| 第14、15、16、17、18、19、20题：Where Has the Salt Come from? Every now and then, we meet a fact about our earth that makes us feel strange and no answer for the fact has yet been found. Such a fact is the existence of salt in the oceans. How did it get there? We simply do not know how the salt got into the ocean! We do know, of course, that salt is water-soluble, and so passes into the oceans with rainwater. The salt of the earth's surface is constantly being dissolved (溶解) and is passing into the ocean. But we do not know whether this can explain the huge quantity of salt in oceans, if all the oceans were dried up, enough salt would be left to build a wall 180 miles high and a mile thick. Such a wall would reach once around the world at the Equator (赤道)! The common salt that we all use is produced from seawater or the water of salt lakes, from salt springs (源泉) and from deposits of rock salt. The concentration (浓度) of salt in seawater ranges from about three per cent to three-and-one-half percent. The Dead Sea, which covers an area of about 340 square miles, contains about 11,600,000,000 tons of salt! On the average, a gallon (加仑) of seawater contains about a quarter of a pound of salt. The beds of rock salt that are found in various parts of the world were all originally formed by the evaporation (蒸发) of seawater millions of years ago. It is believed that the thick rock-salt deposits were formed after about nine-tenth of the volume of seawater had been evaporated. Most commercial salt is obtained from rock salt. The usual method is to drill wells (井) down to the salt beds. Pure "water is pumped down (抽进去) through a pipe. The water dissolves the salt and it is forced through another pipe up to the surface. 16 We have not fully understood how salt got into the ocean. A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned 17 The author is sure that the dissolved salt from the earth's surface is the only source of the huge quantity of salt found in oceans. A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned 18 If all the oceans were dried up, the salt thus obtained would be extremely great in size. A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned 19 The percentage of salt content in the Red Sea is higher than that in the Dead Sea. A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned 20 Beds of rock salt are found in every part of the world. A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned 21 After evaporation, about ten percent of seawater becomes rock salt. A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned 22 Most commercial salt is obtained from seawater. A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned |

| 第21、22、23、24、25、26、27、28题：Early Ideas about the Universe 1 Early man got his ideas about the universe by looking at the stars as you do. He observed carefully, and learned many things about the sun, the moon, and the stars. 2 Suppose you were asked to collect evidence about the sun as early man did. You might go out morning after morning and see it come up in the east. Even on cloudy mornings, you would observe that the darkness goes away and the world becomes light. You might not see the sun but would be sure it is there, because you notice that the earth warms up. As you continued, the sun climbs higher in the sky each day during part of the year. It stays in the sky longer. The earth gets warmer. Things begin to grow. It is spring and then summer. 3 After a while the sun stays in the sky for shorter and shorter periods. Many plants begin to die. Leaves fall. Winter comes. Year after year this is repeated and you cannot tell exactly why it happens. But you realize that the sun seems to make the difference. Primitive (原始的) man felt that since the sun was so powerful it must be a god. It may seem silly to us now to worship (崇拜) a sun-god, but primitive man was right about the importance of the sun to life on earth. 4 You have been told that the world is round. But suppose no one had ever taught you that the world was like a huge ball. Would you have ever thought of it yourself? You cannot see the curve (曲线) of the earth at once. You would have no idea of how big it was. That's why early man believed that the earth was small and fiat. Such ideas appeared from the evidence they had. 5 If you watch the stars night after night, you will see them rise and set. As you look at the sky, it is not difficult to imagine that you are in the center of a vast collection of twinkling (闪烁) lights. Some early astronomers (天文学家) believed the sky was a crystal shell or series of crystal shells, one inside the other. They believed this because that is what the night sky looked like. For many centuries, men believed that the earth was the center of the universe and that the sun, the moon, and the stars circled around it. 1 Paragraph 2__________. 2 Paragraph 3__________. 3 Paragraph 4__________. 4 Paragraph 5__________. A Early Ideas about the Sky and the Stars B The Importance of the Sun to Life on Earth C Primitive Knowledge of the Moon D The Sun in Autumn and Winter E Early Ideas about the Earth F Collecting Evidence about the Sun 5 Early man thought the earth was small and flat because__________. 6 Primitive man believed the sun was a god because__________. 7 Early man thought the earth was the center of the universe because__________. 8 Early astronomers believed that the sky was a crystal shell or series of crystal shells because__________. A he did not observe the sun carefully enough B he could not see its curve C the sun, the moon and the stars seemed to move around it D the earth circles around the sun E it looked like that at night F it has power over life on earth |

