We should also know that "greed" is little related to the environmental crisis. The two ma
in factors are population pressures, especially the pressures of large metropolitan populations, and the desire to bring a decent living with the lowest possible cost to the largest possible number of people.

The environmental crisis is the result of success in cutting down the morality of infants (which has given us the population explosion), success in increasing farm output sufficiently to prevent mass famine, success in getting people out of the tenements of the 19th century city and into the greenery anti privacy of single family home in the suburbs (which has given us urban sprawl and traffic jams). The environmental crisis, in other words, is the result of doing too much of the right sort of thing at large.

To overcome the problems that success always creates, one mast build on it. But where to start? Cleaning up the environment requires determined, sustained effort with clear targets and deadlines it needed, above all, concentration of effort. Up to now we have tried to do a little bit of everything, what we ought to do first is to draft a list of priorities.

This passage assumed the desirability of ______.

A.living in comfortable family life-style

B.setting disputes peacefully

C.combating cancer and heart disease with energetic research

D.having greater government involvement in people's daily life

What is the 'biggest city in the world? That is,【21】city has the largest population? This
seems like【22】question to answer, but actually it isn't.

It's actually rather difficult to say which cities【23】the largest. There are two reasons for this difficulty. First of all, it isn't easy to determine a city's boundaries, that is, where a city ends. Nowadays, nearly all cities have a large【24】area around them. So when we talk about the population of a city, we often mean the population of the whole metropolitan area around the city. That means that it's difficult to determine what the population of a city is because it's difficult to define what a city is.

The second reason that it is difficult to【25】the population of different cities is this: it is almost impossible to get【26】about the population of all cities for the same year. For example, we might get an estimate of New York's population in 1979 and an【27】of Mexico City's population in 1981. So we real ly can't compare the numbers because the information is for【28】different years. And the population of cities changes rather quickly, especially in some cases. For example, the population of Jakarta, Indonesia, may increase by 5% each year, so the population figure will change rather quickly.

So we can say that these are our two【29】for comparing the populations of cities: one, it's difficult to determine the【30】of a city, and two, it is difficult to get accurate information.

"How was your weekend?" This question comes up at workplaces all over the United States ev

"How was your weekend?"

This question comes up at workplaces all over the United States every Monday morning as people greet each other. It is another way of saying, "How did you spend your leisure time?"

In the Unites States the way people spend their leisure time is an important part of their identity. Perhaps everybody does nearly the same thing all day in the office or the factory, but leisure time is what makes people distinct and reveals who they are.

For many people, leisure time means going somewhere -- to a museum, a concert, a restaurant, or a baseball game. Or it means doing something such as playing volleyball, backpacking, swimming, singing in a chorus (合唱), or playing in a park with their children. For other people, free time means staying home with wonderful sources of entertainment, such as VCR, stereo or cable TV with dozens of channels. Others pursue creative activities such as cooking, gardening, and home improvement. The latest stay-at, home activity is "surfing (冲浪) the net" -- that is, looking for information and entertainment on the Internet.

In the United States, leisure time is big business. Enormous amounts of money are spent by competing enterprises that make and sell the goods and services that people use in their free time. In fact, shopping itself is an important leisure time activity. Spending a day at a giant mall has become, for some people, as interesting as spending the day at museum or amusement park.

People in the United States are ultimately not much different from others in what they do in their leisure time. The real difference may lie in the energy, time, money, and sheer enthusiasm that they devote to it.

Why do Americans often greet each other by asking "How did you spend your leisure time?"

A.Because they are interested in the different pastime activities.

B.Because leisure time is what makes people different from each other.

C.Because they are bored with the job they have done for the whole week.

D.Because everybody does the same thing all day long.

听力原文:M: So, what do you want to do tomorrow?

W: Well, let's look at this city guide here. Uh, here's something interesting. Oh! Why don't we first visit the art museum in the morning.

M: Okay. I like that idea. And where do you want to eat lunch?

W: How about going to an Indian restaurant? Humm. The guide recommends one downtown a few blocks from the museum.

M: Now that sounds great. After that, what do you think about visiting the zoo? Umm, well, it says here that there are some very unique animals not found anywhere else.

