( A )
Even plants can run a fever, especially when they’re under attack by insects or disease. But unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3000 feet away -- straight up. A decade ago, adapting the infrared（红外线的）scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide(杀虫剂）spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don’t have pest problems.
Even better, Paley’s Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flying at 3000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running “fevers”. Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.
The bad news is that Paley’s
company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new
technology and long-term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed
concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts
have no doubt the technology works. “This technique can be used on 75 percent
of agriculture land in the
51. Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are _______.
A. sprayed with pesticides B. facing an infrared scanner
C. in poor physical condition D. exposed to too much sunshine
52. In order to spray pesticide precisely, we can use infrared scanning to ______.
A. estimate the damage to the crops B. draw a color-coded map
C. measure the size of the affected area D. locate the problem area
53. The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties due to _____________.
A. the lack of official support B. its high cost
C. the lack of financial support D. its failure to help increase production
54. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of ______.
A. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce
B. growing concern about wasting too much pesticide on crops
C. the forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture
D. full support from agricultural experts
( B )
When we found him, he was a sorry sight. His clothes were torn, his hands bleeding. Before we reached him, we saw him fall. He lay a moment. Then he pulled himself to his feet, walked unsteadily a few yards through the woods and fell again.
After we got him out, we went back to find the gun that he had thrown down. His tracks showed that for two days he had circled in the forest, within 200 yards of the road. His senses were so dulled by fear and tiredness that he did not hear the cars going by or see the lights at night.
We found him just in time.
This man, like others before him, had simply been frightened when he knew he was lost. What had been a near disaster might have turned out as only a pleasant walk, if he had made a few preparations before he stepped from the highway or off a known path.
Whatever sense of direction that a man may have, it’s still largely a question of observation. A skilled woodsman always keeps an eye on his surroundings. He notes the shape of a mountain, the direction water flows through a swamp, and the way a tree leans across a path. With these in mind, he is still likely to turn around many times, but he is seldom lost.
There are exceptions, of course, and once in a while a man does come across some strange problem that puts him into the “lost” situation. A rainstorm or sudden blizzard may catch him without a compass(指南针) in his pocket. Darkness may find him in a rough area, where travel is dangerous without a light.
When this happens, the normal first reaction(反应) is the fear of being laughed at as a result of his poor knowledge in the woods. He may also be concerned about the inconvenience that he will cause his friends when he doesn’t show up. This false pride may lead him to keep on the move in a false effort to find his way against all difficulties.
The person who thinks ahead is seldom in great danger. He’ll be safe if he observes carefully, thinks ahead, and remains calm.
55. The writer suggested that if the man had not been found, he would have ______.
A. been shot by a gun B. become confused
C. been attacked by wild animals D. been in great danger
56. According to the text, if a person gets lost in the forest, at the very beginning, he would _____.
A. worry about being laughed at
B. push himself to find his way out
C. feel it is convenient to ask for help from his friends
D. feel sorry that he didn’t study hard enough
57. When a person tries to find his way in the woods, ________ is the most important.
A. intelligence B. observation C. direction D. chance
58. The writer tells the story of the lost man as an example of people who_______.
A. go into the woods by themselves
B. don’t know how to signal for help properly
C. are frightened when they think they are lost
D. keep their head when they are in trouble
( C )
Psychologists
in
Mondays are generally seen as the worst day of the week because people feel tired at having to go back to work after a weekend with a different sleep pattern.
There are various reasons why more people feel depressed at this time of year. Many people have unpaid credit card bills for the Christmas presents they bought, and pay day is often not until the end of the month.
As the party season is over, people feel stressed because they have to go back to real life---work; and they may be unhappy with their body image after bingeing on booze, chocolates, and other food at Christmas time.
People may have already failed in their New Year’s resolutions(决定), such as giving up smoking. The bad weather in January can also contribute to people feeling fed up.
Some companies are taking this quite seriously and offering counseling for any staff who is feeling depressed. They hope that helping people as soon as there are signs of depression will avoid absenteeism(旷工). Evidence shows that unreasonable managers who contribute to their staff feeling fed up at this time can expect an uncooperative workforce.
However, it’s not all bad! Many people feel optimistic at this time, that things can only get better. Psychologists offer suggestions of how to overcome feeling blue. These include spending 15 minutes doing a “gratitude exercise” thinking about and writing down what you are grateful for, such as health, family, friends and so on.
Taking up a new hobby, doing some exercise, going to bed earlier, eating a healthy breakfast, and listening to some exciting music, are all recommended as ways to feel more cheerful. To avoid feeling blue next January, experts say that the best things to do is to plan better next December. Spend less on presents, eat and drink less over the festive period, and make more realistic New Year’s resolutions.
59. According to the text, you must pay the credit card bills for the Christmas present before ______.
A. the end of December B. the end of January
C. Christmas Day D. the last Monday of January
60. What does the underlined word “this” refer to?
A. The bad weather in January.
B. Failure in giving up smoking.
C. People feel blue the last full week of January.
D. People’s failure in their New Year’s resolutions.
61. Which of the following may NOT avoid “blue Monday” in the writer’s opinion?
A. Making a better plan for next December B. Doing more exercise
C. Making more New Year’s resolution D. Listening to some uplifting music
62. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. The depression can be overcome. B. Many people feel optimistic.
C. Feeling happy depends on yourselves. D. To avoid feeling blue, you must eat less.
( D )
In many societies, there is often greater acceptance of light skin than dark skin. Light skin may be seen as a mark of beauty, intelligence and success. These beliefs can lead to social pressure even within the same racial or ethnic group, if some members are darker skinned than others.
The result is
that skin lightening has become a common activity across Africa,
They believe that having whiter skin will improve their lives. Many people think they will have a better chance of getting a job or marrying into a better family. Or they want to look like what their society generally considers beautiful.
Some beauty care products and soaps contain chemicals that make skin lighter. This process is also called bleaching. But some the chemicals are extremely dangerous. One of the most dangerous is hydroquinone.
Hydroquinone has been banned in several countries. This chemical has been linked to kidney damage and some kinds of cancer. It also causes low birth weight in babies when mothers use it during pregnancy.
At first, bleaching products make the skin color lighter. But after long-term use they can cause problems. They can even make some skin darker. The chemicals in the products block and break down the natural process that gives color to skin. The skin loses its natural barrier to protect against sunlight. Then the skin can become thick and discolored. Usually the person will use more of the product in an effort to correct the problem, but this only makes it worse.
Fatimata Ly treats skin conditions in the Senegalese
capital.
And these are not the only risks. Experts say some people who change their skin color suffer emotional damage. They feel regret and sadness. They feel that instead of risking their health, they should have learned to love and accept their skin color as it was.
63. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “bleaching” ?
A. whitening B. changing C. lighting D. pleasing
64. Why has the skin lightening become a common activity all over the world?
A. There are many products that can make the dark skin light.
B. Many people with dark skin have no confidence.
C. Relatively speaking, light skin has more advantages over dark skin
D. People with dark skin are forced by the pressure of their families.
65. According to the text the following are the risks using the bleaching products EXCEPT______.
A. blackened fingernails B. permanent skin damage
C. emotional damage D. a waste of time and money
66. From the text we can conclude the writer’s attitude toward using the bleaching products probably is ___________.
A. supportive B. positive C. doubtful D. negative

