Mentally and Intellectually Harmful
Last month, the Indian Medical Association declared a public health emergency in New Delhi
because of high levels of air pollution. Schools were shut and emergency traffic restrictions put in
place.
New Delhi is far from alone. Our research into the___31___ of air pollution in China shows
that, in addition to the more obvious physical price, air pollution can also have serious negative
effects on mental health and cognition (
认知
),___ 32___
reducing a person’
s happiness and their
scores in verbal and mathematical tests.
Such
harmful
mental
effects
have
serious
negative
consequences
for
livelihoods
and
human
capital
development,
suggesting
that
development___33____
should
go
beyond
the
traditional
focus of boosting GDP in the developing world.
India's
recent
pollution
emergency
is
the
most___34___
incidence(
发生率
)of
dangerous
air
pollution,
but
smoggy
skies
have
been
a
cause
of
growing___35____
in
most
developing
countries.
Major
cities
across
the
developing
world---from
Thailand
to
Brazil,
to Nigeria--- ___36____

100.000___37___
in
low
and
middle-
income
countries
fail
to
meet
the
WHO’s
air
quality
guidelines.
India’s extreme levels of air pollution are well recognized, and examining the effects provides
clear warnings for other countries seeking fast growth through rapid industrialization.
We
used
nationally
___38___
longitudinal
(
纵向
)surveys
on
mental
health
and
cognition,
matched with daily air quality data for the time and place of interviews, to see what pollution does

III. Reading Comprehension
Section A15%
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B,
C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Globalization: Good or Bad?
Globalization is defined in many ways .One simple __41__is that it is the rapid increase in inte
rnational
free
trade,
investment,
and
technological
exchange.
It
is
argued
that
this
international
trade
has
been
one
of
the
main
causes
of
world
economic
__42___over
the
past
half
century.
Although
there
is
little
doubt
that
the
global economy
has
developed
enormously
in
the
last
50
years, some people believe that this trend has only benefited certain countries, and that others have
suffered as a result.
Improved income?
An
argument__43___globalization
is
that
the
benefits
of
increased
international
trade
are
shared among everyone in the country. An example of this is China, where per capita income(
人均
收入
)rose from about $$1400 in 1980 to over $$4000 by 2000.___44____per capita income rose by
over 100% in India between 1980 and 1996. It would appear that countries which open their doors
to world trade tend to become___45____ .
However, these sorts of___46__might not be giving a true
picture. They are
“
average
”
, and
despite the fact that there has been a substantial increase I n income for a small minority of people,
the vast majority have only seen a___47___improvement.
More imports, more exports
Supporters
of
free
trade
point
out
that
there
is
another
direct
benefit
to
be
gained
from
an
increase
in
international
trade:
exports___48___imports.
Take
coffee
as
an
example.
Countries
which produce and export coffee import the packaging for it: a(n) ___49__ trade which enables
commerce to develop in two countries at the same time.
___50___ maintain that, in general, it is poorer countries that produce and export food such
as
coffee,
and
richer
countries
that
produce
and
export
manufactured
goods
such
as
packaging
materials.
Furthermore, it
is the richer countries that control the price of good and, ____51___,
farmers may be forced to sell their produce at a low price and to buy manufactured goods at a high
price.
___52___development
Finally,
globalization
often___53___
a
country
to
concentrate
on
industries
which
are
already
successful.
These
countries
develop
expertise(
专门技能
)and
increase
their
share
in
the
international
market.
On
the
other
hand,
those
countries
which___54___
to
support
all
their
industries usually do not develop expertise in any one. Consequently, these countries do not find a
world market for their goods and do not increase their gross domestic product(GDP).
Anti-globalists
claim
that
there
is
a
serious
problem
in
this
argument
for
the
___55___
of
industry.
Countries
which
only
concentrate
on
one
or
two
main
industries
are
forced
to
import
other goods. These imported good are frequently overpriced, and these countries, therefore, have a
tendency to accumulate huge debts.

Section B22%
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the
one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
The Harlem Renaissance
The word “
renaissance
”
means
“
rebirth
”
. The Harlem Renaissance took place during the 1920s.
It was a time when the African American artistic community grew and flourished, producing a ton
of work in a short period of time. The work celebrated African American culture and spoke to their
experiences as minorities---both the good parts and the bad parts.
After the Civil War, many African Americans left the South to escape unfair treatment and laws
that discriminated against them. Between 1910 and 1920, massive numbers of black Southerners
moved from the rural south into the urban North and West in the Great Migration. The African
American population of Chicago more than doubled during that time! And in New York, African
Americans
flocked
to
uptown
Manhattan,
setting
in
a
neighborhood
called
Harem.
Forming
a
community
within
the
big
city
let
African
Americans
keep
their
cultural
identity
in
a
white-dominated society. It was a good thing, and a lot of important cultural issues were brought
to
light
during
the Harlem
Renaissance. One of
the
most
important
figures
of
the
time
was
the
African American writer, W. E.B Du Bois. In his book, The Souls of Back Folk, in 1903, Du Bois
wrote that African Americans suffered from something
called “double consciousness”
. They had
their
own
self-image
while
they
saw
themselves
through
the
eyes
of
white
Americans.
And
performers like Josephine Baker and Paul Robeson brought African American culture to all New
Yorkers.
The Renaissance was so influential that “Harlem” grew into something of a brand name
African
Americans
were
pushing
boundaries
across
all
aspects
of
society.
Black
businesses
began
to
flourish,
creating
a
growing
middle
class,
like
Madame
C.J.
Walker,
who
tuned
her
cosmetics
line
into
a
million
dollar
empire.
All
together,
the
artists,
and
thinkers
of
this
period
helped
mobilize
the
larger
black
population.
Young
African-Americans
took
advantage
of
improved access to higher education. This opened up new career paths and opportunities to attain
advanced degrees. Perhaps most importantly, people---black and white---began the push for racial
integration, planting the seeds of what would eventually become the civil rights movement of the
1960s.
56. Why did many African Americans leave the South after the Civil War?
