Earthquake
How does an earthquake start?
What makes an earthquake happen? The rock of the earth's
crust (地壳) may have a fault', a kind of break in the surface.
The blocks which make up the earth move, and sometimes this
may cause the sides of the fault to move up and down or
lengthways (纵向地) against each other. When one piece of rock
starts to rub on another with great force, a lot of energy
is used. This energy is changed into vibrations (振动) and
it is these vibrations that we reef as an earthquake. The
vibrations can travel thousands of kilometers and so an
earthquake in Turkey may be felt in Greece.
What to do during an earthquake?
At school
As soon as the earthquake starts, students should get
under the desks immediately and wait until the teacher tells
them it is safe to come out. The teacher should, at the
same time, go immediately to the teacher's desk, get underneath
(在……下面) it and stay there till the danger is over. Students
must not argue with the teacher or question instructions.
As soon as the tremors (震动) stop, all students should
walk towards the exit and go straight to the school playground
or any open space such as a square or a park. They must
wait there until the teacher tells them it is safe to go.
At home
If you are at home when the earthquake occurs, get immediately
under the table in the living room or kitchen. Choose the
biggest and strongest table you can find. You must not go
anywhere near the window and don't go out onto the balcony
(阳台). Once the tremors have stopped, you can come out from
under the table but you must leave the building straight
away. You should walk down the stairs and should not use
the lift - there may be a power cut as a result of the earthquake
and you could find yourself trapped inside the lift for
hours.
In the street
If you are in the street when the earthquake takes place,
do not stand near buildings, fences or walls -- move away
as quickly as possible arid try to find a large open space
to wait in. Standing under trees could also be dangerous.
16 People knew long ago how an earthquake starts

C Not mentioned
17 Thousands of people were killed during an earthquake
in Turkey.

The Science of Sport
1 At the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, the Chinese
athlete Liu Xiang equaled the
world record for the 110 metres hurdles (跨栏) when he
ran the race in 12.91 seconds. This record time had been
set in 1993 by British sprinter (短跑运动员) Colin Jackson and
9 years went by before another athlete was able to run as
fast.
2 Record-breaking in all track events is slowing
down and we appear to be moving much closer to the limits
of human performance. Nevertheless, every four years, records
which were previously thought to be unbeatable are broken.
So what's behind this never-ending improvement in performance?
And how long can we keep breaking records? Is there a limit
to human performance or will athletes continue to gain seconds?
3 Most experts agree that it isn't the athletes'
bodies which have changed but the huge advances in sport
science which have enabled them to improve their performances.
The individual athlete obviously has to have the necessary
skill and determination to succeed, but the help of science
and technology can be significant. Research has brought
a better understanding of the athlete's body and mind but
the advances in sports equipment technology have also had
an important impact on human performance.
4 Scientists have shown that an athlete's body's
needs vary according to the type of sport. This research
has helped top sports people to adapt their training programme
and diet better to their particular needs. Running the marathon
and cycling, for example, are endurance (耐力) sports and
require a different parathion (硝苯硫磷脂) to that of a 100-metre
sprinter. In some sports, changes in techniques have significantly
improved performance.
5 But in any sport, a player's success or failure
results from a combination of both physical and mental abilities.
Most coaches use psychological techniques to help their
athletes cope with stress and concentrate on their performance.
For example, the English football team listens to music
in the changing rooms before a game to help the players
relax and not feel so nervous. Before a difficult match,
tennis players are encouraged to use visualization (相象)
techniques to build confidence and this is almost as good
as practice.
6 But as science, begins to dominate sport, are
we in danger of losing sight of the heart of the competition,
the sporting challenge? What's more, are all these advantages
fair?

Recycling Around the World
Recycling is one of the best
environmental success stories of the late 20th century.
But we could do more. People must not see recycling .as
fashionable, but essential.
The Japanese are very good at
recycling because they live in a crowded country.
They do not have much space. They do not want to share
their limited space with rubbish. But even so, Tokyo area
alone is estimated to have three million tons of leftover
rubbish at present.
In 1996, the United States recycled
and composted (制成肥料)57 million tons of waste (27% of the
nation's solid waste). This is 57 million tons of waste
which did not go into landfills and incinerators (焚化炉).
In doing this, 7,000 rubbish collection programmes and recycling
centres helped the authorities.
In Rockford, a city in Illinois,
US, its officials choose one house each week and check its
garbage (废物). If the garbage does not contain any newspapers
or aluminium (铝) cans, then the resident of the house gets
a prize of at least $1,000.
In Japan, certain cities give
children weekly supplies of tissue paper and toilet paper
in exchange for a weekly collection of newspapers.
In one year Britain recycles:
· 1 out of every 3 newspapers.
· 1 out of every 4 glass
bottles and jars (罐子).
· 1 out of every 4 items
of clothing.
· 1 out of every 3 aluminium
drink cans.
In 1999, Hong Kong transported
1.3 million tons of waste to mainland China for recycling.
Around 535,000 tons of waste were recycled in Hong Kong
itself.
Over half the things we throw
away could be recycled. That means we could recycle
10 times as much as we do now.
However, recycling needs a lot
of organisation and special equipment. Also, there is not
much use for some recycled material.
31 Which of the following is NOT true of the Japanese?
A They live in a crowded country.
B They have recycled all their
waste.
C They are very good at recycling.
D They have to share their limited space with rubbish
32 How much waste did the US recycle in 1996?
A 1.3 million tons.
B 27 million tons.
C 57 million tons.
D 53 million tons.
33 Where can people get a big prize for contributing
to recycling?
A Rockford.
B Tokyo.
C Hong Kong.
D London.
34 In Japan, the newspapers collected by children
A are given to poor people.
B are used as reading materials.
C are used as prizes.
D are recycled.
35 Which of the following is NOT true of Britain?
A It recycles 1 out of every
3 newspapers each year.
B It recycles 1 out of every
4 glass bottles and jars each year
C It recycles 1 out of every
3 aluminium cans each year.
D It recycles 1 out of every
4 items of clothing each year.