The beef recall was the largest in American history. But the government rated the health risk as low. No cases of sickness have been reported.

The Agricultural Department bans downer cattle from entering the food supply. The ban is part of measures to protect against the human version of mad cow disease.
At the end of February, the Humane Society brought a lawsuit against the Agriculture Department over a change in its inspection rules. The group says the change made last year could make it easier for sick and injured cows to enter the food supply.
Officials defend the inspection process, but have also announced new measures, including inspections outside approved hours of operation.

the names of some of the stores that were supplied with the products. But under

Nowadays lots of students ask their parents for money to buy things they like. For me, to ask for money is like entering a(n) 36 . I learned this from 37 .
Last year my mother told me that the 38 way I would get my driver’s license before I turned eighteen depended on 39 I paid for the classes myself. “What ?”I asked in 40 .Judging by the look on my mother’s face, I knew 41 that my reasoning would have no 42 on the situation.
Three weeks later, I started working 43 a hostess at a factory, twice a week. A month later I paid $270 for driving lessons, and then over $20 to 44 my permit test ?all paid for by 45 other than yours truly. My pockets were empty 46 as soon as they were filled.
My mother thought that I’d be 47 to do things without her help. The funny thing was that even though I was totally 48 in the beginning. I truly appreciated it, 49 if I had just been handed bills from her.

