填空题Part 4 Questions 26-45 ·Read the following passage and decide which answer bestfits each space. ·For questions 26-45, mark one letter A, B, C or D on the Answer Sheet. The "standard of living" of any country means the (26) person's share of the goods and services which the country produces. A country's standard of living, therefore depends (27) and foremost on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this (28) is not money, for we do not live on money (29) on things that money can buy: "goods" such as food and clothing, and "services" such as (30) and "entertainment". A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have an effect (31) one another. Wealth depends (32) a great extent upon a country's natural resources. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a (33) soil and a favorable climate; other regions (34) none of them. Next to natural resources (35) the ability to turn them to use. China is perhaps as well off as the USA in natural resources, but suffered for many years from (36) and external wars, and for this and other reasons was incapable (37) her resources. Sound and (38) political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country (39) well served by nature but less well ordered. A country's standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and (40) within its own borders, but also upon what is indirectly produced through international trade. For example, Britain's wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural products would be much (41) if she had to depend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplus manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products that would (42) be lacking. A country's wealth is, therefore, much (43) by its manufacturing capacity, (44) that other countries can be found ready to (45) its manufactures.

Both (26) and zoology are parts of a more general field of science, biology. The two are studies of (27) things, which share certain characteristics, (28) they are plants or animals. Botany deals with plants, whose organisms that can (29) their own food by the use of sunlight. Zoology on (30) hand, deals with animals, those organisms that cannot manufacture their own food and are thus dependent (31) plants for their food. (32) plants and animals share many abilities, the extent (33) which plants can exercise some of those abilities is (34) . For example, both plants and animals need food, water, and warmth for growth, (35) plants can move to (36) those needs only by the slow extraction of their leaves and roots, while animals can move relatively (37) distances in relatively little time. When an animal is hurt with needle, the animal will (38) the part of the body (39) . This ability to draw back (40) pain or irritation, called irritability, is found only to a very limited extent in plants.

填空题Shooting molten rock more than 500 meters into the air, Etna sent streams of lava rushing down its northeastern and southern flanks. The eruption was accompanied by hundreds of earthquakes measuring up to 4.3 on the Richter scale. As a huge plume of smoke and ash drifted across the Mediterranean Sea, residents of Linguaglossa(the name means "tongues" of lava)tried to ward off the lava flows by parading a statue of their patron saint through the town's streets.【R1】______. But the episode was unnerving because it was so similar to an erratic eruption on the volcano's southern flank in the summer of 2001 that destroyed parts of a tourist complex and threatened the town of Nicolosi. Some of the lavas discharged in both events were of an unusual type last produced in large amounts at the site about 15,000 years ago.【R2】______. The Sicilians living near Mount Etna have long regarded the volcano as a restless but relatively friendly neighbor.【R3】______. But now some researchers believe they have found evidence that Etna is very gradually becoming more dangerous. It is unlikely that Etna will explode like Mount Saint Helens in the near future, but fierce eruptions may become more common. 【R4】______. Extensive reports and legends record about 3,000 years of the volcano's activity, but a reliable chronicle has been available only since the 17th century. Most of the earlier accounts are limited to particularly violent eruptions, such as those occurring in 122 B.C. and A.D. 1169, 1329, 1536 and 1669. During the eruption in 1669, an enormous lava flow buried part of the city of Catania before pouring into the sea. With a surface area of approximately 1,200 square kilometers, Etna is Europe's largest volcano. Its 3,340-meter-high peak is often covered with snow.【R5】______. Blocks of this material are occasionally caught in the magma — the molten rock moving upward—and ejected at the surface. Numerous blocks of white sandstone were blown out during the 2001 and 2002 eruptions. This phenomenon occurs whenever magma must open new paths for its ascent, as is usually the case with lateral eruptions(those that occur on the volcano's flanks). The volcano is more than 500,000 years old. Remnants of its earliest eruptions are still preserved in nearby coastal regions in the form of pillow lavas, which emerge underwater and do in fact look like giant pillows.【R6】______. Today a much steeper cone rests on the ancient shield volcano. It consists of at least five generations of volcanic edifices that have piled up during the past 100,000 to 200,000 years, each atop the remnants of its eroded or partly collapsed predecessor.【R7】______. Among Etna's special features are the hundreds of small cinder cones scattered about its flanks. Each marks a lateral outbreak of magma.【R8】______. A. Only the upper 2,000 meters consists of volcanic material; the mountain rests on a base of sedimentary rock beds. B. Perhaps because of divine intervention, nobody was hurt and damage was not widespread. C. The name of "Etna" is derived from an old Indo-Germanic root meaning "burned" or "burning". D. At first, a shield volcano — so called because it resembles a shield placed face-up on the ground — grew in a depression in the area where Etna now stands. E. One of the world's most productive volcanoes, Etna has spewed about 30 million cubic meters of igneous material each year since 1970, with a peak eruption rate of 300 cubic meters a second. F. At that time, a series of catastrophic eruptions led to the collapse of one of Etna's predecessor volcanoes. G. Though persistently active, Etna has not had a major explosive eruption — such as the devastating 1980 event at Mount Saint Helens in Washington State — for hundreds of years. H. The present-day cone has been built in the past 5,000 to 8,000 years.

