Wind is the great maker of waves. There are exceptions, such as the tidal waves, sometimes produces by earthquakes under the sea. But the waves most of us know are produced by winds blowing over the sea.?Now before constructing an imaginary life history of a typical wave, we need to know certain physical things about it. A wave has height, from trough (low point)to crest (high point),and it has length—the distance from this crest to that of the following wave. The period of the wave means the time it takes for succeeding crests to pass a fixed point. None of these things stays the same— for all depend upon the depth of the water and many other matters.?

The water that makes up a wave does not advance with it across the sea. Each drop of water turns around in a little circle with the passing of the wave, but returns very nearly to its original position. And it is fortunate that this is so, for if the huge masses of water that make up a wave actually moved across the sea, sailing would be impossible.

If we want to find the speed of a wave, we may use the following way:

Speeding=Wavelength×Frequency

Here, wavelength is the distance between two high points (crests), frequency means the number of cycles per second.?

41.What causes waves according to the passage??

Earthquakes and nothing else.   B. Wind and volcanos.

C. Wind and earthquakes.          D. Wind and water.

42.Which of the following is true according to the text??

A. The water of a wave moves away across the sea.?

B. The water of a wave remains almost in the same place.?

C. The water of a wave goes with the passing of the wave.?

D. The length of a wave means the distance between crest and trough.

43.The underlined word “succeeding” means__________.?

A. reaching an aim    B. doing well?  C. following after   D. taking place

44.If the speed of wave 1 is 100 cm/s, and its frequency 10;and the frequency of wave 2 is 300,while its speed is twice that of wave 1.Which of the following is true??

A. The wave-lengths of the two are equal.?

B. The wave-length of wave 1 is 10 times longer than that of Wave 2.?

C. The wave-length of wave 2 is longer than that of wave 1.?

D. The wave-length of wave 1 is longer than that of wave 2.?

 (05·全國(guó)ⅠE篇)

“Soon, you’re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known i: exactly; tab-stops: 105.0pt 189.0pt 273.0pn my neighborhood.
   One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1. 25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.
   Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. bushes must be pruned(剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available(可用的) in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.
   Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing(施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.
   Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold; First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw(縮回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June, but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.
   Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ll think about th painful at tomorrow.
71. What ate the requirements for the healthy growth of roses?
   A. A lot of care and the right soil.
   B. Frequent pruning and fertilizing.
   C. Tomato plants grown alongside.
   D. Cages placed around the roots.
72. The writer planted the tomato because ______.
   A. it cost only $1. 25
   B. the soil was just right for it
   C. there was room for it in the garden
   D. the roses’ branches needed to be covered
73. This year the writer’s roses were ______.
   A. removed from the rose bed
   B. picked along with the tomatoes
   C. mostly damaged by too much sunlight
   D. largely hidden under the tomato plant
74. By saying “the prize so dearly won” in paragraph 5, the writer wants to ______.
   A. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes
   B. show the hardship of growing the roses
   C. express her liking for the roses
   D. express her care for the tomatoes
75. In the situation described in the text, one good thing is that ______.
   A. the roses cost the writer little money
   B. the writer has a daily harvest of tomatoes
   C. someone will help the writer make the decision
   D. the writer can now enjoy both the roses and tomatoes
