Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. Text 1 Paul Johnsons A History Of The American Peop

15、le is what we have come to expect from this productive writerclear, colorful narrative, vivid character sketches, marvelous research, sweeping, confident statements, and an insistent conservative viewpoint which tempts him into serious omissions. He will not conceal his opinions, he tells us. Good.

16、Then we can judge his,history free of pretences to objectivityhis or ours. Almost at start, we notice something interesting: Johnson passes quickly over a defining moment in American historythe Columbus storyimportant because it is the first lesson every American schoolchild learns. How you treat th

17、at storywhat you choose to tell of itsignals your view of the longer American experience, reaching to our time. In school textbooks, Columbus has always been presented as a hero. Only recently has a new set of factsalways available but ignoredbegun to get into public attention: that Columbus, on lan

18、ding, and desperate for gold, encountered native Americans who were peaceful and generous (by his own admission) and tortured them, kidnapped them, enslaved them, murdered them. Johnson, who goes into much detail about other matters (like Ronald Reagans jokes) is silent on this. Among his numerous r

19、eferences there is none to Bartolome de las Casas, an eyewitness, who described in detail the horrifying evils committed by Columbus and his fellowmen against the Indians, which resulted in the native population of Hispaniola being wiped outgenocide is an appropriate termby the year 1550.,I suggest

20、this is not an innocent omission. Johnson wants us to look positively on the history of the United States. Yes, he says, there were “severe wrongs” committed in “the dispossession of a native people” and in the institution of slavery. But has the US, he asks at the start of his book, “made up for it

21、s organic sins”? His whole book suggests that it has, and that in doing so it has become (he says at the end) “a human achievement without parallel the first, best hope for the human race”. Since Johnson has decided that the US is “the first, best hope for the human race”, he has shaped its history

22、accordingly. If we prefer to see that history as a complex and unfinished struggle of Americans for justice, against militarism, for economic, racial and sexual equality, we are badly served by a flattering admiration of those in power, pretending to be a history of“the people”. 41The first paragrap

23、h shows that the authors opinion of the book A History Of The American People is A critical. B objective. C defensive. D admiring.,42The way people have been treating Columbus story indicates their view of A the American school education. B great heroes in American history. C the development of Amer

24、ican history. D the American society at present. 43The book makes no reference to Bartolome de las Casas probably because Paul Johnson A is a writer fond of omissions. B isnt tempted to make references. C bears an inborn hatred for horrifying evils. D doesnt want to see the image of the US stained.

25、44The word “genocide” (Line 8, Paragraph 3) most probably means A killing of people of a particular race. B drivingout of native inhabitants. C extinction of a whole generation. D assimilation of ethnic groups.,45The author would agree with the statement that the US A has compensated the natives for

26、 their earlier sufferings. B has never committed serious evils to the natives in history. C has not undone the wrongs committed in history. D has become the best hope for the human race. Text 2 In the 21st century theres no doubt that frightening new infectious diseases will appear. Today new viruse

27、s are coming out of nature and “discovering” the human species. Just since 1994, at least 30 new viruses have appeared. Viruses are moving into the human species because there are more of us all the time. From a virus point of view, we look like a free lunch thats getting bigger. In nature viral dis

28、eases tend to break out when populations increase rapidly and become densely packed. Then many deaths occur and the population drops. This is natures populationcontrol mechanism. There is no reason to think the human race is free from the laws of nature.,Giving these laws an extra push will be the r

29、ise of megacitieshuge densely packed cities in less developed nations. A United Nations study predicts that by the year 2015, there will be 26 extremely big cities on the planet. By then, some megacities could have 30 million or more people. That is approximately the total population of California.

30、Imagine all the people in California crowded together tightly into one vast city. Then remove most doctors and medical care, take away basic sanitation and hygiene, and you have a biological “time bomb”. Now make eight or ten such “bombs” and plant them around the world. Also consider the biological

31、 weapons the world will be capable of producing in the future. The 20th century saw the creation of great and terrible weapons based on the principles of nuclear physics. The 21st century will see great and terrible weapons based on the knowledge of DNA and the genetic code. As biotechnology becomes

32、 more sophisticated and powerful, biologists will learn how to mix genes of different microbes to create unnatural strains that can be turned into deadly, effective weapons.,Biological weapons are a disgrace to biology. Most biologists havent wanted to talk or even think about them. The physicists l

33、ost their innocence when the first nuclear bomb went off in 1945.The biologists will lose their innocence when the first biological weapon spreads through the human species. Yet the 20th century survived despite the existence of the nuclear bomb. There was great economic and scientific progress and

34、much human happiness. The same can be true in the next century. We may not completely win the 21st century microbe war, but I am confident that we wont lose it. 46Infectious diseases are more likely to occur where A different human races are mixed in living. B many people live in crowded communities

35、. C population drops due to natures control mechanism. D new viruses appear for the first time.,47It can be seen from the text that the author views extremely large cities as a(n) A possible control mechanism of the nature. B terrible burden in terms of public sanitation and hygiene. C potential bio

36、logical threat to human health. D inevitable outcome of the law of nature. 48The author implies in the text that A weapons now fall into quite different categories. B biological war may break out any time. C most scientists are against nuclear weapons. D science is liable to be used to create great

37、evils. 49As to the solution of the problems in the future, the author appears to be A somewhat doubtful. B much skeptical. C moderately optimistic. D extremely desperate. .,50What does the text mainly discuss? A Threats from the new microbes in the next century. B How new viruses affect the human so

38、ciety. C What megacities may bring to human species. D The disastrous effect of nuclear and biological weapons Text 3 Given the fact that each person is only one of approximately 90 million voters in this country, does it make sense to believe that one persons participation, one vote, will have any

39、impact on a major election? Simply to raise the question “What if everyone felt the same way?” does not remove the lingering impression that a single person is made to feel insignificant by the enormous number of people who do go to the polls, especially in a national election. Supporters of the rul

40、ing elite theory insist that even though voters are given a choice among candidates, their choice is restricted to a narrow range of similarminded individuals approved by the ruling elite. Elections do not express what most people want or need, nor do they provide guidance for politicians (even if t

41、hey want it) on what policies to enact. In this view, elections are primarily just rituals that perform a symbolic function for society.,Still, since most people continue to show faces at the polls at one time or another, what arguments can be made in favor of voting? One argument is that voting doe

42、s have significance, if not in individual impact, then in group pressure. Because citizens collectively have the power to give or withhold votes, they directly control the term in office of elected officials. Even if the choice is between Tweedledee and Tweedledum, Tweedledee knows that one must be

43、accountable and this is fixed by law, and that minimally he or she must strive to avoid displeasing the constituents to lose the job. But perhaps political effectiveness and impact in voting are not the only consideration anyway. People do not vote only to influence policy. Millions go to the effort

44、 to register and vote for a variety of other reasons as well. Some people may participate just to avoid feeling guilty about not voting. They may have been taught that is their patriotic duty to vote and that they have no right to complain about the outcome if they stay at home. Still others may vote to derive satisfaction from feeling that they are somehow participants, not just spectators, in an exciting el
