The first step of the cycle is the evapo
19、ration of water in the oceans. Evaporation is the process of water turning into vapor, which then forms clouds in the sky. The second step in the water returning to the earth in the form of precipitation(凝结), either rain, snow or ice. When the water reaches the earth s surface, it runs off into the
20、rivers, lakes, and the ocean, where the cycle begins again.Not all water, however, stays on the surface of the earth in the hydrologic cycle. Some of it seeps(渗入)into the ground through infiltration(渗透)and collects under the earth s surface as groundwater. This groundwater is extremely important to
21、life on the earth since 95% of the earth s water is in the oceans, and it is too salty for humans or plants. Of the 5% on land, only 0.05% is above ground in rivers or lakes. The rest is underground water. This underground water is plentiful and dependable, as it doesn t depend on seasonal rain or s
22、now. It is the major source of water for many cities. But as the population increases and the need for water also increases, the ground, water in some areas is getting dangerously low. Added to this problem is an increasing amount of pollution that seeps into the groundwater. In the future with an i
23、ncreasing population and more toxic waste, the hydrologic cycle we depend on could become dangerously unbalanced.41 Clouds are formed from_.（A）water vapor（B） evaporation（C） the hydrologic cycle（D）groundwater42 Water returns to the earth by_.（A）infiltration（B） pollution（C） precipitation（D）evaporation
24、43 Groundwater_.（A）depends on seasonal rain（B） comes from toxic waste（C） is 0.05% of all water（D）collects under the earth44 The amount of groundwater is_.（A）about 95% of all water（B） less than 5% of all water（C） 0.05% of above ground water（D）95% of above groundwater45 The supply of groundwater is ge
25、tting low because of_.（A）conservation（B） toxic waste（C） pollution（D）population increase45 Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of body weight. Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather try switching to “li
26、ght“beer and low-calorie(热量)bread than increase physical exercise. The Centers for Disease Control, for example, found that fewer than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to shed pounds so did that they were combining exercise with their food.In rejecting exercise, some people may be und
27、uly(过度地)discouraged by calorie-consuming sports; for example, one would have to quickly walk three miles just to work off the 275 calories in one delicious(美味的)cake. Even those who support exercise agree half a point here, and say,“Exercise by itself is a very tough way to lose weight. “Still the ex
28、ercise s supporting role in weight reduction is essential. A study at the Boston University Medical Center of some overweight adults showed that those who dieted(节食)without exercise regained almost their old weight, while those who worked exercises not their daily routine maintained their new weight
29、.If you have been accustomed to sitting long and decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. In a years time, supposing not increase in food in-take, you could lose ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other
30、food adjustments, you may lose even more weight.46 The main idea of the passage is_.（A）getting up early in the morning can help lose body weight（B） being on diet without enough exercise can hardly lose weight（C） increasing exercises plays an important role in weight reduction（D）lightbeer and low-cal
31、orie bread should be kept away from over-weight adult47 In paragraph one, the phrase “shed pounds“ means_.（A）to put away some money（B） to maintain body weight（C） to stop eating high-calorie bread（D）to get rid of extra calories48 Walking three miles quickly just burns_calories in one delicious cake.（
32、A）10（B） 100（C） 275（D）72549 Those who dieted without exercise could_.（A）keep all their usual weight（B） maintain their new weight（C） reduce their old weight to new weight（D）increase their weight50 The best way for overweight adults to lose weight is_.（A）only by dieting（B） either by doing exercise or a
33、djusting the food（C） either by increasing physical activity gradually or adjusting the food（D）both by increasing physical activity gradually and adjusting the food50 A robot can be found everywhere in the future. It may do all that human beings do. As civilization proceed in the direction of technol
34、ogy, it passed the point of supplying all the basic essential of lifefood, shelter, clothes, and warmth. Then we are faced with a choice between using technology to provide and fulfill needs which have hitherto been regarded as unnecessary or, on the other hand, using technology to reduce the number
35、 of hours of work which a man must do in order to earn a given standard of living. In other words, we either raise our standard of living above that necessary for comfort and happiness or we leave it at this level and work shorter ours. I shall take it as axiomatic than mankind has, by that time, ch
36、osen the latter alternative. Men will be working shorter and shorter hours in their paid employment. It follows that the housewife will also expect to be able to have more leisure in her life without lowering her standard of living. It also follows that human domestic servants will have completely c
37、eased to exist. Yet the great majority of the housewives will wish to be relieved completely from the routine operations of the home such as scrubbing the floors or the bath or the cooker, or washing the clothes or washing up, or dusting or sweeping, or making beds.51 From this passage we can easily
38、 guess that if housewives expect to have more leisure they must_.（A）have more servants to serve them（B） make more money to buy what they want（C） get something done（D）have a robot about the house52 Which statement best expresses the main idea of the passage?（A）How do women get rid of the hard housewo
39、rk?（B） We have more time to do what we like as technology develops.（C） If we earn a good standard of living, leave it at this level.（D）Great progress has been made in making robot.53 “We either raise our standard of living above that necessary for comfort. “ What does “at“ here refer to?（A）Shorter h
40、ours（B） The basic essentials of life（C） A given standard of living（D）Robot about the house54 What time does mankind choose the latter alternatives?（A）After a robot can be found everywhere.（B） Before a robot can be found everywhere.（C） When the standard of living has been raised to comfort.（D）Before
41、the standard of living will have been raised.55 In this passage, “latter alternative“ refers to_.（A）we leave the standard of living at this level（B） we work shorter hours（C） both A and B（D）our standard of living has been further improved55 A national political struggle is continuing over the issue o
42、f protection for the remnants(残余 )of vast ancient forests that once covered the northwestern areas of the United States. These old forests, called “old growth“, contain trees from 200 to 1200 years old. There are now about 6 million acres of virgin(原始的)forest on Washington and Oregon, only about one
43、-tenth of what existed before the 1880s. This low growth contains some of the most valuable timber in the nation, but its economic worth is also contained in its water, wildlife, scenery, and recreational facilities.Conservationists want the majority of existing old growth protected from harvesting.
44、 They emphasize the vital relationship between old growth and the health of the forest s ecosystem(生态系统 ). They cite studies which show that both downed and standing old trees store and release nutrients necessary to younger trees.On the other hand, much of the Northwests economy is developed around
45、 the logging(伐木)industry. Trees are cut down to make wood products, and many mills are geared(开动)for old-growth industry. In recent years, 500 acres of old growth have been logged, including trees up to 500 years old and eight feet in diameter. While the U. S. Forest Service wrestles(全力对付)with the p
46、roblem of how much of the forest to save, the harvesting of timber continues. The district office refuses to remove any of the old growth from timber production. The struggle is continuing at the national level with strong proponents on both sides.56 The best title for this passage is_.（A）Ancient Fo
47、rests of the Northwest（B） The U. S. Forest Service（C） The Harvest of Old-Growth Timber（D）The Wood-Based Economy of the Northwest57 According to this passage, conservationists would agree that_.（A）old-growth trees are not necessary for the health of the forest（B） fallen trees should not be taken away
48、（C） most of the old-growth trees do not need protection（D）young trees should not be logged58 The struggle is between_.（A）Oregon and Washington（B） Oregon and the U. S. Forest Service（C） Conservationists and the logging industry（D）Conservationists and Oregon State59 Before the 1800s_.（A）there were six million trees（B） old-growth trees were not cut down（C） the trees had more economic value（D）there were more virgin forests60 Studies show that young trees gain nutrients from_.（A）wildlife（B） virgins（C） old trees（D）wood products二、Cloze60 I soon realized that I had entered an unusual k
