26、aves. There are exceptions, such as the tidal (潮汐的) waves sometimes produced by earthquakes under the sea. But the waves most of us know are produced by winds blowing over the sea. Now before constructing an imaginary life history of a typical wave, we need to know certain physical things about it.

27、A wave has height, from trough (low point) to crest (high Point). It has length-the distance from this crest to that of the following wave. The period of the wave means the time it takes for succeeding crests to pass a fixed point. None of these things stays the same-for all depend upon the wind, up

28、on the depth of the water and many other matters. The water that makes up a wave does not advance with it across the sea. Each drop of water turns around in a little circle with the passing of the wave, but returns very nearly to its original position. And it is fortunate that this is so. For if the

29、 huge masses of water that make up a wave actually moved across the sea, sailing would be impossible. If we want to find the speed of a wave, we may use the following way: Speed = wavelength frequency Here, wavelength is the distance between two high points (crests), frequency means the number of cy

30、cles per second .56. What causes waves?A. Earthquakes and nothing else. B. Only wind.C. Wind causes most waves. D. Wind causes some waves.57. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The water of a wave moves away across the sea.B. The water of a wave remains almost at the same pla

31、ce.C. The water of a wave goes with the passing of the wave.D. The length of a wave means the distance from the top of a wave to the bottom.58. The speed of Wave 1 is 100 cm/s, frequency 10. The frequency of Wave 2 is 300, while its speed is twice that of Wave 1. Which of the following is right?A. T

32、he wavelengths of the two are equal.B. The wavelength of Wave 1 is 10 times longer than that of Wave 2.C. The wavelength of Wave 2 is longer than that of Wave 1. D. The wavelength of Wave 1 is longer than that of Wave 2.BThere has been a dramatic increase in the number of natural disasters over the

33、past few years, and it is assumed that global warming and climate change could cause even more disasters in the future. Some of the worlds leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves. London Londons flood defences are getting older. Since 1982, the Thames Barrier(水闸)has protected

34、the city from the threat of flooding, but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years. About 26 years later the barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions, by 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if

35、the problem is not addressed. There are 26 underground stations, 400 schools, 16 hospitals, an airport and 80 billion worth of property(财产) in Londons flood risk area, so large scale flooding would be disastrous. Paris Over a six week period in July and August 2003, more than 11,400mainly elderly pe

36、opledied in France from dehydration(脱水)and extremely high body temperature in a deadly heat wave. Heat waves of similar intensity(强度)are expected every seven years by 2050, so what can be done to make sure such a disaster does not happen again? One solution is to have air-conditioners installed（安装）

37、in elderly care homes. But this is considered a short-term solution, as the increase in demand for electricity also increases carbon emissions(排放). In Paris the local authorities are encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such as the building “Flower Tower,” which uses a covering of

38、 bamboo to act as a natural air-conditioner.Shanghai Shanghai is the fastest growing city on Earth. It has a population of 18 million and is only 4 meters above sea level. Sea levels are predicted to rise by 20 cm within the next century. An average of 250,000 people move to Shanghai every year in s

39、earch of work, placing extra demands on energy consumption. China relies heavily on coal-fired power stations, but these emissions increase temperatures and, in turn, warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons.59. What problem should be settled now in London?A. How to protect the citys property.B. Wh

40、ere to build its flood defences. C. How to use the Thames Barrier to protect the city. D. How to improve the function of the old flood defences. 60. Which of the following measures cant solve the heat wave disaster in Paris?A. Putting up new types of buildings with a covering of bamboo. B. Having ai

41、r-conditioners installed in elderly care homes. C. Forbidding the city to build “Flower Tower”. D. Encouraging architects to design new types of buildings.61. The major threats to Shanghai are . A. increasing population and coal-fired power stations B. rising sea levels and typhoons C. extremely hig

42、h temperature and rising sea levels D. extra demands on energy consumption and typhoons62. The purpose of the passage is . A. to tell us how to protect the big cities B. to give advice on how to defend natural disasters C. to explain what causes flood and heat wavesD. to warn us of the increasing na

