Passage1

In every society it is necessary to have a general system of laws to ensure justice.

Laws are designed to make certain that people's rights are protected and that people respect each other's rights. Sometimes, however, laws are passed which are specific to a time or situation. For example, a town in Indiana once passed a law making it illegal to shoot open a can of food. Apparently, some gun-carrying citizens forgot their can openers and naturally enough, used their guns to do the job. This disturbed other citizens, and endangered their lives, so a law was passed to prevent it. Specific laws sometimes remain in existence long after the problem has disappeared. The laws then seem strange. For example, the Indiana law was no longer necessary when citizens stopped carrying guns and using them as can openers. Since the law was no longer needed, what once made sense now seems like nonsense.

Sometimes laws designed to serve a good purpose were passed but somehow

these became mixed up in their wording. As a result, the laws don't make sense. In one state there is a law which says that it is "illegal to move or to attempt to move a motor vehicle." Obviously, a massive traffic jam would occur if everyone suddenly obeyed that law. But no one does, of course, because the intention of the law was not

to prevent owners from moving their own cars. It was to prevent people from moving (stealing) other people's cars.

It is often harder to repeal a law than to pass one, so many of these old laws

remain in existence. Because they no longer fit the way people live or because the problem no longer exists, these laws are ignored. Everyone understands that and life goes on. Thus, laws that once made very good sense, now seem like nonsense. A. protecting people's rights B. making people respect each other

C. preventing gun-carrying D. punishing criminals A. working B. shooting

C. opening a can D. disturbing others A. how some laws are passed and changed

B. how people in Indiana open cans

C. why some laws may seem strange

D why people in Indiana no longer use their guns

4. What's the problem with the law concerning motor vehicles? A. It leads to traffic jams.

B. It is not clearly written.

C. It is not designed to serve a good purpose.

D. It has been out of date. A. a law system is necessary for every society

B. some laws that don't make sense may also get passed

C. it is more difficult to change the old law than pass a new one

D. some laws may seem strange as time passes

Passage2

It is over 40 years since first atomic bomb was dropped on a major city in Japan. Yet even now its effect are showing themselves and may continue to do so for years to

环境科学、环境工程等专业英语试卷及答案1份

come. Much effort and human energy have been used to try to prevent such terrifying thing from happening again. So far there is no guarantee that it will not. Countries which already possess nuclear knowledge and resources have bombs stored away which are powerful enough to wipe out all life on earth.But this is not all. Other countries, which previously were not so advanced in technology, are gradually buying materials that can be used for making atomic devices. This nuclear energy will naturally be of great value in helping the economy of poor nations, but it also means that there are far more opportunities for the manufacture of bombs.

The generation of electricity through nuclear power came directly from the

original work on the atom bomb. Because of the increase in demand for energy and the possibility of decreasing supplies of oil and natural gas, the interest in electiricity has increased, One of the by-products of nuclear power stations is plutonium produced from nuclear fuel:plutonium is ingredient in bomb-making.

This brings the problem to a full circle again. How can something so valuable

and useful be controlled so that it works for the benefit and not the destruction of man?

6. In the writer’s view, effects of dropping the first atomic bomb A are not over B may gone on forever

C could last much longer D will not be over in the near future
