16、满分40分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。 (A)The term “formal learning” refers to all learning which takes place in the classroom regardless of whether such learning is informed by conservative or progressive ideologies(思想意识). “Informal learning”, on the other hand, is used to refer to learning whi

17、ch takes place outside the classroom.These definitions(定义) provide the basic difference between the two models of learning. Formal learning is separated from daily life and may actually promote ways of learning and thinking which often run counter to those obtained form practical daily life. A chara

18、cteristic feature of formal learning is the centrality of activities which can prepare for the changes of adult life outside the classroom, but it cannot, by its nature, consist of these challenges. In doing this, language plays an important role as a major channel for information exchange. The lang

19、uage of the classroom is more similar to the language used by middle-class families than that used by working-class families. Middle class children thus find it easier to gain the language of the classroom than their working-class classmates.Informal learning, in contrast, occurs in the setting to w

20、hich it relates, making learning immediately relevant (相关的). In this context, language does not occupy such an important role: the childs experience of learning is more direct, involving sight, touch, taste, and smell senses that are not used in the classroom. Whereas formal learning is transmitted

21、by teachers selected to perform this role, informal learning is gained as a natural part of childs socialization. Adults or older children who are proficient (熟练的) in skill or activity provide - sometimes unintentionally (无意义地)-target models of behavior in the course of everyday activity.Informal le

22、arning, therefore, can take place at any time and place.The motivation of learner provides another important difference between the two models of learning. The formal learner is generally motivated by some kind of external goal such as parental approval, social status, and possible financial reward.

23、 The informal learner, however, tends to be motivated by successful completion of the task itself and the partial knowledge of adult status.Given that learning systems develop as a response to the social and economic contexts in which they are firmly, it is understandable that modern, high urbanized

24、 (城市化) societies have concentrated almost specially on the establishment of formal education systems. What these societies have failed to recognize are the ways in which formal learning inhibits the childs multi-sensory acquisition of practical skills. The failure to provide a child with a direct ed

25、ucation may in part account for many of the social problems which trouble our societies.36. Formal learning and informal learning are mainly told differences by_.A. the place where they take placeB. the kind of knowledge to be obtainedC. the people who learnD. the language used in instruction37. The

26、 language used in classroom instruction explains_.A. how learning can take place efficientlyB. why it is not easy for children of working-class families to get high scoresC. why informal learning is more importantD. why formal learning does not work with children of middle-class families38. In infor

27、mal learning_.A. children usually follow the examples of adults to shape their own behaviorB. childrens learning is more directC. children are highly motivated by the learning activity it selfD. all of the above39. The authors attitude towards the present state of formal learning is _. A. agreeable

28、B. criticalC. suspecting D. indifferent (B) Humanity uses a little less than half the water available world wide. Yet occurrence of shortages and droughts are causing famine and distress in some areas and industrial and agricultural by-products are polluting water supplies. Since the worlds populati

29、on is expected to double in the next 50 years, many experts think we are on the edge of a widespread water crisis. But that doesnt have to be the outcome. Water shortages do not have to trouble the world if we start valuing water more than we have in the past. Just as we began to appreciate petroleu

30、m more after the 1970s oil crises, today we must start looking at water from a fresh economic perspective. We can no longer afford to consider water a virtually free resource of which we can use as much as we like in any way we want. Instead, for all users except the domestic demand of the poor, gov

31、ernments should price water to reflect its actual value. This means charging a fee for the water itself as well as for the supply costs. Governments should also protect this resource by providing water in more economically and environmentally sound ways. For example, often the cheapest way to provid

32、e irrigation water in the dry tropics is through small-scale projects, such as gathering rainfall in depressions (凹地) and pumping it to nearby cropland. No matter what steps governments take to provide water efficiently, they must change their institutional and legal approaches to water use. Rather

33、than spread control among hundreds or even thousands of local, regional, and national agencies that watch various aspects of water use, countries should set up central authorities to coordinate water policy.40. What is the real cause of the potential water crisis? A. Only half of the worlds water ca

34、n be used. B. The world population is increasing faster and faster. C. Half of the worlds water resources have been seriously polluted.D. Humanity has not placed sufficient value on water resources.41. As indicated in the passage, the water problem _.A. is already serious in certain parts of the wor

A. build big lakes to store waterB. Construct big pumping stationsC. build small and cheap irrigation systemsD. channel water from nea

38、ional control of water resources （C）Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, Mom, I cant peel potatoes.

40、ughed, and I went home crying.That night I told Morn about it. She hugged me, and I saw her well see about that look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.Now, pull up with your fight arm, she advised. She stood by as I struggle

41、d to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung I reached. Id never forget the next time, crossing the rungs. I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.One night, after a dance

42、at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room. Mom, I said, weeping, none of the girls would dance with me.For a long time, I didnt hear anything. Then she said, Oh, honey, someday youll be beating those boys off with a bat. Her voice was faint and cracking. I peeke

48、hilds growth （D）The human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us adjust to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldnt know whats happening. But we pay for our sensitiv

49、ity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture(折磨) is based on the human body being open to pain.But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir(苦行僧) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle right through an arm, and f

50、eel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain.The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says, “This will hurt a little,” it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by

51、 treating the pain as an interesting sensation, we can handle the pain without failing apart.

In news about health, scientists in California report findings of a relationship between the drinking of coffee and the increase of heart disease among women. According to the report in the American

97、Medical Journal (magazine), the five-year study shows this: women who drink more than two cups of coffee a day have a greater chance of having heart disease than women who do not. In sports the Chargers lost again last night. The BBS beat them 1 to nothing. The Wingers had better results. They beat

98、the Rifles 7 to3. It was their first win in their last five matches. Thats the news on the Hour. And now back to more easy listening with Jan Singer.40.

102、ientist who lived over 200 years ago. He studied the observations of comets(彗星) which other scientists had made. The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.However, Halley had a

103、friend named Isaac Newton, who was a brilliant mathematician. Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse(椭圆形).Now Halley set to work. He figured out (解决，计算出) the

104、 orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607, and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearance had been 75 to 76 years apart.This seemed very strange to Halley. Three different comets fol

105、lowed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about it, the more his thought that there had been three different comets, as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back again.It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain

106、 enough to make a prediction(预言) of what would happen in the future. He decided that this would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halleys prediction could be tested.In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before. Ever since the

107、n that comet had been called Halleys comet, in his honour. 44. Edmund Halley figured out the orbit of _.A. some different comets appearing several timesB. the same comet appearing at different timesC. three different comets appearing three timesD. several comets appearing at the same time45.

Halley made his discovery by doing experiments.C. Isaac Newton was a famous mathematician.D. The orbit of a comet had the shape of an around. （D

110、）The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids. They have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet. There are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true

111、pyramids. The most famous of these are the “Step” pyramid and the “Bent” pyramid.Some of the pyramids still look as much alike as they must have been when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or,

112、more often, for stone to use in modern buildings. The dry climate of Egypt has helped to keep the pyramids in good condition, and their very shape has made them less likely to fall into ruin. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were pl

113、anned to last forever.The “Step” pyramid had to be on the west side of the Nile, the side on which the sun set. This was for spiritual reasons. It also had to stand well above the level of the river to protect it against the regular floods. It could not be too far from the Nile; however, as the ston

114、es to build it needed to be carried in boats down the river to the nearest point. Water transport was, of course, much easier than land transport. The builders also had to find a rock base, which was not likely to crack under the great weight of the pyramid. Finally, it had to be near the capital, o

115、r better still, near the kings palace so that he could visit it easily to personally check the progress being made on the final resting place for his body.49. According to the passage, the “Step” pyramid _.A. is unlikely to fall into ruin in the near future B. was built on the sands along the Nile C

