Finally her husband said, “Choose me or the computer.”She divorced him.Psychologist Kimberly Young, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Pittsburgh's Bradford campus, found that 76 percent of the subjects in the study spends an average of 40 hours a week on the Internet.Of 396 people who met Young ' criteria （标准）for addicted Internet users, 157 were men, 239 women. The men were younger with an average age of 29; the women average 43 years of age.The largest group of addicted users of the Internet was people who were not working outside the home; that is, homemakers, students and those who were disabled or retired.In a presentation at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association in Toronto, 82 percent of the addicted users said that they had slowly drifted into their addictions. （278 words）36.

Some of his wheat was lying flat on the ground. The flattened （被压平的）wheat formed a circle about six meters across. Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat. In the following years more and more similar circles were found in a field of wheat or corn. So people cannot help but ask the question: What causes the circles?At first, people suspected that the circles were a trick. To prove that the circles were a trick, people tried to copy them: they tried to make circles exactly like the ones the farmers had found. They couldn't do it. They couldn't enter a field of grain without leaving tracks, and they couldn't flatten the grain without breaking it. The circles are apparently not a trick.Many people believe that beings from outer space are making the circles. Some think that the beings are trying to communicate with us from far away and that the circles are messages from them. Others believe that the beings have actually landed on earth and that the circles are marks left by their spaceships. Several times people reported seeing strange flying objects near fields where circles later appeared.Scientists say they're not sure what causes them. They have suggested several theories. For example, some scientists say that "microbursts" of wind created the circles. A microburst is a downward rush of cool air —the same downward rush of air that sometimes causes an airplane to crash. Other scientists say that forces within the earth cause the circles to appear. But circles often appear in forms. It is hard to believe that any natural force could create those forms. And recently farmers have discovered not only circles but also other shapes such as triangles in their fields. Could any natural force created a perfect triangle in a field of grain?In the summer of 1990 some scientists spent three weeks in the part of England where many circles have appeared. They had all the latest high-tech equipment. This equipment —worth 1.8 million dollars —recorded nothing. But one night, as the scientists were watching a field, circles formed in the field behind them. These circles are shown in the photograph. The scientists had neither seen nor heard anything. (402 words)41. What causes the circles?A. Teenagers.B. Farmers.C. Flying objects.D. None of the above.42. The thing that proves that the circles were not a trick is that _______ .A. two men said they made the circles themselvesB. farmers were making the circles to attract touristsC. people cannot copy the circles without leaving marks or breaking the grainD. scientists suggest theories that support the idea that circles were made by naturalforces43. The circles mean _______ .A. that beings from outer space are trying to communicate with human beingsB. that beings from outer space have visited the earthC. that there do exist strange flying objectsD. none of the above44. The only thing for the scientists to be happy about in the summer of 1990 is possibly .A. that they discovered how the circles were madeB. that they saw the circles with the help of the latest high-tech equipmentC. that they were able to show the circles in a photographD. none of the above45. A proper title for this passage is ______ .A. An Unsolved MysteryB. Strange Flying ObjectsC. The Power of Natural ForcesD. The Discovery of Strange CirclesPassage 3Accidents are caused; they don't just happen. The reason may be easy to see: an overloaded tray, a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the road. But more often than not there is a chain of events leading up to the misfortune-frustration, tiredness or just bad temper-that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself.Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with (和…人争执)themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.By definition, an accident is something you cannot predict or avoid, and the idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused a majority of criminallycareless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness of thoughtlessness.It is not always, clear, either, what sort of conditions make people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety precautions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are absent from work due to an accident-noise and fatigue, boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.46. This passage might be taken from ____________ .A. a text bookB. a science fictionC. a popular magazineD. an annual report of a company47. The writer indicates that __________ .A. British people are often absent-minded.B. doctors should work in factories to avoid accidents.C. drivers are the only factor leading to road accidents.D. there are always some people who fail to observe regulations.48. Which of the following is not mentioned as a factor of accidents?A. anxietyB. tirednessC. bad weatherD. carelessness49. “Accident-prone ”(Para.2)probably means “_________ . ”A. liable to have accidentsB. likely to be killed in accidentsC. responsible for road accidentsD. possible to avoid accidents50. Which of the following could serve as the best title for this passage?A. Causes of AccidentsB. Prevention of AccidentsC. Results of AccidentsD. Accidents and anxietyPassage 4America s'most creative playwright today is a 47-year-old black man who grew up in a Pittsburgh slum, dropped out of secondary school, did most of his reading at the neighborhood public library, and never saw plays until he started to write them. His name is August Wilson,and his plays, which all are about the 20 th century black experience in urba n America, have won him audie nee 'sacclaim（喝彩）,critical approval and innu merable awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes, in 1987 for “Fences”and in 1990 for “The Piano Lesson”.August Wilson was born in 1945 in Pittsburgh, of a white father and a black mother. His father , a baker of German descent, had just about abandoned the family and was rarely at home. His mother, Daisy Wilson, who had migrated north from North Carolina, raised August and his three sisters on her scanty wages as a cleaning lady and on her welfare checks, in a two-room cold-water flat. His friends, his neighbors, his surroundings all were black, and he became familiar with black speech and thought-processes. Later on, when the family moved to a somewhat better, more mixed neighborhood, he still retained his black connections and interests. But he developed affinities （爱好）of his own, too. Especially an affinity for reading, which his mother taught him by age five.“My mother believed that if you could read, anything was possible, ”he has said. “I read everything there was at the Carnegie Library, two blocks from the house. When I was 14, I discovered the ‘Negro Section s.That s s what it was called. It consisted of 30 books or so on two little shelves. I still can remember how great it was when I read Ralph Ellison s s ‘Invisible Man s. I guess from the time I was 12 I wanted to write poetry. Not plays.

