A

The Kingdome in Seattle was destroyed on March 26，

2000．It was taken down to make room for a new stadium．The

blast(爆破)from the failing building caused the earth to shake as

if an earthquake had happened．

Scientists placed more than 200 earthquake recorders in

the earth to measure the movement．They found which parts of

the

city shook the most．This information helped them know which parts of the city would be damaged in a real earthquake at an early time．

A real earthquake happened on February 28, 2001 in Seattle．The Nisqually earthquake was

6.8 on the Richter scale(里氏6.8级)．It damaged the same parts of Seattle that scientists had predicted from the pulling down of the Kingdome．It was a plate quake．It started deep in the earth, 37 miles below the surface on the Juan de Fuca Plate．Sometimes，huge plates under the earth cause earthquakes when the plates move against each other suddenly．

Scientists have learned that deep earthquakes have very few aftershocks(余震)．The Nisqually earthquake had only 4 ones．Another earthquake in California that was close to the surface had over 120 aftershocks．Scientists do not know why the deep earthquakes have fewer aftershocks．

Scientists plan to blast in the ground near Seattle with the purpose of testing the plate．The shockwaves from the blast will jump off the plate and give them all idea of where the plate is and how it is moving．This will give them more information in case another real earthquake hits the area．

56．Why were the scientists interested in the pulling down of the Seattle Kingdome?

A．To predict what might happen in a real earthquake．

B．To see which areas near the Kingdome would shake the hardest．

C．To measure the movement of the Earth with earthquake recorders．

D．All of the above．

57．What will happen after a deep earthquake according to the scientists?

A．There will be little damage．

B．There will be many aftershocks．

C．There will be very few aftershocks．

D．The Richter scale of the quakes will be 6.8 or more．

58．According to the passage，have the most aftershocks．

A．deep earthquakes B．shockwave earthquakes

C．earthquakes close to the surface D．earthquakes more than 6.8 Richter scale 59．By studying the blast in the ground near Seattle, scientists hope to

A．destroy the Kingdome

B．learn where the plate is and how it is moving

C．find out how many plates there are in the ground there

D．know which places are likely to have the most damage

I hear many parents complain that their teenage children are rebelling (叛逆). I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of starting acting

independently, most of them are holding one another's hands for reassurance (放心).

They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But they all end up listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (茧) into a larger cocoon.

It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly developed a market for teenagers. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. This is a great roadblock for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.

But the roadblock is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come—with the people who respect you for who you are. That's the only kind of popularity that is really important.

63. The author's purpose in writing this passage is to tell______.

A. readers how to be popular with people around

B. teenagers how to learn to make a decision for themselves

C. parents how to control and guide their children

D. people how to understand and respect each other

64. According to the author, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but

in fact most of them______.

A. have much difficulty understanding each other

B. lack confidence

C. dare not deal with any problems alone

D. are very much afraid of getting lost

65. The author thinks of advertisements as ______to teenagers.

A. instructive

B. attractive

C. beneficial

D. influential

66. The main idea of the last paragraph is that a teenager should______.

A. differ from others in as many ways as possible

B. become popular with others

C. find his real self

D. rebel against his parents and the popularity wave

D

Even as Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda wrapped up a tired appearance before Congress，the head of the world’s largest automaker wasn’t leaving his problems behind．

Toyota faces a criminal investigation by federal lawyers in New York．The company is now being investigated．Its US dealerships（特许经销商）in difficulty now are facing repairs to potentially millions of customer cars that have been recalled．The company is offering customers money back for rental cars and other expenses．

Its lawyers are busy preparing to cope with lawsuits．A new hearing will be conducted. And the cost to Toyota’s reputation is only now starting．

Despite back-to-back hearings this week，left to be said were a better explanation for slow actions to deal with the faults and believable promises that the problems that led to sudden，unintended accelerations will be fixed．

Toyoda said those changes were being made nearly around the clock，but during three hours of often tense questions and answers he repeated that there was no link to the vehicle’s electronic systems．

Many drivers making complaints against Toyota and the government say their acceleration problems had nothing to do with floor mat interference(油门踏板故障)or sticky gas pedals(刹车)．Outside experts have suggested electronic problems.

