9、early 1950s the researchers who produced the first clad glass optical fibers were not thinking of using them for communications. 【 C1 】 H, fiber optics was already awell-established commercial technology when the famous paper by Kao and Hockham, 【 C2】 (claim)the use of low-loss optical fibers for co

10、mmunication, appeared in 1966. The first low-loss silica fiber was described in 【 C3】 which appeared in October of 1970. The date ofthis publication is sometimes【 C4】 (cite)as the beginning of the era of fiber communication.Although this development did receive 【 C5】 (consider)attention in the resea

11、rch communityat the time, it was far from inevitable that a major industry would evolve.The technological barriers appeared formidable because there were serious doubts as to【 C6】 whthese fiber components could ever be produced economically enough, but the marketpotential was very significant. 【 C7】

12、 (consequence), research and development activityexpanded rapidly, and a number of important issues were 【 C8】 reduring the early 1970s.During the middle and late 1970s, the rate of progress towards marketable products accelerated as the emphasis【 C9】 (shift)from research to engineering. Fibers with

13、 losses【 C10 】app the Rayleigh limit of 2 dB/km at a wavelength of 0. 8 科 m were produced.By 1980 improvement in component performance, cost, and reliability led to major commitments on the part of telephone companies.Part N Reading Comperhension Section AA collision between an aircraft and one or m

14、ore birds is termed a bird-strike. Pilots sometimes record a birdstrike while at cruising altitudes, but most of them happen when an aircraft is relatively close to the ground, usually in proximity to an airport and during the circling, descent to land or take-off phases of a flight.Birdstrikes may

15、cause significant damage to an aircraft and/or, if the birds are ingested into a jet engine, a significant and sudden loss of power. If this were to happen during take-off or initial climb of a fully loaded passenger aircraft the results could be catastrophic-loss of the aircraft and the lives of th

16、ose on board. Any bird is a potential hazard to aircraft and this is especially true as bird numbers and bird size increase.Unfortunately airports themselves can be attractive to birds-rodents, insects and other small animals are a food source often found in flat grassed areas such as the runway str

17、ips. Even so, this problem can be reduced by careful habitat management or bird harassment techniques practised by airport maintenance and safety personnel.Care needs to be taken by local authorities in deciding the location of rubbish tips, or when permitting other land uses that may be attractive

18、to birds in this way. Of course these effects cannot always be anticipated with certainty since birds such as gulls have been recorded as travelling 50 kilometres or more from their roosting area to an attractive food source.Local authority planning schemes often apply strict controls on development

19、s such as abattoirs, cattle feed lots, grain handling, piggeries, canals and marina developments, fish farms, and suchlike. In most cases these uses will not be permitted without a full environmental study. That study should be required to deal with the question of likely bird hazards if the propose

20、d location is in proximity to an airport.In some instances it may be necessary to consider ways of managing a particular land use in order to reduce its attractiveness to birds, for example the adoption of land-fill measures at garbage tips, or enclosed rather than open-air activity. Specialist orni

21、thological opinion may be necessary. In such cases it may not be possible to implement immediate changes in land use, but this should not inhibit the adoption of long-term measures which are designed to achieve this. Summary:A collision between an aircraft and one or more birds is known as a bird st

22、rike. It usually happens when an aircraft is close【 A1 】 , and may result in significant damage of the aircraft or loss of the aircraft and【 A2】 of passengers and crew if they occur during take-off or initial climb. Because birds can find plenty food in flat grassed areas, airports are especially at

23、tractive to birds. However, the danger can be minimized by 【 A3】 . Local authorities need to take care whendeciding on 【 A4】 It is suggested that a full environmental study should be made before making plans of developments on the land in proximity to an airport. Local authorities should get advice

24、from specialists and take 【 A5】 in order to bring about changes in land use.Section BResources can be said to be scarce in both an absolute and relative sense: the surface of the Earth is finite, imposing absolute scarcity: but the scarcity that concerns economists is the relative scarcity of resour

25、ces for different uses. Materials used for one purpose can not at the same time be used for other purposes: if the quantity of an input is limited, the increased use of it in one manufacturing process must cause it to become less available for other uses.The cost of a product in terms of money may n

26、ot measure its true cost to society. The true cost of, say, the construction of a supersonic jet is the value of the schools and refrigerators that will never be built as a result. Every act of production uses up some of society's available resources: it means the foregoing of an opportunity to

27、produce something else. In deciding how to use resources most effectively to satisfy the wants of the community, this opportunity cost must ultimately be taken into account.In a market economy the price of a good and the quantity supplied depend on the cost of making it, and that cost, ultimately, i

28、s the cost of not making other goods. The market mechanism enforces this relationship. The cost of, say, a pair of shoes is the price of the leather, the labor, the fuel, and other elements used in producing them. However, the price of these inputs, in turn, depends on what they can produce elsewher

29、e if the leather can be used to produce handbags that are valued highly by consumers, the prices of leather would be correspondingly higher.61 This passage mainly discusses the finiteness and value of materials.A TUREB FALSE62 The cost of a product in terms of money measures its true cost to society

30、.A TUREB FALSE63 The relationship between production and resources is that production reduces the amount ofavailable resources.A TUREB FALSE64 What determines the price of goods in a market economy?65 Using land for a house and for a park, which one best reflects a cost to society as defined inthe p

31、assage?Section CFew words are more commonly used in our modern world than the word modern itself. The modernity of manufactured articles, of institutions, of attitudes, of works of art is constantly brought to our attention. We ourselves may well be judged by whether we are modern or not: indeed, ma

