35、ced.(E) Death usually comes when life is quiet and still.In New England, Canada, and the western part of Europe, the summer of 1816 was extraordinarily cold. A meteorological record for New Haven, kept since 1779, records June 1816 as the coldest June in that city, with a mean temperature that would
36、 ordinarily be expected 200 miles north of the city of Quebec. In New England the loss of the staple crop of corn caused much hardship. The calamity of 1816 is an interesting case history of the far-reaching effects a catastrophe can have on human affairs.The chain of events began in 1815 with an im
37、mense volcanic eruption in the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia), when Mount Tambora threw an immense amount of fine dust into the atmosphere. This eruption, which was considerably larger than the better-known one of krakatoa in 1883, reduced the height of Mount Tambora by 4,200 feet and ejected 25
38、cubic miles of debris. Ships at sea encountered large islands of floating pumice from Mount Tambora as much as four years after the event. The dust circled the earth in the high stratosphere for several years, reflecting sunlight back into spaces. Because the amount of sunlight reaching the ground w
39、as reduced, temperatures on earth were lowered.35. The main purpose of this passage is to(A) report the meteorological record offrigid temperatures in New Haven in June(B) discuss the transformation of much of Mount Tambora into 25 cubic miles of debris(C) point out the delayed effect of a large vol
40、canic eruption on air temperatures in distant places(D) determine the effect of adverse weather conditions on staple crops(E) discuss the pollution of oceans caused by large volcanic eruptions6.

41、sunlight(B) dropping pumice in the water(C) coating the crops with ash(D) covering the land with debris(E) burning the corps for several years7. The author cites temperatures in New Haven in June of 1816 as an illustration of the (A) need to find ways of preventing natural disasters(B) bad effects h
42、uman intervention can have on natural phenomena(C) importance of weather forecasting(D) usefulness of early meteorological records(E) extensive effects of such catastrophes as volcanic eruptions8.The tone of the passage indicates that the author considers the migration of volcanic dust in the strato
43、sphere to be(A) exaggerated(B) necessary(C) disappointing(D) fascination(E) Insignificant9. Which of the following is the author most likely to discuss next?(A) Causes of the eruption of mount Tambora (B) More details from the case history of the calamity of 1816(C) A comparison of Mount Tambora and
44、 Krakatoa(D) New methods of reducing volcanic water pollution(E) The formation of islands out of volcanic pumice10.

45、 Krakatoa(E) New EnglandElectroconvulsive therapy (ECT) dates back to 1938, when two Italian psychiatrists, searching for a treatment for schizo- phrenia, used electricity to cause convulsions in a disturbed patient. The violent shaking seemed to improve his condition. Soon ECT became a common treat
46、ment for severe psychotic illnesses both in Europe and in the United States.With the introduction in the 1950s of strikingly effective antipsychotic drugs such as chlorpromazine, the popularity of shock treatment began to wane. The decline was hastened by growing concern about the safety and effecti
47、veness of ECT and by charges that it was being used too often and too indiscrimi- nately in hospitals and mental institutions that were little more than “shock mills.”311. The passage is mainly about the(A) use of antipsychotic drugs in the United States(B) future of electroconvulsive therapy(C) history of electroconvulsive therapy(D) disadvantages of using antipsychotic drugs(E) comparative uses of electroconvulsive therapy in Europe and in the United States12.
