8、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AIs it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient practice which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always bad and usually foolish, but in the past, the human race managed to live with it. Modern cleverness has c
9、hanged this. Either man will end the existence of war, or war will end the existence of man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological(细菌学上的) or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeeded in ending the existen
10、ce of nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in ending war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look up on international problems in a new way not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in killing p
11、eople, but by settling in accordance with agreed rules of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.There are those who say that the acceptance of this or that ideology(意识) would prevent war. I believe this to be a big mistake. All ideologies are based
12、upon dogmatic statements (强词夺理) ，which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their supporters believe in them so deeply that they are willing to go to war in support of them.The movement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome. It has be
13、come a common place that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world, but the spirit in which they are coming nearer to is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, tha
14、t negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important struggle nowadays is not between different countries but between man and the atom bomb.21This passage implies that war is now_.A. worse than in
15、 the pastB. as bad as in the pastC. not as dangerous as in the pastD. as necessary as in the past22From Paragraph 2 we learn that the writer of the passage_.A. is a supporter of some modern ideologiesB. does not think that the acceptance of any ideologies could prevent warC. believes that the accept
16、ance of some ideologies could prevent warD. does not doubt the truth of any ideologies23According to the writer,_.A. war is the only way to solve international argumentsB. war will be less dangerous because of the improvement of weaponsC. it is impossible for people to live without warD. war must be
17、 ended if man wants to surviveBRetirement should be time of joy and freedom. However, for some people retirement comes with feelings of depression, which makes life difficult for them.Retirement is a major life change. Even good changes usually involve some kinds of loss. When you retire, you find y
18、ourself lacking whatever working used to provide. That could include, for example, 1. knowing youre working for society, 2. getting admiration from your skills, 3. having “aha” moments when you solve problems, 4. having people to socialize with, and 5. simply having a place to go and a reason to get
19、 out of bed every day. For most people, theres a financial loss, too. Also, retirement age is a time when a lot of people have to deal with losing their parents or having serious health problems of their own.Because of all these, retirees are more likely to get depressed. Depression is very harmful.
20、 First, depression can make physical health problems worse. Second, it takes a toll on relationships, because it can make people angry. Third, its hard to get much done when youre depressed.What can we do to overcome the feelings of depression? First, do all the things that help depression in genera
21、l: drink enough water, exercise, talk to friends, have a hobby, laugh, and spend time in nature. If you feel depressed more often than not, its probably time to talk to a doctor about your feelings. Second, its important to keep busy and get out of the house when you can. Make specific plans with fr
22、iends. Take a class Volunteer. Or just make sure you start each day with some kind of goal. Third, try to focus on what youve gained by retiring. Think about what you may have now that you wished you had before you were able to retire. For example, days that are less stressful, a chance to rest and
23、take better care of your body, more time for your family and yourself. To write, to start a hobby and to learn something new are all new possibilities. Finally, tell your story. Youve lived a long time and you become an oral historian each time you talk with someone about your experiences. You can a
24、lso write in a journal or make a video recording of your memories. Telling your stories can help you look back on your life and career with a sense of wholeness and achievements.24People may find life very hard after they retire because of _.A. freedom B. nervousnessC. discouragement (losing heart)
25、D. hard work25All the following can cause the retirees unpleasant feelings EXCEPT _.A. they will suffer from financial lossB. they have to support their parentsC. they may lose the reason to get up earlyD. they may have fewer people to socialize with26The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 means _.A
26、. it makes peoples relationships unusualB. it makes peoples relationships in peaceC. it makes peoples relationships in dangerD. it makes people stay in touch with each other.27What would be the best title for the passage?A. Depression and RetirementB. Depression During Retirement Is HarmfulC. Reason
27、s for Depression During RetirementD. How to Overcome Depression During RetirementCYou may have heard adults say they are uncomfortable in the morning without a cup of coffee. One reason they may feel that way is that coffee contains caffeine(咖啡因). Caffeine occurs naturally in coffee, tea, and cocoa
28、beans, which are used to make chocolate. But now food makers are adding it to many products, from potato chips to water.The US government is especially worried about the problem. Thats why the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is studying the health effects of caffeine on young people. Studies show
29、 that too much caffeine can make people nervous and unable to sleep. Whats more, caffeine is habit-forming. Those who consume it regularly and stop suddenly may experience headaches and feel tired. One of the biggest concerns is the large amount of caffeine added to so-called energy drinks, like Red
30、 Bull. A 12-ounce can of cola has about 35 milligrams of caffeine. A similar serving of Red Bull contains more than three times that amount. The Institute of Medicine is also working on caffeine-safety measures. “Teenagers should not drink beverages(饮料) that contain caffeine. They should be aware of
31、 caffeines effects on health and on how the brain works. Take, for example, teenagers who consume caffeine to stay awake and study for a test. They will remember less of what they just studied,” said Stallings, a member of the institute. Companies that make products with added caffeine claim they do
