11、sage 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 write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.At the Kyoto conference on glob

12、al warming in December 1997, it became abundantly clear how complex it has become to work out international agreements relating to the environment because of economic concerns unique to each country. It is no longer enough to try to forbid certain activities or to reduce emissions of certain substan

13、ces. The global challenges of the interlink between the environment and the development increasingly brings us to the core of the economic life of the states. During the late 1980s we were able, through international agreements, to make deep cuts in emissions harmful to the ozone layer. These reduct

14、ions were made possible because substitutions had been found for many of the harmful chemicals and, more important, because the harmful substances could be replaced without negative effects on employment and economies of states.Although the threat of global warming has been known to the world for de

15、cades and all countries and leaders agree that we need to deal the problem, we also know that the effects of measures, especially harsh measures taken in some countries, would be nullified(使无效，取消) if other countries do not control their emissions. Whereas the UN team on climate change has found that

16、 the emissions of carbon dioxide would have to be cut globally by 60% to stabilize the content of CO2 in the atmosphere, this path is not feasible for several reasons. Such deep cuts would cause a breakdown of the world economy. Important and populous low-or-medium-income countries are not yet willi

17、ng to undertake legal commitments about their energy uses. In addition, the state of world technology would not yet permit us to make such a big leap.We must, however, find a solution to the threat of global warming early in the 21st century. Such a commitment would require a degree of shared vision

18、 and common responsibilities new to humanity. Success lies in the force of imaginations, in imagining what would happen if we fail to act. Although many living in cold regions would welcome the global warming effects of a warmer summer, few would cheer the arrival of the subsequent tropical diseases

19、, especially where there had been none.21.

21、he world technology is not able to solve the problem23. In the passage the author implies that _ .A. the world has recently become aware of the threat of global warmingB. the problem of global warming has largely been solvedC. it is easy to work out international agreements to cut down harmful emiss

22、ionsD. it is no longer easy to reach international agreements relating to the environment24. According to the author, it is impossible at the present to cut 60% of carbon dioxide emissions globally because _ .A. some people are irresponsibleB. it would cause a collapse of the world economyC. it is o

At age thirty-six, he was a permanent plastic surgeon who owned two medic

25、al clinics. At parties, he met and talked to famous Hollywood movie personalities and sports stars. He seemed to be the perfect example of the good life. But by March of 1982, thirty-six-year-old Ramos was found in a Brazilian prison charged with eighteen crimes including armed robbery, drug smuggli

26、ng, and murder. According to police, Ramos used his personal friendships with wealthy people to prepare for his crimes. He would attend the parties of his friends, inspect their houses carefully for valuables, draw diagrams of their homes, and then send in professional burglars to rob them. His vict

27、ims were jewel designer, diplomats, and wealthy social figures. Sometimes Ramos even stole things himself. One of his crimes was stealing an expensive watch from the famous soccer player, Pele. He also sold stolen cars and used two private airplanes to smuggle cocaine. In the fall of 1981, however,

28、the famous plastic surgeons double life came apart. He was arrested after an informant told the police that Ramos was involved in a series of the thefts.

30、od. When he was caught, he had a diamond ring worth over $90,000 in his jeans pocket. In later interviews, Ramos said he really didnt know he committed the crimes. He denied the murders, and his lawyers said he was insane. Perhaps one reason for Ramoss behavior could be found in his family history.

36、ing its rail system. Of major concern to Amtrak and its advertising agency DDB Needham, were the long-distance western routes where ridership had been declining significantly.

38、encourage consumers to consider other aspects of train travel in order to change their attitudes and increase the likelihood that trains would be considered for travel in the west.

39、ess and 2) travel-lovers-those viewing themselves as relaxed, casual, and interested in the travel experience as part of their vacation.

To illustrate the important role of persuasive communication in changing consumer attitudes.C. To stress the influence of the aut

43、omobile on Americas standard of convenience.D. To emphasize the function of travel agencies in market promotion.32.
