D

There are three separate sources of danger in supplying energy by nuclear power (原子能)

    First, the radioactive material must travel from its place of production to the power station. Although the power stations themselves are strongly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are not. Normally, only two methods of transport are in use, namely road or rail. Unfortunately, both of these may have an effect on the general public, since they are sure to pass near, or even through, heavily populated areas.

   Second, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these wastes non-radioactive, and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented. For example, they may be buried under the ground, or dropped into deserted mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily break the containers.

   Third, there may occur the danger of a leak(泄漏) or an explosion at the power station. As with the other two dangers, this is not very likely, so it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program. However, it can happen.

   Separately, these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry. Taken together, though, the probability of disaster(灾难) is extremely high.

71. Which of the following is FALSE?

   A. It is possible that a leak or an explosion occurs at a power station.

   B. It is unusual for radioactive materials to be transported across land.

   C. The containers are likely to be broken by an earthquake.

   D. Nuclear wastes remain dangerous in most cases for many years.

72. The author thinks that the ways to store nuclear wastes are ＿＿＿ .

   A. easy      B. impossible        C. reasonable      D. ineffective

73. What do we learn from the last paragraph?

   A. The power station is a safe place.

   B. The dangers of nuclear energy can be prevented.

   C. The general public are strongly against the nuclear program.

   D. By itself, none of the three dangers is very likely to cause much worry.

74. What is this passage about?

A.Uses of nuclear power.                B.Dangers from nuclear power.

C.Public anger at nuclear power.          D.Accidents caused by nuclear power.

75. As for the possible dangers of nuclear power, ______.

   A. none of them can be completely avoided

   B. effective measures have been taken to avoid them

   C. man will never be able to do anything about them

   D. one is usually the cause of another

71. B 72. D 73. D 74. B 75. A

　　Getting paid to talk about the World Cup is a great job I’m not a football commentator(评论员),though-just an English teacher in japan．

　　I came to japan two years ago, and didn't think I would stay, but japan has that effect on you. People after endup tiving bere longer than they planned

I think it’s best to teach in a biggest eity where there are onther foreigners to mix with. Rather than a small town where English teachers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bovd Many people choose to live in Tokyo, of course, which is good for the nightlife factor. But I’d say that for geueral quality of living, cities of neither too large nor too small, like Sapporo where I live, are better choices．

　　I teach English privately, which means I’m my own boss. If you want to devote yourself to private teaching, it’s well worth doing a TEFL eourse first. Beeause your lessons will be much better for it. The problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule(日程表)of private lessons, so I started out teaching in schools part time．

　　Most of my foreign friends here work full-time for big English conversation schools. The salary is fine to live on. But whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here．

　　The schools are reluetam to take time off –even teachers with tichets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off．

Amanda Clement grew up in Hudson，South Dakota．Baseball was always her fa—
vorite sport．Once in a while her brother Hank and his friends would let her play first
base in their games．More often，however，they asked her to umpire(裁判)for them，

Hank play for the home team against Hawarden．When they arrived at the ball field，
two local teams were waiting to play a preliminary(预备)game．The umpire hadn’t ar—
rived，so Hank argued that the teams should let his sister serve as umpire．The players
finally agreed．
Amanda，then sixteen and standing five feet，ten inches tall，made perfect calls．
She was so good that players for the main game asked her 10 umpire for them and even
offered to pay her．Thus，at sixteen，Amanda Clement became the first paid female
baseball umpire on record．She is honored in the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown，
New York．
