单选题{{B}}D{{/B}} Have you ever noticed advertisements (广告) which say "Learn a foreign language in 6 weeks, or your money back, From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send..." and so on? Of course, it never happens quite like that. The only language that is easy to learn is the mother tongue. And think how much practice that gets. Before the Second World War people usually learnt a foreign language in order to read the literature (文学) of the country. Now speaking the foreign language is what most people want. Every year many millions of people start learning one. How do they do it? Some people try at home, with hooks and records or tapes; some use radio or television programmes; others go to evening classes. If they use the language only 2 or 3 times a week, learning it will take a long time, like language learning at school. A few people try to learn a language more quickly by studying for 6 or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken. However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary. They need the language in order to do their work better. For ex ample, scientists and doctors chiefly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Whether the language is learnt quickly or slowly, it is hard work. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the student's work for him.

单选题 There are some objects in the sky that move so quickly that sometimes you only see them out of the corner of your eye. These are some of the huge number of bits of rock and dust that are floating around in space, called meteoroids. Normally, we cannot see them at all, but if they travel too close to the Earth, they get caught by the pull of the Earth, and begin to fall towards us. They fall faster and faster, until they hit our atmosphere (大气层), by which time they are going so fast that they begin to burn up, and all that you see is a flash of light that moves very quickly across the sky and disappears. These shooting stars, or meteors as they are properly called, are quite common, and sometimes you may see several in a night. Most meteoroids are very small bits indeed, and they bum up long before they get to the Earth. However, a very few do manage to get all the way through the atmosphere, and actually fall to the ground. Usually they do not do much damage, although this is not always the case. Meteoroids that actually manage to reach the Earth are called {{U}}meteorites{{/U}}. Most countries have places where meteorites have struck the Earth. Some of these places are very large indeed and are tourist attractions.

单选题{{B}}(C){{/B}} I wonder why American towns look so much alike that I sometimes mix them up in my memory. The standard influence (影响) of mass production whose agents (代理商) are the travelling salesman, the mail-order house, the five-and-ten-cent stores, the chain stores, the movies can hardly explain it. If you stay two days in Bologna and in Ferrare, or in Aries and in Avignon, you will never mix them up in all your life. But it may well happen that after you spend two days in St. Louis and in Kansas City the appearances of these two cities soon mix up. I think the reason for this is that these towns have not yet had time enough to develop their own characters. Similarly, children are much less different from each other than grown people.

单选题 Baker had stolen some money, but the police had caught him and he had been put in prison. Now his trial (审判) was about to begin, and he felt sure that he would be found guilty (有罪的) and sent to prison for a long time. Then he discovered that an old friend of his was one of the members of the jury (陪审团) at his trial. He managed to see his friend secretly one day. He said to him, "Bill, I know I cannot hope to be found not guilty of having stolen the money—that would be too much to expect. But I should be grateful (感激的) if you could persuade the other members of the jury to add a strong recommendation (劝告) for mercy (仁慈) to their statement that they consider me guilty." "Well, Baker," answered Bill, "I shall certainly help you, but of course I cannot promise anything. The other eleven people look terribly strong-minded to me." Baker thanked him warmly for agreeing to help. The trial went on, and it's time for the jury to make a final decision. It took them five hours, but in the end they found Baker guilty, with a strong recommendation for mercy. Of course, Baker was very pleased. When Bill visited him in prison, Baker thanked him warmly and asked him how he had managed to persuade the other members of the jury to recommend mercy. "Well, Baker," Bill answered, "As I thought, those eleven men were very difficult to persuade, but I managed it in the end by tiring them out. Do you know, those fools had all wanted to find you not guilty!"

单选题 As a result of pollution, Lake Erie, on the borders of the U. S. A. and Canada, now does not have many living things. Pollution in water is not simply a matter of "poisons" killing large numbers of fish overnight. Very often the effects of pollution are not noticed until many months or years later because the first organisms (生物) to be affected are either plants or planktons (浮游生物). These organisms are the food of fish, birds, and other creatures. When this food disappears, the fish and birds would die too. In this way a whole food chain can be wiped out, and it is not until dead fish and water birds are found at the river's edge or on the sea shore that people realize what is happening. Where do the substances that pollute the water come from? There are two main sources, sewage (生活污水) and industrial waste. As more detergent (洗涤剂) is used in the homes, more of it is finally put into our rivers, lakes and seas. Detergent harms water birds by breaking down the natural substances which keep their feathers waterproof. Sewage itself, if not properly treated, makes the water dirty and prevents all forms of life in rivers and the sea from receiving the oxygen they need. Industrial waste is even more harmful since there are more highly poisonous materials in it, such as copper and lead. So, if we want to stop this pollution, the answer is simple. Sewage and industrial waste must be made clean before flowing into rivers and seas. It may be already too late to save some rivers and lakes, but others can be saved if the correct action is taken at once.
