Smoking
Since 1939, numerous studies have been conducted to determine whether smoking is a health hazard. The trend of the evidence has been consistent and indicates that there is a serious health risk. Research teams have conducted studies that show beyond all reasonable doubt that tobacco smoking is associated with a shortened life expectancy.
Cigarette smoking is believed by most research workers, in this field to be an important factor in the development of cancer of the lungs and cancer of the throat and is believed to be related to cancer of some other organs of the body. Male cigarette smokers have a higher death rate from heart disease than non-smoking males. Female smokers are thought to be less affected because they do not breathe in the smoke so deeply.
Apart from statistics, it might be helpful to look at what smoking tobacco does to the human body. Smoke is a mixture of gases, vaporized chemicals, minute particles of ash and other solids. There is also nicotine, which is powerful poison, and black tar. As smoke is breathed in, all those components form. deposits on the membranes of the lungs. One point of concentration is where the air tube and bronchus divides. Most lung cancer begins at this point.
Filters and low tar tobacco are claimed to make smoking to some extent safer, but they can only slighfiy reduce, not eliminate the hazards.
It is easy to determine whether smoking is hazardous.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned

The Role of Religion in Korean Higher Education
It is widely believed that religious traditions, such as Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, and Christianity, had great effects on the entirety of Korean culture and society. Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism were amalgamated into Korean culture and became, in the main, axes of Korean traditional religious thought, in addition to Korean folk beliefs and shamanism. From an educational point of view, Buddhism and Confucianism had a significant impact on formal and informal elite education in the early Korean states and still remains important. Taoism, on the other hand, has affected internal and external life as opposed to Korean education. Christianity, a newly grafted religion, has also exerted an important influence upon the development of modern higher education. Therefore, the parameters of the study are Buddhism, Confucianism, and Christianity.
Throughout the history of Korean education, religion and education are inseparable. The examination of the role of religion in Korean higher education gives Western educators historically valuable ideas about religious components in Korean higher education. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the role of religion in Korean elite and higher education during the premodern and modern periods. In this study, "premodern era" is defined as the fourth century to the late nineteenth century, and "modern period" from 1880 to 1910.
Numerous studies have shown that religious thought has affected the spiritual and practical worlds in premodern and contemporary Korea. However, several studies examining the influence of religious and philosophical thought on Korean education indicate that three religious traditions — Buddhism, Confucianism, and Christianity — had an enormous impact on premodern and modern education in Korea.
In terms of Korean educational history and philosophy, there are few studies that examine the religious and philosophical ideas that historically affect Korean higher education. Kim briefly analyzes the basic philosophy and organization of Korean higher education, and Lee reviews religious and philosophical factors influencing the development of Korean higher education in terms of educational administrative theory and practice. Studies concerning the role of religion in premodern elite and modern higher education have yet to be conducted. For this reason, this study will focus on the contribution of Buddhism and Confucianism to premodern elite education in Korea, particularly the interaction between Confucianism and Christianity with modern higher education in Korea and on the role of religion in current Korean higher education.
______ has been believed NOT to have much influence on the Korean higher education.
A．Buddhism
B．Confucianism
C．Taoism
D．Christianity

While the virus can spread through droplets propelled into the air when a cold-sufferer coughs or sneezes, surprisingly, this is not the most common route of transmission. Numerous studies have now shown that the overwhelming majority of colds are "caught" by hand contact. A cold-sufferer rubs her nose, thereby transferring the virus to her hand. Then a friend comes to visit.
"Don't kiss me," she cautions, so the friend steps back and presses her hand. The friend then wipes her own nose or eye--and several days later is stricken with a cold. Or parents pick up their child's discarded(丢弃了的)tissues and carefully throw them away, but fail to wash their hands afterward.
Cold viruses also can be transferred to objects--telephones, towels, plates--and remain infections for up to three hours. Frequent hand-washing--on the part of the cold-sufferer as well as other members of the household--will minimize the spread of viruses in this way.
Colds are caused by exposure to severe weather.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned

