Passage One

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.

Less than two months into her breast cancer treatment, Alexandra Jn-Charles was called into a new room at SUNY Downstate Medical Center, where two treating physicians, the chief medical officerand an attorney representing the hospital told her that mistakes had been made.

The skin lesions (病变) on her chest, they said, had been caused not by her illness but by the machine that was supposed to cure her. The 32-year-old had received nearly 30 radiotherapy sessions, butat this point it didn’t really make sense to count them, because a programming error had caused each installment to deliver at least three times the prescribed amount of radiation.

(10%) Passage One The Aerospace Bicycle That Fell to Earth (1)A radical new bicycle had its first public showing at the National British Cycling试题名称：英语试题编号：1001西北工业大学 2017年博士研究生第一次招生考试试题Championships in Shrewsbury last weekend. Based on the gold medal-winning design from the Barcelona Olympics, it is the first commercial mountain bike made of a single piece of carbon fibre. (2)Bicycles for amateurs have up to now been made of steel, aluminum or magnesium tubeswelded together into the conventional "A-frame" shape. But last year, the British competitor Chris Boardman set world records while winning titles in the Olympic cycling pursuit events on a custom-built, carbon-fibre bicycle with lower weight and wind resistance than standard models. Because carbon fibre is both light and extremely strong, it does not need the A-frame shape, saving further weight. Carbon fibre can also be moulded in a single piece, avoiding the weakness of welds. (3)The new bike, which will cost between $ 2000 and $ 3000 when it reaches the shops nextmonth, has the same advantages as the Olympic model, It weighs about 11 kilograms, a saving of 1.5 kilograms on metal frames. With no crossbar, it has a lower center of gravity, making it easier to use in race conditions. "When you're doing some aggressive riding, you throw the bike about form side to side," explains Eddie Eccleston, director of British Eagle, a British bicycle manufacturer based in Powys, Wales, which is marketing the bikes. "The low centre of gravity gives you better control." (4)The frames are being made in the US for British Eagle by $P systems in Camarillo,California, which has clients in the aerospace industry, "This is aerospace technology brought into cycling by enthusiasts," says Eccleston. When professionals tested racing versions of the bike before the Tour de France, they were quicker than metal versions by up to 3 seconds per kilometer. (5)The new design has no struts between the saddle and the back wheel; instead, the frame' sflexibility can be "tuned" to individual tastes by changing the mixture of Kevlar fibre and carbon fibre in the back wheel strut, allowing up to 5 centimeters of movement. (6)The carbon-fibre design has a lower centre of gravity and smoother back-wheelsuspension than conventional bikes. 21.The new bicycle exhibited at the National British Cycling Championships was radicalbecause ________. A.it was made from the gold medal-winning design of the Barcelona OlympicsB.it was the first commercial mountain bikeC.its public showing last weekend aroused many people's curiosityD.it was made of one single piece of carbon fibre22.According to the context, "bicycles for amateurs" at the beginning of the secondparagraph refers to bicycles __________. A.that people buy only for riding in their daily lifeB.that are bought by amateur cyclists who like cycling as an exerciseC.that are built for customers in generalD. that non-Olympic competitors use23.Which of the following statements in Not true?A.The new commercial bike has no crossbar and its centre of gravity is lower than theOlympic model.B.When the rider is doing some rough riding, the new bike' s low centre of gravity gives himbetter control.试题名称：英语试题编号：1001西北工业大学 2017年博士研究生第一次招生考试试题

Part One Reading Comprehension (30 points，3 points each)

Directions: Read the following two passages. Answer the questions below each

passage by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.

Passage 1

Solar and wind power are the glamorous twins of the clean-electricity revolution.

It is thrilling to see a field of glistening panels absorbing the sun’s energy or a vast

turbine twirling above the ocean. Stationary power storage does not have quite the same

allure—think of a large metal shed stuffed with piles of big batteries. Nonetheless, the

ability to stockpile energy on a massive scale will be of supreme importance if the

world is to wean itself off filthy fossil-fuel power plants. The technology is gradually
