1、2022年综合类每日一练08-29-综合类1、Like fine food, good writing is something we approach with pleasure and enjoy from the first taste to the last. ?(46) ? Quite the contrary, just as the cook has to undergo an intensive training, mastering the skills of his trade, the writer must sit at his desk and devote long

2、 hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purpose-school work, matters of business, or purely social communication. ?(47) ? ? ?There are still some remote places in the world where you might find someone to do your business or social writing for you, for a fee. There are a few manager

3、s who are lucky enough to have the service of that rare kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than a quick note to work from. ?(48) ? ? ?We have to write school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to put words to paper. It wou

4、ld be difficult to count the number of such words, messages, letters, and reports put to the mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figure must be enormous. ?(49) ? We want to arouse and hold the interest of readers. We want whatever we write to be read, from first word to last, not thrown into s

5、ome letters-to-be-read file or into a wastepaper basket. ?(50) ? ? ?A. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves. ? ?B. However, the managers may sometimes cause the writers a lot of trouble. ? ?C. Any good writers, like good cooks, do not suddenly appear ful

6、l-blown (成熟的). ? ?D. What is more, everyone who writes expects, or at least hopes, that his writing will be read. ? ?E ?This is the reason we bend our efforts toward learning and practising the skills of interesting, effective writing. ? ?F ?You may be sure that the greater the effort, the more effe

7、ctive the writing, and the more rewarding. 2、Penguins do not suffer from the cold in Antarctica because their feathers secrete protective oil.A. hideB. warmC. produceD. absorb3、Archaeologists have discovered Ufossils/U of million-year-old animals in excavations.A. remnantsB. gravesC. recordsD. paws4

9、 reader the facts, unalloyed (纯粹的), unslanted (不偏不倚的), objectively selected facts. U?(46) ?/U. This is the most important assignment confronting American journalismto make clear to the reader the problems of the day, to make international news as understandable as community news, to recognize that t

10、here is no longer any such thing(with the possible exception of such scribblings (乱写一气的东西) as society and club news) as local news, because any event in the international area has a local reaction in manpower draft, in economic strain, in terms, indeed, of our very way of life.? ?There is in journal

11、ism a widespread view that when you embark on interpretation, you are entering rough and dangerous waters, the swirling tides of opinion. U?(47) ?/U.? ?The opponents of interpretation insist that the writer and the editor shall confine himself to the facts. This insistence raises two questions: What

12、 are the facts? U?(48) ?/U.? ?As to the first question, consider how a so-called, factual story comes about. The reporter collects, say, fifty facts, out of these fifty, his space allocation being necessarily restricted, he selects the ten which he considers most important. This is Judgment No. 1. T

13、hen he or his editor decides which of these ten facts shall constitute the lead of the piece. This is Judgment No. 2. Then the night editor determines whether the article shall be presented on page one, where it has a large impact, or on twenty-four where it has little. Judgment No. 3.? ?U ?(49) ?/U

14、. And they are judgments no at all unlike those involved in interpretation, in which reporter and editor, calling upon their research resources, their general background, and their news neutralism, arrive at a conclusion as to the significance of the news.? ?The two areas of judgment, presentation o

15、f the news and its interpretation, are both objective rather than subjective processesas objective, that, is as any human can be. If an editor is intent on slanting the news, he can do in other ways and more effectively than by interpretation. U?(50) ?/U. Or he can do it by the play he gives a story

16、-promoting it to page one or demoting it to page thirty.? ?A. He can do it by the selection of those facts that prop up his particular plea.? ?B. But in these days of complex news it must provide more, it must supply interpretation, the meaning of the facts.? ?C. Thus, in the presentation of a so-ca

17、lled factual or objective story, at least three judgments are involved.? ?D. This is nonsense.? ?E. Through this interpretation, we can easily know the meaning of the news.? ?F. And: Are the bare facts enough?7、B第二篇/B? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? BCan Buildings Be Designed to Resist Terrorist Attack?/B? ?In t

18、he aftermath of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, structural engineers are trying hard to solve a question that a month ago would have been completely unthinkable: Can building be designed to withstand catastrophic blasts inflicted by terrorists? ?Ten days after the terrorist attacks o

19、n the twin towers, structural engineers from the University at Buffalo and the Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER) headquartered at UB traveled to ground zero as part of a project funded by the National Science Foundation. Visiting the site as part of an MCEER reconn

20、aissance visit. They spent two days beginning the task of formulating ideas about how to design such structures and to search for clues on how to do so in buildings that were damaged, but still are standing.? ?Our objective in visiting ground zero was to go and look at the buildings surrounding the

21、World Trade Center, those buildings that are still standing, but that sustained damage, said M. Bruneau. Ph. D. Our immediate hope is that we can develop a better understanding as to why those buildings remain standing, while our long-term goal is to see whether earthquake engineering technologies c

22、an be married to existing technologies to achieve enhanced performance of buildings in the event of terrorist attacks, he added.? ?Photographs taken by the investigators demonstrate in startling detail the monumental damage inflicted on the Workd Trade Center towers and buildings in the vicinity. On

23、e building a block away from the towers remains standing, but was badly damaged. This building is many meters away from the World Trade Center and yet we see a column there that used to be part of that building, explained A. Whittaker. Ph. D. The column became a missile that shot across the road thr

24、ough the window and through the floor.? ?The visit to the area also revealed some surprises, according to the engineers. For example, the floor flaming system in one of the adjacent buildings was quite rugged, allowing floors that were pierced by tons of fairing debris to remain intact. Highly redun

25、dant ductile framing systems may provide a simple, but robust strategy for blast resistance, he added. Other strategies may include providing alternate paths for gravity loads in the event that a load-beating column fails. We also need a better understanding of the mechanism of collapse. said A. Whi

26、taker. We need to find out what causes a building to collapse and how you can predict it.? ?A. Reinhorn, Ph. D. noted that earthquake shaking has led to the collapse of many buildings in the past. It induces dynamic response and extremely high stresses and deformations in structural components. Solu

27、tions developed for earthquake resistant design may be directly applicable to blast engineering and terrorist resistant design. Part of our mission now at UB is to transfer these solutions and to develop new ones where none exist at present.? ?aftermath n. 后果，结? ?in the vicinity 附近? ?debris n. 碎片? ?

