personal decisions that may concern our health. If we desire so, wecan smoke, drink excessively, refuse to wear seat belts, eatwhatever foods we want, and live a completely sedentary lifestylewithout any exercise. The freedom to make such personal decisions isa fundamental aspect of our society, although the wisdom of thesedecisions can be questioned. Personal choices relative to healthoften cause a difficulty. As one example, a teenager may know thefacts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but may be pressuredby friends into believing it is the socially accepted thing to do.
Amultitude of factors, both inherited and environmental, influence thedevelopment of health-related behaviors, and it is beyond the scopeof this text to discuss all these factors as they may affect anygiven individual. However, the decision to adopt a particularhealth-related behavior is usually one of personal choices. There arehealthy choices and there are unhealthy choices. In discussing themorals of personal choice, Fries and Crapo drew a comparison. Theysuggest that to knowingly give oneself over to a behavior that has astatistical probability of shortening life is similar to attemptingsuicide. Thus, for those individuals who are interested in preservingboth the quality and quantity of life, personal health choices shouldreflect those behaviors that are associated with a statisticalprobability of in- creased vitality and longevity.
81.The concept of personal choice concerning health is important because______.
[A] personal health choices help cure most illnesses

[A]current medical knowledge is still insufficient
[B]there are many factors influencing our decisions
[C]few people are willing to trade the quality of life for the quantityof life
[D]people are usually influenced by the behavior of their friends
84.To knowingly allow oneself to pursue unhealthy habits is compared byFries and Crapo to______.
[A]improving the quality of one's life [B] limiting one's personalhealth choice [C]deliberately ending one's life [D]breaking the rules of social behavior 85. According to Fries andCrapo sound health choice should be based on ______.

"Brazilhas become one of the developing world's great successes at reducingpopulation growth—but more by accident than by design. Whilecountries such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birthrates, Brazil has had a better result without really trying,"says George Martine at Harvard.
Brazil'spopulation growth rate has dropped from 2.99% a year between 1951 and1960 to 1.93% a year between 1981 and 1990, and Brazilian women nowhave only 2.7 children on average. Martine says this figure may havefallen still further since 1990, an achievement that makes it theenvy of many other Third World countries.
Both played an important, although indirect, role in lowering thebirth rate. Brazil is one of the world's biggest Martine puts it downto, among other things, soap operas and installment plans introducedin the 1970s.

TEXTC
Inmost countries, the law on organ transplantation is poorly defined,as legislation has not yet been created to cope with this advance insurgery. The existing framework relating to physical assault and careof the dead has no provision for organ transplantation. It iscustomary to ask the permission of the relatives, but, because organremoval must take place immediately after death, it may be impossibleto reach the relatives in time. It has been suggested that thereshould be a widespread campaign to encourage persons to provide intheir wills that their organs be used for transplantation. Analternative is to provide by law that permission is assumed unlessremoval has been forbidden by the individual in his lifetime. Suchlaws have been passed in Denmark, France, Sweden, Italy, and Israel.Compulsory postmortem examination, a far more extensive procedurethan organ removal for grafting, is required in most countries afterunexpected death, and this compulsion is not a matter of publicconcern and debate.
There would seem to be no reason why organ removal fortransplantation purpose should not also be acceptable to publicopinion, provided there is a mechanism by which individuals in theirlifetime can refuse this permission. This, of course, requires anefficient register of those who indicate their refusal: the registerwould be consulted before any organs would be removed. It isimportant that there be public reassurance that consideration

91.According to the author, which of the following is NOT true?
[A]Most countries do not have an effective law on organ transplantation.
[B]The traditional way of asking for permission of relatives for organremoval does not prove to be always feasible.
[C]It is hard to understand why people should remain silent oncompulsory postmortem exam after unexpected death.
[D]In some countries there are laws providing that the permission oforgan removal is taken for granted unless it has been refused by theperson in his lifetime.
92.Which of the following is NOT a suggestion made in the passage?
[A]People should be encouraged to donate their organs after death.
[B]Organ removal should be permitted in the course of compulsorypostmortem exam.
