2006 学位英语真题

Tracy McGrady is a real-life superstar. He spent the summer traveling in Europe,

working with Adidas on his latest basketball shoe and playing with Team U.S.A. in an

Olympic qualifying game. He also spent countless hours in the gym. "I work on things

every day in the off-season,' says McGrady, 24, an All-Star guard with the National

Basketball Association' s Orlando Magic.

Until McGrady was 17, few outside his tiny hometown knew of his skills. He was

raised mostly by his grandmother in a rough part of town. Sports were his escapes. To

gain more exposure for his basketball skills, McGrady transferred to play his senior

season at Mount Zion Christian Academy in North Carolina. After leading the Mighty

Warriors to a 26-2 record that season, McGrady was named Player of the Year by a

national newspaper.

At 18, McGrady was starring for Toronto by the end of his new players' season. But

he wanted to become one of the NBA's elite ( 精英 ), so he hired a trainer and began

intense workouts. It's not uncommon for McGrady, who signed with Orlando in 2002, to

shoot 200 jumpers after practice, grab a healthy bite to eat and go to work out with the

Los Angeles Lakers' Shaquille O'Neal, who owns a home in Orlando.

"He's stayed at a high level," Orlando coach Doc Rivers says of McGrady. "A lot of

young players can play a good 20 minutes, or have a great month. Tracy does it all

season on both ends." To be that good takes a lot of work. To be better takes even more.

McGrady is ready for the challenge, because he knows what he wants. "I don't want to

be one of those players that's known for being a great player that never won a

championship," McGrady says,“I want a title. ”

lA] Team U.S.A. lB] Los Angeles Lakers.

Last December's earthquakes in the Iranian city of Bam took a huge death toil-

roughly 40,000 people-----largely because of the collapse of thousands of mud-brick

buildings. If a group of researchers in India are successful,.the next earthquake might not

be as destructive. British and Indian engineers are developing earthquake-proof housing

using a cheap, universal material：bamboo.

They designed a model house built around waterproof bamboo-sheet roofing and

bamboo- reinforced concrete walls. To test the structure, the engineers, sponsored by the

U.K. Department of Interenational Development, took it to the Earthquake Engineering

and Vibration Research Centre in Bangalore, which has a state-of-the-art earthquake

simulator (模拟装置). The-researchers shook the house with five successive 30-second

pulses, being equal to 7.8 on the Richter (里氏) scale. The simulation was more than 10

time as violent as the Barn earthquake, yet the house emerged undamaged. "We didn't

even crack the paint," says engineer Paul Follett, of Britain's Timber Research and

Development Association.

By some estimates, more than a billion people already live in bamboo structures.

The innovation lies in developing ways to exploit bamboo's spring. Easily pre-built, fire

resitant, and far lighter than steel, bamboo-based structures could be assembled in three

weeks and last 50 years. At five dollars a square foot, they would 'last roughly half as

much as brick-and-block constructions. Follett says the project will follow an "open

source" model: "Whatever is developed is freely available for the common good."

21. Thousands of people died in the Barn earthquake mainly because

IA] the earthquake occurred in the cold December

[BI many mud-brick houses collapsed

IC] the earthquake teached 7.8 on the Richter scale

[D bamboo houses hadn't been built yet

22. The phrase "a universal material'(Line 5, Paragraph1) refers to a material that can be

found

IAI everywhere in India [BI in the universe

ICI in a university ID] in a unique place

23. What was the result of the test?

IA The shake lasted 150 seconds.

[B The simulation was over 10 times as violent.

IC The paint was cracked.
