    请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

    　　The long, lonely voyage of the Japanese ghost ship is over．

    　　A US Coast Guard cutter poured cannon fire into an abandoned Japanese ghost ship that had been drifting since last year's tsunami(海啸), sinking the vessel into waters more than 305 meters deep in the Gulf of Alaska and removing the danger it posed to shipping and the coastline on Thursday．

    　　The cutter's guns tore holes in the 164-foot Ryou-Un Maru, and then it began to take on water and lean to one side．In about four hours, the ship disappeared into the sea, said Chief Petty Officer Kip Wadlow．

    　　The ship had no lights or communications system, and its tank was able to carry more than 7,570 liters of diesel fuel．Officials, however, didn't know exactly how much fuel was aboard．

    　　“It's less risky than it would be running into shore or running into other ships,” coast guard spokesman Paul Webb said．

    　　The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency studied the problem and decided it is safer to sink the ship than let the fuel evaporate and pollute the sea environment．

    　　Ryou-Un Maru was probably among the first wave of the 1.5 million tons of garbage of　refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, roofs and fishing nets heading toward North America since last March when a magnitude-9.0 earthquake struck Japan．

    　　As the coast guard was ready to fire on the vessel, a Canadian fishing vessel, the 19-meter Bernice C, claimed the rights to save the ghost ship in international waters．

    　　Plans to sink it were paused so the Canadian crew could have a chance to take the stricken ship．A Canadian official with knowledge of the situation told the Associated Press that the Bernice C was unable to drag it．

    　　Then the Canadian boat left, and once it was about 10 kilometers from the Japanese vessel, the Coast Guard began to fire, first with 25 mm shells, then a few hours later with ammunition twice that size．

    　　State officials have been working to test the danger of garbage including materials affected by a damaged nuclear power plant, to see if Alaska residents, seafood or wild animals could be affected．

    　　“But I didn’t hear the ring, ”you say．

    　　“Because you are too old, ”your brother answers．

    　　Don’t get mad．He’s just telling you the truth．

    　　Teenagers in Britain and the US have a weapon against the older generation, especially parents and teachers．It’s a ring tone that many adults cannot hear．

    　　According to a recent report from the New York Times, in some Manhattan schools, students have begun using the technology．Cellphone use is usually forbidden in class．But using the high-pitched(频率)ring tone, students can successfully exchange phone messages without being found by their teachers．

    　　The technology relies on the fact that most adults gradually lose the ability to hear high-pitched sounds, It was developed in Britain but has recently spread to America by the Internet．

    　　However, the technology was originally aimed at annoying teenagers, not the other way around．

    　　Called the Mosquito, it was marketed last year by a Welsh security company．It is an ear-splitting 17-kilohertz buzzer(蜂鸣器)designed to help shopkeepers get rid of young people hanging around in front of their stores．Humans can hear sounds taking place in a frequency range between 200 and 20,000 hertz, as the research shows．But our hearing gradually becomes worse when we grow up．

    C．

    D．

    He cannot hear sounds with a frequency of 17-kilohertz．

    (4)

    [　　]

    阅读理解

    请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

    　　Abuse can be defined as “to treat wrongfully or harmfully”．There are different categories of abuse that have been recognized and within our case study there appear to be two distinct forms of abuse, family abuse and child abuse．These can be subdivided into terms of physical abuse and　psychological abuse．Physical abuse is the intentional physical injury or harm or deliberately not preventing harm occurring．The minimum physical signs seen in our study of James are bruises but they might feel more painful to his heart than the more serious invisible injuries．Emotional abuse is the continual failure to meet basic emotional needs．Emotional development is prevented and well-being harmed．The emotional signs in our case study can be seen in James by his actions of being withdrawn and non-communicative．The behavioural sign to abuse taking place to James is his aggressive behaviour．

    　　The short term effect of physical abuse on James is physical pain．In the long term, injuries that often happen can result in secondary illness and complications, permanent scars or even disabilities．His emotional effects in the short term are a fear of people, withdrawal, and poor relationship with others．The long term emotional effects could be low self-respect, depression, inability to form relationships．

    　　Abuse can arise for many reasons and there are a number of theoretical views which may be useful in clarifying why the abuse has taken place．The female view believes that sex and family roles give approval to a culture of abuse．Considering the historical and fixed ideas, men have power and control．In James' case he lives in a re-constructed family with the father being rude and a heavy drinker．From a psychological angle, alcohol misuse can bring mental health problems which may increase aggression in the person and so James is more at risk from abuse by his stepfather．The relationship between the mother and James involves a dependency of James on his mother．With other problems in James' mother's life, this leads to increasing stress and the inability of his mother to cope with and manage a family with four children borne by two mothers．The attachment theory states that significant separations of a child from the carer in the early years can have an effect on their emotional development and can lead to psychological and social difficulties in later life．The loss of both his father and his half sister's father with whom he lives may have contributed to his behaviour．

    　　Abusive behaviour can sometimes be the result of mental health problems, brain damage or being abused themselves．By becoming the abuser they believe they are taking control; some even believe that they are not doing anything wrong and cannot stop themselves．When working with individuals who have abused, it is important to be aware that they may go on to abuse again and there is a need to protect the community from the abuser．

    A car knocks down a woman but the driver doesn't take her to hospital．

    C．

    In the debates about how a particular piece of land is to be used, the priorities often conflict. What should you do, for example, if you find out that under the fertile fields of a farming community there is a thick bed of coal which can be strip mined(露天矿) ? Strip mining tears up top soil and plants. But mining may create jobs, bring money to the towns businesses. Those who approve of strip mining say that the coal is needed, and they point out that it is quicker and cheaper to get coal from the surface than to go deep into the earth to get it by standard mining techniques. On the other hand, it takes nature 500 years to create an inch of top soil. As the countryside fills up, people are becoming more aware of the need for open space. Nearly every proposal for a new power plant, highway, or airport draws fierce opposition. Everyone wants the big, land-eating “uglies” to be in someone else’s backyard. Minneapolis and St.Paul, Minnesota, for example, have been debating about the site of a future airport for years. Yet if a new airport is needed, it will have to go somewhere.
    How do we find our way out of the land-used problem? One way might be to reexamine our values, to think in new directions. Does everyone have to have a car with its need for highways and parking lots? What about developing mass transport systems that use less land? Do suburbs have to spread? Can they be designed so they use less space? Do we have to have more energy? If we do, do we really have to strip-mine coal to provide it?
    However difficult they may be to arrive at, choices will have to be made if we want to preserve the beauty and usefulness of the land. For there is at least one point on which all of us can agree: The land does have its limits.
