The UN agency Unicef found that, 16the situation has slightly improved, many women are still not included in family decisions,17 as a result their children are more likely to suffer from poor health.The main finding of the 30-country survey is that equality between men and women is vital to 18 (improve) living standards and health, especially for children in developing countries. The conclusions are contained in the agency’ s19 (late) report. This report points to a lack of opportunities for girls and women in education and work, which contributes 20 their poverty and lack of power. Where men control the household, less money 21 (spend) on healthcare and food,22 results in poorer health for children.An increase in 23 (employ) opportunities for women would increase 24 household power, the report said. For example, the agency found that whoever has more household income decides 25 or not it will be used for family needs.II阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

One cold night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco.There I was walking home around one o’clock in the morning after a 1practice at the theatre. With the opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines by heart. I was having 2 handling my part-time job at the bank in the daytime and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about 3 both acting and San Francisco. I had 4 too much of city life.As I walked down the 5 streets under the tall buildings, I felt very small and cold, so I began 6 both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few homeless people under blankets.About a block from my 7 , I heard a sound behind me. I 8 quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me 9 ,so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I 10 what the noise had been. It had been my wallet 11 to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk 12 for 15 minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to quit the 13 , I heard the garbage truck stop to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice came from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened and out jumped a small blonde man with an 14 look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for?” He asked, holding up a wallet.It was already 3 a.m. by the t ime I got into bed. I couldn’t get much sleep, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some 15 of city life. I realized the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other. 1.A.comfortable B.serious C.tiresome D.fortunate 2.A.comfort B.desire C.pain D.trouble 3.A.setting up B.giving up C.holding up D.picking up 4.A.expected B.changed C.controlled D.possessed 5.A.deserted B.crowded C.busy D.wild 6.A.running B.jumping C.moving D.marching 7.A.bank B.theatre C.apartment D.office 8.A.stood B.walked C.turned D.left 9.A.satisfied B.confused C.frightened D.annoyed10.

AAptitude Tests RecommendationsAptitude tests are helpful to job seekers of all ages. While career quizzes explore your values and work style, aptitude tests provide a more objective evaluation of your skills, helping you select a career you’re most likely to succeed in. Below are some of the best aptitude tests out there.Clifton StrengthsThe Clifton Strengths program was created based on research around leadership. The research in question pointed to common strengths among successful leaders, like strategic thinking, adaptability and communication. To complete the test, you must answer around 150 questions, each within 20 seconds. Allen Cheung, a tech blogger, notes that Clifton Strengths is more valuable than your average career test because it includes “tricky questions which aren’t as easily gamed”.Red Bull WingfinderDeveloped and tested out by psychology experts, the Red Bull Wingfinder assesses your thinking under pressure. Questions include image sorting, logic puzzles and leadership-related questions. Once you complete the test, you’ll receive a nine-page report and career coaching tailored to your results.SEI Development ReportThe SEI Development Report is an extensive EQ aptitude test that has timed right-and-wrong answers that assess eight fundamentals, including emotional literacy, emotional management and empathy. At the end, you’ll receive a 20-page report with recommended courses on workplace EQ development.CareerOneStopWhile it only takes a few minutes to complete, the CareerOneStop Skills Assessment will help you rank both your technical and soft skills. The career suggestions at the end can be categorized by relevance, annual wages, and job outlook, coupled with professional coaching or consultation to improve your skills.21. What do aptitude tests mainly assess for job seekers?A. Their work morals.B. Their preferred work style.C. Their career interest.D. Their professional competence.22. What is a unique feature of Clifton Strengths?A. It evaluates leadership skills.B. It develops strategic thinking.C. It includes challenging questions.D. It offers a comprehensive report.23. Which test suits those who prefer sorted suggestions and career coaching?A. Clifton