The boy 26his head for a moment. Then 27deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. “I have got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?”
“Sure,” said the farmer.
And with that he let out a 28. “Here, Dolly!” he called.
Out from the doghouse and down the ramp（斜坡） ran Dolly 29by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes 30with delight.
As the dogs 31their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else stirring 32the doghouse. Slowly another little 33appeared; this one noticeably
34. Down the ramp it slid. Then in a somewhat awkward manner the little pup began hobbling toward the others, doing its best to 35 up.
“I want that one,” the little boy said, pointing to the runt（比较矮小的动物）.
The farmer knelt down at the boy’s side and said, “Son, you 36want that puppy. He will never be able to 37and play with you like these other dogs would.”

第二部分：阅读理解 （第一节 20 小题, 第二节 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 50 分）
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳答案。
A
Venus is known as the Earth’s“twin” because the two planets are so like each other in size. The diameter（直径） of Venus is about 7,520 miles（12,100 km）, about 400 miles（644 km） smaller than that of the earth. No other planet comes closer to the earth than Venus. At its nearest approach（接近） it is about 25,000,000 miles （40, 200, 000 km） away.
As seen from the earth, Venus is the first planet or star that can be seen in the western sky in the evening. At other times, it is the last planet or star that can be seen in the eastern sky in the morning. When Venus is near its brightest point, it can be seen in daylight. Early astronomers（天文学家） called the object that appeared in the morning Phosphorus, and the object that appeared in the evening Hesperus. Later, they realized these two objects were the same planet. They named it Venus in honor of the Roman goddess of love and beauty.
41. If you travelled around Venus in a straight way, the longest trip would be ___ miles or so.
A. 24, 896 B. 37, 994 C. 23, 613 D. 25, 000, 000
42. Which of the following is NOT a fact about Venus?
A. It’s usually 25, 000, 000 miles away from the earth.
B. It’s the nearest neighboring planet of the earth.
C. It used to be called Phosphorus and Hesperus.
D. It can sometimes be seen together with the sun in the sky.
43. The text tells us that ___________.
A. Venus is always the first to appear in the sky in the evening
B. Venus is sometimes the last to appear in the sky in the morning
C. Venus is sometimes the last to disappear in the western sky in the morning
D. the diameter of the earth is nearly eight thousand miles
44. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. Venus — the Earth’s “Twin” B. The Size of the Venus
C. Venus and the Earth D. The Nearest Neighbor
B
WASHINGTON: Children traumatized（使……精神创伤） by Hurricane Katrina may face lasting psychological problems that, in later life, could tip some of them into depression（抑郁）, risky behavior, experts say.
Around a million people moved from Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi because of the August 29 storm, and the children among them have become the target of the shock.
Some saw loved-ones drown in the floods of New Orleans and lost their most valuable possessions or pets. Others were separated from their families in the flood.They may have suffered extreme thirst and hunger, seen gunmen and witnessed acts of unspeakable violence in the city. Now thrown in with relatives to shelters in distant states and dependent on handouts（施舍） from strangers, many of these children have been put into a future of uncertainty.
All the points on a child’s emotional compass have disappeared, leaving him to spin around, directionless.
“Children are a particularly high risk group because they don’t have a full understanding about what’s happening,” said Robin Gurwitch, a member of the American Psychological Association（APA） and a specialist in helping child victims of disasters.
Many Katrina kids are likely to suffer anxiety about safety, problems in sleeping, nightmares, she said.
A study of 175 children aged three to five years, from black and black backgrounds, who had survived Hurricane Andrew in southern Florida in 1992 found that many were affected by the experience. A year after the event, 16.5 per cent had the symptoms（症状） ofpsychologicalproblems, and at 18 months, this figure had fallen only slightly, to 11.6 per cent.
Another Hurricane Andrew study — this time among 550 children of school age — found that 30 per cent had moderate to severe levels of psychological problems, a year afterwards.
Those who had been most physically under threat, who had lost their homes or possession and who were forced to move were most at risk.
Experience with previous disasters in the United States, such as the bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building in 1995 and the 9/11 terror attacks has helped US specialists plan a phased （阶段性的） approach for traumatized children.
Early and practical help is vital（不可缺少的）.
