10、R SHEET.(40 points,2points for each)Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:In the earliest stages of mans development he had no more need of money than animalshave.He was content with very simple forms of shelter,made his own rough tools and weaponsand could provide food and clothing

11、for himself and his family from natural materials aroundhim.As he became more civilized,however,he began to want better shelter,more efficient toolsand weapons,and more comfortable and more lasting clothing than could be provided by his ownneighborhood or by the work of his own unskilled hands.For t

12、hese things he had to turn to theskilled people such as smiths,leather workers or carpenters who were springing up everywhere.Itwas then that the question of payment arose.At first he got what he wanted by a simple process of exchange.The smith who had not thetime to look after land or cattle was gl

14、,but had nothing to offer inexchange until their finished goods were ready.Thus the difficulties of exchange led by degrees to the invention of money.In somecountries,easily handled things like seeds or shells were given a certain value and the farmer,instead of paying the smith for a new axe by giv

22、 to.Little of his time is spent in chatting.He will spend most of his working life typing millionsof words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad,unimportant people who are guilty ofstupid,petty crimes.第 3 页 共 9 页科 目 代 码 241 科目名称英港 满 分 皿Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal:

23、as soon as hes arrested,the story isover.In real life,finding criminals is seldom much of a problem.Except in very serious cases likemurders and terrorist attacks little effort is spent on searching.Having made an arrest,a detective really start to work.He has to prove his case in court andto do tha

24、t he often has to gather a lot of different evidence.At third big difference between the drama detective and the real one is the unpleasantpressures:first,as members of a police force they always have to behave absolutely in accordancewith the law.Secondly,as expensive public servants they have to g

25、et results.They can hardly everdo both.Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways.If the detective has to deceive the world,the world often deceives him.Hardly anyone hemeets tells him the truth.And this separation the detective feels between himself and the rest ofthe world

26、 is deepened by the simple-mindedness,as he sees it,of citizens,social workers,doctors,law-makers,and judges,who,instead of eliminating crimes,punish the criminals less severely inthe hope that this will make them reform.The result,detectives feel,is that nine-tenths of theirwork is re-catching peop

27、le who should have stayed behind bars.This makes them rather cynical.26.Why criminal law is very important in real policemens life?A)They hope to become professional lawyers.B)They hope to become judges one day.C)They need to chase after the murders.D)They need to justify the arrests he makes of cri

32、35 are based on the following passage:Merchant and passenger ships are generally required to have a life preserver for every personaboard and,in many cases,a certain percentage of smaller sizes for children.According to UnitedStates Coast Guard requirements,life preservers must be simple in design,r

33、eversible,capable ofbeing quickly adjusted to fit the uninitiated individual,and must be so designed as to supportthe wearer in the water in an upright or slightly backward position.Sufficient buoyancy to support the wearer should be retained by the life preserver after 48hour in the water,and it sh

34、ould be reliable even after long period of storage.Thus it should bemade of materials resistant to sunlight,gasoline,and oils,and it should be not easily set on fire.The position in which the life preserver will support a person who jumps or falls into thewater is most important,as is its tendency t

35、o turn the wearer in the water from a face-downposition to an upright or slightly backward position,with his face clear of the water,even whenthe wearer is exhausted or unconscious.The method of adjustment to the body should be simple,and self-evident to uninitiatedpersons even in the dark under the

36、 confused conditions which follow a disaster.Thus,the lifepreserver should be reversible,so that it is nearly impossible to set it on wrong.Catches,straps,and ties should be kept to a minimum.In addition,the life preserver must be adjustable to thewide variety of shapes and sizes of wearers,since th

37、is greatly affects the position of floating andthe self-righting qualities.A suitable life preserver should also be comfortable to wear at all times,in and out of the water,not so heavy as to encourage to take it off on shipboard while the ship isin danger,nor so burdensome that it hinders a person

38、in the water while trying to swim.31.What the main topic of the passage?A)The usefulness of life preservers.B)The design of life preservers.C)The materials for life preservers.D)The buoyancy of life preservers.32.According to the passage,a life preserver should be,first and f o r e m o s t,.A)adjust

40、”(Line 4,Para.1)refer to?A)The person who has not been instructed how to use a life preserver.B)The person who jumps or falls into the water.C)The person who uses a life preserver without permission.D)The person who becomes nervous before a disaster.35.What would happen if a person were supported by

42、cing a water crisis seems paradoxical.And yet that is exactly thereality on planet Earth,where 97 percent of the water is too salty to quench human thirst or toirrigate crops.Tackling water-shortage issues with desalination-drawing fresh,drinkable waterout of salty seawater_ is common in the desert

43、nations of the Middle East,the Caribbean and theMediterranean.But as the cost of desalination drops and the price and demand for water climb,countries in temperate regions are turning more and more to the sea.People have been pulling freshwater out of the oceans for centuries using technologies that

44、involve evaporation,which leaves the salts and other unwanted constituents behind.Salty sourcewater is heated to speed evaporation,and the evaporated water is then trapped and distilled.Thisprocess works well but requires large quantities of heat energy,and costs have been prohibitivefor nearly all

45、but the wealthiest nations,such as Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.To make the processmore affordable,modem distillation plans recycle heat from the evaporation step.A potentially cheaper technology called membrane desalination may expand the role ofdesalination worldwide,which today accounts fbr less than

46、0.2 percent of the water withdrawnfrom natural sources.Membrane desalination relies on reverse osmosis-a process in which athin,semipermeable membrane is placed between a volume of saltwater and a volume offreshwater.The water on the salty side is highly pressurized to drive water molecules,but not

47、saltand other impurities,to the pure side.In essence,this process pushes freshwater out of saltwater.Most desalination research over the past few years has focused on reverse osmosis,becausethe filters and other components are much smaller than the evaporation chambers used indistillation plants.Rev

48、erse-osmosis plants are also more compact and energy-efficient.Although reverse-osmosis plants can offer energy savings,the earliest membranes,madefrom either polyamide fibers or cellulose acetate sheets,were fragile and had short life spans,often no longer than three years.These materials are highl

49、y susceptible to contaminants in thesource water-particularly chlorine,which hardens the membranes,and microbes,which clogthem.A new generation of so-called thin composite membranes,made from polyamide films,promises to eliminate these problems.Though still susceptible to contamination,these newmemb

50、ranes are sturdier,provide better filtration and may last up to 10 years.Technical performance is important,but it alone does not drive the adoption of desalinationas a source of clean water.With or without technical improvements,the market for desalinationequipment will very likely show healthy gro
