16、d A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET. Passage One Of all the foods we know, fruit is one of the most healthful. It is also one of the most tasty foods. Almost everyone enjoys fruit. Fruit is grown in almost every part of the
17、 world. There are hundreds of different kinds of fruits. And there are thousands of different varieties. In the United States alone, there are several hundred types of apples.In general thought, there are separate groups. There are tropical fruits. These are most important. In this group, we have ba
18、nanas and pineapples. They are shipped from tropical countries and are eaten all over the world.Next come the subtropical fruits. The most important of these are the citrus (柑 橘 属 果 树 ) fruits. Oranges, tangerines (柑 橘 ), limes (酸 橙 ), and grapefruit are favorites. Other fruits in this class are fig
19、s, dates, and olives.The last group comes from the temperate zone. In this group are pears, apples, grapes, and plums. Many kinds of berries fit this group, too. Fruits are very important to the human diet. Besides being tasty, they provide important acids, salts, and vitamins. Also, they are easy t

22、 tastePassage Two Most people who bother with the matter at all would admit that the English language is in a bad way, but it is generally assumed that we cannot by conscious action do anything about it. Our civilization is decadent (堕 落 的 ) and our language so the argument runs must inevitably shar
23、e in the general collapse. It follows that any struggle against the abuse of language is a sentimental archaism (拟古), like preferring candles to electric light or handsome cabs to airplanes. Underneath this lies the half conscious belief that language is a natural growth and not an instrument which
24、we shape for our own purposes.Now it is clear that the decline of a language must ultimately have political and economical causes: it is not due to the bad influence of this or that individual writer. But an effect can become a cause, reinforcing the original cause and producing the same effect in a
25、n intensified form, and so on indefinitely. A man may take to drink because he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the more completely because he drinks. It is rather the same thing that is happening to the English language. It becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolis
26、h, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts. The point is that the process is reversible. Modern English, especially written English, is full of bad habits which spread by imitation and which can be avoided if one is willing to take 河南专升本网 提供下载 河南专升本网（） 最大

If one gets rid of these habits one can think more clearly, and to think clearly is a necessary first step towards political revival: so that the fight against bad English is not foolish and is not the exclusive concern of professional writers.36.

32、Passage ThreeReading is not the only way to acquire knowledge of preceding work. There is another large reservoir which may be called experience, and the college student will find that every craftsman has something he can teach and will generally teach gladly to any college student who does not look
33、 down upon them with ill concealed disdain. The information from these quarters differs from that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical part the explanations of why things happen is frequently quite fantastic. But the demonstration and report of what happens, and how it happens, ar
34、e sound even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms. Presently the college student will learn, in this case also, what to accept and what to reject. One important thing for a college student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman, so can he.Another source of knowle
35、dge is the vast store of traditional practices handed down from father to son, or mother to daughter, of old country customs, of folklore. All this is very difficult for a college student to explore, for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants from wild weeds. T
36、he college student should learn to realize and remember how much of real value science has found in this wide, confused wilderness and how often scientific discoveries turned out to be rediscoveries of what had existed in this wilderness long ago.41. The phrase “this wide, confused wilderness” in pa

41、. why to learn from the craftsman D. how to deal with experiencePassage FourThe problem of what to do with atomic waste, the harmful unwanted products of atomic energy, is being studied by many scientific minds.Large atomic reactors produce harmful radioactive elements at the same time that they pro
42、duce energy. The atomic waste is so powerful that it will be a danger for centuries. What can be done with it? Where can it be placed so that it will not harm human beings? No one now has the final answer, but hundreds of scientists are searching for it.What would you do with radioactive atomic wast
43、e? Mix it with water and pour it in the ocean? You would not do that if you lived near the water. A box the size of a package of cigarettes would hold the radioactive waste produced by an atomic reactor in five minutes. If you poured it into a body of water more than one hundred miles long and about
44、 fifteen miles wide, this small amount of atomic waste could be discovered by a Geiger counter anywhere within its harbors and bays in less than twenty-four hours. This shows the great size of the problem of what to do with atomic waste. Atomic waste cannot be burned, boiled away, or made harmless b
45、y mixing it with other minerals. We are not working with a substance that can be destroyed. We are trying to destroy energy, and that is impossible. The only thing we can do is to keep the waste in a place where it will be harmless.Throwing it into the ocean is one method that has been tried. Atomic
46、 waste is placed in metal barrels that are then put in containers as thick and strong as stone. The cases are taken to the deepest part of the ocean and thrown in. For several reasons, however, throwing the atomic waste into the ocean is not a final answer to the problem. First, the cost of preparin
47、g the double containers and taking them to sea is very great. Second, it is not known how long these strong cases can endure the deep ocean currents. How long will it be before the metal and stone cases are broken open by the force of the water? How great a danger will the atomic waste be when it es
48、capes into the deep ocean.46. Which of the following describes the authors purpose in writing the above passage?A. To explain and inform. B. To question and criticize.河南专升本网 提供下载 河南专升本网（） 最大的河南专升本网上交流平台 。 - 6 -C. To amuse and entertain. D. None of the above.47.
