A native of a Pennsylvania College for Women graduate, Carson published “Silent Spring” in 1962, a work that launched the modern environmental movement and led to the creati on of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as well as the passage of our major en vironmental laws.However, there has been a puzzling and troubling trend in recent years: an attack on her theory by conservatives and the agrochemical (农用化学品) industry. For example, Rush Limbaugh gave the following quiz: “Who caused more deaths: Adolf Hitler or RachelCarson?” Limbaugh's answer was Carson, due to the approximately 100 million deaths from malaria (疟疾) since 1972, the year in which the pesticide (杀虫剂）DDT was banned for use in the United States in part as a result of “Silent Spring.”Therefore, on this 40th anniversary of Carson's death, we need to take a scientificlook at the myths that remain about pesticides.Myth 1: Pesticide usage has declined since 1962. In fact, pesticide usage has more than doubled since 1962, and the global pesticide industry currently uses over 2.5 million tons of pesticides each year. Even DDT is still used abroad.Myth 2: Pesticides are safe. In fact, as Carson warned us, these poisonous chemicals are unsafe since they are designed to kill biological organisms, but are often not specific in their targets. Pesticide exposure can cause skin irritation, headache, ca ncer and even death. According to the WHO, over 25 million people a year in developing countries suffer severe acute pesticide poisonings with over 20,000 deaths.Of the 80,000 pesticides and other chemicals in use today, 10 percent are recognized as carcinogens (致癌物质). According to recent studies, brain cancer rates are five times higher in homes with “no-pest” strips and six times higher in homes where pets wear flea collars (杀蚤颈圈). Our homes have pesticide concentrations 10 to 100 times higher than outdoors.So, if Carson were with us today, still battling the agrochemical industry that spent millions of dollars, what would she be advocating? I feel confident that she would be a strong supporter of a new principle of chemical assessmen t.Simply put, this principle requires producers of pesticides to prove that they are safe and necessary before they are put on the market. Our current system puts the burden of proof on government and scientists to prove that a pesticide is dangerous and poses an “unacceptable risk” before it can be pulled f rom the market.57. Limbaugh attacked Carson because he t hought that _____.A. “Silent Spring” had caused in part the 100 million deaths from malariaB. she was supporting the production of poisonous pesticidesC. “Silent Spring” was originated from Hitler’s wr itingsD. she had not cared for the 100 million deaths from malaria58. Which of the following is the content of M yth 1?A. The production of pesticides has doubled during the past 40 years.B. 2.5 million tons of pesticides have been produced since 1962.C. The usage of pesticides has been dropping since 1962.D. Pesticides have become less poisonous since 1962.59. The author mentions “flea collars” in the sixth paragraph to indicate _____.A. pesticides contribute to the development of cancerB. the close connection between them and dog cancer ratesC. the medical effect of flea collars on dogsD. flea collars contribute to high pesticide concentrations indoors60. What is the suggested new practice of chemical assessment?A. Government should prove a pesticide is unsafe.B. Scientists should be responsible for writing assessment reports.C. Producers of pesticides should provide proof of their safety.D. A special committee should be set up for chemical assessment.5、参考答案----------ACDC*******************************************************************结束111. _____ the meeting himself gave them a great deal of encouragement.

