I need to ask you about something in Chapter 12. Well it talks about erosion and the deposit of sediment on the deep sea floor, but I'm confused, ‘cause, well, for that to happen there would have to be some kind of force down there moving the mud or sand or whatever, right. But I thought there weren't any waves or currents that deep in the ocean.B: That's not exactly correct. It's true that deep down on the ocean floor we won't have the same kinds of currents we find in shallower parts. But we do find what we call turbidity currents. This wasn’t in the book but the term came up in class. Do you remember what itmeans?A: Umh, turbidity currents? Oh, yeah! Isn't that when sediment like sand or mud gets stirred up and mixes with water And then this mixer kind of flows through the water around it, right?B: Good!A: Umh, but I thought that only happened in rivers.B: Well, yes. This does occur in rivers, but we see turbidity currents deep in the ocean as well. A: But how do they get started there?B: Earthquakes mostly, when an earthquake occurs under water, it throws up tremendous amounts of mud or sand that becomes suspended in a layer of water near the bottom of the ocean. This layer is so much denser and heavier than other ocean water that if flows right down the slopes o f the ocean floor and gains more and more speed as it moves along. Then it's just like the winds blowing across the desert picking up sand from one place and moving it along and finally dropping it somewhere else. 31：What is the main topic of the discussion?32：What does the professor ask the student to explain?33：How is a turbidity current different from the water around it?34：According to the professor, how do earthquakes cause turbidity currents?35：Why does the professor mention desert winds?Questions 36 - 39: Listen to a conversation about weekend plans.A: Hey Neal, now that the midterms are over a bunch of us are getting away for the weekend to go canoeing. Wanna come along'?B: Well, uhm, it'd be great to get away, but I've never done ii before.A: None of the others have either except for me. I went once last fall. But there'll be an instructor in each canoe the first day.B: I don't know.A: Oh, come on. This is our last chance to take a break before finals. The scenery is beautiful, and if it gets too hot we can dive in whenever we feel like it. The river's really calm this time of the year, no rapids to deal with.B: That's a relief. What would I have to bring?A: Let's see. Tom's bringing food for the Friday night cookout for everyone. And the people who run the trip have tents set up and they supply food and drinks for all day Saturday. On the way back Sunday morning we'll stop somewhere for breakfast. So, you have to bring a bathing suit and a sleeping hag. B: Well, I do love camping and sleeping out. Where is this place?A: Well, it's about an hour and a half to the place where we meet the trip leaders. We leave our car there and they drive us and the canoes upriver to the place where we start canoeing.B: And who's driving us to the meeting place?A: Well, I was hoping we could take your car. Mine's in the shop again.B: Oh, I see. It's not me you want, it's my car.A: Don't be silly. So what would you say?B: Oh, why not!A: Great I'll give you a call when i find out when everyone wants to leave on Friday.36：What is the main reason the woman calls the man?37：What is one thing the man has to bring?38：What does the man say he enjoys doing?39：What does the woman need to talk to the man again?Part:CQuestion 40-42: Listen to a part o f a talk in a business class.In the 18th century French economists protested the excessive regulation of business by the government. Their motto was laisser faire. Laisser faire means let the people do as they choose. In the economic sense, this meant that while the government should be responsible for things like maintaining peace and protecting property fights, it should not interfere with private business. It shouldn't create regulations that might hinder business growth, nor should it be responsible for providing subsidies to help. In other words, governments should take a hand off approach to business. For a while in the United States, laisser faire was a popular doctrine. But things quickly changed. After the Civil War, politicians r arely opposed the government’s generous support of business owners. They were only too glad to support government land grants and loans to railroad owners for example. Their regulations kept tariffs high and that helped protect American industrialists against foreign competition. Ironically in the late 19th century, a lot of people believed that the laisser faire policy was responsible for the countries industrial growth. It was generally assumed that because business owners did not have a lot of external restrictions placed on them by the government, they could pursue their own interests, and this was what made them so successful. But in fact, many of these individuals wouldnot have been able to meet their objectives if not for government support.40：What is the talk mainly about?41：Who first used the motto laisser faire?42：What is the principle idea of the laisser faire policy?Question 43-46: Listen to a talk about enzymes in a biology class.Let's begin today by discussing enzymes. Enzymes are what make many of the body's biochemical reactions possible. Actually biochemical reactions can take place without them, but at much lower rates. In fact an enzyme may cause a reaction to proceed billions of times faster than it would otherwise. Before I go on to the biochemical specifics of how this works, let me provide a figurative example. I think it will help illustrate the power of enzymes more clearly. Now, suppose you got a bag and you put a bunch of locks in it, just small padlocks. Then you put in all the keys that go with the locks. And you closed the bag and shook it hard. No matter how long you shook, chances are very small that any key would get inserted in any of the locks. But if you took them all out of the bag and this time used your hands to insert the keys in the locks, you could combine them much quicker.Enzymes act like your hands, quickly allowing chemical reactions that would otherwise take much longer. Now, there are 2 reasons that enzymes are so effective at enabling biochemical reactions. Firs enzymes greatly reduce the amount of energy required to start the reactions, and with less energy needed the reactions can proceed a lot faster than they, could without the enzyme. The second mason is that on a small amount of an enzyme is needed to enable the biochemical reaction. That's because the chemical structure of the enzyme itself does not become altered as if enables the reaction. So a single enzyme can be used to start the same biochemical reaction over and over again.43：What is the talk mainly about?44：What point does the professor make about an enzyme when it is involved in a biochemical reaction? 45：What do enzymes do to help start a biochemical reaction?46：Why does the professor talk about locks and keys?Question 47-50: Listen to part of a lecture in an art history class;Today I'd like to talk about the sculptor Henry Moore, in particular the ideas his work is based on, and also how he viewed the medium of sculpture. Moore said that to appreciate sculpture a person needs to respond to form in all of it's 3 dimensions. He believed that this is more difficult than responding to art that is done on a flat surface, a surface such as canvas that has only 2 dimension. For example, when you're looking at a painting you don't have to walk around it. You don't relate to form and shape in the same way you do when to shapes in nature such as that of bones and shells and stones. He thought that if you could appreciate the shape of something simple, like a stone that you could go on to appreciate more complex forms. He noticed that many of the stones he picked up had holes in them. One distinctive feature of Moore's sculpture is his use of holes or opening to emphasize that he isindeed working in a 3 dimensional medium. He believed that the shape of a solid mass, and could even help create a sense of mass or volume. Moore was also interested m representing the human figure, which he sculpted in such materials as bronze, stone, and wood. His sculptures of humans contained one person as in the work reclining figure or several people as in the sculpture family group. 47：What is the talk mainly about?48：According to Henry Moore, why is sculpture more difficult to appreciate than other forms of art? 49：Why does the professor mention bones and shells?50：What is one well-known feature of Henry Moore's sculptures?。

