28、fatalities have numbered in the millions, and that earthquake-related .destruction has been beyond calculation. The greater part of such damage and loss of life has been due to collapse of buildings and the effects of rockslides, floods, fire, disease, tsunamis(gigantic sea waves), and other observa

29、ble events resulting from earthquakes, rather than from the quakes themselves.The great majority of all earthquakes occur in two specific geographic areas. One such area covers the Pacific Ocean and its bordering landmasses. The other extends from the East Indians to the Atlas Mountains, including t

30、he Himalayas, Iran, Turkey, and the Alpine regions. It is in these two great belts or zones that ninety percent of all earthquakes take place; they may, however, happen anywhere at any time.This element of the unknown has for centuries added greatly to the dread and horror surrounding earthquakes, b

31、ut in recent times there have been indications that earthquake forecast may be possible. By analyzing changes in animal behavior, patterns of movements in the earths shell, variations in the earths force of attraction, and the frequency with which minor earthshakes are observed, scientists have show

32、n increasing success in expecting when and where earthquakes will strike. As a resuit, a worldwide earthquake warning network is already in operation and has helped to prepare for (and thus lessen) the vast destruction that might otherwise have been totally unexpected.It is doubtful that man will ev

33、er be able to control earthquakes and get rid of their destructiveness altogether, but as how and why earthquakes happen become better understood, man will become more and more able to deal with their possible damage before they occur.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following statements is true according

34、 to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Earthquake destruction is declining.B.Man is capable of conquering earthquakes.C.Man is no longer fearful of earthquakes.D.Earthquake forecast is improving.(2).We can infer from the passage that quakes _.（分数：2.00）A.may happen anywhere at any timeB.are hardly the direct cau

35、se of fatalitiesC.are unobservable in masses of landD.mostly strike in oceans and mountains(3).The phrase“ this element of the unknown“ ( paragraph 3 ) refers to _.（分数：2.00）A.when and where earthquakes may occurB.the percentage of earthquake occurrencesC.the extension of earthquake zonesD.what big d

36、amage earthquakes may cause(4).Mans research on earthquake forecast at present is to _.（分数：2.00）A.release the energy that causes earthquakesB.lower the frequency of earthquakesC.reduce the loss from earthquake disastersD.analyze the relationship between different earthquakes(5).Which of the followin

37、g describes the authors purpose in writing the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Disprove a concept.B.Entertain the reader.C.Inform the reader.D.Question a concept.BText 2/BOver two hundred years ago, Adam Smith introduced some ideas which brought about a world revolution. If we enjoy a high standard of living in

38、modern society, we owe much to this Scottish economist and philosopher. If we enjoy driving in beautiful cars, wearing fashionable shoes, or flying away to distant places for exciting holidays, we should perhaps pay thanks to the man who made it all possible.What was Adam Smiths contribution? Like s

39、o many ideas which have surprising effects, his was a simple one. He watched workers practising their craft of pin making. One man would heat the strip of metal, stretch it out, cut off an appropriate length, shape it, cool it and finally smooth and shine it. Smith drew attention to the advantages w

40、hich could be gained if these various tasks were performed by different workers. Let one be responsible for preparing the metal. Another for stretching and cutting. Another for shaping. Another for finishing. He described the technique as the Division of Labour; in this way workers repeat the same a

41、ctions again and again. Smith convinced the world that specialisation could solve the problem of poverty and want.What was the result? The Industrial Revolution. Productivity was greatly increased. For Britain, where the revolution started, there was a prosperity which made it the richest country in

42、 the nineteenth century. British trains and railway lines spread out like a spiders web across the world. British ships were used to carry the new cargoes from one corner of the world to another.The revolution is not over. It is still with us, but now it is a worldwide phenomenon. Everywhere, factor

43、ies are producing large numbers of similar products, and are in continuous production. What were called mass production lines yesterday are called robotic productions today. The pace of change is increasing. And if these techniques have brought us prosperity, they have also brought use little misery

44、 in overcrowded towns, boring jobs and, most of all, unemployment.（分数：10.00）(1).We should be grateful to Adam Smith because _.（分数：2.00）A.he started the industrial revolutionB.he invented a more efficient way of pin makingC.his ideas made it possible for people to improve their livesD.he brought to p

45、eople a high standard of living(2).Which of the following is true according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Adam Smith put forward the idea of the Division of Labour.B.Specialisation could solve the problem of unemployment.C.The Division of Labour makes work more interesting.D.Adam Smith insisted that eac

46、h worker be better paid.(3).From the passage we know that the Industrial Revolution _.（分数：2.00）A.led to Adam Smiths idea of specialisationB.was finished in the nineteenth centuryC.also has its side-effects in societyD.put an end to poverty in the word(4).According to the passage, the Industrial Revo

47、lution is responsible for the following results except _.（分数：2.00）A.prosperityB.overcrowdednessC.unemploymentD.crime(5).What is the best title for this passage?（分数：2.00）A.The Causes of Industrial Revolution.B.The Industrial Revolution and Its Significance.C.The Theory of Division of Labour and Its S

48、ignificance.D.Adam Smith, the Economist and Philosopher.BText 3/BThere is one difference between the sexes on which virtually every expert and study agree: Men are more aggressive than women. It shows up in two-year-olds. It continues through school days and persists into adulthood. It is even constant across cultures. And there is little doubt that it is rooted in biology-in the male sex hormone testosterone.If theres a feminine trait thats the counterpart of male aggressiveness, its what social scientists awkwardly refer to as “nurturance“. Feminists have
