or even federal boundaries. We can no longer afford to be tunnel-visioned in our approach. We must visualize issues from every perspective to make the objective decisions. We must express our views clearly to prevent media distortion and public confusion.
I believe we have a three-part mission for the present. First, we must continue to investigate and understand the link between environment and health. Third, we must be able to communicate technical information in a form that citizens can understand. If we can accomplish these goals in this decade, maybe we can finally stop environmental degradation, and not merely hold it back. We will then be able to spend pollution dollars truly on prevention rather than on bandages.

A. they are unaware of the consequences of what they are doing B. they are reluctant to sacrifice their own economic interests C. time has not yet come for them to put due emphasis on it D. it is difficult for them to take effective measures
42. The main task now facing ecologists, environmental activists and conservationists is ______. A. to prevent pollution by legislation, economic incentives and persuasion B. to arouse public awareness of the important of environmental protection C. to take radical measures to control environmental pollution
D. to improve the quality of life by enforcing environmental standards 43. The word ―tunnel-visioned‖ most probably means ______. A. narrow-minded B. blind to the facts
C. short-sighted D. able to see only one aspect
44. Which of the following, according to the author, should play the leading role in the solution of environmental problems?
A. Legislation and government intervention. B. The industry’s understanding and support.

Passage 3
Questions 46—50 are based on the following passage:
All over the world mention of the British education suggests a picture of the ―public schools‖, and it suggests in particular the names of certain very famous institutions—Eton, Oxford and Cambridge; but people do not always realize what place these institutions occupy in the whole educational system. Oxford and Cambridge are universities each having about 12,000 students out of a total of over 250,000 students at all British universities. Eton is a public school, and the best known of the public schools, which, in spite of their names, are not really public at all, but independent and private secondary schools taking boys from the age of thirteen to eighteen years. The public schools in reality form a very small part of the school system of secondary education
of Great Britain; only about one out of forty English boys goes to a public school, and one out of 1,500 to Eton.
Apart from the so-called public schools there is a complete system of state primary and secondary education, which resembles in its general form the state education in most other countries. All children must, by law, receive full-time education between the ages of five and sixteen. Any child may attend, without paying fees, a school provided by the public authorities, and the great majority attend such schools. They may continue, still without paying fees, until they are eighteen. The public schools, although unimportant numerically, have been England’s most peculiar and characteristic contribution to educational methods, and they have an immense influence on the whole of English educational practice and on the English social structure. 46. What was the purpose of the author to write the passage?
A. It was to tell people the difference between Eton on the one hand and Oxford and Cambridge on the other.
B. It was to tell people what the public schools in Great Britain are like. C. It was to tell people something about British educational system. D. All of the above.
47. How much full-time schooling must a British child-receive and when does it begin? A. Eleven years starting from the age of five. B. Seventeen years starting from the age of five. C. Five years starting from the age of thirteen. D. Thirteen years starting from the age of five.
48. Which of the following British child is allowed to go to a public school in Great Britain? A. A thirteen-year-old girl. B. A five-year-old girl C. A thirteen-year-old boy. D. A five-year-old boy.
49. Why does the author say that the so-called public school Eton is not ―public‖? A. Because no girls are admitted in Eton.
B. Because parents have to pay fees for their children at Eton.
C. Because it belongs to the few, numerically unimportant school in Britain. D. Because only one fortieth of British boys go to Eton.
50. The mention of British education outside Great Britain suggests a picture schools in that country probably because ______.
A. the whole of English educational practice has been greatly influenced by them B. some of them are as famous as the universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
C. these public schools are quite different in form from the public schools in any other countries D. there are famous schools like Eton among them
Passage 4
Questions 51—55 are based on the following passage:
Green-space facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment. Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. At present, it is generally accepted, although more as a self-evident statement than on the base of a closely-reasoned scientific proof. The recognition of the importance of green space in the urban environment is the first step on he right way, this does not mean, however, that sufficient details are known about the functions of green-space in
towns and about the way in which the inhabitants are using these spaces. As to this rather complex subject I shall, within the scope of this lecture, enter into one aspect only, namely the recreative function of green space facilities.
The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town and country planning, has in my opinion resulted in disproportionate attention for forms of recreation far from home, whereas there was relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home. We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time that we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for activities at and around home. So it is obvious that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street-door of the house.
The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory activities can also have a recreative aspect.
The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets, because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot for enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street-door of your house is closed after you. 51. According to the author, the importance of green space in the urban environment _______. A. is still unknown B. is being closely studied C. is usually neglected D. has been fully recognized
52. The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation has led to _____. A. the disproportion of recreation facilities in the neighborhood B. the location of recreation facilities far from home C. relatively little attention for recreative possibilities
D. the improvement of recreative possibilities in the neighborhood
53. The author suggests that the recreative possibilities of green-space should be provided ______. A. in special areas B. in the suburbs
C. in the neighborhood of the house D. in gardens and parks
54. According to the author, green-space facilities should be designed in such a way that ______. A. more obligatory activities might take on a recreative aspect B. more and more people might have access to them
C. an increasing number of recreative activities might be developed D. recreative activities might be brought into our homes 55. The main idea of this passage is that ______.
A. better use of green-space facilities should be made so as to improve the quality of our life B. attention must be directed to the improvement of recreative possibilities
C. the urban environment is providing more recreation activities than it did many years ago D. priority must be given to the development of obligatory activities