[C]Organ removal for transplantation should be advocated because itbenefits the hu- man society.

TEXTD
Itis hard to track the blue whale, the ocean's largest creature, whichhas almost been killed off by commercial whaling and is now listed asan endangered species. Attaching radio devices to it is difficult,and visual sightings are too unreliable to give real insight into itsbehavior.
Sobiologists were delighted early this year when, with the help of theNavy, they were able to track a particular blue whale for 43 days,monitoring its sounds. This was possible because of the Navy'sformerly top-secret system of underwater listening devices spanningthe oceans.
Trackingwhales is but one example of an exciting new world just opening tocivilian scientists after the cold war as the Navy starts to shareand partly uncover its global network of underwater listening systembuilt over the decades to track the ships of potential enemies.

[试题分析] 本题是一道细节题。[详细解答]新闻中提到“The most powerfulstorm. PART Ⅲ CLOZE30.答案A
list是单数,因此[B]正确,而[A]错误。
32.
33.[C] in agreement with是一个固定搭配,意为“与……相一致”agreement with your actions.你言行不一。
34.[D] of在此处作“在……之中”讲,如:Ofl97 million square miles making up the surface of the globe,about71% is covered by the interconnecting bodies of main water.在组成地球表面的19700万平方英里的面积中,大约71%由相互联结在一起的水域所覆盖。
可见复数谓语动词[B]和[D]35.[C] 在这里theformer的先行词是单数名词词组thepopular newspaper,
错误。根据句意,这里需要一个表示“拥有”的意义的动词来作谓语,故[C]正确。
36.[B] hundred,thousand和million等数词后加s时,后要跟of组成介词短语,分别表示“成百上千的……”,“成千上万的……”,“成百万上千万的……”。
37.[B] design sth.for作“预定用某物来做(……用途)”讲,符合本题,如:Hedesigled his son for a doctor.他立志要他的儿子作医生。assignsb.tosth.(todo sth.)意为“任命(委派)某人……任某职(做某项工作)”,如:Assignyour best men to do the job.派你最得力的人去干这项工作。proposesb.forsth.意为“提议(建议)某人担任某职务”,如:Ipropose Mr.Smithfor president.我提议史密斯先生担任会长。programsth.意为“为……做程序”。
38.[C] 因为anumber of,many of 和afew of 后面只可跟可数名词复数,又因为commentand persuasive language 是不可数名词,所以[A]、[B]和[D]错误。由于alot of 后既可跟可数名词,也可跟不可数名词,故[C]为正确答案。
seemed to me to be of littleuse.在我看来几乎没有什么用处的东西,校长却认为很重要,所以[B]符合题39.[B] put a value on 的意思是“认为……很重要”,如:Theheadmaster put a great value on what
意。
40.[B] 根据句意,此处需要一个能够和上文中higher构成对比意义的形容词比较级,因此,[B]为正确答案。
41.[C]根据句子结构,可以看出让在这里作的是形式主语,而真正的主语却是后面的从句,在这里需要一个关系词来引导主语从句,可见[A]错误。另外由于在该主语从句中,既不缺主语,也不少宾语,因此不能选用which,因为which引导从句时要在从句中作成分。因为作者以上讨论的是popularnewspapers 与qualitynewspapers在内容上存在的差异,因此只能选[C]。
”,我们就可肯定42.[A] 根据本段第一句话“Itis not only in content that the two types of paper differ.
[A]为正确答案。
43.[C] 由于动词write和thearticles是逻辑上的动宾关系,因此这里要使用被动语态,所以[A]和[D]错误。由于[B]是非谓语动词,因此也不适合本题。正确答案应为[C]。
44.[D] 根据上下文,我们可以看出,在这里,作者谈论的是报纸所使用的语言风格问题,而不是其他,所以[D]为正确答案。
45.[C] 动词tend后只能使用不定式作宾语,意为“倾向于做……”,例如:Inthe second place,reading,ifit is active,isthinking,andthinking tends to express itself in words,spokenor written.其次,如果阅读是一种能动的行为,那么它就是思考,而思考常常需借助口头或书面的语言来表达。
46.[B] this指代上文中的“Theirreporters tend to use shorter sentences and avoid less well-known ”一句,而that引导的宾语从句则是对上一句话的进一步的解释和说明,因此选动词mean,该vocabulary.
