Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question. Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneOne day in 1754, a man went to the market in Florence, Italy, and bought some meat. The shopkeeper wrapped the meat in a piece of paper and the man took it home. When he unwrapped the meat, he was surprised to see some old writing on the paper.This man was in charge of the public library, so he knew a lot about old books and old writing. He realized that the paper was a page of scientific notes.Only one man wrote like that, the librarian said to himself. It was Galileo who wrote these notes!Who was Galileo? Galileo was a famous Italian scientist. He was a man of ideas, but he was also a man of action. He made many experiments in order to find out more about the earth and the universe. Galileo believed that scientists should not only sit in universities and talk about theory; they should also make practical experiments and learn from the results.Galileo wrote down notes of all the experiments he made. After Galileos death in 1642, Viviani, one of his students, collected the notes together and put them into his own library. However, when Viviani died, nobody looked at Galileos notes any longer. For many years, people forgot about them.The librarian hurried back to the market and asked the shopkeeper where he had got the paper from. The shopkeeper led him to the house where he bought the paper from. In the house, the librarian found many more of Galileos notes. The family gave them to him.In this way, a large number of important notes about Galileos experiments were saved. 31.The librarian got Galileos notes from _D_. A the butcher B Viviani C a family living in Vivianis house D the market near Vivianis house 32.Which statement about Galileo is NOT true? A A He was full of ideas. B He did a lot of experiments. C He was an Italian. D He gave his notes to Viviani. 33.Which statement about Viviani is NOT true? C A He kept Galileos notes. B He was Galileos student. C He passed on the notes to his daughter.D He was as famous as Galileo. 34.After Vivianis death, the notes _D_. A were given to one of his friends B were left somewhere in his house C were lost D lost its value 35.It can be inferred from the story that _A_. A the family was unaware that they had Galileos notes B the librarian bought the notes C Viviani gave the notes to the family D the shopkeeper informed the librarian of the notesPassage TwoA favorite story among acoustical (声学的) experts concerns a noisy Long Island suburb where, day and night, huge trucks thundered down a freeway, jet planes roared overhead, and a pumping station maintained a low, continuous thumping. One night all mechanical sounds stopped briefly; immediately half the people in the neighborhood awoke, sat upright, and exclaimed: What was that?Americans are drowned in noise, one of the unwanted and unnecessary waste products of the twentieth century. Scientists speak of noise in decibels - units by which they measure the intensity levels of the sound waves that beat against our eardrums. The shuffling of paper in silent surroundings represents about 15 decibels; a low conversation, 40 decibels; and the sound of an automobile horn, 90 decibels. In general, sounds above 80 decibels begin to irritate the human ear. Noise also causes increased muscular tension, which at night may deprive the body of rest.Experiments have shown that 160 decibels of noise are fatal for small fur-bearing animals. Although equal exposure is not fatal to man, it may destroy hearing. Over the past thirty years the loudest sounds to which man has been exposed have increased from 120 decibels, the equivalent of the roar of a two-engine propeller plane, to 150 decibels, the blast of a four-engine jet. This is an average increase in volume of one decibel a year, and constitutes a potentially dangerous source of physical damage. 36.The story about a Long Island suburb is retold in order to show that _A_. A we may find it easier to fall asleep in noisy surroundings B contrary to popular belief, mechanical sounds are bearable C nowadays suburbs are not just as quiet as we expect D noise pollution has become a very serious problem 37.The author refers to noise as _C_. A an undesirable waste product B an unnecessary mechanical sound C a source of mental illness D a measurement of the intensity of sound waves 38.Noise may interfere with mans sleep by _B_. A causing him to have terrible dreams B distracting his attention C increasing his muscular tension D keeping him restless 39.Sounds of 160 decibels may _A_. A be the loudest man can image B do physical damage to manC cause certain small animals to die D Both B and C. 40.The authors purpose in writing this passage is to _A_. A draw our attention to the importance of controlling noise B show that man has more tolerance than animals when exposed to noise C give a brief introduction to sound measurement D illustrate that noise is a by-product of modernizationPassage ThreeIn recent years, large numbers of people are living a single life, at least temporarily, for this reason or other. However, they are often pressured to marry by their families and friends, who regard single adults as irresponsible and unfortunate. Rose and Bill talk about the frustrations and disagreements. Rose has quarreled with her family. Her parents continually ask her why she doesnt get married and have been putting pressure on Rose to find a husband. This makes Rose angry. Bill understands how Rose feels. He has also been upset about how his friends react to his single life. His women friends usually find him dates even if he doesnt want them. They introduce him to new people as the eligible bachelor. Sometimes Rose and Bill feel they might be better off financially if they each found a marriage partner. They know that two people living together and earning two salaries can afford more than a single person can. They also know about the income tax advantages that married couples enjoy. However, for the moment, each of them is committed to remaining single. Young people feel man pressures not to get married. Rose has a very good job at the bank and there is a possibility of a promotion in the near future. A promotion means a higher salary and more responsibility. She questions whether she can combine success in business with marriage. How can she fully and completely take care of a wifes duties while she can also succeed brilliantly in her office? Both demand a great amount of time and work. Bill, too, is hesitant about getting married because of his active social life. He has many friends and is out with one of them almost every night. Hoe can he ever settle down and stay home with one person? Will he lose his friends? At this point Rose and Bill are each trying to settle the questions of whether to get married or stay single.
