It is interesting to compare it with modem air travel today. Early that morning, a young Frenchman, Jean-Pierre Blanchard, and an American, Dr. John Jeffries, prepared themselves and their balloon for the trip. They wanted to cross the English Channel from Dover to the French side. The Channel is about forty kilometres across at this point. Nobody had ever travelled so far in a balloon before.A crowd had come to watch the start. Blanchard and Jeffries were rather afraid of the excited people. In those days, crowds often became so angry when they were disappointed by balloons. If something went wrong, and the balloon did not rise, into the sky, they might even tear it to pieces.That morning, however, the crowd cheered and clapped. The huge green and yellow balloon rose high into the cold winter sky. The wind began to blow it, and Blanchard and Jeffries, towards the French coast. At first, everything went well. But half way across, the balloon suddenly began to go down towards the water. Blanchard and Jeffries did everything they could to lighten the load. They threw all sorts of things offboard, But still the balloon continued to go towards the water. Soon the waves were almost touching the basket in which the two men were travelling. They even began to throw off their clothes in order to make the balloon lighter. Then, suddenly, the balloon began to rise again. Two hours later they reached the French coast but they were then half-naked and very cold! Blanchard brought the balloon to earth by grabbing the branch of a tree.. The trip had not been very comfortable but it gave a clear sign: man had a future in the air.31. The balloon trip Jeffries and Blanchard made is important because__________A. two men had never traveled in a balloon together beforeB. others had crossed from France to England but never from England to FranceC. nobody had ever travelled so far in a balloon beforeD. the two men proved that you could lighten the load by throwing things offboard32. Before they went up the two men were afraid that__________A. the crowd might tear the balloon to pieces if they were disappointedB. the balloon itself might be too heavyC. their clothes might not be warm enough for the tripD. the crowd might become frightened when they saw the balloon rise33. Blanchard and Jeffries were the first__________the Channel in a balloon.A. which crossedB. who crossedC. that crossedD. to cross34. To grab means to__________A. get hold ofB. cutC. burnD. push aside35. Which of the following statements is true?A. The two travellers were very happy and excited when they saw the crowd.B. The balloon nearly went down into the water half way during the trip.C. They threw away their food to lighten the load but kept their clothes on.D. The two men found the trip quite comfortable by the end of it.Passage 2The next day, Bob insisted that he should do the cooking for a change. He had always fancied himself as a cook and never failed to remind his wife, Susan, of the grand parties he had had before they married. How was it, Bob would ask, that in those days he had managed to feed as many as twenty people. Susan, however, had other ideas. She remembered Bob's parties well-- especially the kitchen which, when the party was over, looked as though it had been hit by a hurricane. But Bob was so insistent, that in the end Susan reluctantly agreed to let him have a free hand.Susan determined to make the most of the situation and went into the parlour to read. She had no sooner settled down, than Bob began calling her from the kitchen. Having expected this would happen, she smiled to herself and continued to read. Bob shouted louder than ever and seeing that there was no response, he finally came into the parlour himself, obviously in an agitated state. How could he possibly work with no equipment, he demanded. He could not find bowls, cups, dishes, or even a single spoon. What he had thought was flour turned out to be icing-sugar and there was not a pinch of salt in the whole house. Susan calmly told him where everything was and Bob rushed back only to find thatthe milk had boiled over. He mopped the mess up hastily and set to work. In no time, nearly everything that had been in the side-board and in the pantry was splendidly arrayed before him on the kitchen table. Now he could really begin, he thought.About two hours passed and Susan could not understand why things were so quiet. Bob must be managing after all! The smell of something burning quickly proved her wrong and caused her to drop her book and dash to the kitchen. Thick smoke greeted her when she opened the door. She could dimly make out the figure of Bob trying to extract something from the oven and burning himself in the process. Bob produced a blackened object, quickly dropped it into the sink and turned on the tap. His cake was a little over-done, he explained but otherwise all right. Apart from this, he had put sugar into the stew instead of salt, but he did not think it would do the stew any harm. When the smoke cleared, Susan saw, to her horror, that her once spotless kitchen now resembled a battlefield!36. Susan__________A. was glad Bob would do the cookingB. didn't trust Bob to do the cookingC. had a high opinion of Bob's cookingD. suggested Bob should do the cooking37. What does it mean to "let him have a free hand" (1. 7)?A. to find someone to help himB. to help him herselfC. to let him do as he likesD. to prepare everything for him38.

