20、ientists around the world are racing to learn how to rapidly diagnose, treat and stop the spread of a new, deadly disease. SASR-Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-was _36_ for the first time in February 2003 in Hanoi, _37_ since then has infected more than 1,600 people in 15 countries, killing 63. At

Scientists are close to _45_ a lab test to diagnose SARS. In the meantime, it is diagnosed by its symptoms. There is no an evidence _46_ antibiotic or

29、er to find the best solution to it. Scientists, especially, like doing experiments before they make their conclusions. Yet scientific experiments can sometimes go wrong and the results may range from the disastrous to the troubling. One such experiment took place in South America fifty years ago. Wh
30、ether its final consequences will cause serious damage or nothing more than a small trouble still remains to be seen. The story began in 1956 when an American scientist working in Brazil decided to solve the problem of increasing the productivity of that countrys bees. He imported a very active type
31、 of African bee from Tanzania and mated it with the more easy-going native variety to produce a new kind of bees. The new bees worked harder and produced twice as much honey. It seemed that the scientist had a total success on his hands. Then things began to go wrong. For some reason as yet unseen,
32、but perhaps as a result of something in their environment, the new bees began to develop extremely attacking personalities. They became bad-tempered and easy to be angry, attacked the native bees and drove them from their living places. But worse was to follow. Having taken over the countryside, the
33、 new bees, with their dangerous stings, began to attack its neighborcats, dogs, horses, chickens and finally human beings. A long period of terror began that has so far killed a great number of animals and about 150 human beings. This would have been enough if the bees had stayed in Brazil. But now
34、they are on the move, heading northwards in countless millions towards Central and North America, and moving at the alarming speed of 200 miles a year. The countries that lie in their path are naturally worried because it looks as if nothing can be done to stop them. 56. According to the passage, th
35、e results of the experiment in South America _. A. have proved to be wrong B. are not important C. have caused a serious trouble D. are not yet certain57. The experiment mentioned in this passage was designed to _. A. increase the number of bees in Brazil B. make African bees less active C. increase
36、 the amount of honey in Brazil D. make Brazilian bees more easy-going58. From the last paragraph, it can inferred that _. A. the bees prefer to live in Brazil B. the bees have been driven to Central and North America C. the bees must be stopped from moving north D the bees may bring about trouble in
37、 more countries B In our daily life now, you may often find some people like to do several things together at the same time. They may watch TV while playing cell phones, and they may work while chatting with their close friends. As a new research suggests, people who multitask all the time may be th
38、e worst at doing two things at once. The findings, based on performances and self-evaluations by about 300 college students, indicate that many people multitask not out of a desire to increase productivity, but because they are easily distracted and cant focus on one activity. And “those people turn
39、 out to be the worst at handling different things,” said David Sandy, a psychologist at the University of Utah. Sandy and his colleagues gave the students a set of tests and asked them to report how often they multitasked, how good they thought they were at it, and how sensation-seeking(寻求刺激) or imp
40、ulsive(冲动) they were. They then evaluated the participants multitasking ability with a tricky mental task that required the students to do simple mathematical calculations while remembering a set of letters. Not surprisingly, the scientists said, most people thought they were better than average at
41、multitasking, and those who thought they were better at it were more likely to report using a cell phone while driving or viewing multiple kinds of media at once. But those who frequently deal with many things at the same time were found to perform the worst at the actual multitasking test. They als
42、o were more likely to admit to sensation-seeking and impulsive behavior, which connects with how easily people get bored and distracted. “People multitask not because its going to lead to greater productivity, but because theyre distractible, and they get sucked into things that are not as important
43、,” Sandy said. Adam, a researcher at the University of California, who was not a member of the research group, said one limitation of the study was that it couldnt find out whether people who start out less focused tend toward multitasking or whether peoples recognizing and understanding abilities c
44、hange as a result of multitasking. The findings do suggest, however, why the sensation-seekers who multitask the most may enjoy risky distracted driving. “People who are multitasking are generally less sensitive to risky situations,” said Paul, another researcher not in the group. “This may partly e
45、xplain why people go in for these situations even though theyre dangerous.59. The research led by Sandy indicates that people who multitask_. A. prefer handling different things when getting bored B. have the poorest results in doing various things at the same timeC. seek high productivity constantl
46、yD. are more focused when doing many things at a time60. When Sandy and his colleagues conducted their research, they_. A. evaluated the academic achievements of the students B. measured the changes of the students understanding ability C. assessed the multitasking ability of the students D. analyze
47、d the effects of the participants tricky mental tasks 61. According to Sandy, people multitask because of their_. A. inability to concentrate on one task B. limited power in calculation C. interests in doing things differently D. impulsive desire to try new things62. From the last paragraph, we can
48、learn that people who multitask usually _. A. go in for difficult tasks B. fail to react quickly to potential dangers. C. drive very skillfully D. refuse to explain the reasons for their behaviorC Health insurance is a great concern to Americans now. Its likely that many Americans lack health insura
