Lack of Oxygen Delayed the Rise of Animals on EarthScientists have long speculated as to why animal species d idn’t flourish sooner, once sufficient oxygen covered the Earth’s surface. Animals began to prosper at the end of the Proterozoic period, about 800 million years ago — but what about the billion-year stretch before that, when most researchers think there also was plenty of oxygen?Well, it seems the air wasn’t so great then, after all.In a study published Oct. 31 in Science, Yale researcher Noah Planavsky and his colleagues found that oxygen levels during the “boring billion” period were only 0.1% of what they are today. In oth er words, Earth’s atmosphere couldn’t have supported a diversity of creatures, no matter what genetic advancements were poised to occur.“There is no question that genetic and ecological innovation must ultimately be behind the rise of animals, but it is equally unavoidable that animals need a certain level of oxygen,” said Planavsky, co-lead author of the research along with Christopher Reinhard of the Georgia Institute of Technology. “We’re providing the first evidence that oxygen levels were low enough during this period to potentially prevent the rise of animals.”The scientists found their evidence by analyzing chromium (Cr) isotopes in ancient sediments from China, Australia, Canada, and the United States. Chromium is found in the Earth’s continental crust, and chromium oxidation is directly linked to the presence of free oxygen in the atmosphere.Specifically, the team studied samples deposited in shallow, iron-rich ocean areas, near the shore. They compared their data with other samples taken from younger locales known to have higher levels of oxygen.Oxyge n’s role in controlling the first appearance of animals has long vexed scientists. “We were missing the right approach until now,” Planavsky said. “Chromium gave us the proxy.” Previous estimates put the oxygen level at 40% of today’s conditions during pre-animal times, leaving open the possibility that oxygen was already plentiful enough to support animal life.In the new study, the researchers acknowledged that oxygen levels were “highly dynamic” in the early atmosphere, with the potential for occasiona lspikes. However, they said, “It seems clear that there is a first-order difference in the nature of Earth surface Cr cycling” before and after the rise of animals.“If we are right, our results will really change how people view the origins of animals and other complex life, and their relationships to the co-evolving environment,” said co-author Tim Lyons of the University of California-Riverside. “This could be a game changer.”“There’s a lot of interest right now in a broader discussion surrounding the role that environmental stability played in the evolution of complex life, and we think our results are a significant contribution to that,” Reinhard said.16. The study discovered the rise of animals occurred earlier than the Proterozoic period.A. RightB. WrongC. Not mentioned17. Many researchers believe the oxygen level was high during pre-animal times.A.

Mad Scientist Stereotype OutdatedDo people still imagine a physicist as a bearded man in glasses or has the image of the mad scientist changed?The Institute of Physics set out to find out whether the stereotype of a physics'boffin'(科学家)still exists by conducting a survey on shoppers in London.The people were asked to identify the physicist from a photograph of a line-up of possible suspects.98percent of those asked got it wrong.The majority of people picked a white male of around60,wearing glasses and with a white beard.While this stereotype may have been the image of an average physicist fifty years ago,the reality is now very different. Since1960the number of young women entering physics has doubled and the average age of a physicist is now31.The stereotype of the absent-minded scientist has lasted a long time because the media and Hollywood help promote the image of men in white lab coats with glasses sitting by blackboards full of equations(等式)or working with fizzing(嘶嘶响)test tubes.These stereotypes are really damaging to society.Very good school children are put off studying science because they don't see people like themselves on television or in magazines doing science.They simply don't relate to themedia's image of the mad scientist.This is one reason why fewer young people are choosing to do science at university.If we want to encourage more young people to study science subjects,we need to change this image of the scientist and make science careers more attractive.But we must also develop children's interest in science.In an attempt to change this negative image,an increasing number of science festivals are being organized.Thousands of people from secondary schools are also encouraged to take part in nationwide science competitions of which the most popular are the national science Olympiads.Winning national teams then get the opportunity to take part in the International Science Olympiads which are held in a different country every year. These events are all interesting for the young people who take part but they only involve a small proportion of students who are already interested in science.It seems that there is a long way to go before science becomes attractive as subjects like computer studies or fashion and design.1Most people have similar ideas of what a physicist looks like.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned2The majority of physicists in Britain today are Cambridge graduatesA RightB WrongC Not mentioned3The media and the cinema have played a role in promoting the image of the mad scientist.