题目内容

Man, a land animal. But he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two-thirds of the world’s population live within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.

    In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of man’s needs.

    The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology is big. Oil and gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined.

    Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish (贝类动物) is an ancient skill practised in the past mainly by Oriental people, including people in China.

    Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy.

    Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.

    The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2020 the problems that prevent us from exploiting（开发） fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.

1.The major things that the sea offers man are ______.

A. fish and oil                        

B. minerals and oil

    C. warm temperature and ocean currents   

D. the food, energy sources, and minerals

2.We can conclude from this passage that ______.

    A. the sea resources have largely been used up

    B. the sea, in the broad sense, has not yet been developed

    C. the problems that prevent us from using the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea have already been solved.

    D. by the year 2020, the technology will be good enough to exploit all the sea resources

3.The underlined words “Oriental people” in the fourth paragraph probably mean ______.

    A. the people in Asia                       B. African people

    C. European people                          D. American people

4.The best title for this passage is ______.

    A. Sea Harvest                              B. Sea Food

    C. Technology for Exploiting the Sea            D. Man and the Sea

The baby boy, born at two minutes past midnight Thursday in a Beijing hospital, counted China’s 1.3 billionth citizen and the date, January 6, 2005, became the 1.3 Billion Population Day of China.

With 3,600 grams and 52 cm, the boy is in good condition. So far, the boy has no name. His mother is Lan Hui in her 31 with the Shell Group of Companies and the boy’s father is one staff from Air China.

 "I am very happy, and I am the happiest man in the world," the boy’s father said.

Gu Xiulian, Vice-Chairperson of the NPC Standing Committee and President of the ACWF, visited the hospital to see the new coming citizen. Zhang Weiqing, director of National Population and Family Planning Commission (NPFPC) of China, awarded him the certificate and gifts.

China mainland would reach 1,299,880,000 by the end of 2004, with a daily net increase of 20,800 on average. Based on this statistics, on January 6, this population would top at 1. 3 billion. NPFPC had determined in advance that the first baby born in this hospital after midnight would be the symbolic 1.3 billionth Chinese.

On the same day, more than 20,000 other babies were added to China’s population list.

The nation’s population policy over the past 25 years has contributed to balanced development, delaying the date of the landmark figure by four years.  

1. The baby is regarded as China’s 1. 3 billionth citizen because ________.

A. our population was just one less than 1.3 billion before his birth

B. he was the first baby China had on January 6,2005

C. he was lucky enough to be born at the right time and place

D. he was the healthiest of all born on the same day

2. The baby’s birth is worth so much attention because ________.

A. 1.3 billion is a landmark figure in China’s population statistics

B. 1.3 billion is a turning point in China’s population growth

C. the birth symbolizes China’s success in family planning

D. the birth makes China’s population large enough for celebration

3. Which statement is correct according to the statistical data?

A. In 2004 China had 20,800 babies born on an average day.

B. China’s population reached 1.3 billion by the end of January 5.

C. The exactly 1.3 billionth citizen should be born on January 5.

D. China’s actual population became over 20,000 larger on January 6

Oh God! I think I was about seven when my sisters and I pulled this stupid stunt（惊险动作）.
