18、ng Comprehension (50%)Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Passage One Population tends to grow at an exponential(指数的)rate. This means that they progressively double. As an example of this type of growth rate take one penny and double every day for one month. After the first week, y

19、ou would have only 64 cent, but after the fourth week you would have over a million dollars.

That repents(缓慢进行) a time span o

20、f at least two million years. Then it took from 1830 to 1930 for world population to reach 2 billion. The next billion was added by 1960 only thirty years and in 1975 world population reached 4 billion which is another billion people in only fifteen years. World population is increasing at a rate of

21、 9, 000per hour, 220,000 per day and 80 million per year. This is not only due to higher birth rate, but to lower death rate as well. The number of births has not declined at the same rate as the number of deaths.Some countries such as Columbia, Thailand, Morocco, Costa Rica and the Philippines are

22、doubling their population about every twenty-one years with a growth rate of 3.3 percent a year or more. The United States is doubling its population about very eighty-seven years, with a rate of 0.8 percent per year. （81）Every time a population doubles, the country involved needs twice as much of e

28、 based on the following passage:Passage Two Women are on the whole more verbal than men. They are good at 1anguage and verbal reasoning. while men tend to be skilled at tasks demanding visual-spatial(视空)abilities. In fact, along with aggression these are the most commonly accepted difference between

29、 these sexes. Words are tools for communicating with other people especially information about people. They are mainly social tools. Visual and spatial abilities are good for imagining and manipulating objects and for communicating information about them. Are these talents programmed into the brain?

30、 In some of the newest and most controversial research in neurophysiology(神经生理学), it has been suggested that when it comes to the brain males are specialists while women are generalists. But one knows that, if anything this means in terms of the abilities of the two sexes. Engineering is both Visual

31、 and spatial and its true that there are relatively few women engineers. But women become just as skilled as men at shooting a rifle or driving a car task that involve visual-spatial skills. They also do equally well at programming a computer, which is neither visual nor spatial. Women do, however,

32、seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves. We all know men for whom machines seem to be extensions of their identity. （82）A woman is more likely to see her car, rifle or computer as a useful tool but not in itself fascinating. 46. According to the passage, women are usually good a

33、t_. A. body language B. logical reasoning C. tasks demanding for the use of words D. both A and B 47. The word accepted” in the last sentence of the first paragraph, roughly means_.

35、ving an automobile D. planning and making things as an engineer does 50. Why do women seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves? A. Because they have no visual-spatial skills. B. Because they are only good at 1anguage and verbal reasoning. C. Because they are less likely to see th

36、eir charming or interesting aspects. D. Because they rarely use machines such as cars, rifles, computers, etc. Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Passage Three The US. government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of earthquakes by publishing a map. This map s

37、hows the chances of an earthquake in each part of the country. （83）The areas of the map where earthquakes are most likely to occur are called earthquake “belt”. The government is, spending a great deal money and is working hard to help discover the answer to these two questions: l. Can we predict ea

38、rthquake? 2. Can we control earthquakes? To answer the first question, scientists are looking very closely at the most active fault(断层)systems in the country such as the San Andreas fault in California, a fault is break between two sections of the earths surface. These breaks between sections are th

39、e place where earthquake occurs. Scientists look at the faults for changes that might show that an earthquake was about to occurs. But it will probably be many years before we can predict earthquakes accurately. And the control of earthquakes is even farther away. Nevertheless, there have been some

40、interesting developments in the field of controlling earthquakes. The most interesting development concerns the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes. Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4000 meters below surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection of water, there were a small number of ea

41、rthquakes. Scientists have decided that the water which was injected into rocks works like oil on each other. When the water“oiled”the fault, the fault became slippery and the energy of an earthquake was released. Scientists are still experimenting at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a connection between injection of the water and the earthquake activity. They have suggested that might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big destructive earthquakes, that is, scientists could inject some kind of fluid li
