Sectin B
Directins: Read the fllwing tw passages. Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements. Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A, B, C and D. Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have just read.
A
Have yu ever nticed the clur f the water in a river r stream after a heavy rainfall? What d yu think caused this change in clur? It is sil that has been washed int the river frm the riverbank r frm the nearby fields．
Cmpnents f Sft
Sil is made up f a number f layers(层), each having its wn distinctive clur and texture. The upper layer is knwn as the litter. It acts like a blanket, limiting temperature changes and reducing water lss. The tpsil layer is made up f small particles f rck mixed with rtten plant and animal matter called humus(腐殖质), which is black and gives the tpsil its dark clur. This layer is usually rich in nutrients, xygen, and water. Belw the tpsil is the subsil, a layer that cntains mre stnes mixed with nly small amunts f rganic matter. This layer is lighter in clur because f the lack f humus. Beneath the sil lies a layer f bedrck.
Sil frms frm the bttm up. Over time bedrck is attacked by rain, wind, frst, and snw. It is gradually brken dwn int smaller particles in a prcess called weathering. Plants begin t grw, and rtten materials enrich the tpsil. Mst f the sil in Eastern Canada, fr example, was frmed frm weathered rck that was expsed when the ice disappeared l2,000 years ag.
Water Beneath the Sil
Surface water cllects and flws abve the grund in lakes pnds, and rivers. Once in the sil r rck, it is called grundwater. Gravity pulls grundwater thrugh the sil in a prcess called perclatin(渗透). Eventually the water reaches a layer called the water table. Under this is bedrck thrugh which water cannt perclate.
As water perclates dwnward, it disslves rganic matter and minerals frm the sil and carries them t deeper layers. This causes a serius prblem because plants require these nutrients fr grwth.
Sil pH
Sil can be acidic, neutral, r basic. The pH f the sil is determined by the nature f the rck frm which it was frmed, and by the nature f the plants that grw and rt in it.
The acidity f rain and snw can lwer the pH f the grundwater that enters the sil. By burning fssil fuels such as cal, il and gasline, humans have been cntributing t higher levels f acidity in many sils. When fssil fuels are burned, gases are released int the air and then fall back t earth as acid rain. Acid sil increases the prblem f carrying nutrients t lwer sil levels. As nutrients are remved, sil is less fertile. Plants grw mre slwly in acidic sil, and als becme easily attacked by diseases.
56. The layer f sil that prvides necessary nutrients fr plant grwth is called_______.
A. litterB. tpsilC. humusD. subsil
57. Accrding t the text, which f the fllwing is NOT true?
A. Sil frms frm weathered rck n the earth surface.
B The deeper layer f sil is darker in clur than the surface sil.
C. Air pllutin is partially respnsible fr acid sil.
D. Grundwater tends t carry away nutrients fr plant grwth.
58. We can infer frm the passage that the water table lies________.
A. between the tpsil layer and the subsil layer
B. in the subsil layer abve bedrck
C. between the subsil layer and bedrck
D. in the bedrck layer beneath the subsil
59. The underlined wrd “disslve” is used t express the idea that rganic matter and minerals frm sil are__________.
A. rushed away int the river
B. cleaned and purified by water
C. destryed and carried away by water
D mixed with water and becme part f it
B

As cuntless unmade beds and unfinished hmewrk assignments prve, kids need rules. Yet hw parents make demands can pwerfully influence a child’s scial skills, psychlgists at the University f Virginia recently fund after the cnclusin n a study investigating the transitin frm adlescence t adulthd.
Initially 184 13-year-lds filled ut multiple surveys, including ne t assess hw ften their parents emplyed psychlgically cntrlling strategies, such as threatening t withdraw affectin. The kids rated, fr example hw typical it wuld be fr Dad t suggest that “if I really cared fr him, I wuld nt d things that caused him t wrry” r fr Mm t becme “less friendly when I did nt see things her way.”
The researchers fllwed up with the subjects at ages 18 and 21, asking the yung adults t bring alng a clse friend. These pairs were asked t answer questins that were purpsefully written t cause a difference f pinin. “We wanted t see whether they culd handle a disagreement in a healthy way,” says study leader Barbara Oudekerk, nw at the U.S. Department f Justice’s Bureau f Statistics.
In the Octber issue f Child Develpment, Oudekerk and her clleagues reprt that the 13-year-lds wh had highly cntrlling parents flundered in friendly disagreements at age 18. They had difficulty stating their pinins in a cnfident, reasned manner in cmparisn t the kids withut cntrlling parents. And when they did speak up, they ften failed t express themselves in warm and prductive ways.
The researchers suspect that cntrlling parents affect their child’s ability t learn hw t argue his r her wn viewpint in ther relatinships. Althugh parents d need t set bundaries， dminating strategies imply that any disagreement will damage the bnd itself. Separate findings suggest that parents wh explain the reasns behind their rules and turn disagreements int cnversatins leave yungsters better prepared fr future disagreements.
The cnsequences f tense r dminating relatinships appear t wrsen with time. This study als fund that scial difficulties at 18 predicted even prer cmmunicatin abilities at age 21. Psychlgist Shmuel Shulman f Bar-llan University in Israel, wh did nt participate in the wrk, thinks these cnclusins cnvincingly reveal hw relatinship patterns “carry frward” int new friendships.
63. What did the researchers frm the University f Virginia d in their research?
A. They asked kids abut hw they gt alng with their parents.
B. They surveyed sme parents abut what rules kids needed.
C. They inquired int what the kids’ friends thught f them.
D. They traced their subjects fr nearly eight years.
64. The phrase “flundered in” (in paragraph 4) is clsest in meaning t ___.
A. struggled withB. dealt withC. lked verD. tk ver
65. What can be inferred frm the passage?
A. Shmuel Shulman thinks mre evidence is needed fr the new research.
B. Cntrlling parents’ influence n their kids gets strnger as time ges by.
C. 21-year-lds are mre eager t be free f parents’ cntrl than 18-year-lds.
D. Kids can handle disagreement better if their parents get alng well with each ther.
66. What is the passage mainly abut?
A. Pushy parents culd harm their kids’ scial skills.
B. Kids shuld learn what friendly disagreements are.
C. Parents; affectin matters in terms f kids; persnality.
D. Few parents explain the reasns why they set bundaries.
Sectin C
If wmen are mercilessly explited year after year, they have nly themselves t blame. ____67____ Clthes which have been wrn nly a few times have t be put aside because f the change f fashin. When yu cme t think f it, nly a wman is capable f standing in frnt f a wardrbe packed full f clthes and annuncing sadly that she has nthing t wear.
____68____ Many wmen spend vast sums f mney each year t replace clthes that have hardly been wrn. Wmen wh cannt affrd t thrw away clthing in this way, waste hurs f their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened r shrtened; necklines are lwered r raised, and s n.
N ne can claim that the fashin industry cntributes anything really imprtant t sciety. Fashin designers are rarely cncerned with vital things like warmth, cmfrt and durability. ____69____ There can hardly be a man wh hasn’t at sme time in his life smiled at the sight f a wman shaking in a thin dress n a winter day, r delicately picking her way thrugh deep snw in high-heeled shes.
When cmparing men and wmen in the matter f fashin, the cnclusins t be drawn are bvius.

