Japan has a population of over 116,000,000. The people are thickly settled on the four main islands. Since only one sixth of the land is arable, Japan relies on imported food. To pay for the imports, Japan exports manufactured goods. Japan builds and sells cars, motorcycles, television sets, radios and cameras. Textiles and chemicals also made. In Yokohama Harbor, ships are constructed for use by other nations. The "head start" western nations had may be the reason for Japan's success today. Western countries are still using machines and technology that they developed many years ago. Japan is using newer, improved methods. For example, robots are relieving factory-workers of long, tiring jobs. Modem technology has brought modern problems. Air and water quality reached dangerous levels in some parts of Japan in the late 1960's. Since then, the Japanese government has applied strong pollution controls. The main idea of the passage is that Japan ________. A．surprises the world. B．Suffers from serious air and water pollution C．Leads in exporting goods D．Leads in technology in the world today

A．unanimous B．abstract C．autonomous D．almighty

2 In those sections of the state which lie above the Arctic Circle, Alaska still is a land of icebergs and polar bears. Ice masses lie buried in the earth, which is permanently frozen to a depth of 90 or more meters. From early May until early August, the midnight sun never sets on this flat, treeless region, but the sun cannot melt the icy soil more than two - thirds of a meter down. 3 Alaska is America's largest state, but only about 325,000 people live there. According to estimates, 800,000 hectares of its land area are fit for plowing but only about 640,000 hectares are being cultivated. 4 Arctic Alaska has been the home of Eskimos for countless centuries. It is believed that the Eskimos moved there from Mongolia or Siberia, probably crossing Bering Strait, named for Vitus Bering, the Danish sea captain who discovered Alaska on his voyage for Russia in 1741. The Eskimos are the state's earliest known inhabitants5. Russian fur traders established settlements but, by the time Alaska was sold to the United States, most of the traders had departed. 5 In 1896 gold was discovered near the Klondike River in Canada just across the Alaskan border. Thousands of Americans rushed to the region on their way to Klondike; some never returned. Alaska was never completely cut off again, although even today transportation is a major problem. There are only two motor routes from the US mainland, and within the state, every town has its own airfield. Planes fly passengers, mail and freight to the most distant villages. 6 The gold that changed life so suddenly for Alaska was soon ended, and although many stories about mining camps have become part of American literature, the gold from Alaskan earth contributed less to economic progress than the fish from Alaskan waters. The fish caught in a single year range in value from $80 million to $90 million. Fur-bearing animals are plentiful in the forests and streams, and valuable fur seals inhabit the waters. After fishing, the state's chief industry is lumber and the production of wood pulp. In recent years, Alaska's single most important resource has become oil. The state also has large deposits of coal, copper, gold and other minerals.

After graduating, he landed on Wall Street, but every night he dreamed of working for himself.During the booming (繁荣的) 1990s, he gave it a try when he and a partner started govWorks - a software company that helped city government go online. They raised $60 million and expanded like crazy.Then dotcoms started turning into dotbombs - govWorks broke up too.Says Isaza Tuzman, "Entrepreneurs (创业人) have to be ready for both success and failure.In Columbia if you fail, you become a pariah and no one will do business with you.The wonderful thing about this country is you can get up again."

But every day, some still do make it.After govWorks went bankrupt, Isaza Tuzman built on what he had learned.His new company, Recognition Group, restructures (重组) firms and finds them venture capital？–？nearly $150 million so far.Last year, "Hispanic Business" magazine named him to its 100 Most Influential list.Not bad for a dreamer, in a country built on dreams. 41.What did Kaleil Isaza Tuzman dream of after graduating from college______ A.Working in the Wall Street stock market.
