New Product Will Save Lives
Drinking water that looks clean may still contain bugs(蟲子) ,which can cause illness. A small company called Genera Technologies has produced a testing method in three stages, which shows whether water is safe. The new test shows if water needs chemicals added to it, to destroy anything harmful. It was invented by scientist Dr. Adrian Parton, who started Genera five years ago. He and his employees have developed the test together with a British water company.
Andy Headland, Genera's marketing director, recently presented the test at a conference in the USA and forecast good American sales for it. Genera has already sold 11 of its tests at $ 42,500 a time in the UK and has a further four on order. It expects to sell another 25 tests before the end of March. The company says it is the only test in the UK to be approved by the government. Genera was formed five years ago and until October last year had only five employees;it now employs 14.

Life in the twentieth century demands preparation. Today， all individuals in a country must have adequate schooling to prepare them for
their work as well as for their responsibilities as citizens. With this in mind， national leaders everywhere are placing more emphasis on the education of the young. In the United States， government officials， parents， and teachers are working hard to give their children - tomorrow s decision makers - the best preparation available.

Public schools in all states are supported by taxes paid by the citizens of the individual state. In most states the children are required to attend school until they reach the age of sixteen
When they become six years old， children begin elementary school. After six years in elementary school， they go into junior high school and remain there for three years. The last three years of their public school education are spent in senior high school， from which they graduate at the age of eighteen.
A great number of high school graduates continue their education in one of the many colleges or universities in the country. After four years， they receive a bachelor s degree. Some continue studying for a master s degree and perhaps a doctor s degree.

Sauna
Ceremonial bathing has existed for thousands of years and has many forms, one of which is the sauna. The Finns have perfected the steam bath, or sauna, which may be taken, usually in an enclosed room, by pouring water over hot rocks or as dry heat bath. The Japanese, Greeks, Turks and Russians as well as Native Americans have forms of the sweat bath in their bathing rituals. Dry heat and steam baths had advocates in ancient Rome and pre-Columbian Americans used sweat lodges.
The earliest saunas were probably underground caves heated by a fire that naturally filled with smoke as chimney making was unknown at that time. a fire kept in a fire-pit would heat the rock walls of the cave. After reaching full heat, the smoke was let out of the cave and the stones would retain heat for several hours. A few people today say that the smoke sauna, “svusauna”, is the only true sauna experience and that all saunas should have at least a back-ground odor or smoke. Today most saunas use electric stoves, although gas and wood-burning stoves are available.
Saunas are relaxing and stress relieving. Those with muscle aches or arthritis may find that the heat relaxes muscles and relieves pain and inflammation. Asthma patients find that the heat enlarges air passageways of the lung and facilitates breathing. Saunas do not cure the common cold but they may help to alleviate congestion and speed recovery time. The body's core temperature usually rises a 1-2 degrees while in the sauna, thus imitating a slight fever. The regular use of a sauna may decrease the likelihood of getting a cold in the first place.
Sauna is goof for your skin as the blood flow to the skin increases and sweating occurs. Adults sweat about 2 lbs of water per hour on average in a sauna. A good sweat removes dirt and grime from pores and gives the skin a healthy glow. The loss in water weight is temporary as the body's physiological mechanisms will quickly restore proper volumes. The cardiovascular system gets work out as the heart must pump harder and faster to move blood to the surface for heat exchange. Heart rate may increase from 72 beats per minute on average to 100-150 beats per minute.
A normal heart can handle these stresses but those with heart trouble wishing to begin to use a sauna should seek a doctor's advice. The elderly and those with diabetes should check with their doctor prior to beginning to take saunas. Pregnant women should not take saunas, particularly in the first three months. Indeed, everyone just starting out should take short sessions at first to become accustomed to this type of bath.
31 Ceremonial bathing _________.
A is called the sauna by Finns
B is equivalent to the steam bath
C has various forms
D is held in an enclosed room
32 What is understood by some people to be the true sauna experience? _________
A Saunas in underground caves.
B Saunas with smoke.
C Saunas using wood burning stoves.
D Saunas using electric stoves.
33 According to the third paragraph, saunas can do all of the following EXCEPT_________.
A reducing the chance of getting cold
B speeding recovery
C relieving stress
D curing asthma
34 According to the fourth paragraph, sauna gives the skin a healthy glow because_________.
A pores are cleaned by sweat
B water is lost by sweating
C blood moves to the surface for heat exchange
D the heart pumps harder and faster
35 Who are advised not to take a sauna? _________
A Elderly people.
