Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B)

19、, C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One 30 Telephone, television radio, and telegraph all help people communicate with each other. Because of these devices, ideas and news of events spr

20、ead quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of an election in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set. News of a disaster such as an earthquake or flood can bring help from distant countries.

21、 Within hours, help is on the way. Because of modern technology like the satellites that travel around the world, information travels fast. How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course this does not mean that the world is actually phy

22、sically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the oceans. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe

23、to reach Americas. This time difference influenced peoples actions For example, one battle, in the War of 1812 between England and the United States could have bt en avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America.

24、During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed. They would not have died if news had come in time. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now. 31 News spreads fast because of_. （ A

25、） a peace agreement （ B） new technology （ C） the changes of the world （ D） modern transportation 32 According to this passage,_is very important to people in a disaster area. （ A） latest news （ B） new ideas （ C） fast communication （ D） modern technology 33 What can be inferred from the second paragr

26、aph? （ A） The world is changing in size. （ B） The world now seems smaller because of faster communication. （ C） The world is actually smaller today. （ D） The distance between England and America has changed since the War of 1812. 34 Two hundred years ago, news between the continents was carried_. （

27、A） by air （ B） by sea （ C） by land （ D） by telephone and telegraph 35 The New Orleans Battle could have been avoided if the peace agreement had been signed_. （ A） in America （ B） in England （ C） by both sides （ D） in time Passage Two 35 A group of scientists known for their skepticism about climate

28、change has reanalysed two centuries worth of global temperature records. Their study largely confirms previous ones: it finds strong evidence that Earth is getting hotter. “The valid issues raised by climate skeptics, when addressed fully and in detail, do not significantly change the answer,“ says

29、lead author Richard Muller of the University of California, Berkeley. In a testimony(证据 )to the US Congress earlier this year, Muller questioned whether global temperature records showed a significant warming during the 20th century. His project, the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature(BEST), has now

30、 pulled together global temperature data going back to 1800 from 15 sources, including datasets held by the World Meteorological Organization and US and UK government agencies. BEST concludes that land temperatures have risen by 1C since the 1950s. This is largely in line with the three existing glo

31、bal temperature records: GISTEMP, maintained by NASA, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations GHCN and HadCRU, kept by the UK Met Office. The 1C of warming reflects warming above land masses only, so is not yet a truly global estimate. In a series of papers that have not yet been est

32、imated but are available on the BEST website, the researchers examine how reliable the temperature data is. Contrary to earlier studies that are often quoted by climate skeptics, the BEST researchers find that including data from weather stations in cities which are warmer than rural areas makes lit

33、tle difference to the overall trend. “Urban warming doesnt unduly(过分地 )bias estimates of recent global temperature change,“ they say. Blogger Anthony Watts of Watts Up With That has repeatedly claimed that temperature data is unreliable because weather stations are poorly placed for instance, next t

34、o air-conditioning vents or other heat sources. However, BEST found no statistically significant difference in the trends seen at well-placed and poorly placed stations. 36 What do some skeptical scientists find? （ A） The climate has changed. （ B） The ocean temperatures have risen by 1C . （ C） The E

35、arth is getting hotter. （ D） The reliable temperature data is available. 37 Which data is included in Richard Mullers research project? （ A） Data from the University of California. （ B） Global temperature data dated back to 1800 from 15 sources. （ C） Global temperature data recorded by NASA. （ D） Da

36、ta from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. 38 Why is BESTs estimate not truly global? （ A） It only reflects the warming above land masses. （ B） It uses the temperature records kept by NASA. （ C） It is held by the World Meteorological Organization. （ D） It is not estimated by res

37、earchers. 39 Which is the contrary finding of the BEST researchers? （ A） Cities are warmer than rural areas and cities temperatures are more accurate. （ B） Earlier studies are not reliable since researchers didnt have advanced equipment. （ C） Including data from weather stations in cities makes litt

38、le difference to the overall trend. （ D） Rural areas make different data in the study because rural areas are warmer than cities. 40 According to Blogger Anthony Watts, why is temperature data unreliable? （ A） The data is from air-conditioning vents. （ B） Cities have little difference with rural are

39、as. （ C） Weather stations are all in cities. （ D） The weather stations are improperly placed. Passage Three 40 Many of the employees think their career path begins during their employment or when they get a job. But basically, if we look at what becomes of a person, you can root it from the upbringi

40、ng(培养 )of the person, to be more specific, from childhood. As parents, we usuallv groom(规划 )our childrens future according to what we are or what we wanted to be. We buy them toys and educational materials according to what we dream our children would become someday For example, we know that becomin

41、g a teacher means a lot of sacrifices and lot of time worked but the pas is not satisfying. Thus, if we see this profession not favorable financially, we discourage our children to become teachers. However, the earliest exposure of children is usually in the medical field profession(every time they

42、visit the hospital for consuitation or any medical requirements)and the education or teaching profession(by the time they start attending classes). Information other than the two profession mentioned came from the parents and later exposure or experiences when they grew up. The parents role plays a

43、major part for the individuals success. The best approach is to support the childrens interest and not forcing them to take courses that the parents wanted for themselves. Support can be provided by helping them read materials on their field of interest, exposing them to the career and providing inf

44、ormation as to the advantages and sacrifices that one may take to accomplish their chosen field. The Internet and the publications are now very affordable and even the media provides the information for the different careers that our children may take. There are shows and programs that can provide a

45、 picture of the different field. But before you go to your television and change the channel of what your children is watching: check first if the program is fit for their age and maturity. 41 According to the author, peoples career path begins with_. （ A） their experience from their employment （ B）
