LivelyIV阅读理解 （共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出最佳选项。ASome scientists say that animals in the ocean are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings. The noise that affect 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 ninety-five would have the same effect.Some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales.A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that loud 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.Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to 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 suspect that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.56. According to the passage, which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea creatures?A. The man-made noises.B. The noises made by themselves.C. The sound of earthquakes.D. The sound of the ice-breaking.57. Which of the following is discussed in the second paragraph?A. Different places with different types of noises.B. The very human ears sensitive to all types of noises.C. The same noise measured differently on land and in the ocean.D. The ocean animals reaction to noises.58. As to the influence of noises on whales, which of the following statements is true?A. They are deaf to noises.B. Noises at a certain level may hurt them.C. They are easily confused by noises.D. Noises will limit their ability to reproduce.59. We can know from the passage that many scientists think that the noise limit of one hundred twenty decibels would_.A. prevent them from doing their research workB. benefit them a lot in their research workC. do good to their healthD. increase the industrial output60. According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future?A. They will try their best to decrease noise.B. They will work hard to cut down noise pollution.C. They will study the effect of different noises.D. They will protect animals from harmful noises.BEvery human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to get rid of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problemhow to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which uses not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no fuel is needed to make the campus six buildings comfortable.Some parts of most modern buildingstheaters and offices as well as classroomsare more than sufficiently（足够）heated by people and lights and sometimes must be airconditioned even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing it is called“heat recovery”. A few modern buildings recover heat, but the Universitys system is the first to recover heat from buildings and reuse it in others.Along the way, Pitt has learned a great deal about some of its producers. The harder a student studies the more heat his body gives off. Male students send out more heat than female students and the larger a student, the more heat he produces. It is tempting to conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hard-working overweight male genius（天才）.61. Which of the following is true of the heating system of the Johnstown campus? The heat is supplied by_.A. human bodies, other heat sending objects, and fuelB. both human bodies and other heat sending objectsC. both human bodies and fuelD. human bodies62. The technique of heat recovery is used_.A. to produce a special form of air-conditioningB. to provide heat for the hot water systemC. to find out the source of heatD. to collect and reuse heat63. Which of the following persons would produce the least amount of heat?A. A thin male who studies hard.B. A fat female who studies hard.C. A fat male who does not study hard.D. A thin female who does not study hard.64. A good title for the passage would be_.A. MODERN BUILDINGS HEAT SYSTEMB. A NEW HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM IN PITTSBURGHC. A STRANGE OBJECT IN HEATING SYSTEMD. RECOVERY OF BODYS HEATC For a small town, Manhattan, Kansas has some big surprise. And one of them is the Holiday Inn Hotel, with rooms built around a swimming pool and a friendly family atmosphere. The Holiday Inn is where Manhattan people often go for a special party, or a night out. A lot of them choose to eat in the brightly lit restaurant near the pool. And many of them will be served by Ellen Logan, who has worked as a waitress here for more than two years. Ellen, like most of the waitresses, is also a student. She comes from Nebraska, hut shes planning one day to be a veterinary surgeon, and to care for small animals. But in order to support herself at college, she works twenty hours a week at the Holiday Inn. Ellen soon learned what every waitress finds out. Your best friend has a good pair of shoes. She paid fifty-five dollars for hers, much more than she would usually spend. Shes discovered something else, too. You dont have to know much about food to be a good waitress, but you do have to know a lot about people. A lot of business people always stay here when they come to Manhattan, she explains. They like you to recognize them and remember their favorite dishes. But some couples come for a night out together. They just want to be left alone. Then there are people who cant make up their minds. They look down the menu and say What do you suggest? So I ask them how hungry they are. If they say Not very, I suggest the salad bar, with soup, salad, bread and a fruit Kansas Strip Steak, with potatoes or rice. You get salad and bread as well; its very nice. Really- good value. Ellen may get tired sometimes, but at least shes learning too much about people. Shell probably make a good animal doctor, but if she finds she doesnt like it after all, she can always become a psychiatrist(精神病专家) instead.65. A good title for this passage is . A. Ellen Logan at the Holiday Inn B. American Holiday Inn C. A Special Holiday Inn Hotel in Manhattan D. How to Deal with People 66. The words a veterinary surgeon mean . A. an animal doctor B. an animal trainer C. a hotel manager D. a food expert 67. From the passage we can infer that . A. waitresses in the Holiday Inn are all students B. waitresses are required to buy a good pair of shoes before they go to work C. waitresses should be familiar with the food there D. it is more important for the waitresses to know much about people than food 68. From the passage we get to know that . A. waitresses have to deal with all kinds of people except couples B. the Holiday Inn hotel is a good hotel except the place it lies C. Ellen Logan may get tired of the job sometimes because her feet gets tired often D. Ellen Logan will help the people who arent sure which foods to choose DSome Chinese shops have stopped selling Japanese goods in protest against Tokyos approval （同意）of a school history book they say whitewashes Japans militaristic past. It was not clear how many Chinese stores had stopped selling Japanese products, but one association official told Reuters that the boycott had begun in Shanghai, the countrys business center, and the northeast city of Shenyang. Chinese protests against Japans bid for a permanent seat in the U.N. Security Council. Millions of Chinese have already signed an online demand against giving Japan a permanent seat. South Korea also has criticized the Japanese text book decision. The Korean English-language newspaper Korea Times ran an article on Monday criticizing that action. It said:A civic（市民的） education text even has a picture of Tokto(独岛 ) as Japanese district on its cover. We cannot help but wonder how many countries in the world would be teaching their children in such wrong words. It went on to say: The country is already a global power and should show regional leadership, not by force but by moral superiority. Tokyo doesnt appear to be reaching forward in this direction.69. From the passage, the word whitewash in the first paragraph probably means . A. use something for painting B. say some good words to hide the errors, faults C. mix white chalk with water D. make somebody beautiful by making up70. How many cities which led a boycott of the goods are listed in the passage? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 71. Which of the following statement is TRUE? A. The Chinese led a boycott because Japans bid for a permanent seat in the U.N. Security Council. B. Shenyang is the business center of China. C. Japan nowadays shows its regional leadership by moral superiority. D. There has been much argument over an island between Japan and South Korea.72. Which of the following can be the proper title of the news? A. Chinese and Korean Displeasure B. China, South Korea and Japan C. The Reform of U. N. D. A New History TextbookE The following table shows some results of a survey in which 800 Japanese school pupils were asked to give their impr
