Tải tài liệu, văn pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí annually upon the continents This vast amount is required to replenish the lakes and streams, springs and water tables on which all flora and fauna are dependent Thus, the hydrosphere permits organic existence The hydrosphere has strange characteristics because water has properties unlike those of any other liquid One anomaly is that water upon freezing expands by about percent, whereas most liquids contract on cooling For this reason, ice floats on water bodies instead of sinking to the bottom If the ice sank, the hydrosphere would soon be frozen solidly, except for a thin layer of surface melt water during the summer season Thus, all aquatic life would be destroyed and the interchange of warm and cold currents, which moderates climate, would be notably absent Another outstanding charateristic of water is that water has a heat capacity which is the highest of all liquids and solids except ammonia This characterisitc enables the oceans to absorb and store vast quantities of heat, thereby often preventing climatic extremes In addition, water dissolves more substances than any other liquid It is this characteristic which helps make oceans a great storehouse for minerals which have been washed down from the continents In several areas of the world these minerals are being commercially exploited Solar evaporation of salt is widely practised, potash is extracted from the Dead Sea, and magnesium is produced from sea water along the American Gulf Coast 45: The author’s main purpose in this passage is to _ A illustrate the importance of conserving water B describe the properties and uses of water C compare water with other liquids D explain how water is used in commerce and industry 46: The phrase “this vast amount” in line of paragraph refers to A 80,000 million cubic miles of water B 24,000 cubic miles of rain C 80,000 cubic miles of water D 300 million cubic miles of water 47: The word “replenish” in paragraph can best replaced by A fill again B replace C evaporate D form 48: According to the passage, fish can survive in the oceans because A evaporation and condensation create a water cycle B there are currents in the oceans C they not need oxygen D ice floats 49: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a characterisitic of water?

For one thing, as more women earn advanced degrees in business and enter the corporate world, they are finding obstacles Women are still excluded from most executive suites Charlotte Taylor, a management consultant, had noted, "In the 1970s women believed if they got an MBA and worked hard they could become chairman of the board Now they've found out that isn't going to happen, so they go out on their own" In the past, most women entrepreneurs worked in "women's" fields: cosmetics and clothing, for example But this is changing Consider ASK Computer Systems, a $22million-a-year computer software business It was founded in 1973 by Sandra Kurtzig, who was then a housewife with degrees in math and engineering When Kurtzig founded the business, her first product was software that let weekly newspapers keep tabs on their newspaper carriers-and her office was a bedroom at home, with a shoebox under the bed to hold the company's cash After she succeeded with the newspaper software system, she hired several bright computer-science graduates to develop additional programs When these were marketed and sold, ASK began to grow It now has 200 employees, and Sandra Kurtzig owns $66.9 million of stock Of course, many women who start their own businesses fail, just as men often They still face hurdles in the business world, especially problems in raising money; the banking and finance world is still dominated by men, and old attitudes die hard Most businesses owned by women are still quite small But the situation is changing; there are likely to be many more Sandra Kurtzigs in the years ahead 55: What is the main idea of this passage? A.Women today are better educated than in the past, making them more attractive to the business world B.The computer is especially lucrative for women today C Women are better at small business than men are D Women today are opening more business of their own 56:The word “excluded” is closest meaning to _ A not permitted in B often invited to C decorators of D charged admission to 57: All of the following were mentioned in the passage as detriments to women in the business world EXCEPT _ A.Women were required to stay at home with their families B Women lacked ability to work in business ... to spend a lot of money buying A a thick old wooden table B a thick wooden old table C an old wooden thick table D a wooden thick old table Question 14 : It’s important to project a(n) ... women live more _ than women in Asian countries a dependent b independence c independent d independently Getting good education and making money themselves have given women more _ a free... women a easily b freely c independently d certainly 14 Many women have been _ for their works and research a illegal b agreed c dependent d famous 15 Many decades ago, medicine was _ for
