| 第2、3、4、5、6题：T[ornadoes,whirlwinds,and watersprouts are rotating funnel cloud air masses of small diameter.They are differentiated by the intensity of their rotation and by the surfaces that they traverse.Though tornadoes and whirlwinds both travel over land masses,whirlwinds are atmospheric systems smaller than tornadoes.Watersprouts are tornadoes that form or pass over a water surface.A tornado is a powerful vortex or “twister” whose rotational speeds are estimated to be near 300 miles per hour.The first visible indication of tornado development is usually a funnel cloud.As this funnel dips earthward,it becomes darker because of the debris that is forced into its intensifying vortex.Some tornadoes give no visible warning until their destruction strikes the unsuspecting victim.Tornadoes often occur in groups,and several twisters sometimes descend from the same cloud base.The forward speed of a tornado is normally 30 to 40 miles per hour.In the short time that it takes to pass,a tornado can cause fantastic destruction.There have been cases reported in which blades of straw were embeded in fence posts. 31. How are tornadoes distinguished from whirlwinds? A.Whirlwinds rotate in a different direction than tornadoes do. B.Tonadoes travel over land and whirlwinds over water. C.Tonadoes are larger than whirlwinds. D.Only tornadoes are funnelshaped. 32. Why do tornadoes appear to be dark? A.They occur only at night. B.They are funnel-shaped. C.They pick up debris from the ground. D.They are water-laden. 33. According to the passage,which of the following behaviors is frequently characteristic of funnel clouds?

| 第7、8、9、10、11题：Animation means making things which are lifeless come alive and move. From earlist times, people have always been facinated by movement, But not until this century have we managed to capture movement, to record it, and in the case of animation, to reinterpret it and recreate it. To do all this, we use a movie camera and a projector. In the world of cartoon animation, nothing is impossible. You can make the characters you create do exactly what you want them. A famous early cartoon character was Felix the Cat, created by Pat Sullivan in American in the early ninrteen twenties. Fedix was a marvellous cat. He could do all sorts of things no natural cat could do like taking off his tail, using it as a handle and then putting it back. Most of the great early animatiors lived and worked in America, the home of the moving picture industry. The famous Walt Dianey cartoon characters came to life after 1928. Popeye the Sailorman and his girl friend Olive Oyl were born at the Max Fleischer studios in 1933. But to be an animator, you don't have to ba a professional. It is possible for anyone to make a simple animated film without using a camera at all. All you have to do is draw directly on to blank film and then run the film through a projector. 31. What's the main topic of the passage? A. American history. B. Cartoon making. C. Movement. D. Cartoon character. 32. Felix the Cat can do many things to it's tail except ______.

| 第12、13、14、15、16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 |

| 第17、18、19、20、21题：Joblessness is far more than an economic misfortune.It can be a psychological disaster for the unemployed and their families.It can cause illness,divide families and create a downward spiral of feelings of worthlessness and lack of selfesteem.According to research done by M. Harvery Brenner,associate professor of health at Johns Hopkins University,every 1% increase in the unemployment rate translates into 37,000 deaths over the next 6 years,including over 20,000 deaths from heart attcks,900 suicides and nearly 500 deaths from cirrhosis of the liver.In addition,Brenner estimates that 7,500 unemployed or their families will be admitted to prison after committing a crime or to a mental hospital.“The impact goes well beyond the individual who loses a job,”said Brenner.“stress caused by econo mic factors affects our national life at every level.” Men who have been socialized as the family breadwinner are especially hard hit by unemployment.They suffer greater depression and anxiety and have a higher possibility of psychotic behavior than men who are employed.“Nine months seems to be a crucial point when hope and patience give out,”said a leading psychologist. After that,“illness,suicide,alcoholism,divorce,and even crime grow at epidemic rate.” Left without a job,many workers feel they have nothing to look forward to.They miss their coworkers and the routine of going to work.For many,the sense of hopelessness grows worse every time they are rejected for a new job.When this happens often enough,the rejection unemployed workers feel may be exacerbated if some friends and neighbors avoid them as if they had a contagious disease. 21. According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true? A.Joblessness is an economic misfortune. B. Joblessness is a psychological disaster for the unemployed and their families.

B.It causes the divorce. C.it creates a feeling of worthlessness and lack of selfesteem. D.All above. 23. According to M. Harvey Brenner's research,if there is 1% increase in the unemployment rate,how many people will die from cirrhosis of the liver? A.37,000 B.20,000 C.900 D.500 24. If a man has been unemployed for a year,he____. A.will be happy and relieved. B.will be hopeless. C.will lose patience D.both B and C 25. What is the best title for this passage?
