25、n. Although the power stations themselves are strongly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are not, Normally, only two methods of transport are in use, namely road or rail, Unfortunately both of these may have heavily populated areas. Second, there is the problem of waste.
26、All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these wastes non-radioactive, and they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented, For example, they may be buried under the ground,
27、 or dropped into deserted mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily break the containers. Third, there may occur the danger of a leak(漏) or an explosion at the power station. As with the other two dangers, this is not very likely, so
28、 it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program. However, it can happen. Separately, these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry. Taken together, though, the probability of disaster (灾难) is extremely high.56. Which of the following is FALSE?A. It is possible that a l
29、eak or an explosion occur at a power stationB. It is unusual for radioactive materials to be transported across land. C. The containers are likely to be broken by an earthquake. D. Nuclear wastes remain dangerous in most cases for many years.57. The author thinks that the ways to store nuclear waste
30、s are_. A. easy B. impossible C. reasonable D. ineffective58. What do we learn from the last paragraph?A. The power station is a safe place. B. The dangers of nuclear energy can be prevented. C. The general public are strongly against the nuclear program.来源:学_科_网 D. By itself, none of the three dang
31、ers is very likely to cause much worry.59. What is this passage about? A. Uses of nuclear power B. Dangers from nuclear power. C. Public anger at nuclear power . D. Accidents caused by nuclear power.B Most people think of a camel as an obedient beast of burden, because it is best known for its abili
32、ty to carry heavy loads across vast stretches of desert without requiring water. In reality, the camel is considerably more than just the Arabian equivalent of mule . It also possesses a great amount of intelligence and sensitivity. The Arabs say that camels are so acutely aware of injustice and ill
33、-treatment that a camel owner who punishes one of the beasts too hard finds it difficult to escape the camels revenge(报仇).Apparently, the animal will remember an injury and wait for an opportunity to get revenge. In order to protect themselves from the vengeful(报仇的)beasts, Arabian camel drivers have
34、 learned to trick their camels into believing they have achieved revenge. When an Arab realizes that he has excited a camels rage, he places his own garments on the ground in the animals path. He arranges the clothing so that it appears to cover a mans body. When the camel recognizes its masters clo
35、thing on the ground, it seizes the pile with its teeth, shakes the garments angrily and steps on them in a rage again and again. In the end, after its rage has died away, the camel leaves, believing its revenge is completed. Only then does the owner of the garments comes out of hiding, safe for the
36、time being, thanks to this clever trick.60. Which of the following are mentioned in this passage?A The camel never drinks water B The camel is always violentC The camel is always sensitive D The camel is not used any more61. From this passage we can conclude that A. camels are usually kind to their
37、owners B. camels are generally as stupid and sensitive as a muleC. camels dont see very well D. camels try to punish people who ill-treated them 62. The writer makes the camels vengeful behavior clear to the readers by presenting_ A. a well-planed argument B. a large variety of examples C. some eyew
38、itness accounts D. a typical incident63. which of the following is true?A. A man who punishes a camel harshly(苛刻地) has to play a trick on itB. A camel is very cleverC. A camel is very dangerous to its ownerD. The camel tramples the garments violently in the face of the owner of the garments. CAmeric
39、ans are proud of their variety and individuality (个性), yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of a lift operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States? Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is
40、 that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian (百姓的) clothes. People have become conditioned to expect higher quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform is likely to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Fai
41、th in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a hairdresser, or a waiter to lose professional identity (职业身份) than to step out of uniform? Uniforms also have many practical good points. They are often more comfortable and more last
42、ing than civilian clothes. Primary among the argument against uniforms is their lack of variety and the loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirem
43、ent. When people look alike, they are likely to think, speak, and act similarly on the job at least. Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintai
44、n, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes. 64. What surprises us is that Americans _. A. still judge a man by his clothes B. think highly of uniforms C. less prefer wearing civilian clothes D. respect a lift operator in unifor
45、m 65. People are likely to think that a man in uniform _. A. suggests quality work B. shows his social position C. appears to be more practical D. looks more fresh and attractive 66. Those who are against uniforms believe that people wearing uniforms _. A. are usually helpful B. have little freedom
46、C. lose personal character D. enjoy greater popularity 67. It can be concluded from the passage that _. A. people generally trust a person in uniform B. people enjoy wearing comfortable uniform C. the cost of the uniform is acceptable to people D. people wear uniforms to show their professions 68. T
47、he underlined sentence tells us that _. A. its impossible for people with jobs to lose their identity B. peoples identity can be recognized more easily by their uniformsC. nurses and policemen must wear uniforms when workingD. people in those professions act in an easier way without uniforms DTop li
48、sts are lecturing people on everything from 100 places to visit to 100 books to read. Arent you just tired of being told what to do with your time?Now you have a list to end all lists!Take a look at the following two examples from the list of 101 things not to do:Swim with Dolphins(海豚)? Swimming wit
49、h dolphins is one of the worlds most profitable tourist activities. However, not every dolphin will welcome having their busy ,tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming and pushing around them in the water. Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists, they could get ca
50、ught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨).Heres a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually theyre just opening their mouths.Go to See the Mona Lisa?There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的)smile. The 6 million people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year cant
51、 all be wrong, after all. But they can be quite annoying, standing in front of you, holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything. In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists
52、 can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldnt just be smiling, shed be laughing.So, still long to see the Mona Lisa?

A. thinks it boring to do the things suggested by other lists B. believes other lists are not humorous enough C. intends to persuade people to read more lists D. wants to provide a list different from other listsE Farmer Ed Rawlings smiles as he looks at his orange trees. The young oranges
56、are growing well in Floridas weather. Warm sunshine and gentle rains, along with Ed Rawlings expert care, will produce a good crop of oranges this year. But Ed has to fight against Floridas changeable winter weather. In January and February, temperatures can destroy Eds entire orange crop. Having fa
57、rmed in Florida for the past 35 years, Ed Rawlings is prepared for the frosts(霜). When temperatures drop below freezing, Ed tries to save his crop by watering his orange trees. The water freezes and forms a thin layer(层) of ice on the trees. Strange as it may sound, this thin layer of ice actually k
58、eeps the fruit warm. What happens is simple. When the trees are watered, the water loses heat and becomes ice. The warmth of the heat it loses is sucked in by the fruit and keeps its temperature at a safe level. Ed Rawlings has effectively used this method(方法)to save many orange crops. But Ed still
59、faces some difficulties. The trees should be watered at the exact moment the temperature drops to the freezing point. Also, just the right quantity of water must be used. Too much water can form a thick layer of ice that will break the trees branches. Another difficulty is that wind blows away the h
60、eat. So Ed has to worry about not only when but also how often his trees should be watered and how much water should be used. Computer technology may help Ed Rawlings with some of these worries. With equipment, air and soil temperatures and wind speed can be measured. The computer can correctly deci
61、de the quantity of water to be used and how frequently the trees should be watered. Ed Rawlings will find looking after his orange trees a lot easier with the help of a computer, and well all have the benefits (or advantages) of computer age orange.72The passage is mainly about.A. a farmers expert c
