Directions: Read through the text below and then choose from the list in the drop down menu following the text the best clause to fill each of the numbered spaces. Some of the suggested answers do not fit at all. Shall We Choose Death? Example:(0)—J “but as a human being, a member of the species Man, whose continued existence is in doubt”   I am speaking not as a Briton, not as a European, not as a member of a western democracy,(0)   .The world is full of conflicts: Jews and Arabs; Indians and Pakistanis; white men and Negroes in Africa; and, overshadowing all minor conflicts, the titanic struggle between communism and anticommunism.   Almost everybody who is politically conscious has strong feelings about one or more of these issues; but I want you, if you can, to set aside such feelings for the moment and consider yourself only as a member of a biological species which has had a remarkable history and whose disappearance none of us can desire. I shall try to say no single word which should appeal to one group rather than to another. All, equally, are in peril, and, if the peril is understood, there is hope that they may collectively avert it. We have to learn to think in a new way. (1)   .The question we have to ask ourselves is: What steps can be taken to prevent a military contest of which the issue must be disastrous to all sides?   The general public, and even many men in positions of authority, have not realized what would be involved in a war with hydrogen bombs. The general public still thinks in terms of the obliteration(灭迹,消灭)of cities. It is understood that the new bombs are more powerful than the old and that, while one atomic bomb could obliterate Hiroshima, one hydrogen bomb could obliterate the largest cities such as London, New York, and Moscow. No doubt in a hydrogenbomb war great cities would be obliterated. But this is one of the minor disasters that would have to be faced. If everybody in London, New York, and Moscow were exterminated, the world might, in the course of a few centuries, recover from the blow. But we now know, especially since the Bikini test, that hydrogen bombs can gradually spread destruction over a much wider area than had been supposed. (2)  .Such a bomb, if exploded near the ground or under water, sends radioactive particles into the upper air. They sink gradually and reach the surface of the earth in the form of a deadly dust or rain. It was this dust which infected the Japanese fishermen and their catch of fish although they were outside what American experts believed to be the danger zone. No one knows how widely such lethal radioactive particles might be diffused, but the best authorities are unanimous in saying that a war with hydrogen bombs is quite likely to put an end to the human race.(3)  .   Here, then, is the problem which I present to you, stark and dreadful and inescapable:(4)  ? People will not face this alternative because it is so difficult to abolish war.(5)  . But what perhaps impedes understanding of the situation more than anything else is that the term“mankind”feels vague and abstract. People scarcely realize in imagination that the danger is to themselves and their children and their grandchildren, and not only to a dimly apprehended humanity. And so they hope that perhaps war may be allowed to continue provided modern weapons are prohibited. I am afraid this hope is illusory. Whatever agreements not to use hydrogen bombs had been reached in time of peace, they would no longer be considered binding in time of war, and both sides would set to work to manufacture hydrogen bombs as soon as war broke out, for if one side manufactured the bombs and the other did not, the side that manufactured them would inevitably be victorious.   As geological time is reckoned, Man has so far existed only for a very short period one million years at the most. What he has achieved, especially during the last 6 000 years, is something utterly new in the history of the Cosmos, so far at least as we are acquainted with it.(6)  . In the great world of astronomy and in the little world of the atom, Man has unveiled secrets which might have been thought undiscoverable. In art and literature and religion, some men have shown a sublimity of feeling which makes the species worth preserving. Is all this to end in trivial horror because so few are able to think of Man rather than of this or that group of men? Is our race so destitute of wisdom, so incapable of impartial love, so blind even to the simplest dictates of self-preservation, that the last proof of its silly cleverness is to be the extermination of all life on our planet? ——for it will be not only men who will perish, but also the animals, whom no one can accuse of communism or anticommunism.   I cannot believe that this is to be the end. I would have men forget their quarrels for a moment and reflect that,(7)  . There lies before us, if we choose, continual progress in happiness, knowledge, and wisdom. Shall we, instead, choose death, because we cannot forget our quarrels? I appeal, as a human being to human beings: remember your humanity, and forget the rest. If you can do so, the way lies open to a new Paradise; if you cannot, nothing lies before you but universal death.      [A] It is feared that if many hydrogen bombs are used there will be universal death——sudden only for a fortunate minority, but for the majority a slow torture of disease and disintegration…   [B] It is stated on very good authority that a bomb can now be manufactured which will be 25,000 times as powerful as that which destroyed Hiroshima   [C] We have to learn to ask ourselves not what steps can be taken to give military victory to whatever group we prefer, for there no longer are such steps   [D] For countless ages the sun rose and set, the moon waxed and waned, the stars shone in the night, but it was only with the coming of Man that these things were understood   [E] The abolition of war will demand distasteful limitations of national sovereignty   [F] Because of lack of resources, Allied strategy had envisioned the prior defeat of Germany while remaining on the defensive against the Japanese   [G] if they will allow themselves to survive, there is every reason to expect the triumphs of the future to exceed immeasurably the triumphs of the past   [H] Shall we put an end to the human race or shall mankind renounce war   [I] The dropping of two ATOMIC BOMBS on Japanese cities and the Soviet invasion of Manchuria hastened their decision to capitulate, which they did on August 14, 1945   [J] but as a human being, a member of the species Man, whose continued existence is in doubt

Try to translate the following into Chinese . 10.The most durable structures raised in stone by the strength of man, the mightiest monuments of his power, crumble into dust, while the words spoken with fleeting breath, the passing expression of the unstable fancies of his mind, endure not as echoes of the past, not as mere archaeological curiosities or venerable relics, but with a force and life as new and strong, and sometimes far stronger than when they were first spoken, and leaping across the gulf of three thousand years, they light the world for us today.

Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. Raj is a middle-aged man. Although he was bom in a poor family, he was raised well.His father owned a welding (焊接)shop, and used to work for more than 12 hours a day, so that his family could lead a comfortable life. However, Raj’s father could not earn sufficient money to provide a decent life to his family. Being an average student in school, Raj used to score around 70 percent marks. Raj’s dream was to become a doctor. Since his marks weren’t very high, he could not get the desired course. Instead,he joined a bachelor’s degree course, completed the course successfully,and got a job in a company. While his life was going on with no dramatic change, his father continued to work in his welding shop, so that he did not have to depend on Raj. After getting a permanent job, Raj got married and at the same time was also promoted in his job. Later,Raj began to earn a handsome salary,and started to live luxuriously. He bought a new house. Although his company provided him with a car, Raj purchased a new car! After an extravagant (奢侈的)life that lasted almost 6 to 7 years,Raj was neither able to manage all the household expenses, nor pay for the children's education and other basic necessities. It so happened that Raj's father fell sick, and as a result, could not continue his work. He requested Raj to give him some money. Raj, already suffering from financial crisis, refused to help. After a week, while Raj was on an official tour, he met a boy aged about 10 years selling toys. The boy requested Raj to buy something. Raj asked the boy why he was selling toys instead of studying. The boy replied, “My father had an accident. He cannot work now. My mother works as a maid. I’m helping my parents by selling these toys. I go to school in the morning, and sell toys in the evening. I work for three hours a day and study at night!” Raj purchased a few toys from the little boy. He thought about what the boy had said. He realized that he had been wrong in the way he treated his parents. He had learnt a lesson from the boy. At a very small age, this boy was helping his parents, but Raj, in order to meet the demands of his own lavish (奢侈的)lifestyle, had neglected his parents. What kind of life did Raj live when he was small?
