Pesticides are chemicals that are intended to protect food plants against insects and blight (枯萎病) from disease. ()ne of the first, and most effective, modern pesticides is called Dichloro-Diphenyl-Trichloroethane, better known as DDT. It was developed during World War Two and originally used against mosquitoes that carried malaria ( ), as well as other diseases spread by insects.
After the war, DDT began to be widely used as an agricultural insecticide. It was extremely effective and its popularity grew. After a while, however, some problems appeared. Many species of insect developed resistance to DDT, and the chemical was also discovered to be very dangerous to fish. It ran off from the land and poisoned many rivers.
Rachel Carson, in her 1962 book Silent Spring , gave a sharp warning about the dangers of using DDT. The book questioned the abundant use of chemicals before their effects on vegetation c植被) , wildlife, and human health are fully understood. Many people were influenced by Carson's book. Her views were eventually accepted, and DDT was banned in the United States in 1973. Most other countries followed, and it has rarely been used since.
Now, some critics of the ban point out that malaria kills two million people a year in Africa. Continuing to ban DDT, they say, endangers large numbers of people who are not fortunate enough to live in malaria-free countries. A recent article in a medical journal argues that efforts to control malaria should include greater use of DDT because it is the cheapest and most effective method.
49. DDT was probably first used in the .
A.1920s B.1940s C.1960s D.1980s
50. What was N()T a problem caused by DDT?
A. It killed a lot of fish. B. Insects developed resistance to it.
C. It poisoned rivers. D. It caused insects to increase.
51. What was an effect of Rachel Carson's book?
A. DDT was forbidden in many countries.
B. People fully understood the effects of DDT.
C. A new type of DDT was developed.
D. A solution to DDT was developed.
52. The passage challenges Carson's view by saying that _ .
A. a ban on DTT did not solve the problem of water pollution
B. it has been confirmed that DDT is beneficial to health
C. Banning DDT will expose large numbers of people to malaria
D. scientists have found that insects do not develop resistance to DDT
C
It is the combination of music and motion. And its history may be as long as the history of the human race. Dance is a means of self-expression, a method of communication, a part of religious ceremonies, or just a way to have fun. It may be the oldest of the arts, and is certainly one of the most popular. People dance in every culture and society in the world.
Egypt was one of the first major civilizations to pour into its society with the magic of dance. It was a vital element in religious festivals. The same was true of ancient Greece. The famous philosopher Aristotle also regarded dancing as a type of poetry. He described certain dancers as having the ability to express action and emotion.
Dance became a form of high art in Europe with the development of ballet during the 16th century. Beginning in Italy, ballet moved on to France. Choreography (舞蹈艺术) took on great diversity as new themes were explored and presented. By the 1800s, ballet had moved into the age of Romanticism, and ballet themes drew upon human emotions, fantasies and spiritual elements.
This was also the time when social dancing came to the forefront of European life. Dances such as the waltz, which had only been performed by nobles and royalty before, became popular among ordinary people. The waltz stood for a freedom of expression and movement that was influenced by political and social change in Europe at that time.
53. Aristotle once considered dancing as _____
A. a method of communication B. a way to have fun
C. a type of poetry D. a part of religious ceremonies
54. Ballet started in
A. France B. Italy C. Russia D. Greece
55. The functions of dance mentioned in the passage do not include .
A. expressing B. communicating
C. having fun D. making profit
56. Based on the passage, which description of waltz is NOT true?
A. It represents freedom of expression.
B. It's a social dance popular with the ordinary people.
C. It influenced political and social changes in Europe.
D. It used to be a privilege of the noble and royal families.
D
There are a number of popular myths about learning to speak English as a foreign language. Many learners take them for granted in spite of clear evidence that suggests they may not be true.
One of the widely held beliefs is that native speakers make the best conversation partners. This is not true. Illogical as it may seem, researchers are telling us that native speakers are not necessarily the best partners for language learners to talk with. The best partners in many ways may be other learners like themselves. The main reason is interaction with native speakers is far from ideal, especially for lower level learners. There is little negotiation (商谈) of what is said, as native speakers tend to control speaking time, while learners often accept confusion silently in an effort to be polite and not show their ignorance. On the other hand, when talking to other non-native speakers, they dare to question and negotiate meaning. There is also equal opportunity for participants to exchange more information and language freely.
Another concentration is the desire to speak like a native. Many English learners believe they should learn "standard English" in order to acquire accent-free speech. Not only is this a wrong assumption, it is also an unrealistic goal for most learners to aim for it. The fact is native speakers don't speak the same variety of English, and there is no such thing as a standard version of English. And even if there is, it is almost impossible for learners, once they pass a certain age, to get rid of the accent of their mother tongue. All things considered, there is really no good reason to "sound like a native".
Most students also think that if they go to an English-speaking country, they will pick up the language without much effort. What they don't know is that plenty of learners acquire a foreign language without leaving their home country. And similarly, the opposite is often true: Some learners never progress beyond a certain level of proficiency despite years of exposure. Natural immersion alone does not guarantee success. Simply put, the keys to success in learning a language are still the good old-fashioned time and
