America must recognize this new course of events. Our success in shaping world events over the past 40 years has been the direct result of our ability to adapt technology and to take advantage of the capabilities of our people for the purpose of maintaining peace. Our industrial prowess(威力)over most of this period was unchallenged. It is ironic(有讽刺性的) that it is just this prowess that has enabled other countries to prosper and in turn to threaten our industrial leadership.
The competitiveness of America's industrial base is an issue bigger than the department of defense and is going to require the efforts of the major institutional forces in our society, government, industry, and education. That is not to say that the defense department will not be a strong force in the process. But we simply cannot be, nor should we be, looked upon by others as the savior(救星) of American industry.
Now a nation's political influence depends on______.
A．the strength of its military forces
B．its ability to compete in industry
C．economic markets
D．both A and B
听力原文： The Civil War came about as a result of many differences between the North and the South. The differences bad their beginnings in the early 1800s. Tensions continued to grow for several decades. When the war began in 1861, most Americans believed the conflict would not last long. Instead, it stretched into four years of bloody fight(29). In the end, more Americans died in the Civil War than in any war the nation had fought.
The disagreements between the North and the South centered on the following five issues: slavery, tariffs, taxes, political power in the House of Representative, and political power in the Senate(30). People in the North had strong feelings about each of these issues. So did the people in the South. Each side had reasons for the way it felt.
Many people in the North did not believe in slavery. They thought the people of the South should not own slaves. Although some southerners opposed slavery, most felt they needed slaves to raise cotton and tobacco, which were the pillar economy. On the other hand, the North's economy was based on manufacturing industry not plantation agriculture. The northerners opposed slavery in the South since they had not enough people to work in their factories and wanted to get human resources (31). In the end the North won the war and the Union was saved.
(30)
A．In 1816.
B．In the middle of 1800s.
C．In 1861.
D．In 1865.
_1_ about it afterward. We say we want only the best, but we strangely enjoy junk food. We're _2_ with health and weight loss but face an unprecedented epidemic of obesity（肥胖）. Perhaps the _3_ to this ambivalence（矛盾情结）lies in our history. The first Europeans came to this continent searching for new spices but went in vain. The first cash crop（经济作物）wasn't eaten but smoked. Then there was Prohibition, intended to prohibit drinking but actually encouraging more _4_ ways of doing it.
The immigrant experience, too, has been one of inharmony. Do as Romans do means eating what “real Americans” eat, but our nation's food has come to be _5_ by imports—pizza, say, or hot dogs. And some of the country's most treasured cooking comes from people who arrived here in shackles.
Perhaps it should come as no surprise then that food has been a medium for the nation's defining struggles, whether at the Boston Tea Party or the sitins at southern lunch counters. It is integral to our concepts of health and even morality whether one refrains from alcohol for religious reasons or evades meat for political.
But strong opinions have not brought _7_ . Americans are ambivalent about what they put in their mouths. We have become _8_ of our foods, especially as we learn more about what they contain.
The _9_ in food is still prosperous in the American consciousness. It's no coincidence, then, that the first Thanksgiving holds the American imagination in such bondage（束缚）. It's what we eat—and how we _10_ it with friends, family, and strangers—that help define America as a community today.
A. answer
I. creative
B. result
J. belief
C. share
K. suspicious
D. guilty
L. certainty
E. constant
M. obsessed
F. defined
N. identify
G. vanish
O. ideals
H. adapted
The Security Council has the power to define what is a threat to security, to determine how the UN should respond, and to enforce its decisions by ordering UN members to take certain actions.
The Council convenes(召集)any time there is a threat to peace. A representative from each member country who sits on the Council must be available at all times so that the Council can meet at a moment's notice. The Security Council also frequently meets at the request of a UN member—often a nation with a grievance (委屈，冤情) about another nation's actions.
The Security Council has 15 members, five of which hold permanent seats. The Assembly elects the other ten members for two-year terms. The five permanent members — the United States, Britain, France, Russia (formerly the Soviet Union), and China have the most power. These nations were the winning powers at the end of World War II, and they still represent the bulk of the world's military might.
Decisions of the Council require nine votes. But any one of the permanent members can veto an important decision. This authority is known as the veto right of the great powers. As a result, the Council is effective only when its permanent members can reach a consensus(一致同意).
The Council has a variety of ways it can try to resolve conflicts among countries. Usually the Council's first step is to encourage the countries to settle their disagreements without violence. The Council can mediate (仲裁，调停) a dispute or recommend guidelines for a settlement. It can send peacekeeping troops into a distressed area. If a war breaks out, the Council can call for a ceasefire. It can enforce its decisions by imposing economic sanctions on a country, or through joint military action.
Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？
A．The Security Council convenes annually.
B．All UN members should observe the decisions adopted by the Security Council.
C．Although one member seriously complains about another member's action, the Security Council will not convene at its request.
D．The five permanent members of the Security Council hold less than one half armed forces in the world.

