    Anger is good for you, as long as you control it properly, according to new psychology research. A new study from Carnegie Mellon University ___36___ anger may help you ____37___ the negative effects of stress and help you become healthier.

   “Here getting emotional is not bad for you if you look at the case of anger.” Said Jennifer Lerner of Carnegie Mellon. “The more you display anger, the lower your ____38___ responses.”

   Lerner studied 92 UCLA students by asking them to count back from 6,200. They must say out loud every 13th number. Researchers interfered with them by asking them to ___39____ faster or ask them other questions. If they made any ____40___ , they had to restart from the very beginning. Many students felt depressed about making so many mistakes or got angry ____41____ the researchers were ____42____ them.

Lerner used a ____43____ video camera and recorded all their facial _____44____ during the test. The researchers ____45____ their reactions as fear, anger and disgust. Other members recorded the students’ blood pressure, pulse and production of a high- stress hormone called cortisol.

  People whose faces showed more ____46____ during the experiment had higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone. Both can have lasting effects such as diabetes (糖尿病), heart disease, depression and weight gain. When people fear, negative impacts ____47____, but when they get angry, those negatives go down, according to the ____48____. “ Having that sense of anger ____49____ people to actually feel some power in what ____50____ is a maddening situation.” Lerner said.

    The United States will introduce a new and comprehensive(综合的) exam for students who seek to study in American and other English-speaking countries, Xinhua News Agency reported from New York.

    The exam, which stands for a great change from the current English level test, was disclosed by Theresa Chang Wei Jen, associate director of the International Service of the US College Board, America’s leading educational organization.

    The Advanced Placement International English Language (APIEL) will be offered for the first time throughout the world on May 10, 2002, said Jen.

    However, the APIEL is a strange title to most Chinese students, and it is unlikely to soon gain the similarity of other already existing exams, such as the TOEFL(Test of English as a Foreign Language), the GRE(Graduate Record Examination), or the IELTS(International English Language Testing System).

    “I have never heard of such a test and I would prefer the IELTS if I need another exam,” said Xu Jingyan, a graduating student from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, who wants to study in England and has already taken the TOEFL.

    Most of Xu’s classmates have never heard of the APIEL. “The APIEL is designed for international students who wish to get university studies in English-speaking countries, including the United States, Britain, Canada, and Australia.” said Jen.

    The APIEL has been adopted, said Jen, because the TOEFL can no longer accurately reflect the abilities of students of using the English language comprehensively in an academic environment. Xinhua reported that a fairly large number of foreign students who earned high scores in TOEFL exam turned out to be very ordinary educational performers after admission.

    Compared with the TOEFL, the APIEL measures a student’s ability to read, write, speak and understand English through testing his or her skills in listening comprehension, speaking with accuracy(精确) and resourcefulness, and writing with clarity and fluency(流畅), Jen said.

72. The United States will introduce a new exam because _______.

   A. more and more students want to get further education in the USA

   B. the Chinese people pay special attention to English studies with China’s entry into the WTO

   C. the already existing exam systems seem to be far from perfect

   D. it will bring the US government quite a lot of money

73. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the selection？

   A. It will take quite a period of time for people to accept the APIEL.

   B. The TOEFL is more popular with the Chinese than the IELTS.

   C. A student will have to take the APIEL if he or she wants to study in English—speaking countries from 2002.

   D. Chinese students will prefer the IELTS rather than the APIEL even in the future.

74. The underlined word “current” in the second paragraph means _______.

   A. modern              B. present             C. standard           D. formal

75. Please decide which of the following would be the best title for this news report.

   A. The Key to English-speaking Countries      B. The Four Skills in Learning English

   C. TOEFL, IELTS and GRE to be Out of Date    D. New Exam Designed for Students

Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure—those who have climbed the highest mountains, travelled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.

　　I would consider bungee jumping (蹦极跳) to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place with a rubber rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people would say are risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of the high cliffs (悬崖).

　　Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists (心理学家) suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. According to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively(相对地)safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.

41. The best title for the passage is________________ .

　　A. Dangerous sports: What and Why

　　B. The Boredom (无聊) of Modern life

　　C. Bungee Jumping: Is It Really Dangerous

　　D. The Need for Excitement

42. People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays because_____________.

　　A. they have a lot of free time

　　B. they can go to hospital if they are injured

　　C. their life is short of excitement

　　D. they can buy food in shops and no longer need to hunt for food

43. Which of the following descriptions about bungee jumping is right?

A. it’s very boring

B. it’s much easier to do

C. it takes much shorter time to get pleasure

D. it’s hard to find a place for it

44. The writer of this passage_________________.

A. is a lover of dangerous activities himself

B. is against dangerous activities

C. mainly tells people about an exciting activity

D. doesn’t say whether dangerous activities are good or bad

Film cameras and digital cameras work in a similar way.

Film cameras

After all, a film camera is basically a light – proof (不透光的) box. It has a lens (镜头) system to focus light onto the film at the back of the camera.