Walking Robot Carries a Person
The first walking robot capable
of carrying a person unveiled on Friday in Tokyo, Japan.
Its creators at Waseda University in Tokyo and the Japanese
robotics company
Tmsuk hope their two-legged creation will one day enable
wheel-chair users to climb up and down the stairs and assist
the movement of heavy goods over uneven ground.
The battery-powered robot, code-named
WL-16, is essentially an aluminium chair mounted on two
sets of telescopic poles. The poles are bolted to flat plates
which act as feet. WL-16 uses 12 actuators (传动装置) to move
forwards, backwards and sideways while carrying an adult
weighing up to 60 kilograms (130 pounds). The robot can
adjust its body and walk smoothly even if the person it
is carrying shifts in the chair. At present it can only
step up or down a few millimeters, but the, team plans to
make it capable of dealing with a normal flight of stairs.
I believe this bipedal (两足的)
robot, which I prefer to call a two-legged walking chair
rather than a wheel-chair, will eventually enable people
to go up and down the stairs," said Atsuo Takanishi, from
Waseda University.
"We have had strong robots for
some time but usually they have been manipulators, they
have not been geared to carrying people around," says Ron
Arkin, at the Georgia Institute of Technology and robotics
consultant for Sony. "But I don't know how safe and how
user-friendly WL-16 is."
Tmsuk chief executive Yoichi
Takamoto argues that bipedal or multi-legged robots will
be more useful than so-called "caterpillar (毛毛虫) models"
for moving over uneven ground.
WL-16's normal walking step
measures 30 centimetres, but it can stretch its legs to
136 cm apart. The prototype (原型) is currently radio-controlled,
but the research team plans to equip it with a stick-like
controller for the user in future. Takanishi said it will
take "at least two years" to develop the WL-16 prototype
into a working model.
Smaller, ground-hugging (紧贴地面行走的)
robots have been developed to pass across tricky ground.
One maggot-like (像蛆一样的) device uses a magnetic fluid to
pulse its way along, while another snake-like robot uses
smart software to devise new movement strategies if the
landscape affects any one part. One ball-shaped robot even
uses a leap-and-bounce approach to travel over rough territory.
But none of these are big or strong enough to carry a person
too.
36 The robot presented to the public on Friday in Tokyo,
Japan
A surprised visitors from Waseda
University.
B can move up to 60 kilometres
per hour.
C can transport heavy goods
over uneven ground
D has two legs and is able to carry a person.
37 The researchers plan to make WL-16 capable of
A moving up and down the stairs
easily.
B turning its head easily.
C using a telescope to find
the way.
D carrying a person of over
60 kilograms.
38 What does Ron Arkin think of WL-16?
A He doesn't think it is useful.
B He thinks it is only a manipulator.
C He thinks it is user-friendly.
D He is unsure of its safety.
39 Which of the following is true of WL-16?
A It can only move forwards
and backwards.
B It is a caterpillar model.
C It can walk with a step of
up to 136 cm.
D It is equipped with a stick-like controller.
40 Which type of robot is NOI mentioned in the last paragraph?
A Maggot-like robots.
B Snake-like robots.
C Ball-shaped robots.
D Chair-shaped robots.
第三篇
Is the Tie a Necessity?
Ties, or neckties, have been
a symbol of politeness and elegance in Britain for centuries.
But the casual Prime Minister Tony Blair has problems with
them. Reports suggest that even the civil servants may stop
wearing ties. So, are the famously formal British really
going to abandon the neckties?
Maybe. Last week, the UK's Cabinet
Secretary Andrew Turnbull openly welcomed a tieless era.
Fie hinted that civil servants would soon be free of the
costliest 12 inches of fabric that most men ever buy in
their lives.
In fact, Blair showed this attitude
when he had his first guests to a cocktail party. Many of
them were celebrities (知名人士) without ties, which would have
been unimaginable even in the recent past.
For some more conservative British,
the tie is a must for proper appearance. Earlier, Labor
leader Jim Callaghan said he would have died rather than
have his children seen in public without a tie. For people
like Callaghan, the tie was a sign of being complete, of
showing respect. Men were supposed to wear a tie when going
to church, to work in the office, to a party - almost every
social occasion.
But today, people have begun
to accept a casual style even for formal occasions.
The origin of the tie is tricky.
It started as something called simply a "band". The term
could mean anything around a man's neck. It appeared in
finer ways in the 1630s. Frenchmen showed a love of this
particular fashion statement. Their neckwear (颈饰) impressed
Charles II, the king of England who was exiled (流放) to France
at that time. When he returned to England in 1660, he brought
this new fashion item along with him.
It wasn't, however, until the
late 18th century that fancy young men introduced a more
colorful, flowing piece of cloth that eventually became
known as the tie. Then, clubs, military institutions and
schools began to use colored arid patterned ties to indicate
the wearer's membership in the late 19th century. After
that, the tie became a necessary item of clothing for British
gentlemen.
But now, even gentlemen are
getting tired of ties. Anyway, the day feels a bit easier
when you wake up without having to decide which tie suits
you and your mood.
41 The tie symbolizes all of tile following except
A respect.
B elegance.
C democracy.
D politeness.
42 Why does Blair sometimes show up in a formal event
without a tie?
A Because he wants to make a
show.
B Because he wants to attract
attention.
C Because he wants to live in
a casual way.
D Because ties are costly.
43 Which of the following is NOT a social occasion?
A Going to church.
B Going to work in the office.
C Going to a party.
D Staying at home.
44 Who brought the Frenchmen's neckwear to Britain?
A Charles ii.
B Tony Blair.
C Jim Callaghan.
D Andrew Turnbull.
45 When did British gentlemen begin to wear ties regularly?
A In the 1630s.
B After the late 19th century.
C In 1660.
D In the late 18th century.

