第5题

The industrial societies have been extremely productive during the last two centuries. The

economic advance has been remarkable. During this relatively short period of time, greater changes in people's living conditions have occurred than in the thousands of years which preceded.

During the past 200 years the world population has increased 6 times, the annual world output has increased 80 times, and the distance a person can travel has gone up 1,000 times. There has also been much recent progress in art, culture, learning, and science. Such changes have led to a high rate of production and growth of the economy.

Economists fear that within the next 100 to 150 years, the earth's resources will become very scarce. Their fears are partly justified, but we should not be afraid. Industrial civilization adapts to new knowledge. By advancing knowledge, we not only create new forms of resources, but we also find ways to economize their use. Advanced modern knowledge can feed the hungry people of the world and improve their standard of living.

The figures in the second paragraph are used for the following purposes EXCEPT______.

A．prediction.

B．contrast.

C．definition.

D．explanation.

完成下列各选项 A A greenhouse is a building made of glass whi

ch is used for keeping plants warm when the outside temperature is how．In a similar way there are several gases in the atmosphere which trap(捕捉)the heat produced by the sun and prevent it from escaping．These gases are known as“greenhouse gases“，and the way in which they trap heat in the atmosphere is called the “greenhouse effect”．This is not simply air pollution．Most of the main greenhouse gases exist naturally in small amounts in our atmosphere．And without them earth would be 30 degrees colder and human life would not exist．In other words，the greenhouse effect is a natural course which is to some degree helpful to us． The problem is that in the last century and a half．we have been putting too many 0f these gases into the earth’s atmosphere by burning large quantities of coal and oil and by cutting down forests．The rapid increase in greenhouse gases is making the world warmer．The world's temperature has already gone up by half a degree this century，and the sea level has risen by lo centi-metres．If the amount of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)in the atmosphere doubles，there will probably be a rise in the earth’s temperature of between l and 4 degrees．This may seem a small in—crease，but it would be enough to cause major changes in geography and agriculture．Large areas of the world would be flooded．and some areas would become dry and unable to produce crops．It is important，too，to consider that there may be a delay of about 30 years in the greenhouse effect．This means that we’re probably experiencing only now the effect of the gases put into the atmosphere before the l960s．Since then，our use of these gases has greatly increased． “Greenhouse effect”means________．

A.a natural course which is to some degree helpful to us

B.the way．in which gases are used for keeping plants warm

C.the way“greenhouse gases”trap heat on the earth

D.the whole course in which greenhouse gases prevent heat

第10题

There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. Information in longterm memory ca

n be remembered at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or weeks. However, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.

Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English; beginning, intermediate, advanced, and native-speaking students.

To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording. Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.

Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning's results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, while advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.

Henning made the experiment in order to study ______.

A．how students remember English vocabulary by short-term memory

B．how students learnEnglish vocabulary

C．how to develop students' ability in English

D．how long information in short-term memory is kept