This means reuniting children with their families, providing them with a secure if temporary shelter, enabling them to contact their friends and getting them into school, said Courtland Robinson, assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Parents, too, can play a vital role by talking to children about their experiences, preparing them for a new school and restricting access to TV news that play images of the hurricane again and again and thus reinforce a youngster’s fears, said Gurwitch.
The second, later phase is psychological therapy for those who are clearly failing to cope.
John Fairbank, co-director of the National Centre for Child Traumatic Stress, said front-line people such as family doctors, neighborhood police and teachers can be encouraged to help children who are in difficulties and can be referred for such help.
45. What is the meaning of the line “All the points on a child’s emotional compass have disappeared”?
A. The children are lost and cannot find their families.
B. The children lost their compasses in the storm.
C. The children are confused and do not know what to feel.
D. The children’s compasses are broken.
46. Which could be the best title to the article?
A. Hurricane Katrina destroys New Orleans.
B. Children traumatized by hurricane Katrina.
C. Violence in New Orleans.
D. Hurricane Katrina’s long-term psychological impacts.
47. How do psychologists know that the children are likely to be traumatized?
A. They are making an educated guess.
B. Because of experience with previous disasters in the United States, such as the 9/11 terror attacks.
C. Because they have studied them and found that they have the symptoms of psychological problems.
D. Because of studies conducted on child victims of former hurricanes.
48. What is most helpful to these children?
A. Being quickly reunited with their families in a secure shelter.
B. Being provided with therapy.
C. Being showed video footage of the hurricane.
D. Being helped by front-line people such as family doctors, police, and teachers.
C
The use of the wordimitation （模仿） reminds me that we ought to make some more comments on the risk of people imitating what they see on the screen in the way ofcrime （犯罪） or violence. First there was always a risk of children acting out scenes which could be dangerous. For example, I remember a woman who was head of a middle school telling me that she had happened to look out of her window when the children were on the playground and had seen them putting a small boy on a chair with a rope round his neck and the rope over the branch of a tree; fortunately she was in time to get there before the child was hung. I remember a film in particular in which the hero who was imprisoned had escaped by electrocuting（通电触死） his guard, the technique of doing this being shown in detail. This was the kind of scene which we could cut for these reasons.
In films for young people and adults we always tried to keep off the screen any details of criminal techniques, such as how to open a locked door with a piece of hard plastic or how to open a safe; if we were consulted （请教） before production, I used to advise that the details should not be shown. When I gave talks in prisons about film checking I had full support for this, since fathers who were in prison for criminal offences did not want their children to get on crime.
Every time I gave a talk in a prison someone used to mention the French film Rififi made by Jules Dassin in 1954. This remarkable film showed in great detail a robbery of a jeweler’s shop, the robbery lasting about half an hour and being backed only by natural sound — one of the most brilliant film sequences （连续镜头） of all time. I remember our discussions at the time. We thought that the robbery was finished only with the use of advanced and obviously expensive equipment and that only the most experienced and skilled criminals could possibly imitate it; we believed therefore that it was relatively safe. When talking in prisons some years later I learned that there had been several robberies in which the techniques had been copied, so perhaps we were wrong.
49. The writer thinks that________________ .
A. the details of the criminal technique should be kept
B. the details of the crime should not be shown on the screen
C. children should not imitate what they saw on the screen
D. it was dangerous to imitate what they had seen on the screen
50. What was the writer’s attitude towards the film in which the hero had escaped by electrocuting the guard?
A. The writer kept the same opinion.
B. The writer was strongly against it.
C. The writer thought the film had some value.
D. The writer did not show his/her attitude.
51. Parents in prison agreed to film checking because_____________.
A. they did not want their children to follow them
B. the crime on screen could be imitated without difficulty
C. they had given a talk on it
D. they had made mistakes
52. All the following statements about “Rif if i” are true EXCEPT___________.
A. that the robbery shown needs experience and skills
B. that some very good tools were used in the robbery
C. that the film showed the technique in detail
D. that the technique of the robbery was not imitated
53. It can be inferred from the passage that______________.
A. it is hard for the children to tell the differences between real life and the imaginary
B. only the people in prison supported film checking
C. only children imitated what they had seen on the screen
D. the writer used to advise the details of crime should be shown
D
SYDNEY: Mother of two, Jillian Searle, had to choose between her children when she made a life-or-death decision.
