Ⅵ. 阅读理解
阅读以下短文，从每一小题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最正确选项。

Burning the midnight oil before an exam or interview has an opposite effect according to a research which found that sleep is necessary for memories to be “downloaded〞 into the brain.
“A good night’s sleep within 30 hours of trying to remember a new task is a necessary condition of having good recall in the weeks ahead,〞 scientists have found.
“We think that getting that first night s sleep starts the process of memory consolidation(加强),〞 said Robert Stickgold, a sleep researcher at Harvard Medical School who conducted the latest study.
“It seems that memories are normally washed out of the brain unless some process nails them down. I feel uncertain that sleep is one of those things that do the nailing down,〞 Professor Stickgold said.
Professor Stickgold’s team trained the 24 people to tell the direction of three diagonal bars (斜线) shown for a sixtieth of a second on a computer screen full of horizontal stripes (程度线).
Half the subjects were kept awake that night, while the others slept. Both groups were allowed to sleep for the second and third nights to make up for any differences in tiredness between the volunteers.
Those who slept the first night were much better at remembering the task while the second group showed no improvement in spite of enjoying two nights of catch up sleep.
A further study by scientists at the Medical University at Lubeck in Germany
showed that memories are laid down in two stages during the night. The first is during the deep, so-called “slow wave〞 sleep, which usually takes place in the first half of the night. The second, and less important stage happens during the periods of dreaming or “rapid eye movement (REM)〞. When people don’t sleep well in the first half of the night, their memory consolidation is almost the same as having no sleep at all.
1. Which of the following statements is CORRECT according to the first paragraph?
A. It is necessary to burn the midnight oil before an exam or interview.
B. Sleep speeds up the loss of memory.
C. Man should have a good sleep if he wants to keep a good memory.
D. Staying up late will make you better prepared for an exam or interview.
2. It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that .
A. some process helps memories to be washed out of the brain
B. professor Stickgold is doubtful about whether sleep can make memories worse
C. some memories normally influence the function of the brain
D. sleep may can improve the condition of memories
3. How was the research conducted by Professor Stickgold?
A. The subjects were divided into two groups.
B. All the subjects were kept awake for 3 nights.
C. One group slept at the first night but was kept awake the next two nights.
D. One group was kept awake for 3 nights but the other slept for the second and third nights.
4. What was the study result of the scientists at the Medical University at Lubeck?
A. REM sleep is not important at all for the consolidation for memory.
B. Intellectual performance mainly depends on the slow wave sleep period.
C. When people sleep poorly in the first half of the night, it is almost the same as having no sleep at all.
D. REM sleep is as important as slow wave sleep in terms of memory recall.
5. The BEST title of this passage is .
A. Sleep Necessary for Memories
B. The Importance of the First Stage of Sleep
C. Studies Made By Scientists About Sleep
D. The Scientists’ Achievement in Sleep Research