Write the letter corresponding to your choice on the answer sheet (2 points each, 20 points in all)Passage 1Friendship and friends continue to remain central to our lives. The relationship that we share with our friends is grounded in a mutual concern as our friends help us in shaping up our personalities as well. Even in this age of online social networking, the need of expanding the network of friends, whether online or offline remains a primary concern for people. We may have a very vague understanding of what makes a friend but we all want to have a good many friends around us.Research has shown that the quality and nature of your friends are one of the key influencing factors in achieving happiness and satisfaction. Friends often affect the health and energy of a person as well. More and more people are increasingly turning towards their friends for support and mutual sharing rather than communicating to their relatives; this sociological phenomenon has escalated the desire to make more friends. Though friendship is a relationship developed between two individuals marked by a voluntary, emotional and mutual concern, there are certain steps, which, if followed, can win you friends or at least help you get close to those whom you want to make friends with.The first step to make friends with someone is to make them like you. If they don’t like you in the first place, it is unlikely that they’ll be eager to become your friends. To let someone know that you are genuinely interested in them, simple gestures like a little smile and calling him by his first name can lay the basic foundation. To make the other person feel important you need to be a good listener and encourage the other person to talk. Give your honest and sincere opinion but do not overtly criticize or make fun of him or her.The second step of making someone your friend is to develop a mutual consideration between each other. Y ou need to share his or her perspective and for that it is necessary for you to develop a tendency to see things from the other person’s point of view. To become best of friends you must show a genuine concern and consideration for your f riend’s desires and opinions.The third and final step towards friendship is to show your unconditional support and encouragement towards your第 5 页friend. Moreover, you also need to be very clear about your expectations from your friend. If what you expect from the person you want to befriend matches with what that person can and want to contribute in friendship, the developing friendship between you and your friend is assured to grow, making both of you gratified with mutual emotional bonding.Friendship has o verwhelming significance on both social and individual levels. Friendship doesn’t only provide us with emotional as well as practical support but it also helps us improve our personal identities. So it is quite natural to feel the urge to reach out and mak e new friends, expanding your friend’s circle. F riendship remains familiar yet quite ambiguous (模糊的) for our deeper understanding, but then again, friends remain the most important ingredients in the recipe of life!41. The relationship between friends is based on ______.A. the social networking around friendsB. friends’ caring and helping each otherC. the style friends choose to communicateD. an unclear understanding of what makes a friend42. Which of the following statements has been proved correct?A. The better quality your friends have, the happier you will be.B. Communication with friends is healthier than that with relatives.C. The more friends you have, the more satisfied you are with yourself.D. Those you like in the first place are more likely to become your friends.43. The word “escalated”in the second paragraph probably means ______.A. intensifiedB. challengedC. shiftedD. resisted44. It can be inferred from the first suggested step that ______ is NOT likely to win you friends.A. making others talkB. being very talkativeC. telling people you like themD. addressing others in an informal way45. What structure does the author use to organize this passage?A. Effect- cause.B. Comparison- contrast.C. General- specific- general.D. Definition - explanation - example.Passage 2Every single student that applies for a class or course online has certain expectations and they are often extremely high. Unfortunately for most individuals, they will be disappointed. It is a fact that the majority of individuals believe that they will actually enjoy every aspect of their course. The truth is that there is very little in a degree to inspire until an individual actually completes the course and is awarded the degree or certificate that could change his or her life. This is no different with an online education and, in fact, the disappointment may be more obvious because they may face extra difficulties in an online course.Online education expectations are often incredibly high, as previously stated, in terms of what an individual can get第 6 页from it as well as the manageability of the content itself. However, although an individual will ultimately be proven right about what he or she can get from it, this will not be the case for manageability. Most online education courses are anything but manageable for those who decide to take them. The level of work would be the same as any other degree