| 第2题： The crisis has{{U}} (57) {{/U}}questions about the large oil companies and windfall{{U}} (58) {{/U}}.Critics of the oil industry charge that the major companies are getting richer because of the oil shortage. Shortage, of course, drives prices up.As oil prices rise, the critics say, the oil companies will make more money (windfall profits) without doing a thing to{{U}} (59) {{/U}}the extra cash. "Windfall" profits are sudden unearned profits--profits made{{U}} (60) {{/U}}luck, or some special turn of events. The word itself tells what "windfall" means--something blown down by the wind, such as trees, or fruit{{U}} (61) {{/U}}from trees.But the word has taken on a special meaning. This meaning (getting something unearned) was first used in medievalEnglanD、 This is{{U}} (62) {{/U}}it started: at that time much of the land was in the hands of{{U}} (63) {{/U}}barons. The rest of the people, commoners, lived and worked on their vast estates. They planted the seed, cared for the farm animals and harvested the crops. Not all the land, however, was used for farming.Every baron kept a large private forest for{{U}} (64) {{/U}}deer and wild bear. When hungry, the people sometimes would kill the animals in the lord’s forest for fooD、And there were times{{U}} (65) {{/U}}they might cut down trees for fuel. So, strong laws were passed to protect the forests, and the animals. Violations were severely{{U}} (66) {{/U}}. But there was one way people could get wood from the forest. If they found trees blown down by the wind ("windfall") they were free to take them for use as fuel in their homes.And that is the meaning that has come down to us--something good gotten by luck or{{U}} (67) {{/U}}. The common people of oldEngland, often hungry and cold, must often have prayed for a good strong winD、Critics today{{U}} (68) {{/U}}that the oil industry has also been praying for something just like it --some political or military{{U}} (69) {{/U}}that might produce a windfall--a rise in oil prices and profits. The oil companies deny that this is so. InCongress, critics of the oil companies have proposed a{{U}} (70) {{/U}}on such profits. The debate on rising oil price will go on for some time, and most likely we will hear more and more about windfall profits. |

| 第4题：{{B}}Passage Two{{/B}} Male sea horses have a fold of skin on their bellies that forms pocket, called a brood pouch.During the breeding season, the sea horse’s pouch swells to receive eggs.A、female sea horse lays up to 200 eggs at a time in the pouch. Then she swims off, leaving her male partner to care for the developing eggs and give birth to young sea horses. The female will return everyday to check on her mate and the eggs, but she doesn’t stay long, nor does she take part in the birth. It takes from two to six weeks for the eggs in the male’s pouch to develop.During this time the male avoids open water and hides in sea grass. His big pouch makes it difficult for him to swim, so the male often uses his tail to grasp a piece of sea grass. Firmly gripping the grass, he will stay perfectly still for hours or even days. The male sea horse will change his color to blend with his surroundings and avoid being seen by predators who will try to eat him or poke holes in his pouch to get the eggs. The eggs hatch inside the male’s pouch. When the babies begin moving around, the male sea horse knows it’s time for them to be born. He grabs a sea grass stem with his tail and begins rocking, bending, and stretching his body so that the rest of the babies can be born. Sometimes he has to press his pouch against a rock Or some stiff seaweed to force the young out. Sea horse babies are born in groups of five or more. Sometimes it takes two days for the father sea horse to give birth to all his young. He is very tired when it’s over. Soon after giving birth to one brood, the male will approach his mate and show her his empty pouch. This tells her he is ready to receive eggs again. |
