14、: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You are required to decide on the choice that best answers the question or completes the statement.Passage 1Questions 21 to 25 ar

15、e based on the following passage.Very high waves are destructive when they strike the land. Fortunately, this seldom happens. One reason is that out at sea, waves moving in one direction almost always run into waves moving in a different direction. The two sets of waves tend to cancel each other out

16、. Another reason is that water is shallower near the shore. As a wave gets closer to land, the shallow bottom helps reduce its strength.But the power of waves striking the shore can still be very great. During a winter gale, waves sometimes strike with the force of 6,000 pounds for each square foot.

17、 That means a wave, 25 feet high and 500 feet along its face, may strike the shore with a force of 75 million pounds.Yet the waves, no matter how big or how violent, affect only the surface of the sea. During the most raging storms, the water a hundred fathoms (600 feet) beneath the surface is just

18、as calm as on a day without a breath of wind.21. According to the passage, destruction caused by high waves occurs _.A. regularly B. rarely C. always D. predictably22. We know from this passage that out at sea, when waves going in opposite directions meet, their force _.A. causes great damage B. ext

19、ends to the ocean floorC. is liable to lessen D. increase rapidly23. It is clear from the passage that coastal depth _.A. is the only factor influencing the strength of high wavesB. influences the power of high wavesC. has no in influence upon the strength of very high wavesD. is irrelevant to the q

20、uestion of the power of high waves24. From the second paragraph of the passage we know that power of very high waves striking the shore is _. A. constant B. equalized C. variable D. perpetual25. From your reading of the passage, which of the following is true? A. At a depth of 1,200 feet the effects

21、 of a violent surface storm are frightful.B. A submarine commander navigating his vessel at a depth of 700 feet will not be affected by a raging surface storm. C. A typhoon 500miles out at sea can stir up the ocean floor. D. If high waves cab strike the shore with a horizontal force of 75 million po

22、unds, the vertical force of such waves can have an even greater effect upon the ocean floor.Passage 2Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:To the Editor:Your article on plans for aiding the elderly to pay their housing costs was not quite clear in several aspects. I would like to cla

23、rify the requirements and exemptions (豁免) available for those who qualify.In the first place, a tenant 62 years old or older must live in a rent-controlled or rent-stabilized dwelling, pay more than one-third of his or her income for rent, and have a yearly income of $8,000 or less. Such a tenant mu

24、st reapply each year thereafter. Once is not enough. It is understood, however, that should the landlord make a major improvement, a new furnace for example, all tenants are not excluded from such a rent increase.Landlords receive tax exemptions as reimbursement (赔偿) for the money they lose in not i

25、ncreasing rent for the elderly. In New York City the cost of these tax reductions is $ 41 million a year, a tremendous figure, but likely to be higher if more of the elderly poor learn they may apply for exemptions. The city is so slow in processing applications that some tenants have paid the full

26、rent. They ought to have done so. They are fully protected by the law and once they have applied for exemption, they do not have to pay rent increases.I appeal to you to clarify this issue so that the poor elderly of our city may become aware of the housing benefits for which they qualify.Clara Torr

27、esOffice of Housing for the Elderly26.

As she once said of herself, “I would never sit back in rocking chair, waiting fo

32、r someone to help me.” No one could have had a more productive old age.She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. At twelve she left home and was in domestic service until, at twenty-seven, she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her emp

33、loyers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927.Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a hobby, but only switched to oils in old age becaus

34、e her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a fair, and were soon spotted by a dealer who bought everything she painted. Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modem Art, and in 1940

35、she had her first exhibition in New York. Between 1930s and her death she produced some 2,000 pictures: detailed and lively portrayals of the rural life she had known for so long, with a marvelous sense of color and form. “I think real hard till I think of something real pretty, and then I paint it.

Mr. Foresters, who followed and counted tiger footprints, estimated tha

40、t in May 1972 only about 1,800 tigers existed in India. Project Tiger supported by W. W. F. was immediately launched. Nine tiger reserves were created, with armed guards protecting them.The project provided opportunities for researchers from India and abroad to study tigers in the reserves and gathe

41、r previously unavailable information about their habits. Studies show that a male tiger may control a hunting territory of between 10 and 20 sq. kms. depending on its age, size and strength. The territory of male includes the smaller territories of three or four tigresses. A tiger marks the boundari

42、es of its territories by spraying urine (尿) and other bodily liquids on bushes. But it tries to avoid territorial fights, being guided by the distinctive body smell of other tigers. Tigers fight to death only when a tigress is defending her young, or when a tiger is guarding a tigress from the atten

43、tions of other males.The popular image of the tiger is that of a merciless and unconquerable hunter. But studies show that it catches only one of 20 victims (牺牲品) it tries to attack.Fears have recently developed that Project Tiger has been too successful.

44、e (by mid-80s), but Indias human population has also grown out of control. Currently it is 750 million and likely to be 900 million by the end of the century.
