explorations is born with man Wherever his imagination goes man also has a strong wish to go A large part of human history is connected with the exploration of the world in which we live Again and again people have set out with surprising courage and patience to look into unknown regions and lands to see what had not yet been seen to make known the unknown With kites balloons and aircraft they left the ground to pass through the lower atmosphere Now the outer space receives their attention Why should man take the trouble of conquering space It is hard to list the specific practical benefits that will result But one knows from past experience in other areas that man will surely see and discover new things in space that will increase our scientific knowledge and this new knowledge will find its way into valuable practical uses What we learn about man himself from his experience in space and from the effects of space and the space flight environment on him will be extremely valuable The new techniques developed to carry out the exploration of space and to keep man alive in space will certainly find practical uses in everyday life in some way The areas that will benefit are manifold They include communication generation of power transportation and travel food production materials fuels and many others But to say definitely just what the practical results will be is almost impossible 41 The main idea of the first paragraph is that A man desires to explore what is unknown B man often goes wherever his dreams go C man is no longer interested in the study of the land and sea now D mans history is his exploration of the world 42 The word manifold in the second paragraph probably means A vast B various C valuable D practical 43 The author seems to be in favor of A doubting the necessity of the space exploration B the exploration of space C exploring more in space than in sea D his experience in space 44 In the last sentence of paragraph 2 the phrase the practical results refers to the results A that are obtained from experience B that can be learned as knowledge C that can be made use of D helping us make further exploration B The U S government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of earthquakes by publishing a map This map shows the changes of an earthquake in each part of the country The areas of the map where earthquakes are most likely to occur are called earthquake belt The government is spending a great deal of money and is working hard to help discover the answer to these two questions 1 Can we predict earthquakes 2 Can we control earthquakes To answer the first question scientists are looking very closely at the most active fault 断层 systems in the country such as the San Andreas fault in California A fault is a break between two sections of the earths surface These breaks between sections are the places where earthquakes occur Scientists look at the faults for changes which might show that an earthquake was about to occur But it will probably be many years before we can predict earthquakes accurately And the control of earthquakes is even farther away Nevertheless there have been some interesting developments in the fields of controlling earthquakes The most interesting development concerns the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4000 metres below the surface of the ground Shortly after this injection 注射 of water there was a small number of earthquakes Scientists have decided that the water which was injected into the rocks work like oil on each other When the water oiled the fault the fault became slippery and the energy of an earthquake was released Scientists are still experimenting at the site of these earthquakes They have realized that there is a connection between the injection of the water and the earthquake activity They have suggested that it might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big destructive earthquakes that is scientists could inject some kind of liquid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small harmless earthquakes 45 Earthquake belts are A maps that show where earthquakes are likely to occur B zones with a high probability of earthquakes C breaks between two sections of the earths surface D the two layers of earth along a fault 46 The San Andreas fault is A an active fault system B a place where earthquakes have been predicted accurately C a place where earthquakes have been controlled D the location of the Rocky Mountain 47 What did scientists learn about earthquakes at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal A They occur at about 4000 metres below ground level B The injection of water into earthquake faults prevents earthquakes from occurring C They are usually caused by the oil in the faults D Harmful earthquakes can be possibly prevented by causing small harmless earthquakes 48 What can be said about the experiments at Rocky Mountain Arsenal A They have no practical value in earthquake prevention B They are certain to have practical value in earthquake prevention C They may have practical value in earthquake prevention D The article does not say anything about their practical value in earthquake prevention C Every autumn as families across the United States get ready to send their kids to college the economics of higher education receive renewed attention College is expensive and becoming more so in the U S The situation raises two questions Why does it cost so much and how can students and their families afford it Several studies published in the past few weeks reflect on these questions The findings provide comfort to poor families First it appears that only the minority actually pay the high price A study by the US Education Departments National Center for Education Statistics found that 55 percent of college students last year received some forms of help scholarships loans 贷款 or jobs Other factors are also at work The government has increased the size of its grants 补助金 to lower income students Grants unlike loans dont have to be repaid and are awarded only to college students who have not earned a bachelors or professional degree At the same time most colleges are spending more on undergraduate education than they are collecting in tuition fees A study which is part of the Williams College Project on the Economics of Higher Education reaches the conclusion that on average colleges subsidize 资助 their students The results of these studies however leave unanswered the questions of whether