Throughout J. technological Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. _41_ history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has _42_man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two-thirds of the worlds population live within 80 kilometers of the sea coast. In the modern _43_ world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive . _44_ on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of mans needs. The list of riches of the sea yet to be _45_ by mans technology is impressive. Oil and gas _46_ have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined (开采). Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large _47_ of food. The culture of fish and shellfish (贝类动物) is an ancient skill practised in the past mainly by Oriental people. Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way _48_ to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents (水流) and waves offer possible use as a source of energy. Technology is enabling man to explore ever more _49_ under the sea. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible. The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2000 the problems that prevent us from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.Reading Comprehension（50分） Whats your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember learning to walk? Or talk? The first time you heard thunder or watched a television programme? Adults seldom _50_ events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four _51_ retain(记住) any specific, personal experiences. A variety of explanations have been _52_ by psychologists for this “childhood amnesia”(儿童失忆症). One argues that the hippocampus, the region of the brain which is responsible for forming memories, does not mature _53_ about the age of two. But the most popular theory maintains that, since adults do not think like children, they cannot _54_ childhood memories. Adults think in words, and their life memories are like stories or _55_ - one event follows _56_ as in a novel or film. But when they search through their mental _57_ for early childhood memories to add to this verbal life story, they dont find any that fit the _58_. Its like trying to find a Chinese work in an English dictionary. Now psychologist Annette Simms of the New York State University offers a new _59_ for childhood amnesia. She argues that there simply arent any early childhood memories to recall. According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use _60_ spoken description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-term impressions of them into long-term memories. In other _61_, children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about _62_ - Mother talking about the afternoon _63_ looking for seashells at the beach or Dad asking them about their day at Ocean Park. Without this _64_ reinforcement（强化）, says Dr. Simms, children cannot form permanent memories of their personal experiences.50. A. recall B. resolve C. involve D. interpret 51.

In 1993, the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their horror, that their gardens had disappeared overnight. The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliffs on which they had been built. While experts were studying the problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether, sliding down the cliff and into the sea. Erosion（侵蚀）of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people, forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea. Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their homes. Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases, this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go further along the coast, shifting the problem from one area to another. The danger is likely to continue, they say, until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is. Meanwhile, if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future, apply to a house agent in one of the threatened areas on the south coast of England. You can get a house for a knockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home.65.What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face? _. A. The disappearance of hotels, houses and gardens. B. The experts lack of knowledge. C. The rising of the sea level. D. The washing-away of limestone cliffs.66. The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England _. A. will soon become a problem for people living in central England B. has now become a threat to the local residents C. is quickly changing the map of England D. can be stopped if proper measures are taken67. The experts study on the problem of erosion can _. A. lead to its eventual solution B. provide an effective way to slow it down C. help to prevent it from worsening D. warn people whose homes are in danger68. It is not feasible(可行的) to build sea defenses to protect against erosion because _. A. it is too costly and will endanger neighbouring areas B. the government is too slow in taking action C. they will be easily knocked down by waves and currents D. house agents along the coast do not support the idea (B)Americans are pound of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States? Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian（百姓的）clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. the television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity（身份）than to step out of uniform? Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible（可减税的）. They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes. Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least. Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.69. It is surprising that Americans who worship（敬仰） variety and individuality _. A. still judge a man by his clothes B. hold the uniform in such high regard C. enjoy having a professional identity D. will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform70. People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform _. A. suggests quality work B. discards his social identity C. appears to be more practical D. looks superior to a person in civilian clothes71. The chief function of a uniform is to _. A. provide practical benefits to the wearer B. make the wearer catch the pubic eye C. inspire the wearers confidence in himself D. provide the wearer with a professional identity (C)On December 3，more than 10,000 scientists, environmental activists and government officials from 187 countries met in Bali, Indonesia, which is the largest global warming conference ever held.One of the main goals of the two-week meeting is to develop a replacement for the international treaty called the Kyoto Protocol, which has been signed by 174, countries, calling for limits on the emission of greenhouse gases.Under the Kyoto Protocol, nations were legally bound to reduce greenhouse gases, but since it was signed in 2005, they have continued to increase worldwide. Of the largest greenhouse gas emitters, only Russia and Japan have agreed to follow the rules. China and Indiasecond and sixth on the listare making efforts to make cuts.The U.S signed the treaty in 1997 but has not yet agreed to follow the strict rules, which require that greenhouse gas release be reduced by 10% by 2012. U.S. officials are opposed to these mandatory（强制性的），or required, cuts in emissions. Were worrying that it would be too costly and would hurt the U.S. economy. But were not here to be a roadblock, said Harlan L. Watson, a top U.S. climate official.Even if greenhouse gases are reduced, scientists say it will take decades or longer to stop the global warming that is already underway. To help poor countries deal with rising temperatures and climate changes, the UN has developed the Adaptation Fund to help them improve farming techniques and water systems.But so far, it has only raised $67 million.The money should come from the countries most responsible and most capable, said Kate Raworth, a senior research official from the Oxfam International aid group. She listed the U.S., European Union, Japan, Australia and Canada.72. The underlined word they in Paragraph 3 refers to“_”.A. greenhouse gases B. the countries which have signed the treaty.C. people who are against the treaty D. the measures taken to reduce greenhouse gases73. By saying But were not here to be a roadblock, Harlan L. Watson wants to say that_.A. the U.S will be a roadblock to the global economy B. the U.S has realized that some action must be takenC. the U.S refused to follow the rules of the Kyoto Protocol D. the U.S thinks this conference of no importance74. According to Kate Raworth, the Adaptation Fund should come from all the following EXCEPT_.A. Japan B. European Union C. India D. Canada75. We can learn from the passage that_.A. the conference will last a fortnight B. the U.S hasnt signed the Kyoto Protocol.C. many manufacturers attended the conferenceD. the global warming will be stopped as soon as greenhouse gases are reduced Section CAAn online shoppers fear of insecurityBThe functions of the Internet - a debatable issueCThe great influence of the Internet on peoples livesDPositive effects of the InternetEThe inconvenience caused by the disorganized databaseFThe abnormal relationship between Internet users76Computers may never offer a perfect system for work and communications. Yet, in spite of the bugs that need to be worked out, there is no question that computers now shape the pattern of our activities. Almost everyone has felt the impact of change as the Internet has revolutionized the way we do things: from the way we run our daily errand to the way we relate to other human being.77_With the Internet, we can now get to information, products, and friends more quickly. With a few clicks of the mouse, we can do research on specific subjects that might have taken hours or days in a library. With online shopping, we can buy what we need more quickly and efficiently. With e-mail, we can maintain friendships as well as create new ones, without ever sitting down to write or post a letter. The Internet now binds more people around the world together through their common interests. For example, many people participate in Internet “chat”. There are informal discussions in which people type their questions and answers to each other on the computer. And unlike spoken conversations, “chat” can involve hundreds of people - all of whom are interested in the topic being discussed. The Internet has created a new kind of social life.78_But not everyone feels the Internet is improving our lives. The Web is messy in that it cannot always provided clear directions on how to
