16、 are 2 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the center

17、.Passage OneQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Three Yale University professors agreed in a panel discussion tonight that the automobile was what one of them called “Public Health Enemy No.1 in this country.” Besides polluting the air and congesting the cities, cars are involved i

18、n more than half the disabling accidents, and they cause heart disease “because we dont walk anywhere anymore,” said Dr. H. Richard Weinerman, professor of medicine and public health. Dr. Weinermans sharp criticism of automobile came in a discussion of human environment on Yale Reports, a radio prog

19、ram broadcast by Station WTIC in Hartford, Connecticut. The program opened a three-part series on “Staying Alive.” “For the first time in human history, the problem of mans survival has to do with his control of man-made dangers,” Dr. Weinerman said. “Before this, the problem had been the control of

20、 natural dangers.”Relating many of these dangers of the automobile, Arthur W. Galston, a professor of biology, said it was possible to make a kerosene-burning car that would “lessen smog by a very large factor.” But he expressed doubt that Americans were willing to give up moving about the countrysi

21、de at 90 miles an hour in a large vehicle. “America seems wedded to the motor car - every family has to have at least two, and one has to be a convertible with 300 horsepower,” Professor Galston continued. “Is this the way of life that we choose because we cherish these values?”For Paul B. Sears, pr

22、ofessor of conservation, part of the blame lies with “a society that regards profit as a supreme value, under the false idea that anything thats technically possible is, therefore, ethically justified.” Professor Sears also called the countrys dependence on its modern automobile “lousy economics” be

23、cause of the large horsepower used simply “moving one person to work.” But he agreed that Americans have painted themselves into a corner by allowing the national economy to become so reliant on the automobile industry.According to Dr. Weinerman, automobiles, not the factories, are responsible for t

24、wo-thirds of the smog in American cities, and the smog presents the possibility of a whole new kind of epidemic, not due to one germ, but due to polluted environment. “Within another five to ten years, its possible to have an epidemic of lung cancer in a city like Los Angeles. This is a new phenomen

25、on in health concern,” he said.The solution, he continued, is “not to find a less dangerous fuel, but a different system of inner-city transportation. Because of the increasing use of cars, public transportation has been allowed to wither and degenerate, so that if you cant walk to where you want to

26、 go, you have to have a car in most cities,” he asserted. This, in turn, Dr. Weinerman contended, is responsible for the “arteriosclerosis” of public roads, for the blight of the inner city and for the middle-class movement to the suburbs.31. The main idea of this article is that _. A Americans are

27、too attached to their cars.B American cars run too fast and consume too much fuel.C the automobile industry has caused all this to happen.D automobiles endanger both the environment and people. 32. In paragraph 2, Professor Galston implies that _.A people are more interested in fast automobiles than

28、 in their health.B kerosene-burning cars would pollute the environment more seriously than gasoline-burning engines do.C Americans feel more closely connected to their cars than to the environment.D it is not right for every family to have at least two cars.33. In paragraph 3, Professor Sears implie

29、s that _.A technology is always good for people.B technology is not always good for people.C financial profit is more important than technological advancement.D technological advancement will improve financial profit.34. It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that _.A a fuel less dangerous than gasolin

30、e must be found.B people should get rid of their cars and take the bus to work.C public transportation should be improved so that people can become less dependent upon their cars for inner-city transportation.D the only solution to this problem is to build more high ways and more subways.35. Dr. Weinerman would probably agree that _, if public transportation were improved.A the inner city might improveB the middle class would move to the suburbsC public roads would get worseD there woul