Scientists have discovered 11 new species of plants and animals in Vietnam, including a snake, two butterflies and five orchid varieties, the World Wildife Fund said Wednesday.
The new species were found in a remote region known as the “Green Corridor” in Thua Thien Hue province in central Vietnam, the international conservation group said. “You can only discover so many new species in very special places, and the Green Corridor is one of them,”Chris Dickinson, the WWF’s chief technical adviser in the region, said in a statement.
The new snake species, the white-lipped keel back, generally lives near streams and eats frogs and other small animals, the WWF said . It has a yellow-white stripe along its head, red dots on its body and can grow to more than 30 inches long.
The new butterfly species are among eight discovered in Thua Thien Hue since 1996. One is a “skipper”, a butterfly that flies in a quick, darting motion.
Three of the new orchid species are leafless, which is unusual for orchids, the WWF said. The other new plant species include one in the aspidistra family, which produces a black flower and can exist in low light ,and arum(海芋属植物), which produces yellow flowers surrounded by funnelshaped leaves.
“It’s great news for Vietnam,” said Bernard O’Callaghan, Vietnam program coordinator for the World Conservation Union. “The jungles and mountains of Vietnam are fascinating places and they continue to surprise scientists.” The WWF said all the new species are exclusive to tropical forests in Vietnam’s Annamits mountain range. It said all the species in the area are under threat from illegal logging, hunting and development.

The Australian continent is a land like no other. Its animals, plants and landscapes have evolved (演化) over one thousand years, and there are about a million different natural species （物种）in Australia. More than 80 per cent of the country’s plants and animals are unique to Australia, along with most of the fish and almost half the birds.
Australia has more than 140 species of marsupials (有袋动物)，including koalas, wombats and the Tasmanian devil, now found only in the Australian wilderness. More than 750 species of birds have been recorded in Australia, 350 of which are found nowhere else in the world. Among them are the kookaburra, the rainbow lorikeet and fairy penguins. There are also 55 differernt species of macropods―the kangaroo family―native to Australia. They vary greatly in size and weight, ranging from half a kilogram to 90 kilograms.
The country has been making every effort to protect its natural heritage. Despite the large size of the continent, the majority of Australians live on the coast and in major cities―around 75 per cent of Australia’s population lives in city areas.
Australia is the driest continent on earth. Its center has one of the lowest rainfalls in the world and about three-quarters of the land is dry. These dry areas extend from the large central deserts to the western coast. Soils in these areas are very poor compared to other deserts. This has given Australians a great challenge.They have to make the best use of the variety of regions to meet the competing demands of agriculture, economy and conservation.

In a survey of 1,500 European hotel managers, Americans were ranked second, behind the Japanese, as the world's best tourists. In the survey, conducted in April by the online travel site Expedia's German branch, Americans were seen as the most likely to try to speak a foreign language and the most interested in sampling local food.
Americans came in third, behind the Japanese and British, as the "most polite" tourists, and third, behind the Japanese and Germans, as "best behaved." And - we're sure this has nothing to do with how the hotel managers view Americans - Americans were ranked far and away as the world's most generous tippers and biggest spenders.
On the other hand, Americans were seen as the shabbiest dressers, the most likely to complain and the second noisiest. Who's louder? Only the Italians.
Some of the other findings: Russians were seen as the least polite travelers, followed by the Israelis and French. The stingiest tippers: the Germans, followed by the French and Israelis.
Italians, by far, were ranked as the best dressers, followed by the French and Spanish. In terms of bad dressing, the British were a distant second to Americans, followed by the Germans.
Who's the most unwilling to try speaking in a foreign language? The French, the British and the Italians, in that order.
The Chinese are the most reluctant to sample foreign food, followed closely by - this is strange - the British, whose home cuisine is probably the world's most seriously laughed at (a little unfairly, perhaps.)
And, finally, the overall award for "worst tourists in the world" goes to the French, with the Indians and Chinese taking home the silver and bronze, respectively.
64．The writer presents the passage here hoping to ________.
A．praise some travelers
B．criticize some travelers
C．present the result of a survey
D．encourage people to travel
65．Considering the best behaviour, the tourists ranking second are from _______.
A．Britain B．America C．Japan D．Germany
66．According to the survey, the worst dressers in tourists are ____.
A．the British B．Americans C．the Germans D．the Spanish