Female Bullfighting
It was a unique, eye-catching sight: an attractive woman
in a shiny bullfighter's suit, sword in hand, facing the
sharp horns of a black, 500-kilogram beast.
Most people thought the days of female bullfighting were
over in Spain (46)
The first woman fighter, Cristina Sanchez, quit in 1999
because of male discrimination (歧视), But Vega is determined
to break into what could be Spain's most resistant male
field (47)
Spanish women have conquered almost all male professions.
(48) "The bull does not ask for your identity
card," she said in an interview a few years ago. She insisted
that she be judged for her skills rather than her femaleness.
Vega became a matador (斗牛士) in 1997 in the southwestern
city of Caceres. (49) She entered a bullfighting
school in Malaga at age nine and performed her first major
bullfight at age 14. She has faced as much opposition as
Sanchez did. And the "difficulties have made her grow into
a very strong bullfighter," her brother Jorge says.
The 1.68-metre tall and somewhat shy Vega says her love
of bullfighting does not make her any less of a woman. (50)
A Her father was an aspiring (有雄心壮志的) bullfighter.
B But many bullfighting professionals continue
to insist that women do not have what it takes to perform
the country's "national show".
C "I'm a woman from head to toe and proud of it,"
she once said
D She looks like a male bullfighter
E But recently, 29-year-old Marl Paz Vega became
the second woman in Spanish history to fight against those
heavy animals
F She intends to become even better than Sanchez
was.

High-Tech Warfare (战争)
Today, high-tech warfare is no longer an abstract concept,
but a real issue.
Technology
(51) tactics, sociology, and the development of weaponry
(武器). It also causes the changes in battles. Then what are
the new characteristics of modern battles (52)
by the application of high technologies?
High4ech warfare naturally includes
high technology. In modern battles, a single kind of weapon
can hardly be (53).
Various weaponry, such as intelligence detection and information
processing, should (54)
well with each other. Aerial (航空的) weaponry becomes the
main force in battles in the sky. Precision homing (精确自导)
weaponry like cruise missiles and missiles
(55) satellite homing systems becomes the main attack
weapons.
Battle control systems play a dominant role. Various
weapons and logistics (后勤) systems are (56)
into a comprehensive framework, centrally representing the
modern high4ech weaponry. Depending on various (57)
equipment and means in electronic warfare, our army will
not be passively beaten.
(58) the battlefield, high-tech warfare has created
a type of non-linear (非线性的) chaos.
Because of the use of long-range precision weaponry,
the opposite parties in warfare can't "touch" or "see" each
other, and distance is no longer the decisive factor affecting
the (59)
of battles, it is hard to clearly define the lines between
the frontier and the rear, as well as attack and defense.
The traditional three-dimensional air-sea battlefield will
be (60)
by the multi-dimensional battlefield composed of air, sea,
magnetic, electrical and information battlefields. No large-scale
movements can be conducted (61).
Because modern weaponry systems
are closely related to chains of demand and communication
and electronic technology, the parties
(62) have to pay attention to the usufruct (使用权) and
control of electromagnetic frequency spectrum. So electronic
warfare becomes (63)
important and the necessary guarantee of victory. Whatever
(64) warfare goes to and whatever cloak (宽大外衣) it wears,
it always violates peace and brings the world bloodshed
(流血). Most people think of high technology as a
(65) to enhance, e their lives, and they don't wish
it to be used to destroy lives.
