11、glorification of an ever-larger GNP formed the basis of a new materialism, which became a holy obligation for all Japanese governments, businesses and trade unions. Anyone who mentioned the undesirable by-products of rapid economic growth was treated as a heretic（异教徒）. Consequently, everything possi
12、ble was done to make conditions easy for the manufacturers. Few dared to question the wisdom of discharging untreated waste into the nearest water body or untreated smoke into the atmosphere. This silence was maintained by union leaders as well as by most of the countrys radicals（激进分子）; except for a
13、 few isolated voices, no one protested. An insistence on treatment of the various effluents would have given rise to higher operating costs. Obviously, this would have meant higher prices for Japanese goods, and ultimately fewer sales and lower industrial growth and GNP. The pursuit of nothing but e
14、conomic growth is illustrated by the response of the Japanese government to the American educational mission that visited Japan in 1947. After surveying Japans educational program, the Americans suggested that the Japanese fill in their curriculum gap by creating departments in chemical and sanitary
15、 engineering. Immediately, chemical engineering departments were established in all the countrys universities and technical institutions. In contrast, the recommendation to form sanitary engineering departments was more or less ignored, because they could bring no profit. By 1960, only two second-ra
16、te universities, Kyoto and Hokkaido, were interested enough to open such departments. The reluctance to switch funds from production to conservation is explanation enough for a certain degree of pollution, but the situation was made worse by the type of technology the Japanese chose to adopt for the
17、ir industrial expansion. For the most part, they simply copied American industrial methods. This meant that methods originally designed for use in a country that stretched from the Atlantic to the Pacific with lots of air and water to use as sewage receptacles（下水道）were adopted for an area a fraction
18、 of the size. Moreover, the Japanese diet was much more dependent on water as a source of fish and as an input in the irrigation of rice; consequently discharged wastes built up much more rapidly in the food chain.5. Which of the following words is closest in meaning to “glorification”（Para.1）? A. w
19、orshipB. objectionC. criticismD. ignorance6. According to the passage, there were no measures in environmental protection after World War in Japan because _. A. they were regarded as unnecessary B. no one was much interested in them C. pollution was held as inevitable at that time D. they would hold
20、 back economic development7. According to the logical clue of the passage, the second paragraph is an example to show that _. A. Japan was markedly influenced by the U.S. in education B. education in Japan was not so developed as that in the U.S. C. the Japanese government concerned itself only abou
21、t economic gains D. Japan educational institutions were much the same as those in the U.S.8. Which of the following is not a reason for the rapidity and intensity of pollution in Japan? A. The Japanese diet increased the waste in their food chain. B. The Japanese industrial revolution was generally
22、modeled on that of America. C. No sanitary engineering departments were set up in higher institutions in Japan. D. Japan was unwilling to provide funds for the solution of environmental problems. C 难度：Sohrabs gaze bounced from the kite to me. Back to the sky.I took off running, my sneakers splashing
23、 rainwater from puddles, the hand clutching the kite end of the string held high above my head. It had been so long, so many years since Id done this, and I wondered if Id make a spectacle of myself. I let the spool roll in my left hand as I ran, felt the string cut my right hand again as it fed thr
24、ough. The kite was lifting behind my shoulder now, lifting, wheeling, and I ran harder. The spool spun faster and the glass string tore another gash in my right palm. I hadnt flown a kite in a quarter of a century, but suddenly I was twelve again and all the old instincts came rushing back.I felt a
25、presence next to me and looked down. It was Sohrab. Hands dug deep in the pockets of his raincoat. He had followed me.My heart quickened as I spun the spool to gather the loose string. Then I saw we had company. A green kite was closing in. His gaze flitted between our kite and the green one. His fa
26、ce was a little flushed, his eyes suddenly alert. Awake. Alive. I wondered when I had forgotten that, despite everything, he was still just a child.The green kite drew closer yet, now rising a little above us, unaware of the trap Id set for it. Watch, Sohrab. Im going to show you one of your fathers
27、 favorite tricks, the old lift-and-dive.The park shimmered with snow so fresh, so dazzling white, it burned my eyes. It sprinkled soundlessly from the branches of white-clad trees.The green kite hovered directly above us now. Hes going for it. Anytime now,?I said, my eyes flicking from Sohrab to our
28、 kite.The green kite hesitated. Held position. Then shot down. Here he comes!?I said.I did it perfectly. After all these years. The old lift-and-dive trap. Id already slipped him Hassans trick. I pulled hard and our kite plummeted. I could almost feel our string sawing his. Almost heard the snap.Beh
29、ind us, people cheered. Whistles and applause broke out. I was panting. The last time I had felt a rush like this was that day in the winter of 1975, just after I had cut the last kite, when I spotted Baba on our rooftop, clapping, beaming.I looked down at Sohrab. One corner of his mouth had curled
30、up just so.A smile. Lopsided. Hardly there. But there.Do you want me to run that kite for you? His Adams apple rose and fell as he swallowed. The wind lifted his hair. I thought I saw him nod.For you, a thousand times over,?I heard myself say.Then I turned and ran.It was only a smile, nothing more.
