问答题{{B}}Passage 2{{/B}} 美国人认为，向人借钱的是聪明人，借钱给人的是傻瓜。美国政府、企业和普通百姓都以此为准则，使资源丰富的美国成为欠债最多的国家。美国人用明天的钱，使今天的楼市一落千丈、通胀加剧。无论是美国政府还是企业和个人，总认为美国是世界最富裕的国家，可以为所欲为地借钱、用钱。然而，靠借钱过日子的国家，总不是一个健康的国家。“不用花一分钱可以成为豪宅业主”，终于引发了波及全球的金融危机；靠印钞票来掠取他国资产，会使自己的诚信彻底丧失。不负责任地“向人借钱的聪明人”，反被聪明所误，这已成为威胁美国安全的因素之一。

问答题By the eighteenth century, the rise of industrialism in the west was accompanied by a decline of religion that cannot be seen as an accidental concurrence. And from then on the trend accelerates. As the average man becomes more enabled to live in comfortable houses, to escape most of the childhood diseases, to communicate rapidly through time and space, to move long distances with ease, his perception of Nature undergoes a startling alteration. 6 No longer does Nature seem quite so terrific and treacherous; for man is much less likely now to starve for want of food or perish from the heat or cold. His relation to the other animals and plants appears thickly veiled by air conditioning, frozen foods, automobiles and washing machines. 7 It has been said again and again that modern man"s comfortable life amidst the conveniences of technology has caused him to suffer a spiritual death and to feel empty, without purpose and direction. And that may well be the case. But nevertheless a radical distinction must be made here: the need for transcendence experienced by most human beings prior to modern times was a very different one from what is claimed to exist today. 8 For if the connection between the growth of industry and the decline of religion is a real one, the earlier spiritual lives appear as an escape from man"s vulnerable position in his battle with Nature. It was not that man"s sensitiveness to the idea of the good and the beautiful was any more developed in past history; rather, his need to escape from an intolerable physical life was greater than ours. When I speak of man"s previous need for transcendence, I do not refer to the needs of great creative people—artist, craftsmen—who can never be satisfied with the status. 9 I speak of the masses of people whose spiritual lives were necessary to make their physical lives endurable and who, had choice been possible, would certainly have preferred physical comforts over spirituality. This situation does not for the most part now exist: TV and toilet make the need for God unnecessary. Man does not generally live in fear of Nature except when earthquake strikes, for he is mostly unaware of a connection with nature concealed by modern technology. 10 The present need for spiritual lives is based on sufficiency and not on deprivation, and it does not seek a haven in another world but rather a more beautiful version of this one. What I am concerned is what has happened as a result of the Industrial Revolution to man"s conception of his relationship with Nature.

问答题The horse and carriage is a thing of the past, but love and marriage are still with us and still closely interrelated. Most American marriages, particularly first marriages involving young couples, are the result of mutual attraction and affection other than practical considerations. In the United States, parents do not arrange marriages for their children. Teenagers begin dating in high school and usually find mates through their own academic and social contacts Though young people feel free to choose their friends from diverse groups, most choose a mate of similar background. This is due in part to parental guidance. Parents cannot select spouses for their children, but they can usually influence choices by voicing disapproval of someone they consider unsuitable. However, marriages between members of different groups (interclass, interfaith, and interracial marriages) are increasing, probably because of the greater mobility of today"s youth and the fact that they are restricted by fewer prejudices than their parents. Many young people leave their home towns to attend college, serve in the armed forces, or pursue a career in a bigger city. Once away from home and family, they are more likely to date and marry outside their own social group. In mobile American society, interclass marriages are neither rare nor shocking. Interfaith marriages are on the rise particularly between Protestants and Catholics. On the other hand, interracial marriage is still very uncommon. It can be difficult for interracial couples to find a place to live, maintain friendships, and raise a family. Marriages between people of different national origin (but the same race and religion) have been commonplace here since colonial times.

