They have developed a hit list of our main fears: natural resources are 1 out? The population is ever growing, leaving less and less to eat? Species a
3、re becoming 2 in vast numbers, and the planets air and water are becoming ever more polluted.But a quick look at the facts shows a different picture. First, energy and other natural resources have become more 3 not less so, since the book The Limits to Growth was published in 1972 by a group of scie
4、ntists. Second, more food is now produced per 4 of the worlds population than at any time in history. Fewer people are 5 . Third, although species are indeed becoming extinct, only about 0.7% of them are expected to disappear in the next 50 years, not 2550%, as has so often been 6 . And finally, mos

A bigger problem may well turn out to be an inappropriate response to it.Yet opinion polls suggest that many people nurture the belief that environmental standards

8、sistThe typical pre-industrial family not only had a good many children, but numerous other dependents as well-grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins. Such extended families were suited for survival in slow paced 11 societies. But such families are hard to 12 . They are immobile.Industrialism deman
9、ded masses of workers ready and able to move off the land in pursuit of jobs, and to move again whenever necessary. Thus the extended family 13 shed its excess weight and the so-called nuclear family emerged-a stripped-down, portable family unit 14 only of parents and a small set of children. This n
10、ew style family, far more 15 than the traditional extended family, became the standard model in all the industrial counties.Super-industrialism, however, the next stage of eco-technological development, 16 even higher mobility. Thus we may expect many among the people of the future to carry the stre
11、amlining process, a stepfather by remaining children, cutting the family down to its more 17 components, a man and a woman. Two people, perhaps with matched careers, will prove more efficient at navigating through education and social status, through job changes and geographic relocations, than the
12、ordinarily child-cluttered family.A 18 may be the postponement of children, rather than childlessness. Men and women today are often torn in 19 between a commitment to career and a commitment to children. In the future, many 20 will sidestep this problem by deferring the entire task of raising child

Despite having a brain no big

Recently it was shown that they could be trained to be as accurate as humans at detecting breast cancer in images.Rats are often 25 with spreading disease rather than 26 it, but this long-tailed animal is highly 27 .

As a result, some rats are being put to work to detect TB. When the rats detect the smell, they stop and rub their legs to 29 a sample

I have sought of love, first, because it brings ecstasy-ecstasy so great because I
19、 would often have _2_sacrificed all the rest of my life for a few hours for this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness-that terrible loneliness which one shivering consciousness _3_looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, then
20、, because in the _4_union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven where saints and poets _5_have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what-at last-i have found.With equal passionate I have sought knowledge
21、. I have wished _6_to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine.A little this, but not much, I have achieved. _7_Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But it always pity brought _8_me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reve
22、rberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people-a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty and pain make a mock of what _9_human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer. This has been my l
23、ife. I have found it worth of living, and would gladly live it again if the chance _10_were offered me.Passage TwoSince 1965, when is equipment became operational, a device called Eros has been helped to make sky traffic_11_safe. Eros is short for Eliminate Range Zero Systemrange zero meaning collis
24、ion. Basically Eros is a computer system measures, with great speed and precision, closing_12_speed ( the speed at which two objects are approaching each other ) and range (the distance apart of the objects ).Eros can warn aircraft approachable each other at jet_13_speeds and can provide protection
25、for as many as a thousand aircraft in wide area. The pilot of an Erosequipped aircraft heading for a collision hear a warning noise in his earphones_14_when his airborne computer calculates that he is within thirty seconds or half a mile ( whichever occurs first ) of other aircraft._15_At the same t
26、ime, a flashing red arrow on the devices indicator panel instructs him to descend. Simultaneously, in the other aircraft, the signal is automatically reversed: the flashing arrow tells the pilot to climb. The newer Eros II system can accommodate a total of two thousand aircraft at one time within a
27、140mile radius. Every three seconds, each Erosequipped plane automatically reports to ground stations and to similarly equipped aircraft its precise range, altitude and approach rate. The producers of Eros, the McDonnell Dougals Corporation in the U.S., are now studying the fitting of Eros and will
28、do more make the sky safer: they will also lighten the work of airtraffic controllers and increase the efficiency of airports.三、Sentence Completion 完成句子（根据提供的词，用合适的形式完成句子） （15题，每题2分，共30分）1.

