Small amounts of soot are safe, but large amounts can be dangerous.The govenment wants to limit this kind of pollution.It may stop people from using their fireplaces. The air is tested every day.When soot levels are high, more than 65 micrograms of soot per cubic meter, factories must stop making smoke.The government thinks that limit should be much lower. Factories produce the most smoke and soot.But the government thinks that all types of burning should be limited.The soot levels from factories and homes could be limited.Home owners may have to install new wood stoves that they comply with the new law.Or, they may not be able to bum on days when the air quality is bad. Residents of some towns are fined if they violate the burning ban.Scientists hope these new regulations will make the air cleaner and less harmful to breathe.16 Why is the air quality tested every day?

3.根据以下材料,回答52-55题 How can we get rid of garbage?Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energyneeds? These are two important questions that many people are asking today.Some people think thatman might be able to solve both problems at the same time.They suggest using garbage as an energysource.and at the same time it can save the land to hold garbage. For a long time,people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land.Now,empty land is scarce·But more and more garbage is produced each year.However,garbage can be a good fuel to use.Thethings in garbage do not look like coal,petroleum,or natural gas;but they are chemically similar totllese fossil fuels.As we use up our fossil—fuel supplies,we might be able to use garbage as an energysource.Burning garbage is not a new idea.Some cities in Europe and the United States have beenburning garbage for years.The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water.Thesteam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings.In Paris,France,somepower plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the city’s garbage each year.The amount of energypmduced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil. Our fossil fuel supplies are limited.Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that wecan use to help meet our energy needs.This method could also reduce the amount of garbage pilingup on the earth.The best title for the passage may be.

5.The strange close understanding between twins is a familiar enough phenomenon. Often they seem to understand each other and share each other’s emotions to such an extent that one suspects some kind of thought communication. What is not so widely known is that this special relationship often acts as brake on twins’ intellectual development. As they are partly isolated in their own private world, twins communicate less with adults than do other children. The verbal ability of a four-year old twin is typically six months behind that of a non-twin. The problem can be particularly severe in an underprivileged family, a one parent family for example, where there is little stimulation for children anyway. Such children, while capable of mutual comprehension in a private language, often remain incomprehensible to outsiders and thus at a severe educational disadvantage. The only solution to the problem, cruel though it may seem, is to separate the twins thus forcing them to acquire ordinary speech helped and guided by sympathetic parents and teachers.The following description is not accurate.
单选题A. twins can help each other~||~twins share each other’s emotion~||~twins are able to understand each other in a private language~||~twins communicate less with their parents

8.根据以下材料,回答40-43题 How men first learned to invent words is unknown;in other words,the origin of language is amystery.All we really know is that men,unlike animals,somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings,actions and things,so that they could communicate with each other;and that later they agreed upon certain signs,called letters,which could be combined to representthose sounds and which could be written down.Those sounds,whether spoken,or written in letters,we call words. The power of words,then,lies in their associations—the things they bring up before ourminds.Words become filled with meaning for us by experience;and the longer We live,the morecertain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past;and the more we read and learn,themore the number of words that mean something to us increases. Great writers are those who not oily have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in wordswhich appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions.This charming and telling use of words is whatwe call literary(文字的)style.AboVe all,the real poet is a master of Words.He can convey hismeaning in words which sing like music,and which by their position and association can move mento tears.We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accuratel3r,or they willmake our speech silly and rude.The real power of words exists in their..

9.It is customary for adults to forget how hard and dull and long school is. The learning by memory of all the basic things one must know is a most incredible and unending effort. Learning to read is probably the most difficult and revolutionary thing that happens to the human brain and if you don’t believe that, watch an illiterate adult try to do it. School is not easy and it is not for the most part very much fun, but then, if you are very lucky, you may find a real teacher. Three real teachers in a lifetime is the very best of my luck. My first was a science and math teacher in high school, my second, a professor of creative writing at Stanford, and my third was my friend and partner, Ed Ricketts. My three had these things in common: They all loved what they were doing. They did not tell; they catalyzed a burning desire to know. Under their influence, the horizons sprung wide and fear went away and the unknown became knowable. But most important of all, the truth, that dangerous stuff, became beautiful and very precious. I shall speak only of my first teacher because in addition to the other things, she brought discovery. She aroused us to shouting, book waving discussions. She had the noisiest class in school and she didn’t even seem to know it. We could never stick to the subject. Our speculation ranged the world. She breathed curiosity into us so that we brought in facts or truths shielded in our hands like captured fireflies. I can tell my son who looks forward with horror to fifteen years of drudgery that somewhere in the dusty dark a magic may happen that will light up the years if he is very lucky.Among his teachers, left him a very deep impression
单选题A. the university teacher~||~the high school teacher~||~Ed Ricketts~||~the first two teachers

11.Key James, Secretary of Health and Human Resources in the Virginia State government, loves to turn the tables on those who don't think it's possible to be middle-class, conservative, educated and still be truly black.Once, during an abortion debate, a woman in the audience angrily told James she was so middle-class she didn't have a clue about real African American life."If you understood what these women go through," the woman said, "you would realize that abortion is their only choice." James then asked the woman to consider a poor black mother on welfare.She already has four children and an alcoholic husband who has all but abandoned the family.Now she discovers another child is on the way."How would you counsel that woman?" asked James. "Have an abortion," the woman responded."That child would have a very poor quality of life."

19.Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is essential to one's life. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have been told,and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip. But for many people, the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure So despite all the efforts,they still take no breakfast.Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures could be obtained, the number of people who didn't have breakfast increased by 33%from 8.8 million to 11.7 million--according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America. For those who dislike eating breakfast,however, there is some good news.Several studies in the last few years have shownthat,for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. "Going withoutbreakfast does not affect work,"said Arnold E.Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, "nor does giving people breakfast improve work. " Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly inadequate(不充分) ,and most of the recent work involves children, not adults. "The literature," says one researcher, Dr. Earnest Polite at theUniversity of Texas, "is poor."Which is closest in meaning to the underlined part?
单选题A. Having breakfast does not improve work, either.~||~ Giving people breakfast improves work.~||~ Going without breakfast can improve work, too.~||~ Having breakfast does improve work.
