| 第10、11、12、13题：One answer to the question of land shortage was suggested by an organization some years ago. A city was to be built at sea, housing 30,000 people. The suggestion was to shape the city like a harbor(港口)。The outer wall of the harbor would stand on steel columns resting on the sea---bed. Naturally this could only be where the water was fairly shallow. The people would like to live in flats in the fifty----metre high outer wall. The flats would be all face inwards, and would be made of concrete(混泥土) and glass. The glass would be specially made and colored to control the heat and strong light from the sun. The planners called this man --- made harbor would be calm. On it would be floating islands carrying more building: a hospital, two theaters, museum, an art exhibition hall and a church. On one of the islands would be a special factory to take the salt out of sea water and turn it into fresh water. People living in the city could move around on small boats driven by electricity, so there would be no air pollution from the burning of gas. There would be platforms outside the man wall for ships bringing supplies. People could also travel to the mainland by motorboat or water plane. 43.

Ｃ．The building of the city would rest on a floating island. Ｄ．The people would live in tall building surrounded by a wall. 44. How would fresh water be supplied to the city? Ａ．By treating sea water.

The suggestion made by the organization is to solve the problem that _______. Ａ．there is not enough space for building cites on land Ｂ．land transportation has became increasingly difficult Ｃ．there are too many people on land Ｄ．present cities are heavily polluted by cars 46. the purpose of the writer is-_______.

| 第14、15、16、17题：Greek soldiers sent messages by turning their shields(盾)toward the sun. The flashes reflected light could be seen several miles away. The enemy did not know what the flashes meant, but other Greek soldiers could understand the messages. Roman soldiers in some places built long rows of signal towers. When they had a message to send, the soldiers shouted it from tower to tower. If there were enough towers and enough soldiers with loud voices, important news could be sent quickly over distance. In Africa, people learned to send messages by beating on a series of large drums(鼓). Each drum was kept within hearing distance of the next one. The drum beats were sent out in a special way that all the drummers understood. Though the messages were simple, they could be sent at great speed for hundreds of miles. In the eighteenth century, a French engineer found a new way to send short messages. In this way, a person held a flag in each hand and the arms were moved to various positions representing different letters of the alphabet. It was like spelling out words with flags and arms. Over a long period of time, people sent messages by all these different ways. However, not until the telephone was invented in America in the nineteenth century could people send speech sounds over a great distance in just a few seconds. 65. According to this passage, the Roman way of communication depended very much upon . A、fine weather B、high tower C、the spelling system D、arm movements 66. Which of the following statements is true? A、Neither the Greek soldiers nor their enemy could understand the message. B、African soldiers shouted from tower to tower to pass message. C、Telephone was invented by a French engineer. D、Only by using telephone could people send speech sounds quickly. 67. The African way of communication sent messages. A、in a special way B、over a very short distance C、by a musical instrument D、at a rather slow speed 68. The way of communication made use of visible signs. A、French B、Roman C、African D、American |