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned4There will be more women scientists than men scientists in.the futureA RightB WrongC Not mentioned5More children will study science if it becomes more attractive.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned6The image of the mad scientist is really encouraging tosociety.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned7The International Science Olympiads are held once every two years.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned【参考答案】1.A2.C3.A4.C5.A6.B7.BMother Nature Shows Her StrengthTornadoes(龙卷风)and heavy thunderstorms moved across the Great Lakes and into Trumbull County on Saturday evening. The storms were dramatic and dangerous.George Snyder was driving the fire truck down Route88when he first noticed that a funnel(漏斗状的)cloud was behind him. "1stopped the truck and watched the funnel cloud.It was about 100feet off the ground and I saw it go up and down for a while. It was moving toward Bradley Road and then suddenly it disappeared,"Snyder said.Snyder only saw one of the funnel clouds that passed through northeastern Ohio on Saturday.In Trumbull County,a tornadoturned trees onto their sides.Some trees fell onto houses and cars.Other trees fell into telephone and electrical wires as they went down.Amanda Symcheck was having a party when the storm began. "1knew something was wrong,"she said.'1saw the sky go green and pink(粉红色).Then it sounded like a train rushing toward the house.I started crying and told everyone to go to the basement for protection."The tornado caused a lot of damage to cars and houses in the area.It will take a long time and much money to repair everything.There was also serious water damage from the thunderstorms.The heavy rains and high wind caused the power to go out in many homes.The storms caused serious flooding in areas near the river. More than four inches of rain fell in parts of Trumbull County. The river was so high that the water ran into streets and houses. Many streets had to be closed to cars and trucks because of the high water.This made it difficult for fire trucks,police cars, and other rescue vehicles to help people who were in trouble.Many people who live near the river had to leave their homes for their own safety.Some people reported five feet of water in their homes.Local and state officials opened emergencyshelters for the people who were evacuated(撤走).The Red Cross served meals to them."This was a really intense storm,"said Snyder."People were afraid.Mother Nature can be fierce.We were lucky this time.No one was killed."1The weather was nice in Trumbull County on Saturday evening.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned2George Snyder was a firefighter.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned3Amanda Symcheck was having a party in the basement when the storm began.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned4Power supply system was not damaged during the storm.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned5There had not been such a severe storm in Trumbull County for a hundred years.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned6Rescue vehicles had a hard time getting to people.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned7Several people were missing during the storm.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned【参考答案】1.B2.A3.B4.B5.C6.A7.CA Dolphin and an AstronomerOne day in1963,a dolphin named Elvar and a famous astronomer,Carl Sagan,were playing a little game.The astronomer was visiting an institute which was looking into the way dolphins communicate with each other.Sagan was standing on the edge of one of the tanks where several of these friendly, highly intelligent creatures were kept.Elvar had just swum upalongside him and had turned on his back.The dolphin wanted Sagan to scratch his stomach again,as the astronomer had done twice before.Elvar looked up at Sagan, waiting.Then,after a minute or so,the dolphin leapt up through the water and made a sound just like the word"more". The astonished astronomer went to the director of the institute and told him about the incident."Oh,yes.That's one of the words he knows,"the director said,showing no surprise at all.Dolphins have bigger brains in proportion to their body size than humans have,and it has been known for a long time that they can make a number of sounds.What is more,these sounds seem to have different functions,such as warning each other of danger.Sound travels much faster and much further in water than it does in air.That is why the parts of the brain that deal with sound are much better developed in dolphins than in humans.But can it be said that dolphins have a'language',in the real sense of the word?Scientists don't agree on this.A language is not just a collection of sounds,or even words.A language has a structure and what we call a grammar.The structure and grammar of a language help to give it meaning. For example,the two questions'Who loves Mary?'and'Who does Mary love?'mean very different things.If you stop to thinkabout it,you will see that this difference doesn't come from the words in the question but from the difference in structure. That is why the question'Can dolphins speak?'can't be answered until we find out if dolphins not only make sounds but also arrange them in a grammatical order which affects their meaning.1The astronomer was not interested in the way dolphins communicate with each other.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned2The dolphin leapt up into the air because Sagan was too near the water.