  Dear Sirs,


  Improved ways of production make us able to offer you our


  change of Drilite batteries (电池)at a reduced price for large


  quantities.


  Further information of the new prices for your market are


  sent to you together with the letter, and you will see that

  batteries, both here in Japan and elsewhere. The quality of


  our producers


  remains the same --- only the finest chemicals are used. The


  new prices are for the least orders of 1,000 pounds and will


  begin from January 1. Immediate sending off is guaranteed

  Woman have more problems than men in old age. First of all,


  they have less money—or no money at all — and because of this,


  they often feel they get less respect , even at home. Quite a


  large number have no pension(退休费) because they have never


  worked outside the home, and thirty-eight percent are


  supported mainly by their husbands or children. Second, a


  larger number of old women than old men become window(single


  women). Men are normally older than the women they marry, and


  women generally live longer than men. The remarriage among


  older windows is lower than that among widows(single men).


  Statistics (统计) from 1990 in Shanghai show only 52 percent of


  elderly women with husbands still living, compared


  to(与---相比)82 percent of men.


  Because of lower incomes and the difficulty of remarriage,


  many elderly women who live alone, are poor and have almost no


  social life. Even an old couple lives with children, it is the


  woman who ends up doing the work around the house. She cleans


  the rooms, prepares meals, and takes care of the family. Some


  75 percent of them carry out such heavy physical tasks as


  buying and carrying grain, coal and other supplies for the


  home. How to improve the quality of life of women in their


  later years is a question that needs to be dealt with by all


  the society.


  44.If they had more money, elderly women _______.


  A. would have no more problem    B. could live a fairy life


  C. would get more respect     D. would need no care of others


  45.In Shanghai, of 150 elderly women, only ______have husbands


  still living.


  A.75.    B.52.    C.82. D.78.


  46.According to the statistics, suppose there are 150,000


  elderly men, _____of them are


  widowers.


  A.27,000 B.78,000 C.72,000 D.123,000


  47.According to the writer, _______.


  A. elderly women should be paid well B. elderly women should


  live with their families


  C. all people should do something for elderly women


  D. housework should not be done by elderly women


  D


  Our surroundings are being polluted faster than ever and it


  seems that people cannot prevent it. Time is bringing us more


  people, and more people will bring us more industry, more


  cars, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made


  materials.


  What can explain and settle this problem? The fact is that


  pollution is caused by man—by his desire(欲望) for a modern way


  of life. We make "increasing industrialization"(工业化) our first


  aim. So we are often ready to offer everything: clean air,


  pure water, good food, our health and the future of our


  children. There is a constant flow of people from the


  country-side into the cities, eager for the achievements of


  our modern society. But as our technological achievements have


  grown in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious


  problem.


  Isn't it time we stopped to ask ourslves where we are


  going—and why? It makes one think of the story about the pilot


  (飞行员) who told his passengers over the loudspeaker : "I've


  some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we 're


  making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is


  that we are lost and don't know where we're going." The sad


  fact is that this becomes a true story when speaking of our


  modern society.


  48. Man cannot prevent the world from being polluted because


  _______.


  A. the population of the world is increasing faster


  B. people use too many man-made materials


  C. we have more industry    D. we are producing more cars,


  trucks and buses


  49. According to the passage, what does man care most among


  the following?


  A. Health.  B. Industry.  C. Clean air D. The future of the


  children


  50.The story about the pilot tells us that _______.


  A. man knows where the society is going


  B. people don't welcome the rapid development of modern


  society


  C. man can do little about the problem of pollution


  D. the speaker is worried about the future of our society


  51.What dose the writer really want to say in the passage?


  A. With the development of technology, pollution has become a


  serious problem.


  B. We should control the speed of the development to stop


  pollution.


  C. It's time we did something to reduce pollution.


  D. As industry is growing fast, pollution is the natural


  result.

  A wind tunnel (风洞) is used for teasing planes or plane


  models. In a wind tunnel air is blown over a plane or a model


  placed in a test section(区).Wind tunnel test sections are


  different in size depending on airflow speed requirements.


  Some low-speed tunnels have test sections large enough for a


  complete small plane. In the very high speed tunnels used for


  space testing, however, the model may be as small as a pencil.


  There are two ways of feeding air to the test section. In


  the constant flow tunnel, airflow is produced by electric


  fans. It is forced through the tunnel to the test section,


  then through another tunnel section back to the starting point


  for reuse.


  The other way involves (卷入) storing high-pressure air in a


  box, sending it out by a controlling device(装置) to pass


  through the tunnel and test section into another box. This way


  is usually used for a very short period of high-speed airflow.


  Wind tunnels are usually used to test planes before they are


  flown. Problems in a plane can be found when it meets the


  high-speed airflow in the tunnel. For example, if the wings


  are built so that they would weaken(become weak) at high


  speeds, this fact can be discovered in the tunnel, saving many


  lives and millions of dollars.


  In a wind tunnel, scientists also find out how different


  planes will act different speeds. They find out such things as


  how the air dives by the wing surfaces, how slowly a plane can


  fly before it starts to drop, and how fast it can climb.


  52.Some wind tunnel sections are larger than others because


  ________.


  A. they are used large planes    B. stronger wind can be


  produced in them


  C. they are built to meet a higher speed test D. the wind used


  in them flows at a lower speed


  53.Which of the following shows the right way of feeding air


  to a wind tunnel section usually


  used for a high speed test?


  ( ← = wind flow = test section)


  54. "This fact" in paragraph 4 of the text refers to _______.


  A. the wing are not good enough   B. it costs a lot to test a


  plane


  C. some problems are found with the plane D. many people will


  die in a plane accident


  55. A wind tunnel can be used to find out ______.


  A. how fast a plane can rise    B. how smooth a plane's


  surface is


  C. if a plane can land in a very strong wind D. if a plane


  will drop when flying at a low height首页 1 2 3 4 5 尾页
