Directions:
There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is
followed by five questions. For each question there are four
suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer
and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage
One
What’s the best way to protect a tender, green seedling from
the hungry stomach of deer? Give the seedling bad breath!
The same chemical that gives people bad breath after they have
eaten garlic can save small trees from being eaten by animals.
A kind of chemical selenium(硒), which is also found in garlic,
is planted in the soil near a young tree. The tree’s roots absorb
the selenium which is then carried to the leaves.
From there the selenium is used to form a chemical called dimethyl
selenide (乙烷硒化物)—the same chemical made in the human mouth after
eating garlic. As deer wander around looking for food, they
smell the seedlings’ leaves and leave the plants alone.
The selenium is important. Why? Because each year deer eat millions
of dollars’ worth of trees farm seedlings.
So far, selenium has been tested only on Douglas fir (枞树) seedlings,
but researchers think they could protect fruit trees and garden
plants, too.

On the morning of November 18,1755, an earthquake shook Boston,
Massachusetts. John Winthrop, a professor at Harvard College,
felt the quake and awoke. “I rose,” Winthrop wrote, “and lighting
a candle, looked on my watch, and found it was 15 minutes after
four.” John Winthrop went downstairs to the grandfather clock.
It had stopped four minutes before, at 4:11. Except for stopping
the clock, the quake had only thrown a key from the mantel (壁炉台)
to the floor.
The clock had stopped because Winthrop had put some long glass
tubes he was using for an experiment into the case for care.
The quake had knocked the tubes over and blocked the pendulum
(钟摆). Winthrop, therefore, had the exact time that the earthquake
had hit Boston. He looked at the key on the floor. The quake
had thrown it forward in the direction of the quake’s motion
(运动) by a shock coming from the northwest, perhaps in Canada.

A. the power of nature is terrible
B. earthquakes happen most often during nighttime hours
C. the direction of an earthquake can be discovered

Passage Four
Oceanography has been defined as “The application of all sciences
to the study of the sea”.
Before the nineteenth century scientists with an interest in
the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered
some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant
to go to sea to further his work.
For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of
early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living
from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions
about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The
first time that the question “What is at the bottom of the oceans?”
had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when
the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed.
The engineer had to know the depth profile (起伏形状) of the route
to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.
It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company
turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s,
Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which
soundings (测水深) were taken to investigate the depths of the
North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings
aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography
of the Sea.
The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made
permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed
and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered
in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific
opinion that there was no life in deeper parts of the sea.
Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson
led a scientific expedition (考察), which lasted for four years
and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification
and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to five-volume
report, the last volume being published in 1895.
76. The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America
made oceanographic studies take on ________.
A. an academic aspect B. a military aspect
C. a business aspect D. an international aspect
正确答案是:C 您的答案是:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
77. It was ________ that asked Maury for help in oceanographic
studies.
A. the American Navy B. some early intercontinental travelers
C. those who earned a living from the sea
D. the company which proposed to lay an undersea cable
正确答案是:D 您的答案是:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
78. The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the
1840s was _______.
A. to make some sounding experiments in the oceans
B. to collect samples of sea plants and animals
C. to estimate the length of cable that was needed
D. to measure the depths of the two oceans
正确答案是:D 您的答案是:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
79. “Defied” in the 5th paragraph probably means “________”.
A. doubted B. gave proof to C. challenged D. agreed to
