early morning cup of tea, packed a small case and was never seen or heard from again. eileen was astonished and in a state of despair. they had been a happy family and, as far as she knew, there had been nothing wrong with their marriage. every day of the year a small group of men and women quietly pack a few belongings and, without so much as a note or a good-bye, close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts, their worries and their confused families behind them. last year, more than 1,200 men and nearly as many women were reported missing from home - the highest in 15 years. many did return home within a year, but others rejected the past completely and are now living a new life somewhere under a different identity. to those left behind this form of desertion is a terrible blow to their pride and self- confidence. even the finality of death might be preferable. at least it does not imply rejection or failure. worse than that, people can be left with an unfinished marriage, not knowing whether they will have to wait seven years before they are free to start a fresh life. clinical psychologist paul brown believes most departures of this kind to be well planned rather than impulsive(冲动). “its typical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore other peoples pain and difficulties. running away, like killing yourself, is a highly aggressive act. by creating an absence the people left behind feel guilty, upset and empty.” 28. when her husband left home, eileen doyle _.a. could not forgive him for taking the children b. had been expecting it to happen for some timec. could not understand why d. blamed herself for what had happened29. most people who leave their families behind them _.a. do so without warning b. do so because of their debtsc. come back immediately d. change their names30. some people would even prefer the death to the running away of their spouse because _.a. their spouse would feel no pain during the deathb. their spouse death would not be a bit terriblec. a desertion would not bring a feeling of rejection or failured. their spouses death would make them feel less painful31. usually the man or woman left behind with an unfinished marriage _.a. admits responsibility for the situation b. wishes the person who has left were deadc. will come back within a year d. will have no legal marriage

nature.”ridley calls himself a rational optimistrational, because hes carefully weighed the evidence; optimistic, because that evidence shows human progress to be both unavoidable and good. and this is what hes set out to prove from a unique point of view in his most recent book, the rational optimist. he views mankind as a grand enterprise that, on the whole, has done little but progress for 100,000 years. he backs his findings with hard facts gathered through years of research.heres how he explains his views.1 ) shopping fuels inventionit is reported that there are more than ten billion different products for sale in london alone. even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty, our own generation has access to more nutritious food, more convenient transport, bigger houses, better cars, and, of course, more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us. this will continue as long as we use these things to make other things. the more we specialize and exchange, the better off well be.2) brilliant advancesone reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longerlived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needsfood, clothing, fuel and shelterhave grown a lot cheaper. take one example. in 1800, a candle providing one hours light cost six hours work. in the 1880s, the same light from an oil lamp took 15 minutes work to pay for. in 1950 it was eight seconds. today its half second.3) lets not kill ourselves for climate changemitigating (减轻) climate change could prove just as damaging to human welfare as climate change itself. a child that dies from indoor smoke in a village, where the use of fossilfuel (化石燃料) electricity is forbidden by wellmeaning members of green political movements trying to save the world, is just as great a tragedy as a child that dies in a flood caused by climate change. if climate change proves to be mild, but cutting carbon causes real pain, we may well find that we have stopped a nosebleed by putting a tourniquet (止血带) around our necks.68. what is the theme of ridleys most recent book?a. weakness of human nature. b. concern about climate change.c. importance of practical thinking. d. optimism about human progress.69. how does ridley look at shopping?a. it encourages the creation of things. b. it results in shortage of goods.c. it demands more fossil fuels. d. it causes a poverty problem.70. the candle and lamp example is used to show that _.a. oil lamps give off more light than candlesb. shortening working time brings about a happier lifec. advanced technology helps to produce better candlesd. increased production rate leads to lower cost of goods71. what does the last sentence of the passage imply?a. cutting carbon is necessary in spite of the huge cost.b. overreaction to climate change may be dangerous.c. peoples health is closely related to climate change.d. careless medical treatment may cause great pain.dlondons newest skyscraper(摩天大楼) is called the shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build. at a height of almost 310 metres，it is the tallest building in europe. the shard has completely changed the appearance of london. however，not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.the shard was designed by the famous italian architect renzo piano. when he began designing the shard for london，piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire(尖顶)he wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city. the sides of the building arent regular. so the building has an unusual shape. it looks like a very thin，sharp piece of broken glass. and that is how the building got the name：the shard.piano says that the spire shape of the shard is part of a great london tradition. the shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of london or the tall masts(桅杆) of the ships that were once on the river thames.the shard has 87 floors. at the top，there is an observatory. at the moment the building is empty，but eventually there will be a fivestar hotel. there will also be top quality restaurants，apartments and offices.before building work began，a lot of people didnt want the shard though the plans were approved. now they are still unhappy about the shard. some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like new york，but not in london. they say that the best thing about the shard is its spire shape. but that is the only thing. there is no decoration，only flat surfaces. the egyptians did that 4,500 years ago. they also think the shard is too big for london. it destroys the beauty of the city.other critics dont like what the shard seems to represent. they say that the shard shows how london is becoming more unequal. only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel. but the people who live near the shard are among the poorest in london. so the shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.the shard now dominates the london skyline. it is not certain，however，that ordinary london citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city.32londons newest skyscraper is called the shard
