    D
    An altimeter(高度计) is an instrument used in an airplane to tell the pilot how high he is flying. The altimeter used in most airplanes is a kind of barometer(气压计), which, like barometer found in ordinary homes, is a measuring instrument for air pressure. The weight of the atmosphere presses downwards everywhere. At sea level this pressure is more than 14 pounds on every square inch of the surface. The higher you go into the air, the lower the air pressure is. An altimeter measures this air pressure to show the altitude of the airplane, or, how high it is above sea level.
    But the altimeter does not show how high the plane is above the ground. A plane might be flying at an altitude of 15,000 feet, but it would be only a thousand feet or so above the ground if the land in that area happened to be 14,000 feet above sea level. The pilot adjusts his altimeter to the actual sea-level pressure before leaving the airport and then corrects it in flight by new information given to him by radio. He flies high enough to be above any mountain he may pass on his course .The barometer altimeter is correct within about 300 feet.
    Another kind of altimeter, the radio altimeter, makes use of radio reflection. It calculates the height of the flying plane by sending out electrical signals to the surface below and measuring the time required for them to bounce back(反弹). It is correct within 15 feet over water, but is not reliable over land. Big planes usually have both kinds of altimeter.
    67. Which of the following diagrams gives the correct relationship between altimeters and barometers? (a----altimeters, b----barometers)

    68. The following drawing shows a plane flying over a mountain. Which of the heights given in the drawing is given by the barometer altimeter in the plane at this moment?

    69. Suppose a plane using a radio altimeter is flying 10,000 meters above highland which is 4,000 meters above sea level. What reading will be given by the altimeter?
    A.10,000meters.   B. 4,000meters.    C.14,000meters.    D. 6,000 meters.
    70. Suppose a plane using both kinds of altimeters is flying over a mountainous area where the land rises and falls very abruptly (迅速地). The pilot keeps his plane steady at the same height. What kind of reading will you get on each of the altimeters?
    A. The readings on both altimeters will remain steady.
    B. The readings on both altimeters will rise and fall abruptly.
    C. The readings on the barometer altimeter will rise and fall abruptly, while that on the radio altimeter will remain steady.
    D. The readings on the radio altimeter will rise and fall abruptly, while that on the barometer altimeter will remain steady.

    There’re five people at our table, including myself. I’ve already learnt a great deal about them in the short time we’ve been at sea, although we rarely meet except at meal times.
    First of all, there’s Dr Stone. He’s a man of about sixty five, with gray hair and a friendly face. He gave up his work a short while ago and is now traveling round the world before he retires to some quiet country village. As a young man, he served for many years as a doctor in the army and visited many countries. He’s told us a lot about the city to which we are going.
    Then there’s “Grandmother”. I call her that because her name escapes me. In spite of being a grandmother, she looks rather young, not more than fifty, she’s on her way to visit a daughter who went to Australia some years ago. Naturally she is very excited at the thought of seeing her again, and her three grandchildren, whom she has never seen.
    Then there’s a man I don’t care for very much, an engineer by the name of Barlow. He has been on leave in England and is now returning to his work in Singapore.
    The other person who sits at our table is Mrs. Hunt. I’ve found out hardly anything about her. She’s extremely quiet and rarely talks, except to consult（咨询）the doctor about children’s various illness. She’s on her way to join her husband in India.
    64. What can we know about Mr. Stone?
    A. He is a doctor in the army now.
    B. He is going to give up his work.
    C. He knows a lot about the city the author is going to.
    D. He has been retired for many years.
    65. The writer calls the second person “Grandmother” because_______.
    A. she looks old                             B. She has three daughters
    C. he respects her                                D. he can’t think of her name
    66. Which of the following is TRUE?
    A. Dr Stone lives in a quiet village now.       B. “Grandmother” is an Australian.
    C. Barlow works in Singapore                      D. Mrs Hunt is a woman of many words.

