PartⅢ Reading Comprehension
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.
Passage One
A useful definition of an air pollutant is a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely. Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous change. When the first air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled — a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today. As technology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened. In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions.
Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides, are found in
nature. As the Earth developed, the concentrations of these pollutants were altered by various chemical reactions; they **ponents in biogeochemical cycles. These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing **pounds to move from the air to the water or soil. On a global basis nature's output of **pounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities. However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city.
In this localized region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles. The result is an increased concentration of noxious (有毒的) chemicals in the air. The concentrations at which the adverse effects
appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities. The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area. For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level. Carbon monoxide, however, has natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm.
SSS_SINGLE_SEL
31.
The passage is mainly about ______.
A what constitutes an air pollutant
B the serious impact of air pollution
C how much harm air pollutants can cause
D the effects of compounds added to the atmosphere
该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2
答案:A
[解析] 本题是主旨题。

文中第一段讲述了人们对什么是空气污染物质的认识和理解一直在并且会继续发生变化。

第二段讲述了自然界存在的空气污染物质以及它们在控制空气污染中的作用和数量。

第三段讲述了在局部地区由于人的活动而产生的空气污染物的危害。

因此四个选项中能正确概括文章大意的是A选项。

SSS_SINGLE_SEL
32.
It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ______.
A water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas
B the definition of air pollution will continue to change
C most air pollutants today can be seen or smelled
D a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities
该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2
答案:B
[解析] 本题是推理题。

文中第一段提到Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous change，B选项是对此的同
义转述。

这段最后一句说even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions，因此水蒸气现在还没被当成污染物，A 选项错误。

原文是说第一部空气污染法在14世纪英格兰成立时空气污染物仅局限在能看到或闻到的物质，但现在a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today，a far cry意思是与现在大不相同，现在
是知道了大量的有害物质，因此C错误。

SSS_SINGLE_SEL
33.
Natural pollutants can play an important role in controlling air pollution because they ______.
A occur in greater quantities than other pollutants
B are less harmful to living beings than are other pollutants
C have existed since the Earth developed
D function as part of a purification process
该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2
答案:D
[解析] 本题是细节题。

原文说硫氧化物、一氧化碳和氮氧化物等自然界存在的空气污染物**ponents in biogeochemical cycles. These serve as an air purification scheme，所以D选项是正确答案。

A、B两选项原文未提及。

C选项不是它们能有助于控制空气污染的原因。

SSS_SINGLE_SEL
34.
According to the passage, which of the following is true about human-generated air pollution in localized regions?
A It can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants in the localized region.
B It can overwhelm the natural system that removes pollutants.
C It will react harmfully with naturally occurring pollutants.
D It will damage areas outside of the localized regions.
该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2
答案:B
[解析] 本题是细节题。

原文说在世界范围内nature's output of **pounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities，而在局部地区human output may be dominant，并且此处说的compounds指的是硫氧化物、一氧化碳和氮氧化物等自然界存在的污染物，而不是指所有的污染物，A选项错误。

原文说human output…may temporarily overload t he natural
purification scheme of the cycles，B选项为同义转述。

C和D选项原文未提及。

SSS_SINGLE_SEL
35.
According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance is only useful if ______.
A it is in a localized area
B the naturally occurring level is also known
C it can be calculated quickly
D the other substances in the area are known
该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2
答案:B
[解析] 本题是细节题。

原文最后一段提到the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area，B选项是对此的
同义转述。

题干中的only…if对应原文的until，B选项中的the naturally occurring level对应原文中的the concentration that would occur naturally。

