托福阅读全真试题 1
if the salinity of ocean waters is analyzed, it is found to vary only slightly from place to place. nevertheless, some of these small changes are important. there are three basic processes that cause a change in oceanic salinity. one of these is the subtraction of water from the ocean by means of evaporation conversion of liquid water to water vapor. in this manner, the salinity is increased, since the salts stay behind. if this is carried to the extreme, of course, white crystals of salt would be left behind.
the opposite of evaporation is precipitation, such as rain, by which water is added to the ocean. here the ocean is being diluted so that the salinity is decreased. this may occur in areas of high rainfall or in coastal regions where rivers flow into the ocean. thus salinity may be increased by the subtraction of water by evaporation, or decreased by the addition of fresh water by precipitation or runoff.
normally, in tropical regions where the sun is very strong, the ocean salinity is somewhat higher than it is in other parts of the world where there is not as much evaporation. similarly, in coastal regions where rivers dilute the sea, salinity is somewhat lower than in other oceanic areas.
a third process by which salinity may be altered is associated with the formation and melting of sea ice. when seawater is frozen, the dissolved materials are left behind. in this manner, seawater directly beneath freshly formed sea ice has a higher salinity than it did before the ice appeared. of course, when this ice melts, it will tend to decrease the salinity of the surrounding water.
in the weddell sea, off antarctica, the densest water in the oceans is formed as a result of this freezing process, which increases the salinity of cold water. this heavy water sinks and is found in the deeper portions of the oceans of the world.

D.crystals
3. According to the passage, the ocean generally has more salt in
A.coastal areas
B.tropical areas
C.rainy areas
D.turbulent areas
4. All of the following are processes that decrease salinity except
A.evaporation
B.precipitation
C.runoff
D.melting
5. Which of the following statements about the salinity of a body water can best be
inferred from the passage?
A.the temperature of the water is the most important factor.
B.the speed with which water moves is directly related to the amount of salt.
C.ocean salinity has little effect on sea life.
D.various factors combine to cause variations in the salt content of water.
6. The word altered in line 16 is closest in meaning to
A.determined
B.changed
C.accumulated
D.needed
7. The world it in line 18 refers to
A.sea ice
B.salinity
C.seawater
D.manner
8. Why does the author mention the weddell sea?
A.to show that this body of water has salinity variations
B.to compare antarctic waters with arctic waters
C.to give an example of increased salinity due to freezing
D.to point out the location of deep waters
9. Which of the following is not a result of the formation of ocean ice?
A.the salt remains in the water.
B.the surrounding water sinks.
C.water salinity decreases.
D.the water becomes denser.

考句:In southern Europe there was more continuity from earlier settlement patterns. Growth came less from the creation of new towns than from the flow of immigrants to old settlements.
It can be inferred from paragraph 4 that urban growth in southern Europe was marked by
A. more people in a greater number of towns
B. more people in the same number of towns
C. development of new settlement patterns
D. movement of people into newly created towns
解析:
第一句话“In southern Europe there was more continuity from earlier settlement patterns.”属于抽象语言,对抽象语言的理解,一靠大量阅读的积淀,二靠向下文寻找具体对应。此句中的抽象概念“more continuity from earlier settlement patterns”,具体对应到下句的.“the flow of immigrants to old settlements”。因为“less A than B”中,A是否定内容,B才是作者重点叙述的肯定内容。
所以综合两句信息来看,南欧地区城镇的增长是来自于移民涌入原有的老的定居点,而不是去建造新的定居点/新城镇。所以正确答案选B。
