根据短文回答 36~40 题。

Life in the Universe

Many scientists today are convinced that life exists elsewhere in the universe - life probably much like that on our own planet. They reason in the folio, wing way.

As far as astronomers (天文学家) can determine, the entire universe is built of the same matter. They have no reason to doubt that matter obeys the same laws in every part of the universe. Therefore, it is reasonable to guess that other stars, with their own planets, were born in the same way as our own solar system. What we know of life on earth suggests that life will arise wherever the proper conditions exist.

Life requires the right amount and kind of atmosphere. This .eliminates all those planets in the universe that are not about the same size and weight as the earth. A smaller planet would lose its atmosphere; a larger one would hold too much of it.

Life also requires a steady supply of heat and light. This eliminates double stars, or tars that flare up (闪耀) suddenly. Only single stab that are steady sources of heat and light like our sun would qualify.

Finally, life could evolve only if the planet is just the right distance from its sun. With a weaker sun than our own, the planet would have to be closer to it. With a stronger sun, it would have to be farther away.

If we suppose that every star in the universe has a family of planets, then how many planets might support life? First, eliminate those stars that are not like our sun. Next, eliminate most of their planets; they are either too far from or too close to their suns. Then eliminate all those planets which are not the same size and weight as the earth. Finally, remember that the proper conditions do not necessarily mean that life actually does exist on a planet. It may not have begun yet, or it may have already died out.

This process of elimination seems to leave very few planets on which earthlike life might be found. However, even if life could exist on only one planet in a million, there are so many billions of planets that this would still leave a vast number on which life could exist.

第 36 题 Astronomers believe that matter in different parts of the universe()

A.obeys different laws

B.obeys one common law

C.obeys the same laws

D.obeys no common law

根据短文回答 36~40 题。 Dancing in the Streets If there is one thing certain to get B

根据短文回答 36~40 题。

Dancing in the Streets

If there is one thing certain to get Brazilians on their feet, it is the Rio Carnival (狂欢节). Held in Rio de Janeiro, the country's biggest city, the carnival began on February 20 when the mayor gave key of the city to Rei Momo -- the Lord of Misrule (无序之皇).

On his orders, each year people turn the city into a paradise of dance and music. The following six days are so full of parades, street dancing, fantastic clothes and partying (聚 会) that many people forget about eating and sleeping.

"It was the passion of the carnival that attracted me to Brazil and made me settle down in Rio," said Bob Nadkarni, a British man who has lived in the city for several years. For many Brazilians, the centrepiece of the carnival is samba (桑巴舞), a typical Brazilian dance. Every year, tens of thousands of visitors and locals show off their passion and energy in the streets, following the beat (节拍) of the Latin music.

The climax to this street party is the float (彩车) parade, in which floats decorated with tons of fresh flowers by various samba schools and local communities move through the city. On the top of each float stands the candidate for the Drum Queen, who is chosen at the end of the party.

While most people are free to enjoy the celebrations, Rio's police officers have to keep a clear head. Following the murder of three officers in a gunfight early last week, the Brazilian Government has tightened security in Rio. The street fighting, robbery and sex crimes that accompany the carnival are very difficult to police.

Carnivals began in ancient Rome as a celebration at which people fed wild wolves, in honors of the city's founder who was said to have been raised by a she-wolf. Brazil gave new life to this tradition and so, despite the troubles, the carnival will remain a symbol of the country's culture.

第 36 题 According to the passage, during the Carnival people in Rio did all of the following EXCEPT().

A.dancing in the streets

B.putting on colorful clothes

C.eating a lot of food

D.holding exciting parades

New Foods and the New World

In the last 500 years, nothing about People -- not their clothes, ideas, or languages has changed as much as what they eat The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree (可可树) by South American Indians The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500's And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places Some still exist today

The potato is also from the New World Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the "Potato Famine (饥荒)" of 1845-1846, and thousands more were forced to leave their homeland and move to America

There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World But some others went in the opposite direction Brazil is now the world's largest grower of coffee and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries ut it is native to Ethiopia; a country in Africa It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400's

根据短文回答 36~40 题。 The Cherokee Nation Long before the white man came to America

根据短文回答 36~40 题。

The Cherokee Nation

Long before the white man came to America,the land belonged to the American Indian nations.The nation of the Cherokees lived in what is now the southeastern part of the United States.

