14.Japan's nuclear crisis(危机)has caused global alarm and reviews of safety at atomic power plants around the world.
"Japan's nuclear crisis was mainly public panic,not radiation risk",an Australian expert,Michele Kearney,remained cheerful about the future development of international nuclear industry.
Professor Barry Brook,the director of Climate Science at Australian University,said that the crisis will lead international governments to improve measures to protect nuclear plants against extreme natural events,but is unlikely to cut down the use of nuclear power.
"It should be kept in mind that the explosions at the Japanese reactors were chemical,not nuclear,"Brook said,adding that"People don't understand that their bodies are radio-activated,the food that they eat,and the rocks the air and the sunlight,all of that are natural radiation they experienced."
Graham Andrew,an official from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said,"To better prevent an accident like the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan,there must be a high regard  given to matters of safety."
Denis Flory,an IAEA vice director-general and head of the Department of Nuclear Safety and Security,said,"What is needed is that whatever development of nuclear energy cannot be seen without a very strong safety culture,with a very strong safety authority with very strong safety standards,so these are  two aspects which must go hand-in-hand and which must go together with a very strong transparency (透明) process."
Flory said he believes that since Fukushima,more and more people have considered that strong safety measures are"the only way forward"when it comes to developing nuclear energy.
Currently,the IAEA's nuclear safety standards are not a must for member states.However,if a member state is receiving IAEA technical cooperation support,it is required to adopt the agency's safety standards.
It will likely take some time to come to lasting agreements on how nuclear safety must develop,but Flory said that a minister-level conference planned for June will mark the beginning of a process of building stronger standards.

67.Which word best describes Brook's feeling about Japan's nuclear crisis?B
A.Worried.   B.Calm.    C.Terrified.  D.Confused.
68.The underlined"regard"is closest in meaning toB.
A.respect    B.concern   C.standard    D.education
69.What does the underlined"two aspects"refer to?C
A.A strong safety authority and safety standards.
B.A strong safety culture and a strong safety authority.
C.Development of nuclear energy and a strong safety culture.
D.Development of nuclear energy and a strong transparency process.
70.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?B
A.It is impossible to cut down the use of nuclear power.
B.The final agreements on nuclear safety standards are yet to come.
C.Member states of the IAEA have to adopt the agency's safety standards.
D.A minister-level conference is being held to discuss stronger safety standards.

分析 本文讲述了日本核电站泄漏事故给世界核能的安全利用问题敲响了警钟,并对核能利用的安全标准协议的达成充满了期望.

解答 67.B   68.B   69.C     70.B
67.B 根据"It should be kept in mind that the explosions at the Japanese reactors were chemical,not nuclear,"Brook said,adding that"People don't understand that their bodies are radio-activated,the food that they eat,and the rocks the air and the sunlight,all of that are natural radiation they experienced."可知,Brook 认为这次事故没有那么可怕,不是核泄漏,说明他很镇定,故答案为B
68.B 根据To better prevent an accident like the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan,there must be a high regard given to matters of safety."
可知,此处的regard应该是"关系,忧虑"的意思,故答案为B
69.C 根据What is needed is that whatever development of nuclear energy cannot be seen without a very strong safety culture,with a very strong safety authority with very strong safety standards可知,此处的two aspects应该指的是核能利用和稳固的安全措施的发展,故答案为C
70.B 根据but Flory said that a minister-level conference planned for June will mark the beginning of a process of building stronger standards.可知,对核能利用的安全标准协议的达成很快来临了,故答案为B

5.It's often said that the eye is the window to the soul.But in this case,the eye is the window to Windows.At least,that was the goal when EyeTech Digital Systems got the help of some BYU engineering students in creating an all-in-one eye-tracking system.
The idea behind the project was to create an inexpensive computer system that could be controlled completely with a person's eyes.The hope was that this system could be used by people  with disabilities in parts of the world where they can't afford expensive eye-tracking systems.The students created the tablet(书写板)for their yearlong engineering project for their customer,EyeTech Digital Systems,an Arizona-based company that designs and develops eye-tracking software.
A separate BYU engineering team also worked with EyeTech last year to develop and improve the initial eye-tracking tephnology,but this year's focus was to put the eye tracking into a housing similar to a thick PC.The finished product runs Windows 7 and has the eye-tracking system built in.After a quick adjustment,the system can move the mouse to wherever the user is currently looking.All it takes is a blink(眨眼)to click.
Systems with similar abilities can cost upwards of 14,000.Butthestudentswereabletofindcheaper,readilyavailableparts,pushingthecostdowntounder1,500.Jedediah Nieveen,the captain for this year's team,said the project was a challenge,but one that was rewarding on many levels."A lot of times in school you just work problems out of books,"he said."But this allowed us to take what we learned and apply it to something in real life,something that can help a lot of people,and that's really helped me."
Although the primary purpose of the product is to help people with disabilities,the technology could also have broader applications in the fields of research,advertising and even gaming.

