28、.(A)The Matterhorn of Switzerland had been climbed hundreds of times since it was first conquered by Edward Whymper in 1865. He, and the many that followed him over the years, had scaled the mountain by the relatively easy southern approach. The vertical (垂直的) northern face presented a much more fri
29、ghtening challenge. Although some climbers had scaled the north wall, their attempts were made in summer. Experts had predicted that it was unimaginable to make the climb in the winter.Water Bonatti announced that he was going to attempt a winter climb of the near-vertical ice-covered northern face
30、in the February. What was shocking was that he intended to use the more direct route from base to peak without any of the passes made by his pioneers. It seemed a suicidal bid.Covered in a yellow wind-breaker, Bonatti gathered his skills, nerves, strength and vigor against the north face. Slowly and
31、 carefully, his strong but cold-stoned fingers searched for hand-holds. One false move and he would plunge straight down thousands of feet to his death. The higher he went, the more the wind increased its force, striking him with icy power, threatening to dash him onto the rocks below. After two tou
32、gh days, he reached 12,800 feet. At night, he napped in a hammock (吊床) between two steel sticks hammered in the rock face.At first light, he continued ever upward, without a thought of turning back. The cruel, sub-zero temperature cracked his goggles (护目镜) and he struggled half-blinded. Often his ha
33、nds which were bleeding, failed to settle on an opening and he had to make attempts with his instinct. His tiring body was in pain but still climbed up towards the peak.At dawn on the fourth day, he was on the edge of complete exhaustion, but with victory in sight, he prepared himself for the critic
34、al trek. Just after three in the afternoon, excited spectators in the helicopters saw Bonatti suddenly appear crawling over the shining tip of the mountain. He had achieved the impossible and won the world acclaim.65. Why was Bonattis attempt regarded as an impossible task?A. Because no one had clim
35、bed the mountain since the last conquest by Whymper.B. Because the mountain presents the biggest challenge in the world.C. Because no one had reached the peak from the north in cold weather.D. Because the Swiss government forbade people to climb the mountain in severe weather.66. How did he manage t
36、o climb up?A. He used the wind-breaker to locate holes on the north face and climbed up.B. He made his hands fish for openings and relied on them to climb.C. He took advantage of steel hammer to climb up the mountain.D. He borrowed the force from the ice to help him rise.67. The underlined word trek
37、 in the last paragraph is closest in the meaning to _.A. adequate restB. timely communicationC. difficult journeyD. bad weather condition68. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Bonatti used to scale the mountain by the south approach.B. The negative influence from
38、the wind decreased as he climbed up.C. Bonattis success was witnessed by people in the air.D. Bonatti managed to climb the mountain in two days.(B)69.

The social structure is stable because _.A. there are no barriers strictly separating the classesB. economic ability simply decides a persons social classC. the lower classes quickly learn the standards of the upper classesD. the higher class

45、st A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Reasons for SWS quick reaction and economic advantageB. Concerns about the SWS alerting systemC. Opposite stands of the two earthquake warning systemsD. Working principle of CISN and the possible obstacleE. Official attit
46、udes towards the two alerting systemsF. The effect of CISN and its troubling system76.Two different approaches to alerting the public about the earthquakes are competing for the states support, with one, CISN, based on a network of government-operated sensors, and the other, SWS, built around a priv
47、ate companys equipment. In a move that may shed some light for policy makers, the authority has pulled together representatives from both approaches to make recommendations on how to implement an earthquake early warning system. Then again, their distinct views may prove impossible to come to terms.
48、77.The idea behind an earthquake early warning system is to take advantage of the time lag between a quakes initial, relatively mild shockwaves and the later ones that cause all the damage. CISN can detect the first waves a few seconds or more before the severe shaking begins. The challenge, though,
49、 is to determine from the first waves whether its really an earthquake and not a big truck rolling by, and how intense the shaking may be.78.The March 11 quake in Riverside County gave the CISN team the chance to demonstrate the capabilities of its system, which is still in its formative stages. It
50、alerted local government 30 seconds before a stronger wave of the quake, which measured a moderate 4.7 magnitude. By the time the warning went out, however, those waves had already been developing for 12 seconds, extending about 25 miles. Thats not necessarily a problem for earthquakes that start in
51、 a remote stretch of the high desert. But a delay that long for a quake in busy areas would leave millions of people in the warning-free “blind zone.”79.SWS has a collection of sensors in the Coachella Valley, not far from where the March 11 quake struck. The company claimed its alerts went out befo
52、re the more damaging waves had even hit the surface. Its first stations received an alert three to five seconds ahead of the shaking. The companys speed advantage comes from its ability to use two sensors at a single site to calculate a quacks intensity and to make a warning, rather than having to p
53、ool data from sensors at multiple sites. It also says that it can participate in a statewide warning system that would cost far less than what the CISNs backers have advised.80.So whats more to think about SWS proposal? It is said that the government is trying to get some independent proof of the co
54、mpanys claims about its technology. And there are also some worries from the public about granting the essential function of public alert to a private company. People can only imagine the security matters involved.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete
55、 the statements in the fewest possible words.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81.
