They are among the most common and widespread of all natural disasters. Even more importantly, they’re No.1 weather-related killer. A flood can happen anywhere along the Mississippi, in New England, even in the desert.The following are some fascinating facts about floods and flash floods.A flood（commonly called river flood）is high flow of water from a river or similar body of water, happening over a period of time too long to beconsidered a flash flood. Flooding is caused in many ways. Winter or spring rains, together with melting snows, can fill rivers too quickly. Heavy rains from hurricanes or other tropical（热带的）systems can also produce river flooding. The Mississippi River Flood of 1993 was caused by repeated heavy rain from thunderstorms over a period of weeks.Flash floods are quickly-rising floods which are usually the result of heavy rains over a short period of time, often only several hours or even less. They can also be caused by ice jams（冰塞）on rivers related to a winter or spring melting, or occasionally even a dam break. The constant influx （汇集） of water finally caused a great overflow to begin, powerful enough to sweep vehicles away, roll big stones into roadways, uproot trees, level （夷平） buildings, and knock bridges down. The speed of the rising of water is the most frightening.Do remember: Move to higher ground and stay away from low areas during heavy rain. Stay out of flooded areas. Never allow children especially to play or walk in flowing water. Never drive your car into water of unknown depths.41. What is the best title for the passage?A. The power of floodsB. The damage of floodsC. The occurrence of floodsD. The facts about floods42. The last paragraph is mainly about ______ .A. flood safety tipsB. the reasons for floodsC. the waste water systemsD. the swift flood waters43. According to the passage, people are afraid of _____ most during flash floods.A. the constant influx of waterB. the sudden occurrence of flash floodsC. the quick rising waterD. the great damage of flash floods44. According to the passage, flash floods are ______.A. great floods resulted from heavy rains in a short timeB. floods rising quickly from heavy rains in a short timeC. quickly-rising floods in a long timeD. floods happening over a long time（B）In 1990 Peter Salovey Ph. D and John Mayer Ph. D coined the term Emotional Intelligence. Their research has opened many people’s eyes to the fact that EQ or emotional quotient holds the key to one’s happiness and well being, and helped us to realize that our emotional makeup can be so much more important than our mental, or what we refer to as IQ—intelligent quotient.IQ is essential for learning and mental development and EQ is much more important for happiness and success. Some time ago a study done in the United States proved that doctors who were impatient and did not exhibit much care towards their patients were more likely to be sued (起诉) for malpractice(渎职), whereas doctors who were caring and attentive to their patients were less likely to be sued even if they made a critical mistake. A woman wrote to newspaper recently telling about her brother. He was apparently a genius but did not get along with people, quit every job he started, and eventually became a taxi driver. These are just a few examples of people with high IQ but low EQ.We have all known people who did not complete college, but who have become very successful in business. We call them street smart. We also know people who, on the whole, are positive, communicative, pleasant and supportive —these people enjoy a high level of EQ.Many people wish to improve their EQ for the purpose of becoming happier, more successful, and at the same time more balanced, individuals. The remarkable thing about EQ is that it can always, at any age, be improved, unlike IQ, which remains more or less fixed in adult life.Now psychologists start workshops focusing on showing people how to increase their EQ. This enables them to accomplish their dreams and desires, rid themselves of negative patterns and shows them that once they master their inner world, their outer world becomes much better.45. In the second paragraph, the author gives us two examples to showthat _____. .A. doctors in the United States are often involved in casesB. working as a taxi driver in the United States requires high EQC. those with high IQ are often engaged in the low-rank workD. those with low EQ have a harder time surviving in life46. Which of the following can’t be used to describe the people witha high level of EQ?A. They are positive, communicative, pleasant and supportive.B. They are optimistic and untroubled by difficulties.C. They are impatient and show little care towards others.D. They may be very successful in business.47. It can be inferred that predicting future successes, ______.A. a person’s brainpower might actually matter less than a person’s characterB. a person’s IQ might be more important than a person’s EQC. IQ plays an important role as well as EQD. both IQ and EQ are the key points that should be considered48. Which of following is NOT true according to the passage?A. People with high IQ are likely to gain knowledge quickly.B. At work EQ gets you hired easily and IQ gets you promoted.C. Having a high IQ will help us in some ways but having a highEQ might help us even more.D. People’s EQ could be raised much more than their IQ.（C）Most young architects—particularly those in big cities— can only dream about working in a building of their own. And making that dream come true often means finding a building no one else seems to want, which is exactly what happened to David Yocum and his parter, Brain Bell. Their building is a former automobile electrical-parts film in Atlanta. Form the outside, it looks too old, even something horrible, but open the door and you are in a wide, open courtyard, lined on three sides with rusting(生锈的)walls.In 2000, Yocum and Bell found this building in the city’s West End. Built in 1947, the structure had been abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down. But the price was right, so Yocum bought it. He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition(排除), pulling rubbish out through the roof, because it was too dangerous to go inside the building. The demolition was hard work, but it gave him time to think about what he wanted to do, and “to treasure what was there— the walls, the rust, the light.” Yocum said. “Every season, more paint falls off the walls and more rust develops. It’s like an art installation(装置) in there—a slow-motionshow.”Since the back building had been constructed without windows, an all-glass front was added to the building to give it a view of the courtyard, and skylights were installed in the roof. The back of the building is a working area and a living room for Yocum and his wife. A sort of buffer(缓冲) zone between the front and the back contains a bathroom, a kitchen and a mechanical room, and the walls that separate these zones have openings that allow views through to the front of the studio and the courtyard beyond.Yocum and Bell, who have just completed an art gallery for the city, feel that the experience from the decoration of their building, focusing on the inside rather than the outside, has influenced their work. It has also given these architects a chance to show how they can make more out of less.49. According to the passage, it is _______ for most young architectsin big cities to work in a building of their own.A. easyB. unnecessaryC. unrealisticD. common50. Yocum bought the old building because _____.A. it was a bargain to himB. it was still in good conditionC. it was located in the city centerD. it looked attractive from the outside51. Working on the old building, Yocum and Bell _______.A. pulled rubbish out through the roofB. removed the skylights from the bathroomC. presentd a slow-motion show in an art galleryD. built a kitchen at the back part of the old buiding52. It can be inferred from the passage that Yocum and Bell _____.A. benefited a lot from pulling down the roofB. turned more old buildings into art galleriesC. got inspiration from decorating their old buildingD. paid more attention to the outside of the art gallery53. The main idea of the passage is that ______.A. people can learn a lot from their failures.B. it is worthwhile to spend money on an old buildingC. people should not judge things by their appearanceD. creative people can make the best of what they have第四部分：单词拼写（共9小题；每小题1分，满分9分）54．She felt g________ about leaving her sick child and going to work. 55．I must a________ for not being able to meet you at the airport on time. 56．Whenever I get into trouble, he comes to my help without h_________. 57．In order to avoid the p_________ for the wrong that he had done, he went to a European country in 1981.58．He was too s__________ to admit that he was wrong and refused to say sorry to his girl friend.59．If you want to pass your exams, you’d better change your a__________ toward study.60．She was a________ to graduate from college and get a well-paid job. 61．You’ve put me in a very a_______ position and now I don’t know how to deal with the matter.62．I tried to p__________ him to change his mind but he refused to fo5llow my advice.63．I am sorry that I was a______________ just now and didn’t quite catch what you said.87. 88. 89. 90.91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 第四部分：句子翻译（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分） 64． 我感觉我被朋友出卖了。
