共用题干 第二篇 Across the English Channel To swim across the English Channel takes at least nine hours.Its a hard work and it makes you short of breath.To fly over the Channel takes only twenty minutes(as only as youre not held up at the airport),but its an expensive way to travel.You can travel by hovercraft if you dont mind the noise,and that takes forty minutes.Otherwise you can go by boat,if you dreams of being able to drive to France in your own car.Not possible,you say.Well wait a minute.People are once again considering the idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge. This time,the Greater London Council is looking into the possibility of building a Channel link straight to London.A bridge would cost far more than a tunnel, but you would be able to go by rail or by car on a bridge,whereas a tunnel would provide a rail link only. Why is this idea being discussed again?Is Britain becoming more conscious of the need for links with Europe as a result of joining the EEC（欧共体）?Well, perhaps. The main reason, though,is that a tunnel or bridge would reach the twenty square kilometers of Londons disused dockland（船坞地）.A link from London to the continent would stimulate trade and re-vitalize（使重新具有活力）the port, and would make London a main trading center in Europe. With a link over the Channel,you could buy your fish and chips in England and be able to eat them in France while they are still warm!Channel link would_________.A:allow us to by fish and chips in FranceB:make the journey from Europe to England dangerous but easier and fasterC:decrease more trade for London's dockyardsD:make London more prosperous again
共用题干Searching for Smiles1 Ask most people anywhere in the world what they want out of life and the reply will probably be:"to be happy."Ed Deiner,an American psychology professor,has spent his whole professional life studying what makes people happy,comparing levels of happiness between cultures and trying to find out exactly why we enjoy ourselves.2 Many people would say that this question does not need an answer.But Professor Deinerhas one anyway."If you're a cheerful,happy person,your marriage is more likely to last,and you're more likely to make money and be successful at your job.On average,happy people have stronger immune（免疫的）systems, and there is some evidence that they live longer."3 So who are the world's happiest people?It depends on how the word is defined.There is individual happiness,the sense of joy we get when we do something we like.But there isalso the feeling of satisfaction we get when we know that others respect us and approve of how we behave.According to Professor Deiner,the Western world pursues individual happiness while Asia prefers mutual satisfaction.4 "In the West, the individualistic（个人主义的）culture means that your mood matters much more than it does in the East.People ask themselves,what can I do that's fun orinteresting?They become unhappy when they can't do any of these things.If you ask people from Japan or China if they are happy,they tend to look at what has gone wrong in their lives.If not much has gone wrong,then they are satisfied."5 People from Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries had the happiest culture,Professor Deiner found."The biggest cultural difference is to do with pride and shame.Hispanic（西班牙语言的）cultures report much more pride and much less shame than others."6 Income also made a big difference to people's happiness,but only at the lowest levels.Average income earners in the US were much happier than people in poverty.But millionaires were only a little bit happier than people on average incomes.It seems that money makes us happy when we have enough to feel secure.7 But can we be too happy? "You get people who are actually happy,but they think happiness is so important that they try to be even happier.This desire to be always happy isa product of individualism,where the emphasis is on you individually,your emotions and feeling good.People can end up feeling unhappy because ordinary happiness is not good enough for them."According to Professor Deiner,some people feel unhappy because they cannot appreciateA:a questionB:ordinary happinessC:individualismD:cultural differencesE:muchF:illnesses
共用题干The Mysteries of NazcaIn the desert of Peru,300 kilometers from Lima,one of the most unusual artworks in the world has mystified（迷惑）people for decades.__________ (46) But from high above, these marks are huge images of birds,fish,seashells,all beautifully carved into the earth.The Nazca lines are so difficult to see from the ground that they weren't discovered until the 1930s, when pilots spotted them while flying over the area. In all,there are about 70 different human and animal figures on the plain,along with 900 triangles,circles,and lines.Researchers have figured out that the lines are at least 1 ,500 years old,but their purpose is still a mystery. ____________(47)However,it would probably be very tricky to land a spaceship in the middle of pictures of dogs and monkeys.In the 1940s,an American explorer named Paul Kosok suggested that the drawings are a chronicle （记录）of the movement of the stars and planets.__________(48) Later, an astronomer tested his theory with a computer,but he couldn't find any relation between the lines and movements in space.Another explanation is that the lines may have been made for religious reasons.British researcher Tony Morrison investigated the customs of people in the Andes Mountain and learned that they sometimes pray by the side of the road.It's possible that in the past,the lines of Nazca were created for a similar purpose. __________(49)But the local people have never constructed anything this big.Recently,two other scientists,David Johnson and Steve Mabee,have speculated that lines could have been related to water. Nazca is one of the driest places in the world and receives only 2cm of rain every year. While Johnson was searching for ancient water sources in the area,he noticed that some waterways built by ancient people were connected with the lines.Johnson believes that the Nazca lines are a giant map of the underground water in the area.________(50)__________（50）A:Other scientists are now searching for evidence to prove this.B:A Swiss writer named Erich Von Daniken wrote that the Nazca lines were designed as a landing place for UFOs.C:Scholars differ in interpreting the purpose of the designs.D:The largest pictures may have been the sites for special ceremonies.E:Seen from the ground,it looks like lines scratched into the earth.F:He called Nazca"the largest astronomy book in the world".
