3．Blind photography sounds strange．But a striking exhibition of photographs in California argues that it develops as a result of the contemporary art．The show"Sight Unseen"，at the California Museum of Photography until Aug．29，includes everything：underwater scenes，landscapes，abstracts and everything else you might expect from a"sighted"photographer．
    How do the blind take their photographs？Some rely on assistants to set up and then describe the shots （鏡頭），and others just point and shoot in the right place．"Just like any good artists，"says McCulloh．"They have their unique ways of operating．"One participating photographer is Pete Eckert，an artist with multiple degrees in design and sculpture who only turned to photography after losing his vision in the mid-1990s．He opens the shutter （快門） on his camera and then uses flashlights，lights，and candies to paint his scene on film．A former fashion photographer in Chicago，Weston，lost his vision due to AIDS in 1996 and focuses on images of destruction and disability．His photos are also a star of the show．
    What do gallery-goers say？"I was very impressed by it．The technique and experience was amazingly different，"says John Hesketh，a printmaker in Anaheim．"You never have a sense of feeling sorry for these people because they've worked very hard to prove their value．"
    Beyond the praise，however，the exhibition also makes a great example for disabled people everywhere．That point was explained in early May during a discussion on the TV show．At the very end of the talk，one attendee expressed his opinion．"This exhibition is extraordinary and revolutionary for many reasons．I think that by being an artist with a disability，you are continuing the work of those people who fought for basic civil rights to gain access and to have a voice．In that way，it's so wonderful that your photographs say it all．"
63．From the passage we know that some blind people take photos byB
A．describing the things to their assistants
B．holding the camera and shooting randomly
C．opening the shutter with the help of others
D．using special equipment designed for them
64．We can learn from the passage that blind photographersC
A．were not born blind
B．do jobs related to art
C．focus on different subjects
D．like photos of destruction
65．What is people's reaction to the blind photography show？A
A．They admire the blind photographers'hard work．
B．They feel really sorry for those blind photographers．
C．They think some have good techniques while others not．
D．They can understand （lie real meaning of each photograph．
66．The significance of the exhibition lies in the fact thatD．
A．the California Museum of Photography receives praises for holding the show
B．the public have a chance to know what the blind people are concerned about
C．the blind photographers have a good place to show their works
D．the exhibition can be very inspiring to the blind in the world．

14．Western airliner manufacturers seem to be tripping over （絆倒） themselves in their eagerness to sign cooperative agreements with Asian partners as a low-cost route to developing new airliners．Their potential Asian partners seem to be tripping over themselves to sign such agreements，as a low-cost route to acquiring new airliner technology．If they are not careful the two sides will end up tripping over each other the one by selling its birth-right for short-term gain，the other by trying to break into a market which isn't big enough to sustain （忍受） it．
Technology transfer works in a growing market，where the aspirations of the new entrant receiving that technology can be met through expansion．The airliner market is not such a device．
Even the most optimistic projections of airliner sales for the next 20years show that airliner manufacture can only be profitable if a small number of aircraft builders share the available sales．It follows that if new manufacturers come into the market and take sales，their sales must come from substitution，not expansion．
Given the complexity of today's airliners，it is unlikely that any new entrant will have both the financial and technical resources to come into the market without the involvement of an established manufacturer．In the short term，such involvement may not be to the exclusive benefit of the new entrant most of the established manufacturers are searching for ways to reduce costs of manufacture．
In the short term，it can be of benefit to an established Western manufacturer to have either components of complete air-frames made or assembled in lower-wage economics such as China，Taiwan or Korea，while retaining the design，development and marketing of aircraft for itself．It would be a very unwise Western manufacturer which did not notice the fact that these developing economies are acquiring skills （like computing） at least as quickly as they are acquiring skills in metal bashing （猛擊）．
The danger comes when the new entrant no longer needs the established Western partner because it has acquired the technical and intellectual ability to design and build its own aircraft．An Asian partner may well find itself in the happy position of having the low-cost labour base，the high-cost technology base and the vital financial base to build a new airliner．