    Part B: Reading Comprehension 20%
    A
    Backpacks are convenient. They can hold your books, your lunch, and a change of clothes, leaving your hands free to do other things. Someday, if you don’t mind carrying a heavy load, your backpack might also power your MP3 player, keep your cell phone running, and maybe even light your way home.
    Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass., have invented a backpack that makes electricity from energy produced while its wearer walks.
    The backpack’s electricity-creating powers depend on springs used to hang a cloth pack from its metal frame. The frame sits against the wearer’s back, and the whole pack moves up and down as the person walks. A mechanism with gears(传动装置) collects energy from this motion and transfers it to an electrical generator.
    Surprisingly, the researchers found, people walk differently when they wear the springy packs. As a result, wearers use less energy than when carrying regular backpacks. Also, the way the new packs ride on wearers’ backs makes them more comfortable than standard packs.
    The backpack could be especially useful for soldiers, scientists, mountaineers, and emergency workers who typically carry heavy backpacks. These people often rely on global positioning system(GPS) receivers, night-vision goggles(夜视镜), and other battery-powered devices to get around and do their work. Because the pack can make its own electricity, users don’t need to give up space in their packs to lots of extra batteries.
    For the rest of us, power-generating backpacks could make it possible to walk, play video games, watch TV, and listen to music, all at the same time. Electricity-generating packs aren’t on the market yet, but if you do get one eventually, just make sure to look both ways before crossing the street!
    65. The passage introduces a new kind of ______ backpack.
    A．electronicB．electricity-producing
    C．electron-generatingD．electricity-controlling
    66. The new backpack makes use of ______ to produce power.
    batteries placed at the bottom of the frame
    the motion of the pack while the wearer walks
    energy the wearer consumes for carrying the pack
    the collective motion of a mechanism and some gears
    67. From the passage, we can infer that ______.
    the backpacks of mountaineers may become smaller in the future
    the new backpack can hardly be produced due to its potential danger
    the new backpack will someday replace MP3 players and cell phones
    the backpack will also provide electricity for lighting our houses
    68. An enormous disadvantage of power-generating backpacks might be that ______.
    they may stop working at any time
    it takes quite a while to have the energy transferred
    they may distract the wearer’s attention from road safety
    they will be extremely heavy with the mechanism

    B
    People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man's release of completely new and often artificial substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance , such as oil tankers into the sea．
    The whole industrial process which makes many of the goods and machines we need and use in our daily lives, is bound to create a number of waste products which upset the environmental balance, or the ecological balance as it is also known. Many of these waste products can be prevented or disposed of sensibly, but clearly while more and more new and complex goods are produce there will be new, dangerous wastes to be disposed of, for example, the waste products from nuclear power stations. Many people, therefore, see pollution as only part of a larger and more complex problem, that is, the whole process of industrial production and consumption of goods. Others again see the problem mainly in connection with agriculture, where new methods are helping farmers grow more and more on their land to feed our ever-increasing populations. However, the land itself is gradually becoming worn out as it is being used in some cases, too heavily, and artificial fertilizer cannot restore the balance.
    Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up three or four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cannot be reused． This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in term of glass, metals and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying ,excess consumption and careless disposal of the products we use in our daily lives.
    45．The underlined phrase “disposed of ”in the second paragraph means_______.
    A． dealt with               B． exposed 
    C． disapproved of           D． collected
    46． In the writer’s view ,the more new goods, _______.
    A． the less pollution             
    B． the harder pollution can be prevented
    C． the more pollution there will be
    D． the more easily pollution can be controlled
    47．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
    A． We can do much to reduce pollution.
    B． The government is trying hard to stop pollution.
    C． Individuals know how to get rid of the habit of littering everywhere.
    D． We can’t stop buying unnecessary things.
    48． People can help solve the problem of pollution by _______.
    A． urging their governments to control litter and waste
    B． making anti-pollution advertisements
    C． cutting down the use of oil and other oil products
    D． reducing unnecessary buying, over-consumption and careless disposal of wastes

    A Subway Superhero
    Wesley Autrey can't fly, but he is still being called a real-life Superman! Last week, the brave 50-year-old rescued Cameron Hollopeter, 20, from being hit by a train. The train was entering a subway station in New York City. The young man had fallen from the station's platform and onto the train tracks a few feet below.
    Autrey, a construction worker and Navy veteran(老兵), was with his two young daughters when he saw Hollopeter fall. Autrey made a quick decision and jumped onto the tracks. He then rolled himself and Hollopeter into a gap, or opening, between the rails. Autrey used his own body to protect the young man.
    Five of the train’s cars passed over the two before stopping completely. The two men were both unharmed. Hollopeter’s stepmother, Rachel Hollopeter, called Autrey an “angel”. Autrey visited the New York Film Academy student in the hospital on Wednesday.
    For his bravery, Autrey was given a hero's welcome at City Hall. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg presented Autrey with the Bronze Medallion (铜奖章）. It is the city'’s highest award for achievements by its citizens. Mayor Bloomberg called Audrey “ a great man-a man who makes us all proud to be New Yorkers."
    After the ceremony at City Hall, a limousine (豪华轿车)took Autrey to a meeting with multimillionaire businessman Donald Trump. Trump awarded Autrey with $ 10,000. The heroic father also received $ 5,000 from the New York Film Academy, a trip to Disney World, and one year of free sub way rides.
    Even after all this attention; Autrey still doesn't see himself as a Superman.” I did it out of a split-second reaction," Autrey said on CBS' The Early Show. "And if I had to do it again, I probably would."

