36、t best fits into the passage. (每題1.5分,共15題) People once thought that the Earth was flat and that you could fall _1_ the edge. Most of us now think of the planet as a sphere. It is quite useful to think of the Earth and its atmosphere as being rather like an onion-that is, a ball made up of layers,_2

37、_, unlike an onion, each layer is made of a different material. One of the stories created by the writer Jules Verne described a journey to the center of the Earth, but at the Earths center it _3_ rather uncomfortable because the inner core of our planet is thought to be made of an alloy(合金) of nick

38、el and iron at a pressure some four million times greater than that which we experience at the surface. _4_ this inner core is an outer core which seems to be liquid and is made of nickel and iron together with a lighter element such _5_ silicon or sulphur. It is very difficult to discover what it i

39、s like within the Earth. Information has been collected _6_ the study of earthquake waves, which react differently in rocks of different densities and different _7_ of solidity. Volcanoes also provide evidence as they throw up to the surface materials from great depths. There is one other _8_ of inf

40、ormation-meteorites which fall from space and are thought to represent the composition of the Universe as a whole. Outside the core is the mantle. The evidence we have from the way in which earthquake waves pass _9_ the mantle suggests that it is solid but it is likely that the upper part is more pl

41、astic in consistency. The composition of the mantle seems to be similar _10_ that of a rock found at the Earths surface called peridotite(橄欖巖) which contains iron, magnesium(鎂), silicon and oxygen. Finally, surrounding the mantle, the Earth has a very thin skin known as the crust which is probably n

42、owhere more than 50 kilometers (30 miles) thick. The crust is at its thickest under the worlds mountain belts. 61.A. offB. overC. beyondD. from62.A. howeverB. thusC. henceD. although63.A. isB. has beenC. would beD. would have been64.A.

Experts believe about 350 thousand persons have the disease. And one million more may get it in the next five years. In the United

45、States, about 50,000 persons have died with AIDS. The countrys top medical official says more than 90 percent of all Americans who had the AIDS virus five years ago are dead. There is no cure for AIDS and no vaccine(疫苗) medicine to prevent it. However, researchers know much more about AIDS than they

46、 did just a few years ago. We now know that AIDS is caused by a virus. The virus invades healthy cells including white blood cells that are part of our defense system against disease. It takes control of the healthy cells genetic(遺傳的) material and forces the cell to make a copy of the virus. The cel

47、l then dies And the viral particles move on to invade and kill more healthy cells.The AIDS virus is carried in a persons body fluids. The virus can be passed sexually or by sharing instruments used to take intravenous(靜脈內(nèi)的) drugs. It also can be passed in blood products or from a pregnant woman with

48、 AIDS to her developing baby.Many stories about the spread of AIDS are false. You cannot get AIDS by working or attending school with someone who has the disease. You can not get it by touching, drinking glasses or other objects used by such persons. Experts say no one has gotten AIDS by living with

49、, caring for or touching an AIDS patient.There are several warning signs of an AIDS infection. They include always feeling tired, unexplained weight loss and uncontrolled expulsion of body wastes(大小便失禁). Other warnings are the appearance of white areas on the mouth ,dark red areas of skin that do no

50、t disappear and a higher than normal body temperature. 71. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. As many as 350 thousand persons have AIDS.B.

The AIDS virus can be passed on through infected blood.C. The AIDS virus can be passed on by shaking hands and sharing be

52、longings.D. The AIDS virus is passed sexually. 73. The expression a pregnant woman (Para. 3) means_ . A. a woman who has an unborn child in the bodyB. a woman who is taking drugC. a woman who has the AIDS virusD. an unmarried mother 74. The fifth paragraph is mainly about_ . A. the results of an AID

53、S infectionB. the possible symptoms of an AIDS infectionC. how the AIDS virus is spreadD. the diseases AIDS patients easily have 75. When the AIDS virus attacks our defense system_ . A. it starts to destroy our white blood cellsB. we begin to feel tiredC. it means we will die very soonD. our white b

54、lood cells can control it PASSAGE TWO(每題2分,共5題)The pollution of Hong Kongs beaches by oil from a damaged tanker last year recalls a similar incident which took place in Britain in 1967 when the Torrey Canyon, a huge oil tanker, split in two and caused disaster in coastal areas. Shoals of fishes were

55、 killed, sea birds hopelessly fouled with oil and coastal holiday resorts put out of business for several weeks. As a result of this particular incident scientists are becoming restless at the thought of Britains inability to cope with national disasters on a large scale. The reason for their concer

56、n is that technology is rapidly outstripping(超越)mans ability to control it. Oil tankers, for instance, have been allowed to get bigger and bigger without sufficient thought being given to emergency braking and manoeuvring arrangement. Collisions at sea continue, but little effect has been made to de

57、velop safety devices as effective as those used for aircraft.Scientists were outspoken in expressing their concern during a recent meeting of the British Association. Unanimous approval was voiced when the leading speaker urged that a permanent national rescue services should be established, equippe

58、d for any emergency and ready to move off immediately.Of all the possible disasters mentioned, the one promoting most discussion was a major release of radioactivity from a nuclear power station. One does not need a particularly vivid imagination to visualize the other possibilities discussed. What would be the effect of a jumbo-jet crashing on a large chemical plant handling destroying liquids? Could the tapping of natural gas lead to any form of collapse? Suppose a lorry full of a highly poisonous che