74．The author's attitude towards Western/Eastern cooperation can be described asC．
A．positive   B．progressive   C．conservative   D．negative
75．"The airliner market is not such a device"means that the airliner marketD．
A．does not encourage technology transfer
B．is too limited to offer chances of success
C．requires hi-tech rather than unaccepted devices
D．is full of competitions for new entrants
76．According to the author，a wise established manufacturer shouldD．
A．try to benefit from both financial and technical resources
B．break up his partnership with the East once profits are made
C．keep a tight told over hi-tech development and marketing of airliners
D．cooperate with Asian partners for a short time
77．The word"base"in the last paragraph representsA．
A．a(chǎn) place for aircraft production

18．Cancun is a seaside town in Mexico，where most tourists come here to enjoy the beach，water sports and night life．In fact，it is so modern and Americanized that you might think you were in southern California or Florida．
But just a short two-hour hike from the town lie the ruins of the city of Chichen-Itza，one of the capitals of the lost Maya（瑪雅）civilization．The center of the ruins of this city is the pyramid of El Castillo．The ancient Mayan religious people climbed this pyramid during festival to honor the Sun god．Tourists today climb it to view the architectural achievements of Chichen-Itza and to prove their fearlessness of heights and steep （陡峭的）climbs．There is a sign in Spanish，admonishing visitors"It's dangerous to go up．"I gladly ignored it and started my climb．
The climbing was tough．The steps were higher than one might normally take．，but the climb was not fearful at all．From the top of the pyramid，I had a wonderful view of the ruins of this Mayan city．What was most striking to me was that just beyond the ruins of splendid structures，gardens，temples and what looks like a modern sports stadium，you could only see forests for miles and miles．It was almost as if some race had mysteriously come out of nowhere，built it up and then suddenly disappeared from the planet，leaving only stones in its space．
The only remains on the top of the pyramid were the Temple of Kukulcan．During the festivals to worship the Sun god，only the high ranks would have the right to enter this temple．
After shooting a few pictures，I realized it was time to go down．Only then did I discover that what people fear about the climb is not the trip going up，but the way going down．I saw a few brave souls who were walking down as if they were in their own house．Looking down at the steepness of the pyramid，I desperately feared this great height．My first desire was to joke with a few people，"Where is the elevator（電梯）？"I figured that a civilization that was this advanced would have had the foresight（預(yù)見(jiàn)） to construct an elevator．Lacking such modern equipment，I had to use the chain provided by the Mexican tourist authorities and climb down on all fours．
My climb was complete eventually．I quickly got on the bus back to my comfortable hotel．Leaving the ruined city，I was still wondering what possibly happened long ago．But a few hours later，I was back in the modern world drinking cocktails on the beach，bathing in the sunshine before boarding the plane and waiting for my trip back home to the US，where all the modern things such as elevators are available!
62．Why did the writer pay a visit to the ruined city of Chichen-Itza？A
A．He wanted to climb the pyramid of EL Castillo and know about the Mayan civilization．
B．He would got to the Temple of Kukulcan to attend a religious festival to honor the Sun god．
C．He thought the city of Chichen-Itza was quite different from the modern town of Cancun．
D．He was attracted by the ruined ancient buildings there and wanted to take some photos．
63．The underlined word"admonishing"in Paragraph 2 probably means"C"．
A．urging          B．forcing          C．warning         D．frightening
64．Which of the following best shows climbing the pyramid of EL Castillo is a difficult task？D
A．The steps are very high and it is much more scaring to climb to the top．
B．The climbing calls for courage and patience，and also takes a long time．
C．When tourist climb up to the top，there is no elevator to take them down．
D．The pyramid is high and steep，and climbing down is much more fearful．
65．From the last paragraph，we can infer that the writerB．
A．had a bad impression of the visit and decided to leave as soon as possible．
B．thought modernization could offer people comforts and conveniences．
C．got tired of the modern life and tried a different one in his own way．
D．enjoyed himself in the climb though it was very tiring and dangerous．

