5、 Questions are based on the following passage.
You never see them, but they're with you every time you fly. They record where you are going,
how fast you're traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their abilityto withstand almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book. They're knownas the black box.
When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the Indiaocean June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a Frenchsubmarine (潜水艇) detected the device's homing signal five day; later, the discovery marked a huge
step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.
In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would trackbasic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which becamea requirement on all U.S. commercial flights by 1960. Early model,, often failed to withstand crashes,
however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the rear of the plane - the arealeast subject to impact - from its original position in the landing wells (起落架舱). The same year, theFederal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orangeor yellow to aid visibility.
Modem airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots' conversations,
and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine nois,~s and other operating functions thathelp investigators reconstruct the aircraft's final moments. Placed in an insulated ( 隔绝的) case andsurrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can withstand massive force andtemperatures up to 2,000~F. When submerged, they're also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 ft.
Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crasned near Brazil on June l, 2009, are inwater nearly that deep, but statistics say they're still likely to turn up.In the approximately 20 deep-seacrashes over the past 30 years, only one plane's black boxes were never recovered.
What does the author say about the black box?
A．It ensures the normal functioning of an airplane.
B．The idea for its design comes from a comic book.
C．Its ability to ward off disasters is incredible.
D．It is an indispensable device on an airplane.
6、根据材料，回答题：
The argument that global warming is causing more extreme weather is problematic because it presumes the globe is warming. In fact, the global temperature trend line has been stable for more than a dozen years, while carbon dioxide has increased 7%. If carbon dioxide was the driver, then why have global temperatures stopped increasing?
Keep in mind that carbon dioxide represents 0.0395% of the Earth's atmosphere. Arguing that carbon dioxide is driving the small temperature variations in our climate as opposed to the oceans, which cover70% of the planet and have 1,000 times the heat capacity of air, or the output of our sun, is scientifically disturbing.
Weather is more publicized nowadays because of its impact on society and the constant push of the global warming agenda. Increases in population result in more people being in the path of Mother Nature's great anger. Global warming activists attribute every major weather event to man because they are either uninformed about history, or choose to ignore it. The latest claims resulting from this series of hot and dry summers ignore the fact that more state heat records were set in the 1930s than all other decades of the last century combined. Anyone remember the Dust Bowl?
Seven major hurricanes hit the East Coast from 1954 to 1960. Now that we are in a pattern similar to the 1950s, the East Coast is vulnerable once again, and attributing events like Hurricane Irene to global warming is incorrect. All the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC．projections for our climate have proved to be wrong. Global temperatures have stopped increasing and are nowhere near estimates made a decade ago. The IPCC incorrectly predicted Arctic sea ice would disappear by now.
After Katrina in 2005, more and stronger hurricanes were forecast to be the future. The Accumulated Cyclone Energy Index for the globe has instead declined to the lowest level in 30 years. This does not mean we will not see warm weather and land-falling hurricanes. We are in a pattern similar to the 1950s when U.S. heat and drought as well as East Coast land-failing hurricanes were quite prevalent.
Perhaps when the Atlantic becomes cold, we will be hearing Ice Age scares again as we did in the 1970s.
According to the first, paragraph_______.
A．there is less extreme weather
B．the global temperature is always stable
C．the globe is not waring
D．carbon dioxide delays global wanning
简答题
7、苏州街原称买卖街(Merchants Street)，乾隆时(Emperor Qianlong’s reign)仿江南水乡(SouthChina towns)而建，是专供清代帝后逛市游览的的一条水街，一八六零被英法联军(Angl0—FrenchAllied Forces)焚毁，一九九零年在遗址上复建。街全长三百余米，以水当街，以岸作市，沿岸设有茶馆、酒楼、药房、钱庄、帽店、珠宝铺、点心铺(grocery store)等六十多个铺面，集中展现了十八世纪中国江南的商业文化氛围。
8、世界上宝贵的除了良好的心理素质，还有一个东西，那就是勤奋。宝贵的勤奋，不仅是身体上的勤奋，而且是精神上的勤奋。文学家说，勤奋是打开文学殿堂之门的一把钥匙；科学家说，勤奋能使人聪明；政治家说，勤奋是实现理想的基石；而平凡的人则说，勤奋是一种传统的美德。可见，勤奋富有了多么巨大的底蕴与魅力。人类如果丢弃了它。不行。
9、诗歌是早的文学体裁，它以抒情的方式，高度集中地反映社会生活。在文字出现以前，诗歌就已经存在了，因为诗歌源于劳动。诗歌是有节奏、有韵律并富有感情色彩的一种语言艺术形式，也是世界上古老、基本的文学形式。《诗经》(Book of C | ass i c Poetry)是我国早的一部诗歌总集，它收集了自西周初年至春秋时期大约五百多年的三百零五篇诗歌，在中国文学发展史上占有突出的地位。
