disposal of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages on the ground
floor, playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings, and drying grounds
for washing. It islikely that the dispute regarding flats versus (对, 对抗)
individual houses will continue to rage on for a long time as far as britain is
concerned. And it is unfortunate that there should be hot feelings on both sides
whenever this subject is raised. Those who oppose the building of flats base
their case primarily on the assumption (设想)that everyone prefers an
individual home and garden and on the high cost per unit of accommodation. The
latter ignores the higher cost of providing full services to a scattered
community and the cost in both money and time of the journeys to work for the
suburban resident.<br>

A) English people, like most people in other countries, dislike living in flats<br>
B) people in most countries of the world today are not opposed to living in
flats<br>

B) They were usually not large enough to accommodate big families.<br>
C) They were sold to people before necessary facilities were installed.<br>
D) They provided playground for children on the top of the buildings.<br>
33. The word "rage" (Line 10) means "______".<br>

Passage Four<br>
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:<br>
Where do pesticides (杀虫剂) fit into the picture of environmental disease?
We have seen that they now pollute soil, water, and food, that they have the
power to make our streams fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and
birdless. Man, however much he may like to pretend the contrary, is part of
nature. Can he escape a pollution that is now so thoroughly distributed
throughout our world?<br>
We know that even single exposures to these chemicals, if the amount is large
enough, can cause extremely severe poisoning. But this is not the major problem.
The sudden illness or death of farmers, farm workers, and others exposed to
sufficient quantities of pesticides are very sad and should not occur. For the
population as a whole, we must be more concerned with the delayed effects of
absorbing small amounts of the pesticides that invisibly pollute our world.<br>
Responsible public health officials have pointed out that the biological effects
of chemicals are cumulative (积累的) over long periods of time, and that the
danger to the individual may depend on the sum of the exposures received
throughout his lifetime. For these very reasons the danger is easily ignored. It
is human nature to shake off what may seem to us a threat of future disaster.
"Men are naturally most impressed by diseases which have obvious
signs," says a wise physician, Dr. Rene Dubos, "yet some of their
worst enemies slowly approach them unnoticed."<br>

...is part of nature." (Lines 3-4, Para.1)?<br>
A) Man appears indifferent to what happens in nature.<br>
B) Man acts as if he does not belong to nature.<br>
C) Man can avoid the effects of environmental pollution.<br>
D) Man can escape his responsibilities for environmental protection.<br>
37. What is the author's attitude to wards the evnironmental effects of
pesticides?<br>
A) Pessimistic. B) Indifferent C) Defensive D) Concerned<br>
38. In the author's view, the sudden death caused by exposure to large amounts
of pesticides ______.<br>
A) is not the worst of thenegative consequences resulting from the use of
pesticides<br>
B) now occurs most frequently among all accidental deaths<br>
C) has sharply increased so as to become the center of public attention<br>
D) is unavoidable because people can't do without pesticides in farming<br>
39. People tend to ignore the delayed effects of exposure to chemicals because
______.<br>
A) limited exposure to them does little harm to people's health<br>
B) the present is more important for them than the future<br>
C) the danger does not become apparent immediately<br>
