22、 and the number of athletes to 10,500.“Imagine a bus with 28 seats and some sports need to get off to give their places to other sports,”said an IOC official. Sports that might not appear in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games included baseball, softball and the modern pentathlon(五项全能)(shooting, fencing,
23、 horse, jumping, swimming and running).“We think that the Olympic Games have to be made smaller, and the less costly so that they can be organized by all continents and subcontinents(次大陆),”said IOC president Jacques Rogge.“Our dream is that a continent such as Africa will be able to organize the Oly

Today, we know that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, th
77、e problem is actually worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the entire eastern half of the United States and led to health warnings even in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the v
78、ery climate of the entire earth may be affected by air pollution. Some scientists feel that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a “greenhouse effect - holding in heat reflected from the earth and raising the
79、worlds average temperature. If this view is correct and the worlds temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be under water.Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particulate (颗粒) matter
80、in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earths temperature a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to new ice age and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. At present we do not kno
81、w for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report prepared by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very likely). Perhaps, if we are very lucky, the two tendencies will offset each other and the worlds temperature will stay about the s
82、ame as it is now.55. As is pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution _.A. affected the entire eastern half of the United StatesB. existed merely in urban and industrial areasC. had damaging effects on healthD. caused widespread damage in the countryside 56.
83、 As far as the greenhouse effect is concerned, the author _.A. is uncertain of its occurrenceB. thinks that it will destroy the world soonC. rejects it as being ungroundedD. shares the same view with the scientists57. The underlined word “offset in Para. 2 could best be replaced by_.A. catch up with
84、 B. slip into C. set up D. make up for 58. This passage is mainly concerned with _.A. the greenhouse effect B. the potential effect of air pollutionC. the burning of fossil fuels D. the possibility of a new ice ageCOne night recently, I was driving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour.
85、A car approached from the opposite direction at about the same speed. As we passed each other, I caught the other drivers eye for only a second. I wondered whether he might be thinking, as I was, how dependent we were on each other at that moment. I was relying on him not to fall asleep, not to be p
86、ut off by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden end. Though we had never spoken a word to each other, he relied on me in just the same way.Multiplied a million times over, I believe that is the way the world works. At some level, we all depend upon one an
87、other. Sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line. And sometimes it requires us to act cooperatively, with friends or even with strangers.As technology shrinks our world, the need increases for cooperative action among nations. In 2003,
88、 doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the SARS virus, which saved thousands of lives. The threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem, one requiring team action by police and intelligence forces across the world. We must recognize that our fates a
89、re not ours alone to control. In my own life, Ive put great stock in personal responsibility. But, as time has passed, Ive also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others.
