17、 planningD) buying on creditQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.2Britain almost more than any other country in the world must seriously face the problem ofbuilding upwards, that is to say, of accommodating a considerable proportion of its population inhigh blocks of flats. It is sa

18、id that the English man objects to this type of existence, but if the caseis such, he does in fact differ from the inhabitants of most countries of the world today. In the pastour own blocks of flats have been associated with the lower-income groups and they have lackedthe obvious provisions, such a

19、s central heating, constant hot water supply, electrically operatedlifts from top to bottom, and so on, as well as such details, important notwithstanding (然而), aseasy facilities for disposal of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages in the groundfloor, playgrounds for children on th

20、e top of the buildings, and drying grounds for washing. It islikely that the dispute regarding flats versus (對(duì)，對(duì)抗) individual houses will continue to rage onfor a long time as far as Britain is concerned. And it is unfortunate that there should be hotfeelings on both sides whenever this subject is r

21、aised. Those who oppose the building of flats basetheir case primarily on the assumption (設(shè)想) that everyone prefers an individual home and on thehigh cost per unit of accommodation. The latter ignores the higher cost of providing full servicesto a scattered community and the cost in both money and t

22、ime of the journeys to work for thesuburban resident.26.

27、Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passageMost people would agree that, although our age exceeds all previous ages in knowledge,3there has been no corresponding increase in wisdom. But Agreement ceases as soon as we attemptto define wisdom and consider means of promoting it.There are seve

28、ral factors that contribute to wisdom. Of these I should put first a sense ofproportion: the capacity to take account of all the important factors in a problem and to attach toeach its due weight. This has become more difficult than it used to be owing to the extent andcomplexity of the special know

29、ledge required of various kinds of technicians. Suppose, forexample, that you are engaged in research in scientific medicine. The work is difficult and is likelyto absorb the whole of your mind. You have no time to consider the effect which your discoveriesor inventions may have outside the field of

30、 medicine. You succeed (let us say) as modernmedicine has succeeded, in enormously lowering the infant death-rate, not only in Europe andAmerica, but also in Asia and Africa. This has the entirely unintended result of making the foodsupply inadequate and lowing the standard of life in the parts of t

31、he world that have the greatestpopulations. To take an even more dramatic example, which is in everybodys mind at the presenttime; you study the makeup of the atom from a disinterested (無 利 害 關(guān) 系 的 ) desire forknowledge, and by chance place in the hands of a powerful mad man the means of destroying

32、thehuman race.Therefore, with every increase of knowledge and skill, wisdom becomes more necessary, forevery such increase augments (增 強(qiáng) )our capacity for realizing our purposes, and thereforeaugments our capacity for evil, if our purpose are unwise.31. Disagreement arises when people try to decide

33、_.A) how much more wisdom we have now than beforeB) what wisdom is and how to develop itC) if there is a great increase of wisdom in our ageD) whether wisdom can be developed or not32.

34、orkB) give each important problem some careful considerationC) acquire a great deal of complex and special knowledgeD) give suitable consideration to all the possible elements in a problem33.

35、se in population in EuropeC) cause food shortages in Asia and AfricaD) raise the living standard of the people in Africa34.
