27、imit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climate in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed forests in these areas over the past decade. Scientists predict that with climate warming, fires may occur more frequently over next several centuries as a result of a longer fire season. Sun
28、light taken in by the earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to cause cooling.This is the first study to analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fire in northern regions speed up climate war
29、ming because greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are released into the atmosphere and thus trap heat.Scientists found that right after the fire, large amounts of greenhouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozone（臭氧）levels increased, and ash from the fire fell on far-off se
30、a ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation from the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, the land within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, because fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mirrored more sunlight back into space, leading to co
31、oling.“We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.” Scientists tracked the change in amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate system as a result of the fire, and found a measurement closely related to the global air temperature. Typic
32、ally, fire in northern regions occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, however, found that when fire occurs more frequently, more radiation is lost from the earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicated, 0.5 watts per s
33、quare meter of area burned are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square meter will be sent back into space. The net effect is cooling. Watts are used to measure the rate at which energy is gained or lost from the earth.56. According to the new findings, taking steps to
34、prevent northern forest fires may _. A. result in a warming climate B. cause the forest fires to occur more frequently C. lead to a longer fire season D. protect the forests and the environment there57. Earlier studies about northern forest fires _. A. analyze all aspects of how northern fires influ

The underlined phrase “soaked up” in the last paragraph most probably means _.A. releasedB. absorbed C.
36、 created D. disturbed59. From the text we can draw a conclusion that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia may _.A. warm the climate as the assumption goesB. allow more snow to reflect more sunlight into space and thus cool the climateC. destroy large areas of forests and pollute the far-off se
37、a iceD. help to gain more energy rather than release more energyBA chip inserted in a young quadriplegics (四肢麻痹患者) brain is already improving his quality of life. Soon the benefits may be more widespread. A 25-year-old man unable to move from the neck down recently did what many assumed impossible.
38、After a knife attack that had left him paralyzed, all he could move was his head, which he used to push a switch and call for a nurse. And he could turn his wheelchair by blowing into a straw near his face. That was it. Then last June, a Foxborough (Mass.) company called Cyber Kinetics opened the ma
39、ns skull and inserted a special chip no larger than a baby aspirin. That insert has given him a few additional and precious abilities. When connected to a special computer via a cable, the chip translates the young mans thoughts into commands that let him move a cursor across a PC screen and open e-
40、mail. He can draw a circle with a computer painting program. And he can use a robotic hook(钩) to perform simple tasks like picking up a candy and sliding it across a table.All he has to do is to think. Several new studies have begun or been completed in the past year. In fact, more than half of the
41、scientific papers in this field, called brain-to-computer interaction (BCI), have been published in the past two years, notes Jonathan Wolpaw, a research physician at Wadsworth Center, the New York State Health Dept.s research laboratory. Brain surgeries (手术) are no longer rare: Thousands of Parkins
42、ons disease patients have had special devices inserted in their brains to ease uncontrollable shaking and other symptoms. The inserts themselves have improved, so the body doesnt reject them as furiously(猛烈地). And significant development has been achieved in software used to interpret the brains sig
43、nals and change them into commands understood by computers. But increased demand for thought technology remains the biggest reason for the fields progress. Today, 4 million Americans live with paralysis according to the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation. Scientists hope that thought technology
44、will reduce the impact of such disabilities. People with spinal-cord injuries, for example, often lose their ability to walk because the communications network between their brain and their legs has been interrupted. The brain still commands the leg muscles to move, but they dont hear its orders. Th
45、ought technology, scientists hope, will bridge this communications gap. Our goal is for you to see paralyzed people eating at a restaurant and for you not to know that they are paralyzed, says John Donoghue, founder and chief scientific officer at Cyber Kinetics.60. What was the young mans trouble a
46、fter a knife attack? A. It was impossible for him to do anything.B. By no means could he call for a nurse.C. He could not use his organs under the neck.D. He was unable to move his head.61. What plays the most important role in improving the young mans quality of life?A. A chipB. A computer C. A rob
47、otic hookD.A company62. What can we learn from Paragraph Six?A. There used to be a lot of brain surgeries.B. There has been some progress in the field of thought technology.C. People with Parkinsons disease reject the use of the chip in their brains.D. No software has been developed to interpret the
48、 brains signals.63. What is the passage mainly about? A. Communications gap B. Thought technologyC. American quadriplegics D. Human brainsCSports is not only physically challenging, but it can also mentally challenging. Criticism（批评）from coaches(trainers), parents, and other teammates, as well as pr
