19、 some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D .You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Passage OnePopulationtends to grow at an exponenti

20、al(指数的)rate. This means that they progressivelydouble. As an example of this type of growth rate take one penny anddouble every day for one month. After the first week, you would have only 64 cent, but after the fourth week you would haveover a million dollars.This helps explain why the population h

21、as come on“all ofa sudden” took fromhe beginning ofhuman1ife to the year 1830 for the population of the earth to reach one billion. Thatrepents(缓慢进行) a time span ofatleasttwo millionyears. Then it took from 1830to 1930forworldpopulationto reach 2 billion. The nextbillionwasadded by1960 only thirty y

22、ears and in 1975 world population reached 4 billion which isanother billion people in only fifteen years. World population isincreasing at a rate of 9, 000perhour, 220,000 perday and 80million per year.This is not only due to higher birth rate, but to lower death rate as well. The number ofbirths ha

23、s not declined at the same rate as the number of deaths.Some countries such as Columbia, Thailand, Morocco, Costa Rica and the Philippines aredoublingtheirpopulation abouteverytwenty-oneyears with a growth rate of 3.3 percent a year or more. The United States is doubling its population about very ei

24、ghty-seven years, with a rate of 0.8 percent per year. （81）Every time a population doubles, the country involved needs twice as much of everything, including hospitals, schools, resources,food and medicines to care for its people.

31、g information about them. Are these talentsprogrammed into the brain? In some of the newest and most controversialresearch inneurophysiology(神经生理学), it hasbeensuggestedthatwhen it comestothe brain males are specialists while women are generalists. But one knows that,if anything this meansin terms of

32、 the abilities of the twosexes. Engineering is both Visual and spatial and its true that there are relatively few women engineers. But women become just as skilled as men at shooting a rifle or drivinga car task that involve visual-spatial skills. They also do equally well at programming a computer,

33、 which is neither visual nor spatial. Women do, however, seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves. We all know men for whom machines seem to be extensions of their identity.（82）A woman is more likely to see her car,rifleor computer as a useful tool but not in itselffascinating.46

37、y to see theircharmingor interesting aspects. D. Because they rarely use machines such as cars,rifles, computers, etc. Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Passage ThreeThe US. government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of earthquakes by publishing a map. Thi

38、s map shows the chances of an earthquake in each part of thecountry. （83）Theareasofthemapwhereearthquakesaremostlikelytooccurare called earthquake “belt”.The government is,spending a great deal money and is working hard to help discover the answer to these two questions: l. Can we predict earthquake

39、? 2. Can we control earthquakes?To answer the first question, scientists are looking very closely at the most activefault(断层)systemsin thecountry suchastheSanAndreasfault in California, afault isbreakbetween two sections of theearths surface. These breaks between sections are the place where earthqu

40、ake occurs. Scientists look at the faults for changes that might showthat an earthquakewas about to occurs. But it will probably be many years before we can predict earthquakes accurately. And the control of earthquakes is evenfarther away. Nevertheless, there have been some interesting developments

41、 in the field of controlling earthquakes. The most interesting development concerns the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes. Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4000 meters below surfaceof the ground. Shortlyafterthisinjectionofwater, there were asmallnumber ofearthquakes. Scientists have decide

42、d that the water which was injected intorocks works like oil on each other. When the water“oiled”the fault, the fault becameslippery and the energyofanearthquake was released. Scientists are still experimenting at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a connection between i

43、njectionofthewaterandtheearthquakeactivity. Theyhavesuggestedthat mightbe possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big destructive earthquakes, that is, scientists could inject some kind of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes.

44、 51. Earthquake belts are.A. maps that show whereearthquakes are likely to occurB. zones with a high probability ofearthquakesC. breaks between two sections of the earths surfaceD. the two layers ofearthalong a fault52.

They occur at bout 4000 meters below ground levelB. The injection of water into earthquake faults preven

46、ts 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 earthquake.54. What can be said about the experiments at Rocky Mountain Arsenal?A. They have no practical value in earthquake prevention. B. T

47、hey may have practical value inearthquake prevention. C. They are certain to have practical value in earthquake prevention. D. he article does not say anything about their practical value in earthquake prevention.55. What is the most appropriate title for the passage?A. Dangers of Earthquake B. Eart

49、mber ofa huntinggroup. His killing weaponhasturnedinto aharmlessfootballandhispreyinto a goalmouth. Ifhisaim isaccurateand he scoresa goal, heenjoys the hunters triumph ofkilling his prey. To understand how this transformation has taken place we must briefly look back at our forefathers. They spent

50、over a million years evolving(进化) as Cooperative hunters.

Their improvedintelligence, so vitalto their oldhunting life wasputto anewusethat of controllingand domesticating(驯养)their prey. The hunt became suddenly out of date.

52、The food was there on the farms, awaiting their needs. The risks and uncertainties of the hunt were no longer essential for survival. (85)The skills and thirst for hunting remained,however,and demanded newoutlets. Hunting for sport replaced hunting for necessity. This new activity involved allthe or

53、iginal huntingsequences(后果),but theaim ofthe operationwas no longerto avoid starvation. Instead the sportsmen set off to test their skill against prey that was no longer essential to their survival. To be sure, the kill may have been eaten, but there were other purposes, much simpler of obtaining a