Unit 1Where there is a will, there is a way. This proverb means that if you are really determined to do something, however difficult it might be, you will 1)F.eventually find a way to do it well. The2) point is that you must have the will to achieve success. Ninety percent of the failures that occur are due to the fact that there is no strong will involved. Many people simply say that they want something, but they do not make any 3) to achieve it. So, instead of getting it, they use the poorest excuse to explain the situation away.On many occasions, people tend to 4) every minute obstacle, making the objective impossible to attain. In reality, if they have the will to succeed, they can get rid of the 5) and achieve their goals.Only those with a(n) 6)N. committed and focused will and spirit can fight their way to final victory. Many a famous man has the same experience. They have 7)their prestige because they have had the will to 8)apparently insuperable (无法克服的) obstacles. Many artists, statesmen, writers and inventors have manged to succeed because they possess a fierce will, which has helped them to accomplish major 9)K. feats.Therefore, we can see that the main thing which one needs is a strong will. Weak-willed people never climb to the top. They collapse at the 10) use of force against them. Strong-willed people, on the other hand will stand up against all odds and will make it a point to succeed.Unit 2实现中华民族伟大复兴（rejuvenation）是近代以来中国人民最伟大的梦想，我们称之为“中国梦”，其基本内涵是实现国家富强、民族振兴、人民幸福。

新视野大学英语三级模拟试题及答案Part I Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)Directions: In this section, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly.For questions 1–7, markY (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage; N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage; NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage. For questions 8–10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Youth of Today—No savings, no pension, huge debts —Leaving school or university means financial independence — but does it also mean debt? Some experts say the young should take some care.It is life, but not as we know it. As this year’s school leavers and graduate s in Britain move on to further education or work, tasting financial independence for the first time, they show signs of being entirely different to previous generations in their attitudes to money, according to information collected by Cash. Used to debt but more affluent than previous generations, the current crop of 16- to 24-year-olds is a complex sector of society. But if they can handle their debts, these 7.5 million young adults have the potential to become quite sophisticated on money matters.Cash looked for the financial hallmarks of this group.They are going to be big spenders and will be targeted heavily by retailers. ―The market for products and services aimed at this group has continued to thrive,‖ concludes research organization Mintel in its recent report for retailers ―Selling to and Profi ting from the Under 25s”. This is “partly because the period during which people are young, free and single, unencumbered （不受妨碍的）by parents and /or children has expanded to the late twenties and early thirties,”it says.While 13 percent of the population regularly pays their utility（公共设施）, credit card and other bills late, this proportion rises to a remarkable 64 percent for 18- to 24-year-olds, according to research conducted among 1,000 adults by . In theory, this suggests that more than 4 million of them are heading for such poor credit ratings that they will find it difficult to borrow in the future. But lenders may become more flexible in their lending terms rather than lose out on this huge sector of the consumer market.Nearly one in three (28 percent) of people under 35 ―do not consider their future financial position‖, according to research from Accenture H R Services.Although half of 18- to 25-year-olds want to own their home some day, they see almost insurmountable hurdles, according to Mintel: ―For those who had not yet bought their own property, the prospect of trying to do so seemed daunting — if not impossible —financially.‖ Or could it be that their future prosperity will depend on whether they inherit property from their parents?They regard as necessities many items which were seen as luxuries by their parents at the same age. More than nine out of 10 have their own mobile phone. ―Some looked on their phone as a kind of security blanket, feeling lost without it,‖ says Mintel. A car is seen as ―vital‖ by 64 percentof 18- to 25-year-olds, and designer clothes are worn by 44 percent of men and 35 percent of women in this age group, adds Mintel. Computer equipment is a high priority for many twenty-year-olds. Audio-visual equipment is particularly valued by young men.Credit card ownership is increasing. Nearly two thirds of young adults have a card. More than half (58 percent) of the under-25s do not pay off their credit card bill in full each month, according to Mintel —including 16 percent who owe more than ￡500. With credit card ownership predicted to increase nearly 20 percent by 2009, the younger age group could be increasingly targeted, as they are more accustomed to borrowing than older groups.Debt is commonplace in this age group. Barclays predicts that graduate debt will average ￡17,500 in 2006, rising to nearly ￡34,000 by 2010.A third of this group believe they are ―too young‖ to start thinking about a pension, according to Accenture. ―There is a sea change in behavior going on here,‖ says Mervyn Kohler of Help the Aged. ―For recent graduates who are saddled with debt and struggling to buy a home, the last thing they would care about is pension planning. They have also heard the message that they will have to work until they drop, so they wonder why they should bother with a pension. But when they retire, they will expect the state to bail them out.‖There is evidence to back up their instincts. More than 73 percent of the current crop of forty–year–olds are on course to be on Pension Credit and other means — tested benefits when they retire, according to the Institute of Fiscal Studies. Unless changes are made to the system, this proportion will increase.Despite these disturbing findings, there is light at the end of the tunnel for the young. Helen Bowman, welfare officer at De Montfort University’s Student Finance Advice Centre, believes that many 18-year-olds get into financial difficulty out of ignorance but that ―they tend to be very, very good‖ at dealing with problems when they face up to reality.Part of the problem is that many have received little financial education from their parents. Some young adults do not even know how to shop for food and many do not realize that convenience food from corner shops will be more expensive than fruit and vegetables and other basic ingredients bought in markets or by looking for bargains, value ranges and discounts in supermarkets.The generosity of parents can also backfire. ―There does come a point where parents have to stop helping,‖ says Bowman.Credit card companies have made debt far too accessible, she believes.It could be that lending is more strictly regulated by the authorities in future. The Liberal Democrats are increasingly concerned at the easy availability of credit and this issue could well move up the political agenda. The location of cash machines in pubs does not help, especially for a generation that drinks heavily. Budgeting is hard for students who have to pay mobile phone and many other bills monthly but whose income in the form of Student Loans comes in at the start of term.But there are many cases of students getting into debt and then finding a way out of the mess, usually by getting a job. Along the way, they learn how to budget and how to avoid temptation by, for instance, leaving their plastic at home.Parents may not even be aware, in many of these cases, that their children have got into debt and then scraped their way out. And people like these, who learnt the hard way, have an understanding of money which is probably deeper than that of people who have never had difficulties.1. According to the Cash study, the young adults in Britain today form a complex sector of society because they lead a more affluent life by overdrawing their credit card.2. There are 13 percent of young adults who regularly pay their bills late.3. Over ninety percent of 18- to 25-year-olds have got their own mobile phones.4.

