Section B
Directions: There are several passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.
∙ Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
When astronaut Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon for the first time, on July 20, 1969, it represented one of the most inspiring achievements in man's history to millions of people throughout the world. But to a small organization called the International Flat Earth Research Society, it was nothing more than a piece of cleverly stage-managed science-fiction trickery.
Armstrong's historic words when stepping down from the Eagle module (宇宙飞船船舱) onto the dusty lunar surface about 240,000 miles from Earth — "one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind" — was a phrase that could have come only from the pen of a scriptwriter.
As for the pictures reputedly (一般被认为) taken in space showing the Earth to be a rotating sphere, well, they were just too ludicrous (可笑的) for words. "The sun", say the Flat Earthers, "circuits the Earth instead of the Earth revolving around the sun — a notion that most people take for granted."
The society, whose membership is currently estimated to be about 1,400, dismisses much of accepted modern thinking about the shape of the Earth as sheer nonsense and is convinced that the entire human race is being subjected to the greatest hoax (骗局) in history.
From its headquarters in Lancaster, California, the society wages a war of words through newsletters and pamphlets against the evils of science.
The society was founded in about 1800 in Great Britain and the United States and, says its American president Charles Johnson, was descended from the Zetetic society, which took its name from an ancient Greek philosophical school of skeptics. It survived under this name until 1956, when its general secretary, Samuel Shenton, of Kent, England, changed the name to the present title.
The society's belief is this: the Earth is flat, with the land masses grouped around the central point of the North Pole.
The Antarctic region is not the compact island mass it is commonly believed to be but an impenetrable ice-cold girdle (环形物) around the Earth. The Flat Earthers argue that the trans-antarctic expeditions have never happened. Explorers, misled by instrument faults, merely traveled an icy arc within the girdle.
21. To the International Flat Earth Research Society, man's first landing on the moon was ______.
A) one of the most inspiring events in man's history该选项共0人选择
B) only a well-conducted experiment该选项共0人选择 C) just a smartly-performed trick该选项共2人选择

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problems 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 from 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 produced, 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 fertilizers cannot restore the balance.
Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if 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 the litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms 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, excessive consumption and careless disposal of the products we use in our daily life.

A) the release of artificial or natural substances into the environment该选项共2人选择
B) the production of new industrial goods该选项共0人选择 C) increased amounts of a natural substance该选项共0人选择 D) our ever-increasing population该选项共0人选择

The accuracy of scientific observations and calculations is always at the mercy of the scientist's timekeeping methods. For this reason, scientists are interested in devices that give promise of more precise timekeeping.
In their research for precision, scientists have turned to
atomic clocks that depend on various vibrated atoms or molecules to supply their "ticking" . This is possible so each kind
of atom or molecule has its own characteristic rate of vibration. The nitrogen atom in ammonia (氨), for an example, vibrates or "ticks" 24 billion times a second.
One such atomic clock is so accurate that it will probably lose more than a second in 3,000 years. It will be of great importance in fields such as astronomy. Cesium (铯)is an atom that vibrates 9.2 billion times a second when heated to the temperature of boiled water. An atomic clock that operates with an ammonia molecule may be used to check the accuracy of predictions based on Einstein's relativity theories, according to it a clock in motion and a clock in rest should keep time differently. Placed in an orbiting satellite moving at a speed of 18,000 mile an hour, the clock could broadcast its time readings to a ground station, where they would be compared with the readings on a similar model. However differences develop would be checked against the differences predicted.

Section B
Directions: There are several passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.
∙ Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
When astronaut Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon for the first time, on July 20, 1969, it represented one of the most inspiring achievements in man's history to millions of people throughout the world. But to a small organization called the International Flat Earth Research Society, it was nothing more than a piece of cleverly stage-managed science-fiction trickery.
Armstrong's historic words when stepping down from the Eagle module (宇宙飞船船舱) onto the dusty lunar surface about 240,000 miles from Earth — "one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind" — was a phrase that could have come only from the pen of a scriptwriter.
As for the pictures reputedly (一般被认为) taken in space showing the Earth to be a rotating sphere, well, they were just too ludicrous (可笑的) for words. "The sun", say the Flat Earthers, "circuits the Earth instead of the Earth revolving around the sun — a notion that most people take for granted."
The society, whose membership is currently estimated to be about 1,400, dismisses much of accepted modern thinking about the shape of the Earth as sheer nonsense and is convinced that the entire human race is being subjected to the greatest hoax (骗局) in history.
From its headquarters in Lancaster, California, the society wages a war of words through newsletters and pamphlets against the evils of science.
The society was founded in about 1800 in Great Britain and the United States and, says its American president Charles Johnson, was descended from the Zetetic society, which took its name from an ancient Greek philosophical school of skeptics. It survived under this name until 1956, when its general secretary, Samuel Shenton, of Kent, England, changed the name to the present title.
The society's belief is this: the Earth is flat, with the land masses grouped around the central point of the North Pole.
The Antarctic region is not the compact island mass it is commonly believed to be but an impenetrable ice-cold girdle (环形物) around the Earth. The Flat Earthers argue that the trans-antarctic expeditions have never happened. Explorers, misled by instrument faults, merely traveled an icy arc within the girdle.
21. To the International Flat Earth Research Society, man's first landing on the moon was ______.
A) one of the most inspiring events in man's history该选项共0人选择
B) only a well-conducted experiment该选项共0人选择 C) just a smartly-performed trick该选项共2人选择

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problems 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 from 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 produced, 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 fertilizers cannot restore the balance.
Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if 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 the litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms 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, excessive consumption and careless disposal of the products we use in our daily life.

The accuracy of scientific observations and calculations is always at the mercy of the scientist's timekeeping methods. For this reason, scientists are interested in devices that give promise of more precise timekeeping.
In their research for precision, scientists have turned to
atomic clocks that depend on various vibrated atoms or molecules to supply their "ticking" . This is possible so each kind
of atom or molecule has its own characteristic rate of vibration. The nitrogen atom in ammonia (氨), for an example, vibrates or "ticks" 24 billion times a second.
One such atomic clock is so accurate that it will probably lose more than a second in 3,000 years. It will be of great importance in fields such as astronomy. Cesium (铯)is an atom that vibrates 9.2 billion times a second when heated to the temperature of boiled water. An atomic clock that operates with an ammonia molecule may be used to check the accuracy of predictions based on Einstein's relativity theories, according to it a clock in motion and a clock in rest should keep time differently. Placed in an orbiting satellite moving at a speed of 18,000 mile an hour, the clock could broadcast its time readings to a ground station, where they would be compared with the readings on a similar model. However differences develop would be checked against the differences predicted.
