二、閱讀理解(16-35)

As you are students of English, it's very possible that you'll be interested in England. That's where the language was first spoken. But England is often called by other names. This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what these names mean. So, now I would like to tell you about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people use the names—England, Britain or Great Britain. Let's see what each of these names means.

If you look at a map of Europe, you'll see a group of islands—one larger island off the northwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles. The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The smaller island is Ireland.

Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the word "England" is used instead of "Britain". Why so?

In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in these different countries spoke different languages. Over many years the three countries became one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.

There's another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say "the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". That is the official name of the country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island or Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of "England", "Britain", "Great Britain", and "the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". Now do you know what each of them means?

16. English was first spoken in ______.

A. Britain B. England C. Great Britain D. Ireland

[答案]B

【精析】關鍵詞語是was first spoken.首先應迅速找出該詞語在文章中的位置，確定該題的信息在文章的前兩句中。只要讀懂原文，仔細判斷，就能找到正確答案B選項。

17. Britain is divided into ______.

A. England, Britain, and Wales

B. England, Scotland, and Wales

C. Wales, Scotland, and Great Britain

D. Great Britain, Wales, and Scotland

[答案]B

【精析】該題所包含的信息在文章第三段第一句Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England中很容易找到答案，但選擇時要細心。

18. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

A. Wales is the richest of the three.

B. Scotland is the largest of the three.

C. Sometimes England is used instead of Britain.

D. Britain is the only name of the largest island of British Isles.

[答案]C

【精析】考生應具備正確把握文中信息的能力，必須通過細心閱讀和理解，迅速確定試題正確信息在文章中的出處。本題C選項的信息在第三段第二句話中可找到。同時也可用排除法做此類題。

19. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is ______.

A. part of Britain

B. part of British Isles

C. the official name of the whole country England

D. the largest country of all mentioned in the passage

[答案]C

【精析】通過文章中最后一段前兩句的閱讀和理解，可迅速確定"The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is the official name of the whole country England"是正確答案。

20. Which of the following is an independent country?

A. Wales B. Scotland

C. Northern Ireland D. The Republic of Ireland

[答案]D

【精析】正確答案在文章中最后一段的中間The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland可迅速找到。做題的關鍵在于了解文章大意，細心選擇答案。

American society is not nap(午睡)friendly. In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvanian School of Medicine, "There's even a prohibition against admitting we need sleep." Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work. To quote a proverb: "Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and wickedness eleven."

Wrong. The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them. "We have to totally change our attitude toward napping," says Dr. William Dement of Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research.

Last year a national commission led by Dement identified an "American sleep debt" which one member said was as important as the national debt. The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness: people causing industrial accidents or falling asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House. According to recent reports, President Clinton is trying to take a half hour snooze(打瞌睡)every afternoon.

About 60% of American adults nap when given the opportunity. We seem to have "a mid afternoon quiet phase" also called "a secondary sleep gate." Sleeping 15 minutes to 2 hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed. Clearly, we were born to nap.

We Superstar of Snooze don't nap to replace lost shut eye or to prepare for a night shift. Rather, we "snack" on sleep, whenever, wherever and at whatever time we feel like it. I myself have napped in buses, cars, planes and boats; on floors and beds; and in libraries, offices and museums.

21. It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep is ______.

A. unreasonable B. criminal C. harmful D. costly

As scientists learn more about the causes of earthquakes, they become better able to predict them. First of all, they know that quakes are likely to occur in areas where the tectonic plates(地層地殼板塊)push against each other. They study these areas closely, using different instruments. They measure the vibrations of the earth with seismographs(地震儀), which record on rolls of paper all movements, both large and small. Scientists usually use the Richter scale(里希特震級儀)named after a famous seismologist(地震學家), for these measurements. When an earthquake measures over 4~5 on the Richter scale, it is strong enough to cause damage. Scientists have determined that an area is not likely to have a large earthquake when many small quakes have been occurring. When the small quakes stop, then pressure builds and a strong quake is more likely.

There are several other ways to predict earthquakes. Scientists can measure the tiny changes in the tilt(傾斜)of the land that happen before earthquakes occur. Increases in the amount of radon(氡), a substance found in deep wells, as well as a higher level of water in the wells, can also mean that an earthquake is likely to occur. In addition, scientists have found that some animals, like dogs, behave strangely before an earthquake, they become nervous and howl(號叫). Seismologists have correctly predicted several earthquakes. In 1975, they said that an earthquake would occur in Liaoning Province, China, one month, and then one hour, before it happened. In 1978, Russian scientists predicted an earthquake in the Altai Mountains six hours before it occurred. However, not all earthquakes are predictable, and a system for predicting is not yet perfected. Nothing on this earth is certain. Although people who live in California and Japan live with the possibility of a serious quake, perhaps the next strong earthquake will occur somewhere outside the "Ring of Fire".

26. According to the information in Para. 1 seismograph is ______.

A. a computer like electronic instrument for predicting earthquakes

B. a special instrument for recording and measuring the vibrations of the earth

C. an instrument which seismologists use to make studies on the causes of earthquakes

D. an instrument with which seismologists measure the pressure between tectonic plates

[答案]B

【精析】文章第一段"They measure the vibrations of the earth with seismographs(地震儀), which record on rolls of paper all movements, both large and small."故B正確。

27. According to the passage, a large earthquake is most likely to occur in an area ______.

A. where a series of minor vibrations of the earth have been occurring

B. that is within the "Ring of Fire" but does not see any vibration of the earth

C. where many small vibrations of the earth have been occurring and then a calm period follows

D. where tectonic plates fit into each other properly

[答案]C

【精析】第一段最后兩句話"Scientists have determined that…then pressure builds and a strong quake is more likely"與C選項吻合，故C正確。

28. The following signs that show the coming of an earthquake are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT that ______.

A. the amount of radon in deep wells increases

B. the earth gives off flashes of light

C. the level of water in the wells rises

D. some animals become nervous and behave strangely

[答案]B

【精析】第二段"There are several other ways to predict earthquakes…"可知B不是地震來臨的現(xiàn)象。

29. According to the passage, the earthquake occurred in China's Liaoning Province in 1975 ______.

A. was twice predicted by seismologists

B. took all the people in the area by surprise
