26、one call from Iraq sometime before Christmas. Her son, Army specialist Joseph Darby, a military police officer in the reserves(not full-time soldiers), was on the phone and she could tell something was wrong . Darby, 24, would later come out as the soldier who first alerted (使警觉)the world to the abu
27、se(虐待) of Iraqi prisoners by US guards at Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad on January 13. I could tell in his voice he was not sleeping, Blank,45, recalls. He said, 1 dont feel good. Darby was feeling bad about something he thought was very wrong. It was really hard on him, his mother said. He didnt wan
28、t to go against his troops, but he said he could not stand the cruelty he had discovered. He said he kept thinking, What if that was my mum, my brother or my wife? Darby slipped an anonymous(匿名信) note under a military investigators door in January, about the mistreatment of prisoners. He later turne
29、d in a CD-ROM with1,000 photos documenting the cruelty, according to a recently disclosed internal Army report. I told him, Your picture is in the paper, Blank said. I said, Honey, you did a good thing and good always triumphs over evil. And he said, You re right, mum. Darby grew up in western Penns
30、ylvania, US. To help his family, he worked at a fast food restaurant as a teenager and as a mechanic after graduating from high school. He thought the Army might lead to a better life-even a college education. So, like many others, he ended up in Iraq. 56. How did Darby feel when he found the abuse
31、of Iraqi prisoners? A. Excited. B. Terrible. C. Pleased. D. Angry. 57. Blank_. A. worried about what Darby had done B: was proud of her son C. cared little about her son D. encouraged her son to tell the world the truth 58. Darby joined the arm to _. A. travel around the world for free B. support hi
32、s family C. improve his life D. occupy Iraq 59. The purpose of writing the passage is to_ A. criticize the US troops for their wrong doings in Iraq B. discuss whether Darby should disclose the abuse of Iraqi prisoners C. tell the life about the abuse of Iraqi prisoners D. show how Darby did in face
33、of the abuse of Iraqi prisonersBScientists have long doubted that one of most powerful objects in space is a black hole. Black holes create huge amounts of gravity. The gravity produced by a black hole is so strong it can even capture（捕获）light. Black holes pull everything into them. Recently NASA ex
34、erts released information and a photograph that shows a black hole slowly destroying a star. The power gravity of the black hole is tearing the star apart. Observations from two X-ray telescopes show evidence of this. The telescopes are NASA Chandra and the European Space Agencys XMM-Newton X-ray. T
35、hey were combined with earlier images from the German Roentgen Satellite. Scientists have been observing the black hole more than ten years. Stefanie Komossa works at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial (宇宙的) Physics in German. She is the leader of an international team of researchers. Mis
36、s Komossa says stars can bend or be stretched a small amount. However, evidence shows this star has been stretched so far it is now breaking apart. She says her star moved too close to the black hole. Scientists say the black hole they are observing has a mass of about 100-million times that of the
37、Sun. They believed the star that was destroyed was about the same size as the Sun. The black hole and the star are in a galaxy(银河系) about 700-million light years away from the Earth. 60. It can be learned from the first paragraph that the scientists seem to _in space. A. describe one of the most pow
38、erful objects B. worry about the huge amounts of gravity C. open out the result of a new discovery D. remind people of the secret of nature61. The underline, word evidence in the passage probably means_. . A. anything that gives reason for believing something B. the act or an instance of discovering
39、 C. information presented as objective reality D. the act of informing or the condition of being informed62 Which of the following is NOT right? A. It was long time ago that the black holes began to be observed. B. A star was pulled into the black hole because of the powerful gravity. C. Only X-ray
40、telescopes are used to observe the black hole in space. D. Scientists didnt believe that the black holes exist in space.63 The gravity produced by a black hole is so strong that_. A. maybe all the objects in space will be destroyed B. it can even capture light C. none of objects in space can avoid b
41、eing stretched D. the galaxy will become a target attacked in space CThe cicada（蝉） is a typical insect species which uses a combinatorial communication system. In their life cycle, communication is very important, for only through the exchange of sounds do cicadas know where to meet and when to mate
42、. Three different calls are employed for this purpose. Because of their limited sound producing mechanisms, cicadas can make only ticks and buzzes. The only way they can distinguish between congregation and courtship calls is by varying the rate with which they make ticks and buzzes. The congregatio
43、n call consists of 12 to 40 ticks, delivered rapidly, followed by a two-second buzz. It is given by males but attracts cicadas of both sexes. Once they are all together, the males use courtship calls. The preliminary call, a prolonged, slow ticking, is given when the male notices a female near him.
