17、e travel, so in undersea exploration new technologies continue to appear. They share a number of similarities with each other-as well as some important differences.Manned submersibles, like spaceships, must maintain living conditions in an unnatural environment. But while a spaceship must simply be
18、sealed against the vacuum of space, a submersible must be able to bear extreme pressure if it is not to break up in the deep water.In exploring space, unmanned vehicles were employed before astronauts. In undersea exploration, on the other hand, men paved the way, and only recently have unmanned re-
19、 mote-operated vehicles (ROVs) been put to use.One reason for this is that communicating with vehicles in orbit is much easier than talking to those underwater. A vacuum is an ideal medium for radio communications, but underwater communications are limited to much slower sound waves. Thus, most unde
20、rsea vehicles-particularly ROVs-operate at the end of long ropes.For a similar reason, knowing where you are undersea is much more difficult than in space. A spaceships position can be located by following its radio signal, or by using telescopes and radar. For an undersea vehicle, however, a specia
21、l network of sonar devices must be laid out in advance on the ocean floor in the area of a dive to locate the vehicles position.Though undersea exploration is more challenging than outer space in a number of aspects, it has a distinct advantage, going to the ocean depths doesnt require the power nec
22、essary to escape Earths gravity. Thus, it remains far less expensive.（分数：2.00）(1).People did not begin to use unmanned vehicles in undersea exploration until recently because of_.（分数：1.00）A.the communication problemB.the movement of wavesC.the ocean depthsD.the problem of vacuum(2).Which of the foll

24、undersea exploration is often faced with the same problem as the space exploration.BTEXT B/BWe 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 pupils. I

After all, it can he quite discouraging to he at the bottom of the top grade!Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to thei
26、r intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. 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 a
27、spects of learning.In our classroom, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to cooperate, 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
28、 analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn 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 thi
29、s is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this effectively. 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 encou

32、rican military action, though this fact if often omitted in history books. Even though black men almost had to beg to be al- lowed to serve in the Revolutionary War, they went on to serve well. Two blackmen, Oliver Cromwell and Prince Whipple, were with Washington when he crossed the Delaware on Chr
33、istmas Day, 1776, to attack the British at Trenton. A black man named Estabrook captured the Royal Armys general Prescott Newport, and Peter Salem, a black, killed Major Pitcairn as he was savoring his expected victory at Bunker Hill.Even though they were forced to serve in separated units, black so
34、ldiers distinguished themselves in combat. This was despite the fact the whites had long believed that blacks could neither command nor use firearms. In 1863, William Carney of the Massachusetts Colored Infantry received the Congressional Medal of Honor for his role in battles with the Plains Indian
35、s. Isaiah Dorman, Costers black scout, served and died at the Little Big Horn in 1876. Henry Flipper was the first black graduate of West Point in 1877.In World War I, 40,000 black American combat soldiers served with the French command. Neither U.S. nor British commanders would use these men. But H
36、enry Johnson and Needham Roberts, soldiers in the 369th Infantrys black “Hellfighters” were still the first Americans to win the Croix de Guerr, Frances top military award.During World War II over 600,000 black men and women served in the armed forces, including some 400,000 who served overseas. Dor
37、ie Miller, a black mess attendant in navy, was one of our first heroes in this war. At Pearl Harbor during the Japanese sneak attack, he manned a machine gun and shot down four planes. The black fighter pilots of Benjamin Davis, Jr. distinguished themselves throughout the war. They served most coura
38、geously during the Italian campaign. During the war in Vietnam, mainly because of civil rights pressures in America but also owing to the fine record of black military units, all American forces were fully integrated. Once again blacks played vital roles. And 13. 2 percent of all war deaths were of
39、blacks, even though blacks constitute only 11 percent of all Americans. Black American soldiers continue to serve their land well.（分数：2.00）(1).The main idea this passage is that_.（分数：1.00）A.black Americans made contributions in the Revolutionary WarB.black Americans have admirably served their count
40、ry in at least five warsC.black Americans suffered a larger portion of war deaths in Vietnam than did any other minoritiesD.black Americans served under the French command in World War I(2).The passage implies that_.（分数：1.00）A.black Americans were forced to fight in World War IB.black Americans serv
41、ed in the military for a good lifeC.Americans have been ignorant of the fact that blacks have played in Americas military historyD.black Americans went into war because of their courageBTEXT D/BShould doctors ever lie to benefit their patients-to speed recovery or to conceal the approach of death? I
42、n medicine as in law, government, and other lines of work, the requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed by greater needs, the need to shelter from brutal news or to uphold a promise of secrecy.What should doctors say, for example, to a 46-year-old man coming in for a routine physical checkup who,
43、though he feels in perfect health, is found to have a form of cancer? If he asks, should the doctors deny that he is iii, or minimize the gravity of the illness? Doctors confront such choices often and urgently. At times, they see important reasons to lie for the patients own sake. In their eyes, su
44、ch lies differ sharply from self-serving ones.Studies show that most doctors sincerely believe that the seriously iii do not want to know the truth about their condition, and that informing them risks destroying their hope, so that they may recover more slowly, or deteriorate faster, perhaps even co
45、mmit suicide. As one physician wrote. “Ours is a profession which traditionally has been guided by a precept that transcends the virtue of uttering the truth for truths sake, and that is, as far as possible do no harm. “ Armed with such a precept, a number of doctors may slip into deceptive practice
46、s that they assume will “do no harm“ and may well help their patients.But the illusory nature of the benefits such deception is meant to produce is now coming to be documented. Studies show that, contrary to the belief of many physicians, an over- whelming majority of patients do want to be told the
47、 truth, even about grave illness, and feel betrayed when they learn that they have been misled. We are also learning that truthful information, humanely conveyed, helps patients cope with illness.Not only do lies not provide the “help“ hoped for by advocates of benevolent deception, they invade the
48、autonomy of patients and render them unable to make informed choices concerning their own health.Lies also do harm to those who tell them. harm to their integrity and, in the long run, to their credibility. Lies hurt their colleagues as well. The suspicion of deceit undercuts the work of the many doctors who are scrupulously honest with their patients; it contributes to the spiral of lawsuits and of “defensive medicine“, and thus it injures, in turn, the entire medical profession.（分数：2.00）