Swept up by mountainous tsunami （海啸） waves at a Thai resort （旅游胜地）, she could not hold on to both her young sons and survive. Fighting to stay above the waters, she had to choose which one would have to take his chances in the swirling torrent （漩流）.
“I knew I had to let go of one of them and I just thought I’d better let go of the one that’s the older,” she told Sky News television in a report broadcast on Thursday. She said she was accompanied by the two boys, Lachie, 5, and two-year-old Blake, and their father, Brad, who had watched the drama helplessly from their first-floor hotel room, when the waves struck. “And I was screaming, trying to find him, and we thought he was dead,” she told reporters on arrival back in Australia. Lachie was found alive about 2 hours later clinging to a door and, looked uninjured as his mother spoke to reporters.
British surfer Martin Markwell is also a lucky man. He had always dreamed of catching that perfect wave — but when it finally came along, it was a night-mare. He was on his surfboard when he was swept up by a tsunami wave.
“It was really terrible because I was surfing, I was really surfing on a wave I wasn’t supposed to be on,” he said. “As an experienced surfer, when I saw the wave come I realized something was wrong, but I couldn’t escape because my surfboard was tied to my ankle.”
His wife Vicki and son Jake looked on in horror from a hotel balcony as he crashed towards the shore. Luckily, he stayed on top of his board until he reached the hotel, jumped off and got to safety as the ocean rolled back to feed a much larger tsunami wave on its way. The family regrouped and ran to safety just minutes before a giant tsunami wave 10 metres high.
54. When the waves struck, the father Brad_____________.
A. reported the disaster to Sky News television
B. was watching a drama play on TV in the hotel
C. tried to find his son lost in the waters
D. watched things going on, unable to do anything
55. The underlined word “him” in Paragraph 3 refers to___________.
A. an old man B. Lachie C. Brad D. Blake
56. Which of the following is WRONG?
A. Lachie and Martin were both with their family members when the disaster happened.
B. Lachie and Martin both survived from the high waves when tsunami struck.
C. Lachie and Martin were both travelers from Europe on holiday in Thailand.
D. Lachie and Martin were both alive owing to their good luck.
57. The best title of this news story would be______________.
A. Narrow Escape B. Disaster Caused by Tsunami
C. Exciting Surfing Experience D. Struggle Against Tsunami
E
Considered as a continuous body of fluid, the atmosphere is another kind of ocean. Yet, in view of the total amount of rain and snow on land areas in the course of a year, one of the most amazing water facts is the very small amount of water in the atmosphere at any given time. The volume of the lower seven miles of the atmosphere, where weather events take place, is roughly four times the volume of the world’soceans. But the atmosphere contains very little water. It is chiefly in the form of vapor, some of which is carried over land by air currents. If all vapor suddenly fell from the air onto the earth’ssurface, it would form a layer only about one inch thick. A heavy rainstorm on a given area may use up only a small percentage of the water from the air mass that passes over. How, then, can some land areas receive more than 400 inches of rain per year? How can several inches of rain fall during a single storm in a few minutes or hours? The answer is that rain-producing air masses are always moving, and as the driving air mass moves on, new damp air takes its place.
The basic source of most water vapor is the ocean. Evaporation（蒸发）, vapor transport, and rainfall make up the continuous movement of water from ocean to atmosphere to land and back to the sea. Rivers return water to the sea. In the underground, flowing bodies of water send out some water directly into rivers and some directly to the sea.
58. What might have been discussed in the preceding （前面的） paragraph?
A. The ocean. B. The earth. C. The rainfall. D. The atmosphere.
59. It can be inferred from the passage that ________
A. the atmosphere has a lot of water in it when it goes around
B. the water in the atmosphere is purer than that in the world’s oceans
C. the amount of water in the atmosphere is greater than that in the oceans in the world
D. the small amount of water in the atmosphere plays an important part in the rainfall on the earth
60. Which fact does this passage lead us to believe?
A. The volume of the atmosphere is four times that of the world’soceans.
B. The water in the oceans is the main source of rain and snow on land areas.
C. The atmosphere is mainly made up of the vapor carried over land by air currents.
D. The earth cannot support the water in the atmosphere if it falls down onto the earth suddenly.

23the eyes of a little boy.

