单选题Earthquakes may rightly be ranked as one of the most destructive forces known to man: Since records began to be written down, it has been estimated that earthquake-related fatalities have numbered in the millions, and that earthquake-related .destruction has been beyond calculation. The greater part of such damage and loss of life has been due to collapse of buildings and the effects of rockslides, floods, fire, disease, tsunamis(gigantic sea waves), and other observable events resulting from earthquakes, rather than from the quakes themselves. The great majority of all earthquakes occur in two specific geographic areas. One such area covers the Pacific Ocean and its bordering landmasses. The other extends from the East Indians to the Atlas Mountains, including the Himalayas, Iran, Turkey, and the Alpine regions. It is in these two great belts or zones that ninety percent of all earthquakes take place; they may, however, happen anywhere at any time. This element of the unknown has for centuries added greatly to the dread and horror surrounding earthquakes, but in recent times there have been indications that earthquake forecast may be possible. By analyzing changes in animal behavior, patterns of movements in the earth"s shell, variations in the earth"s force of attraction, and the frequency with which minor earthshakes are observed, scientists have shown increasing success in expecting when and where earthquakes will strike. As a resuit, a worldwide earthquake warning network is already in operation and has helped to prepare for (and thus lessen) the vast destruction that might otherwise have been totally unexpected. It is doubtful that man will ever be able to control earthquakes and get rid of their destructiveness altogether, but as how and why earthquakes happen become better understood, man will become more and more able to deal with their possible damage before they occur.

单选题Text If you were 1 , and took a cup to the kitchen sink, you might first turn the tap 2 just a little way, so that only a thin 3 of water came from it. Then you would mm the tap a bit 4 . Not only would there be more water, but also it would come out with greater force. If you 5 it on as far as it would go, you would get no water in your cup at all, 6 it would come from the tap in so powerful a jet 7 it would bounce straight out of the cup again, and most likely drench you. In that stream of water, then, are three things—or rather, two things and 8 result. Firstly, the amount or quantity, or current of water. Secondly, the pressure 9 it. And thirdly, the power of the jet, which is the result, or 10 of the current of water and the force pushing it. ELECTRICAL POWER 11 this is not quite the same as in electricity, it helps 12 understanding amps, volts and watts. For the volt is the 13 of electrical pressure, or force. The amp (short for ampere) is the unit of electrical current, 14 the watt is the unit of electrical power. A watt is the power 15 by an ampere of current 16 in a circuit at a pressure of one volt. So the more the volts and amps there are, the more watts. 17 in that water tap, the more current there is, and the more pressure, then the greater the resulting power. The word "pressure" is not 18 correct, however, when used about volts. They are better 19 as units of force—scientists and engineers 20 them units of "electromotive force", or E.M.F.

单选题An increase in free parks in Shanghai might be pleasant, but they bring with them their own problems. There are already 122 free parks for citizens to enjoy. But visitors are often hassled by beggars and fortune-tellers, and put off by the smell of urine left behind by someone using the grass as a toilet. Law and order in free parks are also worrying the city's park operators. They couldn't take any mandatory measures on those who do indecent things in parks except to try to persuade them to stop according to local regulations on park operations, which were laid out many years ago and many parts are not in line with the need for maintenance of the increasing number of free parks. Patrols could be introduced to help park managers. On April 1,2005, Shanghai opened 23 new free parks, bringing the total number of such parks to 122. A lack of cash has also hindered park operations. The local government has allowed for subsidies to cover the cost of not charging for tickets, but attendance is often more than expected, adding to maintenance and security costs. Many parks manage to be self-supporting by running businesses such as convenient stores and cafeterias. Some also rent out areas to companies who want to do outdoor promotions. But the bottom line is that parks should be comfortable places for visitors and should not be turned into outdoor markets. As well as not charging for tickets, parks are cutting back on staff, having a few staff members for daily operations. Most construction and maintenance jobs are commissioned to enterprises through public bidding so as to evaluate costs in a transparent and economical way. So far, more than 12,000 citizens are working as volunteers to help with park operations in Shanghai. Shanghai has spent more than 3 per cent of its GDP on environmental protection in recent years. Its heavy expenditure in landscaping also paid off as it won the "National Garden City" award last year. Shanghai's goal is to increase its green area to 12 square metres per capita. It now has more than 17 million permanent residents.

单选题Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.

单选题President Coolidge’s statement, "The business of America is business," still points to an important troth today—that business institutions have more prestige(威望)in American society than any other kind of organization, including the government. Why do business institutions possess this great prestige? One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the idea of competition than other institutions in society. Since competition is seen as the major source of progress and prosperity by most Americans, competitive business institutions are respected. Competition is not only good in itself, it is the means by which other basic American values such as individual freedom, equality of opportunity, and hard work are protected. Competition protects the freedom of the individual by ensuring that there is no monopoly(垄断) of power. In contrast to one, all-powerful government, many businesses compete against each other for profits. Theoretically, if one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers, it will lose to competing business which treats its customers more fairly. Where many businesses compete for the customers’ dollar, they cannot afford to treat them like inferiors or slaves. A contrast is often made between business, which is competitive, and government, which is a monopoly. Because business is competitive, many Americans believe that it is more supportive of freedom than government, even though government leaders are elected by the people and business leaders are not. Many Americans believe, then, that competition is as important, or-even more important, than democracy in preserving freedom. Competition in business is also believed to strengthen the ideal of equality of opportunity. Com- petition is seen as an open and fair race where success goes to the swiftest person regardless of his or her social class background. Competitive success is commonly seen as the American alternative to social rank based on family background. Business is therefore viewed as an expression of the idea of equality of opportunity rather than the aristocratic(贵族的)idea of inherited privilege.

单选题Autonomous robots are able to move and decide by themselves. At a simple level, these can include robot vacuum cleaners that "decide" what to react to human behaviors without human intervention. The University of the West of England's David McGoran takes his Heart Robot on a touchy feely tour, allowing it to come face to face with a spider-like robot built by Matt Denton of Micromagic Systems. Both robots are being displayed at the London Science Museum until July 31st. The heart robot that "enjoys" being hugged and stroked could be among the first robots to signify a new era of "emotional machines" used for medical treatment and enjoyment, according to one of its inventors. It has a beating heart which rises when the body is shaken, but slows down when treated calmly. In addition, Heart's eyes flutter in response to touch. David McGoran, of the University of the West of England, predicts the part-puppet, part-machine creation he helped develop is an example of how robots will increasingly adopt human characteristics. "Right now we're seeing the first implementations in toys, "he told BBC News. "There are little robotic dinosaurs. There's a new robotic toy from the film Wall-E that's coming out, and that's a very expressive robot." Nevertheless he believes there could be major implications for social care, with research already taking place into giving elderly care homes robots that express emotions. "This raises really interesting social and ethical questions," said Mr. McGoran. He added that there could be many benefits, particularly for people taking medical treatment. "If scientists can put this natural interface into robots then it would be much easier for us to relate to robots. " The Heart Robot is on display alongside a face-tracking insect-like robot. The "ic Hexapod" by Micromagic Systems has been programmed to recognize human facial features and follow people as they move around. It tracks human faces and takes photos. Like the Heart Robot, it is billed as an example of the increasingly sophisticated ways in which machines are able to recognize and mimic human behavior.