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned3Parts of the dolphin's brain are particularly well developed to handle different kinds of sound.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned4Dolphins are the most useful animals to humans.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned5Dolphins travel faster in water than any other animals.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned6Some scientists believe that dolphins have a language of their own.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned7Sounds can be called a language only when they have a structure and a grammar.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned【参考答案】1.B2.B3.A4.C5.C6.A7.AMotion SicknessLiving in space looks like lots of fun.You can do certain things in space(like floating around,or pushing huge objects) that you cannot do on earth.But being in space can do thingsto you,too.If you stay too long in a gravity-free environment, your bones could become weak,and a small spaceship just might annoy you after a while,because space travel could make you seasick!On July4,1982,after seven days orbiting the earth, astronauts Thomas K.Mattingly and Henry W.Hartsfield returned home.Although not all of the experiments on board worked properly,the flight basically seemed to be a success except for one"little"thing:early in the flight,astronaut Hartsfield became"seasick".Thomas Mattingly,who is also a jet pilot and is highly resistant to motion sickness on earth,did much better. Mattingly sailed through space with a steady stomach.But no one knows why Hartsfield felt uneasy and Mattingly did not.So far it seems there is no reliable way to predict who will become motion sick in outer space and who will not.in all,at least four astronauts have suffered from space motion sickness. Russian and American scientists are working together to try to understand and solve the motion sickness.Space program officials worry that if so many highly-trained pilots get sick in space,what will happen when civilians start flying in the shuttle?Motion sickness is a disagreeable feeling that comes from the pitching,rolling,swaying,or just the moving of the object you are riding in or on.Symptoms of motion sickness include: dizziness,headache,a sinking feeling in the stomach,and vomiting.Why does motion make some people ill?Doctors believe that motion sickness is caused by a disturbance in the inner ear.Our ears do more than give us hearing.A part of the ears gives us a sense of balance and helps make us aware of whether we are right side up or upside down.If you know that you get carsick or seasick,what can you do?Speak to your doctor.There are certain medicines available that can help stop that uneasy feeling.But many of them can also make you ually they work best taken before you begin feeling ill.Some people also recommend water,ice cubes,mints,or plain toast.But these remedies do not always work for everyone.Perhaps,since motion sickness is such a big problem in outer space,researchers may soon find a way to cure the astronauts-and those of us who stay on earth.16Floating in space for too long a time may also do harmto one's lungs and heart.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned17At the end of the flight,Hartsfield became"seasick".A RightB WrongC Not mentioned18Mattingly was much thinner than Hartsfield.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned19Russian and American scientists are working together to solve the problem of motion sickness in astronauts.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned20Untrained civilians are more likely to suffer from motion sickness in a spacecraftA RightB WrongC Not mentioned21The motion sickness some astronauts suffered from during space travel had been caused by the defective digestive system.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned22People suffering from motion sickness during space travel can alleviate its symptoms by eating or drinking something.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned【参考答案】1.C2.B3.C4.A5.A6.B7.CPlants in DesertOnly special plants can survive the terrible climate of a desert,for these are regions where the annual range of the soil temperature can be over75℃.Furthermore,during the summer there are few clouds in the sky to protect plants from the sun's ray.Another problem is the fact that there are frequently strong winds which drive small,sharp particles of sand into the plants,tearing and damaging them.The most difficult problem for all forms of plant life,however,is the fact that the entire annual rainfall occurs during a few days or weeks in spring.Grasses and flowers in desert survive from one year to the next by existing through the long,hot,dry season in the form of seeds.These seeds remain inactive unless the right amount of rain falls.If no rain falls,or if insufficient rain falls,they wait until the next year,or even still the next.Another factor that helps these plants to survive is the fact that their life cycles are short.By the time that the water from the spring rains disappears——just a few weeks after it falls——such plants no longer need any.The perennials have special features which enable them to survive as plants for several years.Thus,nearly all desertperennials have extensive root systems below ground and a small shoot system above ground.The large root network enables the plant to absorb as much water as possible in a short time.The small shoot system,on the other hand,considerably limits water loss by evaporation.Another feature of many desert perennials is that after the rainy season they lose their leaves in preparation for the long,dry season,just as trees in wetter climates lose theirs in preparation for the winter.This reduces their water loss by evaporation during the dry season.Then,in next rainy season,they come fully alive once more,and grow new branches,leaves and flowers,just as the grasses and flowers in desert do.16.Ordinary plants are unable to survive in the desert mainly because of the changeable weather.A.RightB.WrongC.Not