B Pregnant women.
C People with heart trouble.
D All of the above.
答案：31 C第一段的第一句告訴我們，ceremonial bathing有多種形式，其中一種是sauna。所以只有C是正確的選項。
32 B根據文章第二段的第四個句子，smoke sauna被有些人認為是真正的sauna。句中a background odor也是指煙熏的氣味。
33 D該段最后一句說The regular use of a sauna may decrease the likelihood of getting a cold;第四句說they may help t0…speed recovery time;第一句說Saunas are…stress relieving。所以，A,B、C都是桑拿可以做的。第三句說Asthma patients find that the heat en—larges air passageways of the lung and facilitates breathing，這不足以說明桑拿有治愈哮喘的作用。因此，應選擇D。
34 A該段第三句提供了答案。
35 D文章最后一段告誡幾種人不能洗桑拿，包括心臟病患者、老人、糖尿病患者、孕婦等。所以D是正確的選項。 第五部分：補全短文(第46～50題，每題2分，共10分)

Conservation or Wasted Effort?
The black robin (旅鶇) is one of the world's rarest birds. It is a small, wild bird, and it lives only on the island of Little Mangere, off the coast of New Zealand. In 1967 there were about fifty black robins there; in 1977 there were fewer than ten.46
Energetic steps are being taken to preserve the black robin. 47 The idea is to buy an-other island nearby as a special home, a “reserve”, for threatened wild life, including black robins. The organizers say that Little Mangere should then be restocked (重新準備) with the robin's food. Thousands of the required plants are at present being cultivated in New Zealand.
Is all this concern a waste of human effort? 48 Are we losing our sense of what is reasonable and what is unreasonable?
In the earth's long, long past hundreds of kinds of creatures have evolved, risen to a degree of success and died out. In the long, long future there will be many new and different forms of life. Those creatures that adapt themselves successfully to what the earth offers will survive for a long time.49 This is nature's proven method of operation.
The rule of selection “the survival of the fittest” is the one by which human beings have themselves arrived on the scene. We, being one of the most adaptable creatures the earth has yet produced, may last longer than most, 50 You may take it as another rule that when, at last, human beings show signs of dying out, no other creature will extend a paw (爪) to postpone our departure. On the contrary, we will be hurried out.
Life seems to have grown too tough for black robins. I leave you to judge whether we should try to do anything about it.
A Some creatures, certain small animals, insects and birds, will almost certainly outlast (比……長久)man, for they seem even more adaptable.
B Those that fail to meet the challenges will disappear early.
C Detailed studies are going on, and a public appeal for money has been made.
D Both represent orders in the classification of life.
E Is it any business of ours whether the black robin survives or dies out?
F These are the only black robins left in the world.
參考答案：
46 F這篇文章的主題是保護珍稀物種。文章第一段講到，離新西蘭不遠的一座島上生活著一些黑旅鶇，這些鳥已經不多了，1967年時還有50多只，1977年的時候還剩不到10只。選項F的意思是：這是世界上僅存的黑旅鶇了。邏輯上講，這兩句話的意思是講得通的，these就指前面的black robins，故答案為F。
47 C第二段第一句說，人們正采取一些積極的辦法來保護這種鳥類。采取什么辦法呢?選項C說，一方面詳細的研究工作正在進行，另一方面人們已經募集了許多錢來從事保護工作。選項C正是對本段第一句的說明或解釋，故選項C為正確答案。
48 E選項E是一個問句，第三段中的第一句和最后一句也是問句。根據這個線索我們也可以做出正確選擇。選項E的意思是說，黑旅鶇消失或是保存下來關我們什么事嗎?把它放到原文中去，意思連起來順暢，故選E。
49 B文章第四段主要在談地球上的萬物都遵循優(yōu)勝劣汰，適者生存的規(guī)律。選項B就是這個意思。注意這里的“those”指代的是those creatures。
50 A這一段還在談適者生存的規(guī)律，其中提到地球上的人類可能比某些物種存活的長久，選項A則說的是，有些物種(一些小動物、昆蟲或鳥類)卻比人存活的更久。此旬意思可以和前面的意思連得上，所以選A 第六部分：完型填空(第51～65題，每題1分，共15分)

China to Help Europe Develop GPS Rival
China is to contribute to a new global satellite navigation system being developed by European nations. The Galileo satellite system 51 a more accurate civilian alternative to the Global Positioning System(GPS), operated by the US military. China will provide 230m Euros (USD259m) in 52 and will cooperate with technical, manufacturing and market development. “China will help Galileo to 53 the major world infrastructure for the growing market for location services,” said Loyola de Palacio, EU transport commissioner. A new center that will coordinate co-operation was also announced 54 the European Commission, the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology not long 55 The China-Europe Global Navigation Satellite System Technical Training and Cooperation Center will be 56 at Beijing University. China has a substantial satellite launch industry and could potentially help launch the Galileo satellites.
