few cups of green tea each day may help prevent heart disease,Greek researchers said on Wednesday.A study published in the European Journal of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation showed further evidence of the potential health benefitsfrom a brew already linked to a reduced risk of a range of cancers and other conditions.The study showed that green tea improves blood flow and the ability of arteries to relax,said Charalambos Vlachopoulos,a cardiologist at the Athens Medical School in Greece who worked on the study.Other studies have shown that black tea also has benefits for cardiovascular health.The Greek team said they believed green tea might be even better because it had higher quantities of beneficial compounds called flavonoids(类黄酮)--some of which are lost in the oxidation process that black tea undergoes.Flavonoids are also found in cocoa,tomatoes and grapes."A couple of cups a day would probably be a good dose for people,"Vlachopoulos said."This is the first study to show these effects for green tea."The researchers gave14healthy volunteers either green tea,diluted caffeine or hot water and then measured the function of endothelial cells lining the circulatory system.These cells help relax arteries and ease blood flow."What is important is these effects are evident fairly rapidly,within30 minutes,"Vlachopoulos said.The measurements taken30,90and120minutes following consumption showed an almost immediate benefit among people who had drunk greentea, he said.While the researchers looked only at a short-term impact,Vlachopolous said the team's studies suggest the protection is long lasting."Green tea is consumed less in the Western world than black tea,but it could be more beneficial because of the way it seems to improve(circulatory)function,"he said.1.According to the Greek researchers,having several cups of green tea each day mayhelp prevent heart diseaseA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned2.There are no studies done to prove that black tea is good for cardiovascular healthA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned3.The study shows that green tea and black tea are of the same benefits to cardiovascular healthA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned4.We can find flavonoids in cocoa,tomatoes and green teasA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned5.The healthy volunteers feel comfortable and exciting after drinking green teaA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned6.The researchers have made long-term studies on the impact of green tea to thehealth of human bodyA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned7.Green tea is not as popular as black tea in the worldA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned答案：ABBACBCWhen a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer's claims,the first step is to present thewarranty,or any other records which might help,at the store of purchase.In most cases,this action will produce results.However,if it does not,there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager.In general,the “higher up”his or her complaint,the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case,it is usually settled in the consumer's favor,assuming he or she has a just claim.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible,but if they cannot get to the place of purchase,it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly,and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done,the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong,rather than by making general statements.For example,“The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear”is better than“This stereo does not work”.The store manager may advice the consumer to write to the manufacturer.If so,the consumer should do this,stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible.If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result,the consumer can go to a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumer's rights.1.When a consumer finds that his or her in it,the first thing he or she should do is to____.A)complain personally to the managerB)threaten to take the matter to courtC)write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchaseD)show some written proof of the purchase to the store2.How can a consumer make his or her complaint more effective,according to the passage?A)Explain exactly what is wrong with the item.B)Threaten to take the seller to court.C)Make polite and general statements about the problem.D)Avoid having direct contact with the store manager.3.According to the passage,which of the following is suggested as the last alternative that consumers may turn to?A)Complain to the store manager in person.B)Complain to the manufacturer.C)Write a complaint letter to the manager.D)Turn to the Consumers’Rights Protection Organization for help.4.The phrase“live up to”in this context means____.A)meet the standard ofB)realize the purpose ofC)fulfill the demands ofD)keep the promise of5.The passage tells us____.A)how to settle a consumer’s complaint about a faulty itemB)how to make an effective complaint about a faulty itemC)how to avoid buying a faulty itemD)how to deal with complaints from customers答案：DADABRunning MarathonOvertaken on a hill，three runners in an American marathon race were left behind by a l3-year old boy.(1)Wesley’s father,a doctor from Taiwan now living in Kansas，started jogging，worried about his weight.Wesley，then a child of3and a half，joined him.(2)Ever since then,Wesley became extremely interested in such exercise.

Then the government will help these identified employers find immigrant workers with needed skills or qualifications.The selected foreign employees will be granted "skills and talents"visas,valid for three years.But some concern that it'll cause brain drain in developing countries.1.Many immigrants swarmed into streets in the US in early2006,demanding that they should be treated asA.animals.B.citizens.C.civilians.D.criminals.正确答案:B2.Some Canadian officials want to keep the door open becauseA.Canada is in desperate need of talented people.B.Canada can feed a much larger population.C.Canada is suffering from labor shortage.D.Canada is a multicultural country.正确答案:C3.What has the Spanish Government decided to do?A.Help immigrants find proper jobs.B.Let immigrants freely enter the country.C.Integrate immigrants into the Spanish culture.D.Take tough measures against illegal immigration.正确答案:D4.After France's new immigration and integration law takes effect,it willA.lure overseas students back home.B.undermine the unity of the country.C.drain developing countries of talent.D.induce resentment among the French workers.正确答案:C5.The phrasal verb rounding up in paragraph1could be best replaced byA.capturing.B.encircling.C.separating.D.frightening.正确答案:AThe Cookie ThiefA woman was waiting at an airport one night,with several long hours before her flight.She hunted for a book in the airport shops,bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop.She was engrossed in her book but happened to see that the man sitting beside her,as bold as could be,grabbed a cookie or two from the bag in between,which she tried to ignore to avoid a scene.So she munched the cookies and watched the clock,as the gusty cookie thief diminished her stock.She was getting more irritated as the minutes ticked by,thinking,"If I wasn't so nice,I would blacken his eye."With each cookie she took,he took one too.When only one was left,she wondered what he would do.With a smile on his face,and a nervous laugh,he took the last cookie and broke it in half.He offered her half, as he ate the other.She snatched it from him and thought..,oooh,brother.This guy has some nerve and he's also rude.Why he didn't even show any gratitude!She had never known when she had been so galled and sighed with relief when her flight was called.She gathered her belongings and headed to the gate,refusing to look back at the ingrate thief.She boarded the plane,and sank in her seat.Then she sought her book,which was almost complete.As she reached in her baggage,she gasped with surprise.There was her bag of cookies,in front of her eyes.If mine are here,she moaned in despair, the others were his,and he tried to share.Too late to apologize,she realized with grief,that she was the rude one,the ingrate,the thief.How many times in our lives have we absolutely known that something was a certain way,only to discover later that what we believed to be true...was not?1.A woman was waiting for her flight without lunch.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned2.A man appeared beside the woman and persuaded her to eat some cookies.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned3.The woman thought that the man was trying to steal some cookies form the bag.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned4.The man went away angrily as soon as he finished the last half of the cookie.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentionedd5.When the woman found her cookies again in her luggage,she felt so sorry for mistaking that man for a thief.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned6.Actually the man thought that the woman was homeless and had nothing to eat, so he shared his cookies with her.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned7.From the story we know that sometimes we may discover that the things we are almost certain about are not true.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned答案：CBABACALife Abroad1At first thought,the task of preparing to begin life away from home can seem daunting,if not overwhelming.Being surrounded by an unfamiliar culture, environment and social norms,while being away from family and friends,is something which more and more Chinese students experience in the quest to gain a western education.The following five steps may prove useful in assisting the students in their preparations to study overseas.2There is no substitute for good preparation.Arm yourself with background knowledge by researching information about the country you are going to.Thanks to the Internet,most of this can be found at the click of a button.If you are fortunate enough to make the acquaintance of a foreign native(from the country you wish to study in),be sure to ask them as many questions as possible on things such as good places to live,the cost of transport or important celebrations during the year. The information they provide would most likely not be published in any textbooks or tourist magazines.3Don't underestimate the power of the mind in determining how events turn out. Decide how to approach any situation,before you are placed in it.Positive thoughts about your new circumstances and a positive attitude toward your new home and hostswill bring positive results.Don't lose your chances at being happy and successful in your future study and new life before they have even started.4It's not easy being practical when deciding what to pack and there is always that temptation to bring cherished personal belongings such as books,letters or fluffy(绒毛的)toys.Whatever you bring,make sure that it will be something that you think might help your chances of succeeding.This includes practical items such as study materials,old class notes,favorite textbooks or pens and even the contact details of previous teachers.5Contact people you care about before and after.You are a person with feelings and relocating overseas is a big event.Talk to your close friends and family about your thoughts,dreams and fears for your new venture before you leave and make sure you keep in regular contact after you arrive and during your time away.Sharing the experience always halves any burdens and doubles the excitement of any achievements. Besides,with the ease and convenience of communicating via the Internet nowadays, there is no excuse not to keep in touch!6Learn from all experiences.Value both your achievements and disappointments as learning experiences that can be applied to future situations in life.Value all positive outcomes and more importantly,don't take negative outcomes at face value(票面价值)，Instead,try to see the lessons in mistakes and turn them into opportunities for future improvement.Opportunities are present all the time,but often they go by hundred.Recognizing opportunities is a skill which anyone can learn through practice and patience.1Paragraph22Paragraph33Paragraph44Paragraph6A.Attitude is importantB.Remember your rootsC.Get to know your new home in advanceD.Take opportunities as they comeE.Pack using your head and your heartF.Get enough money when you are abroad5When you want to get information about the place where you go,you6When you are dealing with the new situation,you7When you are packing,you8When you are overseas,for the families and friends at home,you.A.should learn from the experiences and try to grasp the opportunitiesB.should bring something helpful for your chances of successC.should keep in touch with them very oftenD.should take some active thoughts and attitudesE.can find some part-time jobs to get them enough moneyF.can ask a foreign native as many questions as possibleSeahorse FathersIt’s true that male seahorses never play catch with their children or help them with their homework.But they do outdo human dads on one count.(1)The trait is unique in these strange and fascinating fish that inhabit tropical and temperate coastal waters worldwide.Seahorses,which range from less than an inch to a foot in length, have evolved a series of unusual adaptations.(2)The male seahorse has a pouch(育儿袋)on its stomach in which to carry babies as many as2000at a time.A pregnancy lasts from10to25days depending on the species.(3)Eventually they engage in a true courtship dance,which can last as long as eight hours.It ends with the female depositing her eggs in the male's pouch.The eggs hatch in the pouch.(4)When the tiny seahorses are ready to be born the male undergoes muscular contractions to expel the young known as“fly”from the pouch.While seahorse dads go the extra mile to give birth the parents do not provide their tiny offspring with any care or protection after they are born.Infant seahorses are susceptible to death from predators(食肉动物)and being swept into ocean currents where they drift away from feeding grounds rich in microscopic organism.(5)A.The father cares for the young as they grow regulating the water salinity(盐分)in the pouch to prepare them for life in the sea.B.They are such an unusual looking fish that people sometimes don't realize they're real fish.C.Male seahorses undergo pregnancy and give birth to their sons and daughters.D.In spite of all our scientific research,we are only just beginning to understand how the seahorse fathers bear children.E.The reproductive process begins when a male and a female seahorse do daily predawn dances their tails and swimming together.F.Fewer than five infant seahorses in every1000survive to adulthood which helps explain why the litters are so large.正确答案:CBEAFUniversities in BritainThere are more than forty universities in Britain—nearly twice as many as in 1960.During the1960s eight completely new ones more founded,and ten other new ones were created(1)converting ole colleges of technology into universities.In the same period the(2)of students more than doubled,from70,000to more than 200,000.By1973about10%of men aged from eighteen(3)twenty-one were in universities and about5%of women.All the universities are private institutions.Each has its own governing councils,(4)some local businessmen and local politicians as well as a few academics.

