[简答题]Text D The ecosystems of the Earth provide an array of free public services that are essential the support of civilizations. They maintain the quality of the atmosphere, provide food from the sea, manufacture and replenish soils, recycle wastes and nutrients, control the overwhelming majority of crop pests and disease vectors, and so on. People have no idea how to take over these activities satisfactorily. They do know, however, that the theory once advanced in the nineteenth century--- that the productivity of the land can be indefinitely increased by the application of capital, labor, and science --- is wrong. History has shown that once the natural life-support systems of a civilization have been sufficiently damaged, they cannot usually be repaired. The ancient deforestation and overgrazing of the Mediterranean region is a famous example. And today, a global civilization is ruining the global environment. What is the main topic of this passage
A. A．Free public service
B．Support needed for civilization
C．The value of ecosystems

TEXT D

From Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa capital at 12,000 feet，the long line threaded south，dropping 2,000 feet to the valley floor，then trudged down the huge Sola-Khumbu canyon until, it opened out to the lush but still daunting foothills of Central Nepal.
It was here at Namche that one man broke rank and leaned north，slowly and arduously climbing the steep walls of the natural amphitheater behind the scatter of stone huts，then past Kunde and Khumjong.
Despite wearing a balaclava on his head, he had been frequently recognized by the Tibetans，and treated with the gravest deference and respect. Even among those who knew nothing about him，expressions of surprise lit up their dark，liquid eyes. He was a man not expected to be there.
Not only was his stature substantially greater than that of the dimi

[单项选择]TEXT D Speaking two languages rather than just one has obvious parctical benefits in an increasingly globalized world.But in recent years, scientists have begun to show that the advantages of bilingualism are even more fundamental than being able to converse with a wider range of people. Being bilingual, it turned out, makes you smarter. It can have a profound effect on your brain, improving cognitive skills not related to language and even shielding against dementia(痴呆) in old age. This view of bilingualism is remarkably different from the understanding of bilingualism through much of the 20th century. Researchers, educators and policy makers long considered a second language to be an interference, cognitively speaking, that hindered a child s academic and intellectual development. They were not wrong about the interference: there is ample evidence that in a bilingual s brain both language systems are active even when he is using only one language, thus creat
A. its practical advantages
B. perceived language fluency
C. its role in cognition
D. its role in medicine

TEXT D

The law firm Patrick worked for before he died filed for bankruptcy protection a year after his funeral. After his death, the firm’s letterhead properly included him: Patrick S. Lanigan, 1954-1992. He was listed up in the right-hand corner, just above the paralegals. Then the rumors got started and wouldn’t stop. Before long, everyone believed he had taken the money and disappeared. After three months, no one on the Gulf Coast believed that he was dead. His name came off the letterhead as the debts piled up.
The remaining partners in the law firm were still together, attached unwillingly at the hip by the bondage of mortgages and the bank notes, back when they were rolling and on the verge of serious wealth. They had been joint defendants in several unwinnable lawsuits; thus the bankruptcy. Since Patrick’s departure, th

[单项选择]TEXT D Cultural rules determine every aspect of food consumption. Who eats together defines social units. For example, in some societies, the nuclear family is the unit that regularly eats together. The anthropologist Mary Douglas has pointed out that, for the English, the kind of meal and the kind of food that is served relate to the kinds of social links between people who are eating together. She distinguishes between regular meals, Sunday meals when relatives may come, and cocktail parties for acquaintances. The food served symbolizes the occasion and reflects who is present. For example, only snacks are served at a cocktail party. It would be inappropriate to serve a steak or hamburgers. The distinctions among cocktails, regular meals, and special dinners mark the social boundaries between those guests who are invited for drinks, those who are invited to dinner, and those who come to a family meal. In this example, the type of food symbolizes the category of guest and with w
A. the type of food.
B. social relations.
C. marital status
D. family ties.