116、. is one that was built later than the true pyramids D. is the most famous of the true pyramids50. The most important reason why some pyramids remain in good condition is that _. A. people have taken care of them B. it doesnt rain often in Egypt C. they were well designed D. the government has prote

117、cted them from damage51. Most of the damage to the pyramids has been caused by _. A. the regular floods B. the dry climate of Egypt C. people searching for gold D. people in search of building materials52. The Egyptians built the pyramids along the banks of the Nile because _. A. they believed in th

118、eir god B. it was difficult to find a large rock base far from the Nile C. the river helped a lot in the transport of building materialsD. it was not easy to choose a suitable place for the pyramids （E）A sixth of undergraduates in Beijing this year have registered at driving school. The students, mo

119、stly from majors such as business management or international trade, will finish their driving courses within 20 days or so.Training cost has dropped to 2,600 yuan for students, according to the Haidian Driving School in Beijing. The price is not really low, but students will accept it, seeing it as

120、 an investment in their future. Familiarity with the operation of computers and fluent English are the basic skills graduating students need to find a job. But a drivers permit has become another factor.“In the job market, owning a drivers permit sometimes strengthens a graduating students competiti

121、veness for a good position,” says Zhou Yang, an undergraduate at China University of Political Science and Law.Cars will become a necessary part of many peoples lives in the coming years, and it is difficult to get a permit of campus because of the pressures on working people s time. “Having a fullt

122、ime job after graduation offers limited time to learn to drive. We senior students have plenty of spare time, plenty of opportunities to learn,” Zhou says.Xu Jian, an official at the driving school, said undergraduates were very able and serious, and could grasp in an hour what ordinary people took

123、four hours to learn. In this driving school, mid-aged people, young women and college students are the main customers.To get a drivers permit, a beginner is now required to have at least 86 hours practice before the final road test. 53. The undergraduates are learning to drive because _. A. they nee

147、 where dreams come true. And the building that will hold those dreams is to be based on a nest-like design, planned jointly by Swiss and Chinese architects. The plan is for the main Olympic stadiumthe National Stadium. Nest-like walls surrounding the stadium like a steel net proved to be a popular d

148、esign. It won more than half the votes 6, 000 visitors to an exhibition of 13 possible designs, which ended on March 31. Before the exhibition, the leading plan had been chosen as one of three top designs from 13 possible plans. The official announcements for the final winning design will be made so

149、metime this month. Guan Zhaoye, chairman of the group of official judges, said: “The top design is a perfect meeting of elegance and simplicity.” The stand is a bowl-shape running circle. “Peoples attending can focus on the competitive events instead of the stadium itself,” said Li Singgang, one of

150、the architects. “The excited crowds will become part of the building itself and they will stimulate the athletes.” Many visitors said that the model is unusual, practical and mixes modern architecture with traditional Chinese culture. “I think it shows the idea of a nest where new life grows up. It

151、is a really good idea, said one visitor. But others disagreed and were unhappy about the building looking like a birdcage. The 80,000-seat stadium, to be built in north Beijing, will host the opening and closing ceremonies as well as track and field events during the 2008 Olympics. Construction work

152、 is set to start at the end of this year.36. According to the article which other country help plan and design the model for the 2008 Olympic stadium?A. British. B. Scandinavia. C. Swiss. D. Germany.37. In the 5th paragraph they say that the design is a perfect meeting of elegance and simplicity, wh

153、at do they mean? A. It is short and sweet. B. It is simple and beautiful. C. It has class but no style. D. Gracefulness and straight forward.38. What events will the National Stadium host during the 2008 Olympics? A. Athletics. B. Swimming. C. Football. D. Basketball.39. The design of the Olympic St

154、adium is like a nest, you know, and what kind of animal could live in a nest!A. Dog. B. Cat.C. Parrot. D. Bird.40. What did most people think of the Olympic model? A. It was the worst thing they had ever seen. B. The two people have come up with a plan that better than the others. C. Its a cross bet

155、ween modern architecture and traditional Chinese culture. D. It mixes modern and Chinese art and is practical. （B）Whatever our differences as human beings are we all think were more like the rest of the animal world than we realize. It is said that we share 40 per cent of our genetic(遗传的) structure

156、with the simple worm.But that fact has helped Sir John Sulston win the 2004 Nobel Prize for Medicine. Sir John is the founder of the Sanger Institute in Cambridge, which was set up in 1992 to get further understanding of the human genome.To help them do this, they turned to the worm. The nematode wo

157、rm is one of the earliest creatures on planet earth. It is less than one millimeter long, completely transparent and spends its entire life digging holes through sand. But it still has lots to say about human life, and what can be done to make it better.What the worm told Sir John and his colleagues

158、 was that each of the cells in the human body is programmed like a computer. They grow, develop and die according to a set of instructions that are coded in our genetic make-up.Many of the diseases that humans suffer from happen when these instructions go wrong or are not obeyed. When the cell refus

159、es to die but carries on growing instead, this leads to cancer. Heart attacks and diseases like AIDS cause more cell deaths than normal, increasing the damage they do to the body. Sir John was the first scientist to prove the existence of programmed cell death.41. Sir John Sulston got a Nobel Prize

160、for Medicine because he has _. A. found that human beings are similar to the worm B. got the fact we share 40 per cent of our genetic structure with the simple worm C. found the computer which controls each of the cells in the human body D. proved that cell death is programmed42. People might be ser

161、iously ill if the cells in their body _. A. grow without being instructed B. die regularly C. fail to follow peoples instructionsD. develop in the human body43. The underlined word “they” (paragraph5) refers to _. A. cell deaths B. diseasesC. instructions D. cells44. What is the subject discussed in

162、 the text? A. The theory of programmed cell deaths. B. A great scientist-Sir John Sulston. C. The programmed human life. D. Dangerous diseases. (C)Why is it so difficult to fall asleep when you are overtired? There is no one answer that applies to every individual. But many people fail to note the d

163、ifference between tiredness, physical tiredness and sleepiness, the inability to stay awake. Its possible to feel “tired” physically and still be unable to fall asleep, because while your body may be exhausted, you dont feel sleepy. To fall asleep, you need enough time to relax, even if you feel tir

164、ed. Its not so easy to simply “turn off”.According to Carl E. Hunt, director of the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research in Bethesda, Maryland, most people do not allow themselves plenty of time to relax.Lack of sleep complicates(变复杂) matters even more. Experts say adults need at least 7 to 8

165、 hours of sleep a night to function properly. When you get less sleep than that on continuous nights, you begin to get “sleep debt”. As sleep debt increases, your body experiences a stress response and begins to release adrenaline. Now a terrible cycle has been created: You experience the feeling of

166、 being more and more tired, but your body is increasingly stimulated. “Power sleeping” for more hours on weekends is only a temporary solution. “There is no substitute for getting a good nights sleep on a regular basis,” says Hunt.Most of us, however, dont get the sleep we need. According to the 200

167、2 National Sleep Foundation, Americans sleep an average of 6.9 hours per night during the week, and 58 percent of adults experience symptoms of insomnia(失眠) a few nights a week or more.45. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The reason for sleeplessness. B. More Americans lack sleep. C. How

168、to get a good sleep. D.Overtiredness leads to sleeplessness.46. Which statement is true according to the passage? A. The more tired you are, the better sleep you should get. B. Before you go to bed, youd better do something unexciting. C. Sleep overtime on weekends is a good way to pay off “sleep de

169、bt”. D. Drinking some hot milk can make you sleepy.47. Whats the meaning of the underlined word “adrenaline” in Paragraph 3? It means _. A. tiredness B. illness C. ache D. excitement48. From the passage, we can infer _. A. tiredness and sleepiness are different B. 58 percent of American adults dont