The boy 26his head for a moment. Then 27deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. “I have got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?”

34. Down the ramp it slid. Then in a somewhat awkward manner the little pup began hobbling toward the others, doing its best to 35 up.
“I want that one,” the little boy said, pointing to the runt（比较矮小的动物）.
The farmer knelt down at the boy’s side and said, “Son, you 36want that puppy. He will never be able to 37and play with you like these other dogs would.”
With that the little boy stepped back from the 38 , reached down and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he revealed a steel brace running down both sides of his leg 39 itself to a specially made shoe.

第二部分：阅读理解 （第一节 20 小题, 第二节 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 50 分）
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳答案。
A
Venus is known as the Earth’s“twin” because the two planets are so like each other in size. The diameter（直径） of Venus is about 7,520 miles（12,100 km）, about 400 miles（644 km） smaller than that of the earth. No other planet comes closer to the earth than Venus. At its nearest approach（接近） it is about 25,000,000 miles （40, 200, 000 km） away.
As seen from the earth, Venus is the first planet or star that can be seen in the western sky in the evening. At other times, it is the last planet or star that can be seen in the eastern sky in the morning. When Venus is near its brightest point, it can be seen in daylight. Early astronomers（天文学家） called the object that appeared in the morning Phosphorus, and the object that appeared in the evening Hesperus. Later, they realized these two objects were the same planet. They named it Venus in honor of the Roman goddess of love and beauty.
41. If you travelled around Venus in a straight way, the longest trip would be ___ miles or so.
A. 24, 896 B. 37, 994 C. 23, 613 D. 25, 000, 000
42. Which of the following is NOT a fact about Venus?
A. It’s usually 25, 000, 000 miles away from the earth.
B. It’s the nearest neighboring planet of the earth.
C. It used to be called Phosphorus and Hesperus.
D. It can sometimes be seen together with the sun in the sky.
43. The text tells us that ___________.
A. Venus is always the first to appear in the sky in the evening
B. Venus is sometimes the last to appear in the sky in the morning
C. Venus is sometimes the last to disappear in the western sky in the morning
D. the diameter of the earth is nearly eight thousand miles
44. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. Venus — the Earth’s “Twin” B. The Size of the Venus
C. Venus and the Earth D. The Nearest Neighbor
B
WASHINGTON: Children traumatized（使……精神创伤） by Hurricane Katrina may face lasting psychological problems that, in later life, could tip some of them into depression（抑郁）, risky behavior, experts say.
Around a million people moved from Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi because of the August 29 storm, and the children among them have become the target of the shock.
Some saw loved-ones drown in the floods of New Orleans and lost their most valuable possessions or pets. Others were separated from their families in the flood.They may have suffered extreme thirst and hunger, seen gunmen and witnessed acts of unspeakable violence in the city. Now thrown in with relatives to shelters in distant states and dependent on handouts（施舍） from strangers, many of these children have been put into a future of uncertainty.
All the points on a child’s emotional compass have disappeared, leaving him to spin around, directionless.
“Children are a particularly high risk group because they don’t have a full understanding about what’s happening,” said Robin Gurwitch, a member of the American Psychological Association（APA） and a specialist in helping child victims of disasters.
Many Katrina kids are likely to suffer anxiety about safety, problems in sleeping, nightmares, she said.
A study of 175 children aged three to five years, from black and black backgrounds, who had survived Hurricane Andrew in southern Florida in 1992 found that many were affected by the experience. A year after the event, 16.5 per cent had the symptoms（症状） ofpsychologicalproblems, and at 18 months, this figure had fallen only slightly, to 11.6 per cent.
Another Hurricane Andrew study — this time among 550 children of school age — found that 30 per cent had moderate to severe levels of psychological problems, a year afterwards.
Those who had been most physically under threat, who had lost their homes or possession and who were forced to move were most at risk.
Experience with previous disasters in the United States, such as the bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building in 1995 and the 9/11 terror attacks has helped US specialists plan a phased （阶段性的） approach for traumatized children.
Early and practical help is vital（不可缺少的）.
