Questionable payments can be 66. partedisolateddisconnectedseparatedinto three classes. The first is sums of money paid over to achieve political 67. objectivesperspectivesintentionsbalances.

As a result, some people argued recently that "industry is caught in a web of bribery" and that everyone is "on the take".Part 6 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)(Each item: 2)Directions:Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from thefour choices marked A, B, C and D.Questions 86 to 90 are based on the same passage or dialog.Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowedto rust. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold thatthe car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable (可预见的)future.The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasolineengine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types. Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion (拥挤). One proposed solution to this problem is the automated (自动化的) highway system.When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable (可伸缩的) arm will drop fromthe auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car's movements.The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relaxand wait for the buzzer (蜂鸣器) that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.86. One significant improvement in the future car will probably be ________.A. its power sourceB. its monitoring systemC. its driving systemD. its seating capacity87. What is the author's main concern?A. How to render automobiles pollution-free.B. How to make smaller and safer automobiles.C. How to solve the problem of traffic jams.D. How to develop an automated subway system.88. What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?A. A rail.B. A retractable arm.C. An engine.D. A computer controller.89. In an automated highway system, all the driver needs to do is _______.A. keep in the right laneB. wait to arrive at his destinationC. keep in constant touch with the computer centerD. inform the system of his destination by phone90. What is the author's attitude toward the future of autos?A. Enthusiastic.B. Optimistic.C. Pessimistic.D. Cautious.Questions 91 to 95 are based on the same passage or dialog.Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long beenaccused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmerstry to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the foxpopulation. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group ofspecially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogseventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform ofred coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horseand hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But overthe last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because theythink it is brutal (残酷的), has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to passoff without some kind of confrontation (冲突) between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox's smell, which the dogs follow.Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they arealmost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit (追逐) of foxes itself. But this yearsupporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.91. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes ________.A. for recreationB. to limit the fox populationC. in the interests of the farmersD. to display their wealth92. What is special about fox hunting in Britain?A. It involves the use of a deadly poison.B. It is a costly event which rarely occurs.C. The hunters have set rules to follow.D. The hunters have to go through strict training.93. Fox hunting opponents often interfere in the game ________.A. by resorting to violenceB. by taking legal actionC. by confusing the fox huntersD. by demonstrating on the scene94. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to ________.A. prohibit farmers from hunting foxesB. forbid hunting foxes with dogsC. stop hunting wild animals in the countrysideD. prevent large-scale fox hunting95. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. killing foxes with poison is illegalB. limiting the fox population is unnecessaryC. hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violentD. fox-hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the rich Questions 96 to 100 are based on the same passage or dialog.Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated.Advocates of organic foods—a term whose meaning varies greatly—frequently proclaimthat such products are safer and more nutritious than others.The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of the typicalNorth American diet is a welcome development. However, much of this interest has beensparked by sweeping claims that the food supply is unsafe or inadequate in meetingnutritional needs. Although most of these claims are not supported by scientificevidence, the great number of written material advancing such claims makes itdifficult for the general public to separate fact from fiction. As a result, claimsthat eating a diet consisting entirely of organically-grown foods prevents or curesdisease or provides other benefits to health have become widely publicized and popularamong customers.Almost daily the public is surrounded by claims for "no-aging" diets, new vitamins,and other wonder foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated (无确实根据的) reports thatnatural vitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs arenutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better thanfertilized grains, and the like.One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in common is thatthey cost more than conventionally grown foods. But in many cases consumers are misledif they believe organic foods can maintain health and provide better nutritionalquality than conventionally grown foods. So there is real cause for concern ifconsumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food supply and buy only expensive organic foods instead.96. The word "Advocates" (Para. 1) is closest in meaning to which of the following?A. Supporters.B. Merchants.C. Inspectors.D. Consumers.97. What does the word "others" (Para. 1) refer to?A. Advantages.B. Advocates.C. Organic foods.D. Nonorganically-grown produc ts.98. The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers with limited incomes buy organic foods instead of conventionally grown foods because ________.A. organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than conventionally- grown foodsB. many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similar conventionally-grownfoodsC. conventionally-grown foods are more readily available than organic foodsD. too many farmers will stop using conventional methods to grow food crops99. According to the last paragraph, consumers who believe that organic foods arebetter than conventionally-grown foods are often ________.A. carelessB. mistakenC. mistakingD. wealthy100. What is the author's attitude toward the claims made by advocates of healthfoods?A. Very enthusiastic.B. Somewhat favorable.C. Neutral.D. Doubtful.Questions 101 to 105 are based on the same passage or dialog.For me, scientific knowledge is divided into mathematical sciences, natural sciences or sciences dealing with the natural world, and sciences dealing with mankind. Apart from these sciences is philosophy. In the first place, pure or theoretical knowledge has been sought only for the purpose of understanding. What distinguishes man fromanimals is that he knows and needs to know. If man did not know that the worldexisted, and that the world was of a certain kind, that he was in the world and thathe himself was of a certain kind, he wouldn't be man. The technical aspects or applications of knowledge are equally necessary for man and are of the greatest importance, because they also contribute to defining him as man and permit him topursue a life increasingly more truly human.But even while enjoying the results of technical progress, he must defend the value ofpure knowledge. Knowledge sought directly for its practical applications will haveimmediate and foreseeable success, but pure or theoretical knowledge will not. Let merecall a well-known example. If the Greek mathematicians had not applied themselves tothe investigation of conic (圆锥形的) sections, keenly and without the least suspicion that it might someday be useful, it would not have been possible centuries later to navigate far from shore. The first men to study the nature of electricity could not imagine that their experiments, carried on because of mere intellectual curiosity,would eventually lead to modern electrical technology, without which we can scarcelythink of contemporary life. Pure knowledge is valuable for its own sake, because the human spirit cannot resign itself to ignorance. But, in addition, it is the foundationfor practical results that would not have been reached if this knowledge had not beensought disinterestedly.101. The most important advances made by mankind come from ________ according to thepassage.A. practical applications of social sciencesB. practical applications of pure knowledgeC. sciences dealing with the natural worldD. the biological sciences102. The author does NOT include among the sciences the study of _________.A. chemistryB. astronomyC. economicsD. literature103. The author points out that the Greeks who studied conic sections ________.A. were mathematiciansB. were interested in navigationC. were unaware of the practical value of their studiesD. worked with electricity104. The title below that best expresses the ideas of this passage is ________.A. Technical ProgressB. A Little Learning Is a Dangerous ThingC. Man's Distinguishing CharacteristicsD. The Value of Pure Knowledge105. Pure knowledge is valuable for its own sake because ________.A. it is sought only for the purpose of understandingB. it is the foundation for practical resultsC. people are keen on itD. people are curious about it。

It is the grizzly bear (灰熊). Grizzlies (灰熊) can sprint thirty-five plus miles an hour, smell fish at nine or more miles, and drag a thousand-pound animal up steep mountains. The grizzly bear is one of a very few remaining on earth that can kill a human in physical combat. It can remove a human head with a single hit, or cause serious harm to a person in rapid order. Within the last wilderness areas where they live, they are the undisputed king of all beasts. I know this all very well. My name is Timothy Treadwell, and I live with the wild grizzly." Timothy Treadwell (April 29, 1957-October 5, 2003), born Timothy Dexter, gave a warning here that we should all pay attention to. Animals, particularly the bears he knew well, can be deadly. As it turns out, Treadwell should've taken his own advice and respected the danger these animals present. He should've kept his distance from them. If he had, he might be with us today.Who was Timothy Treadwell?Treadwell was an environmentalist and bear enthusiast who livedamong the Coastal brown bears of Katmai National