动词在此作“意味着,意思是”讲,例如:Wheneverpeople say that sort of thing,youknow they don't mean it.每当人们谈到那种事情时,你要知道他们并不当真。
satellite to be launched into space,agreat force is needed to overcome the force ofgravity.为了把卫星发射到太空中去,就要有一个很大的动力来克服地球的吸引力。 48.[C] 根据句子结构,此处需要一个引导宾语从句的关系代词,同时该关系代词又可与后面的连词
47.[D] for a native speaker to understand 是不定式的复合结构,在这里作状语,例如:Inorder for a
来,我们都要坚决将其消灭。49.[B] 根据句子结构,我们可以看出这里需要一个能够作形式主语的代词,在这里只有[B]才能起or 连用,因此[C]正确。
到这种作用。
50.[D] 在先行词为direction,reason,way等的定语从句中,一般用“介词+which"结构来引导定语从句,当然,也可以用that来代替该结构,也可以将该结构省略,例如:Noone except you can under- stand the way (in which,that)Imiss my son.除你以外,没有人能理解我是多么想念我的儿子。又如:Thedirection(in which,that)aforce acts is changeable.力作用的方向是可以改变的。再如:Mysuccess in business,thereason(for which,why)hedislikes me,hasbeen due to hard work.他因为我在事业上的成功而不喜欢我,而我的成功是我努力工作才取得的。
PARTⅣ GRAMMAR & VOCABULARY
51.[D] 虚拟语气用在条件句中表示将来可能性很小的假设,从句使用“should(could,might)+动词原形”或者“wereto do",主句使用"whould(could)+动词原形”,如:Ifgreen plants should disappear some day,therewould hardly be any life on the earth.假如有一天绿色植物消失了,地球上几乎就不会有什么生命了。
52.[B] 与advise,ask,beg,decide,demand,deserve,desire,insist,intend,maintain,move,order,propose,recommend,request,require,suggest,urge等表示意见、建议、命令、请求、要求、劝告、愿望,需要等含义的动词相关的名词性从句中,谓语要使用动词原形或"should+动词原形”insistedthat the work should be finished by the middle of June.牛虻坚持必须在6月中旬之前把工作做完。,如:Gadfly
如:It is high time that a doctorwere sent for.早就该让人去请医生了。Itis high time that you got a wife and 53.[A] 在"it is(high)timethat"结构中,从句使用一般过去式,表示虚拟语气,意为“早该……了”,
settleddown.你早该找个妻子安个家了。
54.[A]有些动词后既可用不定式也可用动名词作宾语,但是意义不同,不过总的来说,不定式表示动作尚未发生或完成,而动名词则表示动作已经发生或完成了,如:Pleaseremember to bring the book next time.请记住下次把这本书带来。Iremember seeing her,butI forget where.我记得见过她,但是忘了在什么地方。
55.[C] 不定式作定语,位于被修饰成分之后,与被修饰成分为逻辑主谓关系,不定式所表示的动作一般发生在主句谓语动词的同时或之后,如:Thedirector announced his intention to retire.经理宣布他打算退休。Hisparents will not like his plan to live abroad.他的父母不会喜欢他的到国外定居的计划。
56.[C]现在分词作状语时,与句子主语应为逻辑主谓关系;过去分词作状语时,和句子主语应为逻辑动宾关系,否则就形成了悬垂分词结构,如;*Lookingback,thehouse seemed to have been en- gulfed by the snow,whichfell faster and faster.(短语动词lookback和句子主语无逻辑关系,我们可将现在分词改为状语从句:Whenwe looked back)回头而望,雪越下越大,好像要把那座房子吞没掉似的。
57.[D] 在时间、条件状语从句中,当从句主语和主句主语是一致的时候,可以将从句的主语和be的变化形式省略。但如果从句省略了主语和be的变化形式,而主句主语和从句主语却不一致,这时该状语从句就成了悬垂从句,如:*While moving the bureau,myback was hurt.(move和句子主语myback无逻辑关系,而其真正的逻辑主语应为“I”,因此可将本句改为WhileI was moving the bureau,myback was hurt.)在我搬桌子的时候,我的背受伤了。
58.[C] 关系代词as可引导非限制性定语从句,这时,as指代整个主句。既可放在主句前,也可放在主句后,后一种情况往往被看作是插入语,如:Asis known to us all,contributionsto computer technology are no longer confined to any onecountry.大家都知道,对计算机技术作出贡献的,已经不仅仅是某一个国
开头的句子中,其相应的主语的定语从句可以省略掉关联词。如:Hehas made a list of all the papers (that,which)thereare on this subject.他将所有关于这个题目的论文列了一个单子。59.[A] 当there be结构作定语从句时,可以省略掉从句中作主语的关系代词,另外,在以therebe
