1 Stanford University,famous as one of northern California's several institutions of higher
learning,is sometimes called"the Harvard of the West."The closeness of Stanford to San
Francisco,a city thirty-two miles to the north,gives the university a decidedly cosmopolitan
（世界性的）flavor.
2 The students are enrolled mainly from the western United States.But most of the fifty
states send students to Stanford,and many foreign students study here,as well.And
standards for admission remain high.Young men and women are selected to enter the
university from the upper fifteen per cent of their high school classes.
3 Not only because of the high caliber（素质）of its students but also because of the
desirable location and climate,Stanford has attracted to its faculty some of the world's most
respected scholars.The university staff has included many Nobel prize winners such as
Dr.Felix Bloch,Dr.Robert Hofstadter,and Dr.William Shockley in physics,Dr.Author
Kornberg and Dr.Joshua Lederberg in medicine,and Dr.Paul J.Flory and Dr.Linus Pauling
in chemistry.The Russian novelist Aleksandr Solzhenistsyn has been in residence.
Stanford's undergraduate school of engineering and its graduate schools of business,law,
and medicine are especially well-regarded.
4 What is student life like on"The Farm"?Culturally,the campus is a magnet for both
students and citizens of nearby communities.Plays,concerts,and operas are performed
in the university's several auditoriums and in its outdoor theater,where graduations are also
held.Several film series are presented during the school year.Guest lecturers from public
and academic life frequently appear on campus.In the evenings,many students gather to
socialize in the Student Union's coffee house ; here the beverages（饮料）and the
atmosphere both have a decidedly European flavor.For the sports-minded,the Stanford
campus offers highly developed athletic facilities.Team sports,swimming,and track and
field activity are all very much part of the Stanford picture.So are bicycling and jogging.
5 In addition to financial support from alumni（校友）,Stanford receives grants from the
government and from private philanthropic（慈善的）foundations.In recent years,
government grants have made possible advanced studies in the fields of history,
psychology,education,and atomic energy.At present Stanford is carrying out an
ambitious building program,financed in part by the Ford Foundation's 25 million grant.
Recently added to the campus are a new physics building,new school of business,new
graduate school of law,new student union,and undergraduate library.

第5题：
资料：Asked to name their favorite city, many Americans would select San Francisco which began as a small Spanish outpost located on a magnificent bay. The town was little more than a village serving ranchers when the United States took possession of it in 1846 during the war with Mexico.
San Francisco sprang into a city overnight because of the nearby discovery of gold in 1848.A great rush to California took place. Wagon trains plodded their dangerous way across 2000 miles of prairie and mountains, while hundreds of sailing vessels made the equally hazardous trip around the Horn. The vessels disgorged thousands of passengers -- then the crews deserted their ship and hundreds of vessels were left to rot in the bay. Within two years, California had enough population to become a state and San Francisco was for many years the hub of that newly-arrived population.
The city's present popularity is due to an excellent climate, an easy style of living ,good food, and numerous tourist attractions. The city is famous for its cable cars which "clang and bang" up the steep hills, and for its excellent seafood stalls along the wharf. Most visitors arriving from nations in the Pacific Basin spend several days getting to know the town.
San Francisco today is a thriving city because of ___.A.heavy industry
B.governmental headquarters
C.gold mining
D.trade and tourism答案：D解析：本题考查的是细节理解。

A Great Quake Coming?
Everyone who lives in San Francisco knows that earthquakes are common in the Bay Area一and they
can be devastating. In 1906,for example,a major quake destroyed about 28,000 buildings and killed
hundreds,perhaps thousands of people.Residents now wonder when the next"Big One"will strike.It's
bound to happen someday. At least seven active fault（断层）lines run through the San Francisco area. Faults
are places where pieces of Earth'S crust（地壳）slide past each other.When these pieces slip,the ground
shakes.
To prepare for that day,scientists are using new techniques to reanalyze the 1906 earthquake and pre-
diet how bad the damage might be when the next one happens.
One new finding about the 1906 earthquake is that the San Andreas fault split apart faster than scientists
had assumed at the time. During small earthquakes,faults rupture（断裂）at about 2.7 kilometers per second.
During bigger quakes,however.ruptures can happen at rates faster than 3.5 kilometers per second.
At such high speeds,massive amounts of pressure build up,generating underground waves that can
cause more damage than the quake itself. Lucky for San Francisco , these pressure pulses（脉冲）traveled
away from the city during the 1906 event.As bad as the damage was,it could have been far worse.
Looking ahead,scientists are trying to predict when the next major quake will occur. Records show that
earthquakes were common before 1906.Since then,the area has been relatively quiet.Patterns in the data,
however,suggest that the probability of a major earthquake striking the Bay Area before 2032 is at least 62
percent.
New buildings in San Francisco are quite safe in case of future quakes.Still,more than S4 percent of the
city’s buildings are old and weak.Analyses suggest that another massive earthquake would cause extensive
damage.
People who live there today tend to feel safe because San Francisco has remained pretty quiet for a
while.According to the new research,however,it's not a matter of"if" the Rig One will hit.It',just a mat-
ter of when.The 1906 earthquake in San Francisco is the most severe one in American history.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：C解析：短文第一段的倒数第兰句提到至少有7条地质断层线穿越旧金山。
短文虽然说旧金山大地震的破坏力非常大，但没有明确指出其程度是美国历史之最。
从第兰段最后一句话可知答案。

