12．Our eyes may be playing tricks on us．New research shows that sometimes people physically see what they want to see．Cornell University social psychologist David Dunning carried out experiments to test whether wishful thinking can actually affect what we see．
"It's well proved from what is experienced in everyday life，and from the laboratory as well，that people think what they want to think，"he says．"We're taking this a step further．We're asking if desires and fears can actually affect what people physically see．"
Dunning and his assistants told volunteers that a computer game would show them either a letter or number to decide whether they would drink orange juice or fruit syrup（果子露）．
As they wrote in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology，the computer would flash an ambiguous picture，which could be seen as the letter"B"or the number"13"．Volunteers who were told that a letter would get them orange juice most often reported seeing"B"．Those who were told that a number would get them orange juice most often saw"13"．
The researchers also used a hidden camera to track（追踪）volunteers'eye movements，particularly the first eye movement．"We don't control them，"Dunning says，"and they don't even know that we are watching them，so it honestly mirrors what a person is seeing．"
"This research suggests that the brain is doing a lot of work between the eye and the conscious awareness to affect what we think，"Dunning concludes．"Before we even see the world，our brain has decided to keep what we want to see and avoid what we don't want to see．"

67．The passage is mainly aboutB．
A．the eye movements of some volunteers
B．new findings on what may affect what we see
C．a social psychologist named Dunning and his assistants
D．a paper in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology

11．On June 26，2009，Michael Jackson saved me．
On that afternoon，I played with my six-year-old peers（同伴） in Heather Peters'backyard．I was enjoying my cake，when Heather asked me where my sleeping bag was．Only then did I know this party was a sleepover．The word"sleep-over"to a six-year-old bed-wetter is like what"cancer"means to an adult．But what if I told them I was a bed-wetter？At least with cancer，people gather at your bedside instead of running from it．
I thought of a way to escape．I would explain that I needed my mother's permission to spend the nights．But as I called my Mom，Heather stood beside me to listen．She gave permission!Then I would be sleeping in the same living room as the other girls．I didn't bring my own nightdress，so Mrs．Peters offered me Heather's nightdress．
As the other girls fell into their sweet dreams，I tried to stay awake．"Do I need to go again？I'll stay up to go one more time…"，"If I…，I'll be embarrassed…．"．Of course，I finally fell asleep．
The next morning，I was the first to wake up．I was warm!I lay in bed frightened and it seemed like hours before the other girls started to wake up．I did the only thing I could do---I pretended that the bed-wetting didn't happen．I got up，took off Heather's nightdress and changed into my clothes like the other girls．
Mrs．Peters walked into the room，and before she could say anything，she stepped right onto the pile of my wet nightdress．My heart stopped as I watched her face burn red．"WHO DID THIS？"She screamed，with a look so frightening．Should I answer？And that was when it happened---Mr．Peters came in and grabbed his wife，"Michael Jackson died!"
The news of the King's death shocked Mrs．Peters，and I got away with it．I got home without the other girls knowing what had happened．

10．The recent  crash landing （强行着陆）of Russian spacecraft Phobos-Grunt has focused attention on the increasing amount of space junk orbiting the planet．So does this mean the Earth has been getting lighter？The BBC's Radio 4programme More or Less turned to a group of Cambridge University academics for the answer．
There are factors that are causing Earth to both gain and lose mass（物体的质量） over time，according to Dr Chris Smith，a medical microbiologist and broadcaster who tries to improve the public understanding of science．
By far the biggest contributor to the world's mass is the 40，000tonnes（公吨） of dust that is falling from space to Earth a year，says Dr Smith．"The Earth is acting like a giant vacuum cleaner（真空吸尘器）powered by gravity in space，pulling in particles of dust，"
Another much less significant reason the planet is gaining mass is because of global warming．
"NASA has calculated that the Earth is gaining about 160tonnes a year because the temperature of the Earth is going up．If we are adding energy to the system，the mass must go up，"says Dr Smith．
This means that in total between 40，000and 41，000tonnes is being added to the mass of the planet each year．
Population growth and new buildings are not a factor，he says，because both of these are actually made up of existing matter on the planet．
But overall，Dr Smith has calculated that the Earth-including the sea and the atmosphere-is losing mass．He points to a handful of reasons．
For instance，the Earth's core （核心）is like a giant nuclear reactor （反应堆）that is gradually losing energy over time，and that loss in energy translates into a loss of mass．But this is a tiny amount-he estimates no more than 16tonnes a year．
But there are some gases such as hydrogen escaping from the atmosphere．Dr Smith says，"The Earth is losing about three kilograms of hydrogen gas every second．It's about 95，000tonnes every year．"
"The other very light gas   this is happening to is helium（氦）and there is much less of that，so it's about 1，600tonnes a year of helium that we lose．"