Let’s suppose that we are outside on a beautiful summer day trying to take a picture of the family dog. We are using a film camera. We finally get the dog to lie still. You point the camera at him. What happens? Light goes into the camera lens and hits the shutter. In other words, nothing happens yet. Now let’s say that the dog looks really cute and you decide to snap a picture. What happens? When you press the button, the shutter opens for a very short period of time. A small amount of light passes through and hits the film at the back of the camera. This creates an upside-down and reversed (反向的)image on the film.

    When you finish the roll of the film, you can take it to the photo shop to develop it and you will have a great picture of your dog!

    Cameras come with different lens lengths. Why does it matter? Many small cameras have shorter focal lengths, which means that there is a small distance between the lens and the place where the light focuses at the back of the camera. This gives you a large view of the area you are taking a picture of. Lenses with a long focal length show a smaller area but allow you to focus on distant objects and make them bigger. They are often called telephoto lenses. A good example of a long focus lens is one that is used by sports photographers to get photos of football players as if they were standing right beside them.

Digital cameras

    In digital cameras, the light falls not on film but onto a sensor (传感器) called a CCD (Charge Coupled Device). This digitally converts(转变) light and color into a digital information or pixels (象素). The CCD is the heart of any digital camera and usually the most expensive part ---- depending on how good it is.

68．Which of the following statements is TRUE?

         A．Both digital and film cameras focus light onto the film.

         B．All cameras have a sensor.

         C．Digital cameras and film cameras have something in common. .

         D．Small cameras usually have longer focal lengths.

69．In the “Film cameras” part, you fail to take the picture of the dog because _____.

         A．light goes into the camera lens and hits the shutter

         B．you haven’t aimed the camera at the dog

         C．the image of the dog is not created

         D．the sensor fails to convert light and color into a digital information

70．The main reason that sports photographers can get clear and big photos of players is that _ ___.

         A．they use digital cameras   B．the lens of their cameras is excellent

         C．their focus lenses are short       D．their focus lenses are long

71．Generally speaking, a digital camera’s price is ____.

         A．closely related to the quality of the CCD

         B．irrelevant to the quality of the CCD

         C．closely related to the lens

         D．irrelevant to the lens

IN a surprising discovery about where higher life can survive, scientists have found a shrimp-like creature and a jellyfish (水母) swimming beneath an Antarctic ice sheet.

    About 180 meters below the ice where no light can get through, scientists had figured nothing much more than a few microbes (微生物) could exist.

    That’s why a NASA team was surprised when they lowered a video camera to get the first long look at the underbelly (下腹部) of an ice sheet in Antarctica. A curious shrimp-like creature came swimming by and then parked itself on the camera’s cable. Scientists also pulled up a tentacle (触须) they believe came from a jellyfish.

    “We were operating on the presumption (假定) that nothing’s there,” said NASA ice scientist Robert Bindschadler. “It was a shrimp you’d enjoy having on your plate.”

    “We were just gaga (狂热的) over it,” he said of the 7.5cm long, orange creature starring in their two-minute video. Technically, it’s not a shrimp. It’s a Lyssianasid amphipod (片脚类动物), which is distantly related to the shrimp.

    The video is likely to inspire experts to rethink what they know about life in harsh (苛刻的) environments. And it has scientists thinking that if shrimp-like creatures can live below 180 meters of Antarctic ice in freezing dark water, what about other cold places? What about Europa, a frozen moon of Jupiter?

    Cynan Ellis-Evans, a scientist of the British Antarctic Survey called the finding intriguing (吸引人的). He said it was possible the creatures swam in from far away and don’t live there permanently.

    But Kim, who is a co-author of the study, doubts it. The site in West Antarctica is at least 19 km from open seas. Bindschadler drilled a 20cm-wide hole and was looking at a tiny amount of water. That means it’s unlikely that two creatures swam from great distances and were captured randomly in that small of an area, she said.

    Yet scientists were puzzled at what the food source would be for these creatures. While some microbes can make their own food out of chemicals in the ocean, complex life like the shrimp can’t, Kim said.

    So how do they survive? That’s the key question, Kim said.

    “It’s pretty amazing when you find a huge puzzle like that on a planet where we thought we know everything,” Kim said.

56. Scientists had believed that harsh environments could only have been populated by ______.

   A. jellyfish      B. mammal    C. microbes      D. shrimp-like creature

57. According to Kim, the shrimp-like creature ______.

   A. swam great distances to Antarctic                 B. has always lived in the region

   C. gradually evolved from shrimp                   D. has nothing in common with shrimp

58. The finding is significant in that ______.

   A. it marks NASA’s first Antarctic biological study

   B. it proves there is marine life in the Antarctic

   C. it could inspire further study of life in harsh environment

   D. it shows that Lyssianasid amphipod is closely related to shrimp

59. The last three paragraphs suggest that ______.

   A. researchers will look at the places the creatures came from

   B. ice scientists will drill deeper to find more creature

   C. scientists know very little about the planet they live on

   D. further research will be done about what the creatures live on