Strengths.B. Red Bull Wingfinder.C. SEI Development Report.D. CareerOneStop.BFor some of us, going to the dentist for routine check-ups is a thing of the ordinary. But for many people around the world, especially those in poverty-stricken areas, having dental improvement and their teeth checked simply isn’t possible. A Brazilian dentist Felipe Rossi has devoted himself to helping change that situation.Growing up in USA, Felipe Rossi had just obtained the Bachelor of Medicine Degree and was about to start a master’s degree in Pediatric Dentistry (儿童口腔学) when a journey to his father’s home — Balsabo in Brazil — converted his initial plan. “All locals didn’t have access to dental care, and consequently, many of them suffered deformed teeth or even loss of teeth, leading to many people not daring to laugh with mouth open.” Felipe Rossi recalled. “A desire was planted in my heart. That is, to use my skills to bring healthy smiles to people suffering from dental problems.”With the support of his parents, Felipe formed an NGO (non-governmentorganization) called Porsorriso to give free oral treatments to individuals with low incomes who require cleaning, fillings, crowns, restoration work and more. His team is composed of approximately 30 registered volunteers who go with him to poor towns and villages in Brazil.Sponsorship is generally provided by two private companies. Individuals may also make donations through the “Smile Solidarity” program, where they can choose monthly amounts to contribute. Porsorriso also holds regular fundraisers to afford the cost of providing free dental services around the country.Noble as its objective is, Felipe admits that Porsorriso is “struggling to survive” because of the huge cost of providing dental work and the constant fundraising events they have to hold to keep the NGO in normal functioning. “Challenging as it is, it did bring healthy teeth as well as renewed confidence to the locals. We will continue this transformative act whatever difficulties we will face”. Felipe said with a strong will.24. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?A. By posing a contrast.B. By making an appeal.C. By reporting an event.D. By assuming a situation.25. What motivated Felipe to offer dental treatments to Brazilians?A. The support from his parents.B. The passion for dental health.C. The encounter with locals lacking dental care.D. The professional skills and knowledge from college.26. Which of the following can best describe Felipe Rossi?A. Hopeful and diligent.B. Charitable and dedicated.C. Faithful and ambitious.D. Intelligent and innovative.27. What do we know about Porsorriso?A. It gives free oral treatments to anyone in need.B. It is cooperated by Felipe Rossi and the local authority.C. It is financially supported by corporations and individuals.D. It holds regular fundraisers to educate people about dental care.CYou’ve most likely heard the news by now: A car-commuting, desk-bound, TV-watching lifestyle can be harmful to our health. All the time that we spend rooted in the chair is linked to increased risks of so many deadly diseases that experts have named this modern-day health epidemic the “sitting disease”.Sitting for too long slows down the body’s metabolism (新陈代谢) and the way enzymes break down our fat reserves, raising both blood sugar levels and blood pressure. Small amounts of regular activity, even just standing and moving around,throughout the day is enough to bring the increased levels back down. And those small amounts of activity add up — 30 minutes of light activity in two or three-minute bursts can be just as effective as a half-hour block of exercise. But without that activity, blood sugar levels and blood pressure keep creeping up, steadily damaging the inside of the arteries (动脉) and increasing the risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and other serious diseases. In essence, fundamental changes in biology occur if you sit for too long.But wait, you’re a runner. You needn’t worry about the harm of a sedentary lifestyle because you exercise regularly, right? Well, not so fast. Recent studies show that people spend an average of 64 hours a week sitting, whether or not they exercise 150 minutes a week as recommended by World Health Organization (WHO). Regular exercisers, furthermore, are found to be about 30 percent less active on days when they exercise. Overall, most people simply aren’t exercising or moving around enough to balance out all the harm that can result from sitting nine hours or more a day.Scared straight out of your chair? Good. The remedy is as simple as standing up and taking activity breaks.28. Which is the best way to bring down high blood sugar level and blood pressure?A. Doing exercise for 150 minutes or more every week.B. Getting rid of the habit of car commuting and TV watching.C. Standing or moving around for at least two minutes every day.D. Interrupting sitting time with light activity as often as possible.29. What does the word “sedentary” in the third paragraph most likely mean?A. Inactive.B. Risky.C. Overloaded.D. Unbalanced.30. Which of