49、nce with the economy having no sign of picking up. The National Academy of Sciences reported Thursday. “Unless health insurance is made more affordable, the number of uninsured Americans is likely to continue growing over time,” said Mary Sue Coleman, co-chairwoman of the committee that wrote the re
50、port. The report is the first six planned by the institute of Medicine over two years. The series is planned to find out who lacks health insurance and why, and determine what the consequences are and provide the groundwork for debate on how to correct the problem. The institute is part of the acade
51、my, a private organization supported by Congress to advise the government of scientific matters. This first report seeks to draw a picture of the millions who lack insurance. It does not offer any recommendations. “Much of what Americans think they know about the uninsured is wrong,” said Dr. Arthur
52、 Kellermann, a public health professor at Emory University Schools of Medicine in Atlanta, who also worked on the report. The Census Bureau reported last month that 38.7 million Americans went without coverage for all of 2000, compared with 39.3 million the year before, thanks to the booming economy
53、. Experts say the trend is likely to reverse this year, given that the economy was slowing even before the Sep. 11 terrorist attacks. “Unfortunately, the recent economic slowdown might have reversed the modest gains in coverage for shorter periods.” The report said that with insurance costs rising,
54、more employers and individuals may conclude they are unable to afford coverage. Premium increases were often absorbed by employers in the strong economy of the 1990s, but that may not continue as the economy softens, the report said. The panel found that about 13.6 million of the uninsured work for
55、employers that do not offer health insurance. Individually purchased coverage may be prohibitively costly. 63. According to Mary Sue Coleman, one way of keeping the number of insured Americans from continuing to increase is _. A. setting up a special fund B. raising employers salariesC. reducing tax
56、esD. reducing insurance cost64. The chief objective of the first of the six reports is to _. A. explain why certain groups of people lack health insuranceB. find out who lack health insuranceC. determine the consequences from the lack of health insurance D. provide suggestions to address the health
57、insurance issue65. What is the best title of the passage? A. How economic situation affects health insuranceB. Why many Americans are losing their insurance C. Millions of Americans lack health insurance D. How health insurance is purchased D On a lot of occasions, you have to make some public speak
58、ing. However, public speaking fills most people with dread. Humiliation is the greatest fear; self-exposure and failing to appeal to the audience come a close second. Women hate it most, since girls are pressurized from an early age to be concerned with appearance of all kinds. Most people have plen
59、ty of insecurities, and this seems like a situation that will bring them out. If you were under pressure to be perfect, you are terrified of failing in the most public of ways. While extroverts will feel less fear before the ordeal(煎熬), it does not mean they will necessarily do it better. Some very
60、shy people manage to shine. When I met the British Comedian Julian, he was shy and cautious, yet his TV performances are perfect. In fact, personality is not the best predictor of who does it well. Regardless of what you are like in real life, the key seems to be to act yourself. Actual acting, as i
61、n performing the scripted lines of a character other than yourself, does not do the job. While politicians may limit damage by having carefully rehearsed, written scripts to speak from, there is always a hidden awareness among the audience that the words might not be true. Likewise, the incredibly p
62、erfect speeches of many American academics are far from natural. You may end up buying their book on the way out, but soon afterwards, it is much like fast food, and you get a nameless sense that youve been cheated.Although, as Earl Spencer proved at his sister Princess Dianas funeral, it is possibl
63、e both to prepare every word and to act naturally. A script rarely works and it is used to help most speakers. But, being yourself doesnt work either. If you spoke as if you were in your own kitchen, it would be too authentic, too unaware of the need to communicate with an audience. I remember going
64、 to see British psychiatrist R.D. Laing speak in public. He behaved like a seriously odd person, talking off the top of his head. Although he was talking about madness and he wrote on mental illness, he seemed to be exhibiting rather than explaining it. The best psychological place from which to spe
65、ak is an unselfconscious self-consciousness, providing the illusion of being natural. Studies suggest that this state of “flow”, as psychologists call it, is very satisfying. 66. Women hate public speaking most mainly because of _.A. their sense of greater public pressureB. their sense of greater hu
66、miliationC. their upbringing very early onD. their inability to appeal to the audience67. “this” in paragraph two refers to _.A. pressureB. public speakingC. insecurity D. sense of failure68. Which of the following is NOT the authors viewpoint?A. Acting like performers spoils the message in a speech
67、.B. There should be a balance between actual acting and acting naturally.C. Acting naturally means less dependence on the prepared script.D. Perfection of scripts is necessary in making good impressions.69. What is the authors view on personality?A. Extroverts are better public speakers.B. Introvert
68、s have to learn harder to be good speakers.C. Factors other than personality ensure better performanceD. Personality is the key to success in public speaking70. In the last paragraph, the author recommends that_.A. you may feel nervous, but appear naturallyB. you forget about your nervousnessC. you
69、may imagine yourself to be naturalD. you feel naturally and speak naturally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，选项中有两处为多余选项。 New look of TOEFL Chinese students who want to go to America to study wont be glad to hear this news.
