Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. Even plants can run a fever, especially when they're under attack by insects or disease. But unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away?straight up. A decade ago, adapting the infrared (红外线) scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide(杀⾍剂) spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don't have pest(害⾍) problems. Even better, Paley's Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night ,an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running "fevers".Farmers could then spot- spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would. The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find.But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in in frared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation.Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. "This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States, "says George Oerther of Texas A&M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks.remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago. 26. Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are _______ A) sprayed with pesticides B) facing an infrared scanner C) in poor physical condition D) exposed to excessive sun rays 27. In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to _______. A) estimate the damage to the crops B) measure the size of the affected area C) draw a color-coded map D) locate the problem area 28. Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by _______. A) resorting to spot-spraying B) consulting infrared scanning experts C) transforming poisoned rain D) detecting crop problems at an early stage 29. The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties _______. A) the lack of official support B) its high cost C) the lack of financial D) its failure to help increase production 30. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of _______. A) the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce. B) growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on crops C) the forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture D) full support from agricultural experts。

Mark the correct choice for each blank on your answer sheet. Unlike most sports which evolved over time from street games basketball was designed by one man to suit a particular purpose. The man was Dr. James Naismith, and his purpose was to invent a vigorous game that could be played indoors in the winter.In 1892, Naismith was an instructor at a training school, which trained physical education instructors for the YMCAs. That year the school was trying(26)___ up with a physical activity that the men could enjoy(27)___ the football and baseball seasons. None of the standard indoor activities(28)___ their interest for long. Naismith was asked to solve the problem by the school. He first tried to (29)___ some of the popular outdoor sports, but they were all too rough. The men were getting bruised from tackling each other and (30)___ hit with equipment. So, Naismith decided to invent a game that would incorporate the most common elements of outdoor team sports without having the real physical contact. Most popular sports used a ball. So he chose a soccer ball because it was soft and large enough that it(31)___ no equipment, such as a hat or a racket to hit it. Next he decide(32)___ an elevated goal, so that scoring would depend on skill and accuracy rather than on(33)___ only. His goals were two peach baskets, (34)___ to ten foothigh balconies at each end of the gym. The basic (35)___ of the game was to throw the ball into the basket. Naismith wrote rules for the game, (36)___ of which, though with some small changes, are still(37)___ effect.Basketball was an immediate success.

Arts students may well find that their official contact with teachers is less than this average, while science and engineering students may expect to be timetabled for up to 20 hours per week. Students studying for a particular degree will take a series of lecture courses which run in parallel at a fixed time in each week and may last one academic term or the whole year. Associated with each lecture course are seminars, tutorials and laboratory classes which draw upon, analyze, illustrate or amplify, the topics presented in the lectures, lecture classes can vary in size from 20 to 200 although larger sized lectures tend to decrease as students progress into the second and third year and more options become available. Seminars and tutorials are on the whole much smaller than lecture classes and in some departments can be on a one-to-one basis (that is, one member of staff to one student).Students are normally expected to prepare work in advance for seminars and tutorials and this can take the form of researching a topic for discussion, by writing essays or by solving problems. Lectures, seminars and tutorials are all one hour in length, whilst laboratory classes usually last either 2 or 3 hours. Much emphasis is put on how to spend as much time if not more studying by themselves as being taught. In the UK it is still common for people to say that they are “reading”for a degree! Each student has a tutor whom they can consult on any matter whether academic or personal .Although the tutor will help, motivation for study is expected to come from the student.66. According to the passage, science and engineering courses seem to be more ___ than arts courses. A. motivating B. varied C. demanding D. interesting67. Which of the following is the length of lectures or seminars or tutorials?A. 1 hour.B.2 hours.C. 3 hours.D. 15 hours.68. In British universities teaching and learning are carried out in ___.A. a variety of waysB. laboratory