If this view is correct and the world's temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be under water.
Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth's temperature—a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. At present we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report prepared by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very likely). Perhaps, if we are very lucky, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world's temperature will stay about the same as it is now.
As is pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution ______.
A．caused widespread damage in the countryside
B．affected the entire eastern half of the United States
C．had damaging effects on health
D．existed merely in urban and industrial areas

The biggest problem facing Chile as it promotes itself as a tourist desti
nation is that it is at the end of the earth. It is too far southern to be a 【M1】______
convenient stop on the way to anywhere else and is much further than a 【M2】______
relatively cheap half-day's flight away from the big tourist markets. Chile,
therefore, is having to fight hard to attract tourists, to convince travelers
that it is worthwhile coming halfway round the world to visit. 【M3】______
Like all South American countriss, Chile sees to urism as a valuable
earner of foreign currency, although it has been far more serious than most
in promoting its image abroad. Relatively stable political within the region, 【M4】______
it has benefited from the problems suffering in other areas. In Peru, 【M5】______
guerrilla war in recent years has dealt a heavy blow to the tourist industry and 【M6】______
fear of street crime in Brazil has reduced the attraction of Rio de Janeiro as
a dream destination for foreigners.
More than 150,000 people are directly involved in Chile's tourist
sector, an industry which earns the country more than $ 950 million each
year. The state-run National Tourism Service, in partner with a number of 【M7】______
private companies, is currently running a worldwide campaign, takes part 【M8】______
in trade fairs and international events to attract visitors to Chile. Chile's
great strength as a tourist destination is its geographical diversity. From the
parching Atacama Desert in the north to the Antarctic snowfields of the 【M9】______
south, it is more than 5000km long. With the Pacific on one side and the
Andean mountains on the other, Chile boasts in natural attractions. Its 【M10】______
beaches are not up to Caribbean standards but resorts, such as Vina del Mar
are generally clean and unspoilt and have a high standard ofservice.

听力原文： Pulling heavy suitcases all day in the summer is hard work, especially when you're a thin 14-year-old. That was me in 1940 —the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York City's Pennsylvania Railway Station.
After just a few days on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers. I'd like to join them, thinking, "Everyone else is doing it."
When I got home that night, I told my dad what I wanted to do. "You give an honest day's work," he said, looking at me straight in the eye. "They're paying you. If they want to do that, you let them do that."
I followed my dad's advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since. Of all the jobs I've had. it was my experience at Pennsylvania Railway Station that has stuck with me. Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possessions. Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience. If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone. I can put up with many things, but not with people who steal. If one of my players were caught stealing, he'd be gone.
Whether you're on a sports team, in an office or a member of a family, if you can't trust one another, there's going to be trouble.

A．They were all thin, young boys.
B．They were all from poor families.
C．Many of them earned money in a dishonest way.
D．They could earn much, but they had to work hard.