1．They have been living under the most appalling conditions for two years.A．dreadfulB．badC．unpleasantD．poor正确答案：A解析：appalling 表示条件之差使人感到吃惊。
dreadful有类似的意义。
如：My financial situation is dreadful．此句改用appalling也是可以的。
bad，unpleasant 和poor都可以跟condition搭配。
因此可以说：They have been riving under bad conditions for two years. They have been living under unpleasant conditions for two years. They have been living under poor conditions for two years. 注意：appalling conditions蕴涵bad(或unpleasant或poor) conditions. 但反向的蕴涵是不成立的。
用句通俗的话说，是appalling conditions必定是bad (或unpleasant或poor) conditions，但是，bad(或unpleasant或poor)conditions未必都是appalling conditions。
也就是说，appalling跟bad，unpleasant和poor在意义上存在着明显的差别。

Ford has now announced it willdo the same.Three years ago, the company introduced the Think City two-seatercar and a golf cart called the THINK or Think Neighbor6. It hoped to sell5,000 cars each year and 10,000 carts. But a lack of demand means onlyabout 1,000 of the cars have been produced, and less than 1,700 carts havebeen sold so far in 2002.“The bottom line7 is we don’t believe that this is the future ofenvironment transport for the mass market,” Tim Holmes of Ford Europesaid on Friday. “We feel we have given electric our best shot8.”The Think City has a range of only about 53 miles and up to a six-hourbattery r echarge time. General Motors’ EVI electric vehicle also had alimited range, of about 100 miles.The very expensive batteries also mean electric cars cost much morethan petrol-powered alternatives. An electric Toyota9 RAV4 EV vehiclecosts over $42,000 in the US, compared with just $17,000 for the petrolversion. Toyota and Nissan10 are now the only major auto manufacturersto produce electric vehicles.“There is a feeling that battery electric has been given its chance.Ford now has to move on with its hybrid program11, and that is what wewill be judging them on,” Roger Higman, a senior transport campaignerat UK Friends of the Earth, told the Environment News Service.Hybrid cars introduced by Toyota and Honda in the past few yearshave sold well. Hybrid engines offer greater mileage than petrol-onlyengines, and the batteries recharge themselves. Ford says it thinks suchvehicles will help it meet planned new guidelines12 on vehicle emissions13in the US.However t it is not yet clear exactly what those guidelines will permit.In June, General Motors and Daimler Chrysler14 won a court injunction,delaying by two years Californian legislation requiring car-makers tooffer 100,000 zero-emission and other low-emission vehicles in the stateby 2003. Car manufacturers hope the legislation will be rewritten to allowfor more low-emission, rather than zero-emission, vehicles.练习:1. What have the Ford motor company, General Motor’s and Honda doneconcerning electric cars?C They have given up producing electric cars.2. According to Tim Holmes of Ford Europe, battery-powered carsB will not be the main transportation vehicles in the future.3. Which auto manufacturers are still producing electric vehicles?A Toyota and Nissan.4. According to the eighth paragraph, hybrid carsC run more miles than petrol driven cars.5. Which of the following is true about the hope of car manufacturersaccording to the last paragraph?D The legislation will allow more low-emission to be produced.第一篇福特放弃电动汽车分析人士评论，福特汽车公司放弃电动汽年的举动有力地证明了这种技术是行不通的。

打印本页[题目答案结合版]字体：大 中 小一、补全短文1、A Memory Drug? IT’S DIFFICULT TO IMAGINE MANY THINGS that people would welcome more than a memory-enhancing drug. ____（1）____ Furthermore, such a drug could help people remember past experiences more clearly and help us acquire new information more easily for school and at work. As scientists learn more about memory, we are closing in on this tantalizing goal. Some of the most exciting evidence comes from research that has built on earlier findings linking LTP and memory to identify a gene that improves memory in mice. ____（2）____ Mice bred to have extra copies of this gene showed more activity in their NMDA receptors, more LTP, and improved performance on several different memory tasks — learning a spatial layout, recognizing familiar objects, and recalling a fear-inducing shock. If these basic insights about genes, LTP, and the synaptic basis of memory can be translated to people — and that remains to be seen — they could pave the way for memory-enhancing treatments. ____（3）____ As exciting as this may sound, it also raises troubling issues. Consider the potential educational implications of memory-enhancing drugs. If memory enhancers were available, children who used them might be able to acquire and retain extraordinary amounts of information, allowing them to progress far more rapidly in school than they could otherwise. How well could the brain handle such an onslaught of information? What happens to children who don’t have access to the latest memory enhancers? Are they left behind in school — and as a result handicapped later in life? ____（4）____ Imagine that you are applying for a job that requires a good memory, such as a manager at a technology company or a sales position that requires remembering customers’ names as well as the attributes of different products and services. Would you take a memory-enhancing drug to increase your chances of landing the position? Would people who felt uncomfortable taking such a drug find themselves cut out of lucrative career opportunities? Memory drugs might also help take the sting out of disturbing memories that we wish we could forget but can’t. The 2004 hit movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind told the story of a young man seeking just such freedom from the painful memories of a romantic breakup. As you will see in the section on persistence later in the chapter, emotionally arousing events often create intrusive memories, and researchers have already muted emotional memories with drugs that block the action of key hormones. Should emergency workers who must confront horrifying accident scenes that can burden them with persisting memories be provided with such drugs? Should such drugs be given to rape victims who can’t forget the trauma? Memory drugs might provide some relief to such individuals. But could they also interfere with an individual’s ability to assimilate and come to terms with a difficult experience?____（5）____<1> 、A、Like steroids for bulking up the muscles, these drugs would bulk up memory.B、A memory enhancer could help eliminate forgetting associated with aging and disease.C、What are the potential implications of memory-enhancing drugs for the workplace?D、We may find ourselves struggling with these kinds of questions in the not-too-distant future.E、There is a pill that you could take every day to allow you to remember everything.F、The gene makes a protein that assists the NMDA2 receptor, which plays an important role in long-term memory by helping to initiate LTP.<2> 、A、Like steroids for bulking up the muscles, these drugs would bulk up memory.B、A memory enhancer could help eliminate forgetting associated with aging and disease.C、What are the potential implications of memory-enhancing drugs for the workplace?D、We may find ourselves struggling with these kinds of questions in the not-too-distant future.E、There is a pill that you could take every day to allow you to remember everything.F、The gene makes a protein that assists the NMDA2 receptor, which plays an important role in long-term memory by helping to initiate LTP.<3> 、A、Like steroids for bulking up the muscles, these drugs would bulk up memory.B、A memory enhancer could help eliminate forgetting associated with aging and disease.C、What are the potential implications of memory-enhancing drugs for the workplace?D、We may find ourselves struggling with these kinds of questions in the not-too-distant future.E、There is a pill that you could take every day to allow you to remember everything.F、The gene makes a protein that assists the NMDA2 receptor, which plays an important role in long-term memory by helping to initiate LTP.<4> 、A、Like steroids for bulking up the muscles, these drugs would bulk up memory.B、A memory enhancer could help eliminate forgetting associated with aging and disease.C、What are the potential implications of memory-enhancing drugs for the workplace?D、We may find ourselves struggling with these kinds of questions in the not-too-distant future.E、There is a pill that you could take every day to allow you to remember everything.F、The gene makes a protein that assists the NMDA2 receptor, which plays an important role in long-term memory by helping to initiate LTP.<5> 、A、Like steroids for bulking up the muscles, these drugs would bulk up memory.B、A memory enhancer could help eliminate forgetting associated with aging and disease.C、What are the potential implications of memory-enhancing drugs for the workplace?D、We may find ourselves struggling with these kinds of questions in the not-too-distant future.E、There is a pill that you could take every day to allow you to remember everything.F、The gene makes a protein that assists the NMDA2 receptor, which plays an important role in long-term memory by helping to initiate LTP.2、How Deafness Makes It Easier to Hear Most people think of Beethoven’s hearing loss as an obstacle to composing music. However, he produced his most powerful works in the last decade of his life when he was completely deaf. This is one of the most glorious cases of the triumph of will over adversity, but his biographer, Maynard Solomon, takes a different view. ____（1）____. In his deaf world Beethoven could experiment, free from the sounds of the outside world, free to create newforms and harmonies.Hearing loss does not seem to affect the musical ability of musicians who become deaf. They continue to “hear” music with as much, or greater, accuracy than if they were actually hearing it being played. ____（2）____. He described a fascinating phenomenon that happened within three months:“my former musical experiences began to play back to me. I couldn’t differentiate between what I heard and real hearing. After many years, it is still rewarding to listen to these play backs, to ‘ hear’ music which is new to me and to find many quiet accompaniments for all of my moods. ” How is it that the world we see, touch, hear, and smell is both “out there” and at the same time within us? There is no better example of this connection between external stimulus and internal perception than the cochlear implant. ____（3）____. However, it might be possible to use the brain’s remarkable power to make sense of the electrical signals the implant produces. When Michael Edgar first “switched on” his cochlear implant, the sounds he heard were not at all clear. Gradually, with much hard work, he began to identify everyday sounds. For example, “The insistent ringing of the telephone became clear almost at once.” The primary purpose of the implant is to allow communication with others. When people spoke to Eagar, he heard their voices “coming through like a long-distance telephone call on a poor connection.” But when it came to his beloved music, the implant was of no help.____（4）____. He said, “I play the piano as I used to and hear it in my head at the same time. The movement of my fingers and the feel of the keys give added ‘clarity’ to hearingin my head.” Cochlear implants allow the deaf to hear again in a way that is not perfect, but which can change their lives. ____（5）____.