After the white man came,the Cherokees copied many of their ways.One Cherokee named Sequoyah saw how important reading and writing were to the white man.He decided to invent a way to write down the spoken Cherokee language.He began by making word pictures.For each word he drew a picture.But that proved impossible-there were just too many words.Then he took the 85 sounds that made up the language.Using his own imagination and an English spelling book,Sequoyah invented a sign for each sound.His alphabet proved amazingly easy to learn.Before long,many Cherokees knew how to read and write in their own language.By 1828,they were even printing their own newspaper.

In 1830.the U.S.Congress passed a law.It allowed the government to remove Indians from their lands.The Cherokees refused to go.They had lived on their lands for centuries.It belonged to them.Why should they go to a strange land far beyond the Mississippi River?

The army was sent to drive the Cherokees out.Soldiers surrounded their villages and marched them at gunpoint(在枪口的威胁下)into the western territory.The sick,the old and the small children went in carts,along with their belongings.The rest of the people marched on foot or rode on horseback.It was November,yet many of them still wore their summer clothes.Cold and hungry, the Cherokees were quickly exhausted by the hardships of the journey.Many dropped dead and were buried by the roadside. When the last group arrived in their new home in March 1839,more than 4,000 had died.It was indeed a march of death.

第 36 题 The Cherokees used to live()

A.by the roadside.

B.in the southeastern part of the US.

根据短文回答 36~40 题。

Home Heating

Central heating became popular only after the Civil War Typically, coat-burning furnaces (火炉) fueled the early systems Natural gas had developed into the leading fuel by 1960 its acceptance resulted in part from its wide uses Because it comes primarily from US and Canadian fields, natural gas is also less vulnerable (脆弱的) than oil is to war Oil remains the most important fuel in a few areas, such as New England

Electric heating dominates most areas with mild winters and cheap electricity, including the South and the Northwest It was made popular at least in the South by the low cost of adding electric heating to new houses built with air-conditioning Bottled gas, which is somewhat more expensive than utility gas, is the fuel of choice in rural areas not served by utility pipelines Wood is the leading heating fuel in just a few rural counties

Home heating which accounts for less than 7 percent of all energy consumed in the US, has had a commendable (值得赞扬的) efficiency record: from 1978 to 1997, the amount of fuel consumed for this purpose declined 44 percent despite a 33 percent increase in-the number of housing units and an increase in house size The U S

Department of Energy, however, forecasts that energy used in home heating will rise by 14 percent over the next two decades that rise is small considering an expected 21 percent increase in the number of houses and the trend toward larger houses

Natural gas and electricity will probably dominate the home heating market for the next two decades Solar (太阳的) heating never became popular because of cost and limited winter sunlight in most areas; in 2000 only 47,000 homes relied on it.

第 36 题 Natural gas didn't become the leading fuel until()

A.1978

B.1960

C.1997

D.2000

Valuing Childhood

The value of childhood is easily blurred(模糊)in today's world.Consider some recent developments:The child。murderers in the Jonesboro。Ark.schoolyard shooting case were convicted and sentenced.Two boys,7 and 8.were charged in the murder of an 11-year-old girl in Chic ago.

Children who commit horrible crimes appear to act of their own will.Yet,as legal proceedings in Jonesboro showed,the one boy who was able to address the court couldn't begin to explain his acts。though he tried to apologize.There may have been a motive-"youthful jealousy and resentment.But a deeper question remains:Why did these boys and others in similar trouble apparently lack any inner, moral restraint?

That question echoes for the accused in Chicago,young as they are.They wanted

the girl's bicycle,a selfish impulse common enough among kids.

Redemption(拯救)is a practical necessity。How can value be restored to young lives? Distorted by acts of violence? The boys in Jonesboro and in Chicago will be confined in institutions for a relatively short time.Despite horror at what was done,children are not—cannot be—dealt with as adults,not if a people wants to consider itself civilized.That's why politicians' cries for adult treatment of youthful criminals ultimately miss the point.

But the moral void(真空)that invites violence has many sources.Family instability contributes.So does economic stress.That void,however, can be filled.The work starts with parents,who have to ask themselves whether they're doing enough to give their children a firm sense of right and wrong.Are they really monitoring their activities.s and their developing processes of thought?

