    What is freedom? It seems like such a simple question. Freedom is being able to do what you want to do. Allow me to explain it.

    I’m tired of working for a living. I’d rather collect taxes. So that’s what I’m going to do: collect a kind of tax. You are ordered to estimate your income from the past 12 months, and write me a check for 1%. I have provided a mailing address for this purpose on my contact page …

    What? You have a problem with my plan? Oh, I see. If you have to send me a check for the tax, then I have hurt your freedom to spend that money as you see fit. We have a conflict! And our basic problem is: we cannot enjoy freedom at the same time; we must settle for a limit. But what limit?

    Libertarians (自由论者) believe freedom should be based on self-control. They describe freedom as being able to do what you want to do as long as it doesn’t influence the equal right of others to do what they want to do. That is, freedom is being able to do what you like as long as you do not harm another person’s life, liberty or property.

    You can build a set of legal and ethical (道德的) rules on the principle of self-control, and libertarians do. Their request for self-control often becomes more important than common sense, or even freedom itself.

    The definition rules out the freedom to steal, murder, and so on. Otherwise, you can do whatever you want. There is no problem until you realize that taxation is theft, that war is murder, and that national service is a form of slavery. Since only the government has a legal right to use force, libertarians focus on making the government smaller, or even going without it. The libertarians’ definition of freedom is thus freedom from the government. Isn’t it ridiculous?

    According to the first three paragraphs, the author’s idea of collecting taxes is _________.

    A. reasonable   B. responsible   C. unacceptable   D. understandable

    The author takes tax-collecting as an example in the passage to prove that freedom is _________.

    A. unreal     B. unbelievable   C. achievable    D. limited

    In the opinion of libertarians, freedom is realized mainly by _________.

    A. the law    B. self-control   C. ethical rules    D. common sense

    Which of the following statements is supported by libertarians according to the passage?

    A. National service should be canceled.

    B. People can do whatever they want.

    C. The government should have more power.

    D. They should be governed by the government.

    Some scientists say that animals in the ocean are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings. The noise that affect sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.

    Decibels（分贝）measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect.

    Some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales.

    A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that loud noises can seriously injure some animals. The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales’ ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected.

    Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.

    Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists suspect that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.

    1.According to the passage, which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea creatures?

    A. The man-made noises.

    B. The noises made by themselves.

    C. The sound of earthquakes.

    D. The sound of the ice-breaking.

    2.As to the influence of noises on whales, which of the following statements is true?

    A. They are deaf to noises.

    B. Noises at a certain level may hurt them.

    C. They are easily confused by noises.

    D. Noises will limit their ability to reproduce.

    3. We can know from the passage that many scientists think that the noise limit of one hundred twenty decibels would______.

    A. prevent them from doing their research work

    B. benefit them a lot in their research work

    C. do good to their health

    D. increase the industrial output

    4.According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future?

    A. They will try their best to decrease noise.

    B. They will work hard to cut down noise pollution.

    C. They will study the effect of different noises.

    D. They will protect animals from harmful noises.

    There are little cars that may some day take the place of today’s automobiles(汽车). If everyone drives such a little car in the future, there will be less pollution in the air, there will be more parking space in cities, and the streets will be less crowded. The space now for one car of the usual size can hold at least three such little cars.

    The little cars will cost much less to own and to drive. Driving will be safer, too, as these little cars can go only 65 kilometers an hour.

    The cars of the future will be fine for going around the city, but they will not be useful for going far away. If the car is powered by electricity, it will have two batteries—one battery for the motor and the other for the horn (喇叭), signals (信号灯), etc. Little cars which are powered by gas will go 45 kilometers before needing to stop for more gas.

    If big cars are still used along with the small ones, two sets of roads will be needed to set up in the future. Some roads will be used for the big, fast cars, and other roads will be needed for the small, slower ones.

    2.  Two sets of roads are necessary in the future in order to      .

    A．prevent car accidents

    A．A car of the usual size now is three times as big as the small car.

    B．The small car with a speed of 65 kilometers an hour is much more useless than a car of the usual size.

    C．the little car will be safer but cost more.

    D．The little car will need more gas.