or qualification course, but an individual is expected to manage it on his or her own instead of having a tutor or lecturer ther e to remind him or her about assignments and deadlines. Time management is extremely important, but the nature of these individuals’ life often makes it impossible to manage without feeling the stresses and strains of the burden.It is important to be realistic with your expectations concerning an online education course, but many are completely unrealistic. If you read any of the accounts from students that have already taken and may have even passed an online education course, many will speak in glowing terms; but you should also read between the lines.They claim that their expectations will ultimately be fulfilled in terms of the long-term benefits. However, in the short term they may say they found it difficult to cope with the workload, the lack of time that they actually had to complete it, an unsupportive employer and so on. This last point may not be an issue if you are doing it to advance yourself within your current workplace, but there will otherwise be some sort of resentment bubbling under the surface and that can indeed make your life a misery for a little while. If you expect it and prepare for it then it should not bother you too much, and if the resentment does not come then so much the better!In terms of your own expectations, the best attitude to have is not to go in with any at all. If you do not expect anything then you may be pleasantly surprised. It can be difficult to fit an online education in with personal commitments, such as a family to look after or a job to go to every day whilst trying to study. It does take a lot of effort, but if you do not expect it to be easy or expect that you will just be able to do it without the balance of your life being upset as a result, then you will probably find that you do get a sense of satisfaction from it! Similarly, if you expect the worst then you will probably be pleasantly surprised! Managing your expectations can be difficult, but do not let them get the better of you !46. The manageability is more difficult in online courses than in any other course because ______.A. online courses require higher level of workB. online courses bring much more assignmentsC. online course takers have no way to contact their lecturersD. online course takers have to rely on themselves for management47. According to the passage, one may not have the problem of an unsupportive employer if ______.A. he is fully prepared to deal with any resentment from his bossB. his online education will be beneficial to his current workplaceC. his expectations will be fulfilled in the form of long-term benefitsD. he can discuss the issue width his boss openly and bravely on the table48. According to the writer of this passage, one’s satisfaction in online education might come from ______.A. high expectationsB. diligent effortsC. a realistic attitudeD. a proper balance第 7 页49. In the last sentence of this passage, the phrase “get the better of you”probably means “______”.A. make a fool of youB. take advantage of youC. get too fancy for you to imagineD. become too high for you to control50. This passage is written mainly for the purpose of ______.A. inspiring its readers to fulfill their expectations through hard workB. persuading its readers to be more practical with their personal commitmentsC. informing its readers about the disadvantages of the courses they take onlineD. preparing its readers for the hardships they may encounter in online educationV.

全国2010年4月高等教育自学考试英语阅读(一)试题I. CAREFUL READINGRead the following passages carefully. Decide on the best answer and write the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points, 2 points each)Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.A head track coach, Bill Bowerman, designed a pair of lighter shoes with better support and greater strength and sent the design to leading sporting-goods companies. They all turned him down.The rejections brought Bowerman face to face with his own philosophy of“competitive response.”He had taught his sportsmen to value competition not so much for its prizes as for its intellectual and spiritual satisfaction. This was true of his determination to make the shoes himself.He made his first pair of track shoes light and graceful. His runners won in his hand-made shoes. But who would like to manufacture such shoes?In 1962, Knight, one of Bowerman’s sportsmen, offered to travel to Japan and called on one of Japan’s best manufacturers of sports shoes. The manufacturer promised to produce shoes of his design and Knight’s company would be their only distributor in the U.S. A year later, a shipment of 200 Bowerman shoes arrived in Oregon.At first, Knight and Bowerman worked with a small team and went selling out of cars at track meets. But slowly, the running world got to know the secret of their product.Then in 1972, the Japanese company cut off all supplies to their company and established a separate distribution network in the U.S. In 30 days Knight succeeded in finding a new manufacturer. And today the company takes the largest share in the shoe business. You ask me the brand name of the shoes? It’s Nike, named after the Greek Goddess of Victory.Bowerman, Knight and the Nike team have a firm belief that a shared