This means reuniting children with their families, providing them with a secure if temporary shelter, enabling them to contact their friends and getting them into school, said Courtland Robinson, assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Parents, too, can play a vital role by talking to children about their experiences, preparing them for a new school and restricting access to TV news that play images of the hurricane again and again and thus reinforce a youngster’s fears, said Gurwitch.
The second, later phase is psychological therapy for those who are clearly failing to cope.
John Fairbank, co-director of the National Centre for Child Traumatic Stress, said front-line people such as family doctors, neighborhood police and teachers can be encouraged to help children who are in difficulties and can be referred for such help.
45. What is the meaning of the line “All the points on a child’s emotional compass have disappeared”?
A. The children are lost and cannot find their families.
B. The children lost their compasses in the storm.
C. The children are confused and do not know what to feel.
D. The children’s compasses are broken.
46. Which could be the best title to the article?
A. Hurricane Katrina destroys New Orleans.
B. Children traumatized by hurricane Katrina.
C. Violence in New Orleans.
D. Hurricane Katrina’s long-term psychological impacts.
47. How do psychologists know that the children are likely to be traumatized?
A. They are making an educated guess.
B. Because of experience with previous disasters in the United States, such as the 9/11 terror attacks.
C. Because they have studied them and found that they have the symptoms of psychological problems.
D. Because of studies conducted on child victims of former hurricanes.
48. What is most helpful to these children?
A. Being quickly reunited with their families in a secure shelter.
B. Being provided with therapy.
C. Being showed video footage of the hurricane.
D. Being helped by front-line people such as family doctors, police, and teachers.
C
The use of the wordimitation （模仿） reminds me that we ought to make some more comments on the risk of people imitating what they see on the screen in the way ofcrime （犯罪） or violence. First there was always a risk of children acting out scenes which could be dangerous. For example, I remember a woman who was head of a middle school telling me that she had happened to look out of her window when the children were on the playground and had seen them putting a small boy on a chair with a rope round his neck and the rope over the branch of a tree; fortunately she was in time to get there before the child was hung. I remember a film in particular in which the hero who was imprisoned had escaped by electrocuting（通电触死） his guard, the technique of doing this being shown in detail. This was the kind of scene which we could cut for these reasons.
In films for young people and adults we always tried to keep off the screen any details of criminal techniques, such as how to open a locked door with a piece of hard plastic or how to open a safe; if we were consulted （请教） before production, I used to advise that the details should not be shown. When I gave talks in prisons about film checking I had full support for this, since fathers who were in prison for criminal offences did not want their children to get on crime.
Every time I gave a talk in a prison someone used to mention the French film Rififi made by Jules Dassin in 1954. This remarkable film showed in great detail a robbery of a jeweler’s shop, the robbery lasting about half an hour and being backed only by natural sound — one of the most brilliant film sequences （连续镜头） of all time. I remember our discussions at the time. We thought that the robbery was finished only with the use of advanced and obviously expensive equipment and that only the most experienced and skilled criminals could possibly imitate it; we believed therefore that it was relatively safe. When talking in prisons some years later I learned that there had been several robberies in which the techniques had been copied, so perhaps we were wrong.
49. The writer thinks that________________ .
A. the details of the criminal technique should be kept
B. the details of the crime should not be shown on the screen
C. children should not imitate what they saw on the screen
D. it was dangerous to imitate what they had seen on the screen
50. What was the writer’s attitude towards the film in which the hero had escaped by electrocuting the guard?
A. The writer kept the same opinion.
B. The writer was strongly against it.
C. The writer thought the film had some value.
D. The writer did not show his/her attitude.
51. Parents in prison agreed to film checking because_____________.
A. they did not want their children to follow them
B. the crime on screen could be imitated without difficulty
C. they had given a talk on it
D. they had made mistakes
52. All the following statements about “Rif if i” are true EXCEPT___________.
A. that the robbery shown needs experience and skills
B. that some very good tools were used in the robbery
C. that the film showed the technique in detail
D. that the technique of the robbery was not imitated
53. It can be inferred from the passage that______________.
A. it is hard for the children to tell the differences between real life and the imaginary
B. only the people in prison supported film checking
C. only children imitated what they had seen on the screen
D. the writer used to advise the details of crime should be shown
D
SYDNEY: Mother of two, Jillian Searle, had to choose between her children when she made a life-or-death decision.