Small businesses hld the key t emplyed happiness. As the calendar flips t anther year, many emplyees will cnsider starting the new year n the hunt fr a new jb.
In tday’s changing wrkfrce, it is mre imprtant than ever fr cmpanies t realize that a salary alne is n lnger enugh t attract r retain strng emplyees.
Accrding t a survey by Aflac, small business deserve a rund f applause fr their ability t keep emplyees happy. The reprt fund that 85 percent f small-business emplyees are happy in their current jb, and mre than half（51 percent）agree that mst f r all f their happiness in their current jb is a result f wrking fr a small business.
Nearly a quarter f participants（23 percent）stated that the feeling f imprtance was the best part f wrking fr a small business. Small businesses have the unique ability t make emplyees feel appreciated, respected and valued n a persnal and prfessinal level.
In a small-business envirnment, there are typically fewer layers between newcmers and leadership. This tight-knit structure can create a family-like atmsphere that allws emplyees t feel that their pinins matter and that they play a significant rle in the business’s missin.
Flexibility is als vital in creating emplyee happiness. Accrding t the reprt, 30 percent f respndents nted that flexible scheduling was the best part f wrking fr a small business. A wrkplace that prmtes healthy wrk-life balance can create happier, less stressed emplyees and can als increase prductivity.
Althugh small business excel at keeping emplyees happy, there is always rm fr imprvement. In a small-business cmmunity, mney des nt seem t be the nly mtivatr. In fact, 65 percent f small-business emplyees indicate that an imprvement in their benefits fferings wuld make them happier.
By ffering a great benefits plan that includes vluntary benefits, small business can ensure that their emplyees are able t find the right benefits t meet their individual needs.

Abut Old Faithful —The Mst Famus Geyser (间歇性喷泉) in the Wrld
Discvered in 1870 by the Washburn Expeditin, Old Faithful geyser was named fr its frequent eruptins (喷发) — which number mre than a millin since Yellwstne became the wrld’s first natinal park in 1872.
When des Old Faithful erupt?
Basic predictin f Old Faithful is dependent upn the duratin f the previus eruptin. During visitr center hurs, geyser statistics and predictins are maintained by the naturalist staff. Peple speak f the average time between eruptins. This is misleading. The mathematical average between eruptins f Old Faithful is currently 74 minutes, but it desn’t like t act average! Intervals can range frm 60-110 minutes. Visitrs can check fr psted predictin times in mst buildings in the Old Faithful area.
Hw high des Old Faithful erupt and hw lng will it last?
Old Faithful can vary in height frm 100–180 feet with an average near 130–140 feet. This has been the histrical range f its recrded height. Eruptins nrmally last between 1.5 t 5 minutes.
I heard Old Faithful isn’t as faithful as it used t be. Is it slwing dwn?
It depends n what yu call faithful. The famus geyser currently erupts arund 20 times a day and can be predicted with a 90 percent cnfidence rate within a 10 minute variatin. Prir t the 1959 earthquake, Old Faithful erupted 21 times per day. That’s a significant decrease in activity fr gelgists tracking each eruptin, but t visitrs seeing ne r tw eruptins…it lks just fine.
Hw many gallns f water are expelled during an eruptin?
It depends n the duratin f the eruptin. Scientists estimate that the amunt ranges frm 3,700 gallns (fr a shrt duratin f 1.5 minutes) t 8,400 gallns (fr a lnger duratin f 4.5 minutes).
Hw ht is the water in Old Faithful?
During an eruptin, the water temperature at the vent has been measured at 204°F (95.6°C). The steam temperature has been measured abve 350°F!
