Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the worlds larg
10、est underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns. The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian Nation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximatel
11、y one mile from the entrance, in a room called “the Council Room,“ many Indian artifacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry. For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discov
12、ered until 1905. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water. Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motor
13、s. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.（分数：8.00）(1).The Lost Sea is unique because it is_.（分数：2.00）A.part of a historical cave

16、 needs seem endless. They might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is enough money to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears. The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter,
17、 appears. By the end of World War II, these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses. By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs
18、 appeared: the “life-enriching“ level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services. Among them are vacation t
19、rips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing. On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achie
20、ved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to en
21、joy more fully the good things on the first four levels.（分数：8.00）(1).According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when_.（分数：2.00）A.he has saved up enough moneyB.he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelterC.he has satisfied his hungerD.he has l
22、earned to build houses(2).It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War II, most Americans_.（分数：2.00）A.were very richB.lived in povertyC.did not own automobilesD.had own automobiles(3).What is the main concern of man on the fourth level?（分数：2.00）A.The more goods the better.B.The m

24、velD.will become attainable before the government takes actionsIt was a case of emergency. The four-year-old girl awoke and smelled smoke. She couldnt wake her mother, so she dialed “zero“. An operator immediately called the fire department. Help was sent, and a tragedy avoided. Days before this eme
25、rgency, the mother had taught her child how to telephone for help. Children as young as two and one-half years old can be taught to use the phone in emergency situations. Here are some points. Memorizing certain facts is important. Teach your children their names, and the section of town where you l
26、ive. Try to keep what they learn within their abilities. Simple information, learned well, is better than difficult information only partly learned. Be sure your children know how to use the telephone. They should be taught to dial “zero“ for the operator, at the very least. And they should be taugh
27、t to dial “911“ if it is used in your town. Practice over a period of several days. Over-learning is necessary so the child can act automatically in case of emergency. If you would like a booklet giving instructions on calling for help, write Telephone For Help, Box 99, Bowling Green Station, New Yo
28、rk, NY 10004.（分数：8.00）(1).Based on this passage, over-learning is good because_.（分数：2.00）A.simple information is usedB.children should know their namesC.it helps children act automaticallyD.difficult information is only partly learned(2).Paragraph 4 talks about dialing “911“. This number is probably
29、 _.（分数：2.00）A.the operatorB.an emergency numberC.a practice number for childrenD.used to keep children calm(3).One thing the passage does NOT tell you to do is _.（分数：2.00）A.call your neighborB.practice several timesC.teach children how to use the telephoneD.have children memorize some simple facts(4
30、).What is the main idea of the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Give instructions on calling for help.B.Partly-learned information is useless.C.Teach children how to deal with emergencies.D.Keep what children learn within their abilities.Oceanography has been defined as “The application of all sciences to the stu
31、dy of the sea“. Before the nineteenth century scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work. For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception
32、 of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question “What is at the bottom of the oceans?“ had to be answered with any commercial conse
33、quence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineer had to know the depth profile (起伏形状) of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured. It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for inf
34、ormation on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings (测水深) were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Se
35、a. The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deep
36、er parts of the sea. Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition (考察), which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the l
37、ast volume being published in 1895.（分数：8.00）(1).The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanographic studies take on _.（分数：2.00）A.an academic aspectB.a military aspectC.a business aspectD.an international aspect(2).It was _ that asked Maury for help in oceanographic studie
38、s.（分数：2.00）A.the American NavyB.some early intercontinental travelersC.those who earned a living from the seaD.the company which proposed to lay an undersea cable(3).The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the 1840s was_.（分数：2.00）A.to make some sounding experiments in the oceansB.to coll
39、ect samples of sea plants and animalsC.to estimate the length of cable that was neededD.to measure the depths of the two oceans(4).This passage is mainly about.（分数：2.00）A.the beginnings of oceanographyB.the laying of the first undersea cableC.the investigation of ocean depthsD.the early intercontine
40、ntal communicationsThe small number of newborn babies, which has been caused by high prices and the changing social situation of women, is one of the most serious problems in Asia. When people talk about it, you can hear a word invented in Japan, “DINKS“, which means Double Income No Kids. In many m
41、ajor Asian cities like Seoul, Singapore, and Tokyo, the cost of a house is extremely high. A young couple who want to buy their own house may have to pay about $ 300,000 (though prices have fallen). For a flat with one bedroom, one dining-room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, the couple will pay about $9
42、00 a month. Whats more, if they want to have a child, the childs education is very expensive. For example, most kindergarten charges are at least $ 5,000 a year. In such a situation, its difficult to afford children. The number of married women who want to continue working increases rapidly because
43、they enjoy their jobs. However, if they want to have children, they immediately have serious problems. Though most companies allow women to leave their jobs for a short time to have a baby, they expect women with babies to give up their jobs. In short, if they want to bring up children properly, bot
44、h parents have to work, but it is hard for mothers to work. Indeed, women who want to continue working have to choose between having children or keeping their jobs. In a word, Asian governments must take steps to improve the present situation as soon as possible.（分数：8.00）(1).What is the main problem
45、 being discussed in the passage?（分数：2.00）A.The small number of newborn babies.B.The changing social situation of women.C.The high prices of houses and education.D.The necessary steps of Asian governments.(2).According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?（分数：2.00）A.It is easy for a couple

47、0,800.D.$ 15,800.(4).The writer seems to believe that Asian governments should_.（分数：2.00）A.let women stay at home and have a babyB.allow only one of the parents to go out to workC.care for the growing needs of women for jobsD.punish the companies that permit women to leave四、Cloze(总题数：2，分数：60.00)23.P
