14、an beings. The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and so
15、unds made by animals themselves. Decibels (分贝) measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninetyfive would have the same effect. Some scientists have suggested
16、 setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in the oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales（鲸鱼）. A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals. The research team found that powerful

22、he USA is a land of immigrants. Between 1815 and 1914, the world witnessed the greatest peaceful migration in its history: 35 million people, mostly Europeans, left their homelands to start new lives in America. Why did these people risk everything by leaving their homes and families?First, what for
23、ced emigrants to make the decision to leave? One major cause for European farmers to leave was the rise in population which in turn led to land hunger. Another was politics. There was an increased taxation（税收） and the growth of armies, and many young men fled eastern Europe to avoid being forced to
24、join the army.Physical hunger provided another pressing reason. Following the collapse （衰退）of the economy of southern Italy in the 1860s, hundreds of thousands decided to start a new life in America. Religion also encouraged millions to leave the Old World.In short, people chose to leave their homes
25、 for social, economic and religious reasons. As a result, by 1890 among a total population of 63 million, there were more than nine million foreign-born Americans.But what were the attractions? First of all, there was the promise of land which was so scarce in Europe. Next, factories were calling fo
26、r workers, and pay conditions were much better than back home. Men were needed to open up the West and build the long railroads, and new towns needed settlers to live in and to develop business. There was the space for religious people to practice their faith in peace.This immigration meant that by
27、around the 1850s Americans of non-English had started to be more than those of English. As we know, there were losers. To start with, there were those unwilling immigrants, the slaves who had been used as a source of cheap labour. Nor should we forget the equally unlucky American Indians. By 1860 th
28、ere were 27 million free whites, four million slaves and a mere 488,000 free blacks.Nowadays, the USA is still seen by millions as the Promised Land. As always, it remains an attractive place to those who think it will offer them a second chance.31. What is not the cause for people to leave their ho
29、meland? A. The search for religious freedom. B. The search for adventure. C. Unwillingness to join the army. D. Economics.32. Why was life of the 19th Century European farmers difficult?A. There was no land.B. There was no peace.C. The population had gone down.D. There were too many of them.33. Whic
30、h of the following was not an attraction of the USA?A. Employment B. A healthy life C. freedom of religion D. Business opportunities34. What is the topic of this passage? A. The USA is still seen by millions as the Promised Land. B. The USA is a land of immigrants. C. Religion encouraged millions to

32、longed to travel abroad.

33、 We planned to travel to Belgium, Netherlands and West Germany.I have clear memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad. I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand, during the fligh
34、t to Frankfurt. We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew （工作人员）. The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable, even for someone like me, who is especially afraid of flying.After spending almost two weeks in Europe, we took the Lufthans
35、a airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport, for our return flight. What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (莱茵河), it was simply an unforgettable experience. I had a sombre feeling on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation, but the Lufthansa crew membe
36、rs were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again, with the quality of their service.Being the first airline to take me abroad, Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart. Even today，I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other
37、 airline. Flying, in general，for me，has always been a terrible and painful experienceFlying on Lufthansa，however, is something I always have and always will look forward to. 36.

Dave Murbach needs 11 months.Almost every day of every year, Murbachs thoughts turn to vision of a perfectly shape
41、d evergreen tree that will take everyones breath away. Murbach is the man responsible for finding the towering tree that makes more attractive Manhattans Rockefeller Center each Christmas season. “Im always looking for a tree,” the centers chief gardener says. “I look for it even when I go to the be
42、ach in the summer. It s like a homework assignment hanging over your head.” And if he gets it wrong, theres nothing hiding it. “Every day its up, 400,000 people go by, and 2.5 million people watch the lighting celebration on television,”he says. This years tree, a 74-foot Nomy spruce (云杉) from Richf
43、ield, Ohio, flown to New York on the worlds largest cargo plane, was lighted on December 2. The arrival of the tree leads in the Christmas season in New York a tradition dating back to 1931, when the workers building Rockefeller Center put up a small tree with ornaments (装饰品). The search for the nex
44、t years tree starts soon after the old tree is chopped up for wood chips and horse-jumping logs. Murbach has three standards: The tree must be at least 65 feet high, at least 35 feet across and leaves dense (密集的) enough not to see through. Thats not as simple as it sounds. Though forests are full of
45、 evergreens, few get enough sunlight or space to fill out. And branches in snow regions often break under the weight, making trees unbalanced. Back at the office, he sorts through hundreds of letters from people offering their trees, many addressed simply to “Mr. Christmas Tree Man.”Though there was
46、 occasional anxiety attack and sleepless night, Murbach knows the effect the tree has on people: “Its for bringing people together, attempting to bring together people you love. Thats what I hope it sets off.” But Murbach says hes always too worn out to celebrate Christmas.41. Which is the correct o