Did you ever see the movie Honey, I Shrunk the Kids? It’s about a wacky dad (who’s also a scientist) who accidentally shrinks his kids with his homemade miniaturizing invention. Oops! ___（1）______. For older people, shrinking isn’t that dramatic or sudden at all. It takes place over years and may add up to only an inch or so off of their adult height (maybe a little more, maybe less). And this kind of shrinking can’t be magically reversed, there are things that can be done to stop it or slow it down. ____（2）_____. There are a few reasons. As people get older, they generally lose some muscle and fat from their bodies as part of the natural aging process. Gravity (the force that keeps your feet on the ground) takes hold, and the bones in the spine, called vertebrae, may break down or degenerate, and start to collapse into one another. ____（3）_____. But perhaps the most common reason why some older people shrink is because of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis occurs when too much spongy bone tissue (which is found inside of most bones) is broken down and not enough new bone material is made. ____（4）______. Bones become smaller and weaker and can easily break if someone with osteoporosis is injured. Older people —especially women, who generally have smaller and lighter bones to begin with — are more likely to develop osteoporosis. As years go by, a person with osteoporosis shrinks a little bit. Did you know that every day you do a shrinking act, too? You aren’t as tall at the end of the day as you are at the beginning. That’s because as the day goes on, water in the disks of the spine gets compressed (squeezed) due to gravity, making you just a tiny bit shorter. Don’t worry, though. ____（5）______.<1> 、A、They end up pressing closer together, which makes a person lose a little height and becomeshorter.B、Once you get a good night’s rest, your body recovers, and the next morning, you’re standing tall again!C、Over time, bone is said to be lost because it’s not being replaced.D、Luckily, there are things that people can do to prevent shrinking.E、The kids spend the rest of the movie as tiny people who are barely visible while trying to get back to their normal size.F、But why does shrinking happen at all?<2> 、A、They end up pressing closer together, which makes a person lose a little height and become shorter.B、Once you get a good night’s rest, your body recovers, and the next morning, you’re standing tall again!C、Over time, bone is said to be lost because it’s not being replaced.D、Luckily, there are things that people can do to prevent shrinking.E、The kids spend the rest of the movie as tiny people who are barely visible while trying to get back to their normal size.F、But why does shrinking happen at all?<3> 、A、They end up pressing closer together, which makes a person lose a little height and become shorter.B、Once you get a good night’s rest, your body recovers, and the next morning, you’re standing tall again!C、Over time, bone is said to be lost because it’s not being replaced.D、Luckily, there are things that people can do to prevent shrinking.E、The kids spend the rest of the movie as tiny people who are barely visible while trying to get back to their normal size.F、But why does shrinking happen at all?<4> 、A、They end up pressing closer together, which makes a person lose a little height and become shorter.B、Once you get a good night’s rest, your body recovers, and the next morning, you’re standing tall again!C、Over time, bone is said to be lost because it’s not being replaced.D、Luckily, there are things that people can do to prevent shrinking.E、The kids spend the rest of the movie as tiny people who are barely visible while trying to get back to their normal size.F、But why does shrinking happen at all?<5> 、A、They end up pressing closer together, which makes a person lose a little height and become shorter.B、Once you get a good night’s rest, your body recovers, and the next morning, you’re standing tall again!C、Over time, bone is said to be lost because it’s not being replaced.D、Luckily, there are things that people can do to prevent shrinking.E、The kids spend the rest of the movie as tiny people who are barely visible while trying toget back to their normal size.F、But why does shrinking happen at all?4、The Bilingual Brain When Karl Kim immigrated to the United States from Korea’s a teenager, he had a hard time learning English. Now he speaks it fluently, and he had a unique opportunity to see how our brains adapt to a second language. As a graduate student, Kim worked in the lab of Joy Hirsch, a neuroscientist in New York. ____（1）____ They found evidence that children and adults don’t use the same parts of the brain when they learn a second language. The researchers used an instrument called an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scanner to study the brains of two groups of bilingual people. ____（2）____. The other consisted of people who, like Kim, learned their second language later in life. People from both groups were placed inside the MRI scanner. This allowed Kim and Hirsch to see which parts of the brain were getting more blood and were more active. They asked people from both groups to think about what they had done the day before, first in one language and then the other. They couldn’t speak out loud because any movement would disrupt the scanning. Kim and Hirsch looked specifically at two language centers in the brain – Broca’s area, which is believed to control speech production, and Wernicke’s area, which is thought to process meaning. Kim and Hirsch found that both groups of people used the same part of Wernicke’s area no matter what language they were speaking. ____（3）____ People who learned a second language as children used the same region in Broca’s areafor both their first and second languages. People who learned a second language later in life used a different part of Broca’s area for their second language. ____（4）____ Hirsch believes that when language is first being programmed in young children, their brains may mix the sounds and structures of all languages in the same area. Once that programming is complete, the processing of a new language must be taken over by a different part of the brain. A second possibility is simply that we may acquire languages differently as children than we do as adults. Hirsch thinks that mothers teach a baby to speak by using different methods involving touch, sound, and sight. ____（5）____<1> 、A、But their use of Broca’s area was different.B、One group consisted of those who had learned a second language as children.C、How does Hirsch explain this difference?D、We use special parts of the brain for language learning.E、And that is very different from learning a language in a high school or college class.F、Their work led to an important discovery.<2> 、A、But their use of Broca’s area was different.B、One group consisted of those who had learned a second language as children.C、How does Hirsch explain this difference?D、We use special parts of the brain for language learning.E、And that is very different from learning a language in a high school or college class.F、Their work led to an important discovery.<3> 、A、But their use of Broca’s area was different.B、One group consisted of those who had learned a second language as children.C、How does Hirsch explain this difference?D、We use special parts of the brain for language learning.E、And that is very different from learning a language in a high school or college class.F、Their work led to an important discovery.<4> 、A、But their use of Broca’s area was different.B、One group consisted of those who had learned a second language as children.C、How does Hirsch explain this difference?D、We use special parts of the brain for language learning.E、And that is very different from learning a language in a high school or college class.F、Their work led to an important discovery.<5> 、A、But their use of Broca’s area was different.B、One group consisted of those who had learned a second language as children.C、How does Hirsch explain this difference?D、We use special parts of the brain for language learning.E、And that is very different from learning a language in a high school or college class.F、Their work led to an important discovery.5、Little Lady Starts Big War Harriet Beecher Stowe had poured her heart into her anti-slavery（反对奴隶制度）book Uncle Tom’s Cabin. ____（1）_____The publisher was so doubtful that he wanted her to split the publishing costs with him, and all she hoped was that it would make enough money for her to buy a new silk dress. But when the first 5,000 copies were printed in 1852, they sold out in two days. In a year the book had sold 300,000 copies in the United States and 150,000 in England. _____（2）____Within six months of its release, a play was made from the book which ran 350 performances in New York and remained America’s most popular play for 80 years. It might appear that Uncle Tom’s Cabins was universally popular, but this was certainly not true. Many people during those pre-Civil War days - particularly defenders of the slavery system -condemned it as false propaganda（宣传）and poorly written melodrama（传奇剧作品）. Harriet did have strong religious views against slavery（When asked how she came to write the book, she replied: “God wrote it.”）, and she tried to convince people slavery was wrong, so perhaps the book could be considered propaganda. ____（3）_____ Though she was born in Connecticut in 1832, as a young woman she moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, when her father accepted the presidency（任期）of newly founded Lane Theological Seminary（神学院）. Ohio was a free state, but just across the Ohio River in Kentucky,Harriet saw slavery in action. She lived 18 years in Cincinnati, marrying Calvin Stowe, professor of a college. ____（4）_____ ___（5）_____Today some historians（历史学家）think that it helped bring on the American Civil War. In fact, when Abraham Lincoln met Harriet at the White House during the Civil War, he said, “So, this is the little lady who started this big war.”