1.Scientists around the world have been studying the warming of waters in the Pacific Ocean known as El Nino.The appearance of El Nino is known to affect the weather around the world.Scientists still do not completely understand it.Yet they now find they can use it to tell about the future in different areas of the world.
One example is the work of two scientists at Columbia University in New York,Mark Cane and Gordon Eshel.A scientist of Zimbabwe(津巴布韦),Roger Buckland worked with them.They have found that when El Nino appears,Zimbabwe has little or no rain.This means corn crops in Zimbabwe are poor.The last El Nino was in 1991to 1993.That was when southeastern Africa suffered a serious lack of rain.
The scientists wrote about their recent work in the publication Nature.Their computer program can tell when an El Nino will develop up to a year before it does.They suggest that this could provide an effective early warning system for southern Africa,and could prevent many people from starving.
33.El Nino is known asB.
A.the changing of the weather in southern Africa
B.the warming of waters in the Pacific Ocean
C.the weather which brings drought(旱灾)to Africa
D.the weather phenomenon that brings heavy rains to Africa
34.Scientists study El Nino in order thatA.
A.they can provide a kind of early warning to the place that will suffer from drought
B.they can tell why Zimbabwe has little or no rain
C.they can do some research work in this field.
D.they can put all this information into their computers.
35.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?D
A.Scientists come to understand how El Nino appears.
B.Three scientists from the USA work on this subject.
C.Southern Africa suffered a serious drought and many people died from hunger.
D.El Nino has something to do with Zimbabwe's poor crops.
2.When the Internet powerhouse Yahoo wanted to teach ethics(道德标准) to its employees,it faced a challenge familiar to multinational companies.
Yahoo employs nearly 14,000people at 25sites worldwide.They would feel bored at sitting down in front of a dated video in which actors with 1980s haircuts tell them what to do.So it hired a company called The Network to design a game.In the game,the truck where Yahoo was founded traveled the world,turning into a boat and a helicopter along the way as it visited some of Yahoo's foreign offices.Participants play in game show-like scenarios(场景) that quiz them about conflicts of interest and doing business fairly.And employees note:Yahoo is tracking how well they do.
Such activities draw more enthusiastic participation and teach more effectively than traditional methods.They are described as alternative-reality games (ARGs),involving both interactive and real-world elements.Besides teaching employees,ARGs have also been used in many areas for a number of different purposes.
From a marketing perspective,a number of very successful ARGs have been written as a way to build product awareness.A very popular ARG called I Love Bees was produced to market the 2004video game Halo 2.At its height,I Love Bees received between two to three million unique visitors over the course of three months.
ARGs are more than just a fun way to learn.They have also been used to solve real world problems.An ARG called World Without Oil was created to obtain collective input from players about dealing with the world's dependency on oil.World without Oil simulates(模拟) the first 32days of a global oil crisis and anybody could play by creating a personal story that recorded the imagined reality of their life in the crisis.World Without Oil's success on a small budget has opened the door for similar games to engage mainstream Internet users with climate change,education reform,governmental policy and other timely,vital issues.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)

81.What challenge did yahoo face in teaching ethics to its employees?(How to)draw more enthusiastic participation and teach more effectively.
82.In the game designed for yahoo,participants had to answer questions aboutconflicts of interest and doing business fairly.
83.What are the three major functions of ARG mentioned in the passage?Teaching employees,building product awareness and solving real world problems
84.The success of World Without Oil suggests that ARGs canengage main stream Internet users with more timely,vital issues.
19.A new research has uncovered that culture is a determining factor when interpreting facial emotions(情感).The study reveals that in cultures where emotional control is the standard,such as Japan,focus is placed on the eyes to interpret emotions.Whereas in cultures where emotion is openly expressed,such as the United States,the focus is on the mouth to interpret emotion.
"These findings go against the popular theory that the facial expressions of basic emotions can be universally recognized,"said University of Alberta researcher Dr.Takahiko Masuda."A person's culture plays a very strong role in determining how they will read emotions and needs to be considered when interpreting facial expression."
These cultural differences are even noticeable in computer emoticons(情感符号),which are used to convey a writer's emotions over email and text messaging.The Japanese emoticons for happiness and sadness vary in terms of how the eyes are drawn,while American emoticons vary with the direction of the mouth.In the United States the emoticons:) and:-) show a happy face,whereas the emoticons:(or:-( show a sad face.However,Japanese tend to use the symbol (‘‘) to indicate a happy face,and (;_; )to indicate a sad face.
"We think it is quite interesting and appropriate that a culture tends to mask its emotions.The Japanese would focus on a person's eyes when determining emotion,as eyes tend to be quite subtle(微妙的),"said Masuda."In the United States,where open emotion is quite common,it makes sense to focus on the mouth,which is the most expressive feature on a person's face."

