There are exceptions, such as the tidal (潮汐的) waves sometimes produced by earthquakes under the sea. But the waves most of us know are produced by winds blowing over the s
29、ea.Now before constructing an imaginary life history of a typical wave, we need to know certain physical things about it. A wave has height, from trough (low point) to crest (high Point). It has length-the distance from this crest to that of the following wave. The period of the wave means the time
30、it takes for succeeding crests to pass a fixed point. None of these things stays the same-for all depend upon the wind, upon the depth of the water and many other matters.The water that makes up a wave does not advance with it across the sea. Each drop of water turns around in a little circle with t
31、he passing of the wave, but returns very nearly to its original position. And it is fortunate that this is so. For if the huge masses of water that make up a wave actually moved across the sea, sailing would be impossible.If we want to find the speed of a wave, we may use the following way:Speed = w
32、avelength frequencyHere, wavelength is the distance between two high points (crests), frequency means the number of cycles per second 56. What causes waves?A. Earthquakes and nothing else. B. Only wind.C. Wind causes most waves. D. Wind causes some waves.57. Which of the following is true according
33、to the passage?A. The water of a wave moves away across the sea.B. The water of a wave remains almost at the same place.C. The water of a wave goes with the passing of the wave.D. The length of a wave means the distance from the top of a wave to the bottom.58. The speed of Wave 1 is 100 cm/s, freque
34、ncy 10. The frequency of Wave 2 is 300, while its speed is twice that of Wave 1. Which of the following is right?A. The wavelengths of the two are equal.B. The wavelength of Wave 1 is 10 times longer than that of Wave 2.C. The wavelength of Wave 2 is longer than that of Wave 1. D. The wavelength of
35、Wave 1 is longer than that of Wave 2.BThere has been a dramatic increase in the number of natural disasters over the past few years, and it is assumed that global warming and climate change could cause even more disasters in the future. Some of the worlds leading cities are facing disasters like flo
36、ods and heat waves. London Londons flood defences are getting older. Since 1982, the Thames Barrier(水闸)has protected the city from the threat of flooding, but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years. About 26 years later the barrier now closes five or six time
37、s a year and according to Environment Agency predictions, by 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not addressed. There are 26 underground stations, 400 schools, 16 hospitals, an airport and 80 billion worth of property in Londons flood risk area, so large scale floo
38、ding would be disastrous. Paris Over a six week period in July and August 2003, more than 11,400mainly elderly peopledied in France from dehydration(脱水)and extremely high body temperature in a deadly heat wave. Heat waves of similar intensity(强度)are expected every seven years by 2050, so what can be
39、 done to make sure such a disaster does not happen again? One solution is to have air-conditioners installed in elderly care homes. But this is considered a short-term solution, as the increase in demand for electricity also increases carbon emissions(排放). In Paris the local authorities are encourag
40、ing architects to design new types of buildings such as the building “Flower Tower,” which uses a covering of bamboo to act as a natural air-conditioner.Shanghai Shanghai is the fastest growing city on Earth. It has a population of 18 million and is only 4 meters above sea level. Sea levels are pred
41、icted to rise by 20 cm within the next century. An estimated 250，000 people move to Shanghai every year in search of work, placing extra demands on energy consumption. China relies heavily on coalfired power stations, but these emissions increase temperatures and, in turn, warmer seas increase the r

47、or for public outings. Unexpectedly, only a few students, including Kyle, had not earned the privilege of going. He was determined to make his disappointment known.In the corridor(走廊) between classrooms, he began screaming, cursing, spitting, and swinging at anything within striking distance. Once h
48、is outburst died down, he did what hed done when he was angry at all his other schools, at home, even once at a juvenile detention(拘留)center. He ran.People watched in disbelief as Kyle dashed straight into the heavy morning traffic in front of the school.I heard someone shout, “Call the police!”But
49、I ran after him.Kyle was at least a foot taller than me. And he was fast. His older brothers were track stars at the nearby high school. But I could run long distances without tiring. I would at least be able to keep him in my sight and know he was alive.After several blocks of running directly into
50、 oncoming traffic, Kyle slowed his pace. He took a sharp left. Standing next to a trash bin, Kyle bent over with his hands on his knees. I must have looked ridiculous. But his was not a look of fear. I saw his body relax. He did not attempt to run again. Kyle stood still and watched me approach. I h
51、ad no idea what I was going to say or do, but I kept walking closer.He opened his mouth to speak when a police car pulled up, abruptly filling the space between Kyle and me. The school principal and an officer got out. They spoke calmly to Kyle, who willingly climbed into the back of the vehicle. I
52、couldnt hear what was said, but I didnt take my eyes off Kyles face, even as they drove away.I couldnt help but feel that I had failed him, that I should have done or said more, that I should have fixed the situation.I shared my feelings with a speech therapist who was familiar with Kyles history. “
53、No one ever ran after him before, Rachel,” she said. “No one. They just let him go.”Things changed the day he ran and I ran after him, even though I didnt have the right words, even though I wasnt able to save him from the mess he was in.

