18、n your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET. 20 Oceanography has been defined as “The application of all sciences to the study of the sea“. Before the nineteenth century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writin
19、gs, but he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work. For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface.
20、The first time that question “What is at the bottom of the oceans?“ had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth profile of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be
21、 manufactured. It was to Maury of the U. S. Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
22、 Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea. The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in
23、 living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea. Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their
24、 classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895. 21 The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanographic studies take on_. ( A) an academic aspect ( B) a military aspect ( C) a business asp
25、ect ( D) an international aspect 22 The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the 1840s was_. ( A) to make some sounding experiments in the oceans ( B) to collect samples of sea plants and animals ( C) to estimate the length of cable that was needed ( D) to measure the depths of the two oc
26、eans 23 “Defied“ in the 4th paragraph probably means “_“. ( A) doubted ( B) gave proof to ( C) contradicted ( D) agreed to 24 This passage is mainly about_. ( A) the beginnings of oceanography ( B) the laying of the first undersea cable ( C) the investigation of ocean depths ( D) the early intercont
27、inental communications 25 What does the sentence “Within a few years oceanography was under way“ mean? ( A) Several years later the study of oceanography disappeared. ( B) More and more studies and expeditions on oceanography began to appear. ( C) The expedition led by Thomson began in 1872. ( D) Th
28、e five-volume report was published in 1895. 25 It was two years ago today that the hunting ban came into force, supposedly ending centuries of tradition. However, the law has been an unmitigated failurenot that either side is shouting about it. It was a nightmare vision that struck fear and loathing
29、 into the hearts of millions. When the hunting ban became law, it was said, 16,000 people would lose their jobs, thousands of hounds would be put down, rotting carcasses would litter the countryside, hedgerows would disappear, riders would face on-the-spot fines, law-abiding people from doctors to b
30、arristers would be dragged from their horses and carted off to prison, while dog owners would be prosecuted if their mutt caught a rabbit. These were just some of the claims as desperate countryside campaigners battled to save their sport in the leadup to the hunting ban, which Labour rammed into la
31、w using the Parliament Act on November 18, 2004. For many, the fears were real. Others exaggerated as they fought an increasingly aggressive anti-hunting lobby which had rejected acres of independent evidence affirming that hunting is the most humane way of killing foxes. In the battle to “fight pre
32、judice, fight the ban“ , every emotive argument was deployed. For its part, the anti-hunting brigade extravagantly claimed that the ban would put an end to the rich parading in red jackets. A senior Labour MP, Peter Bradley, admitted in this newspaper that it was, as many suspected, about “ class wa
33、r“. He lost his seat shortly afterwards. But people in red coats did not disappear. In fact, none of the forecasts came true. What did happen was something nobody had predicted: the spectacular revival and growth of hunting with hounds. In short, the hunting ban has been a failure. Today, on the sec
34、ond anniversary of the bans coming into force on February 18, 2005, new figures show that participation in the sport has never been higher. It is so cheerful that two new packs have been formed, something that has not happened for centuries. They include the seductively named Private Pack, set up by
35、 the financier Roddy Fleming in Gloucestershire. It operates on an invitation-only basis, a sort of hunting private members club. This can only mean one thing: like it or not, hunting is cool. Young people are taking it up, enticed by the element of rebellion and the mystique of what actually happen
36、s as hunts attempt to keep within the law. 26 The hunting ban has been a complete failure because_. ( A) the hunting has never been stopped but has instead flourished ( B) the government has been short of hands to enforce the law ( C) the law makers failed to see hunting as a long-time tradition ( D
37、) the ban aimed to protect the interests of the upper-class only 27 Those who break the hunting ban would_. ( A) lose their jobs ( B) bring shame to their fellow people ( C) have to kill their horses and dogs ( D) face either fines or imprisonment 28 The anti-hunting lobby held that_. ( A) fox-hunti
38、ng was an expression of prejudice ( B) the countryside campaigners were reasonable ( C) the theory of humane killing did not hold water ( D) the hunters exaggerated the dreadful scene of hunting 29 By saying “people in red coats did not disappear,“ the author implied that_. ( A) the upper class won
39、the “war“ ( B) Bradley deserved his fate ( C) the hunting ban did not work ( D) the hunting ban was untimely 30 As a result of the ban,_. ( A) hunting activities have become more secretive ( B) people have become more curious about hunting ( C) citizens have become more confused by the law ( D) the
40、country tradition has been radically shaken 30 Some of the most popular attractions across America are the many free concerts offered to the public throughout the year. These involve not only amateur performers, but professional artists as well. The public parks of many cities across the country usu
41、ally have bandstands and large lawns. As a service to citizens, they rent out space to performers free of charge. Amateur groups, with nothing more than a desire to perform, offer their talents freely to the public. Semi-professional artists are pleased to get the chance to perform before the public
42、 to perfect their craft and nurture the hope of being discovered before beginning a professional career. Famous professionals also give free concerts to make contact with their admiring fans. Often such concerts are sponsored by a large corporate organization and offered to the public free of charge
43、 as a cultural service and support for the arts. The free concerts feature all kinds of music from rock and roll, jazz, country-western to the classics. In addition, free performances may include the plays of Shakespeare or experimental theater of modern dramatists. In New Yorks Central Park there h
44、as long been a summer Shakespeare festival which draws huge crowds to the free performances. Of these concerts the ones held on a summer evening in the park are the most popular. They take on a festive air. Friends and groups gather together after work and spread out a blanket on the lawn facing the
45、 performers stage. The early comers get the best locations and enjoy a picnic supper while it is still daylight. The free seating is on a first come basis. Therefore, by the time the concert begins, as many as five thousand or more people may be in attendance. The concerts usually begin at 8 p. m. a
46、nd are performed under the stars. The sound is made sufficiently loud so that no matter where one chooses to sit, he can hear very well. The only disturbance may be the sound of an overhead airplane on its final approach to an airport or the far-off siren(警笛声 )of an ambulance on its way to the hospi
47、tal. This matters little! What counts is to soak up the atmosphere created by the music and to be with friends in the fresh open air. The best part of it all is that its free! 31 Many American parks give free concerts on their lawns because they_. ( A) have the necessary facilities ( B) can attract
48、more visitors ( C) want to serve the public ( D) are in a position to invite musicians 32 The concerts in parks are often financially supported by_. ( A) the parks themselves ( B) big organizations ( C) professional musicians ( D) music fans 33 For semi-professional artists, performing before the pu
49、blic is a good chance_. ( A) to improve themselves in their career ( B) to help train amateur performers ( C) to make friends with superstars ( D) to get involved in profitable business 34 The concerts can attract so many people mainly because_. ( A) the attendants dont have to pay ( B) the seating is on a first come basis ( C) they provide free picnic supper ( D) they are held in the open air 35 The phrase “soak up“ in the last paragraph probably means