全国2001年10月高等教育自学考试英语写作试题课程代码：00603（以下括弧中的内容均为补充说明）Ⅰ.Supply the missing paragraph(20 points)The following passage isincomplete with the concluding paragraph(the ending paragraph, the conclusion) missing. Study the passage carefully and write the missing paragraph of about 100 words. Make sure that the tone and vocabulary (diction) you use are in unity with the passage provided.Manners Are Important As one looks about (around), it becomes very easy to conclude thatgood manners seem to be a thing of the past. More and more people seem （appear）to be discourteous (rude, impolite) to one another, more indicative of a “survival of the fittest” attitude than (indicative) of living in a civilized society. Although much of what was considered good manners at the turn of the last century may no longer be appropriate, common courtesy and acceptable behavior are still necessary to make life pleasant, especially as our cities become more and more (are getting increasingly) crowded. Although common courtesy is the underlying (basic, fundamental) framework, good manners are manifested (shown, presented) in two distinct (obvious, apparent, evident) areas (fields, respects, dimensions), business and social (cf. sociable: infavor of making friends or keeping company with other people) relationships.The world of business (The commercial world,The commercial circles, The business circles) has become increasingly impersonal (indifferent, inhospitable) over the years. The fast development of computers has removed the personal touch (personal affection) from many business dealings. It is not uncommon, when phoning a company, to get a recorded message telling us which number to press. When we finally do get a live person on the other end, he often seems uncaring. Good business sense, though, would dictate (control) the importance of getting back to the personal touch. The speaker should identify himself by name (should tellhis name) to the caller and make every effort (try his best) to be courteous and helpful. Above all, he should take great pains (try his best) to assure the call is not disconnected (connected). In addition, he should make certain (sure) that the caller is connected to his party and not kept waiting long while listening to canned music (recorded music). Good manners will assure happy, loyal customers.Good manners are, perhaps, most frequently associated with social relationships. Unfortunately, here again they seem to be in decline. Giving up one's seat on a crowded bus to an elderly person, a pregnant woman, or an obviously tired person seems to be a thing of the past. People also seem to have forgotten how to behave as an audience. It is not uncommon to see (Itcan be easily seen anywhere) people putting their feet up on the seats in front of them or talking loudly during a movie or play. Even restaurants are not immune from (are troubled with) the lack of good manners. Young parents do not seem to care that their children are roaming throughout the restaurant or are crying and disturbing the other guests. These examples touch upon (talk about, come down to) only the surface of the rapid decline of good manners.分析：本篇文章是说明文，其层次分为三大部分。

The designation of an areas5) a marine sanctuary indicates that it is a protected area, just as a national park is. Peopleare permitted to visit and observe there, but living organisms and their environments may not be harmed or removed.The National Marine Sanctuaries Program is administered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a branch of the United States Department of Commerce.10) Initially, 70 sites were proposed as candidates for sanctuary status. Two and a half decadeslater, only fifteen sanctuaries had been designated, with half of these established after1978. They range in size from the very small (less than I square kilometer) Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary in American Samoa to the Monterey Bay National MarineSanctuary in California, extending over 15,744 square kilometers.15) The National Marine Sanctuaries Program is a crucial part of new managementpractices in which whole communities of species, and not just individual species, areoffered some degree of protection from habitat degradation and overexploitation. Only in this way can a reasonable degree of marine species diversity be maintained in a setting that also maintains the natural interrelationships that exist among these species.20) Several other types of marine protected areas exist in the United States and othercountries. The National Estuarine Research Reserve System, managed by the UnitedStates government, includes 23 designated and protected estuaries. Outside the United States, marine protected-area programs exist as marine parks, reserves, and preserves.Over 100 designated areas exist around the periphery of the Carbbean Sea. Others range 25) from the well-known Australian Great Barrer Reef Marine Park to lesser-known parksin countries such as Thailand and Indonesia, where tourism is placing growing pressures on fragile coral reef systems. As state, national, and international agencies come torecognize the importance of conserving marine biodiversity, marine projected areas.whether as sanctuaries, parks, or estuarine reserves, will play an increasingly important role in preserving that diversity.1.

With only an apprentice asan assistant, the rural artisan provided the neighborhood with common goods from furniture to shoes to farm equipment in exchange for cash or for “goods in kind” from the customer’s field, pasture, or dairy. Sometimes artisans transformed material provided by the customer wove cloth of yam spun at the farm from the wool of the family sheep; made chairs or tables 10) from wood cut in the customer’s own woodlot; produced shoes or leather breeches fromcow, deer, or sheepskin tanned on the farm.Like their farming neighbors, rural artisans were part of an economy seen, by one historian, as “an orchestra conducted by nature.” Some tasks could not be done in the winter, other had to be put off during harvest time, and still others waited on raw materials that were 15) only produced seasonally. As the days grew shorter, shop hours kept pace, since few artisanscould afford enough artificial light to continue work when the Sun went down. To the best of their ability, colonial artisans tried to keep their shops as efficient as possible and toregularize their schedules and methods of production for the best return on their investment in time, tools, and materials, While it is pleasant to imagine a woodworker, for example, 20) carefully matching lumber, joining a chest together without resort to nails or glue, andapplying all thought and energy to carving beautiful designs on the finished piece, the time required was not justified unless the customer was willing to pay extra for the quality—and few in rural areas were, Artisans, therefore, often found it necessary to employ asmany shortcuts and economics as possible while still producing satisfactory products.10. What aspect of rural colonial North America does the passage mainly discuss? (A) Farming practices(B) The work of artisans(C) The character of rural neighborhoods(D) Types of furniture that were popular11. The word “inception” in line 1 is closest in meaning to(A) investigation(B) location(C) beginning(D) records12.

It can inferred that the artisans referred to in the passage usually produced products that were(A) simple(B) delicate(C) beautifully decorated(D) exceptionally long-lastingQuestions 18-28Cities develop as a result of functions that they can perform. Some functions result directly from the ingenuity of the citizenry, but most functions result from the needs of the local area and of the surrounding hinterland (the region that supplies goods to thecity and to which the city furnishes services and other goods). Geographers often make 5) a distinction between the situation and the site of a city. Situation refers to the generalposition in relation to the surrounding region, whereas site involves physicalcharacteristics of the specific location. Situation is normally much more important tothe continuing prosperity of a city. if a city is well situated in regard to its hinterland, its development is much more likely to continue. Chicago, for example, possesses an almost 10) unparalleled situation: it is located at the southern end of a huge lake that forces east-westtransportation lines to be compressed into its vicinity, and at a meeting of significant land and water transport routes. It also overlooks what is one of the world’s finest largefarming regions. These factors ensured that Chicago would become a great city regardless of the disadvantageous characteristics of the available site, such as being prone to flooding15) during thunderstorm activity.Similarly, it can be argued that much of New York City’s importance stems from its early and continuing advantage of situation. Philadephia and Boston both originated at about the same time as New York and shared New York’s location at the western end of one of the world’s most important oceanic trade routes, but only New York possesses an 20) easy-access functional connection (the Hudson-Mohawk lowland) to the vast Midwesternhinterland. This account does not alone explain New York’s primacy, but it does include several important factors. Among the many aspects of situation that help to explain why some cities grow and others do not, original location on a navigable waterway seemsparticularly applicable. Of course, such characteristic as slope, drainage, power25) resources, river crossings, coastal shapes, and other physical characteristics help todetermine city location, but such factors are normally more significant in early stagesof city development than later.18. What does the passage mainly discuss?(A) The development of trade routes through United States cities(B) Contrasts in settlement patterns in United States(C) Historical differences among three large United States cities(D) The importance of geographical situation in the growth of United States cities19. The word “ingenuity” in line 2. is closest in meaning to(A) wealth(B) resourcefulness(C) traditions(D) organization20. The passage suggests that a geographer would consider a city’s soil type part of its(A) hinterland(B) situation(C) site(D) function21. According to the passage, a city’s situation is more important than its site in regard to the city’s.(A) long-term growth and prosperity(B) ability to protect its citizenry(C) possession of favorable weather conditions(D) need to import food supplies22. The author mentions each of the following as an advantage of Chicago’s location EXCEPT its.(A) hinterland(B) nearness to a large lake(C) position in regard to transport routes(D) flat terrain23.

