10、es make an 15 feel unsafe — as if they can’t quite believe their eyes or ears. 二、Reading Comprehension (40%) 20題（每小題2分，共40分） Directions: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A), B

11、), C) and D). You should choose ONE best answer. Then write your answers on the Answer Sheet . Passage 1 The word horsepower(馬力) was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt had made the world’s first widely used steam engine. He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was, for

12、 at that time there were no units for measuring power. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He called that unit one horsepower. With this unit he could measure the work his steam engine could do. He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 1

13、0 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horsepower engine. 16. The selection says that Watt made the first _____. A. steam engine B. w

14、idely used steam engine C. engine D. useful engine 17. Watt wanted to find a way to _____. A. measure the work his engine could do B. tell people how powerful his engine was C. lift a 3300-pound weight D. Both A and B 18. He made up a unit of measurement based on the

16、election is _____. A. Watt’s Engine B. The Origin of the Term Horsepower C. Units of Measurement D. It Happened 200 Years Ago Passage 2 Greenwich is on the River Thames, five miles from the middle of London, and its history is two thousand years old. The first Engli

17、sh people were fishermen there, and they named the place Greenwich, meaning “green village”. Later the English kings and queens lived at Greenwich in their beautiful palaces. The name of the earliest palace was Placentia. Its windows were made of glass — the first in England. Henry VIII lived ther

18、e. He knew that England must be strong at sea. So he started two big ship yards (造船所) at Greenwich, and for 350 years the ships which were made there were the best in the world. But trouble was coming to Greenwich. In 1649, a war started in England and for eleven years there was no king. The men w

19、ho had worked for him at Placentia decided to live in the place themselves. They sold all its beautiful things, and bought small pieces of the palace garden with money. Finally, the war ended and King Charles II came back. But Placentia was falling down. So King Charles built a new and bigger palace

20、, which is now open to the public. At this time, Charles was worried about losing so many of its ships at sea — their sailors did not know how to tell exactly where they were. So in 1675, Charles made John Flamsteed, the first astronomer in England, try to find the answer. Flamsteed worked in a ne

21、w building on the high ground in Greenwich Park. From it, with a telescope which he made himself, Flamsteed could look all round the sky. And he did, night after night, for twenty years. Carrying on Flamsteed’s work a hundred years later, an astronomer called Harrison finally made a clock which told

22、 the time at sea, and helped sailors to know where they were. You can see Harrison’s clock, still working, in Greenwich’s museum of the sea. Because of Flamsteed’s work, every country in the world now tells its time by Greenwich Time. 21. The first English people living in the “green village” we

23、re ________. A. sailors B. fisherman C. King Charles and his family D. the families of kings and queens 22. Placentia was ________ palace in Greenwich. A. the biggest. B. the smallest. C. the earliest. D. the latest. 23. What kind of trouble happened to Greenwich in 1649?

26、mental change in people. Alcohol and tobacco are drugs. The caffeine found in coffee, tea, and some soft drinks is a drug. Drug abuse (濫用) is the use of a drug, legal or illegal, that hurts a person or someone close to him. A drug user is the person who takes the drug. There are many kinds of drug

27、users. There are experimental users. These users take drugs all the time. But they are often able to keep up with the normal routine of work, school, housework, and so on. Dependent users can’t relate to anything but drugs. Their whole life centers around drugs. They feel extreme mental or physical

28、pain when without drugs. All drugs can be harmful. The effect of any drug depends on a lot of things. How a drug acts depends on how much or how often it is taken. It depends on the way it is taken. Some drugs are smoked. Others swallowed or injected. Drugs act differently on different people. The

29、place and the people around you affect the way a drug works. Sometimes people take more than one drug. Multiple drug use is not only common, but also harmful. A deadly example is the use of alcohol and sleeping pills at the same time. Together these drugs can stop normal breathing and lead to death

30、. It is not always easy to tell if someone is using drugs. In the early stages, drug use is often hard to see. Sometimes people like drugs or need drugs so much that they can’t do without them. They are dependent upon drugs. Only a few kinds of drugs, like narcotics (麻醉劑), can cause physical depend

31、ence. But almost any drug, when it is misused, can make a person think he needs it all the time. By this time it is too late and the person is “hooked”. Tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana (大麻) are three common drugs. These three are called the “gateway drugs”. They are the first ones most people use a

32、nd become dependent on. 26. The term “drugs” in the passage refers to ________. A. a medicine B. a chemical C. narcotics D. alcohol 27. How many kinds of drug users are named in the second paragraph? A. Numerous. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 28. The writer makes this passage clear by

34、 to make people aware of something about drugs. C. The use of drugs should be made illegal. D. Most people are dependent on drugs. Passage 4 Until the twentieth century cigarettes smoking was not a widespread habit. The cigarette industry started in the 1870’s with the development of the cigar

35、ette manufacturing machines. It helped produce great numbers of cigarettes very quickly and reduced the price greatly. And consequently more and more people, both men and women, began to smoke cigarettes. Men as a group, however, smoke more than women. But the highest proportion of smokers is found

36、in the age group of 24 - 44, regardless of sex difference. Income, education, and occupation all play a part in determining a person’s smoking habits. City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer yea

37、rs of schooling and lower incomes. 0n the other hand, if a well-educated man with a higher income smokes at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day. The situation is somewhat different for women. There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family incomes and higher e

38、ducation than among the lower income and lower education groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily. Among teenagers the picture is similar. There are fewer teenaged smokers from upper-income, well-educated families, and fewer from families living in farm areas- High school

39、 students who are preparing for college are less likely to smoke than those who do not plan to continue their education after high school.
