核心考点
试题【There are many international organizations which work to save and protect endang】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Most earthquakes occur within the upper 15 miles of the earth’s surface, but earthquakes can and do occur at all depths to about 460 miles. Their number decreases as the depth increases. At about 460 miles one earthquake occurs only every few years. Near the surface earthquakes may run as high as 100 in a month, but the yearly average does not vary much.
The extent of the disaster in an earthquake depends on many factors. If you carefully build a toy house with an erect set (坚立架), it will still stand no matter how much you shake the table. But if you build a toy house with a pack of cards, a slight shake of the table will make it fall. An earthquake in Agadir was not strong, but it completely destroyed the city. Many stronger earthquakes have done comparatively little damage. If a building is well constructed and built on solid ground, it will resist an earthquake. Most deaths in earthquakes have been due to faulty building construction or poor building sites. A third and very serious factor is panic. When people rush out into narrow streets, more deaths will result.
There is one type of earthquake disaster that little can be done about. This is the disaster caused by seismic (地震的) sea waves, or tsunamis (海啸). These are often called tidal waves, but the name is incorrect. They had nothing to do with tides. In certain areas, earthquakes take place beneath the sea. These submarine earthquakes sometimes give rise to seismic sea waves. The waves are not noticeable out at sea because of their long wave length. But when they roll into harbors, they pile up into walls of water 6 to 60 feet high. The Japanese call them “tsunamis” meaning “harbor waves”, because they reach a sizable (相当大的) height only in harbors.
Tsunamis travel fairly slowly, at speeds up to 500 miles an hour. An earthquake warning system is in use to warn all shores likely to be reached by the waves. But this only enables people to leave the threatened shores for higher ground: There is no way to stop the oncoming wave.
小题1:Which of the following can NOT be concluded from the passage?
A.The number of earthquakes is closely related to the depth.
B.Roughly the same number of earthquakes occur each year.
C.Earthquakes are impossible at depths over 460 miles.
D.Earthquakes are most likely to occur near the surface.
小题2:The destruction of Agadir is an example of       .
A.faulty building construction
B.an earthquake’s strength
C.widespread panic in earthquakes
D.ineffective instruments
小题3:According to the passage, the waves caused by submarine earthquakes are not noticeable out at sea because of       .
A.their high speed
B.the wide shores
C.their silent movements
D.their long wave length
小题4:The significance of the slow speed of tsunamis is that people may      .
A.help reduce fear
B.find ways to stop them
C.be warned early enough
D.develop warning systems
小题5:According to the passage, the number of factors that may determine the extent of the disaster in an earthquake is      .
A.two B.fiveC.four D.three

Will life in the future be better, worse or the same as now? Futurologists(未来学家)predict that life will probably be very different in 2050.
First of all, it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050. A computer will send the program directly to the television. On TV screen appear holograms(全息图), which are pictures with certain height, width and depth. We will be able to see, smell and touch the things that we see on television.
Water has become one of our most serious problems. Agriculture is changing and people are growing more fruit and vegetables to export. Demand for water will increase ten times in 2050. Some futurologists predict that water will be the cause of war if we don’t act now.
In transport, cars will run on new fuels and go very fast. A car will have computers to control its speed and there won’t be any accidents. On the other hand, space planes will take people around the earth in about three hours. People will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo by space plane in just half an hour.
In the field of technology, robots will have replaced people in factories. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere. They do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. 
Medicine technology will have conquered many diseases by 2050; we will be able to help blind and deaf people see again and hear again. Scientists have discovered how to control genes. They have already produced clones of animals and will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have. If you want all this to come true, you should study science and technology hard.
小题1:What is the main difference between today’s and 2050’s TV?

Artistic Skates
Artistic roller skates are made up of a leather boot, very strong sole plate, and a jump bar that adds extra force. The boot sits a few inches above the ankle, providing more support for the foot.
Jam Skates
Jam skates are the most different roller skates because of their special low-cut design and lack of toe stop. That’s right: there is no brake. But the original jam skate design was different, resembling an artistic skate. Jam skating is more about personal expression rather than speed skating. The free-flowing movements of jam skating have been given many names. But regardless of its name, jam skating has always been about expression and passion.
Speed Skates
A speed skate resembles a shoe. The cut of the boot is lower. Speed skates typically offer lightweight plates to reduce exhaustion for skating long distances. Jam skates have preferred speed skates because they offer a similar design and freedom of movement. The most obvious difference is that a speed skate features a toe stop, unlike a jam skate that uses a toe plug.
Rhythm Skates
Rhythm skates are similar to jam skates. The difference between them lies in the boot design. In fact, the boot design looks very similar to an artistic skate, essentially providing you with the ankle support benefits of an artistic skate, but the freedom of movement of a jam skate. If you want a skate that allows you to move to the beat, which added ankle support, the rhythm skate is the ideal choice.
小题1:Which of the following is NOT a feature of jam skates?
A.They have no brake
B.They lack a toe stop
C.They have no toe plug.
D.They have a unique, low-cut design.
小题2:If you want to skate to music, which of the following is the best choice?
A.Rhythm skates B.Jam skates C.Speed skates D.Artistic skates
小题3:Speed skates are popular with jam skates because _____.
A.they have a high boot cut
B.they allow free-flowing movement.
C.they are able to stabilize the foot
D.they can help jam skates reduce tiredness.
小题4:What is a common feature of rhythm and jam skates?
A.They both offer some support for the ankles.
B.They both have a similar boot design.
C.They are both suitable for free-flowing movement.
D.They are both about personal expression and passion.
小题5:What can you learn from the passage about jam skates?
A.The original jam skate design has hardly changed.
B.The original jam skate design was similar to an artistic skate.
C.Jam skates have gradually become a type of speed skate.
D.Jam skating has many names because it’s about expression and passion.

