ed. One reason is that out at sea, waves moving in one direction almost always run into waves moving in a different direction. The two sets of waves tend to cancel each other out. Another reason is that water is shallower near the shore. As a wave gets closer to land, the shallow bottom helps reduce its strength.

But the power of waves striking the shore can still be very great. During a winter gale(大风), waves sometimes strike the shore with the force of 6,000 pounds for each square foot. That means a wave, 25 feet high and 500 feet along its face, may strike the shore with a force of 75 million pounds.

Yet the waves, no matter how big or how violent, affect only the surface of the sea. During the most violent storms, the water a hundred fathoms(600 feet) beneath the surface is just as calm as on a day without a breath of wind.

According to the passage, destruction caused by high waves occurs ______.

A．regularly

B．rarely

C．frequently

D．suddenly

Why is (1) fun？ What delights may its practitioner expect as his reward？ First is the sheer joy of making things. As the child delights in his mud pie, so the adult enjoys building things, especially things of his own design. Second is the pleasure of making things that are useful to other people. Third is the fascination of fashioning complex puzzle-like objects of interlocking moving parts and watching them work in subtle cycles, playing out the consequences of principles built in from the beginning. Fourth is the joy of always learning, which springs from the (2) nature of the task. In one way or another the problem is ever new, and its solver learns something: sometimes (3), sometimes theoretical, and sometimes both. Finally, there is the delight of working in such a tractable medium. The (4), like the poet, works only slightly removed from pure thought-stuff. Few media of creation are so flexible, so easy to polish and rework, so readily capable of realizing grand conceptual structures.

Yet the program (5), unlike the poet's words, is real in the sense that it moves and works, producing visible outputs separate from the construct itself. It prints results, draws pictures, produces sounds, moves arms. Programming then is fun because it gratifies creative longings built deep within us and delights sensibilities we have in common with all men.

e's flank, he seemed strangely oblivious of its advance—as the whale sometimes will---and Ahab was fairly within the smoky mountain mist, which, thrown off from the whale's spout, curled round his great Monadnock hump; he was even thus close to him; when, with body arched back, and both arms lengthwise high-lifted to the poise, he darted his fierce iron, and his far fiercer curse into the hated whale.

Task 2

Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.

Very high waves are destructive when they strike the land. Fortunately, this seldom happens. One reason is that out at sea, waves moving in one direction almost always run into waves moving in a different direction. The two sets of waves tend to cancel each other out. Another reason is that water is shallower near the shore. As a wave gets closer to land, the shallow bottom helps reduce its strength.

But the power of waves striking the shore can still be very great. During a winter gale, waves sometimes strike the shore with the force of 6,000 pounds for each square foot. That means a wave, 25 feet high and 500 feet along its face, may strike the shore with a force of 75 million pounds.

Yet the waves, no matter how big or how violent, affect only the surface of the sea. During the most raging storms, the water a hundred fathoms(600 feet) beneath the surface is just as calm as on a day without a breath of wind.

According to the passage, destruction caused by high waves occurs ______.

A．regularly

B．rarely

C．always

D．predictably

colors because they make a room feel warmer and the walls nearer to us than they really are. We say that blue and green are cold because they give us the opposite feeling. A neutral color is one that does not seem to affect our feelings. Brown and grey are both neutral，and they may also be mixed with hot or cold colors to reduce their effect on our feelings.

We can begin to see the importance of color selection. Although red might be perfect for a restaurant，it would be wrong for an art exhibition room，where we want to look at the paintings，not at the walls behind. Because of its effect on size，white could be used to make a small room seem larger，or dark blue to make a large one seem smaller.

Another way that we sometimes speak of colors is to say that they are loud or quiet. Again we are talking about the feeling that colors give us. We use sound to express how much colors catch our attention.

16. If a man wants to make a room warmer，which color will he choose for the walls？

A. Green.

B. Yellow.

C. Black.

D. Brown

17. Which color can be used with blue to reduce its effect on our feelings？

A. Yellow

B. Red

C. Grey.

D. Green.

18. According to the second paragraph，red is most suitable for _____________.

A. restaurants

B. paintings

C. an exhibition room

D. the walls in a

living room

19. People would paint a small room into white because ____________.

A. white makes a room brighter

B. white makes a room prettier

C. a room seems larger in white

D. a room seems smaller it white

20. “Loud” and “quiet” colors give people ____________.

A. the cooler feelings

B. the opposite feelings

C. the warmer feelings

D. the similar feelings

One major decision which faces the American student

ready to begin higher education is the choice of attending

a large university or a small college. The large university

provides wide range of specialized departments, as well 【S1】______

as numerous courses with so departments. The small 【S2】______

college, moreover, generally provides a limited number 【S3】______

of courses and specialization but offers a better 【S4】______

student faculty ratio, thus permitting individualized

attention to students. Because its large, cosmopolitan 【S5】______

student body the university exposes its students for many 【S6】______

different cultural, social, and extracurricular programs.

On the other hand, the smaller, more homogeneous

student body of the small college afford greater opportunities 【S7】______

for direct involvement and individual participation in

such activities. Finally, the university closely approximates

the unreal world; it provides a relaxed, impersonal, and 【S8】______

sometimes anonymous existence. In contrast, the intimate

atmosphere of the small college prevents the student four 【S9】______

years of structured living in which to contemplate and prepare

for the real world. In making his choice among educational

institutions the student, therefore, consider many facts. 【S10】______
