       The twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before changes for the better, changes for the worse, changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings ,changes that put man in danger .Many things caused the changes ,but ,in my opinion ,the most important was the progress in science.

       Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views. It has given us a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe ,it has brought us a better understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous development .Technology in the application of science has made big advances that have benefited us in nearly every part of life.

       The continuation of such activities in the twenty-first century will result in even greater advantages to human beings : in pure science―a wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of learning ;in applied science―a more reasonable sharing of material benefits ,and better protection of the environment.

       Sadly ,however ,there is another side to the picture .The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankind .The application of science and technology to the development and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet .We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons ,Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War ,the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actually been used ,the result could have been the ruin of the human race ,as well as of many kinds of animals.

       William Shakespeare said. “The web of our life is of a mingled yarn(纱线),good and ill together. “The above brief review of the application of only one part of human activities―science seems to prove what Shakespeare said. But does it have to be so ?Must the ill always go together with the good ?Are we biologically programmed for war?

72.Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?


       (①=Paragraph 1,②=Paragraph 2, ③=Paragraph 3, ④=Paragraph 4,⑤=Paragraph 5)

73.From the fourth paragraph ,we can infer that       .

       A.a great many nuclear weapons were actually used for war

       B.a large number of nuclear weapons should have been used for war

       C.the author is doubtful about the ruin of human beings by nuclear weapons

       D.the author is anxious about the huge number of nuclear weapons on the earth

74.The underlined word “mingled” in the last paragraph most probably means     .

       A.simple                 B.mixed                  C.sad                     D.happy

75.What do you think the author is most likely to suggest if he continues to write?

       A.Further application of science to war.

       B.More reading of William Shakespeare.

       C.Proper use of science in the new century.

       D.Effective ways to separate the good from the ill.

72.A 

解析:本文结构是;作者提出自己的论点,举出两个例子;一个是科技在21世纪给人们带来的好处,一个是核武器。最后总结自己的观点。

73.D 

解析:从文章第四段温暖可以看出作者对核武器的担忧。

74.B 

解析:从good and ill weapons可以猜测出mingle的意思为mixed。

75.D 

解析:从第五段中我们可以推理判断出作者继续写的是如何有效的将good和ill分开。从But does it have to be so? Must the ill always go together with the good?可以知道答案的。

 On May 27, 1995, our life was suddenly changed. It happened a few minutes past three.  36   my husband, Chris, fell from his horse as it   37   over a fence. Chris was paralyzed(瘫痪)from the chest down,   38   to breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of   39   with lots of unexpected challenges(挑战). We went from the “haves” to the “have-nots”. Or so we thought. 40   what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of   41   difficulties. We came to learn that something   42   could happen in a disaster. All over the world people   43   Chris so much that letters and postcards poured in every day. By the end of the third week in a   44   center in Virginia, about 35, 000 pieces of   45   had been received and sorted.

As   46  , we opened letter after letter. They gave us   47   and became a source of strength for us. We used them to   48   ourselves. I would go to the pile of letters marked with “Funny” if we needed a   49  , or to the “Disabled” box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or   50   in bed living happily and   51  .

These letters, we realized, had to be shared. And so   52   we offer one of them to you.

Dear Chris,

My husband and I were so sorry to hear of your   53   accident last week. No doubt your family and your friends are giving you the strength to face this   54   challenge. People everywhere are also giving you best wishes every day and we are among those who are keeping you   55  .

                                                      Yours sincerely

                                                      Nancy Reagan

Across the world , 11 billion people have no access to clean drinking water . More than2.6 bullion people lack basic sanitation (卫生设备) .

The combination proves deadly . Each year . diseases related to inadequate water and sanitation kill between 2 and 3 million people and cause an estimated 80 percent of all sicknesses in the developing world . Safe thinking water is a precondition for health and the fight against child death rate , inequality between men and women,  and poverty .

Consider these facts :

●The average distance that women in Africa and Asia walk to collect water is 6 kilometers .

●Only 58 percent of children in sub-Saharan Africa are drinking safe water, and only 37 percent of children in South Asia have access to even a basic toilet .

●Each year in India alone, 73 million working days are lost to water-borne diseases .

Here are three ways you can help :

1) Write Congress

  Current U.S. foreign aid for drinking water and sanitation budgets only one dollar per year per American citizen . Few members of Congress have ever received a letter from voters , about clean drinking water abroad .

2) Sponsor a project with a faith-based organization

  Many U.S. religious groups already sponsor water and sanitation projects, working with partner organizations abroad . Simply put , a single project by a U.S. organization can make safe water a reality for thousands of people .

3) Support nonprofit water organizations

  Numerous U.S.-based nonprofits work skillfully abroad in community-led projects related of drinking water and sanitation . Like the sample of non-profits noted as follows , some organizations are large , others small-scale , some operate worldwide , others are devoted to certain areas in Africa , Asia , or Latin America . Support them generously .

       A.poverty can result in water-borne diseases

       B.people have no access to clean drinking water

       C.women’s rights are denied in some developing countries .

       D.safe drinking water should be a primary concern

73.The intended readers of the passage are _____________.

A.Americans                                          B.overseas sponsors

       C.Congressmen                                      D.U.S-based water organizations

74.The main purpose of the passage is to call on people to ___________.

       A.get rid of water-related diseases in developing countries

       B.donate money to people short of water through religious groups

       C.fight against the worldwide water shortage and sanitation problem

       D.take joint action in support of some nonprofit water organizations

75.What information will probably be provided following the last paragraph?
