全国英语四级考前指导试题训练 Police fired tear gas and arrested more than 5,000passively resisting protestors Friday in an attempt tobreak up the largest antinuclear demonstration everstaged in the United States. More than 135,000 demonstrators confronted police on the construction site of a 1,000-megawatt nuclear power plant scheduled to provide power to most of southern New Hampshire. Organizers of the huge demonstration said, the protest was continuing despite the police actions. More demonstrators were arriving to keep up the pressure on state authorities to cancel the project. The demonstrator had charged that the project was unsafe in the densely populated area, would create thermal pollution in the bay, and had no acceptable means for disposing of its radioactive wasters. The demonstrations would go on until the jails and the courts were so overloaded that the state judicial system would collapse. Governor Stanforth Thumper insisted that there would be no reconsideration of the power project and no delay in its construction set for completion in three years.This project will begin on time and the people of this state will begin to receive its benefits on schedule. Those who break the law in misguided attempts to sabotage the project will be dealt with according to the law, he said. And police called in reinforcements from all over the state to handle the disturbances. The protests began before dawn Friday when several thousand demonstrators broke through police lines around the cordoned-off construction site. They carried placards that read No Nukesis Good Nukes,Sunpower, Not Nuclear Power, and Stop Private Profits from Public Peril. Theydefied police order to move from the area. Tear gas canisters fired by police failed to dislodgethe protestors who had come prepared with their own gas masks or facecloths. Finally gas-masked and helmeted police charged into the crowd to drag off the demonstrators one by one. The protestors did not resist police, but refused to walk away under their own power.

C 抗议建立核电站规划。不是抗议核电站。B. 核电站还未建，所以不对。A. 私人利益 和 D. 公共危急，这些都是牌上之口号不是抗议的主攻方向。 2. D 双方。 最终一段第四行最终和第五行“抗议者预备了他们自己的防毒面具或面罩。最终，头戴防毒面具和头盔的警察冲进人群一个一个地抓逮者。”所以说两方面都有防毒面具。 3. A 公共交通运输。 B. 公共危急。 C. 污染。 D. 废料处理，是三个抗议的理由。 4. B 被逮捕的者。第一段最终一行“要连续下去直到州监牢和州法庭人满为患，从而使州司法体系倒台。”说明者预备去坐牢，决不服输的决心。而人多到监牢装不下证明州司法的问题。所以这里只能是被抓的者。 A. 犯人。 C. 罪犯。D.抗议者。警察不行能抓全部的抗议者。关在牢里的只能是被抓的者。 5. A 固执己见，冥顽不化。见其次段他坚持说核电站规划不用再考虑，三年内肯定要建成，规划准时开头，本州人民到时候就能获益。对这些违法企图破坏规划的人依法惩办。并且从州内各处调集警察来处理这次“骚乱”。从语言到行动都说明，这位州长固执己见，顽固得很。B. 坚持的。 C. 不能解决的。 D. 可宽恕的。 【全国英语四级考前指导试题训练】
