单选题A lawyer friend of mine has devoted herself to the service of humanity. Her special area is called "public interest law".
Many other lawyers represent only clients who can pay high fees. All lawyers have had expensive and highly specialized training, and they work long, difficult hours for the money they earn. But what happens to people who need legal help and cannot afford to pay these lawyers" fees?
Public interest lawyers fill this need. Lisa, like other public interest lawyers, earns a salary much below what some lawyers can earn. Because she is willing to take less money, her clients need the help, even if they can pay nothing at all.
Some clients need legal help because stores have cheated them with faulty merchandise. Others are in unsafe apartments, or are threatened with eviction(驱逐,赶出) and have no place to go to. Their cases are called "civil" cases. Still others are accused of criminal acts, and seeking those public interest lawyers who handle "criminal" cases. These are just a few of the many situations in which men and women who are public interest lawyers serve to extend justice throughout our society.

There was one thought that air
pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories
and heavy automobile traffic.At present, we realize that although these are the
areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. (76)
{{U}}On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has
covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas
away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic.{{/U}}In
fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution.
Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in
the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a
"greenhouse effect"--conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the
world's average temperature. If this view is correct and the world's temperature
is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities
such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water.
(77) {{U}}Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular
matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth's
temperature--a result that would be equally disastrous.{{/U}} A drop of just a few
degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make
agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top fanning areas. Today we
do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one
recent government report drafted by exports in the field concluded that the
greenhouse effect is very possible). Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two
tendencies will offset each other and the world's temperature will stay about
the same as it is now.

单选题{{B}}Passage 1{{/B}}
What will man be like in the future—in
5 000 or even 50 000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we
can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly
changing all the time. Let us take an obvious example. Man, even
five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are
about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of
time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.
Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we
still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on,
however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall
need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head,
in particular the forehead, which will grow larger. Nowadays our
eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they
become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it
is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend to make
less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At
the same time, how ever, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are
used a great deal in modern life. But what about hair? It will
probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does
not serve a useful propose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are
likely to be bald. Perhaps all this gives the impression that
future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at. This may well be
true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a
lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and
emotions similar to our own.

单选题To swim across the English Channel takes at least nine hours. It's a hard work and it makes you short of breath. To fly over the Channel takes only twenty minutes (as long as you're not held up at the airport), but it's an expensive way to travel. You can travel by hovercraft if you don't mind the noise, and that takes forty minutes. Otherwise you can go by boat, if you remember your sea—sickness ills. All these means of transport have their problems and the weary traveler often dreams of being able to drive to France in his own car. "Not possible", you Say. Well wait a minute. People are once again considering the idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge. This time, the Greater London Council is looking into the possibility of building a Channel link straight to London. 79) A bridge would cost far more than a tunnel, but you would be able to go by rail or by car on a bridge, whereas a tunnel would provide a rail link only. Why is this idea being discussed again? Is Britain becoming more conscious of the need for links with Europe as a result of joining the EEC(欧共体)? Well, perhaps. The main reason, though, is that a tunnel or bridge would reach the twenty square kilometers of London's disused dockland. A link from London to the continent would stimulate trade and revitalize the port, and would make Lon don a main trading center in Europe. 80)With a link over the Channel, you could buy your fish and chips in England and be able to eat them in France while they were still warm!