根据短文回答 36~40 题。

Ford's Assembly Line

When it comes to singling out those who have made a difference in all our lives you cannot overlook Henry Ford. A historian a century from now might well conclude that it was Ford who most influenced all manufacturing, everywhere, even to this day, by introducing a new way to make cars--one, strange to say, that originated in slaughterhouses (屠宰场).

Back in the early 1900's, slaughterhouses used what could have been called a "disassembly line,. Ford reversed this process to see if it would speed up production of a part of an automobile engine called a magneto. Rather than have each worker completely assemble a magneto, one of its elements was placed on e conveyer, and each worker, as it passed, added another component to it, the same one each time.

Professor David Household of the University of Delaware, an expert on industrial development, tells what happened:

"The previous day, workers carrying out the entire process had averaged one assembly every 20 minutes. But on that day, on the line, the assembly team averaged one every 13 minutes and 10 seconds per person."

Within a year, the time had been reduced to five minutes. In 1913, Ford went all the way. Hooked together by ropes, partially assembled vehicles were towed (拖,拉) past workers who completed them one piece at a time. It wasn't long before Ford was turning out several hundred thousand cars a year, a remarkable achievement then And so efficient and economical was this new system that me cut the price of his cars in half, to $260, putting them within reach of all those who, up until that time, could not afford them. Soon, auto makers the world over copied him. In fact, he encouraged them to do so by writing a book about all of his innovations, entitle today and tomorrow. The Age of the Automobile has arrived. Today, aided by robots and other forms of automation (自动化), everything from toasters to perfumes is made on assembly lines.

第 36 题 Which of the following statements about Henry Ford is NOT true?()

A.He introduced a new way of production.

B.He influenced all manufacturing.

C.He inspired other auto makers.

D.He changed the minds of historians.

Valuing Childhood

The value of childhood is easily blurred (变得模糊不清) in today's world. Consider some recent developments: The child-murderers in the Jonesboro, Ark. Schoolyard shooting case were convicted and sentenced. Two boys, 7 and 8, were charged in the murder of an 11-year-old girl in Chicago.

Children who commit horrible crimes appear to act of their own will. Yet, as legal proceedings in Jonesboro showed, the one boy who was able to address the court

Couldn't begin to explain his acts, though he tried to apologize There may have been a motive -- youthful jealousy (妒忌,) and resentment. But a deeper question remains: Why did these boys and others in similar trouble apparently lack any inner, moral restraint?

That question echoes for the accused in Chicago, young as they are. They wanted the girl's bicycle, a selfish impulse common enough among kids.

Redemption (拯救) is a practical necessity. How can value be restored to young lives distorted by acts of' violence? The boys in Jonesboro and in Chicago will be confined in institutions for a relatively short time,Despite horror at what was done,children are not—cannot be—dealt with as adults.not if a people wants to consider itself civilized.That's why politicians' cries for adult treatment of youthful criminals ultimately miss the

point。

But the moral void(真空)that invites violence has many sources。Family instability contributes。So does economic stress.That void,however, can be filled。The work starts with parents,who have to ask themselves whether they're doing enough to give their children a firm sense of right and wrong.Are they really monitoring their activities and their developing processes of thought?

Schools,t00,have a role in building character.So do youth organizations.So do law enforcement agencies,which can do more to inform. the young about laws,their meaning,and their observance(遵守).

The goal,ultimately, is to allow all children a normal passage from childhood to adulthood(成年),so that tragic gaps in moral judgments are less likely to Occur.The relative few who fill such gaps with acts of violence hint at many others who don't go that far,but who lack the moral foundations childhood should provide—and which progressive human society relies on.

Technology Transfer in Germany

When it comes to translating basic research into industrial success, few nations can match Germany. Since the 1940s, the nation's vast industrial base has been fed with a constant stream of new ideas and expertise from science. And though German prosperity (繁荣) has faltered (衰退) over the past decade because of the huge cost of unifying east and west as well as the global economic decline, it still has an enviable record for turning ideas into profit.

Much of the reason for that success is the Fraunhofer Society, a network of research institutes that exists solely to solve industrial problems and create sought-afte technologies. But today the Fraunhofer institutes have competition. Universities are taking an ever larger role in technology transfer, and technology parks are springing up all over. These efforts are being complemented by the federal programmes for pumping money into start-up companies.

