In ancient Greece people knew about the curing powers of the sun, but this knowledge was lost. At the end of the nineteenth century a Danish doctor, Niels Finsen, began to study the effect of sunlight on certain diseases, especially diseases of the skin.He was interested not only in natural sunlight but also in man-produced rays. Sunlight began to play a more important part in caring sick people.

 A Swiss doctor, Auguste Rollier, made full use of the sun in his hospital at Leysin, which is a small village high up in the Alps.He found that sunlight, fresh air and good food cure a great many disease. He was particularly successful in curing certain forms of tuberculosis with his "suncure".

There were a large number of children in Dr. Rol]ier's hospital. He decided to start school where sick children could be cured and at the same time continue to learn. It was not long before his school was full. In winter, wearing only shorts, socks and boots, the children put on their skis after breakfast and left the hospital They carried small desks and chairs as well as their school- books. Their teacher led them over the snow until they reached a slope which faced the sun and was free from cold winds. There they set out their desks and chairs, and school began. 

Although they wore hardly any clothes, Rollier's pupils were very seldom cold. That was because their bodies were full of energy, which they got from the sun. But the doctor knew that sunshine can also be dangerous. If, for example, tuberculosis is attacking the lungs, unwise sun- bathing may do great harm. Today there is not just one school in the sun. There are several in Switzerland, and since Switzerland is not the only country which has the right conditions, there are similar schools in other places.

45. Two doctors were mentioned in the passage because __________.

A. they both made use of sunlight to treat illness

  B. they were the first to use sunlight for treatment

A. most children could stay in his hospital               

B. children could study while being treated

C. the school was expected to be full of pupils        

D. the school was high up in the mountains

47. Which of the following can best describe Dr. Rollier's school according to the fourth paragraph?

A. It is in the open and full of sunshine.                     

B. It lies on a slope facing cold winds.

C. It is open only in winters.                              

  D. The pupils have classes in shorts.

48. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. "Sun-cure" schools are becoming popular everywhere.

B. Switzerland is the only country where "sun-cure" schools are popular.

C. Proper conditions are necessary for the running of a "sun-cure" school.

D. "Sun-cure" schools are found in countries where there is a lot of sunshine.

　　The third theme of geography is movement. As people travel around the world, exchanging goods, ideas and interests, the global community is transformed. Take surfing, for example, the sport originated in Hawaii centuries ago. Today, the cry “surf up!” can be heard along coastlines everywhere.

　　Europeans were the first Westerners to observe the sport. In 1779, Captain Cook, a British explorer, and his crew sailed around the Sandwich Islands ( Now Hawaii ). Near the rocky coast of the Big Island, they witnessed a man riding a wave while standing on a board.

　　Cook was stricken by what he saw. Hawaiians would pray for good waves and hold ceremonies when building surfboards. Their boards were built according to rank: Chiefs used long boards (16 to 18 feet long ), while commoners used shorter ones (6 to 8 feet long ).

　　After the arrival of Europeans, Hawaiian surf culture declined. Many Hawaiians died of European-borne diseases. Also, Christian missionaries (传教士) spread the belief that surfing was “ignorant (愚昧的)fun”.

These conditions changed after Hawaii became a United States territory in 1900( It became a state in 1959.) Travelers to the islands brought back stories of wave riding. Tales of the thrilling sport spread across the U.S., then to the rest of the world.

　　Today, surfing is the king of board sports. According to wannasurf.com, the world has nearly 8,000 “surf spots” in 136 countries on 6 continents. The Association of Surfing professionals (ASP) holds an annual world tour in which top riders compete for millions of fans on the waves.

The Kingdome in Seattle was destroyed on March 26, 2000. It was taken down to make room for a new stadium. The blast(爆破) from the falling building caused the earth to shake as if an earthquake had happened.

Scientists placed more than 200 earthquake recorders in the earth to measure the movement. They found which parts of the city shook the most. This information helped them know which parts of the city would be damaged in a real earthquake at an early time.

A real earthquake happened on February 28, 2001 in Seattle. The Nisqually earthquake was 6.8 on the Richter scale(里氏6.8级). It damaged the same parts of Seattle that scientists had predicted(预测) from the pulling down of the Kingdome. It was a plate quake. It started deep in the earth, 37 miles below the surface on the Juan de Fuca Plate. Sometimes, huge plates under the earth cause earthquakes when the plates move against each other suddenly.

Scientists have learned that deep earthquakes have very few aftershocks(余震). The Nisqually earthquake had only 4 ones. Another earthquake in California that was close to the surface had over 120 aftershocks. Scientists do not know why the deep earthquakes have fewer aftershocks.

Scientists plan to blast in the ground near Seattle with the purpose of testing the plate. The shockwaves from the blast will jump off the plate and give them an idea of where the plate is and how it is moving. This will give them more information in case another real earthquake hits the area.

72． According to the passage, ______ have the most aftershocks.

     A．shockwave earthquakes       B．shallow earthquakes

    C．deep earthquakes            D．earthquakes more than 6.8 Richter scale

73．What do scientists hope to learn from the blast above the Juan de Fuca Plate? 

    A．They hope to learn where the plate is and how it is moving.

    B．They want to destroy the Kingdome.

    C．They want to know which places are likely to have the most damage.

    D．They hope to find out how many plates there are in the ground there.

74．Why were the scientists interested in the pulling down of the Seattle Kingdome? 

    A．They wanted to see which areas near the Kingdome would shake the hardest.

    B．They wanted to predict what might happen in a real earthquake.

    C．They wanted to measure the movement of the Earth with earthquake recorders.

    D．All of the above.

75．What will happen after a deep earthquake according to the scientists? 

    A．There will be many aftershocks.

    B．There will be very few aftershocks.

    C．The Richter scale of the quakes will be a 6.8 or more.

D．There will be little damage.
