| 第7、8、9、10、11题：Icebergs are among nature's most spectacular creations, and yet most people have never seen one. A vague air of mystery envelops them. They come into being-somewhere-in faraway, line frigid waters, amid thunderous noise and splashing turbulence, which in most cases no one hears or sees. They exist only a short time and then slowly away just as unnoticed. Objects of sheerest beauty, they have been called. Appearing in an endless variety of shapes, they may be dazzlingly white, or they may be glassy blue, green, or purple, tinted faintly or in darker hues. They are graceful, stately, inspiring-in calm, sunlit seas. But they are also called frightening and dangerous, and that they are in the night, in the fog, and in storms. Even in clear weather one is wise to stay at a safe distance away from them. Most of their bilk is hidden below the visible top. Also, they may roll over unexpectedly, churning the waters around them. Icebergs are parts of glaciers that break off, drift into the water, float about a while, and finally melt. Iceberg afloat today are made of anowflakes that have fallen over long ages of time. They embody snows that drifted down hundreds, or many thousands, or in some cases maybe a million year ago. The snows fell in polar regions and on cold mountains, where they melted only a little or not at all, and so collected to great depths over the years and centuries. As each year's snow accumulation lay on the surface, evaporation and melting caused the snowflakes slowly fell on the top of the old, it too turned to icy grains. So blankets of snow and ice grains mounted layer upon layer and were of such great thickness that the weight of the upper layers compressed the lower ones. With time and pressure from above, the many small ice grains joined and changed to larger crystals, and eventually the deeper crystals merged into a solid mass of ice. 46.

According to the passage, icebergs are dangerous because they _____. A. usually melt quickly B. can turn over suddenly C. may create immense snowdrifts D. can cause unexpected avalanches 50.

| 第13、14、15、16、17题：The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman's life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, opportunity and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances and convenience foods. This important change in women's life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took a full-time job. However when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full- or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them. 36. It's probably now that women __________. A. marry men younger than themselves B. do not do housework C. do not want to give birth to children D. provide the money to the family like her husband 37. For women at the twentieth, the amount of time spent caring for children ______. A. was shorter than in previous centuries B. was longer than in previous centuries C. was considered to be surprisingly long D. accounted for a great part of their lives 38. We are told that, in an average family about 1900 _______. A. many children died before they were five B. seven or eight children lived to be more than five C. the youngest child would be fifteen D. four of five children died when they were five 39． When she was over fifty, the late nineteenth century mother ______. A. was unlikely to find a job even if she wanted one B. would not expect to work C. was very healthy and beautiful D. was considered to have a rest at home 40. One reason why the woman of today may take a job is that she _______. A. is younger when her children are still young B. does not like caring for children C. need not worry about food for her children D. is younger when her children are old enough to look after themselves |
