Because of a lack of funding and appropriate protection 41 , the fossils were beginning to weather and oxidize. If the situation 42 , these fossils will become 43 a pile of dust. In a showroom without any temperature or humidity-setting facilities, the fossils are 44 in and around a sand pan, 45 with thick dust. Most of the collection is a 20 metre long, five metre high skeleton believed to have existed in the late Cretacuous period, when dinosaurs began to become 46 . It is rare 47 anywhere in the world. It took five years to unearth and clean up the skeleton, and 70 percent of the bones where found and pieced together. Its a pity that the 48 skeleton could not be 49 or made available for research as there were no exhibition halls or protection facilities. The local government has begun to take notice of the problem. Recently experts and local officials have sat together to discuss the possibility of raising funds to build a provincial nature museum.III. Reading Comprehension:Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In 50 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend quickly can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 51 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 52 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency (缺陷) 53 in the actual stuff of language itself-words. Taken individually, words have 54 meaning until they are strung together into phrased, sentences and paragraphs. 55 however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to 56 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over 9 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 57 down the speed of reading is vocalizationsounding each word either orally or mentally as one reads.To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 58 , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 59 the reader finds comfortable, in order to“stretch”him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 60 word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization, practically impossible. At first 61 is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 62 your comprehension will improve. Many people have found their reading skill greatly improved after some training. 63 Charlce Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute before the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can 64 a lot more reading material in a short period of time.50AapplyingBdoingCofferingDgetting51AgoodBeagerCpoorDurgent52AtrainingBhabitsCsituationsDcustom53AliesBcombinesCtouchesDinvolves54AsomeBa lotClittleDdull55AFortunatelyBIn factCLogicallyDUnfortunately56AreuseBrereadCrewriteDrecite57AscalesBcutsCslowsDmeasures58AacceleratorBactorCapplicatorDobserver59AthenBasCbeyondDthan60AenablingBleadingCmakingDindicating61AmeaningBcomprehensionCcontentDregression62AbutBnorCorDfor63ALook atBTakeCMakeDConsider64AmasterBgo overCpresentDget throughSection BDirections: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AAfter numerous false starts and broken promises, and nearly 184m gallons of crude oil gushed into the ecologically rich waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill was at last brought under control on July 16. So far, both the long term effects of the oil spill have been studied comprehensively.According to the report by Friends of the Earth US, in the 85 days of the leak, 1,387 birds, 444 sea turtles, and 53 mammals were found dead in the Gulf. Nonetheless, the damage yet to be revealed will be far worse than a few dead birds and tar balls along 500 miles of coast. Dolphins, whale sharks and sea turtles numbers will almost certainly have been hit hard, and some populations may not ecover for years. Fish and shrimp breeding habitats will have been hit. Deep coral ceefs, which can take centuries to grow, may also have been affected.The oil that gushed also added to natural oil and gas leaks into Gulf waters. These occur all the time from the sea bed, and the US Department of Energy estimates that there may be 5,000 active “seeps” in the northern Gulf alone. One researcher calculated in 2000 that 500,000 barrels of oil-84m gallons-naturally gets into the Gulf each year, but is never cleaned up. The Gulf is also heavily polluted by nitrogen（氮）and phosphorus（磷）from fertilisers and livestock waste washed down the vast Mississippi river from farms and industry. Every year, a massive oxygen-starved region known as the dead zone develops off the coast of Louisiana in which nothing can live. Last month, the US governments National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said it expected this years zone to be between 6,500 and 7,800 square miles, the 10th largest ever. No one knows yet how the oil spill may affect it.Fish will have suffered, but paradoxically the US governments decision to ban commercial fishing from 88,000 sq miles of the Gulf during the clean-up in order to safeguard human health could actually help regenerate depleted fish stocks. The Gulf is one of the most overfished seas in the world, with many species in serious decline and some fisheries near collapse.One wild card yet to be played is a major hurricane tearing through the Gulf of Mexico, Rough seas will hamper (防碍)efforts to finally seal the well and clean up the oil. The associated storm surges could also drive oil over barriers and further onto coastal land and into sensitive habitats. But the raging （狂暴的）of a storm could also break up the oil slick（浮油）, allowing the bacteria that break it down to act more rapidly.65Fish and shrimp-breeding habitats will have been hit. Deep coral reefs, which can take centuries to grow, may also have been affected. The word habitats means .Aplaces under waterBnatural homes of plants and animalsCsome animals habitsDspecial places of interest66Nonetheless, the damage yet to be revealed will be far worse than a few dead birds and tar balls along 500 miles of coast. The underlined words refer to .Athat will be revealed laterBthat has already been revealedCthat needs revealingDthat is been showing67The incident of natural oil and gas leaks into the Gulf of Mexico mainly involves the interests of .Athe U. S.BMexicoCBritainDthe U. S. and BritainB Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live, we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses， buy things in shops， or eat in restaurants， we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions， receive news or comment， and very likely have our views challenged by other members of society.Face to face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one of the dominating factors of contemporary society. Two things，above others，have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances imprinting，telecommunications photography， radio and television. Secondly， speed has revolutionized the transmission （传输）and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news， which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate， but today there are public libraries. For years ago people used to flock to the cinema， but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a programme that is being channeled into millions of homes.Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modem communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information，education and entertainment. The printing， broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing，educating and entertaining.Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is part，the vast modem network of communications is open to abuse（滥用）. However，the mass media are with us for better， for worse， and there is no turning back.68In the first paragraph the writer emphasizes the of face-to-face contact in social setting.AnatureBlimitationCcreativityDusefulness69It is implied in the passage that .Alocal news used to be the only source of informationBlocal news still takes a significant placeCnational news is becoming more popularDinternational news is the fastest transmitted news70Which of the following statements is NOT true? ATo possess information used to be a privilege.BPublic libraries have replaced private libraries.CCommunication means more than transmission.DIn formation influences ways of life and thinking.71From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer is .Aindifferent to the harmful influence of the mass mediaBhappy about the flexible changes in the mass mediaCpessimistic about the future of the mass mediaDconcerned about the wrong use of the mass mediaC Psychologist George Spilich and colleagues at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, decided to find out whether, as many smokers say, smoking helps them to “think and concentrate”. Spilich put young non-smokers, active smokers and smokers deprived of cigarettes through a series of tests. In the first test, each subject sat before a computer screen and pressed a key as soon as he or she recognized a target letter among a grouping of 96. In this simple test, smokers, deprived smokers and non-smokers performed equally well.The next test was more complex, requiring all to scan sequences of 20 identical letters and respond the instant one of the letters transformed into a different one. Non-smokers were faster, but under the stimulation of nicotine (尼古丁), active smokers were faster than deprived smokers.In the third test of short-term memory, non-smokers made the fewest errors, but deprived smokers committed fewer errors than active smokers.The fourth test required people to read a passage, then answer questions about it. Non-smokers remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active smokers, and deprived smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing. Active smokers tended not only to have poorer memories but also had trouble separating important information from insignificant details.“As our tests became more complex,” sums up Spilich, “non-smokers performed better than smokers by wider and wider margins” He predicts, “smokers might perform adequately at many jobs-until they got complicated. A smoking airline pilot could fly adequately if no problems arose, but if something went wrong, smoking might damage his mental capacity.”72What is the purpose of Spilichs experiment?ATo test if smoking has a positive effect on the mental capacity of smokers.BTo see whether smoking helps peoples short-term memory.CTo prove that smoking affects peoples regular performance.DTo show how smoking damages peoples regular performance.73The underlined word “bested” mostly means .AbeatBenviedCcaught
