Part III: Reading in Depth

If the salinity(含盐量)of ocean waters is analyzed,it is found to vary only slightly from place to place.Nevertheless,some of these small changes are impotant.There are three basic processes that cause a change in oceanic salinity.One of these is the subtraction of water from the ocean by means of evaporation—conversion of liquid water to water vapour.In this manner,the salinity is increased,since the salts stay behind.If this is carried to the extreme,of course,white crystals of salt would be left behind; this, by the way,is how much of the table salt we use is actually obtained. The opposite of evaporation is precipitation(降水),such as rain,by which water is added to the ocean.Here the ocean is being diluted(冲淡)so that the salinity is decreased.This may occur in areas of high rainfall or in coastal regions whererivers flow into the ocean.Thus salinity may be increased by the substraction of the water by evaporation,or decreased by the addition of fresh water by precipitation or runoff. Normally,in tropical regions where the sun is very strong,the ocean salinity is somewhat higher than it is in other parts of the world where there is not as much evaporation.Similarly,in coastal regions where rivers dilute the sea,salinity is somewhat lower than in other oceanic areas. A third process by which salinity may be altered is associated with the formation and melting of sea ice.When seawater is frozen,the dissolved materials are left behind.In this manner,seawater directly beneath freshly formed sea ice has a higher salinity than it did before the ice appeared.Of course,when this ice melts,it will tend to decrease the salinity of the surrounding water. In the Weddell Sea,of America,the densest water in the oceans is formed as a result of this freezing process,which increases the salinity of cold water.This heavy water sinks and is found in the deeper portions of the oceans of the world. 1. All of the following are processes that decrease salinity except ____. A.runoff B.evaporation C.melting D.precipitation 2. The salinity of the oceanic water is generally higher in ____.  A.tropical areas B.coastal regions  C.turbulent areas D.rainy regions

3. The Weddell Sea is mentioned in the passage to ____.

 A.give an example of coldwater salinity B.point out the location of deep waters C.compare Antarctic waters with Arctic waters D.indicate that this body of water has salinity variations 4. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE,according to the passage?  A.Various factors combine to cause variations in the salinity of water.  B.As a result of the formation of ocean ice water salinity decreases. C.The salinity of the water near the bottom of the oceans is relatively high.  D.In coastal areas the ocean is diluted by rivers. 5. The major points discussed in the passage is ____. A.the subtraction of water B.the conversion of liquid water to water vapour C.the salinity of ocean water D.the effect of precipitation on the salinity of ocean water

Part IV: Fast Reading

Passage I

The American Character

When visitors from abroad undertake to describe the American character, the results are frequently puzzling to Americans.

\\

\play.\

\

There is, of course, no single pattern of American character any more than there is a single English or Turkish or Chinese character. Personality in America is further complicated by our diverse racial and origins, by successive waves of immigration from all parts of the world, by our regional diversities. It is complicated by several hundred varieties of religious beliefs with their varying impact on the believers. It is further diversified by the generation to which the person

belongs-first generation immigrant, second generation child of immigrants, and on down the line.

The temptation is strong to lump all Americans together. Yet those who look a little deeper are puzzled by the seeming contradictions in American life. It is true that Americans as a whole work hard. But they also play hard. They spend more time and money in traveling, camping, hunting, watching sports, drinking, smoking, going to movies, watching television and reading newspapers and magazines than any other people in the world. Yet they also spend more money on churches, social services, hospitals and all kinds of charities. They are always in a hurry, yet they spend more time relaxing.

Success as a Goal

One thing almost everyone is agreed on, including Americans, is that they place a very high valuation upon success. Success does not necessarily mean material rewards, but recognition of some sort-preferably measurable.

In history, there was the richness of opportunity in a land waiting to be settled. There was the lack of a settled society with fixed ranks and classes, so that a man was certain to rise through achievement. So not to strive, not to take advantage of the opportunities in such a world, not to succeed where success was so available-these things naturally became a sort of crime against the state. To develop the resources of a new country required energetic people, bent upon using their energies-not only for the rewards that would result to themselves, but even more important, to the community. Therefore, material success in the United States is not looked upon as selfish. Its results are seen to have commercial value.