32、ny people go to considerable lengths to make quite certain that they will be accepted as modern-modern in their dress, their behavior, their beliefs. And yet, we may ask, must earlier generations not have felt precisely the same? Surely men throughout history must have recognized themselves as moder

33、n. Surely innovators like Julius Caesar, Peter the Great or Oliver Cromwell saw themselves as breaking with the past, as establishing a new order. Must they not also have shared our awareness of the significance of what is modern? What is modern is distinct from what belongs to the past and men in e

34、arlier times must have experienced this sense of distinctiveness. People cannot escape, and never have been able to escape, an awareness of change. Reflection will tell us that our awareness of change, our sense of distinctiveness, is very different from that of our predecessors. Change for us is mo

35、re, much more, than the change brought about by the passing of time, by important events or by the actions of outstanding individuals or groups of people. We make use of change and are ourselves a part of a process of change. Change for us has become modernization and modernization implies both dire

36、ction and consciousness. Change is something we seek, something we attempt to control and something that has no end.Our "modern" consciousness of change and this desire to direct change began with the Industrial Revolution. The term revolution is usually applied to a historical event that

37、causes a major change in thought, life styles, and identity. We can normally speak of a time before the revolution and a time after the revolution. But the Industrial Revolution, although it had a beginning, has never come to an end. It is a process not yet stopped. It is a process which affects mor

38、e and more people in more and more ways. We may argue that it is a process directed by humans. The whole process is, as yet, beyond control of any particular individual or group.We can decide the direction of modernization to some extent but we cannot decide to halt it. This has led to a disturbing

39、situation. What we boast of as modern or up to date today, will be old-fashioned or out of date tomorrow. The noisy insistence that something is modern often conceals fear of the knowledge that it will inevitably soon be superseded. Again, the very fact that modernization has one direction only and

40、involves every member of society permits only two attitudes: acceptance or rejection. The desire to change or modify the world we live in implies acceptance, since the world is a world of change. Rejection of modernization may, therefore, lead to a sense of the world as unreal and meaningless, and t

41、his, in turn, to a breakdown, either individual or social.66 The author believes that today people are often assessed by their.67 People cannot escape, and never have been able to escape, .68 According to the author, modernization is a process that.69 What does the passage say about the Industrial R

42、evolution? .A Unlike other revolutions, it was an event without a fairly clear end.B Unlike other revolutions, it did not bring about major social changes.C It was not a revolution in the true sense of the word. D Its influence was limited to industry and economy.70 With little change of meaning, th

43、e phrase, as yet, in Line 7, Paragraph 2, could be replacedby.A. Therefore B. However C. Already D. StillSection DAlthough few would deny that it's better to be rich than poor, for some people the quest for money is so all-consuming that it extinguishes all other aspects of life.The cause of the

44、 compulsion to make enormous sums of money varies with the individual, but often money is a substitute for something a person's life lacks.(74)To some, money means security. To some, it means power. To others it means they are going to be able to buy love, and to a fourth group it means competit

45、ion and winning the game. The belief that money can produce these things often leads to insomnia, heart attacks and problems with a spouse or children.A tremendous need for power is invariably the bottom line for those driven to make a lot of money. The bigger the pile, the more powerful they think

46、they will feel. Parents and family background also influence a person's pursuit of money. Many people who grew up poor and then made a fortune live in fear that they will lose it. Others strive for money to compete with their wealthy, successful parents. They want to be successful at any price.

47、They do not feel they should enjoy what they have earned.(75)Making money foNts own sake can be addicting like high-stakes gambling. Some very wealthy people work so many hours, so hard and at such an intense pace that they totally neglect themsekes. They don't eat right. They don't sleep ri

48、ght. They just act as if they were poor, as if they were struggling to make a dime.Many wealthy people are driven by the need for approval. But they may go out of their ways not to appear wealthy out of fear that they may receive less support from others.Obsession with money is a man's problem,

49、but with the ranks of female executives growing, the feverish quest for money is becoming more of "equal-opportunity" problem. In some ways, women may have the greatest conflict with making money. In society's eyes, financial achievement is not fully satisfying for women. They must als

50、o be successful as nurturers.71 What is money in the author's point of view?72 What are the probable results of the wrong belief about money?73 What is the bottom line for those driven to make a lot of money?7475Error CorrectionDemographic indicators show that Americans in the postwar period wer

51、e more eager than ever to establish families. They quickly brought down the age at marriage for both men and women and brought the birth rate to a twentieth century height M1 after more than a hundred years of a steady decline, producing the"baby boom."【M2 】 These young adults established

52、a trend of early marriage and relatively largefamilies that went for more than two decades and caused a major but temporary 【M3 】 reversal of longterm demographic patterns. From the 1940s through the early 1960s, Americans married at a high rate and at a younger age than their M4 Europen counterpart

53、s. 【M5】 Less noted but equally more significant, the men and women who formed M6 families between 1940 and 1960 nevertheless reduced the divorce rate after a 【M7 】 postwar peak: their marriages remained intact to a greater extent than did that ofM8 couples who married in earlier as well as later dec

54、ades. Since the United States 【M9 】 maintained its dubious distinction of having the highest divorce rate in the world, the temporary decline in divorce did not occur in the same extent in Europe. 【M10 】 Contrary to fears of the experts, the role of breadwinner and homemaker was not abandoned.Part V Translation Section B 86.我劝他放弃计划，可他不听。(in vain ,倒装结构)87. 任何情况下你都不要去碰它。(under any circumstances)88. 只要不晚，我不介意你延期做出决定。(delay)89. 两名运动员虽都未进入决赛，但都表现的很好。(neither, whom从句)90. 我自己是不会去电影院的，除非这是一部我真正想看的影片。(unless)Part VI IQ Test91.