The US has claimed that Galileo could interfere 57 the US ability to downgrade the GPS service during military conflicts. European officials say this is unfounded and counter that US opposition 58 the commercial challenge Galileo would present to GPS. Galileo will be precise to within a meter, while the civilian GPS service is accurate to around 10 meters.
The Galileo satellite constellation will 59 27 operational and three reserve satellites orbiting the Earth at an altitude of 23,600km. The satellites will be strung along three medium-Earth orbits at 56 degrees inclination to the equator and will provide global coverage. The system should be operational by 2008 and the entire project is expected to 60 around 3.2 billion Euros (USD3.6 billion).
The European Commission has said Galileo will primarily be used for transportation technology, scientific research, land management and disaster monitoring.
Galileo will provide two signals: a standard civilian one and in encrypted, wide-band signal 61 the Public Regulated Service (PRS). This second signal is designed to withstand localized jamming and will be used by police and military services in Europe. European Commission 62 have said China will not be given access to the PRS.
The first Galileo satellite is scheduled to launch late in 2004. Clocks on board 63 will be synchronized through 20 ground sensors stations, two command centers and 15 uplink stations.
Receivers on the ground will use time signals from the satellites to precisely calculate their 64 A “search and rescue” function will also 65 distress signals be relayed through the constellation of satellites.

51 C該段主要是說，中國將幫助歐洲建立一個全球衛(wèi)星導航系統(tǒng)。因此，作者整段使用了將來時。
52 A fund的意思是：to furnish a fund for(為……提供資金)。該句說，中國將提供二億三千萬歐元(二億五千九百萬美元)的資金。C和D在意思上不符合段意。
53 C A是錯誤的選項，因為伽利略(人造衛(wèi)星)本身就是the major world infrastructure for the growing market for location services。B和D與句意不符。
54 D was also announced是被動語態(tài)，其后是動作的執(zhí)行者the European Commission, the European Space Agency(ESA)和the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology，所以應選擇D。
55 B這個句子的動詞was also announced是過去時，句子的意思是說，前不久，歐洲貿易委員會、歐洲航天局和中國科技部宣布成立一個新的中心，來協(xié)調合作事宜。因此，B是正確選項。A是錯誤選項，因為，雖然before也有與ago相同的意思，但是在用法上不一樣,before與過去完成時一起使用。
56 D整個句子的意思是說該中心將設在北京大學內。be located at(或in)是正確搭配。
57 A interfere with是固定搭配，在這里的意思是：妨礙，干擾。
58 C這個句子說，美國對伽利略(人造衛(wèi)星)持反對態(tài)度，是由于伽利略(人造衛(wèi)星)對全嘲定位系統(tǒng)在商業(yè)上具有挑戰(zhàn)性。選項A、B和D的意思都是“導致”，所以不符合句意。Be due to的意思是“由于”或“由……造成”。
59 B這個句子告訴我們伽利略人造衛(wèi)星群由27個運作衛(wèi)星和3個儲備衛(wèi)星構成。B是“由……構成”的意思。選項A的be made from是“由……材料制造”的意思。選項C的consist in是“在于”或“存在于”的意思。consist of不能使用被動形式，所以選項D也是錯誤的。
60 D這個句子告訴讀者，整個工程預計花費(cost)約32億歐元。B和C與句意不符。選項A中的spend的意思是：to pay out(money)(花錢)，一般用作及物動詞，如：He spent 5 yuan on the book.而cost作為動詞的用法一般是：The book costs him 5 yuan.The book costs 5 yuan.動詞cost也沒有被動態(tài)形式。
61 B wide—band signal called the Public Regulated Service(PRS)叫做公共調控服務系統(tǒng)的寬帶信號。called在此是過去分詞作后置定語修飾wide—band signal。
62 A句子的謂語動詞have said決定了主語應該是人而不是物。B是單數名詞，不能用在這里。
63 B Clocks on board the satellite：在這架衛(wèi)星上的鐘表。這里的satellite特指前一句中的The first Galile0，所以使用了定冠詞the。選項A、C和D的內容文中都沒有出現過，所以是錯的。
64 D通篇文章談的都是定位系統(tǒng)，所以，地面接收借助定位系統(tǒng)來定位，應選location。其他三個選項(speed、direction、distance)都不符合上下文所表達的意思。
65 B從語法結構來看，只能選擇B，因為be relayed前沒有動詞不定式的形態(tài)標記to。
下面共有15個句子，每個句子中均有1個詞或短語劃有底橫線，請從每個句子后面所給的4個選項中選擇1個與劃線部分意義最相近的詞或短語。答案一律涂在答題卡相應的位置上。

Sauna