A society which values competition so highly is inevitably an aggressive one, even though the laws carefully limit the forms aggression may take. It has a toughness which is good for the development of the economy. Since high respects are given to the successful, the rewards are high. Money is rarely cherished for itself in America; it is rather a symbol and a tool. As a man's status rises, the demands upon him also increase. He is expected to give generously to the hundreds of voluntary associations, which serve the community. Look at the Who's Who entry for any prominent businessman, and you are likely to find him involved in an amazing number of committees and associations organized for the public good.

Since there are no limits of class, there are, in theory, no limits to what he can achieve. As any boy can become President, striving is a moral obligation. Achievement, not class, is the standard by which men are judged. The real test is how far you climb from where you started.

Americans love work. It is meat and drink to them. In recent years they have learned how to play, but they make work of that too. If it's skiing, they throw themselves at it with an effort that would kill a horse. If it's a vacation, they travel at sixty miles an hour, pause only long enough to snap pictures, and then discover what it was they went to see when they get home and look at the photographs.

Americans like to be handy at all things. Nearly everyone knows how to use tools, make simple repairs to plumbing or electrical fixtures, refinish furniture or paint a wall. Far from being thought a disgrace if he performs these \how to perform them.

Along with this urge to be jack-of-all-trades goes a willingness to change from one occupation to another. It surprises no one in America when the banker's son becomes a farmer or vice versa. Or when a college professor shifts into industry, or a young man who starts out with a truck purchased on credit ends up running an enterprise with fleets of trucks spanning several states.

What is an American?

\make you out,\to the American, \you are very simple or very deep.\

conclude that Americans are childish. But one cannot accurately call one society mature, another immature. Each has its own logic.

What is it then that makes Americans recognizable wherever they go? Free from the social restraints which would make them act very differently at home, they are bent on making the most of this freedom. Americans carry with them an appearance, which is more a result of attitude than of clothing. This attitude combines a lack of class consciousness, a somewhat cheerful optimism and an inquisitiveness(好打听别人的事情) which look to the European like naivety. Also a liking for facts and figures, and above all a desire to be friendly.

To sum up, American characteristics are the product of response to an unusually competitive situation combined with unusual opportunity.

Americans are a peculiar people. They work like mad, then give away much of what they earn. They play until they are exhausted, and call this a vacation. They love to think of themselves as tough-minded businessmen, yet they are pushovers(易于征服的人) for any hard luck story. They have the biggest of nearly everything including government, motorcars and debts, yet they are afraid of bigness. They also have the most traffic deaths, the most waste, the most racketeering(敲诈勒索).

There is, of course, no typical American. But if you added them all together and then divided by 226,000,000 they would look something like what this essay has tried to portray.?

Questions:

1. Unlike the English, Turkish, or Chinese, Americans don't have a uniform pattern of character.

2. Americans attach great importance to success though they don't equate success with materials rewards.

3. Generally speaking, Americans don't think there is anything wrong with personal material success.

4. Americans like skiing better than any other physical activity.

5. People in different societies have different patterns of character. There is no way to decide which society is superior.

6.Americans attribute the forming of their characteristics to the influence of different cultures.

7. From the passage, we can come to a conclusion that there is little or no glory attached to being born wealthy or privileged in the United States

8. Americans spend _____________on entertainment than people elsewhere in the world.

9. It is _______________that makes Americans recognizable wherever they go.

10. Besides na?ve, Europeans use another word to describe Americans. The word is \

短文大意

本文讨论的是海水的含盐量。本文主要讲述了引起海水含盐量变化的三个基本过程，一是用蒸发的方法去除水分，二是与蒸发法相反的方法——降水，三是海冰的形成和融化。 ?1. 答案B。