the following may be inferred about those who do serious exercise?A. They always meet the exercise standard recommended by WHO.B. They tend to stand or move less on the days when they work out.C. They usually remove all the harmful effects of sitting for too long.D. They generally spend less time sitting than those who do not exercise.31. What is the passage mainly about?A. The challenges of the modern lifestyle.B. The effect of regular activity on our body.C. The reasons for the spread of a modern epidemic.D. The threat to our health from long hours of sitting.DThe ban on cigarette advertising in the early 1970s in the United States serves as a fascinating case study in the field of public health campaigns and their unintendedconsequences. Despite the government’s intention to discourage smoking and reduce related health risks, the ban led to an unexpected outcome: an increase in cigarette sales for the major tobacco companies.The reason for this unexpected outcome can be traced to the principles of game theory, particularly the prisoner’s dilemma paradox (悖论). Just as in the prisoner’s dilemma, where cooperation leads to the best outcome for both parties, the tobacco companies would benefit collectively if none of them advertised. This action would create fairness in competition, ensuring that no individual company gains an edge by advertising.However, the dilemma arises when considering the potential actions of competitors. If one tobacco company decides to ignore the ban and advertise its products, it stands to gain a significant market share and increased sales compared to its non-advertising competitors. This creates a situation where each company faces the urge to advertise, fearing that their competitors may do the same and leave them at a disadvantage.In the end, most tobacco companies decided to play it safe and invested in advertising, despite the ban, to avoid being left behind in the competitive landscape. This strategic decision reflects the uncertainty and strategic considerations that shape business decisions, even in the face of regulations aimed at public health goals.This application of game theory provides valuable insight into the complexities of influencing human behavior through policy interventions. While well-intended efforts such as advertising bans may seem straightforward in theory, the realities of strategic decision-making and competitive dynamics often lead to unforeseen outcomes. As such, understanding the complexities of game theory can provide valuable insight for policymakers seeking to design more effective interventions and address complex societal challenges.32. What is a direct result of the ban in the 1970s?A. Cut in tax income.B. Reduction in health risks.C. Rise in tobacco sales.D. Cooperation of companies.33. How can all competitors benefit in the prisoner’s dilemma?A. They fully trust each other and follow the regulations.B. They act independently and pursue their own interests.C. They increase their market share at the expense of others.D. They ignore competition and focus on their own strategies.34. Why do most tobacco companies finally choose to advertise?A. To avoid intense competition.B. To gain a competitive advantage.C. To shape better business images.D. To achieve public health goals.35. What can be a suitable title for the passage?A. A Good Intention Fails.B. A Cigarette Ban Ends in Smoke.C. A Ban Boosts Public Health.D. A Dilemma Concerns Cigarette Companies.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

广东省六校2024届高三上学期第二次联考语文试题一、现代文阅读(35分)(一)现代文阅读I(本题共5小题,19分)阅读下面的文字,完成1-5题。
①在公共生活中的“说理”是一种理性交流、表达看法、解释主张,并对别人可能有说服作用的话语形式。
说服就是运用语言来对具体的他人作劝说、解释、说明,以期对他们有所影响。
伊索寓言中有一则《太阳与风》的故事:太阳与风进行比赛,看谁能使穿着外套的行人脱掉外套。
风刮了又刮,但刮得越凶,那个行人就把外套裹得越紧。
然后太阳出来了,照在行人的身上,行人感到身体出汗了,就把外套脱了下来。
这个故事可以用作“说服强于强制”的寓言。
希腊哲学家芝诺对说服有相似的说法,他称说服是一只摊开的手掌,而不是一个攥紧的拳头。
说服是欢迎他人加入对话,不是企图限制他们有自己的看法,更不是威胁他们不准有自己的看法。
②说理通过说明和协商,而不是暴力或战争来解决人间可能出现的矛盾和冲突,并形成一种可以称之为“讲理”的文明秩序。
所有的战争和混乱都是在没有协商,无理可讲的情况下发生的;说理使得人类能够用摊开的手掌,而不是攥紧的拳头来相互交往,人类才得以进入文明社会。
然而,当下互联网中的说理常常被当作是攥紧拳头,而非摊开手掌的话语行为。
这样的“说理”便成为“占领话语阵地”“口诛笔伐”“论战”和向对方报以“投枪”和“匕首”。
这种“说理”观念令无数人深受其害而浑然不知。
③说理是发表意见,但“发表意见”并不就是说理。
任何表达看法的陈述,包括骂和谩骂,都可以说是“发表意见”,但并不是说理。
说理的“发表意见”必须包括两个部分:一个是“结论”(也称主张或看法),另一个是“理由”,结论是由理由来支持的。
当然,有理由支持的结论未必都确实或可靠,因此需要评估理由是否真的能充分支持主张。
④说理需要平等、理性地对待不同意见,并不只是出于说理者主观意愿的“宽宏”“宽厚”或“宽容”,而是由“说理”本身的话语特性决定的。
说理离不开价值判断,包括伦理和政治的判断,尽管它并不专门讨论伦理和政治。