responsibility requires outstanding individual performance and a willingness to contribute that performance to the group.1. The new track shoes designed by Bowerman ______.A. helped develop his team’s athletic skillsB. helped improve his runners’ performanceC. opened up the Japanese sports shoes marketD. opened up the American sports shoes market2. Bowerman’s response to competition is related to sportsmen’s ______.A. team spiritB. spiritual needsC. material rewardsD. prize winning3. According to the passage, Bowerman shoes were first sold by ______.A. the shoe manufacturer in JapanB. Knight, Bowerman and their teamC. a leading sporting-goods company in JapanD. a leading sporting-goods company in America4. The difficulty Knight ran into in 1972 arose from ______.A. the rejection of the shoe designB. the quality problem of the shoesC. the competition from other companiesD. the Japanese company’s new decision5. The success of the Nike team lies in ______.A. the manufacturer’s philosophyB. the fashionable design of the shoesC. their cooperation with a foreign companyD. their individual performance and teamworkPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.Seventeenth-century houses in colonial North America were simple structures that were primarily functional, carrying over traditional designs that went back to the Middle Ages. During the first half of the eighteenth century, however, houses began to show a new elegance. As wealth increased, more and more colonists built fine houses.Since architecture was not yet a specialized profession in the colonies, the design of buildings was left to carpenters who undertook to interpret architectural manuals imported from England. There are an astonishing number of these handbooks for builders in colonial libraries, and the houses erected during the eighteenth century show their influence. Most domestic architecture of the first three-quarters of the eighteenth century displayed a wide range of taste and freedom of application of the rules laid down in these books.Increasing wealth throughout the colonies resulted in houses of improved design, whether the material was wood, stone or brick. New England still favored wood, though brick houses became common in Boston and other towns, where the danger of fire forced people to use more durable material. A few houses in New England were built of stone, but only in Pennsylvania and its neighboring areas was stone widely used in dwellings. An increased use of bricks is noticeable in Virginia and Maryland, but wood remained the most popular material even in houses built by wealthy landowners. In the Carolinas, even in the crowded town of Charleston, wooden houses were much more common than brick houses.Eighteenth-century houses showed great interior improvements over their predecessors. Windows were made larger and shutters removed. Large, clear panes replaced the gray glass of the seventeenth century. Doorways were larger and more decorative. Fireplaces became decorative features of rooms. Walls were sometimes elaborately decorated. White paint began to take the place of blue, yellow, green and gray colors, which had been popular for walls in the earlier years. After about 1730, advertisements for wallpaper styles in scenic patterns began to appear in colonial newspapers.6. The passage mainly discusses ______.A. the improved design of the 18th century colonial housesB. the role of carpenters in building the 18th century housesC. the varieties of decorations used in the 18th century housesD. a comparison of the 18th century houses and modern houses7. Those responsible for designing houses in the 18th century North America were ______.A. customersB. carpentersC. interior decoratorsD. professional architects8. Stones were commonly used to build houses in ______.A. VirginiaB. BostonC. CharlestonD. Pennsylvania9. The word“predecessors”(para. 4) refers to ______.A. colonists in the 17th centuryB. wooden houses in CharlestonC. houses before the 18th centuryD. interior improvements in houses10. It can be inferred from the 4th paragraph that before 1730 ______.A. patterned wallpaper was not widely usedB. pattemed wallpaper was not used in stone housesC. wallpaper samples could be found in librariesD. wallpaper was the same color as the wall paintsPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.The universities from which today’s univers ities are descendents were founded in the Middle Ages. They were established either by corporations of students wanting to learn, as in Italy, or by teachers wanting to teach, as in France. Corporations that had special legal or customary privileges for the purpose of carrying out the intentions of the incorporators were common in those days. The university corporations of the Middle Ages at the height of their power were not responsible to anybody, and could not be punished by any authorities. They claimed, and made good their claim, complete independence of all religious and nonreligious control. The American university was, however, at first a corporation formed by a religious group or by the state for the purposes of the group.The American university in the seventeenth century was much closer to the American university today than to the university in the Middle Ages. The Puritan communities needed ministers and professional men and so they