The second annual National Technology Scan conducted by Park found that the main reason why potential customers say they do not subscribe to the Internet is because of the low value to their daily lives rather than concerns over cost.Forty-four percent of these families say they are not interested in anything on the Internet, versus just 22 percent who say they cannot afford a computer or the cost of Internet service, the survey showed. The answer "I'm not sure how to use the Internet" came from 17 percent of participants who do not subscribe. The response "I do all my e-commerce shopping and YouTube-watching at work" was cited by 14 percent of Internet-access refuseniks. Three percent said the Internet doesn't reach their homes.The study found U.S. broadband adoption grew to 52 percent over 2006, up from 42 percent in 2005. Roughly half of new subscribers converted（转变）from slower-speed, dial-up Internet access while the other half of families had no prior access."The industry continues to chip （击破）away at the core of non-subscribers, but has a long way to go," said John Barrett, director of research at Parks Associates. "Entertainment applications will be the key. If anything will pull in the holdouts, it's going to be applications that make the Internet more similar to pay-TV," he predicted. 1．What does the underlined word ―holdouts‖ in the first paragraph most p robably mean?A. some American familiesB. those who hold out one’s opinionsC. those who have been surveyedD. those who still haven’t access to the Internet currently2．Many potential customers refuse to subscribe to the Internet mainly because __________.A. they show too much concern about the costB. they can find little value of itC. they do most YouTube-watching at workD. the Internet doesn’t reach their homes3．From the passage we can infer that _____________.A. It is not an easy job to transform those holdouts into the Internet usersB. people will adopt dial-up Internet access no moreC. many Americans enjoy doing e-commerce shopping at homeD. more than half of the population are using the Internet in 20054．According to John Barrett, what is the key to attracting more U.S. families to broadband service?A. making the Internet look more similar to TV setB. applying the Internet more to entertainmentC. providing more pay-TV programsD. chipping away at the core of non-subscribers5．Which is the best title for the passage?A. Web develops with technologyB. The present situation of webC. Many Americans see little point to webD. It is urgent to promote web serviceBWhen did you see a polar bear ? On a trip to a zoo, perhaps ? If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These ―Polar Bears‖ are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3 degrees. And the water temperature was a little higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements. First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group; this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.Doctors don’t agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body’s temperature drops so slow that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and the water tempreature is much greater in summer than in winter.The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system (循环系统) because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and could not try cold-water swimming.The main benefits of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim all the year round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says, ―When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away.‖1. Doctors _________ .A. have different ideas about the medical effects of cold-water swimmingB. believe swimming is helpful both in summer and in winterC. enourage people to take part in cold-water swimmingD. point out the possible danger of blood illness during cold-water swimming2. According to the passage, some doctors believe it is true that _______ .A. Polar bears are bears swimming in freezing waterB. cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously highC. you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blueD. cold-water swimming causes more heart attack in summer than in winter3. The Polar Bears like to swim year-round, for _______ .A. it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winterB. they can stay youngC. they find it enjoyable and interestingD. they might meet fewer troubles in life4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text ?A.The Polar Bear is a club in which people swim to protect polar bears.B. The club members are all over 60 years old.C. There is no woman in the club.D. None of the above.5. This passage is mainly about _______ .A. the requirements of the Polar Bear ClubB. a group of cold-water-swimming loversC. the Po lar Bears’ life in New YorkD. doctors’ ideas about cold-water swimmingCMy name is Ralph and I am 42 years old. I work in a factory that I enjoy very much. On May 27, 1999, I was working on an automatic machine. While working my hand was pulled into the machine and my middle finger on my right hand was ripped off. I had surgery to replace what was left of the finger and now I have a finger that is almost as long as my index finger.Over the years I have been very blessed for a full and healthy life. Most of all, blessed for having my wife. We have grown together and grown in our faith. Life is going to go on with or without my finger. I was not going to let this take over my life and I pushed to go back to work and got light duty.This was where my lesson began. When I returned to work, I started getting comments and some teasing from people asking me if it was worth losing my finger over a pack of cigarettes. Someone started a rumor that I had dropped a pack of cigarettes and reached down to pick them up and that is how I lost my finger. This is not true. This rumor hurt more than losing my finger in that machine. Everyone was called in to a meeting to resolve this matter and get the story straight. I had to share my lesson.We can ruin a person’s life by just a few bad words. There is an old saying that I will never forget: ―Words and water are easily poured, but impossible to recover.‖ So please remember to watch what you say. 1．