Every drop of water in the ocean, even in the deepest parts, responds to the forces that create the tides. No other force that affects the sea is so strong. Compared with the tides, the waves created by the wind are surface movements felt no more than a hundred fathoms below the surface. The currents also seldom involve more than the upper several hundred fathoms despite their impressive sweep. The tides are a response of the waters of the ocean to the pull of the Moon and the more distant Sun. In theory, there is a gravitational attraction between the water and even the outermost.

<span class='text_page_counter'>(3)</span> star of the universe. In reality, however, the pull of remote stars is so slight as to be obliterated by the control of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun. Just as the Moon rises later each day by fifty minutes, on the average, so, in most places, the time of high tide is correspondingly later each day. And as the Moon waxes and wanes in its monthly cycle, so the height of the tide varies. The tidal movements are strongest when the Moon is a sliver in the sky, and when it is full. These are the highest flood tides and the lowest ebb tides of the lunar month and are called the spring tides. At these times the Sun, Moon, and Earth are nearly in line and the pull of the two heavenly bodies is added together to bring the water high on the beaches, to send its surf upward against the sea cliffs, and to draw a high tide into the harbors. Twice each month, at the quarters of the Moon, when the Sun, Moon and Earth lie at the apexes of a triangular configuration and the pull of the Sun and Moon are opposed, the moderate tidal movements called neap tides occur. Then the difference between high and low water is less than at any other time during the month. Question 35. What is the main point of the first paragraph? A. The waves created by ocean currents are very large. B. Despite the strength of the wind, it only moves surface water. C. Deep ocean water is seldom affected by forces that move water. D.

It can be inferred from the passage that the most important factor in determining how much gravitational effect one object in space has on the tides is____________. A. size B. distance C. temperature D. density Question 39. The word "correspondingly" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to__________. A. unpredictably B. interestingly C. similarly D. unusually Question 40. What is the cause of spring tides? A. Seasonal changes in the weather B. The gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon when nearly in line with the Earth C. The Earth's movement around the Sun D. The triangular arrangement of the Earth, Sun, and Moon Question 41.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions. The ocean bottom - a region nearly 2.5 times greater than the total land area of the Earth - is a vast frontier that even today is largely unexplored and uncharted. Until about a century ago, the deep-ocean floor was completely inaccessible, hidden beneath waters averaging over 3,600 meters deep. Totally without light and subjected to intense pressures hundreds of times greater than at the Earth's surface, the deep-ocean bottom is a hostile environment to humans, in some ways as forbidding and remote as the void of outer space. Although researchers have taken samples of deep-ocean rocks and sediments for over a century, the first detailed global investigation of the ocean bottom did not actually start until 1968, with the beginning of the National Science Foundation's Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP).Using techniques first developed for the offshore oil and gas industry, the DSDP's drill ship, the Glomar Challenger, was able to maintain a steady position on the ocean's surface and drill in very deep waters, extracting samples of sediments and rock from the ocean floor. The Glomar Challenger completed 96 voyages in a 15-year research program that ended in November 1983. During this time, the vessel logged 600,000 kilometers and took almost 20,000 core samples of seabed sediments and rocks at 624 drilling sites around the world. The Glomar Challenger's core samples have allowed geologists to reconstruct what the planet looked like hundreds of millions of years ago and to calculate what it will probably look like millions of years in the future. Today, largely on the strength of evidence gathered during the Glomar Challenger's voyages, nearly all earth scientists agree on the theories of plate tectonics and continental drift that explain many of the geological processes that shape the Earth. The cores of sediment drilled by the Glomar Challenger have also yielded information critical to understanding the world's past climates. Deep-ocean sediments provide a climatic record stretching back hundreds of millions of years, because they are largely isolated from the mechanical erosion and the intense chemical and biological activity that rapidly destroy much landbased evidence of past climates. This record has already provided insights into the patterns and causes of past climatic change - information that may be used to predict future climates. Question 55.

A. is not a popular area for scientific research B. contains a wide variety of life forms C. attracts courageous explorers D. is an unknown territory Question 56.

TOPIC: Write about a sporting event you saw recently. Last Sunday at our school football field, a friendly football match was held. Our school Female Students’ Football Team played against the neighboring school’s one. It was a really nice Sunday morning then. The football field where the match took place was previously well-decorated. Red flags could be seen along the roads from our school gate passing the school play-ground to the gym then to the football ground, together with numerous slogans, posters, and of course pictures of the two teams and individual players. Then came the most important moment of the day when the two teams entered the field from the changing rooms, following the two headmasters of the two schools, and the referees. Spectators all burst into applauses to welcome the players. As soon as the game began, spectators started cheering and shouting for one side or the other..

<span class='text_page_counter'>(6)</span> Others sang and danced, some even called out the players’ names with love and pride. The crowd kept discussing and commentating happily. On the first half, our team played much better to score two goal to lead the guest. The football field seemed to be filled with applauses and bravos when the first and then the second goal were scored by the two different home strikers. The players of the two teams played so well that it made spectators forget the time as the referee blew his whistle to finish the first half. When the second half came the guest players played much better and scored a goal. The players still played enthusiastically but no more goal was scored. The match ended with the winning score of 2-1 for the home team. It was a very happy weekend day for us all and it was, in my opinion, the best game I have ever watched. We all agreed that such sporting event brought us closer together, made us feel relaxed and we very much felt confident and proud of our school. --------------------THE END--------------------.