<1> 、______A、She had read a lot about the slavery system.B、Its vast influence strengthened the anti-slavery movement and angered defenders of the slave system.C、But if so, it was true propaganda, because it accurately described the evils of slavery.D、For a while it outsold every book in the world, except the Bible.E、But neither she nor her first publisher thought it would be a big success.F、In 1851, Harriet Beecher Stowe began her book.<2> 、______A、She had read a lot about the slavery system.B、Its vast influence strengthened the anti-slavery movement and angered defenders of the slave system.C、But if so, it was true propaganda, because it accurately described the evils of slavery.D、For a while it outsold every book in the world, except the Bible.E、But neither she nor her first publisher thought it would be a big success.F、In 1851, Harriet Beecher Stowe began her book.<3> 、______A、She had read a lot about the slavery system.B、Its vast influence strengthened the anti-slavery movement and angered defenders of the slave system.C、But if so, it was true propaganda, because it accurately described the evils of slavery.D、For a while it outsold every book in the world, except the Bible.E、But neither she nor her first publisher thought it would be a big success.F、In 1851, Harriet Beecher Stowe began her book.<4> 、______A、She had read a lot about the slavery system.B、Its vast influence strengthened the anti-slavery movement and angered defenders of the slave system.C、But if so, it was true propaganda, because it accurately described the evils of slavery.D、For a while it outsold every book in the world, except the Bible.E、But neither she nor her first publisher thought it would be a big success.F、In 1851, Harriet Beecher Stowe began her book.<5> 、______A、She had read a lot about the slavery system.B、Its vast influence strengthened the anti-slavery movement and angered defenders of the slave system.C、But if so, it was true propaganda, because it accurately described the evils of slavery.D、For a while it outsold every book in the world, except the Bible.E、But neither she nor her first publisher thought it would be a big success.F、In 1851, Harriet Beecher Stowe began her book.6、The First Four Minutes When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? During their first four minutes together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. In his book, "Contact: The first four minutes," he offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendships:__（1）__. A lot of people's whole lives would change if they did just that. You may have noticed that average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he as just met.__（2）__. If anyone has ever done this to you, you probably did not like himvery much. When we are introduced to new people, the author suggests, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. In general, he says, "People like people who like themselves." On the other hand, we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves. It is important to appear interested and sympathetic, realizing that the other person has his own needs, fears, and hopes. Hearing such advice, one might say, "But I'm not a friendly, self-confident person.That's not my nature. It would be dishonest for me to at that way." __（3）__. We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality. "It is like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than the old one." But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that way? Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin, "total honest" is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything, and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complain about one's health or to mention faults one finds in other people. It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one's opinions and impressions. __（4）__. For a husband and wife or a parent and child, problems often arise duringtheir first four minutes together after they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that these first few minutes together be treated with care. If there are unpleasant matters to be discussed, they should be dealt with later. The author says that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. __（5）__ that is at least as important as how much we know.<1> 、______A、In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits.B、Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends.C、In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people.D、Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes.E、He keeps looking over the other person's shoulder, as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room.F、He is eager to make friends with everyone.<2> 、______A、In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits.B、Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends.C、In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people.D、Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes.E、He keeps looking over the other person's shoulder, as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room.F、He is eager to make friends with everyone.<3> 、______A、In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits.B、Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends.C、In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people.D、Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes.E、He keeps looking over the other person's shoulder, as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room.F、He is eager to make friends with everyone.<4> 、______A、In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits.B、Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends.C、In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people.D、Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes.E、He keeps looking over the other person's shoulder, as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room.F、He is eager to make friends with everyone.<5> 、______A、In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits.B、Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends.C、In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people.D、Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes.E、He keeps looking over the other person's shoulder, as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room.F、He is eager to make friends with everyone.7、Financial Risks Several types of financial risk are encountered in international marketing; the major problems include commercial, political, and foreign exchange risk. __（1）__They include solvency, default, or refusal to pay bills. The major risk, however, is competition which can only be dealt with through consistently effective management and marketing.__（2）__Such risk is encountered when a controversy arises about the quality of goods delivered, a dispute over contract terms, or any other disagreement over which payment is withheld. One company, for example, shipped several hundred tons of dehydrated potatoes to a distributor in Germany.__（3）__The alternatives for the exporter were reducing the price, reselling the potatoes, or shipping them home again, each involving considerable cost. Political risk relates to the problems of war or revolution, currency inconvertibility,。

They may use 2 currencies, but these countries, and probably all countries, still have one thing in common1: Germs on the banknotes.Scientists have been studying the germs on money for well over2 100 years. At the turn of the 20th 3 , some researchers began to suspect that germs living on money could spread disease.Most studies of germy money have looked at the germs on the currency 4 one country. In a new study, Frank Vriesekoop3 and other researcherscompared the germ populations found on bills of different 5 .Vriesekoop3 is a microbiologist at the University of Ballarat in Australia4. He led the study, which compared the germ populations found on money 6 from 10 nations. The scientists studied1,280 banknotes in total; all came from places where people buy food, like supermarkets street vendors and cafes, 7 those businesses often rely on cash.Overall, the Australian dollars hosted the fewest live bacteria ---- no more than 10 per square centimeter. Chinese yuan had the most ---- about 100 per square centimeter. Most of the germs on money probably would not cause harm.What we call “paper” money usually isn't made from paper. The U. S. dollar, for example, is printed on fabric that is mostly 8 .Different countries may use different 9 to print their money. Some of the currencies studied by Vriesekoop andhis 10 such as the American dollar were made from cotton. Others were made from polymers.The three 11 with the lowest numbers of bacteria were all printed on polymers. They included the Australian dollar, the New Zealand dollar and some Mexican pesos.The other currencies were printed on fabric made 12 of cotton. Fewer germs lived on the polymer notes. This connection suggests that 13 have a harder time staying alive on polymer surfaces. Scientists need to do more studies to understand how germs live on money-----and whether or not we need to be concerned. Vnesekoop is now starting a study that will 14 the amounts of time bacteria can stay alive on different types of bills.Whatever Vriesekoop finds, the fact remains: Paper money harbors germs We should wash our 15 after touching it; after all5, you never know where your money 's been.