According to the author, his index finger on his right hand is almost as long as ________.A. his middle finger on his right handB. his middle finger on his left handC. his thumb on his right handD. his thumb on his left hand2．From the second paragraph, we know that the author ________.A. was not happy with a short fingerB. had a good relationship with his wifeC. didn’t want to work any more in the factoryD. wanted to find an important jobDIn spite of the uncertainty of the economy, the movie industry has been stricken by a box-office outburst. Suddenly it seems as if everyone is going to the movies, with ticket sales this year up 17.5 percent, to $1.7 billion.And it is not just because ticket prices are higher. Attendance has also jumped, by nearly 16 percent. If that pace continues through the year, it would amount to the biggest box-office increase in at least two decades.Americans, for the moment, just want to hide in a very dark place. People want to forget their troubles, and they want to be with other people. Helping feed the outburst is the mix of movies, which have been more audience-friendly in recent months as the studios have tried to adjust after the discouraging sales of more serious films.As she stood in line at the 18-screen Bridge theater complex here on Thursday to buy weekend tickets for ―Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience,‖ Angel Hernandez was not thinking much about escaping reality. Instead, Ms. Hernandez, a Los Angeles parking lot attendant and mother of four young girls, was focused on one very specific reality: her wallet.―Spending hundreds of dollars to take them to Disneyland is ridiculous right now,‖ she said. ―For $60 and some candy money I can still be a good mom and give them a little fun.‖A lot of parents may have been thinking the same thing Friday, as ―Jonas Brothers‖ sold out more than 800 theaters, and was expected to sell a powerful $25 million or more in tickets.The film industry appears to have had a hand in its recent good luck. Over the last year or two, studios have released movies that are happier, scarier or just less depressing than what came before. After poor results for a rush of serious dramas built around the Middle East, Hollywood got back to comedies.1．Which of the following is not a reason for the improvement of the movie industry?A. A growing number of people are going to the cinema.B. People are richer with the development of economy.C. More comedies are made than serious films.D. People have to pay more to watch a movie.2．Ms. Hernandez purchased the movie tickets because ________.A. she tried to escape realityB. she was a crazy movie fanC. she was fond of DisneylandD. she wanted to please her kids3．According to the text, which of the following number is not used to describe the shooting up of the movie industry?A.17.5%B. $1.7 billionC. $60D. $25 million4．The passage is developed mainly by ________.A. presenting the effect and analyzing the causesB. following the order of timeC. describing problems and drawing a conclusionD. making comparison of ideas五、阅读填空[1]Global difference in intelligence is a sensitive topic, long filled with a large number of different opinions. But recent data has indeed shown cognitive (认知的) ability to be higher in some countries than in others. What's more, IQ scores have risen as nations develop—a phenomenon known as the "Flynn effect". Many causes have been put forward for both the intelligence difference and the Flynn effect, including education, income, and even non-agricultural labor. Now, a new study from researchers at the University of New Mexico offers another interesting theory: intelligence may be linked to infectious-disease rates.[2]The brain, say author Christopher Eppig and his colleagues, is the "most costly organ in the human body". Brainpower consumes almost up to 90 percent of a newborn's energy. It's clear that if something affects energy intake while the brain is growing, the impact could be long and serious. And for vast parts of the globe, the biggest threat to a child's body—and therefore brain—is parasitic (由寄生虫引起的) infection. These illnesses threaten brain development________________. They can directly attack live tissue, which the body must then try every means to replace. They can invade the digestive pipe and block nutritional intake. They can rob the body's cells for their own reproduction. And then there's the energy channeled (输送) to the immune system to fight the infection.[3]Using data on national "disease burdens" (life years lost due to infectious diseases) and average intelligence scores, the authors found they are closely associated. The countries with the lowest average IQ scores have the highest disease burdens without exception. On the contrary, nations with low disease burdens top the IQ list.[4]If the study holds water, it could be revolutionary for our understanding of the still-confusing variation in national intelligence scores.1．What is the main idea of the text？(no more than 10 words)________________________________________________________________________2．Complete the following statement with proper words.(no more than 4 words)Those countries that have the ________________ are always at the bottom of the IQ list.3．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words.(no more than 5 words)___________4．What can cause intelligence difference？(no more than 8 words)______________________________________________________________________5．What does the word ―they‖ (Line2, paragraph3)probably refer to?

About one hundred of these four-year schools began as public agricultural colleges, and continue to teach agriculture. They are called land grant colleges or universities. Federal land grants supported the building of most of the major state universities in the United States. The idea of the land grant college was developed more than 100 years ago by Congressman Justin Smith Morrill of Vermont. In 1862,he wrote bills to create such a college in each state. Almost 200 international students are studying this year in the College of Agricultural Sciences at Penn State. All but five are graduate students. University officials say most international students in the College of Agricultural Sciences are from Africa, Asia and Europe. They are studying animal science, plant science, economics, and food science.。