It is clear that at some stage of history, humans began to carry their food to central places, called home bases, where itLine was shared and consumed with the young and other adults. The use of home bases is a(5) fundamental component of human social behavior; the common meal served at a common hearth is a powerful symbol, a mark of social unity. Home base behavior does not occur among nonhuman primates and is rare among mammals. It is unclear when humans began to use home bases, what kind of communications and social relations were involved, and what the ecological and food-choice contexts of the shift were. Work on early tools,(10) surveys of paleoanthropological sites, development and testing of broad ecological theories, and advances in comparative primatology are contributing to knowledge about this central chapter in human prehistory.One innovative approach to these issues involves studying damage and wear on stone tools. Researchers make tools that replicate excavated specimens as closely as possible(15) and then try to use them as the originals might have been used, in woodcutting, hunting, or cultivation. Depending on how the tool is used, characteristic chippage patterns andmicroscopically distinguishable polishes develop near the edges. The first application of this method of analysis to stone tools that are 1.5 million to 2 million years old indicates that, from the start, an important function of early stone tools was to extract highly(20) nutritious food—meat and marrow-from large animal carcasses. Fossil bones with cut marks caused by stone tools have been discovered lying in the same 2-million-year-old layers that yielded the oldest such tools and the oldest hominid specimens (including humans) with larger than ape-sized brains. This discovery increases scientists' certainty about when human ancestors began to eat more meat than present-day nonhuman(25) primates. But several questions remain unanswered: how frequently meat eating occurred; what the social implications of meat eating were; and whether the increased use of meat coincides with the beginnings of the use of home bases.1. The passage mainly discusses which of the following aspects of hominid behavior?(A) Changes in eating and dietary practices(B) The creation of stone hunting tools(C) Social interactions at home bases(D) Methods of extracting nutritious food from carcasses2. According to the passage, bringing a meal to a location to be shared by many individuals is(A) an activity typical of nonhuman primates(B) a common practice among animals that eat meat(C) an indication of social unity .(D) a behavior that encourages better dietary habits3.

The word "whether" in line 26 is closest in meaning to(A) if(B) how(C) why(D) whenQuestions 11-20In seventeenth-century colonial North America, all day-to-day cooking was done in the fireplace. Generally large, fireplaces were planned for cooking as well as for warmth. Those in the Northeast were usually four or five feet high, and in the South, they wereLine often high enough for a person to walk into. A heavy timber called the mantel tree was(5) used as a lintel to support the stonework above the fireplace opening. This timber might be scorched occasionally, but it was far enough in front of the rising column of heat to be safe from catching fire.Two ledges were built across from each other on the inside of the chimney. On these rested the ends of a "lug pole" from which pots were suspended when cooking. Wood(10) from a freshly cut tree was used for the lug pole, so it would resist heat, but it had to be replaced frequently because it dried out and charred, and was thus weakened. Sometimes the pole broke and the dinner fell into the fire. When iron became easier to obtain, it was used instead of wood for lug poles, and later fireplaces had pivoting metal rods to hang pots from. (15) Beside the fireplace and built as part of it was the oven. It was made like a small, secondary fireplace with a flue leading into the main chimney to draw out smoke. Sometimes the door of the oven faced the room, but most ovens were built with the opening facing into the fireplace. On baking days (usually once or twice a week) a roaring fire of "oven wood," consisting of brown maple sticks, was maintained in the oven until its(20) walls were extremely hot. The embers were later removed, bread dough was put into the oven, and the oven was sealed shut until the bread was fully baked.Not ai! baking was done in a big oven, however. Also used was an iron "bake kettle," which looked like a stewpot on legs and which had an iron lid. This is said to have worked well when it was placed in the fireplace, surrounded by glowing wood embers, with more(25) embers piled on its lid.11. Which of the following aspects of domestic life in colonial North America does the passage mainly discuss?(A) Methods of baking bread(B) Fireplace cooking(C) The use of iron kettles in a typical kitchen(D) The types of wood used in preparing meals12. The author mentions the fireplaces built in the South to illustrate(A) how the materials used were similar to the materials used in northeastern fireplaces(B) that they served diverse functions(C) that they were usually larger than northeastern fireplaces(D) how they were safer than northeastern fireplaces13.

According to paragraph 3, all of the following were true of a colonial oven EXCEPT:(A) It was used to heat the kitchen every day.(B) It was built as part of the main fireplace.(C) The smoke it generated went out through the main chimney.(D) It was heated with maple sticks.20. According to the passage, which of the following was an advantage of a "bake kettle"?(A) It did not take up a lot of space in the fireplace.(B) It did not need to be tightly closed.(C) It could be used in addition to or instead of the oven.(D) It could be used to cook several foods at one time.Questions 21-29Butterflies are among the most extensively studied insects—an estimated 90 percent of theworld's species have scientific names. As a consequence, they are perhaps the best group of insects for examining patterns of terrestrial biotic diversity and distribution. Butterflies alsohave a favorable image with the general public. Hence, they are an excellent group for(5) communicating information on science and conservation issues such as diversity.Perhaps the aspect of butterfly diversity that has received the most attention over the past century is the striking difference in species richness between tropical and temperate regions.For example, in 1875 one biologist pointed out the diversity of butterflies in the Amazon when he mentioned that about 700 species were found within an hour's walk, whereas the total (10) number found on the British islands did not exceed 66, and the whole of Europe supported only321. This early comparison of tropical and temperate butterfly richness has been well confirmed.A general theory of diversity would have to predict not only this difference betweentemperate and tropical zones, but also patterns within each region, and how these patterns vary (15) among different animal and plant groups. However, for butterflies, variation of species richnesswithin temperate or tropical regions, rather man between them, is poorly understood. Indeed, comparisons of numbers of species among the Amazon basin, tropical Asia, and Africa are still mostly "personal communication" citations, even for vertebrates, In other words, unlike comparison between temperate and tropical areas, these patterns are still in the documentation(20)phase.In documenting geographical variation in butterfly diversity, some arbitrary, practicaldecisions are made. Diversity, number of species, and species richness are used synonymously; little is known about the evenness of butterfly distribution. The New World butterflies makeup the preponderance of examples because they are the most familiar species. It is hoped that (25) by focusing on them, the errors generated by imperfect and incomplete taxonomy will be minimized.21. Which aspect of butterflies does the passage mainly discuss?(A) Their physical characteristics(B) Their names(C) Their adaptation to different habitats(D) Their variety22. The word "consequence" in line 2 is closest in meaning to(A) result(B) explanation(C) analysis(D) requirement23. Butterflies are a good example for communicating information about conservation issues because they(A) are simple in structure(B) are viewed positively by people(C) have been given scientific names(D) are found mainly in temperateclimates24. The word "striking" in line 7 is closest in meaning to(A) physical(B) confusing(C) noticeable(D) successful25. The word "exceed" in line 10 is closest in meaning to(A) locate(B) allow(C) go beyond(D) come close to26. All of the following are mentioned as being important parts of a general theory of diversity EXCEPT(A) differences between temperate and tropical zones(B) patterns of distribution of species in each region(C) migration among temperate and tropical zones(D) variation of patterns of distribution of species among different animals and plants。