家了。
the forest where there was scarcely any light 我们走进森林的一角,那里几乎一点光线也没有。 61.[B] now that可引导原因状语从句,意为“既然”,如:Nowthat you have the chance,you'dbetter avail yourself of it.既然你有机会,就要充分利用。
62.[D] 当and连接一个祈使句和一个陈述句时,它前面的祈使句表示条件,相当于if引导酌条件状语从句,如;Knityour brows,andyou will hit upon a stratagem.眉头一皱,计上心来。有时候,and前用一名词或名词词组,也可起到同样的作用:Afew months more,andthe hydra-electric station will be generatingelectricity.再过几个月,这座水电站就可以发电了。
63.[D] as作“即使”讲,可以引导让步状语从句,此时从句不能使用正常语序,如:Muchas we admire
Shakespeare's comedies,wecannot agree that they are superior to histragedies.虽然我们推崇莎士比亚的喜剧,但对其喜剧胜于悲剧的说法却不敢苟同。
64.[D] what可以用来引导表语从句,如:Onehundred and forty pounds was what I used to weigh.我过去重140磅。
,如:He must have 65.[C] “must+完成式”表示对过去提出肯定的假设,意为“当时一定……”
knownwhat she wanted.他一定早已知道她想要什么了。I'msorry she's not here.She musthave left al- ready.抱歉,她不在这儿。准是走了。66.[A] 为了加强语气,“so(such)…that"结构中的so可以提到句首,这时主谓要倒装,如:Such
was the force of explosion that all the windows werebroken.爆炸的威力很大,所有的窗子都震坏了。67.[A] magnify 意为“放大,扩大”,符合本题题意,如:Wemagnify objects with a microscope.我
们用显微镜放大物体。increase意为“增加,增长”,如:Thecompany has increased the capital stock from 10,000poundsto 20,000pounds.这家公司已把资金从一万镑增加到两万镑。develop则作“发展,开发”讲,如:Wemust develop all the natural substances in our country which can makeus rich.我们必须开发可以使我:Efficiency国致富的国内天然资源。multiply也有“增加”的意思,但它强调的是“增加数倍,繁殖”,如willbe multiplied several times.效率将增加数倍。
68.[D] limitation常用复数形式表示“限度,局限”,如:Awise man knows his own limitations.聪明人知道自己的能力有限。boundary则意为“边界,分界线”,如:TheYalu forms the boundary between China andKorea.鸭绿江成了中朝两国的分界线。restraint作“克制,遏制”讲,如:Ithink you showed great restraint in not hitting him after hearingwhat he said.听了他的话而没揍他,我认为你的自制力相当强。confinement意为“监禁,软禁,禁闭”,如:Hewas sentenced to three months’solitaryconfinement.他被判了三个月的单独禁闭。
69.[B] but for意为“若非,要不是”,如;Butfor your help,weshould not have finished in time.要不是你帮忙,我们不会及时完工。exceptfor作“除……外”讲,如:Theroad was empty except for a few :Hecars.路上除几辆汽车外,没有往来行人及车辆。介词with通常表示“一起,伴同,伴随”等意义,如hasworked with the firm for ten years.他在那家公司工作了十年。for作介词则常用来表示目的、原因、对象、交换等,如:Forproduction to be increased we must have efficientorganization.我们必须有效地组织才能增加产量。
Itwas he who originated the scheme.是他70.[A] originate此处意为“发起,首创”,符合题意,如:
发起的这个计划。manufacture意为“(大量)制造”,如:Manycountries sell manufactured goods abroad.许多国家把制成品卖到国外。generate意为“发(热或电),产生”,如:Ourelectricity comes from a new generatingstation.我们的电来自一个新的发电厂。estimate作“估计,评价”讲,如:Iestimate her age at 35.我估计她有35岁。

意为“独特的,异常的”,如:Hisstyle is unique.他的风格很独特。particular则意为“特别的,特殊的,个别的”,如:Hetook particular trouble to get it right.他费了好大的劲才把它弄好。
73.[D] artistically意为“艺术地,精巧地”,符合本题题意,如:Shealways decorated her room artistically.

