分，共 40 分)Directions: In this part there are four passagesEach passage is followed by five and answer the questionsRead the passage and answer the questions .Then mark your answer on the answer sheetPassage OneOceanography has been defined as“The application of all sciences to the study of the sea”Before the nineteenth century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far betweenCertainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings，but he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surfaceThe first time that the question what is at the bottom of the oceans? had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposedThe engineers had to know the depth profile of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufacturedIt was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853，for information on this matterIn the 1840s，Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific OceansLater，some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the SeaThe cable was laidbut not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliableAt the early attempts， the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths，a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the seaWithin a few years oceanography was under wayIn 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition，which lasted four years and brought home thousands of samples from the seaTheir classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume reportthe last volume being published in 18951The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanographic studies take onA) an academic aspectB)a military aspectC) a business aspectD)an international aspect2It wasthat asked Maury for help in oceanographic studies.A)the American Navy B)some early jntercontinental travelers C)those who earned a living from the sea D)the company which proposed to lay an undersea cable 3The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the 1840 wasA)to make some sounding experiments in the oceans B)to collect sample of sea plants and animals C)to estimate the length of cable that was needed D)to measure the depths of the two oceans 4”Defied”in the 5th paragraph probably means“A) doubtedB)gave proof toC)challengedD)agreed to5This passage is mainly aboutA)the beginnings of oceanography B)the laying of the first undersea cable C)the investigation of ocean depths D)the early intercontinental communications Passage TwoIt has been thought and said that Africans are born with musical talentBecause music is so important in the lives of many Africans and because so much music is performed in Africa，we are inclined to think that all Africans are musiciansThe impression is strengthened when we look at ourselves and find that we have become largely a society of musical spectators(旁观)Music is important to us，but most of us can be considered consumers rather than producers of musicWe have records，television，concerts，and radio to fulfill many of our musical needsIn most situations where music is performed in our culture it is not difficult to distinguish the audience from the performers, but such is often not the case in AfricaAlban Ayipaga，a Kasena semiprofessional musician from northern Ghana， says that when his flute(长笛)and drum ensemble(歌舞团)is performing“Anybody can take partThis is true，but Kasena musicians recognize that not all people are equally capable of taking part in the musicSome can sing along with the drummers，but relatively few can drum and even fewer can play the flute along with the ensembleIt is fairly common in Africa for there to be an ensemble of expert musicians surrounded by others who join in by clapping， singing，or somehow adding to the totality of musical soundPerforming nucleus and the additional performers， active spectators，and passive spectators may be difficult to draw from our point of view6The difference between us and Africans，as far as music is concerned，is thatA)most of us are consumers while most of them are producers of music B)we are musical performers and they are semiprofessional musicians C)most of us are passive spectators while they are active spectators D)we are the audience and they are the additional perfrormers 7The word“such”(Line 6)refers to the fact thatA)music is perforated with the participation of the audience B)music is performed without the participation of the audience C)people tend to distinguish the audience from the performers D)people have records，television sets and radio to fulfill their musical needs 8The author of the passage implies that A)all Africans are musical and therefore much music is performed in Africa B)nor all Africans are born with musical talent although music is important in their lives C)most Africans are capable ofjoining in the by playing musical instruments D )most Africans perform as well as professional musicians 9The word“nucleus”(Line 1 2)probably refers to A)musicians famous in Africa B)musicians at the center of attention C)musicians acting as the core in a performance D active participants in a musical performance 10.The best title for this passage would be A、The Importance of Music to African People B、Differences Between African Music and Music of Other CountriesC、The Relationship between Musicians and Their AudienceD、A Characteristic Feature of African Musical PerformancesPassage threeWhen something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，”Well, its so-and-sos faultor“I know Im late， but its not my fault：the car broke down”It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loserYou have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However，you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situationThis is the winners key to successWinners are great at overcoming problemsFor example，if you were late because your car broke down，maybe you need to have your car examined more regularlyOr，you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers，so you could call for help when in needFor another example，if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability，find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the personAsk to work with a different person，or dont rely on the personYou should accept that the personAsk to work with a different person，or donrely on this personYou should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job wellThis is what being a winner is a11 about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matte what happensWinners dont have fewer problems in their lives；they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody elseThey are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talentsSo，stop focusing on“whose fault it is”Once you are confident about your power over bad situations， problems are just stepping stop on for success11According to the passage，winnersAdeal with problems rather than blame others Bmeet with fewer difficulties in their lives Chave responsible and able colleagues Dblame themselves rather that others12The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to AavoidBacceptCimproveDconsider13When your colleague brings about a problem，you should Afind a better way to handle the problemBblame him for his lack of responsibility Ctell him to find the cause of the problem Dask a more able colleague for help14When problems occur，winners take them as Aexcuses for their failuresBbarriers to greater power Cchallenges to their colleagues Dchances for self-development15which Of the following is the best title for the passage?AA Winners SecretBA Winners ProblemCA Winners OpportunityDA Winners Achievement Passage FourMobile office is the mumal product of economic，scientific，and social progressMobile office has become a solution that provides users with convenient, prompt, safe, reliable, and reasonably priced communications and office faculty anywhere anytime via the support of mobile interconnection platform(MIP)and its applications systemsWhen you leave your office to attend meetings or travel on business，what would happen to your business routine? Of course，faxes and e-mails would be still sent to your fax machine or e-mail box，but you cannot read them and make prompt reaction timelyWhen your clients need you to make some urgent modifications on your work and you are neither in the office nor carrying relevant documents，what can you do? Maybe you have to say“sorry”to the clientsBut, your business will be affected，the clients will be unhappy and disappointed because of your delay, and you will lose a lot of business opportunitiesIn fact，very frequently, you need to check，reply，distribute，display, modify, or read some materials when you are not in your officeYou must get out of this dilemmaThe best solution to normally handle your business anywhere anytime and not to disappoint your clients is to let your office ”move” with youThus，you can have convenient， prompt，safe，reliable，and reasonably priced communications and office faculty anywhere anytimeWith the development of communications technology, network application，and wireless interconnection，mobile office has become simpler and smaller, and even can be realized via one mobile phone with data communications functionThus，mobile office has already been put into your pocket，and office mobility has been realizedMobile office has provided people with convenient, casual working environment, but at the same time it still has some time it still has some unsatisfactory aspects such as mismatching equipment interface（接口，界面）and inadequate battery. Nevertheless，we believe that with technical progress，people can certainly overcome all kinds of difficultiesMobile office will make your career unimpeded，and will realize the dream of completely free communicationUsers will enjoy more colorful life and better working environment，and usersliving standard， working efficiency, and even enterprisesproduction efficiency will certainly be immensely raised16It can be inferred from the passage thatAmobile office is the only way by which people could enjoy prompt and safe working environment Bwith the development of science，mobile office comes to our life inevitablyCpeople had no convenient and reliable communications and office faculty before Dmobile interconnection platform and its application systems is the core of mobile office 1 7We learn from the passage that without mobile office，Ayou cannot put your business routine aside or attend meetings Byou cannot read faxes and emails when you travel on business Cyou cannot make apologies to the clients for your delayDyou cannot catch any business opportunities because ofbad working condition 1 8The passage suggests that mobile office is necessary,especially when Ayou need to make some urgent modification on your workByou need to read and reply faxes and e-mails Cyou are out ofthe office to attend meetings Dyou can put the mobile office into your pocket1 9Which of the following statement best expresses the main idea of the second paragraph?