8．The recent，apparently successful，prediction by mathematical models of an appearance of El Nino-the warm ocean How that periodically develops along the Pacific coast of South America has excited researchers．Jacob Bjerknes pointed out years ago how winds might create either abnormally warm or abnormally cold water in the eastern equatorial （赤道附近的） Pacific．Nevertheless，before the creation of the models，no one could explain why conditions should regularly change between appearances of the warm El Nino and the so-called anti-El Nino．The answer，at least if the current model that links the behavior of the ocean to that of the atmosphere is correct，is to be found in the ocean．
         It has long been known that during an El Nino，two conditions exist：unusually warm water extends along the eastern Pacific and winds blow from the west into the warmer air rising over the warm water in the east．The contribution of the model is to show that the winds of an El Nino，which raise sea level in the east，send a signal to the west lowering sea level at the same time．According to the model，that signal is created as a negative （負(fù)的） Rossby wave，a wave of lower sea level，that moves westward parallel to the equator at 25 to 85 kilometers per day．Taking months to move across the Pacific，Rossby waves march to the western boundary of the Pacific basin，which is modeled as a smootli wall but in reality consists of quite irregular island chains．
         When the waves meet the western boundary，they are reflected，and the model predicts that Rossby waves will be broken into many coastal Kelvin waves carrying the same negative sea-level signal．These eventually shoot toward the equator，and then head eastward along the equator drove by the earth at a．speed of about．250 kilometers per day．When enough Kelvin waves of adequate amplitude （振幅） arrive from the western Pacific，their negative sea-level signal overcomes the feedback mechanism，raising the sea level，and they begin to drive the system into the opposite cold mode．This produces a gradual change in winds，one that will eventually send positive sea-level Rossby waves westward，waves that will eventually return as cold cycle-ending positive Kelvin waves beginning another warming cycle．
67．What is the passage mainly about？D
A．How Rossby waves are found．
B．Where El Nino is formed．
C．What the models predict．
D．How the models work．
68．Where does El Nino often appear？B
A．Along the western coast of the USA．
B．In the Pacific in the south，of the equator．
C．In the Pacific in the north of the equator．
D．Along the southern coast of South America．
69．What is right according to the passage？A
A．Rossby waves and Kelvin waves move in opposite directions along the equator．
B．People could explain El Nino before the creation of the mathematical models．
C．Adequate sea-level waves can produce westward positive cold cycle．
D．The speed of Rossby waves is faster than that of Kelvin waves．
70．What does the underlined word"waves"in Paragraph 3 refer to？D
A．Kelvin waves． B．Sea-level signals．C．Coastal waves．  D．Rossby waves．

13．Some years ago，on a hot summer day in south Florida，a little boy decided to go for a swim in the cold swimming hole behind his house．
In a hurry to dive into the cool water，he did not realize an alligator（短吻鱷）was swimming towards the shore．His mother in the house，looking out of the window，saw the two as they got closer and closer together．In fear，she ran towards the water，yelling to the son as loudly as she could．
It was too late．The alligator reached him．
From the dock，the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator got his legs．That began an incredible tug of war（拔河）between the two．The alligator was much stronger than the mother，but the mother would not let go．A farmer happened to drive by，heard her screams，ran from his truck，and shot the alligator．
Amazingly，after weeks and weeks in the hospital，the little boy survived．His leg were extremely scarred by the animal's attack，and on his arms were scratches （抓痕） from mothers'fingernails where she had tried to hang on to the son she loved．
The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy asked if he would show him his scars．The boy lifted his pant legs．And then，he proudly said to the reporter："But look at my arms．I have great scars on my arms，too．I have them because my mom would not let go．"
You and I can identify with （理解） that little boy．We have scars，too．No，not from alligator，or anything quite so dramatic．But the scars of a painful past．Some of those scares are ugly and have caused us deep regret．
But some wounds，my friend，are because someone has refused to let go．In your struggle，maybe someone has been there holding on to you．

A．dived into the cool water at once
B．was too afraid to move
C．shouted a warning to her boy
D．got ready to fight the crocodile

A．There were scars on the boy's arms and legs．
B．The mother won the"match"because of her strength．
C．A farmer scared the alligator away by hitting it in the eyes．
D．A crocodile attacked the boy when he and his mother were swimming．

A．how deep the scars were
B．what a brave boy he was
C．how recently he had survived an attack
D．how great his mother was

A．We can be brave and never let go of our loved ones．
B．We may be faced with danger in our lives．
C．We may have to depend on the kindness of strangers．
D．We may have scars that come from pain and love．