170、have good sleep a few nights a week or more C. most of the American adults know before falling asleep, they have to relax themselves D. only less than half the adults in America get good nights sleep (D)The desire to make explorations is born with man. Wherever his imagination goes, man also has a s

171、trong wish to go. A large part of human history is connected with the exploration of the world in which we live. Again and again people have set out with surprising courage and patience to look into unknown regions and lands to see what had not yet been seen, to make known the unknown. With kites, b

172、alloons and aircraft they left the ground to pass through the lower atmosphere. Now the outer space receives their attention.Why should man take the trouble of conquering space? It is hard to list the specific practical benefits that will result. But one knows, from past experience in other areas, t

173、hat man will surely see and discover new things in space that will increase our scientific knowledge, and this new knowledge will find its way into valuable practical uses. What we learn about man himself, from his experience in space, and from the effects of space and the space flight environment o

174、n him, will be extremely valuable. The new techniques developed to carry out the exploration of space, and to keep man alive in space, will certainly find practical uses in everyday life in some way. The areas that will benefit are manifold. They include communication, generation of power, transport

175、ation and travel, food production, materials, fuels and many others. But to say definitely just what the practical results will be is almost impossible.49. The main idea of the first paragraph is that_. A. man desires to explore what is unknown B. man often goes wherever his dreams go C. man is no l

176、onger interested in the study of the land and sea now D. mans history is his exploration of the world50. The word “manifold” in the second paragraph probably means _. A. vast B. various C. valuable D. practical51. The author seems to be in favor of _. A. doubting the necessity of the space explorati

177、on B. the exploration of space C. exploring more in space than in sea D. his experience in space52. In the last sentence of paragraph 2 the phrase “the practical results” refers to the results _. A. that are obtained from experience B. that can be learned as knowledge C. that can be made use of D. h

178、elping us make further exploration (E)A good hearing memory will help your child do better in school. Your childs hearing ability normal. Yet, he may seem to be very poor at remembering and understanding what hes heard school.Why should this be? Its because hes not using his hearing ability to help

179、him remember and understand what hes been taught.Some children get into the habit of learning and remembering things by what they hear. Theyve got good hearing memories. Other children find it easier to learn and remember things by what they see. Theyve got good seeing memories. Some children have e

180、qually good ability at both seeing and hearing in learning things. Others, less fortunate, seem to have poor hearing and seeing memories. Most children, Id say, unknowingly prefer one method over the other for learning and remembering.But this favoring of one sense over the other is a bad habit and

181、deprives (使不能) the child of the full use of his natural senses. Mrs. Alien was clearly incredulous when I told her there was nothing wrong with her sons hearing. “But he never seems to really understand what he hears, thats what his teachers tell me,” she said.“My psychological examination of Willia

182、m shows hes weak in his hearing memory,” I said, “but he has perfectly normal intelligence and can learn in school.”“Our family doctor examined William and he says the boys hearing was all right. So, that proves youre right on that point,” admitted Mrs. Alien. “So how can we help him? My husband and

183、 I will do anything you say, Dr. Dursteln.”“You can do a lot to improve Williams hearing memory, but itll take time. You must be patient and not expect results immediately,” I cautioned.I suggested a detailed program for the parents to use at home. I told Mrs. Alien to come back and see me every two

184、 weeks so that I could guide her in any problem she had in using my program.53. The author suggested that Mrs. Alien try some ways _. A. to train her sons hearing memory B. to make use of her sons natural senses C. to make good use of what her son heard D. to understand the trouble in which her son

185、was involved54. In paragraph 4, the underlined word “incredulous” means _. A. unbelieving B. believable C. believingD. incredibly55. Which of the following is true? A. Good hearing memory will not help your child do better in school. B. Some children get into the habit of learning and remembering th

186、ings by what they hear C. The favoring of one sense over the other is not a bad habit. D. The author didnt suggest a detailed program for the parents to use at home with William.IV短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。对标有题号的每一行作出判断：如无错误，在该行右边横线上画一个勾（）；如有错误（每行只有一个错误），则按下列情况改正：该行多一个词：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉，在该行右

210、 and for maintenance of health. Elsewhere the problem may be not one of insufficient calories but of lack of specific nutrients essential for health.In Latin America, as in other places, the dreaded protein deficiency disease kwashiorkor (红孩病) is taking as heavy toll of childrens lives. Strategic vi

211、tamins and minerals may be lacing due to traditional diets which are nutritionally unbalanced. Here people continue their eating pattern year after year without knowledge of what their dietary habits are doing to themselves and to future generations.With a basic knowledge of nutritional needs and de

212、ficiencies, efforts could be directed to finding food substitutes which could meet these needs. Mixtures of vegetable proteins, like soybeans and peanuts, could provide an abundance of cheap, useful protein where meat, eggs, and milk are not within economic reach of large groups in the population. E

213、fforts could also be expended on increasing the agricultural productivity in specific regions; where large areas are given over to relatively inefficient use as grazing land, the intensive production of vegetable protein crops could bring remedial nutrition to an undernourished population. Elsewhere

214、, enrichment with specific vitamins and minerals of traditional staple foods that are deficient in essential nutritive factors could wipe out disabling deficiency diseases most overnight. Similarly, addition of minute amounts of inexpensive iodine (碘) to salt benefit large areas where endemic goiter

But his teammate, Shaquille ONeal, was troubled by injures earlier this season and Kobe admits that he now has great responsibilities.Byrant scored 41 points last Monday whe

219、n Lakers defeated Seattle SuperSonics 106: 101. This was his ninth-straight game in which he reached 40 points. An achievement equaled by Jordan.His admirable achievement has saved the three-time defending champion Lakers. The team is now back in the play-off contest. Byrant also won the “Player of

220、the Week” title in the Western Conference for his good performance from February 1723.“Kobe becomes a model of what a young should aim to be. Year by year he learned and improved his game, and now hes an accomplished NBA player,” said Larry Brown, the head coach of Philadelphia 76ers.Byrants is the

221、kind of athlete who had his path to stardom planned for a long time.The son of famed NBA star Joe, Byrant was given a basketball as soon as he was able to stand up. With the power to dunk, shoot and dribble in his genes, he proved to be an all-around player on the high school courts.At that time, yo

222、ung Kobe learned what he would have to give up and what he was to focus on. “I have to go to practice every day, its tiring. I have no time to go out with my friends or play video games. But I always want to be the best. Pressure and challenges are all an opportunity for me to rise.”Instead of going

223、 to college, he chose to turn professional and in 1996, he became the youngest player ever in the NBA. “Sometimes I do wonder what college would have been like. But I made my decision,” he said.A storm of controversy surrounded his decision because NBA players are normally selected from college. But

224、 Bryants parents gave him full support. They believed Kobe was a well-balanced man and could stay focused on what is important.Bryand didnt disappoint them. He set a new record at the 1997 Rockie Game with 31 points and 8 rebounds. His diligence and talent took him to NBA where he could write histor

234、pays to Enrich your Word Power” first when the Digest comes each month. I am impressed with that idea, word power.

241、al development has a great number of examples.In 1870, horses and mules were the prime source of power on U.S. farms. One horse or mule was required to support four human beings-a ratio(比率) that remained almost constant for many decades. At that time, had a national commission been asked to forecast

242、 the population for 1970, its answer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic or technological turn of mind. Had they been “economists”, they would probably have projected the 1970 horse or mule population to be more than 50 million. Had they been “technologists”,

243、they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been harnessed (利用) to industry and to land and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that it would be the prime source of power on the farm. It would have been difficult for them to avoid the conclusion that the horse and

244、mule population would decline rapidly.53. It can be inferred from the passage that by 1870 _. A. technology began to be more economical B. the steam engine had been invented C. the U.S. horse population was about 10 million D. a national commission on agriculture had been established54.