I need to ask you about something in Chapter 12. Well it talks about erosion and the deposit of sediment on the deep sea floor, but I'm confused, cause, well, for that to happen there would have to be some kind of force down there moving the mud or sand or whatever, right? But I thought there weren't any waves or currents that deep in the ocean.B: That's not exactly correct. It's true that deep down on the ocean floor we won't have the same kinds of currents we find in shallower parts. But we do find what we call turbidity currents(混浊流). This wasn’t in the book but the term came up in class. Do you remember what it means?A: Um, turbidity currents? Oh, yeah! Isn't that when sediment like sand or mud gets stirred up and mixes with water，and then this mixer kind of flows through the water around it, right?B: Good!A: Um, but I thought that only happened in rivers.B: Well, yes. This does occur in rivers, but we see turbidity currents deep in the ocean as well.A: But how do they get started there?B: Earthquakes mostly, when an earthquake occurs under water, it throws up tremendous amounts of mud or sand that becomes suspended in a layer of water near the bottom of the ocean. This layer is so much denser and heavier than other ocean water that if flows right down the slopes of the ocean floor and gains more and more speed as it moves along. Then it's just like the winds blowing across the desert, picking up sand from one place and moving it along and finally dropping it somewhere else.31：What is the main topic of the discussion?32：What does the professor ask the student to explain?33：How is a turbidity current different from the water around it?34：According to the professor, how do earthquakes cause turbidity currents?35：Why does the professor mention desert winds?Questions 36–39A: Hey Neal, now that the midterms are over a bunch of us are getting away for the weekend to go canoeing. Wanna come along'?B: Well, um, it'd be great to get away, but I've never done it before.A: None of the others have either except for me. I went once last fall. But there'll be an instructor in each canoe the first day.B: I don't know.A: Oh, come on. This is our last chance to take a break before finals. The scenery is beautiful, and if it gets too hot we can dive in whenever we feel like it. The river's really calm this time of the year, no rapids(急流) to deal with.B: That's a relief. What would I have to bring?A: Let's see. Tom's bringing food for the Friday night cookout（郊游野餐）for everyone. And the people who run the trip have tents set up and they supply food and drinks for all day Saturday. On the way back Sunday morning we'll stop somewhere for breakfast. So, you just have to bring a bathing suit(泳衣) and a sleeping hag.B: Well, I do love camping and sleeping out. Where is this place?A: Well, it's about an hour and a half to the place where we meet the trip leaders. We leave our car there and they drive us and the canoes upriver to the place where we start canoeing.B: And who's driving us to the meeting place?A: Well, I was hoping we could take your car. Mine's in the shop again.B: Oh, I see. It's not me you want, it's my car.A: Don't be silly. So what would you say?B: Oh, why not!A: Great I'll give you a call after I find out when everyone wants to leave on Friday.36：What is the main reason the woman calls the man?37：What is one thing the man has to bring?38：What does the man say he enjoys doing?39：What does the woman need to talk to the man again?Part CQuestion 40-42In the 18th century French economists protested the excessive regulation of business by the government. Their motto was laisser faire（自由主义）. Laisser faire means let the people do as they choose. In the economic sense, this meant that while the government should be responsible for things likemaintaining peace and protecting property fights, it should not interfere with private business. It shouldn't create regulations that might hinder business growth, nor should it be responsible for providing subsidies to help. In other words, governments should take hands off approach to business. For a while in the United States, laisser faire was a popular doctrine. But things quickly changed. After the Civil War, politicians rarely opposed the government’s generous support of business owners. They were only too glad to support government land grants and loans to railroad owners for example. Their regulations kept tariffs high and that helped protect American industrialists against foreign competition. Ironically in the late 19th century, a lot of people believed that the laisser faire policy was responsible for the countries industrial growth. It was generally assumed that because business owners did not have a lot of external restrictions placed on them by the government, they could pursue their own interests, and this was what made them so successful. But in fact, many of these individuals would not have been able to meet their objective if not for government support.40：What is the talk mainly about?41：Who first used the motto laisser faire?42：What is the principle idea of the laisser faire policy?Question 43-46Let's begin today by discussing enzymes. Enzymes are what make many of the body's biochemical reactions possible. Actually biochemical reactions can take place without them, but at much lower rates. In fact an enzyme may cause a reaction to proceed billions of times faster than it would otherwise. Before I go on to the biochemical specifics of how this works, let me provide a figurative example. I think it will help illustrate the power of enzymes more clearly. Now, suppose you got a bag and you put a bunch of locks in it, just small padlocks（挂锁）. Then you put in all the keys that go with the locks. And you closed the bag and shook it hard. No matter how long you shook, chances are very small that any key would get inserted in any of the locks. But if you took them all out of the bag and this time used your hands to insert the keys in the locks, you could combine them much quicker.Enzymes act like your hands, quickly allowing chemical reactions that would otherwise take much longer. Now, there are 2 reasons that enzymes are so effective at enabling biochemical reactions. First enzymes greatly reduce the amount of energy required to start the reactions, and with less energy needed the reactions can proceed a lot faster than they could without the enzyme. The second reason is that on a small amount of an enzyme is needed to enable the biochemical reaction. That's because the chemical structure of the enzyme itself does not become altered as if enables the reaction. So a single enzyme can be used to start the same biochemical reaction over and over again.43：What is the talk mainly about?44：What point does the professor make about an enzyme when it is involved in a biochemical reaction? 45：What do enzymes do to help start a biochemical reaction?46：Why does the professor talk about locks and keys?Question 47-50Today I'd like to talk about the sculptor Henry Moore, in particular the ideas his work is based on, and also how he viewed the medium of sculpture. Moore said that to appreciate sculpture a person needs to respond to form in all of its 3 dimensions. He believed that this is more difficult than responding to art that is done on a flat surface, a surface such as canvas that has only 2 dimensions. For example, when you're looking at a painting you don't have to walk around it. You don't relate to form and shape in the same way you do when looking a sculpture. Moore paid great attention to shapes in nature such as that of bones and shells and stones. He thought that if you could appreciate the shape of something simple, like a stone then you could go on to appreciate more complex forms. He noticed that many of thestones he picked up had holes in them. One distinctive feature of Moore's sculpture is his use of holes or opening to emphasize that he is indeed working in a 3 dimensional medium. He believed that the shape of hole itself could have much meaning as that of solid mass, and could even help create a sense of mass or volume. Moore was also interested in representing the human figure, which he sculpted in such materials as bronze, stone, and wood. His sculptures of humans contained one person as in the work reclining figure or several people as in the sculpture family group.47：What is the talk mainly about?48：According to Henry Moore, why is sculpture more difficult to appreciate than other forms of art? 49：Why does the professor mention bones and shells?50：What is one well-known feature of Henry Moore's sculptures?。