A、C、D选项都不是使一种物质的集中程度数值有用的必要条件。

Passage Two
**panies need a way to reach the savings of the public at large. The same problem, on a smaller scale, faces practically **pany trying to develop new products and create new jobs. There can be little prospect of raising the sort of sum needed from friends and people we know. and while banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally unwilling to provide money on a permanent basis for long-term projects. So companies turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits. This they do by issuing stocks and shares in the business through the Stock Exchange. By doing so they can put into circulation the savings of individuals and institution, both at home and overseas.
When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to **pany with which he originally placed it. Instead, he sells his shares through a stockbroker (证券经纪人) to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money.
Many of the services need both by industry and by each of us are provided by the Government or by local authorities. Hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, equipment and new development, if they are to serve us properly, require more money than is raised through taxes alone. The government, local authorities, and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange.
There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose job or whose standard of living does not depend on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development. In one way or another this new money **e from the savings of the country. The Stock Exchange exists to provide a channel through which these savings can reach those who need finance.
SSS_SINGLE_SEL
36.
Almost **panies involved in new production and development must
______.
A borrow large sums of money from friends and people they know
B rely on their own financial resources
C depend on the population as a whole for finance
D persuade the banks to provide them with long-term finance
该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2
答案:C
[解析] 本题是细节题。

文中说大公司需要方法来得到大众的积蓄，而The same problem…faces practically **pany trying to develop new products and create new jobs，由此可知要开发新产品和项目的公司也必须依靠公众来集资。

所以C选项是正确答案。

A、D选项可直接排除；B选项根据原文提到公司都需要向大众集资来排除。

SSS_SINGLE_SEL
37.
The Stock Exchange makes it possible for the Government, local authorities and nationalized industries ______.
A to raise money to finance new development
B to borrow as much money as they wish
C to make certain everybody lend money to them
D to make certain everybody save money
该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2
答案:A
[解析] 本题是细节题。

文中第三段最后说The government，local authorities，and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending，and then **e to the Stock Exchange，A选项是对此的同义转述。

原文未说as much as they wish，故排除B选项。

C、D选项原文未提及。

SSS_SINGLE_SEL
38.
The money which enables **panies to go ahead with their projects is ______.
A exchanged for part ownership in the Stock Exchange
B rapid to its original owners as soon as possible
C invested in **panies on the Stock Exchange
D raised by the selling of shares in **panies
该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2
答案:D
[解析] 本题是细节题。

文中第一段说So companies turn to the public，inviting people to lend them money，or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits，因此公司是通过发行股票卖给人们来筹集进行新项目所需要的资金的。

所以D选项是正确答案。

A、B、C选
项原文都未提及。

SSS_SINGLE_SEL
39.

D in constant need of financial support
该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2
答案:D
[解析] 本题是细节题。

原文说Hospitals…require more money than is raised through taxes None，排除A选项。

除了政府和当局，文中还提到了国有企业，因此不能说所有的基本服务都是由政府和当局提供的，排除B选项。

C 选项原文未提及，并且不合理。

文中说The government，local
authorities，and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending…，所以D选项是正确答案。

Passage Three
By the time the Olympics begin in Atlanta this summer, the business world will have spent more than $1 billion to link their names and products to the Olympic Games. There are 10 Worldwide Sponsors, 10 Centennial Olympic Partners, about 20 regular sponsors and more than a hundred licensees (领有执照者). The Atlanta Games will boast an "official" timepiece (clock), two official game shows, and two
official vehicles: a family car, and a luxury sedan (轿车). But what exactly do **panies reap for their huge investment? At the very least, **mand tickets to the most popular events, invitations to the best parties and prime hotel rooms. But most of all, according to US Postal Service, it is purchasing the right to spend money.
And the right to spend money is expensive. The biggest backers, Olympic sponsors like Anheuser-Busch, Coca-Cola, McDonald's and Xerox, commit up to $40 million. But, getting the rights to the Olympic rings is only half the battle. The other half is the
challenge to sort of wrap their product brands around that image. Often that means TV time. And at roughly $ 400,000 per 30-second slot, some of the biggest sponsors have already locked up **mercial slot in their product categories that NBC has to sell.
Not everyone is convinced that the Games are worth the price of business admission. The biggest and most conspicuous naysayer (反对者) is Nike. Its spokesman says: "If I see a Reebok official who may not be in the best shape firing the starting pistol and Carl Lewis wearing Nike shoes, I'm going to go with Carl because that's the authentic link. Nike's strategy is hard to argue with-instead of sponsoring the Olympics, it sponsors Olympians.
Yet even Nike wants a piece of the Atlantic action. Along with some other non-sponsors, Nike is trying to dot downtown Atlanta with billboards. Advertisement, it's another Olympic event.
SSS_SINGLE_SEL
41.
The phrase "official vehicles" ( Line 5, Para. 1 ) refers to ______.
A automobiles for Olympic officials
B automobiles used in official occasion
C automobiles that the Olympic participants must drive
D automobiles that allowed to bear the Olympic symbol
该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2
答案:D
[解析] 本题是推理题。

