It is very 【29】 that they will be able to 【30】 earthquakes or influence the direction of their movements, which are determined by events far below the surface of the earth. But the facts they repo

20、 objectivity. Every semester we have the opportunity to evaluate our instructors. We are supposed to judge their lectures, interest in students problems, methods of assigning work, and general ability to conduct a class. Then, when the instructor has left the room, we must write our evaluations on t
21、he forms provided. We are not sup-posed to exchange view or discuss our responses. After everyone has completed the forms, one student collects and tallies the responses and then puts them in an envelope and makes them sealed. It is very difficult to evaluate another persons performance objectively.
22、 For example, Senta recently wrote irresponsible remarks about her instructor because she was falling to pass the course. Her friend Sam wrote a marvelous description of the same instructor because he received an A in the course. Both Senta and Sam were not fairly evaluating the instructor. They wer
23、e affected by the grades they were earning and were biased in their judgments. Another irresponsible form of evaluation occurred when James rated his instructor excellent be- cause the instructor is “easy“. He gives few tests and only assigns one paper during the entire term. His lectures are often
24、full of jokes and endless stories. On the other hand, James rated Pro fessor Jones poor because he assigns text work dally, gives pretest and post test reviews, and packs his lectures with a lot of information. （分数：1.00）(1).Student should evaluate their instructors _.（分数：0.20）A.by discussing opinion
25、s with classmatesB.by rating the instructors interest in students problemC.by discussing opinions with instructorsD.by rating instructors humorous remarks(2).Teacher evaluations should be written in _.（分数：0.20）A.an objective wayB.an irresponsible wayC.a biased wayD.an irrational way(3).Irresponsible
26、 evaluations consist of _.（分数：0.20）A.biased answersB.fairly written answersC.information based on teachers performanceD.well thought out judgments(4).Senta and Sam are both influenced by _.（分数：0.20）A.the instructors teaching abilityB.the professors humorous storiesC.the grades that they are earningD
27、.the long assignments given(5).James is influenced by _.（分数：0.20）A.the quality of the lecturesB.his own performanceC.the instructors personalityD.both A and CPetroleum products, such as gasoline, kerosine, home heating oil, residual fuel oil, and lubricating oil, all come from one source crude oil f
28、ound below the earth s surface, as well as under large bodies of water, from a few hundred feet below the surface to as deep as 25 000 feet into the earths interior. Sometimes crude oil is secured by drilling a hole through the earth, but more dry holes are drilled than those generating oil. Pressur
29、e at the source or pumping forces crude oil to the surface. Crude oil wells flow at varying rates, from ten to thousands of barrels per. hour. Petroleum products are always measured in 42-gallon barrels. Petroleum products are different in physical appearance: thin, thick, transparent or opaque, but
30、 their chemical composition is made up of only two elements: carbon and hydrogen, which form compounds called hydrocarbons. Other chemical elements found in union with the hydrocarbons are few and are classified as impurities. Trace elements are also found, but these are of such minute quantities th
31、at they are disregarded. The combination of carbon and hydrogen forms many thousands of compounds which are possible because of the various positions and joinings of these two atoms in the hydrocarbon molecule. The various petroleum products are refined from the crude oil by heating and condensing t
32、he vapors. These products are light oils, such as gasoline, kerosine, and distillate oil. The residue remaining after the light oils are distilled is named as heavy or residual fuel oil and is used mostly for burning under boilers. Additional complicated refining processes rearrange the chemical str
33、ucture of the hydrocarbons to produce other products, some of which are used to upgrade and increase the octane rating of various kinds of gasoline. （分数：1.00）(1).Which of the following is NOT true?（分数：0.20）A.Crude oil is found below land and water.B.Crude oil is always found a few hundred feet below
34、 the surface.C.Pumping and pressure force crude oil to the surface.D.A variety of petroleum products is obtained from crude oil.(2).Many thousands of hydrocarbon compounds are possible because_.（分数：0.20）A.the petroleum products vary greatly in physical appearanceB.complicated refining processes rear
35、range the chemical structureC.the two atoms in the molecule assume many positionsD.the pressure needed to force it to the surface causes molecular transformation(3).Which of the following is TRUE?（分数：0.20）A.The various petroleum products are produced by filtration.B.Heating and condensation produce
36、the various products.C.Chemical separation is used to produce the various products.D.Mechanical means such as the centrifuge are used to produce the various products(4).How is crude oil brought to the surface?（分数：0.20）A.By expansion of the hydrocarbons.B.By pressure and pumping.C.By vacuum created i
37、n the drilling pipe.D.By expansion and contraction of the earths surface.(5).Which of the following is NOT listed as a light oil?（分数：0.20）A.Gasoline.B.Kerosine.C.Distillate oil.D.Diesel oil.It was fifteen past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work Her bus had inc
38、hed along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day. Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When she
39、finally reached the office marked “Smith Enterprises“, she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no reply. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no answer. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in. Although she was
40、sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had the interview with Mr. Smith, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an office at ail. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. In the front of the room, somebody must have just told
41、 a good joke, she thought ,because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her. Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds,
42、 everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. Smith, who would arrive
43、 at any moment. Then Marie realized that the day s work in the office began just before Mr. Smith arrived. Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35,so that his staff knew exactly when to start working. （分

48、 to 65) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. Caroline Hartman: Thanks for the terrific article on U2s Bono and his efforts to save Africa from financial ruin. Hes not a saint. He is a hard-working, real man, using his gifts to inspire us in song and mak
49、e a difference in the world. Some issues are so serious that most of us dont even try to fix them. Bono cant save the world by himself, but like others who have shown the way, such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mohandas Gandhi, he is proving that one man can make a difference. Molly Leuschel: Bono may be smarter, better informed and more committed than other stars, but Africas problems are larger than his ambition. After living in Africa