The major hazard represented by seismic events along the great earthquake belts of the world has now been clearly recognized, and a great deal of research money and effort is being directed toward earthquake prediction and possible control. Active fault systems, such as the San Andreas fault in California, are carefully monitored for observable changes that could indicate an impending earthquake. Although the nature of earthquakes and earthquake belts are rela tively well understood, the possibility of accurately predicting major earthquakes, much less controlling them, still appears remote.
Probably the most intriguing development in this field relates to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes near Denver, Colorado. In 1962 injection of fluid wastes into the Precambrian basement rocks nearly 4000m below the ground surface was followed by a series of small earthquakes. Studies of this phenomenon have indicated that the injected fluid lubricated a fault zone under stress and thereby promoted release of seismic energy. Experimentation at the site is still going on, but the connection between the fluid injection and earthquake activity was quickly rea lized. Accordingly, the suggestion has been made that potentially destructive earthquakes could be converted into numerous nondestructive minor earthquakes by using fluid injection techniques. Thus, although man has no hope whatever of controlling the major earth movements that lead to earthquakes, he may in some cases be able to influence the manner in which earthquake energy is dissipated.
Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？
A．Awareness of Earthquake Hazards
B．Earthquake Is a Dangerous Thing
C．Earthquake Prediction and Control
D．The Probability of Earthquake Activity for Various Areas in the United States

Text 2 Mothers Against Drunk Driving(MADD)has launched a new public awareness campaign aimed at Canadian Justice Minister Irwin Cotler．“Enough is Enough”advocates dropping the Criminal Code’s blood alcohol concentration(BAC)limit from 0．08 to 0．05 percent，to“protect innocent drivers on our roads．”MADD Canada CEO Andrew Murie thinks tllat lowering the BAC limit could result in a 6-to-18 percent reduction in crash deaths．But questions have been raised about the science behind that campaign． MADD selectively cites a report published in 2002 by Robert Mann of the Mental Health Centre．Mama，in turn，had got those numbers from two separate studies whose data was selected from Sweden and Australia．The conclusions in Mann’s report seem to ignore the Swedish authors’numerous warnings and cautions，as well as the limitations in the Australian study．First，the Australian study examined the effectiveness of breath testing，not lowered BAC levels，on fatal traffic crashes．Also．that research was started in 1976 when“liquid lunches”were far more common．What’s more．the Australian data varied：whereas the state of Queensland saw the 18 percent decline in fatal accidents cited by MADD’s Murie，in neighboring New South Wales，fatal accidents decreased just 8 percent． It is also reported by the Ontario Community Council that the majority of drivers in alcoholrelated fatal erashes are repeat offenders with BACs over 0．15 percent-meaning that the problem is drivers who repeatedly get behind the wheel with BAC levels twice the legal limit．not social drinkers who consume a glass of wine or tw0．This makes MADD’s concern seem wasteful，given the downward trend in alcohol-related tramc deaths． The Canada Safety Council，the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators and the Traffic Injury Research Foundation take issue with MADD’s campaign．Even the Ontario Community Council has determined that lowering the BAC would mean more work for police and the courts． But to MADD’s Murie，the math question is simple：“If you lower BAC limits，regardless to what level，you’ll save Canadian lives．”Unfortunately，the math doesn’t quite add up． 回答下列各题： MADD launched a public awareness campaign in order to_______．
A.criticize the Justice Minister
B.improve BAC measurement
C.restrict drivers’access to alcohol
D.revise the law regarding drunk driving

But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don't fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each other's experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school. Others find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out--often encouraged by college administrators.
Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves--they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that's a condemnation of the students as a whole, and doesn't explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We've been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can't absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year olds, either.
Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesn't make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things--maybe it's just the other way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up.
According to the passage, the author believes that ______.
A．people used to question the value of college education
B．people used to have full confidence in higher education
C．all high school graduates went to college
D．very few high school graduates choose to go to college