共用题干第三篇 Nuclear Power and Its DangerNqclear power's danger to health,safety,and even life itself can be summed up in one word:radiation.Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it,partly because it cannot be detected by human senses.It can't be seen or heard,or touched,or tasted,even though it may be all around us.There are other things like that.For example,radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them,sense them,without a radio receiver.Similarly,we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.At very high levels,radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells in vital or-gans.But even the lowest level of radiation can do serious damage.There is no level of radiation that is completely safe.if the radiation does not hit anything important,the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit,and if they are killed outright.Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged,and if they reproduce themselves,you may be in trouble.They reproduce them-selves in a deformed way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation.Serious damage can be done with-out the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred.A person can be irradiated and feel fine, then die of cancer five,ten,or twenty years later as a result.Or a child can be born weak or liable to serious illness as result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.Radiation can hurt us.We must know the truth.Which of the following can be best inferred from the passage?A:The importance of protection from radiation cannot be over-emphasized.B:The mystery about radiation remains unsolved.C:Cancer is mnainly caused by radiation.D:Radiation can hurt those who are not aware of its danger.

共用题干Save PandasWith the Switzerland-based World Wildlife Fund(WWF),China is making a concerted and dedicated effort to save the endangered pandas.The results,officials here in Chengdu indicate,are mixed but encouraging.A clear disappointment is the failure to breed pandas in captivity,necessary if their decreasing numbers are to be replaced.Another failure has been the incapability to find a natural,readily available food to replace the arrow bamboo. Despite these failures,success has come on two fronts.One achievement has been the physical rescue effort.Some pandas have been kept alive by salting（空投）the mountains with tons of cooked meat , which pandas will eat as a substitute for bamboo,and by the planting of new bamboo in isolated areas.Animals in some Sichuan areas have been rescued by local peasants and given emergency treatment by animal doctors.A second achievement is a massive fund-raising effort.Publicity about the pandas plight has resulted in a new$100,000 emergency allocation by the WWF and independent fund drives both in China and abroad.In spite of this support,there have been conflicts in the panda relief program.One important problem is the difficulty Peking is having balancing the recommendations of environmentalists with China's ambitious goal of agricultural and industrial modernization.Wolong is but one example of this difficulty.This 494,000-acre preserve was declared a protected area in 1975.Yet 1,800 people,mostly Tibetans,still live in the preserve,logging trucks still roll down the narrow mountain roads,and blasting work still goes on at the site of a new 160,000-kilowatt hydroelectric plant just six miles away.This all means that the pandas'fight for survival will not be an easy one,even with the concerted effort of man.For in the end,even if they can survive the dangers of the wild,they must still contend with man himseff.Efforts to save the endangered pandas____＿.A:have failed completely B:have proven highly successfulC:have met with setbacks but brought hope D:have received no response from the scientists
共用题干第三篇Saving MoneyWhere you save your money often depends on what you are saving for. If you are saving to buy a dictionary or to go to a concert,then probably keep your money somewhere in your room.If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip,where would you save your money?One place to save money is the bank.Putting your money in a savings account will help your money earn more money. If you put your money in a piggy bank（猪形储蓄罐）, one year later you'll still have the same amount of money you put in?If you put your money in a savings account,one year later,you'll have more money than you put in.Why?When you keep your money in a bank,your money earns interest.Interest is the amount of money a bank pays you to use your money.The bank uses your money(and the money of other people,too)to loan money to people and businesses.The bank will send you a statement several times a year. A bank statement tells you how much money there is in your account. It also tells you how much interest you have earned.If you leave your money in the bank,you can watch it grow!Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD.If you have some money that you don't need to use for a long time,this is a good way to make your money grow. You can buy a CD at a bank.You agree not to use the money for a certain period of time.That period might be from six months to five years.You can't touch your money during that time.If you do,you must pay a penalty,or fee.Since the bank is using your money for that time period,it will pay you interest.You will earn more interest with a CD than in a savings account. Can you guess why?It's because you promise to leave your money in the bank for a certain period of time.Banks pay different rates of interest.So, you may want to compare rates in newspaper ads before buying a CD.Interest is the amount of money which_______.A:a bank lends to people B:a bank loans to businessesC:a bank pays you D:a bank uses