?【参考译文】 除了蒸发，下面所有的过程都使含盐量减少。 ?【试题分析】 本题要求了解阐述文章主旨的事实和细节。

?【详细解答】 什么因素不使含盐量下降呢?这要求我们留意文中对含盐量高低变化起作用的因素的细节描述。文中第二段末句总结了影响含盐量的因素:蒸发(evaporation)使含盐量增加,降水(precipitation)和河水流入(runoff)使含盐量降低,后文中提到融冰(melting)也使含盐量降低。因此，这一题很明显应选B项。 ?2. 答案A。

?【参考译文】 热带地区的海水含盐是一般要高些。 ?【试题分析】 本题要求我们了解相关的细节。

?【详细解答】 文中第三段具体描述了含盐量高低不同的几个地区,其中热带地区含盐量高而沿海岸地区含盐量低。因此这一题显然应选A“热带地区”。 ?3. 答案A。

?【参考译文】 本文中提到Weddell海是为了举例说明冷水含盐量。 ?【试题分析】 本题要求我们了解相关的细节。

?【详细解答】 文中提到Weddell海是在叙述了第三种改变含盐量的过程之后,这一种改变主要与冰的形成与融化有关。海水结成冰后含盐量升高,冰融化后含盐量又变低。随后,文中以Weddell海为例,说明海水结冰后,冰冷的海水含盐量增高。所以,这一题显然应该选A项。 ?4. 答案B。

?【参考译文】 根据本文，下面哪一句不真实? ?【试题分析】 本题考查对文章的主旨以及相关细节。

?【详细解答】 选不正确的一项也要求我们对全文有充分的理解,并能记住有关细节,这样才能判断对错。A项:“不同的因素结合在一起改变了水的含盐量。”文中的确提到了各种不同的因素,如蒸发等去除水分的方法和如降水等增加水分的方法一起使世界各地水的含盐量有所不同。所以A项正确。B项“海水结冰的结果是使水的含盐量下降了。”而文中却提到海水结冰后,冰下的水含盐量增高。因此B项是不正确的,应选B项。C项:“靠近海洋底部的水的含盐量相对高一些。”文中第五段提到海水结冰后,冰下的水浓度高,所以下沉到海洋更深的部分。因此可以推出海洋靠近底部的海水的含盐量相对高一些。C项是正确的。不选C。D项:“在沿海岸的地区,海洋被河水冲淡了。”这在文中第二段中有明确的表述。文中写到“增长的水会冲淡海洋。这可能发生在雨林地区或海洋地区,在沿海地区河水冲进海洋。”也就是说在沿海岸地区,海洋被河水冲淡了。所以D是正确的,不应选D。 ?5. 答案C。

?【参考译文】 本文讲述的要点是海水的含盐量。

?【试题分析】 本题主要考查考生对全文的理解和中心的概括。

【详细解答】 此文主要围绕海水的含盐量进行叙述,列举了三种不同情况下含盐量的增减。因此最合适的答案为C。而A“水分的去除或减少”,B“水由液态转为固态”,和D“降水对海水含盐量的影响，”都只是文中叙述的一个方面,而不是主要观点。

Psychological Problems among College Students

There is no denying the fact that psychological problems are becoming serious among college students. Reports are often heard that some college students committed suicide or murdered their roommates. Typical examples include the case of a Chinese student named Ma Jiajue and that of a Korean student studying in the U.S.

A number of factors may account for these young men and women’s troubles, but the following might the critical ones. First, as young adults, most of them are at the stage of personality

formation and are quite sensitive to their surroundings. Secondly, they are at a critical point of personal development and are facing pressure from various aspects: love, academy, job-seeking and so on. To make things worse, most of them are living off home and without their parents care and supervision.

In view of the seriousness of the problem, effective measures must be taken before things get worse. First. It is essential that the channel of communication be kept open among students, between students and their class advisors as well as between students and their parents. Besides, psychological counseling should be enhanced and be proceeded to resolve the problems from the students in time. Only with these measures taken can we expect sound growth of college students. 提供：谢福霞，于雪萍，郑著运，支晓来，汪少飞
