(阅读理解)(15%)Passage 1Questions 66 to70 are based on the following passage:It is often claimed that nuclear energy is something we cannot do without. We live in a consumer society where there is an enormous demand for comm
29、ercial products of all kinds. Moreover, an increase in industrial production is considered to be one solution to the problem of mass unemployment. Such an increase presumes an abundant and cheap energy supply. Many people believe that nuclear energy provides an inexhaustible and economical source of
30、 power and that it is therefore essential for an industrially developing society. There are a number of other advantages in the use of nuclear energy. Firstly, nuclear power, except for accidents, is clean. A further advantage is that a nuclear power station can be run and maintained by relatively f
31、ew technical and administrative staff. The nuclear reactor represents an enormous step in our scientific evolution and, whatever the anti-nuclear group says, it is wrong to expect a return to more primitive sources of fuel. However, opponents of nuclear energy point out that nuclear power stations b
32、ring a direct threat not only to the environment but also to civil liberties.Furthermore, it is questionable whether ultimately nuclear power is a cheap source of energy. There have, for example, been very costly accidents in America, in Britain and, of course, in Russia. The possibility of increase
33、s in the cost of uranium (铀) in addition to the cost of greater safety provisions could price nuclear power out of the market. In the long run, environmentalists argue, nuclear energy wastes valuable resources and disturbs the ecology to an extent which could bring about the destruction of the human
34、 race. Thus, if we wish to survive, we cannot afford nuclear energy. In spite of the case against nuclear energy outlined above, nuclear energy programs are expanding. Such an expansion assumes a continual growth in industrial production and consumer demands. However, it is doubtful whether this gro
35、wth will or can continue. Having weighed up the arguments on both sides, it seems there are good economic and ecological reasons for sources of energy other than nuclear power. 66. The advocates of nuclear energy claim that nuclear energy is _.A) extremely dangerousB) vital in our societyC) exhausti
36、ble and expensiveD) primitive and cheap67.Some people think that nuclear energy is essential because _.A) there is a serious shortage of manpower B) it provides a perfect solution to mass unemploymentC) it is impossible to return to more primitive sources of fuel D) it can meet the growing demand of
37、 an industrially developing society 68.Which of the following statements does the writer support? A) The demand for commercial products will not necessarily keep increasing.B) Uranium is a good source of energy for economic and ecological reasons.C) Nuclear energy provides an inexhaustible and econo
38、mical source of power.D) Greater safety provisions can bring about the expansion of nuclear energy programs.69.The function of the last sentence is to _.A) reflect the writers attitudeB) advance the final argumentC) reverse previously expressed thoughtsD) show the disadvantages of nuclear power70. W
39、hat is the writers attitude toward nuclear energy?A) Indifferent.B) Favorable.C) Tolerant.D) Critical.Passage 2Questions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage:There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just t
40、o five children something to do. In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers.
41、This is true because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world. What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly
42、 in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology. It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all part of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, the Americas, China, Japan and among the Arctic (北极的) peoples, generally the same kinds of t
43、oys appeared. Variations depended on local customs and ways of life because toys imitate their surroundings. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles. Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to techn
44、ological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use. The progress from the wheel to the oxcart to the automobile is a direct line of ascent (进步). The progress from a rattle(拨浪鼓)used by a baby in 3000 BC to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness. Each rattle is the product of the ar