49、essure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has showed that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of develo
50、pment are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents shoul
51、d be aware(realize), at all times, that their feedback（反馈）to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters many take their parents and coaches criticisms to heart and find a flaw（缺陷） in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious(careful) that youth sport participation does not
52、 become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In todays youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many pa
53、rents and coaches focus on(pay more attention to) the outcome and find fault with youngsters performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided in spite of the outcome. Research shows that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can
54、 create high levels of stress(pressure), which can lead to burnout.64. According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that .A. it can help them learn more about societyB. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselvesC. it enables them to find flaws in themselvesD. it can
55、provide them with valuable experiences65. According to the passage parents and coaches should .A. help children to win every gameB. pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportsC. enable children to understand the positive aspect of sportsD. train children to deal with stress66. The authors pu
56、rpose in writing the passage is .A. to persuade young children not to worry about criticismB. to emphasize the importance of positive reinforcement to childrenC. to discuss the skill of combing criticism with encouragementD. to teach young athletes how to avoid burnoutDMy fathers reaction to the ban
57、k building at 43rd Street and Fifth Avenue in New York city was immediate and definite: You wont catch me putting my money in there! he declared, Not in that glass box !Of course, my father is a gentleman of the old school, a member of the generation to whom a good deal of modern architecture is ups
58、etting, but I am convinced that his negative response was not so much to the architecture as to a violation of his concept of the nature of money .In his generation money was thought of as a real commodity (实物)that could be carried, or stolen. Consequently, to attract the custom of a sensible man, a
59、 bank had to have heavy walls, barred windows, and bronze（青铜） doors, to affirm the fact, however untrue, that money would be safe inside. If a buildings design made it appear impenetrable（难以渗透的）, the institution（公共机构, 协会, 制度）was necessarily reliable, and the meaning of the heavy wall as an architect
60、ure symbol dwelt in the prevailing attitude toward money.But the attitude toward money has, of course, changed. Excepting pocket money, cash of any kind is now rarely used; money as a tangible（切实，实在）commodity has largely been replaced by credit. A deficit (赤字) economy, accompanied by huge expansion,
61、 has led us to think of money as product of the creative imagination. The banker no longer offers us a safe: he offers us a service in which the most valuable element is the creativity for the invention of large numbers. It is in no way surprising, in view of this change in attitude, that we are wit
62、nessing the disappearance of the heavy-walled bank.Just as the older bank emphasized its strength, this bank by its architecture boasts of imaginative powers. From this point of view it is hard to say where architecture ends and human assertion (人们的说法)begins.67. The main idea of this passage is that
63、_ .Amoney is not as valuable as it was in the pastBchanges have taken place in both the appearance and the concept of banksCthe architectural style of the older bank is superior to that of the modern bankDprejudice makes the older generation think that the modern bank is unreliable来68. How do the ol
64、der generation and the younger one think about money?AThe former thinks more of money than the latter.BThe younger generation values money more than the older generation.CBoth generations rely on the imaginative power of bankers to make money.DTo the former money is a real commodity but to the latte
65、r be a means to produce more money.69. According to this passage, a modern banker should be _.Aambitious and friendly Breliable and powerfulCsensible and impenetrable Dimaginative and creative70. It can be inferred from the passage that the authors attitude towards the new trend in banking is _.Acau

But I think it is a pest (有害的事物) and a time waste. Very often you find it impossible to escape from it. If you ha
67、ve a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you least want it to ring; when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation or when you are just going out, or when you are in your bath. Are you strong-minded enough to ignore it? You are not. You think the
68、re may be some important news or message for you. I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. Have you ever rushed crippling from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number?But you will say, yo
69、u need not have your name printed in the telephone directory, and you can have a telephone which is only usable for outgoing calls. Besides, you will say, isnt it important to have a telephone in case of sudden emergencyillness, accident, or fire? Of course, you are right, but here in a thickly popu
70、lated country like England one is seldom far from a telephone in case of dreadful necessity.I think perhaps I had better try to justify (证明是有理的) myself by trying to prove that what I like is good. I admit that in different circumstancesif I were a wealthy and powerful businessperson, for instance, o
71、r badly ill and had to lie in bed, I might find a telephone a necessity. But then if I were a taxi-driver I should find a car as necessity. Let me put it another way: there are two things for which the English seem to show particular talent: one is mechanical invention, the other literature. My own
72、business happens to be with the use of words but I see I must now stop using them, for I have had just been handed a slip of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone. I think I had better answer it. After all, one never knows, it may be something important.Title: The (71