These small ____49____ were portraits of independence: the entire family — mother, father, children, even grandparents — living in a small house and working together to support each other.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Perhaps the most important defining characteristic of a human being is culture. The term culture as used here is not limited to operas, paintings, and other artistic endeavors. These are seen by anthropologists (人类学家) as examples of culture: culture itself is the customary manner in which human groups learn to organize their behavior and thought in relation to their environment. Defined in this manner, culture has three principal aspects: behavioral, perceptual and material. The behavioral component refers to how people act, especially how they interact with each other. In child rearing (养育) , for example, parents and children tend to interact in a relatively patterned fashion. Then there is the manner of perception, the ways people perceive the world. For example, parents have a limited range of ideas about how they should act, and what significance parenthood carries in the scheme of things. Finally, there is the material component of culture — the physical objects that we produce.Most of what goes into making up culture is a result of learning — modifying behavior in response to experience within an environment. Learning is practically universal among organisms. But no other organism has a greater capacity for learning than a human, or depends as much on learned behavior for its survival.While the survival of most other organisms is to some extent safeguarded by instincts, humans rely heavily on culture for their survival. People must learn how to live in a particular social and physical setting, biology playing but a minimal (最小限度的) role.The ideas and modes of behavior that constitute culture are transmitted largely by a complex system of symbols that includes language. Humans have evolved an extremely complex system of communication that is unique to our species. Without it the creation of human culture as we know it would be impossible.57. What is the definition of culture by anthropologists?A) Operas, paintings and may other artistic activities as a whole.B) Customary manners of behavior and thought related to the environment.C) Behavioral, perceptual and material components interacting with each other.D) The different ways people perceive the physical world.58. According to the passage, the behavior of making tools for producing material objects should fall within the category of _________ component of culture.A) behavioral B) perceptual C) material D) artistic59. Learning is most essential for _________.A) all the organisms to surviveB) all the organisms to acquire learned behaviorC) human beings to respond to experience within an environmentD) human beings to survive and live in a society60. What’s the element to human culture?A) Communication in language.B) Biological adaptation to the environmentC) Safeguarding by instinctsD) Learning to survive61. Which of the following statements is True?A) The capacity for learning can only be observed in human beings.B) Biology plays an important role in humans’ living in a social and physical setting.C) Human behavior and thought do not have anything to do with culture.D) If there were no language communication, humans couldn’t have created the present culture.Passage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.The best kept secret in San Diego is waiting to offer you a delightful getaway — without leaving town.Less than three years ago, the Parisi Hotel was just an office building above the shops on the corner of Prospect Street. Now, that valuable space is an intimate luxury hotel —with several rooms overlooking the ocean.

I was alone, quite ill and had to delay my flight home. Luckily, when booking my ticket months before, I had bought travel insurance. So my illness didn’t cost me a cent.It’s actually pretty simple. A lot of unforeseen things can happen to you when you’re traveling. Make sure you’re prepared for all of them.A good health insurance policy will get you proper medical attention anywhere in the world outside your home province —at the insurance company’s expense. The company will sen d you home if it is considered medically necessary and, if you’re sick enough, it will send a nurse to accompany you. If you end up in a hospital and a doctor recommends that a family member come to your bedside, the insurance company will pay for it. You may even get pocket money to make your hospital stay more comfortable.When I was sick in Bombay, I called the insurance company collect. It paid for a doctor(who came to my hotel room), all my medication, an extra night in the hotel and all my meals.Picture it: the day before your big trip to Vancouver, you wake up with appendicitis (阑尾炎). You have no choice —you have to cancel your trip. Your ticket, like most, is non-refundable and you can’t make any changes. You’re about to lose all the money you put out for the ticket —unless you bought cancellation insurance beforehand.Most travel plans include some form of non-refundable element: your deposit, your flights, your cruise, your stay at the all-inclusive resort. That non-refund able portion is what you’ll lose if you have to cancel your trip in the event that you get sick and you don’t have cancellation insurance.67. What happened to the author when he was in Bombay?A) He fell ill and couldn’t go home as scheduled.B) He didn’t buy travel insurance.C) He spent a lot of money on curing his illness.D) He couldn’t get in touch with his family and friends.68. With a health insurance policy, if you get sick traveling away from home, _________.A) you may get pocket money from the local hospital you are inB) your family members may go to see you at the insurance company’s expenseC) you may choose to stay in the best local hospitalD) you may get a nurse from the insurance company to take care of you69. Which item was paid by the insurance company when the author was ill in Bombay?A) His trip to Bombay.B) All his hotel rates.C) All his meals at his hotel.D) His travel insurance policy.70. With cancellation insurance, you can _________.A) have a choice where to go and where to stayB) get your money back when canceling your travel ticketC) enjoy a reduced rate of travel expenseD) buy a refundable ticket at the ticket office71. From the passage we may say that _________.A) a health insurance policy is more useful than a cancellation insurance policyB) a cancellation insurance policy can make your trip safe and comfortableC) when you get si ck while traveling away from home, you’d better buy a health insuranceD) travel insurance is strongly recommended when you travel away from homePart IV ClozeDirections: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

新视野英语3级复习题Reading ComprehensionPassage 1Most Americans will tell you that character education in schools is a good idea. According to pollsters （作民意测验的人），90% of us want schools to teach core moral values. But what should "'character education" look like? And more important, does it work?Take a look at Traut Core Knowledge School in Fort Collins, Colo. Traut Core is a public school with a waiting list of 500 students. A strong focus on 12 core values throughout the school culture has contributed to high academic achievement a Traut Core. The school now ranks first in reading and in the top five in math out of the 26 schools in the district.Private schools are also on the list. The Montrose School in Natick, Mass. Has daily homerooms that focus on character discussions and leadership, and the school provides many opportunities for service to others. At Montrose, moral development is inseparable from academic achievement.Wake County Public Schools in North Carolina is a case study in how to get comprehensive character education programs going in every school. Beginning in 1992, the district appointed a task force with broad representation from the community. Public meetings were held, surveys sent out, and other efforts made to ensure that character education in the schools would be built on the shared moral values of the citizens