Reading passage 1（阅读顺序从上到下）

You should spend about 20 minutes on questions 1-13, which are based on reading passage 1 below.

Caves

I caves are natural underground spaces, Commonly those into which man can enter, There are three major types: the most

widespread and extensive are those developed in soluble rocks, usually limestone or marble, by underground movement of water ,on the coast are those formed in cliffs generally by the

concentrated pounding of waves along joints and zones

of crushed rock; and a few caves are formed in the lava flows, where the solidified outer crust is left after the molten core has drained away to form rough tunnels, like those on the small basalt volcanoes of Auckland.

2 limestone of all ages, kuiti Group(Oligocene) Ranging from geologically rocks from port Waikato recent times to more than south to mokau and from 450 million years ago, is the coast inland to the found in many parts of New Waipa valley –especially Zealand, although it is not in the Wautoma district. all cavernous. Many caves and the Mount Arthur have been discovered, but marble (upper Ordovician) hundreds still remain to be of the mountains of north- explored. The most notable west Nelson (fringed by limestone areas for caves thin bands of Oligocene are the many hundreds of limestone in the valleys and square kilometers of Te near the coast.

3 Sedimentary rocks (including limestone) are usually laid down in almost horizontal layers or beds which may be of Any thickness, but most commonly of 5-7.5cm.

These beds may accumulate to a total thickness of about a hundred meters. pure limestone is brittle, and folding due to earth Movements causes cracks

along the parting, and Waitomo,or a number of percolating around water. Joints at angles to them. Parallel straights oriented they are usually white Rain water percolates down in one or more directions to yellow in colour,but through the soil and the like Te Anaroa,Rockville. occasionally are brown fractures in the underlying Vertical cross sections of or red. Where water rocks to the water table, cave passages may be tall evaporates faster than it below which all cavities and narrow following drips, long thin straws are and pores are filled with jonts,as in burr cave, formed which may reach water. This water, which is usually acidic, dissolves the limestone along the Joints and, once a passage is opened, it is enlarged by the abrasive action of streams. Extensive solution takes place between the seasonal limits of the water table. Erosion may continue to cut down into the floor. or silt and pebbles may build up floors and divert stream course. Most caves still carry the stream that formed them. 4 Caves in the softer, well-bedded Oligocene Limestone are typically horizontal in development, often with passages on several levels, and frequently of considerable length. Gardner”gut, Waitomo,has two main Levels and more than seven Kilometers of passages. Plans of caves show prominent features, such as long,narrow,straight passages following joint patterns as in Ruakuri,

Waitomo,large and ragged in collapse chambers, like Hollow Hill, Waitomo (233m long ,59 4m wide. and 30.48m high),low and wide along bedding planes, as in luckie strike, Waitomo,or high vertical water-worm Shafts, like Rangitaawa Shaft (91m).Wautoma Caves in the harder, massive mount Arthur marble (a metamorphosed limestone) are mainly vertical in development, many reaching several hundred metres, the deepest known being Harwood hole, Takaka(370m) 5 The unique beauty of caves lies in the variety of mineral encrustations which are found sometimes completely covering walls,ceiling,and floor. Stalactites(GK.stalaktos, Dripping)are pendent growths of crystalline calcium carbonate(calcite) formed from solution by the deposition of minute quantities of calcite from the floor or thicken into columns. If the source of water moves across the ceiling, a thin drape, very like a stage curtain, is formed.Helictites are stalagctites,that branch or curl.stlagmites(gk. stalagmos,that which dripped)are conical or gnarled floor growths formed by splashing, if the water drips faster than it evaporates. These may grow toward the ceiling to form columns of massive proportions. Where calcite is deposited by water spreading thinly over the walls or floor, flowstone is formed and pools of water may build up their edges to form narrow walls of rimstone.gypsum(calcium sulphate)is a white cave deposit of many crystal Habits which are probably dependent on humidity the most beautiful form is the gypsum flower which extrudes from a point on the cave wall in curling ‘n diverging bundles of fibres like a lily or orchid.

A The software tools of research are typical more abundant than hardware tools in the social sciences. software is usually thought of as

meaning computer programs that tell the hardware what to do, but any tool not related to a physical device can be considered software. Include in such as studying up on math formulas or sentence structure, can be helpful.

