  Nobody Had Believed It Was Possible

  In 1912, the Titanic hit an iceberg on its first trip across the Atlantic, and it sank four hours later. It was carrying 2207 people, but it had taken on enough lifeboats for only 1178 people. When the passengers tried to leave the ship, only 651 of them were able to et into lifeboats and 1502 people lost their lives.

  Throughout the whole tragedy, the California was only ten miles away. Its officers were close enough to see the Titanic, but they did not understand the situation. They never received the Titanic’s call for help, and they did not come to the rescue until too late.

  First of all, nobody had prepared for such a tragedy. Nobody had believed that the Titanic could sink. The steamship company had thought that its ship would be completely safe in all situations. They followed an old rule for the number of lifeboats, so they had supplied lifeboats for only half the people. And the passengers had not practiced lifeboat drills before the accident and they did not believe they were in danger.

  The ship had already received six ice warnings on its radio when it struck the iceberg. But it had not changed its direction or its speed. It was impossible to change direction quickly enough when the iceberg came in sight. When the Titanic hit the iceberg, the radio officer on the California had just gone to bed. He had tried to warn the officers on the Titanic about the ice before he went to bed, but the officers had not listened.

  After this accident, ocean travel change. Now there are always enough lifeboats for everybody. Ships do not go so far north in winter, and they watch carefully for ice. Radio officers work 24 hours a day. A tragedy like the sinking of the Titanic should never happen again.

  (1).Over 1,000 passengers were able to escape in lifeboats from the sinking Titanic.

  A. Right

  B. Wrong

  C. Not mentioned

  (2).Throughout the whole tragedy, the California didn’t received the Titanic’s call for help.

  A. Right

  B. Wrong

  C. Not mentioned

  (3).The Titanic has 1,178 lifeboats for 2,207 people, but 1,502 people lost their lives because many people did not know how to get into their lifeboats.

  A. Right

  B. Wrong

  C. Not mentioned

  (4).The California didn’t come in time to save the passengers on the Titanic because its officers were not clear about what was happening on the Titanic.

  A. Right

  B. Wrong

  C. Not mentioned

  (5).The ship might not have sunk if its radio officer had listened to the warning from the California.

  A. Right

  B. Wrong

  C. Not mentioned

  (6).After the accident, ships are not allowed to travel into the north in winter to ensure safe ocean travel.

  B. Wrong

  C. Not mentioned

  Keeping Cut Flowers

  While everybody enjoys fresh cut flowers around his house, few people know how to keep them for as long as possible. This may be done by keeping in mind a few simple facts.

  An important thing to remember about cut flowers is that they are sensitive to temperature. For example, studies have shown that cut carnations(康乃馨) retain their freshness eight times longer when kept at 12oC than when kept at 260c. Keeping freshly harvested flowers at the right temperatures is probably the most important aspect of flower care.

  Flowers are not intended by nature to live very long. Their biological purpose is simply to attract birds or insects, such as bees, for pollination (授粉). After that, they quickly dry up and die. The process by which flowers consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide (二氧化碳), called respiration (呼吸), generates the energy the flower needs to give the flower its shape and colour. The making of seeds also depends on this energy. While all living things respire, flowers have a high level of respiration. A result of all this respiration is heat, and for flowers the level of heat relative to the mass of the flower is very high. Respiration also brings about the eventual death of the flower. Thus the greater the level of respiration, the sooner the flower dies.

  How, then, to control the rate at which flowers die? By controlling respiration. How is respiration controlled? By controlling temperature. We know that respiration produces heat, but the reverse is also true. Thus by maintaining low temperatures, respiration is reduced and the cut flower will age more slowly.

  Another vital factor in keeping cut flowers is the quality of the water in which they are placed. Flowers find it difficult to “drink” water that is dirty or otherwise polluted. Even when water looks and smells clean, it almost certainly contains harmful substances that can endanger the flowers. To rid the water of these unwanted substances, household chlorine bleach (含氯漂白剂) can be used in small quantities. It is recommended that 15 drops of chlorine bleach(at 4% solution) be added to each litre of water. The water and solution should also be replaced each day.

  A. Control of Respiration

  B. Beauty of Fresh Cut Flowers

  C. Role of Respiration

  D. Most Important Aspect of Flower Care

  E. Need for Clean Water

  F. Ways of Stopping Respiration

  Healthful Living

  Good posture is an indication of good health. It also adds to a body’s vitality and beauty. The body is not handsome when the back is bent and the neck thrusts forwards. Bad posture creates the impression that a person is tired, lacking in energy, bored, or weak. Fatigue may sometimes be the cause of bad posture. Most often, however, it is due to carelessness and poor health habits. Whatever its cause, bad posture affects one physically. The muscles are stretched and pulled into unnatural positions, which can lead to poor functioning of the body’s various systems.

