Task 1
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.
Very high waves are destructive when they strike the land. Fortunately, this seldom happened. One reason is that out at sea, waves moving in one direction almost always run into waves moving in a different direction. The two sets of waves tend to cancel each other out. Another reason is that water is shallower near the shore. As a wave gets closer to land, the shallow bottom helps reduce its strength.
But the power of waves striking the shore can still be very great. During a winter gale(大风), waves sometimes strike the shore with the force of 6,000 pounds for each square foot. That means a wave, 25 feet high and 500 feet along its face, may strike the shore with a force of 75 million pounds.
Yet the waves, no matter how big or how violent, affect only the surface of the sea. During the most violent storms, the water a hundred fathoms(600 feet) beneath the surface is just as calm as on a day without a breath of wind.
According to the passage, destruction caused by high waves occurs ______.
A. regularly
B. rarely
C. frequently
D. suddenly
W: You're right, Don. That sign says Chagford Town Hall. But there's a more interesting notice on the other side of the square. Do you see what it says? "Open for Devon Cream Teas".
M: Oh, yes, so it does. Oh, I must get a newspaper. There's a newsagent next door.
W: What for?
M: To find out what's been happening.
W: I don't need a newspaper. We must have been walking for at least six hours. My feet have been hurting for a- bout four hours and I've been starving since we shared that tin of cold beans.
M: You're hungry again? I see what you mean. That tea shop does look interesting. We could plan tomorrow's walk while we were having tea.
W: So toady we had complete Devon cream teas, with additional sandwiches and cakes, and another order of scones. I feel better. How about you?
M: A Devon cream tea is better than a tin of cold beans. In fact, it's better than almost anything... except a good newspaper. Do you ever buy a newspaper?
W: Not often. But I watch television.
M: Television! It only scratches the surface.
W: Television coverage is very dramatic.
M: Yes. You learn what happened but never why it happened.
W: Rubbish.
M: TV workers aren't in aren’t in a position to fill in the background.
W: They were there.
M: No, they only show you the bits.
M: Yes, of course. See to it, will you, Turner. I must get a newspaper before the newsagent closes.
W: Could you get me a paper?
M: What for?
W: To find out what's on television.
