15．When an ant dies，other ants take it out of the nest，often within an hour after its death．This behavior interests scientists and they wonder how ants know for sure-and so soon-that another ant is dead．
One scientist recently came up with a way to explain this ant behaviour．Dong-Hwan Choe is a biologist，a scientist who studies animals and plants．He found that ants have a chemical on the outside of their bodies that signals to other ants，"I'm dead-take me away"when it is dead．
But there's a question to answer：As we know，if an ant is dead，it stops moving．But when an ant is sleeping or knocked unconscious，it is also not moving．However，other ants don't move the living ant out of the nest．How do they know this ant is not dead？Choe found that ants have another chemical on their bodies，which tells nearby ants something like，"Wait-I'm not dead yet"when it is not dead．Choe suspects that when an ant dies，the chemical that says，"Wait I'm not dead yet"quickly goes away．When other ants detect the"dead"chemical without the"not dead yet"chemical，they move away the body．
To test his theory，Choe and his team put different chemicals on ants．When the scientists used the"I'm dead"chemical，other ants quickly moved the treated ant away．When the scientists used the"Wait-I'm not dead yet"chemical，other ants left the treated ant alone．Choe believes this behavior shows that the"not dead yet"chemical overrides the"dead"chemical when picked up by other ants．And that when an ant dies，the"not dead yet"chemical fades away．Other nearby ants then detect the remaining"dead"chemical and remove the body from the nest．
Understanding this behavior can help scientists figure out how to stop ants from invading new places and causing problems．

B．When an ant dies，it can tell others using a certain chemical．
C．A living ant can pretend to be dead using a special chemical．
D．Ants often use chemicals to communicate with each other．
60．Which of the following descriptions about Dong-Hwan Choe is right？C
A．Choe did this study in order to stop ants from invading new places．
B．Choe is a biologist who is only interested in animals，especially in ants．

D．Choe did the research on this ant behavior on his own．

2．Plastic is one of the most important technological discoveries of the 20th century．However，it may soon be replaced．The new development-liquid wood-can replace plastics in all branches of modern-day industries．
Plastic as a material enjoys the biggest demand in the modern world，but it does have a number of drawbacks．First and foremost，plastic isn't recyclable．Secondly，it contains toxins （毒物） helping develop cancerous diseases．Finally，it's made of oil and oil reserves aren't endless．
The liquid wood technology is likely to replace plastic and providing mankind with new materials for many years ahead．Norbert Eisenfreich，a senior researcher at the Faunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology in Germany （ICT），said that arboform，the new material，is made of lignin（木素质），which can be obtained from soft tissues of wood．Once mixed with several other matenals，it turns into solid and non-toxic alternative for plastics．
ICT team leader Emilia Regina Inone-Kauffmann said the wood-working industry separates wood into three basic components，including lignin．Lignin isn't used for the production of paper．Specialists of ICT mixed lignin with several natural materials and thus invented the material which could be melted and molded （铸型）．
When solid，arboform looks like plastic and possesses tho qualitie of polished wood．It can be used for the production of any items．Arboform is already used for the production of car parts which require extra strength．In addition，liquid wood can be recycled repeatedly．The material preserved all of its qualities even if it's reprocessed ten times．
However，the new invention doesn't enjoy an extensive use due to the high content of sulfur（硫） in it．German researchers are sure to reduce the amount of sulfur by 90% very soon to make arboform usable for home needs．

71．According to the passage，plasticC．
A．helps us to reduce the use of petrol
B．helps to protect our environment in some way
C．does harm to our society in some way
D．has been replaced by the newly discovered material
72．What's the advantage of arboform over plastic？C
A．It is easier made from natural oil．
B．It is more widely used in household
C．It is recyclable and friendly to environment．
D．It contains no poisonous materials．
73．The underlined word"altemative"in Paragraph 3meansD．
A．lignin or arboform
B．soft tissues of wood
C．plastics or wood
D．mixture of several materials
74．It can be concluded that German researchers will focus their future work firstly onB．
A．the material's extensive use
B．the content of sulfur in arboform
C．the production cost of arboform
D．the qualities of liquid wood
75．The main purpose of the text is toA．
A．introduce liquid wood which will replace plastic
B．show readers how to produce arboform
C．advertise the new material-arboform
D．advertise new products made of arboform．

