Moderate Earthquake Strikes England

A moderate earthquake struck parts of southeast England on 28 April 2007,

toppling chimneys from houses and rousing residents from their beds. Several thousand people were left without power in Kent County. One woman suffered minor head and neck injuries.

“Its felt as if the whole house was being slid across like a fun-fair ride,” said the woman.

The British Geological Survey said the 4.3-magnitude quake struck at 8:19 a.m. and was centered under the English Channel, about 8.5 miles south of Dover and near the entrance to the Channel Tunnel.

Witnesses said cracks appeared in walls and chimneys collapsed across the county. Residents said the tremor had lasted for about 10 to 15 seconds.

“I was lying in bed and it felt as if someone had just got up from bed next to me,” said Hendrick van Eck, 27, of Canterbury about 60 miles south of London. “I then heard the sound of cracking, and it was getting heavier and heavier. It felt as if

2

someone was at the end of my bed hopping up and down.”

There are thousands of moderate quakes on this scale around the world each year, but they are rare in Britain.The April 28 quake was the strongest in Britain since 2002 when a 4.8-magnitude quake struck the central England city of Birmingham.

The country’s strongest earthquake took place in the North Sea in 1931, measuring 6.1 on the Ritcher scale. British Geological Survey scientist Roger Musson said that the quake tool place on 28 April in an area that had been several of the biggest earthquake ever to strike Britain, including one in 1580 that caused damage in London and was felt in France. Musson predicted that it was only a matter of time before another quake struck this part of England. However, people should not be scared too much by this prediction, Musson said, as the modern earthquake warning system of Britain should be able to detect a forthcoming quake and announce it several hours before it takes place. This would allow time for people to evacuate and reduce the damage to the minimum. 题目

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

17. The Channel Tunnel was closed for 10 hours after the earthquake occurred.

How We Form First Impression

1 We all have first impression of someone we just met. But why? Why do we form an opinion about someone without really knowing anything about him or her —— aside perhaps from a few remarks or readily observable traits?

2 The answer is related to how your brain allows you to be aware of the world. Your brain is so sensitive in picking up facial traits, even very minor differences in how a person’s eyes, ears, nose or mouth are placed in relation to each other makes you see him or her as different. In fact, your brain continuously processes incoming sensory information —— the sights and sounds of the world. These incoming “signals” are compared against a host of “memories” stored in the brain areas called the cortex system to determine what these signals “mean”.

3 If you see someone you know and like at school, your brain says “familiar and safe.” If you see someone new, it says, “new-potentially threatening”. Then your brain starts to match features of this stranger with other “known” memories. The height, weight, dress, ethnicity, gestures, and tones of voice are all matched up. The more familiar the characteristics, the more your brain may say, “This is new. I don’t like this person.” Or else, “I’m intrigued.” Or your brain might perceive a new face but familiar clothes, ethinicity, gestures —— like your other friends; so your brain says:

4

“I like this person.” But these preliminary “impressions” can be dead wrong. 4 When we stereotype people, we use a less mature form of thinking (not unlike the immature thinking of a very young child) that makes simplistic and categorical impressions of others. Rather than learn about the depth and breadth of people —— their history, interest, values, strengths, and true character —— we categorize them as jocks, geeks, or freaks.

5 However, if we resist initial stereotypical impressions, we have a chance to be aware of what a person is truly like. If we spend time with a person, hear about his or her life, hopes, dreams, and become aware of the person’s character, we use a different, more mature style of thinking —— and the most complext areas of our cortex, which allow us to be humane. 题目

23. Paragraph 2 _________ 24. Paragraph 3 _________ 25. Paragraph 4 _________ 26. Paragraph 5 _________ A. Ways of departure from Immature and Simplistic Impressions B. Comment on First Impressions C. Illustrations of First Impressions D. Comparing Incoming Sensory Information Against Memories E. Threatening Aspects of First Impressions F. Differences Among Jocks, Geeks, and Freaks

最佳选项。 第一篇

Making Light of Sleep

All we have a clock located inside our brains. Similar to your bedside alarm clock,

your internal clock runs on a 24-hour cycle. This cycle, called a circadian rhythm, helps to control when you wake, when you eat and when you sleep.

Somewhere around puberty, something happens in the timing of the biological

clock. The clock pushes forward, so adolescents and teenagers are unable to fall asleep as early as they used to. When your mother tells you it’s time for bed, your body may be pushing you to stay up for several hours more. And the light coming from your computer screen or TV could be pushing you even later.

This shift is natural for teenagers. But staying up very late and sleeping late can

get your body’s clock out of sync with the cycle of light and dark. It can also make it hard to get out of bed in the morning and may bring other problems, too. Teenagers are put in a kind of a gray cloud when they don’t get enough sleep, says May Carskadon, a sleep researcher at Brown University in Providence, RI. It affects their mood and their ability to think and learn.

But just like your alarm o’clock, your internal clock can be reset. In fact, it

automatically resets itself every day. How? BY using the light it gets through your eyes.

Scientists have known for a long time that the light of day and the dark of night

plays important roles in setting our internal clocks. For years, researchers thought that the signals that synchronize the body’s clock were handled through the same pathways that we use to see.

But recent discoveries show that the human eye has two separate light-sensing

systems. One system allows us to see. The second system tells our body whether it’s day or night.