Green roofs are the most prevalent(流行)in Germany,which is widely regarded as the leader in green roof research.The green roofs that are used these days can be classified as 'extensive' and'intensive' systems. Extensive green roofs use mosses,grasses and herbs,which are tolerant to droughts. These plants do not Reed much maintenance. can be grown in a layer of substrate (土层)that can be as shallow as l.5 inches,and generally are inaccessible to the public. In contrast, a wide range of species of plants are grown on intensive green roofs,such as shrubs (灌木)and even trees,which require deeper substrate layers,and are usually grown on flat roofs. They need intensive maintenance, and are usually areas that resemble parks which are accessible to people.There are several benefits of adopting green roof technologies. Apart from the obvious psychological and aesthetic(美学的)benefits of garden-like environments surrounding you,some of the common economic and ecological benefits are:a reduction in the consumption of energy;air and water purification;recovering green spaces;and the mitigation(缓解)of the heat island effect in urban areas.The green roof research that is currently ongoing is focused on evaluating the species of plants that are suitable to be grown on roofs,the methods of propagation(繁殖)as well as establishment,nutrient(养料)and water requirement,substrates,and the quantity and quality of water runoff. The evaluation criteria of plant species are:at what rate they can be established:their capacity to withstand invasive weeds:tolerance of cold and heat: tolerance of drought conditions: capacity of persistence and survival.A number of experiments are being conducted on roof platform simulations at various research centers. These sites are generally outfitted with equipment,which are used to measure temperatures at different depths of the growing substrates, and the rate and volume of the runoff of stormwaters from each of the platforms.Green roof technology is representative of a completely new market for landscape contractors. And all roofs that currently exist and the future ones to be constructed are the potential market-a market that is too huge to be overlooked.16 It is estimated that around 10 percent of the flat roofs in Germany are green.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned17 German people prefer extensive green roof systems to intensive ones.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned18 Small plants like grasses and herbs are grown widely on intensive green roofs.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned19 Green roof is an ecologically sound strategy of spreading green in urban areas.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned20 0ne of the benefits of green roofs is the reduction of the heat island effect in cities.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned21 0ne focus;n the green roof research is the evaluation of suitable plant species.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned22 Although green roof technology can create a garden-like environment,its potential market is rather small.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned第3部分:概括大意与完成句子(第23~30题,每题l分,共8分)下面的短文后有2项测试任务:(1)第23~26题要求从所给的6个选项中为第2—5段每段选择1个最佳标题;(2)第27~30题要求从所给的6个选项中为每个句子确定1个最佳选项。
Using HIV Virus to Cure CancerScientists are planning to use human immunodeficiency(免疫缺陷)virus(HIV),one of mankind's most feared viruses,as a carrier of genes which can fight cancer and a range of diseases that cannot be cured.The experts say HIV has an almost perfect ability to avoid the body's immune(免疫的)defenses,making it ideal for carrying replacement genes into patients' bodies,according to the Observer.A team at the California-based Salk Institute,one of the world's leading research centers on biological sciences,has created a special new breed of HIV and has started negotiations with the U.S.Food and Drug Administration(FDA)to begin clinical gene therapy(治疗)trials this year.The first trials are expected to involve patients suffering from cancers that cannot be cured by surgery although project leader Professor Inder Verma said the HIV technique would have"far wider applications".The plan remains very likely to cause controversy since it involves making use of a virus which has caused more than22 million deaths around the world in the past two decades.Verma said that the idea of using HIV for a beneficial purpose was "shocking"but the fierce nature of HIV had disappeared byhaving all six of the potentially deadly genes removed.Illnesses such as various cancers are caused when a gene in a patient's body fails to work properly.In the past two years,breakthroughs in genetics(遗传学)have led gene therapy scientists to try and replace the genes that do not function normally.Unfortunately,the body's immune defenses have been known to attack the modified genes and make them lose their effects before they can start their task and progress in the field has been held up by the lack of a suitable carrier.'The HIV virus has the ability to escape from,and.then destroy,the immune defense cells designed to protect our bodies and this makes it attractive to scientists as a way of secretly conveying replacement genes into patients'bodies.1FDA has approved the plan of using HIV to cure cancer in humansA RightB WrongC Not mentioned2The idea of using HIV for a beneficial purpose has been widely accepted.