16、”VI. READING COMPREGHENSION (15%, one point for each)Passage 1Most earthquakes occur within the upper 15 miles of the earths 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

17、few years. Near the surface earthquakes may run as high as 100 in a month, but the yearly average does not vary much. In comparison with the total number of earthquakes each year, the number of disastrous earthquakes is very small. The extent of the disaster in an earthquake depends on many factors.

18、 If you carefully build a toy house with an erect set, 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, Morocco, was not strong enough to be recorded on distant instr

19、uments, 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

20、 third and very serious factor is panic. When people rush out into narrow streets, more deaths will result. The United Nations has played an important part in reducing the damage done by earthquakes. It has sent a team of experts to all countries known to be affected by earthquakes. Working with loc

21、al geologists and engineers, the experts have studied the nature of the ground and the type of most practical building code for the local area. If followed, these suggestions will make disastrous earthquakes almost a thing of the past. There is one type of earthquake disaster that little can be done

22、 about. This is the disaster caused by seismic sea waves, or tsunamis. (These are often called tidal waves, but the name is incorrect. They have nothing to do with tides.) In certain areas, earthquakes take place beneath the sea. These submarine earthquakes sometimes give rise to seismic sea waves.

23、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 height only in harbors. Tsunamis travel fairly slowl

24、y, at speeds up to 500 miles an hour. An adequate 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.1. Which of the following cannot be concluded from

25、 the passage?A. The number of earthquakes is closely related to 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 surfaces.2. The destruction of Agadir is an example of _.A. faulty b

26、uilding constructionB. an earthquakes strengthC. widespread panic in earthquakesD. ineffective instruments3. The United Nations experts are supposed to _.A. construct strong buildingsB. put forward proposalsC. detect disastrous earthquakesD. monitor earthquakes4. The significance of the slow speed o

27、f tsunamis is that people may _.A. notice them out at seaB. find ways to stop themC. be warned early enoughD. develop warning systems5. Which of the following is true about tsunami according to the passage?A. Japan was the first country to be hit by tsunami.B. There has no effective tsunami warning

28、system so far.C. Tsunamis can be prevented from happening.D. Tsunamis pose a great threat to people living on the seashore.Passage 2It had been a pleasantly warm day, without much wind, and with enough cloud to prevent the heat of the sun becoming too great. Charles had spent a long time studying th

29、e level of the water in the boat, and had discovered that, by evening, it had fallen very slightly. This, it would seem, must mean that the boat was not taking in water, which was fortunate, because any attempt to empty it out suggested greater effort than he felt equal to. One other immediate probl

30、em had held his wandering thoughts for a few moments at long intervals. This was the problem of Harcourt. The thing to do, Charles realized, was to put poor Harcourt in the sea. It should be a simple matter and take no more than a few seconds. Charles arranged in his mind exactly how it could most e

31、asily be done, but his body did not react to the suggestions of his mind. Charles told himself that it was his hands that were the trouble. It was better, really, not to find out how badly they were burned. There was nothing to be done about them except not use them.But then, suddenly, almost withou

32、t knowing how he did it, Charles moved, stood up, bent over the body of poor Harcourt, lifted it and let it slip as gently as possible into the sea. Afterwards he stood in the stern of the boat for a long time, watching the color of the sea deepen and the sky become increasingly farther off with the

33、 coming of night. In a curious way he felt strangely happy. The problem of his rescue had not yet begun to trouble him.After a time Charless returning interest in living showed itself in the simple form of hunger. With some difficulty, owing to the water in the boat, he explored its stores and found

34、 food and water in air-tight tins. He also found a neat package wrapped in green oiled silk. He unwrapped it and found maps. Neat, beautifully designed and printed, spotlessly new, they lay across his knees and he was no longer alone in a world of water. At that moment these clean official maps, cor

35、rect in every detail, were as comforting as the sound of a human voice, as cheering as a candle in darkness.1. In the evening the water in the boat was _.A. higher than it was in the morningB. a little less than it was in the morningC. level with what it had been in the morningD. deeper than it had