32、 not advertise them to kids. However, there is no law to stop children from buying them. So the FDA needs to set limits on caffeine, especially in energy drinks. As for added caffeine in foods, the government should just say no. If not, the amount of caffeine should be printed on food labels to remi
33、nd consumers. The government must do that. Doctors say kids should avoid caffeine. If you need extra energy, try these natural boosters: eat right, exercise, and get plenty of sleep.28What is the US government particularly concerned about?A. The fact that coffee contains caffeine. B. The measures of
34、 avoiding caffeines effects.C. The practice of adding caffeine to foods.$来&源：D. The practice of using caffeine to make chocolate.29Red Bull is listed in the third paragraph as an example of _.A. drinks which contain much caffeineB. Caffeines effects on healthC. Teenagers addiction to caffeine D. Peo
35、ples concern about teenagers health30Paragraph 5 is mainly about _.A. the process of the governments controlling the use of caffeineB. the measures of protecting teenagers from caffeines effectsC. the governments responsibility of taking care of teenagersD. the risk of buying products containing caf
36、feine nowadays31The author may agree that _.A. getting enough sleep can make people energeticB. headaches and feeling tired are common in teenagersC. food makers dont add much caffeine to many products nowD. caffeine is good and useful for teenagers studyDMost people know precious gemstones (宝石) by
37、their appearances. An emerald(绿宝石) flashes deep green, a ruby(红宝石) seems to hold a red fire inside, and a diamond shines like a star. Its more difficult to tell where the gem(宝石) was mined, since a diamond from Australia or Arkansas may appear the same to one from the Democratic Republic of the Cong
38、o. However, recently, a team of scientists has found a way to identify a gemstones origin.Beneath the surface of a gemstone, on the tiny level of atoms(原子) and molecules（分子）, lie clues to its origin. At this years meeting of the Geological Society of America in Minneapolis, Catherine McManus reporte
39、d on a technique that uses lasers (激光) to clarify these clues and identify a stones homeland. McManus directs scientific research at Materialytics, in Killeen, Texas. The company is developing the technique. “With enough data, we could identify which country, which mining place, even the individual
40、mine a gemstone comes from,” McManus told Science News.Some gemstones, including many diamonds, come from war-torn(战火中的) countries. Sales of those “blood minerals” may encourage violent civil wars where innocent people are injured or killed. In an effort to reduce the trade in blood minerals, the U.
41、S. government passed law in July 2010 that requires companies that sell gemstones to determine the origins of their stones.To figure out where gemstones come from, McManus and her team focus a powerful laser on a small sample of the gemstone. The technique is called laser-induced breakdown spectrosc
42、opy(光谱学0. Just as heat can turn ice into water or water into steam, energy from the laser changes the state of matter of the stone. The laser changes a miniscule part of the gemstone into plasma(等离子体), a gas state of matter in which tiny particles（微粒）called electrons separate from atoms.The plasma,
43、which is superhot, produces a light pattern. (The science of analyzing this kind of light pattern is called spectroscopy.) Different elements produce different patterns, but McManus and her team say that gemstones from the same area produce similar patterns, which is the key to identify the origin o
44、f the stone. Materialytics has already collected patterns from thousands of gemstones, including more than 200 from diamonds. They can compare the light pattern from an unknown gemstone to patterns they do know and look for a match. The light pattern acts like a signature, telling the researchers th
45、e origin of the gemstone.In a small test, the laser technique correctly identified the origins of 95 out of every 100 diamonds. For gemstones like emeralds and rubies, the technique proved successful for 98 out of every 100 stones. The scientists need to collect and analyze more samples, including t
46、hose from war-torn countries, before the tool is ready for commercial use.Scientists like Barbara Dutrow, a mineralogist from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, find the technique exciting. “This is a basic new tool that could provide a better fingerprint of a material from a particular loca
47、lity,” she told Science News.32We learn from Paragraph 1 that _.A. an emerald and a ruby are names of diamonds. B. Its not difficult to tell where the gem was mined.C. appearances help to identify the origin of gemstones.D. diamonds from different places may appear the same.33.Why did the U.S. gover
48、nment pass law that requires companies selling gemstones to determine the origins of their stones?A. To look for more gemstones.B. To encourage violent civil wars.C. To reduce the trade in blood minerals.D. To develop the economy.34Which of the following facts most probably helps McManus and her tea
49、m in identifying the origin of stones?A. Heat can turn ice into water or water into steam.B. Gemstones from the same area produce similar light patterns.C. Laser can change a miniscule part of the gemstone into plasma.D. Materialytics has already collected patterns from thousands of gemstones.35From
50、 the last two paragraphs, what can be inferred about the laser technique?A. It is ready for commercial use.B. People can use the new tool to find more gemstones.C. It can significantly reduce the gemstones trade in blood minerals.D. It will bring about a revolutionary change in identifying the origi
51、n of minerals.第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Secret codes keep messages private. Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer. People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 3
52、6 Code breaking never lags far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography. There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.” 38 You might represe
53、nt each letter with a number, for example. Lets number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “135 520 135.” A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you
54、must have a code book. 39 For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.” 40 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.A. It is very hard to break a code witho
55、ut the code book.B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message.D. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.E. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.F. With a code boo
56、k, you might write down words that would stand for other words.G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet. 第三部分完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。In the week before Christmas, one Delta airlines pil
