4.The coast of the State of Maine is one of the most irregular in the world.A straight line running from the southernmost coastal city to the northernmost coastal city would measure about 225miles.If you followed the coastline between these points,you would travel more than ten times as far.This irregularity is the result of what is called a drowned coastline.The term comes from the glacial(冰川的)activity of the Ice Age.At that time,the whole area that is now Maine was part of a mountain range that towered above the sea.As the glacier descended,however,it applied enormous force on those mountains,and they sank into the sea.
As the mountains sank,ocean water charged over the lowest parts of the remaining land.And the highest parts of the former mountain range,nearest the shore,remained as islands.Marine fossils found here are 225feet above sea level indicating the level of the shoreline prior to the glacier.
The 2,500-mile-long rocky and jagged coastline of Maine keeps watch over nearly 2,000islands.Many of these islands are tiny and uninhabited,but many are home to blooming communities.Mt.Desert Island is one of the largest,most beautiful of the Maine coast islands left behind by the glacier.Measuring 16miles by 12miles,Mt.Desert was very nearly formed as two distinct islands.It is split almost in half by Somes Sound,a very deep and very narrow stretch of water seven miles long.
For years,Mt.Desert Island,particularly its major settlement,Bar Harbor,has afforded summer homes for the wealthy.Recently,though,Bar Harbor has become a new arts community as well.But the best part of the island is the unspoiled forest land known as Acadia National Park.Since the island sits on the border between two different geographical zones,the park supports the plants and animals of both zones.It also lies in a major bird migration lane and is a resting spot for many birds.
The establishment of Acadia National park in 1916 means that this natural monument will be preserved and that it will be available to all people,not just the wealthy.Visitors to Acadia may receive nature instruction from the park naturalists as well as enjoy camping,hiking,cycling,and boating.Or they may choose to spend time at the museum learning about the Stone Age inhabitants of the island.

6.Most people go to a doctor in their own town or suburb.But people in the Australian outback can't get to a doctor quickly.The nearest doctor is sometimes hundreds of kilometers away so they have to call him on a two-way radio.This special doctor is called the"flying doctor".He visits sick people by plane.
When someone is very sick,the doctor has to fly to the person's home.His plane lands on a flat piece of ground near the person's house.Sometimes the doctor has to take the patient to hospital.Flying doctors take about 8,600 people to hospital each year.
However,most of the time the person isn't very sick,and the doctor doesn't have to visit.He can give advice on the radio from the office at the flying doctor center.He can tell the patient to use some medicine from a special medicine chest (箱子).There is one of these chests in every home in the outback.Each bottle,tube and packet in the chest has a number.The doctor often says something like this,"take two tablets  from bottle 5 every four hours."

3.In today's fiercely competitive business environment,companies need to communicate information concerning a whole range of issues in a clear and precise manner to their customers.This  is  particularly so in the case of companies which do business in areas such as manufacturing,information technology(IT),engineering products and services-companies whose products and services may not be understood by a customer not familiar with its technical aspects.
These communication materials are prepared in a company these days by"technical writers"-people who can effectively communicate to an Intended audience.
Technical writing and writing text-books are poles apart.The former is aimed at those who do not have an in-depth knowledge about a product and therefore should be direct and easy to Understand.Too many technical terms would only add to the confusion of the customer.Technical writers first need to understand the technical information themselves,before trying to communicate it in easier 1anguage to the customers.Even graduates of English literature are often found  wanting when it comes to creative and effective writing.
This simply means that those with a Bachelor's degree in English Literature along with a  diploma/degree in Journalism and having a Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Applications (PGDCA)are ideal(理想的)candidates for being employed as technical writers.
A career in technical writing is seen as a good choice for women mainly because it is widely held that women are more gifted in creative writing than men and the job does not involve too much travelling or working at night.

32.What are"technical writers"supposed to do?A
A.To write about the company's products or services in clear,easy language.
B.To write about the company's products using correct technical terms.
B.To effectively communicate to an intended audience by writing letters.
D.To travel around to persuade people to buy the company's products or services.
33.Which of the following best explains the underlined word"wanting"in Paragraph 3?D
A.Being needed.    
B.Wanting to write.
C.Hoping to be employed.
D.Lacking in ability.
34.What would happen if many technical terms are used in technical writing?C
A.It would sound too formal.    
B.It would help engineers a lot.
C.It would confuse the customer.
D.It would produce a better effect.