问答题Acid rain, is a form of air pollution, currently a subject of great controversy because of widespread environmental damage for which it has been blamed. It forms when oxides of sulfur and nitrogen combine with atmospheric moisture to yield sulfuric and nitric acids, which may then be carded long distances from their source before they are deposited by rain. The pollution many also take the form of snow or fog or be precipitated in dry forms. In fact, although the term "acid rain" has been in use for more than a century — it is derived from atmospheric studies that were made in the region of Manchester, England — the more accurate scientific term would be "acid deposition." The dry form of such precipitation is just as damaging as the liquid form, especially to trees and structures. Furthermore, some of the pollutants also associated with acid rain are not themselves acidic. The problem of acid rain may be said to have originated with the Industrial Revolution, and it has been growing ever since. The severity of its effects has long been recognized in local settings, as exemplified by the spells of acid smog in heavily industrialized areas. The wide destructiveness of acid rain, however, has come to be realized only in recent decades. One large area that has been studied extensively is northern Europe, where acid rain has eroded structures, injured crops and forests, and threatened or depleted life in freshwater lakes. In 1983, for example, published reports indicated that 34 percent of the forested areas of West Germany had been damaged by acid rain. The northeastern U.S. and eastern Canada have also been affected by this form of pollution, and other areas of the two countries are also showing increasing signs of damages, as are other regions of the world. Industrial emissions have been blamed as the major cause of acid rain. Because the chemical reactions involved in the production of acid rain in the atmosphere are complex and as yet little understood, industries have tended to challenge such assessments and to stress the need for further studies; and because of the cost of pollution reduction, governments have tended to support this attitude. Studies released by the U.S. government in the early 1980s, however, strongly implicated industries as the main source of acid rain.

问答题This is supposed to be an enlightened age, but you wouldn"t think so if you could hear what the average man thinks of the average woman. Women won their independence years ago. After a long, bitter struggle, they now enjoy the same educational opportunities as men in most parts of the world. They have proved repeatedly that they are equal and often superior to men in almost every field. 11 The hard-fought battle for recognition has been won, but it is by no means over. It is men, not women who still carry on the sex war because their attitude remains basically hostile. Even in the most progressive societies, women continue to be regarded as second-rate citizens. To hear some men talk, you"d think that women belonged to a different species! On the surface, the comments made by men about women"s abilities seem light-hearted. The same tired jokes about women drivers are repeated day in day out. 12 This apparent light-heartedness does not conceal the real contempt that men feel for women. However much men sneer, at women, their claims to superiority are not borne out by statistics. Let"s consider the matter of driving, for instance. 13 We all know that women cause far fewer accidents than men. They are too conscientious and responsible to drive like maniacs. But this is a minor quibble. Women have succeeded in any job you care to name. As politicians, soldiers, doctors, factory-hands, university professors, farmers, company directors, lawyers, bus-conductors, scientists and presidents of countries they have often put men to shame. And we must remember that they frequently succeed brilliantly in all these fields in addition to bearing and rearing children. 14 Yet men go on maintaining the fiction that there are many jobs women can"t do. Top-level political negotiation between countries, business and banking are almost entirely controlled by men, who jealously guard their so-called "rights". Even in otherwise enlightened places like Switzerland women haven"t even been given the vote. This situation is preposterous! The arguments that men put forward to exclude women from these fields are all too familiar. Women, they say, are unreliable and irrational. They depend too little on cool reasoning and too much on intuition and instinct to arrive at decisions. They are not even capable of thinking clearly. Yet when women prove their abilities, men refuse to acknowledge them and give them their due. So much for a man"s ability to think clearly! The truth is that men cling to their supremacy because of their basic inferiority complex. They shun real competition. They know in their hearts that women are superior and they are afraid of being beaten at their own game. One of the most important tasks in the world is to achieve peace between the nations. 15 You can be sure that if women were allowed to sit round the conference table, they would succeed brilliantly, as they always do, where men have failed for centuries.
