Herakleion and Menouthis were
15、rich and proud cities until something reduced them to rubble (碎石)and buried them in the mud beneath 30 feet of sea water, French underwater explorer Franck Goddio said at the American Geophysical Union conference. “This is a mystery that is ongoing,“ said Goddio, a founder of the European Institute
16、of Marine Archeology (海 洋考古学), a Paris-based underwater research organization backed by the wealthy Hilti Foundation of Liechtenstein (列支敦士登基金会). The destruction of the twin port cities has haunted Goddio ever since he happened upon the site about 15 miles from Alexandria while exploring sunken ship
17、s from Napoleons fleet. Goddio and his group of expert divers, marine archeologists and others, is using high powered vacuums, satellite navigation systems and sophisticated sonar (声纳) to excavate (挖掘) the sunken cities from underneath a carpet of silt about one meter (three feet) high. Walls of sho
18、ps, remains of streets and gold artifacts have been found and recovered. Some experts believe that the port cities were destroyed by a series of massive earthquakes, much like the quakes scientists believe felled Troy (特洛伊城), Jericho and other ancient cities. The uniform direction of the collapsed c
19、olumns and walls suggest an earthquake, Goddio said, but no fault lines have been found nearby. Other researchers believe a massive wave, caused by either an offshore earthquake or a distant underwater landslide, could explain the catastrophe. Still others think rising seas and a shift in the Nile R
20、iver outlet doomed the cities. “The argument, as you can see, continues,“ Goddio said.20 The reason why the two port cities disappeared under the waters of Mediterranean Sea is that_.（A）the two port cities were destroyed by huge earthquakes（B） the disappearance of the two port cities was caused by u
21、nderwater landslide（C） rising seas and a shift in the Nile River outlet doomed the cities（D）the story didnt tell us a definite answer21 From the story we can draw a conclusion that_.（A）the two port cities were famous for their wealth and the mystery（B） the two cities belonged to France（C） some myste
22、rious creatures from other planets destroyed the two cities（D）the American Geophysical Union conference was once held in one of the two cities22 This article is probably from_.（A）a scientific magazine（B） a report to the government（C） a school text book（D）a scientific report in a newspaper22 The incr
23、ease of families headed by single parents was one of the most striking changes in the 1980s. By the end of the decade, 28% of the children in the United States lived with a single parent, a percentage doubled that of 1970. Almost one-third of these children lived with a parent who had never married.
24、 Many of these parents had given birth as teenagers. Nearly half of all babies delivered by white teenage mothers in the mid-1980s were born out of marriage. For black teenage mothers the figure was 90% Between 1960 and 1985, the proportion of births to unmarried teenage mothers increased from just
25、over 15% to 58%. Divorces and separations accounted for the other single-parent families.The economic consequences of living in a single-parent household were stunning. It was reported in 1991 that the average income in two-parent families was more than $ 40 000; in homes headed by divorced mothers,
26、 around $ 16 000; and in the homes of never-married mothers, under $ 9 000. The never-married mothers were frequently poor before giving birth to children, and figures for 1985 showed that only one in nine received child support payments from the father of the children. About 54 percent of fathers w
27、ho had divorced their childrens mother and not remarried made child-support payments. For those who had remarried, the figure dropped to 42%. When payments were made, they tended to be very little.Single-parent homes relied more heavily than others on outside-the-home childcare arrangements, with th
28、e children placed in the care of family and friends as schedules permitted. Older children cared for younger ones at earlier ages. More children spent more time at home alone. National surveys indicated that children growing up in a single-parent family were more likely than those raised in two-pare
29、nt homes to drop out of high school, marry as teenagers, bear children before marrying, and experience unsatisfying marriages themselves. Even though a majority of children from single-parent families did not have these experiences, their prospects for having them were relatively high.23 What was th
30、e percentage of children living with a parent who had never married in the United States in the end of the 1980s?（A）About 28%.（B） About 14%.（C） About 9%.（D）About 7%.24 Single-parent children refer to those whose parents_.（A）had been divorced（B） had been separated（C） had never been married（D）all of t
31、he above25 Which child was supposed to be raised in better environments?（A）The child of a never-married mother.（B） The child from a two-parent family.（C） The child whose father had divorced his wife and remarried.（D）The child whose father had divorced his wife but not remarried.26 Which of the follo
32、wing statements is Not true?（A）Single parent children usually take care of themselves.（B） Older children cared for younger ones at earlier ages.（C） Single parents usually arrange for someone like a nurse to take care of the children.（D）Single parents usually put their children in the care of family