| 第29、30、31、32、33题： 第一篇 TapeStore: A New Tape Storage System TapeStore is a new kind of tape storage system which can store up to 6,000 computer tapes. No other tape storage system can hold as many computer tapes as TapeStore. The tapes look exactly like video cassettes. Many hundreds of data files can be stored on each tape, up to a maximum of 500 million bytes (字节) of data. If you stored the same amount of information on paper, you would "need nearly 4.5 billion printed pages. The machine is a tall black box with a mechanical arm. The machine is 2.5 metres high and 3.0 metres wide. This is how it works. Each tape has a code printed on it. You feed the code number into TapeStore, which then looks for the code. As soon as TapeStore locates the code, the arm reaches in and pulls out the tape. The system is very fast. It takes the mechanical arm about 10 seconds to find the tape it is looking for. The machine then searches the tape to extract (提取) the required file, and this takes less than a minute. A human technician would have to locate and remove the tape by hand, and could take at least an hour to find the right file on the tape. Some of the world's biggest companies, including banks, insurance companies, airlines, telephone companies, utilities and computer centres, have bought the system. They like it particularly because the system guarantees the security of their data. TapeStore was originally developed in Canada and is now being marketed worldwide. In Europe alone, 750 have already been installed at a cost of 480,000 dollars each. 1 TapeStore is better than any other storage system because_________. A it can store more video cassettes. B itis extremely small. C it stores more tapes. D it stores data files on the same tape. 2 The mechanical arm finds a tape by_________. A recording the file name on the tape. B identifying the printed code on the tape C looking for its file name. D searching for the tape number. 3 The TapeStore system is popular among big companies mainly because_________. A it costs less than a skilled worker. B it looks impressive. C the information it stores is valuable. D it ensures the safety of their data. 4 Which of the following statements about TapeStore is NOT true? A It can store a large amount of information. B It is very cheap. C It is very fast. D It is secure. 5 The word "marketed' in the last paragraph can be replaced by_________. A installed. B used. C promoted. D designed. |

| 第34、35、36、37、38题： The Cherokee Nation Long before the white man came to America, the land belonged to the American Indian nations. The nation of the Cherokees lived in what is now the southeastern part of the United States. After the white man came, the Cherokees copied many of their ways. One Cherokee named Sequoyah saw how important reading and writing were to the white man. He decided to invent a way to write down the spoken Cherokee language. He began by making word pictures. For each word he drew a picture. But that proved impossible - there were just too many words. Then he took the 85 sounds that made up the language. Using his own imagination and an English spelling book, Sequoyah invented a sign for each sound. His alphabet proved amazingly easy to learn. Before long, many Cherokees knew how to read and write in their own language. By 1828, they were even printing their own newspaper. In 1830, the U.S. Congress passed a law. It allowed the government to remove Indians from their lands. The Cherokees refused to go. They had lived on their lands for centuries. It belonged to them. Why should they go to a strange land far beyond the Mississippi River? The army was sent to drive the Cherokees out. Soldiers surrounded their villages and marched them at gunpoint (在枪口的威胁下) into the western territory. The sick, the old and the small children went in carts, along with their belongings. The rest of the people marched on foot or rode on horseback. It was November, yet many of them still wore their summer clothes. Cold and hungry, the Cherokees were quickly exhausted by the hardships of the journey. Many dropped dead and were buried by the roadside. When the last group arrived in their new home in March 1839, more than 4,000 had died. It was indeed a march of death. 6 The Cherokees used to live_________. A by the roadside. B in the southeastern part of the US. C beyond the Mississippi River. D in the western territory. 7 Which of the following statements about Sequoyah is NOT true? A He was imaginative. B He was an Indian. C He was a white man. D He wrote down the spoken Cherokee language. 8 A law was passed in 1830 to_________. A allow the Cherokees to stay where they were. B stop the Cherokees using their own language. C force the Cherokees to move westward. D forbid the Cherokees to print their own newspaper. 9 The Cherokees went to their new lands_________. A in carts. B on horseback. C on foot. D all of the above. 10 The word "exhausted' in the last paragraph could be best replaced by_________. A worn out. B ended up. C run out. D finished up. |