The letter was written and given out by Yang Yang，a student majoring in human resourcesat Chongqing University of Science and Technology，who hoped to show his disappointment with job hunting.Yang’s story has caught media attention perhaps because it is similar to those of millions of recent graduates seeking jobs and struggling for survival in the country’s wealthiest cities. They have diplomas，rather than professional skills，and come to big cities in hopes of better lives. only to find low-paying jobs and poor living conditions.They are China’s "ant tribe(蚁族) "，a term coined by sociologist Lian Si from Peking University in his 2009 book, Ant Tribe "They’re so similar to ants. They share small and narrow living areas. They’re intelligent and hard-working，yet nameless and underpaid. "The term also speaks to their helplessness in a world governed by the law of the jungle—only the strongest survive.A survey in Lian’s another book published this year, Ant TribeⅡ，found nearly30 percent of "ants" are graduates of famous universities—almost three times last year’s percentage. Most had degrees in popular majors. In addition，7.2 percent of "ants" have at least a master’s degree compared to 1.6 percent in 2009.An "ant’s"average monthly salary is l，904 yuan，with about 64 percent of them earning less than 2，000 yuan a month.Another survey in the 2010 Annual Report on the Development of Chinese Talent found more than 1 million "ants" live in big cities."Most ants are from rural families or small towns，and their experiences in universities didn’t arm them well enough to fight with competitors in big cities’employment markets. " Professor Zhang Ming at Renmin University of China said.The " ant tribe’s" embarrassing living situations have become a serious social problem，and the government should develop smaller cities to attract more graduates from big cities，Zhang believed.However，"ants" expect more study and training opportunities in big cities，which keeps them positive despite their situations.(1)Yang’s story is introduced in order to______.A. analyze graduates’ difficulties in finding jobsB. lead to the topic of the article—"ant tribe"C. tell readers a story about those big citiesD. show a clever way of dealing with pressure(2)The"ants"fail to find high-paying jobs mainly because______________.A. they have no diplomas from good universitiesB. their majors do not meet the needs of societyC. those from rural areas are not treated equallyD. they do not have necessary professional skills(3)"Ant tribe "members are similar to ants in the following aspects EXCEPT that______.A. they live in narrow and small places in groupsB. they work hard but earn little for survivalC. they are in a world judged by the jungle lawD. they are pleased with being nameless and underpaid(4).Professor Zhang thought "ants" problems could be solved by__________.A. creating more jobs for graduates in big citiesB. developing smaller cities to attract graduatesC. sending graduates to rural areas and small townsD. training graduates to improve their ability(5)By writing this article，the author mainly intends to show __________.A. despite better education.

And the two of them said, "It’s unbelievable!"Nine-year-old Rubina Ali, and Azharuddin Ismail, 10, were living a very different life andapparently loving every minute of it. The two, some of the child stars of the Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire (《贫民窟的百万富翁》)movie, know the Indian slums very well. That was where they grew up, and it is where they will return at the end of their Hollywood dream trip.But before going back home, there was an interview with the host, Ryan Seacrest. During the interview they smiled and repeated their disbelief at what was happening to them. To their surprise, their movie won the first place in the Oscars. When the two received the award, it was late morning in the children’s home city of Mumbai, where their family, friends and many fellow residents of the slums watched the results from Hollywood."I don’t really know what the Oscars are," Rubina’s mother said. "I’m just glad my daughter looks happy, though she told me she missed Indian food.""Our children lead a dog’s life," Rubina’s mother said, pointing at the rubbish everywhere, the open drains (下水道) and the lack of education opportunities.In a few days they will be back in Mumbai and back in the slums. Fortunately, according to media reports, the movie’s director, Danny Boyle, has promised to help the children he chose from the slums go to a proper school.The two don’t need to worry about their daily lives because of the Oscar success of Slumdog Millionaire. But the poverty and lack of education opportunities —the central theme of the movie —is always all around.1. Which of the following is true about the two children?A.

