21、r(总题数：0，分数：0.00)九、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Oceanography has been defined as “the application of all sciences to the study of the sea“. Before the nineteen century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writ
22、ings, but he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work.For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception 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
23、. The first time that question “What is at the bottom of the oceans?“ had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth profile of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to
24、be manufactured.It was to Maury of the U.S. Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
25、 Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea.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
26、living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea.Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition, which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their
27、classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.（分数：5.00）(1).The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanographic studies take on _ .（分数：1.00）A.an academic aspectB.a military aspectC.a busin
28、ess aspectD.an international aspect(2).It was _ that asked Maury for help in oceanographic studies.（分数：1.00）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 resp
29、onsible for in the 1840s was _ .（分数：1.00）A.to make some sounding experiments in the oceansB.to collect samples of sea plants and animalsC.to estimate the length of cable that was neededD.to measure the depths of the two oceans(4).“Defied“ in the 4th paragraph probably means “ _ “.（分数：1.00）A.doubtB.g
30、ave proof toC.contradictD.agreed to(5).This passage is mainly about _ .（分数：1.00）A.the beginnings of oceanographyB.the laying of the first undersea cableC.the investigation of ocean depthsD.the early intercontinental communications十、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Henry Ford, the famous U.S. inventor and c
31、ar manufacturer, once said, “The business of America is business.“ By this he meant that the U.S. way of life is based on the values of the business world.Few would argue with Fords statement. A brief glimpse at a daffy newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about busines
32、s. For example, nearly every newspaper has a business section, in which the deals and projects, finances and management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily. In addition, business news can appear in every other section. Most national news has an important financial asp
33、ect to it. Welfare, foreign aid, the federal budget, and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business. Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as “the entertainment industry“ or “show
34、 business“.The positive side of Henry Fords statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to U.S. life. One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job. Jobs are produced in abundance because
35、the U.S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system creates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life.The negative side of Henry Fords statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business. And the term big businessrefer
36、ring to the biggest companiesis seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the fight to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. Downsizingth
37、e driving away of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits highcreatesfeelings of insecurity for many.（分数：5.00）(1).The United States is a country _ .（分数：1.00）A.which encourages free trade at home and abroadB.where peoples chief concern is how to make moneyC.where all businesses are mana
38、ged scientificallyD.which normally works according to the federal budget(2).The influence of business in the U.S. is evidenced by the fact that _ .（分数：1.00）A.most newspapers are run by big businessesB.even public organizations concentrate on working for profitsC.Americans of all professions know how
39、 to do businessD.even arts and entertainment are regarded as business(3).According to the passage, immigrants choose to settle in the U.S., dreaming that _ .（分数：1.00）A.they can start profitable businesses thereB.they can be more competitive in businessC.they will make a fortune overnight thereD.they
40、 will find better chances of employment(4).Henry Fords statement can be taken negatively because _ .（分数：1.00）A.working people are discouraged to fight for their fightsB.there are many industries controlled by a few big capitalistsC.there is a conflicting relationship between big companies and laborD
41、.public services are not run by the federal government(5).A companys efforts to keep expenses low and profits high may result in _ .（分数：1.00）A.reduction in the number of employeesB.improvement of working conditionsC.fewer disputes between labor and managementD.a rise in workers wages十一、Passage Three
42、(总题数：1，分数：5.00)We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming (把按能力分班) pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at diffe
43、rent rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personal
44、ity. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils. To the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pup
45、ils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils le
46、arn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we
47、 teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.（分数：5.00）(1).In the passage the authors
48、 attitude towards “mixed-ability teaching“ is _ .（分数：1.00）A.criticalB.questioningC.approvingD.objective(2).By “held back“ (Line 1) the author means “ _ “.（分数：1.00）A.made to remain in the same classesB.forced to study in the lower classesC.drawn to their studiesD.prevented from advancing(3).The autho
49、r argues that a teachers chief concern should be the development of the students _ .（分数：1.00）A.personal qualities and social skillsB.total personalityC.learning ability and communicative skillsD.intellectual ability(4).Which of the following is NOT MENTIONED. in the third paragraph?（分数：1.00）A.Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with other.B.Pupils also learn to develop their rea
