20、escape through windows is possible. Learn the best way of leaving by a window with the least chance of serious injury. In a home fire, windows are often the only means of escape. The second floor window sill is usually not more than 13 feet from the ground. An average person, hanging by the fingerti
21、ps, will have a drop of about six to the ground. Of course, it is after to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building. Rolling away from the building when you land.

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 Very high waves are destructive when
28、they strike the land. Fortunately, this seldom happens. One reason is that out at sea, waves moving in one direction almost always run into waves moving in a different direction. The two sets of waves tend to cancel each other out. Another reason is that water is shallower near the shore. As a wave
29、gets closer to land, the shallow bottom helps reduce its strength. But the power of waves striking the shore can still be very great. During a winter gale, waves sometimes strike the shore with the force of 6,000 pounds for each square foot. That means a wave, 25 feet high and 500 feet along its fac
30、e, may strike the shore with a force of 75 million pounds. Yet the waves, no matter how big or how violent, affect only the surface of the sea. During the most raging storms, the water a hundred fathoms(600 feet) beneath the surface is just as calm as on a day without a breath of wind. 41 According

34、ace storm are frightful. （ B） A submarine commander navigating his vessel at a depth of 700 feet will not be affected by a ranging surface storm. （ C） A typhoon 500 miles out at sea can stir up the ocean floor. （ D） If high waves can strike the shore with a horizontal force of 75 million pounds, the
35、 vertical force of such waves can have an even greater effect upon the ocean floor. Task 3 Directions: The following is a passage. After reading it, you are required to complete the outline in the table below (No. 46 through 50). You should write your answers briefly (in no more than 3 words) on the

38、everal full days to look for accommodation at the beginning of your program. This will allow you to obtain an idea of the range of housing available.

Readers should understand, however, that the purpose
44、of the book is to read the language, not to teach engineering. The language in which scientific and technical facts are expressed is certainty not a different language from that of everyday life, but all the same it presents the foreign student with a number of special problems. The most obvious and
45、 the most widely recognized of these problems is the vocabulary. Much more difficult are the semi-scientific or semi-technical words, which have a whole range of meanings and are frequently used idiomatically. One of the aims of this practice book is to present as many of these words as possible, an
46、d as often as possible: words such as work and paint and load and feed and force. Words like these look harmless, but they can cause a lot of trouble to the student. But more than anything else, I have tried to describe the technical statement: that is, the completed sentence rather than the individ
47、ual word. Many of the structures illustrated in the book are essential to the expression of technical facts and ideas at least for the present. 56 Who is the book addressed primarily to? 57 What does the book aim at? 58 Why are the semi-scientific or semi-technical words difficult to foreign student