It is a planet on which the continents(洲，大陆) are dwarfed (相形见绌) by the ocean surrounding them and the vastness of the marine (海洋的) area.An astonishing 80 percent of all life on earth is to be found hidden beneath the waves and this vast global ocean drives the natural forces which keep life on our planet. The ocean provides necessary sources of protein, energy, minerals and other products and the rolling ofthe sea across the planet creates over half our oxygen, drives weather systems and natural flows of energy and nutrients around the world, transports water masses many times greater than all the rivers on land combined and keeps the earth suitable for living things to survive. Without the global ocean there would be no life on earth.It is seriously worrying, then, that we are damaging the ocean on a level that is unimaginable to most people.We now know that human activity can have a serious influence on the vital forces of our planet. We have fundamentally changed our global climate and are just beginning to understand the consequences of that.As yet largely unseen, but just as serious, are the influences we are having on the ocean. A healthy ocean has diverse ecosystems and strong and healthy habitats. The actual state of our ocean is a far cry from this natural state.A lot of pressure is being put directly and indirectly on ocean ecosystems by human activities. Consequently ecosystems are breaking down as marine species are in danger of dying out and ocean habitats are being destroyed. With the decrease in their diversity, ocean ecosystems are losing their natural way of recovery.We need to defend the ocean now more than ever, because climate change is having a potentially disastrous impact on the marine world.1、. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. What the ocean looks like.B. What the ocean is made up of.C. What live in the ocean.D. What functions the ocean has.2、. According to the text, the ocean directly provides people with ____.A. water forming riversB. comfortable habitatsC. all the natural forces they needD. driving forces for energy and nutrients3、. It is not realized by many people that we have ____.A. done great harm to the oceanB. benefited greatly from the oceanC. fundamentally changed our global climateD. begun to suffer the consequences of pollution4、. The best title for this text would be ____.A. Protecting Our PlanetB. Defending Our OceanC. Getting to Know Our PlanetD. Make Good Use of Our Ocean（参考答案DDAB）。

Ideally, experiments should play as big a role in the human sciences as they do in the natural sciences; but in practice this is not usually the case. The are at least three reasons for this.1．Human scientists are often trying to make sense of complex real world situations in which it is simply impossible to run controlled experiment.2．The artificiality of some of the experiments that can be conducted may make the behavior of the participants abnormal.3．There are moral reasons for not conducting experiments that have a negative effect on the people who participate in them.Faced with the above difficulties, what are human scientists to do? One solution is to wait for nature to provide the appropriate experimental conditions. We can, for example, learn something about how a normal brain functions by looking at people who have suffered brain damage; and we can gain some understanding into the roles played by genes and the environment by studying twins, who have been separated at birth and brought up in different families. In the case of economics, economic history can provide us with a bank of-admittedly not very well-controlled-experimental data.However, human scientists do not just sit around waiting for natural experiments to arise. They also think of some experiments of their own. Suppose you want to know how a baby sees the world. We cannot, of course, ask the baby since it has not yet learnt to speak. So it might seem that all we can do is guess. People usually won’t change their mind until it was found out that babies tend to stare at surprising things longer than at unsurprising ones. This key understanding was like opening a window on to the developing mind. There was now a way of testing babies’ expectations and getting some idea of how they are six months old, babies can already do the following things: figuring out that objects consist of parts that move together being aware of the difference between living and non-living things and even doing simple arithmetic work.60．What is true about the natural sciences and the human sciences according to this passage?A．Both human scientists and natural scientists can run controlled experiments.B．Experiments done by human scientists and natural scientis ts are artificial.C．Both human and natural science experiments should be of the same importance.D．It’s not moral to conduct human science experiments.61．What do we know about human scientists from this passage?A．They are white coat scientists.B．They have more experimental sources than natural scientists.C．They conduct experiments passively.D．They face more difficulties in carrying out their research.62．Which of the following experiments belongs to human science experiment?A． Vinegar Volcano Vinegar and baking soda make.for a fun and easy science experiment. Try creating a vinegar volcano.B ． Taste Without Smell Put your senses to the testwith this simple experiment that shows theimportance of your sense of smell.C． Lung Function Observe your breath and confirmyour lung volume by completing this experiment.D． Make a Rainbow Use sunlight and water tomake your own rainbow with this cool experimentthat will teach kids how rainbows work while theyenjoy a fun activity63．What does the author tell us in this passage?A．ABCs about the science experiment.B．Some knowledge of science.C．Some differences between the human sciences and the natural sciences.D．The similarity of the natural sciences and the human sciences.4、参考答案---------C DCC*******************************************************结束96.