Have you heard of snake robots? Scientists and doctors are already using tiny snakes that coil through the human body armed with sharp surgical tools to perform operations on hearts, prostate cancer, and other diseased organs. The snake robots that carry tiny cameras, scissors and forceps, and even more advanced sensors are being developed.
The next generation of the robots will be wireless, and will explore inside your body on their own--- not attached to any cables. For now, they are powered by cables that humans control. Experts say the day is coming when some robots will roam around the body on their own. But the experts in robotics say the new creations work best when they are designed for very specific tasks.
Howie Choset has been researching and building robots, particularly snake robots. He believes that his snake robot and others like it can help reduce medical costs by making complex surgery faster and easier. Choset says his new design is smaller and more flexible than earlier models.
The size of surgical robots allows surgeons to operate with far less damage to the body, helping the patient heal faster. Choset has also built larger snake robots designed for search and rescue, or just exploration. They can climb poles and trees and then look around through a camera in the head and slither through places that humans cannot reach.
“ We sent our snake robots into these caves in the Red Sea to look for evidence of ancient Egyptian ships,” he said. “ To me, archeology is like search and rescue, but everyone has been dead for 5,000 years.”
The doctors are very excited about the potential for surgical robots to do things that humans can’t do. The variety of sensors available for surgical robots keeps expanding. As they get smaller, maybe one day they will be able to test chemicals or blood in the body, or even the electrical connections in nerves.
小题1:What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A.The doctors carry out surgery using snake robots mainly for heart disease.
B.The doctors are very satisfied with the new snake robots during surgery.
C.Snake robots are completely free of human control today.
D.Other supplementary appliances will be added to snake robots.
小题2:Which of the following is true, according to the passage?
A.Snake robots are only used in the medical field.
B.Snake robots can reduce the patients’ medical costs.
C.Scientists are uncertain about the prospects for snake robots.
D.Scientists are forced to spend a lot of time researching snake robots.
小题3:How can snake robots work best, according to the passage?
A.When they carry tiny cameras, scissors and forceps.
B.When they are operated by experienced doctors.
C.When they are given a wireless function.
D.When they are designed for particular tasks.
小题4:Why do we know about Howie Choset, according to the passage?
A.He thought snake robots of different sizes can be used for different types of surgery.
B.He thought patients’ pain had been slightly reduced with the help of snake robots.
C.He also made snake robots for search, rescue and exploration.
D.He is very interested in researching ancient Egyptian ships.
小题5:The writers attitude towards the new technology is ______.
A.optimisticB.doubtful C.objective D.negative

No one wants to look silly or do the wrong thing at a new job. It’s important to make the right impression (印象) from the first day. You will face new people. You will be in a new place. It may be difficult to know what to do. Here are seven tips to help you make it through the first days at a new job:
1. First impression is important. Make sure you make a good one. Before your first day, find out if your new job has a dress code. If so, be sure to follow it. No matter what you wear, always be neat (整洁) and clean.
2. Get to work on time. Employers value workers who come to work on time. Give yourself an extra 15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time.
3. Pay attention to introduction. One of the first things that your supervisor (主管) may do is to introduce you to co-workers. These co-workers will be important to you. They are the ones who will answer your questions when the boss isn’t around.
4. Ask plenty of questions. Make sure that your supervisor has told you what your are expected to do. If he or she has not told you your job duties, ask for a list. Set daily and weekly goals for yourself.
5. Don"t make personal phone calls. You should never make personal phone calls to your friends and family unless it"s an emergency.
6. Don’t take too long for lunch. What’s the lunch-hour policy at your new job? You can find out from your supervisor or your company’s personnel department(人事部门). For example, do people eat at their desks or does everyone take a full hour outside the workplace?
7. Never be the first one to leave. Observe how your co-workers behave around quitting (离开) time. It does no good for you to be eager to leave.