269、 fiction aspects of nanotech(纳米技术). Reports of nanotech often refer to K. Eric Drexlers book Engines of Creations, which predicts an age full of dominant molecular(分子的) manufacturing and a world without material scarcity. Whatever humans need will one day be built cheaply with microscopic self-repli

270、cating machines (微细自我复制机) that put atoms together to create copies of anything alive in the world from trees to human bodies. In fact, the scientific community is deeply divided over whether self replicating machines are possible. If they are, major dangers could exist. Mr. Drexler himself thought t

271、hat selfreplicating machines could probably go out of control. He writes in his book that man made plants with leaves no more efficient than todays solar cells could win over real plants, crowding the earth with leaves that are not suitable to be eaten. Tough bacteria could be more competitive than

272、the real bacteria: They could spread everywhere, replicate swiftly, and reduce the earth to dust in a matter of days. Critics of nanotech have made use of such images, calling for a delay on commercial nanotech until regulations are established. They also point to the possible military uses of nanot

273、ech. Bill Joy, the cofounder of Sun Microsystems, wrote in a wired magazine essay in 2000 that if nanotech falls into the wrong hands, it could bring dangers to society. Opponents say Mr. Joy is overreacting. “In a way, calling for bans on research into molecular manufacturing is like calling for a

Professor Reynolds says it is a good idea to regulate nanotech, but in ways the government would regulate any products that could be dangerous. Export controls and certificatio

279、ech regulations should be established in spite of the divided opinions.D. The media should not take advantage of the science fiction aspects of nanotech. (B)Following two major air crashes which killed 234 people, Chinas aviation regulators (管理者) on Monday banned late night domestic flights and orde

280、red an inspection of all pilots and aircraft. The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) held an emergency meeting of airline executives on Saturday to learn lessons from both crashes. The cause of the May 7th China Northern Airlines crash near Dalian, the second fatal accident to hit Chinese

281、 airlines in less than a month, remains under investigation. So does an April 15th accident in which an Air China Boeing 767 plunged into a fog surrounded mountain near Pusan, South Korea, killing 129 people. “We have ordered an immediate and through safety check to rectify (纠正) any problems.” CAAC

282、said.CAAC enacted nine new air safety measures, including banning “red-eye” flights, which typically take off after 10 p.m. in China. It also asked carriers to limit the addition of new flights to maintain safety standards. The regulations promised to enforce security checks at all airports and levy

283、 (征收) administrative or criminal penalties against anyone found responsible for future accidents. The China Northern Airlines Mc Donnell-Douglas MD-82 jet crashed into the sea about 10 km off the Chinese city of Dalian last Tuesday after the pilot reported a fire in the cabin. All 112 passengers and

According to the last paragraph, we can conclude_.A. the quality of the planes doesnt meet international standards.B. the management of CAAC is poorC. the security checks are not well doneD. the pilots are not skilled (C) The term food recovery refers to the collection, or recovery, of heal

287、thy food from farmers fields, retail stores, or foodservice establishments for distribution to the poor and hungry. Food recovery programs operate across the United States and target many different levels of the food marketing system. A few are large operations with offices in many States, but most

288、are small local programs that depend largely on the efforts of volunteers from the surrounding community. Once surplus food has been recovered or prevented from going to waste, volunteers pick up and deliver the food to groups that serve the needy, either directly through neighborhood charitable org

289、anizations, such as food chambers and soup kitchens, or indirectly through food banks. In addition to providing additional quantities of food to hungry people, food recovery efforts can also provide food banks with the ability to offer clients more variety and nutrients (营养) in their diets by adding

290、 fiber-rich fresh fruits and vegetables and grain products to the typical offerings of indefectible canned and boxed goods. Food recovery also has benefits that extend beyond pro riding food to the needy. For example, the additional food supplied by recovery programs allows agencies that serve the d

291、isadvantaged to reallocate money to other needed services, money that they would have otherwise spent on food. These efforts also provide clean fields and tax savings for farmers who donate (损赠) unharvested crops and reduce waste-removal fees for supermarkets and foodservice establishments. Food rec

292、overy, however, is not without cost. Recovery operations face a number of logistical (后勤的) and financial obstacles in the course of turning lost food into food suitable for consumption. At times, these obstacles are quite powerful. They include locating food donors and making them aware of organizat

293、ions that channel donated food to the needy; obtaining financial resources for transporting, storing, and packaging donated foods; securing labor, whether paid or volunteer; and training those workers in safe food handling and preparation methods.43. Food recovery programs mainly aim at_.A. collecti

294、ng money from donors to deal with the food waste problemB. collecting money from donors to provide food needy to theC. collecting money and healthy food to provide food to the needy.D. collecting money and healthy food for charitable organizations44. In addition to providing food to the needy, food

295、recovery programs also_.A. distribute money directly to the needyB. help farmers improve their productivityC. are involved in other charitable servicesD. help some agencies reduce food waste45. Which of the following is NOT the cost of food recovery mentioned in the passage?A. Publication for food r

296、ecovery courses.B. Collecting money for recovery courses.C. Enrolling volunteers for recovery courses.D. Encountering some obstacles from the government.46. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Food recovery programs are mainly involved in charitable services.B. Food recov

297、ery programs are involved in promoting nutritional balance.C. All staff of food recovery programs are volunteers without pay.D. Many supermarkets and farmers are involved in food recovery programs. (D) Cancer specialists in Europe and North America are using the Internet to spread knowledge of the l

298、atest treatments in the hope that more lives can be saved from the killer disease.The European Cancer Institute, a privately-funded body in Milan, recently uncovered a database with its own site on the worldwide computer network which can help doctors in treating cancer. Known as START, the on-line

299、pool of information drawn from 170 leading cancer specialists throughout Europe will be available free of charge from the end of the year on.The START idea draws its inspiration from a highly successful US computer database called PDQ which has been in use for more than ten years. PDQ, which is brou

300、ght up to date every month by a selected group of cancer specialists, has a vast range of information on treatment, screening, prevention, supportive care and drugs which have either been approved or are under investigation. It goes a step further than START by trying to help patients as well as the

301、 doctors that treat them. Most of the information is presented in two versions in technical language for specialists and in simplified form for patients. Its principal goal is to spread knowledge.PDQ experts invite their European colleagues to join their monthly sessions to make the database up-to-d

302、ate. They also plan to start offering multimedia (多媒体)presentation later this year. One of the main aims of database services is to give doctors, who are often confused by the enormous volume of new medical research, the opportunity to keep up with latest cancer treatments. Besides, it is believed t

303、hat giving cancer stricken patients access to the best available treatments could reduce death rates by up to ten percent.47. The passage is mainly about_.A. a successful computer database run by the USB. a new way of spreading knowledge on cancerC. a new way of restricting cancer developmentD. a ne

304、w association of cancer specialists48. The European Cancer Institute_.A. is sponsored by individualsB. is supported by the governments of European countriesC. was established by the government of ItalyD. is one of the branch organizations of the UN 49. Which of the following is true?A. The START ide

305、a has derived from that of PDQ.B. Both the databases provide information on treatment rather than on prevention.C. PDQ draws its information on cancer from specialists all over the world.D. The START information is gathered from all cancer specialists in Europe.50. It can be inferred from the passag

306、e that _.A. ten percent of patients all over the world will be saved thanks to the two databasesB. doctors have to learn all their lives so as not to be left behind their fieldC. doctors are always confused by the great volume of new medical researchD. PDQ has been presenting its idea on line for mo

307、re than ten years through multimedia (E) Material culture refers to the touchable, material things -physical objects that can be seen, held, felt, used-that a culture produces. Examining a cultures tools and technology can tell us about the groups history and way of life. Similarly, research into th