When he was a college student, doctors discoveredthat he had a rare disease. This disease causes a gradual disintegration(分解)of thenerve cells in the brain cells that regulate voluntary muscle activity. Death almost always occurs within two or three years.Today Stephen Hawking cannot walk or speak. He cannot move his arms or his head. He cannot taste or smell anything. And yet this man is Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University, a position held by the famous scientist Isaac Newton in 1669.Hawking is often described as the greatest scientist since Albert Einstein, but to the world outside science, he is also known as the man who made scientific theory understandable. His book, A Brief History of Time, has sold over eight million copies.He says that since he does not have to think about his body or do any of the things other men have to worry about, such as washing the car or working in the yard, he can dedicate all of his time to thinking. This puts him in the perfect position to find the answer to the question that he has dedicated his life to. His question is: Is there a complete theory of the universe and everything in it?Despite his tremendous physical disabilities, he has already made some very important discoveries about the origin of the universe, how the universe holds together, and how it will probably end. He has also been able to explain the secrets of“black holes”in space. Now he is looking for a set of rules that everything in our universe must obey. He calls it the Theory of Everything. He thinks that someone will have found the answer within the next 20 years.If Stephen Hawking is able to find his Theory of Everything, he will have given the world the opportunity to understand things that will change the whole nature of science and probably also the way we live.16.Stephen Hawking will be 50 years old by 2017.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned参考答案：BIf Stephen Hawking lives until the year 2017, he will have lived more than 50 years longer than his doctors expected.17.Stephen Hawking suffers from a rare brain disease.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned参考答案：A18.Stephen Hawking is Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned参考答案：A19.A Brief History of Time is very difficult for students to understand.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned参考答案：B20.Stephen Hawking has much time to think because he doesn't have to work.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned参考答案：A21.Stephen Hawking has spent around ten years explaining the secrets ofA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned参考答案：C22.The Theory of Everything is about the rules that everything in the universe follows.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned参考答案：A三、概括大意与完成句子Geothermal(地热)Energy1 Since heat naturally moves from hotter regions to cooler ones, the heat fromthe earth's center flows outwards towards the surface. In this way, it transfers to thenext layer of rock. If the temperature is high enough, some of this rock melts andforms magma(岩浆). The magma ascends in its turn towards the earth's surface. Itoften remains well below the earth's surface, creating vast areas of hot rock. In suchregions, there are deep cracks, which allow rainwater to descend underground. Someof the heated rainwater travels back up to the earth's surface where it will appear as ahot spring. However, if this ascending hot water reaches a layer of impermeable(不可渗透的)rock, it remains trapped, forming a geothermal reservoir. If geothermalreservoirs are close enough to the surface, they can be reached by drilling wells. Hotwater and steam shoot up the wells naturally, and can be used to produce electricityin geothermal power plants.2.A few geothermal power plants depend on dry-stem reservoirs which producesteam but little or no water. In these cases, the steam is piped up directly to providethe power to spin a turbine generator. The first geothermal power plant, constructedat Lardarello in Italy, was of this type, and is still producing electricity today.3.Most currently operating geothermal power plants are either "flash" steamplants or binary(双重的)plants. Flash plants produce mainly hot water ranging in temperature from 300°to 700°Fahrenheit. This water is passed through one or two separators where released from the pressure of the underground reservoir, it"flashes" or boils into steam Again, the force of this steam provides the energy to spinthe turbine and produce electricity. The geothermal water and steam are thenreinjected directly back down into the earth to maintain the volume and pressure ofthe reservoir. Gradually they will be reheated and can then be used again.4.A reservoir with temperatures below 300°Fahrenheit is not hot enough to flash steam but it can still be used to generate electricity in binary fluid. The steam fromthis is used to power the turbines. As in the flash steam plant, the geothermal water is recycled back into the reservoir.23.Paragraph1_____A.Dry steam plantsB.Binary plantsC.Origin of geothermal energyD.Generation of electricityE.Flash steam plantsF.Recyclable water and steam 参考答案：C24Paragraph2_____A.Dry steam plantsB.Binary plantsC.Origin of geothermal energyD.Generation of electricityE.Flash steam plantsF.Recyclable water and steam 参考答案：A25Paragraph3_____A.Dry steam plantsB.Binary plantsC.Origin of geothermal energyD.Generation of electricityE.Flash steam plantsF.Recyclable water and steam 参考答案：E26Paragraph4_____A.Dry steam plantsB.Binary plantsC.Origin of geothermal energyD.Generation of electricityE.Flash steam plantsF.Recyclable water and steam参考答案：F27.A geothermal reservoir is formed when hot water is trapped under _____.A.the energy to turn a turbineB.impermeable rockC.one or two separatorsD.turbine operatorE.little or no waterF.hot springs参考答案：B28.A dry-steam reservoir produces steam with _____.A.the energy to turn a turbineB.impermeable rockC.one or two separatorsD.turbine operatorE.little or no waterF.hot springs参考答案：E29.Flash plants produce hot water through _____.A.the energy to turn a turbineB.impermeable rockC.one or two separatorsD.turbine operatorE.little or no waterF.hot springs参考答案：C30.In a binary plant, the heat of the geothermal water can be converted into _____.A.the energy to turn a turbineB.impermeable rockC.one or two separatorsD.turbine operatorE.little or no waterF.hot springs参考答案：A四、阅读理解Smart Windows1.Windows not only let light in to cut down an electricity use for lighting, but the light coming through the window also provides heat. However, windows are not something people typically associate with being a cutting edge technology. Researchers are now working on new technologies that enable a window to quickly change from clear to dark and anywhere in between easily.2."It took us a long time to figure out what a window really is," says ClaesGranqvist. He's a professor of solid-state physics at Uppsala University in Sweden. "It's contact with the outside world. You have to have visual contact with the surrounding world to feel well." So, windows and natural light are important for improving the way people feel when they're stuck indoors.3.Yet, windows are the weak link in a building when it comes to energy and temperature control. In the winter, cold air leaks in. When it's hot and sunny, sunlight streams in. All of this sunlight carries lots of heat and energy. And all of this extra heat forces people to turn on their air conditioners. Producing cold air, which can feel so refreshing(使人清新的), actually suck up enormous amounts of electricity in buildings around the world.4.Windows have been a major focus of energy research for a long time. Over theyears, scientists have come up with a variety of strategies for coating, glazing(用玻璃覆盖), and layering windows to make them more energy efficient. Smart windows go astep further. They use some chromogenic(发色的)technologies involving changes of color.5.Electrochromic(电致色的) windows use electricity to change color. For example,a sheet of glass coated with thin layers of tungsten oxide(氧化钨)works a bit like a battery. Tungsten oxide is clear when an electric charge is applied and dark when thecharge is removed, that is, when the amount of voltage(电压)is decreased, the window darkens until it's completely dark after all electricity is taken away. So applying avoltage determines whether the window looks clear or dark.6.One important feature that makes a smart window so smart is that it has a sortof "memory". All it takes is a small shock of voltage to turn the window from one stateto the other. Then, it stays that way. Transitions take from 10 seconds to a fewminutes, depending on the size of the window. The development of smart windowscould mean that massive air conditioning systems may no longer need. "In thefuture," Granqvist says, "our buildings may look different."31.Which of the following values of windows is NOT mentioned?A.They let light in to brighten the house.B.They let light in to heat the house.C.They let us have visual contact with the surrounding world.D.They let us think about the outside world.参考答案：D32.The expression "when it comes to" in Paragraph 3 is used to_____.A.signal the arrival of a guest.B.indicate the recovery of consciousness.C.show our understanding of something.D.introduce a new aspect of a topic.参考答案：D33.According to Paragraph 4, smart windows are the windows that_____.A.arecosted.B.are glazed.C.have several layers.D.can change color.参考答案：D34.Which paragraph gives an account of the way electrochromic windows changing?A.Paragraph 5.B.Paragraph 3.C.Paragraph 4.D.Paragraph 6.参考答案：A35.A smart windows is smart mainly because_____.A.it can change its size.B.it can change its structure.C.it can change the voltage of electricity.D.it has a sort of memory.参考答案：DSports Star Yao MingIf Yao Ming is not the biggest sports star in the world, he is almost certainly thetallest. At 2.26m, he is the tallest player in the National Basketball Association (NBA)and holds the record as the most towering Olympian ever to compete in the Games.But what really stands out about the giant center is his celebrity(名气). Few, if any, Chinese athletes are as well-known as Yao around the world. People across the globeare fascinated with Yao, not only for his basketball prowess(杰出的才能)also for being a symbol of international commerce.When Yao joined the Houston Rockets as the No.1 pick in the 2002 NBA draft(选抜)，he was the first international player ever to be selected first. His assets on thecourt are clear enough—no NBA player of his size has ever possessed his mobility, so he is a handful(难对付的人)for opponents on either end of the court. But what makes Yao invaluable to the Rockets organization is his role as a global citizen and as abridge to millions of potential basketball fans in China.When it was announced in February that Yao would miss the rest of the NBA season and possibly the Olympics with a stress fracture(骨折)in his left foot, a collective shudder(震动)spread across China. After considerable debate and discussion, Yao opted to get his foot surgically treated in an operation that placedseveral tiny screws across the bone, to offer his overburdened foot more support. The surgery was a success, and though the estimated four-month recovery period willleave him little time to prepare with Team China, Yao has vowed to be ready for the Beijing Olympics.Yao wrapped up a 10-day trip to China, where he underwent a series oftraditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatments, hoping to accelerate his recovery process Western experts are generally skeptical of TCM's benefits although new research from the University of Rochester suggests that a certain compound derivedfrom shellfish may indeed stimulate bone repair."There is no reason to dismiss TCM," Yao told a press conference in Beijing." It's been used in our country for thousands of years. I don't think that it's short on science."36.The word "towering" in Paragraph 1 means_____rge.B.fat.C.tall.D.great.