war is an ancient practice which has existed for at least six thousand years. it was always bad and usually foolish, but in the past, the human race managed to live with it. modern cleverness has changed this. either man will end the existence of war, or war will end the existence of man. for the present, it is nuclear weapons (核武器) that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. if we succeeded in ending the existence of nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. it will never be done until we have succeeded in ending war. to do this, we need to persuade mankind to look up on international problems in a new way not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful inkilling people, but by settling in accordance with agreed rules of law. it is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted. there are those who say that the acceptance of this or that ideology (意识形态) would prevent war. i believe this to be a big mistake. all ideologies are based upon dogmatic statements (强词夺理) which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. their supporters believe in them so deeply that they are willing to go to war in support of them.the movement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome. it has become a commonplace that nuclear war must be avoided. of course very difficult problems remain in the world, but the spirit in which they are coming nearer to is a better one than it was some years ago. it has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. it has begun to be understood that the important struggle nowadays is not between different countries but between man and the atom bomb. 1. this passage implies that war is now_. a. worse than in the past b. as bad as in the past c. not as dangerous as in the past d. as necessary as in the past 答案: a 指导：由文中第一段第六行forthepresent, it isnuclear weapons thatcausethemost seriousdanger，but bacteriological or chemical weapons may，before long，offer and even greater可知a为正确答案。2. in the sentence to do this, we need to persuade mankind. ( paragraph 1 ) ,this refers to_. a. to end the existence of war b. to improve weapons c. to solve international problems d. to live a peaceful life 答案: a 指导：由this的指代作用，要么是上面提到的东西，要么是下文马上要提到的东西，所以在此处应该是上文提到的endingway，因此a为最佳选项。3. from paragraph 2 we learn that the writer of the passage_. a. is a supporter of some modern ideologies b. does not think that the acceptance of any ideologies could prevent war c. believes that the acception of some ideologies could prevent war d. does not doubt the truth of any ideologies 答案: b 指导；由文章第二段第二行“ibe lievet his to leabigmis take可知作者持怀疑态度，故b为最佳选项。4. according to the writer,_. a. war is the only way to solve intemational arguments b. war will be less dangerous because of the improvement of weapons c. it is impossible for people to live without war d. war must be ended if man wants to survive (生存) 答案：d 指导：由文中第一段第五行eithermanwillendtheexis tence of war，orwarwill end the existence of man可知d为正确答案。 lockers(储物柜)have been the symbol of american high school for decades. but walk down any hallway of the new germantown high school in madison county, mississippi, and you wont spot a single locker. new technology such as e-books, interactive(互动的)assignments and web-based learning is making lockers in american high school a thing of the past. officials from schools that have listed several benefits: less noise, less delay and an increased sense of safety. “its all to create an environment thats student-friendly”, said ronnie mcgehee, chief official of the madison county school district.getting rid of lockers can also cut hundreds of thousands in construction costs. madison county saved $200,000 by not including lockers in the new high school, mc gehee said.it is also believed that removing lockers could help prevent school violence. ”lockers give kids a place to hide things”, said mike nelson, founder of a safety- training group. nelson believes that some school shootings and other incidents could have been prevented if there had been no lockers.however, andrew booth, a 10th-grader at gemantown high, said there are some disadvantages of not having a locker. “ it can make your book bag really heavy”, he said . the 16-year-old has four textbooks “plus notebooks and a binder(活页夹)” to carry to school each day.he said some teachers have shelves at the back of the classroom on which students can leave their bags. others provide an extra set of textbooks in the classroom, so students dont have to carry books from home.new york architect pestr lippman said schools will have to address such concerns and find ways to give studets a “sense of space” “if you are carrying books around, it does limit your flexibility in the classrooms,” he said.lippman said he would like to see schools starting to use the new free space to provide less structured learning opprtunities for students, including gathering areas and learning centers. “if you think about a school with just rows of lockers-theres nowhere for learning opportunitie
