23、ar landslides (滑坡) cause 25 to 50 eaths and $1.5 billion in damage in the United States. They account for 15 percent of the deaths from natural disasters in Europe. And in December, a single event killed more than 200 people in the Philippines. Sending workers to stabilize mountainsides using steel
24、bars and cement (水泥) can help prevent disasters, but it introduces new difficulties. Shaking drills produce harmful dust and loosen heavy, dangerous debris (岩屑). “It s quite a risky job,“says Giorgio Pezzuto of D Appolonia, an engineering company in Italy.D Appolonia, working with eight other compan
25、ies, may have an answer: a three-ton robot called Roboclimber. “ The idea is to operate a machine far away that can drill without a human being on board,“ says Pezzuto, the manager for the project, which is supported by the European Commission. Engineers claim that the machine will be faster and che
26、aper than manual labor. The robot, a large radio-controlled four-legged mechanical spider, has cost at least $ 2 million so far. The final product should be able to climb unstable mountainsides, drill holes, insert bars and cement, and collect data on the stability. Testing should begin in May.56 Th
27、e underlined word “event“ (Paragraph 1) refers to_.（A）landslide（B） machine（C） earthquake（D）flood57 What is the purpose in writing this text?（A）Telling people how serious the damage caused by landslides is.（B） Telling people that sending workers to stabilize mountainsides is a risky job.（C） Introduci
28、ng a product that can be used to stabilize mountainsides.（D）Showing people how to use a new product.58 What does the robot look like?（A）A human being.（B） A spider.（C） A truck.（D）A drill.59 The biggest advantage of this product is that_.（A）it will be faster and cheaper than manual labor（B） it can cli
29、mb mountainsides, drill holes, insert bars and cement（C） it can collect data on the slope s stability（D）it can drill without a human being on board59 “How far is it to the next village?“ the American asks a man sitting by the side of the road. In some countries, because the man realizes that the tra
30、veler is tired and eager to get to his destination (目的地 ) , he will politely say “Just down the road“. He thinks this is more encouraging, gentler, and therefore the wanted answer. So the American drives through the night, getting more and more angry, feeling “ tricked“. He thinks the man purposely
31、cheated him, for obviously he must have known the distance quite well.Had conditions been turned over, the American would have felt he was “cheating“ the driver if he had said the next town was close when he knew it was really 15 miles further on. Though, he, too, would be sympathetic(同情的)to the wea
32、ry driver, he would say “You have a good way to go yet; it is at least 15 miles“. The driver might be disappointed, but he would know what to expect.Whether to be correct or polite leads to many misunderstandings between people of different cultures. If you are aware of the situation in advance, it
33、is sometimes easier to recognize the problem.60 The man at the roadside tells the American it is close to the next village because_.（A）he is playing a trick on him（B） the American expects the answer（C） he doesn t know the exact distance at all（D）he wants to encourage him to go further61 We learn fro
34、m this passage that Americans_.（A）are good at cheating（B） are polite to anybody（C） are sympathetic but honest（D）have no sympathy for others62 If you ask an American how far it is from the next village, he will_.（A）tell you the exact distance if he knows it（B） tell you it is close although he knows i
35、t isn t（C） say that he doesn t know and encourage you to go on（D）decide whether you are tired or not, and then give you an answer63 The short passage advises us to_.（A）be polite but honest to foreigners（B） learn customs of different countries（C） decide whether to be polite according to different cul
36、tures（D）tell more truths to Americans than to people from other countries63 It was the first snow of winter. Up until now, I had been able to dress myself for recess(课间休息 ) , but today I would need some help. Miss King, my kindergarten teacher, may still remember this one.I managed to get into my sn
37、ow pants, but I struggled with my jacket because it did not fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother. Finally it was time to have Miss King help me with my boots. She said, “By the end of winter, you will be able to put on your own boots. “I handed her my boots, and she managed to get the fir
38、st one into place and then worked the second one on, too.I said, “They are on the wrong feet. “ She struggled to get the boots off and tried again. Then I said, “ These aren t my boots, they are my brother s boots and I hate them!“ Somehow, she managed to act as though I was not an annoying little g
39、irl. She pushed and shoved, less gently this time and the boots were returned to their proper place on my feet. Seeing the end of her struggle with me, she asked, “Now, where are your gloves?“I looked into her eyes and said, “ I did not want to lose them, so I put them into the toes of my boots. “64
40、 According to the passage, the little girl got_from her brother.（A）the pants and jacket（B） the jacket and boots（C） the jacket and hat（D）the gloves65 What made it difficult for the teacher to help the little girl put her boots on?（A）The wrong size of the boots.（B） The unwillingness of the girl.（C） Th
41、e gloves in the toes of the boots.（D）The slowness of the teacher.66 Why did the little girl put her gloves into her boots?（A）She worried to lose them.（B） To make her teacher find them.（C） She didn t know the reason.（D）She didnt like them.67 From the passage we can guess how old was the girl?（A）5.（B）
42、 12（C） 16（D）2067 Scientists say they now have proof to support the old-fashioned advice that its best to sleep on a problem. They say sleep strengthens the memory and helps the brain organize the masses of information we receive each day.Lead researcher Bob Stickgold at the Harvard Medical School sa
43、id, “Sleep helps us draw rules from our experiences. Its like knowing the difference between dogs and cats. even if its hard to explain. “The US research team studied how well students remembered connections between words and symbols (象征) , reports New Scientist. They compared how the students perfo
44、rmed if they had had a sleep between seeing the words and having the test, and if they had not slept. They found that people were better able to remember lists of related words after a night s sleep than after the same time spent awake during the day. They also found it easier to remember themes (主题
45、) that the words had in common. But they forgot around one in four more themes if they had been awake. Prof. John Groeger, of Surrey Universitys Sleep Research Centre, said, “People have been trying for years to fard out what the purpose of sleep is, as we know that only certain parts of it have a r
46、estorative (有助恢复的) value. “ We form and store huge numbers of experiences in the head every day, and sleep seems to be the way the brain deals with it all. “68 The phrase“ to sleep on a problem“ in Paragraph 1 most likely means to_. （A）pay full attention to a problem（B） wait until later for a decisi
47、on（C） sleep to forget a problem（D）have difficulty sleeping69 In the study by the US research team, students were asked to_.（A）put together words of similar meanings（B） remember words and their meanings（C） show their knowledge of words（D）make up lists of related words70 Which of the following may be
48、easier to remember?（A）Themes learned right before the test.（B） Rules from personal experiences.（C） Words learnt before a good sleep.（D）Ideas stored together in the brain.71 What may be the importance of the research?（A）It shows sleep may help us manage imformation.（B） It helps find out the common th
49、emes of words.（C） It tells us that more sleep can improve health.（D）It proves the value of old-fashioned advice.71 Planning Your Visit to the California Science CenterHours & AdmissionThe California Science Center is open daily from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. except for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day.
