A、The definition and inclusion for essential element are not the same in plant and animal systems.
B、Because the trace elements essential for plants are those elements which cannot be substituted by others in their specific biochemical roles and that have a direct influence on the organism so that it can neither grow nor complete some metabolic cycle.
C、In general, B, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Si and Zn are known to be essential for plants, whilst Al, As, Br, F, I, Li, Ni, Rb, Se, Sr, Ti and V are known to be essential for some groups or species. In human and animal systems, trace elements are defined as being essential if depletion consistently results in a deficiency syndrome and repletion specifically reverses the abnormalities.
D、The trace elements fulfilling these requirements are As, Co, Cr, Cu, F, Fe, I, Mn, Mo, Ni, Se, Si, Sn, V and Zn.

听力原文: The American soul singer James Brown has died at the age of 73. His agent told the BBC the singer had died in a hospital in Atlanta, where he'd been treated for pneumonia. The man, who became known as the God father of soul, was a former shoeshine boy. He grew up in poverty in the American south, who went on to write and produce some of the most successful anthems of the civil rights movement in the United States in the 1960s. The U.S. civil rights activist Derevent al Shopton paid his respects, "James Brown was not just a guy who'd made a lot of hits, he changed culture for us. He made the common landmark. We've lost more than loves. We have lost the way of life."
According to the news, James Brown ______.
A.used to be a shoemaker
B.grew up in a well-to-do family
C.supported the Civil Rights Movement
D.was the God Father of Blues
Marketing, on the other hand, focuses on the wants of consumers'. It begins with first analyzing the preferences and demands of consumers and then producing goods that w/Il satisfy them. This eye-on-the-consumer approach is known as the marketing concept, which simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce or buy for resale, the makers and dealers first endeavor to find out what the consumer wants to buy and then go about making it available for purchase.
This concept does not imply that business is benevolent or that consumer satisfaction is given priority over profit in a company. There are al ways two sides to every business transaction-the firm and the customer
and each must be satisfied before trade occurs. Successful merchants and producers, however, recognize that the surest route to profit is through understanding and catering to customers. A striking example of tile importance of catering to the consumer presented itself in mid-1985, when Coca Cola changed the flavor of its drink. Tile non-acceptance of the new flavor by a significant portion of the public brought about a prompt restoration of the Classic Coke, which was then marketed alongside the new. King Customer ruled!
The marketing concept discussed in the passage is, in essence,______.
A.the practice of turning goods into money
B.making goods available for purchase
C.the customer-centered approach
D.a form. of persuasive salesmanship

Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.
Bob and Annie had not known each other long before they became eager to get married: Bob because he wanted Annie and she (though she was fond of Bob in her own way) because she could at least lead a life away from her family. When Mrs. Thompson suggested that they marry and live with her in Dover Street until they could get a house of their own, Annie hesitated. Her idea of marriage had been something which brought her a husband and an orderly, well-furnished home all at once. But she soon saw the advantages of this arrangement. She would, first of all, escape from her present life into a house which was quiet and efficiently run, not like her own; and she would be able to go on working so that she and Bob could save up all money more quickly for their own house. She would also get Bob, a good enough husband for any working-class girl: good-natured and ready to be bent to her way whenever it was necessary for her ends.
Things went well until her mother-in-law's death, when Annie had to give up her job and was at home all day. Her father-in-law became just a silent figure in the house and al though Bob became used to him, Annie began to find the old man's constant presence in the house a source of growing annoyance.
"He gets on my nerves, Bob", she said one night when they were alone. "Just sitting there all day and I have to clean up around him. And he hardly says a word from getting up in the morning to going to bed".
"Well, I suppose he has the right to do as he likes", Bob said mildly. "It's his house not ours. We're the lodgers(寄宿者)." But to Annie, now looking after the house as if it were her own, it was beginning to seem the other way about.
Annie wanted to get married because she ______.
A.had known Bob for a long time
B.wanted to leave home
C.was madly in love with Bob
D.had led a lonely life
Caffeine, the stimulant in coffee, has been called
“the most widely used psychoactive substance on Earth .”
Synder, Daly and Bruns have recently proposed that
caffeine affects behavior. by countering the activity in
(5) the human brain of a naturally occurring chemical called
adenosine. Adenosine normally depresses neuron firing
in many areas of the brain. It apparently does this by
inhibiting the release of neurotransmitters, chemicals
that carry nerve impulses from one neuron to the next.
(10) Like many other agents that affect neuron firing,
adenosine must first bind to specific receptors on
neuronal membranes. There are at least two classes
of these receptors, which have been designated A1 and
A2. Snyder et al propose that caffeine, which is struc-
(15) turally similar to adenosine, is able to bind to both types
of receptors, which prevents adenosine from attaching
there and allows the neurons to fire more readily than
they otherwise would.
For many years, caffeine’s effects have been attri-
(20) buted to its inhibition of the production of phosphodi-
esterase, an enzyme that breaks down the chemical
called cyclic AMP.A number of neurotransmitters exert
their effects by first increasing cyclic AMP concentra-
tions in target neurons. Therefore, prolonged periods at
(25) the elevated concentrations, as might be brought about
by a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, could lead to a greater
amount of neuron firing and, consequently, to behav-
ioral stimulation. But Snyder et al point out that the
caffeine concentrations needed to inhibit the production
(30) of phosphodiesterase in the brain are much higher than
those that produce stimulation. Moreover, other com-
pounds that block phosphodiesterase’s activity are not
stimulants.
To buttress their case that caffeine acts instead by pre-
(35) venting adenosine binding, Snyder et al compared the
stimulatory effects of a series of caffeine derivatives with
their ability to dislodge adenosine from its receptors in
the brains of mice. “In general,” they reported, “the
ability of the compounds to compete at the receptors
(40) correlates with their ability to stimulate locomotion in
the mouse; i.e., the higher their capacity to bind at the
receptors, the higher their ability to stimulate locomo-
tion.” Theophylline, a close structural relative of caffeine
and the major stimulant in tea, was one of the most
(45) effective compounds in both regards.
There were some apparent exceptions to the general
correlation observed between adenosine-receptor binding
and stimulation. One of these was a compound called
3-isobuty1-1-methylxanthine(IBMX), which bound very
(50) well but actually depressed mouse locomotion. Snyder
et al suggest that this is not a major stumbling block to
their hypothesis. The problem is that the compound has
mixed effects in the brain, a not unusual occurrence with
psychoactive drugs. Even caffeine, which is generally
(55) known only for its stimulatory effects, displays this
property, depressing mouse locomotion at very low
concentrations and stimulating it at higher ones.

how scientists should study things as they realy exist in nature and then try to figure out what caused a particular thing to be as it is .later , by doing experiments , the scientist could see that any cause would always have the same result .this method , which is called inductive(归纳)reasoning , is used by al the scientists today , but it was new in bacon 's time .