    A. a cheque of $10,000                    B. a limousine
    C. the Bronze Medallion                   D. a cheque of $5,000
    59. It can be inferred that if Autrey met with another accident like this one, he
    A. would not do it again for he was afraid of losing his own life

    Many Older Doctors Plan to Give up Their Practice
    The results of a new survey indicate that 48 percent of physicians between 50 and 65 years of age are planning to reduce or end their clinical practice in the next l to 3 years. The findings also suggest that many older physicians believe that their younger counterparts do not have the work ethic they do.
    The survey, which was conducted by Merritt Hawkins＆Associates, a Texas-based physician search and consulting firm, suggests that many older physicians are simply unhappy with the changes that have taken place in medicine over the years.
    "When Baby Boom doctors entered medicine, they had control over how they practiced and the fee they charged. But the rules changed on them in mid-stream and now many are looking for a ticket out," Mark Smith, executive vice president of Merritt Hawkins＆Associates, said in a statement.   "Our study is the only one I am aware of that examines the career plans of physicians in the 50-to-65 age group." This age group represents more than one-third of all physicians in the U. S. If they stop working in the coming years, it will have a "significant impact" on the overall supply of physicians, Smith told Reuters Health.
    The results of the survey, which included 1,170 respondents（调查对象）, show that 24 percent of older physicians are planning to leave clinical practice all together in the next 1 to 3 years. Specifically, 14 percent said they were planning on retiring, 7 percent said they were looking for a medical job in a non-patient care setting, and 3 percent said they were seeking a job in a non-medical field.
    For those physicians not leaving clinical practice, many said they would make changes to reduce the number of patients they treat. For instance, 12 percent said they would begin working part-time, 8 percent said they planned to stop taking new patients or markedly reduce their patient load, and 4 percent expressed a desire to work on a temporary basis.
    When asked about the work ethic of physicians entering practice today, 68 percent of the respondents said that these younger doctors are not as dedicated or as hard working as physicians who entered practice 20 t0 30 years ago. Fifty-seven percent of older physicians said they would not recommend medicine as a career to their own children. Similarly, 44 percent said they would not select medicine as a career if they were starting out today.   
    "The most ominous（不祥的）finding is that about one half of physicians surveyed plant to either abandon patient care in the next 1 to 3 years, or significantly reduce the number of patients they see," Smith said. "The U. S. already is facing a widespread shortage of physicians. Should older, ‘workhorse' physicians choose to give up patient care, access to medical services will be further restricted."
    66. Which is NOT true of physicians in the 50-to-65 age group in the U. S.?
    A. They are mostly baby boomers.
    B. They have nothing to complain about.
    C. Many of them plan to gradually stop their practice.
    D. They account for over one-third of all physicians in the country.  
    67. The survey was focused on         .
    A. the living conditions of older physicians in the U. S.
    B. the career plans of older physicians in the U. S.
    C. the retirement plans of older physicians in the U. S.
    D. the achievements of older physicians in the U.S.
    68. Many older physicians in the U. S. view the work ethic of their younger
    counterparts        .
    A. with appreciation    B. with disapproval    C. with jealous        D. with indifference
    69. In the eyes of many older physicians, medicine         .
    A. comes first in their choice of a career for their children
    B. remains their lifelong pursuit
    C. is not as good a career as it used to be
    D. is more demanding than it used to be
    70. If many older physicians stop working in the coming years, Americans will have         .
    A. even less access to medical services         B. even better patient care
    C. a shortage of younger physicians             D. more job opportunities

       In the future your automobile will run on water instead of gas! You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket! You might even drive a flying car!
    For each prediction that has come true today, several others have missed by a mile. Many of these predictions didn’t consider how people would want to use the technology, or if people really needed it in their lives or not. Let’s look at some predictions from the not-too-distant past.
    Robot Helpers
    Where’s the robot in my kitchen? Nowhere, of course. And he’s probably not coming anytime soon. Robots do exist today, but mostly in factories and other manufacturing environments.
    Back in the 1950s, however, people said that by now personal robots would be in most people’s homes.
    So why hasn’t it happened?  Probably because robots are still too expensive and clumsy. And maybe the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too weird. At home we seem to be doing fine without them.
    Telephones of Tomorrow
    In 1964 an American company introduced the video telephone. They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes. But of course the idea hasn’t caught on yet.
    Why? The technology worked fine, but it over—looked something obvious: people’s desire for privacy. Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just step out of the shower?  Probably not---it could be embarrassing! Just because a technology available doesn’t always mean people will want to use it.
    And finally, how about that crazy prediction of the flying car? It’s not so crazy anymore! But a flying car remains one of the most fascinating technology ideas to capture our imagination. Keep watching the news, or perhaps the sky outside your window, to see what the future will bring.
    64. The whole passage is mainly about ________________.
    A. predictions that have come true.
    B. predictions that haven’t come true.
    C. why predictions don’t come true easily.
    D. what technology will bring about.
    65. The author of this passage won’t believe that _________________.
    A. predictions needn’t consider people’s practical use of technology.
    B. the future isn’t always easy to guess.
    C. not all past predictions have come true.
    D. many of the high—tech things our parents thought we’d be using by now simply never appeared.
    66. The underlined word “weird” probably means __________.
    A. wonderful   B. stupid    C. practical    D. strange
    67. What does the author think of the flying car?
    A. It is too difficult to imagine.
    B. It is too crazy an idea.
    C. It is likely to be made.
    D. It is often reported in the news.