educational costs are higher than they need to be Some experts argue that much of the college cost results from educational competition for fame students and facilities This puts upward pressure on tuition but many colleges feel that good fame will enable them to attract students even if they charge them more Therefore until something important changes in the marketplace costs seem likely to continue rising And American families will continue to beat down the doors of the high price college in the end 49 From the fourth paragraph of the passage we can conclude that A American families earn only a little money every year B American families pay little attention to education C American students often have to stop their studies D American colleges have different ways to help poor students 50 In the writers opinion for students from lower income families the best way is A to find a good job and make money B to borrow money from the banks C to ask for grants D to borrow money from friends 51 It can be inferred that in America A famous colleges only accept rich students B famous colleges charge their students more money C the government spends little money on education D families often break the doors of colleges 52 The writer of this passage seems to hold the opinion that A college fees rise too fast for poor families B poor people should borrow money from banks C poor people dont need to send their children to college D colleges should get more money to improve themselves D Every city in the world has taxis to take tourists to interesting places London is the only city in the world where taking a taxi is an interesting experience for tourists This is partly because of the special black cabs which are found in no other country But it is also because of the drivers themselves While British people are famous for being polite and reserved London taxi drivers are well known for their willingness to talk Some customers say that once the door shuts and the cab moves off they are a captive audience It is impossible to get the taxi drivers to stop talking Theyre self confident and free thinking says Malcolm Linskey the author of a history of taxi drivers in London They answer to nobody but themselves and that comes across in their conversation They are also expensive London has the most expensive taxis of any city in the world except Tokyo Thats why Ken Livingstone the mayor of London is planning to make taxi drivers discuss their fares with customers before they take a ride Drivers agree that their fares are expensive Thats because their black taxis cost more than other cars they say And the customer is also paying for a more driving expertise than anywhere else in the world Before someone can qualify as a London taxi driver that person has to pass a text known simply as The Knowledge This involves memorizing the name and location of every street within six miles of a point in the exact center of London The trainee must also learn the exact location of every important building within these streets Finally he or she must be able to use this knowledge to work out the shortest distance between any two destinations within this area It can take up to three years to pass The Knowledge Every day it is possible to see trainee taxi drivers on the streets of London taking careful notes of popular destinations before finding the route to their next stop Cab driving is a job often handed down in families Many taxi drivers take their children out in their spare time to memorize routes they will need to know when it is their turn to do The Knowledge The effect of this is to make London taxi drivers experts at their job They also have bigger brains Recent research by scientists at the Institute of Neurology in London found that the hippocampus the part of the brain that remembers things was larger and more developed in cab drivers They have to fit the whole of London into their heads so their brains grow bigger 53 Taking a taxi in London is an interesting experience for tourists because of the following statements except that A the drivers are talkative B the drivers are self confident and free thinking C the special black cabs cant be found in other countries D the drivers are polite and reserved 54 Taking a taxi in London is very expensive because A the black cabs are the safest B the drivers answer to nobody but themselves C the drivers are the most qualified D the drivers can discuss their fares with customers before the ride 55 It can be inferred from the passage that A The Knowledge is a test that can be done easily B many taxi drivers tend to make their children taxi drivers C London has the most expensive taxis in the world D trainee taxi drivers are not often seen on the streets 56 London cab drivers have bigger brains because A their hippocampus is larger and more developed B they are experts at their job C their heads are bigger D they have many streets and routes in their minds E People can be addicted to different things e g alcohol drugs certain foods or even television People who have such an addiction are compulsive i e they have a very powerful psychological 心理的 need that they feel they must satisfy According to psychologists many people are compulsive 强迫性的 spenders they feel that they must spend money This compulsion like most others is irrational impossible to explain reasonably For compulsive spenders who buy on credit charge accounts are even more exciting than money In other words compulsive spenders feel that with credit they can do anything Their pleasure in spending enormous amounts is actually greater than the pleasures that they get from the things they buy There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting To save money of course most people look for sales low prices and discounts Compulsive bargain hunters however often buy things that they dont need just because they are cheap They want to believe that they are helping their budgets but they are really playing an exciting game when they can buy something for less than other people they feel that they are winning Most people experts claim have two reasons for their behavior a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason It is not only scientists of course who understand the psychology of spending habits but also businesspeople Stores companies and advertisers use psychology to increase business they consider peoples need for love power or influence their basic values their beliefs and opinions and so on in the