74.[B] consistent常与with搭配,意为“与……一致,与……相符”,如;Hisactions are always consistent with hiswords.他始终言行如一。其他三个介词均不能与consistent搭配。

hostess dressed in her Sunday best together with the guests of honorwas seated comfortably in the drawing 76.[C] 需要注意的是本句的主语Mr.Wells,是单数,因此谓语动词要使用单数。例如:The
room.女主人穿着她最好的礼服,和贵宾们一起舒适地坐在客厅里。begin,come,go,leave,start等动词的现在进行时可以表示将来时意义,例如:Theyare coming to dinner tonight.今晚他们要来吃晚饭。We'releaving for Rome next week.我们下星期要到罗马去。

PARTⅤ READING COMPREHENSION
81.[D] 根据本文第二句话"Anestimated 90 percent of all illnesses may be preventable ifindividuals would make sound personal health choices based uponcurrent medicalknowledge.”,可以得知,不正确的个人选择会导致疾病的发生,而[A]和[B]在文章中未提及,[C]与本文无关,故[D]是惟一正确的选择。
82.[A] 从上下文便可以判断出该短语的意思。文中提到的"livea completely sedentary life-style without any exercise"就暗示出"sedentarylife-style"与"exercise"是矛盾的,由此就可以断定[A]最贴近原短语的意思,为正确答案。
83.[B]根据最后一段的第一句话及第一段第二句,很显然[A]与文中的内容不符;尽管[D]是一个原因但不全面,只有[B]才是正确、全面的原因。而[C]中所述文中未提及,故[C]是错误答案。
84.[C] 在第二段中作者指出:Fries和Crapo 通过比喻的方式指出“…toknowingly give oneself over to a behavior that has a statisticalprobability of shortening life is similar to attemptingsuicide.为正确答案。 ,可见[C]
命的行为无异于自杀,85.[C] 根据文章最后两句话,不难看出:Fries和Crapo认为,采取有统计数据显示的可能缩短寿而有利于健康的选择应是那些有统计数据显示的可以提高生命力和延长寿命的行为,
所以,哪些是有利于健康的行为,这要根据统计数据而定。因此只有[C]是正确的,而其他选择项则未提及。
86.[D] 就巴西降低了人口增长速度,文章在第一段明确地给出了原因"Brazilhas become one of the ,可见developingworld's great successes at reducing population growth—butmore by accident than bydesign.”[D]为正确答案。文章第三段提到通俗电视连续剧对观众潜移默化的计划生育教育,然而这种教育只是歪打正着,并不是拍摄电视节目的初衷,所以[B]非正确答案。而[A]和[C]未在文中提到。
87.[C] 从文章第一段中"Whilecountries such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birthrates…”和第二段中的“…thisfigure may have fallen still further since l990,anachievement that makes it the envy of many other Third Worldcountries.”,可见包括印度在内的第三世界国家在降低人口增长方面付出了努力,但效果不大,所以[C]“尚未找到一个有效的控制人口增长的措施”为正确答案。选项[A]“一直认为计划生育不重要”与以上分析不符,不是正确答案。[B]“不久要和巴西联手控制生育率”和[D]“忽视了电视在计划生育方面的作用”在文章中未提及,不是正确答案。
