Oases make it possible to survive long walks through the desert. In large deserts such as the Sahara(撒哈拉), towns group around sources of water such as oases and rivers.What causes an oasis? An oasis is actually a spot in the desert where the altitude(海拔) is low enough that the water table is right below the surface, resulting in the presence of springs. Even in a desert, it rains occasionally, and this produces a water table just above the bedrock, usually several hundred feet below the surface. Sand is very porous, so most water runs right through it and down to the bedrock.Deserts consist of many millions of tons of sand. There is only one natural force capable of moving it in considerable amounts: the wind. Although, in an average dust storm, ten cubic feet of air only holds about an ounce(盎司) of sand, a cubic mile of air can move about 4,600 tons of it, leading to considerable erosion(侵蚀). A severe storm is capable of moving as much as 100 million tons of sand.In certain areas where large quantities of sand are moved by storms, erosion make holes all the way down to the water table, putting it just below the surface. Seeds planted in the ground there are capable of sprouting(发芽) and extending roots into the slightly wet land, producing an oasis.45. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Where there is an oasis, there is a town.B. Where there is an oasis, there is a spring.C. It often rains around an oasis.D. An oasis is right in the center of a desert.46. The underlined word “porous” in the second paragraph probably means _______.A. light enough to carry conveniently slowlyB. small enough to move easilyC. easy enough to cross smoothlyD. allowing liquid or air to pass through47. According to the passage, what makes it possible for a dust storm to come into being?A. Strong wind and a large amount of sand.B. No seeds planted in the ground.C. Occasional rain and lack of plants.D. Extreme temperature and dust.48. This passage is most likely to be found in ________.A. a geography bookB. a story bookC. a technical reportD. a travel guideCThe British really don't mind telling fibs, for not only do the average British men lie five times a day, but the women also lie at least three times a day.“Nothing's wr ong---I'm fine,” is the most frequent, with 28 percent of those interviewed saying it was their favorite untruth, according to a survey carried out for the drinks brand WKD. A spokesman of WKD said: “Fortunately most of the fibs we unearthed are only white lies. But it’s men who tell the most fibs, coming out with five lies every day compared with women who lie just three times.”Next comes “Nice to see you”, followed by “I haven't got any cash on me”, “I’ll give you a ring”, “Sorry, I missed your call”, “We’ll have to meet up soon” and “I’m on my way”. So women should not get their hopes up when they hear their partners say, “I’ll give you a ring”. Other lies that made it to the list was “No, your bum doesn’t look big in that”, which came in at the eighth spot, as well as “Of course I love you,” which was 12th on the list, reports The Sun. The rest of the top 20 are: “I’m stuck in traffic”, “What text?”, “I had no signal”, “Our server was down”, “My alarm didn't go off”, “The cheque is in the post”, “My battery died”, “The train was delayed”, “I’ll phone you back in a minute”, “This tastes delicious” and “I’m going to the gym tonight”.Four lies a day adds up to 1,460 a year or 88,000 in the average 60-year adult life.Most lies are to work colleagues, followed by parents, then partners.49. The underlined word "fibs" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ____.A. liesB. storiesC. jokesD. truths50. The third on the list of lies is ____.A. “Nothing’s wrong--I'm fine”B. “Nice to see you”C. “Of course I love you”D. “I haven't got any cash on me”51. It is suggested that when women hear their partners say, “I’ll give you a ring”,they ____A. should be hopefulB. should break away from their partnersC. shouldn't expect too muchD. shouldn't accept the ring52. We can conclude from the passage that ____.A. the British lie more than other peopleB. most of the time the British lie about something unimportantC. People who love each other don't lie to each otherD. the British actually hate telling liesDMany young people want to study in the United States but do not have the money to do so. It is a good idea to research this question when you first begin to explore the idea of studying in the United States. The Association of International Education says more than two-thirds of foreign students in the United States pay for their education using their own or their families’ money.That is because there is very little financial aid for foreign students in the United States. Foreign graduate students have a better chance than undergraduates do, but it still is limited. Most financial aid from public and private groups is shared by American citizens. Some countries provide aid for their citizens to study in the United States on the guarantee that they will return to their own countries to work.The United States government provides aid for students from some countries. Y ou can ask the American Embassy or an Agency for International Development if this is true in your country. A local university may also have such information.Some American colleges do provide money in the form of scholarships to foreign students. A list of these can be found at a very useful Internet web site. The web site also provides information about where to write for scholarships. It warns foreign students not to pay any money for scholarship applications. Such requests are illegal. The address is .53. According to the passage, if you want to study in the United States but can't getsupport from your government, you should ____.A. announce your application in a newspaperB. ask your friends for helpC. get in touch with the American EmbassyD. try to work part-time there54. The reason why foreign students in the United States get very little financial aid isthat ____.A. most financial aid is given to American studentsA. the American government doesn't allow itB. Americans don't care foreign studentsC. they don't know how to apply55. The underlined phrase "on the guarantee" in the second paragraph means ____.A. decidingB. promisingC. suggestingD. insisting56. What should you do if you want to get a scholarship to a college in America?A. Find the list of these scholarships.B. Find the information through .C. Get in touch with the colleges.D. Write a letter to the web siteEThis is supposed to be an enlightened(开明的) age, but you wouldn’t think so if you could hear what the average men think of the average women.Women won their independence years ago. After a long, bitter struggle, they now enjoy the same educational opportunities as men in most parts of the world. They have proved repeatedly that they are equal and often superior to men in almost every field. The hard-fought battle for recognition has been won, but it is by no means over. It is men, not women, who still carry on the sex war because their attitude remains basically hostile. Even in the most progressive societies, women continue to be regarded as second-rate citizens. Hearing some men talk, you’d think that women belong to a different species.On the surface, the comments made by men about women’s abilities seem light-hearted. The same tired jokes about women drivers are repeated day in, day out. This apparent light-heartiness does not hide the real disrespect that men feel for women. However much men laugh at women, their claims to superiority are not borne out by statistics. We all know that women cause far fewer accidents than men. They are too careful and responsible to drive like mad but this is pun(双关语).Women have succeeded in any job you care to name. As politicians, soldiers, doctors, bus-conductors, scientists and presidents of countries they have often put men to shame. And we must remember that they frequently succeed brilliantly in all these fields in addition to bearing and rearing children.57. Which of the following statements is true according to the author?A. Women are now regarded as equal as men throughout the world.B. Women have got the same educational opportunities as men.C. Women have proved their abilities in many fields.D. Women’s struggle for recognition has been completely won.58. Women’s success in almost every field is significant because ____.A. women don’t have to bear and rear childrenB. women have fought very hard for successC. men still carry on the sex warD. women have seldom succeed before59. When talking of driving, women, in the opinions of some men, ____.A. are very careful and responsibleB. drive their cars crazilyC. drive their cars worse than menD. want to put men to shame60. What is the author’s attitude towards women in this passage?A. ContentB. CriticalC. DepressedD. Approving第二节根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