classesC. seminars and tutorialsD. lectures and tutorials TEXT BWho said the only way to learn about a country you can’t visit is by reading a book? Dan Eckberg’s television students at Hopkins High School know better. They’re seeing countries and learning about cultures with the aid of electronic communications.Using computers, satellite hookups, and telephone hotlines, Eckberg’s students have already followed a team of cyclists 11,500 miles across the continent of Africa, sat atop Mount Kilimanjaro, and sweltered in the Sahara Desert.This winter they’ll interact with an expedition exploring Central America in search of the classic Maya culture.You can join them.How? By following Eckberg and his class as they track the adventures of Dan and Steve Buettner, two world-class bicyclists from U S A. Starting last month these two bicyclists, joined by archaeologists and a technical support team, are interacting with students via the Internet, the worldwide computer network.From classroom or home computer, students can make research proposals to the Buettners or thearchaeologists at the various Central American locations they’ve been exploring as part of their Maya Quest expedition.“We hope that someone will ask a question that can’t readily be answered,”says Hopkins High School student Barry Anderson, “and through the online activities, an answer will be found—a discovery”.Having students “discover” why a civilization as advanced as the Maya collapsed in the 9th century is one key goal for the leaders of the Maya Quest expedition. The more important goal is using interactive learning to discover the cause of the decline and compare it to issues we face today—natural disasters, environmental problems, and war.Ten lesson plans—on topics ranging from the Maya language to the Maya creation myth—have been developed for the interactive expedition.“Through a combination of live call-in television and the Internet, ”says Eckberg, “we’re hoping to build excitement and engagement in learning in our school.”69. Dan Eckberg and his students learn about Africa by ___.A. reading booksB. watching video tapesC. interacting via the InternetD. cycling 11,500 miles70. Which of the following activities is NOT involved in Dan Eckberg and his students’expedition?A. Going to visit various Central American locations.B. Getting information through electronic communications.C. Discussing different topics on the Maya civilization.D. Forming research, proposals and discovering the answers.TEXT CMost earthquakes occur within the upper 15 miles of the earth’s surface. But earthquakes can and do occur at all depths to about 460 miles. Their number decreases as the depth increases. At about 460 miles one earthquake occurs only every few years. Near the surface earthquakes may run as high as 100 in a month, but the yearly average does not vary much. In comparison with the total number of earthquakes each year, the number of disastrous earthquakes is very small.The extent of the disaster in an earthquake depends on many factors. If you carefully build a toy house with an Erector set, it will still stand no matter how much you shake the table. But if you build a toy house with a pack of cards, a slight shake of the table will make it fall. An earthquake in Agadir, Morocco, was not strong enough to be recorded on distant instruments, but it completely destroyed the city. Many stronger earthquakes have done comparatively little damage. If a building is well constructed and built on solid ground, it will resist an earthquake. Most deaths in earthquakes have been due to faulty building construction or poor building sites. A third and very serious factor is panic. When people rush out into narrow streets, more deaths will result. The United Nations has played an important part in reducing the damage done by earthquakes. It has sent a team of experts to all countries known to be affected by earthquakes. Working with local geologists and engineers, the experts have studied the nature of the ground and the type of most practical building code for the local area. If followed, these suggestions will make disastrous earthquakes almost a thing of the past.There is one type of earthquake disaster that little can be done about. This is the disaster caused by seismic sea waves, or tsunamis. (These are often called tidal waves, but the name is incorrect. They have nothing to do with tides. ) In certain areas, earthquakes take place beneath the sea.These submarine earthquakes sometimes give rise to seismic sea waves. The waves are not noticeable out at sea because of their long wave length. But when they roll into harbours, they pile up into walls of water 6 to 60 feet high. The Japanese call them “tsunamis”, meaning “harhour waves”, because they reach a sizable height only in harbours.Tsunamis travel fairly slowly, at speeds up to 500 miles an hour. An adequate warning system is in use to warn all shores likely to be reached by the waves. But this only enables people to leave the threatened shores for higher ground. There is no way to stop the oncoming wave.71. Which of the following CANNOT be concluded from the passage?A. The number of earthquakes is closely related to depth.B. Roughly the same number of earthquakes occur each year.C. Earthquakes are impossible at depths over 460 miles.D. Earthquakes are most likely to occur near the surfaces. 