I say "lucky", because Ezra Pryme doesnt have much time for the humans and he almost has no visitors. He is very rich and he has a very big country house with a large garden. He has got a large family, but he never sees any of his children or grandchildren. "I havent got any time for them, he says. He has the largest collection of Art Deco objects in the world, but he is the only one who never sees them.I knocked at the door of the house at exactly 3 p. m. Ezras servant opened the door for me. I was led through a large hall which had all sorts of paintings on the walls and then into a library. I waited for a while and at last a very short man appeared. He had white hair and grey eyes. He had a beautiful green suit on and pink tie. He also had a smile on his face, which surprised me. As soon as he saw me, he held out his hand. Not expecting this, I hesitated for a moment.

More than 123 million passenger cars are in operation, using 300, 000 million liters of gasoline every year. About nine million passenger cars, trucks and buses e off the assembly lines every year, and the manufacture of motor vehicles and allied production is a $ 200,000 million industry.The automobile has brought many changes in American lifefor example, the remarkable growth of the suburbs in the past 25 years. Many persons who work in the cities now enjoy country living because of good roads and the use of the automobile.Heavy use of the nations highways has created a demand for roadside businesses of various kinds, including outdoor movie theaters where audiences watch films from their automobiles, and convenient roadside hotels known as "motels". Motels are usually located on main roads near cities and at seaside and other resort areas. They are made up of bedrooms and bath units and nearby parking spaces. Many of the units are equipped with television and air-conditioning. Restaurants and swimming pools are available at most of the large motels. The number of motels has grown so rapidly in recent years that their total annual ine has surpassed that of American hotels.Throughout the United States there are some 41,894,000 kilometers of hard-surface roads and more than one million kilometers of other roads. A 68,400-kilometer interstate system of freeways crisscrosses the country, linking all major cities.Buses have replaced street cars as public transportation in most cities and towns. The suburban areas usually have railroad or bus transportation to neighboring towns. Buses are often used by travelers for long trips. Fares are less than on railroads or airlines, and many of the large, modem buses provide restrooms on board.The airplane is a popular means of travel, with 12,700 civil airports and more than 246.7 million passengers a year. There are 37 scheduled airlines. Twenty-six regional centers direct air traffic between cities.About a decade ago, the U.S. Government took over most of the railroad passenger routes from private panies, which were losing money on passenger services. Consolidation of routes and modern equipment provided by the government have improved passenger services, but they still do not break even financially.mercial cargoes are transported by highway, water and rail. One recent innovation is "containerized" cargo. At the factory crates of goods are placed in large metal containers on wheels, die containers are sealed and hitched to trucks to be taken to railroad centers or ports, where large cranes lift them onto freight cars, barges or ships.The Mississippi River has always been a freight carrier.Transportation by water to the North Central region was helped greatly when the St. Lawrence Seaway was opened by the United States and Canada in 1959. Large ocean vessels can now sail directly to cities on the Great Lakes. About 40 percent of all water transportation in the nation s interior is carried on the Great lakes.40.

According to this passage, about 40 percent of all water transport within the nation is carried onA. rivers and canalsB. the Mississippi RiverC. the St. Lawrence SeawayD. Lakes Superior, Michigan, Erie, Huron and OntarioCThe concept of "environment" is certainly difficult and may even be misunderstood; but we have no handy substitute. It seems simple enough to distinguish between the organism and the surrounding environment and to separate forces acting on an organism into those that are internal and biological and those that are external and environmental. But in actual practice this system breaks down in many ways, because the organism and the environment are constantly interacting so that the environment is modified by the organism and vice versa (反之亦然) .In the case of man, the difficulties with the environmental concept are even more plicated because we have to deal with man as an animal and with man as a bearer (持有者) of culture. If we look at man as an animal and try to analyze the environmental forces that are acting on the organism, we find that we have to deal with things like climate, soil, plants, and suchlike factors mon to all biological situations; but we also find, always, very important environmental influences that we can only class as "cultural", which modify the physical and biological factors. But man, as we know him, is always a bearer of culture; and, if we study human culture, we find that it, in turn, is modified by the environmental factors of climate and geography. We thus easily get into great difficulties from the necessity of viewing culture, at one moment, as a part of the man and, at another moment, as a part of the environment.44. According to the author the concept of "environment" is difficult to explain because_.A. it doesnt distinguish between the organism and the environmentB. it involves both internal and external forcesC. the organism and the environment influence each otherD. the relationship between the organism and the environment is unclear45. In analyzing the environmental forces acting on man the author suggests that_.A. biological factors are less important to the organism than cultural factors to manB. man and other animals are modified equally by the environmental forcesC. man is modified by the cultural environment as well as by the natural environmentD. physical and biological factors exert more influence on other organisms than on man46. As for culture, the author points out thatA. it develops side by side with environmental factorsB. it is also affected by environmental factorsC. it is generally accepted to be part of the environmentD. it is product of mans biological instincts47. In this passage, the author is primarily concerned with_.A. the interpretation of the term "environment"B. the discussion on the organisms and biological environmentC. the parison between internal and external factors influencing manD. the evaluation of mans influence on cultureDThe trend towards globalization began in earnest in the early 1970s when the system of fixed exchange rates, set up after World War , was dismantled. This meant that the value of currencies would now be determined by the markets instead of individual governments. Over the next two decades, countries slowly began to remove their exchange controls. By 1990, nearly all worlds major economies had got rid of restrictions on how much money could be moved in and out of their countries.Other factors contributing to the rise of globalization are new munications technologies, and better transportation systems. These have enabled panies to grow into multi-nationals (跨國公司) producing goods on one side of the planet and selling them on the other. Lower costs have also helped the price of telephone calls, for instance, is cheaper now than at any time in history.But adjusting to this new "economic order" is proving difficult. In the developed world, and in particular the European Union, globalization is facing widespread public resistance. Critics plain that, without the protection of trade barriers, jobs are being lost to workers in poorer countries, and wages for employees in rich countries are falling. Opponents in the European Union point to the effects that globalization has had in the US and Britain. In those countries, wages are stagnant (停滯不前) except for a privileged few and taxes and welfare benefits have been reduced to help panies pete with industries in the developing world.Opponents of globalization also point to its effects on workers in poorer countries. They agree that multinationals may be helping to reduce unemployment in the developing world but they argue that the jobs are hardly worth having since they are low-paid and exploitative. Those in favor of globalization accuse their critics of being short-sighted protectionists. They claim a more intergrated global economy will ultimately benefit everyone because it will enable countries to specialize in those areas where they perform best.48.

The society is not safe.ESince we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstance. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and daily hassles (困難). People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off (擋開) illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social panionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting (轉移-注意力) us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental supportfinancial aid, material resources, and needed servicesthat reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.52. Interpersonal relationships are important becauseA. they are indispensable to peoples social well-beingB. they awaken peoples desire to exchange resourcesC. they help people to cope with life in the information eraD. they can cure a range of illnesses such as heart disease, etc.53.
