11、nts) Text 1 It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modern life, but manners on the roads are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. It is all very well, again, to have a tiger in the tank, but to have one

12、in the drivers seat is another matter altogether. You might tolerate the odd road-hog, the rude and inconsiderate drive, but nowadays the well men neared motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps the situation calls for a Be kind to Other Drivers campaign, otherwise it may get completely out of

13、 hand. Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge when subjected to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes along way towards relieving the tensions of motoring

14、. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays dont even seem able to recognize

15、politeness when they see it. However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who brakes violently to allow a car to emerge from a side street at some hazard to following traffic, when a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway; or the man who waves a chil

16、d across a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies. A veteran driv

17、er, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists learnt to filter correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages that give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists cant even learn to drive, let alone master the subtler aspects of boatma

18、nship. Years ago the experts warned us that the car-ownership explosion would demand a lot more give and take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart. 21.According to the first paragraph, which of the following reflects the situation on the roads? A.Traffic J

19、ams are mainly caused by the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modern life. B.The manners of the drivers are the only reason for the traffic jams. C.Be kind to other drivers is a campaign to change the rude drive. D.People can not tolerate good manners on the road. 22.The author argues that road

20、politeness . A.can better the traffic unconditionally B.calls for a drivers cool-headed and good-tempered personality C.can be found after the modern traffic conditions stand up D.are acknowledged by most drivers 23.Which of the following does NOT illustrate misplaced politeness? A.Encouraging old l

21、adies to cross the road at any time they want. B.Braking suddenly to allow a car to emerge from a side street. C.A motorist driving into traffic streams without considering others. D.Waving a child across a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles. 24.According to the experts, facing the ca

22、r-ownership explosion, we should . A.be more considerate yield to each other B.communicate with each other more often C.have a cool head and good temper D.avoid misplaced politeness 25.The authors attitude towards road politeness seems to be . A.suspicious B.indifferent C.ironical D.objective Text 2

23、 In the warm enclosed waters of farm ponds, conditions are very likely to be lethal for fish when insecticides are applied in the vicinity. As many examples show, the poison is carried in by rains and runoff from surrounding lands. Sometimes the ponds receive not only contaminated runoff but also a

24、direct dose as rop dusting pilots neglect to shut off the duster in passing over a pond. Even without such complications, normal agricultural use subjects fish to far heavier concentrations of chemicals than would be require to kill them. In other words a marked reduction in the enclosure nets used

25、would hardly change the lethal situation, for applications of over 0.1 pound per acre to the pond itself are generally considered hazardous. And the poison, once introduced is hard to get rid of. One pond that has been treated with DDT (杀虫剂) to remove unwanted shiners remained poisonous through repe

26、ated drainings and flushings that it killed 94 percent of the sun fish with which it was later stocked. Apparently the chemical remained in the mud of the pond bottom. Conditions are evidently no better now than when the modern insecticides first came into use. The Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Dep

27、artment stated in 1961 that reports of fish losses in farm ponds and small lakes had been coming in at the rate of at least one a week, and that such reports were increasing. The conditions usually responsible for these losses in Oklahoma were those made familiar by repetition over the years: the ap

28、plication of insecticides to crops, heavy rain, and poison washed into the ponds. In some parts of the world the cultivation of fish in ponds provides an in dispensable source of food. In such places the use of insecticides without regard for the effects of fish creates immediate problems. In Rhodes

29、ia, for example, the young of an important African food fish are killed by exposure to only 0.04 parts per million of DDT in shallow pools. Even smaller doses of many other insecticides would be lethal. The shallow waters in which these fish live are favorable mosquito-breeding places. The problem o

30、f controlling mosquitoes and at the same time conserving a fish important in the Central African diet has obviously not been solved satisfactorily. 26.The authors tone in this passage can be best described as . A.reportorial B.sarcastic C.condemnatory D.mournful 27.According to the passage, the one

31、factor that is not responsible for the presence of insecticides in ponds is . A.the weather bringing in rains B.human error in crop-dusting C.common farming methods D.industrialization use of chemicals 28.The author uses the case of the Rhodesian fish in order to . A.show the harmful effects of kill

32、ing fish B.prove that problems are the same everywhere C.show that fish is an indispensable source in diet D.consider the problem of controlling mosquitoes 29. In this passage, what the author does not do is . A.state a problem B.give examples C.propose a solution D.relate causes 30.The last sentence of this passage means that . A.you can not control mosquitoes if you want to conserve an important fish B.you can not conserve an important fish if you want to control mosquitoes C.the Central Africans will hav