填空题Read the following article and answer questions 9-18 on the next page. Addiction1 The word "addiction" is often used loosely or ironically in informal conversation. People will refer to themselves as "mystery book addicts", "fashion addicts" or "cookie addicts". Yet nobody really believes that reading mysteries, being crazy about fashion or eating cookie is serious enough to be compared with addiction to heroin, drug or alcohol. The word "addiction" is here used jokingly to denote a tendency to thoroughly or over indulge in some pleasurable activities.2 Some people often refer to being "hooked on TV". Does this, too, fall into the lighthearted category of cookie eating and other pleasures that people pursue with unusual intensity, or is there a kind of television viewing that falls into the more serious category of destructive addiction, like of drug or alcohol? The answer is obvious.3 When we think about addiction to drugs or alcohol, we frequently focus on negative aspects, ignoring the pleasures that accompany drinking or drug-taking. And yet the essence of any serious addiction is a pursuit of pleasure, a search for a "high" substance that is dismaying, the dependence of the organism upon a certain experience and an increasing inability to function normally without it. Thus a person will take two or three drinks at the end of the day not merely for the pleasure drinking provides, but also because he "doesn't feel normal" without them.4 An addict does not merely pursue a pleasurable experience and need to experience it in order to function normally. He needs to repeat it again and again. Certain thing about that particular experience makes his life without it less than complete. Other potentially pleasurable experiences are no longer possible for him, for under the magic spell of the addictive experience, his life is peculiarly distorted, and he is deprived of other possible pleasures. The addict intensely desires an experience and yet he is never really or fully satisfied. The organism may be temporarily sated or satisfied, but soon it begins to desire severely again.5 Finally a serious addiction is distinguished from a harmless pursuit of pleasure by its distinctly destructive elements and consequences. A heroin addict, for instance, leads a damaged life: his increasing need for heroin in increasing doses prevents him from rational thinking, from capable working, from maintaining relationships normally, from developing in human ways. Similarly an alcoholic's life is ruined too—it is narrowed down, cut short and dehumanized by his incurable dependence on alcohol.Questions 9-13(10 marks) For questions 9~13, choose the best title for each paragraph from the box below.

For each gap(1-8)mark one letter(A~H)on the Answer Sheet. To understand the nature of the liberal arts college and its function in our society, it is important to understand the difference between education and training. Training is intended primarily for the service of society; education is primarily for the individual. Society needs doctors, lawyers, engineers and teachers to perform specific tasks necessary to its operation, just as it needs carpenters and plumbers and stenographers.【R1】______And these needs, our training centers — the professional and trade schools — fill. But although education is for the improvement of the individual, it also serves society by providing a leavening of men of understanding, of perception, and wisdom.【R2】______They serve society by examining its function, appraising its needs, and criticizing its direction. They may be earning their livings by practicing one of the professions, or in pursuing a trade, or by engaging in business enterprise. They may be rich or poor.【R3】______Without them, however, society either disintegrates or else becomes an anthill. The difference between the two types of study is like the difference between the discipline and exercise in a professional baseball training camp and that of a Y gym. In the one, the recruit is training to become a professional baseball player who will make a living and serve society by playing baseball.【R4】______The training at the baseball camp is all-relevant. The recruit may spend hours practicing how to slide into second base, not because it is a particularly useful form of calisthenics but because it is relevant to the game.【R5】______Similarly, the candidate for the pitching staff spends a lot of time throwing a baseball, not because it will improve his physique — it may have quite the opposite effect — but because pitching is to be his principal function on the team. 【R6】______The intention is to strengthen the body in general, and when the members sit down on the floor with their legs outstretched and practice touching their fingers to their toes, it is not because they hope to become galley slaves, perhaps the only occupation where that particular exercise would be relevant. In general, relevancy is a facet of training rather than of education. What is taught at law school is the present law of the land, not the Napoleonic Code or even the archaic laws that have been scratched from the statute books. And at medical school, too, it is modern medical practice that is taught, that which is relevant to conditions today. 【R7】______ In the liberal arts college, on the other hand, the student is encouraged to explore new fields and old fields, to wander down the bypaths of knowledge. 【R8】______A. At the Y gym, exercises have no such relevance.B. There the teaching is concerned with major principles, and its purpose is to change the student, to make him something different from what he was before, just as the purpose of the Y gym is to make a fat man into a thin one, or a strong one out of a weak one.C. And the plumber and the carpenter and the electrician and the mason learn only what is relevant to the practice of their respective trades in this day with tools and materials that are presently available and that conform to the building code.D. Training supplies the immediate and specific needs of society so that the work of the world may continue.E. And in the other, he is training only to improve his own body and musculature.F. The exercise would stop if the rules were changed so that sliding to a base was made illegal.G. They are our intellectual leaders, the critics of our culture, the defenders of our free traditions, the instigators of our progress.H. They may occupy positions of power and prestige, or they may be engaged in some humble employment.

Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the Moon, is a long-time fan of space tourism. Aldrin climbed out of Apollo11 hot on the heels of Neil Armstrong in 1969. (1) Together with scientists from Purdue University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Texas, Aldrin is designing spacecrafts that would perpetually cruise between Earth and Mars. (2) "Some day, people will go to Mars on a regular basis," says team member James Longuski, a professor at Purdue. (3) The average distance between Mars and Earth is 48 million miles. (4) It sounds like a trip that would require a lot of fuel. According to the engineers, the cyclers may have a natural, renewable "fuel" supply: from the gravitational forces of the Sun, the planets, and their moons. As a spacecraft travels close to a planet, its flight path is bent, causing it to whip around the planet and significantly increasing its speed (it's as if the planet's gravity gives the passing spacecraft a kick into space). (5) It's not just science fiction: it might help us get Mars with very little fuel on board, in a journey that would take as little as six to eight months. "The cycler is essentially in orbit around the Sun and makes regular flybys of Earth and Mars," says James Longuski. "Once you put your vehicle into a cycler orbit, it continues on its own momentum, going back and forth between Earth and Mars. (6) When the cycler flies by Earth, it will be traveling at a speed of about 13,000 miles per hour. (7) This is sort of like a bus that doesn't stop," Longuski says. "When it comes by, you have to run alongside of it and grab on." AIdrin and his group think that the first cycler could be on its way by as soon as 2018. (8) (It seems a long way off now, but it's closer than you think!) Fasten your seatbelts and make sure your seatback is in its upright position. Your flight to space may be departing soon.A. These crafts, known as "cyclers", would ferry people and supplies between the two planets, enabling humans to colonize Mars — something that has long been dreamed about in science fiction.B. Most people are convinced that we are going to do this; the only question is when.C. So, if you're in middle school now, you could be taking a trip to Mars by the time you're in your thirties.D. To get a sense of just how far this is, try doing this calculation: Given that there are 2,500 miles between New York and Los Angeles, how many times would you have to travel from NY to LA and back to cover the same distance'?E. Now, at the age of 72, Aldrin is working on a new project that could put more of his fellow humans in space — namely, on journeys to one of our most fascinating neighbors, Mars.F. This is the "slingshot" trajectory that you may have seen in movies.G. Space taxis will be needed to bring people from the surface of the planet to intercept the cycler.H. You may need to carry some propellant for an occasional boost, but it's pretty much a free trip after that.

填空题1. Shareware is computer software that is distributed on the principle that user can try it before they buy it. Shareware is not free software, and it is still protected by copyright laws, the essential difference between shareware and ordinary commercial software is that users are permitted to run a shareware program to test it for a reasonable time — perhaps for 30 days — before registering and paying for it. Users who do not pay for it are on their hour, if any to stop using it. 2. Because shareware is freely distributed, it avoids many of the costs of commercial distribution. Shareware programs are usually passed around without boxes and manuals, and there are no dealers to take a cut of the profits. Shareware libraries are allowed to make a small charge to cover the cost of any risks, and on-line services may charge for connection time while a program is downloaded to a user's personal computer, but these sums are small. As a result, shareware is usually much cheaper than commercial software and it can be of very good value. 3. The shareware market was most successful in the early days of IBM Personal Computer, launched in the USA in 1981. At the time, there was relatively little commercial software around, there were not many shops selling programs, and commercial standards were relatively low. Good shareware programs such as PC-Write and PC-File generated millions of dollar's worth of sales. Today, quality software suites such as Microsoft Works and Claris Works are widely available and cheap; so most shareware programs are simpler products that often could not be distributed on a commercial basis. 4. Software writers have made a variety of attempts to encourage users to pay for programs when the test period runs out. Payment may, for example, be rewarded with an upgraded version of the program, a printed manual, and support if there are problems. Some programs include warnings or advertising messages that urge the user to pay. Some programs limit their software or stop it from working after 30 days. 5. Today, shareware is not as popular as it has been, and there are fewer shareware libraries in operation. However, the future is not necessarily hopeless. Many computer users have now become used to downloading programs over the Internet, and this means that more users have easy access to shareware. Questions 1-5 Directions: For questions 1-5, choose the best title for each paragraph from below. For each numbered paragraph(1-5), mark one letter(A-G)on your Answer Sheet. Do not mark any letter twice. A. What is shareware B. What is commercial software C. The market of shareware in 1981 D. Low price of shareware E. The hopeful future of shareware F. Two famous shareware programs G. Measures taken to urge users to buy shareware