In the 1920s demand for American farm products fell, as European countries began to recover from World War I and instituted austerity (紧缩) programs to reduce their imports. The result was a sharp drop in farm prices. This period was more disastrous for farmers than earlier times had been, because farmers were no longer self-sufficient. They were paying for machinery, seed, and fertilizer, and they were also buying consumer goods. The prices of the items farmers bought remained constant, while prices they received for their products fell. These developments were made worse by the Great Depression, which began in 1929 and extended throughout the 1939s.
In 1929, under President Herbert Hoover, the Federal Farm Board was organized. It established the principle of direct interference with supply and demand, and it represented the first national commitment to provide greater economic stability for farmers. President Hoover' s successor attached even more importance to this problem. One of the first measures proposed by President Franklin D． Roosevelt when he took office in 1933 was the Agricultural Adjustment Act, which was subsequently passed by Congress. This law gave the Secretary of Agriculture the power to reduce production through voluntary agreements with farmers who were paid to take their land out of use.A deliberate scarcity of farm, products was planned in an effort to raise prices. This law was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court on the grounds that general taxes were being collected to pay one special group of people.However, new laws were passed immediately that achieved the same result of resting soil and providing flood-control measures, but which were based on the principle of soil conservation. The Roosevelt Administration believed that rebuilding the nation' s soil was in the national interest and Was not simply a plan to help farmers at the expense of other citizens. Later the government guaranteed loans to farmers so that they could buy farm machinery, hybrid (杂交)grain, and fertilizers.
第 21 题 What brought about the decline in the demand for American farm products？
A．The impact of the Great Depression.
B．The shrinking of overseas markets.
C．The destruction caused by WWI.
D．The increased exports of European countries.
Applied research, undertaken to solve specific practical problems, has an immediate attractiveness because the results can be seen and enjoyed. For practical reasons, the sums spent on applied research in any country always far exceed those for basic research, and the proportions are more unequal in the less developed countries. Leaving aside the funds devoted to research by industry--which is naturally far more concerned with applied aspects because these increase profits quickly--the funds the U.S. Government allots to basic research currently amount to about 7 percent of its overall research and development funds. Unless adequate safeguards are provided, applied research invariably tends to drive out basic. Then, as Dr. Waterman has pointed out, "Developments will inevitably be undertaken prematurely, career incentives will gravitate strongly toward applied science, and the opportunities for making major scientific discoveries will be lost. Unfortunately, pressures to emphasize new developments, without corresponding emphasis upon pure science tend to degrade the quality of the nation% technology in the long run, rather than to improve it."
The title below that best expresses the ideas of this passage is ______.
A．Roentgen's Ignorance of X-rays
B．The Attractiveness of Applied Research
C．The Importance of Basic Research
D．Basic Research vs. Applied Research

"Ah, yes," replied the manager, "but America has treasures that Japan can never hope to possess."
"You mean our mineral wealth and bountiful farms？"
"All, no. I was referring to Caltech and MIT."
America's scientific institutions-its technological universities and government laboratories-are the envy of the world, producing ideas, devices and medicines that have made the U.S. prosperous, improved the lives of people around the globe and profoundly affected their perception of the world and the universe. This tremendous creativity is reflected in the technical reports that are published in scientific journals throughout the world. Fully 35% of them come from scientists doing their research at American institutions.
Yet American dominance can no longer be taken for granted. Many recent U.S. achievements and awards stem in large measure from generous research grants of the past, and any weakening of government and industry commitment to support of basic research could in the next few decades cost the nation its scientific leadership. Some slipping is already divalent. In high-energy physics, where Americans once reigned supreme, Western Europe now spends roughly twice as much money as the U.S. Result: the major high-energy physics discoveries of the past few years have been made not by Americans but by Europeans.
Even so, money alone cannot guarantee scientific supremacy. Freedom of inquiry, an intellectually stimulating environment and continuous recruitment of the best minds must accompany it. That combination has been achieved in many U.S. institutions-educational, governmental and industrial-but perhaps nowhere more successfully than at the National Institutes of Health, Bell Laboratories and Caltech.
America's technological universities and government laboratories are generally______.
A．loved by scientists in other parts of the world
B．disliked by scientists in other parts of the world
C．admired by scientists in other parts of the world
D．jealous of scientists in other parts of the world

Meanwhile world population is spiraling upward, and the most rapid increases are being made in just those regions where getting proper nourishment is the greatest problem. Today while the people of the "have" countries are well fed and are piling up surpluses of foodstuffs, in the "have-not" countries more millions than ever are going hungry every day.
In recent years, however, there has been a great "awakening of the common man." People who previously had little contact with the outside world have begun to rub shoulders with people from other, better-developed countries.
They have begun to realize, as an expert puts it, that "poverty is not a God-given state of life." Moreover, the "have" nations of the world have began to realize that no single nation, however prosperous, can exist for itself alone. The entire world is so bound together today by ties of trade and travel that poverty and famine anywhere threaten the richest of the nations along with the poorest. As a result, much thought and skilled effort are being devoted to improving food supplies in the underfed areas.
Many of the world's food problems are quite evident and can be attacked directly. Some farmers are still using tools and methods dating back to prehistoric times, you may say. Bring their methods up to date with modern tools and machines, teach them to fertilize and irrigate their soil, provide them with good seed and good animals to raise, and they soon will be producing plenty for themselves.
This approach is being followed; the agronomist in Greece, the farm expert in Afghanistan, and many others are doing all they can to improve agricultural techniques in countless widely scattered farm communities. But behind every problem that can be solved by machinery or a packet of seed or a sack of fertilizer looms a human problem having to do with what has long been known as social lag.
Whenever you try to revolutionize the ways of a people, you run into a maze(错综复杂的曲径) of intricate, interlocked problems. The behavior. of human beings is complex and cannot be controlled as simple as the behavior. of white mice in a laboratory. What seems an obvious solution may prove difficult, even impossible, to carry out.
The solution to the world's food problems depends on ______.
A．modern methods of farming
B．providing family farms
C．solving problems besides growing food
D．the help of "have" countries