51.The text mainly tells us thatB.
A.cultural differences are expressed in emotions
B.culture is the key to interpreting facial emotions
C.different emoticons are preferred in different cultures
D.people from different cultures express emotions differently
52.Which emoticon is used by Americans to show a happy face?C
A.(;_;)  B.:-(      C.:-)     D.(‘‘)
53.If a Japanese wants to detect whether a smile is true or false,he will probablyD.
A.read the whole face       B.focus on the mouth
C.judge by the voice        D.look into the eyes
54.People used to believe thatD.
A.some facial expressions of emotions were too complex to be recognized
B.people in the world interpreted basic emotions in different ways
C.people could only recognize the facial expressions of basic emotions
D.people all over the world understood basic emotions almost in the same way.
6.There are two basic ways to see growth:one as a product,the other as a process.People have generally viewed personal growth as an external (外在的) result or a product that can easily be identified and measured.The worker who gets a rise,the student whose grades improve,the foreigner who learns a new language-all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.
By contrast (对照),the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine,since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way.The process is not the road itself,but the attitudes,feelings people have,and their caution or courage,as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties.In this process,the journey never really ends;there are always new ways to experience the world,new ideas to try,new challenges to accept.
In order to grow,to travel new roads,people need to have a willingness to take risks,to face the unknown,and to accept the possibility that they may"fail"at first.How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow.Do we see ourselves as quick and curious?If so,we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences.Do we think we're shy and indecisive?Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate,to move slowly,and we think we are slow to adapt change or that we're not smart enough to deal with a new challenge.Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.
These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow.If we protect ourselves too much,then we stop growing.We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.

16.Sleeping in on Saturday after a few weeks of too little shuteye may feel refreshing,but it can give a false sense of security.
New research shows long-term sleep loss cannot be cured that easily.Scientists researched the effects of short-and long-term sleep loss and found that those who suffer long-term sleep loss may function normally soon after waking up,but experience steadily slower reaction times as the day goes by,even if they had tried to catch up the previous night.
The research has important safety significances in an increasingly busy society,not just for shift-workers but for the roughly one in six Americans who regularly get six hours or less of sleep a night.
"We know that staying awake 24 hours without sleep will affect your performance to do all sorts of things,and this effect equals to drinking too much when driving,"said lead researcher Dr.Daniel Cohen of Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital.But when those who suffer long-term sleep loss become all-nighters,"the harm is increased ten times,"Cohen said.
The National Institutes of Health says adults need seven hours to nine hours of sleep for good health.Regularly getting too little sleep increases the risk of health problems,including memory impairment and a weakened immune system.More immediately,too little sleep affects reaction times; sleepiness is to blame for car crashes and other accidents.
It has critically important complicated and unexpected results for anyone who works"crazy hours"and thinks they are performing fine with a few hours of weeknight sleep,said Harris,director at New York's Montefiore Medical Center."Don't think you can just bank up your sleep on the weekend,because it doesn't work that way,"he warned.
61.The text mainly advises peopleC.
A.to sleep more time                         
B.to sleep in on Saturday
C.to sleep scientifically                     
D.to sleep little on weekend
62.People with long-term sleep lossB.
A.are quicker in thinking                   
B.may feel refreshed soon after waking up
C.are surely energetic                        
D.can have a strong sense of security
63.What can we learn from the text?B
A.Most of the Americans get six hours or less of sleep a night.
B.Staying up is worse for those who suffer long-term sleep loss.
C.Traffic accidents have little to do with sleepiness.
D.One in six Americans are all-nighters.
64.Which of the following is the immediate effect of long-term sleep loss?C
A.Health problems                            
B.Immune system
C.Reaction times                              
D.Memory impairment
65.The underlined phrase"bank up"in the last paragraph most probably meansA.
A.pile up      B.pick up      C.add up               D.build up.
3.No one wants to be tested.We would all like to get a driver's license without answering questions about rights of way or showing that we can parallel park a car.Many future lawyers and doctors probably wish they could join their profession without taking an exam.
But tests and standards are a necessary fact of life.They protect us from unskilled drivers,harmful products and dishonest professionals.In schools too exams play a.constructive role.They tell public officials whether new school programs are making a difference and where new investments are likely to pay off. They tell teachers what their students have learned--and have not.They tell parents how their children are doing compared with others their age.They encourage students to make more effort.
It is important to recall that for most of century,educators used intelligence tests to decide which children should get a high-quality education.The point of IQ testing was to find out how much children were capable of learning rather than to test what they had actually learned.Based on IQ scores,millions of children were assigned to dumbed-down programs instead of solid courses in science,math,history,literature and foreign language.
This history reminds us that tests should be used to improve education.Every child should have access to a high-quality education.Students should have full opportunity to learn what will be tested; otherwise their scores will merely reflect whether they come from an educated family.
In the past few years,we have seen the enormous benefits that flow to disadvantaged students because of the information provided by state tests.Those who fall behind are now getting extra instruction in after-school classes and summer programs.In their efforts to improve student performance,states are increasing teachers  salaries,testing new teachers and insisting on better teacher education.
Performance in education means the mastery of both knowledge and skills.This is why it is reasonable to test teachers to make sure they know their subject matter,as well as how to teach it to young children.And this is why it is reasonable to assess whether students are ready to advance to the next grade or graduate from high school.

63.According to the passage,school exams enableA.
A.governments to make right policies
B.students to meet their teachers'requirements
C.teachers to understand if their students have made efforts
D.parents to compare their kids'achievements across schools
64."Dumbed-down programs"in Paragraph 3refer to the programs whichB.
A.lead to high-quality education
B.are less academically challenging
C.are intended for intelligent students
D.enable children to make steady progress
65.Which of the following does the author probably agree with?A
A.Disadvantaged students can benefit from state tests.
B.Tests should focus on what students have actually learned.
C.Intelligent tests decide if children should get a high-quality education.
D.Intelligent tests are helpful in seperating excellent students from poor ones.
66.What is the purpose of the passage?B
A.To re-assess the value of IQ testing.
B.To defend the role of testing in education.
C.To explain what high-quality education means.
D.To call for thorough and complete reform in education.