I suppose to make paper from wood that you have to add a lot of chemicals and acids to make it turn white.Exactly and it’s the acid that eventually eats away the paper.Oh, that actually make sense, but this book’s not even 75 years old and I’ve seen books in museum that are hundreds of years old and they’re in fine condition.Well, you see, books have been made from wood pulp only since 1850’s, before that they were made from materials mostly animals’ skins or C, no chemicals were added.It’s a shame those older wood pulp books are going to fall apart some day. Is there anything that can be done to preserve them.En, currently the only way to stop the books from decaying is to remove the binding and treat each page individually to remove the acid.That doesn’t sound very economical.No, it isn’t. It’s not practical to treat a large number of books with this process, so we only try to rescue the most valuable 1st edition books in our collection.Well, thanks for the explanation. I’d better get back to my project.Good luck, and I hope the old book hold long enough for you to finish it.31．A．The early history of bookbinding.B．How old books become valuable.C．Economical ways to protect old books,D．Why some books deteriorate.正确答案：D解析：What are the speakers mainly discussing?32．A．They are often handled improperly by readers.B．The paper is destroyed by chemicals.C．The ink used in printing damages the paper.D．The glue used in the binding loses its strength.正确答案：B解析：According to the man, why do modern books decay?33．A．They are difficult to read.B．They are slowly falling apart.C．They were not made from wood pulp.D．They should be stored in a cold place正确答案：C解析：What does the man say about books published before 1950?34．A．It’s very expensive.B．It hasn’t proven to be totally effective.C．It can be damaging to some books.D．It can’t be used on books published before 1850.正确答案：A解析：What does the man say is a drawback to the process of restoring books?35．A．Get some books for the man to look at.B．Ask the man to look over her notes.C．Continue her research in the library.D．Find more information on how books are preserved.正确答案：C解析：What will the women probably do next?听力原文：OK, as you all know, tomorrow we’re be going to the museum to see a special exhibit of screemshore carvings. So today, I’d like to take a few minutes to talk about the article on screemshore you read for today’s class. Let me start byasking exactly what is screemshore?Well, basically it’s a kind of artwork that was done by sailors on whaling ships. When there weren’t any whales around, there might not be much for the sailors to do and they often get pretty bored. So to entertain themselves, they started carving stuff on whale bones and whale teeth.OK, so basically the term screemshore refers to the artwork that sailors created. Usually out of whale bones and whale teeth. Can you give me an example or something that sailors might have carved.Well, for one thing, I remember reading that they carved things that could be used around house, you know, cooking and sowing utensils, that kind of stuff.Good.You know, I noticed from the pictures in the article that some of the carvings have really detailed images on them, like they have some pretty sophiscated pictures of famous people and historical themes and stuff like that. And I was wandering just how they did that.That’s a very good question and it brings us your assignment for tomorrow. While at the museum, I’d like each of you to take some notes on the various technique used in making screemshore. So that we can discuss them when we come back to class.36．A．To plan an exhibit of the student’s artwork.B．To discuss different whaling techniques.C．To prepare for a visit to a museum.D．To review information for an examination.正确答案：C解析：What is the purpose of the discussion?37．A．Iron from old ships.B．Wood found floating in the ocean.C．Seashells of unusual shapes and colors.D．The bones and teeth of whales.正确答案：D解析：From what material dose screemshore usually made?38．A．To occupy their free time.B．To bring good luck.C．To earn extra money.D．To take part in art competitions.正确答案：A解析：According to the discussion, why did sailors begin making screemshore?39．A．They were used in the home.B．They were used to decorate the ship.C．They were used to catch whales.D．They were sold to art dealers.正确答案：A解析：According to the discussion, what was done with the screemshore objects?听力原文： A lot of people think that cultural anthropology is just about studying the special and strange aspects of a society, but anthropologists are also interested in the aspects of life that seems so ordinary that the people in the society think they’re not significant. Let me give you an example, I see lots of T-shirts here in class today, but you probably don’t think of them as an important part of your culture, but anthropologists could learn a lot about the culture of the US just by studying the T shirt. For one thing, T shirts are a mark of how casual clothing has become in America. No one was quite sure where they came from, but the T shirt first become popular in this country as an under shirt for sellers in the 1940s. Then in the 1950s, it became a sign of rebellion for teenagers to wear this white under shirt by itself, not under anything. By the 1960s and 70s, T shirts have become accepted as part of the uniform views. You could even say that they came symbolized that generation’s attitude towards informality and all thing, including dress. On another aspect that anthropologists would find interesting is that T shirts are used to express personal opinions. Look around this room, you know who likes watch TV show, who went where on vacation, who belongs to what organizations on campus. All of these aspects of our culture are printed on your T shirts. OK, I want to stop for a minute and ask you to try to write down five different conclusions you could reach about American culture from just the T shirts in this classroom.40．A．The importance of anthropology to modern society.B．A good source of information about a society.C．Attitudes toward culture in the 1940’s.D．The relationship between anthropology and the military.正确答案：A解析：What is the speaker’s mainly discussing?41．A．Students might not consider them to be an important part of culture.B．They symbolize the rebellion of youth in the 1950’s.C．They are discussed in the student’s textbook.D．They have been worn for hundreds of years.正确答案：A解析：Why does the speaker use T shirts as her example?42．A．To show how politics have changed over the years.B．To point out that T-shirts often provide personal information.C．To illustrate how the printing on clothing has improved.D．To support that T-shirts are a form of art.正确答案：B解析：Why does the speaker mention what is printed on certain T shirts?43．A．Places where T-shirts are not acceptable.B．Images that are currently printed on T-shirts.C．Names of people who have made T-shirts popular.D．Ways that T-shirts represent American culture.正确答案：D解析：What does the speaker ask the students to write down next?