Almost obscured by this torpor is the fact mat there has been some remarkable progress over the past five years—real changes in the attitude of ordinary people in me Third World toward family size and a dawning realisation mat environmental degradation and their own well-being are intimately, and inversely, linked. Almost none of this, however, has anything to do with what the bureaucrats accomplished in Rio.
Or it didn't accomplish. One item on the agenda at Rio, for example, was a renewed effort to save tropical forests.(A previous UN-sponsored initiative had fallen apart when it became clear that it actually hastened deforestation.)After Rio, a UN working group came up with more than 100 recommendations that have so far gone nowhere. One proposed forestry pact would do little more than immunizing "wood-exporting nations against trade sanctions.
An effort to draft an agreement on what to do about the climate changes caused by CO2 and other greenhouse gases has fared even worse. Blocked by the Bush Administration from setting mandatory limits , the UN in 1992 called on nations to voluntarily reduce emissions to 1990 levels. Several years later, it's as if Rio had never happened. A new climate treaty is scheduled to be signed this December in Kyoto, Japan, but governments still cannot agree on these limits. Meanwhile, the U. S. produces 7% more CO2 than it did in 1990, and emissions in the developing world have risen even more sharply. No one would confuse the "Rio process" with progress.
While governments have dithered at a pace that could make drifting continents impatient, people have acted. Birth-rates are dropping faster than expected, not because of Rio but because poor people are deciding on their own to reduce family size. Another positive development has been a growing environmental consciousness among the poor. From slum dwellers in Karachi, Pakistan, to colonists in Rondonia, Brazil, urban poor and rural peasants alike seem to realize that they pay the biggest price for pollution and deforestation. There is cause for hope as well in the growing recognition among business people that it is not in their long-term interest to fight environmental reforms. John Browne, chief executive of British Petroleum, boldly asserted in a major speech in May that the threat of climate change could no longer be ignored.
The writer's general attitude towards the world leaders meeting at the UN is .
A．supportive
B．impartial
C．critical
D．comedic

Historian John Keegan writes: “Nuclear weapons have, since August 9, 1945, killed no one. The 50,000,000 who have died in war since that date have for the most part, been killed by cheap, mass-produced weapons and small ammunition, costing little more than the transistor radios which have flooded the world in the same period. Because small weapons have disrupted life very little in the advanced world, outside the restricted localities where drug-dealing and political terrorism flourish, the populations of the rich states have been slow to recognize the horror that this pollution has brought in its train.
Why have small arms become the weapons of choice in recent wars？ Part of the reason lies in the relationship between conflict and poverty. Most of the wars fought during the 1990s took place in countries that are poor----too poor to buy sophisticated weapon systems. Small arms and light weapons are a bargain. For example, 50 million dollars, which is approximately the cost of a single modern jet fighter, can equip an army with 200,000 assault rifles.
Another reason why small weapons are so popular is that they are lethal. A single rapid-fire assault rifle can fire hundreds of rounds a minute. They are also easy to use and maintain. A child of ten can be taught to strip and reassemble a typical assault rifle. A child can also quickly learn to aim and fire that rifle into a crowd of people.
The global traffic in guns is complex. The illegal trade of small arms is big. In some African wars, paramilitary groups have bought billions of dollars’ worth of small arms and light weapons, not with money, but with diamonds seized from diamond-mining areas.
Weapons are also linked to the illegal trade in drugs. It is not unusual for criminal organizations to use the same routes to smuggle drugs in one direction and to smuggle guns in the other.
11. It is implied in the passage that _____.
A、the nuclear arms-control talks can never reach an agreement
B、small arms-control is more important than nuclear arms-control
C、the power of nuclear weapons to kill people has been diminished
D、unclear weapons were the topic of arms-control talks 50 years ago
12. The advanced world neglect the problems of small arms because ____.
A、They have to deal with drug-dealing and political terrorism.
B、They have no such problems as are caused by small weapons.
C、They face other more important problems such as pollution.
D、They have not recognized the seriousness of the problems in time.
13. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the reason for the prevalence of small arms？
A、Small arms are cheap.
B、Small arms are powerful.
C、Small arms are easier to use.
D、Small arms are easier to get.
14. We can conclude from the passage that _____.
A、small arms are not expensive in the black-market
B、it is unfair to exchange small arms for diamond
C、criminals use the same passage to smuggle drugs and small arms
D、where there are drugs, there are small arms
15. The best title for this passage is _____.
A、Small Arms Talks, Not Nuclear Arms Talks.
B、Neglect of Small Arms Control.
C、Global Traffic in Small Arms.
D、Small Arms, Big Problems.
第8题
At school he seems only to have been interested in mathematics. In fact his formal education was surprisingly brief for a gentleman, and incomplete. For unlike other young Virginian gentlemen of that day, he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital of Williamsburg. In terms of formal training then, Washington contrasts sharply with some other early American Presidents such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training. He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress, or on any subject that had not to do with everyday, practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders, he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe.
What reason does the author give for Washington not going to college？
A．His family could not afford it.
B．A college education was rather uncommon in his times.
C．He didn't like the young Virginian gentlemen who went to college.
D．The author doesn't give any reason.

A Debate on the English Language
A measure declaring English the national language is under intense debate in the United States. The US Senate passed two declarations last week. One calls English the nation's official language and the other says it is the “common and unifying(统一的)”tongue. But Americans found themselves divided on the issue.
Since people worldwide know that most Americans speak only English, many can't understand why the issue is so controversial(有争议的).
“The discussion is related to fears of immigration issues,” says Dick Tucker, a social scientist at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University. “It's related to a worry about the changing demography(人口统计)of the US. It's a worry about who will continue to have political and economic influence.”
In fact, the notion of protecting the language has been kicked around almost since the nation's founding. John Adams lobbied(游说)in 1780 for the creation of a national academy to correct and improve the English language. But his proposal died, since lawmakers saw it as a royalist(保皇主义者)attempt to define personal behavior.
Since then, the country hasn't had a national language, but the idea of recognizing the special status of English lived on.
The emotions surrounding language resurface(再次浮现)not because people feel comfortable with English. It is more about the discomfort many Americans feel with the new languages, says Walt Wolfram, a professor at North Carolina State University.
“Language is never about language,” he says.
According to the 2000 US Census Bureau report, of 209 million Americans over 18 years old,172 million speak only English at home. About 37 million speak languages other than English. Among them, 6.5 million speak poor English and 3.1 million don't speak English at all.
What are the two declarations concerned with？
A．The status of the English language.
B．The protection of new languages.
C．The rights to speak one's mother tongue.
D．The improvement of the English language.

Television has opened windows in everybody's life. Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suf-fer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen.
Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and to make their opinions count.
Unfortunately, television's influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All educators agree that the "television generations" are more violent than their parents and grandparents.
Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to read abook that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesn't do funny things like the people on children's programs. And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. That's the time it takes on the screen.
In the past, many young people（）.
A.knew the effects of war
B.went in for politics
C.liked to save the wounded in wars
D.were willing to be soldiers