308、e material culture of music can help us to understand the music-culture. The most vivid body of “things” in it, of course, is musical instrument. We cannot hear for ourselves the actual sound of any musical performance before the 1870s when the phonograph (留声机) was invented so we rely on instruments

309、 for important information about music-cultures in the remote past arid their development. Here we have two kinds of evidence: instruments, as well as paintings, written documents, and so on, we can explore the movement of music from the Near East to China over a thousand years ago, or we can outlin

310、e the spread of New Eastern influence to Europe that resulted in the development of most of the instruments in the symphony orchestra. Sheet music or printed music, too, is material culture. Scholars once defined folk music-cultures as those in which people learn and sing music by ear rather than fr

311、om print, but research shows mutual influence among oral and written sources during the past few centuries in Europe, Britain, and America. Printed versions limit variety because they tend to standardize any song, yet they stimulate people to create new and different songs. Besides, the ability to r

312、ead music notation (乐谱) has a far-reaching effect on musicians and, when it becomes widespread, on the music-culture as a whole. One more important part of musics material culture should he singled out: the influence of the electronic mediaradio, record player tape recorder, television, and video ca

This is all part of the information revolution, a twentieth-century phenomenon as important as the industrial revolution was in the nineteenth, these electronic media are not just, limited to modern nations, they

314、 have affected music-cultures all aver the globe.51. Research into the material culture of a nation is of great importance because_.A. it helps produce new cultural tools and technology.B. it can reflect the development of the nation C. it helps understand the nations past and present D. it can demo

315、nstrate the nations civilization52. It can be learned from the passage that_. A. the existence of the symphony was attributed the spread of Near Eastern and Chinese music B. near Eastern music had an influence on the development of the instruments in the symphony orchestra C. the development of the

316、symphony shows the mutual influence of eastern and Western music D. the musical instruments in the symphony 0rchestra were developed on the basis of Near Eastern music53.

A. has brought about an information revolution B. has spread up the advent of a new generation computers C. has given rise to new forms of music culture D. has led to the transformation of traditional musical instruments55. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of th

Gerald had now for some time been hoping to find an inn in which to spend the night. Bl

341、ack clouds were gathering over the sky. Gerald began to run. But it was too late. Down came the rain. He could hardly see now, for the rain seemed to have put out the sun, already almost gone. Gerald walked on through the darkness and rain in an unknown country. “Fool, to leave Margaret,” said he.Th

342、e darkness grew thicker. He was entering a forest. Great branches lay across the narrow road, and he felt his way through what seemed to be an endless dark cave with a rough floor on which he fell again and again.At last, in the center of the forest he found a house with light, and loud voices insid

343、e it. He went to the door, opened it slowly and put his head in. He drew his head back quickly, as if something had hit him in the face; and he stepped back into the rain and darkness.He had looked into a large but low room, in the center of which was a great round fireplace. Around this fireplace c

344、lothes were hanging up to dry; some were hanging on ropes, and some were hanging on the persons to whom they belongedfarm laborers. These clothes, carrying in them the rain of but one day, but the dirt of a whole lifetime, gave out a terrible smell in thick clouds.Gerald was like most poets and work

345、ers in the fine arts; his eyes saw more than other eyes did; and his nose smelt more than other noses! But the rain poured down on him, and the light of the fire looked very pleasant. He could not force his way in all at once through the thick air, but he returned to it again and again as a bird cir

346、cling round a light. At last he discovered that the various smells did not entirely mix. Smell of family was strongest in the two corners; boiled farm laborers held the center; and food was a ruler among the noisy company by the window. This last was the smallest as well as least powerful smell.36.

347、This passage mainly tells_.A. Gerald s unusual experience in the dark forest on a rainy nightB. Gerald s meeting with Margaret in the dark forestC. Gerald s trouble in the forestD. Gerald s seeking for a star in the forest37. What can you suggest from the passage?A. Gerald is an artist rather than a

Smell of the food. B. Smell of the family.C. The noisy company. D. Boiled farm laborers. (B) There are 25 000 kinds of be

350、es identified (确认) in the world. The most well-known are the honey bee. In the United States there are known 3500 species. Most bees do not live in large groups, they are solitary (独居的) bees. The honey bee is not a native of the United States. The first bees were brought to the U. S. from Holland. L

351、ater other bees were brought from many other countries. South America had some honey bees, but they did not produce much honey. When honey bees were brought to the United States, native Americans called them white mans flies. Soon bees became a known sight in America. In Brazil, honey bees did not s

352、urvive well and scientists brought African bees to Brazil. These bees were found to be very aggressive (好斗的) and mistakenly escaped into the wild. These bees are very common in Brazil now. Beekeepers raise bees for honey, but more often they raise them to pollinate crops. Pollination occurs when the

353、 bee lands on a flower and some of the pollen (花粉) gets stuck to the bees hairy legs. The next time the bee lands, some of the pollen falls off her legs and onto another flower, allowing it to reproduce. Beekeepers have been raising bees for their honey for thousands of years. The first beekeepers k

354、ept their bees in hollow logs or clay pots. Now they keep the bees in wooden hives. When beekeepers raise bees for honey, they must remove part of the hive to retrieve (获取) the honey. They must calm the bees by using a special smoker. The smoke is puffed out around the bees and the bees move slower

355、and are not as aggressive.40. Whats the best title for the passage?A. An Introduction to BeesB. Why Bees Are KeptC. The Great Use of BeesD. Bees in the USA41. Whats the meaning of the underlined word “pollinate”? A. Make something fertile(结果实的)with pollen.B. Get pollen away from.C. Plant.D. Harm.42.

362、ch and the info poor. And that divide does exist today: My wife and I lectured about this looming danger twenty years ago. What was less visible then, however were the new, positive forces that work against the digital divide. These are reasons to be optimistic. There are technological reasons to ho

363、pe the digital divide will narrow. As the Internet becomes more and more commercialized, it is in the internet of business to universalize accessafter all, the more people online, the more potential customers there are. More and more governments, afraid their countries will be left behind, want to s

364、pread Internet access. Within the next decade or two, one to two billion people on the planet will be netted together. As a result, I now believe the digital divide will narrow rather than widen in the years ahead, and that is very good news because the Internet may be more powerful tool for combati

365、ng world poverty that weve ever had. Of course, the use of the Internet isnt the only way to defeat poverty. And the Internet is not the only tool we have. But it has great potential (潜力). To take advantage of this tool, some-impoverished countries will have to get over their outdated anti-colonial

366、prejudices (偏见) with respect to foreign investment (投资). Countries that still think foreign investment is an invasion their sovereignty (主权) might well study the history of infrastructure (the basic structural foundations of a society) in the United States. When the United States built its industria

367、l infrastructure, it didnt have the capital to do so. And that is why Americas Second Wave infrastructureincluding roads, harbors, highways, ports and so on-were built with foreign investment. The English, the Germans, the Dutch French were investing in Britains former colony. They finished them. Im

368、migrant Americans built them. Guess who owns them now? The Americans. I believe the same thing would be true in places like Brazil or anywhere else for that matter The more foreign capital you have helping you build your Third Wave infrastructure, which today is an electronic infrastructure, the bet

It is taking place primarily in political circles. Here at the College Fund. We have a 1ot of contact with top corporate

374、(公司的) leaders; none of them is talking about getting rid of those instruments that produce diversity. In fact, they say that if their companies are to compete in the global village and in the global market place, diversity is an imperative. They also say that the need for talented, skilled Americans

375、 means we have to expand the pool of potential (潜在的) employees. And in looking at where birth rates are growing and at where the population is shifting, corporate America understands that expanding the pool means promoting policies that help provide skills to more minorities, more women and more imm

376、igrants. Corporate leaders know that if that doesnt occur in our society, they will not have the engineers, the scientists, the lawyers, or the business managers hey will need.Likewise, I dont hear people in the academy saying. “Lets go backward.

