8、kysrapers. One idea is a platform capable of flying vertically and hovering in the air like a helicopter. The platform would rise up and down alongside a skyscraper and pick up people trapped in high stories. The idea for the vertical takeoff platform was hatched more than ten years ago by a Russian

9、 aerospace engineer, David Metreveli, who has since moved to Israel. Metrevelis dedsign, called the Eagle, calls for two jet engines that turn four large horizontal propellers. The spinning of the propellers generates the necessary lift, or upward force, to raise the platform. The more power is supp

10、lied to the propellers, the higher the platform rises. Moving the platform sideways involves applying differing amounts of power to each propeller. Helicopters are now used in some cases to get people out of buming buildings, Escape baskets slung from them dangle beside the building for people to cl

11、imb into. Unfortunately, the baskets cannot reach every floor of a building because the ropes from which they hang become unstable beyond a certain length. So far, Metreveli has built a small-scale model of the Eagle to test his idea. In the wake of September 11, he has been able to secure enough fu

16、ible for a large number of deaths and a vast amount of destruction in various parts of the world. Most of these damaging earthquakes occur either in a narrow belt which surrounds the Pacific Ocean or in a line which extends from Burma to the Alps in Europe. Some of the destruction is directly caused

17、 by the quake itself. An example of this is the collapse of buildings as a result of the quake itself. Other damage results from landslides or major fires which are initiated by the quake. These are about a million quakes a year. Fortunately, however, not all of them are destructive. The intensity o

18、f an earthquake is measured on the Richter Scale, which goes from 0 upward. The highest scale recorded to date is 8.9. Major damage generally occurs from quakes ranging upward from 6.0. The actual cause of the quake itself is the breaking of rocks at or below the earths surface. This is produced by

19、pressure which scientists blieve may be due to a number of reasons, two of which are the expansion and contraction of the earths crust and continental drift. In order to limit the damage and to prevent some of the suffering resulting from earthquakes, scientists are working on ways to enable accurat

20、e prediction. Special instruments are used to help people record, for example, shaking of the earth. Scientists are trying to find methods that will enable them to indicate the exact time, location and size of an earthquake. Certain phenomena have been observed which are believed to be the signs of

21、imminent earthquakes. These include strange behaviors of some animals, the changes in the content of mineral water, etc. The magnetic properties of rocks may also display special pattern before earthquakes happen. 23 A. Earthquakes forecast B. Historical records of earthquakes C. Intensities of eart

24、3篇短文后有 5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题选 1个最佳选项。 31 A Thirsty World The world is not only hungry; it is also thirsty for water. This seems strange to you, since nearly 75% of the earths surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge amount is from sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the o

25、ther 3% the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of iceberg (冰山 ) and glaciers (冰串 ). Even worse, some of it has been polluted. At the moment, this small amount of fresh water is still enough

26、for us. However, our need for water is increasing rapidly. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry. In addition to stopping wasting our precious water, one

27、useful step we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field, but only on a small scale. Today, in most large cities tanks, water is used only once and it eventually returns to the sea or runs into underground storage tanks. But it is possible to pipe

28、 water that has been used to a purifying (净化 ) plant. There it can be filtered (过滤 ) and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again just as it were fresh from a spring. But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Where could we turn next? To t

29、he oceans! All wed have to do to make use of the vast amount of sea-water is remove the salt.

33、 Level People with less education suffer fewer stressful days, according to a report in the current issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior. However, the study also found that when less-educated people did suffer stress it was more severe and had a larger impact on their health. From this

34、, researchers have concluded that the day-to-day factors that cause stress are not random. Where you are in society determines the kinds of problems that you have each day, and how well you will cope with them. The research team interviewed a national sample of 1,031 adults daily for eight days abou

35、t their stress level and health.

37、 their health is much more devastating for the less advantaged.“ Grzywacz suggested follow-up research to determine why less-educated people report fewer days of stress when it is known their stress is more acute and chronic. “If something happens every day, maybe its not seen as a stressor“ Grzywac
