  从下列每篇短文旳问题后所给旳四个选项中选出一种最佳答案，并在答题纸上将对应旳答案涂黑。
Passage One
     Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
     The communication process begins with the formulation of an idea or the selection of information by its sender. The sender then encodes the idea into symbols, thereby creating a message, which is subsequently transmitted (传送) through one or more channels (e.g., speaking, writing, or electronic media). It is at this point that the receiver decodes(解码) and attaches meaning to the message. If effective communication has occurred, the receiver will understand the idea and information as the sender intended. Unfortunately, the potential for physical and perceptual noise, which can distort the intended message of the sender, is present at every stage of the process. Fortunately, noise can be overcome through effective feedback(反馈), a response from the sender that allows misunderstandings to be identified and resolved. Twoway communication-communication that allows feedback-is almost always more effective than oneway communication.
    Each of the steps in the communication process has potential problems that can impede(阻碍)  effective communication. During encoding, the primary difficulty usually results from the nature of symbols and the semantic (语义) variation in their meanings. In addition to these distortions, the sender must also be aware of nonverbal messages that might distort the message. This awareness is important because research has shown that nonverbal messages are given greater weight by the receiver when decoding and attaching meaning to the message. The effectiveness of encoding will be increased if the sender develops empathy (感情移入) for the receiver and is aware of his or her own feelings and emotions. The key to effective transmission of the message is choosing the most appropriate channel or channels of media for the situation.
21. The best title for the passage is ________.
  A. Communication Process          B. Communication
  C. Effective Communication        D. Transmission of Messages
22. Twoway communication is more effective than oneway communication because ________.
  A. it allows feedback
  B. it can distort the intended message of the sender
  C. the sender is aware of the nonverbal messages that might distort the message
  D. none of the above
23. Unless the receiver understand the idea and information as the sender intended, ________.
  A. effective communication can be achieved
  B. effective communication cannot be achieved
  C. the communication process will not end
  D. both B and C
24. Problems that might impede effective communication are caused by________.
  A. the nature of symbol
  B. the semantic variation in their meanings
  C. nonverbal messages
  D. all of the above
25. Which of the following is critical to effective communication?
  A. Creating a message.
  B. Developing empathy for the receiver.
  C. Overcoming noise through effective feedback.
  D. Choosing the most appropriate channel or channels of media.
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
    Scientists claim that air pollution causes a decline in the world's average air temperature. In order to prove that theory, ecologists have turned to historical data in relation to especially huge volcanic eruptions. They suspect that volcanoes affect weather change that are similar to air polluiton.
    One source of information is the effect of the eruption of Tambora, a volcano in Sumbawa, the Dutch East Indias, in April 1815. The largest recorded volcanic eruption, Tambora threw 150 million tons of fine ash into the stratosphere(平流层). The ash from a volcano spreads worldwide in a few days and remains in the air for years. Its effect is to turn incoming solar radiation into space and thus cool the earth. For example, records of weather in England show that between April and November 1815, the average temperature had fallen 4.5 . During the next twentyfour months, England suffered one of the coldest periods of its history. Farmers' records from April 1815 to December 1818 indicate frost throughout the spring and summer and sharp decreases in crop and livestock markets. Since there was a time lag(滞后)  of several years between cause and effect, by the time the world agricultural commodity community had deteriorated, no one realized the cause.
     Ecologists today warn that we face a twofold menace. The everpresent possibility of volcanic eruptions, such as that  of Mr. St. Helens in Washington, added to man's pollution of the atmosphere with oil, gas, coal, and other polluting substances, may bring us increasingly colder weather.
26. It is believed that the earth gets colder when ________.
  A. volcanoes erupt
  B. the air is polluted by modern man
  C. the rays of the sun are turned into space
  D. all of the above
27. The effects of Tambora's eruption were ________.
  A. felt mainly in the Dutch East Indias
  B. of several day's duration worldwide
  C. evidence of pollution's cooling the earth
  D. immediately evident to the world's scientists
28. The cause of cold weather in England from 1815 to 1818 was ________.
  A. decreased crop and livestock production
  B. volcanic ash in the atmosphere
  C. pollution caused by the Industrial Revolution
  D. its proximity to the North sea
29. No one realized the cause of the deterioration of the world agricultural commodity market because ________.
  A. there was a long delay between cause and effect
  B. the weather is beyond our comprehension
  C. weather forecasts were inaccurate
  D. ecologists didn't exist until modern times
30. If, as some scientists predict, the world ends in ice, what might be the cause?
  A. Modern man's pollution of the air.
  B. Volcanic eruptions.
  C. Obliteration(破坏) of solar radiation.
  D. All of the above.
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
     The great advance in rocket theory 40 years ago showed that liquidfuel rockets were far superior in every respect to the skyrocket with its weak solid fuel, the only kind of rocket then known. However, during the last decade, large solidfuel rockets with solid fuels about as powerful as liquid fuels have made their appearance, and it is a favorite layman's(外行) question to inquire which one is “better.” The question is meaningless; one might as well ask whether a gasoline or a diesel engine is “better.” It all depends on the purpose. A liquid fuel rocket is complicated, but has the advantage that it can be controlled beautifully. The burning of the rocket engine can be stopped completely; it can be reignited(重新点火) when desired. In addition, the thrust can be made to vary by adjusting the speed of the fuel pumps. A solidfuel rocket, on the other hand, is rather simple in construction, though hard to build when a really large size is desired. But once you have a solidfuel rocket, it is ready for action at very short notice. A liquidfuel rocket has to be fueled first and cannot be held in readiness for very long after it has been fueled. However, once a solidfuel rocket has been ignited, it will keep buming. It cannot be stopped and reignited whenever desired (it could conceivably be stopped and reignited after a pre calculated time of burning has elapsed) and its thrust cannot be varied. Because a solidfuel rocket can be kept ready for a long time, most military missiles employ solid fuels, but manned spaceflight needs the fine adjustments that can only be provided by liquid fuels. It may be added that a liquidfuel rocket is an expensive device; a large solidfuel rocket is, by comparison, cheap. But the solid fuel, pound per pound, costs about 10 times as much as the liquid fuel. So you have, on the one hand, an expensive rocket with a cheap fuel and on the other hand a comparatively cheap rocket with an expensive fuel.
31. The author feels that a comparison of liquidand solidfuel rockets shows that ________.
  A. neither type is very economical
  B. the liquidfuel rocket is best
  C. each type has certain advantages
  D. the solidfuel rocket is best
32. The most important consideration for manned space flight is that the rocket be ________.
  A. inexpensive to construct
  B. capable of lifting heavy spacecraft into orbit
  C. easily controlled
  D. inexpensive to operate
33. Solidfuel rockets are expensive to operate because of their ________.
  A. size        B. burning time
  C. fuel        D. complicated engines
34. Which of the following statements is not characteristic of liquidfuel rockets?
  A. The fuel is cheap.
B. They are cheap to build.
  C. They can be stopped and reignited.
  D. They must be used soon after fueling.
35. Which of the following statements is a possible disadvantage of solidfuel rockets?
  A. They are complicated.
  B. They are uneasily adjusted.
  C. They are expensive to construct.
  D. They cannot be ready for action with little time for preparation.