Ceremonial bathing has existed for thousands of years and has many forms, one of which is the sauna. The Finns have perfected the steam bath, or sauna, which may be taken, usually in an enclosed room, by pouring water over hot rocks or as dry heat bath. The Japanese, Greeks, Turks and Russians as well as Native Americans have forms of the sweat bath in their bathing rituals. Dry heat and steam baths had advocates in ancient Rome and pre-Columbian Americans used sweat lodges.
The earliest saunas were probably underground caves heated by a fire that naturally filled with smoke as chimney making was unknown at that time. a fire kept in a fire-pit would heat the rock walls of the cave. After reaching full heat, the smoke was let out of the cave and the stones would retain heat for several hours. A few people today say that the smoke sauna, “svusauna”, is the only true sauna experience and that all saunas should have at least a back-ground odor or smoke. Today most saunas use electric stoves, although gas and wood-burning stoves are available.
Saunas are relaxing and stress relieving. Those with muscle aches or arthritis may find that the heat relaxes muscles and relieves pain and inflammation. Asthma patients find that the heat enlarges air passageways of the lung and facilitates breathing. Saunas do not cure the common cold but they may help to alleviate congestion and speed recovery time. The body's core temperature usually rises a 1-2 degrees while in the sauna, thus imitating a slight fever. The regular use of a sauna may decrease the likelihood of getting a cold in the first place.
Sauna is goof for your skin as the blood flow to the skin increases and sweating occurs. Adults sweat about 2 lbs of water per hour on average in a sauna. A good sweat removes dirt and grime from pores and gives the skin a healthy glow. The loss in water weight is temporary as the body's physiological mechanisms will quickly restore proper volumes. The cardiovascular system gets work out as the heart must pump harder and faster to move blood to the surface for heat exchange. Heart rate may increase from 72 beats per minute on average to 100-150 beats per minute.
A normal heart can handle these stresses but those with heart trouble wishing to begin to use a sauna should seek a doctor's advice. The elderly and those with diabetes should check with their doctor prior to beginning to take saunas. Pregnant women should not take saunas, particularly in the first three months. Indeed, everyone just starting out should take short sessions at first to become accustomed to this type of bath.
31 Ceremonial bathing _________.
A is called the sauna by Finns
B is equivalent to the steam bath
C has various forms
D is held in an enclosed room
32 What is understood by some people to be the true sauna experience? _________
A Saunas in underground caves.
B Saunas with smoke.
C Saunas using wood burning stoves.
D Saunas using electric stoves.
33 According to the third paragraph, saunas can do all of the following EXCEPT_________.
A reducing the chance of getting cold
B speeding recovery
C relieving stress
D curing asthma
34 According to the fourth paragraph, sauna gives the skin a healthy glow because_________.
A pores are cleaned by sweat
B water is lost by sweating
C blood moves to the surface for heat exchange
D the heart pumps harder and faster
35 Who are advised not to take a sauna? _________
A Elderly people.
B Pregnant women.
C People with heart trouble.
D All of the above.