W: Well, to tell the truth, I'm not really interested in going there. Why don't we go shopping instead? There are supposed to be some really nice places to pick up souvenirs.

M: Nail, I don't think that's a good idea. We only have few traveler's checks left, and I only have fifty dollars left in cash.

W: No problem. We can use your credit card to pay for MY new clothes.

M: Oh, no. I remember the last time you used my credit card for your purchases.

W: oh well. Let's take the Subway down to the seashore and walk along the beach,

M: Now that sounds like a wonderful plan.

Section B

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. 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.

Children's museums in America are delivering a report card to be envied.

Since 1990, estimated I00 youth museums have opened, with at least 80 more in the planning phase. There are now 215 such institutions in the United States focusing on a variety of themes and subjects, although many are mainly designed for science popularization.

"Children's museums are the fastest-growing cultural institutions in the world," says Janet Rice Elman, executive director of the Association of Youth Museums in the US. "That trend will continue as we see more communities wanting to start up children's museums to enrich civic (公民的) and family life."

With the availability of these new facilities, attendance has sky-rocketed, in 1991, 8 million people visited US children's museums; last year, 33 million people went through their doors.

This cheerful picture is part of a comprehensive look at children's museums released last week by the association during its annual conference in St. Louis.

The growth can be traced to the nation's rising number of children, the push to foster learning from a variety of approaches, and the increasing popularity of museums in general.

Children's museums are a favorite destination for groups of school children on school-organized "field trips". During these days outside the classroom, students have the chance to learn about a range of topics in a fun, hands-on way.

Students visiting a children's museum can see exhibits on anything from natural history to anatomy (解剖学) to astronomy (天文学). The museums focus on interactive learning, with games and demonstrations designed to help kids learn without realizing they're doing so.

The museums are also a popular destination for families, allowing parents to become more involved in their kids' education and give parents and children a chance to have fun together.

How many children's museums have been set up in America in the past 15 years?

A.About 100.

B.Less than 80.

C.Over 180.

D.Altogether 215.

An ideal college should be a community, a place of close, natural, intimate association, n
ot only of the young men who are its pupils and novices in various lines of study, but also of young men with older men, with veterans and professionals in the great undertaking of learning, of teachers with pupils, outside the classroom as well as inside it. No one is successfully educated within the walls of any particular classroom or laboratory or museum; and no amount of association, however close and familiar and delightful, between mere beginners can ever produce the sort of enlightenment which the young lad gets when he first begins to catch the infection of learning. The trouble with most of our colleges nowadays is that the faculty of the college live one life and the undergraduates quite a different one. They constitute two communities. The life of the undergraduates is not touched with the personal influence of the teachers: life among the teachers is not touched by the personal impressions which should come from frequent and intimate contact with undergraduates. This separation need not exist, and, in the college of the ideal university, would not exist.

It is perfectly possible to organize the life of our colleges in such a way that students and teachers alike will take part in it; in such a way that a perfectly natural daily intercourse will be established between them; and it is only by such an organization that they can be given real vitality as places of serious training, be made communities in which youngsters will come fully to realize how interesting intellectual work is, how vital, how important, how closely associated with all modern achievement--only by such an organization that study can be made to seem part of life itself. Lectures often seem very formal and empty things; recitations generally prove very dull and unrewarding. It is in conversation and natural intercourse with scholars chiefly that you find how lively knowledge is, how it ties into everything that is interesting and important, how intimate a part it is of everything that is "practical" and connected with the world. Men are not always made thoughtful by books; but they are generally made thoughtful by association with men who think.

The present and most pressing problem of our university authorities is to bring about this vital association for the benefit of the novices of the university world, the undergraduates. Classroom methods are thorough enough; competent scholars already lecture and set tasks and superintend their performance; but the life of the average undergraduate outside the classroom and other stated appointments with his instructors is not very much affected by his studies, and is entirely dissociated from intellectual interests.

An ideal college ______.

A.should have mature, experienced and professional men on its staff

B.should be managed by experienced scholars

C.should be managed by experienced scholars and energetic young men

D.should see tight, harmonious connection between the experienced and the inexperienced
