Abortion The word alone causes civil
conversation to flee the room. This is largely because the pro-choice and
pro-life positions are being defined by their extremes, by those who scream
accusations instead of arguments.
More reasonable voices and
concerns, on both sides of the fence, are given little attention.
For example, pro-life extremists seem unwilling to draw distinctions
between some abortions and others, such as those resulting from rape with an
underage child. They would make no exception in the recent real-life case of a
woman who discovered in her fifth month that her baby would be born dead due to
severe disabilities.
On the other hand, pro-choice extremists
within feminism insist on holding inconsistent positions. The pregnant woman has
an unquestionable right to abort, they claim. Yet if the biological f
A. complementary to each other
B. opposed to each other
C. similar in nature
D. reconcilable in a way

Many tourists must have dreamed of
owning a small house in a foreign country -- perhaps on a stretch of lonely
coast -- to which they could return year after year to enjoy the sun and the
sea. Others, with even bigger ideas and a lot more money to spend, think of
buying hotels. In any case, it is absolutely essential to know a great deal
about the value of property, otherwise the buyer may be at the mercy of(由……摆布)
dishonest agents.
Some tourists, however, are so foolish that
they really deserve to be cheated by agents. We would consider a person mad if
he walked into a museum and asked to "buy" a great work of art. Though no one
has told us, we all know that certain things can never be sold, no matter how
much money is offered. Yet, nearly every year since 1944, a buyer has been found
for the Colosseum (古罗马圆形剧场) in Rome. The f
A. dishonest agents are merciful to the buyer
B. dishonest agents are merciless to the buyer
C. the buyer may be completely controlled by the dishonest agents
D. the buyer may have pity on the dishonest agents
[单项选择] Passage Four
Many people want to know how to analyze
problems they meet. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.
First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example,
Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam
must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.
Next the
thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find
the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem
is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more
specific.
Now the person must look for information that will
make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose
Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with
the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle rep
A. recognize and define the problem
B. look for information to make the problem clearer
C. have suggestions for a possible solution
D. find a solution by trial or mistake

Passage Four
Many things make people think artists are weird and the weirdest may be this: artists’ only job is to explore emotions, and yet they choose to focus on the ones that feel bad.
This wasn’t always so. The earliest forms of art, like painting and music, are those best suited for ex- pressing ioy. But somewhere in the 19th century, more artists began seeing happiness as insipid, phony or, worst of all, boring as we went from Wordsworth’s daffodils to Baudelaire’ s flowers of evil
You could argue that art became more skeptical of happiness because modern times have seen such misery. But it’s not as if earlier times didn’t know perpetual war, disaster and the massacre of innocents. The reason, in fact, may be just the opposite: there is too much damn happiness in the world today.
After all, what is the one modern form of expression almost completely dedicated to depicting happiness Advertising. The
A. Religion once functioned as a reminder of misery.
B. Art provides a balance between expectation and reality.
C. People feel disappointed at the realities of morality.
D. Mass media are inclined to cover disasters and deaths.