答案：31 C第一段的第一句告訴我們，ceremonial bathing有多種形式，其中一種是sauna。所以只有C是正確的選項。
32 B根據文章第二段的第四個句子，smoke sauna被有些人認為是真正的sauna。句中a background odor也是指煙熏的氣味。
33 D該段最后一句說The regular use of a sauna may decrease the likelihood of getting a cold;第四句說they may help t0…speed recovery time;第一句說Saunas are…stress relieving。所以，A,B、C都是桑拿可以做的。第三句說Asthma patients find that the heat en—larges air passageways of the lung and facilitates breathing，這不足以說明桑拿有治愈哮喘的作用。因此，應選擇D。
34 A該段第三句提供了答案。
35 D文章最后一段告誡幾種人不能洗桑拿，包括心臟病患者、老人、糖尿病患者、孕婦等。所以D是正確的選項。 第五部分：補全短文(第46～50題，每題2分，共10分)

Conservation or Wasted Effort?
The black robin (旅鶇) is one of the world's rarest birds. It is a small, wild bird, and it lives only on the island of Little Mangere, off the coast of New Zealand. In 1967 there were about fifty black robins there; in 1977 there were fewer than ten.46
Energetic steps are being taken to preserve the black robin. 47 The idea is to buy an-other island nearby as a special home, a “reserve”, for threatened wild life, including black robins. The organizers say that Little Mangere should then be restocked (重新準備) with the robin's food. Thousands of the required plants are at present being cultivated in New Zealand.
Is all this concern a waste of human effort? 48 Are we losing our sense of what is reasonable and what is unreasonable?
In the earth's long, long past hundreds of kinds of creatures have evolved, risen to a degree of success and died out. In the long, long future there will be many new and different forms of life. Those creatures that adapt themselves successfully to what the earth offers will survive for a long time.49 This is nature's proven method of operation.
The rule of selection “the survival of the fittest” is the one by which human beings have themselves arrived on the scene. We, being one of the most adaptable creatures the earth has yet produced, may last longer than most, 50 You may take it as another rule that when, at last, human beings show signs of dying out, no other creature will extend a paw (爪) to postpone our departure. On the contrary, we will be hurried out.
Life seems to have grown too tough for black robins. I leave you to judge whether we should try to do anything about it.
A Some creatures, certain small animals, insects and birds, will almost certainly outlast (比……長久)man, for they seem even more adaptable.
B Those that fail to meet the challenges will disappear early.
C Detailed studies are going on, and a public appeal for money has been made.
D Both represent orders in the classification of life.
E Is it any business of ours whether the black robin survives or dies out?
F These are the only black robins left in the world.
參考答案：
46 F這篇文章的主題是保護珍稀物種。文章第一段講到，離新西蘭不遠的一座島上生活著一些黑旅鶇，這些鳥已經不多了，1967年時還有50多只，1977年的時候還剩不到10只。選項F的意思是：這是世界上僅存的黑旅鶇了。邏輯上講，這兩句話的意思是講得通的，these就指前面的black robins，故答案為F。
47 C第二段第一句說，人們正采取一些積極的辦法來保護這種鳥類。采取什么辦法呢?選項C說，一方面詳細的研究工作正在進行，另一方面人們已經募集了許多錢來從事保護工作。選項C正是對本段第一句的說明或解釋，故選項C為正確答案。
48 E選項E是一個問句，第三段中的第一句和最后一句也是問句。根據這個線索我們也可以做出正確選擇。選項E的意思是說，黑旅鶇消失或是保存下來關我們什么事嗎?把它放到原文中去，意思連起來順暢，故選E。
49 B文章第四段主要在談地球上的萬物都遵循優(yōu)勝劣汰，適者生存的規(guī)律。選項B就是這個意思。注意這里的“those”指代的是those creatures。
50 A這一段還在談適者生存的規(guī)律，其中提到地球上的人類可能比某些物種存活的長久，選項A則說的是，有些物種(一些小動物、昆蟲或鳥類)卻比人存活的更久。此旬意思可以和前面的意思連得上，所以選A 第六部分：完型填空(第51～65題，每題1分，共15分)

China to Help Europe Develop GPS Rival
China is to contribute to a new global satellite navigation system being developed by European nations. The Galileo satellite system 51 a more accurate civilian alternative to the Global Positioning System(GPS), operated by the US military. China will provide 230m Euros (USD259m) in 52 and will cooperate with technical, manufacturing and market development. “China will help Galileo to 53 the major world infrastructure for the growing market for location services,” said Loyola de Palacio, EU transport commissioner. A new center that will coordinate co-operation was also announced 54 the European Commission, the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology not long 55 The China-Europe Global Navigation Satellite System Technical Training and Cooperation Center will be 56 at Beijing University. China has a substantial satellite launch industry and could potentially help launch the Galileo satellites.