Health
Health could be defined theoretically in terms of certain measured values; for example, a person having normal body temperature, pulse and breathing rates, blood pressure, height, weight, acuity of vision, sensitivity of hearing, and other normal measurable characteristics might be termed healthy. But what does normal mean and how is it established？ It is well-known that if the temperatures are taken of a large number of active, presumably healthy, individuals the temperatures will all come close to 98.6°F(37℃). The great preponderance of these values will fall between 98.4°F and 98°F. Thus health could in part be defined as having a temperature within this narrow range. Similarly, a normal range can be established for pulse, blood pressure, and height. In some healthy individuals, however, the body temperature may range below 98.4°F or above 98.8°F. These low and high temperatures fall outside the limits defined above as normal and are instances of biological variability.
Health might better be defined as the ability to function effectively in complete harmony with one's environment. Implied in such a definition is the capability of meeting physically, emotionally, and mentally—the ordinary stresses of life. In this definition health is interpreted in terms of the individual's environment. Health to the construction worker would have a dimension different from health to the bookkeeper. The healthy construction worker expects to be able to do manual labour all day, while the bookkeeper, although perfectly capable of performing his own sedentary work, would be totally incapable of such heavy labour and indeed might collapse from the physical strain; yet both individuals might be termed completely healthy in terms of their own way of life.
The term physical fitness, although frequently used, is also exceedingly difficult to define. In general it refers to the state of optimal maintenance of muscular strength, proper function of the internal organs, and youthful vigour. The champion athlete prepared to cope not only with the commonplace stresses of life but also with the unusual illustrates the concept of physical fitness. To be in good physical condition is to have the ability to swim a mile to save one's life or to slog home through snow drifts when a car breaks down in a storm. Some experts in fitness insist that the state of health requires that the individual be in prime physical condition. They prefer to divide the spectrum of health and disease into (1) health, (2) absence of disease, and (3) disease. In their view, those who are not in prime condition and are not physically fit cannot be considered as healthy merely because they have no disease.
Healthy involves more than physical fitness, since it also implies mental and emotional well-being. Should the angry, frustrated, emotionally unstable person in excellent physical condition be called healthy？ Certainly he could not be characterized as effectively functioning in complete harmony with his environment. Indeed, such an individual is incapable of good judgment and rational response. Health, then, is not merely the absence of illness or disease but involves the ability to function in harmony with one's environment and to meet the usual and sometimes unusual demands of daily life.
The definitions of illness and disease are equally difficult problems. Despite the fact that these terms are often used interchangeably, illness is not to be equated with disease. A person may have a disease for many years without even being aware of its presence. Although he is diseased, he is not iii. Similarly, the diabetic person who has known disease and has received adequate insulin treatment is not ill. The cancer victim is often totally unaware of his disorder and is not ill until after long years of growth of the turnout, during which time it causes no symptoms. The term illness implies discomfort or

第9题
It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel, his car becomes the extension of his personality, which often undoubtedly brings out a man's very worst qualities. Normally quiet and pleasant people may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering wheel. They swear; they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and utterly selfish. All their hidden frustrations, disappointments and jealousies seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving.
The surprising thing is that society smiles on the motorist and seems to tolerate his behaviour. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; and the mass annual death becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be conveniently forgotten.
It is high time a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are extremely loose and even the strictest are not strict enough. A code which was universally accepted could only have a dramatically beneficial effect on the accident rate.
Here are a few examples that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through annual tests for safety. Present drinking and driving laws should be made much stricter. Maximum and minimum speed limits should be imposed on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specifications for manufacturers, as has been done in the U.S.A. All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned. These measures may sound terribly harsh. But remember: The world is for human beings, not motorcars.
The main idea of this passage is ______.
A．traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists
B．thousands of people the world over are killed each year
C．the laws of some countries about driving are too loose
D．stricter traffic laws should be made to prevent accidents
第10题
In the last decade or two we have seen movements toward equality as well as defiance of authority. Jeans, now worn by everybody, can be said to symbolize these changes for the better. In the past, only men wore jeans, and these men were at the bottom—socially and economically. Jeans were worn by truck drivers, farm and factory workers. Today, jeans no longer are looked down upon. They are worn by both men and women, by both skilled and unskilled workers, by both employees and employers. This common way of dressing symbolizes respect for individuality, no matter what your occupation or sex. In the fight against authority, young people have been the leaders. So it is natural that teenagers would defy parents and school administrators over the right to wear jeans to class and win. Jeans are the typical dress of civil rights marchers, fans at rock concerts, "hippies" returning to nature, and serious college students.
Because everyone can be comfortable in them, the blue jeans invented for the use of workers are now accepted almost anywhere, anytime. This is true not only in the United States, but in many other countries in the world. I strongly agree with the following statement: "Old or new, glorified or plain, jeans are likely to be around for a long time to come. Already they have succeeded where statesmanship has failed. Although unable to speak the same language, the inhabitants of this embattled planet have at least agreed to wear the same pants."
Jeans, originally designed by Levi Strauss, ________.
A．have become a symbol of the fashionable class
B．have come to symbolize changes in social attitude
C．are suitable wear for rough work only
D．are no longer so popular as they used to be
