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 morns fro

16、m a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximately 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 minors of a large u

17、nderground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered 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

18、onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found.

21、ng groundC.a tourist attractionD.a motor boat race course六、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Human 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. O

22、nce this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, 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 l

23、evel of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs 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 ,achievem

24、ent, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods anti the latest styles in clothing.On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three l

25、evels more is spent on goods.A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved 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,

26、our teeth, and our minds ,we now may seek to ensure the health ,safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.（分数：12.00）(1).According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when _.（分数：3.00）A.he has saved up enough mone

29、evelB.may be a lot more desirable than the first fourC.can be the last and most satisfying levelD.will become attainable before the government takes actions七、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：12.00)It was a case of emergency. The four-year-old girl awoke and smelled smoke. She couldnt wake her mother, so she d

30、ialed “zero“. An operator immediately called the fire department, Help was sent, and a tragedy avoided.Days before this emergency, 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

31、are some points. Memorizing certain facts is important. Teach your children their names, and the section of town where yon live. 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

32、 how to use the telephone. They should be taught to dial “zero“ for the operator, at the very least. And they should be taught 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

33、would like a booklet giving instructions on calling for help, write Telephone Fur Help, Box 99, Bowling Green Station, New York, NY 10004.（分数：12.00）(1).Based on this passage, over-learning is good because _.（分数：3.00）A.simple information is usedB.children should know their namesC.it helps children ac

34、t automaticallyD.difficult information is only partly learned(2).Paragraph 4 talks about dialing “911“ . This number is probably _.（分数：3.00）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：3.00）A

35、.call your neighborB.practice several timesC.teach children how to use the telephoneD.have children memorize some simple facts(4).What is the main idea of the passage?（分数：3.00）A.Give instructions on calling for help.B.Partly-learned information is useless.C.Teach children how to deal with emergencie

36、s.D.Keep what children learn within their abilities.八、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Oceanography has been defined as “The application of all sciences to the study of the sea“.Before the nineteenth century scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some

37、 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 of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alo

38、ne 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 consequence 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 ro

39、ute 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 information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings (测水深) were taken to investigate

40、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 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

41、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 deeper parts of the sea. Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition (考察), which lasted for tour years

42、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 last volume being published in 1895.（分数：12.00）(1).The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanographic studies take on _

43、.（分数：3.00）A.an academic aspectB.a military aspectC.a business aspectD.an international aspect(2).It was _ that asked Maury for help in oceanographic studies.（分数：3.00）A.the American NavyB.some early intercontinental travelersC.those who earned a living from the seaD.the company which proposed to lay

44、an undersea cable(3).The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the 1840s was _.（分数：3.00）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).This passage

45、is mainly, about _.（分数：3.00）A.the beginnings of oceanographyB.the laying of the first undersea, cableC.the investigation of, ocean depthsD.the early intercontinental communications九、Passage Five(总题数：1，分数：12.00)The small number of newborn babies, which has been caused by high prices and the changing

46、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 major Asian cities like Seoul, Singapore, and Tokyo, the cost of a house is extremely high. A young couple wh

47、o 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 $ 900 a month Whats more. if they want to have a Child, the childs education is very expensive. For example, m

48、ost 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 they en joy their jobs. However, if they want to have, children, they immediately have serious problems. Thoug

49、h 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, both 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 situati