397、a language has long been a puzzle to linguists(语言家). 16 speaking, there are two schools of linguists, both of whom try to explain 17 a child picks up a language so easily. The fact that a child picks a language 18 is 19: at one year old, a child is able to say “bye-bye”; at two, he is able to use fi

398、fty words; by three he begins to 20 tenses. The famous American linguist Noam Chomsky 21 that human beings have a sort of built-in system for language use, and that the 22 is 23 . Children are not taught language 24 they are taught arithmetic. Other linguists, 25 , hold the view that a child learns

399、26 of his language from the hints in the environment. 27 , theorists of both schools 28 that there is biological basis for language and language use. The 29 is which is more important, the inner ability or the environment. This is certainly a field 30 to be explored. Researchers from both schools ar

In fact the fear of growing old is so great that every aged person is an insult and a

405、threat to the society. They remind us of our own death, that our body wont always remain smooth and responsive, but will someday betray us by aging. The ideal way to age would be to grow slowly invisible, gradually disappearing, without causing worry or discomfort to the young. In some ways that doe

406、s happen. Sitting in a small park across from a nursing home one day, I noticed that the young mothers and their children gathered on one side and the old people from the home on the other. Whenever a youngster would run over to the wrong side, chasing a ball or just trying to cover all the availabl

407、e space, the old people would lean forward and smile. But before any communication could be established, the mother would come over, murmuring embarrassed apologies, and take her child back to the young side. Now, it seemed to me that the children didnt feel any particular fear and the old people di

408、dnt seem to be threatened by the children. The division of space was drawn by the mothers. And the mothers never looked at the old people who lined the other side of the park. These well-dressed young women had a way of sliding their eyes over, around, through the old people; they never looked at th

409、em directly. The old people may as well have been invisible; they offend the aesthetic eye of the mothers. My early experiences were somewhat different; since I grew up in a small town, my childhood had more of a nineteenth-century flavor. I knew a lot of old people, and considered some of them frie

410、nds.36. In the authors opinion, it is a perfect way to A. grow old slowly and then die unnoticed B. grow old suddenly and then die C. shut oneself up from others when growing old D. remain young all ones life and then die suddenly37. It can be inferred that young mothers would try to keep their chil

411、dren away from the old because _.A. they feared their children might hurt the oldB. they didnt like their children to take up the space belonging to the 01dC. they felt it was wrong to play bails near where the old stayedD. they didnt want their children to have anything to do with the old38. The au

412、thor believes the division between the old and the young is_.A. made by people B. understandableC. formed naturally D. traditional39. From the passage, we learn that the author _. A. used to have the same experience as the young have todayB. has never been afraid of getting oldC. was quite free to k

413、now and befriend old people in his childhoodD. both B and C(B) High tech and state of the art are two expressions that describe very modern technology. High tech is just a shorter of saying high technology. And high technology describes any invention, system or device that uses the newest ideas or d

414、iscoveries of science and engineering. What is high tech? A computer is high tech. So is a communications satellite. A modern manufacturing system is surely high tech. High tech became a popular expression in the United States during the early 1980s. Because of improvements in technology, people cou

415、ld buy many new kinds of products in American stores, such as home computers, microwave ovens, etc. State of the art is something that is as modern as possible. It is a product that is based on the very latest methods and technology. Something that is state of the art is the newest possible design o

416、r product of a business or industry. A state of the art television set, for example, uses the most modern electronic design and parts. It is the best that one can buy. State of the art is not a new expression. Engineers have used it for years, to describe the best and most modern way of doing someth

417、ing. Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970s. The reason was the computer revolution. Every computer company claimed that its computers were state of the art. Computer technology changed so fast that a state of the art computer today might be old tomorrow. The expression

418、state of the art became as common and popular as computers themselves. Now all kinds of products are said to be state of the art.40. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To tell how high tech and state of the art have developed.B. To give examples of high tech.C. To tell what high tech and state of

419、 the art are.D. To describe very modern technology.41. What can we infer from the passage?A. American stores could provide new kinds of products to the people.B. High tech describes a technology that is not traditional.C. State of the art is not as popular as high tech.D. A wooden plough pulled by o

420、xen is state of the art.42. All the following examples are high tech EXCEPT_.A. a microwave oven B. a home computerC. a hand pump D. a satellite43. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Since the computer revolution, the expression state of the art has become popular.B. State of the art m

421、eans something that is the best one can buy.C. With the rapid development of computer technology, a state of the art computer may easily become out of date.D. All kinds of products are state of the art nowadays.44. The best title for the passage is_.A. Computer Technology B. High Tech and State of t

422、he ArtC. Most Advanced Technology D. Two New Expressions (C) The best advice young men and women can hear these days is not Get Rich. Its Go West. Those who hope to make their fortunes or, at the very least, find good jobs or life long careers have a better chance of doing so in Chinas western provi

423、nces than in the increasingly crowded eastern cities. Along the eastern coast, cities are filled with newcomers looking for work. They seek anything from the lowest-level unskilled jobs to the instant-millionaire Internet chance of lifetime. Few have found the latter, and few ever will. Some 160 yea

424、rs ago, young men and women streamed into New York, Philadelphia, Boston-the United States equivalent (对等物) of Chinas Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing. All of these young people were searching for work, for riches, for fame. Few found any of that. The rest joined the masses working hard at low-level

425、jobs trying to support themselves and their families.Horace Greeley, a well-known American newspaper editor of the period had sound advice for those seeking work. Do not, Greeley said, lounge ( to stand or sit in a leaning lazy manner) in the cities! There is room and health in the country, away fro

426、m the crowds of idles (people who waste time doing in the mid-19th century, nothing) and imbeciles (a person of weak mind). Go West. In the mid-19th century, when Greeley issued(发表)his call to go west, America was on the brink of developing its western regions-much as China is today. Out west, the u

427、nemployed could find jobs. What was needed then in the American West is what is needed now in Chinas western expanses; men and women with determination to make something of themselves, men and women with skills any developing nation must have to survive and prosper.It has nothing to do with Internet

428、.It has nothing to do with becoming a movie star, pop music idol (偶像), or a Bill Gates clone (克隆人). It has everything to do with reality.45. Why does the author think “Go West” is the best advice for young people in China?A. If they go west, they are sure to get rich.B. Chinas west is richer than it

429、s east.C. Eastern cities are too crowded to live in.D. There are more chances of success there than in the east.46. The author mentions young Americans of the 19th century because_.A. he wants young Chinese to learn from themB. he tries to show how thy succeeded in the eastern citiesC. they were goo

430、d examples for todays young Chinese to followD. most of them preferred to work in the west47. The underlined word “sound” means_.A. what may be heard B. seem when heardC. produce a sound D. based on truth or good judgment48. What is needed in Chinas west now according to the writer?A. The Internet.

