　　Part III Reading Comprehension

　　Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.

　　Task 1

　　Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A),B), C) and D). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

　　There is nothing really new about any present-day moral problems. But perhaps they are now more pressing than in previous ages because modern science has greatly increased the scope and range of the consequences of human decisions. This is most obvious in modern warfare. Combatants (战士) can now be far removed from each other and, in the process, distanced from the consequences of their actions. War is also no longer simply a combat between armies; the humane (仁慈的) distinction between combatants and noncombatants has disappeared. This raises the question of whether there can be any "innocent bystanders" in modern conflicts.

　　The problem is at its most extreme with the atomic bombs (原子弹). Many people have questioned the development and production of these bombs, let alone their use, both because their destructiveness outweighs (超过) any justification for their use and because of the probable long-term effects of radiation (辐射). Even the peaceful use of nuclear power carries the risk of pollution of the atmosphere for many generations. Behind the practical problems of using it peacefully is the moral one of whether it is possible to balance the benefits, however great, against the risk, however small and remote.

　　36. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for this passage?

　　A) Modern Warfare C) Problems of Nuclear Reactors

　　B) Science and Moral Problems D) Moral Consideration

　　37. The author would probably agree that in modern conflicts

　　A) everyone would become a victim

　　B) more non-combatants would escape harm

　　C) combatants are not responsible for their actions

　　D) nuclear weapons are more "humane"

　　38. Even the peaceful use of nuclear power is potentially dangerous because of

　　A) long-term deadly pollution C) losing its justification

　　B) an imbalance of benefits D) a change of morals

　　39. The author says the risks of using nuclear power are

　　A) greater than ever C) balanced by the benefits

　　B) small and remote D) practical problems

　　40. The author says that moral problems are more urgent because

　　A) combatants can be more removed than in the past

　　B) nuclear power has become much more dangerous

　　C) science has made human decisions much more complex

　　D) nuclear weapons have greatly increased

　　Task 2

　　Directions: This task is the same as Task1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41through 45.

　　Do you know how to deal with money troubles for the future? Here is some useful advice for people with money worries.

　　1. Compulsive deposits (强制储蓄)：Force yourself to take 15 to 20 per cent of your monthly income and put it in a separate bank account. This won't upset your life a great deal and will give you a good number of rewards in several years' time.

　　2. Separate "wants" from "needs": In keeping your accounts, list different items in two different columns. Check what you need and what you want, meaning things you may not necessarily need.

　　3. Avoid shopping with friends: You may only buy one blouse when you are shopping alone, but you may also pick up a skirt and a pair of shoes or maybe a luxurious () dinner and two

　　hours of Karaoke if you are with someone.

　　4. Avoid using credit cards: Bring along only a limited amount of money when you go shopping and spend no more than what you have planned.

　　The easiest and most economical way to travel around London is with a travelcard. This gives you the freedom of London's trains, tubes and buses. It's perfect for the visitor because one ticket combines travel on the trains of Network Southeast with the underground, Dockland Light railway and most of London buses. It's more convenient than buying separate tickets for each journey. Travelcards are available from any train or tube station.

　　A one-day travelcard is ideal for a day's shopping, sightseeing, and all tourist trip in London. You can travel anywhere you like within the vast 650 square mile travelcard area. No need to keep queuing for tickets or carry a pocketful of change for ticket machines, just use whatever form of transport suits you best for any combination of trips. One-day travelcards can be bought from staffed train or tube stations after 9:30 am at weekdays and any time at weekends.

　　Travelcard season tickets include 7-day, monthly and annual tickets. This is the modern, convenient and flexible ticket for your daily journey to work. For travelcard season tickets, please bring a passport size photograph with you.