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned3HIV can be safely used to cure cancer only if the deadly genes have been removedA RightB WrongC Not mentioned4The HIV virus is an excellent warrior to fight the body's immune cellsA RightB WrongC Not mentioned5Other countries are also expected to begin clinical gene therapy trials soonA RightB WrongC Not mentioned6It is the lack of money that has held up the progress in using replacement genes to cure cancer.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned7The HIV virus has caused more deaths in developed countries.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned【参考答案】1.B2.B3.A4.A5.C6.B7.CInhalable Water DropletsYou think that the biggest threat to your health when taking a shower comes from slipping on a bar of soap?Well,guess again.Preliminary studies by engineers at the University of Cincinnati and the Oak Ridge Institute for science and education,also in Cincinnati,indicate that some water-saving shower nozzles produce water droplets so small they can be inhaled,exposing anyone using the shower to several different health hazards.Using a device called an optical particle counter the researchers tested a number of shower nozzles,both of adjustable and fix-spray styles.They found that some products create droplets less than10microns in diameter-small enough to be inhaled.That\'s problem,the researchers theorise, because the water may contain trace of chemicals used by treatment facilities to kill microbes and bacteria in the water.These organic compounds are relatively safe to take in by drinking,but may not be safe to inhale.Another threat may be possible as well.Previous research has shown that the droplets can contain microbes that live inside the warm,wet interior of shower nozzles.When the faucet is turn on,these microbes are swept out through the nozzles. If these droplets are inhaled,the microbes could pose a threat to people who are with asthma and other respiratory problems.All of this doesn't mean you should skip your morning shower just yet.More research is needed,cautious oak ridge institute scientist Virendra Sethi says,before anyone can determine just how serious—or insignificant—these health risks may be. Moreover,not all water-conserving nozzles produce inhalable droplets."It all depends on the design of the nozzle,"says Sethi.Right now there is no way for consumers to know which nozzle produce these tiny drops."We are working to develop specifications for shower head designs that would not generate droplets in the inhalable size range,"he adds.1.The first paragraph is a question to which the author hopes to have a positive answer from the reader.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned2.Shower nozzles shower nozzles that produce waterdroplets,big and small,can expose anyone using the shower to health problems.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned3.The chemicals contained in water kill bacteria to make it safe for drinking.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned4.The problem that inhalable water droplets produce is that they may expose people with respiratory problems to health hazards.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned5.The adjustable type of nozzles are less dangerous than the fixed one.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned6.People with asthma and other respiratory problems should avoid taking showers.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned7.To overcome the problem caused by inhalable water droplets,Sethi,per haps with some other researchers,is drawing up standards for safe shower head designs.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned答案;BBAABCARiches and Romance From France’s Wine HarvestSeptember is harvest time.And with bunches of grapes swinging(摇摆)in the wind,the vineyards of southern France are getting ready to celebrate it.The yearly wine festival is held in honour of Bacchus,the Roman god of wine.It's a fun time with parties,music,dancing,big meals and,of course,lots of wine.French wine-making began more than2,500years ago.The world’s oldest type of vine grows in France and always produces a good quality wine.Today France produces one-fifth of the world’s wine,and some of the most famous varieties.The top wine-producing areas are Bordeaux,Burgundy and the Loire Valley.Champagne,a drink used in celebrations,is named after the place where sparkling(有汽泡的)wine was first produced in1700.Wine is made from the juice of freshly picked grapes.It is the sugars that turn into alcohol.Traditionally,people used to take off their shoes and crush the grapes with their bare feet to bring out the juice.Nowadays,this practice is usually carried out by machines.Each wine producing region has its own character,based on its type of grapes and soil.The taste of wine changes with time.Until1850,all Frenchchampagne was sweet.Now,both wine and champagne taste slightly bitter.The drink has always been linked with riches,romance and nobleness.Yet the French think of it in more ordinary terms.They believe it makes daily living easier,less hurried and with fewer problems.“All its links are with times when people are at their best;with relaxation,happiness,long slow meals and the free flow of ideas,”wrote wine expert Hugh Johnson.1All French people celebrate the grape harvest every September.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned2In the yearly wine festival,people always enjoy themselves.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned3Wine—making in France has a history of over2,500years.