Part Reading Comprehension
(50 minutes, 30 points)
Directions: There are 6 passages in this part. 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 mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with single line through the center.
Questions 36to 40 are based on the following passage.
In the USA 85% of the population over the age of 21 approve of the death penalty, in the many states which can take up to 20 minutes to kill, while others use gas or lethal injection.
The first of these was the case of Ruth Ellis who was hanged for shooting her lover in what was generally regarded as a crime of passion. The second was hanged for murders which it was later proved, had been committed by someone else.
The pro-hanging lobby (赞成极刑的活动集团) uses four main arguments to support its call for the reintroduction of capital punishment. First there is the deterrence theory, which argues that potential murderers would think twice before committing the act if they knew that they might die if they were caught. The armed bank robber might, likewise go back to being unarmed.
The other two arguments are more suspect. The idea of retribution demands that criminals should get what they deserve: if a murderer intentionally. set out to commit a crime, he should accept the consequences. Retribution, which is just another word for revenge, is supported by the religious doctrine of an eye for an eye and a tooth for tooth.
The arguments against the death penalty are largely humanitarian (人道主义的) . But there are also statistical reasons for opposing it: the deterrence Figures do not add up. In Britain, 1903 was the record year for executions and yet in l904 the number of murders actually rose. There was a similar occurrence in 1946 and 1947. If the deterrence theory were correct, the rate should have fallen.
The other reasons to oppose the death penalty are largely a matter of individual conscience and belief. One is that murder is murder and that the state has no more right to take a life than the individual. The other is that Christianity advises forgiveness, not revenge.
36. The passage is mainly about _______.
A) the argument in favor of the death penalty
B) the argument against the death penalty
C) the argument about the reintroduction of the death penalty
D) the argument about the abolition of the death penalty
37. All of the following death penalty methods are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT_______.
A) the electric chair B)the lethal injection
C) the poisonous gas D)the shooting
38. According to the first four paragraphs, which of the following statements if NOT correct?
A) The death penalty may help the potential murderers to arouse moral awareness.
b) Ruth Ellis was shot by his lover, which was regarded as a crime of passion.
C) The intentional murderer should eat his own bitter fruit.
D) According to the religious doctrine, punishment should be as severe as the injury suffered.
39.In paragraph 3, "deterrence" means _______.
A) proclamation B) protest
C) protection D) prevention
40.We can learn from the last paragraph that _______.
A) neither the state nor the individual has the right to take a life
B) the state has the right to take a life but the individual does not
C) the death penalty has noting to do with individual consequence and belief
D) the deterrence figures have added up and the execution rate has fallen.
Questions 41to 45 are based on the following passage.
Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room? In 2040 it will not matter. They will turn themselves off and on again when you return. You will choose the temperatures for each room. The lighting and the humidity. A sensor will detect the presence of a human (and, with luck, ignore the dog!) and turn the systems on and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.
The sensors will work through the central home computer. and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you . They will detect faulty electrical appliances, plugs or switches. isolate them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house the computer will call the fire brigade. it will also call the police should the sensors detect an intruder This will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic. You will open them using your personal card- the one you use for shopping-maybe using a number known only to you.
Ii will be impossible to lose the key and. a housebreaker will have to tamper(拨弄) with the lock or with a window. It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer.
The computer will be more than a fireman-policeman-servant. It will be an entertainer, and most of your entertainment will come right into your home. It does now, of course, but by 2040 "entertainment". will mean much more. For one thing, you will be able to take part actively rather than just watching. . .
41. The author intends to tell us that _______.
A) in 2040 we will live without the lights and heaters
B) in 2040 we will use much more lights and heaters
C) in 2040【责编:捣蛋少帅】-
