he finally said. 1. what did the man mean by saying take it easy unless you want lead for lunch? a. put up your hands. b. dont move or ill shoot you. c. if you want to have lunch, you must listen to me. d. you go first slowly and well have lunch together. 答案: b 指导：从上下文知，bond当时以为是枪顶着他的后背，故推知本句决非本义。lead指子弹。*结束阅读理解猜测词义 passage *tides(潮汐)are created mainly by the pull of the moon on the earth. the moons pull causes water in the oceans to be a little deeper at a point closet to the moon and also at a point farthest from the moon on the opposite side of the earth. these two tidalwavesfollow the apparent(明显的) movement of the moon around the earth and strike nearly every coast line at in- tervals of about twelve hours and twenty-five minutes. after reaching a high point, the water level goes down gradually for a little more than six hours and then begins to rise toward a new high point. hence, most coast lines have two tides a day, and the tides occur fifty minutes later each day. differences in the coast line and in channels in the ocean bottom may change the times that the tidal wave reaches different points along the same coast line. tne difference in water level between high and low tide varies from day to day according to the relative positions of the sun and the moon because the sun also exerts a pull on the earth, although it is only about half as strong as the pull of the moon. when the sun and the moon are pulling along the same line, the tides rise higher, and when they pull at fight angles to one another, the tide is lower. the formation of the coast line and variations(变化)in the weather are additional factors which can affect the height of tides. some sections of the coast are shaped in such a way as to cause much higher tides than are experienced in other areas. a strong wind blowing toward the shore may also cause tides to be higher. 1. the height of the tide is affected by all of the following except_. a. the position of the sun b. the direction of the wind c. variations in the coast line d. channels in the sea bottom 答案：d 指导：潮汐的高度受太阳、风向和海岸线差异的影响，海沟只影响潮汐的时间。由文中differencesin channels in the ocean bottom may change the time.可知。2. if the pull of the sun equaled the pull of the moon, tides would_. a. sometimes be higher than they are now b. be the same height as they are now c. no longer be affected by the wind d. be of equal height all the time 答案：a 指导：太阳对地球的吸引力只有月亮的一半(it is only about half as strong as the pull of the moon)如果相同并作用在一个方向上，潮汐会比目前高。本题必须正确理解设问的意思3. if one high tide occurs at 1: 00 a. m. , the next high tide at the same point will occur at about_. a. 1: 25 a.m. the same day b. 1: 00 p.m. the same day c. 1: 25 p.m. the same day d. 1:50 a.m. the next day 答案：c 指导：潮汐12小时一次，每24小时向后延迟50分钟，题干中所给定的时间是12小时间段，故应是25分钟。*结束阅读理解推理判断passages *(朝阳综合) people are making more and more demands on the worlds natural resources. if babies bom in 1991 live for eighty years, the human population of the world may be anything from twice to three times the present total by 2070. in other words, they will have to share what is left of the earths resources with 15 billion other people. but hopefully there will be an important decrease in the growth of population. what if this does not happen? the answer is that by the time before the babies born in 1991 reach the age of 40 they could be sharing resources with as many as 10 billion other people. limiting the pollution of water and the atmosphere, controlling the output of the chemicals that may be causing the global warming and climate change, and eating less meat may go some to help, but can anyone seriously imagine that these are going to solve the problems of the baby class of 1991 ?there is no getting away from the fact that people are responsible(5(对.负责) for the present state of the world, and only people can solve the problems. the decisions have to be taken by people as members of national and local governments;as leaders and decision-makers in industry; as scientists and technologists; as professional engineers and designers; as reli- gious (宗教的) leaders and individual citizens. 1. which of the foll