44、The advanced call, a prolonged series of short buzzes at the same slow rate, is given when a female is almost within grasp. The preliminary call almost in variably occurs before the advanced call, although the latter is given without the preliminary call occurring first if a female is suddenly disco
45、vered very near by During typical courtship, though, the two calls together result in ticking followed by a buzzing-the same pattern which comprises the congregation call but delivered at a slower rate. In this way, cicadas show efficient use of their minimal sound producing ability, organizing two
46、sounds delivered at a high rate as one call and the same sounds delivered at a slow rate as two more calls. 64. The cicada congregation call_. A. attracts only males. B. is given by both sexes. C. is given only by males. D. attracts only females. 65. During typical courtship, when a male first notic
47、es a female near him, he gives_. A. the two courtship calls together. B a series of slow ticks. C. 12 to 40 rapid ticks. D. a two-second buzz. 66. How does the congregation call differ from the two courtship calls together? A. It is delivered at a slower rate. B. It is delivered at a faster rate. C.
48、 The ticks precede the buzzes. D The buzzes precede the ticks.67. According to this passage, why is communication so important for cicadas? A. It helps them defend themselves against other insect species. B. It warns them of approaching danger. C. It separates the males from the females. D. It is ne
49、cessary for the continuation of the species. D.His feet had touched the ground again, but South African Mike Melvilles head was still high above the clouds. Seeing the earth from the edge of space was an amazing experience, said the 63-year-old pilot It was more than a personal experience. Melville
50、and his rocket plane Space Ship One made history last Monday when it became the first private manned flight to reach space. The spacecraft was carried by a jet (喷气机) until it reached a height of 14 kilometers. Then it separated from the jet and continued its journey beyond the earths atmosphere. The
51、 craft reached space by traveling at three times the speed of sound. On board, Melville was able to see the earth. He also became weightless for about 3 minutes when the craft reached its highest altitude of 100 kilometers. He even opened a bag of colorful chocolate sweets to see if they would float
52、 around in the cockpit (驾驶员座舱) - they did. The successful flight brought the design team, led by famous American designer Burt Rutan, closer to winning the USS10 million Ansari X Prize. The award will be given to the first privately funded (投资) spacecraft to send three people 100 kilometers above th
53、e earth. The spacecraft alsohas to land safely and repeat the achievement within two weeks. This is to prove that the craft is reliable ( 可靠的) and has the ability to carry paying customers. The flight opens a new chapter in history, putting space within the reach of ordinary citizens, said Patti Smi
54、th, head of commercial space transportation at the US Federal Aviation Administration (联邦航空局). Its hoped that this flight is the first step toward space tourism. Members of the public could pay US$20,000-100,000 for the chance to fly high above the earths atmosphere, float in zero gravity and take i
55、n the sights of space. Rutan thinks that affordable space flights will be possible within the next 10 to 15 years. And thats just the beginning. We are heading in to orbit sooner than you think, he said. We do not intend to stay in low-earth orbit for ages. The next 25 years will be a wild ride . on
56、e that history will note was done for the benefit of everyone.68. The story is about_. A. a successful flight into pace B. the beginning of affordable space flights C. competition for commercial space transportation D. the first private rocket plane69. According to Burt Rutan, what is likely to happ
57、en? A. Hell win the Ansari X Prize. B. A space flight will cost much less than 100,000. C. In a few decades, private space craft will travel high in space. D. The Space Ship One will make another flight within two weeks.70. The fact that chocolate sweets could float proves A. the spacecraft was flyi
58、ng faster than sound B. Melville was in space C. Melville was high above the earth D. there was a strong wind71 The title of this passage is _. A. Walk in space B. The first private manned spaceship reached space successfully C. The first spaceship D. A manned spaceship reached space successfullyE W
59、e sometimes think humans are the only species which can bear anxiety，but stress seems to affect the immune(免疫)system of lower animals too. In one experiment，for example，behavioral scientist Mark Lauden，at the University of Denver，gave m订d electric shocks to 24 rats. Half of the animals could turn of
