Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
To meet
strict air-pollution standards
scheduled to take effect over the next few years, oil companies are racing to make their
fossil fuels as pollution free as the
alternatives,
chiefly methanol (甲醇) and natural gas. Last week Atlantic Richfield, the eighth largest U.S. oil company, said it had developed just such a fuel: a
cleaner-burning gas that the company claims will cut toxic emissions (气体的排放) nearly 50%.If making a better gas is so easy, why hasn't anyone done if before? The simple answer:
cleaner fuels are more
expensive. ARCO's new gas will cost more at the pump than standard gas. If ARCO simply passed those charges on to its customers, they would soon find new places to refuel. But the Los Angeles based company knows that California is about to set new fuel standards that will require all oil companies in the state to reformulate their gas or
switch to
alternative fuels. ARCO has no plans to sell ECX until it is ordered to meet the new standards, which will take effect soon.
Producing
cleaner gas is a matter of improving the refining process. Gas is a
mixture of as many as 100 carbon-based compounds obtained from crude oil by selectively distilling, i.e.getting rid of various hydrocarbons (碳氢化合物). ARCO's goal was to reduce the
concentration of pollutant elements. To make ECX, the company's chemists have to add compounds that cost more to refine.The
cleaner gas has advantages over fuels like methanol M85, a
mixture of 15% gas and 85%
alcohol, which costs 25 cents to 40 cents more than standard gas. Unlike methanol, ECX can be used in any car without
mechanical adjustments or loss of power. As a result, the development could stop the
massiveswitchover to
alternative fuels. Switching to such fuels as methanol and natural gas would require
mechanical adjustments of the millions of cars built each year and installing new pumps and tanks at 200,000 US service stations. It would also end the auto-fuel
monopoly the oil industry has enjoyed for nearly a century.
21. Oil companies are competing with each other to develop ______.A、
cleanerfossil fuels B、
alternatives for gas
C、pollution-free natural gas D、
alternatives for methanol22. The underlined word "toxic" (paragraph 1) can best be replaced by ______.
A、wasteful B、poisonousC、radioactive D、impure
23. If ARCO sold ECX now, its consumers would ______.A、ask it to reformulate the new fuel B、accept the product without complaint
C、refuse to pay the extra charges D、turn to other oil companies24. ECX is more
expensive than standard fuels because it ______.
A、contains more hydrocarbons B、needs more crude oil to produceC、costs more in the refining process D、saves more
energy in application
25. The
writer seems to believe that ECX will help to _______.A、develop the oil industry B、improve the auto technology
C、establish a diversified auto-fuel market D、increase the
output of
alternative fuelsPassage Two
Question 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Anyone who has a fat friend or who is, perhaps, himself fat, knows only too well now little
provision our society makes for such people. Even the daily round provides numerous problems. There are few pieces of clothing that can be bought, seats in cinemas or theatres are so
uncomfortable that few fat people attend them. Fortunately good performances are rare. Home furniture is also
hopelessly inadequate. Then there are the problems of having a bath; the standard size of bath just does not allow a fat person to take up a
horizontal (水平的) position but demands him to stand in it. In today's world, however, these are minor worries in a
culture where slimness is in fashion and all things
desirable come to the person with an
attractively" target="_blank" title="ad.有吸引力地,诱人地">
attractively thin and
delicate figure. Especially in women, this
attribute is a must if they are to
compete in the marriage market.
In fact slimness is not
necessarily either an ideal condition from a physiological point of view or a natural
characteristic. But this is of little comfort to the fat man or women living in our present society. This fashion has been just another
aspect of the desire for
conformity (一致); we have charts showing correct weights for each
height, and there are whole counters in many shops given over to the display of non-fattening foods. The fat person is
doublyunfortunate in that be cannot hide his non-
conformity,
unlike so many of us who have perhaps more subtle forms of eccentricity (怪癖). In those cases where fatness is the result of over-eating, it is, of course, a
reaction to some form of inner
conflict and a much less
harmful one than, say, drug abuse. Where the over weight is due to some
disorder of the body, the fat person is an all-round loser, for not only has he a
physicalillness to cope with but is mocked for having it by many people who should know better.Perhaps fashion will
eventually change to allow a fat frame to become
acceptable, but at present it seems that the pencil-slim fashion models are in safe jobs.
26. According to the
writer, our society fails to ______.A、prevent people from getting fat B、help fat people to lose weight
C、recognize the needs of fat people D、inform people of weight standards27. In today's world, the biggest problem for fat women is their difficulty in ______.
A、finding an ideal husband B、buying
suitable clothesC、building and
attractive figure D、competing in the job market
28. It is of little comfort to fat people that ______.A、slimness is not always an ideal condition
B、slimness is only a fashion at presentC、fatness is not always a physiological problem
D、fatness is only a natural
characteristic29. A fat person is
unfortunate because ______.
A、he has
nowhere to hide himself B、he has no one to turn to for helpC、he is
unable to cope with his
illness D、he is
unable to
conceal his fatness
30. The
writer's tone can best be described as one of ______.A、impatience B、dissatisfaction
C、threat D、reliefPassage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Appreciation of
sculpture(雕塑) depends upon the
ability to
respond to form in three dimensions. That is perhaps why
sculpture has been described as the most difficult of all arts; certainly it is more difficult than the arts which
involveappreciation of flat forms, shape in only first distinguishes only two-dimensional shape; it cannot judge distances, depths. Later, for its personal
safely and practical needs, it has to develop (partly by means of touch) the
ability to judge
roughly three-dimensional distances. But having satisfied the requirements of practical necessity, most people go no further. Though they may
attainconsiderableaccuracy in perceiving flat form, they do not make the further
intellectual and
emotional effort needed to
perceive form in its full spatial (空间的) existence.
This is what the
sculptor (雕塑家) must do. He must think of, and use, form in its full spatial completeness. He gets the solid shape, as it were, inside his head - he thinks of it,
whatever its size, as if he were
holding it completely in his hand. He mentally visualizes a
complex form from all round itself; he knows while he looks at one side what the other side is like; he identifies him self with its center of
gravity, its mass, its weight.And the
sensitiveobserver of
sculpture must also learn to feel shape simply as shape, not as
description. He must, for example,
perceive an egg as a simple single solid shape, quite apart from its
significance as food, or from the
literary idea that it will become a bird, a cat, a heart, a tree, a gate, a book, a bone. From these he can go on to
appreciate more
complex forms or combinations of several forms.
31. Sculpture is regarded as the most difficult of all arts because it can be
appreciated only by people who ______.A、can judge
roughly three-dimensional distances
B、can
perceive form in its full spatial existenceC、have
attained
accuracy in perceiving flat form
D、have met the requirements of practical necessity32. A "form-blind" man is
unable to ______.
A、judge two-dimensional distancesB、see objects clearly at a distance
C、distinguish two-dimensional formD、
respond to form in three dimensions
33. The
writer implies that the
sensitiveobserver______.A、may have trouble appreciating
sculptureB、may get solid shapes inside his headC、prefers
complexsculptureD、feels shape simply as shape34. The underlined
phrase "the
literary idea" (paragraph 3) can best be replaced by ______.
A、the
imagination B、the implicationC、the simple fact D、the natural law
35. According to the
writer, the
sculptor can
actually _______.A、get the solid shape in his head B、put the solid shape in his hand
C、
perceivedescription as shape D、fell shape simply as shape第二部分 非选择题 (共50分)
