deserted评卷人得分三、阅读理解some scientists say that animals in the oceans are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings. the noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. it is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. such noises are added to natural sounds. these sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves. decibels (分贝) measured in water are different from those measured on land. a noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. in water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninetyfive would have the same effect. some scientists have suggested setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in the oceans. they have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales（鲸鱼）. a team of american and canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals. the research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. this seriously affected the whales ability to exchange information and find their way. some of the whales even died. the explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected(被感染的). many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds are against a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. they say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research. scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. however, many scientists dont think that noise is a greater danger than they believed. they want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean. 36according to the passage, which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea creatures?a. the sound of cars.b. the sound of voices.c. man-made noise pollution.d. the sound of steps.37according to the passage, natural sounds include all of the following except_.a. sounds made by animals themselvesb. ocean drillingc. underwater earthquakesd. the breaking of ice fields38which of the following is discussed in the third paragraph?a. the same noise level produces a different effect on land and in the ocean.b. different places may have different types of noises.c. the decibel is not a right unit (单位) for measuring underwater noise.d. different ocean animals may have different reactions to noises.39 which of the following is true of whales?a. they wont be confused by noises.b. they are deaf to noises.c. their ability to reproduce will be lowered by high-level noises.d. their hearing will be damaged by high-level noises.40according to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future?a. they will work hard to reduce ocean noise pollution.b. they will protect animals from harmful noises.c. they will try to set a limit of 120 decibels.d. they will study the effect of ocean noise pollution.the usa is a land of immigrants. between 1815 and 1914, the world witnessed the greatest peaceful migration in its history: 35 million people, mostly europeans, left their homelands to start new lives in america. why did these people risk everything by leaving their homes and families?first, what forced emigrants to make the decision to leave? one major cause for european farmers to leave was the rise in population which in turn led to land hunger. another was politics. there was an increased taxation（税收） and the growth of armies, and many young men fled eastern europe to avoid being forced to join the army.physical hunger provided another pressing reason. following the collapse （衰退）of the economy of southern italy in the 1860s, hundreds of thousands decided to start a new life in america. religion also encouraged millions to leave the old world.in short, people chose to leave their homes for social, economic and religious reasons. as a result, by 1890 among a total population of 63 million, there were more than nine million foreign-born americans.but what were the attractions? first of all, there was the promise of land which was so scarce in europe. next, factories were calling for workers, and pay conditions were much better than back home. men were needed to open up the west and build the long railroads, and new towns needed settlers to live in and to develop business. there was the space for religious people to practice their faith in peace.this immigration meant that by around the 1850s americans of non-english had started to be more than those of english. as we know, there were losers. to start with, there were those unwilling immigrants, the slaves who had been used as a source of cheap labour. nor should we forget the equally unlucky american indians. by 1860 there were 27 million free whites, four million slaves and a mere 488,000 free blacks.nowadays, the usa is still seen by millions as the promised land. as always, it remains an attractive place to those who think it will offer them a second chance.41what is not the cause for people to leave their homeland? a. the search for religious freedom.b. the search for adventure.c. unwillingness to join the army.d. economics.42why was life of the 19th century european farmers difficult?a. there was no land.b. there was no peace.c. the population had gone down.d. there were too many of them.43 which of the following was not an attraction of the usa?a. employment b. a healthy life c. freedom of religion d. business opportunities44what is the topic of this passage? a. the usa is still seen by millions as the promised land. b. the usa is a land of immigrants. c. religion encouraged millions to leave the old world. d. about one-eighth of non-native born americans live in the usa in 1890. 45 the american indians _.a. were as fortunate as the slavesb. were more unfortunate than the slavesc. were the most unfortunated. were as unfortunate as the slavesas a boy growing up in india, i had longed to travel abroad. i used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in canada and tours to europe in the 1970s, with great interest.my big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when i was able to accompany my parents to europe, where my father was to attend a meeting. we planned to travel to belgium, netherlands and west germany.i have clear memories even today of going to mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad. i had heard several great things about lufthansa till then but now i finally got to experience them first hand, during the flight to frankfurt. we flew business class and even today i can remember the excellent service by the lufthansa crew （工作人员）. the flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable, even for someone like me, who is especially afraid of flying.after spending almost two weeks in europe, we took the lufthansa airport express from dusseldorf to frankfurt airport, for our return flight. what a journey that was! all along the rhine (莱茵河), it was simply an unforgettable experience. i had a sombre feeling on the flight back to mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation, but the lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again, with the quality of their service.being the first airline to take me abroad, lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart. even today，i continue to enjoy flights on lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline. flying, in general，for me，has always been a terrible and painful experienceflying on lufthansa，however, is something i always have and always will look forward to. 46which country does the author live in now?a. india. b. canada.c. belgium. d. germany.47what made the author so

murbach needs 11 months.almost every day of every year, murbachs thoughts turn to vision of a perfectly shaped evergreen tree that will take everyones breath away. murbach is the man responsible for finding the towering tree that makes more attractive manhattans rockefeller center each christmas season. “im always looking for a tree,” the centers chief gardener says. “i look for it even when i go to the beach in the summer. it s like a homework assignment hanging over your head.” and if he gets it wrong, theres nothing hiding it. “every day its up, 400,000 people go by, and 2.5 million people watch the lighting celebration on television,”he says. this years tree, a 74-foot nomy spruce (云杉) from richfield, ohio, flown to new york on the worlds largest cargo plane, was lighted on december 2. the arrival of the tree leads in the christmas season in new york a tradition dating back to 1931, when the workers building rockefeller center put up a small tree with ornaments (装饰品). the search for the next years tree starts soon after the old tree is chopped up for wood chips and horse-jumping logs. murbach has three standards: the tree must be at least 65 feet high, at least 35 feet across and leaves dense (密集的) enough not to see through. thats not as simple as it sounds. though forests are full of evergreens, few get enough sunlight or space to fill out. and branches in snow regions often break under the weight, making trees unbalanced. back at the office, he sorts through hundreds of letters from people offering their trees, many addressed simply to “mr. christmas tree man.”though there was occasional anxiety attack and sleepless night, murbach knows the effect the tree has on people: “its for bringing people together, attempting to bring together people you love. thats what i hope it sets off.” but murbach says hes always too worn out to celebrate christmas.51 which is the correct order of the events in the passage? a. murbachs thoughts turn to a perfectly shaped tree. b. 2.5 million people watch the christmas tree. c. the tree is flown to new york. d. it was lighted on december 2. e. the tree is chopped up. f. murbach searches for the tree. a. a, b, c, d, e, f b. c, d, b, f, e, ac. c, d, e, b, a, f d. a, f, c, d, b, e52 murbach spends a lot of time that are exhibited in manhattans rockefeller center each christmas season.a. taking care of christmas trees b. deciding on the perfect evergreensc. sorting the letters from people d. deciding the tv programs53 why does murbach take his job seriously?a. because he wants everyone to be happy with his choice. b. because he hopes to make everybody unable to breathe.c. because he enjoys showing off. d. because he wishes to attract peoples attention to himself.54 according to murbach s standard of trees, the best tree must_ .a. be evergreenb. have lots of space between their branchesc. be tall enough not to see through d. be equally balanced55 what kind of person do you think murbach is?a. a person always