in this large and diverse district.Today, character education is part of the mission of every Wake County school. The district provides in-service training and resources for teachers, encourages parental involvement and evaluates the results.Higher academic achievement, lower drop-out （辍学）rates, fewer discipline problems, a more positive and caring school environment—who doesn't want schools like these? And who wouldn't like to see students who are more caring, respectful, honest and responsible?A,l） Judging from the first paragraph, what's the writer's attitude to '"character education"?A.PositiveB. Ironical （讽刺的）C. SuggestiveD. Opposite.D,2） The phrase "a waiting list of 500 students" in Line 2, para. 2 probably means that there are 500 students.A.studying thereB. enrolling thereC. graduating thereD. waiting for admissionD,3） Among the private schools willing to teach moral values.A.Traut Core has daily homerooms that focus on character discussions and leadershipB.the Montrose School focus on 12 core valuesC.Traut Core provides many opportunities for service to othersD.the Montrose School makes progress both academically and morallyC,4） Character education, according to the last paragraph, will result in all of the following exceptA.lower drop-out ratesB. higher academic achievementC. a less positive and caring environmentD. fewer discipline problemsD,5） Which is not true according to the passage?A.Academic achievement is closely associated with moral development.B.Higher academic achievement is inseparable from moral development.C.Moral development exerts influence on academic achievement.D.Moral development has nothing to do with academic achievement.Passage 2Throughout the past century humanity （人类）did everything in its power to control nature. We dammed earth's rivers, chopped down the forests and exhausted the soils. Burning up fuels, we pumped a great deal of greenhouse gasses into the air, altering the chemistry of the atmosphere and warming the planet in just a few decades. And as out population began the year 200 above the 6 billion mark, still spreading across the continents, dozens of animal and plant species were dying out every day, including the first primate （灵长类）to disappear in more than 100 years.At the start of the 21st century there were unmistakable signs that nature was beginning to take its revenge （才艮复）.Melting ice in both poles of the earth suggested that the climate was changing rapidly. Weather was even more changeable than usual, giving some places too little rain and others too much. Fires raced across the dried American West last summer, and recent storms spread damages from Britain to China. No specific event could be directly blamed on global warming, floods and drought （干旱）will be more frequent一and severe. Other sad signs from an overburdened planet include falling grain and fish harvests and fiercer （激烈的）competition for scarce water supplies.But there were also, in the year 2000, signs of great awareness. Connected by the Internet, hundreds of millions people gathered for the 30th anniversary of Earth Day. Governments from Washington to Lima took steps to protect the large wild areas from development. Progress was made toward using more renewable energy from the wind and the sun, and new cars hat used both gasoline and electricity sported （显示）fuel-economy statistics.The goal for the new century is “sustainable （可持续的）development”. Is that possible? It depends on how well we understand that humanity is part of nature, not lord and master.1）W hat is the result of the human control over the nature?A.Natural resources are being exhausted.B.There is a global warming effect.C.Species of animals and plants are reduced.D.All of the above.2） It can be inferred from the passage that scarce water supplies are directly caused by.A.less ice in both polesB.the more changeable weatherC.something not mentioned in the textD.the larger population3） Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.The America suffered a lot from fires last summer in the west.B.The American government tried to stop development.C.Humanity built many dams in the past century.D.Dozens of animals and plants will no longer exist in more than 100 years.4） The phrase "sustainable development,, in the last paragraph probably means that economic development will.A.continue for a long timeB.be more profitable than beforeC.support our growing populationD.make full use of natural resources5)The main purpose of the author is to make us.A.see what damage humanity did to natureB.fight with nature and control itC.have more celebrations of Earth DayD.aware of the importance of environment protectionPassage 3One of the strongest reasons for the raising of the school leaving age (ROSLA) has been that it will bring us nearer to the ideal of "equal opportunity".Many people like to think of our present system of schooling as providing plenty of steps up the ladder of success for clever children. It would be good to think that no one who is really bright can be missed out when the state system is apparently so thorough. It is obvious, for instance, that many children from less rich homes reach university or do well in other ways.Unfortunately, we now have plenty of evidence that many children of every level of ability do much less well than they could. For instance, during the years of national military service it was possible to test the intelligence (智力)of all male 18-20 year olds. Half of those soldiers who were placed in the two highest ability groups had left schools at 15.It has also been shown that the percentage of working class children going to university is almost the same now as it was in 1939. One study of 5000 children from birth to 21 years old indicated that up to half the bright pupils from working class home left school when they reached 16 years old. Moreover, there is no difference in intelligence between the sexes, but far more boys than girls stay in education after 16.It is clear from this and much other evidence that many children are still leaving school too early to benefit from the prizes—money, social respectability, and interesting jobs, which higher education gives. It is clear too that the reasons why such children leave have much to do with their social circumstances (f青形，环境).Their parents often need the extra money another wage-earner can bring in; they do not value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy. It is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school, rather that they tend to say, “It's up to you”.1)It is hoped that ROSLA will give all children.A. a more enjoyable time at schoolB.the same chances in societyC.the right to a better schoolD.higher scores in intelligence tests2)People would like to think that.A.equal numbers of poor and rich children reach universityB.those with the least money get the best educationC.intelligent children are always chosen by the systemD.only clever children do well3)Working class children are felt to be at a disadvantage because.A.many of the clever ones leave school earlyB.fewer go to university than ever beforeC.more than half leave school when they are 16D.fewer boys than girls stay at school after 164） Many children leave school early because.A.their social circumstances make them unhappyB.they have to work to support their family's incomeC.their school is a dull and unhappy placeD.their parents don't allow them to make their own decisions5） This article shows that equal opportunity in education.A.is a thing of the pastB. has not yet been achievedC. is there for those who merit itD. has greatly improved our societyPassage 4As a science writer, I don't have to wear emotional armor （装甲）very often. Before I went to Zimbabwe for a visit, I had talked to other reporters who had spent time in Africa. All told me to get prepared for the orphans （孤儿）—many of whom had caught the AIDS virus from their mothers—and the strong desire to make everything all right for them.Then again, nothing could have prepared me for the visit to a creche （育婴堂）for AIDS orphans in Harare, where one sick, smiling four-year-old boy tried to keep up with the other kids playing ring-around-the rosy but was so weak he