asked his opinion he said Capital punishment and life imprisonment are equally immoral If I were to make a choice between them I would rather choose the latter Anyway it s better to live than not to live at all A lively discussion followed A banker who was then younger and more nervous than the lawyer suddenly lost his temper and cried out It s a lie I bet you two million You wouldn t stick in a cell even for five years If you mean it replied the young lawyer I bet I ll stay there longer make it fifteen instead of five Fifteen Done cried the banker Gentleman I bet you two millions Agreed Two millions for my freedom said the lawyer So this wild ridiculous bet came to pass The banker could not hide his excitement During supper he said to the lawyer jokingly Come to your senses young man before it s too late Two millions are nothing to me but you stand to lose three or four of the best years of your life I say three or four because you ll never stick it out any longer Don t forget that voluntary imprisonment is much harder to put up with than a enforced one The idea that you have the right to free yourself any moment will poison your life in the cell I pity you And now the banker pacing from comer to comer recalled all this and asked himself Why did I make this bet What s the good The lawyer lost fifteen years of hi life and I threw away two millions Will it convince people that capital punishment is worse or better than imprisonment for life No no Rubbish On my part it was the caprice 心血来潮 of a well fed millionaire on the lawyer s part it s the pure greed c gold 21 The lawyer would choose life imprisonment because A he was younger than the banker B capital punishment was immoral C it was better than capital punishment D the banker would give him 200 000 22

before 5 years 25 In the end the banker considers his bet with the lawyer A rationalB reasonableC beneficialD unreasonable Passage Two 2005 年 10 月英语 二 3 Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage Online learning is also called distance education which helps students who take classes by computer over the Internet to learn certain courses and earn a degree And it has become more and more popular with both young people and educational institutions The School of Continuing and Professional Studies of New York University in Manhattan began online classes in 1992 Its Virtual School has taught more than 10 000 students from across the United States and other countries Last year the school launched NYU Online It offers NYU s first online Programs for a bachelor s degree Programs are offered in three areas leadership And management information systems management and social sciences The classes are highly interactive where students communicate with each other and their teachers Some classes require students to log in at the same time so they can attend live lectures by a professor Students can also ask questions and work together on team projects The cost to attend NYU Online depends on how many classes a student is to take It costs as much as fifteen thousand dollars a year NYU offers no financial aid for international students in this program If you are interested in the program you can gel more details at the website www nyu edu Many other schools too offer online education Students should be especially careful of programs that offer a degree in return for little or no work These are known as diploma mills and are illegal in the United States Educational advisers also say that before you enter any program make sure the work will be recognized in your country You should also make sure the schools you are considering are officially approved 26 The third paragraph is mainly about the of the programs of the School A academic goal and system B courses and learning mode C learning methods and classes D courses and requirements 27 It can be inferred from the passage that international students in the programs A get full scholarship B pay no tuition C get no financial support D earn more money 28 Many American schools offer online programs and international students A should be careful of being cheated B are certain to earn a degree C should know

following passage An understanding of man s effect on the balance of nature is crucial 关键的 to being able to find the appropriate remedial action It is a very common belief that the problems of the population explosion are caused mainly by poor people living in poor countries who do not know enough to limit their reproduction This is not true The actual number of people in an area is not as important as the effect they have on nature Developing countries do have an effect on their environment but it is the populations of richer countries that have a far greater impact on the earth as a whole For example tropical forests are known to be essential to the balance of nature yet we are destroying them at a great rate They are being cleared not to benefit the natives of that country but to satisfy the needs of rich countries Central American forests are being destroyed for grassland to make pet food in the United States cheaper in Papua slew Guinea forests are destroyed to supply cheaper cardboard packaging for Japanese electronic products in Burma and Thailand forests have been destroyed to produce more attractive furniture in Singapore and Hong Kong Therefore a rich person living thousands of miles away may cause more tropical forest destruction than a poor person living in the forest itself In short it is everybody s duty to safeguard the future of mankind not only through population control but by being more aware of the effect his actions have on nature Nature is both fragile and powerful It is very easily destroyed on the other hand it can easily destroy its most dangerous enemy man 31 According to the first paragraph people usually believe that A poor people in poor countries contribute to the imbalance of nature B rich people know how to protect the environment by taking actions C people in poor areas know a lot about the birth control D rich people in rich countries have done a lot to balance nature 32 In the author s opinion A developing countries should be responsible for environmental problems B overpopulation in the world is created by the developed countries C rich countries exercise worse influence on environment than poor countries D all countries should bring the population growth under control 33 The purpose of the second paragraph is mainly to illustrate A how the forests in the U S are being destroyed B which countries are the victims of the imbalance of nature C what Japan has done to develop its own economy D how South Asian countries make quality furniture 34 Nature is very easily destroyed by A rich peopleB poor people C natural disastersD mankind 35 The topic of the passage is that A the control of population is essential to the development of a nation B natural resources are important to the economic development of a country 2005 年 10 月英语 二 5 C awareness of the effects of man s actions is as important as population control D developed countries should do more to protect natural