Swept up by mountainous tsunami （海啸） waves at a Thai resort （旅游胜地）, she could not hold on to both her young sons and survive. Fighting to stay above the waters, she had to choose which one would have to take his chances in the swirling torrent （漩流）.
“I knew I had to let go of one of them and I just thought I’d better let go of the one that’s the older,” she told Sky News television in a report broadcast on Thursday. She said she was accompanied by the two boys, Lachie, 5, and two-year-old Blake, and their father, Brad, who had watched the drama helplessly from their first-floor hotel room, when the waves struck. “And I was screaming, trying to find him, and we thought he was dead,” she told reporters on arrival back in Australia. Lachie was found alive about 2 hours later clinging to a door and, looked uninjured as his mother spoke to reporters.
British surfer Martin Markwell is also a lucky man. He had always dreamed of catching that perfect wave — but when it finally came along, it was a night-mare. He was on his surfboard when he was swept up by a tsunami wave.
“It was really terrible because I was surfing, I was really surfing on a wave I wasn’t supposed to be on,” he said. “As an experienced surfer, when I saw the wave come I realized something was wrong, but I couldn’t escape because my surfboard was tied to my ankle.”
His wife Vicki and son Jake looked on in horror from a hotel balcony as he crashed towards the shore. Luckily, he stayed on top of his board until he reached the hotel, jumped off and got to safety as the ocean rolled back to feed a much larger tsunami wave on its way. The family regrouped and ran to safety just minutes before a giant tsunami wave 10 metres high.
54. When the waves struck, the father Brad_____________.
A. reported the disaster to Sky News television
B. was watching a drama play on TV in the hotel
C. tried to find his son lost in the waters
D. watched things going on, unable to do anything
55. The underlined word “him” in Paragraph 3 refers to___________.
A. an old man B. Lachie C. Brad D. Blake
56. Which of the following is WRONG?
A. Lachie and Martin were both with their family members when the disaster happened.
B. Lachie and Martin both survived from the high waves when tsunami struck.
C. Lachie and Martin were both travelers from Europe on holiday in Thailand.
D. Lachie and Martin were both alive owing to their good luck.
57. The best title of this news story would be______________.
A. Narrow Escape B. Disaster Caused by Tsunami
C. Exciting Surfing Experience D. Struggle Against Tsunami
E
Considered as a continuous body of fluid, the atmosphere is another kind of ocean. Yet, in view of the total amount of rain and snow on land areas in the course of a year, one of the most amazing water facts is the very small amount of water in the atmosphere at any given time. The volume of the lower seven miles of the atmosphere, where weather events take place, is roughly four times the volume of the world’soceans. But the atmosphere contains very little water. It is chiefly in the form of vapor, some of which is carried over land by air currents. If all vapor suddenly fell from the air onto the earth’ssurface, it would form a layer only about one inch thick. A heavy rainstorm on a given area may use up only a small percentage of the water from the air mass that passes over. How, then, can some land areas receive more than 400 inches of rain per year? How can several inches of rain fall during a single storm in a few minutes or hours? The answer is that rain-producing air masses are always moving, and as the driving air mass moves on, new damp air takes its place.
The basic source of most water vapor is the ocean. Evaporation（蒸发）, vapor transport, and rainfall make up the continuous movement of water from ocean to atmosphere to land and back to the sea. Rivers return water to the sea. In the underground, flowing bodies of water send out some water directly into rivers and some directly to the sea.
58. What might have been discussed in the preceding （前面的） paragraph?
A. The ocean. B. The earth. C. The rainfall. D. The atmosphere.
59. It can be inferred from the passage that ________
A. the atmosphere has a lot of water in it when it goes around
B. the water in the atmosphere is purer than that in the world’s oceans
C. the amount of water in the atmosphere is greater than that in the oceans in the world
D. the small amount of water in the atmosphere plays an important part in the rainfall on the earth
60. Which fact does this passage lead us to believe?
A. The volume of the atmosphere is four times that of the world’soceans.
B. The water in the oceans is the main source of rain and snow on land areas.
C. The atmosphere is mainly made up of the vapor carried over land by air currents.
D. The earth cannot support the water in the atmosphere if it falls down onto the earth suddenly.
