     Photographs are everywhere. They decorate (装饰) the walls of homes and are used in stores for sales
of different goods. The news is filled with pictures of fires, floods, and special events. Photos record the
beauties of nature. They can also bring things close that are far away. Through photos, people can see wild
animals, cities in foreign lands, and even the stars in outer space. Photos also tell stories.
     Reporting the news through photos is called photojournalism. At times photojournalists tell their stories
through a single picture. At other times, they use a group of pictures to tell a story. Each picture is like a
chapter in a book, which can do more than record the facts. It can also be a strong force for social change.
     Jacob Riis was among the first photojournalists. He took pictures of parts of New York City where the
poor lived. Riis believed that poverty (贫穷)　caused crime, and he used photos to help him prove his point.
A few years later, the photos of small children working in factories by Lewis Hine shocked the public. Hine's
pictures helped bring about laws to protect such children.
     Hundreds of pictures may have to be taken in order to get one or two really good photos. It takes science
to have the photo come out clearly and art to make a photo that has a good design and expresses feeling.
Photojournalists make an actual record of what they see. A photo, however, can be both a work of art and an
actual record. It can record an important event as a beautiful or exciting picture.
     As historical and artistic documents (文献), photos can become more important over time. Today
photojournalists still have their pictures appear in newspapers and magazines. They also publish (发表) them
in books and on the Internet.

1. The underlined word "They" in the first paragraph refers to _____.

A. beauties
B. photos
C. goods
D. events

2. The photos of the small children by Hine show us that photos _____.

A. are also works of art
B. are popular ways of reporting news
C. often shock the public
D. can serve as a force for social change

3. What can we learn from the passage?

A. News with pictures is encouraging.
B. Photos help people improve
C. News photos mean history in a sense.
D. People prefer reading news with pictures.

4. The text is mainly about _____.

A. telling the story through picture

By analyzing academic data from 10 states, representing the testing of more than 7.2 millions of youths, U.S. researchers found that gender differences in math scores were extremely small among all ethnic groups in grades 2-11.
These findings are in contrast to earlier results from 1990 that indicate measurable differences favoring males in complex problem-solving, beginning in the high school years.
Janet Hyde from University of Wisconsin and colleagues reported their study results in the journal Science on Friday.
Currently, women are largely absent from the highest levels of careers in mathematics, the physical sciences, and engineering. In the United States, Ph.D. programs in engineering currently average only about 15 percent women, and similar statistics have led to stereotypes (成见)about girls and women lacking in mathematical ability.
Now, it is clear that the general population no longer shows a gender difference in mathematical skills, according to this latest report.
And this new data on academic performance in the United States shows that students are tested frequently on "recall" and "skill/concept" items, but rarely on "strategic thinking"(战略思维) or "extended thinking" concepts.
If standardized tests do not assess (评估)the sorts of reasoning that are crucial to careers in science and math, then the skills may not be taught, putting American students at a disadvantage to students in other countries where testing and instruction focuses on more challenging content. "This is a gap that should be fixed," Hyde said.
56. What is the best title of the passage?
A. A new study result about math.                   B. No gender differences in math.
C. Girls are not good at math.                       D. Girls do better in math than boys.
57. The underlined word “crucial” in the last paragraph most probably means______.
A. necessary      B. unimportant         C. important    D . cruel
58. What Hyde said in the last paragraph means that ________.
A. standardized tests should assess the sorts of reasoning so that the skills may be taught
B. testing and instruction focuses on more challenging content in the USA
C. students in other countries are cleverer than American students
D. students should be tested frequently on "recall" and "skill/concept" items
59. The passage is most probably taken from _______.
A. a science magazine B. a research paper        C. a personal diary D. a newspaper

     Watch out,Yahoo.There's a search engine out there with super speed and accuracy.It's really cool.
     Google is the Web's largest search engine.In just two years it has gained a reputation for surprising
speed and accuracy,delivering exactly what you're looking for in a second.The site now does this 40
million times a day-a number achieved without spending a penny on a TV or newspaper ad.
     Google doesn't need them.In the past six months alone,the site has won a Webby(the online version of the Oscar) for technical excellence,set a new record for search engines by indexing a billion Web pages.
     Yahoo still has 10 times the audience,but Google consistently ranks first in customer satisfaction: 97% of users find what they're looking for most or all of the time."You see people smile when they use it,like they've found something no one else knows about," says Danny Sullivan,editor of an online newsletter.
     No one is smiling more than Larry Page,27,and Sergey Brin,26,who seem certain to become
billionaires when the company goes public,probably sometime next year.They make a great comedy duo.When they first met as Ph.D.students,the pair say,they found each other horrible－"I still find him horrible," adds Brin-but were driven together by a computerscience project aimed at coming up with better ways of searching the Web.
     The idea behind Google is that traditional search engines are stupid.They think relevance is based on
repetition: if you type in a request for Tiger Woods,say,you'll get websites listed according to how many
times those words appear.Not only is this no guarantee of quality,but it's also open to abuse.If you own a Tiger fan site and want to lead more people to it,simply type his name thousands of times in the site's
source code.
1. The first paragraph serves to________.
A. compare two websites

When the research on the effect of electric fields on E．coli was begun in 1962, it was essential that a biologist–specifically, a microbiologist–contributed to the project．She does not want her name used because she did not become a scientific researcher for fame, but rather for the challenge of putting pieces of a scientific puzzle together．

As a girl, she was inspired by the work of great scientists: she read the story of the cure of malaria in the Panama Canal; she also read a biography of Madame Curie．These accounts inspired her to pursue a career in scientific research．After high school, she worked for the Michigan Department of Health, where she did research in biology and microbiology．There, her colleagues saw her talent and encouraged her to pursue science as a career．She went on to earn a bachelor’s degree from Michigan State University in 1948 in medical technology．

When she began working at Michigan State in the early 1960s,

she was balancing the demands of scientific research with the needs

of her family．At that time both of her children were in school．She would work in the lab in the morning while they were at school, go home to see them at lunch, return to the lab for the afternoon, go home for dinner, and return to the lab in the evening, if necessary．At that time, there were fewer women scientists working than there are today, but she encountered several in her career．At the Michigan Department of Health, many of her colleagues were women and, consequently, she did not feel isolated because of her gender–nor did she feel that she was treated differently because she was a woman．

While working at Michigan State, she also felt that she was treated with respect by her peers．Her colleagues, among them doctors and Ph．D．chemists, all treated her as an equal．On the whole, she believes that there is not a great deal of difference between men and women in science．

1．Why does the woman scientist refuse to let out her name?

A．Because she is a shy lady．

B．Because she doesn’t mind her fame．