Such a strategy may sound like a recipe for economic success, but it is not wit, hour its critics. These people worry that favouring applied research will mean neglecting basic science, eventually starving industry of fresh ideas. If every scientist starts thinking like an entrepreneur(企业家), the argument goes, then the traditional principles of university research being curiosity-driven, free and widely available will suffer. Others claim that many of the programmes to promote technology transfer are a waste of money because half the small businesses that are promoted are bound to go bankrupt within a few years.

While this debate continues, new ideas flow at a steady rate from Germany's research networks, which bear famous names such as Helmholtz, Max Planck and Leibniz. Yet it is the fourth network, the Fraunhofer Society, which plays the greatest role in technology transfer.

Founded in 1949, the Fraunhofer Society is now Europe's largest organisation for applied technology, and has 59 institutes employing 12,000 people. It continues to grow. Last year, it swallowed up the Heinrich Hertz Institute for Communication Technology in Berlin. Today', there are even Fraunhofers in the US and Asia.

第 36 题 What factor can be attributed to German prosperity?()

A.Technology transfer

B.Good management

C.Hard work.

D.Fierce competition

Two People, Two Paths

You must be familiar with the situation: Dad's driving, Mum's telling him where to go He's sure that they need to turn left But she says it's not for another two blocks Who has the better sense of direction? Men or women

They both do, a new study says, but in different ways

Men and women, Canadian researchers have found, have different methods of finding their way Men look quickly at landmarks (地标) and head off in what they think is the right direction Women, however, try to picture the whole route in detail and-the follow the path in their head

"Women tend to be more detailed," said Edward Cornell, who led the study, "while men tend to be a little bit faster and… a little bit more intuitive (直觉感知的)

In fact, said Cornell, "sense of direction" isn't one skill but two

The first is the "survey method" This is when you see an area from above, such as a printed map You can see, for example, where the hospital is, where the church is and that the supermarket is on its right

The second skill is the "route method" This is when you use a series of directions You start from the hospital, then turn left, turn right, go uphill -- and then you see the supermarket

Men are more likely to use the survey method while women are more likely to use one route and follow directions

Both work, and neither is better

Some scientists insist that these different skills have a long history they argue it is because of the difference in traditional roles

In ancient times, young men often went far away with the older men to fish or hunt the trip took hours or days and covered unfamiliar places the only way to know, where you were was to use the survey method to remember landmarks - the mountains, the lakes and so on

The women, on the other hand, took young girls out to find fruits and plants these activities were much closer to home but required learning well-used paths So, women's sense of space was based on learning certain routes.

第 36 题 When finding his way, Dad tends to rely on()

A.his intuitive knowledge

B.his book knowledge

C.Mum's assistance

D.the police's assistance

根据下列材料请回答 32~36 题:U.S.Life Expectancy Hits New HighLife expectancy rates in the

根据下列材料请回答 32~36 题:

U.S.Life Expectancy Hits New High

Life expectancy rates in the United States are at an all—time high,with people born in 2005 projected to live for nearly 78 years,a new federal study finds

The finding reflects a continuing trend of increasing life expectancy that began in 1 955,when the average American lived to be 69.6 years old.By 1 995,life expectancy was 75.8 years,and by 2005,it had risen to 77;9 years,according to the report released Wednesday.

“This is good news,”said report CO—author Donna Hoyert ,a health scientist at the National Center for Health Statistics.“It’S even beer news that it is a continuation 0f trends,SO it is a long period of continuing improvement.”

Despite the upward trend,the United States still has a lower life expectancy than some 40 other countries,according to the U.S.Census(人口普查)Bureau. The country with the longest life expectancy is Andorra at 83.5 years,followed by Japan,Macau,San Marino and Singapore.

Much of the increase owes to declining death rates from the three leading causes of death in the country—heart disease,cancer and stroke.

In addition,in 2005,the U.S.death rate dropped to an all—time low of less than 800deaths per 100,000.

Dr.David Katz。director of the Prevention Research Center at Yale University School of Medicine,said,“News that life expectancy is increasing is,of course,good.But the evidence we have suggests that there is more chronic disease than ever in the U.S.”

Adding years to life is a good thing,Katz said.“But adding vital life to years is at least equally important. If we care about living well,and not just longer,we still have our work cut out for us.”he said.

第 31 题 Since 1 955, life expectancy rates in the U.S. have

A. moved up and down.

B. been declining.

C. been on the rise.

D. remained steady.
