8、r bigger airplanes to the worlds airlines. Now that talks on a joint project have broken down, Boeing is pushing a stretched (拓展的) version of 747, and Airbus is designing an all-new aircraft, known as the A3XX.Seating 550 passengers in the basic model, and 650 in a stretched version, the 1. 2 millio

9、n pound A3XX will not only be the largest airplane in the world, but it will also be one of the most advanceD. The outer wings and the horizontal stabilizer (as big as a smaller jets wing) will be made of carbon-fiber composite materials, and will be the largest? such structures on any aircraft exce

10、pt the B-2 stealth bomber (隐形轰炸机). Metal skins will be welded (焊接) together with lasers, removing thousands of fasteners.When a strong wind strikes the A3XXs 260-foot wing, movable control surfaces will prevent it from flexing (扭曲) like a giant spring. This will make the ride smoother and will save

11、weight by reducing the load on the wing spars (翼梁). A flexible-skinned flap (副翼) will subtly change the wings curvature (曲面) to match the airplanes changing weight as it burns fuel on each journey.The A3XX will carry up to 1,600 meals, filling more than 100 food and beverage (饮料) carts. To make more

12、 room for passengers, Airbus plans to put the carts in the lower hold; automatic conveyors and elevators will deliver them to the two passenger decks. Airlines have asked Airbus to look at extra features ranging from lower-deck sleeper cabins to a childrens playroom.Airbus expects to offer the A3XX

17、e,your work will be far more effective and productive.Anyone not interested,leave now.“The entire room sat still.2. Robinson calls himself the Mind Magician (魔术师).He specializes in doing magic tricks that look totally impossible,and then he reveals that they involve nothing more mysterious than good

18、 old-fashioned trickery (骗术).“I have always been interested in tricks involving memory-being able to reel off (一口气说出) the order of cards in a pack,that sort of thing,“he explains.3. Robinson was already lecturing to schools on his magic techniques when it struck him that students might find memory t

19、echniques even more valuable.“It wasnt difficult area to move inot,as the stuffs all there in books.“So he summarized everything to make a two-hour lecture about five techniques.4. “You want to learn a list of a hundred things?A thousand?No problem,“says Robinson.The scandal is that every child is n

20、ot taught the techniques from the beginning of their school life.The schoolchildren who were watching him thought it was brilliant.“I wish Id been told this earlier,“commented Mark,after Robinson had shown them how to construct“mental journeys“.5. Essentially,you visualize (想象) a walk down a street,

21、or a trip round a room,and pick the points where you will put the things you want to remember-the lamppost,the fruit bowl.Then in each location you put a visual representation of your list-phrasal verbs,historical dates,whatever-making them as strange as possible.It is that simple,and it works.6. Th

22、e reaction of schools has been uniformly enthusiastic.“The pupils benefited enormously from lans presentation,“says Dr Johnston,head of the school where Robinson was speaking.“ldeally we should run a regular class in memory techniques so pupils can pick it up gradually.“A. Good resultsB. An ancient

23、skillC. Gaining attentionD. Memory tricksE. A lecture on memory techniquesF.

25、re, Language and EqualityCulture is the sum total of all the traditions, customs, belief and ways of life of a given group of human beings. In this sense, every group has a culture, however savage, undeveloped, or uncivilized it may seem to us.To the professional anthropologist, there is no intrinsi

26、c superiority of one culture over another, just as to the professional linguist there is no intrinsic hierarchy among languages.People once thought of the languages of backward groups as savage, undeveloped form of speech, consisting largely of grunts and groans. While it is possible that language i

27、n general began as a series of grunts and groans, it is a fact established by the study of “backward” languages that no spoken tongue answers that description today. Most languages of uncivilized groups are, by our most severe standards, extremely complex, delicate, and ingenious pieces of machinery

28、 for the transfer of ideas. They fall behind the Western languages not in their sound patterns or grammatical structures, which usually are fully adequate for all language needs, but only in their vocabularies, which reflect the objects and activities known to their speakers. Even in this department

29、, however, two things are to be noted: 1. All languages seem to possess the machinery for vocabulary expansion, either by putting together words already in existence or by borrowing them from other languages and adapting them to their own system. 2. The objects and activities requiring names and dis

30、tinctions in “backward” languages, while different from ours, are often surprisingly numerous and complicated. A western language distinguishes merely between two degrees of remoteness (“this” and “that”); some languages of the American Indians distinguish between what is close to the speaker, or th

31、e person addressed, or remote from both, or out of sight, or in the past, or in the future.This study of language, in turn, casts a new light upon the claim of the anthropologists that all cultures are to viewed independently, and without ideas of rank or hierarchy.（分数：15.00）(1).The author uses “bac