72．We can learn from the text that Phobos-Grunt most probablyA．
A．faced dangers when travelling in space           B．was forced to land by a terrorist
C．bumped into a satellite                          D．exploded while taking off
73．What can we know about Dr Chris Smith？D
A．He is more interested in broadcasting than science．
B．He is one of the broadcasters of BBC's Radio 4．
C．He never thought the earth would become light．
D．He hopes more people can understand science
74．The underlined word"this"in the last paragraph refers to the fact thatB．
A．the weight of the Earth is changing
B．gases escape from the atmosphere
C．dust is falling from space to the Earth
D．the Earth is getting even warmer
75．We can learn from the textD．
A．the Earth lost much less energy in the past
B．humans can sense the weight loss of the Earth
C．the Earth will become heavier in the near future
D．the Earth can suck up the particles of dust in space．

9．Siri is the name of a new talking virtual（虚拟的） assistant feature on the latest iPhone that can tell you when you have an appointment，where to find a Thai restaurant and what the pollen count （花粉计数）will be．
I have friends who have the phone and love to ask Siri，"What's the meaning of life？"She has an answer，which is impressive．Maybe it takes a circuit board to recognize the special quality of life．But frankly，her answer sounds a little robotic．
Siri，which is a name for the California company that developed her，speaks in an electronically warm，friendly，female voice．So do most on-board navigations systems，voicemail prompts（提示），directory assistance greetings and Julie，the voice of Amtrak's automated reservation system．
Why are the voices that come from our machines often female？
Professor Clifford Nass said that humans develop a preference for female voices that begins when we overhear our mothers speaking while we wait in their wombs（子宫）．
We hear our mothers say in a soft voice，"I love you"over our heads，so a woman's voice conveys comfort and security．We might hear a man's voice somewhere in the background asking，"Have you seen my shoes？or"Hey，where are the spoons？"
Researchers say that while a man's voice can sound"authoritative"，a woman's voice may be taken as more friendly and cooperative．
Rebecca Zorach，director of the Social Media Project at the University of Chicago's Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality，says that companies are probably only choosing the voices that focus groups and market surveys like most．"It's casting，"she says．
But I don't want to begin any campaigns for more male mechanical voices．I prefer to think that the increase of the application of female robotic voices reflects some of the progress women have won in the struggle for equality．Women have achieved so much in so many ways，you can hear it everywhere．

64．The author mentioned Siri to prove thatB．
A．it can tell you the meaning of life．
B．most mechanical voices are female
C．it is a new application on the iPhone
D．it can let out a robotic sound
65．What can't a female voice usually suggest？D
A．Love． B．Safety． C．Kindness． D．Authority．
66．By saying"It's casting"，Rebecca meansA．
A．females play a key role in mechanical voices
B．females are cleverer than males in some aspects
C．females like talking with others more than males
D．females know more about what people need
67．In the last paragraph，the author thinks thatC．
A．women have much sweeter voices than men
B．women have made progress in robot designing
C．women have won more equal rights in society
D．women are still prejudiced in robotic field．

8．A patent is the tool that can be used to prevent people from making，selling，offering to sell or importing the patented items without permission．According to the patent law，any person who"invents any new and useful process，machine，or composition （成分） of matter，or any new and useful improvement may obtain a patent．"
The law has described the limits of the field of subject matter that can be patented，and thus it has been held that the laws of nature，physical phenomena，and abstract ideas are not patentable subject matter．A patent cannot be obtained upon just an idea or suggestion．
In order for an invention to be patentable it must be new as described in the patent law，which also states that an invention cannot be patented if："（a） the invention was known or used by others in this country"，or"（b）the invention was patented or described in a printed publication in this or a foreign country"，（c） the invention was in public use or on sale in this country more than one year before the application for patent"．
Moreover，even if the subject matter sought to be patented is not exactly shown by the previous art，and involves one or more differences over the most nearly similar thing already known，a patent may still be refused．The subject matter sought to be patented must be fully different from what has been used or described before in the area of technology related to the invention．For example，the substitutions of one color for another，or changes in size，are not patentable．

56．We can learn from the text that a patentB．
A．is a legal limit to the spread of most new inventions
B．serves as an effective tool to protect inventors'rights
C．proves necessary when people want to invent something
D．is a permit for using a new invention by the inventor
57．Which of the following can not be patented according to the patent law？D
A．A new computing tool． B．A new packaging for a product．
C．A new waste treatment method． D．A new economic theory．
58．We can infer from the text thatB．
A．it's not easy to put new inventions into production
B．there are strict criteria for applying for a patent
C．a patent will not be applicable in some countries
D．the patent law differs greatly between countries
59．The author writes this text in order to tell usC．
A．there are few inventions that can be patented
B．how to avoid failing to get a patent for a new invention
C．what can or can't be patented under the patent law
D．how to bring the patent law into force．