参考答案：C37.Opponents find it very difficult to control Yao Ming because of his_____A.mobility.B.assault.C.defense.D.celebrity.参考答案：A38.Yao Ming had to undergo a series of TCM treatments because_____A.his right foot had been hurting.B.he wanted to make a more rapid recovery.C.the surgical operation had been a failure.D.he couldn't afford all the medical expenses.参考答案：B39.Which statement about Yao Ming is NOT true?A.He missed the Athens Olympics.B.He is an NBA player.C.He fractured his left foot.D.He is an international figure.参考答案：A40.In general, the Western experts' attitude towards TCM is_____.A.indifferent.B.positive.C.negative.D.doubtful.参考答案：DCan you hear This?When something creates a sound wave in a room or an auditorium, listeners hear the sound wave directly from the source. They also hear the reflections as the sound bounces off the walls, floor, and ceiling. These are called the reflected wave or reverberant(反射的)sound, which can be heard even after the sound is no longer coming from the source.The reverberation time of an auditorium is determined by the volume or interior size of the auditorium. It is also determined by how well or how poorly the walls, ceiling, floor, and contents of the room (including the people) absorb sound. There isno ideal reverberation time. Because each use of an auditorium calls for different reverberation. Speech needs to be understood clearly: therefore rooms used fortalking must have a short reverberation time. The full-sound performance of musicsuch as Wagner operas or Mahler symphonies should have a long reverberation time.The light, rapid musical passages of Bach or Mozart need a reverberation timesomewhere between.Acoustic problems often are caused by poor auditorium design. Smooth, curved reflecting surfaces create large reflections. Parallel(平行的)walls reflect sound back and forth, creating a rapid, repetitive pulsing effect. Large pillars(柱)and corners can cause acoustic shadows as the sound waves try to pass around the object. Some ofthese problems can be solved by using absorbers and reflectors to change thereverberation time of a room. For example, hanging large reflectors, called clouds,over the performers will allow some sound frequencies to reflect and others to passto achieve a pleasing mixture of sound.41.This passage is mainly about_____A.sound waves and their effects.B.the types of music orchestras play.C.walls of an auditorium.D.the design of an auditorium.参考答案：D42.Wagner operas and Mahler symphonies with full-sound effect have_____A.a short reverberation time.B.an intermediate reverberation time.C.no reverberation time.D.a long reverberation time.参考答案：D43.This passage suggests that a good auditorium should_____A.get rid of all reflections.B.nothave absorbers.C.achieve a pleasing mixture of sound.D.have smooth surfaces.参考答案：Drge pillars and corners may_____A.make sound rich and full.B.be cures for sound problems.C.be sources of sound problems.D.function as effectively as clouds.参考答案：C45.The word "acoustic" in the last paragraph has something to do with_____A.performance.B.sound.C.audience.D.weather.参考答案：B五、补全短文What Is a Dream?For centuries, people have wondered about the strange things that they dream about. Some psychologists say that this nighttime activity of the mind has no special meaning. Others, however, think that dreams are an important part of our lives. In fact, many experts believe that dreams can tell us about a person's mind and emotions.Before modern times, many people thought that dreams contained messages from God. _____(46)The Austrian psychologist, Sigmund Freud, was probably the first person to study dreams scientifically. In his famous book, The interpretation of Dreams (1900), Freud wrote that dreams are an expression of a person's wishes. He believed that dreams allow people to express the feelings, thoughts, and fears that they are afraid to express in real life.The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung was once a student of Freud's. Jung, however, had a different idea about dreams. Jung believed that the purpose of a dream was tocommunicate a message to the dreamer._____(47)For example, people who dream about falling may learn that they have too high an opinion of themselves. On theother hand, people who dream about being heroes may learn that they think too littleof themselves.Modern-day psychologists continue to develop theories about dreams. For example, psychologist William Domhoff from the University of California, Santa Cruz, believes that dreams are tightly linked to a person's daily life, thoughts, and behavior. _____(48)Domhoff believes that there is a connection between dreams and age. His research shows that children do not dream as much as adults. According to Domhoff, dreaming is a mental skill that needs time to develop.He has also found a link between dreams and gender. His studies show that the dreams of men and women are different. _____(49)This is not true of women's dreams. Domhoff found this gender difference in the dreams of people from 11 culturesaround the world, including both modern and traditional ones.Can dreams help us understand ourselves? Psychologists continue to try to answer this question in different ways._____(50)The dream may have meaning, but itdoes not mean that some terrible event will actually take place. It's important to remember that the world of dreams is not the real world.46._____A.Forexample, the people in men's dreams are often other men, and the dreams often involve fighting.B.Men and women dream about different things.C.A criminal, for example, might dream about crime.D.However, one thing they agree on this: If you dream that something terrible is going to occur, you shouldn't panic.E.It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams in a scientific way.F.He thought people could learn more about themselves by thinking about their dreams.参考答案：E47._____A.Forexample, the people in men's dreams are often other men, and the dreams often involve fighting.B.Men and women dream about different things.C.A criminal, for example, might dream about crime.D.However, one thing they agree on this: If you dream that something terrible is going to occur, you shouldn't panic.E.It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams in a scientific way.F.He thought people could learn more about themselves by thinking about their dreams.参考答案：F48._____A.Forexample, the people in men's dreams are often other men, and the dreams often involve fighting.B.Men and women dream about different things.C.A criminal, for example, might dream about crime.D.However, one thing they agree on this: If you dream that something terrible is going to occur, you shouldn't panic.E.It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams in a scientific way.F.He thought people could learn more about themselves by thinking about their dreams.参考答案：C49._____A.Forexample, the people in men's dreams are often other men, and the dreams often involve fighting.B.Men and women dream about different things.C.A criminal, for example, might dream about crime.D.However, one thing they agree on this: If you dream that something terrible is going to occur, you shouldn't panic.E.It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams in a scientific way.F.He thought people could learn more about themselves by thinking about their dreams.参考答案：A50._____A.Forexample, the people in men's dreams are often other men, and the dreams often involve fighting.B.Men and women dream about different things.C.A criminal, for example, might dream about crime.D.However, one thing they agree on this: If you dream that something terrible is going to occur, you shouldn't panic.E.It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams in a scientific way.F.He thought people could learn more about themselves by thinking about their dreams.参考答案：D六、完形填空Warmer climate will bake tropical bugsGlobal warming could cook tropical insects, with unpredictable knock-on effects,say researchers who warn that rising temperatures also_____(51)tropical frogs and lizards(蜥蜴).Temperatures are_____(52)to increase much faster in temperate(温和的)and polar(极地的)regions than in the tropics. But no-one had looked at how warmingwould affect insects and other cold-blooded animals_____(53)had evolved in tropical regions with little temperature variation.Curtis Deutsch at the University of California at Los Angeles and colleagues analysed data_____(54)insect survival and reproduction for 38 species in different ecosystems(生态系统), and then estimated how these values would_____(55)with predictions of climate change for the 21st century.The team found that the reproductive_____(56)of tropical insects tends to peak very close to the temperatures where they normally live, but_____(57)sharply at higher temperatures. This means that cranking up(提高)the heat only a small amount can exert a heavy toll, leaving insects unable to reproduce_____(58)enough to keep uptheir numbers.Temperate insects reproduce well over a broader range, and do not liveas_____(59)to their thermal(热的)limit, so they can reproduce successfully when their climate warms more than in the tropics."Tropical insects do very well in a narrow band of temperatures, but move them above that_____(60)and they die," says team member Josh Tewksbury of the University of Washington in Seattle.The heart of the_____(61)is temperature tolerance. Temperate-zone insects have evolved to survive the much broader temperature swings of seasonal climates, than have their tropical relatives.The_____(62)appears worse for animals that live in hot stable climate of the lower levels of tropical forests. Lizards in clear areas can find shade to cool down, but thoseliving in the forest are already in the_____(63), and there's not much they can do to get cooler, Deutsch says.Too few tropical insects have been studied so far to_____(64)if any particular group will be particularly hard-hit, says Tewksbury. Insects play important_____(65)in forest ecology(生态学).The team are now starting to evaluate how temperature affects ecological interactions of insects with other species, including crops such as African corn.51.A.treat B.threaten C.help D.protect参考答案：B52.A.demanded B.needed C.promised D.expected参考答案：D53.A.while B.where C.that D.what参考答案：C54.A.on B.in C.at D.with参考答案：A55.A.meet B.spread C.decrease D.change参考答案：D56.A.rate B.value C.system D.type参考答案：A57.A.develops B.stops C.rises D.drops参考答案：D58.A.fast B.typically C.firmly D.jointly参考答案：A59.A.important B.possible C.close D.necessary 参考答案：C60.A.range B.order C.rank D.XX参考答案：C61.A.proposal B.project C.thesis D.problem 参考答案：D62.A.reason B.cause C.level D.effect参考答案：D63.A.cave B.shade C.sunshine D.open参考答案：B64.A.tell B.speak C.wonder D.doubt参考答案：A65.A.tricks B.roles C.games D.rules参考答案：B。