听力原文：Finally there is one more element to business success that we haven’t talked about. I know what you think I’m going to say, luck and you’re partially right. Good entrepreneurs know how to make their own luck and that means being in the right place at the right time with the right product. Let me give you a little example, early in this century, if you’re a traveler by train and subway and you happen to get a little thirsty in the station, where would you go for some water? There were no big soda machine at every corner or even drinking fountains, yet there were thousands of thirsty travelers out there, well, what they did was drank water out of one little tin cup that was passed from one thirsty commuter to the next. That’s right, everybody drank out of the same cup, and you can bat it didn’t get washed after every user. Will, that was the right time for the right product and there was a man who had it. His name is H M and his product was the disposable paper cup. He came up with it just as the nation was becoming concerned about their health risks associated with the tin cups. Laws were passed outlying the things; reports were published showing just what sorts of germs can be passed around from sharing them. Mr. M road that way to become the best known producers of one of the most successful paper products of all time. He originally called his product health cups, but later changed the nature, so can anyone guess what that name might be?44．A．Successful business practices.B．Famous inventors.C．Public health concerns.D．Unsuccessful inventions.正确答案：A解析：What general topic has the class been discussing?45．A．They drank from public water fountains.B．They passed around a cup of water.C．They drank from personal tin cups that they carried with them.D．They bought a paper cup of water.正确答案：B解析：In the earlier 20th century, what did train travelers do when they got thirsty?46．A．To demonstrate the importance of public health laws.B．To point out that without luck businesses will not succeed.C．To explain how traveling led to new inventions.D．To illustrate the importance of having the right product at the right time.正确答案：D解析：What is the purpose of the professor’s story?听力原文： A number of insects rely on leaping or jumping as a way of escaping from enemies. Grosshoppers probably have the most remarkable jumping ability of all these insects. If we think of it in human terms, a grosshopper’s high jump is like a human jumping over a five story building. Imagine that a person jumping over a five story building. Well, we’ll take a look at the structure of grosshopper’s leg to see why it’s able to jump so well, but first I wanna talk about the sensory organ that tells grosshoppers when to jump in the first place. En, OK, a grosshopper has two sensory organs located at the end of its abdomen. Whenever these organs sense of change in air pressure which might be produced by an enemy approaching, and impulses transmitted to the legs, this first impulse deactivates the nerves that control normal working and sets the grasshopper’s jumping muscles into a sort of pre-jumping position. Now at this point, if the sensory organs don’t detect additional air pressure changes, the jumping muscles relax and a grosshopper goes back to its normal walking, but if the organs continue to send danger, another set of impulses put the jumping muscles in motion. The distance of the jumping is determined by just how many impulses are transmitted in the second set, the more impulse the longer the jump. OK now let’s see why the grosshopper can jump so far. Open your books at the part of that muscle structure of the grasshopper’s leg. I think it’s in chapter 9.47．A．How grasshoppers find food.B．How grasshoppers fight other insects.C．How grasshoppers communicate with each other.D．How grasshoppers escape from danger.正确答案：D解析：What does the professor mainly discuss?48．A．To correct a common misunderstanding about grasshoppers.B．To help explain how well grasshoppers can jump.C．To compare the size of grasshopper with that of other insects.D．To show how quickly grasshoppers respond to danger.正确答案：B解析：Why does the professor mention a five story building?49．A．They detect nerve impulses transmitted to a grasshopper’s legs.B．They sense how far a grasshopper has jumped.C．They detect changes in air pressure.D．They help a grasshopper find food.正确答案：C解析：What is the function of the sensory organs that the professor discusses?50．A．The number of impulses transmitted to the grasshopper’s legs.B．The age of the grasshopper.C．The number of sensory organs the grasshopper has.D．The size of the nerves that control walking.正确答案：A解析：According to the professor, what determines the distance of a grosshopper’s jump?Sections Two：Structure & Written Expression51．Among the 450 artworks in the White House art collection______.A．as is Mary Cassatt’s Young Mother and Two ChildrenB．is Mary Cassatt’s Young Mother and Two ChildrenC．which is Mary Cassatt’s Young Mother and Two ChildrenD．Mary Cassatt’s Young Mother and Two Children正确答案：B52．An unconsolidated aggregate of silt particles is also termed silt, ______ a consolidated aggregate is called siltstone.A．whichB．whyC．whereasD．whether正确答案：C53．In 1864 the American Shakespearean actor Edwin Booth gained critical acclaim when he______Hamlet at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City.A．performB．performedC．had been performingD．having performed正确答案：B54．______ are chiefly derived from petroleum.A．Plastics todayB．There are plastics todayC．Because today plastics todayD．Due to plastics today正确答案：A55．Most tangerine trees and their flowers and fruits resemble ______ the orange, although tangerines are generally smaller.A．of thoseB．which of thoseC．those ofD．which are of正确答案：C56．Ohio, the center of ______ the Hopewell culture, has the greatest concentration of ancient burial mounds in the United States.A．calledB．what is calledC．that is calledD．is called正确答案：B57．______ , such as jazz, are often played from memory rather than from a written score.A．Of some types musicB．Music some of typesC．Some types of musicD．Types of music some正确答案：C58．During the 1850’, reform movements ______temperance and the abolition of slavery gained strength in the United States.A．advocatingB．they had advocatedC．to advocatingD．to advocate when正确答案：A59．Many meteorites are thought to have originated from ______ that once existed between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.A．where a planet or planetsB．a planet or planets soC．which a planet or planetsD．a planet or planets正确答案：D60．The modern automobile is a composed of more than 14,000 parts.A．complex technical systemB．system of complex technicalC．complex technical system thatD．system is technically complex.正确答案：A61．______ over 100 years since the invention of the square-bottomed paper bag.A．Now isB．Now it hasC．There is nowD．It is now正确答案：D62．The novelist John Dos Passes developed a style of fiction incorporating several documentary devices ______ to his works.A．lent realismB．that lending realismC．to lend realismD．of whose realism lent正确答案：C63．In Earth’s infancy, its surface was warm enough for life ______ the young Sun was fainter than it is today.A．in spite ofB．whetherC．neither of whichD．even though正确答案：D64．The invention of the compound microscope (which allowed much higher magnification through multiple lenses) made ______ the great strides in life sciences.A．it possibleB．possiblyC．possibleD．it was possible正确答案：C65．Hares generally have longer ears and hind legs than rabbits and move by jumping ______ running.A．rather to beB．rather thanC．are ratherD．as rather正确答案：BSections Three：Reading ComprehensionThe first birds appeared during late Jurassic times. These birds are known from four very good skeletons, two incomplete skeletons, and an isolated feather, all from the Solnhofen limestone of Bavaria, Germany. This fine-grained rock, which is extensively quarried for lithographic stone, was evidently deposited in a shallow(5) coral lagoon of a tropical sea, and flying vertebrates occasionally fell into the water and were buried by the fine limy mud, to be preserved with remarkable detail In this way, the late Jurassic bird skeletons, which have been named Archaeopteryx, were fossilized. And not only。

