Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. At the Kyoto conference on global warming in December 1997, it became abundantly clear how complex it has become to work out international agreements relating to the environment because of economic concerns unique to each country. It is no longer enough to try to forbid certain activities or to reduce emissions of certain substances. The global challenges of the interlink between the environment and the development increasingly brings us to the core of the economic life of the states. During the late 1980s we were able, through international agreements, to make deep cuts in emissions harmful to the ozone layer. These reductions were made possible because substitutions had been found for many of the harmful chemicals and, more important, because the harmful substances could be replaced without negative effects on employment and economies of states. Although the threat of global warming has been known to the world for decades and all countries and leaders agree that we need to deal the problem, we also know that the effects of measures, especially harsh measures taken in some countries, would be nullified(使无效，取消) if other countries do not control their emissions. Whereas the UN team on climate change has found that the emissions of carbon dioxide would have to be cut globally by 60% to stabilize the content of CO2 in the atmosphere, this path is not feasible for several reasons. Such deep cuts would cause a breakdown of the world economy. Important and populous low-or-medium-income countries are not yet willing to undertake legal commitments about their energy uses. In addition, the state of world technology would not yet permit us to make such a big leap. We must, however, find a solution to the threat of global warming early in the 21st century. Such a commitment would require a degree of shared vision and common responsibilities new to humanity. Success lies in the force of imaginations, in imagining what would happen if we fail to act. Although many living in cold regions would welcome the global warming effects of a warmer summer, few would cheer the arrival of the subsequent tropical diseases, especially where there had been none. 21. The main purpose of this passage is to _________________________________ . 2
A. analyze the problem of global warming B. argue against making deep cuts in emissions C. convince people that global warming is a real threat D. criticize some countries for refusing to cut down harmful emissions 22. The reason why it is difficult to get rid of the threat of global warming is that_____________ . A. not all countries are willing to make deep cuts in emissions B. many people welcome the global warming effect of a warmer summer C. the leaders of many countries are not fully aware of the gravity of the problem D. the world technology is not able to solve the problem 23. In the passage the author implies that ______________________________ . A. the world has recently become aware of the threat of global warming B. the problem of global warming has largely been solved C. it is easy to work out international agreements to cut down harmful emissions D. it is no longer easy to reach international agreements relating to the environment 24. According to the author, it is impossible at the present to cut 60% of carbon dioxide emissions globally because ___________________________ . A. some people are irresponsible B. it would cause a collapse of the world economy C. it is only a goal to be reached in the future D. some people are lacking in imagination 25. What should all counties do to help solve the problem of global warming? A. They should hold another world conference on climate change. B. They should provide advanced technology. C. They should replace all the harmful substances. D. They should willingly undertake legal commitments about their energy uses. Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. Ramos was brilliant, handsome, wealthy, and one of Rio de Janeiro’s beautiful people. At age thirty-six, he was a permanent plastic surgeon who owned two medical clinics. At parties, he met and talked to famous Hollywood movie personalities and sports stars. He seemed to be the perfect example of the good life. But by March of 1982, thirty-six-year-old Ramos was found in a Brazilian prison charged with eighteen crimes including armed robbery, drug smuggling, and murder. According to police, Ramos used his personal friendships with wealthy people to prepare for his crimes. He would attend the parties of his friends, inspect their houses carefully for valuables, draw diagrams of their homes, and then send in professional burglars to rob them. His victims were jewel designer, diplomats, and wealthy social figures. Sometimes Ramos even stole things himself. One of his crimes was stealing an expensive watch from the famous soccer player, Pele. He also sold stolen cars and used two private airplanes to smuggle cocaine. In the fall of 1981, however, the famous plastic surgeon’s double life came apart. He was arrested after an informant told the police that Ramos was involved in a series of the thefts. Ramos escaped by simply walking out the main door of the Rio de Janeiro police building, but police soon found the body his personal pilot and accused drug-smuggling partner in an old hotel. Police believed he was murdered for informing them about Ramos. Then Ramos hid with another of his accomplices, who was later found 3
