12、sage 1Is there enough oil beneath the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (保護區(qū)) (ANWR) to help secure Americas energy future? President Bush certainly thinks so. He has argued that tapping ANWRs oil would help ease Californias electricity crisis and provide a major boost to the countrys energy independe

13、nce. But no one knows for sure how much crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth with the last government survey, conducted in 1998, projecting output anywhere from 3 billion to 16 billion barrels.The oil industry goes with the high end of the range, which could equal as much as 10% of U.S. co

14、nsumption for as long as six years. By pumping more than 1 million barrels a day from the reserve for the next two three decades, lobbyists claim, the nation could cut back on imports equivalent to all shipments to the U.S. from Saudi Arabia. Sounds good. An oil boom would also mean a multibillion-d

15、ollar windfall (意外之財) in tax revenues, royalties (開采權(quán)使用費) and leasing fees for Alaska and the Federal Government. Best of all, advocates of drilling say, damage to the environment would be insignificant. “Weve never had a document case of oil rig chasing deer out onto the pack ice.” says Alaska Stat

16、e Representative Scott Ogan.Not so far, say environmentalists. Sticking to the low end of government estimates, the National Resources Defense Council says there may be no more than 3.2 billion barrels of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR, a drop in the bucket that would do v

17、irtually nothing to ease Americas energy problems. And consumers would wait up to a decade to gain any benefits, because drilling could begin only after much bargaining over leases, environmental permits and regulatory review. As for ANWRs impact on the California power crisis, environmentalists poi

18、nt out that oil is responsible for only 1% of the Golden States electricity outputand just 3% of the nations.21.What does President Bush think of tapping oil in ANWR?A) It will exhaust the nations oil reserves.B) It will help secure the future of ANWR.C) It will help reduce the nations oil imports.D

19、) It will increase Americas energy consumption.（C）22.We learn from the second paragraph that the American oil industry _.A) believes that drilling for oil in ANWR will produce high yieldsB) tends to exaggerate Americas reliance on foreign oilC) shows little interest in tapping oil in ANWRD) expects

20、to stop oil imports from Saudi Arabia（A）23.Those against oil drilling in ANWR argue that _.A) it can cause serious damage to the environmentB) it can do little to solve U.S. energy problemsC) it will drain the oil reserves in the Alaskan regionD) it will not have much commercial value（B）24.What do t

21、he environmentalists mean by saying “Not so fast” (Line 1, Para. 3)?A) Oil exploitation takes a long timeB) The oil drilling should be delayedC) Dont be too optimisticD) Dont expect fast returns（C）25.It can be learned from the passage that oil exploitation beneath ANWRs frozen earth _.A) remains a c

22、ontroversial issueB) is expected to get under way soonC) involves a lot of technological problemsD) will enable the U.S. to be oil independent（A）Passage 2“Tear em apart!” “Kill the fool!” “Murder the referee (裁判)!”These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are

23、 made, they may seem innocent enough. But lets not kid ourselves. They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed. Volumes have been written about the way words affect us. It has been shown that words having certain connotations (含義) may cause us to react in way

24、s quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior. I see the term “opponent” as one of those words. Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms.The dictionary meaning of the term “opponent “is “adversary “: “enemy “; “one who opposes your interests.” “Thus, when a

25、player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. At such times, winning may dominate ones intellect, and every action, no matter how gross, may be considered justifiable. I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a players request for a time out f

26、or a glove change because he did not considered then wet enough. The player proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then exclaimed. “Are they wet enough now?”In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences tha

27、t such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponents international and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It cer

28、tainly gives proof of a court attitude which departs from normal behavior.Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated (提升) the game to the level where it belongs thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world. Replacing the term “opponent” with “associate” could be an ideal way to star

29、t.The dictionary meaning of the term “associate” is “colleague”; “friend”; “companion.” Reflect a moment! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term “associate” rather than “opponent.”26.Which of the following statements best expresses the authors view?A) Aggressi

30、ve behavior in sports can have serious consequences.B) The words people use can influence their behavior.C) Unpleasant words in sports are often used by foreign athletes.D) Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports field.（B）27.Harsh words are spoken during games because the pl