10月托福机经：10月12日托福阅读机经回忆(网友版)第一套：阅读1：儿童的游戏行为的几个阶段以及对其社会性、合作力、情绪控制的作用阅读2：某粮食经济从邻里互助到长距离供给城市发展，推动磨坊商业化什么的，但当时对其认同不高，仍以本地为主阅读3：m地人的生存方式，以主要吃草什么的，后来气候变化，但是他们也经过长期实践学会了培养植物来吃，是耕作文明的先驱第二套：阅读1：上层水面能吸收更多太阳光所以更热，密度就小，下层水面就保持很冷的状态，也没有很多植物。

有种Z动物晚上会浮出水面吃fungus，这样可以避免白天活动的predetors。

有考到单词suspend，温暖的水就比较好能交换冷热两层。

阅读2：有种动物M有奇特的行为，它们中会有人sentry放哨，有三种理论解释这个行为。

第一种说是因为kinship，要保护基因传递下去。

然后说要确定这个理论还要进行下一步实验，看是否immigrats也会有这个行为。

结果发现就算不是kinship的也会放哨。

所以论坛错误。

可能是他们轮流进行放哨这样大家都互相获利。

但发现就算有的M动物放哨一半不干了，别的也会主动放哨更久。

第三种理论出现说是因为自我保护，其实放哨的动物比被保护的更不容易被袭击，他们可以逃的快，所以结论就是放哨行为只是自我保护，大群体顺便受益而已。

阅读3：将Venus，Eatth，Mars的。

说Venus可能以前有海，但是离太阳太近了，水汽都蒸发到大气层然后跑掉了。

大气有超过90%的二氧化碳。

Mars上有水流过的痕迹，科学家说可能发现早期的生物，但这个controversial。

可以肯定的是Mars上现在没水，不是因为离得太远，是因为质量太小。

上面有些火山都不喷发了，所以没有足够的二氧化碳在大气就不够热，所以没有液态水，只有两极啥的有点冰。

地球就不一样了，海底还经常有活跃的火山，版块也会变动，所以有很多液态水。

2001年10月TOEFL试题Section Three: Reading ComprehensionQuestion 1-9Composers today use a wider variety of sounds than ever before, including many that were once considered undesirable noises. Composer Edgard Varese (1883-1965) called thus the "liberation of sound...the right to make music with any and all sounds." Electronic music, for example—made with the aid of computers, synthesizers, and electronic instruments—may include sounds that in the past would not have been considered musical. Environmental sounds, such as thunder, and electronically generated hisses and blips can be recorded, manipulated, and then incorporated into a musical composition. But composers also draw novel sounds from voices and nonelectronic instruments. Singers may be asked to scream, laugh, groan, sneeze, or to sing phonetic sounds rather than words. Wind and string players may lap or scrape their instruments.A brass or woodwind player may hum while playing, to produce two pitches at once; a pianist may reach inside the piano to pluck a string and then run a metal blade along it. In the music of the Western world, the greatest expansion and experimentation have involved percussion instruments, which outnumber strings and winds in many recent compositions.Traditional percussion instruments are struck with new types of beaters; and instruments that used to be couriered unconvennonal in Western music—tom-toms, bongos, slapsticks, maracas—are widely used.In the search for novel sounds, increased use has been made in Western music of Microtones. Non-Western music typically divides and interval between two pitches more finely than Western music does, thereby producing a greater number of distinct tones, or micro tones, within the same interval. Composers such as Krzysztof Pmderecki create sound that borders on electronic noise through tone clusters—closely spaced tones played together and heard as a mass, block, or band of sound. The directional aspect of sound has taken on new importance as well Loudspeakers or groups of instruments may be placed at opposite ends of the stage, in the balcony, or at the back and sides of the auditorium.Because standard music notation makes no provision for many of these innovations, recent music scores may contain graph like diagrams, new note shapes and symbols, and novel ways of arranging notation on the page.1. What does the passage mainly discuss?(A) The use of nontraditional sounds in contemporary music(B) How sounds are produced electronically(C) How standard musical notation has beer, adapted for nontraditional sounds(D) Several composers who have experimented with the electronic production ofsound2. The word "wider" in one 1 is closest in meaning to(A) more impressive (B) more distinctive (C) more controversial (D) more extensive3. The passage suggests that Edgard Varese is an example of a composer who(A) criticized electronic music as too noiselike(B) modified sonic of the electronic instruments he used in his music(C) believed that any sound could be used in music(D) wrote music with environmental themes4. The word "it" in line 12 refers to(A) piano (B)string (C) blade (D) music5. According to the passage, which of the following types of instruments has played a rolein much of the innovation in Western music?(A)String (B) Percussion (C) Woodwind (D) Brass6. The word "thereby" m line 20 is closest in meaning to(A) in return for (B) in spite of (C) by the way (D) by that means7. According to the passage, Krzysziof Pendereckj is known for which of the following practices?(A) Using tones that are clumped together(B) Combining traditional and nontraditional instruments(C) Seating musicians in unusual areas of an auditorium(D) Playing Western music for non-Western audiences8. According to the passage, which of the following would be considered traditional elements of Western music?(A) Microtones (B) Tom-toms and bongos (C) Pianos (D) Hisses9. In paragraph 3, the author mentions diagrams as an example of a new way to(A) chart the history of innovation in musical notation(B) explain the logic of standard musical notation(C) design and develop electronic instruments(D) indicate how particular sounds should be producedQuestions 10-19What unusual or unique biological train led to the remarkable diversification and unchallenged success of the ants for ever 50 million years? The answer appears to be that they were the first group of predatory eusocial insects that both lived and foraged primarily in the soil and in rotting vegetation on the ground. Eusocial refers to a form of insect society characterized by specialization of tasks and cooperative care of the young;it is rare among insects. Richly organized colonies of the land made possible by eusociality enjoy several key advantages over solitary individuals.Under most circumstances groups of workers arc better able to forage for food and defend the nest, because they can switch from individual to group response and back again swiftly and according to need. When a food object or nest intruder is too large for one individual to handle, nestmates can be quickly assembled by alarm or recruitment signals. Equally important is the fact that the execution of multiple-step tasks is accomplished in a series-parallel sequence. That is, individual ants can specialize in particular steps, moving from one object (such as a larva to be fed) to another (a second larva to be fed). They do not need to carry each task to completion from start to finish—for example, to check the larva first, then collect the food, then feed the larva. Hence, if eachlink in the chain has many workers in attendance, a senes directed at any particular object is less likely to fail. Moreover, ants specializing in particular labor categories typically constitute a caste specialized by age or body form or both. There has been some documentation of the superiority in performance and net energetic yield of various castes for their modal tasks, although careful experimental studies are still relatively few.What makes ants unusual in the company of eusocial insects is the fact that they are the only eusocial predators(predators are animals that capture and feed on other animals) occupying the soil and ground litter. The eusocial termites live in the same places as ants and also have wingless workers, but they feed almost exclusively on dead vegetation.l0. Which of the following questions does the passage primarily answer?(A) How do individual ants adapt to specialized tasks?(B) What are the differences between social and solitary insects?(C) Why are ants predators?(D) Why have ants been able to thrive for such a long time?11. The word "unique" in line 1 is closest in meaning to(A) inherited (B) habitual (C) singular (D) natural12. The word "rotting" in line 4 is closest in meaning to(A) decaying (B) collected (C) expanding (D) cultivated13. The word "key" in line 7 is closest in meaning to(A) uncommon (B) important (C) incidental (D) temporary14. According to the passage, one thing eusocial insects can do is rapidly switch from(A) one type of food consumption to another (B) one environment to another(C) a solitary task to a group task (D) a defensive to an offensive stance15. The task of feeding larvae is mentioned in the passage to demonstrate(A) the advantages of specialization(B) the type of food that larvae are fed(C) the ways ant colonies train their young for adult tasks(D) the different stages of ant development16. The author uses the word "Hence" in line 16 to indicate(A) a logical conclusion (B) the next step in a senes of steps(C) a reason for further study (D) the relationship among ants17. All of the following terms art defined in the passage EXCEPT(A) eusocial (line 3) (B) series-parallel sequence (line 13)(C) caste (line 19) (D) predators (line 23)18. The word "they" in line 25 refers to(A) termites (B)ants (C) places (D) predators19. It can be inferred from the passage that one main difference between termites and ants is that termites(A) live above ground (B) are eusocial(C) protect their nests (D) eat almost no animal substancesQuestions 20-29Glaciers are large masses of ice on land that show evidence of past or present movement. They grow by the gradual transformation of snow into glacier ice. A fresh snowfall is a fluffy mass of loosely packed snowflakes, small delicate ice constals grown in the atmosphere. As the snow ages on the ground for weeks or months, the crystals shrink and become more compact, and the whole mass becomes squeezed together into a more dense form, granular snow. As new snow falls and buries the older snow, the layers of granular snow further compact to form firm, a much denser kind of snow, usually a year or more old, which has little pore space. Further burial and slow cementation—a process by which crystals become bound together in a mosaic of intergrown ice crystals—finally produce solid glacial ice. In this process of recrystallization, the growth of new crystals at the expense of old ones, the percentage of air is reduced from about 90 percent for snowflakes to less than 20 percent for glacier ice.The whole process may take as little as a few years, but more likely ten or twenty years or longer. The snow is usually many meters deep by the time the lower layers art converted into ice. In cold glaciers those formed in the coldest regions of the Earth, the entire mass of ice is at temperatures below the melting point and no free water exists. In temperate glaciers, the ice is at the melting point at every pressure level within the glacier, and free water is present as small drops or as larger accumulations in tunnels within or beneath the ice.Formation of a glacier is complete when ice has accumulated to a thickness (and thus weight) sufficient to make it move slowly under pressure, in much the same way that solid rock deep within the Earth can change shape without breaking. Once that point is reached, the ice flows downhill, either as a tongue of ice filling a valley or as thick ice cap that flows out in directions from the highest central area where the most snow accumulates. The up down leads to the eventual melting of ice.20. Which of the following does the passage mainly discuss?