10、A.B.C.D.E.F.G.三、III(总题数：3，分数：30.00)Passage 1 Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage. Have you ever seen a movie in which a building was burned down or a bridge was destroyed? Have you seen films in which a train crashed or a ship sank into the ocean? If so, you may have wondered how thes

11、e things could happen without harming the people in the film. The man who knows the answer is the “special-effects” man. He has one of the most important jobs in the film industry. He may be ordered to create a flood or to make a battlefield explode. But he may also be asked to create a special effe

12、ct which is much less exciting, though just as important to the success of the film. In a scene for one movie, there was a big glass bowl filled water in which small fish were swimming. The director of the movie wanted the fish to stop swimming suddenly while they seemed to stare at an actor. Then t

13、he director wanted the fish to stop staring and swim away. But fish cannot be ordered to do anything. It was quite a problem. The special-effects man thought about this problem for a long time. The result was an idea for controlling the fish with a harmless use of electricity. First, he applied elec

14、tricity to the fish bowl, causing the fish to be absolutely still. Then he rapidly reduced the amount of electricity, allowing the fish to swim away. Thus, he got the humorous effect that the director wanted. As in other parts of movie making, there are those who have developed particular skill in c

15、reating certain kinds of effects. For fires, the special-effects man does not trust the normal burning process of wood or other materials. He does not have time to wait until large flames appear. Usually he places metal pipes in the area that is to be burned. Gas flowing through the pipes burns inst

16、antly but can be kept under control easily by opening or closing the pipes. All this requires training, skill, and experience. It also adds a great deal to the expense of producing the film. It helps explain why so many movies are very expensive to make. （分数：10.00）(1).All the following scenes are pr

17、obably the results of special effects in films except that_. （分数：2.00）A.a bridge was destroyedB.a building was burned downC.a person wondered how not to harm peopleD.a ship san into the ocean(2).The job of a special-effects man is_. （分数：2.00）A.most importantB.always excitingC.less importantD.very re

18、warding(3).The special-effects man used electricity tocontrol the fish in a bowl because_. （分数：2.00）A.the fish cannot swim and stop freelyB.the fish cannot stare at the actorC.the fish cannot stay stillD.the fish cannot be ordered to do anything(4).The special-effects man creates the effects of fire

19、 by_. （分数：2.00）A.burning wood or other materialB.burning metal pipesC.opening and closing gas pipesD.waiting for large flames(5).The passage is mainly about_. （分数：2.00）A.the importance of a special-effects manB.the way to make special effectsC.the expense of special effectsD.the needs of special eff

20、ectsPassage 2 Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage Before a new airliner goes into service, every part of it is tested again and again. But there are two tests that are more important than all the others. One of them is very strange and the other is very dangerous. The first of these i

21、s called the “tank test”. A modern airliner must fly at very high altitudes. Air must be pumped into the place so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the plane is filled with air, or “pressured”, the air presses against the sk

22、in of the plane inside. The pressure on a small window, for example, is like a huge foot that is trying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to crack, the plane would explode in the sky. This is what happened to the first Comets. In order to test the structure of the plane, it is lowered in

23、to a huge tank of water. Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is inthe air. Finally, there is an explosion. Engineers can discover which part of the plane has cracked. This part is made stronger. The most dangerous test happens when the ne

24、w plane is going through test flight in the air. The test pilot must find exactly what happens whenall the engines are shut off at once. He takes the plane up very high. Then he shuts the engines off,the plane begins to fall like a stone. It is the pilots job to find out how he can get control of th

25、e plane again. These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers. （分数：10.00）(1).The purpose of the “tank test” is to find out_. （分数：2.00）A.how much air passengers need to breathe at certain altitudes.B.how much air can be pumped into the plane.C.what would ha

26、ppen if the plane crashed in the water.D.if there are any weak parts in the plane that would burst under pressure(2).It can be inferred that during the test, _. （分数：2.00）A.water is pumped into the plane instead of airB.more air is pumped into the plane than usualC.water exerts great pressure on the

27、skin of the planeD.the weaker parts receive greater pressure(3).The test is carried out under water because_. （分数：2.00）A.the pressure under water is greater than in the airB.the first Comets exploded in the waterC.it will be easier for engineers to find out where the crack isD.it can protect the tes

28、ters from being injured(4).A test flight is dangerous because the test pilot has to_. （分数：2.00）A.fly his plane at a very high altitudeB.secure a safe landing in a plane crashC.find out how to handle a plane when its engines stop workingD.fix the damaged engines during the flight(5).The passage impli

