17、s relations with Beijing and Seoul.PART II READING COMPREHENSION (40 Points)In this section there are five passages followed by a total of 20 multiple-choice questions. Read the passages and then write your answers on your answer sheet.Passage 1Groslier had proposed that the water management system
18、at Angkor had been devised to remedy the uncertainties of the monsoon and particularly the length of the dry season. He lacked, however, any measure for quite how uncertain the monsoon would have been during the 500 years of Angkors rise and fall; presumably he drew on his own experience of SE Asia
19、with regard to how the intensity and duration of rainfall in one year can be quite different to that of the next. It was not until 2009 that the first measure of monsoon uncertainty for the Angkor period was devised, this coming from a study of tree rings from 1,000-year-old cypress trees. This show
20、ed not only that Groslier was correct to suppose a considerable degree of climate uncertainty throughout the Angkor period, but also that this became particularly marked in the middle to late 14th and early 15th centuries: the dramatic swings between intense drought and heavy rainfall appears to hav
21、e caused an Angkor demise.Growing in the highlands of Vietnam are some rare and especially old cypress trees, Fokienia hodginsii. Professor Brendan Buckley from Columbia University and his colleagues searched these out and took cores through their trunks to get a sample of the tree rings from throug
22、hout the period of their growth. Each tree ring records one year of growth and in general terms its width records how much water was available. Buckley and his colleagues were able to produce a 759-year-long sequence for4between 1250 and 2008, recording the variation in the intensity of the monsoon
23、just the type of data that Groslier would have loved to have seen.This record showed that the monsoon got weaker that is, there was less rain in the middle to late 14th century, with some periods of sustained drought. Shorter periods of more severe drought occurred in the early 15th century, with th
24、e single driest year of the whole record being in 1403. But what is especially important is that during this period of the middle to late 14th and early 15th centuries, the tree rings also record some of the wettest years, the most intense monsoon. So in the context of an overall decline in rainfall
25、, the period during which Angkor is known to have declined and then become effectively abandoned was one with the highest degree of rainfall variation years of drought interspersed with years of intense rain.1. Before the year 2009, _A. Groslier had proved the uncertainties of the monsoon.B. Groslie
26、r had measured the uncertainties of the monsoon. C. The rainfall was intense in Southeast Asia.D. Groslier thought the monsoon had been uncertain based on his own experience.2. A study of tree rings from 1,000-year-old cypress trees was conducted _.A. to prove that Groslier was wrong.B. to measure t
27、he monsoon uncertainty for the Angkor period.C. to show climate uncertainty in the middle to late 14th and early 15th centuries.D. to prove the dramatic swings between intense drought and heavy rainfall.3. Which statement is correct about Fokienia hodginsii?A. They are very common and especially old
28、 cypress trees.B. The length of each tree ring records how much water was available.C. The 759-year-long sequence was all the information Groslier had needed.D. They provided the very data to prove Grosliers belief.4. In the early1400s, _5A. the most severe drought occurred, causing the fall of Angk
29、or.B. Angkor is known to have declined and then become effectively abandoned.C. the tree rings also record some of the wettest years.D. the least rainfall was recorded in 1403.5. From the whole passage, it can be inferred that _A. Rainfall changes caused the fall of Angkor.B. Brendan Buckley did not believe in Groslier at all.C. Cypress trees are important to sustain Angkor.D. Rainfall was important for cypress trees.Passage 2The increase in the margin rate from 50% to 70% was not an attempt to