(A) The effect of glaciers on climate (B) Damage from glaciers(C) Glacier formation (D) The location of glaciers21. Which of the following will cause density within the glacier to increase?(A) Increased water and air content (B) Pressure from the weight of new snow(C) Long periods of darkness and temperature variations (D) Movement of the glacier22. The word "bound" in line 9 is closest in meaning to(A) covered (B) chosen (C) planned (D) held23. Which of the following will be lost is a glacier forms?(A) Air (B) Pressure (C) Weight (D) Rocks24. According to the passage, which of the following is the LEAST amount of time necessary for glacial ice to form?(A) Several months (B) Several years (C) At least fifty years (D) A century25. The word "converted" in line 14 is closest in meaning to(A) changed (B) delayed (C) promoted (D) dissolved26. What is the purpose of the material in paragraph three (lines 16-19)(A) To define two types of glaciers (B) To contrast glacier ice with non-glacier ice (C) To present theories of glacier formation (D) To discuss the similarities between glacial types27. In temperate glaciers, where is water found?(A) Only near the surface (B) In pools a: various depths(C) In a thin layer below the firm (D) In tunnels28. The word "it" in line 21 refers to(A) formation (B) ice (C) thickness (D) weight29. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that a glacier(A) can revert to a fluffy mass (B) maintains the same shape throughout the glacial process(C) is too cold to be thoroughly studied (D) can contribute water to lakes, rivers, or oceansQuestions 30-39The lack of printing regulations and the unenforceability of British copyright law in the American colonies made it possible for colonial printers occasionally to act as publishers. Although they rarely undertook major publishing project because it was difficult to sell books as cheaply as they could be imported from Europe, printers in Philadelphia did publish work that required only small amounts of capital, paper, and type. Broadsides could be published with minimal financial risk. Consisting of only one sheet of paper and requiring small amounts of type, broadsides involved lower investments of capital than longer works. Furthermore, the broadside format lent itself to subjects of high, if temporary, interest, enabling them to meet with ready sale. If the broadside printer miscalculated, however, and produced a sheet that did not sell, it was not likely to be a major loss, and the printer would know this immediately, There would be no agonizing wait with large amounts of capital tied up, books gathering dust on the shelves, and creditors impatientfor payment In addition to broadsides, books and pamphlets, consisting mainly of political tracts, catechisms, primers, and chapbooks were relatively inexpensive to print and to buy.Chapbook were pamphlet-sized books, usually containing popular tales, ballads, poems, short plays, and jokes, small, both in formal and number of pages, they were generally bound simply, in boards (a form of cardboard) or merely stitched in paper wrappers (a sewn antecedent of modern-day paperbacks). Pamphlets and chapbooks did not require fine paper or a great deal of type to produce they could thus be printed in large, costeffective editions and sold cheaply.By far, the most appealing publishing investments were to be found in small books that had proven to be steady sellers, providing a reasonably reliable source of income for the publisher. They would not, by nature, be highly topical or political; as such publications would prove of fleeting interest. Almanacs, annual publications that contained informationon astronomy and weather patterns arranged according to the days, week, and months ofa given year, provided the perfect steady seller because their information pertained to thelocale in which they would be used.30. Which aspect of colonial printing does the passage mainly discuss?(A) Laws governing the printing industry. (B) Competition among printers(C) Types of publications produced (D) Advances in printing technology31. According to the passage, why did colonial printers avoid major publishing projects?(A) Few colonial printers owned printing machinery tha was large enough to handle major projects.(B) There was inadequate shipping available in the colonies.(C) Colonial printers could not sell their work for a competitive price.(D) Colonial printers did not have the skills necessary to undertake large publishing projects.32. Broadsides could be published with little risk to colonial printers because they(A) required a small financial investment and sold quickly(B) were in great demand in European markets(C) were more popular with colonists than chapbooks and pamphlets(D) generally dealt with topics of long-term interest to many colonists33. The word "they" in line 17 refers to(A) chapbooks (B) tales (C) jokes (D) pages34.The word "antecedent" in line 19 is closest in meaning to(A) predecessor (B)format (C) imitation (D) compontent35. Chapbooks produced in colonial America were characterized by(A) fine paper (B) cardboard covers (C) elaborate decoration (D) a large number of pages36. The word "appealing" in line 22 is closest in meaning to(A) dependable (B) respectable (C) enduring (D) attractive37. What were "steady sellers" (line 23)?(A) Printers whose incomes were quite large(B) People who traveled from town to town selling Books and pamphlets(C) Investors who provided reliable financial Support for new printers(D) Publications whose sales were usually consistent from year to year38. The word "locale" in line 28 is closest in meaning to(A) topic (B) season (C) interest (D) place39. All of the following are defined in the passage EXCEPT(A) "Broadsides" (line 6) (B) "catechisms" (line 15)(C) "chapbooks"(line 16) (D) "Almanacs" (line 25)Questions 40-50Industrialization came to the United State after 1790 as North American entrepreneurs increased productivity by reorganizing work and building factories. These innovations in manufacturing boosted output and living standards to an unprecedented extent; the average per capita wealth increased by nearly 1 percent per year—30 percentover the course of a generation. Goods that had once been luxury items became part of everyday life.The impressive gain in output stemmed primarily from the way in which workers made goods, since the 1790's, North American entrepreneurs—even without technological improvements—had broadened the scope of the outwork system that mace manufacturing (10) more efficient by distributing materials to a succession of workers who each performed a single step of the production process. For example, during the 1820's and 1830's the shoe industry greatly expanded the scale and extend of me outwork system. Tens of thousands of rural women, paid according to the amount they produced, fabricated the "uppers" of shoes, which were bound to the soles by wage-earning journeymen shoemakers in dozens of Massachusetts towns, whereas previously journeymen would have made the enure shoe. This system of production made the employer a powerful "shoe boss" and eroded workers' control over the pace and conditions of labor. However, it also dramatically increased the output of shoes while cutting their price.For tasks that were not suited to the outwork system, entrepreneurs created an even more important new organization, the modem factory, which used power-driven machines and assembly-line techniques to turn out large quantities of well-made goods. As early as 1782 the prolific Delaware inventor Oliver Evans had built a highly automated, laborsaving flour mill driven by water power. His machinery lifted the grain to the top of the mill, cleaned it as it fell into containers known as hoppers, ground the grain into flour, and then conveyed the flour back to the top of the mill to allow it to cool as it descended into barrels. Subsequently, manufacturers made use of new improved stationary steam engines to power their mills. This new technology enabled them to build factories in the nation's largest cities, taking advantage of urban concentrations of inexpensive labor, good transportation networks, and eager customers.40. What is the passage mainly about?(A)The difficulties of industrialization in North America(B)The influence of changes in manufacturing on the growth of urban centers(C) The rapid speed of industrialization in North America(D) Improved ways of organizing the manufacturing of goods41. The word "boosted" in line 3 is closest in meaning to(A) ensured (B) raised (C) arranged (D) discouraged42. The word "scope" in line 9 is closest in meaning to(A) value (B) popularity (C) extent (D) diversity43 .The author mentions the shoe industry in the second paragraph to provide an example of how(A) entrepreneurs increased output by using an extended outwork system(B) entrepreneurs used technological improvements to increase output(C) rural workers responded to "shoe bosses"(D) changes in the outwork system improved the quality of shoes44. All of the following are mentioned as effects of changes in the shoe industry during the 1820's and 1830's EXCEPT(A) an increase in the worker's dependence on entrepreneurs(B) an increase in the wages paid to journeymen shoemakers(C) a decline in the workers ability to control the speed of production(D) a decrease in the price of shoes45. All of the following are true of the outwork system EXCEPT(A) It involved stages of production.(B) It was more efficient than the systems used before 1790.(C) It made many employers less powerful than they had been before.(D) It did not necessarily involve any technological improvements.46. The word "prolific" in line 22 is closest in meaning to(A) efficient (B) productive (C) self-employed (D) progressive47. According to the passage, how did later mills differ from the mills differ from the mill built by Oliver Evans?(A) They were located away from large cities.(B) They used new technology to produce power.(C)They did not allow flour to cool before it was placed in Barrels.(D)They combined technology with the outwork system.48. The word "it" in line 24 refers to(A) water power (B) machinery (C) grain (D) mill49. The passage mentions which of the following as a result of improvements in factory machinery?(A) It become easier for factory' owners to find workers and customers.(B) Manufacturers had to employ more highly skilled workers.(C) The amount of power required for factories operate was reduced.(D) Factories could operate more than one engine at a time.50.
