11、 Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, 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. 15 Earthquake is a shaking of the grou
12、nd caused by the sudden breaking and the shifting of large sections of the earths rocky outer shell. Earthquakes are among the most powerful events on earth, and their results can be terrifying. A severe earthquake may re-lease energy 10,000 times as great as that of the first atomic bomb. Rock move
13、ments dur-ing an earthquake can make rivers change their courses. Earthquakes can trigger landslides that cause great damage and loss of life. Large earthquakes beneath the ocean can create a series of huge, destructive waves called tsunamis that flood coasts for many miles. Earthquakes almost never
14、 kill people directly. Instead, many deaths and injuries in earthquakes result from falling objects and the collapse of buildings, bridges, and other structures. Fire resulting from broken gas or power lines is another major danger during a quake. Spills of hazardous chemicals are also a concern dur
15、ing an earthquake. The force of an earthquake depends on how much rock breaks and how far it shifts. Powerful earthquakes can shake firm ground violently for great distances. During minor earthquakes, the vibration may be no greater than the vibration caused by a passing truck. On average, a powerfu
16、l earthquake occurs less than once every two years. At least 40 moderate earthquakes cause damage somewhere in the world each year. About 40,000 to 50,000 small earthquakes-large enough to be felt but not damaging-occur annually. 16 The passage is mainly about _. （ A） earthquakes and their effects （
17、 B） the way of earthquakes taking place （ C） the classification of earthquakes （ D） the damaging results of earthquakes 17 When an earthquake occurs, _. （ A） people are killed and injured （ B） rocks are breaking and shifting （ C） destructive waves flood the coasts for miles （ D） large sections of th
18、e earths rocky outer shell suddenly break and shift 18 The earthquakes which may not be so destructive are_. （ A） those beneath the ocean （ B） those do not kill people directly （ C） moderate earthquakes （ D） minor earthquakes 19 The intensity of an earthquake depends on _. （ A） the movements of the
19、earths shell （ B） where it takes place （ C） the injuries it causes （ D） how far away it is from a city 20 It is implied that _. （ A） powerful earthquakes usually occur after minor ones （ B） modern facilities add to the danger of an earthquake （ C） passing trucks are as dangerous as minor earthquakes
20、 （ D） there is a powerful earthquake occurring every two years 20 Human needs seem endless. When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat, when a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view. The many needs of mankind might be regarded as making
21、 up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears. The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War II, these needs wer
22、e satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses. By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs had fairly well been satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared: the “life-enriching“ level. While the
23、 other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the feed in comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It ineludes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury“ items. Among them are vacation trip
24、s, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing. On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as
25、their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level? A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime
26、, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels. 21 According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as ho
27、using and clothing only when_. （ A） he has saved up enough money （ B） he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter （ C） he has satisfied his hunger （ D） he has learned to build houses 22 It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War II, most Americans_. （ A） were very rich （
28、B） lived in poverty （ C） had the good things on the first three levels （ D） did not own automobiles 23 Which of the following is NOT related to “physical satisfaction“? （ A） A successful career. （ B） A comfortable home. （ C） A good meal. （ D） A family ear. 24 What is the main concern of man on the f
29、ourth level? （ A） The more goods the better. （ B） The more mental satisfaction the better. （ C） The more “luxury“ items the better. （ D） The more earnings the better. 25 The author tends to think that the fifth level_. （ A） would be little better than the fourth level （ B） may be a lot more desirabl
30、e than the first four （ C） can be the last and most satisfying level （ D） will become attainable before the government takes actions 25 The fourth-graders at Chicagos McCormick Elementary School dont know Chinese is supposed to be hard to learn. For most, who speak Spanish at home, its becoming thei
31、r third language. Theyve been hearing and using Chinese words since nursery, and its natural to give a “ni hao” when strangers enter the classroom, “its really fun!” says Miranda Lucas, taking a break from a lesson that includes a Chinese interview With Jackie Chan. “Im teaching my mom to speak Chin
32、ese.” The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual, but it may soon be a common phenomenon in American Schools, Where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot new language. Government officials have long wanted more focus on useful languages 1ike Chinese, and pressure from them-as well as from business le
33、aders, politicians, and parents-has produced a quick growth in the number of programs. Chicago city officials make their best effort to include Chinese in their public Schools. Their program has grown to include 3, 000 students in 20 schools, with more Schools on a waiting list. Programs have also s
34、pread to places like Los Angeles, New York City, and North Carolina Supporters see knowledge of the Chinese language and culture as an advantage in a global economy where China is growing in importance. “This is an interesting way to begin to engage with the worlds next superpower,” says Michael Lev
35、ine, director of education at the Asia Society, which has started have new public high schools that offer Chinese. “Globalization has already changed the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to think about their careers. The question is when, not whether, the schools are going to ad
36、just.” (80)The number of students learning Chinese is tiny compared With how many study Spanish or French. But one report shows that before-college enrollment (报名人数 ) nearly quadrupled between 1992 and 2002, from 6, 000 to 24, 000 Despite the demand, though, developing programs isnt easy. And the NO
37、.one difficulty, everyone agrees, is having enough teachers. Finding teacher “is the challenge,” says Scott McGinnis, an academic adviser for a language institute and a Chinese teacher for 15 years at the college level “Materials are easy in comparison. Or getting schools funded.” 26 The best the fo