31. The clock located inside our brain is similar to our bedside alarm o’clock because ______________.

6

A. it controls when we wake, when you eat and when you sleep. B. it has a cycle of 24 hours.

C. it ahs a cycle called a circadian rhythm D. it can alarm any time during 24 hours

32. What is implied in the second paragraph?

A. Young children’s biological clock has the same rhythm with that of the teenagers. B. People after puberty begin to go to bed earlier due to the change of the biological clock.

C. Children before puberty tend to fall asleep earlier at night than adolescents. D. Teenagers go to bed later than they used to due to the light from the computer screen.

33. In the third paragraph, the author wants to tell the reader that _________. A. it is natural for teenagers to stay up late and get up late

B. staying up late has a bad effect on teenagers’ ability to think and learn C. during puberty most teenagers experience a kind of gray cloud D. it is hard for teenagers to get out of bed in the morning

34. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the fourth and fifth paragraphs?

A. Our biological clock resets itself automatically.

B. Light gets through our eyes and resets our biological clock.

C. Our internal clock as well as the alarm clock can be reset automatically. D. Our internal clock, like the alarm clock, can be reset.

35. According to the last two paragraphs, what did the previous researchers think about the human eye’s light-sensing system? A. The human eye had two light-sensing systems. B. The human eye had one light-sensing system.

7

C. The human eye could sense the light of day more quickly than the dark of night. D. The human eye could reset our internal clocks in accordance with the alarm clock. 第二篇

Motoring Technology

1.2 million road deaths worldwide occur each year, plus a further 50 million injuries. To reduce car crash rate, much research now is focused on safety and new fuels-though some electric vehicle and biofuel research aims at going faster. Traveling at speed has always been dangerous. One advanced area of research in motoring safety is the use of digital in-car assistants. They can ensure you don't miss important road signs or fall asleep. Most crashes result from human and not mechanical faults.

Some safety developments aim to improve your vision. Radar can spot obstacles in fog, while other technology “sees through” big vehicles blocking your view. And improvements to seat belts, pedal（脚踏）controls and tyres are making driving smoother and safer. The color of a car has been found to be linked with safety, as have, less surprisingly, size and shape.

But whatever is in the fuel tank, you don't want a thief in the driving seat and there have been many innovations（创新）.Satellite tracking and remote communications can also come into play if you crash, automatically calling for help. Accidents cause many traffic jams, but there are more subtle interplays between vehicles that can cause jams even on a clear but busy road. Such jams can be analyzed using statistical tools. Robotic drivers could be programmed to make traffic flow smoothly and will perhaps one day be everyone’s personal chauffeur（司机）,but their latest efforts suggest that won't be soon.

36.To reduce car crash rate, many scientists are working hard to A. design fully automatic cars. B. develop faster electric vehicles.

C. analyze road deaths occurring worldwide each year. D. improve the safety of cars and develop new fuels.

37. According to the second paragraph, most road accidents happen due to A. heavy traffic. B. human mistakes. C. engine failure. D. bad weather.

38. Which of the following safety developments is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. Windscreens that can help drivers to improve their vision. B. Radars that can help drivers to see obstacles in fog. C. Devices that can help drivers to see through big vehicles. D. Improvements in seat belts, pedal controls and tyres.

39. Satellite tracking and remote communication systems cna be used to A. reduce oil consumption. B. remove the obstacles on the road.

9

C. call for help when one's car crashes. D. help drivers get out of a traffic jam.

40. Which of the following statements is true of robotic drivers? A. It will take some time before robotic drivers are available. B. Robotic drivers are not allowed to drive on busy roads. C. Robotic drivers can never replace human drivers.

D. Robotic drivers are too expensive to use. 第三篇

12

Some holidays are well-known all around the world. Among them are New Years’ Eve celebrations. Also common are days in honor of love and friendship, like Valentine’s Day. Each country has its own special holidays, too, often to make important events in its history. School, banks, and government offices all close on days like these. _____(46) A few of them are really very strange.

Of course, they are not strange to the people who celebrate them. Perhaps that is because the celebrations have long traditions. Consider April Fool’s Day, for example. No one knows when or why it began. Today it is celebrated in many countries---France, England, and Australia, among others. On this day, people play practical jokes.______(47) The ones who laugh are the ones playing the jokes. The people they fool often get angry. Does celebrating this day make sense to you?

Dyngus Day in Poland seems strange, too. On this day, it is traditional for boys to pour water over the heads of the girls. Here is the strangest part: They do it to girls they like.

Other unusual celebrations take place in a single city or town. A holiday called La Tomatina is celebrated in Bunol, Spain. Every year, in late August, big trucks carry more than 200,000 pounds of tomatoes into this little town. _____(48) For two hours, people in the streets throw tomatoes at each other. Everyone ends up red from head to toe.

August 10 marks the start of the Puck Fair, an Irish festival with a very unusual tradition. People from the town of Killorglin go up into the mountains and catch a wild goat. _____(49)

There are also some celebrations that are really strange. In the United States, sometimes one person gets an idea for a new holiday and tries to get others to accept it. Whose idea was Public Sleeping Day? That one is on February 28. It may seem strange, but it sounds like more fun than the one on February9.______(50)

Do you like the idea of inventing a new holiday? If you do, then you will want to make March 26 on your calendar. That is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day. A. Some people have fun imagining new holiday. B. That is supposed to be Toothache Day.

13

C. Then begins the world’s biggest food flight.

D. They bring him back to town, put a crown on his head, and make him kng for three days

E. Jokes are supposed to be funny, but these jokes do not make everyone laugh. F. Some of the days people celebrate, however, are less serious.