33、and friends temporarily.27 National Surveys showed that children from a single-parent family were more likely than those raised in two-parent homes_.（A）to be independent（B） to marry late in their life（C） to achieve great success in their academic field（D）to have unhappy family lives27 The old advert
34、ising slogan, “So simple a child can do it,“ has taken on new meaning for me. A few weeks ago I got a computer, but I am mechanically illiterate. I knew that children had no fear of the future, so that seemed a good place to seek help. I asked my nephew, twelve years old, at an elementary school, to
35、 help me.My nephew took the machine for granted and has simply accepted the fact that computers are now a way of life. He plays with them and does his homework on them and even creates programs for them. I, on the other hand, am terrified by what this equipment can do. It can interchange paragraphs,
36、 switch words around and even correct my spelling. It informs me of its limitations, takes commands and asks questions. It even seems to have a sense of communication. Rather than accusing me of making an error, it prints “One of us has made a mistake!“ It never gets tired and is always patient and
37、ready to go when I am.I think it was somewhat normal for me to be suspicious of computers. They represent a break with some very familiar habits and traditions. It is only human to instinctively avoid anything that shifts thoroughly from the acceptable, comfortable past. But the world is governed by
38、 ceaseless change and we must therefore establish links with the present and future as well as the past. Computer technology is an excellent case in point, as the newest systems grow out of date in only a few years, or even months.This ability to see, experience and accept the new is one of our savi
39、ng characteristics. To be fearful of tomorrow, to close ourselves to possibilities, to resist the inevitable, to advocate standing still when all else is moving forward, is to lose touch. If we accept the new with joy and wonder, we can move gracefully into each tomorrow. More often than not, the ch
40、ildren shall lead us.28 According to the second paragraph, which of the following statements is true?（A）The nephew thought it is natural to accept the fact that computers are now a way of life.（B） The nephew believed that machines were made for people to do whatever they wanted.（C） Computers are not
41、 only used to communicate, but also to remove their limitations.（D）It is a fact that both adults and children have accepted computers as a way of life.29 Which of the following doesnt the authors computer do?（A）It asks the author if she has made a mistake.（B） It accuses the author of making mistakes
42、.（C） It corrects the authors spelling mistakes.（D）It informs the author of her mistakes.30 According to the third paragraph, it is human nature that we resist those things which（A）only represent the comfortable and acceptable past（B） change thoroughly into the comfortable and acceptable past（C） make
43、 people stand still when all is moving forward（D）change completely from the acceptable and comfortable past30 Teaching involves more than leadership. Some of the teachers time and effort is directed toward instruction, some toward evaluation. But it is the teacher as a group leader who creates an ef
44、ficient organizational structure and good working environment so that instruction and evaluation activities can take place. A group that is totally disorganized, unclear about its goals, or constantly fighting among its members will not be a good learning group. The leadership pattern includes helpi
45、ng to form and maintain a positive learning environment so that instruction and evaluation activities can take place.On the first day of class, the teacher faces a room filled with individuals. Perhaps a few closely united groups and friendships already exist. But there is no sense of group unity, n
46、o set of rules for conduct in the group, no feeling of belonging. If teachers are successful leaders, they will help students develop a system of relationships that encourages cooperation.Standards and rules must be established that maintain order, ensure justice, and protect individual rights, but
47、do not contradict school policy. What happens when one student hurts anothers individual rights? Without clear guidelines mutually agreeable to students, teachers, and administration, the classroom can become chaotic. Students may break rules they did not know existed. If standards are set without i
48、nput from the class, students may spend a great deal of creative energy in ruining the class environment finding ways to break rules.No matter how skillful the teacher is in uniting students and establishing a positive atmosphere, the task is never complete. Regular maintenance is necessary. Conflic
49、ts arise. The needs of individual members change. A new kind of learning task requires a new organizational structure. Sometimes outside pressures such as holidays, upcoming tests or athletic contests, or family troubles cause stress in the classroom. One task for the teacher is to restore a positive environment by helping students cope with conflict, change, and stress.31 This article is written mainly for the purpose of_.（A）providing information for teaching（B） s
