A collection of more than 30,000 ancient fossils, including dinosaur skeletons, are facing the risk of destruction in Hebei Province, north China, unless effective measures are taken to protect them from further damage. Because of a lack of funding and appropriate protection 41 , the fossils were beginning to weather and oxidize. If the situation 42 , these fossils will become 43 a pile of dust. In a showroom without any temperature or humidity-setting facilities, the fossils are 44 in and around a sand pan, 45 with thick dust. Most of the collection is a 20 – metre – long, five – metre – high skeleton believed to have existed in the late Cretacuous period, when dinosaurs began to become 46 . It is rare 47 anywhere in the world. It took five years to unearth and clean up the skeleton, and 70 percent of the bones where found and pieced together. It’s a pity that the 48 skeleton could not be 49 or made available for research as there were no exhibition halls or protection facilities. The local government has begun to take notice of the problem. Recently experts and local officials have sat together to discuss the possibility of raising funds to build a provincial nature museum. III. Reading Comprehension: Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In 50 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend quickly can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 51 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 52 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency (缺陷) 53 in the actual stuff of language itself-words. Taken individually, words have 54 meaning until they are strung together into
phrased, sentences and paragraphs. 55 however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to 56 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over 9 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 57 down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as one reads.
To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 58 , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 59 the reader finds comfortable, in order to“stretch”him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 60 word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization, practically impossible. At first 61 is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 62 your comprehension will improve. Many people have found their reading skill greatly improved after some training. 63 Charlce Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute before the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can 64 a lot more reading material in a short period of time. 50.A.applying B.doing C.offering D.getting 51.A.good B.eager C.poor D.urgent 52.A.training B.habits C.situations D.custom 53.A.lies B.combines C.touches D.involves 54.A.some B.a lot C.little D.dull 55.A.Fortunately B.In fact C.Logically D.Unfortunately 56.A.reuse B.reread C.rewrite D.recite 57.A.scales B.cuts C.slows D.measures 58.A.accelerator B.actor C.applicator D.observer 59.A.then B.as C.beyond D.than 60.A.enabling B.leading C.making D.indicating 61.A.meaning B.comprehension C.content D.regression 62.A.but B.nor C.or D.for 63.A.Look at B.Take C.Make D.Consider 64.A.master B.go over C.present D.get through Section B
Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
After numerous false starts and broken promises, and nearly 184m gallons of crude oil gushed into the ecologically rich waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill was at last brought under control on July 16. So far, both the long – term effects of the oil spill have been studied comprehensively.
According to the report by Friends of the Earth US, in the 85 days of the leak, 1,387 birds, 444 sea turtles, and 53 mammals were found dead in the Gulf. Nonetheless, the damage yet to be revealed will be far worse than a few dead birds and tar balls along 500 miles of coast. Dolphins, whale sharks and sea turtles numbers will almost certainly have been hit hard, and some populations may not ecover for years. Fish and shrimp – breeding habitats will have been hit.
