29、ssages followed by twentyquestions,each with four suggested answers.Choose the ONE that you thinkis the best answer.P a ssa ge 1He was a funny looking man with a cheerful face,good natured and a greattalker.He was described by his student,the great philosopher Plato,as“the best and most just and wis

30、est man”.Yet,this same man was condemnedto death for his beliefs.The man was the Greek philosopher,Socrates,and he was condemned for notbelieving in the recognized gods and for corrupting young people.Thesecond charge stemmed from his association with numerous young men whocame to A thens from all o

31、ver the civilized world to study under him.Socrates，method of teaching was to ask questions and,by pretending notto know the answers,to press his students into thinking for themselves.His teaching had unsurpassed influence on all the great Greek and Romanschools of philosophy.Yet,for all his fame an

32、d influence,Socrateshimself never wrote a word.Socrates encouraged new ideas and free thinking in the young,and thiswas frightening to the conservative people.They wanted him silenced.Yet,many were probably surprised that he accepted death so readily.Socrates had the right to ask for a lesser penalt

33、y,and he probably couldhave won over enough of the people who had previously condemned him.B utSocrates,as a firm believer in law,reasoned that it was proper to submitto the death sentence.So,he calmly accepted his fate and drank a cupof poison hemlock in the presence of his grief-stricken friends a

34、ndstudents.51.In the first paragraph,the word“yet is used to i n t r o d u c e.A.contrast B.a sequenceC.emphasis D.an example52.Socrates was condemned to death because he.A.believed in lawB.was a philosopherC.published outspoken philosophical articlesD.advocated original（新颖的，独到的）opinions53.The word“

36、ates used the work of his students in teachingD.the authorities refused to publish Socrates，works55.Socrates accepted the death penalty to show.A.his belief in his studentsB.his contempt for conservativesC.his recognition of the legal systemD.that he was not afraid of deathP a ssa ge 2In an intact p

37、lant community,undisturbed by human intervention,thecomposition of a community is mainly a function of the climate and thetype of soil.Today,such original communities are very rare-they arepractically limited to national parks and reservations.Civilization has progressively transformed the condition

38、s determiningthe composition of plant communities.For several thousand years vastareas of arable land（耕地）have been hoed,ploughed,harrowed andgrassland has been cut or grazed（吃草）.During the last decades theuse of chemical substances,such as fertilizers and most recently of weedkillers（herbicides）has

39、greatly influenced the composition of weedcommunities in farm land.A ll selective herbicides have specific ranges of activity.They controlthe most important weeds but not all the plants of a community.The latterprofit from the new free space and from the fertilizer as much as the cropdoes;hence they

40、 often spread rapidly and become problem weeds unlessanother herbicide for their eradication（根除）is found.The soil contains enormous quantities of seeds of numerous species-upto half a million per m 2 according to scientific literature-that retaintheir ability to germinate（生长）for decades.Thus it may

41、occur thatweeds that were hardly noticed before emerge in masses after theelimination of their competitors.Hence,the knowledge of the compositionof weed communities before selective weed killers are applied is not onlyof scientific interest since the plant species present in the soil in theform of s

42、eeds much be considered as potential weeds.For efficient controlthe identification of weeds at the seedling stage,i.e.at a time whenthey can still be controlled,is particularly necessary;for the choiceof the appropriate herbicide depends on the composition of the weedcommunity.56.The composition of

43、a plant c o m m u n i t y.A.depends on climate and soil type in a virgin environment undamaged byhuman beingsB.was greatly affected by human beings before they started using chemicalsubstances on the soilC.was radically transformed by uncivilized human beingsD.refers to plants,trees,climate,type of

44、soil and the ecologicalenvironment57.The composition of weed communities in farmland has changed becauseof.A.human civilizationB.human interventionC.the use of chemical substancesD.human activities of farming58.Why are there problem weeds?A.B ecause they are the weeds that cannot be eradicated by he

45、rbicides.B.Because all selective herbicides can encourage the growth of previouslyunimportant weeds by eliminating their competitors.C.Because they were hardly considered before so that their seeds werenot prevented from germinating.D.Because they benefit greatly from the fertilizer applied to the f

46、armland.59.A knowledge of the composition of a weed c o m m u n i t y.A.is essential to the efficient control of weedsB.may lead us to be aware of the fact that the soil contains enormousquantities of seeds of numerous speciesC.helps us to have a good idea of why seeds can lie dormant for yearsD.pro

48、rt zone”regulating thedistance they stand from someone when they talk?This distance varies ininteresting ways among people of different cultures.Greeks,others of the Eastern Mediterranean,and many of those from SouthAmerica normally stand quite close together when they talk,often movingtheir faces e

49、ven closer as they warm up in a conversation.North Americansfind this awkward and often back away a few inches.Studies have foundthat they tend to feel most comfortable at about 21 inches apart.In muchof Asia and Africa,there is even more space between two speakers inconversation.This greater space

50、subtly lends an air of dignity andrespect.This matter of space is nearly always unconscious,but it isinteresting to observe.This difference applies also to the closeness with which people sittogether,the extent to which they lean over one another in conversation,how they move as they argue or make a
