This primitive currency is the basis ofa complex monetary and trading system in theSanta Cruz Islands of the southwest Pacific.Improbable as it is, the red=feathercurrency fits the most rigorous definition ofthe term money: it serves as a means ofaccumulating wealth and as a universal mediumof exchange in the highly diversified commerceof the islands. It is fully interchangeable,37. Red-feather currency is one of theworld's ____.[A] most universal types of money[B] earliest forms of money[C] most unusual forms of money[D] most complex money system38. The primitive currency described inthis passage is used in ____.[A] the entire southwest Pacificeach belt having a precisely negotiable value in terms of other belts. Moreover, it has maintained its economic integrity against the recent invasion of the Australian dollar -- it is still the only acceptable species for thepurchase of brides, fine pigs, and certainforms of labor.The use of money is not limited to high civilization; actually many primitive peoples have devised moneys of their own.Primitive monetary systems require the same balance of supply and demand that confronts the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve System; the value of the money must be carefully regulated. Lacking devices to regulate currency demand artificially, primitivesocieties must rely on natural or social circumstances. In the red-feather currency system, the supply of new money is regulatedby availability of red feathers and by theoutput of the people who traditionally make the money. Old currency goes out of circulation, because it loses value as its color fades.[B] only one of the Santa Cruz Islands[C] all of the Santa Cruz Islands[D] both A and C39. Red-feather belts are the onlyacceptable species for ____.[A] certain traditional purchases[B] new red-feather belts[C] any kind of commerce[D] accumulating wealth40.

Thedifference of 2 pounds per square inch betweenthe inside and outside pressure may not seemlike much. But suppose a tornado funnel passesover a small building that measures 20 by 10feet. On each square inch of the building,there is 2 pounds of pressure from the insidethat is not balanced by air pressure outside42. Which of the following is the main topicof the passage?____[A] How tornadoes can be prevented.[B] Why tornadoes cause so much damage.[C] Where tornadoes are formed.[D] When tornadoes usually occur.43.

On the ceiling, that adds up to an unbalanced pressure of 57,600 pounds. The pressure on the four walls adds up to 172,800pounds.If windows are open m the building, some of the inside air will rush out throughthem. This will balance the pressure inside and outside the building. But if the windows areshut tightly, the enormous inside pressure maycause the building to burst.Unfortunately, heavy rain and hail(雹) often occur in thunderstorms that later produce tornadoes. So people frequently shut all windows to protect their property. This may cause far worse damage later. For the samereason, tornado cellars must have an air vent (通风口). Otherwise, the cellar door might be blown out when a tornado passes over it.44. According to the passage, tornadoes can destroy buildings because the____ [A] force of a tornado increases the airpressure in a building[B] air pressure inside a tornado isless than the air pressure inside a building [C] weight of a tornado can crush abuilding's roof when it passes over[D] air pressure at the center of atornado is over 172,000 pounds45.

K. foundthat [59] t em per at ur edifferences between day and night appear to followdistinct five-days-on, two-days-off [60] pat t er ns.The scientists [61] checkedthe data for all possible naturalinfluencessuchas the lunar cycle as well as random [62]var i at ionsand foundneither to be at play. The only factor that could be causing the fluctuations was the Monday-through-Friday grind, they concluded in a recently published report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.The meteorologists propose the differences in average temperatures between Saturdaysas [63] opposed to Thursdays, for example,may [64]st emfrom workweek-induced pollution. Forster explains thatduring the workweek more people commute and more factories are in operation. Both contribute to the amount of particle pollution in the air.Particles(微粒)can influence cloud cover, but the kind ofparticles [65] r el easedinto the atmosphere can lead to different changes,says Forster.Lighter particles provide a surface for cloud droplets to form. This leads to anincrease in cloud cover, which, in [66]t ur n, can lead to an increasein temperature since clouds have an insulating effect.完形填空Directions:In this section, you will read a passage with some blanks.

Some of theunderdeveloped countries have resorted tothis 68 approach, withoutnotable success. It contains several fallacies (谬误). For one thing, it usually means 69 into marginal landswhere the soil and climatic conditions give a poor 70 Cultivation may quickly use up this soil, 71 it for pasture or forest growth. It is often possible, of course, to turn such lands into useful farms by agricultural 72 ; for instance, a sophisticated knowledge of how to use the available water 73 an irrigationsystem may reclaim semi-arid (半干旱) grasslands for crop-growing. But the cultivation of marginal lands is in any caseunsuccessful 74 it is carried out by farmers with a centuries old tradition of experience or by modern experts with a detailed knowledge of the 75 conditions and the varieties of crops that are suitable for those conditions. Such knowledge is 76 absent in theunderdeveloped countries. 77 , weknow that highly developed countries have not[B] of[C] by[D] in68.[A] defective[B] elementary[C] invisible [D] Straightforward69.[A] moving [B] entering[C] pouring [D] reacting70.[A] reflection[B] amount [C] return[D] outputincreased the 78 of acres under cultivation, 79 on the contrary have 80 their marginal lands and steadily reduced the proportion of the population engaged in farming. Efficient farming 81 concentration on the most efficient lands, and it results in greaterproduction with 82 people. The problem of the underdeveloped countries, then is to increase the 83 of their farms and farmers. This would allow them to industrialize and to feed their people more adequately. It is not easy to 84 , however. The peasant farmers are conservative and resistant to change 85 their methods of cultivation. The underdeveloped countries are greatly in need of studies and experiments to help themto 86 modern agricultural methods to their own conditions.71.[A] ruining[B] to ruin[C] ruin[D] ruined72.[A] satisfaction[B] know －how[C] standpoint[D] temptation73.[A] from[B] beyond[C] through[D] over 74.[A] before[B] unless[C] although[D] since75.[A] different[B] local[C] cultivation[D] traditional76.[A] conspicuous[B] transparently[C] conspicuously[D] transparent77.[A] Furthermore[B] Rather[C] Nevertheless[D] Basically78.[A] numbers[B] number[C] quantity[D] quantities79.[A] and[B] however[C] though[D] but80.[A] utilized[B] affected[C] interfered[D] abandoned81.[A] calls for[B] focuses[C] intends[D] disposes82.[A] fewer[B] few[C] more[D] less83.[A] criterion[B] sake[C] productivity[D] treatment84.[A] consider[B] transmit[C] accomplish[D] contribute85.[A] to[B] in[C] about[D] for86.[A] preserve[B] specialize[C] approach[D] adapt单句翻译（汉译英）Directions:In this section you are required to translate some Chinese sentences into English.
