9、a there is the danger of bush fires. Long periods of hot dry weather cause the grass and trees to become highly inflammable.

10、ry easily, often spontaneously(自动地，自发地), but usually because of a carelessly thrown cigarette or match. If there is a high wind, the ample supply of air fans the flames into an inferno.

14、 of the most famous sights in the world.The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. The statue was made by a French sculptor named Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. The inner support system was designed by Gustave Eiffel, the same man who made the famous
15、Eiffel Tower in Paris.Liberty, of course, means freedom, and the Statue of Liberty was given to the United States to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of U. S. independence from England.

16、pened for the public on October 28, 1886.As you might expect, the statue is very big. Visitors can ride an elevator from the ground to the bottom of the statue.

19、them being perhaps the hovercraft. In 1953, a former electronics engineer in his fifties, Christopher Cockerell, who had turned to boat-building on the Norfolk Broads, suggested an idea on which be had been working for many years to the British government and industrial circles. It was the idea of s
20、upporting a craft on a “pad“, or cushion, of low-pressure air, ringed with a curtain of higher pressure air. Ever since, people have had difficulty in deciding whether the craft should be ranged among ships, planes, or land vehiclesfor it is something in between a boat and an aircraft. As a ship bui
21、lder, Cockerell was trying to find a solution to the problem of the wave resistance which wastes a good deal of a surfaces power and limits its speed. His answer was to lift the vessel out of the water by making it ride on a cushion of air, no more than one or two feet thick. This is done by a great
22、 number of ring-shaped air jets on the bottom of the craft. It “flies“, therefore, but it cannot fly higherits action depends on the surface, water or ground, over which it rides. 29 Which of the following statements is true?（A）The engineer had worked out the idea for many years.（B） The engineer had
23、 been working on the idea for many years.（C） The engineer suggested the idea to the British government and industrial circles for many years.（D）The British government and industrial circles accepted the idea many years later.30 The engineers suggestion is that he build a craft _.（A）with support of a

25、g distance（D）a craft which can fly in circles32 We may conclude from reading the passage that _.（A）a hovercraft can not fly high because of the surrounding high-pressure air（B） a hovercraft is as much in use as a plane（C） a hovercraft “flies“ with a greater speed than ships（D）a hovercraft also has t
26、he problem of wave resistance32 It is animals and plants which lived in or near water whose remains are most likely to be preserved, for one of the necessary conditions of preservation is quick burial, and it is only in the seas and rivers, and sometimes lakes, where mud and silt have been continual
27、ly deposited, that bodies and the like can be rapidly covered over and preserved.But even in the most favorable circumstances only a small fraction of the creatures that die are preserved in this way before decay sets in or, even more likely, before scavengers eat them. After all, all living creatur
28、es live by feeding on something else, whether it be plant or animal, dead or alive, and it is only by chance that such a fate is avoided. The remains of plants and animals that lived on land are much more rarely preserved, for there is seldom anything to cover them over. When you think of the innume
29、rable birds that one sees flying about, not to mention the equally numerous small animals like field mice and voles which you do not see, it is very rarely that one comes across a dead body, except, of course, on the roads. They decompose and are quickly destroyed by the weather or eaten by some oth
30、er creatures. 33 Quick burial leads to the preservation of _.（A）a large number of remains（B） a number of remains（C） only a small number of remains（D）few remains34 Which of the following is not true?（A）All living creatures die in order to be eaten by others.（B） All living creatures can be the food of

32、th（B） Life Forms on Earth（C） The Discovery of Life on Earth（D）The Preservation of the Past Life on Earth36 1970 was World Conservation Year. The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world is in danger. They hoped that governments would act quickly in order to “conserve“ nature. Here is on
33、e example of the problem. At one time there were 1,300 different plants, trees and flowers in Holland. But now only 866 remain. The others have been destroyed by modern man and his technology. We are changing the earth, the air and water, and everything that grows and lives. We cant live without the
34、se things either. If we continue like this, we shall destroy ourselves.What will happen in the future? Perhaps it is more important to ask “What must we do now?“ The people who will be living in the world of tomorrow are the young of today. A lot of them know that conservation is necessary. Many are
35、 helping to save our world. They plant trees, build bridges across rivers in forests, and so on. In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned the banks of 11 kilometres of their river. Young people may hear conservation through a record called “No Ones Going to Change Our Worl
36、d“. It was made by the Beetles, Cliff Richard and other singers.
