34、ehension (30 points)Section ADirections: There are four passages in this part. Each passage 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 mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet A.
35、Passage 1The world has spent on preparations for war more than $112 billion a year, roughly $450 per head for, every man, woman, and child in the world. Let us consider for a moment what could be done with this sum of money if it were spent on peace and not on war. Some of it, at any rate, in the mo
36、re prosperous countries, could be spent on the reduction of taxation. The rest should be spent in ways that will, at the same time, be of benefit to mankind and a solution to the economic problem of conversion from war industry to the expansion of peace industries. As to this expansion, let us begin
37、 with the most elementary of all needs, namely, food. At present, the majority of mankind suffers from undernourishment, and, in view of the population explosion, this situation is likely to grow worse in coming decades. A very small part of what is now being spent upon armaments would rectify our p
38、redicament. Not only could the American surplus of grain, which was for many years uselessly destroyed, be spent in relief of famine, but, by irrigation, large regions now desert could be made fertile, and, by improvement in transport, distribution from regions of excess to regions of scarcity could
39、 be facilitated.Housing, even in the richest countries, is often disastrously inadequate. This could be remedied by a tiny fraction of what is being spent on missiles. Education everywhere, but especially in the newly liberated countries of Africa and Asia, demands an expenditure many times as great
40、 as that which it receives at present. But it is not only greater expenditure that is needed in education. If the terror of war were removed, science could be devoted to improving human welfare, instead of to the invention of increasingly expensive methods of mutual slaughter, and schools would no l
41、onger think it a part of their duty to promote hatred of possible enemies by means of ignorance tempered by lies.By the help of modern techniques, the world could enter upon a period of happiness and prosperity far surpassing anything known in previous history. All this is possible. It requires only
42、 a different outlook on international affairs and a different state of mind toward those nations which are now regarded as enemies. This is possible, I repeat, but it cannot be done all at once. To reverse the trend of affairs in the most process of reeducation.51. By the diverting some of all of th
43、e money spent on preparations for war to peaceful purposes, all of the following benefits would occur except _.A. taxes would be reducedB. science could concentrate on improving human welfareC. better housing could be providedD. the population explosion could be controlled52. Schools at the present
44、time often have to make good use of _.A. inadequate fundsB. greater expenditureC. increasingly expensive methodsD. lies in order to promote hatred of possible enemies53. The problem of undernourishment will become more critical because _.A. America destroys its surplus goodsB. of inadequate transpor
45、tC. of the population explosionD. of lack of irrigation54. According to this passage, the greatest obstacle to altering the trend of affairs is _.A. technologyB. enemiesC. ideological educationD. knowledge55. The adjective that best portrays this author is _.A. quixoticB. lugubriousC. pragmaticD. ut
46、opianPassage 2Before about 3500 BC, there cultures, but not civilizations. Prehistoric men and women created societies, constructed houses, lived in villages, hunted and fished, farmed, made, pottery, wove cloth, and created languages.

Cities are the cornerstone of civilized life because with them came other civilizing elements, including differentiation of classes and employment, sophisticated religious and political systems, monumental