12．With alarming regularity，we read about oil tankers having accidents near land and the terrible consequences of the oil spills （泄露） on people，nature，and the environment．
    Millions of dollars have been used in developing special chemicals to help dismiss the spills and to clean up the animals，beaches，and land spoiled by the oil．Unfortunately，when many of these chemicals are used，more damage is caused to the environment，especially to lives in the sea．
    Of all of today's environmental disasters，an oil spill may actually be one of the least serious．Although oil is poisonous，it is a natural material．In the end，it breaks down naturally．There are，of course，long-term effects，but it is usually more serious in the short term．
    Nature by itself works better than chemical materials，but when there is a spill we demand that governments act immediately with as much hi-tech knowledge as possible．In 1967 the tanker Torrey Canyon sank off the Scilly Isles near the coast of England and spilled 120，000 tones of oil into the ocean．If you go there today，you will find it hard to see any sign that it ever happened．
    Governments seem to accept the risk of transporting millions of tons of oil by ship every day so that we can fill up our cars and drive around and cause even more environmental damage．Interestingly，the biggest companies in the world produce cars，and the next biggest supply the gasoline to make them run I
    We should be thinking more about reducing our dependency on oil．Governments should be encouraging research into new technologies，such as cars run by solar power （太阳能），electricity，hydrogen，and so on．Much of this research has，in the past，been held back by the oil，gas，and coal．
    If the world's millions of cars were 10% more efficient （高效的）-and the industry could easily produce cars at least twice as efficient？we would need many fewer tankers crossing the oceans each year．If this happened，the risks of oil spills would be reduced，and the air we breathe would be cleaner and fresher，too．
63．What is the passage mainly talking about？A
A．Oil spills pollution．
B．What oil pollution is．
C．Oil tanker accidents．
D．How to reduce oil pollution．
64．How does the author support the idea that oil spills are not as serious as people believe？C
A．By giving a description．
B．By making an argument．
C．By giving an example．
D．By drawing a diagram．
65．What does the underlined word"risk"in Paragraph 5 refer to？D
A．Transportation depending more on oil．
B．Poisonous oil breaking down naturally．
C．Millions of tons of oil spilling into the sea．
D．More environmental damage being caused．
66．Which suggestion，is made for reducing oil tank accidents according to the passage？B
A．We should build safer tankers in the near future．
B．We should develop new technologies to cut oil use．
C．Tankers should not be allowed to sail near the coastlines．
D．Countries should build more oil pipelines under the sea．

19．Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson，Arizona he moved there a few years ago，and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends．
My earliest memories of my father are a tall，handsome，successful man devoted to his work and his family，but uncomfortable with his children．As a child I loved him； as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him．He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A's and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as"successful"as he was．Whenever I went out with him on weekends，I used to struggle to think up things to say，feeling on guard．
    On the first day of my visit，we went out with one of my father's friends for lunch at an outdoor café．We walked along that afternoon，did some shopping，ate on the street table，and laughed over my son's funny facial expressions．Gone was my father's critical （挑剔的） air and strict rules．Who was this person I knew as my father，who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around？What had held him back before？
    The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood．Although our times together became easier over the years，I never felt closer to him at that moment．After so many years，I'm at last seeing another side of my father．And in so doing，I'm delighted with my new friend．In his new home in Arizona，my dad is back to me from where he was．
56．Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult？D
A．He was silent most of the time．
B．He was too proud of himself．
C．He did not love his children．
D．He expected too much of her．
57．When the author went out with her father on weekend，she would feelA．
A．nervous      B．sorry              C．tired                  D．safe
58．The underlined words"my new friend"in the last paragraph refer toB．
A．the author's son

16．The days of a pain-free visit to the dentist may not be far off．This is thanks to a little Japanese woman in a pink sweater，named Simroid．With a limited vocabulary，Simroid，the 160cm-tall robot is happy to feel your pain．
Simroid is designed to be used at medical colleges．She has realistic looking skin，eyes，and a mouth fitted with replica （仿制） teeth．Her chest also rises and falls as if she is breathing．Simroid releases a clear"ouch!"whenever a trainee dentist presses her teeth too hard with a tool．And she gives a reassuring"that's better"when the drill hits the right place．
"We want to use the robots to train dentists to worry about whether patients are comfortable，and not just focus on medical techniques，"said Naotake Shubui，a professor at Nippon Dental University in Japan who helped develop Simroid．
The robot was one of hundreds of cutting-edge devices on display at the world's biggest robot exhibition last week in Japan．
As scientists improve the design of robots，they could soon be serving tea to office workers or directing shoppers．Today's robots look and act much like the humans who invented them．
In Japan，robots can already be found working as home helps，office receptionists and security guards，as well as on the factory floor．There were more than 370，000industrial robots in use in Japan in 2005，according to a report by Macquarie bank，40percent of the world total，with 32robots for every 1，000workers．The economy ministry believes that the Japanese robot market will be worth more than﹩52billion by 2025．
Human work is being helped，and even replaced，by mechanical efficiency in almost every area，from golf-bag carriers to public toilet cleaners．
But many scientists believe the age of the service robot is not far off．It will arrive once machines are capable of connecting with humans on an emotional level．Judging by the Tokyo exhibition，that process has already begun．

56．Simroid is designed toB．
A．aid dental trainees to focus on their medical techniques
B．train dentists to be able to share patients'feelings
C．help patients relax during dental surgery
D．serve as the dentists'assistance during dental surgery
57．Which of the following about Simroid is NOT true according to the text？C
A．She is a robotic dental patient with a realistic appearance．
B．She will let out a scream whenever she feels a pain．
C．She can communicate a lot with dentists．
D．She is able to react in a human-like way to mouth pain．
58．We can learn from the text thatA．
A．robots are widely used in Japan
B．Japan has taken the lead in developing robots
C．the Japanese robot market has greatest potential in the world
D．the world's biggest robot exhibition is held in Japan every year
59．The phrase"that process"in the last paragraph refers toD．
A．replacing human work with robots
B．improving mechanical efficiency
C．entering the age of the service robot
D．producing a robot capable of connecting with humans on an emotional level．

17．I _________ in a foreign trade company for three years．Still，I don't regret giving up the job and living with my family．（　　）
