2、0 yards and in 1 fires 2 corners. Its message to enemies is that they can run but they cant hide. Still in the development phase, the rifle for 2006 has just been 3 off with great 4 by the Pentagon to members of Congress who will be asked to 5 the money. The makers, Alliant Techsystems, say that the
3、 weapon will revolutionize 6 combat much as the machine gun. Pentagon jargon has given the new gun a(an) 7 title: the Objective Individual Combat Weapon. 8 one trigger, the rifle can fire a standard 5-56mm Nato bullet and a 20mm high explosive shell that will burst in the air. It can 9 shrapnel behi

The weapons 1,000 yard accuracy is twice 13 of other rifles, made possible by a laser system built into the sight. This rangefinder fixes the target, measures the dis
5、tance and passes it along to a computer chip in the shell. The gunsight has an infrared lens for night 14. It can also have video camera with a zoom lens that is linked to a video display attached to the soldiers helmet, allowing him to aim 15 without exposing himself to enemy return fire. But there

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1 (40 points) Text 1 It is all very well to blame traffic jam
11、s, 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 in the drivers seat is another matter altogether. Yo
12、u 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 hand. Road politeness is not only good manners, but
13、 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. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in res
14、ponse 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 politeness when they see it. However, misplaced poli
15、teness 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 child across a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming
16、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 driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would he
17、lp 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 boatmanship. Years ago the experts warned us that the car-
18、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 Jams are mainly caused by the cost of petrol and the
19、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 politeness . A can better the traffic unconditionall
20、y 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 ladies to cross the road at any time they want. B Bra
21、king 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 car-ownership explosion, we should . A be more conside
22、rate yield to each other B communicate with each other more often C have a cool head and good temper来源: D avoid misplaced politeness 25 The authors attitude towards road politeness seems to be . A suspiciousB indifferentC ironicalD objective Text 2 In the warm enclosed waters of farm ponds, conditio
23、ns 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 direct dose as rop dusting pilots neglect to shut of
24、f 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 would hardly change the lethal situation, for applic
25、ations 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 repeated drainings and flushings that it killed 94 perce
26、nt 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 Department stated in 1961 that reports of fish losses i
27、n 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 application of insecticides to crops, heavy rain, and
28、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 Rhodesia, for example, the young of an important African f
29、ood 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 of controlling mosquitoes and at the same time conser
30、ving 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 reportorialB sarcastic C condemnatoryD mournful 27.According to the passage, the one factor that is not responsible for the presence of ins
31、ecticides 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 killing 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 problemB give examples C propose a solution
