range of the soil temperature can be over 75 Furthermore during the summer there are few clouds in the sky to protect plants from the sun s ray Another problem is the fact that there are frequently strong winds which drive small sharp particles of sand into the plants tearing and damaging them The most difficult problem for all forms of plant life however is the fact that the entire annual rainfall occurs during a few days or weeks in spring Grasses and flowers in desert survive from one year to the next by existing through the long hot dry season in the form of seeds These seeds remain inactive unless the right amount of rain falls If no rain falls or if insufficient rain falls they wait until the next year or even still the next Another factor that helps these plants to survive is the fact that their life cycles are short By the time that the water from the spring rains disappears just a few weeks after it falls such plants no longer need any The perennials have special features which enable them to survive as plants for several years Thus nearly all desert perennials have extensive root systems below ground and a small shoot system above ground The large root network enables the plant to absorb as much water as possible in a short time The small shoot system on the other hand considerably limits water loss by evaporation Another feature of many desert perennials is that after the rainy season they lose their leaves in preparation for the long dry season just as trees in wetter climates lose theirs in preparation for the winter This reduces their water loss by evaporation during the dry season Then in next rainy season they come fully alive once more and grow new branches leaves and flowers just as the grasses and flowers in desert do A 16 Ordinary plants are unable to survive in the desert mainly because of the changeable weather A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned职称英语 C 17 Grasses and flowers in desert are able to survive because they stay in the form of seeds to wait for the right amount of water to come A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned B 18 Grasses and flowers in the desert whose life cycles are short shows their ability to adapt to the quick disappearance of rainwater there after it falls in spring A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned B 19 Winter is the toughest season for grasses and flowers to survive in desert A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned B 20 The shoot system of perennials can help the plants absorb less of the sun s ray A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned 21 The theme of the second last paragraph is why the perennials can survive as plants for several years A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned 22 Desert perennials lose their leaves after the rainy season just as trees lose theirs in wetter climates before winter arrives but the reasons for this feature are different A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned 第 3 部分 概括大意与完成句子 第 23 30 题 第题 1 分 共 8 分 新闻记者下面这篇短文后有 2 项测试任务 1 第 23 26 题要求从所给的 6 个选取项 中为第 2 5 段选择 1 个正确的小标题 2 第 27 30

consumers I think we should maintain open and compatible standards and create features particular to Sony in other words the system should be open but the services could be distinctive like restaurants The menus may be alike but the services are different Being president of Sony Corporation I am often asked by this question With digital cameras and digital camcorders 摄像机 what will be the future of digital imaging In 1997 optimists see non traditi0nal cameras digital cameras achieving sales of one million units in Japan We are selling a new digital camera Even though the price is quite high it is selling well And laser and ink jet printers have improved greatly for printing colour pictures But traditional pictures are still more popular than those from today s electronic cameras Because of that traditional cameras and digital cameras will co exist for a long time 职称英语 If you want me to sum up Sony s vision for the next few years all I can say is that there will be a big change We can run our business at Sony based on today s technologies which means the digitalisation of audio and video But beyond 2000 there will be a big change and we should be prepared This will be the network environment So we are preparing for a big change in technologies and for a change in the way of thinking as well We celebrate our 50 anniversary this year 1997 and this coincides 与 一致 with what I call the transistor cycle which has also lasted fifty years Since we started using transistors in radios the electronic industry has undergone a big evolution But a new technology wave started with the invention of the microprocessor about 14 or 15 years ago My theory is that each business cycle lasts 50 years with one cycle overlapping 重叠 another The information age started 15 years ago with microprocessors and for another 10 years it will be in the takeoff stage Like an airport a 747 approaching the end of the runway is still gathering speed So for information technology for another five to seven years there will not be so much change only increasing speed But after that you fly What that will mean I cannot foresee I m just preparing for the takeoff stage while I m president The job of the next generation will be more important I m just in between C 31 Why does the president of Sony Corporation mention restaurants in the first paragraph A To praise Japanese restaurants for

saying very seriously Now however doctors have begun to investigate laughter and the effects it has on the human body They have found evidence that laughter really can improve people s health Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart rate blood pressure breathing and muscles It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise It increases blood pressure the heart rate and the rate of breathing it also works several groups of muscles in the face the stomach and even the feet If laughter exercises the body it must be beneficial Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be capable of reducing the effect of pain on the body In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs The group which tolerated the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce endorphins 内啡肽 in the brain These are natural chemicals which diminish both stress and pain There is also some evidence to suggest that laughter helps the body s immune system that is the system which fights infection In an experiment one group of students watched a funny video while another group served as the control group in other words a group with which to