33、0分）Passage One To understand the marketing concept, it is only necessary to understand the difference between marketing and selling. Not too many years ago, most industries concentrated primarily on the efficient production of goods, and then relied on persuasive salesmanship to move as much of thes
34、e goods as possible. Such production and selling focuses on the needs of the seller to produce goods and then convert them into money.Marketing, on the other hand focuses on the wants of consumers. It begins with first analyzing the preferences and demands of consumers and then producing goods that
35、will satisfy them. This eye-on-the-consumer approach is known as the marketing concept which simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce or buy for resale, the makers and dealers first endeavor to find out what the consumer wants to buy and then go about making it avai
36、lable for purchase.This concept does not imply that business is benevolent or that consumer satisfaction is given priority over profit in a company. There are always two sides to every business transaction-the firm and the customer-and each must be satisfied before trade occurs. Successful merchants
37、 and producers, however, recognize that the surest route to profit is through understanding and catering to customers. A striking example of the importance of catering to the consumer presented itself in mid-1985, when Coca Cola changed the flavor of its drink. The nonacceptance of the new flavor by
38、 a significant portion of the public brought about a prompt restoration of the Classic Coke, which was then marketed alongside the new. King Customer ruled!1.The marketing concept discussed in the passage is, in essenceA) a form of persuasive salesmanship.B) the customer-centred approach.C) making g
39、oods available for purchase.D) the practice of turning goods into money.2.What was the main concern of industrialists before the marketing concept was widely accepted?A) The needs of the market.B) The preferences of the dealer,C) The efficiency of production.D) The satisfaction of the user.3. Accord
40、ing to the passage, to move as much of these goods as possible(Line 3, Para.l) meansA) to redesign these goods for large-scale production.H) to transport goods as efficiently as possible.C) to sell the largest possible amount of goods.D) to dispose of these goods in large quantities.4.What does the
41、restoration of the Classic Coke best illustrate?A) Products must be designed to suit the taste of the consumer.B) Consumers with conservative tastes are often difficult to please.C) It takes time for a new product to be accepted by the public.D) Traditional goods have a stronger appeal to the majori
42、ty of people.5. In discussing the marketing concept, the author focuses on A) its social impact.B) its theoretical basis.C) its possible consequence.D) its main characteristic.Passage Two The majority of successful senior managers do not closely follow the classical rational model of first clarifyin
43、g goals, assessing the problem, formulating options, estimating likelihoods of success, making a decision, and only then taking action to implement the decision. Rather, in their day-by-day tactical maneuvers, these senior executives rely on what is vaguely termed intuition to manage a network of in
44、terrelated problems that require them to deal with ambiguity, inconsistency, novelty, and surprise; and to integrate action into the process of thinking.Generations of writers on management have recognized that some practicing managers rely heavily on intuition. In general, however, such writers dis
45、play a poor grasp of what intuition is. Some see it as the opposite of rationality; others view it as an excuse for capriciousness.Isenbergs recent research on the cognitive processes of senior managers reveals that managers intuition is neither of these. Rather, senior managers use intuition in at
46、least five distinct ways. First, they intuitively sense when a problem exists. Second, managers rely on intuition to perform well-learned behavior patterns rapidly. This intuition is not arbitrary or irrational, but is based on years of painstaking practice and hands-on experience that build skills.
47、 A third function of intuition is to synthesize isolated bits of data and practice into an integrated picture, often in an Aha! experience. Fourth, some managers use intuition as a check on the results of more rational analysis. Most senior executives are familiar with the formal decision analysis m
48、odels and tools, and those who use such systematic methods for reaching decisions are occasionally leery of solutions suggested by these methods which run counter to their sense of the correct course of action. Finally, managers can use intuition to bypass in-depth analysis and move rapidly to engender a plausi