31、It didnt make everything all right. It didnt make anything all right. Only a smile. A tiny thing. A leaf in the woods, shaking in the wake of a startled birds flight. But Ill take it. With open arms. Because when spring comes, it melts the snow one flake at a time, and maybe I just witnessed the fir
32、st flake melting.I ran. A grown man running with a swarm of screaming children. But I didnt care. I ran with the wind blowing in my face, and a smile as wide as the Valley of Panjsher on my lips.I ran.9.What can we infer from Para2 ?A.The protagonist longed for freedom of getting rid of religious ba

37、homes. Lets begin with the houses themselves. An American house usually has a yard, large or small. It may have a hedge（树篱），_41_ rarely is there a wall so high that a passer-by cannot see the windows. Usually the interior is shielded from exterior view only by window curtains or blinds.However, the
38、image of a traditional Chinese house is one within four high walls. This is still _42_ in many places in the north of China today. The walls are often so high that only the roofs are _43_ from the outside. Solid gates separate the interior grounds from the outside world. In addition, there is usuall
39、y a wall placed directly in front of the gates. It is believed that this shadow wall keeps the home from direct exposure to the unseen spirits when the gates are open.Inside the home, the contrast between China and America is _44_. The emphasis within an American home is on _45_. There are not only
40、doors to the bathrooms but also to the bedrooms, and often to the living room and even the kitchen. Space and possessions are _46_. Parents have little liberty in the rooms of the children, and children cannot do what they want in those parts of the house regarded as pre-eminently their parents doma
41、in. In some American families, this rule of privacy _47_ even to the husband and wife, so that each has a separate bedroom.Within the Chinese home, _48_, privacy hardly exists at all, except between members of opposite sexes who are not husband and wife. Chinese children, even in homes that have eno
42、ugh room, often share the same rooms with their parents until they reach adolescence. Not only do parents have freedom of action with the childrens _49_, but the youngsters can also use the possessions of the parents if they can get their hands on them. If children damage their parents possessions t
43、hey are scolded, not because they touched things that were not theirs but because they are too young to handle them with proper care.The _50_ of privacy within the Chinese home finds its extreme expression in many well-to-do families of North China. Here the rooms are arranged in rows like the cars
44、of a train. But instead of each room having a separate entrance, all the rooms are arranged in sequence, one leading into another. Thus, if there are five rooms, the front door of the house opens into the center room, which serves as the kitchen and dining room. There are two doors on opposite walls
45、 of the kitchen, each leading into a room which has _51_ another door opening into the end rooms. Actual arrangements vary somewhat from family to family, but this simplified picture is _52_ true.Such an arrangement in living quarters would be very _53_ to Americans. But many Chinese adhere to（坚守）a
46、variation of the common linear arrangement even when they have more rooms and space in which to spread out. For in traditional Chinese culture the space within the four walls was considered as being one body. The American childs _54_ environment establishes strong lines of individual distinction wit
47、hin the home, but there is very little stress on separation of the home from the external world. The Chinese childs environment is exactly the opposite. He finds a home with _55_ cutting lines within it but separated by high walls and the strong gates from the outside world.41. A. orB. for C. butD.

But it is difficult to argue with the conclusions. The report was based on enormous amounts of data: 28 million people around the world were ex
52、amined in 592 studies to estimate the health risks, while the popularity of drinking was estimated using a further 694 studies. Some of the effects of large-scale drinking are really shocking. Around the world today, alcohol is responsible for 20% of the deaths in the 15 to 49 age group.The variety
53、of ways in which alcohol can kill or damage people comes as a shock. In the poorest countries, its primary means of damage is through TB (结核); (3)countries grow more developed, the damage shifts to cancer and heart disease. It is the trade-off between cancer and heart disease (4) leads the researche
