PAThe first newspapers were handwritten sheets which were posted in public places. The earliest recorded newspaper was started in Rome in 59 B. C. In the 700’s the world’s first printed newspaper was developed in China. Europe didn’t have a regularly published news-paper in 1609, when one was started in Germany.The first regularly published newspaper in the English language was printed in Amsterdam in 1620. In 1621, an English newspaper was started in London and was published weekly. The first daily English newspaper was, the Daily Current, which did not appear until March 1702.In 1690, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But the local government didn’t approve(批准) of the paper and stopped its publication after the first issue. In 1704, John Campbell started the Boston Newsletter, the first newspaper to be published daily in American colonies (殖民地)by 1760, the colonies had more than thirty newspapers. There are now 1800 daily papers in the U. S.Today, as a group, English language newspapers have the largest circulation (发行额) in the world. But the largest circulation for an individual (单独的)newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun, which sells more than eleven million copies every day.56.

Ed Wilson is reporting. The President and First Lady will wisit Africa on a goodwill tour in May. They plan to visit eight African countries.Reports from China say the Chinese want closer ties between China and the U. S. and Western Europe. A group of top Chinese scientists start its ten-nation tour next month.Here in Miami, the mayor is still meeting with the leaders of the teachers’ union to try of find a way to end the strike. City schools are still closed after two weeks.In news about health, scientists in California report findings of a relationship between the drinking of coffee and the increase of heart disease among women. According to the report in the America Medical Journal (杂志), the five-year study shows this: Women who drink more than two cups of coffee a day have greater chance of having heart disease than women who do not.In sports, the Chargers lost again last night. The BBs beat them I to nothing. The Wingers had better results. They beat the Rifles 7 to 3. It was their first win in their last five matches.That’s the news of the Hour. And now back to more easy listening with Jan Singer.61. The text is about .A an official visit to AfricaB the improvement to relationship between China and the U. S.C the news broadcast on the airD the strike led by the teachers’ union62. The news about health tells us that .A no heart disease will be found if people don’t drink coffeeB. no one should drink more than two cups of coffee a dayC the more coffee people drink, the more chances they’ll get to have heart diseaseD women’s heart disease has something to do with the drinking of coffee63. From the last news we don’t knowA. the results of the two matchesB. the number of the teams which playes last nightC. how many wins the BBs has had altogetherD. the Wingers had one win and four defeatsCThere is a very simple way of measuring the height of a water-tower, which we cannot measure by climbing.Suppose, for example, that we wish to find out the height of the water-tower, AB, in a factory, we first of all go to where the water-tower is standing and measure a distance of, say, 90 feet from it, in a straight line, marking the spot that is 90 feet from the water-tower, Then we take a stick, DC, and stand it in the ground at the spot we have just marked.Let us suppose that the stick we are using is 4 feet in height. We now walk farther away from the water-tower in the same straight line as when we measured off the distance of 90 feet. We go from the water-tower until we come to a point E, where with our head on the ground, we see the top of thestick and the top of the water-tower in the same straight line-that is, the top of the stick just over the highest part of the water-tower.We now have two triangles(三角形) and the proportion(比例)of the side CD to the side CE, in the smaller triangle CDE, is exactly the same as the proportion of the side BA to the side BE, in the large triangle BAE, It is clear from this that every schoolboy or schoolgirl can work out the height of the water-tower.Suppose that the line CE is 5 feet. We know that the stick is 4 feet high and the length BE is 95 feet. From these measurements we have the simple proportion sum(算题):5 is to 4 as 95 is to AB. We multiply(乘) 95 by 4, making 380, and divided by 5. Then we can get the height of the water-tower. The height of any other building can. Of course, be easily measured by using the same way.64. The height of the water-tower is .A AB B DC C 90 feetD 180 feet65. The triangle CDE must be .A. below the triangle BAEB. in the triangle BAEC out of the triangle BAED over the triangle BAE66. The proportion of the side CD to the side CE is .A bigger than the proportion of the side BA to the side BEB equal to the proportion of the side BA to the side BEC not as big as the proportion of the side BA to the side BED smaller than the proportion of the side BA to the side BE67. According to the measurements, which of the following proportion sums is correct?A BA is to four as five is to ninety-fiveB BA is to ninety-five as four is to fiveC Five is to ninety-five as BA is to fourD Four is to five as BA is to ninety.DThe biochemistry(生物化学)of hibernation may help save human lives. During the long cold winter many of us struggle to keep warm while we wait for the warmth of spring. But there are some animals going into a deep sleep during winter. When an animal is hibernating in this way, its body temperature falls to nearly freezing. The organs(器官)of the animal’s body almost stop working. The heart beats only a few times a minute. For example, the ground squirrel’s heartbeat during hibernation slows from its normal 350 beats each minute to only 3 or 4. Hibernating animals can lose as much as much as one half of their body weight during the sleep, and the body’s need for food is sharply reduced.No hibernating animal sleeps all winter without waking from time to time. Hibernating squirrels awaken about every 15 days. Bats awaken every 30-40 days. Scientists believe that these periods of waking and sleeping are controlled by a substance (物质) in the blood called HIT was put into a monkey’s brain, its heartbeat slowed as much as 50%. The body temperatu re fell several degrees, and its interest in food disappeared. Doctors believe that HIT, when it is better understood, might be used during operations on the heart or other parts of the body. It could reduce the body’s temperature and slow the heartbeat to reduce bleeding (出血). The effect of HIT on a person’sinterest in food also might be used in helping those who want to lose weight. And HIT might be used in space travel. An astronaut sent to a distant planet or star might be able to hibernate for most of the trip, waking only when necessary.68. During hibernation the ground squirrel’s heartbeat .A. falls several timesB. slows from its normal 350 heats each minute to 120C. goes up from 3 or 4 beats each minute to 350D. reduces from ist normal 350 beats each minute to 3 or 469. During the winter sleep, hibernating animals can loseA. 50 percent of their body weightB. as much as one-third of their body weightC. two-thirds of their body weightD. one-fourth of their body weight70. What effect does the substance HIT have on hibernating animals?A It has a chemical effect on themB It has a bad effect on themC It has an effect on the rising of their temperature.D It can control the periods of their waking and sleeping.71. Doctors believe that HIT might be used during operations because .A. it could make the patient sleepB. it could reduce the body’s temperature and heartbeat thus to reduce bleedingC. it could make the sick feel less painD. it could keep the sick awake during the operationEWithout proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants(居民) of a country. If tourists create too much tourism can help the country’s economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination (目的地)country and how tourism affects (影响)them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being (health and happiness) of local in habitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, first-class roads, and other support facilities(设施)needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel ,electricity, sewers(下水道)to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.72. Which of the following is most probably discussed in the passage?A. It is extremely important to develop tourism.B. Building roads and hotels is essential (必不可少的)C. Support facilities are highly necessary.D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.73. Too much tourism can cause all these problems except .A. a bad impact(影响)on other industriesB. a change of tourists’ customsC. overcrowdedness of places of interestD. pressure on traffic74. Not enough tourism can lead to .A. an increase of unemploymentB. a decrease in tourist attractionsC. the higher level of support facilitiesD. a rise in price and a fall in pay75. It it good for local people to be well aware (察觉) that tourism will .A. use up a large amount of waterB. weaken their economyC help establish their traditions (传统)D help improve their life第II卷(共35分)第四部分:写(共两节,满分35分)第一节短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)此题要求改正给短文中的错误。