填空题Read the following passage and answer questions 9-18.1. When Christopher Columbus landed on America's shores, he encountered copper-shinned people whom he promptly called "Indians". Current estimates indicate that there were over a million Indians inhabiting North American then. There are approximately 800,000 Indians today, of whom about 250, 000 live on reservations.2. The early settlers had an amicable relationship with Indians, who shared their knowledge about hunting, fishing, and farming with their uninvited guests. The stereotyped stealthy, wicked Indians of western movies are created by different faithless white men; the Indian was born friendly.3. Disgust developed between the Indians and the settlers, whose encroachment on Indian lands provoked an era of turbulence. As early as 1745, Indian tribes joined together to drive the French off their land. The French and Indian war did not end until 1763. The Indian had succeeded in destroying most of the settlements. The British, superficially submissive to the Indians, promised that further migrations west would not extend beyond a specified boundary.4. Vacated from their lands or, worse still, frankly giving their property to the whites for few baubles, Indians were ruthlessly pushed west. The battle in 1876 at Little Horn river in Montana, in which setting Bull and the Sioux tribes massacred General Custer's cavalry, caused the whites intensify their campaign against the Redman. The battle at Wound Knee, South Dakota, in 1890 put an end to the last vestige of hope for amity between Indians and whites.5. Although the Bureau of Indian affairs has operated since 1842, presumably for the purpose of guarding Indians "interests", Indian on reservations lead notoriously deprived lives. In recent times Indians have taken a militant stand and appealed to the courts and the American people to improve their substandard living conditions.Questions 9-13 For questions 9-13, choose the best title for each paragraph from below. For each numbered paragraph(1-5), mark one letter(A~G)on the Answer Sheet. Do not mark any letter twice.A. Indians, once the master of America, now live in their reservation.B. Indians were pushed away.C. The wars between Indians and the settlers.D. Indians are still fighting for the improvement of their lives.E. The relationship between Indians and the early settlers.F. Indians were ferocious savages.G. Indian's struggle for their own possessions.

The single, decisive factor that made it possible for mankind to settle in permanent communities was agriculture. (1) Once people could control the production of food and be assured of a reliable annual supple of it, their lives changed completely. Fanning was a revolutionary discovery. (2) With more food available, more people could be fed. Populations therefore increased. The growing number of people available for more kinds of work led to the development of more complex social structures. (3) Farming the world over has always relied upon a dependable water supply. For the earliest societies this meant rivers and streams or regular rainfall. (4) Later communities were able to develop by taking advantage of the rainy seasons. All of the ancient civilizations probably developed in much the same way, in spite of regional and climatic differences. (5) Heavier pottery replaced animal-skin gourds as containers for food and liquids. Cloth could be woven from wool and flax. Permanent structures made of wood, brick, and stone could be erected. The science of mathematics was an early outgrowth of agriculture. People studied the movements of the moon, the sun, and planets to calculate seasons. (6) With a calendar it was possible to calculate the arrival of each growing season. Measurement of land areas was necessary if property was to be a factor in farming and housekeeping. (7) All of the major ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Indus Valley, and China emerged in the 4th millennium BC. Historians still debate over which one emerged first. It may well have been the Middle East, in an area called the Fertile Crescent. This region stretches from the Nile River in Egypt northward along the coast of former Palestine, then eastward into Asia to include Mesopotamia. (8) This kind of larming depended on the reproduction of seed, normally from grain crops.A. It not only made settlements possible and ultimately the building of cities but it also made available a reliable food supply.B. Later came measures of value as commodity and money exchange became common.C. In this area people settled along the riverbanks and practiced field agriculture.D. After farming was developed in the Middle East in about 6500 BC, people living in tribes or family units did not have to be on the move continually searching for food or herding their animals.E. As villages grew, the accumulation of more numerous and substantial goods became possible.F. With a food surplus, a community could support a variety of workers who were not farmers.G. The first great civilizations grow up along rivers.H. In doing so they created the first calendars.
