23、stions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.(30%)Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Rising global carbon dioxide levels tie

24、d to global warming may not be as crucial in determining the composition of plant communities as other, localized climate changes.“ Nobody really knows what the increases in carbon dioxide are going to entail in terms of future changes in vegetation types, ” said Mark Brenner, a University of Florid

25、aassistant professor of paleontology, the study of ancient lakes.“ It looks like climate changes in different areas may bemore important than carbon dioxide, at least carbon dioxide by itself,.” he saidBrenner s research team based their conclusions on an analysis of sediment from two lake bottoms,

26、one in northern Mexico and one in northern Guatemala. The researchers used new techniques that allowed them to analyze only the remains of land plants, specifically their leaf waxes. By measuring the composition of the leaf waxes, the researchers were able to distinguish two broad categories of plan

27、ts living in these areas - so-called C3 and C4 plants, which have different photosynthetic processes. Many C4 plants are tropical grasses, while most tropical trees are C3 plants. The researchers analyzed sediments deposited over the last 27,000 years, from the last ice age to the current geological

28、 period. Over this period, there was a worldwide, relatively uniform increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations.Brenner said that if carbon dioxide played the major role in determining plant composition, one would assume that analysis of the sediments would reveal very similar changes in

29、relative abundance of C3 and C4 plants in the two places over the study period. But, in fact, the researchers found that trends in the two types of plants were different at the two locations. The changes were related not with carbon dioxide levels, but with shifts in rainf all. “ The result appears

30、to be that climate factors, especially moisture availability, determine whether C4 or C3 plants dominate in an area, not carbon dioxide,” Brenner said.Many scientists believe global warming will cause major variation in local climates worldwide, with some wet areas becoming dry and dry areas becomin

31、g wet. If that happens, it could have more impact on relative C3 versus C4 plant distribution than the rising carbon dioxide levels.11. What can be inferred in the first paragraph?A) . Climate changes are more important to the composition of plant communities than rising global carbon dioxide.B) . L

32、ocalized climate shifts may not be as crucial as carbon dioxide.C) . Nobody knows which one is important.D) . Carbon dioxide levels is crucial to the global warming.12. What is Mark Brenner?A) . He studies co- author s opinion.B) . He is assisting the University of Florida.C) . He is an expert in th

33、e field of ancient lakes.D) . His research team composed of six geologists and geographers.13. According to the third paragraph, which one is NOT true?A) . Tropical grasses are usually C4 plants.B) . C3 and C4 plants used to live in northern Mexico and Guatemala.C) . C3 and C4 plants don t have the

34、same processes.D) . Tropical trees are all C3 plants.14. Why, in the 4th paragraph, the researchers found that trends in C3 and C4 plants were different at the two locations?A) . The assumption that carbon dioxide played the major role is wrong.B) . The carbon dioxide played an important role.C) . T

35、he moisture availability was different.D) . The carbon dioxide level was different.15. What s the main idea of the passage?A) . Climates factors determine the plant distribution and composition of plant communities.B) . Global warming will cause major variation.C) . How has Brenner s research team p

36、roved truth.D) . C3 and C4 plants are important plants in determining the composition of plant communities.Passage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:Between about 1910 and 1930, new artistic movements in European art were making themselves felt in the United States. American a

37、rtists became acquainted with the new art on their trips to Paris and at the exhibitions in the famous New York gallery 291 (named after its address on Fifth Avenue) of the photographer Alfred Stieglitz. But most important in the spread of the modern movements in the United States was the sensationa

38、l Armory Show of 1913 held in New York, in which the works of many of the leading European artists were seen along with the works of a number of progressive American painters.Several of the American modernists who were influenced by the Armory Show found the urban landscape, especially New York, an

39、appealing subject. Compared with the works of the realist painters, the works of American modernists were much further removed from the actual appearance of the city; they were more interested in the feel of the city, more concerned with the meaning behind appearance. However, both the painters of t

40、he Ash Can School and the later realists were still tied to nineteenth century or earlier styles, while the early modernists shared in the international breakthroughs of the art of the twentieth century.The greatest of these breakthroughs was Cubism, developed most fully in France between 1907 and 1

41、914, which brought about a major revolution in Western painting. It overturned the rational tradition that had been built upon since the Renaissance ( 文化复兴 )-In Cubism, naturaland dryi ngfood production line,anum berofmajor pr oje cts implemente d,ha ndi cap, Li u Lihereserv oirproject work sm oot h

With what topic is the passage primarily concerned?A) The development of Cubism.B) Modern art movements in the United States.C) Contemporary artists in the United States.D)

47、The influence of photography on landscape painters.17. It can be inferred from the passage that European art trends probably affected United States art most during which of the following years?A) 1901.B) 1908.C) 1913.D) 1936.18. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a means through which Americ

48、an artists learned about new movements?A) Lessons from successful artists.B) The exhibitions at the gallery 291.C) Trips to Europe.D) The Armory Show of 1913.19. Why does the author mention Alfred Stieglitz?A) To demonstrate that photography was the major influence in modern art.B) To compare him wi

49、th other artists of the time.C) To point out that many artists learned their craft by studying with him.D) To give an example of someone who had an influence on modern art.20. According to the author, which of the following was a favorite subject for American modernists?A) Portraits of famous people

50、.B) Country scenes.C) Pictures of buildings interiors.D) City landscapes.Passage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:What are the zebra stripes on the tomato soup cans and potato chip bags? They are special black and white vertical lines. These black and white stripes can be r

51、ead by an optical scanner, or computer. The scanner, which reads the lines of code, is a small laser beam of light. When the light ray is broken by the black stripes, the computer reads the information about the product.The code is called the Universal Product Code (UPC). It is designed to add speed

52、 and efficiency to stores by using computers. It can do this in several ways. First, it is not necessary for workers to put individual prices on items. Errors in prices are eliminated, or done away with. Also, the time spent checking out is reduced. UPC gives an itemized receipt to the customer with

53、 all the items, prices, and totals. The store clerk does not need to spend time checking the price on the item and punching it into cash register. This UPC computerized system will probably save as much as 45 percent of the checkout clerks time.What do the stripes mean? How does the computer interpr

54、et the stripes? The number printed below the vertical bars identifies the manufacturer and the manufacturers item. As many as 10 trillion individual machine-readable numbers can be used with this system. In the example, the 0 on the left side means that it is a grocery item. The numbers 51000 indica

55、te the manufacturer. In this case it is the Campell Soup Company. The last five digits, 00011, mean it is a can of tomato soup. The light rays from the light beam read these lines, and the message is sent directly to the computer. The computer then finds the information about this product (price, in

56、ventory data) and sends it instantly back to the terminal at the checkout counter. At the same time, it keeps an inventory for the store manager. Many products have labels with these stripes.21. The Universal Product Code.A) makes grocery shopping easierB) makes grocery shopping complicatedC) cuts d
