21、f all sciences to the study of the sea“. Before the nineteen century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some 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,

22、 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 alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that question “What is at the bottom of the oceans?“ had to be answered with a

23、ny commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth profile of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.It was to Maury of the U.S. Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in

24、 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography o

25、f 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 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 t

26、he deeper parts of the sea.Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition, which lasted for four years 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

27、last volume being published in 1895.（分数：5.00）(1).The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanographic studies take on _ .（分数：1.00）A.an academic aspectB.a military aspectC.a business aspectD.an international aspect(2).It was _ that asked Maury for help in oceanographic stud

28、ies.（分数：1.00）A.the American NavyB.some early intercontinental travelersC.those who earned a living from the seaD.the company which proposed to lay an undersea cable(3).The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the 1840s was _ .（分数：1.00）A.to make some sounding experiments in the oceansB.to

29、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).“Defied“ in the 4th paragraph probably means “ _ “.（分数：1.00）A.doubtB.gave proof toC.contradictD.agreed to(5).This passage is mainly about _ .（分数：1.00）A.the beginning

30、s of oceanographyB.the laying of the first undersea cableC.the investigation of ocean depthsD.the early intercontinental communicationsBPassage Two/BHenry Ford, the famous U.S. inventor and car manufacturer, once said, “The business of America is business.“ By this he meant that the U.S. way of life

31、 is based on the values of the business world.Few would argue with Fords statement. A brief glimpse at a daffy newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business. For example, nearly every newspaper has a business section, in which the deals and projects, finances and

32、management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily. In addition, business news can appear in every other section. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it. Welfare, foreign aid, the federal budget, and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all hea

33、vily affected by business. Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as “the entertainment industry“ or “show business“.The positive side of Henry Fords statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought

34、 to U.S. life. One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job. Jobs are produced in abundance because the U.S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system creates more wealth, more

35、jobs, and a materially better way of life.The negative side of Henry Fords statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business. And the term big businessreferring to the biggest companiesis seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had

36、to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the fight to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. Downsizingthe driving away of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits highcreatesfeelings of insecurity for

37、 many.（分数：5.00）(1).The United States is a country _ .（分数：1.00）A.which encourages free trade at home and abroadB.where peoples chief concern is how to make moneyC.where all businesses are managed scientificallyD.which normally works according to the federal budget(2).The influence of business in the

38、U.S. is evidenced by the fact that _ .（分数：1.00）A.most newspapers are run by big businessesB.even public organizations concentrate on working for profitsC.Americans of all professions know how to do businessD.even arts and entertainment are regarded as business(3).According to the passage, immigrants

39、 choose to settle in the U.S., dreaming that _ .（分数：1.00）A.they can start profitable businesses thereB.they can be more competitive in businessC.they will make a fortune overnight thereD.they will find better chances of employment(4).Henry Fords statement can be taken negatively because _ .（分数：1.00）

40、A.working people are discouraged to fight for their fightsB.there are many industries controlled by a few big capitalistsC.there is a conflicting relationship between big companies and laborD.public services are not run by the federal government(5).A companys efforts to keep expenses low and profits

41、 high may result in _ .（分数：1.00）A.reduction in the number of employeesB.improvement of working conditionsC.fewer disputes between labor and managementD.a rise in workers wagesBPassage Three/BWe find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their know

42、ledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming (把按能力分班) pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging

43、 to be at the bottom of the top grade!Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their 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 valu

44、e personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills

45、. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to 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

46、and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter

47、 what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.（分数：5.00）(1).In the passage the authors attitude towards “mixed-ability teaching“ is _ .（分数：1.00）A.criticalB.questioningC.approvingD.objective(2).By “held back“ (L

48、ine 1) the author means “ _ “.（分数：1.00）A.made to remain in the same classesB.forced to study in the lower classesC.drawn to their studiesD.prevented from advancing(3).The author argues that a teachers chief concern should be the development of the students _ .（分数：1.00）A.personal qualities and social

49、 skillsB.total personalityC.learning ability and communicative skillsD.intellectual ability(4).Which of the following is NOT MENTIONED. in the third paragraph?（分数：1.00）A.Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with other.B.Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning abilities.C.Group work provides pupils with the opportunity to
