单选题{{B}}Section B{{/B}} There is one passage in this section with five unfinished statements. Read the passage carefully, and then complete each statement in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet. Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage. The conquering Europeans displaced the Aborigines, killing many, driving others from their traditional tribal ]ands, and eventually settling many of the tribal remnants on government reserves, where flour and beef replaced nardoo and wallaby as staple foods. And so, gradually, the vast store of knowledge, accumulated over thousands of years, fell into disuse. Much was lost. However, a few European men took an intelligent and even respectful interest in the people who were being displaced. Explorers, missionaries, botanists, naturalists and government officials observed, recorded and fortunately in some cases, published. Today, we can draw on these publications to form the main basis of our knowledge of the edible, natural products of Australia. The picture is no doubt mostly incomplete. We can only speculate on the number of edible plants on which no observation was recorded. Not all our information on the subject comes from the Aborigines. Times were hard in the early days of European settlement, and traditional foods were often in short supply or impossibly expensive for a pioneer trying to establish a farm in the bush. And so necessity led to experimentation, just as it must have clone for the Aborigines, and experimentation led to some lucky results. So far as is known, the Aborigines made no use of Leptospermum or Dodonaea as food plants, yet the early settlers found that one could be used as a substitute for tea and the other for hops. These plants are not closely related to the species they replaced, so their use was not based on botanical observation. Probably some experiments had less happy endings; L. J. Webb has used the expression eat, die and learn in connection with the Aboriginal experimentation, but it was the successful attempts that became widely known. It is possible that the edibility of some native plants used by the Aborigines was discovered independently by the European settlers or their descendants. Explorers making long expeditions found it impossible to carry sufficient food for the whole journey and were forced to rely, in part, on food that they could find on the way. Still another source of information comes from the practice in other countries. There are many species from northern Australia which occur also in Southeast Asia, where they are used for food. In general, those Aborigines living in the dry inland areas were largely dependent for their vegetable foods on seed such as those of grasses, acacias and eucalypts. They ground these seeds between flat stones to make coarse flour. Tribes on the coast, and particularly those in the vicinity of coastal rainforests, had a more varied vegetable diet with a higher proportion of fruits and tubers. Some of the coastal plants, even if they had grown inland, probably would have been unavailable as food since they required prolonged washing or soaking to render them non-poisonous; many of the inland tribes could not obtain water in the quantities necessary for such treatment. There was also considerable variation in the edible plants available to Aborigines in different latitudes. In general, the people who lived in the moist tropical areas enjoyed a much greater variety, than those in the southern part of Australia.

单选题{{B}}Section D{{/B}} Directions: You are going to read a passage. Seven sentences have been removed from it. Choose from the sentences A-H the one which fits each gap. There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use. Bacteria are extremely small living things. While we measure our own sizes in inches or centimeters, {{U}}(72) {{/U}} . One micron is a thousandth of a millimeter; a pinhead is about a millimeter across. Red-shaped bacteria are usually from two to four microns long, while rounded ones are generally one microns in diameter. Thus, if you enlarged a rounded bacterium a thousand times, {{U}}(73) {{/U}} . An adult human magnified by the same amount would be over a mile (1.6 kilometers) tall. Even with an ordinary microscope, you must look closely to see bacteria. {{U}}(74) {{/U}} , one finds that bacteria are barely visible as tiny rods or dots. One cannot make out any things of their structure. Using special strains, {{U}}(75) {{/U}} . Others have only one flagellum. The flagella (游丝) rotate, pushing the bacteria through the water. Many bacteria lock flagella and cannot move about by their own power, {{U}}(76) {{/U}}. From the bacterial point of view, the world is a very different place from what it is to humans. To a bacterium, {{U}}(77) {{/U}} . Bacteria are so small that they are influenced by the movements of the chemical molecules around them. Bacteria under the microscope, even those with no flagella, often bounce about in the water. This is because {{U}}(78) {{/U}} . Molecules move so rapidly that within a tenth of a second the molecules around a bacterium have all been replaced by new ones; even bacteria without flagella are thus constantly exposed to a changing environment. Sentence: A. Using a magnification of 100 times. B. It would be just about the size of a pinhead. C. Water is as thick as molasses is to us. D. The bacteria content different liquids. E. Bacterial size is measured in microns. F. While other can glide along over surfaces. G. They collide with the water molecules and are pushed this way and that. H. One can see that some bacteria have attached to the wavy-looking "hairs" called flagella.

单选题{{B}}Section B{{/B}} Directions: In this section, there is one passage followed by 5 questions. Read the passage carefully, then answer the questions in a maximum of 10 words. Questions 61-65 are based on the following passage. Going to the beach is many American's favorite activity. In the area near New York City, nine million people used to go to the beach every summer. They went swimming in the ocean without giving a thought to what was underwater. But those days are long gone. In the summer of 1988, the government was forced to shut down beaches all over America. Many of the beaches had to be closed because garbage from hospitals was found in the water. The garbage including glass bottles with samples of blood, and people were afraid they might get AIDS from the blood. Where the medical garbage came from is anybody's guess. At some beaches, sewage was found in the water. Americans were shocked by this state of affairs. They had long taken for granted that oceans were big enough to stay clean, even if garbage and sewage were dumped into them. People didn't think of the underwater garbage because it was out of sight. Some of the most polluted waters still look beautiful at first glance. San Francisco Bay is a good example of a beautiful bay that's full of chemicals. Scientists discovered pollution in some lakes and rivers when they found fish with rotting skin. In some parts of American, people are told not to eat too much fish because of pollution. Most American cities put their garbage in the ground. But New York and a few other cities put their garbage in the ocean. Boston Harbor's is so polluted that scientist say it won't recover until the next century at best. The city of Boston puts its sewage in the water. The government has ordered the city to build a sewage treatment plant. Cleaning up oceans won't be easy, but people can no longer ignore this challenge.
