1、U1Passage One Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Terrorism may be viewed as the use of force or violence against persons or property to threaten or coerce (迫使) a government, a formal organization, or a civilian population for political, religious, or social objectives. Since terro

2、rists commonly use violence against civilian targets, their actions are widely condemned as morally unacceptable. In practice, as with a great many other behaviors, what constitutes terrorism is a matter of social definition. When nations resort to violence to further their interests, the results ar

3、e considered as being legal warfare. In many respects, terrorism is an extension of that approach by people who lack the armies of a state.For many years the public, government officials, and scholars treated terrorism primarily as a nuisance. But recently, we have come to see terrorism as a new mod

4、e of warfare with far-reaching implications. Terrorism serves as an avenue of political expression for some militants (好戰(zhàn)分子), whether they are motivated by ideology, ethnicity, or religion. However, what distinguishes much contemporary terrorism is not so much its motivation or purpose, but rather t

5、he extent of state involvement in carrying out well-planned and highly destructive acts against adversary nations.Another feature of contemporary terrorism has been the extent to which it has become a media event. Terrorism is usually aimed at a media audience, not the actual victims. The act of med

10、on, coffee is an environmentally-friendly crop. The shade trees fix nitrogen in the soil, fostering the growth of the coffee bushes, and their fallen leaves provide nutrients, further reducing the need for chemical fertilizers. The mixture of vegetation prevents erosion and protects the coffee from

11、harsh weather. In contrast to corn and cattle, which almost always require clear-cutting, coffee can be grown in relative harmony with the rain forest.Recently, however, many coffee farmers in northern Latin America have reduced or eliminated shade to grow new high-yielding coffee plants under direc

12、t sun. Fear of a disease known as coffee leaf rust sparked an early round of conversions, most of which took place in the 1970s. To prevent the spread of the disease, coffee farmers technified, replacing older, shade-loving coffee varieties, with new varieties, packed in tight hedgerows, that can su

13、rvive open sun but only with chemical inputs.Coffee leaf rust never turned out to be a major problem for Latin America. To boost farmers incomes, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) spent some $80 million from the 1970s to the early 1990s, according to a report (1996) from the Smit

14、hsonian Migratory Bird Center and the Natural Resources Defense Council, to help growers in Central America and the Caribbean technify.

26、aration You mustnt lose heart, sooner or later your effort will pay _. A) for B) out C) off D) up Passage OneWe are all inclined to believe that our generation is more civilized than the generation that preceded ours. From time to time, there is even some substantial evidence that we hold in higher

27、regard such civilized attributes as compassion, pity, remorse (懊悔), intelligence and a respect for the customs of people different from ourselves.Why war then?Some pessimistic historians think the whole society of man runs in cycles and that one of the phases is war. The optimists, on the other hand

28、, think war is not like an eclipse (日食) or a flood or a spell of bad weather. They believe that it is more like a disease for which a cure could be found if the causes were known.Because war is the ultimate drama of life and death stories and pictures of it are more interesting than those about peac

29、e. This is so true that all of us, and perhaps those of us in television more than most, are often caught up in the action of war to the exclusion of the ideas of it.If it is true, as we would like to think it is, that our age is more civilized than ages past, we must all agree that its very strange

30、 that in the twentieth century, our century, we have killed more than 70 million of our fellowmen on purpose, at war. It is very strange that since 1900 more men have killed more other men than in any other seventy years in history.Probably the reason we are able to do both, that is, believe on the

31、one hand that we are more civilized and on the other hand wage war to kill is that killing is not so personal an affair as it once was. The enemy is invisible. One man doesnt look another in the eye and run him through with a sword. The enemy dead or alive is largely unseen. He is killed by remote c

32、ontrol: a loud noise, a distant puff of smoke and then silence.The pictures of the victims wife and children, which he carries in his breast pocket, are destroyed with him. He is not heard to cry out. The question of compassion or pity or remorse does not enter into it. The enemy is not a man; he is

Passage TwoDuring your education you may have to study some subjects that do not interest you or that do not seem to have any value. Nevertheless, they are subjects that must be studied and passed. It is helpful to realize, as a m

37、atter of fact, that any subject is of interest and value. Many people have found it interesting and have even made a career of the subject. It is you who have no interest. How can you develop interest?First, think of how and why the subject is important to your general education. Physics may not see

38、m interesting to you, but if you want to understand space exploration, a little physics will be helpful. Biology may not seem interesting to you, but if you are curious about the anatomy and function of your body, a little biology will be useful. The extent and variety of your interests help you to

39、understand the modern world and to measure your growth as an educated, well-rounded person.Second, think of how the subject is related to other subjects or to other times, places, problems, and purposes.

41、y interesting in relation to other subjects.Third, interest depends upon understanding. If you do not understand the rules of baseball or cricket, you cannot have much interest in watching the game. But if you take time and trouble to learn the rules, you may find it an exciting sport. When you begi

42、n to study a new subject, try to keep an open mind. Do not start by thinking the subject is boring or difficult. Most of all, do not fall behind in your preparation, reading, classwork, and homework. When you fail to learn one point of information, all of the following information that depends on it

43、 will not be clear to you. Because you do not understand, you will lose whatever interest you may have started with. To maintain interest and concentration, study regularly and do not be afraid to ask questions or seek help for anything which you do not understand.According to the passage, an educat

44、ed, well-rounded person _. A) must know why the subject is important to his general education B) is always curious about the anatomy and function of his body C) is characterized by the extent and variety of his interests D) knows how to help others to understand the modern world The author suggests
