30、r engineers should do.答案:A听力原文 Before a new plane goes into service, every part of it is tested again and again. But there are two tests that are more important than all the others. In the first test, a modem airliner must fly at very high altitudes. Air must be pushed into the airliner so that the

31、passengers can breathe. The metal structure of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the airliner is filled with air, the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure on a small window, for instance, is like a huge, giant foot that is trying to get out. If a small p

32、art of the plane were to crack, the plane would explode in the sky. It is lowered into a huge tank of water to test the structrue of the plane. Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. Engineers c

33、an discover which part of the plane has cracked. In the second test, the test pilot must find out exactly what happens when all the engines are shut off at once. He takes the plane up very high.

36、 exactly what happens.B.To save fuel.C.To fly more slowly.D.To keep balance.答案:ASection Use of EnglishRead the following text.

37、which has been spiraling upward for 10,000 years. The 1 took a sharp upward leap with the invention of writing, but even 2 it remained painfully slow for several centuries. In Europe the next great leap forward 3 knowledge acquisition did not occur 4 the invention of movable type in the 15th century

38、 by Gutenberg and others. 5 to 1,500, by the most optimistic 6 , Europe was producing books at a rate of 1,000 titles per year. This means that it 7 a full century to produce a library of 100,000 titles. By 1950, four and a half 8 later, the rate had accelerated so sharply that Europe was producing

39、120,000 titles a year. 9 once took a century now took only ten months. By 1960, a 10 decade later, the rate had made another significant jump, 11 a centurys work could be finished in seven and a half months. 12 , by the mid-sixties, the output of books on a world 13 , Europe included, approached the

40、 prodigious figure of 900 titles per day. One can 14 argue that every book is a net gain for the advancement of knowledge. Nevertheless we find that the accelerative 15 in book publication does, in fact, crudely 16 the rate at which man discovered new knowledge. For example, prior to Gutenberg 17 11

41、 chemical elements were known. Antimony, the 12th, was discovered 18 about the time he was working on his invention. It was fully 200 years since the 11th, arsenic, had been discovered. 19 the same rate of discovery continued, we would by now have added only two or three additional elements to the p

42、eriodic table since Gutenberg. 20 , in the 450 years after his time, certain people discovered some seventy additional elements. And since 1900 we have been isolating the remaining elements not at a rate of one every two centuries, but of one every three years. 1.A.accumulationB.developmentC.knowled

50、t tolerate the obstacles I encountered daily. Improvements need to be made efficiently and made soon, or the divisions among people in this country will only become more extreme. Of course, there are things that concerned citizens can do to help. Get involved with a school, especially one in a poor

51、area. Volunteer to give a presentation or just to spend time with the children. My students were excited to talk to an insurance salesperson who came to give a career exploration lecture. They not only were genuinely interested in the opportunities he described but also were amazed that such a man w

52、ould donate an afternoon to them. Although those measures can help, they are not enough. For teaching to be effective, the entire environment of the inner city needs to be changed. Teaching someone the difference between velocity and acceleration is irrelevant if the person is hungry and scared. Pro

53、grams that educate parents in child-rearing, organize low-income groups into cooperative units, fight drug trafficking and help to clean up the ghettos physically will improve the life in the community. The small alterations and new proposals currently filling the newspapers are certainly not strong

54、 enough to transform a decaying and demoralized school structure that has been disintegrating for decades. Inner-city schools need so much more, and the children deserve so much more than our society is willing to give. Like many other people, I entered the teaching profession eager to investigate c