  Nutrition is the study of how the body takes food and uses it. This science provides information about the kinds of food a person must eat to promote and maintain good health. Such knowledge helps him develop and apply proper nutritional habits to his problems of healthful living. Proper habits of nutrition can be developed by paying attention to: (1) the variety of foods included in the diet; and (2) the quantity of each kind of food eaten. A diet, or the food regularly eaten, must contain all the nutritional elements.

  Many physicians believe that overweight is one of the greatest dangers to good health. This condition often leads to a shorter lifespan. An overweight person is also more apt to suffer from diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease and various disorders of the digestive system. A person’s weight is directly related to the amount of food he eats.

  Declining Interest in Developing Foreign Language Skills

  Australias foreign language skills are declining, Voice of America has reported. New figures show that only 13 percent of high school graduates can speak a foreign language. But four decades ago, 40 percent had foreign language skills.

  Professor Elise Tipton, from the University of Sydney, says increasingly students do not feel the need to learn another language to boost their career. She believes that Australias economic boom, which is driven by red-hot demand for its minerals, is helping mask serious deficiencies in its language skills.

  Australia does business very successfully in English with most of its trading partners. But as the worlds economic power shifts to emerging regions such as Asia, its language gap could soon be exposed. According to the new figures, less than 6.5 percent of high school graduates are proficient in an Asian language. Academics worry that this means Australia will increasingly be isolated from its economically important Asian neighbors. Dilip Dutta, from the economics and business faculty at Sydney University, says language skills can enhance trading opportunities. If Australians want to trade with Asian countries, it is very important for them to learn the language that will help them to get closer to the culture.

  But students have different opinions about Asian language learning. Pippa McCowage, a 22-year-old Australian student, says many young Australians have a half-hearted approach to foreign languages3, and the language curriculum is often weak. "While were encouraged in high school to learn another language, its not really apparent to me as a realistic expectation that you will have to speak it," said McCowage. "For example, I learned Japanese in high school, when I went on an exchange in Year 10, I found that the Japanese students of my age had a much greater proficiency in English than I did in Japanese. So in that sense, it almost discourages you.

  At present, about 70 percent of Australias major exports go to Asia and the Australian government has been keen on developing closer economic and diplomatic ties with Asia. Academics say that, as Asia becomes one of the worlds economic powerhouses, Australia needs to improve its language skills if it is to take full advantage of the business opportunities on its doorstep.

  (1).How much percent of high school graduates were proficient in foreign languages forty years ago?

  A. 70.

  B. 13.

  C. 40.

  D. 6.5.

  (2). What can be inferred from paragraph 2?

  A. Australia has rich deposits of minerals.

  B. Australia is essentially a self-sufficient country.

  C. Australia has no intention to trade with Asian countries.

  D. Australian students are not required to learn a foreign language.

  (3).What does Dilip Dutta think language skills can do?

  A. Improve your relation with your partner.

  B. Help settle international conflicts.

  C. Remove barriers in negotiations.

  D.Increase trading opportunities.

  (4).Why has the Australian government been keenly interested in strengthening ties with Asia?

  A. Because Asia is where Australia is located.

  B. Because Asia is where Australias major exports go.

  C. Because Asia is where Australians go and spend their holidays.

  D. Because Asia is where Australia can play a big role in international affairs.

  (5).The word faculty in paragraph 3 can be replaced by

  A. college.

  B. institute.

  C. university.

  D. department.

  Memory

  It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions, the basis for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory.

  Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It includes not only “ remembering” things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involves any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile.

  Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for late use. It is interesting to compare the memory storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 “words”--- strings of alphabetic or numerical characters---ready for instant use. An average U.S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of information which the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight.

  The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings. A large part of a person’s memory is in terms of words and combinations of words. But while language greatly expands the number and kind of things a person can remember, it also requires a huge memory capacity. It may well be this capacity that distinguishes humans, setting them apart from other animals.

  (1).What do the sentences at the beginning of the passage suggest?

  A. Memory is useful.

  B. Memory is important.

  C. There is a relationship between memory and habits.

  D. The past is connected with the present by memory.

  (2). According to the passage, memory is helpful in our daily life in the following aspects except

  A. involving the change in the behavior.

  B. keeping information for later use.

  C. warning people not to do things repeatedly.

  D. remembering events that happened in history.

  (3). With respect to the memory storage capacity, what is the author’s idea about the comparison between human beings and computers?

  A. Computers have no memory at all.

  B. Computers are more powerful than adults.

  C. Teenagers are inferior to computers.

  D. Human beings are far superior to computers.

  (4). What is the major characteristic of a human being’s memory capacity according to the text?

  A. It can be expanded by language.

  B. It can remember all the combined words.

  C. It may keep all the information in the past.

  D. It may change what has been stored in it.

  (5).According to the passage, human beings make themselves different from other animals by

  A. having the ability to realize danger

  B. having a special memory capacity

  C. having a distinguished memory capacity

  D. having the ability to control himself
