Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D._The coast

15、of the state of Maine is one of the most irregular in the world. A straight line running from the southernmost coastal city to the northernmost coastal city would measure about 225 miles. If you followed the coastline between these points, you would travel more than ten times as far. This irregulari

16、ty is the result of what is called a drowned coastline. The term comes from the glacial activity of the ice age. At that time, the whole area that is now Maine was part of a mountain range that towered above the sea. As the glacier descended, however, it expended enormous force on those mountains, a

17、nd they sank into the sea. As the mountains sank, ocean water charged over the lowest parts of the remaining land, forming a series of twisting inlets and lagoons of contorted grottos and nooks. The highest parts of the former mountain range, nearest the shore, remained as islands. Mt. Desert Island

18、 is one of the most famous of all the islands left behind by the glacier. Marine fossils found here were 225 feet above sea level, indicating the level of the shoreline prior to the glacier. The 2,500-mile-long rocky and jagged coastline of Maine keeps watch over nearly two thousand islands. Many of

19、 these islands are tiny and uninhabited, but many are home to thriving communities. Mt. Desert Island is one of the largest, most beautiful of the Maine coast islands. Measuring 16 miles by 12 miles, Mt. Desert was essentially formed as two distinct islands. It is split almost in half by Somes Sound

20、, a deep and narrow stretch of water, seven miles long. For years, Mt. Desert Island, particularly its major settlement, Bar Harbor, afforded summer homes for the wealthy. Recendy though, Bar Harbor has become a burgeoning arts community as well. But, the best part of the island is the unspoiled for

21、est land known as Acadia National Park. Because the island sits on the boundary line between the temperate and sub-Arctic zones, the island supports the flora and fauna of both zones as well as beach, inland, and alpine plants. It also lies in a major bird migration lane and is a resting spot for ma

22、ny birds. The establishment of Acadia National Park in 1916 means that this natural reserve will be perpetually available to all people, not just the wealthy. Visitors to Acadia may receive nature instruction from the park naturalists as well as enjoy camping, hiking, cycling , and boating. Or they

23、may choose to spend time at the archeological museum, learning about the Stone Age inhabitants of the island. The best view on Mt. Desert Island is from the top of Cadillac Mountain. This mountain rises 1,532 feet, making it the highest mountain on the Adantic seaboard. From the summit, you can gaze

24、 back toward the mainland or out over the Atlantic Ocean and contemplate the beauty created by a retreating glacier.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following lists of topics best outlines the information in the selection?（分数：2.00）A.Ice-age glacial activity The Islands of Casco Bay Formation of Cadillac M

31、erse animal and plant life.The lives of the Ancient Greeks revolved around eris, a concept by which they defined the universe. They believed that the world existed in a condition of opposites. If there was good, then there was evil, if there was love, then there was hatred; joy, then sorrow; war the

32、n peace; and so on. The Greeks believed that good eris occured when one held a balanced outlook on life and coped with problems as they arose. It was a kind of ease of living that came from trying to bring together the great opposing forces in nature. Bad eris was evident in the violent conditions t

33、hat ruled mens lives. Although these things were found in nature and sometimes could not be controlled, it was believed that bad eris occurred when one ignored a problem, letting it grow larger until it destroyed not only that person, but his family as well. The Ancient Greeks saw eris as a goddess:

34、 Eris, the Goddess of Discord, better known as Trouble. One myth that expresses this concept of bad eris deals with the marriage of King Peleus and the river goddess Thetis. Zeus, the supreme ruler, learns that Thetis would bear a child strong enough to destroy its father. Not wanting to father his

35、own ruin, Zeus convinces Thetis to marry a human, a mortal whose child could never challenge the gods. He promises her, among other things, the greatest wedding in all of Heaven and Earth and allows the couple to invite whomever they please. This is one of the first mixed marriages of Greek Mytholog

36、y and the lesson learned from it still applies today. They do invite everyone. . . except Eris, the Goddess of Discord. In other words, instead of facing the problems brought on by a mixed marriage, they turn their backs on them. They refused to deal directly with their problems and the result is tr

37、agic. In her fury, Eris arrives, ruins the wedding, causes a jealous feud between the three major goddesses over a golden apple, and sets in place the conditions that lead to the Trojan War. The war would take place 20 years in the future, but it would result in the death of the only child of the br

38、ide and groom, Achilles. Eris would destroy the parents hopes for their future, leaving the couple with no legitimate heirs to the throne. Hence, when we are told,“ If you dont invite trouble, trouble comes,“ it means that if we dont deal with our problems, our problems will deal with us. . . with a

39、 vengeance! It is easy to see why the Greeks considered many of their myths learning myths, for this one teaches us the best way to defeat that which can destroy us.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, the ancient Greeks believed that the concept of eris defined the universe_.（分数：2.00）A.as a host

40、ile, violent placeB.as a condition of oppositesC.as a series of problemsD.as a mixture of gods and man(2).Most specifically, bad eris is defined in the passage as_.（分数：2.00）A.the violent conditions of lifeB.the problems man encountersC.the evil goddess who has a golden appleD.the murderer of generat

41、ions(3).It can be inferred that Zeus married Thetis off because_.（分数：2.00）A.he needed to buy the loyalty of a great king of mankindB.he feared the gods would create bad eris by competing over herC.he feared the Trojan War would be fought over herD.he feared having an affair with her and, subsequentl

42、y, a child by her(4).It can also be inferred that Zeus did not fear a child sired by King Peleus because_.（分数：2.00）A.he knew that the child could not climb Mt. OlympusB.he knew that the child would be killed in the Trojan WarC.he knew that no matter how strong a mortal child was, he couldnt overthro

43、w an immortal godD.he knew that Thetis would always love him above everyone else(5).According to the passage, Achilles_.（分数：2.00）A.defeated Zeus during the Trojan WarB.dies during the Trojan WarC.was born 20 years after the war because of the disruption Eris caused at the weddingD.was the illegitima

44、te son of PeleusThe immune system is equal in complexity to the combined intricacies of the brain and nervous system. The success of the immune system in defending the body relies on a dynamic regulatory communications network consisting of millions and millions of cells. Organized into sets and sub

45、sets, these cells pass information back and forth like clouds of bees swarming around a hive. The result is a sensitive system of checks and balances that produces an immune response that is prompt, appropriate, effective, and self-limiting. At the heart of the immune system is the ability to distin

46、guish between self and non-self. When immune defenders encounter cells or organisms carrying foreign or non-self molecules, the immune troops move quickly to eliminate the intruders. Virtually every body cell carries distinctive molecules that identify it as self. The bodys immune defenses do not no

47、rmally attack tissues that carry a self-marker. Rather, immune cells and other body cells coexist peaceably in a state known as self-tolerance. When a normally functioning immune system attacks a non-self molecule, the system has the ability to remember the specifics of the foreign body. Upon subseq

48、uent encounters with the same species of molecules, the immune system reacts accordingly. With the possible exception of antibodies passed during lactation, this so-called immune system memory is not inherited. Despite the occurrence of a virus in your family, your immune system must learn from experience with the many millions of distinctive non-self molecules in the sea of microbes in which we live. Learning entails producing the appropriate molecules and cells to ma
