31、s a born train fan. Ive liked trains probably from the day I was born, he told Good Morning America. When I was very little, he said, my grandpa got me a train model. I would just watch it go round for hours and hours.When Robertson finally had the opportunity to ride on a train, he felt great. His
32、journey was so mind-blowing that he couldnt keep it to himself: he decided to take all his classmates to go on a ride with him. When he found that some of his classmates couldnt pay the fare, he collected cans (罐子) and bottles and raised more than $1,000 for them. That trip was such a happy one that
33、 he made it a yearly action. It never gets boring for some reason; its just fun, he said. It really lets people get away from their busy life and have fun.Every October, Robertson takes a new group of children to ride on the train but now, he has a problem. Several disabled children were refused bec
34、ause the train was not accessible (可用的) to disabled people. He was angry to think that children of his own age couldnt ride a train, his mother said.But he wouldnt say no: he recently sent a letter to the train office for help. To his surprise, the leader, Ty Pennington, accepted the letter in perso
35、n. He said that he and his workers would work on making a train accessible to disabled people. 61. The first time John Thomas Robertson took a train, _. A. he was frightened by it B. he acted as a driverC. he watched it for hours D. he fell in love with it62. The author says John Thomas Robertson is
36、 a born train fan, because he _. A. was greatly attracted to trains since early childhood B. said so in Good Morning AmericaC. took a group of disabled children to travel by trainD. was taken to a train the day he was born63. The underlined words mind-blowing can be replaced by _. A. important B. te
37、rrible C. amazing D. disappointing 64. The disabled children were refused to get on the train because _. A. the trains then werent accessible to the disabledB. Robertson had not saved enough money for the ticketsC. they couldnt afford the train tickets D. the driver would not allow them to do so 65.
38、 According to the last paragraph, we can see that Robertson is a _ child. A. helpful and crazy B. kind and clever C. kind but boring D. lazy but kindCMost earthquakes occur within the upper 15 miles of the earths surface, but earthquakes can and do occur at all depths to about 460 miles. Their numbe
39、r decreases as the depth increases. At about 460 miles one earthquake occurs only every few years. Near the surface earthquakes may run as high as 100 in a month, but the yearly average does not vary much. The extent of the disaster in an earthquake depends on many factors. If you carefully build a
40、toy house with an erect set (坚立架), it will still stand no matter how much you shake the table. But if you build a toy house with a pack of cards, a slight shake of the table will make it fall. An earthquake in Agadir was not strong, but it completely destroyed the city. Many stronger earthquakes hav
41、e done comparatively little damage. If a building is well constructed and built on solid ground, it will resist an earthquake. Most deaths in earthquakes have been due to faulty building construction or poor building sites. A third and very serious factor is panic. When people rush out into narrow s
42、treets, more deaths will result. There is one type of earthquake disaster that little can be done about. This is the disaster caused by seismic (地震的) sea waves, or tsunamis (海啸). These are often called tidal waves, but the name is incorrect. They had nothing to do with tides. In certain areas, earth
43、quakes take place beneath the sea. These submarine earthquakes sometimes give rise to seismic sea waves. The waves are not noticeable out at sea because of their long wave length. But when they roll into harbors, they pile up into walls of water 6 to 60 feet high. The Japanese call them “tsunamis” m
44、eaning “harbor waves”, because they reach a sizable (相当大的) height only in harbors. Tsunamis travel fairly slowly, at speeds up to 500 miles an hour. An earthquake warning system is in use to warn all shores likely to be reached by the waves. But this only enables people to leave the threatened shore
45、s for higher ground: There is no way to stop the oncoming wave. 66. Which of the following can NOT be concluded from the passage?A. The number of earthquakes is closely related to the depth. B. Roughly the same number of earthquakes occur each year. C. Earthquakes are impossible at depths over 460 m
46、iles. D. Earthquakes are most likely to occur near the surface.67. The destruction of Agadir is an example of .A. faulty building construction B. an earthquakes strength C. widespread panic in earthquakes D. ineffective instruments 68. According to the passage, the waves caused by submarine earthqua
47、kes are not noticeable out at sea because of .A. their high speed B. the wide shoresC. their silent movements D. their long wave length 69. The significance of the slow speed of tsunamis is that people may .A. help reduce fear B. find ways to stop them C. be warned early enough D. develop warning sy
48、stems 70. According to the passage, the number of factors that may determine the extent of the disaster in an earthquake is .A. two B. fiveC. four D. three DEverybody is happy as his pay rises. Yet pleasure at your own can disappear if you learn that a fellow worker has been given a bigger one. Inde
49、ed, if he is known as being lazy, you might even be quite cross. Such behavior is regarded as “all too human”, with the underlying belief that other animals would not be able to have this finely developed sense of sadness. But a study by Sarah Brosnan of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which h
50、as just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.The researchers studied the behaviors of some kind of female brown monkeys. They look smart. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food happily. Above all, like female human beings, they tend
51、to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males.Such characteristics make them perfect subjects for Doctor Brosnans study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens (奖券) for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces
52、of rock for pieces of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in separate and connected rooms, so that each other could observe what the other is getting in return for its rock, they became quite different.In the world of monkeys，grapes are excellent goods (and much preferable to cucumbers).
53、 So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was not willing to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either shook her own token at the researcher, or refused to accep
54、t the cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other room (without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to bring about dissatisfaction in a female monkey. The researches suggest that these monkeys, like humans, are guided by social senses. In the wild, they are co-operative and group-
55、living. Such co-operation is likely to be firm only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of anger when unfairly treated, it seems, are not the nature of human beings alone. Refusing a smaller reward completely makes these feelings clear to other animals of the group. However, whe
56、ther such a sense of fairness developed independently in monkeys and humans, or whether it comes from the common roots that they had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question. 71. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Only monkeys and humans can have t
57、he sense of fairness in the world.B. In the wild, monkeys are never unhappy to share their food with each other. C. Women will show more dissatisfaction than men when unfairly treated.D. Monkeys can exchange cucumbers for grapes, for grapes are more attractive.72. The underlined statement “it is all
58、 too monkey” means that _.A. monkeys are also angry with lazy fellowsB. monkeys, like humans, tend to be envious of each otherC. no animals other than monkeys can develop such feelingsD. feeling angry at unfairness is also monkeys nature 73. Female monkeys of this kind are chosen for the research mo
59、st probably because they are _.A. more likely to pay attention to the value of what they get B. attentive to researchers instructionsC. nice in both appearance and behaviors D. more ready to help others than their male companions74. We can learn _according to the passage?A. Human beings feelings of
60、anger are developed from the monkeys. B. Cooperation between monkeys stays firm before the realization of being cheated.C. In the research, male monkeys are less likely to exchange food with others.D. Only monkeys and humans have the sense of fairness dating back to 35 million years ago.75. What can
61、 we infer about the monkeys in Sarahs study?A. The monkeys can be trained to develop social senses.B. The monkeys may show their satisfaction with equal treatment.C. They usually show their feelings openly as humans do.D. Cooperation among the monkeys remains effective in the wild. 第三部分 写作第一节： 阅读下面短