、72. The destruction of Agadir is an example of ___.A. faulty building constructionB. an earthquake’s strengthC. widespread panic in earthquakesD. ineffective instruments73. The United Nations’experts are supposed to ___.A. construct strong buildingsB. put forward proposalsC. detect disastrous earthquakesD. monitor earthquakes74. The significance of the slow speed of tsunamis is that people may ___.A. notice them out at seaB. find ways to stop themC. be warned early enoughD. develop warning systemsTEXT DOne of the good things for men in women’s liberation is that men no longer have to pay women the old-fashioned courtesies.In an article on the new manners, Ms. Holmes says that a perfectly able woman no longer has to act helplessly in public as if she were a model. For example, she doesn’t need help getting in and out of cars, “Women get i n and out of cars twenty times a day with babies and dogs. Surely they can get out by themselves at night just as easily.”She also says there is no reason why a man should walk on the outside of a woman on the sidewalk. “Historically, the man walked on t he inside so he caught the garbage thrown out of a window. Today a man is supposed to walk on the outside. A man should walk where he wants to. So should a woman. If, out of love and respect, he actually wants to take the blows, he should walk on the inside—because that’s where attackers are all hiding these days.”As far as manners are concerned, I suppose I have always been a supporter of women’s liberation. Over the years, out of a sense of respect, I imagine, I have refused to trouble women with outdated courtesies.It is usually easier to follow rules of soc ial behaviour than to depend on one’s own taste. But rules may be safely broken, of course, by those of us with the gift of natural grace. For example, when a man and woman are led to their table in a restaurant and the waiter pulls out a chair, the woman is expected to sit in the chair. That is according to Ms. Ann Clark. I have always done it the other way, according to my wife.It came up only the other night. I followed the hostess to the table, and when she pulled the chair out I sat on it, quite naturally, since it happened to be the chair I wanted to sit in.“Well,”my wife said, when the hostess had gone, “you did it again.”“Did what?”I asked, utterly confused.“Took the chair.”Actually., since I’d walked through the restaurant ahead of my wife , it would have been awkward, I should think, not to have taken the chair. I had got there first, after all.Also, it has always been my custom to get in a car first, and let the woman get in by herself. This is a courtesy I insist on as the stronger sex, out of love and respect. In times like these, there might be attackers hidden about. It would be unsuitable to put a woman in a car and then shut the door on her, leaving her at the mercy of some bad fellow who might be hiding in the back seat.75. It can be concluded from the passage that ___.A. men should walk on the inside of a sidewalkB. women are becoming more capable than beforeC. in women’s liberation men are also liberatedD. it’s safe to break rules of social behaviour76. The author was “utterly confused”because he ___.A. took the chair out of habitB. was trying to be politeC. was slow in understandingD. had forgotten what he did77. He “took the chair”for all the following reasons EXCEPT that ___.A. he got to the chair firstB. he happened to like the seatC. his wife ordered him to do soD. he’d walked ahead of his wife78. The author always gets in a car before a woman because he ___.A. wants to protect herB. doesn’t need to help herC. chooses to be impolite to herD. fears attacks on him79. The author is ___ about the whole question of manners and women’s liberation.A. jokingB. satiricalC. seriousD. critical80. Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?A. Manners ought to be thrown away altogether.B. In manners one should follow his own judgment.C. Women no longer need to be helped in public.D. Men are not expected to be courteous to women.1997年英语专业四级真题答案听力原文PART ⅡDICTATIONLegal Age for MarriageThroughout the United States, the legal age for marriage shows some difference. The most common age without parents’ conse nt is eighteen for both females and males. However, persons who are under age in their home state can get married in another state, and then return to the home state legally married. Each state issues its own marriage license. Both residents and nonresidents are qualified for such a license. The fees and ceremonies vary greatly from state to state. Most states, for instance, have a blood test requirement, but a few do not. Most states permit either a civil or religious ceremony, but a few require the ceremony to be religious. In most states, a waiting period is required before the license is issued. This period is from one to five days depending on the state. A three-day wait is the most common. In some states, there’s no required waiting period.PART ⅢLISTENING COMPREHENSIONSECTION A STA TEMENT1. John met me at the door and said his dormitory wasn’t full, but in fact it was.2.

It is true that no pressure, no motivation. But, how about much more pressure? Different people have different views of point. As for me, I firmly think too much pressure in essence prevents people from achieving academic accomplishment rather than do good to us. The causes are obvious. Firstly, in our opening society, people have to acquaint with a vast number of new things so as to obtain better lives, which request them transfering more times from academic studies to other fields, lessening their academic pressure. Secondly, more pressure from academic studies will make people produce mental problems such as stress and qualm, in the long run, which will make academic studies become impossible.Therefore in my opinion, those who would achieve academic accomplishment must not be given more pressure. It is a good academic air that does good to us.SECTION B[参考范文]Dear Victoria,We write to apologize for having unintentionally neglected to invite you, our close friend, to show up our party.
