7、nswers. Choose the one you think is the best answer. Mark your choice on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:Although no one is certain why migration occurs, there are several theorie

8、s. One theory claims that prehistoric birds of the Northern Hemisphere were forced south during the Ice Age. As the glaciers melted, the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer, and then went south again as the ice advanced in winter. In time, the migration became a habit in spite of th

9、e disappearance of glaciers.Another theory proposes that the ancestral home of all modern birds was the tropics. When the region became overpopulated, many species were crowded north. During the summer, there was plenty of food, but during the winter, scarcity forced them to return to the tropics.A

10、more recent theory suggests a relationship between increasing daylight and the stimulation of certain glands (腺) in the birds bodies that may prepare them for migration. One scientist has been able to cause midwinter migrations by exposing birds to artificial periods of daylight. He has concluded th

11、at changes occur in the bodies of birds due to seasonal changes in the length of daylight.11.According to one theory, when the glaciers disappeared, birds _A)stopped migratingB)continued migratingC)stayed in the north D)migrated south and stayed there12.Theauthor states that birds left the tropics b

12、ecause _A)there was not enough food there in the winterB)there were too many birdsC)there were too many glaciersD)there was too much daylight13.Why did one scientist expose birds to artificial daylight?A)To test the relationship between daylight and a disease of the glands common tobirdsB)To test th

13、e relationship between daylight and migrationC)To test the relationship between migration and temperatureD)To test the relationship between daylight and changes in the season14.According to the theory of photo-periodism, _A)birds should migrate in the middle of the winterB)longer days cause changes

14、in the bodies of birdsC)seasonal changes in the length of days do not affect migrationD)increasing daylight increases the distance of migration15.This passage supports the belief that _A)exact reasons for migration are not knownB)birds migrate because of changes in temperatureC)the ancestral home of

15、 all birds was the tropicsD)glaciers caused birds to migrate Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage:In Guangzhou, capital of South Chinas Guangdong Province, Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport resumed its international flights to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and oth

16、er Southeast Asian nations and regions early this month, said an airport official yesterday.And the airports flow of international passengers for July has reached 80 per cent of the figure for the corresponding month of the previous year. Guangzhou Baiyan International Airport had to cancel some int

17、ernational services to Southeast Asian countries and regions because of the outbreak of ASRS beginning in April, the official said. The official predicted his airports international service would return to normal operation and handle even more international passengers in August.Currently, the Guangz

22、where people should go to visit after SARSC. the prediction of what will happen to transport and tourism after SARSD. the resuming service in Guangzhou Baiyun International AirportQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage:It is curious how often sympathy for the old and infirm takes a form

23、which actually humiliates them. Their friends, with good will, sometimes lean forward to rearrange their neckwear, touching their hair or patting their facesthings they would never presume to do, unasked, to one of their contemporaries. An equally humiliating habit is to talk about old people in fro

24、nt of them as if they were not there, discussing their health.It is now universally accepted that children should be encouraged to do as much as they can for themselves in order to develop their brains and muscles, but so few people today seem to have time to allow the elderly the same means of keep

25、ing their minds and muscles active. They perform innumerable services for the old that they would be much better left to do, even with a struggle, for themselves.Convenient flats, “motherly” visitors, or organized entertainments cannot make up for the fundamental need which must be satisfiedthe need

26、 to retain to the end of life human dignity and the respect of ones fellows.21.

29、hey may keep human dignity and enjoy the respect of the fellowsB)they wont feel hurt or humiliatedC)they will be able to develop their brains and musclesD)they will be able to keep their minds and muscles active25.

30、good to the oldB)how to take good care of the old in different waysC)nowadays many people are not respectful enough to the oldD)old people are just like children, who are difficult to satisfyQuestions 26-30 are based on the following passage:Wind, wave and tides all suffer from the fact that they ar

31、e variable sources of power output. For example, there will be times when due to windless days or calm seasand both can occur for periods of several days even in the winter timethey are producing little or no power. Insofar as this shortfall has to be made up by electricity from conventional power s

32、tations, these newer energy sources would not necessarily reduce the installed capacity of such conventional stations needed to meet the total demand on windless or calm days. What the newer sources will do is to save fuel that would otherwise be burned in conventional power stations.Pumped storage

33、reservoirs could in principle be used to counter this effect, but there is not enough additional reservoir capacity available. We therefore face the same type of storage problem as in solar energy. Thus, unless some new method of energy storage can be developed or we move to the widespread use of a

34、fuel like hydrogen, the wind and wave schemes will be at an economic disadvantage.26. The power produced by the waves, tide and wind _A)is not as consistent as it should beB)is generally less in winter than in summerC)is never likely to be very greatD)is consistent27. Alternative sources of energy _

35、A)could not possibly reduce the installed capacity of conventional power stationsB)might not reduce the installed capacity of conventional power stationsC)would automatically reduce the installed capacity of conventional power stations D) would make it necessary to reduce the installed capacity of c

36、onventional power stations28.What, according to this passage, would be the major impact of the newer energy sources?A)A reduction of the fuel consumed by conventional power stationsB)A reduction of the manpower required by conventional power stationsC)The total replacement of conventional power stat

37、ionsD)The total replacement of conventional energy sources29.The energy produced by the sun _A)is easy to storeB)poses similar problems to the other newer energy sourcesC)poses very few problemsD)poses different problems from the other newer energy sources30.Hydrogen _A)is a widely-used fuelB)is not

38、 yet in general use as a fuelC)is not a particularly easy fuel to storeD)is a more economical fuel than wind energyPart Three Cloze TestDirections:For each blank in the following passage, choose the best answer from the choices given below.

39、il a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.A land free from destruction, plus wealth, natural resources, and labor supply all these were important factors, in helping England to become the center for the Industrial Revolution. 31 they were not enough. Something else was needed to

40、 start the industrial process. That “something special” was men 32 individuals who could invent machines, find new sources of power, and establish business organizations to reshape society.The men who 33 the machines of the Industrial Revolution came from many backgrounds and many occupations. Many

41、of them were 34 inventors than scientists. A man who is a pure scientist is primarily interested in doing his research 35 . He is not necessarily working so that his findings can be used. An inventor or one interested in applied science is 36 trying to make something that has a concrete idea. He may

42、 try to solve a problem by using the theories 37 science or by experimenting through trial and error. Regardless of his method, he is working to obtain a specific result: the construction of a harvesting machine, the burning of a light bulb, or one of 38 other objectives.Most of the people who devel

43、oped the machines of the Industrial Revolution were inventors, not trained scientists. A few were both scientists and inventors.