established universities to provide them. Later, religious groups built universities in order to extend their own influence. For example, the University of Chicago was founded by devout (虔诚的) Baptists to combat the rising tide of Methodism in the Middle West and Shakers in the East. The president and the trustees of the University were required to have the proper religious relations in order to keep the University on the right path. Fortunately, the combination of John D, Rockefeller, William Rainey Harper, and the enlightened wing of the Baptist Church preserved the university from too narrow an interpretation of its purpose.11. French universities in the Middle Ages were founded by ______.A. the governmentB. groups of scholarsC. the Catholic ChurchD. students wanting to learn12. Puritans set up universities primarily for the purpose of ______.A. training school teachersB. influencing the governmentC. providing ministers and professionalsD. supplying professionals for corporations13. The University of Chicago was established by ______.A. ShakersB. PuritansC. MethodistsD. Baptists14. The writer mentions John D. Rockefeller and William Rainey Harper to show that ______.A. they were important founders of the universityB. they were extremely faithful in their religious beliefsC. they broadened the original goal of the universityD. they stuck to the founding principles of the university15. Early universities in the U.S. were founded mostly for ______.A. economic reasonsB. political reasonsC. religious purposesD. academic purposesPassage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the foliowing passage.If you are looking for an explanation of why we don’t get tou gh with criminals, you need only look at the numbers. Each year almost a third of the households in America are victims of violence or theft. This amounts to more than 41 million crimes, many more than we are able to punish. There are also too many crimina ls. We don’t have room for any more!The painful fact is that the more crime there is, the less we are able to punish it. We think that punishment prevents crime, but it just might be the other way around. When there is so much crime it is simply impossible to deal with it or punish it. This is the situation we find ourselves in today: the gradual increase in the criminal population has made it more difficult to get into prison. Some of the most exclusive prisons now require about five serious crimes before a criminal is accepted.These features show that it makes little sense to blame the police or judges for being soft on criminals. There is not much else they can do. The police can’t find most criminals and those they do find are difficult and costly to convict. Those convicted can’t all be sent to prison. The public demands that we do everything we can against crime. The practical reality is that there is very little the police, courts or prisons can do about the crime problem.We could, of course, get tough with the people we already have in prison and keep them locked up for longer periods of time. Yet when measured against the lower crime rates this would probably produce, longer prison sentences are not worth the cost to states and local governments. Besides, those states that have tried to gain voters’approval for building new prisons often discover that the public is unwilling to pay for prison constructions. And if it were willing to pay,long prison sentences may not be effective in reducing crime.More time spent in prison is also more expensive. The best estimates are that it costs an average of $13,000 to keep a person in prison for one year. If we had a place to keep the 124,000 released prisoners, it would have cost us $1.6 billion to prevent 15,000 crimes. This works out to more than $100,000 per crime prevented. But there is more. With the average cost of prison construction running around $50,000 per bed, it would cost more than $6 billion to build the necessary cells. The first-year operating cost would be $150,000 per crime prevented, worth it ifthe victim were you or me, but much too expensive to be feasible as a national policy.Faced with the reality of the numbers, I will not be so foolish as to suggest a solution to the crime problem. My contribution to the public debate begins and ends with this simple observation: getting tough with criminals is not the answer.16. By saying“it just might be the other way around”(para. 2), the writer means ______.A. severe punishment lowers crime ratesB. soft measures lead to the rise of crime ratesC. easy policies are more effective than strict onesD. the increase in crime makes punishment difficult17. It is wrong to blame the police or judges for not being hard on criminals partly because ______.A. trials are expensiveB. criminals are very dangerousC. the police force is weakD. the public fill to support the court18. The cost for constructing prisons is ______.A. $13,000 per bedB. $50,000 per bedC. $100,000 per bedD. $150,000 per bed19. The writer of the passage bases his argument mainly upon ______.A. statistical evidenceB. public opinionsC. criminal psychologyD. personal experience20. The tone of the passage isA. playfulB. seriousC. satiricalD. angryII. SPEED READINGSkim or scan the following passages, and then decide on the best answer and write the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points, 