22、 high levels of air pollution. Schools were shut and emergency traffic restrictions put in place. New Delhi is far from alone. Our research into the _31_ of air pollution in China shows that, in addition to the more obvious physical price, air pollution can also have serious negative effects on ment
23、al health and cognition (认知), _32_ reducing a persons happiness and their scores in verbal and mathematical tests.Such harmful mental effects have serious negative consequences for livelihoods and human capital development, suggesting that development _33_ should go beyond the traditional focus of b

26、 WHOs air quality guidelines.Indias extreme levels of air pollution are well recognized, and examining the effects provides clear warnings for other countries seeking fast growth through rapid industrialization.We used nationally _38_ longitudinal (纵向) surveys on mental health and cognition, matched
27、 with daily air quality data for the time and place of interviews, to see what pollution does in a given time to individual happiness and cognitive performance. Because each person in our survey was _39_ multiple times, we can control for the effect of individual characteristics on the outcome varia
28、bles.We found that worsening air quality led to a decrease in happiness that day _40_ to about 10 percent of the reduced happiness one would experience from a negative major life event such as divorce. III. Reading ComprehensionSection A 15%Directions: For each blank in the following passage there a
29、re four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Globalization: Good or Bad?Globalization is defined in many ways. One simple _41_ is that it is the rapid increase in international free trade, investment, and technological exchange.
30、 It is argued that this international trade has been one of the main causes of world economic _42_ over the past half century. Although there is little doubt that the global economy has developed enormously in the last 50 years, some people believe that this trend has only benefited certain countrie
31、s, and that others have suffered as a result.Improved income? An argument _43_ globalization is that the benefits of increased international trade are shared among everyone in the country. An example of this is China, where per capita income (人均收入) rose from about $1400 in 1980 to over $4000 by 2000
32、. _44_, per capita income rose by over 100% in India between 1980 and 1996. It would appear that countries which open their doors to world trade tend to become _45_.However, these sorts of _46_ might not be giving a true picture. They are “average”, and despite the fact that there has been a substan
33、tial increase in income for a small minority of people, the vast majority have only seen a _47_ improvement. More imports, more exports Supporters of free trade point out that there is another direct benefit to be gained from an increase in international trade: exports _48_ imports. Take coffee as a
34、n example. Countries which produce and export coffee import the packaging for it: a(n) _49_ trade which enables commerce to develop in two countries at the same time._50_ maintain that, in general, it is poorer countries that produce and export food such as coffee, and richer countries that produce
35、and export manufactured goods such as packaging materials. Furthermore, it is the richer countries that control the price of goods and, _51_, farmers may be forced to sell their produce at a low price and to buy manufactured goods at a high price._52_ development Finally, globalization often _53_ a
36、country to concentrate on industries which are already successful. These countries develop expertise (专门技能) and increase their share in the international market. On the other hand, those countries which _54_ to support all their industries usually do not develop expertise in any one. Consequently, t
37、hese countries do not find a world market for their goods and do not increase their gross domestic product (GDP). Anti-globalists claim that there is a serious problem in this argument for the _55_ of industry. Countries which only concentrate on one or two main industries are forced to import other
38、 goods. These imported goods are frequently overpriced, and these countries, therefore, have a tendency to accumulate huge debts. 41. A. indication B. principle C. definition D. factor42.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the
42、 passage you have just read.(A)The Harlem RenaissanceThe word “renaissance” means “rebirth.” The Harlem Renaissance took place during the 1920s. It was a time when the African American artistic community grew and flourished, producing a ton of work in a short period of time. The work celebrated Afri
43、can American culture and spoke to their experiences as minorities both the good parts and the bad parts. After the Civil War, many African Americans left the South to escape unfair treatment and laws that discriminated against them. Between 1910 and 1920, massive numbers of black Southerners moved f
44、rom the rural south into the urban North and West in the Great Migration. The African American population of Chicago more than doubled during that time! And in New York, African Americans flocked to uptown Manhattan, settling in a neighborhood called Harlem. Forming a community within the big city l
45、et African Americans keep their cultural identity in a white-dominated society. It was a good thing, and a lot of important cultural issues were brought to light during the Harlem Renaissance. One of the most important figures of the time was the African American writer, W.E.B. Du Bois. In his book,
46、 The Souls of Black Folk, in 1903, Du Bois wrote that African Americans suffered from something called “double consciousness”. They had their own self-image while they saw themselves through the eyes of white Americans. And performers like Josephine Baker and Paul Robeson brought African American cu
47、lture to all New Yorkers. The Renaissance was so influential that “Harlem” grew into something of a brand name.African Americans were pushing boundaries across all aspects of society. Black businesses began to flourish, creating a growing middle class, like Madame C.J. Walker, who turned her cosmeti
48、cs line into a million dollar empire. All together, the artists, and thinkers of this period helped mobilize the larger black population. Young African-Americans took advantage of improved access to higher education. This opened up new career paths and opportunities to attain advanced degrees. Perha
49、ps most importantly, people black and white began the push for racial integration, planting the seeds of what would eventually become the civil rights movement of the 1960s. 56. Why did many African Americans leave the South after the Civil War?A. To escape slavery. B. To find jobs in agriculture.C. To avoid racial discrimination. D. To gain citizenship.57. How did W.E.B. Du Bois contribute to the Harlem Renaissance?A. He led