DThe worldwide increase in the use of cellphones has caused concerns regarding possible harmful effects caused by cellphone radiation. People are particularl
59、y concerned that the radiation will put cellphone users at a higher risk of suffering from cancer. However, studies of the association between cellphone use and the risk of brain cancer have reached different conclusions(some, but not all, studies showed increased risk). Researchers conducted a stud
60、y to examine if cellphone radiation affected regional activity in the human brain. The study, conducted between January 1 and December 31, 2009,included 47 participants. Cellphones were placed on the left and right ears, and brain imaging was performed to measure brain glucose metabolism(葡萄糖代谢) twic
61、e: one with the right cellphone activated for 50 minutes(“on” condition) and once with both cellphones deactivated(“off” condition). An analysis was conducted to check the association of metabolism and cellphone radiation. The scans were compared to assess the effect of cellphone use on brain glucos
62、e metabolism.The researchers found that whole-brain metabolism did not differ between the on and off conditions. However there were regional effects. Metabolism in some brain region was higher (about 7 percent) for cellphone on than for cellphone off conditions. This indicates that the regions expec
63、ted to absorb more cellphone radiation were the ones that showed the larger increases in glucose metabolism.These results provide evidence that the human brain is sensitive to the effects of acute(剧烈的) cellphone radiation. However, how cellphone radiation could affect brain glucose metabolism is unc
64、lear.Concerns have been raised by the possibility that cellphone radiation may induce brain cancer. Results of this study provide evidence that acute cellphone radiation affects brain metabolic activity. However, these results provide no information as to their connection regarding possible carcinog
65、enic(致癌的) effects (or lack of such effects) of chronic(长期的) cellphone use.Further studies are needed to assess if these effects could have long-term harm.67. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The current situation of cellphone use.B. To phone or not to phone.C. The link between cellphone us
66、e and brain cancer.D. Long-term harmful effects of cellphones.68. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. The future of the cellphone market is not so bright.B. The issue whether cellphone use causes brain cancer remains unsettled.C. Worrying about radiation, more and more people will give up
67、their cellphones. D. Cellphone radiation affects brain function but it doesnt lead to brain cancer.69. The study in the passage tells us .A. the whole-brain metabolism is not affected by cellphone radiationB. how cellphone radiation affects brain glucose metabolismC. studies on the relationship betw

69、据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的词（每空1词）。Young people are definitely less courageous (勇敢的) than they were 30 years ago. Why is this? Its because they are spoiled, and take for granted everything that they have or are given.Thirty years ago, there wasnt nearly as much blatant (公然的) disrespect for elders, peers,
70、 or other people in general. At that time, young people were taught that to get anything or get anywhere in life, theyd have to work for it and earn it.If young people arent being taught the basics of respecting others, and arent being taught that they need to work to make a living, then where are t
71、hey to learn courage?Courage isnt necessarily about risking your life, for whatever reason. It is about being able to face any kind of hardship, and to make decisions and face the consequences of those decisions.Courage means being able to learn from hard times, and to take those lessons with you th
72、rough life. It means having the resourcefulness (足智多谋) to find ways to deal with your problems yourself, and not being afraid to do so.Too many young people now rely on parents, siblings, older relatives and others to get them through life. Too often they turn to these figures whenever they get into
73、 trouble, and expect to have their problems solved for them.If we are to help our young people become more courageous, we should stop spoiling them, stop doing everything for them, and teach them the skills necessary to make basic life decisions on their own.Once these basic principles are instilled
74、 (灌输) in our young people, I think well find that they are more courageous than we could have dreamed, and more like the young people of thirty years ago than we had ever imagined.Its time to go back to older values and ideas, and to bring courage back into our young people and society.

82、ics. Whether the government should give permission for the production of GM foods has become a hot topic in society. People have been debating about the safety of GM foods both in China and abroad. Opinions on this are divided. Some people are excited about the new technology. They are in favor of p
83、romoting the production of GM foods. Considering the increasing worlds population , they think it is urgent to find a way to feed all the people .Luckily, crops can be harvested in large quantities by modifying genetics. Apart from this, their qualities can also be improved ,so they think GM foods w
84、ould be safe for humans or animals to eat and do no harm to their health. However, some people are worried about the safety of GM foods in that there is no evidence enough to prove it. There is also a question raised as to whether GM crops or plants are safe for the environment. No one knows what ef
85、fects GM plants will have on the food chain.On a personal note, it is one thing to study genetics theoretically, but it is another thing to put it into practical use. Since we dont have enough information to confirm that GM foods are safe or dangerous, the government should be cautious about this new technology.