1 point each)Passage 5Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Joyce Carol Oates published her first collection of short stories, By the North Gate, in 1963, two years after she had received her master’s degree from the University of Wisconsin and became an instructor of English at the University of Detroit. Her productivity since then has been tremendous, accumulating in less than two decades up to nearly thirty titles, including novels, collections of short stories and verse, plays, and literary criticism. In the meantime, she has continued to teach, moving in 1967 from the University of Detroit to the University of Windsor in Ontario, and in 1978, to Princeton University. Reviewers have admired her enormous energy, but they also find such a large body of writing very amazing.In a period characterized by the abandonment of so much of the realistic tradition by authors such as John Barth, Donald Barthelme, and Thomas Pynchon, Joyce Carol Oates has seemed at times determinedly old-fashioned in her insistence on depicting the world as it is. Hers is a world of violence, insanity, fractured love, and hopeless loneliness. Although some of it appears to come from her personal observations, her dreams and her fears, much more is clearly from the experiences of others. Her first novel, With Shuddering Fall (1964), dealt with stock ear racing, though she had neverseen a race. In Them (1964) she focused on Detroit from the Depression through the riots of 1967, drawing much of her material from the deep impression made on her by the problems of one of her students. Whatever the source is and however shocking the events or the motivations are, her fictional world nonetheless remains strikingly related to that real one reflected in the daily newspapers, the television news, talk shows and the popular magazines of our day.21. The passage is mainly an introduction to Oates’s ______.A. careerB. childhoodC. By the North GateD. contemporary writers22. The passage tells us that Joyce Carol Oates’s first publication was ______.A. unsuccessfulB. published in 1965C. a volume of short fictionsD. about an English instructor23. The most striking feature of Joyce Carol Oates’s work is her ______.A. realismB. radicalismC. imaginationD. conservatism24. The subject of Joyce Carol Oates’s first novel is ______.A. teachingB. lonelinessC. car racingD. hopelessness25. The author mentions Oates’s book Them because it is ______.A. an autobiographyB. her best piece of nonfictionC. a typical novel of the 1960sD. not based on her experiencesPassage 6Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Cliff House has gone through five major constructions and reconstructions since its beginning in 1858. That year, Samuel Brannan, a prosperous man from Maine, bought for $1,500 the lumber from a ship that wrecked on the cliffs below. With this material he built the first Cliff House. The second Cliff House was built for Captain Junius G. Foster, but as it was a long difficult trip from the city, the house hosted mostly horseback riders, small game hunters or picnickers on day outings. With the opening of a toll road a year later, the Cliff House became successful with the Carriage trade for Sunday travel. On weekends, there was little room at the Cliff House for horses and carriages. Soon, omnibus railways and streetcar lines made it to near Lone Mountain where passengers transferred to stagecoach lines to the beach. The growth of Golden Gate Park attracted beach travelers in search of meals and a look at the Sea Lions sunning themselves on Seal Rock, just off the cliffs to visit the area.In 1877, the toll road, now Geary Boulevard, was purchased by the City of San Francisco for around $25,000. In 1883, after a few years of downturn, the Cliff House was bought by Adolph Sutro, a multimillionaire who made his fortune from mining. After a few years of quiet management by J. M. Wilkens, the Cliff House was severely damaged by an explosion of the ship, which destroyed the northern part of the house. Seven years later, on Christmas 1894 the repaired old building burned down.In 1896, Adolph Sutro built a new Cliff House, a seven-story Victorian style castle, called by some“the Gingerbread Palace.”In the same year, work began on the famous Sutro Baths, which included six of the largest indoor swimming poolsnorth of the restaurant that included a museum, a skating rink and other pleasure grounds. Great throngs of San Franciscans arrived on steam trains, bicycles, carts and horse wagons on Sunday excursions.The Cliff House and Sutro Baths survived the 1906 earthquake with little damage but burned to the ground on the evening of September 7, 1907. Rebuilding of the restaurant was completed within two years and, with additions and modern restorations, is the one seen today.The building was acquired by the National Park Service in 1977 and it became part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The site overlooks the Seal Rock and the former site of the Sutro Baths. More than thirty ships have been pounded to pieces on the southern shore of the Golden Gate below Cliff House.26. The story of Cliff House goes back to ______.A. 1858B. 1877C. 1894D. 190627. The second Cliff House was built for ______.A. J. M. WilkensB. Adolph SutroC. Samuel BrannanD. Junius G.Foster28.

