1.听力 A:3篇7分 B:2篇8分 C:3篇10分 2.阅读理解(2分一空,共15题三个阅读) Engineering Design in Earthquake Engineering design aims to link economic, social, environmental and of course safety factors to produce the best solution. This is especially true in earthquake engineering where it is possible to design a building that is “safe” for all types of earthquakes but does not fit the design brief. For example it is not economically feasible to design buildings in Bristol to withstand a large earthquake as the chances are very small. Similarly a square concrete structure that has small windows and thick walls may be the ideal design for a particular area however it wouldn't fit a design brief asking for a modern high-tech design. This balance of factors can only be achieved by engineers combining experience and knowledge of the area where the structure is to be located. Design practice has been changing over the last few years. The older design requirements used to insist that in an earthquake the building should maintain enough structural integrity to remain standing. This meant that if the serviceability limit state was passed the structure would have to be demolished, as it would be no longer safe to use. Although this concept saves lives as people can escape from buildings it does nothing to prevent the huge financial cost of a large earthquake as a large proportion of buildings have to be demolished and rebuilt. Thus the new design requirements demand that the structure should remain standing in an earthquake and additionally not have to be demolished. The other factor often left unconsidered is the effect of aftershocks. These shocks generally have little effect on undamaged buildings. However, on damaged ones they can have a destructive effect and stop rescue operations. In the assessment of buildings the energy from an aftershock should be considered. Apparently the damage caused by earthquakes is almost entirely associated with manmade structures. Earthquakes only cause death by the damage they induce in structures such as buildings, dams, bridges and other works of man. And this is one of the reasons why earthquake engineering is so important 1.What is the main topic of the passage A.Earthquake engineers with experience and knowledge. B.Buildings to withstand all possible earthquakes. C.Some factors for building design in earthquake engineering. D.Equal considerations in earthquake engineering 正确 答案 八年级地理上册填图题岩土工程勘察试题省略号的作用及举例应急救援安全知识车间5s试题及答案 :C 解析:问题问的是:本文的主题是什么?第一段第二句话提到文章的主题,即 工程 路基工程安全技术交底工程项目施工成本控制工程量增项单年度零星工程技术标正投影法基本原理 设计要把经济.社会.环境和安全因素都考虑在内,这在地震工程中尤其重要 2.The word "demolished" (underlined in Paragraph 2) means A.pulled apart.

English learners used to be (1) (obliged)to spend their time in libraries looking for the books that would help them in their language studies. It was very inconvenient because a lot of materials could only be found in (2) (tedious)and uninteresting textbooks and readers. But today authentic content on a variety of subjects is only a click away. This is especially (3) (beneficial) for those who wants to learn English earnestly. In order to achieve fluency in English, you need to be comfortable using at least 10,000 words. The (4) (abundant) materials on the Internet make it possible for you to choose appropriate content to read and listen to. These materials can be (5) (adjusted) to your level if you input some key words in the search engine. But how can you remember the (6) (bulk) of unfamiliar words? In this case, the Internet (7) (evidently)makes it easier to learn vocabulary. You can use online dictionaries to instantly find out their grammatical (8) (functions) and the specific meaning of these words. The Internet helps you to (9) (efficiently) accumulate vocabulary based on lively and interesting language content, which greatly reduces your (10) (distress) caused by inability to remember the new words. The efficiency of this vocabulary learning is one of the reasons why the Internet has become an ideal place to learn English. Banked Cloze2 It's obvious that women have come a long way as successful professionals. Wom en in the workplace are (1) (flourishing) as an increased number of women have made their presence felt in many industries and professions. The sector of the female workf orce has (2) (expanded) with more and more strength and thus has its (3) (genuine) im portance in the professional world. Whether they like it or not, men have to accept that women are marching up the management ladder confidently and (4) (diplomatically). Women used to be much mo re "quiet and passive" due to the relatively small number of female employees in (5) ( comparison) to males. Women today, on the other hand, have begun seeking their (6) ( administrative) positions by using all their powers of intelligence. Men are hierarchical and (7) (jealous) of the "beauty power" that allows women t o get certain things based on their physical assets. Even though there is a(n) (8) (dispu te) whether many professional females got into positions of power by using their appe arance to their advantage, the (9) (valid) fact is the majority of women have worked h ard to achieve their desired success. Women were considered as (10) (bystanders) in the workplace for many years an d it was believed that the only jobs that they could handle were those of teachers or se cretaries, but today's women can not only hold their own positions in the workplace, b ut they also have the dual task of raising their families. 4.翻译(15分,共一题) eg1: 云南省的丽江古镇是中国著名的旅游目的地之一。那里的生活节奏比大多数中国的城市都要缓慢。丽江到处都是美丽的自然风光,众多的少数民族同胞提供了各式各样,丰富多彩的文化让游客体验。历史上,丽江还以“爱之城”而闻名。当地人中流传着许多关于人生,为爱而死的故事。如今,在中外游客眼中,这个古镇被视为爱情和浪漫的天堂。(paradise) Lijiang, an ancienttown in Yunan province, is one of the famous tourist destinations in China.

You should state the reasons and write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. 2.A campus activities that has benefited you most your ideas about campus activities. the Most Beneficial Activity in My Campus(文都版) It is well known that university is greatly different from high school mainly due to that university will hold a large number of activities, which benefits college students a lot. From my perspective, the most beneficial one is “Long-distance Running for Love”organized by the Students Union when I am a freshman. The money collected by this activity is contributed to Project Hope. it is really my honor to participate the long running, because it benefits me greatly not only in body but also in mind. To begin with, the activity reminds me of the great importance of physical health. Before I go to college, I only focus on academic achievements while the physical health misses my attention. But, the long-running tells me in time that a sound mind lies in a sound body. Additionally, during my participation in this activity, I am informed well that there are still many children in rural areas who have to drop out of school because of impoverished families. Thus, for one thing, I fully realize the great importance of helping them fulfill their dreams. For another thing, I cherish the opportunity to study in university more, for when compared with those children in poverty-stricken areas, we should harbor a grateful heart. By and large, although I have taken part in many campus activities, I deem the long running for love most beneficial to me. And I am looking forward to that more wonderful and meaningful activities will be held in our campus. 范文译文:众所周知,大学与高中截然不同,主要原因是大学里会举办很多校园活动,而这些大学活动使大学生受益匪浅。我认为最有益的校园活动是大一时,由学生会举办的“爱心长跑”。这次长跑筹集的善款用于捐助希望工程。 我很荣幸参加了这次长跑,因为这次活动使我的身心都获得了很大裨益。首先,这次活动提醒我身体健康的重要性。在我上大学前,我只关心自己的学习成绩,而忽视了健康。但是,这次长跑及时提醒我——健康的身体孕育健康的灵魂。此外,通过参加此次长跑,我深刻了解到还有许多偏远山区的小孩因为家庭贫困被迫辍学。因此,一方面我充分意识到帮助这些小孩实现梦想是何其重要;另一方面,我更珍惜自己能上大学的机会。因为,和那些贫困地区的小孩相比,我们应该怀有一颗感恩的心。 总体而言,虽然我参加过许多校园活动,但是我认为这次爱心长跑最为有益。我也期待有更多精彩而有意义的校园活动举行。
