On Sept. 11, an unseen enemy launched an attack on economic, military and governmental

Landmarks(标志) of the United States.

Beyond the tremendous(巨大的) loss of innocent lives and physical property, the attack was clearly aimed at the ideals of America—our values and the economic system that has made the U.S. economy the envy of the world.

Those responsible for these acts portray(描绘)the United States as the embodiment(化身)of all that is evil

With globalization and the worldwide economy it has spawned. They use the failures of globalization as an excuse to exploit their millions of constituents in the underdeveloped world.

Sometime soon, the U.S. military will strike back against those who it is determined have committed these acts. A military response is appropriate – some would say overdue(期待已久). But even if the military objective is achieved, that alone will not get to the heart of the matter.

It is crucial that the U.S. economy return to full speed ahead and continue to be the driving force behind expansion of the global economy.

Globalization, or at least the present phase of it, generally is viewed as having started with the end of the Cold War in 1989. And for all its shortcomings, the free flow of goods, services, capital and labor across the borders of the world’s trading nations — the process that has come to be called globalization—still offers the best chance to fulfill the dreams of so many of the world’s poor.

1.The attack on Sept. 11 caused _____.

A. loss to both the military forces and the ordinary citizens in the U.S.

B. a large variety of losses among the American people

C. greater loss to the American government than the citizens

D. less loss in the economy of the U.S. than the American ideals

2.The unseen enemy launched the attack because ________.

A. some people were jealous of the richness of the United States

B. the development of globalization frightened those who were conservative

C. everything evil might be thought to have something to do with the U.S.

D. the United States was considered the most evil country all over the world

3.According to the writer, a military response ________.

A. will be successful very soon

B. cannot make any sense to the matter

C. is really hard to some extent

D. will prove justifiable and necessary

4.What benefit will the globalization be of?

A. It will bring the expansion of the world’s economy.

B. The poor will become rich overnight if it is realized.

C. Nations will be too friendly to start a war against each other.

D. The borders between the nations will be abandoned soon.

5.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Economical factors are of great importance in international affairs.

B. The event on Sept. 11 has slowed down the process of globalization.

C. Military forces are necessary in the course of the development of economy.

D. The progress of globalization depends on the recovery of American economy.

A victim of climate change

A polar bear's dead body found on the Arctic island of Svalbard, the northernmost part of Norway, has shocked experts who say climate change may be to blame for the death. The starved polar bear in Norway was said to be in good bones by the time a group of explorers came across its body in July．

The bear is thought to have been heading north in a desperate search for sea ice that would allow it to hunt for seals．"From his lying position in death, the bear appears to simply have starved to health in April when the Norwegian Polar Institute examined and labeled it． However, the animal was reduced to skin and bones and died where he dropped," polar bear expert Dr. Ian Stirling, a professor at the University of Alberta said, "He had external suggestion of any remaining fat, having been reduced to little more than skin and bone．"

Stirling believes the bear starved to death as a result of a lack of sea ice which the animals use as a platform for hunting seals． That may also explain why the 16-year-old male bear was found about 155 miles north of where it was seen in April．

Arctic sea ice reached a record low in 2012, according to a report released this week by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that pointed to continued signs of climate change．

The International Union for Conservation of Nature currently classifies polar bears as vulnerable on its Red List of Threatened Species．

1.How did Stirling know the reason for the death of the polar bear?

A．By the food he ate．                         B．By doing further experiments．

C．By observing other polar bears．              D．By his lying position in death．

2.The underlined word "vulnerable" probably means _____．

A．easily hurt                        B．difficult to hunt

C．dangerous                        D．amazing

3.What is the author's attitude to the incident?

A．Favorable．           B．Uncaring．

C．Doubtful．             D．Concerned．

4.Where does this text probably come from?

A．A novel．                       B． A guidebook．

C．A news report．                  D．An advertisement．

高三英语六选四中等难度题查看答案及解析

The black and white bird came ashore on a beach in the south of the North Island nearly 4,000 miles away from its usual habitat. The creature’s astonishing journey was witnessed by a woman walking her dog as the two-foot bird waddled out of the water in front of her. She said, “It was out of this world to see it. It was this glistening white thing standing up on the sand and I thought I was seeing things.” The tale of the lost penguin is similar to the 2006 children’s film Happy Feet, in which a young penguin finds himself far from home during a voyage of discovery.

Conservationists believe it has completed an incredible journey for such a young bird — it is estimated to be around 10 months old. The most likely explanation for its appearance in New Zealand is the hunt for food. Experts said it may also have rested on an ice floe (浮冰) during its travels and was carried north for a great distance before it made a swim for dry land. Colin Miskelly, a curator of New Zealand Museum, said, “They can spend months at a time in the ocean and come ashore only to moult (脱毛,换毛)or rest.” Mr. Miskelly said the brave bird would have to find its way back south soon if it was going to survive. He said, “It is probably hot and thirsty and has been eating wet sand.” “It doesn’t realize that the sand isn’t going to melt inside it because they typically eat snow — their only liquid.”

New Zealand residents have been warned to give the bird a wide berth — it can inflict (予以) painful bites if threatened.

1.Which of the following is True of Paragraph 1?

A．A young penguin found himself far from home during a voyage of moulting.

B．A creature’s astonishing journey was incredible in the north of the North Island.

C．A woman witnessed a 2 feet bird waddled in the children’s film while walking her dog.

D．A penguin came ashore on a beach thousands of miles away from its habitate.

2.Conservationists tend to explain that____________.

A．the young bird has completed a pleasant journey of 4,000 thousand miles

B．the young bird’s appearance in New Zealand is due to its hunt for food and delay of returning

C．the young bird comes ashore in New Zealand only to moult or rest during its voyage

D．the young bird is certain to be over 10 months old when it appears on a beach

3.What do we know about the penguin according to Mr. Miskelly?

A．The penguin could spend months at a time in the ocean and came ashore only to have young ones.

B．The young bird might have slept on an ice floe and could not swim for dry land.

C．The young penguin didn’t realize the sand wasn’t going to melt inside it like snow it eats.

D．The brave bird would have to find its way back north soon if it was going to survive.

4.What does the underlined part mean in the last sentence?

A．The residents should keep well away from it when they want to watch the young penguin.

B．Some people do not realize the danger of the young bird and they are expected to touch it.

C．New Zealand residents want to keep the young bird but it wants to leave the shore.

D．If the local people threatened the young bird, it would do harm to other birds nearby. .
