37、e center on an island in the Arctic Ocean. The place would be large enough to hold about two million seeds. The goal is to present all crops known to scientists. The British magazine New Scientist published details of the plan last month. The structure will be designed to protect the worlds food sup
38、ply against nuclear war, climate change and other possible threats. It will be built in a mountain on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen. The mountain is less than one thousand kilometers from the North Pole, the northernmost position on earth. An international group called the Global Crop Diversit
39、y Trust is working on the project. The director of the group, Cary Fowler, spoke to New Scientist. He said the project would let the world rebuild agriculture if, in his word, “the worst came to the worst”. Norway is expected to start work next year. The project is expected to cost three million dol
40、lars. Workers will drill deep in the side of a sandstone mountain. Temperatures in the area never rise above 0C. The seeds will be protected behind concrete walls a meter thick and high-security door. The magazine report says the collection will represent the products of ten thousand years of farmin
41、g. Most of the seeds at first will come from collections at seed banks in Africa, Asia and Latin America. To last a long time, seeds need to be kept in very low temperatures. Workers will not be present all the time. But they plan to replace the air inside the storage space each winter. Winter tempe
42、ratures on the island are about eighteen degrees below 0C. The cold weather would protect the seeds even if the air could not be replaced. Mr. Fowler says the proposed structure will be the worlds most secure gene bank. He says the plant seeds would only be used when all other seeds are gone for som
43、e reason. Norway first proposed the idea in the 1980s. But security concerns delayed the plan.

55、t Maya people. These findings show that the Maya developed their civilization centuries earlier than experts thought. While Europe was still in the midst of the Dark Ages, these Maya had charted the heavens, evolved the only true writing system native to the Americas and were masters of mathematics
56、and calendar. Without advantage of metal tools, beasts of burden or even the wheel, they were able to construct vast cities. Their legacy in stone, which has survived in an impressive fashion at places, lives on as do the seven million descendants (后嗣) of the classic Maya civilization.Scientists hav
57、e made some recent discoveries about the ancient Maya people. Experts call the time between the year 250 and the year 1900 the Classic Maya Period. It was a period of great civilization. Until now, scientists think that earlier Maya people were simple farmers. The discoveries show that they used wri
58、ting, drew pictures and built complex structures. Three separate teams made the discoveries in the rainforest of Guatemala (危地马拉).Scientists have found some things they say are more than 2000 years old. For example, a team found two masks inside the main pyramid in a city. These masks are three mete
59、rs tall. They are cut in the image of a sun god. The Maya used the pyramid as a temple. The masks may have been a part of ceremonies led by a king. At Waka, scientists found the burial place of a woman they think was a Maya queen. They believe she ruled more than 1,200 years ago. Her bones were lyin
60、g on a stone table. Many jewels surrounded her remains. The team also found pieces of green stone that appeared to be the remains of the kind of war helmet worn by rulers. Scientists say the discovery will help them understand how Maya women shared power with men. Not many burial places of important
61、 royal women have been found. Also in northern Guatemala, scientists found a stone showing an 8th-century king playing a game of ball with visiting rulers. It is the third such stone found at the city of Cancuen. They also found large pieces of stone with writing and pictures of leaders. A Guatemala

66、 A. The British and Americans were to fight the Germans on the WestB. Hitler resulted in Roosevelts final decisionC. Soviet forces suffered great loss from the German attackD. Why Roosevelt would use most of his forces to fight against GermanyE. The Allied Forces launched their first attack in north
67、 AfricaF. The cause of American being involved in the war76._Japan attack on Pearl Harbor in December nineteen forty-one had brought America into the war. And it had severely damaged American military power. But Roosevelt decided not to strike back at Japan immediately. He would use most of his forc
68、es to fight Germany. There were several reasons for Roosevelts decision.77._First, Germany already controlled much of Europe, as well as much of the Atlantic Ocean. Roosevelt considered this a direct threat. And he worried about possible German intervention in Latin America. Second, Germany was an a
69、dvanced industrial nation. It had many scientists and engineers. Its factories were modern. Roosevelt was concerned that Germany might be able to develop deadly new weapons, such as an atomic bomb, if it was not stopped quickly. Third, Britain historically was one of Americas closest allies. And the
70、 British people were united and fighting for their lives against Germany. This was not true in Asia. Japans most important opponent was China. But Chinas fighting forces were weak and divided, and could not offer strong opposition to the Japanese.78._Hitlers decision to break his treaty with Josef S
71、talin and attack the Soviet Union made Roosevelts choice final. The American leader recognized that the Germans would have to fight on two points: in the west against Britain and in the east against Russia. He decided it was best to attack Germany while its forces were divided. So Washington sent mo
72、st of its troops and supplies to Britain to join in the fight against Germany.79._American military leaders hoped to attack Germany quickly by launching an attack across the English Channel. Stalin also supported this plan. Soviet forces were suffering terrible from the Nazi attack and wanted the Br
73、itish and Americans to fight the Germans on the west.80._However, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and other leaders opposed launching an invasion across the English Channel too quickly. They worried that such an invasion might fail, while the Germans were still so strong. And they knew this
74、 would mean disaster. For this reason, British and American decided instead to attack the Italian and German occupation troops in north Africa. Section DDirections：Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Many parents of preschoole
75、rs struggle with their childrens fears of real and imaginary creatures. A new study offers some ideas on how they can better manage their childrens worries. The study, which was carried out by researchers at the University of California, Davis, appears in the November/December 2009 issue of the jour
76、nal Child Development.Researchers studied about 50 4-, 5-, and 7-year-olds in an effort to identify coping strategies that can be carried out by children. The children listened to a series of short illustrated stories. Each story featured a child alone or with another person who came into contact wi
77、th something that looked like a real or an imaginary frightening creature, such as a snake or a ghost. Children were asked to predict how intensely afraid each of the children in the stories were, to give a reason why each child felt that way, and to offer a way to help the child in the story feel l
78、ess afraid.来源：考试大的美女编辑们In situations in which a childs fear was caused by real creatures, the researchers found, children would rather do something than think positive thoughts. In these situations, boys more often suggested fighting, while girls more often wanted to avoid the creature.They also fou
79、nd that between ages 4 and 7, children show more understanding that peoples thoughts and beliefs can both cause and reduce fear. While preschoolers tended to suggest pretending the imaginary creature was friendly, older children tended to suggest reminding themselves what the reality was. Therefore,
80、 the researchers say, preschoolers may benefit from seeing things in a more positive light (Lets pretend the dragon is nice), while older children may do better when they focus on whats real and whats not (Dragons arent real).These results should help parents by reminding them to keep in mind their