The US has claimed that Galileo could interfere 57 the US ability to downgrade the GPS service during military conflicts. European officials say this is unfounded and counter that US opposition 58 the commercial challenge Galileo would present to GPS. Galileo will be precise to within a meter, while the civilian GPS service is accurate to around 10 meters.
The Galileo satellite constellation will 59 27 operational and three reserve satellites orbiting the Earth at an altitude of 23,600km. The satellites will be strung along three medium-Earth orbits at 56 degrees inclination to the equator and will provide global coverage. The system should be operational by 2008 and the entire project is expected to 60 around 3.2 billion Euros (USD3.6 billion).
The European Commission has said Galileo will primarily be used for transportation technology, scientific research, land management and disaster monitoring.
Galileo will provide two signals: a standard civilian one and in encrypted, wide-band signal 61 the Public Regulated Service (PRS). This second signal is designed to withstand localized jamming and will be used by police and military services in Europe. European Commission 62 have said China will not be given access to the PRS.
The first Galileo satellite is scheduled to launch late in 2004. Clocks on board 63 will be synchronized through 20 ground sensors stations, two command centers and 15 uplink stations.
Receivers on the ground will use time signals from the satellites to precisely calculate their 64 A “search and rescue” function will also 65 distress signals be relayed through the constellation of satellites.

51 C該段主要是說，中國將幫助歐洲建立一個全球衛(wèi)星導航系統(tǒng)。因此，作者整段使用了將來時。
52 A fund的意思是：to furnish a fund for(為……提供資金)。該句說，中國將提供二億三千萬歐元(二億五千九百萬美元)的資金。C和D在意思上不符合段意。
53 C A是錯誤的選項，因為伽利略(人造衛(wèi)星)本身就是the major world infrastructure for the growing market for location services。B和D與句意不符。
54 D was also announced是被動語態(tài)，其后是動作的執(zhí)行者the European Commission, the European Space Agency(ESA)和the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology，所以應選擇D。
55 B這個句子的動詞was also announced是過去時，句子的意思是說，前不久，歐洲貿易委員會、歐洲航天局和中國科技部宣布成立一個新的中心，來協(xié)調合作事宜。因此，B是正確選項。A是錯誤選項，因為，雖然before也有與ago相同的意思，但是在用法上不一樣,before與過去完成時一起使用。
56 D整個句子的意思是說該中心將設在北京大學內。be located at(或in)是正確搭配。
57 A interfere with是固定搭配，在這里的意思是：妨礙，干擾。
58 C這個句子說，美國對伽利略(人造衛(wèi)星)持反對態(tài)度，是由于伽利略(人造衛(wèi)星)對全嘲定位系統(tǒng)在商業(yè)上具有挑戰(zhàn)性。選項A、B和D的意思都是“導致”，所以不符合句意。Be due to的意思是“由于”或“由……造成”。
59 B這個句子告訴我們伽利略人造衛(wèi)星群由27個運作衛(wèi)星和3個儲備衛(wèi)星構成。B是“由……構成”的意思。選項A的be made from是“由……材料制造”的意思。選項C的consist in是“在于”或“存在于”的意思。consist of不能使用被動形式，所以選項D也是錯誤的。
60 D這個句子告訴讀者，整個工程預計花費(cost)約32億歐元。B和C與句意不符。選項A中的spend的意思是：to pay out(money)(花錢)，一般用作及物動詞，如：He spent 5 yuan on the book.而cost作為動詞的用法一般是：The book costs him 5 yuan.The book costs 5 yuan.動詞cost也沒有被動態(tài)形式。
61 B wide—band signal called the Public Regulated Service(PRS)叫做公共調控服務系統(tǒng)的寬帶信號。called在此是過去分詞作后置定語修飾wide—band signal。
62 A句子的謂語動詞have said決定了主語應該是人而不是物。B是單數名詞，不能用在這里。
63 B Clocks on board the satellite：在這架衛(wèi)星上的鐘表。這里的satellite特指前一句中的The first Galile0，所以使用了定冠詞the。選項A、C和D的內容文中都沒有出現過，所以是錯的。
64 D通篇文章談的都是定位系統(tǒng)，所以，地面接收借助定位系統(tǒng)來定位，應選location。其他三個選項(speed、direction、distance)都不符合上下文所表達的意思。
65 B從語法結構來看，只能選擇B，因為be relayed前沒有動詞不定式的形態(tài)標記to。
