二、阅读理解单项选择题（本大题共50分，共 5 小题，每小题 10 分）
1. Every artist knows in his heart that he issaying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but hewants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the publicwill listen and understand –- he wants to teach them, and he wants them tolearn from him. What visual artists like painters want toteach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translatetheir experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that acertain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible,is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without theirwork we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or havefelt the delight which they brought to the artist. Most artists take their shapes and colorsfrom the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and repose; theirchoices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, thatthey contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merelychoose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing morein it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the characterof their subjects. If one painter chooses to paint gangrenousleg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention toa certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing ussomething, emphasizing something—all of which means that, consciously orunconsciously, he is trying to teach us.(1). It ishard to explain what a painter is saying because_______ A. mostpainters do not express themselves wellB.a painter uses unusual words andphrases C. a painter usesshapes and colors instead of words D. many painters do not say anything
(2). Anartist’s choice of shapes and colors indicates that he believes them to be ____A.meaningful in themselves B. merelybeautiful C. a reflection of his experiences D. worth looking at
(3). Thewriter says that contemporary artists might say their choice of subject _____. A. carries amessage to the publicB. only provides interesting patterns C.has no pattern of form D.teaches the public important truths
(4). Thewriter says that contemporary art contains ______. A. nothing but meaningless patterns B. uninteresting aspects of the world C. subjects chosen partly for theirmeaning D. completely meaningless subjects
(5). Thepassage implied that_________. A. A painting is more easily understoodthan a symphony B. Art is merely the arranging of shape and color C. Everyartist tries to say something to the public D.One must look beyond shapeand color to find what the artist is saying
2. Data from thepioneer spacecraft of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)apparently prove the theory that searing 900-degree Fahrenheit surfacetemperature of Venus is due to an atmospheric greenhouse effect caused mainlyby a blanket of carbon dioxide. Such a greenhouse effect is created when energyin the form of sunlight easily passes through a planet’s atmosphere, warms itssurface, and is converted to heat radiation that is then held in by the atmosphere.The orbiting spacecraft sampled Venus’ atmosphere from top to bottom, enablingNASA’s scientists to establish the exact amount of sunlight absorbed at variousplaces in the planet’s atmosphere and on its surface. Measurements ofatmosphere composition, temperature profiles, and radiative heating predictedVenus’ surface temperature very accurately. The planet is closer to the Sunthan is Earth, and it has a relatively thin atmosphere like Earth’s but Venus’atmosphere consists of more than ninety percent carbon dioxide, compared toless than four percent in that of Earth. Because of its higher percentage ofcarbon dioxide, Venus’ atmosphere traps much more heat radiation than doesEarth’s. Thus, the Venus studies are believed to be important to theunderstanding of possible adverse effects on Earth’s agriculture and sea levelsthat could result from the long-term use of fossil fuels, which add carbondioxide to the atmosphere.
(1). Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? A. TheVoyage of Pioneer Spacecraft B. Measuring Planetary Temperatures C. A NewTheory D. The Greenhouse Effect on Venus
(2). According to the passage, what heats theatmosphere on Venus?
A. The green house effect B. The sunlightC. The radiation D.The carbon dioxide
(3). According to the passage, how does theatmosphere of Venus differ from that of Earth?
A. It contains much more carbon dioxide B.It is four percent thinner C. It holds significantly less moisture D. It trapsless heat radiation
(4). It can be inferred from the passage thatthe burning of fossil fuels on Earth may cause _____.
A. more carbon dioxide to enter sea waterB. more sunlight to reach the Earth’s surfaceC. the planet’s temperature to change D. the atmosphere to become thinner
(5). According to the passage, data from theVenus study can be used to ________.
A. predict changes in the planet’s orbit B. test a theory about more efficientgreenhouse C. test the efficiency of a spacecraft D.predict futureagricultural problems on Earth
3. At dawn onJanuary 17, 1995, the city of Kobe was rocked by earthquake tremors. The worsttremors reach 7.2 on the Richter scale. Kobe is Japan's sixth largest city. Itis also one of the world's largest ports. Within minutes, Kobe was a disasterarea. How bad was the damage? The earthquakewas the worst to hit Japan in 72 years. There were more than 6,000 people dead.More than 35,000 were injured, and nearly 310,000 were left homeless. Some75,000 buildings were damaged or destroyed. Total damage was estimated at $90billion.Were the Japanese prepared forearthquakes? They thought they were. They were expecting a big earthquake tostrike one of their major cities. But they did not know when, where, or how bigthe earthquake would be. Architects and engineers believed they had designedearthquake-proof buildings, transportation, and public services. Kobe's fewminutes of earth tremors shattered that belief.What did people learn from the Kobeearthquake? What happened in Kobe suggests that earthquake hazard was not takenseriously enough. Some people believe that more can be done to reduce damage.They propose the following. More work should be put into quake-proofingbuildings. Walls should be built to protect towns on the coast from largewaves. Providers of emergency services must be better trained and betterprepared. Citizens must be better educated on what to do when an earthquakestrikes.The major barrier to doing more is cost.Japan finds itself trying balance the cost against the risk of a strongearthquake.(1). Which sentence best tells what this passagesays? A. Cities can be made earthquake proof. B.More can be done to reduce the damage of earthquake C. Earthquakes always causeserious damage D.Nothing can be done to reduce the damage of earthquake
(2). How many people died in the Kobeearthquake? A. More than 6,000 B. At least 100,000 C.Nearly 310000 D.75,000
(3). Whatis the major difficulty in doing more to reduce the earthquake damage? A. People are not given enough training B.Engineers do not have the knowledge C. Protection is too costly D. No one takesearthquakes seriously
(4). The author's attitude in writing thispassage is ________.(Only paragraph 1 is chronological!) A. analytic B. blaming C.provocative D. indifferent
(5). "Tremors" probably means________. A. earthquake-proving buildingsB. shaking movements C. heavy thunderstorms D. natural disasters
4. City planners are the people who guide the development of cities and towns.They might advise local governments on ways to improve communities, or theymight design entirely new communities. In South Florida, for example, cityplanners are working to improve existing communities. The population of thearea is expected to increase from 5.5 million to 7.5 million by 2020. Thegrowth is headed to the west, where there is still open land. But westerngrowth creates a costly need for new roads and is a threat to the ecologicalsystem of the Florida Everglades（沼泽地）. City plannersare trying to lure people back into the older, developed eastern section of theregion by concentrating growth in that direction and away from the westernsection.