43、tural disasters in big citiesCExpressions about water are almost as common as water itself. The expression to be in hot water is a very old expression. Hot water was used five hundred years ago to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot wat

44、er down on enemies attacking a castle. That no longer happens. But we still get in hot water. When we are in hot water, we are in trouble. It can be any kind of trouble-serious or not so serious. A person who breaks a law can be in hot water with the police. A young boy can be in hot water with his

45、mother, if he walks in the house with dirty shoes. Being in deep water is almost the same as being in hot water. When you are in deep water, you are in a difficult position. To keep your head above water is a colorful expression that means staying out of debt. A company seeks to keep its head above

46、water during economic hard times. A man who loses his job tries to keep his head above water until he finds a new job. Water over the dam is another expression about a past event. It is something that is finished. It cannot be changed. The expression comes from the idea that water that has flowed ov

47、er a dam cannot be brought back again. Another common expression, to hold water, is about the strength or weakness of an idea or opinion that you may be arguing about. It probably comes from a way of testing the condition of a container. If it can hold water, it is strong and has no holes in it. If

48、your argument can hold water, it is strong and does not have any holes. Throwing cold water also is an expression that deals with ideas or suggestions. It means criticizing an idea. For example, you want to buy a new car because the old one has some problems. But your wife throws cold water on the i

49、dea, and she says a new car costs too much.63. If Robert says he is in deep water, we may guess _ A. he is swimming under the water B. he is tired of changing shoes C. he nearly breaks a law D. he faces a difficult choice64.

50、made? A. Keep your head above water. B. Throw cold water. C. It is water over the dam. D. It can hold water.65. If your argument doesnt hold water, then it is _ A. weak B. convincing C. logical D. disappointing66. Which of the following is the most probable title of this passage? A. Water diving int

51、o a sea of words B. Water the most natural resourceC. About water D. About expressionsDIt had been a difficult move. Id left my family and friends in Indiana, the beloved state where Id lived most of my life. My new home in Florida was thousands of miles away from anything I knew. It was hotall the

52、time. Jobs were hard to come by, but I was up for almost any challenge.At last, I taught in a special school where students have severe learning and behavioral difficulties.Another teacher and I had spent weeks teaching the children appropriate behavior for public outings. Unexpectedly, only a few s

53、tudents, including Kyle, had not earned the privilege（特权） of going. He was determined to make his disappointment known.In the corridor(走廊) between classrooms, he began screaming, cursing, spitting, and swinging at anything within striking distance. Once his outburst（愤怒） died down, he did what hed do

54、ne when he was angry at all his other schools, at home, even once at a juvenile detention(拘留)center. He ran.People watched in disbelief as Kyle dashed straight into the heavy morning traffic in front of the school.I heard someone shout, “Call the police!”But I ran after him.Kyle was at least a foot

55、taller than me. And he was fast. His older brothers were track stars at the nearby high school. But I could run long distances without tiring. I would at least be able to keep him in my sight and know he was alive.After several blocks of running directly into oncoming traffic, Kyle slowed his pace.

56、He took a sharp left. Standing next to a trash bin, Kyle bent over with his hands on his knees. I must have looked ridiculous. But his was not a look of fear. I saw his body relax. He did not attempt to run again. Kyle stood still and watched me approach. I had no idea what I was going to say or do,

57、 but I kept walking closer.He opened his mouth to speak when a police car pulled up, abruptly filling the space between Kyle and me. The school principal and an officer got out. They spoke calmly to Kyle, who willingly climbed into the back of the vehicle. I couldnt hear what was said, but I didnt t

58、ake my eyes off Kyles face, even as they drove away.I couldnt help but feel that I had failed him, that I should have done or said more, that I should have fixed the situation.I shared my feelings with a speech therapist who was familiar with Kyles history. “No one ever ran after him before, Rachel,

59、” she said. “No one. They just let him go.”Things changed the day he ran and I ran after him, even though I didnt have the right words, even though I wasnt able to save him from the mess he was in. It was the day I didnt throw my hands in the air and decide he was too fast, a waste of time and effor

60、t , a lost cause. It was the day my mere presence was enough to make a profound difference.67. From the passage we know that _.
