E Eruptions of Mount Saint HelensOn March 27,the U.S. Government scientists made a decision after they predicted the eruption of Mount Saint Helens.They telephoned all states and local officials in the area and told them that a serious eruption was possible at any time.Roads were closed to everyone except scientists and forest keepers struggled to keep curious visitors away from the mountain.Shortly after noon on March 27,Mount Saint Helens erupted for the first time in 123 years.People living north of the mountain heard a loud boom that shook their windows,and airline pilots flying near the volcano soon afterwards described a thick black column of ash and steam shooting more than 2 100 meters into the sky.Later,scientists found that the explosion had made a new crater（大坑） in the top of the mountain,not far from the old crater.The north side of the peak now had a huge bulge（分） where rock and ice had凸出部been pushed out by the eruption. A second eruption shook themountain on March 28.It,too,sent up a column of black ash high into the sky.By March 29,scientists flying over the mountain saw that a second crater formed about 9 meters from the first one.Strange blue flamesflickered（闪烁） inside the crater and sometimes jumped from one crater to the other. By April 1 the mountain had erupted several more times and the snow on the northslope of the peak was black with ash.Ash carried by the wind had fallen on towns as far as 240 kilometers away from Mount Saint Helens.During the first week of April,Mount Saint Helens gave scientists something new to worry about harmonic tremors（震动）recorded by scientists showed a big eruption would happen.All during April and into May Mount Saint Helens continued to shudder（震动） and shoot out ash.By April 8,the two craters had merged to form a vast hole nearly a half of a kilometer wide and 250 meters deep.Scientists' main worry during this time was the growing bulge of rock and ice on thenorth face of the mountain.By May 7 scientists feared the worst.Their warnings led Washington Governor to set up safety zones around the mountain.The inner “red ” zone was open to scientists only.The outer “blue ”zone was open only to people who got special permits.But in spite of these warnings,some people got past the road barriers and risked their lives trying to get close to the volcano.16.

CMobile Phones：Are They about to Transform Our Lives?We love them so much that some of us sleep with them under the pillow,yet we are increasingly concerned that wecannot escape their electronic reach.We use them to convey our most intimate secrets,yet we worry that they are a threat to our privacy.We rely on them more than the lnternet to cope with modern life,yet many of us don't believe advertisements saying we need more advanced services.Sweeping aside the doubts that many people feel about the benefits of new third generation phones and fears over the health effects of phone masts（天线竿）,a recent reportclains that the long-term effects of new mobile technologies will be entirely positive so long as the public can be convinced to make use ofthem.Research about users of mobile phones reveals that the mobile has already moved beyond being a mere practical communications tool to become the backbone （支柱）of modern social life,from love affairs to friendship to work.One female teacher,32,told the researchers ："I lovemy phone.It's my friend."The close relationship between user and phone is most pronounced among teenagers,the report says,who regard their mobiles as an expression of their identity.This is partly because mobiles are seen as being beyond the control of parents.But the researchers suggest that another reason may be that mobiles,especially taxt messaging,are seen as a way of overcoming shyness."Texting is often used for apologies,to excuse lateness or to communicate other things that make us uncomfortable,"the report says,The impact of phones,however,has been local rather than global,supporting existing friendships and networks,rather than opening users to a new broader community.Even the language of texting in one area can be incomprehensible to anybody from another area.Among the most important benefits of using mobile phones,the report claims,will be a vastly improved mobile infrastructure（基础设施）,providing gains throughout the economy,and the provision of a more sophisticated locationbased services for users.The report calls on govemment to put more effort into the delivery of services by bobile phone,with suggestions including public transport and traffic information and doctors' text messages to remind patients of appointments."I love that idea,"one user said in an interview."It would mean I wouldn't have to write a hundred messages to myself."There are many other possibilities.At a recent trade fair in Sweden,a mobile navigation product was launched.When the user enters a destination,a route is automatically downloaded to their mobile and presented by voice,pictures and maps as they drive.In future,these deviceswill also be able to plan around congestion（交通堵塞）and road works in real time.Third generation phones will also allow for remote monitoring of patients by doctors.In Britain scientists aredeveloping a asthma（哮喘）management solution,using mobiles to detect early signs of an attack.41. What does the writer suggest in the first paragraph about our attitudes to mobilephones?A. We can't live without them.B. We are worried about using them so much.C. We have contradictory feelings about them.D. We need them more than anything else to deal with modem life.42. Which of the following statements is true?A.Modern social life relies significantly on the use of mobile phones.B. Mobile phones make romantic communication more difficult.C. Mobile phones encourage people to make friends.D. Mobile phones enable people of different countries to talk without translation.43. Teenagers have a close relationship with their mobile phones partly because theye text messages more than any other group.B. are more likely to be late than older people.C. tend to feel uncomfortable in many situations.D. take mobile phones as an indication of independence from their parents.44.It is suggested that mobile phones should be used toA.give the address of the nearest hospital.B. show bus and train timetables.C. arrange delivery of mails.D. cure diseases.45.The navigation product launched in Sweden is helpful to drivers because it canA.suggest the best route to get to a place.B. download maps of the area.C. tell them which roads are congested.D. show them how to avoid road works.答案：41.C 42.A 43.D 44.B 45.A The World 's LongestBridgeRumor has it that1 a legendary six-headed monster lurks in the deep waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea between Italy and the island of Sicily. 1When completed in 2010, the world 's longest bridge will weigh nearly 300,000 tons equivalent to the iceberg that sank the Titanic —and stretch 5 kilomerers long. “that 'snearly 50 percent longer than any other bridge ever built, says structural engineer Shane Rixon. 2They're suspension bridges, massive structures built to span vast water channels or gorges. A suspension bridge needs just two towers to shoulder the structure 's mammothweight, thanks to hefty supporting cables slung between the towers and anchored firmly in deep pools of cement at each end of the bridge. The Messina StraitBridge will have two 54,00-ton towers , which will support most of the bridge's load. Thebeefy cables of the bridge, each 1.2 meter in diameter, will hold up the longest and widest bridge deck ever built. When construction begins on the Messina Strait Bridge in 2005, the first job will be to erect two 370 meter-tall steel towers. 3Getting these cables up will be something2. It 's notjust their length —totally 5.3 kilometers —but theirweight. 4After lowering vertical “suspender ” cables from themain cables, builders will erect a 60meter-wide 54,630-ton steel roadway, or deck —wide enough to accommodate 12 lanesof traffic. The deck 's weight will pull down on the cableswith a force of 70,500 tons. In return, the cables yank up against their firmly rooted anchors with a force of 139,000 tons —equivalent to the weight of about 100,000 cars. Those anchors are essential. 5A Some environmentalists are against the project on biological grounds.B What do the world ' s longest bridges have in common?C If true, one day you might spy the beast while zipping（呼啸而过） across the Messina Strait Bridge.D They' re what will keep the bridge from going anywhere.E The second job will be to pull two sets of steel cables across the strait, each set being a bundle of 44,352 individual steel wires.F They will tip up the scales at 166,500 tons —morethan- half the bridge ' s total mass.答案与题解：1. C 选项 C 中有一个关键词beast ，与第一句的monster 相呼应。
