26、appear) , leaving not even a modem representative of their race. Others, no doubt, were known to prehistoric peoples, concerning which no record has come down to us. But within the period of rec (47) observation, many animals have lived and died out; various, causes contributing to their (48) ( exte

27、rminate), not least among these being in the presence of mankind. Man reconstructs the face of the earth to suit his needs; he cuts down f (49) , plows or burns over prairie lands, changes the course of rivers, drains the swamps, and thus destroys the natural en (50) of many of natures wild children

28、. Then, too, he destroys creature directly; he kills them for food, for clothing, or for other utilitarian (51) ; he hunts them because he fears them, as dangerous foes to himself, or to his agr (52) pursuits; he destroys them for sport; and finally he draws them from feral conditions by (53) (domes

29、tic). Not only thus does man directly injure by exterminating influences, (54) his coming accompanied by exterminating influences, kills out certain other creatures. These, when man has destroyed their natural prey, practically die of starvation before they can ad (55) themselves to changed conditio

31、ns. For two questions, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice. Then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre. For the other three questions, you should complete each sentence in a maximum of three words using i

32、nformation from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet. Glaciers consist of fallen snow that compresses over many years into large, thickened ice masses. Most of the worlds glacial ice is found in Antarctica and Greenland, but glaciers are found on nearly every continent, eve

33、n Africa. Presently, 10% of land area is covered with glaciers. Glacial ice often appears blue because ice absorbs all other colors but reflects blue. Almost 90% of an iceberg is below water; only about 10% shows above water. What makes glaciers unique is their ability to move. Due to sheer mass, gl

34、aciers flow like very slow rivers. Some glaciers are as small as football fields, whereas others grow to be over 100 kilometers long. Within the past 750,000 years, scientists know that there have been eight Ice Age cycles, separated by warmer periods called interglacial periods. Currently, the eart

35、h is the end of an interglacial, meaning that another Ice Age is due in a few thousand years. This is part of the normal climate variation cycle. Greenhouse warming may delay the onset of another glacial era, but scientists still have many questions to answer about climate change. Although glaciers

36、change very slowly over long periods, they may provide important global climate change signals. The girth of the ice, combined with gravitys influence, causes glaciers to flow very slowly. Once a mass of compressed ice reaches a critical thickness of about 18 meters thick, it becomes so heavy that i

37、t begins to deform and move. Ice may flow down mountains and valleys, fan across plains, or spread out to sea. Movement along the underside of a glacier is slower than movement at the top due to the friction created as it slides along the grounds surface. Most glaciers are found in remote mountainou

38、s areas. However, some found near cities or towns present a danger to the people living nearby. On land, lakes formed on top of a glacier, during the melt season may cause floods. At the narrow part of a valley glacier, ice falling from the glacier presents a hazard to hikers below. When ice breaks

39、off over the ocean, an iceberg is formed. Glaciers are a natural resource and contain 75% of the worlds freshwater. People world-wide are trying to harness the power of these frozen streams. Some towns rely on glacial melting from a nearby ice cap to provide drinking water. Some farmers spread soil

40、or ashes over snow to promote melting, hoping that the melting will provide water to irrigate crops in drought-stricken Areas. Others have channeled melt water from glaciers to their fields. Scientists and engineer shave worked together to tap into-glacial resources, using electricity that has been

41、generated in part by damming glacial melt water. （分数：5.00）(1).Why does glacial ice often appear blue to the eyes? （分数：1.00）A.Because the visible light striking the ice surface is reflected.B.Because it absorbs all the colours except blue, which is thrown back.C.Because it has the ability to move for

42、ward.D.Because only 10 percent of it shows above water.(2).What can be concluded about glaciers according to the passage? （分数：1.00）A.There wont be another Ice Age coming in the further.B.Glaciers have both negative and positive effects on human life.C.Scientists have difficulty studying global clima

You should answer each question in a maximum of ten words using information from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet. He was a funny l

45、ooking man with a cheerful face, good-na-tured and a great talker. He was described by his student, the great philosopher Plato, as “the Best, most just and wisest man. “ Yet, this same man was sentenced to death for his beliefs. The man was the Greek philosopher, Socrates, the most interesting and

46、influential thinker in the fifth century. His dedication to careful reasoning transformed the entire enterprise. Since he sought genuine knowledge rather than mere victory over an opponent, Socrates employed the same logical tricks developed by the Sophists to a new purpose, the pursuit of truth. Th

47、us, his willingness to call everything into question and his determination to accept nothing less than an adequate account of the nature of things made him the first clear exponent of critical philosophy. He was condemned for not believing in the recognized for corrupting young people. The second charge stemmed from his association with numerous young men who went to Athens from all over the civilized world to study under him. Socrates method of teaching was to ask questions and, by pretending not to kn
