21、gh it is celebrated as a lovers“ holiday today, with rite giving of candy, flowers, or other gifts between couples in love, it originated in 5th Century Rome as a respect 1 St. Valentine, a Catholic bishop. For eight hundred years before the 2 (establish) of Valentine“s Day, the Romans had pr 3 a pa
22、gan (异教徒) celebration in mid-February honoring young men“s ceremony of passage to the god Lupercus. The celebration was characterized by lottery in 4 young men would draw the names of teen 5 girls from a box. The girl given to each young man in this way would be his companion the rest of the year. I
23、n an effort to do away with such a f 6 , Pope Gelasius ordered a slight change in the lottery. Instead of the names of young women, the box would contain the names of saints. 7 the men and women were allowed to draw from the box, and the game was to imi 8 the ways of the saint they drew during the r
24、est of rite year. However, many young Roman men were not too pleased 9 the copying. Instead of the pagan god Lupercus, the Church looked for a suitable saint of love to take his p 10 . They found an appropriate choice in Valentine, who, in AD 270 had been killed by Enter Claudius.（分数：10.00）八、Part Re
25、ading Compr(总题数：0，分数：0.00)九、Section A(总题数：1，分数：5.00)A collision between an aircraft and one or more birds is termed a bird-strike. Pilots sometimes record a birdstrike while at cruising altitudes, but most of them happen when an aircraft is relatively close to the ground, usually in proximity to an
26、airport and during the circling, descent to land or take-off phases of a flight. Birdstrikes may cause significant damage to an aircraft and/or, if the birds are ingested into a jet engine, a significant and sudden loss of power. If this were to happen during take-off or initial climb of a fully loa
27、ded passenger aircraft the results could be catastrophic-loss of the aircraft and the lives of those on board. Any bird is a potential hazard to aircraft and this is especially true as bird numbers and bird size increase. Unfortunately airports themselves can be attractive to birds-rodents, insects
28、and other small animals are a food source often found in flat grassed areas such as the runway strips. Even so, this problem can be reduced by careful habitat management or bird harassment techniques practised by airport maintenance and safety personnel. Care needs to be taken by local authorities i
29、n deciding the location of rubbish tips, or when permitting other land uses that may be attractive to birds in this way. Of course these effects cannot always be anticipated with certainty since birds such as gnus have been recorded as travelling 50 kilometres or more from their roosting area to an
30、attractive food source. Local authority planning schemes often apply strict controls on developments such as abattoirs, cattle feed lots, grain handling, piggeries, canals and marina developments, fish farms, and suchlike. In most cases these uses will not be permitted without a full environmental s
31、tudy. That study should be required to deal with the question of likely bird hazards if the proposed location is in proximity to an airport. In some instances it may be necessary to consider ways of managing a particular land use in order to reduce its attractiveness to birds, for example the adopti
32、on of land-fill measures at garbage tips, or enclosed rather than open-air activity. Specialist ornithological opinion may be necessary. In such cases it may not be possible to implement immediate changes in land use, but this should not inhibit the adoption of long-term measures which are designed
33、to achieve this. Summary: A collision between an aircraft and one or more birds is known as a bird strike. It usually happens when an aircraft is close 1 , and may result in significant damage of the aircraft or loss of the aircraft and 2 of passengers and crew if they occur during take-off or initi
34、al climb. Because birds can find plenty food in flat grassed areas, airports are especially attractive to birds. However, the danger can be minimized by 3 . Local authorities need to take care when deciding on 4 . It is suggested that a full environmental stud should be made before making plans of d
35、evelopments on the land in proximity to an airport. Local authorities should get advice from specialists and take 5 in order to bring about changes in land use.（分数：5.00）十、Section B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)It is very difficult to say just when colonization began. The first hundred years after Christopher Colum
36、bus“s journey of discovery in 1492 did not produce any settlement on the North America continent but rather some Spanish trading posts further south, a great interest in gold and adventure, and some colorful crimes in which the English had their part. John Cabot, originally from Genoa but a citizen
37、of Venice, was established as a trader in Bristol, England, when he made a journey in 1497. But his ship, the Matthew, with its crew of eighteen, did no more than see an island (probably off the New England coast) and return home. He and his son made further voyages across the north Atlantic which e
38、nabled the English crown to claim a “legal“ title to North America. But for a long time afterwards the Europeans“ interest in America was mainly confined to the Spanish activities further south. The first beginning of permanent settlement in North America was nearly a hundred years after Columbus“s
39、first voyage. The Englishman Sir Walter Raleigh claimed the whole of North America for England, calling it Virginia. In 1585 he sent a small group of people who landed in Roanoke Island, but they stayed only for a year and then went back to England with another expedition, led by Drake, in 1587. A s
40、econd group who landed in 1587 had all disappeared when a further expedition arrived in 1590. The first permanent settlement in North America was in 1607. English capitalists founded two Virginia companies, a southern one based in London and a northern one based in Bristol. It was decided to give th
41、e name New England to the northern area. The first settlers in Virginia were little more than wage slaves to the company. All were men and the experiment was not very successful. Many died. Those who survived lived in miserable conditions. By 1619 the colony had only a thousand people.（分数：5.00）(1).D
42、ecide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F) according to the passage. The further voyages across the north Atlantic made by John Cabot and his son enabled the English crown to claim a “legal“ title to North America.（分数：1.00）_(2).The colony Virginia was named by Christopher Colum

44、19?（分数：1.00）_十一、Section C(总题数：1，分数：5.00)The treatment of the gypsy population of the United Kingdom is disgraceful. Local authorities are slow to provide permanent sites on which gypsies may camp. Some authorities prefer to neglect the problem of the education of gypsy children. But these authoritie
45、s have a legal obligation both to provide camp sites and to ensure that the children attend school. It is a sad reflection on our society that there should be such reluctance to comply with the law. The reasons, however, are not difficult to find. Gypsies are widely reputed to be lazy, dirty and dis
46、honest. No proud house-owner wishes to see a slovenly gypsy encampment a short distance down the road. His suburban spirit is shocked by the huddled caravans and ancient cars or ill-kept ponies; he is repelled by the slovenly women and the hordes of apparently unwashed children. And, of course, the
47、majority of elected councilors are just such proud house-owners. But gypsies are, in large part, what we have made them. Ever since their arrival in Britain more than three-and-a-half centuries ago, they have been treated as a criminal race. They came to this country proudly proclaiming themselves C
48、ounts of Egypt, but within a few years they found that every man“s hand was raised against them. Somehow they have survived, a burden upon our conscience. The law no longer discriminates against them, as it does in so many other countries, but our society is still hostile toward them. We cannot hope for any dramatic changes in their position. The barrier of generations of mi