Park in Alaskafor approximately 13 seasons. At the end of his thirteenth season inthe park in 2003, he and his girlfriend Amie Huguenard (age 37)were killed and partially eaten by a brown bear. The attack wasnotable because of the unusual lifestyle of the victims, and thesurvival of an audio recording of the attack. Treadwell's life, work,and death were the subject of the 2005 documentary film byWerner Herzog titled Grizzly Man.Life StoryBorn in Long Island, New York, much of what is known of TimothyTreadwell's life is documented by Treadwell himself. Treadwellcharacterized himself as an actor, recovering alcoholic, former druguser, and hero of the wild. According to his personal accounts, hebecame involved with drugs after failing to gain the role won byhis parents that he was second-choice for the role, but this has notbeen independently verified.Interest in bearsAfter several visits to Alaska in the early 1990's, Treadwell becameinterested in bears and, in the last 5 years of his life, documentedmany of his experiences and interactions with bears via homevideo. Treadwell attributed his recovery from drug use to hisrelationship with bears.By 2001, Treadwell became notable enough to receive extensivemedia attention both on television and in environmental circles.Through his videos, he became known for attempting to createpersonal relationships with the bears he worked with.As an activist, he actively communicated with the public, includingtraveling throughout the United States to educate school childrenabout bears, and appearing on the Discovery Channel, Late Showwith David Letterman, and Dateline NBC to discuss hisexperiences. He was also a co-author, with Jewel Palovak, of thebook Among Grizzlies: Living with Wild Bears in Alaska, where hedescribed his adventures in Alaska.Treadwell, along with his friends Jewel Palovak, and formerAmerican Gladiator Jonathan Byrne founded Grizzly People, apolitical organization devoted to protecting bears and preservingtheir wilderness home. Despite the organization's name, Treadwelldid not associate with grizzly bears, a term properly applied only tobrown bears that live farther inland.DeathIn October 2003, Treadwell and his girlfriend, Amie Huguenard,visited Katmai National Park in Alaska. Treadwell, who nevercarried any means of defense against bear attacks, chose to set hiscampsite near a stream where bears commonly feed in the fall.Treadwell was in the park later in the year than usual, at a timewhen bears fight to gain as much fat as possible before winter, andlimited food supplies cause them to be more aggressive than inother months. It has been noted that food was scarce that fall, andthe bears were therefore more aggressive than usual.On October 6, 2003, Treadwell and Huguenard's bodies wereto pick them up from their trip. A large elderly male bear (taggedBear 141) protecting the campsite was killed by park police whilethey attempted to get the bodies. A second adolescent bear waskilled a short time later after it charged the park police. It was latershown that the first animal had consumed parts of the couples'remains. This bear is not believed to be one of the bears Treadwellusually encountered, though this point is disputed.A video camera, with the lens cap in place, was recovered at thesite. The video camera had been turned on at some point duringthe fatal attack, presumably by Huguenard, but the camerarecorded only six minutes of audio before running out of tape.Treadwell's head, partial backbone, and left arm and hand stillwearing his wrist watch were recovered at the scene. Huguenard'spartial body was found nearby somewhat buried in dirt.Methods and CriticismTreadwell's methods were generally thought unsound by bearexperts and public alike. He named many of the bears heencountered and often moved close enough to them that he couldtouch them and interact with them on a personal level.Many wildlife experts objected to his methods, believing that hisattitude toward the bears was too brave, that he ignored well-knowndangers of working with bears, and that he thought of them toomuch as people. Experts also believe that he endangered theanimals by making them too comfortable with humans, thusincreasing the likelihood of dangerous encounters in the future. Hisdeath by bear attack is seen by some as a natural conclusion of hismethods of interacting with bears.His critics also note that while Treadwell believed that he wasprotecting bears, control experts have stated that incidents of illegalhunting in the area were low and did not affect the population level.However, according to the "Grizzly People" organization hefounded, five bears were killed in the year after his death, whilenone had been killed while he was present in Katmai. This last pointis disputed.Grizzly Man, the FilmIn 2005, director Werner Herzog released Grizzly Man, adocumentary about Treadwell's work with wildlife in Alaska, whichsome of the film that Treadwell took, and also interviews withpeople who knew him, and his appearance on David Letterman.Grizzly Man is generally considered to have a critical take onTreadwell, his methods and his character; many people say thatGrizzly Man made Treadwell look mentally unbalanced. However,Herzog does praise Treadwell's films and pictures.1.There are not many animals that can, like the grizzly,________________.A. inspire respect and fearB. live in wilderness areasC. kill a human in physical combatD. sprint thirty-five plus miles an hour2.Why was the attack on Treadwell and Huguenard notable?________________A.