88.[A] 首先我们必须明确it在这里指代“巴西的人口增长降低了”这么一个事实,然后我们可以使用排除法将一些选项排除。如选[B]“这是……的一个原因”,根据下文可以知道,“巴西的人口增长降低
了”是结果而不是原因,原因应为“通俗电视连续剧的播映和分期付款计划方案的实施”,可见,如选[B]就会将因果颠倒,不合乎逻辑。如果选择[C]“将其总结为……”,那么作为一个事实提出的“巴西的人口增长降低了”又怎么被总结呢?如果选[D]“将其与……做比较”,那么“巴西的人口增长降低了”这个事实
又怎么可以和原因做比较呢,它们之间没有共性可言。由此我们可以将[B]、[C]和[D]予以排除。只有[A]“将其归功于……”可供选择,由于下文给出的是“巴西的人口增长降低了”的原因,选择项[A]用在此处替代putsit down to符合逻辑,故为正确答案。
89.[B] 就通俗电视连续剧对人们的计划生育观念的影响文章提到尽管电视剧从未"reallytried to work in a message towards the problems ofreproduction",但电视剧描述了"middleand upper class values—not many children,differentattitudes towards sex,womenworking",从而“sent thisimage to all parts of Brazil and made people conscious of otherpatterns of behavior and other values,which were put into a very attractivepackage.”,可见[B]“它们逐渐地改变了人们的生活方式”为正确答案。而选择项[A]“它们使人们坐下来
未被提及。
“生育率的提高将有助于刺激消费”错误,同时可以肯定[C]“消费模式与生育模式是矛盾的”亦不正确。90.看很长时间的电视”
根据“Thisled to an enormous change in consumptionpatterns…”,可以推理出[B]“消费的欲望有助于降低出生率”,故[B]为正确答案。而[D]“一个国家的产量受其人口增长的限制”未在文中提到,也无法推理出来。
91.[C] [A]符合原文第一段第一句“Inmost countries,thelaw on organ transplantation is poorly ;[B]符合原文第一段第defined,aslegislation has not yet been created to cope with this advance insurgery.”
三句“Itis customary to ask the permission of the relatives,but,bemuseorgan removal must take place immediately after death,itmay be impossible to reach the relatives intime.”;[D]符合原文第一段倒数第二句 而[C]原文并未提及,故选“Suchlaws have been passed in Denmark,France,Sweden,Italy,andIsrael.”;
[C]。
92.[B] 选项[A]和[C]符合第一段第四句“Ithas been suggested that there should be a widespread campaign toencourage persons to provide in their wills that their organs be usedfor transplantation.”;[D]符合第一段第五句"Analternative is to provide by law that permission is assumed unlessre- moral has been forbidden ”;而选项[B]与第一段最后一句"Compulsorypostmortem examination…isby the individual in his lifetime.
