Earthquakes
have
never
really affected Hong Kong, but this has not been
the case on the mainland,
where
their
effects through history have often been devastating, causing widespread destruction and loss of life.


In ancient China, earthquakes were occasionally followed by riots and rebellions, so it was important for the
emperor to find out about
quakes in
remote parts of the country as soon

41

occurred. T

far from
easy in an age before modern telecommunications.


In the year 132 AD, however, the scientist and inventor, Zhang Heng, devised a forerunner of the modern
seismograph (

Part IV
Reading Comprehension ( 45minutes, 30 points, 1 point each)

Passage 1



In a new book published this month called Gray Dawn, Peter G. Peterson predicts that in less than 25 years,
senior citizens will comprise more than 18 percent of the entire U.S. population ----
the same proportion as in
Florida today. Put another way, that means that early in the 21
century, there will be more grandparents than
grandchildren. Peterson, a former secretary of Commerce under Nixon, is primarily concerned
with what the
aging of America---
a product of both longer life spans and falling birthrates---
means for Social Security and
Medicare. But the social ramifications will be at least as profound as the economic ones. Will all those seniors
shift the
balance
of political
power?
How will
Hollywood
executives,
funeral directors
and the auto industry
change their products to meet the demands of a markedly older public? Because women tend to outlive men, will
an older America also be significantly more female?
In short, what will America be like when we all become a
Senior Nation?
st



Anyone who has visited West Palm Beach or T
ucson knows part of the answer, lots of people driving very
slowly in big cars on their way to early-
bird dinners. But that
’
s only the most broad-
brush observation. T
he
political changes alone will be enough to bury all those stereotypes about the feeble elderly. Peterson estimates
that by 2038, people 64 and older
will make up 34 percent of the electorate-
up from only 16 percent
in 1966. you
think
Social
Security
is
a
sacred
cow now?
And
the
battle
over
entitlements
may
get
uglier.
T
he
65-
plus
population is about 85 percent
white. T
he younger generations---
the ones footing
the seniors
’
bills---
are much
more racially mixed.
“
What you
’
ve got is an overwhelmingly white generation with enormous influence, asking
African-
Americans, Hispanics and Asians to support them for decades,
”
says Ken Dychtwald, president of Age
Wave, a consulting firm that focuses on the maturing marketplace.
“
T
he tension becomes not only generational
but racial.
”

51. What is true of American population?

A Florida
’
s population is 18% of the entire U.S. population.

B American people will represent 18% of the world
’
s population.

Passage 2



Weary after
centuries of fighting
the surging North Sea from gushing into
this
low
-
lying
nation,
the Netherlands
is rethinking how to keep Dutch feet dry.


T
he traditional method of stopping flood water has been to build dikes. But at the Second World Water Forum,
a five-
day conference that was to start today in T
he Hague, Dutch water experts were to explain that the best
way to handle the water may be to let it in.



In the Netherlands---
half of which lies below sea level---
the Ministry of Water Management has designated
several low
-
lying regions as
“
calamity flood plains
”
that would be used in emergencies to divert floodwaters
from populated areas, spokesman Hans Scholoten said.



Referring to
the
fable of a Dutch
boy
named Hans Brinker
who saved the
nat
ion from
disaster by plugging
a
hole
in the sea barrier, Undersecretary for Water Management Monique de Vries said: Hans Brinker will have to take
his finer out of the dike and pull on his galoshes.
”



Although the
country
has built
dikes and
reclaimed land since the Middle Ages, repeated flooding of farmland
in
recent years and high maintenance costs have led to a rethinking about the old methods.



“
Sometimes
it
doesn’t

make
sense to
ignore
the
processes
of nature,
”

said
Bert
Blasé
,
spokesman
for
an
association of regional water boards.
“
Flooding certain nature reserve areas every few years would be good for
the environment.
”
Part of the plan involves
widening river beds
to allow
larger volumes of
water
to flow
to
the sea.
Although it is still unclear
how much land could eventually be allocated to the project--- some inhabitants would
have to be relocated---
large areas of the eastern Dutch province of Gelderland have been labeled as suitable.
While flooding is a serious threat to the Dutch, global warmin
g could expose many more in this country of
15 million to drought and water pollution if governments do not take drastic measures, conference organizers
have warned.
More
than 3,5000 delegates from 150 countries
will attend
the conference,
the follow
-
up to the first global
water congress, which was held in Marrakech, Morocco, two years ago.

With one-
sixth of the world
’
s population lacking clean drinking water, forum organizers have called for
annual global spending on water problems to be more than doubled from about $$70 billion or $$80 billion to $$180
billion.
In
the
closing
stages
of
the
conference,
ministers from
more
than
100
countries will
meet
to discuss
sustainable water for the world
’
s growing population and farmers who grows crops for mass consumption.
56. What is the new idea the experts put forward to keep Dutch feet dry?

A T
o build more powerful dams.




B T
o let the sea water in the inside.

C To ignore the process of nature


D T
o flood certain nature reserves.

57. Hans Brinker is known as a national hero____.

A In Dutch history who succeeded in diverting floodwater from the populated areas.


B who took his finger out of the dike and built a sea barrier.


C who pulled his finger on his galoshes and saved the nation from being drowned.


D a legend who saved the nation by stopping the sea flood in

58. Which of the following is NOT
included in the forth-
coming Dutch project in saving the nation from possible
sea floods?

A T
o designate some low
-
lying regions as
“
calamity flood plains
”
.

B To let the sea flood certain nature reserve areas every few years.


C To broaden some river beds to allow more river water to flow to the sea.


D To expose many more areas of the country to drought or flood.
59. All the following are the topics to be discussed in the Second World Water Forum EXCEPT_____


A how to diver floodwaters from the populated areas of Holland.


B how to reduce water pollution and provide more healthy drinking water for the growing population.


C how to help farmers to keep on the sustainable agriculture by watering their crops timely.


D how to take measures to slow down the ever-
accelerating global warming up tendency.

60. T
he best way to paraphrase the sentence
“
Sometimes it
doesn
’
t make sense to ignore
the process of nature
”

is ____

A Sometimes it
’
s no use ignoring the process of nature.
B In some cases man can and must neglect the law of nature.

C It would often be harmful for Man to go against the process of nature


D Man must always follow the way of how things are going on
Passage 3


“
Refrigerator production in China jumped from 1.4million units in 1985 to
10.
6million in 1998,
”
according to
David Fridley, a researcher in the Department of Energy
’
s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA.


T
he Global Environmental Facility,
through the United Nations Development Program,
has
decided to
fund $$9.3
million of the $$40 million program to help the government of China transform its market for refrigerators. T
he
refrigerator project began in 1989 when the EPA signed an agreement with the government of C
hina to assist in
the elimination of CFCs from refrigerators. Berkeley Lab
has been involved
in the project since 1995 through the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, developing the market transformation program based on the success of
the
first
phase
of the
project, which
involved designing and testing
