A. identify B. interests C. more D. blame E. seriousAB. joking AC. less AD. increasing AE. emphasis BC. on purpose Im afraid we have to accept the fact that criminals are getting younger all the time. But unfortunately the offences they commit are becoming proportionately (成比例地) more _41_. I only wish we didnt have to admit this, but, in doing so, we must first ask ourselves whats wrong with our society where our children apparently couldnt care _42_ about law and order.The days of the sneak thief(顺手牵羊的小偷) who stole a couple of apples off a basket or a packet of sweets from chain store are nearly over. I have occasion to say this to a young offender the other day, “Sweets from a chain store?” he said, “You must be _43_. Thats kids stuff.” I may add that he was aged eleven. In other words, todays young criminals would find it laughable to risk being caught for petty theft of this description. Theyve got enough money in their pockets to buy the sweets they want. Anyway, I think we have come to the point where its all too easy to put the _44_ on anyone but ourselves.Faced as they are with a society that frequently rejects them on the grounds of color, race or low academic ability, these children turn to crime as a means of _45_ their self-admiration. Nurtured on films and TV glamorizing(美化) the role of the criminal, they are quick to _46_ with these anti-heroes. It is a matter of rising concern to the police that the Children and Young Person Act, 1969, is becoming inadequate to deal with the rise in juvenile delinquency（青少年犯罪）. Because the _47_ has been placed on the cause and treatment of their delinquency, rather than on the old-fashioned methods of punishment, the children themselves are well aware that there is very little that can be done to prevent them continuing to rob, do damage _48_ and in some case even cause the death of those they choose to terrorize. I dont like the look of this situation any more than you do. In our own _49_ and in those of our children and grandchildren, we cannot continue to take the “its nothing to do with me” attitude we have adopted for so long. We must unite in a common demand for stricter and more disciplined methods against these young offenders.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. A true apology is more than just acknowledgement of a mistake. Its recognition that something youve said or done has damaged a relationship and that you _50_ enough about the relationship to want it _51_.Its never _52_ to acknowledge you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need the art of apology. Look back and think how _53_ youve judged roughly, said unkind things, pushed yourself ahead at the 54 of a friend. Some deep thought in us know that when _55_ a small mistake has been made, your feeling will stay out of balance until the mistake is acknowledged and your regret is _56_.I remember a doctor friend, telling me about a man who came to him with _57_ illnesses: headache, insomnia (失眠), stomachaches and so on. No physical _58_ could be found. Finally the doctor said to him, “_59_ you tell me whats on your conscience, I cant help you.”After a short silence, the man told the doctor that he _60_ all the money that his father gave to his brother, who was _61_. His father had died, so only he himself knew the matter. The old doctor made the man write to his brother making an _62_ and enclosing a _63_. In the post office, the man dropped the letter into the mail box. As the letter disappeared, the man burst into tears. “Thank you, doctor,” he said, “I think Im all right now.” And he _64_.50.

In the twenty years that the Clean Air Act has mandated(强制执行) unleaded gas use in the United States, the lead accumulation worldwide has decreased significantly.A study published recently in the journal Nature shows that air-borne leaded gas emissions from the United States were the leading contributor to the high concentration of lead in the snow in Greenland. The new study is a result of the continued research led by Dr. Charles Boutron, an expert on the impact of heavy metals on the environment at the National Center for Scientific Research in France. A study by Dr. Boutron published in 1991 showed that lead levels in arctic (北极的) snow were declining.In his new study, Dr. Boutron found the ratios of the different forms of lead in the leaded gasoline used in the United States were different from the ratios of European, Asian and Canadian gasolines and thus enabled scientists to differentiate (区分) the lead sources. The dominant lead ratio found in Greenland snow matched that found in gasoline from the United States.In a study published in the journal Ambio, scientists found that lead levels in soil in the Northeastern United States had decreased markedly since the introduction of unleaded gasoline.Many scientists had believed that the lead would stay in soil and snow for a longer period.The authors of the Ambio study examined samples of the upper layers of soil taken from the same sites of 30 forest floors in New England, New York and Pennsylvania in 1980 and in 1990. The forest environment processed and redistributed the lead faster than the scientists had expected.Scientists say both studies demonstrate that certain parts of the ecosystem (生态系统) respond rapidly to reductions in atmospheric pollution, but that these findings should not be used as a license to pollute.72. The study published in the journal Nature indicates that _.A. the Clean Air Act has not produced the desired resultsB. lead deposits in arctic snow are on the increaseC. lead will stay in soil and snow longer than expectedD. the US is the major source of lead pollution in arctic snow73. Lead accumulation worldwide decreased significantly after the use of unleaded gas in the US _.A. was discouragedB. was enforced by lawC. was prohibited by lawD. was introduced74. How did scientists discover the source of lead pollution in Greenland?A. By analyzing the data published in journals like Nature and Ambio.B. By observing the lead accumulations in different parts of the arctic area.C. By studying the chemical elements of soil and snow in Northeastern America.D. By comparing the chemical compositions of leaded gasoline used in various countries.75. The authors of the Ambio study have found that _.A. forests get rid of lead pollution faster than expectedB. lead accumulations in forests are more difficult to deal withC. lead deposits are widely distributed in the forests of the USD. the upper layers of soil in forests are easily polluted by lead emissionsSection CDirections: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from AF for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. A. A sense of humor is not an inborn ability.B. A sense of humor can be developed in our life.C. A sense of humor helps us from several aspects.D. A sense of humor means more than telling jokes.E. A sense of humor can be expressed in many ways.AB. A sense of humor helps people to better enjoy life.76. _As awareness of the benefits of humor increases , most of us want to get all the laughs we can. It seems that almost every day there is another new discovery about the power of humor to help us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Every system of the body responds to laughter in some important or positive way.77. _Many people mistakenly believe that we are born with a sense of humour. They think that when it comes to a sense of humour, either you have got it or you dont. This is false! What is true, however, is that the ability to laugh and smile is actually something we are born with. For example, we laugh when we are tickled under the arm, even without thinking about how to react.78._The parts of the brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling are mature at birth in human infants, but that is not the same thing as having a sense of humour. (After all, when a baby laughs in his small bed we dont rush over and say, That kid has a great sense of humour!) Your sense of humor is something you can develop over a lifetime. Dont be nervous before others and try to laugh at yourself - then you will make them laugh too.79. _Humor includes a lot more than laughing and joke telling. Many people worry needlessly that they do not have a good sense of humor because they are not good joke tellers. More than jokes, a sense of humor requires being willing and able to see the funny side of lifes situations as they happen. In fact, one of the best definitions (定义) of a sense of humor is the ability to see the nonserious element in a situation.80. _There may be a thousand different ways to express your sense of humour, but joke telling is only one of those ways. As more is
