" AAaBBanCCthe 17.Green plants can produce their own food. They use substances in the environment. This process is known as photosynthesis. In contrast, all animals including humans, get their food either directly from plants or indirectly by eating animals which have eaten plants. So animals take in a wider range of foods than plants.Plants are generally stationary. They do not have the power of locomotion. Animals, on the other hand, can usually move around. Therefore, plants appear to be less sensitive than animals although they respond in some ways to light, heat, physical contact and other stimuli.In external appearance plants are usually green. They grow in a branching fashion at their extremities. Their growth continues throughout their lives. Animals, however, are very diverse in their external appearance. Their growth pattern is not limited to their extremities but is evenly distributed. Growth occurs in a definite period of time.The most basic difference between plants and animals is in the unit of structures and functions: i.e. , the cell. Plant cells have a wall which is nonliving in chemical nature whereas animal cells do not have this characteristic.What is the most fundamental difference between plants and animals ()APlants produce their own food but animals don’t.BPlant cells have a wall which is non-living in chemical nature but animal cells haven’t.CPlants are green but animals aren’t.DPlants can’t move but animals can.18.Many phrases used to describe monetary policy, such as steering the economy to a soft landing or a touch on the brakes, makes it sound like a precise science. Nothing could be further from the truth. The relation between interest rates and inflation is uncertain. And there are long, variable lags before policy changes have any effect on the economy. Hence the analogy that likens the conduct of monetary policy to driving a car with a blackened windscreen, a cracked rearview mirror and a faulty steering wheel.Given all these disadvantages, central bankers seem to have had much to boast about. Average inflation in the big seven industrial economies fell to a mere 2.3% last year, close to its lowest level in 30 years, before rising slightly to 2.5% this July. This is a long way below the double-digit rates which many countries experienced in the 1970s and early 1980s.It is also less than most forecasters has predicted. In late 1994 the panel of economists which The Economist polls each month said that America’s inflation rate would average 3.5% in 1995. In fact, it fell to 2.6% in August, and is expected to average only about 3% for the year as a whole. In Britain and Japan inflation is running half a percentage point below the rate predicted at the end of last year. This is no flash in the pan; over the past few years, inflation has been continually lower than expected in Britain and America.Economists have been particularly surprised by favourable inflation figures in Britain and the United States, since conventional measures suggest that both economies, and especially that of America, have little productive slack. America’s capacity utilisation, for example, hit historically high levels earlier this year, and its jobless rate (5.6% in August) has fallen below most estimates of the natural rate of unemployment - the rate below which inflation has taken off in the past.Why has inflation proved so mild The most thrilling explanation is, unfortunately, a little defective. Some economists argue that powerful structural changes in the world have up-ended the old economic models which were based upon the historical link between growth and inflation.According to the text, making monetary policy changes().Ais comparable to driving a car.Bis similar to carrying out scientific work.Cwill not influence the economy immediately.Dwill have an immediate impact on the inflation rate.19.Man has been storing up useful knowledge about himself and the universe at the rate which has been spiraling upward for 10,000 years.The (21) took a sharp upward leap with the invention of writing, but even (22) it remained painfully slow for several centuries. The next great leap forward (23) knowledge acquisition did not occur (24) the invention of movable type in the 15th century by Gutenberg and others. (25) to 1500, by the most optimistic (26) Europe was producing books at a rate of 1000 titles per year. This means that it (27) a full century to produce a library of 100,000 titles. By 1950, four and a half (28) later, the rate had accelerated so sharply that Europe was producing 120,000 titles a year. (29) once took a century now took only ten months. By 1960, a (30) decade later, the rate had made another significant jump, (31) a century’s work could be finished in seven and a half months. (32) , by the mid-sixties, the output of books on a world (33) , Europe included, approached the prodigious figure of 900 titles per day.One can (34) argue that every book is a net gain for the advancement of knowledge. Nevertheless we find that the accelerative (35) in book publication does, in fact, crudely (36) the rate at which man discovered new knowledge. For example, prior to Gutenberg (37) 11 chemical elements were known. Antimony, the 12th, was discovered (38) about the time he was working on his invention. It was fully 200 years since the 11th, arsenic, had been discovered. (39) the same rate of discovery continued, we would by now have added only two or three additional elements to the periodic table since Gutenberg. (40) , in the 450 years after his time, certain people discovered some seventy additional elements. And since 1900 we have been isolating the remaining elements not at a rate of one every two centuries, but of one every three years.21().AaccumulationBdevelopmentCknowledgeDrate20.The demoralizing environment, decrepit (老朽的) building and minimal materials make the high school experience for these children an uphill battle. Merely graduating from such a high school is difficult, much less becoming a high-caliber science or engineering student. Schools with students from a higher socioeconomic level would not tolerate the obstacles I encountered dally. Improvements need to be made efficiently and made soon, or the divisions among people in this country will only become more extreme.Of course, there are things that concerned citizens can do to help. Get involved with a school, especially one in a poor area. Volunteer to give a presentation or just to spend time with the children. My students were excited to talk to an insurance salesperson who came to give a career exploration lecture. They not only were genuinely interested in the opportunities he described but also were amazed that such a man would donate an afternoon to them.Although those measures can help, they are not enough. For teaching to be effective, the entire environment of the inner city needs to be changed. Teaching someone the difference between velocity and acceleration is irrelevant if the person is hungry and scared. Programs that educate parents in child