文中第一段提到亚特兰大奥运会的赞助者时说There are 10 Worldwide Sponsors…，接着又说，The Atlanta Games will boast an“official”timepiece (clock)，two official game shows，and two official vehicles…因此这里的official vehicles指的是赞助商提供给奥运会使用的车子，这种车子不只是给官员使用，运动员和其他工作人员也能使用，故排除A选项。

使用车子的场合也不一定是正式的官方场合，故排除B选项。

C选项不合理。

而这种车子作为奥运会的专用车子，都会贴上奥运会的标志，所以D选项是正确答案。

SSS_SINGLE_SEL
42.
According to the passage all the following are Olympic sponsors except ______.
A US Postal Service
B Nike
C Coca-Cola
D McDonald's
该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2
答案:B
[解析] 本题是细节题。

文中第三段说耐克反对赞助奥运会，并说Nike's strategy is hard to argue with—instead of sponsoring the Olympics，it sponsors Olympians，即耐克的策略是赞助运动员而不是运动会本身。

所以B选项是正确答案。

A选项是强干扰项，但是文中第一段就提到according to US Postal Service，it is purchasing the right to spend money。

而purchasing the right to spend money也就是赞助奥运会，因此US Postal Service也是奥运会的赞助商之一。

SSS_SINGLE_SEL
43.
The last sentence of this passage indicates that ______.
A businesses trying to get publicity is a part of the Olympic Games
B the Olympic organizers are not interested in the Olympic non-sponsors' doing
C businesses must try very hard to earn money from the Olympic Games as if they were **peting in the Games
D those who fail to sponsor the Olympics this time will try very hard the next time
该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2
答案:C
[解析] 本题是推理题。

文中最后一句说Advertisement，it's another Olympic event。

another Olympic event说明广告的竞争就像奥运会一样非常激烈，而做广告的是各商家，因此这句话说明各个商家也努力想从奥运会中挣钱，就像在进行奥运会比赛一样。

A选项只是手段，各商家的最终目标是赢
利。

44.
All the following are implied in the passage but ______.

Passage Four
Most of the plans and programs for diminishing crime by means of
**munity organization have made prevention their major purpose. However, the underlying concepts on which such programs are based suffer from inconsistency (不一致，矛盾) and confusion. It would be inaccurate to speak as if concise, clear, and explicit models for crime prevention existed especially since writing and discussion on the subject often have been more ideological than scientific.
One conception heavily weighted with ideology is the argument that crime can be prevented by massive or total programs of social and economic improvement directed at the root causes of crime in society as a whole. The assumption is that eliminating harmful social conditions such as poverty, malnutrition, disease, poor housing, family disorganization, unemployment, and racial discrimination will make crime disappear. Crime is traced to a pathological (病态的) or broken social structure, and only a thorough renovation or replacement of that structure will usher in a crimeless society. This conception has revolutionary implications going back to older socialist beliefs that poverty or class exploitation causes crime. Among the methods it advocates to solve social problems is the activation of some forms of popular democracy.
Another form of social improvement more sophisticated in conception has been loosely designated as "opportunity theory
". This conception holds that crime results from psychic pressures in individuals who are culturally indoctrinated (灌输) with achievement values and yet have, no opportunity for upward mobility
because of their unfortunate position in a rigid social
structure. Those so disadvantaged are primarily youths in the lower socio-economic strata. Amelioration (改善) inspired by opportunity theory employs vaguely martial imagery: it speaks of the "mobilization" of community resources to make "war" on poverty.
Broad-scale programs of social and cultural improvement may be desirable or necessary at times, but since they fail to explain why some poverty-stricken youths turn to crime while others do not, their efficacy (功效) in eradicating and preventing crime is questionable at best. So far only one country, the Soviet Union, has conducted a large-scale revolutionary experiment in social improvement, and the results have not been affirmative: Soviet authorities are still plagued by juvenile crime. This experiment suggests that social improvement is too scattered in its impact to be an effective means of crime prevention.