However, given children’s actual experience on study tours, many parents are now questioning its true value.I think such worries are unnecessary. Travelling abroad, whether for study or for pleasure, is a good way for students to broaden their horizon and become more sophisticated. My friend Dave went on such a tour, and said it was the most rewarding experience of his life. He attended a two-week course at Oxford University and then travelled to different parts of the UK, all of which helped him learn more about the history, culture and society of Britain. He was so impressed by the academic atmosphere of Oxford University that now he is dreaming of studying there in the future.My own dream is to travel to America, attend some lectures in my dream university,Harvard University and travel to different parts of the country with local students. This way I may have more opportunities to speak English and learn more about the country’s culture and life.Version IIMore and more parents engage their children in the expensive micro-foreign study tours. However they fail to see the expected results and begin to question the value of the study tours.I could n’t agree more with the author. Students on such tours seldom improve their spoken English, gain a shallow understanding of foreign customs, and return loaded with shopping rather than cultural enrichment.I went on such a tour four years ago. I still remember how other students behaved in class: they are all obsessed with their own business and paid no attention to theteachers. They were quite “enjoying”foreign classrooms: whispering and laughing, reading Chinese romantic novels, playing game-boys, or just chatting online.Obviously, experiences like this don’t make any educational sense. Perhaps, if tours involve students not only from China, but also from other countries, it will force students to communicate in English, which, at least in my opinion will greatly improve their communicative English skills.。

In fact, next to the lake are the protected wetlands, where songbirds, ducks, and Canada geese glided by on the breeze, touching down briefly on the water’s surface before flapping(振翅) their way back up into the sky.Standing at the lake’s edge, my cousin, Allan, and I cast our fishing lines separately onto the smoothasglass water. Down the shoreline was Allan’s father, my uncle Rick. He liked to fish alone, away from distractions, noise, and other people.Allan shouted, “Dad, where should I stand?”Uncle Rick pressed his finger to his lips, pointed to a shady spot by a large rock where he had cast his line and shook his head gently.“He wants us to be quiet or else we won’t catch any fish.”I whispered.“Why do I have to be so quiet?”asked Allan. “All those birds are making more noise than I ever could!”I ignored him, pulling back on my rod gently and squinting into the glare of the sun. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a few great northern loons(潜鸟) gathering together not far from the shoreline. What were they doing there? Loons usually travel alone, but here were five of them in a cluster. Maybe it was a family? Just then one loon, making a loud painful cry, swam away from the group, toward me.“Allan! e here. Now!”Allan laid his fishing rod down on the dirty sand, darting toward me.“e here. Take a look at that loon. It’s swimming toward us, not far away from us. It’s trying to get our attention.”The loon finally stopped in the shallow water near shore, not ten feet away from us. It was so close that we could see its round red eyes. Strangely, the bird’s wings were held tight against its body.Wading into the water and getting closer to the loon, we both saw a fishing line wrapped tightly around its neck and a shiny red hook(鱼钩) in its body. Left like this, the loon couldn’t fly or fish or survive. It was asking us to help! 注意:1.续写词数应为150 词左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

One cold night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco.There I was walking home around one o’clock in the morning after a 1 practice at the theatre. With the opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines by heart. I was having 2 handling my part-time job at the bank in the daytime and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about 3 both acting and San Francisco. I had 4 too much of city life.As I walked down the 5 streets under the tall buildings, I felt very small and cold, so I began 6 both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few homeless people under blankets.About a block from my 7 , I heard a sound behind me. I 8 quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me 9 ,so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I 10 what the noise had been. It had been my wallet 11 to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk 12 for 15 minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to quit the 13 , I heard the garbage truck stop to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice came from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened and out jumped a small blonde man with an 14 look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for?” He asked, holding up a wallet.It was already 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I couldn’t get much sleep, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some 15 of city life. I realized the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other. 1.A.comfortable B.serious C.tiresome D.fortunate 2.A.comfort B.desire C.pain D.trouble 3.A.setting up B.giving up C.holding up D.picking up 4.A.expected B.changed C.controlled D.possessed 5.A.deserted B.crowded C.busy D.wild 6.A.running B.jumping C.moving D.marching 7.A.bank B.theatre C.apartment D.office 8.A.stood B.walked C.turned D.left 9.A.satisfied B.confused C.frightened D.annoyed10.