60、f the electricity by turning a wheel in their cage，while the other half could not. The rats in the two groups were paired so that each time one rat turned the wheel it protected both itself and its helpless partner from the shock. Lauden found that the immune reaction was below normal in the helples
61、s rats but not in those that could turn off the electricity. What he has proved is that lack of control over an event，riot the experience itself，is what weakens the immune system. Other researchers agree. Jay Weiss，a scientist at Duke University School of Medicine，has shown that animals who life all
62、owed to control unpleasant stimuli(刺激)dont develop sleep disorder or changes in brain chemistry of stressed rats. But if the animals are faced with situations they have no control over，they later behave passively when faced with experiences they can control. Such findings make researchers believe th
63、at the experience or feeling of helplessness is one of the most harmful factors in stress. One of the most surprising examples of how the mind can change the immune reaction was discovered by chance. In 1995 Robert Ader at the University of Rochester School of Medicine experimented on mice to avoid
64、saccharin(糖精)by feeding them at the same time with the sweetener and a drug that while harming their immune systems caused stomach upsets. Connecting the saccharin with stomach pains，the mice quickly learned to avoid the sweetener. In order to get rid of this dislike for the sweetener，Ader fed the a
65、nimals with saccharin again，this time without the drug，and was astonished to find that those mice that had received the highest amount of sweetener the first time died. He believed that saccharin alone weakened their immune systems enough to kill them.72. Laudens experiment showed that the immune sy
66、stem of those rats who could turn off the electricity_. A. was strengthened B. was not affected C. was changed D. was weakened73.According to the passage，the experience of helplessness causes rats to_. A. try to control unpleasant stimuli B. turn off the electricity C. behave passively in controllab
67、le situations D. become harmful74.The reason why the mice in Aders experiment avoided saccharin was that_. A. they disliked its taste B. it affected their immune systems C. it 1ed to stomach pains D. they connected it with stomach pains75.According to the passage，the most probable reason for the dea
68、th of the mice in Adels experiment was that_.A. they had been weakened by the saccharin B. the sweetener was poisonous to them C. the immune systems had been changed by the mind D. they had taken too much sweetener during the first experiment（第二卷（共35分）第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节 阅读填空，每空不超过三个单词（共10小题。每小题1分

It may be helpful, if you follow them while studying.Repetition Practicing the material time and time again helps pe
70、ople remember it. The more people repeat information, the more likely they are to remember that information.Overlearning Overlearning ,or continuing to practice the material even after it is learned, can help to keep it in mind for a longer time. Maybe you have got bored, but you may benefit more if
71、 you can stick to it.Distributed Practice Learning material in short sessions over a long period is called distributed practice. This process is the opposite of cramming (囫囵吞枣), which is also called massed practice. Distributed practice is better for you to remember some tedious things.Minimizing th
72、e Interference People remember material better if they dont learn other similar material soon after their effort. One way to minimize the interference is to sleep after studying the material, since people cant learn new material while sleeping. And when you get up in the morning, you may be amazed a
73、t your good memory.Deep Processing People also remember material better if they learn it and think about its meaning rather than only memorize the information itself. One way to catch the meaning of the information is to use a method called elaboration. Elaboration involves associating the material
74、being learned with other materials. For example, people could associate the new material with previously learned material, with a story from their own lives, with a clear example, or with a movie they have recently seen.76._Ways to improve memory What is 77._ to doReception78._ the information as mu

As you know, the population of China is growing very fast. In order to control the rapid increase of population, in the 1980s the government
80、 of China began to put into practice the family program - one child for each couple. As a result, most families have only one child. Most people are in favor of the program because the child in the family can get more love from the family and chances are better for the child to get better education.
81、 The only child is selfish, and not so independent, though. Sometimes they feel lonely. I think, every the only child like me should learn to make more friends. Hope that we write more often.