A well-known example of this type is the Scholastic Achievement Test (SAT), designed to predict future college performance.

this category are published tests and E Interest inventories also require only questionnaires. general knowledge but no preparation is needed. These tests look at an

B Often researchers want to gather individual’s subjective interests in order Information related to a general area such as personality or intelligence. For these instances, the use of a standardized test may be the best choice. With already published tests you can be sure of both validity and reliability and can save a lot of time that might otherwise be spent on test construction. Standardized tests can be classified into five main categories: achievement,aptitude,interest, personality, and intelligence.

C Achievement tests are designed

specifically to measure an individual’s previously learned knowledge or ability. They are available for many topic areas related to psychology, education, business, and other fields. Achievement tests require that prior learning take place and that this learning be demonstrated in order to Pass. D Aptitude tests attempt to predict an individual’s performance in some activity at some point in the future. They do not require any specific prior learning although basic knowledge related to reading and writing is usually required and some preparation, C Intelligence tests could be classified as aptitude tests since they are sometimes used to predict future

to make predictions about some future behavior or activity. Perhaps the most used interest inventory is the Strong Interest Inventory, which compares interests related to specific careers in order to help guide an individual’s career path. Endorsed interests are compared with the interests of successful individuals in various fields and predictions are made regarding The test-taker’s fit with the various career fields. F Typically designed to assess and diagnose personality and mental health related disorders, personality tests are used extensively by psychologists In clinical, educational, and business related settings. By far the most widely used test of this type is the Minnesota Multiphase Personality inventory, Second edition(MMP1-2)，which compares an individual’s responses on a series of true-false items to those suffering from various mental disorders such as depression, schizophrenia, and anxiety. The theory behind the

test argues that if you endorse items similar to the items endorsed by those with depression, for example, then the chances that you are also depressed increases performance. They could also be

classified as personality tests since they can be used to diagnose disorders

such as learning disabilities and mental retardation. However, because of their limited scope, we will place them in their own category. The purpose of an intelligence test is to attain a summary score or intelligence quotient (IQ)of an individual’s intellectual ability. Scores are compared to each other and can be broken down into different subcategories depending on the intelligence test used. The most commonly used tests of this type are the Wechsler Scales, including The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for children (WISC), and the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale Of Intelligence(WPPSI)

respond to questions, rate responses, or offer opinions, their responses can then be used to place them in specific categories or groups or can be compared to other subjects for data analysis. A concern with self- report, however, is the accuracy of the response. Unlike direct observation, there is no way of knowing if the subject has told the truth or whether or not the question was understood as intended. There are several different methods for gathering information on a questionnaire or survey, including a Likert scale , the Turnstone technique, and the semantic differential. The Likert scale is a popular method, used in surveys because it allows the researcher to quantify opinion based items. Questions are typically grouped together and rated or responded to

based on a five-point scale. This scale typically ranges in order from one extreme to the other, such as(1)very Interested,(2)somewhat interested (3)unsure,(4)not very interested, and(5)not interested at all. Items That might be rated with this scale representing the subject’s level of

Interest could include a list of careers or academic majors, for example. H Self-response questionnaires are a great way to gather large amounts of information in a relatively short amount of time, A questionnaire similar to a survey you might see on a web page, allows subjects to

Choose the correct letter A,B,C,or D.

Write your answers in boxes 20-23 on your answer sheet.

20 Tests that are already on the market A need some form of reconstruction B fail to ensure validity and reliability C guarantee validity and reliability D waste large amounts of time

21 Some knowledge of reading and writing A is commonly not necessary in aptitude tests B is normally a requirement in aptitude tests

C is less important in aptitude tests than other tests D is as important as prior learning in aptitude tests

22With interest inventories, subjective interest are examined to A test people’s general knowledge B help people change their career C Compare individual’s background D forecast future behavior or activity

23 Intelligence tests could come under aptitude tests

A because they can be used to forecast future performance B since they are not used very widely

C as they can be broken down into different sub-groups

D because they are sometimes used to diagnose learning disabilities

Questions 28-31

people at the conference in Boston mentioned the need to address public fears over nanotechnology “aggressively” 8 One of these was Clayton Teague, the director of America’s National Nanotechnology co- ordination office. He says the American government is as sensitive to any indication of true health risk as any member of the public. Several large and well-funded studies on the environmental and health risks of nanotechnology are now under way. 9 Dr Teague adds that any decisions about nanotechnology will be made carefully and based on solid scientific data. But

even if science gives the go-ahead, another one of Dr Mathura’s lessons is that the same technology is no big deal. It strikes a false note to say that something can be both revolutionary and nothing to worry about ,he says, such

inconsistencies will breed public mistrust and fear.