431、B. Movie stars.C. People with skills. D. Pop music idols. (D)Many young children have, at one time or other, wished to be a scientist. But, as they get older, the dream often fades among new fashions and relationships.But Wang Siyuan, a talkative Senior 3 student from Beijing No. 4 High School, is c

432、ertain that he will one day become a scientist. “My dream to become a scientist has never changed, but it gets stronger day by day,” he said. And hes already on the road to success. Wangs program on the control of DNA replication has been chosen to appear in the Intel Science and Engineering Fair he

433、ld in the US in May. ISEF is the worlds largest pre-college science competition. Wang was recognized for his outstanding work on bacteriophage (噬菌体). His research also won him first prize in last years National Youth Science and technology Creation Contest and the Award Scientists. “From the literal

434、 Chinese meaning, I guessed that bacteriophage kills bacteria by eating or swallowing them. But how can it eat or swallow those bacteria whose bodies are larger than its own? Wang asked. When he entered high school, he set about researching the answer the question. Everything that I know the least i

435、nterests me most, he said. Since there was little information about it in his biology textbook, Wang searched his parents library. He was amazed to learn bacteriophage kills bacteria by replicating its own DNA in others bodies. Wang enrolled himself in Beijing Youth Science Club, which is organized

436、by well-known professors-from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Many students enroll in the club, but most stop attending soon after. Wang stayed. “Their programs have strengthened my interest in science and encouraged me to think about more in depth,” Wang said. Experiments and reading English biolo

437、gy texts took up almost all of Wangs free time. He was also class monitor and elected as chairman of the Student Union when in Science 2. “I have a habit of keeping a list of things that I have to do every day. Sometimes, eight to nine items are put down in my notebook,” he said. Peking University h

438、as already admitted Wang as a future freshman, so he doesnt have to attend any classes for the National College Entrance Examination in June. But Wang continues to go to school and never returns to his dorm before 10: 00p. m. He said he concentrates more on his research and experiments while at scho

439、ol. If he stayed at home, his Mum would distract him by always reminding him to drink water and eat fruit, he said. The 18-year-old recently added another award to his growing list of honors. Last week, five Beijing middle school students were given the Mayors Award for Youth in Science and Technolo

440、gy, and Wang was among them.49. According to the article, what gets stronger day by day for Wang Siyuan?A. His work in the class. B. His road to success. C. His dream to become a scientist. D. His wish to become an Engineer.50. According to the article in Paragraph 5, which sentence is correct? A. B

441、ut how can it chew or digest those bacteria whose shells are larger than its own. B. But how can it eat and dispose those bacteria larger than its own. C. But how can it eat or swallow bacteria with bodies larger than its own. D. But how can it eat or swallow a bacterium whose body is larger than it

442、s own.51. What takes up most of Wangs free time? A. Being the class monitor. B. Reading the text books. C. Collecting his awards. D. Drinking water and eating fruits.52. In Paragraph 6 Wang was looking for the answer his question, where did he find the answer? A. From his text books from the library

443、. B. Surfing the web. C. From his parents house. D. Beijing Youth Science Club. (E) When I opened my e-mail the other day, a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen. She greeted me by my name and started talking with great enthusiasm. Every now and then she stopped to smile at me or

444、 glow a kiss. She was reading to me an e-mail from my brother, and a lot of it was about the trouble he had getting the phone company to give him a high-speed Internet connection. It was pretty cool. Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail. Facemail lets you send an e-mail that g

445、ets read to the recipient by an attractive male or female form or by a clown (小丑). The software, which is free, can be downloaded at www. F. Facemail faces are lifelike, and they imitate emotions based on emotions that you put in your text. For example, type in: -x, and Rachel blows a kiss. LifeFX,

446、the company that develops the Facemail, is sure there are broad business uses. The reason e-business is not popular, the company says, is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch. But when if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name, waited on you and personally

447、 closed the sale? And it is talking with Whirlpool (惠而浦公司). about using the technology in a computer screen on a fridge. Then if Mom cant be home when the kids get back from school, she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat. Facemail could get hot fast. Personally,

448、Im a fan. But Facemail should be used with care. The clown looks lively and funny at first. But if you select the clown, put a few rude words in an e-mail and add some angry emotions, youve got Psychomail (疯人型电子邮件) .53. The main advantage of Facemail is that_.A. you can hire a beautiful woman to rea

449、d the e-mail to you B. you can see the person who send you the e-mail C. you can put your own emotions in the e-mail D. e-mails can be read in a more lively way54. We can infer from the passage that Facemail _. A. is likely to be used in other aspects of our daily life B. can destroy your e-mail if

450、not properly used C. needs further improvement D. will take the place of the e-mail system55. The writer mentioned Nike website and Michael Jordan to show that_. A. famous people like Michael Jordan also like to use Facemail B. Facemail can make shopping on the Internet more interesting C. Nike comp

502、nment if you asked for paper bags instead?The answer is not as easy as it might seem.

552、verty, lack of education, living without a settled home, being parentless, sufferings from other kinds of misfortune, etc. There are also other factors than material conditions which are responsible for the sharp increase of crime rate. In the first place, some state laws provide for a death penalty

553、 but some not. Secondly, the Constitution allows every citizen to carry weapons for his own protection.It is therefore possible and easy for anyone in the country to get a gun. Finally, there has been too much shown on TV and too much reported in newspaper of all kinds of crime, the details of which

554、 are so accurately described that even children know how to duplicate what they have seen or read. All these have resulted in a higher frequency of crimes committed both by professional criminals and by nonprofessional ones in murder, drug smuggling, robbery, pocket-picking, etc.41. In this passage,

555、 the author intends to tell the reader that_.A. the United States is a wealthy country although poverty and crime exist there B. crime has become a serious problem in the United States although it is said to be a prosperous countryC. despite the fact that crimes have been increasing rapidly in the U

556、nited States, it is a country of posterityD. in spite of stories about poverty and crime in the United States, it is prospering at an increasing rate42. In 1979, there was one murder committed_. A. in every 24 minutes B. in every 10 minutes C. in every 100 000 people D. in every 7 minutes43. Which o

557、f the following is not mentioned but implied by the author as responsible for the sharp increase of crime rate?A. Being poor B. Being parentlessC. Being unemployed D. Being homeless44. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Everyone agrees that bad material conditi

558、ons is the only reason for crime.B. The Constitution of the U.S. guarantees the right of every citizen to possess weapons for his own protection.C. Too much crime shown on TV has, at least partly, resulted in a higher rate of crime in the U.S.D. More than half of the criminals arrested in 1979 were

559、young people under 45. The tone of the author in this passage is one of_.A. anger B. sadness C. matter-of-factness D. hopelessness(C)If I were writing a history of my family, some of the darkest moments recorded would be those surrounding Christmas trees. One would certainly think otherwise; neverth

560、eless, selecting and putting up our trees have always been fraught with peril(冒险). For instance, one afternoon dangerously close to Christmas Eve my mother bought what she perceived to be a bargain: a glorious tree that was so full and tall that we could hardly get it into the house. Once we did, my

561、 father immediately realized that we would have to hire a carpenter to build a stand for it. Another December, perhaps the very next one, we bought a tree earlier than we ever had before. We were pleased with its shape and delighted that its size was manageable. We easily placed it in a stand, decor

562、ated it from top to bottom, and then smugly sat back to bask in its soft light. Two or three days passed, and the truth could not be hidden: we had bought a tree cut so long ago that it was now shedding its needles without provocation. There was nothing to do but to undecorated it, take it down, and

563、 begin treeshopping again. Our most recent Christmas tree offered still another challenge. When we brought it home, once again it seemed larger than it had in the great outdoors. To complicate matters, we had bought a new stand, one whose nuts and bolts worked more mysteriously than those of our old

564、 stand. Our only recourse was to persuade two young neighbors to stop dunking basketballs and to help us get the tree into the house and set it securely in the stand. Unfortunately, no one noticed the mud on our helpers sneakers, so only after removing several reddish brown spots from the carpet wer

565、e we able to discuss the question of where the lights and ornaments were stored. Perhaps those who cut their own trees have tales to tell more harrowing than these. I dont care to hear them, for my familys experience, of which these are but three, are enough to tempt me to make the following suggest

566、ion: “Lets forget the tree next Christmas; lets simply drape a garland over the mirror in the hall and hang a wreath on the front door.”46. The darkest moments in the writers family concerned the fact_.A. that the family bought big Christmas treesB. that they had problems decorating their Christmas

