题目列表(包括答案和解析)

Read the following four passages．Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage．

　　I've always known that my son uses his cellphone a lot, but his cellphone bill last month really got my attention, He had received nearly 2, 000 text messages(短信), and had sent nearly as many．Of course, he was out of school for the summer, and communicating more with friends who were far away．However, I had to wonder how he found time to keep a summer job and complete a summer course in between all that typing with his thumb．

　　I was even more surprised to learn that my son is normal．Teenagers with cellphones send and receive an average of 2.272 text messages a month, Nielsen Mobile says, author of a book called The Dumbest Geheraiion：How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes(危害)Our Future

　　Some experts say that all that text messaging is making our children stupid, and unable to read nonverbal cues(非语言暗示)such as facial expressions, gestures, postures and other silent signals of mood and attitude．“Unlike telephoning, text messaging doesn^'t even allow tones or pauses to be sent to others,” says Mark Bauerlein

　　Beyond that, though, I^'m not sure I see as much harm as critics of the trend do．I^’ve written before on how I initially tried to control my sons texting．But over time, I^’ve seen that my son suffers no apparent bad effects, and that he gains a big benefit of easy and continuing contact with many friends．Also, the time he spends texting replaces the hours teenagers used to spend on the phone; he dislikes talking on the phone, and says he really doesn't need to do so to stay in touch．

　　I don't think texting makes children stupid．It may make them annoying, when they try to text and talk to you．And it may distract them from math problems or what they have to do for school．

　　I don^'t see that texting harms the ability of teenagers to communicate, either．My son is as good at interpreting nonverbal cues as any of the older members of our family．If anything, I’ve found him more engaged and easier to communicate with from a distance, since he's constantly available through texting, and responds with faithfulness and speed that any mother would find reassuring(安心的)．

(1)

　　Most of us used to seasons．Each year, spring follows winter,which follows autumn, which follows summer,which follows spring．

　　And winter is colder than summer．But the earth goes through temperature cycles over much longer periods than those that we experience．

　　Between 65,000 and 35,000 years ago, the planet was much colder than it is now．During that time the temperature also changed a lot, with periods of warming and cooling．Ice melted during the warm,periods．which made seal levels rise．Water froze again during the cold periods．

　　A new study from Switzerland sheds light on where ice sheets melted during the ice age．

　　It now seems that the ice melted at both ends of the earth, rather也all just in either northern or southern areas．This surprised the researchers from the University of Bern．

　　Scientists have long assumed(认为)that most of the ice that melted was in the Northern hemisphere(半球)during the 30,000-year-long ice age．That belief was held because the North Pole is surrounded by land while the South Pole is surrounded by the Antarctic Ocean．It is easier for ice sheets to grow on land．If surrounded．by sea,the ice Call easily just slip to the ocean instead of building up．

　　The researchers used a computer model to look at the ways the ice could melt And how it might affect sea levels．They compared these results to evidence(迹象)of how temperature and currents actually changed during that time．

　　The model showed that if it was only in the Northern hemisphere that ice melted, there would be a bigger effect on ocean currents(洋流)and sea temperatures than what actually happened, Studies suggest that melting just in the Southern hemisphere would have been impossible, too．

　　The only reasonable conclusion．the scientists could make．was that the ice melted equally in the North and the South．

　　It is still mystery(谜)as to what caused the temperature changes that caused the ice to melt．

(1)

We can learn from the text that ________．
[　　]
A．	We have experienced temperature cycles since they began
B．	what caused the ice to melt is still unknown
C．	the planet was much colder than it is now between 65, 000 and 35, 000 years ago．during which time temperature hardly change
D．	before the new study, scientists long believed that ice melted just in either northern of southern areas．

(2)

[　　]
A．	throws doubts on
B．	beats down
C．	makes it clear
D．	makes light of

(3)

B．	describe what the weather was like during the ice age

Which of the following best shows the relationship between ice, ocean currents and temperatures according to the text？