29、es that modern airlines are _ （分数：2.00）A.reliableB.dangerousC.complicatedD.efficientPassage 3 Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage American this year will swallow 15,000 tons of aspirin, one of the safest and most effective drugs invented by man. The most popular medicine in the world

30、today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild, and it is cheap. For millions of people suffering from arthritis (关节炎), it is the only thing that works. Aspirin, in short, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. It is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leadi

31、ng cause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that although relatively mild are largely unrecognized among users. Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of the lea

32、ves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates, the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century, there was a great deal of experimentation inEurope with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 1915, aspirin tablets were available in the United States. A small qu

33、antity of aspirin (two five-grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation (发炎). It also reduces fever by interfering with some of the bodys reactions. Specifically, aspirin seems to slow down the formation of the acids involved in pain and the complex chemical reactions that cause fever. The chemist

34、ry of these acids is not fully understood, but the slowing effect of aspirin is well known. Aspirin is very irritating to the stomach lining, and many aspirin takers complain about upset stomach. There is a right way and a wrong way to takeaspirin. The best way is to chew the tablets before swallowi

35、ng them with water, but few people can stand the bitter taste. Some people suggest crushing the tablets in milk or orange juice and drinking that. （分数：10.00）(1).This passage discusses _. （分数：2.00）A.only the good things about aspirinB.only the bad things about aspirinC.both the good and bad things ab

36、out aspirinD.neither the good things nor the bad things about aspirin(2).The information in Para. 2 shows that _. （分数：2.00）A.aspirin can be dangerousB.aspirin is always safeC.aspirin has been around a long timeD.aspirin is very cheap(3).In Para. 3, the word “salicylates“ means “_“. （分数：2.00）A.leaves

37、 and tree barkB.the chemical in aspirinC.aspirin tabletsD.the name of a German company(4).The author of this article seems to be _. （分数：2.00）A.in favor of aspirinB.against the use of aspirinC.not interested in aspirinD.experienced in how to take aspirin(5).A good title for this passage would be _. （

38、分数：2.00）A.The Side Effects of AspirinB.Why I Take AspirinC.Aspirin: The Most Popular Medicine in the WorldD.The Commercial Value of Aspirin四、Section B（15 points）(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Questions 31-40 are based on the following passage The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. This may

39、 _31_strange to you, since nearly 70% of the earths surface is covered with water. But almost 97% of this huge amount is seawater. Man can only drink and use the other 3%-the _32_water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in th

40、e form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been _33_. At the moment, this small _34_ of fresh water is still enough for us. However, our demand for water is increasing rapidly. Only if we take steps to _35_ with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later o

41、n. In addition to _36_wasting our precious water one useful step we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and it _37_ returns to sea or runs into underground storage tanks. But it is possible to pipe water that has been used to a purifying（

42、净化）plant. There it can be filtered and _38_with chemicals so that it can be used again just as it were fresh from a spring. But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Where could we turn next? To the oceans! We can make _39_ of the vast amount of seaw

43、ater by _40_ the salt. This salt-removing process is already in use in many parts of the world. A. eventually B. deal C. use D. number E. prevent F. move G. dirty H. treated I. amount J. stopping K. fresh L. seem M. removing N. make O. polluted （分数：15.00）A.B.C.D.E.F.G.H.I.J.K.L.A.B.C.D.E.F.G.H.I.J.K

The Apple changed peoples idea of a computer _41_ a huge ma

45、ss of vacuum tubes only big business and the government could _42_ to a small box used by ordinary people. No company has done more to _43_ the computer and make it used friendly than Apple Computer Inc. Two years after building the Apple I, Steve Jobs _44_ the Apple II. The Apple II was the best bu

46、y in _45_ computers for home and small business _46_ the following five years. Steve Jobs was _47_ a brilliant young man in Silicon Valley, because he saw the future demands of the computer industry. “The personal computer was created by the hardware revolution of the 1970s and the next _48_ change

47、will come from a software revolution”, said Jobs. Job was an orphan _49_ by Paul and Clara Jobs in 1955. While still in high school, Jobs _50_ lectures at the Hewlett-Packard electronics firm. There he was _51_ as a summer employee and met another employee, Wozniak, who had a(n) _52_ for inventing e

With that capital base and credit begged from local electronics suppliers, they set up their first production line. Jobs _60_the name of their new company