AIt is obvious that doctors recognize obesity as a health problem. So why is it so hard for them to talk to their patients about it?The results of two surveys, one of primary care physicians and the other of patients, found that while most doctors want to help patients lose weight and think it is their responsibility to do so, they o ften don’t know what to say.“So while doctors may tell patients they are overweight, the conversation often ends there,” said Christine C. Ferguson, director of the Stop Obesity Alliance. “Patients are not told about the possibility of diabetes (糖尿病),” she said. “And doctors don’t feel they have good information to give. They felt that they didn’t have adequate tools to address this problem.The lack of dialogue hurts patients, too. The patient survey, of over 1,000 adults, found that most overwe ight patients don’t even know that they’re too heavy. Only39 percent of overweight people surveyed had ever been told by a health care provider that they were overweight.Of those who were told they were obese, 90 percent were also told by their doctors to lose weight, the survey found. In fact most have tried to lose weight and may have been successful in the past—and many are still trying, the survey found. And many understand that losing even a small amount of weight can have a positive impact on their health and reduce their risk of obesity-related diseases like hypertension and diabetes.Dr. William Bestermann Jr., medical director of Holston Medical Group, in Kingsport, Tenn. , which ranks the 10th in obesity among metropolitan areas in the United States, said the dialogue had to be an ongoing one and could not be dropped after just one mention of the problem. “If you’re to be successful with helping your patients lose weight, you have to talk to them at actually every visit about their progress, and f ind something to encourage them and coach them,” he said.He acknowledged that many doctors tend to be not optimistic.“Part of this is that there's this common belief, and doctors are burdened by it, too, that overweight people are weak-willed and just do n’t have any willpower and are selfindulgent and all that business,” he said. “If you think that way, you’re not going to spend time having a productive conversation.”26.What is the Stop Obesity Alliance most probably in Paragraph 3?A. An organization of doctors suffering from obesity.B. An organization of patients suffering from obesity.C. A research group that conducts special surveys about overweight people.D. A research group dealing with doctor-patient relationship.27.How many of the patients surveyed have been advised by their doctors to loseweight?A. About 350.B. About 390.C. About 900.D. About 1,000.28. What can be inferred about obesity patients in Paragraph 5?A. They are not as hopeless as doctors think they are.B. Most of them have tried hard to lose weight, but in vain.C. Without their doctors’ constant coaching, there is little chance of theirsucceeding in losing weight.D. Most of them have just given up their hope of becoming less heavy.29. According to the passage, which factor contributes to the lack of dialoguebetween doctors and patients?A. Most doctors never think of warning their patients about their weight problem.B. Many doctors find it difficult to persuade overweight people to lose weight.C. Most patients are too weak-willed to do anything about their weight.D. Many patients tend not to trust their doctors about their weight problem.30. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Obesity in the U. S.B. Trouble of overweight Americans.C. Talk more, help better.D. Doctors or patients---who to bear more blame?BIt is pretty much a one-way street. While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial world, there is very little traffic in the opposite direction. Pay has always been the biggest deterrent, as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job. For some industrial scientists, however, the attractions of academia (学术界) outweigh any financial considerations.Helen Lee took a 70% cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge. Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions. Some areas of inquiry have few prospects of a commercial return, and Lee’s is one of them.The impact of a salary cut is probably less severe for a scientist in the early stages of a career. Guy Grant, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a pharmaceutical (制药的) company before returning to university as a post-doctoral researcher. He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual opportunities.Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more significant, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition (转换) to academia more attractive, according to Lee. Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a multidisciplinary team, manage budgets and negotiate contracts. They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development. “Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project.”31. By “a one-way street” in Paragraph One, the author means ________.A. university researchers know little about the commercial worldB. there is little exchange between industry and academiaC. few industrial scientists would quit to work in a universityD. few university professors are willing to do industrial research32.The underlined word “deterrent” most probably refers to something that________.A. keeps someone from taking actionB. helps to move the trafficC. attracts people’s attentionD. brings someone a financial burden33. What was Helen Lee’s major consideration when she changed her job in themiddle of her career?A. Flexible work hours.B. Her research interests.C. Her preference for the lifestyle on campus.D. Prospects of academic accomplishments.34. Guy Grant chose to work as a researcher at Cambridge in order to ________.A. do financially more rewarding workB. raise his status in the academic worldC. enrich his experience in medical researchD. exploit better intellectual opportunities35. What contribution can industrial scientists make when they come to teach in auniversity?A. Increase its graduates’ competitiveness in the job market.B. Develop its students’ potential in research.C. Help it to obtain financial support from industry.D. Gear its research towards practical applications.CThe government-run command post in Tunis is staffed around the clock by military personnel, meteorologists and civilians. On the wall are maps, crisscrossed with brightly colors arrows that painstakingly track the fearsome path of the enemy.What kind of invader gives rise to such high-level monitoring? Not man, not beast, but the lowly desert locust(蝗虫). In recent months, billions of the 3-inch-long winged warriors have descended on Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia, blackening the sky and eating up crops and vegetation. The insect invasion, the worst in 30 years, is already creating great destruction in the Middle East and is now treating southern Europe. The current crisis began in late 1985 near the Red Sea. Unusually rainy weather moistened the sands of the Sudan, making them ideal seedbed for the locust, which lays its eggs in the earth. The insect onslaught threatens to create yet another African famine. Each locust can eat its weight (not quite a tenth of an ounce) in vegetation every 24 hours. A good-size swarm of 50 billion insects eats up 100,000 tons of grass, trees and crops in a single night.All ﹩150 million may be needed this year. The U.S. has provided two spraying planes and about 50,000 gal. of pesticide. The European Community has donated ﹩3.8 million in aid and the Soviet Union, Canada, Japan and China have provided chemical-spraying aircraft to help wipe out the pests. But relief efforts are hampered by the relative mildness of approved pesticides, which quickly lose their deadly punch and require frequent replications. The most effective locust killer dieldrin has been linked to cancer and is banned by many Western countries and some of the affected African nations. More than 5 million acres have been dusted with locust-killing chemicals; another 5 million will be treated by the end of June.On May 30, representatives of Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Mauritania will meet in Algiers to discuss tactics to wipe out the ravenous swarms. The move is an important step, but whatever plan is devised, the locust plague promised to get worse before the insects can be brought under control.36. The main idea of the first sentence in the passage is that ______.A. the command post is stationed with people all the time.B. the command post is crowded with people all the time.C. there are clocks around the command post.D. the clock in the command post is taken care of by the staff.37. The favorable breeding ground for the locust is ______.A. rich soil.B. wet landC. paces covered crops and vegetationD. the Red Sea38. People are alert at the threat of the locust because ______.A. the insects are likely to create another African famine.B. the insects may blacken the sky.C. the number of the insects increases drastically.D. the insects are gathering and moving in great speed.39. Which of the following is true?A. Once the pesticides are used, locust will die immediately.B. Relief efforts are proved most fruitful due to the effectiveness of certainpesticides.C. Dieldrin, the most effective locust killer, has been widely accepted in manycountries.D. Over 10 million acres of affected area will have been treated with locust-killingchemicals by the end of June.40. The purpose for affected nations to meet in Algiers on May 30 is ______.A. to devise anti-locust plans.B. to wipe out the swarms in two years.C. to call out for additional financial aid from other nations.D. to bring the insects under control before the plague gets worse.DThere are various ways in which individual economic units can interact with one another. Three basic ways may be described as the market system, the administered system, and the traditional system.In a market system individual economic units are free to interact among each other in the marketplace. It is possible to buy commodities from other economic units or sell commodities to them. In a market, transactions may take place via barter or money exchange. In a barter economy, real goods such as automobiles, shoes, and pizzas are traded against each other. Obviously, finding somebody who wants to trade my old car in exchange for a sailboat may not always be an easy task. Hence, the introduction of money as a medium of exchange eases transactions considerably. In the modern market economy, goods and services are bought or sold for money.An alternative to the market system is administrative control by some agency over all transactions. This agency will issue commands as to how much of each good and service should be produced, exchanged, and consumed by each economic unit. Central planning may be one way of administering such an economy.