| 第39、40、41、42、43题： Pool Watch Swimmers can drown in busy swimming pools when lifeguards fail to notice that they are in trouble. A report says that on average 15 people drown in British pools each year, but many more suffer major injury after getting into difficulties. Now a French company has developed an artificial intelligence system called Poseidon that sounds the alarm when it sees someone in danger of drowning. When a swimmer sinks towards the bottom of the pool, the new system sends an alarm signal to a poolside monitoring station and a lifeguard's pager (呼机). In trials at a pool in Ancenis, near Nantes, it saved a life within just a few months, says Alistair McQuade, a spokesman for its maker, Poseidon Technologies. Poseidon keeps watch through a network of underwater and overhead video cameras. AI software analyses the images to work out swimmers' trajectories (轨迹). To do this reliably, it has to tell the difference between a swimmer and the shadow of someone being cast onto the bottom or side of the pool. It does the same with an image from another camera viewing the shape from a different angle. If the two projections are in the same position, the shape is identified as a shadow and is ignored. But if they are different, the shape is a swimmer and so the system follows its trajectory. To pick out potential drowning victims, anyone in the water who starts to descend slowly is added to the software's "pre-alert" (预先警戒) list, says McQuade. Swimmers who then stay immobile on the pool bottom for 5 seconds or more are considered in danger of drowning. Poseidon double-checks that the image really is of a swimmer, not a shadow, by seeing whether it obscures (使模糊) the pool's floor texture when viewed from overhead. If so, it alerts the lifeguard, showing the swimmer's location on a poolside screen. The first full-scale Poseidon system will be officially opened next week at a pool in High Wycombe, B uckinghamshire. One man who is impressed with the idea is Travor Baylis, inventor of the clockwork (时钟装置) radio. Baylis runs a company that installs swimming pools - and he was once an underwater escapologist (脱身杂技演员) with a circus (马戏团). "1 say full marks to them if this works and can save lives," he says. 11 AI means the same as_________. A an image. B an idea. C anything immobile. D artificial intelligence 12 To save a life, AI software must be able to_________. A descend in the water. B videotape every movement. C distinguish between a swimmer and a shadow D save a life within a few months. 13 How does Poseidon save a life? A It orders an underwater robot to rescue the drowning swimmer. B It alerts the lifeguard. C It displays the swimmer's shadow on the screen. D It watches the pool through dozens of overhead cameras. 14 Which of the following statements about Travor Baylis is NOT true? A He owns a swimming pool. B He invented the clockwork radio. C He was once an entertainer. D He runs a company. 15 How does Baylis look at the Poseidon system? A He thinks it is too expensive. B He thinks it is a good system. C He thinks it is not efficient enough. D He thinks it is as good as the British pool Watch system. |

| 第44、45、46、47、48题： Garlic From early times man has used garlic (大蒜). The Bible speaks of it. The Israelites (古以色列人) were once far from home. They cried out to Moses, their leader, for the foods they loved: leeks (韭菜), onions, and garlic. The Romans, like the Israelites, loved to eat garlic. And they hung bags of garlic around their necks. _____(1) They also thought it would keep them from getting sick. A similar idea is still held. Many people take garlic thinking it will prevent or cure disease. Most doctors say it does no such thing. _____(2) Its smell may force people to stay far apart. At least then they can't pass germs on to each other. _____(3) What if you're in a play, for instance? Actors have been known to forget their lines because they couldn't stand the garlic smell on a fellow actor's breath. Some have even made up new lines and actions that kept them far away from the one who had eaten garlic. Through the years man has tried to cope with the smell of garlic. _____(4) We now know why. It's been found that the oils of the garlic do not stick to the teeth, Garlic tongue, or gums (齿龈). They go into the lungs instead. From there they are breathed out. They pass out through the skin too. Strange as it seems, food may have a great deal of garlic in it without smelling or tasting strong. It all depends on how it is cooked. French cooks make a good soup with whole cloves (瓣) of garlic. They use more than thirty cloves in one bowl of soup. But they take care not to crush them. And they cook them whole. _____(5) And as the cloves cook they change in some strange way. The soup turns out to be delicious. It's not strong at all. A But no medicine, mouthwash, chewing gum, or toothpaste seems to help much B As a result, the strong oils stay in the cloves. C They say it may help in one way, though. D Many people eat garlic. E But keeping your distance can be hard at times. F They hoped it would keep away the evil eye. |
