Later, as people began to travel by train, hotels were built in the centers of large cities. Usually located near railroad stations , these hotels were many stories tall and has hundreds of rooms.Although trains were a popular means of travel for some time, automobiles slowly began to take their place. Automobile travel caused problems for city hotels, which did not have parking space for so many cars.People who traveled by automobile needed a different kind of hotel. They needed places to stay that were near highways and had room to park. Motorists did not like to drive in heavy city traffic to reach a hotel.The answer to the motorists’ problems came when a new kind of hotel was built. These new buildings were called motels, a word made from the first part of MOTORIST and the last part of HOTELS.Motels were much smaller than hotels. Built on ground level, often in separate units, they were more convenient for people traveling. The separate units also made them quieter than hotels.

The corporation chairman, Warren M. Anderson, flew to India within hours of the accident. Serving as the company’s chief spokesman on the d isaster, he made himself available to hundreds of reporters clamoring(喧闹)for information. Reporters were impressed with his open manner and found him believable when he said the disaster was Union Carbide’s highest priority.To back up his statements, Anderson promised $1 million in immediate relief funds for victims and their families.

Our forefathers had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw materials; most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea that the treasures were “limitless” and“inexhaustible(不竭的)”. Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated and delicate system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in a living body, an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the other parts.Fifty years ago, nature study was not part of the school work; scientific forestry(林业)was a new idea; timber(木材)was still cheap because it could be bought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods were not national problems. Nobody had yet studied long-term climatic cycles in relation to proper l and use; even the word ”conservation” had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today.For the sake of ourselves and those who will come after us, we must now set about correcting the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservation should, therefore, b e made a part of everyone’s daily life.To know about the water table in the ground is just as important to us a basic knowledge. We need to know why all water resources need to be protected for maintaining plant life and why the running current of streams and taught the duty of planting trees as well as of cutting them. We need to know the importance of big, mature trees, because living space for most of man’s fellow creatures on this planet is figured not only in square measure of surface but also in cubic volume above the earth. In brief, it should be our goal to restore as much of original beauty of nature as we can.21 In the writer’s opinion, our ancestors _____.A didn’t know how to take full advantage of raw materialsB didn’t have the slightest id ea of environmental protectionC didn’t know how to control the growth of human populationD didn’t understand the importance of improving the nature22 The writer compares nature to living body in order to show that _____.A nature is ever changing and never remains at the same stateB both nature and man are actually complicated and delicate systemsC the damage to one part of it will affect the condition of other partsD it is necessary to protect nature as well as human beings23 To keep ourselves away from the mistakes of our forefathers, the writer points out that _____.A conservation should become everybody’s daily practiceB more trees should be planted than those we cut downC scientific forestry should be a basic knowledge to peopleD school courses should include protection of environment24 The sentence “We need to know why …the running current of streams and rivers must be made to yield their full benefit to soil”(Para.3)indicates that _____.A too many of our water resources have been wasted todayB it is hard to prevent running currents from escaping in the seaC we haven’t yet realized the full benefit of making use of streams and riversD plant life depends heavily on the way we take control of our water resources25 What is th e writer’s attitude towards the current situation in treating natural resources?A hopefulB negativeC doubtfulD worried三、英译汉26 There may be a time when human being will feel regretful for what they have done.A 总有这样的一天，人类会对他们所做的事情感到困惑B 也许会有那么一天，人类会对他们所做得事感到懊悔C 当人类为他们所做的一切感到抱歉时，可能为时已晚。
