1．The shocking collapse of one of the West Coast's biggest wild salmon runs has prompted even cash-trapped fishermen to call for an unprecedented （空前的） shutdown of salmon fishing off the coasts of California and Oregon．
The Sacramento River salmon run is usually one of the most productive on the Pacific Coast，providing the bulk of the salmon caught by sport and commercial   trollers off California and Oregon．
But only about 90，000adult salmon returned to the Central Valley last fall--the second lowest number on record and well below the number needed to maintain a healthy fishery．That number is projected to fall to a record low of58.000this year．
The council，which regulates Pacific Coast fisheries，will choose between three management options：a total ban on salmon fishing off the coast of California and Oregon；extremely limited fishing in select areas；or catch-and-release fishing for scientific research．
For consumers，it will be hard to find any Chinook，also known as king salmon．which are prized by trollers，seafood critics and upscale restaurants．There should still be abundant supplies of farm-raised salmon．but prices could be higher．
Biologists and others are trying to figure out what caused the salmon collapse so they can make sure California's Chinook populations rebound．
There are many potential factors，because wild salmon are born in streams and rivers，migrate to the ocean when they're juveniles and spend two to four years there before returning to spawn（产卵）in the areas where they were born． In between they have to navigate the often dangerous waters of the Sacramento Delta and San Francisco Bay．
The council has asked state and federal scientists to research possible causes，including water diversions，habitat destruction，dam operations，agricultural pollution，and ocean conditions．Many scientists point out that unusual weather patterns disrupted the marine food chain along the Pacific Coast in 2005，when thousands of seabirds washed up dead or starving because they couldn't find enough to eat．
Researchers believe those poor ocean conditions also devastated the juvenile salmon that would have returned to the Central Valley last year．Young Chinook couldn't find the tiny shrimp and fish they depend onto survive．

36．The underlined word"troller"in the 2nd paragraph meansA．
A．fisherman    B．merchant    C．seafood dealer  D．organizer
37．Which of the following statements is true about the passage？A
A．Last fall，there was the second lowest number of grown salmon returning on record．
B．The salmon migrates to the ocean when they grow up．
C．The farm-raised salmon is not as delicious and nutrients as the wild salmon．
D．Salmon fishing off the coasts of California and Oregon is strictly forbidden．
38．The underlined sentence"In between they have to navigate the often dangerous waters of the Sacramento Delta and San Francisco Bay．"in Para 7indicates thatC．
A．a11the salmon with their young are able to come back to their birthplace．
B．Sacramento Delta and San Francisco Bay are off the coast of California．
C the salmon has to be strong enough to survive the rapid flowing waters．
D．the salmon has to swim across the Sacramento Delta and San Francisco Bay once in their life．
39．The possible causes of the salmon decrease mentioned do NOT includeC．
A．abnormal weather patterns broke me marine food chain along the Pacific Coast
B．bad ocean condition prevented the salmon from returning to their birthplace
C．many salmons are eaten in the ocean before they are capable of returning
D．the dam operation may change the salmons'living environment in the river
40．The passage is mainly about--．B
A．the agricultural pollution soils the coast，
B．the declining number of salmon could bring fishing ban
C．the disrupted food chain in the Pacific Coast
D．the fishermen could make little profit of salmon．
2．No matter how low you consider yourself，there is always someone looking up to you ______

19．Handshaking，the most popular way of showing friendliness，is often seen in cities and towns all over the world．It is，in fact，（25）aEuropean custom，but nobody knows exactly when this practice started．It is said that long，long ago in Europe when people met，they showed their （26）unarmed（unarm） hands to each other as a sign of goodwill．As time went on and trade in cities grew rapidly，people in cities began to clap each other's hands （27）to make（make） a deal or to reach an agreement．This practice was later changed into shaking hands among friends on meeting or leaving each other．Now"Let's shake hands on it"sometimes （28）means（mean） agreement reached．
Do the Europeans shake hands wherever they go and with whomever they meet？No，sometimes the Chinese abroad reach out their hands too often to be polite．It is really very impolite to give your hand when the meeting does not mean （29）anythingto him or her in some cases，and when the other person，especially when it is a woman，shows little interest in shaking hands with you．（30）Even if，for politeness，he holds out his unwilling hand in answer to your uninvited hand，just touch it slightly．There is generally a misunderstanding among the Chinese，which sometimes brings about unnecessary troubles，（31）thatwesterners are usually open and straightforward，while the Chinese are rather reserved in manner．But，as a matter of fact，some people in western countries are more reserved than some Chinese today．So it is a good idea to shake hands with a westerner only （32）whenhe shows interest in further relations with you．
6．I must find out ______ so many students made the same mistake．（　　）
A．it was why thatB．why was it thatC．was it why thatD．why it was that
6．You Are What You Eat
Genetic（基因的）engineering is the scientific change of the genetic material in a living organism． It allows scientists to identify specific genes，to remove them from an organism's chromosomes （染色体），improve them，analyze them，and possibly clone them，and to then reinsert the changed gene into the original organism，or a completely different organism．Unlike traditional breeding （繁殖），where a desired quality would be bred within the same species，genetic engineering can insert desired ones into organisms of different species．Wow…Did you catch that？
Genetic engineering creates many positive contributions to agriculture． For example，by genetically engineered（GE） foods，anti-cancer agents，minerals and vitamins can be increased．Improved taste，shelf life，and better transport are all possible．Also，GE plants can increase pest and bacterial resistance，therefore，making the food safe for consumers．
But some argue that the possible negative effects outweigh the positives，and critics are starting to voice their concerns．  Unlike Europe，in the United States labeling is not required on genetically engineered foods or on foods that contain genetically engineered products． Most Americans do not realize that they are，in fact，eating GE foods．
The public is also concerned about the unknown health risks．With limited understanding of genes，scientists cannot predict possible effects．Because most genes introduced into GE plants come from sources not introduced into the human body，it is impossible to know if they will cause reactions． Moreover，due to the lack of labeling if allergies develop，it will be extremely difficult to find the origin of them．
There is also a major moral question in many minds．For many，the conflict is not if it is safe or not，but it disturbs them because it is unnatural and unnecessary．We are currently producing one and a half times the amount of food needed to feed the world，yet one in seven people are starving．GE food is unnecessary，and fails to address the root of hunger． Many believe that the only people who will benefit are the corporations that produce it．
Scientists cannot foresee t．he possible effects of GE foods，yet we eat them every day without even knowing it．We already have enough food，so why create more that could be potentially harmful to us，to the Earth and to all wildlife？I think that the benefits are amazing，but until we know for sure how these foods will affect us，they are not worth the risk．