567、treesC. that they had problems picking suitable Christmas treesD. that they had problems finding carpenters for putting up Christmas trees47. From the passage, we can learn that the writer would like to_.A. forget about ChristmasB. get the neighbors to put up their treeC. buy a better treeD. make so

568、me other decorations to celebrate Christmas48. The new stand was bought_.A. for the neighborsB. for the most recent Christmas treeC. for the tree that was witheringD. so father wouldnt have to hire a carpenter49. The sentence “mother bought what she perceived to be a bargain” means_.A. that she had

569、to bargain hard with the salesmanB. that she didnt really want to buy itC. that she has bought the tree at a cheap priceD. that she couldnt afford a more expensive one50. What can be the best title for the passage?A. No More Christmas Trees for US.B. Dark Moments of Life.C. How to Select a Christmas

(D) If you want to stay young sit down and have a good think.This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we are aging unnecessarily soon. Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wante

571、d to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of aging could be slowed down. With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousa

572、nd people of different ages and varying occupations. Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect and emotion, and determine the human character. The rear section of the brain, which co

573、ntrols functions like eating and breathing, does not contact with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties.Contraction of front and side parts-as cells die off-was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty and seven-ye

574、ar-olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his terms that contraction of brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. These least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine works in government offices are, however,

575、 likely to have shrinking brains as the farm workers, but drivers and shop assistants. Matsuzawas findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. The best way to maintain good blood circulati

576、on is thought using the brain, he says, Think hard and engage in conversation. Dont reply on pocket calculator. 51. The team of doctors wanted to find out_.A. why certain people age sooner than others B. how to make people live longer C. the size of certain peoples brains D. which people are most in

577、telligent52. On what are their research findings based? A. Survey of farmers in northern Japan. B. Tests performed on a thousand old people. C. The study of brain volumes of different people. D. The latest development of computer technology.53. The doctors tests show that_.A. our brains shrink as we

602、re, the sources of what we call a sense of “mastery”-feeling important and worthwhile-and the sources of what we call a sense of “pleasure”-finding life enjoyable-are not always identical. Women often are told, “You cant have it all.” Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is “You choose a care

603、er, so you cant expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life”, or “You have a wonderful husband and children-whats all this about wanting a career?” But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being, if they have to feel good about themselves.Our study shows that, for

604、 women, well-being has two dimensions. One is mastery, which includes self-esteem, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression. Mastery is closely related to the “doing” side of life, to work and activity. Pleasure is the other dimension, and it is composed of happine

605、ss, satisfaction and optimism. It is tied more closely to the “feeling” side of life. The two are independent of each other. Woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa. For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about h

606、erself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time.The concepts of mastery and pleasure could help us identify the sources of well-being for women, and remedy past mistakes. In the past, women are encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the sourc

607、e of all well-being. But we know that both mastery and pleasure are critical. And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work. In our study, all the groups of employed women rated significantly high in mastery than did women who were not employed.A womans well-being is enhanced when she takes

608、on multiple role. At least by middle adulthood, the women who were involved in the combination of roles-marriages, motherhood, and employment-were the highest in well-being, in spite of warning about stress and strain.36. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that_. A. for women, a sense of ma

609、stery is more important than a sense of pleasureB. a sense of mastery and a sense of pleasure are both indispensable to women C. women cant have a sense of mastery and a sense of pleasure at the same time D. for women, a sense of pleasure is more important than a sense of mastery37. The authors atti

610、tude towards women having a career is_.A. positive B. critical C. neutral (中立的) D. realistic38. One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles _. A. it will he easier for her to overcome stress and strain B. she will be more successful in her career C. the chances of

611、 getting promoted will be greater D. her life will he richer and more meaningful39. Which of the following can be identified as a source of “pleasure” for women? A. Freedom from anxiety. B. Regular employment. C. Multiple roles in society. D. Family life.40. The most appropriate title for the passag

612、e would be _ A. The Well-Being of Career Women B. Two Aspects of Womens Well-Being C. Sources of Mastery and Pleasure D. Multiple Roles of Women in Society （B）Born on October 28, 1967 in Georgia, U.S.A, Julia Roberts grew up hanging around the theatre and watching her parents working. She made her f

613、ilm first public appearance playing a supporting role opposite her brother, Eric Roberts, in Blood in 1986. But her first real break came from the made - for - cable drama Satisfaction (1988), which led to a large supporting role in Mystic Pizza (1989). Julia Roberts role of a strong- headed pizza s

614、hop waitress who seduces a wealthy man earned her praise and led to her role in 1989 s Steel Magnolias. As the poor Shelby, Roberts earned an Oscar nomination for her performance.In order to branch off into more serious waters, Julia Roberts played a medical student who starts experimenting with lif

615、e-after-death experiences in Flatliners (1990). Later in 1990, she stared in the sentimental romantic comedy Pretty Woman. The film was international hit and Roberts became a household name. But her later films, particularly Dying Young (1991), were of a decidedly uneven quality. After shooting her

616、scenes as Tinker Bell in Steven Spielberg s Hook (1991), Roberts took some time off to repair her personal life.In 1993, Julia Roberts married country singer Lyle Lovett and then made a successful come-back in The Pelican Brief (1993). But her next two movies in the following year, Pre-a-Porter and

617、I love Trouble proved to be critical and commercial disappointments. Roberts bad luck continued when her much-anticipated Mary Reilly (1996) failed at the box office. But her career began to pick up again with Michael Collins and Conspiracy Theory (both 1996). In 1997, Roberts made a successful retu

618、rn in comedy My Best Friends Wedding and continued her quick rise in 1999 with Noting Hill and Run-away Bride. Both films helped to further restore Roberts to her status as the most shining woman in Hollywood. Her biggest success comes from Erin Brockovich. For the excellent performance she made in

619、it, Julia Roberts was given the Oscar for Best Leading Actress Award on March 25, 2001.41. Which of the following movies made Julia Roberts an international name? A. Stell Magnolias.B.

But in the US it has really happened.Nine-year-old Noah McCullough from Texas, has taken on the role of speaking to the

631、public in support of President George W. Bushs social security reforms.On February 25 he signed an agreement with the American Congress to work for the White House as a volunteer. “What I want to tell people about social security is not to be afraid of the new plan,” Noah said. “It may be a change,

632、but its a good change.”Besides this task, he already has a higher goal. He plans to run for the White House in 2032. So far, Noah seems to have a very bright future.Despite his age, Noah already has his firm opinion on running the US. “I firmly believe that the combination of large business and smal

633、l governments creates a peaceful and present society because industry can stimulate (刺激) economic growth,” he said.Noahs politics do not come from his parents. “He is very patriotic and very republican,” said Noahs mother, Donna McCullough. “Its the way he was born.”Noahs interest began after a mock

Their behavior doesnt mirror TV soap operas like Coronation Street and Enders.The Streets Ashley Peacock and Toyah Batters

640、by know all their neighbours. But Royal Mail survey shows that real-life under-35s wouldnt dream of popping next door a chat or to borrow a cup of sugar.Three out of ten say they wouldnt know their neighbours if they saw them in street. The same proportion would only offer to help neighbours if abso

641、lutely necessary, while 31 percent dont want to get to know them better. Twenty-six percent rarely or never speak to the person next door. Thirty-five percent only talk to neighbours occasionally, and six percent actively dislike them. The older generation is still sociable, with 70 percent of over-

642、55s taking time to chat to people next door. The report says: “In the past, the British tradition of village green gossip (闲聊) between neighbours was celebrated world wide. But theres been a clear shift away from local links by the young generation.” Londoners are least likely to be neighbours, with

643、 a third rarely or never chatting over the garden fence. People in the Midlands-where 65 percent often speak to their neighboursare most friendly.Sociologist Jane Blakeman said: “People are working longer hours than ever before, and are traveling further to work.