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned4Many varieties of wine produced in France are named after places.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned5Different regions in France produce different types of wine.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned6French wine will taste sour(酸的)in future.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned7The French people believe that drinking wine is a good way to relax.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned答案:BAACACAThanksgiving with the WatsonsPeople came to America from every country in the world and brought the traditions of their ancestors with them.Thus,most American traditions are not really American.But Thanksgiving (感恩节)is different because it started in America.So it is a truly American tradition.Life provides many good and bad things.Every year,in November,Thanksgiving Day reminds us of the good things in life,and people are thankful.On this day people usually eat turkey and great quantities of other foods.Jesse has decided to spend Thanksgiving with David and Elizabeth Watson because he likes them,and because he cannot go to his parents'home in Chicago.Elizabeth's nickname(昵称)is Betty,and people usually call her that.She is the secretary of Jesse's boss.Jesse gotto know the Watsons two years ago and he and Dave have become good friends.Sometimes they go fishing or to a ball game together.The Watsons live in a small apartment in a suburb of New York City.The offices where Betty works are in downtown New York,and she has to take a bus and two subway trains to go to work every day.It takes her about one hour to get there. She finds the trip boring and tiring.She wants to stay home in order to take care of the family and enjoy the children.The Watsons have three children.Their daughter Sue is in the fourth grade and their son Paul is in the second grade.They also have a two-year-old daughter,Ann.The children like Jesse;he is their hero.He tells them stories about foreign countries,about Africa and China,about the Pacific and Japan;he has never even seen most of these countries.He knows about fast cars and new inventions.The Watson children think that Jesse is full of adventures;he is fascinating to them.Frequently he takes them to the park and joins them in their games.Today Jesse brought Sue a record of her favorite music,because she has a new record player.He also brought Paul a toy truck and Ann a plastic(塑料)book with bright pictures,andBetty a bunch of flowers.Betty cooked a nice turkey,and they all ate too much.After dinner the children wanted to go out to the park with Jesse.But they had to stay home,because it was ter,Dave and Jesse sat down in front of the TV to watch a football game.1Thanksgiving is not a truly American traditionA RightB WrongC Not mentioned2Thanksgiving Day falls on the4th Thursday in November.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned3The turkey is a most popular food on Thanksgiving DayA RightB WrongC Not mentioned4Jesse and his boss are good friends.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned5Elizabeth enjoys going to work in downtown New YorkA RightB WrongC Not mentioned6The children like Jesse because he once traveled around the worldA RightB WrongC Not mentioned7Jesse had a good time in his friends'homeA RightB WrongC Not mentioned【参考答案】1.B2.C3.A4.C5.B6.B7.BA Pay Rise or Not?"Unless I get a rise,I'll have a talk with the boss,Henry Manley,"George Strong said to himself.George liked his job and he liked the town he lived in,but his wife kept telling him that his pay was not enough to meet the needs of the family. That was why he was thinking of taking a job in Birmingham,a nearby city,about50miles away.He had been offered a job in a factory there,and the pay was far better.George lived in Wyeford,a medium-sized town.He really liked the place and didn't like the idea of moving somewhere else,but if he took the job in Birmingham,he would have to move his family there.Henry Manley was the manager of a small company manufacturing electric motors.The company was in deep trouble because,among other reasons,the Japanese were selling such things at very low prices.As a result,Manley had to cut his own prices and profits as well.Otherwise he would not get any orders at all.Even then,orders were still not coming in fast enough,so that there was no money for raises(加工资)for his workers Somehow,he had to struggle along and keep his best workers as well.He sighed.Just then the phone rang.His secretary told him that George Strong wanted to see himas soon as possible.Manley sighed again.He could guess what it was about.George Strong was a very young engineer.The company had no future unless it could attract and keep men like him Manley rubbed his forehead(前额);his problems seemed endless.1Henry Manley was already deeply in debt.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned2The job that had been offered to George in Birmingham paid better.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned3If George took the job in Birmingham,he would have to leave his family at Wyeford.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned4Henry Manley's company was in deep trouble.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned5Henry Manley's company was making enough profits to raise the workers'wagesA RightB WrongC Not mentioned6Henry Manley had no idea at all why George Strong wanted to see himA RightB WrongC Not mentioned7George Strong was the best engineer in Henry Manley's company.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned【参考答案】1.C2.A3.B4.A5.B6.B7.C。