House lawmakers expressed serious criticism on Toyoda，the grandson of the company’s founder．

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA)is seeking records on Toyota’s recalls and is conducting its own review on whether electronics were behind the car faults．NHTSA also continues to look into steering（转向操控装置）complaints from drivers of the popular Corolla model．

Toyota has recalled 8.5 million cars，more than 6 million of them in the United States．

It may be a while before car buyers believe that Toyota really makes safe cars．

Toyota’s January sales a lready fell 16 percent even as most other automakers jumped back from last year’s bad results．Analyst Koji Endo of Advanced Research Japan in Tokyo said he expects February sales，due out next week，to be down 30 percent to 40．Toyota’s sales problem could continue beyond that．

It will take some time to feel the full effect of this，he said．

67．The best title for this passage is．

A．Toyota is in trouble B．Toyota is under hearing[来源:高考资源网]

C．Toyota is finished D．Toyota is still running

68．What is the purpose of the hearing?

A．America hopes that Toyota apologizes to the US customers．

B．America wants to get Toyota out of the US market．

C．America wants to help Toyota out of difficulty．

D．America hopes that Toyota admits their cars have electronic system problem．69．What can we infer from the passage?

A．Toyota provides very good post sale service．

B．Toyota’s biggest market is in the United States．

C．Toyota will become better．

D．Toyota’s dealership in the US will all b e closed．

70．The last sentence of this passage indicates .

A．Analyst Koji Endo is fully confident about Toyota

B．Toyota could meet a worse situation

C．Toyota would get out of trouble sooner or later

D．Toyota would build up a better reputation among its customers

注意：每个空格只填l个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。

What makes people happier: money or having happy friends and neighbors? Researchers from HarvardUniversity and the University of California, San Diego, have found an answer as part of a study.

Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler based the study on the emotional health of almost five thousand people. They used information gathered over a period of twenty years, until 20XX, in the Framingham Heart Study. That study began sixty years ago in Framingham, Massachusetts, to learn more about the risks of heart attack and stroke.

The new study found that friends of happy people had a greater chance of being happy themselves. And the smaller the physical distance between friends, the larger the effect they had on each ot her’s happiness.

For example, a person was twenty percent more likely to feel happy if a friend living within one and a half kilometers was also happy. Having a happy neighbor who lived next door increased an individual’s chance of being happy by thirty-f our percent. The effects of friends’ happiness lasted for up to a year.

The researchers found that happiness really is contagious（可蔓延的，传染的）. Sadness also spread among friends, but not as much as happiness.

People removed by as much as three degrees of sep aration still had an effect on a person’s happiness. Three degrees of separation means the friend of a friend of a friend.

The study showed that having an extra five thousand dollars increased a person’s chances of becoming happier by about two percent. But the researchers found that the influence of a friend of a friend of a friend can be greater than that.

Another finding is that people who are married or work together do not have as much of an effect on happiness as friends do.

The findings appeared in the British Medical Journal. The National Institute on Aging in the United States helped pay for the study.

The study is described as the first to demonstrate the indirect spread of happiness. In other words, that your emotions can be affected by someone you do not directly know.

Earlier studies by the two researchers described the effects of social networks on obesity and efforts to stop smoking. The new study shows that happiness spreads through social networks like an emotional virus — a virus people would be happy to catch.

The (81) ________ of the

study

To find what makes people happier.

The (82) ________ of the

study Having extra money meaning (83) _______ chances of becoming happier.

People after marriage or working together not (84) _______ a person a lot.

★ Happiness as well as sadness (86) _________ among friends. ★ (87)________ less than a year.

★ Three degrees of (88) _________ playing a role, too.