He's a professor of solid-state physics at Uppsala University in Sweden. "It's contact with the outside world. You have to have visual contact with the surrounding world to feel well." So, windows and natural light are important for improving the way people feel when they're stuck indoors.3.Yet, windows are the weak link in a building when it comes to energy and temperature control. In the winter, cold air leaks in. When it's hot and sunny, sunlight streams in. All of this sunlight carries lots of heat and energy. And all of this extra heat forces people to turn on their air conditioners. Producing cold air, which can feel so refreshing(使人清新的), actually suck up enormous amounts of electricity in buildings around the world.4.Windows have been a major focus of energy research for a long time. Over the years, scientists have come up with a variety of strategies for coating, glazing(用玻璃覆盖), and layering windows to make them more energy efficient. Smart windows go a step further. They use some chromogenic(发色的)technologies involving changes of color.5.Electrochromic(电致色的) windows use electricity to change color. For example,a sheet of glass coated with thin layers of tungsten oxide(氧化钨)works a bit like a battery. Tungsten oxide is clear when an electric charge is applied and dark when the charge is removed, that is, when the amount of voltage(电压)is decreased, the window darkens until it's completely dark after all electricity is taken away. So applying a voltage determines whether the window looks clear or dark.6.One important feature that makes a smart window so smart is that it has a sort of "memory". All it takes is a small shock of voltage to turn the window from one state to the other. Then, it stays that way. Transitions take from 10 seconds to a few minutes, depending on the size of the window. The development of smart windows could mean that massive air conditioning systems may no longer need. "In the future," Granqvist says, "our buildings may look different."31.Which of the following values of windows is NOT mentioned?A.They let light in to brighten the house.B.They let light in to heat the house.C.They let us have visual contact with the surrounding world.D.They let us think about the outside world.参考答案：D32.The expression "when it comes to" in Paragraph 3 is used to_____.A.signal the arrival of a guest.B.indicate the recovery of consciousness.C.show our understanding of something.D.introduce a new aspect of a topic.参考答案：D33.According to Paragraph 4, smart windows are the windows that_____.A.are costed.B.are glazed.C.have several layers.D.can change color.参考答案：D34.Which paragraph gives an account of the way electrochromic windows changing?A.Paragraph 5.B.Paragraph 3.C.Paragraph 4.D.Paragraph 6.参考答案：A35.A smart windows is smart mainly because_____.A.it can change its size.B.it can change its structure.C.it can change the voltage of electricity.D.it has a sort of memory.参考答案：DSports Star Yao MingIf Yao Ming is not the biggest sports star in the world, he is almost certainly the tallest. At 2.26m, he is the tallest player in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and holds the record as the most towering Olympian ever to compete in the Games.But what really stands out about the giant center is his celebrity(名气). Few, if any, Chinese athletes are as well-known as Yao around the world. People across the globe are fascinated with Yao, not only for his basketball prowess(杰出的才能)also for being a symbol of international commerce.When Yao joined the Houston Rockets as the No.1 pick in the 2002 NBA draft(选抜)，he was the first international player ever to be selected first. His assets on thecourt are clear enough—no NBA player of his size has ever possessed his mobility, so he is a handful(难对付的人)for opponents on either end of the court. But what makes Yao invaluable to the Rockets organization is his role as a global citizen and as a bridge to millions of potential basketball fans in China.When it was announced in February that Yao would miss the rest of the NBA season and possibly the Olympics with a stress fracture(骨折)in his left foot, a collective shudder(震动)spread across China. After considerable debate and discussion, Yao opted to get his foot surgically treated in an operation that placed several tiny screws across the bone, to offer his overburdened foot more support. The surgery was a success, and though the estimated four-month recovery period will leave him little time to prepare with Team China, Yao has vowed to be ready for the Beijing Olympics.Yao wrapped up a 10-day trip to China, where he underwent a series of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatments, hoping to accelerate his recovery process Western experts are generally skeptical of TCM's benefits although new research from the University of Rochester suggests that a certain compound derived from shellfish may indeed stimulate bone repair."There is no reason to dismiss TCM," Yao told a press conference in Beijing." It's been used in our country for thousands of years. I don't think that it's short on science."36.The word "towering" in Paragraph 1 means_____rge.B.fat.C.tall.D.great.参考答案：C37.Opponents find it very difficult to control Yao Ming because of his_____A.mobility.B.assault.C.defense.D.celebrity.参考答案：A38.Yao Ming had to undergo a series of TCM treatments because_____A.his right foot had been hurting.B.he wanted to make a more rapid recovery.C.the surgical operation had been a failure.D.he couldn't afford all the medical expenses.参考答案：B39.Which statement about Yao Ming is NOT true?A.He missed the Athens Olympics.B.He is an NBA player.C.He fractured his left foot.D.He is an international figure.参考答案：A40.In general, the Western experts' attitude towards TCM is_____.A.indifferent.B.positive.C.negative.D.doubtful.参考答案：DCan you hear This?When something creates a sound wave in a room or an auditorium, listeners hear the sound wave directly from the source. They also hear the reflections as the sound bounces off the walls, floor, and ceiling. These are called the reflected wave or reverberant(反射的)sound, which can be heard even after the sound is no longer coming from the source.The reverberation time of an auditorium is determined by the volume or interior size of the auditorium. It is also determined by how well or how poorly the walls, ceiling, floor, and contents of the room (including the people) absorb sound. There isno ideal reverberation time. Because each use of an auditorium calls for different reverberation. Speech needs to be understood clearly: therefore rooms used for talking must have a short reverberation time. The full-sound performance of music such as Wagner operas or Mahler symphonies should have a long reverberation time. The light, rapid musical passages of Bach or Mozart need a reverberation time somewhere between.Acoustic problems often are caused by poor auditorium design. Smooth, curved reflecting surfaces create large reflections. Parallel(平行的)walls reflect sound back and forth, creating a rapid, repetitive pulsing effect. Large pillars(柱)and corners can cause acoustic shadows as the sound waves try to pass around the object. Some of these problems can be solved by using absorbers and reflectors to change the reverberation time of a room. For example, hanging large reflectors, called clouds, over the performers will allow some sound frequencies to reflect and others to pass to achieve a pleasing mixture of sound.41.This passage is mainly about_____A.sound waves and their effects.B.the types of music orchestras play.C.walls of an auditorium.D.the design of an auditorium.参考答案：D42.Wagner operas and Mahler symphonies with full-sound effect have_____A.a short reverberation time.B.an intermediate reverberation time.C.no reverberation time.D.a long reverberation time.参考答案：D43.This passage suggests that a good auditorium should_____A.get rid of all reflections.B.not have absorbers.C.achieve a pleasing mixture of sound.D.have smooth surfaces.参考答案：Drge pillars and corners may_____A.make sound rich and full.B.be cures for sound problems.C.be sources of sound problems.D.function as effectively as clouds.参考答案：C45.The word "acoustic" in the last paragraph has something to do with_____A.performance.B.sound.C.audience.D.weather.参考答案：B五、补全短文What Is a Dream?For centuries, people have wondered about the strange things that they dream about. Some psychologists say that this nighttime activity of the mind has no special meaning. Others, however, think that dreams are an important part of our lives. In fact, many experts believe that dreams can tell us about a person's mind and emotions.Before modern times, many people thought that dreams contained messages from God. _____(46)The Austrian psychologist, Sigmund Freud, was probably the first person to study dreams scientifically. In his famous book, The interpretation of Dreams (1900), Freud wrote that dreams are an expression of a person's wishes. He believed that dreams allow people to express the feelings, thoughts, and fears that they are afraid to express in real life.The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung was once a student of Freud's. Jung, however, had a different idea about dreams. Jung believed that the purpose of a dream was tocommunicate a message to the dreamer._____(47)For example, people who dream about falling may learn that they have too high an opinion of themselves. On the other hand, people who dream about being heroes may learn that they think too little of themselves.Modern-day psychologists continue to develop theories about dreams. For example, psychologist William Domhoff from the University of California, Santa Cruz, believes that dreams are tightly linked to a person's daily life, thoughts, and behavior. _____(48)Domhoff believes that there is a connection between dreams and age. His research shows that children do not dream as much as adults. According to Domhoff, dreaming is a mental skill that needs time to develop.He has also found a link between dreams and gender. His studies show that the dreams of men and women are different. _____(49)This is not true of women's dreams. Domhoff found this gender difference in the dreams of people from 11 cultures around the world, including both modern and traditional ones.Can dreams help us understand ourselves? Psychologists continue to try to answer this question in different ways._____(50)The dream may have meaning, but itdoes not mean that some terrible event will actually take place. It's important to remember that the world of dreams is not the real world.46._____A.For example, the people in men's dreams are often other men, and the dreams often involve fighting.B.Men and women dream about different things.C.A criminal, for example, might dream about crime.D.However, one thing they agree on this: If you dream that something terrible is going to occur, you shouldn't panic.E.It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams in a scientific way.F.He thought people could learn more about themselves by thinking about their dreams.