题目内容

A man is being questioned in relation to the ________ murder last night.

    A. advised         B. attended         C. attempted         D. admitted

C


解析:

此题考动词辨析，四个选项都是过去分词，空中缺定语，所以是过去分词作定语，表被动和完成。合理句意应是：一个人生在接受（警察）有关昨晚故意杀人事件的询问，attempt是“倾向，有意，企图”的意思，an attempted murder意为“有企图或有预谋的杀人”，故选C。空内所填的词应与murder有动宾关系。又如：a delayed flight（一次被推迟的航班），a newly-built park（一个新建的公园），人们可以推迟航班，新建公园，企图谋杀。其余三项均无法构成与murder的合理的动宾关系，故排除。

The telephone rang in the police station at Richmond, California, US. “     station? A train for Santa Fe collided (相撞) a    at the McDonald Street Crossing. Please come here at once. With an ambulance, too. A man is badly wounded,” said an anxious voice of a young woman.

  “OK. We’ll come soon. Please stay there and wait.” Replied the policeman.

  Within a minute, a police car and an ambulance     off. Soon they got to the crossing, but only to find everything was fine. No collision, no wounded man.

  “What a dirty     !” said the policeman angrily. “ We must find out that woman and…”

In the past, man did not have to think about protection of the environment. There were very few people on the earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited.

Today things are different. The world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources too quickly, and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, human life on the earth will not survive.

Everyone realizes today that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet, with modern fishing methods, more and more fish are caught. We know that if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear and nothing will grow on land. Yet, we continue to use more powerful machines to cut down more and more trees.

We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die. However, in most countries waste is still put into rivers, but there are few laws to stop this.

We also know that if the population of the countries in the world is to rise at the present rate in a few years, there will not be enough food.

What can we do to solve these problems?

If we eat more vegetables and less meat, there will be more food available for everyone. Land that is used to grow crops can feed five times more people than land where animals are kept.

Our natural resources will last longer if we learn to recycle them.

The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control.

Finally, if all of us think about the problem, we will have a better and cleaner planet in the future.

1.This passage mainly tells us about ______.

A. the problems we are facing today about environment and the ways to solve them

C. our rivers are being polluted by waste from factories

C. If we keep on cutting trees, forests will disappear.

D. We shouldn’t take more and more fish out of the sea, or there will soon be no fish left.

3.What is implied (暗示) in the passage?

A. Man is cleverer than any other animal.

B. Man will destroy himself if he doesn’t solve the problem.

C. Modern fishing methods are helpful in our fishing industry.

D. We should make more laws in order to survive.

4.From the passage we can see that the world’s natural resources ______.

A. will never be used up              B. are being polluted

From the health point of view we are living in an amazing age. We are free from many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once deadly illnesses can now be cured by modern medicine. It is almost certain that one day medicines will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased greatly. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the unbelievable killing of men, women and children on the roads. Man vs the motor-car! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing.

    Thousands of people all over the world are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.

    It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel(方向盘), his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man’s very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They say, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and completely selfish. Their hidden angers and disappointments seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving.

    The surprising thing is that society smiles so gently on the motorist and seems to forgive his behavior. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is ruined by road networks; and the deaths become nothing more than a number every year, to be easily forgotten.

    It is high time a world rule was created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are unbelievable lenient(宽容的) and even the strictest are not strict enough. A rule which was universally accepted could only have an obviously beneficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some of the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through strict tests for safety each year. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can damage a person’s driving ability. Present drinking and driving laws(where they exist) should be made much stricter. Speed limits should be required on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specifications for car factories, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stress power and performance should be banned. These measures may not sound good enough. But surely nothing should be considered as too severe if it results in reducing the number of deaths. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars.

One of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?

Listen—Listen when they are talking. Don’t say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes it’s not necessary for you to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.

Help them—If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don’t do everything they want you to do. Try to take an extra pencil or pen with you to classes in case they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need.

Be there for them—Be there for your friends to help make them feel better in hard times. Marilyn Monroe, a famous U.S. actor, once said, “I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am out of control, but if you can’t stay with me at my worst, you are sure not to deserve to be with me at my best.” Always remember this! If you don’t want to stay with your friends when they’re in hard times, then you don’t deserve to be with them when they’re having a good time!

_________—Try to make plans with your friends. Go shopping, go for ice cream, have a party, go to a movie and so on. Take time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy. By planning things together, you both can have a good time. And you’ll remember these things when you’re all old!