kept falling to the floor, or meeting a 25-year-old unmarried girl who cared for her nephew even though her only income was from growing and selling a few vegetables at the local market. The boy who called his aunt "Mama" was too weak even to take the piece of banana I offered.Meanwhile photojoumalist （摄影记者）Karin Retief was visiting a room at he hospice （济贫院）where she had been told a particularly sweet orphan boy stayed. At first she did not see anyone on the bed and was about to say he must be elsewhere, when suddenly she spotted his tiny arm in the air, his body lost in the folds of the bed clothes.Recently Karin wrote to me that she had been able to deep our assignment from taking too great an emotional suffering at the time. "Only when I got back, about a week later, could I mourn （哀悼）the people I met," she continued. "I sat in church and wanted to ask the priest （牧师）to pray （祈祷）for the people with AIDS in Zimbabwe and all over the world. Then all the people's faces, pain and suffering became so real, I could not get the words out. I broke down and cried and cried for them,,,1）The title for the passage might be.A.Africa's ChildrenB. Suffering AIDS OrphansC. Care for AIDS ChildrenD. Zimbabwe's Situation2） Which is NOT true about the 25-year-old woman?A.She cares for her nephew.B.She has little income.C.Her nephew called her Mama.D.She had a four-year-old boy.3） When Karin Retief came to the hospice.A.the orphan boy's arm was cut in the airB.the orphan boy was elsewhereC.the orphan boy was just in bedD.the orphan boy's body was lost4)"Broke down" in the last paragraph most probably means.A.stopped herself suddenlyB.lost control of herselfC.fell down herselfD.got disturbed herself5)The purpose of the people visiting Zimbabwe was to.A.provide medicines for the AIDS orphansB.find out the causes of the AIDSC.look after the AIDS orphansD.report the conditions of the AIDS orphansPassage 5There are growing environmental concerns about the air near the destroyed World Trade Center in New York City. The two huge buildings were destroyed September eleventh when terrorists crashed two passenger planes into them. Some people say they are suffering health problems as a result o the attacks. When the World Trade Center fell, it left about one million tons of crushed concrete, glass and dust. Some people fear that cancer-causing substances may have been released into the air from the resulting fires and smoke. For example, asbestos (石棉)and other harmful substances were used in building the World Trade Center.Since September eleventh, federal, state and local agencies have been testing the air in and around the ruined area. Scientists from universities, medical schools and private companies also are doing tests. They are looking for the presence of pollutants (污染物)in the air that might present a health risk to the workers removing the wreckage and to the public. Federal officials say no long-term health risks have been discovered so far.Yet, doctors say many of the workers have been suffering from severe cough, chest pain, nose bleeds and breathing problem. Many workers with continuing problems have taken legal action against the city. Doctors say rescue workers and other people who worked in the area for a long period of time are most at risk for health problems. Workers who did not wear protective coverings on their faces are at even greater risk.About forty thousand people live near the ruins of the World Trade Center. Some of these people worry that open trucks carrying the ruins from the area are still spreading pollutants.Some people have criticized New York City's clean-up efforts, as many buildings in the area have not been cleaned. And the information released to the public from air quality tests is often confusing, and the federal government should keep close watch on clean-up efforts.1)The major point discussed in the passage is.A.the effect of the September 11 attacks on New York CityB.health problem people suffer resulting from the September 11 attacksC.the effort of the cleaning up of buildings in the areaD.the effect on the health of the people of the ruined area2)Many workers have taken legal action against the city because.A.they are suffering from nose bleedsB.they have continuing health problemsC.they are coughing severelyD.they have breathing problems3） Who are having greater risk of health problems, according to the passage?A.The people who live near the ruins.B.The workers who worked in the area for long time.C.The scientists who are testing the air.D.The workers who did not wear protective coverings.4） The federal government has been criticized for the following reasons EXCEPT.A.clean-up effortsB. air quality testsC. uncleaned buildingsD. the trucks carrying the ruins5） According to the passage the author the environment of the ruined area.A.is depressed withB. is satisfied withC. is worried aboutD. is confident withPassage 6Big Ben is one of London's best-known landmarks, and looks most spectacular at night when the clock faces are lighted. You even know when parliament is in session, because a light shines above the clock face.The four dials伟中面）of the clock are 23 feet square, the minute hand is 14 feet long and the figures are 2 feet high. Minutely regulated （校准）with a stack（堆）of coins placed on the huge pendulum （钟摆）,Big Ben is an excellent timekeeper, which has rarely stopped.The name Big Ben actually refers not to the clock-tower itself, but to the thirteen-ton bell hung within. The bell was named after the first commissioner 行政长官）of works, Sir Benjamin Hall. This bell came originally from the old Palace of Westminster, and was given to the Dean（教长）of St. Paul by William III. Before returning to Westminster to hang in its present home, it was refashioned in Whitechapel in 1858. The BBC first broadcast the chimes（报时）on the 31st December 1923 一there is a microphone（扩音器）in the turret （塔楼）connected to Broadcasting House.During the Second World War in 1941, a bomb destroyed the Lower Chamber（众议院，下院）of the Houses of Parliament, but the clock tower remained intact and Big Ben continued to keep time and strike away the hours, its unique sound was broadcast to the nation and around the world, a welcome reassurance （'恢复信£'）of hope to all who heard it.The tower is not open to the general public, but those with a "special interest" may arrange a visit to the top of the Clock Tower through their local （UK） MP.1） When parliament has a meetingA.Big Ben lights the parliamentB.the clock faces are lightedC. a light is on above the faceD.Big Ben strikes the time2） Which of following statements is true according to the passage?A.Big Ben has only one hand.B.Coins are used to make Big Ben work more precisely.C.Big Ben has never stopped.D.Big Ben has a huge pendulum made of coins.3） The bell was once owned by.A.the old Palace of WestminsterB.Sir Benjamin HallC.The Dean of St. PaulD.The BBC4） The BBC first broadcast the chimes on the eve of.A.1858B.1923C. 1924D. 19145）The word “intact" in Line 2, Para.4 probably means.A.UninjuredB. uncutC. unharmedD. undamagedPassage 7Valentine's Day probably has its origin in the ancient Roman celebration called Lupercalia （牧神节）.It was celebrated on February 15. In the Roman calendar February was in the spring. The celebration honored the gods Lupercus and Faunus as well as the twin brothers Romulus and Remus, the legendary （传说的）founders of Rome. As part of the ceremony the priests paired up young men and women. The girls' names were placed in a box and each boy drew a girl's name. The couple was paired then until the next Lupercalia.In 260 AD the emperor Claudius II, called Claudius the Cruel, decided that young soldiers would only be distracted by marriage and so ordered that young men might not marry. Valetinus （Valentine）, a Christian priest, defied the emperor and married young people in secret. He was caught and executed （处死）on February 14, the eve of Lupercalia. His name became associated with young love forever after. In 496, Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honor his as Saint Valentine and it has been St. Valentine's Day ever since.In the Middle Ages some of the customs of the Lupercalia still persisted （坚持）in spite of the attempts of the Church to put an end to these non-Christian customs and to Christianize the holiday. Both men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear the names on their sleeves （袖子）for a week. Today we still sometimes "wear our hearts on our sleeves,, when we cannot conceal our feelings.In the 1600s, it became common to give flowers, particularly the rose, as a sign of love as the "language of flowers" came to Europe from Turkey. The color and placement of the rose held a special significance—a red rose, for example, meant beauty. Flowers have been part of Valentine's Day every since.1）T he main purpose of this passage is.A.to tell us the story of Valentinus, a Christian priestB.to trace （追溯）back the origin of Valentine's DayC.to introduce the custom of Valentine's DayD.to explain the relationship between marriage and religion2） According to the second paragraph, young soldiers were not allowed to marry because the emperor thought.A.they were too young to marryB.it was illegalC.they would be disturbed by marriageD.none of the above3） What is the probable meaning of the world "defied'' in Line 3 of Paragraph 2?B. Followed. D.CondemnedA. Refused to obey.C. Cheated. 