The vessels disgorged thousands of passengers -- then the crews deserted their ship and hundreds of vessels were left to rot in the bay. Within two years, California had enough population to become a state and San Francisco was for many years the hub of that newly-arrived population.
The city's present popularity is due to an excellent climate, an easy style of living ,good food, and numerous tourist attractions. The city is famous for its cable cars which "clang and bang" up the steep hills, and for its excellent seafood stalls along the wharf. Most visitors arriving from nations in the Pacific Basin spend several days getting to know the town.
San Francisco's appeal includes all of the following factors ___.A.attractive lifestyle, good seafood, desirable weather
B.tourist attraction extreme seasons, cable cars
C.wagon trains, gold mining, good climate
D.cable cars, pleasant climate, flat terrain答案：A解析：本题考查的是细节理解。

A Great Quake Coming?
Everyone who lives in San Francisco knows that earthquakes are common in the Bay Area一and they
can be devastating. In 1906,for example,a major quake destroyed about 28,000 buildings and killed
hundreds,perhaps thousands of people.Residents now wonder when the next"Big One"will strike.It's
bound to happen someday. At least seven active fault（断层）lines run through the San Francisco area. Faults
are places where pieces of Earth'S crust（地壳）slide past each other.When these pieces slip,the ground
shakes.
To prepare for that day,scientists are using new techniques to reanalyze the 1906 earthquake and pre-
diet how bad the damage might be when the next one happens.
One new finding about the 1906 earthquake is that the San Andreas fault split apart faster than scientists
had assumed at the time. During small earthquakes,faults rupture（断裂）at about 2.7 kilometers per second.
During bigger quakes,however.ruptures can happen at rates faster than 3.5 kilometers per second.
At such high speeds,massive amounts of pressure build up,generating underground waves that can
cause more damage than the quake itself. Lucky for San Francisco , these pressure pulses（脉冲）traveled
away from the city during the 1906 event.As bad as the damage was,it could have been far worse.
Looking ahead,scientists are trying to predict when the next major quake will occur. Records show that
earthquakes were common before 1906.Since then,the area has been relatively quiet.Patterns in the data,
however,suggest that the probability of a major earthquake striking the Bay Area before 2032 is at least 62
percent.
New buildings in San Francisco are quite safe in case of future quakes.Still,more than S4 percent of the
city’s buildings are old and weak.Analyses suggest that another massive earthquake would cause extensive
damage.
People who live there today tend to feel safe because San Francisco has remained pretty quiet for a
while.According to the new research,however,it's not a matter of"if" the Rig One will hit.It',just a mat-
ter of when.The San Francisco area is located above several active fault lines.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：A解析：短文第一段的倒数第兰句提到至少有7条地质断层线穿越旧金山。
短文虽然说旧金山大地震的破坏力非常大，但没有明确指出其程度是美国历史之最。
从第兰段最后一句话可知答案。
第五段的第二句话提到1906年前地震频繁。
倒数第二段提到：城里超过84％的建筑是旧的、不坚固的。所以旧金山并没有为地震做好准备。
第五段的最后一句话说科学家们顶测地震发生的概率荃少为62%，但是这并不意味着 科学家们就能预测出准确的时间，最后一段也只说明这是个时间问题，而没有说出具体时间。
短文末尾提到：问题已不再是“是否”将会发生大地震，而是“什么时候”会发生。第3部分：概括大意与完成句子 -