67．According to the passage，traditional breeding is different from genetic engineering in thatC．
A．traditional breeding changes the genes in the same species
B．traditional breeding changes the genes in different species
C．traditional breeding takes place within the same species
D．traditional breeding is more scientific
68．"The lack of labeling"in Paragraph 4indicatesA．
A．information concerning gene sources is unavailable to customers
B．it is currently possible to find the origins of some allergies
C．scientists try to hide potential dangers from customers
D．the US government is responsible for GE food
69．According to Paragraph 5，GE food is unnecessary becauseA．
A．it won't help solve the problem of hunger in the world
B．there are potential dangers in producing GE food
C．we're now producing more food than before
D．customers will benefit from GE food
70．What is the author's attitude towards genetic engineering？B
A．Welcoming．  B．Disapproving．   C．Unconcerned．   D．Optimistic．

10．The quality of drinking water in Shanghai will meet European Union standard soon and，a decade later，citizens in Shanghai will drink the best water in the world．
These were the goals set out by the Shanghai Water Authority．With the city's population expected to increase only slightly and the economy to boom by 2020，Chen Yin，an official with the water authority，said Shanghai's water use will not increase from its present amount．
Zhang Yue，director of the Urban Construction Division under the Ministry of Construction，said，"Shanghai is the first city in the country to publicize these goals．They will not be easy to achieve．"
He said water saving will help keep the sustainable（可持续的） development of China's economy．
Saving one cubic meter of water means saving the city's infrastructure（基础设施）costs by 10，000 Yuan．Last year，Shanghai saved 300 million cubic meters of water either from readjustment of industrial structure or the use of new technology．
"The aim is to arouse public awareness of the seriousness of water shortages，"Chen said．"The rich surface water and amount of rain of the city are so misleading that they result in improper use of water．"
Shanghai lacks drinkable water．The Huangpu River，which supplies 80 percent of the city's drinkable water，is drying up．
The city，therefore，has been exploring new sources from the Yangtze River and growing forests along it to hold quality water．
Besides，the authority is popularizing technology among the public to efficiently cut the amount of water used．
At present，the city has 600，000 family toilets，each using 13 liters of water per flush．These are to be renovated（整修）to use only 9 liters of water per flush．
The authority is renovating the first 200 toilets for households-at a cost of 40 Yuan each．
In three years，all the toilets will be renovated，which saves the city nearly 15 million Yuan every year in water use．
Another task is the treatment of the waste water to improve the water environment．
At present the city can only treat 44  percent of its daily 5.04 million tons of waste water．To meet the total demand，27 more treatment factories are to be set up with an estimated investment of 18 billion Yuan．
32．Some people in Shanghai use water improperly becauseA．
 A．the rich surface water and large amount of rain mislead them
 B．their family toilets can save plenty of water
 C．the waste water has already been treated
 D．new technology provide people with water as much as possible
33．The authority begins to renovate the toilets for households toB．
 A．make people live more conveniently
 B．meet people's need of water
 C．make people's living standards better
 D．reduce employment pressure
34．Which of the following measures are all mentioned in the passage to save water？
D
a．Introducing or using some new technology．
b．Improving drinking water quality．
c．Changing some industrial structure．
d．Renovating some family toilets．
e．Building more waste water treatment factories．
f．Speeding the economic development of Shanghai．
A．a，b，c，d   B．b，c，e，f  C．b，c，d，e   D．a，c，d，e
35．We can infer from the passage thatC．
A．Shanghai will need a much larger amount of water in the future
B．people in Shanghai can drink the best water in the world today
C．not all the people in Shanghai today know water shortage
D．all the family toilets will be renovated to save water in 3 years．
11．I failed in the final examination last term and only then ______ the importance of studies．（　　）
A．I realizedB．I had realizedC．had I realizedD．did I realize