32、kward” here to indicate that_.A. backward languages are connected with backward groupsB. backward languages are connected with backward culturesC. backward languages are moving forwardD. there is no such thing as backward languages（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The example of American Indian languages in the

33、passage is to illustrate that_.A. American Indian languages are not backwardB. “backward” languages are borrowing from other languagesC. “backward” languages may possess quite complicated vocabulariesD. Western languages may also borrow from “backward” languages（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).According to the

34、author, “backward” languages tend to expand in_.A. grammatical structuresB. vocabulariesC. complicationD. sound patterns（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Judging from the passage, the author might be_.A. an American IndianB. a CanadianC. an AfricanD. a Japanese（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The best title for this passage

35、 is_.A. Criticism of Language HierarchyB. Cultural Englitarian from the Perspectives of LanguageC. Expansion of “Backward” LanguageD. Criticism of Language Hierarchy（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.六、第二篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Crystal EarOne day a friend asked my wife Jill if I wanted a hearing aid. “He certainly does,“ re

36、plied Jill. After hearing about a remarkable new product, Jill finally got up the nerve to ask me if Id ever thought about getting a hearing aid. “No way,“ I said. “It would make me look 20 years older.“ “No, no,“ she replied. “This is entirely different. Its Crystal Ear!“Jill was right. Crystal Ear

37、 is different-not the old-styled body worn or over-the-ear aid, but an advanced personal sound system so small that its like contacts (隐形眼镜) for your ears. And Crystal Ear is super-sensitive and powerful, too. You will hear sounds your ears have been missing for years. Crystal Ear will make speech l

38、ouder, and the sound is pure and natural.I couldnt believe how tiny it is. It is smaller than the tip of my little finger and its almost invisible when worn. There are no wires, no behind-the-ear device. Put it in your ear and its ready-to-wear mold (形状) fits comfortably. Since its not too loud or t

39、oo tight, you may even forget that youre wearing it! Use it at work or at play. And if your hearing problem is worse in certain situations, use Crystal Ear only when you need it.Hearing loss, which occurs typically prior to teenage years, progresses throughout ones lifetime. Although hearing loss is

40、 now the worlds number one health problem, nearly 90 percent of people suffering hearing loss choose to leave the problem untreated. For many millions, treating hearing loss in a conventional way can involve numerous office visits, expensive testing and adjustments to fit your ear. Thanks to Crystal

41、 Ear, the “sound solution“ is now convenient. Almost 90 percent of people with mild hearing loss, and millions more with just a little hearing drop-off (下降), can be dramatically helped with Crystal Ear. Moreover, its superior design is energy-efficient, so batteries can last months. Crystal Ear is n

42、ow available to help these people treat their hearing loss with a small hearing amplifier (放大器).（分数：15.00）(1).Initially the writer did not want to buy a hearing aid becauseA. it would make him look old,B. it would make him nervous.C. it was too expensive.D. it was old-styled.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Whi

43、ch of the following is NOT true of Crystal Ear?A. It is highly sensitive.B. It is powerful.C. It is invisible.D. It is wireless.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).One special feature of Crystal Ear is thatA. you can control its volume.B. you neednt take it off every day.C. it is solar-powered.D. it saves power.（分

44、数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).According to the passage, hearing loss isA. only a minor health problem.B. the worlds most common health problem.C. merely a teenage disease.D. an incurable disease.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Many people leave their hearing problem untreated becauseA. it is not serious.B. Crystal Ear is

45、 not yet available.C. it is not easy to have it treated.D. they dont want to look old.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.七、第三篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Male and Female Pilots Cause Accidents DifferentlyMale pilots flying general aviation (private) aircraft in the United States are more likely to crash due to inattention or fla

46、wed decision-making. While female pilots are more likely to crash from mishandling the aircraft. These are the results of a study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health.The study identifies the differences between male and female pilots in terms of circumsta

47、nces of the crash and the type of pilots error involved. “Crashes of general aviation aircraft account for 85 percent of all aviation deaths in the United States. The crash rate for male pilots, as for motor vehicle drivers, exceeds that of crashes of female pilots,“ explains Susan P. Baker, MPH, pr

48、ofessor of health policy and management at the Bloomberg School of Public Health. “Because pilot youth and inexperience are established contributors to aviation crashes, we focused on only mature pilots, to determine the gender differences in the reasons for the crash.“The researchers extracted data

49、 for this study from a large research project on pilot aging and flight safety. The data were gathered from general aviation crashes of airplanes and heIicopters between 1983 and 1997, involving 144 female pilots and 267 male pilots aged 40-63. Female pilots were matched with male pilots in a 1:2 ratio, by age, classes of medical and pilot certificates, state or a
