For each question, there are four cho

25、ices 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. People in the United States in the nineteenth century were haunted by the prospect that unprecedented change in the nations economy would bri

26、ng social chaos. In the years following 1820, after several decades of relative stability, the economy entered a period of sustained and extremely rapid growth that continued to the end of the nineteenth century. Accompanying that growth was a structural change that featured increasing economic dive

27、rsification and a gradual shift in the nations labor force from agriculture to manufacturing and other nonagricultural pursuits. Although the birth rate continues to decline from its high level of the eighteenth and early nineteenth century, the population roughly doubled every generation during the

28、 rest of the nineteenth century. As the population grew, its makeup also changed. Massive waves of immigration brought new ethnic groups into the country. Geographic and social mobilitydownward as well as upwardtouched almost everyone. Local studies indicate that nearly three quarters of the populat

29、ionin the North and South, in the emerging cities of the Northeast, and in the restless rural counties of the Westchanged their residence each decade. As a consequence, historian David Donald has written. “Social atomization affected every segment of society.“ and it seemed to many people that “all

30、the recognized values of orderly civilization were gradually being eroded. “ Rapid industrialization and increased geographic mobility in the nineteenth century had special implications for women because these changes tended to magnify social distinctions. As the roles men and women played in societ

31、y became more rigidly defined, so did the roles they played in the home. In the context of extreme competitiveness and dizzying social change, the household lost many of its earlier functions and the home came to serve as a haven of tranquility and order. As the size of families decreased, the roles

32、 of husband and wife became more clearly differentiated than ever before. In the middle class especially, men participated in the productive economy while women ruled the home and served as the custodians of civility and culture. The intimacy of marriage that was common in earlier periods was rent,

33、and a gulf that at times seemed unbridgeable was created between husbands and wives. Questions: （分数：5.00）(1).What does the passage mainly discuss?（分数：1.00）A.The economic development of the United States in the nineteenth century.B.Ways in which economic development led to social changes in the Unite

35、.C.They tended to change the place where they lived.D.They had a higher birthrate than ever before.(3).Which of the following best describes the society about which David Donald wrote?（分数：1.00）A.A highly conservative society that was resistant to new ideas.B.A society that was undergoing fundamental

36、 changes.C.A society that had been gradually changing since the early 1700s.D.A nomadic society that was starting permanent settlements.(4).According to the passage. how was the economy of the United States between 1820 and 1900?（分数：1.00）A.It was expanding.B.It was in sharp decline.C.It was stagnant

37、.D.It was disorganized.(5).According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?（分数：1.00）A.Because of social atomization, all the recognized values were infected.B.More and more laborers went to work in nonagricultural fields.C.There was more intimacy of marriage than in earlier periods.D.Th

38、e birth rate was lower during the rest of nineteenth century.BSection B/BIn this section, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary below by choosing no more than three words from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet. Co

39、llision between an aircraft and one or more birds is termed a bird-strike. Pilots sometimes record a birdstrike while at cruising altitudes, but most of them happen when an aircraft is relatively close to the ground, usually in proximity to an airport and during the circling, descent to land or take

40、-off phases of a flight. Birdstrikes may cause significant damage to an aircraft and/or, if the birds are ingested into a jet engine, a significant and sudden loss of power. If this were to happen during take-off or initial climb of a fully loaded passenger aircraft the results could be catastrophic

41、loss of the aircraft and the lives of those on board. Any bird is a potential hazard to aircraft and this is especially true as bird numbers and bird size increase. Unfortunately airports themselves can be attractive to birdsrodents, insects and other small animals are a food source often found in f

42、lat grassed areas such as the runway strips. Even so, this problem can be reduced by careful habitat management or bird harassment techniques practised by airport maintenance and safety personnel. Further problems may arise because the airport is located on bird migration routes. These may have exis

43、ted prior to the airport site selectionbut may not have been taken into account because the problem was not understood at the timeor have only been recently established because the birds have found an attractive new food source. Care needs to be taken by local authorities in deciding the location of

44、 rubbish tips, or when permitting other land uses that may be attractive to birds in this way. Of course these effects cannot always be anticipated with certainty since birds such as gulls have been recorded as travelling 50 kilometres or more from their roosting area to an attractive food source. A

45、gricultural uses may be thought desirable because they are compatible with high levels of noise exposure, but they can have an adverse effect on air-craft operations if birds are attracted during seeding or crop cultivation. Birds may also be attracted to pig farms where garbage is used as fodder. E

46、ven tree plantings can present a hazard if the species provides an attractive food source or nesting habitat. Local authority planning schemes often apply strict controls on developments such as abattoirs, cattle feed lots, grain handling, piggeries, canals and marina developments, fish farms, and s

47、uchlike. In most cases these uses will not be permitted without a full environmental study. That study should be required to deal with the question of likely bird hazards if the proposed location is in proximity to an airport. In some instances it may be necessary to consider ways of managing a part

48、icular land use in order to reduce its attractiveness to birds, for example the adoption of land-fill measures at garbage tips, or enclosed rather than open-air activity. Specialist ornithological opinion may be necessary. In such cases it may not be possible to implement immediate changes in land use, but this should not inhibit the adoption of long-term measures which are designed to achieve this. SUMMARY
