weekend in winter.5.This passage is written for the purpose of i n v i t i n g.A.tourists B.villagers命 C.businessmen D.volunteersPassage 2Tides are created mainly by the pull of the moon on the earth.The moons pull causes water in theoceans to be a little deeper at a point closest to the moon and also at a point farthest from the moon on theopposite side of the earth.These two tidal Hwavesn follow the apparent movement of the moon around theearth and strike nearly every coast line at intervals of about twelve hours and twenty-five minutes.Afterreaching a high point,the water level goes down gradually for a little more than six hours and then beginsto rise toward a new high point.Hence,most coast lines have two tides a day and the tides occur fiftyminutes later each day.Differences in the coast line and in channels in the ocean bottom may change thetime that the tidal wave reaches different points along the same coast line.The difference in water levelbetween high and low tide varies from day to day according to the relative positions of the sun and themoon.The sun also exerts a pull on the earth,although it is only about half as strong as the pull of themoon.When the sun and the moon are pulling along the same line,the tides rise higher,and when theypull at right angles to one another,the tide is lower.The formation of the coast line and variations in theweather are additional factors which can affect the height of tides.Some sections of the coast are shaped insuch a way as to cause much higher tides than are experienced in other areas.A strong wind blowingtoward the shore may also cause tides to the higher.1.Which of the following is right according to the passage?A.Some coast lines do not have two tides each day.B.Tides are not affected by the shape of coast line.C.The sun has as much effect on tides as does the moon.D.Tides usually rise to the same land day after day.A2.The time that high tide occurs at a particular place is affected by all of the

tide is affected by all of the following E X C E P T.A.the position of the sun B.channels in the sea bottom C.the direction of the wind D.variations in the coast linelB5.Tides would if the pull of the moon equaled the pull of the sun.A.be the same height as they are now B.be of equal height all the time C.sometimes be higher than they are now D.no longer be affected by the windCPassage 3Television has opened windows in everybodys life.Young men will never again go to war as they didin1914.Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle.And the result has been a general loathingof war,and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have beenshown on the screen.Television has also changed politics.The most distant areas can now follow state affairs,see and hearthe politicians before an election.Better informed,people are more likely to vote,and so to make theiropinion count.Unfortunately,television influence has been extremely harmful to the young.Children do not haveenough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world;that TV advertisements lie to sellproducts that are sometimes bad or useless.They believe that the violence they see is normal andacceptable.All educators agree that the television generations1 1 are more violent than their parents andgrandparents.Also,the young are less patient.Used to TV shows,where everything is quick and interesting,they donot have the patience to read an article without pictures;to read a book that requires thinking;to listen toa teacher who doesnt do funny things like the people on childrens programs.And they expect allproblems to be solved happily in ten,fifteen,or thirty minutes.Thats the time it takes on the screen.1.The underlined word loathing in the first paragraph refers to.A.preference B.faith C.dislike D.beliefC2.In the past,many young p e o p l e.A.knew the effects of war B.went in for politics C.liked to save the wounded in wars D.had to

hat.A.children should keep away from TV B.TV programs should be improved C.childrens books should have pictures D.TV has a deep influence on the youngpPassage 4The biggest safety threat facing airlines today may not be a terrorist with a gun,but the man with theportable computer in business class.In the past 15 years,pilots have reported well over 100 incidents thatcould have been caused by electromagnetic interference.The source of this interference remainsunconfirmed,but increasingly,experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic devices such asportable computers,radio and cassette players and mobile telephones.RTCA,an organization which advises the aviation industry,has recommended that all airlines ban suchdevices from being used during critical stages of flight,particularly take-off and landing.Some expertshave gone further,calling for a total ban during all flights.Currently,rules on using these devices are leftup to individual airlines.And although some airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipmentduring take-off and landing,most are reluctant to enforce a total ban,given that many passengers want towork during flights.The difficulty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircrafts computers.Expertsknow that portable devices emit radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use fornavigation and communication.But,because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in alaboratory,they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not.The fact that aircraft may be vulnerable to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radiosystem in order to damage navigation equipment.As worrying,though,is the passenger who cant hearthe instructions to turn off his radio because the musics too loud.1.The passage is mainly a b o u t.A.a new regulation for all airlines B.the defects of electronic devices C.a possible cause of aircraft crashes D