required in most countries after unexpected death,andthis compulsion is not a matter of public concern anddebate.resuscitation,arecontinued until it is clear that the brain is dead.”和第三段倒数第二句"Artificial respiration andmassage of the heart,the standardmethods of ”相矛盾,故选[B]。
故选[B]。93。[B] 根据下一段内容,我们就可推测出impair应为“削弱,损害”之意,与weaken意义相近,
94.[D] 正确答案[D]符合原文第三段的最后两句"Artificialrespiration…resuscitation,arecontinued until it is clear that the brain is dead.Mostphysicians consider that beyond this point efforts at resuscitationare useless.”。而其他选项与原文不符。
95.[A] 综观全文,尤其是根据本文第一段第一句“Inmost countries,thelaw on organ transplantation is poorly defined,aslegislation has not yet been created to cope with this advance insurgery.”和第三段第一句"Transplantationhas obviously raised important ethical considerations concerning thediagnosis of death,and,particularly,howfar resuscitation should becontinued.”可以看出,本文主要论述了人体器官移植在法律及伦理方面的争议,即答案[A]。而其他选项明显与原文不符。
96.[B] 本文首先以"trackingwhales”为例说明“theNavy's formerly top-secret system of underwater listeningdevices"对民用研究的用途,然后又讲到其他科学家利用这一系统来进行科学研究的例子,这一切都说明文章的主要内容是“thecivilian use of a military detection system",所以,[B]是正确答案。
97.[A] 根据第三段的“…itsglobal network of underwater listening system built over the decadesto track the ships of potential enemies.”,可以看出这套系统最初是为了“traceand locate enemy vessels”而建立的,所以,[A]符合题意。
98.[C] 文章的最后一段讲述“thedeep-sea listening system"的工作原理,其中讲到“Whatis most important,differentlayers of ocean water can act as channels forsounds…”,由此可见,这一系统就是利用了在传送声音方面"layersof ocean water"的独特特性,因此,[C]是正确答案。
99.[D] 从“trackingwhales”到"monitoringa deep-sea volcanic eruption”再到"trackingocean currents and measuring changes in ocean and globaltemperatures",所有这些都是军用技术转民用的例子,由此我们可以看出,这种技术“incivilian use”上的巨大潜力,因此,[D]为正确答案。
un- derwater listening system…”可以看出,军用设备并没有完全向"civilianscientists"开放,所以,[A]符合题意。 PART Ⅵ WRITING

PassageOne
Thestun total of our knowledge is very small compared to the size of ourignorance. Every advance on the frontier of knowledge opens up agreat vista of the unknown. The scientist is not happy except when hefinds something new. Science is alt incomplete task just as life isincomplete. He call only be happy because he has the opportunity tocontinue the search. Fulfillment can never be there so long asknowledge is imperfect.
Thesearch for truth is not a peaceful occupation. The happiest people Ihave known have not been the men of great wealth achievements orwealth. They have been the simple people who are happily married,enjoying good health and good family life.
Ido not think we search for the stars or moon because we make up ourminds to do so, but because we can’t help ourselves. Imagination istrot an attribute of happiness. A person can be very happy when heknows nothing.
Whileit is true you can get happiness, peace and serenity from being atthe lower end of the ladder, it is also true that you cannot enjoythe ecstasy of achievement. Success in the general sense of the termmeans the opportunity to experience and to realize to tile maximumthe forces that are within us.
PassageTwo
Notlong ago it was assumed that the dangers man would meet in spacewould be terrible, the main ones being radiation and the danger ofbeing hit by meteors. It is per- haps worth remembering that lessthan two centuries ago the dangers of train travel seemed similarlyterrible. A man would certainly die, it was thought, if carried alongat a speed of thirty kilometers per hour.
particularly dangerous when the sun is very active and explosions areoccurring on its surface. The second, less There are two sorts ofradiation man must fear in space. The first is radiation from thesun, and this is
a belt of the chemical ozone between 12 and 21 miles from the ground,which absorbs all the radiation. Once outside the atmosphere,however, man is no longer protected, and radiation can be harmful ina number of ways. A distinction must be drawn between the short-andlong-term effects of radiation. The former are merely unpleasant, butjust because an astronaut returning from a journey in space does notseem to have been greatly harmed, we cannot assume that he is safe.The long-term effects can be extremely serious, even leading todeath.
PassageThree
Abouttwo percent of the population of the United States is of Asianorigin——somefive million people. Chinese, Japanese, and Philippinec form thelargest groups. However, there are also significant numbers ofAsian-Indians, Pakistanis, Koreans, and Vietnamese now living inAmerica. As a result of the war in Vietnam, some 350,000 refugeesfrom that country have entered the United States since the early1970s.
Chineseand Japanese workers were imported into the United States byemployers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Mostof the Chinese settled in California, where they were employed mainlyin heavy industries, such as mining and railroad construction. Theywere faced with intense prejudice and discrimination, especially fromlower-class white people, who saw them as a source of threat to theirjobs. The retreat of the Chinese into distinct Chinatowns was notprimarily their choice, but was en- forced by the hostility theyfaced.
Since Chinese immigration was ended by law in 1882, the Chineseremained largely isolated from the wider society--at least untilrecently.
