11、tion Reading Co(总题数：0，分数：0.00)三、Part A(总题数：0，分数：0.00)四、Text 1(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Despite increased airport security since September 11th, 2001, the technology to scan both passengers and baggage for weapons and bombs remains largely unchanged. Travellers walk through metal detectors and carry-on bags pa
12、ss through x-ray machines that superimpose colour-coded highlights, but do little else. Checked-in luggage is screened by “computed tomography“, which peers inside a suitcase rather like a CAT scan of a brain. These systems can alert an operator to something suspicious, but they cannot tell what it
13、is.More sophisticated screening technologies are emerging, albeit slowly. There are three main approaches: enhanced x-rays to spot hidden objects, sensor technology to sniff dangerous chemicals, and radio frequencies that can identify liquids and solids. A number of manufacturers are using “reflecti
14、ve“ or “backscatter“ x-rays that can be calibrated to see objects through clothing. They can spot things that a metal detector may not, such as a ceramic knife or plastic explosives. But some people think they can reveal too much. In America, civil-liberties groups have stalled the introduction of s
15、uch equipment, arguing that it is too intrusive. To protect travellers modesty, filters have been created to blur genital areas.Machines that can detect minute traces of explosive are also being tested. Passengers walk through a machine that blows a burst of air, intended to dislodge molecules of su
16、bstances on a persons body and clothes. The air is sucked into a filter, which instantaneously analyses it to see whether it includes any suspect substances. The process can work for baggage as well. It is a vast improvement on todays method, whereby carry-on items are occasionally swabbed and scree
17、ned for traces of explosives. Because this is a manual operation, only a small share of bags are examined this way.The most radical of the new approaches uses “quadrupole resonance technology“. This involves bombarding an object with radio waves. By reading the returning signals, the machines can id
18、entify the molecular structure of the materials it contains. Since every compound-solid, liquid or gas-creates a unique frequency, it can be read like a fingerprint. The system can be used to look for drugs as well as explosives.For these technologies to make the jump from development labs and small
19、 trials to full deployment at airports they must be available at a price that airports are prepared to pay. They must also be easy to use, take up little space and provide quick results, says Chris Yates, a security expert with Janes Airport Review. Norman Shanks, an airport security expert, says ad
20、ding the new technologies costs around $ 100 000 per machine; he expects the systems to be rolled out commercially over the next 12 months. They might close off one route to destroying an airliner, but a cruel certainty is that terrorists will try to find others.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the relationshi

It is nothing for a big, strong scho
26、olboy to elbow an elderly woman aside in the dash for the last remaining seat on the tube or bus, much less stand up and offer his seat to her, as he ought. In fact, it is saddening to note that if a man does offer his seat to an older woman, it is nearly always a Continental man or one from the old
27、er generation.This question of giving up seats in public transport is much argued about by young men, who say that, since women have claimed equality, they no longer deserve to be treated with courtesy, and that those who go out to work should take their turn in the rat race like anyone else. Women
28、have never claimed to be physically as strong as men. Even if it is not agreed, however, that young men should stand up for younger women, the fact remains that courtesy should be shown to the old, the sick and the burdened.Conditions in travel are really very hard on everyone, we know, but hardship
29、 is surely no excuse. Sometimes one wonders what would have been the behavior of these stout young men in a packed refugee train or a train on its way to a prisoner-camp during the war. Would they have considered it only right and their proper due to keep the best places for themselves then?Older pe
30、ople, tired and irritable from a days work, are not angels, either-far from it. Many a brisk argument or an insulting quarrel breaks out as the weary queues push and shove each other to get on buses and tubes. One cannot commend this, of course, but one does feel there is just a little more excuse.I
31、f cities are to remain pleasant places to live in at all, however, it seems urgent, not only that communications in transport should be improved, but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and polite. All over cities, it seems that people are too tired and too rushed to b
32、e polite. Shop assistants wont bother to assist, taxi drivers shout at each other as they dash dangerously round corners, bus conductors pull the bell before their desperate passengers have had time to get on or off the bus, and so on and so on. It seems to us that it is up to the young and strong t

34、opinion concerning courteous manners toward women?A Men should give up their seats to young women.B Women neednt be treated differently from men.C “Lady First“ should be universally practiced.D Special consideration ought to be shown to them.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).According to the author, communicatio
35、n between human beings would be smoother ifA public transport could be improved.B people were not so tired and irritable.C women were treated with more courtesy.D people were considerate toward each other.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).What is the possible meaning of the word “deterioration“ in the last parag
36、raph?A Spreading of evil conduct.B Lowering of moral standards.C Worsening of general situation.D Declining of physical constitution.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).In the authors view, the best remedy for coping with the hard conditions in travel in cities would be toA attach significance to the moral educati
37、on of young people.B improve the means of transportation and the public morality.C treat people, be they young and old, with courtesy and sympathy.D demand that everyone avoid brisk arguments and insulting quarrels.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.六、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Few beyond California s technology crowd rec

40、nental Drift has had a long and turbulent history since it was first proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1910. (46) Vigorously challenged yet widely ignored, the theory had languished for half a century, primarily due to its lack of a plausible mechanism to support the proposed drift. With the discovery o
41、f sea-floor spreading in the late 1950s and early 60s, the idea was reinvigorated. Plate tectonics is now almost universally accepted. Many details of the mechanism are to be worked out.The surface of the Earth is divided into approximately six large plates, plus a number of smaller ones. The plates
42、 are bounded by an interconnected network of ridges, transform faults, and trenches. Ridges, also called spreading centers, occur where two plates are moving away from each Other. As the plates separate, hot molten mantle material flows up to fill the void. (47) The increased heat resulting from thi
43、s flow reduces the density of the plates, causing them to float higher, thus elevating the boundaries by many thousands of feet above the colder surrounding sea floor. (48) Ridges on the ocean floor form the longest continuous ranges of mountains on the planet, but. only in a very few places on the
44、Earth do these mountains rise above the ocean surface. New sea floor is constantly being created along spreading centers. Obviously somewhere else old sea floor must be going away. This occurs in trenches, also called subduction zones. Trenches occur along the boundary between two plates that are mo
45、ving towards each other. (49) Where this occurs, one plate is bent downwards at about a 400 angle and plunges under the other plates leading edge, eventually to melt back into the liquid mantle below. As the subducting plate is heated back up to mantle temperatures, certain minerals in the plate mel
46、t sooner than others. (50) Minerals that melt at lower temperatures and are lighter than the surrounding material tend to rise, melting their way up through the overriding plate to erupt as volcanoes on the ocean floor. As these volcanoes grow, they rise above the ocean surface to form lines of isla
47、nds along the leading edge of the overriding plate. Numerous islands of Micronesia and Melanesia in the western Pacific were created in this way.（分数：10.00）_十、Section Writing(总题数：0，分数：0.00)十一、Part A(总题数：1，分数：10.00)1.For this part, you are allowed fifteen minutes to write a letter.