4) According to Paragraph 3, what does it mean when it says "wear our hearts on our sleeves?,5A. To show our true feelings openly.B. To hide our true feelings.C. To keep our feelings in our mind.D. Both B and C.5) The day February 14 has been St. Valentine 5s Day since.A. the ancient RomeB. 260 ADC. Valentinus was caught and executedD. 496 ADPassage 8Having raised eight children of my own, I know the dilemma (左右为难)parents face. In a world increasingly hostile to children, we want to show we care by acting on our loving impulses, which usually means spending. But when our kids came home asking for the latest designer wear, my wife and I knew we had to say "no" more often than not. Of course, deciding to have no TV in the house was the first real breakthrough; I doubt we would have won this battle without freeing ourselves from its influence.As a child, I grew up in what I now see was poverty. For the first few years of my life, I ate only the smallest amount. Yet, I would find it hard to imagine a happier childhood. Why? Because my parents gave us children time and attention on a daily basis. For instance, no matter how buy they were, they tried to eat breakfast with us before we went off to school each morning.No child should have to live in poverty. But I firmly believe that the happiness of a child does not depend on his or her access (接近)to material wealth. After all, it is the love we give our children, and not the things, that will remain with them for life.Having worked thirty years as a family counselor, I know that parents really do love their children, and want to do what is best for them. But what does it mean to give a child love? Next time you feel that you have failed your kids, and are tempted to relieve those feelings by bringing home gifts, remember that we can't buy our children's affection. All they really want, and need, is time and attentiveness, a listening and an encouraging word. There are things every parent can provide.1) What the author most concerns about is.A. how to make children pleasedB. how to give children the true loveC. how to educate his childrenD. how to meet the children's needs2) According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. The author lived in a poor family when he was very young.B. He never bought any gifts to his children.C. When he was a child, his parents cared him and other children much in their own way.D. Every parents has the ability to provide love for his or her children.3) In Paragraph 1, when the author says, "But when our kids...we had to say 'no' more often than not", he means.A. he could not afford too muchB.in order not to spoil his children, he must refuse themC.though he loved his children, he didn't always satisfy their material needsD.he wanted to fight against his children4）T he sentence "I would find it hard to imagine a happier childhood" means.A.his childhood was much happier than he could imagineB.he did not have a happy childhood because of povertyC.it's hard to imagine whether he had had a happy childhoodD.none of the above5）W hat does the author think is the best for his children?A.Gifts.B. A listening ear and an encouraging word.C.Time and attentivenessD.Both B and C.Passage 9It is hard to get any agreement on the accurate meaning of the term "social class". In everyday life, people tend to have a different approach to those they consider their equals from that which they assume with people they consider higher or lower than themselves in the social scale. The criteria we use to "place" a new acquaintance（熟人），however, are a complex mixture of factors. Dress, way of speaking, area of residence in a given city or province, education and manners all play a part.In Greece, after the sixth century B.C., there was a growing conflict between the peasants and the landed aristocrats （贵族）,and a gradual decrease in the power of the aristocracy when a kind of "middle class" of traders and skilled workers grew up. The population of Athens, for example, was divided into three main classes which were politically and legally distinct. About one third of the total were slaves, who did not count politically at all, a fact often forgotten by those who praise Athens as the nursery of democracy. The next main group consisted of resident foreigners, the "metics", who were freemen, though they two were allowed no share in political life. The third group was the powerful body of "citizens”，who were themselves divided into subclasses.In the later Middle Ages, however, the development of monetary economy and the growth of cities and trade led to the rise of another class, the "burghers" or city merchants and mayors. These were the predecessors of the modern middle classes. Gradually high office and occupation assumed importance in determining social position, as it became more and more possible for a person born to one station in life to move to another. This change affected the towns more than the country areas, where remnants of feudalism lasted much longer.With the break up of the feudal economy, the increasing division of labour, and the growing power of the town burghers（公民），the commercial and professional middle class became more and more important in Europe, and the older privileged class, the landed aristocracy, began to lose some of its power.1）The main idea of the first paragraph is that.A.to define the term social class does not involve much difficultyB.there is much alternation in people's social classesC.to evaluate a person's social class is a very complex procedureD.we can tell which social class a person belongs to by the way he behaves2） In Line 5 Paragraph 1, "criteria" most probably means.A.standards of judgementB. waysC. criticismD. characteristic3） The decline of the Greek aristocracy's power in the sixth century B.C. was the result of.A.the conflicts between the peasants and the landed aristocratsB.the foreign residentsC.slavesD.the newly emerging middle class in the sixth century4） Which of the following statements is NOT true, according to the passage?A.Slaves in Greece in the sixth centuryB.C. were not politically significant.B.The "burghers" of the later Middle Ages constituted an entirely new social class.C.To some extent, social mobility can be attributed to the growth of trade.D.The new class made up of traders and executive officials of the later Middle Ages made thedevelopment of a money economy possible.5） The best title of the passage might be.A.The Criteria for Classifying Social GroupsB.Social ClassesC.Changes in Social SystemD.The Evolution of Human SocietyPassage 10Before looking at the theological （木申学的）and moral implications of human cloning, let us first briefly look at what we mean by the cloning process. It has been described as follows: "As is used to produce the famous Scottish sheep Dolly in 1996, cloning involves removing the nucleus from an unfertilized egg, replacing it with genetic material from another cell, and using an electric impulse to join the two and start