36、been when he studied it2. Charles was worried about Harcourts body because _.A. it was unwise to keep it in the boatB. he thought it was too heavyC. he couldnt bear to get rid of itD. he didnt know what to do with it3. Charles got rid of the body by _.A. throwing it into the seaB. pushing it out of

37、the boat into the seaC. lifting it up and dropping it into the seaD. raising it and allowing it to slide into the sea4. Charles then spent a long while _.A. looking around him into the growing darknessB. looking into the depths of the seaC. looking angrily at the skyD. trying to see where the sea an

38、d sky met5. The finding of the maps cheered him because _.A. they were carefully wrapped in oiled silkB. they were spotlessly newC. they reminded him of the ordinary, ordered worldD. he could see at once where he wasPassage 3Complaining about faulty goods or bad service is never easy. Most people di

39、slike making a fuss. But if something you have bought is faulty or does not do what was claimed for it, you are not asking for a favor to get it put right. It is the shopkeepers responsibility to take the complaint seriously and to replace or repair a faulty article or put right poor service, becaus

40、e he is the person with whom you have entered into an agreement. They manufacturer may have a part to play but that comes later.Complaints should be made to a responsible person. Go back to the shop where you bought the goods, taking with you any receipt you may have. Ask to see the buyer in a large

41、 store. In a small store the assistant may also be the owner so you can complain direct. In a chain store ask to see the manager. If you telephone, ask the name of the person who handles your enquiry, otherwise you may never find out who dealt with the complaint later.Even the bravest person finds i

42、t difficult to stand up in a group of people to complain, so if you do not want to do it in person, writer a letter. Stick to the facts and keep a copy of what you write. At this stage you should give any receipt numbers, but you should not need to give receipts or other papers to prove you bought t

43、he article. If you are not satisfied with the answer you get, or if you do not get a reply, write to the managing director of the firm, ship, or organization. Be sure to keep copies of you own letters and any you receive.If your complaint is a just one, the shopkeeper may offer to replace or repair

44、the faulty article. You may find this an attractive solution. In certain cases you may have the right to refuse the goods and ask for your money back, but this is only where you have hardly used the goods and have acted at once. Even when you cannot refuse the goods you may be able to get some money

45、 back as well. And if you have suffered some special loss, if for example a new washing machine tears your clothes, you might receive money to replace them. If the shopkeeper offers you a credit note to be used to buy goods in the same shops but you would rather have money say so. If you accept a cr

46、edit note remember that later you will not be able to ask for your money. If the shopkeeper refuses to give you money, ask for advice from your Citizens Advice Bureau before you accept a credit note. In some cases the shopkeeper does not have to give you money back if, for example, he changes an art

47、icle simply because you dont like it or it does not fit. He does not have to take back the goods in these circumstances.1. The shopper may make a complaint because _.A. he dislikes causing a fussB. it doesnt do what is claimed for itC. the article bought is not up to standardD. he was at fault in bu

48、ying the article2. What agreement does the shopkeeper make with the customer?A. To take his complaint seriously.B. To sell him the goods.C. To replace or repair a faulty article.D. To put right poor service.3. If you write a letter to complain _.A. it is important to keep a record of what you sayB.

49、it is necessary to send receiptsC. say how you feel about the matterD. ask what receipt numbers you should give4. You may be able to claim extra money when _.A. you have been hurtB. you cant find something specialC. damage has been caused by the faulty articleD. your clothes have been torn or lost5.

50、 If a shopkeeper will not give you money you should _.A. take a credit note insteadB. refuse to leave the shopC. ask your office for adviceD. find out your lawful rights上海師范大學(xué)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)試卷 答題紙2008 2009 學(xué)年 第二-學(xué)期 考試日期 2009 年6月26日 科目：基礎(chǔ)英語（C卷）英語 專業(yè) 本科 08 年級 _ 班 姓名 學(xué)號 _題號一二三四五六七八總分得分我承諾，遵守上海師范大學(xué)考場規(guī)則，誠信考試。簽名：_I.