2.Who"discovered"America?And who led the first successful attempt to sail around the world in history?
Well,our textbooks have the answers:they are Italian sailor Christopher Columbus and Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan.
However,China's great explorer,Zheng He (1371-1435),may well have beaten his European counterparts (同行) and sailed around the world first.The life and achievements of the legendary sailor are featured in a TV drama,which is being screened on CCTV 8.
Zheng was an officer of the Ming Dynasty's Yongle Emperor.In 1405,the emperor asked Zheng to visit the"Western Seas",which referred to the seas and lands west of the South China Sea.Zheng traveled with 62ships filled with silk and china and 27,800men.The biggest ship was 126meters long and could take the weight of 7000tons.In the following 28years,Zheng made another six successful journeys.He visited over 30countries.Since most of the records of Zheng'voyages have been lost,many historians believe Zheng's achievements have been underestimated. British writer Gavin Menzies,who spent 14years researching the movements of the Chinese fleet,explained it was Zheng who first sailed around the world,in his book,1421,The Year china Discovered America.
While doing research,Menzies said he was shown a map,dated 1459,which included southern Africa and the Cape of Good Hope.Yet the Cape was not"discovered"by Vasco da Gama until 1497.On the map was a note about a voyage round the Cape in 1420-and a picture of a Chinese ship.
"What nobody has explained is why the European explorers had maps.Who drew the maps?"he asks in his book."There are millions of square miles of ocean.It required huge fleets to chart them.If you say it wasn't the Chinese,then who was it?"

63.The underlined word"featured"in the 3rd paragraph can be replaced byB.
A.advertised                    B.shown
C.involved                      D.affected
64.Which of the following is the evidence to prove that America was discovered by the Chinese according to Gavin Menzies?C
A.Textbooks.                   B.History books.
C.An ancient map.              D.Zheng's logbooks.
65.With most of Zheng's logbooks lost,people today are not sure ofA.
A.the exact places Zheng He reached on his voyages
B.the scale of the fleet on Zheng He's voyages
C.the times of Zheng He's successful voyages
D.the purpose of Zheng He's voyages
66.Which of the following is a definite fact about the Cape of Good Hope?A
A.It was discovered by Vasco da Gama.
B.It was discovered by the Chinese.
C.It was discovered by Christopher Columbus.
D.It was discovered by Ferdinand Magellan.
9.In 1986,when Carlo Petrini first coined the term"Slow Food,"he organized locally in his native Italy to preserve the food and wine culture and protest fast food.
Today,slow food has spread to 132 countries with over 85,000 members,addressing worldwide issues like farmer equity and environmental stewardship-the actions people take to respect the rights of all living things and all environments,to contribute to healthy and livable communities.
Characterized by Slow Food International as"good,clean,and fair food,"slow food must enrich the eaters life,have no negative impact on human or environmental health,and compensate fairly for food producers'work.
The average American meal travels about 1500 miles to its final destination,with producing of food traveling by plane from overseas and other items shipped across the country
However,cost for food travel and heavy processing are not the only problems in the food industry that the environment faces.Industrial agriculture also has unsustainable practices like inefficient water use and decreased biodiversity.Our ideas in feeding ourselves are exceptional,but at various points our technologies come into conflict with nature^ways of doing things.A great many of the health and environmental problems created by our food system owe to our attempts to oversimplify natures complexities,at both the growing and the eating ends of our food chain.
‘Slowing"food,by purchasing locally and sustainably,allows consumers to reduce the impact of"food miles"and develop a closer relationship with their food producers."We need to change our food system,"said David Prior,organizer of Slow Food Nation奂 Eat-In."Our current food system is sick and we need to support farmers and agriculture to ensure that everyone has the right to nutritious food."
60.The main idea of the passage can be summarized asA
A.why slow food is so important
B.the food and wine culture is rich in Italy
C.what you re eating always travels a long way
D.slow food makes the current food system sick
61.According Io the second paragraph,environmental stewardship refers toD.
A.measures of environmental protections
B.ways to establish healthy and livable communities
C.peoples admiration for all the creatures on the earth
D.actions to protect the rights of all living things and environment
62.Slow foods characteristic doesn't lie inD.
A.improving the quality of eaters life
B.providing a fair pay for food workers
C.being friendly to human and environmental health
D.developing a loose relationship with food producers
63.What is David Priors attitude towards current food system?B
A.Suspicious   B.Unsatisfied C.Indifferent D.Supportive.
6.Most drinks stating that they are fruit-flavored (水果味道的) contain no fruit at all,while most of the rest contain only a small quantity of fruit,according to a study carried by the British Food Commission.
"Shoppers need to check the labels(标签)before buying drinks,though sometimes the actual content can be non-existent,"said Food Commission spokesperson Lan Tokelove."Food production is highly competitive(71)D.It will increase profits,and consumers won't always realize they are being tricked."
    Flavorings are focused on the flavors of natural food products such as fruits,meats and vegetables,or creating flavor for food products that do not have the desired flavors.Researchers analyzed the contents of 28 strawberry-flavored products sold in stores.(72)COf the 11 products that did contain strawberries,five of them contained less than one percent real fruit.In addition,each juice box contained nearly eight teaspoons of sugar.(73)BLet's take jam as an example.Some strawberry-flavored jam was labeled as containing no artificial colors,flavors,or sweeteners,but it contained absolutely no strawberries at all.(74)GConsumers have the rights to know clearly about what they have bought.Under current UK law.Food packages do no not have to distinguish between natural and artificial flavoring."Describing a product as strawberry flavor and covering the surface of the packed with pictures of stawberries is misleading.(75)FUnfortunatcly,it is also legal and widespread,"Tokelove said.
   
A.The products which contain real fruit are popular with people.
B.Even products advertised as more natural often contained no fruit.
C.They found that about 60 percent of them didn't contain any fruit at all.
D.If companies can cut their costs by using flavoring,they are likely to do so.
E.It is important and necessary to demand a small amount of flavoring in the products.
F.Actually the product contains just a tiny percentage of strawberry or even no fruit at all.
G.The Food Commission suggested all flavors used in a product should be listed on the packaging.