the cell division that leads to a tiny embryo （胚月台）.It is nonsexual reproduction in which the embryo's genes come from one parent instead of two. If successfully done in humans, the child would be a "delayed genetic twin5 of the parent from whom the genes were taken." With cloning, in other words, we could have a woman who is “the twin sister of her mother, without a biological father, and the daughter of her grandmother”.For what reasons is cloning being proposed （提议）? Everything from duplicating individuals with exceptional intelligence and beauty; reproducing the likeness of a dead loved one; the possibility of choosing a baby's sex; creating selected frozen embryos to be transferred in uterus （子宫）at a later time to supply spare organs, et. Others have proposed less fantastic scenarios （设想，方案）:the producing of a child in a family whose husband suffers from aspermia （无精子）or to replace the dying child of a widowed mother.Even if all of these were possible, the cloning of a human being would not mean, obviously, that we have an “exact duplicate”（复布U 品）.There is, we note, the influence of upbringing, environment, and culture. Still more significant is the spiritual soul, which as the Pontifical （主教的）Academy of Life says, "cannot be generated by the parents, produced by artificial fertilization （人工授精）or cloned.,,1）A ccording to the first paragraph which is NOT true about the cloning process?A.The nucleus is removed from the unfertilized egg.B.The nucleus is replaced with the genetic material from another cell.e the electric impulse to join the two—another cell and the nucleus.D.Start the cell division that leads to a tiny embryo.。

He had a 1.heart attack.2.of his treatment he was in a lot of pain. You see, thedoctors were able to keep his body 3., even though therewas little chance of saving him. The 4.part of it was that my grandfather, who had always been quite humorous, could 5.communicate after that. He just didn't seem to be the 6.person anymore.My grandfather was a fat man. After the 7., it took my grandmother, my mother and me to dress him each morning.After he was dressed, we 8.his pillow and sat him in his bed.His everyday life was wholly 9.of watching whatever was on the TV. He couldn't 10.change the channel.The doctors had worked hard to 11.him alive. However, a few weeks 12.they told us something disappointing. The surgical 13.had not been successful. My grandfather's condition had no 14.of improvement. Next, X-rays showed my grandfather had obtained a lung 15.—a frequent problem with stroke patients. Drugs would make him sick and could not 16.him.That was the time for us to make a 17.decision. On the one hand, we could not 18.to see our once vigorous grandfather suffering. He was living the painful, limited life to which the stroke had 19.him. On the other hand, we hated to be the one to decide to let nature take its course.At last we decided that the right thing to do would be to let him die with 20. .He died a peaceful death.Questions 21 to 40 are based on the following passage.Sometimes medical advancements present us with a toughchoice to make. People think medicine has created some 21.questions to sort out. For example, modern medical treatment can keep the body living well after patients have lost 22.tolive. We have machines to 23.as organs. And we can feed a person by letting fluids 24.into their body. This can be done25.they can't eat themselves. Sometimes, even when themind 26.functioning, the body keeps on working.Should we keep our loved ones alive through surgical procedures, hoping for a 27.? Or, 28.their treatment and only provide drugs for the pain? This would allow them to die in a more 29.way. The 30.two options are not against the law. 31.courts sometimes need to get involved. This is especially true when loved ones have 32.opinions on what should be done. There is a third option that has the 33.of a great many people, but is against the law. We can 34.the death of our loved one. This can be done 35.he no longer has to suffer.In the past, there was very 36.that could be done to save a person in great danger. Once he had 37. a serious illness, doctors could do nothing. It was not 38.for people to live long after suffering major illness. Neither did people often live long after body organ 39.. Many believe that people nowadays are kept alive for much 40.than they should be.Some even believe that the kindest thing to do for a person who is dying and in a good deal of pain is to help them to die quickly and painlessly.You must face the fact that in your inmost heart you hate the thought of moving. It is easiest not to leave the rooms where your children passed through their wonderful childhood and annoying teens to a friendly but slightly distant maturity.Until, suddenly one day, the distance is absolute and they are grown up and gone. Then you find yourself living in too large a house, which consumes in its maintenance too much energy and money. When we found ourselves in this situation a few years ago, we determined to move while we still had the strength and before the emotional ties that the old house had wrapped around us became too powerful to be broken. Move while you can! But be sure you really want to, and do not move too often. It is an exhausting process.Your first task is to find a house that will suit you. It must be smaller, quieter, easier to run, and more conveniently placed for transport. Not so small, though, that it will not have room for your largest pieces of furniture, and located not too far from the neighborhood where so many friendships have been built up.At last we found one: a late Victorian cottage, in a street where the houses, all small, range from late 18th to mid 20th century. It was near enough to where we wanted to live. It had no basement (底下层), which was a great convenience for aging legs; there were only two floors: one for ourselves and one where friends, children, and grandchildren could spread themselves when they came to stay. Each floor had two rooms. There was a kitchen on the ground floor, with the bathroom above it.1.The passage concerns ________.A. buying a house for a newly married coupleB. buying a large house for a growing familyC. buying a better house when people have more money tospendD. buying a smaller house for older people whose childrenhave left home2.The passage implies that grown-up children are _______.A. more friendly to their parents when they are grown upB. distant from their parentsC. friendly but not very closeD. annoying3.The author decided to move ________.A. when his house gave him too much work and cost too muchto runB. when he grew tired of his houseC. when he suddenly got the strength to do soD. before the house collapsed4.The author advises people in his own situation ________.A. to move into a very small houseB. to move somewhere where the largest possible pieces offurniture will fitC. not to move too far from the main roadD. to choose somewhere not so noisy5.According to the passage, the new house had _________.A. two floorsB. three floorsC. four floorsD. two bathroomsQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.Is teaching important? Well, of course it is. There was a time when all necessary knowledge could be taught to the young by family members. But as societies became more complex and division of labor more common, it was impossible for family members to teach the information and skills young people needed to become useful members of the society. As the need for specialists appeared, the job of teaching came into being in our country, and teaching as a job has been of increasing importance over the past one hundred years. Today, we have strict rules for teachers. We hope all children can go to school. Many things tell us that teaching is indeed an "important" job.In recent years, there has been an increasing need for teachers to be "responsible". This means that the public expects teachers to succeed in teaching important information to the young. Teachers' salaries today, while not much, certainly are much higher than they were in the past. These increases have come about because people have realized that quality people, individuals who are highlyable