第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
Our surroundings are being polluted faster than nature and man’s present efforts can’t prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities and the growing use of man-made materials.
What can explain to solve this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man——by his desire for a modern way of life. We make “increasing industrialization” our chief aim. So w e are often ready to offer everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for the benefits of our modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem.
Isn’t it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going and why? It makes one think of the story about the airline pilot who told his passengers over the lou dspeaker. “I’ve some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we’re making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we’re lost and don’t know where we’re going.” The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when spoken of our modern society.

42. People crowd into the cities for_____
A. they want very much to find well-paid jobs

D. they have a strong wish to become industrial workers
43. According to the passage, what does man value most among the following?

44. The story about the airline pilot tells us that ______.
A. man knows where the society is going

C. man can do little about the problem of our society

B
Without the atmosphere there would be no weather, no wind, rain, snow, or clouds. Air is all around us; we live in the bottom of a great ocean of air. It is invisible, but we can feel it when it moves. There are miles of air above us, pressing down with great weight on the earth and everything on it. Because air presses down on us from all directions at the same time, and because we are able to bear（忍受）this weight, we do not seem to feel it. But scientists have proved that air has this weight, and that anything that has weight creates a force called pressure. As changes in air pressure take place, they make air move.
Air is a gas that expands（膨胀）when heated, gets lighter, and moves upward. When air is cooled , it gets heavier, sinks close to the earth’s surface, and flows like water in a great river. As warm air rises, cold air rushes in to take its place. Thus winds originate（起源）. The。