31、ayers _.A) are too eager to winB) are usually short-tempered and easily offendedC) cannot afford to be polite in fierce competitionD) treat their rivals as enemies（D）28.What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves?A) He refused to continue the game.B) He an

32、grily hit the referee with a ball.C) He claimed that the referee was unfair.D) He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt.（D）29.According to the passage, players, in a game, may _.A) deliberately throw the ball at anyone illegally blocking their wayB) keep on screaming and shouting through

33、out the gameC) lie down on the ground as an act of protestD) kick the ball across the court with force（A）30.The author hopes to have the current situation in sports improved by _.A) calling on players to use clean language on the courtB) raising the referees sense of responsibilityC) changing the at

34、titude of players on the sports fieldD) regulating the relationship between players and referees（C）Passage 3Consumers are being confused and misled by the hodge-podge (大雜燴) of environmental claims made by household products, according to a “green labeling” study published by Consumers International

35、Friday.Among the reports more outrageous (令人無法容忍的) findings-a German fertilizer described itself as “earthworm friendly” a brand of flour said it was “non-polluting” and a British toilet paper claimed to be “environmentally friendlier”The study was written and researched by Britains National Consume

36、r Council (NCC) for lobby group Consumer International. It was funded by the German and Dutch governments and the European Commission.“ While many good and useful claims are being made, it is clear there is a long way to go in ensuring shoppers are adequately informed about the environmental impact

37、of products they buy,” said Consumers International director Anna Fielder.The 10-country study surveyed product packaging in Britain, Western Europe, Scandinavia and the United States. It found that products sold in Germany and the United Kingdom made the most environmental claims on average.The rep

38、ort focused on claims made by specific products, such as detergent (洗滌劑) insect sprays and by some garden products. It did not test the claims, but compared them to labeling guidelines set by the International Standards Organization (ISO) in September, 1999.Researchers documented claims of environme

39、ntal friendliness made by about 2,000 products and found many too vague or too misleading to meet ISO standards.“Many products had specially-designed labels to make them seem environmentally friendly, but in fact many of these symbols mean nothing,” said report researcher Philip Page.“Laundry deterg

40、ents made the most number of claims with 158. Household cleaners were second with 145 separate claims, while paints were third on our list with 73. The high numbers show how very confusing it must be for consumers to sort the true from the misleading.” he said.The ISO labeling standards ban vague or

41、 misleading claims on product packaging, because terms such as “environmentally friendly” and “non-polluting” cannot be verified. “What we are now pushing for is to have multinational corporations meet the standards set by the ISO.” said Page.31.According to the passage, the NCC found it outrageous

42、that _.A) all the products surveyed claim to meet ISO standardsB) the claims made by products are often unclear or deceivingC) consumers would believe many of the manufactures claimD) few products actually prove to be environment friendly（B）32.As indicated in this passage, with so many good claims,

44、n the environment（D）33.A study was carried out by Britains NCC to _.A) find out how many claims made by products fail to meet environmental standardsB) inform the consumers of the environmental impact of the products they buyC) examine claims made by products against ISO standardsD) revise the guide

45、lines set by the International Standards Organization（C）34.What is one of the consequences caused by the many claims of household products?A) They are likely to lead to serious environmental problems.B) Consumers find it difficult to tell the true from the false.C) They could arouse widespread anger

46、 among consumer.D) Consumers will be tempted to buy products they dont need.（B）35.It can be inferred from the passage that the lobby group Consumer International wants to _.A) make product labeling satisfy ISO requirementsB) see all household products meet environmental standardsC) warn consumers of

47、 the danger of so-called green productsD) verify the efforts of non-polluting products（A）Passage 4Two hours from the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some of the worlds largest black bears. They are in northern Pennsylvanias Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance of o

48、ther wildlife.The streams, lakes, meadows (草地), mountain ridges and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats (棲息地) are endangered by highway construction.

49、 To protect the Poconos natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy (大自然保護協(xié)會) named the area one of Americas “Last Great Places”.Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennsylvania, the conservancys bud Cook is working with local people and

50、business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forging partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area.Altemoses family has farmed in the Pocono area for gener

51、ations. Two years ago Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his familys land can be protected from development and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson.Cook attribu

52、tes the Conservancys success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents“The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community,” Cook said. “The people who live there respect the land.