29、ger to find a solution to8、 The Most Wonderful IslandsThe Palm Islands are the largest artificial islands in the world and are under construction in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates on which major commercial and residential infrastructure will be constructed. They are being developed as tourist, l

30、eisure, and residential resorts, and will increase the coastline of the country by 120 kilometres.After four years of planning and careful consideration of the environmental issues, construction started in 2001. Dutch engineers with experience of reclaiming land from the sea were employed in the bui

31、lding of the first two islands. The site for all three islands is an area of the sea where the water is not very deep. Sand is taken from the seabed and sprayed into the construction site. Although the shallow water facilitates this process, the islands are still very exposed to the currents and tid

32、al movements of the sea. Rocks are used to hold the sand in place resulting in a large crescent(月状的)structure. This acts as a breakwater and protects the islands from the sea.The first two islands are in the shape of date palm trees and consist of a trunk and 17 fronds, or leaves, coming off the tru

33、nk. The first island, named Palm Jumeirah, has three five-star hotels in the trunk, and luxury homes in the leaves. It is astonishing that when these homes went on sale in 2004, they were all sold within three days.The second palm Jebel Ali, was started in 2002 and is designed to be an entertainment

34、 centre. Six marinas(小游艇船坞) are planned, with a water theme park, and home built on stilts(桩柱) in the water.The Palm Deira is planned to be the largest of the three islands, with a length of 14 km and a width of 8.5 km, an area larger than the city of Paris. It will consist of residential properties

35、, marinas, shopping malls, sports facilities, and clubs. These will be open to both residents and tourists.More artificial islands, the World Islands, are now being constructed near the Palm Jumeirah. They consist of 300 private islands grouped into the shape of the continents of the world and will

36、be used for estates, private homes, community islands, and resorts.Unquestionably, these artificial islands are one of the wonders of the modern world. They will also maintain Dubais status as one of the leading tourist destinations in the region.The islands are being built in the deep water of the

These birds are flying south to places where they can find food and warmth for the winter. They are migrating(迁徙). The young bir

38、ds usually learn to migrate from their parents. They follow their parents south, in one unusual case, however, the young birds are following something very different. These birds are young whooping cranes, and they are following an airplane!The young whooping crane is the largest bird that is native

39、 to North America. These birds almost disappeared in the 1800s. By 1941, there were only about 20 cranes alive. In the 1970s, people were worried that these creatures were in danger of disappearing completely. As a result, the United States identified whooping cranes as an endangered species that th

40、ey needed to protect.Some researchers tried to help. They began to breed whooping cranes in special parks to increase the number of birds. This plan was successful. There were a lot of new baby birds. As the birds became older, the researchers wanted to return them to nature. However, there was a pr

41、oblem: These young birds did not know how to migrate. They needed human help.In 2001, some people had a creative Idea. They formed an organization called Operation Migration. This group decided to use very light airplanes, instead of birds, to lead the young whooping cranes on their first trip south

42、. They painted each airplane to look like a whooping crane. Even the pilots wore special clothing to make them look like cranes. The cranes began to trust the airplanes, and the plan worked.Today, planes still lead birds across approximately 1,200 miles (1,931 kilometers), from the United States-Can

43、adian border to the Gulf of Mexico. They leave the birds at different sites. If a trip is successful, the birds can travel on their own in the future. Then, when these birds become parents, they will teach their young to migrate. The people of Operation Migration think this is the only way to mainta

44、in the whooping crane population.Operation Migration works with several other organizations and government institutes. Together, they assist hundreds of cranes each year. However, some experts predict that soon, this wont be necessary. Thanks to Operation Migration and its partners, the crane popula

45、tion will continue to migrate. Hopefully, they wont need human help any more.Whopping cranes are native toA. MexicoB. South AmericaC. the Persian GulfD. North America10、Sport or Spectacle Muhammad All is probably the most famous sports figure on earth: he is recognized on every continent and by all

46、generations. The (51) of his illness as Parkinsons disease after his retirement fuelled the debate about the dangers of boxing and criticism (52) the sport. That, plus his outspoken opposition (53) womens boxing, made people wonder how he would react when one of his daughters decided to (54) up the

47、sport. His presence at Lailas first professional fight, however, seemed to broadcast a fathers support. Of course Muhammad All wanted to (55) his daughter fight. The ring announcer introduced him as the the greatest and as he sat down at the ringside the crowd chanted. Twenty-one-year-old Lailas deb

(57) , Lailas opponent was much weaker than she was and the fight lasted just 31 seconds. Since then, Laila has won most of her fights by knocking out her opponent. She knows (58) shes doing, said one referee about her. She knows about moving well. You can see some of her dads moves. Laila Ali would rather not (59) herself to her father. She prefers to make her own (60) . Her father supports her dec
