They were spoken by Hamlet when he was thinking aloud, and they are the most famous words in Shakespeare because Hamlet was speaking not only for himself but for every thinking man and woman. To be or not to be---to live or not to live, to live richly and abundantly and eagerly, or to live dully and meanly and scarcely. A philosopher once wanted to know whether he was alive or not, which is a good question for everyone to put to himself occasionally. He answered it by saying, “I think, therefore I am.”But the best definition of existence I ever saw was one written by another philosopher who said, “To be is to be in relations.” If this is true, then the more relations a living thing has, the more it is alive. To live abundantly means simply to increase the range and intensity of our relations. Unfortunately, we are so constituted that we get to love our routine. But other than our regular occupation, how much are we alive? If you are interested only in your regular occupation, you are alive only to that extent. So far as other things are concerned---poetry and prose, music, pictures, sports unselfish friendships, politics, international affairs---you are dead.On the contrary, it is true that every time you acquire a new interest---even more, a new accomplishment---you increase your power of life. No one who is deeply interested in different kinds of subjects can remain unhappy. The real pessimist is the person who has lost interest.Bacon said that a man dies as often as he loses a friend. But we gain new life by contacts with new friends, and new ideas and thoughts, too. Where your thoughts are, there will be your life also. If your thoughts are limited only to your business, only to your physical welfare, only to your narrow circle of the town in which you live, then you live in a narrow restricted life. But if you are interested in the characters of a good novel, then you are living with those highly interested people; if you listen intently to fine music, you are always away from immediate surroundings and living in a world of passion and imagination.To be or not to be ---to live intensely and richly, or merely to exist, that depends on ourselves. Let us widen and intensify our relations. While we live, let us live.36. What does the author mainly want to do by this passage?A. Argue against an idea.B. Put forward an idea.C. Introduce some famous sayings.D. Explain some famous sayings.37. What does the underlined word “pessimist” most probably mean?A, Somebody who always expects the worst to happen.B.

Which of the following behaviors is most probably NOT encouraged by the author?A. Thinking more than your own business.B. Caring only about your physical welfare.C. Reading good novels.D. Listening to fine music.39. What is the main idea of the passage?A. To be or not to be, that is a question.B. I think, therefore I am.C. To be is to be in relations.D. A man dies as often as he loses a friend.BWith alarming regularity, we read about oil tankers having accidents near land and the terrible consequences of the oil spills(泄露) on people, nature, and the environment.Millions of dollars have been used in developing special chemicals to help dismiss the spills and to clean up the animals, beaches, and land spoiled by the oil. Unfortunately, when many of these chemicals are used, more damage is caused to the environment, especially to lives in the sea.Of all of today’s environmental disasters, an oil spill may actually be one of the least serious .Although oil is poisonous, it is a natural material. In the end, it breaks down naturally. There are, of course, long-term effects, but it is usually more serious in the short term.Nature by itself woks better than chemical materials, but when there is a spill we demand that governments act immediately with as much hi-tech knowledge as possible. In 1967 the tanker Torrey Canyon sank off the Scilly Isles near the coast of England and spilled 120,000 tones of oil into the ocean, If you go there today, you will find it hard to see any sign that it ever happened.Governments seem to accept the risk of transporting millions of tons of oil by ship every day so that we can fill up our cars and drive around and cause even more environmental damage. Interestingly the biggest companies in the world produce cars, and the next biggest supply the gasoline to make them run.We should be thinking more about reducing our dependency on oil, Governments should be encouraging research into new technologies, such as cars run by solar power, electricity, hydrogen, and so on. Much of this research has, in the past been held back by the oil, gas, and coal.If the world’s millions of cars were 10% more efficient--- and the industry could easily produce cars at least twice as efficient？We would need many fewer tankers crossing the oceans each year. If this happened, the risks of oil spills would be reduced, and the air we breathe would be cleaner and fresher, too.40. What is the passage mainly talking about?A. Oil spills pollutionB. What oil pollution isC. Oil tanker accidentsD. How to reduce oil pollution41. How does the author support the idea that oil spills are not as serious as people believe？