17、egion, sent a message to other scientists on the ground, Gold possible.' Walking across hilly ground, four scientists reported, This ground should be searched for metals.' From an airplane over a hilly wasteland a scientist sent back by radio one word, Uranium'.None of the scientists had

18、 X-ray eyes: they had no magic powers for looking down below the earth's surface. They were merely putting to use one of the newest methods of location minerals in the ground-using trees and plants as signs that certain minerals may lie beneath the ground on which the trees and plants are growin

19、g.This newest method of searching for minerals is based on the fact that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of bushes and trees that grow on the surface.At Watson Bar Creek, a brook six thousand feet high in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada, a mineral search group gathered bags

20、of tree seeds. Boxed were filled with small branches from the trees. Roots were dug and put into boxes. Each bag and box was carefully marked. In a scientific laboratory the parts of the forest trees were burned to ashes and tested .Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals i

21、n it.Study of the roots, branches, and seeds showed no silver. But there were small amounts of gold in the roots and a little less gold in the branches and seeds. The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunk had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches.If the trees had not indicated t

22、hat there was gold in the ground, the scientists would not have spent money to pay for digging into the deeper. They did dig and found more fold below. They dug deeper. They found large quantities of gold.26. Scientists were flying over a desert or hilly wasteland or a mountain region in order to se

26、trument D. trained eyesBWhat is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, and red? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. Y

27、ou tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite cl

28、our as we grow up-we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.Colours do influence our moodsthere is no doubt about it .A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than

29、 a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area -until it was repainted green. The number of suicid

30、e attempts immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active.

Those who committed suicide preferred the bridge over the Thames River near london to others because of _.A. its shape B. its structure C. its colour D. its building materialsCIf the population of the earth goes on increasi

35、ng at its present rate, there will eventually not be enough resources left to sustain life on the planet. By the middle of the 21st century, if present trends continue, we will have used up all the oil that drives our cars, for example. Even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race,

36、the crowded conditions on earth will make it necessary for us to look for open space somewhere else. But none of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present. One possible solution to the problem, however, has recently been suggested by American scientist, Professo

37、r Carl Sagan.Sagan believes that before the earth's resources are completely exhausted it will be possible to change the atmosphere of Venus and so create a new world almost as large as earth itself. The difficult is that Venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a tiny amount of wat

38、er there.Sagan proposes that algae(海藻) organisms that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen should be bred in condition similar to those on Venus. As soon as this has been done, the algae will be placed in small rockets. Spaceship will then fly to Venus an

39、d fire the rockets into the atmosphere .In a fairly short time, the algae will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon.When the algae have done their work, the atmosphere will become cooler, but before man can set foot on Venus it will be necessary for the oxygen to produce rain. The su

40、rface of the planet will still be too hot for man to land on it but the rain will eventually fall and in a few years something like earth will be reproduced on Venus.36. In the long run, the most insoluble problem caused by population growth on earth will probably be the lack of _.A. food B. oil C.

41、space D. resources37.

On Venus there is a lot of _

42、.A. water B. carbon dioxide C. carbon monoxide D. oxygen39. Algae are plants that can_.A. live in very hot temperatures B. live in very cold temperaturesC. manufacture oxygen D. all of the above40. Man can land on Venus only when_.A. the algae have done their work B. the atmosphere becomes coolerC.

43、there is oxygen D. it rains thereDThe United States is on the verge of losing its leading place in the world's technology. So says more than one study in recent years. One of the reasons for this decline is the parallel decline in the number of U.S. scientists and engineers.Since 1976, employmen

44、t of scientists and engineers is up 85 percent. This trend is expected to continue. However, the trend shows that the number of 22-year-olds-the near term source of future PH.D.s-is declining. Further adding to the problem is the increased competition for these candidates from other fields-law, medi

45、cine, business, etc. While the number of U.S. PH.D.s in science and engineering declines, the award of PH.D.s to foreign nationals is increasing rapidly.Our inability to motivate students to pursue science and engineering careers at the graduate level is compounded because of the intense demand indu

46、stry has for bright Bachelor's and Master's degree holders. Too often, promising PH.D. candidates, confronting the cost and financial sacrifice of pursuing their education, find the attraction of industry irresistible.41. The U.S. will come to lose its leading place in technology probably be

47、cause _.A. the number of PH.D. degree holders is declining B. the number of scientists and engineers is decreasingC. the number of 22-year-ilds is declining D. scientists and engineers are not employed42. The field of science and engineering is facing a competition from _ .A. technology B. foreign n

48、ationalsC. such fields as law, medicine and business D. postgraduates43. Large-scale enterprises now need _.A. bright graduates and postgraduates B. new inventionsC. advanced technology D. engineers44. Many promising postgraduates are unwilling to pursue a PH.D. degree because _.A. they are not enco

49、uraged to be engaged in scienceB. industry does not require PH.D. holdersC. they have financial difficultiesD. they will spend much time and energy completing PH.D.45. PH.D. candidates "find the attraction of industry irresistible" means that _.A. they find industry is attracting more and

50、more college studentsB. they don't think they can prevent themselves from working for industryC. they cannot resist any attraction from all sidesD. they cannot work for industry any longer第二节 信息匹配 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读请阅读下列应用文和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。首先，请阅读下列的应用文：A.