(l0 points, 1 point each)I am speaking not as a Briton, not as a European, not as a member of a western democracy, (31) ______. The world is full of conflicts: Jews and Arabs; Indians and Pakistanis, white men and Negroes in Africa; and, overshadowing all minor conflicts, the titanic struggle between communism and anticommunism.Almost everybody who is politically conscious has strong feelings about one or more of these issues; but I want you, if you can, to set aside such feelings for the moment and consider yourself only as a member of a biological species (32) ______. I shall try to say no single word which should appeal to one group rather than to another. All, equally, are in peril, and, if the peril is understood, there is hope that they may collectively avert it. We have to learn to think in a new way. (33) ______, for there no longer are such steps. The question we have to ask ourselves is: (34) ______?The general public, and even many men in positions of authority, have not realized what would be involved in a war with hydrogen bombs. The general public still thinks in terms of the obliteration (灭迹,消灭) of cities. It is understood thatthe new bombs are more powerful than the old and that, while one atomic bomb could obliterate Hiroshima, (35) ______. No doubt in a hydrogen-bomb war great cities would be obliterated. But this is one of the minor disasters thatwould have to be faced. If everybody in London, New York, and Moscow were exterminated, the world might, in the course of a few centuries, recover from the blow. But we now know, especially since the Bikini test, that hydrogen bombs can gradually spread destruction over a much wider area than had been supposed. It is stated on very good authority that a bomb can now be manufactured (36) ______. Such a bomb, if exploded near the ground or under water, sends radioactive particles into the upper air. They sink gradually and reach the surface of the earth in the form of a deadly dust or rain. It was this dust which infected the Japanese fishermen and their catch of fish although they were outside what American experts believed to be the danger zone. No one knows how widely such lethal (杀伤性的) radioactive particles might be diffused, but the best authorities are unanimous in (37) ______. It is feared that if many hydrogen bombs are used, there might be universal death.Here, then, is the problem which I present to you, stark and dreadful and inescapable: (38) ______? People will not face this alternative because it is so difficult to abolish war. (39) ______. But what perhaps impedes understanding of the situation more than anything else is that the term “mankind”feels vague and abstract. People scarcely realize in imagination that the danger is to themselves and their children and their grandchildren, and not only to a dimly apprehended humanity. And so they hope that perhaps war may be allowed to continue provided modern weapons are prohibited. I am afraid this hope is illusory. Whatever agreements not to use hydrogen bombs had been reached in time of peace, they would no longer be considered binding in time of war, and both sides would set to work to manufacture hydrogen bombs (40) ______, for if one side manufactured the bombs and the other did not, the side that manufactured them would inevitably be victorious.(From Shall We Choose Death?)A. saying that a war with hydrogen bombs is quite likely to put an end to the human raceB. which will be 25,000 times as powerful as that which destroyed HiroshimaC. What steps can be taken to prevent a military contest of which the issue must be disastrous to all sidesD. The abolition of war will demand distasteful limitations of national sovereigntyE. Shall we choose death because we cannot forget our quarrelsE Shall we put an end to the human race or shall mankind renounce warG as soon as war broke outH. but as a human being, a member of the species Man, whose continued existence is in doubtI. one hydrogen bomb could obliterate the largest cities such as London, New York, and MoscowJ. which has had a remarkable history and whose disappearance none of us can desireK.
