(30point s)PartⅡ Reading Comprehension (40 point s )Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50are based on the following passage:The report came to the British on May 21, 1941. The German battleship Bismarck, the most powerful warship in the world, was moving out into the Atlantic Ocean. Her task: to destroy the ships carrying supplies from the United States to war-torn England.The British had feared such a task. No warship had could match the Bismarck in speed or in firepower. The Bismarck had eight 15-inch guns and 81 smaller guns. She could move at 30 nautical mile（海里）an hour. She was believed to be unsinkable.However, the British had to sink her. They sent out a task force headed by their best battleship Hood to hunt down the Bismarck. On May 24, the Hood found the Bismarck.It was a meeting that the German commander Luetjens did not want to see. His orders were to destroy the British ships that were carrying supplies, but to stay away from a fight with British warships.The battle didn't last long. The Bismarck's first torpedo（鱼雷）hit the Hood, which went down taking all but three of her 1,419 men with her.But in the fight, the Bismarck was slightly damaged（损坏）.Her commander decided to run for repairs to France, which had at that time been taken by the Germans. The British force followed her. However, because of the Bismarck's speed and the heavy fog, they lost sight of her.For two days, every British ship in the Atlantic tried to find the Bismarck, but with no success. Finally, she was sighted by a plane from Ireland. Trying to slow the Bismarck down so that their ships could catch up with her, the British fired at her form the air. The Bismarck was hit.On the morning of May 27, the last battle was fought. Four British ships fired on the Bismarck, and she was finally sunk.46.

Its flight performance and equipment can assure safe operation day and night under adverse meteorological conditions all over the world. From the hottest equator to the coldest polar circle, it can normally take off and land. Even airports at high elevation over 4,000 meters can be listed as normal places for it to deliver and carry goods.B747-200F freighter is one number of B747-200 aircraft. Its overall Length is 69.80m, overall height 19.58m; wing span 59.64m; maximum Take-off weight 377.842kg, maximum landing weight 285,779kg. When fully loaded with fuel, it can still carry payload of 52,889kg. By that time, the range will be 11.050km with standard reserve. The freighter is structurally configurated with upper, main and lower part. Main deck is the main cargo compartment. The forward part of the lower deck is the front lower cargo hold. The rear part is aft lower cargo hold. Near the tail of the aircraft there is a bulk cargo compartment, mainly for mailbags and other bulk cargoes.All cargo compartments are pressurized. All pressurized compartments except aft lower hold is air conditioned. The aft lower hold is heated to keep inside temperature above 6 degrees Celsius. It is not air conditioned. Therefore, the main cargo and front lower cargo hold can be used to carry live goods. Especially the main cargo compartment is a fight place to carry valuable animals, which can be fed and taken care of by cargo master in the air.51. Which statement is true according to this passage?A) B747-200F is by far the largest commercial airliner.B) Sometimes B747-200F can take off and land at the equator.C) Sometimes B747-200F can take off and land at the polar circle.D) Mailbags are often put in a bulk cargo compartment at the rear part of the52. In B747-200F, which compartment can not be used to carry live goods?A) The front lower cargo hold.B) The aft lower cargo hold.C) A bulk cargo compartment.D) The main cargo hold.53. When fully loaded with fuel, it can still carry payload of 52,889kg.Here “Payload” means.A) Zero fuel weight.B) Manufacturer’s empty weight.C) Maximum takeoff gross weight.D) Design landing weight.54. Where is the best place for some valuable animals to live in this freighter?A) The front upper deck.B) The rear upper deck.C) The main cargo compartment.D) The front lower cargo compartment.55. How many decks are there in this freighter according to its structure?A) One.B) TwoC) ThreeD) FourPassage ThreeQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:To get an aeroplane into the air and fly it is one problem; to fly it in right direction and land at a point hundreds, perhaps thousands, of miles away presents another set of problems altogether. The process of finding the way from one place to another is known navigation and, as far as aeroplanes are concerned, this frequently has to be done at night, or in cloudy weather, when the ground cannot be seen.The basic aircraft instruments used for navigation, namely the airspeed indicator, the magnetic compass and an accurate clock only give information about what the aircraft is doing in relation to the air through which it is flying. But unless the day is windless, the air as a whole is itself moving in the relation to the ground, so the navigator must calculate what allowances must be made for the action of the wind on his plane at the height at which he is flying.Modern airlines have other navigational aids. Radar allows a pilot to “see” through the darkness of clouds and radio direction-finding equipment can be turned-in to ground stati ons so that the aeroplane’s position can be accurately pin-pointed. Of course, on a clear day when the ground is visible navigation becomes a fairly simple matter of locating landmarks, such as towns and rivers, which can be easily recognized.56. The mean ing of the word “navigate” is __.A) to get an aeroplane into the airB) to fly an aeroplaneC) to find the way from one place to anotherD) to land an aeroplane57. Radar allows a pilot to see __.A) only during daytimeB) only through the darknessC) only through cloudsD) through the darkness or clouds58. Navigation becomes a fairly simple matter of locating landmarks __.A) at nightB) on a clear dayC) in cloudsD) in bad weather conditions59. Which of the following is not true?A) Navigation frequently has to be done at night.B) Navigation has nothing to do with aeroplaneC) Navigation frequently has to be done in cloudy weatherD) Navigation frequently has to be done when the ground cannot be seen.60. Which one of the following is not included in the basic aircraft instruments used for navigation?A) The airspeed indicatorB) The jet engine.C) The magnetic compass.D) An accurate clock.Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following materials. Read the statement or passage and then choose the best answer to the question. Answer the question on the basis of what is stated or implied in the statement or passage61. A backpacker must be prepared for climatic extremes. When you hit the trail in the morning, the temperature may be below zero. You have to keep warm but also be able to move comfortably and freely. As the sun comes up, the temperature often climbs rapidly, and you must be able to dissipate heat. But then, as you move around an outcropping of rock or into forest cover, the temperature can drop almost instantaneously.The author suggests that a backpacker must beA.insensitive to coldB.experienced at climbingC.adaptableD.courageous62. A personal computer is a small computer based on a microprocessor; it is a microcomputer. Not all microcomputers, however, are personal computers. A microcomputer can be dedicated to a single task such as controlling a machine tool or metering the injection of fuel into an automobile engine; it can be a word processor, a video game, or a “pocket computer” that i s not quite a computer. A personal computer is something different: a standalone computer that puts a wide array of capabilities at the disposal of an individual.The author’s chief aim in the passage is most likely toA.provide an introduction to the subject of personal computersB.convince readers to buy a personal computerC.suggest possible uses for a personal computerD.outline the eventual applications of personal computers63.A recent study conducted by British zoologists concludes that, like birds and other animals, humanbeings possess a “homing instinct.”The study showed that this homing instinct or natural sense of direction is based on some kind of perception of magnetic fields. When blindfolded students who otherwise displayed a keen homing sense were made to wear helmets containing magnets, they became disoriented.The passage suggests that the cause of the students’ disorientation was that theA.magnets in the helmets interfered with their homing senseB.blindfolds prevented them from seeing their surroundingsC.effectiveness of the homing sense declines over timeD.helmet, by covering their ears, interfered with their hearing64. All water molecules form six-sided structures as they freeze and become snow crystals. The particular,virtually unique, crystal shape is determined by temperature, vapor, and wind conditions in the upper atmosphere. Snow crystals are uniformly symmetrical because these conditions affect all six sides simultaneously.The purpose of the passage is to presentA. a personal observationB. a solution to a problemC.factual informationD.opposing scientific theories65.Although more people than ever are gardening today, there could very well be a decline in gardening inthe near future. Studies show a large number of dropout gardeners, most of them people whose hopes of large savings on food were frustrated by their lack of gardening know-how.The main idea of the passage is thatA.gardening is a thing of the futureB.people have divorced themselves from natureC.gardening dropouts are people who give up easilyD.gardening is not as simple as people thinkPartⅢ Translation (15 point s )Directions: In this part, there are 10 items that you should translate into Chinese.1. Make sure that all the downlock pins of the three landing gears and the nose gear steering bypass pin are removed. Account them for quantity and then give them to the crew.2. Prior to engine start, perform a final walk around to check all doors and servicing panels are properly closed. Make sure the landing gear safety pins are removed and remove the chocks. Direct the crew to start the engines, and direct the crew to taxi the aircraft. For the airplanes at the gate, make sure the nose wheel steering bypass valve pin is removed after pushback is complete.3. Review the log-book entry, check EICAS message, report the failures and status message which are reported by flight crew and displayed or recorded by EICAS, take action for the failures.4.Localized scratches, nicks and dents that might be induced in other areas of the fuselage skin during either manufacture or maintenance operations are not considered scribes.5. Scribe lines can be both tactile and non-tactile. Discoloration of the aluminum clad layer or small surface imperfections do not qualify as a scribe. A lightning strike at a lap joint or butt splice does not qualify as a scribe.6. Make a determination of which bearings are worn, and replace those bearings. Make the determination by using close visual inspection, looking for indications of corrosion and absence of lubrication, and by using slight hand pressure.7．Wheel wells require special attention by the aviation technician because abrasion from mud, dirt, and water remove the protective coating, and this allows the dirty grease to hold moisture against the metal and cause constant corrosion problems.8．A crazing is usually caused by an incorrect installation. You can also cause a crazing if you accidentally apply materials which are not applicable for acrylic windows.9．The basic function of the autopilot is to control the flight of the aircraft and maintain it on a pre-determined path in space without any action being required by the pilot.10．The digital flight data acquisition unit provides the necessary circuitry to acquire, precondition, multiplex and convert into a standard digital format, the inputs from various airplane sensors.。