Over two thousand workmen died from yellow fever and malaria (疟疾). In 1881 a French organization tried to build a canal across the Isthmus (巴拿马地峡). For eleven years workmen struggled against heat and disease. At least 15,000 died before the French gave up their attempts to build the canal. For years the abandoned machinery lay in the jungles. At the close of the Spanish-American War the United States bought a strip of land ten miles wide across the Isthmus. Immediate attention was given to the control of diseases. In two years yellow fever was completely eliminated. Because of the work of American medical heroes, it was possible to build the splendid Panama Canal.1.Prior to the successful completion of the Panama Canal,________.A.

For example, he or she could understand what building materials were available. In areas with many wood houses, the traveler would have guessed that there were nearby forests. Stone houses would have indicated that stones were easy to get. However, a closer look at the houses would have told the traveler even more about the area.People used to build houses that fitted the climate of their areas. For example, in desert regions there is a big difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures. Therefore, many desert people built houses with very thick walls. These thick walls served a useful purpose in the houses. For example, in the winter the thick walls absorbed the sun's warmth during the day and radiated the heat at night. Desert people were relatively comfortable in their homes, or residences, at all times because they built them to fit the desert climate.Then the supply of fuel for electricity became both cheap and easy to get. The effect on housing was immediate. People began to build their homes according to fashion instead of utility. Houses nolonger reflected the availability of building materials or climate.Houses with steep roofs could be found in the tropics, the warm regions of the Earth, even though these pointed roofs originated in snowy regions of the world. Heavy snow falls off a slanted (歪斜的) roof. Another example is the use of glass. Houses made almost completely of glass could be found in very cold places. Yet ordinary glass does not insulate (绝缘) well because it neither keeps out cold air nor keeps in warm air. As long as fuel was cheap and easy to get, people could build any type of house any place.6.What are two things that a traveler could learn about an areaby looking at the houses?A. The climate is poor and so are the people living in it.B. The climate in the area and the kind of building materialseasy for the people to reach.C.

During the first half of the nineteenth century much thought was given to building the Panama Canal. The discovery of gold in California in 1848 brought an increased demand for a transportation link across Panama. A railroad line was completed after six years of hard labor in the swamps (沼泽) and jungles. Over two thousand workmen died from yellow fever and malaria (疟疾). In 1881 a French organization tried to build a canal across the Isthmus (巴拿马地峡). For eleven years workmen struggled against heat and disease. At least 15,000 died before the French gave up their attempts to build the canal. For years the abandoned machinery lay in the jungles. At the close of the Spanish-American War the United States bought a strip of land ten miles wide across the Isthmus. Immediate attention was given to the control of diseases. In two years yellow fever was completely eliminated. Because of the work of American medical heroes, it was possible to build the splendid Panama Canal.1.Prior to the successful completion of the Panama Canal,________.A. France bought a strip of land across the Isthmus of PanamaB. Malaria was wiped out as a killer diseaseC. one country failed in its attempts to build a canalD. American doctors were honored for their work2.The building of the Panama Canal represents ________.A. man's unyielding desire for progressB. man's unceasing thirst for dangerC. man's ability to resist diseaseD. man's spirit of invention3.What was given priority by the United States?A.

