Carmaker' s research and development laboratories have already proved that mixing more noisewith the help of loudspeakers can reduce the unwanted noise. Physicists have known about thetechnique for a long time. Sound is made up of pressure waves in the air. If two sound waves ofthe same frequency(頻率) mix so that the highest point of one wave happens at the same time asthe lowest point of the other wave, the result is no sound. Therefore, by producing a perfect copyof the noise and delaying it by half a wave cycle ( 周期 ), we can kill the unwanted noise. Usingthis technique many carmakers are racing to develop noise killing systems ( 系統(tǒng)) both inside andoutside the cars. Another good thing about the use of noise killing systems is that it saves the need for a silencer;this not only reduces the weight of a car, but also makes the moto bum less fuel and work better.Some engineers believe that the noise killing system will be used in most cars within a fewyears. But the carmakers haven' t decided if they will carry it into production because it would addseveral hundred dollars to the cost of their cars.
    Which of the following gives a general idea of how the noise killing system works? A.By producing pressure waves going in the opposite direction. B.By mixing high frequency sound waves with low frequency sound waves. C.By mixing new sound waves with the noise and sending them out together. D.By making copies of the unwanted sound waves and letting them out a little later.
    67、 Besides its main use the noise killing system can A.make a car lighter B.make a car quieter C.reduce the cost of a silencer D.improve the performance of a silencer
    68、 The noise killing system is not yet popular mainly because A.it is still being tried out B.drivers still have their doubts C.it increases the cost of car production D.carmakers are not sure if it is necessary
    69、 回答69-88題 In July 1994, Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, was struck by 21 pieces of a comet (彗星). When the fragments (碎片)landed in the southern part of the giant planet, the explosions were watched by scientists here on earth. But what if our own planet was hit by a comet? The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two fragments will probably hit the southern part of the Earth. The news has caused panic.
     On 17 July, a fragment four kilometres wide enters the Earth' s atmosphere with a huge explosion. About half of the fragment is destroyed. But the major part survives and hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads.
    The wall of water rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometres an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned. The wave moves into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia.
     Millions of people are already dead in the southern part of the Earth, but the north won' t escape for long. Tons of broken pieces are thrown into the atmosphere by the explosions. As the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined.
    Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later civilization has collapsed. No more than 10 million people have survived.
     Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs(恐龍)were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a space fragment.
    The dinosaurs couldn't survive in the cold climate that followed and they became extinct. Will we meet the same end?
    Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the author' s description of the disaster in 2004? A.The whole world becomes extremely cold. B.All the coastal cities in Africa are destroyed. C.The whole mankind becomes extinct. D.The visit of the comet results in wars.
    70、 Why does the author mention dinosaurs at the end of the passage? A.Because they could only live in the warm climate. B.Because they once dominated the Earth. C.Because their extinction indicates future disasters. D.Because dinosaurs and humans never live in the same age.
    71、 In writing the passage, the author intends to A.give an accurate description of the possible disaster in the future B.prove that humans will sooner or later be destroyed C.tell the historical development of the Earth D.wam of a possible disaster in the future
    72、 It can be concluded that the passage is most probably part of a(n) A.horror story B.news report C.research paper D.a(chǎn)rticle of popular science
    73、回答73-92題 Forty-thousand .of the world' s young, children die every day. This is 15 million, year. Many of these deaths can be prevented. In fact, experts say, techniques now exist to save the lives of half of these children. The techniques are medically effective, simple to use and low cost. The biggest task has been to inform parents about these life-saving techniques. Diarrhea(腹瀉)is the main cause of deaths among children in developing countries. Diarrhea results when the body tries to clear itself of harmful bacteria(細菌). The body does this by getting out liquids, sometimes uncontrollably. If too much water, sugar and salt are lost in this way, the body cannot work normally. The child may die. The United Nations International Children' s Fund, UNICEF, introduces a technique. It uses a simple mixture of sugar and salt in water. The mixture does not stop diarrhea. But if used often as needed, it keeps fluid (體液)levels normal until the body has fought off the harmful bacteria. In Egypt, for example, the treatment was used in a children' s health care program in the province of Alexandria. It reduced by one-half the number of deaths caused by diarrhea. The technique has now been used throughout the country.
    According to the passage, a large number of children can be saved only when________. A.the life-saving ways are medically effective B.their parents are rich enough for the life-saving techniques C.the life-saving techniques are easy to use D.their parents learn the life-saving techniques
    74、 Which of the following situations will cause the death of a child? A.The child clears its body of bacteria. B.The body loses liquids without any control. C.The. child has diarrhea in a developing country. D.The body controls its fluid levels.
    75、 When the mixture is used, it is important to________. A.keep sugar and salt in water B.drink it as often as necessary C.take it as much as possible D.use it to kill the bacteria 第一節(jié) 短文改錯(76~85題) 76、回答76-85題 Spring has came to Ponland at last.The sky is blue. 76._________ Birds are singing on me trees,flowers are blooming,and 77._________ everyone are in a good mood.