参考答案：E47._____A.For example, the people in men's dreams are often other men, and the dreams often involve fighting.B.Men and women dream about different things.C.A criminal, for example, might dream about crime.D.However, one thing they agree on this: If you dream that something terrible is going to occur, you shouldn't panic.E.It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams in a scientific way.F.He thought people could learn more about themselves by thinking about their dreams.参考答案：F48._____A.For example, the people in men's dreams are often other men, and the dreams often involve fighting.B.Men and women dream about different things.C.A criminal, for example, might dream about crime.D.However, one thing they agree on this: If you dream that something terrible is going to occur, you shouldn't panic.E.It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams in a scientific way.F.He thought people could learn more about themselves by thinking about their dreams.参考答案：C49._____A.For example, the people in men's dreams are often other men, and the dreams often involve fighting.B.Men and women dream about different things.C.A criminal, for example, might dream about crime.D.However, one thing they agree on this: If you dream that something terrible is going to occur, you shouldn't panic.E.It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams in a scientific way.F.He thought people could learn more about themselves by thinking about their dreams.参考答案：A50._____A.For example, the people in men's dreams are often other men, and the dreams often involve fighting.B.Men and women dream about different things.C.A criminal, for example, might dream about crime.D.However, one thing they agree on this: If you dream that something terrible is going to occur, you shouldn't panic.E.It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams in a scientific way.F.He thought people could learn more about themselves by thinking about their dreams.参考答案：D六、完形填空Warmer climate will bake tropical bugsGlobal warming could cook tropical insects, with unpredictable knock-on effects, say researchers who warn that rising temperatures also_____(51)tropical frogs and lizards(蜥蜴).Temperatures are_____(52)to increase much faster in temperate(温和的)and polar(极地的)regions than in the tropics. But no-one had looked at how warming would affect insects and other cold-blooded animals_____(53)had evolved in tropical regions with little temperature variation.Curtis Deutsch at the University of California at Los Angeles and colleagues analysed data_____(54)insect survival and reproduction for 38 species in different ecosystems(生态系统), and then estimated how these values would_____(55)with predictions of climate change for the 21st century.The team found that the reproductive_____(56)of tropical insects tends to peak very close to the temperatures where they normally live, but_____(57)sharply at higher temperatures. This means that cranking up(提高)the heat only a small amount can exert a heavy toll, leaving insects unable to reproduce_____(58)enough to keep up their numbers.Temperate insects reproduce well over a broader range, and do not liveas_____(59)to their thermal(热的)limit, so they can reproduce successfully when their climate warms more than in the tropics."Tropical insects do very well in a narrow band of temperatures, but move them above that_____(60)and they die," says team member Josh Tewksbury of the University of Washington in Seattle.The heart of the_____(61)is temperature tolerance. Temperate-zone insects have evolved to survive the much broader temperature swings of seasonal climates, than have their tropical relatives.The_____(62)appears worse for animals that live in hot stable climate of the lower levels of tropical forests. Lizards in clear areas can find shade to cool down, but thoseliving in the forest are already in the_____(63), and there's not much they can do to get cooler, Deutsch says.Too few tropical insects have been studied so far to_____(64)if any particular group will be particularly hard-hit, says Tewksbury.

职称英语考试/模拟试题2016年职称英语考试理工类模拟试题第10套：阅读判断Are You Getting Enough Sleep?What happens if you don’t get enough sleep? Randy Gardner, a high school student in the United States, wanted to find out. He designed an experiment on the effects of sleeplessness for a school science project. With doctors watching him carefully, Gardner stayed awake for 264 hours and 12 minutes. That’s eleven days and nights without sleep.What effect did sleeplessness have on Gardner? After 24 hours without sleep, Gardner started having trouble reading and watching television. The words and pictures were too blurry (模糊). By the third day, he was having trouble doing things with his hands. By the fourth day, Gardner was hallucinating(产生幻觉). For example, when he saw a feet sign, he thought it was a person. He alsoimagines he was a famous football player. After the next few days, Gardner’s speech became soslurred(不清楚)that people couldn’t understand him. He also had trouble remembering things. By the eleventh day, Gardner couldn’t pass a counting test. In the middle of the test he simply stopped. He couldn’t remember what he was doing.Then Gardner finally went to bed, he slept for 14 hours and 45 minutes. The second day he slept twelve hours, the third night he slept for ten and one-half hours, and by the fourth night, he had returned to his normal sleep schedule.Though Gardner recovered quickly, scientists believe that going without sleep gerous. They say that people should not repeat Randy’s experiment. Tests on Gardner have shown how serious sleeplessness can be. After a few weeks without-started losing their fur(皮毛). And even though the rats ate more food than weight. Eventually the rats died.During your lifetime, you will probably spend 25 years or more sleeping. But why purpose of sleep? Surprisingly, scientists don’t know for sure. Some sleep in order to replenish(补充)brain cells. Other scientists think body to grow and to relieve stress. Whatever the reason, we know enough sleep.16.

It is also her biggest city,with a population of nearly8million.In the summer it is hot,hot,hot and in the winter it can be very cold.Still there are hundreds of things to do and see all the year round.2.Manhattan is the real center of the city.When people say“New York City,”they usually mean Manhattan.Most of the interesting shops,buildings and museums are here.In addition,Manhattan is the scene of New York’s busy night life.In 1605the first Europeans came to Manhattan from Holland.They bought the island from the Native Americans for a few glass necklaces worth about$26today.3.Wall street in Manhattan is the financial heart of the USA.It is also the most important banking center in the world.It is a street of“skyscrapers.”These are those incredible,high buildings,which Americans invented,and built faster and higher than anyone else.Perhaps the two most spectacular skyscrapers in New York are the two towers of the New York World Trade Center.When the sun sets,their 110floors shine like pure gold.4.Like every big city,New York has its own traffic system.Traffic jams can be terrible.It’s usually quickest to go by subway.The New York subway is easy to use and quite cheap.The subway goes to almost every corner of Manhattan.But it is not safe to take the subway late at night because in some places you could get robbed.New York buses are also easy to use.You see more if you go by bus.There are more than30,000taxis in New York.They are easy to see,because they are bright yellow and carry large TAXI signs.Taxis do not go outside the city.However,they will go to the airports.In addition to the taxi fare,people give the taxi driver a tip of15percent of the fare’s value.5.Central Park is a beautiful green oasis in the middle of New York’s concrete desert.It is surprisingly big,with lakes and woods,as well as organized recreation areas.New Yorkers love Central Park,and they use it all the time.In the winter, they go ice-skating,and in the summer roller-skating.They play ball,ride horses and have picnics.They go bicycling and boating.There is even a children’s zoo, with wild birds and animals.6.Along the east side of Central Park runs Fifth Avenue,once called “Millionaire’s Row.”In the19th century,the richest men in America built their magnificent homes here.It is still the most fashionable street in the city,with famous department stores.7.Broadway is the street where you will find New York’s best-known theaters. But away from the bright lights and elegant clothes of Broadway are many smaller theaters.Their plays are called“off-Broad-way”and are often more unusual than the Broadway shows.As well as many theaters,New York has a famous opera house. This is the Metropolitan,where international stars sing from September until April. Carnegie Hall is the city’s more popular concert hall.But night life in New York offers more than classical music and theater.There are hundreds of nightclubs where people go to eat and dance.1.Paragraph3______2.Paragraph4______3.Paragraph5______4.Paragraph6______A The Financial Center of USAB The Night Life in New YorkC The Traffic Facilities of New YorkD Shopping Center for the RichE New York-An International CityF Central Park-A Place of Recreation for the New Yorkers5.The island of Manhattan was bought by the Hollanders from the native Americans______.6.Central Park is a good place where the New Yorkers can go and______.7.Fifth Avenue is the place______.8.For those play-lovers who are interested in what is unusual,the small theaters might be more attractive______.A do whatever they like for relaxationB where you can play all kinds of ball gamesC than the world famous BroadwayD enjoy the colorful night life of the cityE where the wealthy people would go shoppingF for what seems to be a very small sum today「正确答案」1-4ACFD5-8FAEC概括大意题解题思路：1.如果段首句和或段尾句是观点句，可借助段首句和或段尾句的句意判断答案;2.借助段落中反复出现的核心词/核心结构判断答案;3.如果段落中有举例的内容，可参考举例内容判断答案;4.注意段落中出现的观点句(观点句中有时出现这样的一些结构：to sum up(adv.总之,总而言之);in a word(adv.总之),in conclusion(adv.最后,总之)等或内容上提到“……研究发现……”，“.某某研究者发现……”)，转折句(往往句子中出现“but, however,although,though,nevertheless”等词)，因为这些句子可能就是段落的中心句，可参考这些句子句意判断答案。