阅读以下短文，从每一小题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最正确选项。

A
With petroleum reserves (石油储量) decreasing, the search is on to replace gas with a cleaner, greener alternative. Though much eco-talk has centered on biofuels from corn and soybeans, the biofuel that looks more likely to replace petroleum comes from a most unlikely source: algae (藻类).
Algae, like corn, soybeans, and other crops, grow via photosynthesis (光用) and can be processed into fuel oil. However, they yield 30 times more energy than land crops such as soybeans, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Many algae species also can grow in saltwater and polluted water — while corn and soy require arable land and fresh water that will be in short supply as the world s population balloons.
“If you replaced all the diesel (柴油) in the U.S. with soy biodiesel, it would take half the land mass of the U.S. to grow those soybeans,〞 says Matt Caspari, chief executive of Aurora Biofuels, a Berkeley, Calif-based private firm that specializes in algae oil technology. On the other hand, the Energy Department says that if algae fuel replaced all the petroleum fuel in the United States, it would require 15,000 square miles, which is a few thousand miles larger than Maryland (12,407 square miles), the 42nd state in land area.
Another bonus: Because algae can be grown just about anywhere in a closed space, they’re being tested at several power plants across the nation as a carbon absorber.
Smokestack emissions (烟囱排放物) can be pumped directly into the ponds, feeding the algae while keeping greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere.
Although processing technology for algae fuel—also known as “oilgae〞 in some environmentalist circles—is improving, it’s still years away from reaching your local gas pump. “It’s just a question of cost, because no large-scale facilities have been built yet.〞 Caspari says.
1. The underlined word “yield〞 in the second paragraph can be replaced by .
A. control
B. require
C. produce
D. grow
2. Compared with corn and soybeans, algae .
A. may pollute water and soil
B. can grow in poor conditions
C. provide much less energy
D. need more special care
3. According to the third paragraph, one of the advantages of algae fuel is that .
A. it can be used more widely
B. it is more easy to produce
C. it needs much less land
D. it costs much less money
4. What do we learn about algae from the fourth paragraph?
A. Algae help protect the environment.
B. People can grow algae anywhere.
C. Fish can get more oxygen from algae.
D. Algae produce less waste.
5. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Environmental protection.
B. Biofuels from corn and soybeans.
C. The false hope of biofuels.
D. A promising oil alternative.
B
Prince Charles yesterday promised to reduce the royal impact on the environment through sweeping changes to his personal lifestyle and official schedule. The prince will replace carbon-heavy private jets and helicopters with scheduled flights and train services.
The move came as Prince Charles urged business leaders to publish the environmental impact of their activities. He said, “Few accountants and business decision-makers ask, ‘How much of our critical natural resource is left? How many miles of polar ice cap has our business helped melt this year? By how many inches have we raised sea levels? How many species have we put at risk? How many homes will be flooded, how many people will die of thirst or starvation because of our activities?’ These are not comfortable questions, but, by God, they need to be asked.〞
He added, “At the moment these costs do not appear in anyone’s books. Yet they are real, they are incurred (遭受) now and in a relatively short time, the damage being caused may be beyond remedy(补救). 〞He said the world was “running up the
biggest global credit card debt in history, but with little or no thought for how the bill will ever be paid〞.
Flanked by (两侧有) the prime minister and business and community leaders at St James’Palace, the prince said his new “accounting for sustainability (可持续性)〞project would give consumers the power to choose products that caused less damage to the planet.
Duchy Originals, the Prince’s food company, is taking steps to quantify how much carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas is emitted in growing, processing and distributing its products.
The changes to the Prince’s travel arrangements announced yesterday are part of a wider review of the carbon footprint associated with activities at all three of his residences Clarence House in London, Highgrove and Birkhall on the Balmoral estate, as well as the activities of his 21 personal and 105 full-time staff. Measures include a review of electricity use, commuter(通勤者) and other staff travel and are intended to identify further reductions in carbon dioxide emissions. The review will report in June, when Clarence House will announce annual targets to reduce carbon emissions.
6. One of the moves Prince Charles will take to reduce the royal impact on the environment is .
A. taking private jets that are not carbon heavy
B. taking helicopters instead of private jets
C. taking trains instead of scheduled flights
D. taking scheduled flights instead of helicopters
7. How does Prince Charles feel about business leaders in terms of environmental protection?
A. Dissatisfied.
B. Disappointed.
C. Doubtful.
D. Impatient.
8. Duchy Originals will in response to Prince Charles’calls.
A. make as much green food as possible
B. cut down on its electricity use
C. figure out its greenhouse gas emission
D. reduce its greenhouse gas emission
9. The underlined phrase “the biggest global credit card debt〞 in the third paragraph probably refers to .
A. the great amount of waste produced by industry
B. the great damage caused for the environment
C. the great amount of debts of the royal family
D. the high cost of industry in the producing process
10. What would be the BEST title of the passage?
A. Prince Charles promises greener royal lifestyle
B. Better late than never
C. Prince Charles and his concern for the environment
D. The royal family has a role to play in environment protection

Ⅴ. 阅读理解
阅读以下短文，从每一小题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最正确选项。

Yi So-yeon, an engineer from Seoul, returned to Earth on Saturday after 11 days
aboard the International Space Station (ISS), along with Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko and US astronaut Peggy Whitson.
A technical problem turned a routine (常规) return to Earth into a sharper than usual descent (下降) that tested the group members’stamina and courage. They landed in the Kazakh steppes (大草原) about 420km(260 miles) wide of their target. “During the descent there was some kind of fire outside the Soyuz capsule because we were going through the atmosphere,〞 Yi said.
“At first I was afraid, but the two other guys looked okay, so I tried to look okay too.〞
Yi smiled and joked her way through a 10-minute news briefing at Star City, the wooded Sovietera cosmonaut training centre on the edge of Moscow. However, Malenchenko and Whitson looked tired and thin after nearly six months in space. Their answers were short and Whitson needed support to balance when she walked. The 29-year-old Yi has become famous in South Korea since the take-off but she brushed this aside and said she has had little contact with friends or family since returning. “In fact, they are the heroes right now,〞 Yi said, referring to Malenchenko and Whitson. “I’m just a beginner and a little ashamed to say that I am a hero.〞 She did, though, relate a more light-hearted incident on the ISS.
“I sang ‘Fly Me to the Moon’〞 Yi said about the 1950s pop song. “It’s my favorite song from university although at that time I didn’t know I would be an astronaut.〞
The capsule’s so-called “ballistic〞 re-entering made the group members face
twice the usual pull from the centre of the earth. The flames Yi described may have been caused by friction (摩擦) heating the capsule as it fell through the atmosphere. Whitson told reporters that Saturday’s ballistic landing, was irregular but not an emergency.
“The Soyuz has been through its history very reliable and there has obviously been some issue in the last couple of descents which went ballistic, but I’m sure the engineers will determine what the problems are and get them fixed,〞 she said. In October, a Soyuz capsule carrying Malaysia’s first space tourist touched down about 200 km (125 miles) off course in a similar ballistic landing caused by a technical problem.
The Soyuz is the world’s longest- serving manned space capsule. An early version of the craft, the Vostok, carried the first person into space in 1961.
Whitson, 48, has become the American with the longest amount of time in space with 377 days.