City planners also plan and develop new communities.These communities, called new cities or new towns, include both places to liveand places to work. New cities, such as Brazil's capital Brasilia, a communityfounded in 1900, can be constructed far from existing cities. Such cities aredesigned with enough facilities and job opportunities for all residents.Building completely new cities is very costly, however, Brasilia and Canberra,Australia, are two examples of the few new cities that have ever been completed
New towns are different from new cities in that theyare built within commuting distance of large cities. They may also be plannedcommunities within a city. New towns provide jobs for many of their residents,but they also rely on neighboring cities for jobs. Two of the first new townsbuilt in the United States were Columbia, Maryland, and Reston, Virginia. Atthe end of the 20th century an estimated 100 new towns were planned or underconstruction in the United States.(1). The passage is mainly about ________. A.choosing a good city planner B. the planning of the Reston, Virginia C. theplanning of Brasilia and Canberra D. the work of city planners
(2). Brasilia, Brazil, is an example of _______. A. an improved old city B. aplanned new city C. a planned new town D. a suburban development
(3). You would most likely hire a city planner if you needed someone to________. A. help grow best trees and flowers in a city B. a planned new cityC. design new office buildings in a city D. guide the development of a newcommunity in a city
(4). The number 2 million indicates the predicted ________. A. decrease inSouth Florida's population B. increase in South Florida's population C. numberof city planners to be needed in the year 2020 D. number of towns to be plannedby 205 population in a newly-designed city
(5). In this passage lure means______ A. cheat B. force C. attract D. chase
5. Are you planninga vacation? If you like hot and extremely dry summers, go to Phoenix, Arizona.For hot temperatures but lots of rain and thunderstorms, try Miami, Florida. Ifyou want average temperatures and rainfall, St. Louis, Missouri, is the spot.Or if you're a cold weather fan, head to Fairbanks, Alaska. Its winters arevery cold with little precipitation. Each of these cities has a certain type ofweather. The average weather for a place over many years is called climate, andin no two places in the world is it exactly the same. How can this be? Many thingsin nature, such as sunshine, temperature, and precipitation, affect climate.Nearness to mountain, oceans, and large lakes affects it too. Another factor isaltitude, or height above sea level. Air cools as altitude increases. So a cityat a higher altitude may be colder than one at a lower altitude. Finally, windsaffect climate. They move heat and moisture between the oceans and continents.Winds keep the tropics from overheating. They keep the polar regions fromgetting overly cold. Climatechanges over long periods of time. Some scientists think, for example, that theearth's climate changed at the time of the dinosaurs. They think the dinosaursdied because of the change. What causes a climate to change? One possible causemay be changes in the sun. Sunspots, for example, are cool, dark spots thatform on the sun. Sunspots may decrease precipitation on the earth and causeunusually dry periods. Changes in the atmosphere may change climate too.Volcanic eruptions, for instance, release solid particles into the air. Theseparticles may form a cloud that blocks out the sun's heat. Human activity isanother cause of climate change. Air pollution and the reduction of forestcover may have long-term effects on climate.(1). This passage is concerned with things thataffect _________. A. precipitation B. climate C. altitude D. sunspots
(2). Change in climate may have caused___________. A. dinosaurs to die B. dark spots to form on the sun C. volcanic eruption D. air pollution
(3). The effect of a volcanic eruption onclimate may be to make it _________. A. wetter B. dryer C.warmer D.colder
(4). To help readers understand how climate canchange, the writer uses______. A.examples B. a story about theseashore C. order of importance D.a strong argument
(5). Which of the following is the place ofgreatest altitude on a mountain? A.the foot of the mountain B. 8,500 feet up the mountain C. the top of themountain D. 15,785 feet upthe mountain
