AMark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new puter enviously. Jason was determined not to go against their father’s wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loves experimenting and his aim was to bee a scientist like his father.“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you’ve been playing with his new puter” Jason said, “He told us not to touch it.”“He won’t find out,” Mark said, “I’ll just have a quick look and shut it down.”Mark had been scolded before for touching his father’s equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new puter really puzzled him.It was a strange-looking machine —one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “It’s an experimental model,” his father had explained, so don’t touch it under any circumstances.” But his father’s warning only served to make Mark more curiou s. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The puter burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colours, shifting and changing, and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen: “SPACE TRANSPORTER.”“Yes!” Mark cried excitedly, “It’s a puter game. I knew it! Dad’s only been pretending to work. He’s really been playing games instead!” A new message appeared on the screen:“ENTER NAMESVOYAGE１VOYAGE２Mark’s finger flew across the keyboard a s he typed in both of their names.“INPUT ACCEPTED.START TRANSPORT PROGRAM.AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED(自动回收程序已启动).”The screen turn even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.“I think we’d better shut it off, Mark,” Jason yel led out in terror, reaching for the power switch. A beam(光束) of dazzling white light burst out of the puter screen, wrapping the boys inits glow(光芒)，until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen, the letters changed：“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL．DESTINATION: MARS.RETRIEVE DATE: 202526.

They were carried away to another country.BIn the US and Britain, the slogan around colleges was “Save water. Shower with a friend.” Now, Wuhan University has e up with another system for the campus bathhouse. It charges students for the amount of time in a shower. Before entering the bathhouse, students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card. The clock starts ticking the minute the tape is turned on. It pauses when a button is pressed for soap. An integrated circuit (IC) card reader at each tap shows the time. No money, no water. The benefits of the new system can be seen with the old system, which charged 1 Yuan for each personregardless of time in the shower. The university used about 320 tons of water daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now.Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided. Some students say it is bad because bathing had bee a sort of race. Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower. Some might be embarrassed if their time is up and they’re still covered in soap. They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time.“It’s a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card,” said Ren, a freshman in Wuhan University. The university is also considering some students’ suggestions that t hey be allowed to pay after they’ve finished the shower. Not surprisingly, some are plaining about losing the hour shower. But many students say the move helps them develop awater-saving sense.Without the time limits, most students tended to shower for 30 to an hour in the bathhouse.Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. “In my experience, 10—20 minutes is enough,” said Dai Zhihua, a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes.A similar system has been installed in other universities. Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September. The bathing fee there is 0.2 Yuan per minute. One male student responded by setting a record with a two-minute shower.31. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Students buy the time of their showers.B. The clock times the student’s bathing except when the bather pauses for soap.C. If money runs out, there will be no water.D. Having finished bathing, the student has to pay for it.32. The underline word “flaw” (Paragraph 3) most probably means __________.A. faultB. advantageC. pityD. perfection33. Since the new system has performed, __________ of water can be saved.A. a quarterB. one thirdC. one half D．two thirds34. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A. t he new operation can raise students’ environmental awarenessB. the new operation can solve the water crisisC. a similar operation has been set in other universitiesD. the university has saved a lot of water by using the new system35. In which column can you find this passage?A. Culture.B. Society.C. Campus Life.D. Lifestyle.CWhen times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we’re hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor’s degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there’s a question: Would the quality of undergraduate(本科生)education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a “three-year degree” model.I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum(课程) any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits(学分). In addition, at famous universities, the mittee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly “throw out” one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist “diluting(稀释)” the quality of the education they offer.In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. A college education requires sufficient time for a student to bee skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it’s not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns(实习生)in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University.36．The first paragraph serves as a(n)________．A. explanationB. definitionC. introductionD. ment37．We can learn from the passage that ________.A. most American universities are against the “three-year degree” modelB. many famous US universities are considering adopting the “three-year degree” modelC. professors are willing to accept the “three-year degree” modelD. t he “three-year degree” model can make college learning more efficient38．In most US universities，________.A. college students are offered the co-op programB. electives’ credits make up one quarter of the required creditsC. all students are required to finish four-year education before graduationD. some excellent students can graduate ahead of time39．We can infer that________.A. the author is a college professorB. the author thinks the cost of a university education is too high for people to affordC. the author considers the university education quality very importantD. the author pays special attention to the all-round development of college students 40．Which of the following can be the best title?A. It’s time to shorten the learning processB. Best learning takes place over timeC. University education should be watered downD. College education calls for reformDMillions of people die of hunger in southern Africa every year, but when Zambia was offered thousands of tons of free maize by the US, the government politely said no.“We don’t know whether the food is safe,” said Zambia’s merce, Trade and Industry Minister Dipak Patel.His worries are shared by countries around the world that are in two minds about America’s genetically modified（GM,转基因的）crops．Just last week, EU（欧盟）member nations were discussing whether or not to import GM sweet corn from the US．Ever since people started farming, they have tried to crossbreed（杂交）plants to make them stronger or better tasting. At one time, only related plants could be crossed with each other．But when GM techniques were developed in the 1970s, scientists were able to put a single gene from a living creature into an unrelated creature.This means they can make crops more productive and resistant to disease by adding genes from other species．They can also create food with special characteristics, such as “golden rice”, which is enriched with vitamin A. But many people believe GM foods are a health risk.At the moment, the official argument is that GM foods “are not likely to present risks for human health”. But there are still many questions t o be answered as the foods are produced in different ways.Some experts believe the genetic material added to plants can transfer to humans and give damage to our bodies. Further harm could be caused by the genes from GM plants crossbreeding with naturally produced crops．People in China are also getting worried about GM foods. More than 70 percent of the country’s soybean oil is produced from imported GM soybeans. Meanwhile, an investigation last November found that 12 of 60 famous foods sold across the country were GM products. The government has begun to introduce a marking system for GM goods so that people can choose whether or not to eat them.41. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Harmful GM foodsB. Advantages of GM foodsC. GM foods, a health risk?D. the Techniques of GM foods42. Why has Zambia refused the American free maize?A. they decide to follow EU member’s adviceB. they are concerned about the safety of GM foodsC. they care little about the problem of starvationD. they are too proud to accept free offer43. It has been proved that _________.A. GM foods are harmful to people’s healthB. GM food is no better than naturally produced foodsC. only related plans could be crossed with each otherD. GM techniques can increase the production of crops44. Which of the following statement is TRUE?A. GM foods are a health risk.B. Only Zambia worries about the safety of GM foods .C. China’s gove rnment hasn’t taken any action about GM foods.D. Some experts believe human bodies can absorb genetic material from GM foods.45. What’s the author’s attitude towards GM foods?A. Supportive.B. Neutral.C. Doubtful.D. Critical.第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）请阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