to teach, will not do it if they are not offered enough money. Today almost no one says that "anybody will do" for a teacher. The public expects "quality people" to teach the young, and progress is being made to give salaries that will make people who have abilities become teachers.6.In the author's opinion, the job of a teacher ________.A. is done best by family membersB. is too complex for most peopleC. is free of rulesD. is important for society7.The cause for the new job of "teacher" was ________.A. the increased importance of laborB. the need for specialistsC. the strict rules of the governmentD. the increased number of children in school8.According to the writer, ________ is on the increasenowadays.A. a need for teachers to have responsibility for themselvesB. a need for teachers to teach responsibility to studentsC. the numbers of students who are entering schoolD. the numbers of people who take the job of teacher9.We learn from this passage that ________.A. money encourages teachers to be responsibleB. money is not a responsible reason to become a teacherC. money is a good way to attract people to become teachersD. money was much higher for teachers in the past10.What do people hardly ever say these days?A. Anyone can be a teacher.B. Progress is being made.C. Teachers have abilities.D. Quality people are teaching the young.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog.For most people learning to drive, the driving test arises ahead as a major barrier. It is also a general source of conversation whenever drivers are gathered together. There are probably more tall stories about the driving test than about any other motoring subjects; the most remarkable thing about those stories is the number of times the old ones appear again, years after they were first heard, in new and exaggerated forms.All driving examiners have had to pass a very strict selection process, followed by at least six weeks' training. In the course of this training the Department makes sure that their driving is of a consistently high standard.Driving test centers are chosen with equal care. It would be nice to have centers and examiners town by town. But this is just not possible, because the centers have to be at places where there is enough parking space for candidates (考生) and where there are enough test routes. Routes are carefully chosen to make sure that they are all roughly comparable-the proportion of right and left turns, hills, pedestrian (行人) crossings and so on. The object of all this is to make sure, as far as possible, that all candidates in the driving test have to cope with the same sort of conditions whether they take the test in New York or California.The work that examiners do in actually carrying out tests is checked continuously by supervising examiners. This is to make as sure as possible that every candidate for the driving test has a proper and equal chance of showing the examiner, in the words of the Regulations, "that he is competent to drive without danger to and with due consideration for other users of the road." This is all that the examiner is concerned with.11.It can be learned from the passage that _______.A. whenever people learning to drive get together, they oftentalk about the driving testB. new and exaggerated stories about the test are alwaysappearingC. there are more tall stories about the driving test than anyother subjectD. the same stories about the test reappear years later12.According to the passage, driving examiners _______.A. are trained for six weeks, then have a difficult selectioninterviewB. are given regular driving tests themselves by supervisingexaminersC. sometimes have more than six weeks' trainingD. are tested during the selection process to see if their drivingis of a high standard13.There isn't a test center in every town because ________.A. some examiners can go to occasional centers from thepermanent centersB. routes and conditions have to be the same everywhereC. there has to be enough parking space for the candidatesand the examinersD. not every town could provide enough test routes close topermanent centers14.We can judge from this passage that ________.A. the detailed records are checked after each test by asupervising examinerB. sometimes candidates are tested by a supervisingexaminerC. it's true that some examiners never pass anyone onThursday afternoonsD. examiners are only concerned with a candidate's ability todrive15.It can be inferred from this passage that ________.A. test routes have roughly the same conditions everywhereB. candidate drivers pass the testC. all candidates are treated equally by the examiners duringthe testD. some test centers do not have enough parking spaceQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the same passage or dialog. Equipment operator Dick Kemp is the proud owner of over 90 old trucks. Some of his vehicles date back as far as 1916, just twenty years after the first motorized truck was ever built and a time when there were only 160,000 trucks in the United States-compared with the 36,000,000 trucks that roar along the nation's highways nowadays. One of Kemp's most unusual trucks is a 1916 Selden with wooden spikes which was once used as a street sprinkler. Kemp began his collection in 1952 with a 1930 Bulldog Mack whichhe bought for only $50. This same vehicle was valued in the year 2006 at nearly a thousand times that price. Every year thousands of visitors come from all over the U.S. and Canada to see Kemp's collection, which is exhibited in a large garage and in a yard next-door. The Mack Truck Museum is open for public viewing and there is no charge. There is even a model truck playground for children to play in while their parents look at the real things.Kemp does his own restoration work, making all the trucks look shiny and run smoothly. Many truck parts he has to make for himself because manufacturers have discontinued production long, long ago. He has received countless offers to sell his trucks, but his answer is always the same: "Nothing for Sale".16.The passage says that Dick Kemp's job is ________.A. museum workerB. equipment operatorC. truck driverD. truck manufacturer17.In which year was Kemp's unusual Selden truck made?A. 1952.B. 1916.C. 1930.D. 2006.18.Where does Kemp show his trucks?A.

American structural engineers say there was something that might have lessened the damage and saved lives. Pictures of the devastation in Turkey show us what engineers already know: a powerful earthquake has an ally in a weak building.Jim Malley of Degenkolb Engineers said, "The most common form of multi-story building in Turkey is a concrete frame." He says, "These are very heavy buildings and it's not uncommon for them to collapse in earthquakes because of the extra weight."Malley says the risk of building collapse increases when the first floor is a shop, because glass windows replace brick walls. "Undoubtedly, there was a glass store front at this level, and that made it much weaker. As a result, we got the collapse of that first story." Also, Malley says Turkey's concrete frame buildings often lack reinforcing steel.In California, each big quake teaches engineers another way of dealing with the problem. They have learned to use steel frames to reduce the weight of new buildings.Janiele Maffei shows a San Francisco skyscraper under construction. She says, "The building is designed to move and to sway, and the connections to stay together."The 1994 Northridge, California quake taught people about the weakness of rigid joints. Engineers found a simple solution. Janiele Maffei demonstrates this in the building under way."See to the right of the connection, see the structure? See how it looks smaller in some points? That's called a dog bone; you can see how it looks like a dog bone, how it is small in the middle and big on the ends. What that will do is it will take the stresses away from the connection, and concentrate them in that smaller section of the structure."21.How can an earthquake be helpful?A. It can cause buildings that are too old to collapse.B. It can get rid of the buildings that are made of concrete.C. It can teach people how to make safer buildings.D.
