27、ng three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 Kite flying is the sport of sending up into the air, by means of the wind, a light frame covered with paper, plastic or cloth. The frame can be one of many different shapes and is atta
28、ched to a long string held in the hand or wound on a drum. Kites have a long history of practical application and many different types of kite have been developed to serve various purposes. The ancient Chinese used bird-kites to carry ropes across rivers and valleys. The current folding kite which w
29、ill dive excitingly is an improved type of such a kite. With its long flat body and single pair of birdlike wings, it looks just like a large bird in the air. The modem version is usually made of tissue-paper rather than the traditional silk. Man-lifting kites were developed in ancient times, again
30、by the Chinese, for getting information from walled cities and army camps In fact, as recently as World War , German U-boats flew kites from their towers to lift people into the air to watch the land. These kites, which are no longer in existence, were made of light-weight cloth. They were much larg
31、er and stronger than the Chinese ones. Their design, however, was simply that of the cutter kite. Smaller in size, this type of kite is still very popular as a toy for children, being easy to make with a diamond-shaped frame, no wings and brown-Raper covering. Box-kites are another type of kite foun
32、d in toy shops today. The first box-kite, named for its box-like body, was developed in the nineteenth century to test theories of flight and this type of cotton-covered kite greatly assisted the success of early aeroplanes. These kites are the ancestors of a heavier version of the box-kite, called
33、the double box-kite, which consists of two main sections, placed side by side. Developed for the peacetime purpose of fishing in strong sea wind, it is the only modern kite described which has practical value. A long-lasting plastic material has to be used for this kite, which carries fishing lines.
34、 46 The ancient Chinese bird-kites were usually made of light frames covered with _. （ A） silk （ B） paper （ C） cloth （ D） plastic 47 The kites used by German U-boats in World War for the military purpose were made of _. （ A） brown paper （ B） plastic material （ C） light-weight cloth （ D） traditional
35、silk 48 Which kind of kite was ever used to test theories of flight? （ A） Man-lifting kite. （ B） Box-kite. （ C） Chinese kite. （ D） German kite. 49 Which of the following statements is NOT true? （ A） The frame of a kite is attached to a long string held in the hand or wound on a drum. （ B） The ancest
36、or of the double box-kite is the box-kite. （ C） The cutter kite has a diamond-shaped body but no wings. （ D） The man-lifting kites were developed by German. 50 The best title for this passage may be _. （ A） The Ancestors of Modem Kites （ B） The History of the Chinese Kites （ C） Different Types and U
37、ses of Kites （ D） The Differences between Ancient and Modem Kites 50 When a 13-year-old Virginia girl started sneezing, her parents thought it was merely a cold. But when the sneezes continued for hours, they called in a doctor. Nearly two months later the girl was still sneezing, thousands of times
38、 a day, and her case had attracted world-wide attention. Hundreds of suggestions, ranging from “put a clothes pin on her nose“ to “have her stand on her head“ poured in. But nothing did any good. Finally, she was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital where Dr Leo Kanner, one of the worlds top authorities
39、on sneezing, solved the baffling problem with great speed. He used neither drugs nor surgery for, curiously enough, the clue for the treatment was found in an ancient superstition about the amazing bodily reaction we call the sneeze. It was all in her mind, be said, a view which Aristotle, some 3 00
40、0 years earlier, would have agreed with heartily. Dr Kanner simply gave a modern psychological interpretation to the ancient belief that too much sneezing was an indication that the spirit was troubled; and he began to treat the girl accordingly. “Less than two days in a hospital room, a plan for be
41、tter scholastic and vocational adjustment, and reassurance about her unreasonable fear of tuberculosis quickly changed her from a sneezer to an ex-sneezer,“ he reported. Sneezing has always been a subject of wonder, awe and puzzlement. Dr Kanner has collected thousands of superstitions concerning it
42、. The most universal one is the custom of begging for the blessing of God when a person sneezes - a practice Dr Kanner traces back to the ancient belief that a sneeze was an indication that the sneezer was possessed of an evil spirit. Strangely, people all over the world still continue the custom wi
43、th the traditional “God bless you“ or its equivalent. When scientists look at the sneeze, they see a remarkable mechanism which, without any conscious help from you, takes on a job that has to be done. When you need to sneeze you sneeze, this being natures clever way of getting rid of an annoying ob
44、ject from the nose. The object may be just some dust in the nose which nature is striving to remove. 51 The girl sneezed continuously because she _. （ A） was badly ill （ B） was mentally superstitious （ C） was afraid of falling ill （ D） had attracted world-wide attention 52 When the girl began to sne
45、eze continuously _. （ A） a lot of people offered their advice （ B） she was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital （ C） she was given a treatment found in ancient superstition （ D） many doctors treated her in different ways 53 Dr Kanner cured the girl by _. （ A） using Aristotles method （ B） giving her psych
46、ological treatment （ C） practicing superstition （ D） treating her tuberculosis 54 When a person sneezes, we say “God bless you“ because _. （ A） its a tradition （ B） the person is possessed of ma evil spirit （ C） the person is ill （ D） God will bless those who sneeze 55 According to scientists, peopl
47、e sneeze because _. （ A） they are ill （ B） to sneeze is human nature （ C） they do not need any conscious help （ D） they do not like their noses 55 Cars account for half the oil consumed in the US, about half the urban pollution and one-fourth the greenhouse gases. They take a similar oil of resource
48、s in other industrial nations and in the cities of the developing world. As vehicle use continues to increase in the coming decade, the US and other countries will have to deal with these issues or else face unacceptable economic, health-related and political costs. It is unlikely that oil prices wi
49、ll remain at their current low level or that other nations will accept a large and growing US contribution to global climatic change. Policymakers and industry have four options: reduce vehicle use, increase the efficiency and reduce the emissions of conventional gasoline-powered vehicles, switch to less harmful fuels, or find less polluting driving systems. The last of these - in particular the introduction of vehicl
