  Ask most American children what they want to be when they grow up, and they probably will say“doctor”or“lawyer”.

  Though our culture, our economy(经济),indeed our very security(安全)are heavily dependent on science and engineering, only 12 percent of American high school students graduate with the prerequisites(先决条件)for a career in science or engineering.

  Don't be too surprised.If you ask further why the majority of the high school students would choose a career in medicine or law, the answers will be straight out of some popular TV shows.

  “Doctors help people.They save lives.”“Lawyers beat the bad guys.”Most students would say.

  Now, how about science or engineering as a career choice?The answers will be just as predictable(可预见的),“Get real!Who wants to be a geek?They all are nerds.Besides I hate maths.”

  In our media, scientists and engineers typically are described as introverted(内向的)and humorless.They always wear white lab coats with a collection of pencils in their pocket protectors.They wear glasses with black plastic frames.

  If more students are to choose technical careers, they must have a better view presented to them.

  They need to be told, for example, that the invention of lifesaving equipment saves lives just as surely as the application(应用)of it in the hospital.

  It also might help if someone points out to students that the lawyer who saved the defendant(被告)by introducing the DNA evidence(证据)would have seen him hanged had it not been for the scientists who discovered DNA.

  Whatever we do, until students stop thinking of the term“engineer”as a synonym (同义词)“geek”, it is impossible to expect our children to change their views towards scientists and engineers.

(1)

Which of the following has influenced American students greatly in their choice of their careers?

[  ]

A.

Parents'opinions.

B.

TV shows and publications.

C.

Security measures.

D.

Culture and economy.

(2)

What kind of person do you think a geek or nerd is?

[  ]

A.

Someone who is boring, unfashionable or unsociable.

B.

Someone who loves the career of a scientist or engineer.

C.

Someone who is good at mat hs and loves science.

D.

Someone who is full of unreal ideas in the head.

(3)

In order to change the students'view towards scientists and engineers, the writer suggests that ________.

[  ]

A.

teachers reconsider their way of teaching mathematics

B.

scientists and engineers change their images a little bit

C.

students be told about the wonders of science and engineering

D.

the media stop praising doctors and lawyers too much

(4)

[  ]

A.

scientists and engineers are more important than doctors and lawyers

B.

there are too many scientists and engineers nowadays

C.

American children are hopeless

D.

science and engineering have been dangerously ignored


第三部分:阅读理解:(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
(A)
What makes a house a home? A home is a place of companionship with people in it who love each other, who are harmonious (和谐的) and closer with one another than with those in the workplace or with classmates at school. A home is a place that’s so magnetic(有吸引力的) that it’s difficult to leave. In a home there is love, sharing and appreciation, and the members help one another.
I have seen families on the street. But if they live, sleep, talk, and eat together, they are a family, even if they are poorly off. You don’t need a roof to make a home. The truly homeless are some of the rich people who build multi-million-dollar houses and are too busy to really live in them. The truly homeless are those who have turned their home into a hotel lobby. The parents work and the children misbehave. They don’t talk and eat together every day. They rarely see each other. The truly homeless people are those with babysitters, caretakers, gardeners and maids. However, people are unaware of this, as they are too busy making money outside the home that they don’t live in. This is another way of looking at the rich and the homeless. Who is to be pitied?
Control of the computer and the Internet is also important to make a house into a home. If the computer is on all the time, the house turns into an office, even if everyone is at home. Many homes these days are just offices. Human communication has stopped. The computer eats up all the time that one should be giving to others within the home. Using the computer moderately gives us time for play and communication, not with a screen, but with other people.
56. Which of the following may serve as the best title for this passage?
A. How to make a house a home?
B. What makes a house a home?
C. Who are truly homeless?
D. What is a home for?
57. The purpose of the first paragraph is to _________.
A. tell us that where there is home there is love
B. tell us what people think a home is
C. tell us the author’s concept(理解)of home
D. tell us how to have a happy home
58. The underlined word “those” refers to ________.
A. people who build multi-million-dollar houses
B. people who have lost their family members
C. people who don’t spend time with the family
D. homeless families living on the street in America
59. Which of the following is FALSE according to the passage?
A. A home is a place where you are willing to stay.
B. Even the poorest people can have a happy home.
C. Computers and the Internet are important for a happy home.
D. Sometimes it’s the rich that should be pitied.

Robert Spring, a 19th century forger (伪造者), was so good at his profession that hs was able to make his living for 15 years by selling false signatures of famous Americans. Spring was born in England in 1838 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he prospered(繁荣)by selling his small but genuine collection of early US autographs (亲笔签名). Discovering his ability at copying handwriting he began imitating the signatures of George Washington and Benjimin Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. To lessen the chance of detection (被发现). He sent his forgeries to England and Canada for sale, Forgers have a hard time selling products. A forger cannot approach a respectable buyer but must deal with people who don’t have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways of making their works look real. For example, they buy old books and use the aged paper of the title page, and they can treat paper and ink with chemicals.

In Spring’s time, right after the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the southern states, so Spring invented a respectable young lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General “Stonewall” Jackson. For several years Miss Fanny’s financial problems forced her to sell a great number of letters and manuscripts (手稿) belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. However, all this activity did not prevent Spring from dying in poverty, leaving sharp-eyed experts the difficult task of separating his forgeries from the originals.

     In recent years, remote-sensing technologies have become ordinary in archaeological fieldwork (实
地考察). Such tools for excavation produce rapid results and cause no damage to archaeological sites.
They are highly accurate and usually cost
effective. Here are three of the modern archeologist's most trusted remote-sensing tools.
     As the simplest of the remote-sensing techniques that archeologists use, aerial (空中的) photography
allows experts to see aspects of a site that may be invisible from the ground, such as the way in which
something such as a town, garden, or building is arranged and traces of old walls and roads. The
technique involves taking photographs with conventional cameras and filming from airplanes, helicopters,
hot-air balloons, or other airborne vehicles.
     Geographic Information System (GIS) contains a large amount of field data archeologists typically
collect in and around excavation sites. While in the field, archeologists use GIS on their computers to
make and manage detailed site maps, and they can combine the results of remote-sensing tests with maps of the region created with the aid of Global Positioning System. Resulting maps sort the most
archeologically promising areas and display these sites three-dimensionally.
     Ranging in size from small handheld models that one places against the ground to larger ones that one
drags across a site, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) devices use low-power radio waves to detect
changes underground. Unlike traditional radar, which broadcasts into the air and uses a dish to focus the
returned waves, GPR uses a small but sensitive receiver placed directly against the ground. Depending
on their needs, archeologists can adjust radio frequencies upward for shallow sites or downward for
deeper areas, though GPR devices produce the greatest definition (清晰度) when reading depths of
three feet or less.

1. We can learn from the text that the remote-sensing tools       .
A. will replace traditional archeological tools
B. are more difficult to use than traditional tools
C. have been widely and efficiently used in archeology
D. help archaeologists discover more archaeological sites

2. Aerial photography is helpful       .
A. in seeing what can't be seen on the ground
B. in analyzing how old an archaeological site is
C. in reflecting the changes of an archaeological site
D. in taking large-sized photos of an archaeological site

3. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) devices are different from traditional radar in that       .
A. their sizes are completely different
B. traditional radar uses low-power radio waves
C. the length of waves they send out is different
D. GPR devices can detect changes underground

4. Archeologists can get a detailed site map by       .
A. aerial photography
B. Geographic Information System
C. Global Positioning System          
D. Ground Penetrating Radar