Starting the building the canal immediately.C. the prevention of illness.D. the Spanish-American War.4.The author presents details according to ________.A. order of importanceB. spatial (空间的) orderC. simple listingD. time order5.What is the main idea of the passage?A. The elimination of yellow fever.B. The discovery of gold in California.C. The efforts recorded in the building of the Panama Canal.D. The work of American medical heroes.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.At one time a traveler could learn about a region by looking at the houses. For example, he or she could understand what building materials were available. In areas with many wood houses, the traveler would have guessed that there were nearby forests. Stone houses would have indicated that stones were easy to get. However, a closer look at the houses would have told the traveler even more about the area.People used to build houses that fitted the climate of their areas. For example, in desert regions there is a big difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures. Therefore, many desert people built houses with very thick walls. These thick walls served a useful purpose in the houses. For example, in the winter the thick walls absorbed the sun's warmth during the day and radiated the heat at night. Desert people were relatively comfortable in their homes, or residences, at all times because they built them to fit the desert climate.Then the supply of fuel for electricity became both cheap and easy to get. The effect on housing was immediate. People began to build their homes according to fashion instead of utility. Houses no longer reflected the availability of building materials or climate.Houses with steep roofs could be found in the tropics, the warm regions of the Earth, even though these pointed roofs originated in snowy regions of the world. Heavy snow falls off a slanted (歪斜的) roof. Another example is the use of glass. Houses made almost completely of glass could be found in very cold places. Yet ordinary glass does not insulate (绝缘) well because it neither keeps out cold air nor keeps in warm air. As long as fuel was cheap and easy to get, people could build any type of house any place.6.What are two things that a traveler could learn about an areaby looking at the houses?A. The climate is poor and so are the people living in it.B. The climate in the area and the kind of building materials easy for the people to reach.C. There is a forest nearby and they are on the top of a mountain.D. They are near a house and its owner is not there at themoment.7.The main idea of Paragraph 1 is that ________.A. wood is a forest productB. there are no stones in forestsC. houses used to tell about a regionD. people used to travel to learn about houses8.The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that ________.A. thick walls absorb heat from the sunB. people built houses to fit the climateC. people are comfortable in their housesD. in the desert, daytime temperatures are lower thannighttime temperatures9.The main idea of Paragraphs 3 and 4 is that ________.A. heavy snow does not stay on steep roofsB. ordinary glass does not insulate wellC. fuel is used to produce electricityD. the supply of fuel affects home building10.What does "radiate" (Para. 2) mean?A. Give off.B. Absorb.C. Gather.D. Consume.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog. Real policemen, both in Britain and the United States, hardly recognize any resemblance (相似) between their lives and what they see on TV-if they are even able to watch TV.The first difference is that in real life a policeman has been trained in criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court.He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty-or not-of stupid, petty (不重要的) crimes.Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as soon as he's arrested, the story is over. In real life, finding criminals is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks-where failure to produce results reflects on the standing of the police-little effort is spent on searching.A third big difference is between the drama detective and the real life ones. Detectives are subject to two opposing pressures: first, as members of a police force they always have to behave with absolute legality (合法); secondly, as expensive public servants they have to get results. They can hardly ever do both. Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways.If the detective has to deceive the world, the world often deceives him. Hardly anyone he meets tells him the truth. And this separation the detective feels between himself and the rest of the world is deepened by the simplemindedness-as he sees it-of citizens, social workers, doctors, law-makers, and judges, who, instead of stamping out crime, punish the criminals less severely in the hope that this will make them reform. The result, detectives feel, is that nine-tenths of their time is spent re-catching people who should have stayed behind bars. This makes them rather cynical.11.It is essential for a policeman to be trained in criminal law________.A. so that he can catch criminals in the streetsB. because many of the criminals he has to catch aredangerousC. so that he can justify his arrests in courtD. because he has to know nearly as much about law as aprofessional lawyer12.The everyday life of a policeman or detective is ________.A. exciting and mysteriousB. full of dangerC. devoted mostly to routine mattersD. wasted on unimportant matters13.When murders and terrorist attacks occur the police________.A. prefer to wait for the criminal to give himself awayB. work hard to track down the criminalsC. try to make a quick arrest in order to keep up theirreputationD. usually fail to produce results14.The real detective lives in an unusual moral climate because________.A. he is an expensive public servantB. he must always behave with absolute legalityC. he is obliged to break the law in order to preserve itD. he feels himself to be cut off from the rest of the world15.Detectives are rather cynical because ________.A. nine-tenths of their work involves arresting peopleB. hardly anyone tells them the truthC. society does not punish criminals severely enoughD. D too many criminals escape from jail。