A. By giving a descriptionB. By making an argumentC. By giving an exampleD. By drawing a diagram42. What does the underlined word “risk” in paragraph 5 refer to?A. Transportation depending more on oilB. Poisonous oil breaking down naturallyC. Millions of tons of oil spilling into the seaD. More environmental damage being caused43. Which suggestion is made for reducing oil tank accidents according to the passage?A. We should build safer tankers in the near futureB. We should develop new technologies to cut oil useC. Tankers should not be allowed to sail near the coastlinesD. Countries should build more oil pipelines under the seaCWhen we walk through the city, we all experience a kind of information overload but we pay attention only to those that are important to us. We don’t stop, we keep our faces expressionless and eyes straight ahead, and in doing so, we are not just protecting ourselves but are avoiding overloading other people as well.We make use of stereotypes(刻板的模式) as convenient ways to make quick judgments about situations and people around us. They may not always be accurate, and they can often be dangerously wrong, but they are used regularly.The problem with the stereotypes is that they restrict experience. By using limited clues to provide us with a rapid opinion of other people or places we may choose to limit our communication. We may decide not to go to certain places because we believe they will not offersomething we enjoy.In the city, styles of dress are particularly important with regard to self-presentation. Different groups often use clearly identifiable styles of clothes so that they can be easily recognized. It is becoming increasingly common for brand names to be placed on the outside of clothes, and this labeling makes it easy to send out information about fashion and price instantly, and lets other tell at a distance whether an individual has similar tastes and is a suitable person to associate with.In England, where social grouping or class continues to make social distinctions, clothes, hairstyles, people’s pronunciation and the manner of speaking are all clues to our social group. Class distinctions tend to be relatively fixed, although in the city where greater variety is permitted, they are more likely to be secondary determining factors of friendship and association.44. People walking in cities ignore the surroundings because ________.A. they do not wish to talk to other peopleB. everyone else is expressionlessC. the environment is already familiar to themD. there is too much information to take in45. According to the passage, the main disadvantage of using stereotypes is that they ________.A. are likely to lead us into dangerous situationsB. may make us miss some pleasant experienceC. can rarely be relied onD. make us mentally lazy46. From the passage we may conclude that________.A. stereotypes can help to understand people fullyB. people are becoming more interested in fashionC. dressing can send messages about individualsD. stereotypes can do more harm than good to people47. It would appear that in England, a person’s class________.A. might be less important in making friends in a cityB. is mainly determined by his pronunciationC. plays less of a role than it did in the pastD. is something that can be changed easily四、任务型阅读Bisphenol A is a chemical widely used to make hard, polycarbonate （聚碳酸酯）plastic. Food storage containers, reusable water bottles and baby bottles are among the many different products that may contain BPA. BPA is also commonly used in protective coverings inside metal food and drink cans.People can swallow small amounts of BPA as they eat or drink. An industry Web site says more than forty years of safety research shows that products made with bisphenol A are safe. But others question the safety of BPA. Now, a large study has linked it to diabetes and heart disease in adults.Researchers divided almost one thousand five hundred American adults into four groups based on BPA levels in their urine （尿液）. All the levels were within the limits considered safe by the United States Food and Drug Administration. Yet the study found that the highest group was more than twice as likely as the lowest group to have heart disease or diabetes, or both.The Food and Drug Administration and chemical industry officials said the study does not show that bisphenol A caused the diseases. The researcher who led the study, David Melzer at England’s University of Exeter, agrees. He says the findings must be reproduced and that other studies are also needed.But he also says that if BPA is a cause of these conditions, then just reducing contact with it might prevent some cases. The study appeared last week in the Journal of the American Medical Association.Earlier this month, the United States government scientists from the National Toxicology Program released a final report on BPA. They found that the chemical is of “some concern” for effects on development of the brain in fetuses （胎儿）, infants and children. They made the same finding for behavioral （动作的）effects.The scientists based their findings mostly on studies of laboratory animals. Even so, the program director said “the possibility that BPA may affect human development cannot be dismissed. “In April, Canada became the first country to propose a ban on plastic baby bottles that contain BPA. The government has said it will publish its final decision by October eighteenth.Some plastic goods are now being marketed as BPA-free. But some people wonder whether any other chemicals that might take its place are any better.作业六1—15 CCADB CCDBA DCDDC16—35 BBADC BACDA CCDBA CDABD 36—48 BABC ACDB DDBD1. applied / used2. common3. results4. danger / risk5. involved6. want / require / need7. presented / released8. rule9. caused 10. prohibited / banned。
