【正文】 upply the entire country with fresh produce An agricultural crisis that began in Europe did not affect Dutch landreclamation projects. Specialization in dairy farming, industrial crops, and horticulture allowed the Dutch to be more productive than some other regions in Europe. Land reclamation and improvement allowed the Dutch to meet demands for their agricultural products Because the Dutch had specialized their agricultural output they were less susceptible to the crisis that Europe experienced from the beginning of the century 滿分網(wǎng)（ ） Rock Art of the Australian Aborigines(TPO233) Ever since Europeans first explored Australia, people have been trying to understand the ancient rock drawings and carvings created by the Aborigines, the original inhabitants of the continent. Early in the nieenth century, encounters with Aboriginal rock art tended to be infrequent and open to speculative interpretation, but since the late nieenth century, awareness of the extent and variety of Australian rock art has been growing. In the latter decades of the twentieth century there were intensified efforts to understand and record the abundance of Australian rack art. The systematic study of this art is a relatively new discipline in Australia. Over the past four decades new discoveries have steadily added to the body of knowledge. The most significant data have e from a concentration on three major questions. First, what is the age of Australian rock art? Second, what is its stylistic anization and is it possible to discern a sequence or a pattern of development between styles? Third, is it possible to interpret accurately the subject matter of ancient rock art, bringing to bear all available archaeological techniques and the knowledge of presentday Aboriginal information. {27}█ {/27} The age of Australia39。 with little water available for the cooling process of evaporation, relative humidities are usually lower. Wind movements also [11]modified[/11] in cities because buildings increase the friction on air flowing around them. This friction tends to slow the speed of winds, making them far less efficient at dispersing pollutants. On the other hand, air turbulence increases because of the effect of skyscrapers on airflow. Rainfall is also increased in cities. The cause appears to be in part greater turbulence in the urban atmosphere as hot air rises from the builtup surface. Right Answer:3 1. The word “enormous” in the passage is closest in meaning to growing frightening very large strictly controlled Right Answer:2 2. The word “surpass” in the passage is closest in meaning to remain below be higher than add to e close to Right Answer:2 3. According to paragraph 2, how soon heat from a warmed house reaches the outside air greatly affected by how well the house is heated how well the house is insulated how many adults live in the house 滿分網(wǎng)（ ） how much sunshine the house receives Right Answer:3 4. According to paragraph 3, each of the following contributes to making urban areas warmer than the surrounding countryside EXCEPT the fuel burned by motor vehicels the capacity to store heat of the materials used in building a city the easy flow of heat into the ground in city areas covered by vegetation the repeated reflection of solar radiation back and forth among buildings Right Answer:4 5. According to paragraph 3, why do materials in the countryside have a lower heat capacity than materials in cities do? In the countryside in the Sun is the only important source of heat. Construction materials in the city are not as good at keeping buildings warm as they are in the countryside In the countryside the solar heatthat flows into the ground flows out again quickly Countryside vegetation prevents heat from being trapped in the ground Right Answer:1 6. How is paragraph 3 anized? It describes two factors that contribute to the increased heat of cities and then provides two causes for the second factor It describes two causes discovered in an early analysis of the increased heat of cities It describes two factors that contribute to the increased heat of cities and two other factors that work against it It describes two wellestablished causes of the increased heat of cities and other two whose roles are less well understood Right Answer:4 word “configuration” in the passage is closest in meaning to location history temperature shape Right Answer:3 8. According to paragraph 4, what can explain the substantial differences in temperature between one area and other within a welldeveloped heat island? The overall size of the heat island that includes the two reasons The intensify of the heat island that includes the two areas Differences between the two areas in the general level of activity, including traffic Differences between the two areas in the insulation materials used in construction 滿分網(wǎng)（ ） Right Answer:4 9. Paragraph 4 supports the idea that a city’s heatisland intensity would increase if the city went into an economic decline and lost population the city’s economy shifted from heavy industry to health care and education there was an upward trend in the average age of the city’s residents repair work on the streets slowed traffic thoughtout the city Right Answer:4 to paragraph 5, surfaces in the city are generally drier than surfaces in the countryside between periods of rainfall because in the city gentle rain is much more mon than heavy rain high temperatures in the city speed up the process of evaporation in the city there are longer periods of dry weather between episodes of rain rainwater in the city