Two University of Oklahoma scientists are starting research that they hope will someday lead to the development of a vaccine（疫苗） to fight against the HIV Virus, which causes AIDS.
The research, to be carried out by Mark Lang, an assistant professor at the OU Health Sciences Center, and microbiologist John West , will examine the basic aspects of the immune system, rather than the complex aspects of the virus.
They theorize that if a key function of the body’s immune system can be found exactly, it could be the first step toward developing a vaccine.
“To develop a new vaccine, we realzed we first have to study and understand the immune system,” Lang said.
Lang said their work will focus on researching the basic antibody responses from Natural Killer―like T―cells . A potential vaccine would contain NKT cells and would improve the immune system’s antibodies, which fight outside invaders such as HIV by preventing them from entering cells or giving the immune system enough of a boost to kill them.
NKT cells, which have been a part of research into cancer and other diseases, have not previously been the focus of HIV research, Lang said.
The research will last 18 months, with tests being performed on mice. The Oklahoma Center is giving $300,000 toward the research, and if the research proves promising, Lang and West will apply to the National Institutes of Health for more funding.
“If we are successful, we will have made an important contribution to the field, but we will still be several steps away from an effective vaccine, ” Lang said.
Lang said that in a best ?case scenario (最好的情况)their research could lead to a vaccine ready for use in about four years.
68．The research to be carried out will focus on .
A、the immune system B、the test performed on mice
C、NKT cells D、the HIV virus
69．The underlined part“a boost ” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “ ”.
A、growth in size B、an amount of time
C、a great number D、an increase in power
70．We can infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 8 that .
A、other researchers need to help them
B、the research seems to be a failure
C、further research needs to be done
D、the vaccine can kill all viruses
71．What would be the best title for the passage?
A、Two Researchers Begin To Study the Immune System
B、NKT Cells Have Been a Part of Research into Cancer
C、The Relationship Between the Immune System and HIV
D、Two Scientists Work To Develop Hiv Vaccine

Middle school teachers in the United States are noticing a new generation of errors coming into their pupils’essays, Associated Press has reported.
An increasing number of students hand in classwork containing words that may confuse adults. For example, they wrote “I WUNT TUBAROXTR” for “I want to be a rock star” and “DLERES PCNU” for“delicious pumpkin”. Middle school theachers say they most frequently encounter “b/c” for “because”, “w/o” for “without” and “4-ever” for “forever”.
Those simple abbreviations (缩略词) and phonetic spellings are known as “instant messaging-speak” (即时消息式语言) or “IM-speak”. Today these words have become so common in children’s social lives that they are finding their way into essays and other writing assignments.
However, the rise of informal communication through e-mail, Internet blogs and cell phone text messaging has not stopped school teachers from telling students the importance of spelling.
“We’ve got a strict policy so they can be penalized for that―we don’t allow it. We talk about the four levels of the language: slang (俚语), colloquial (口语), informal and formal, which apply to both spoken and written language,” said Beverly Arnold, chairwoman of the English and language arts depart-ment at Owasso High School, Oklahoma.
“I think it’s critically important―for both formal and informal communication. We teach kids that they need to learn to exist in a world outside their social networks, and that repuires them to use proper grammar and spelling when they speak and write,” said Marsha Edmonds, director of curriculum in the Tulsa Public Schools, Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Teachers use different strategies to teach spelling than they did 20 years ago, Edmonds explained. Instead of giving students random (随意的) lists of words to master, teachers now draw on vocabulary from the literature their classes are studying or subject matter being covered in science and social studies.
But some educators, like David Warlick, 54, of Raleigh, North Carolina, see the growing young band of instant messengers as a phenomenon that should be celebrated. Teachers should cradit their stuents with inventing a new language ideal for communicating in a high-tech world, said Warlick, who has written three books on technology in the classroom.
72．Many adults feel when seeing the “IM-speak” like “b/c”, “w/o” and “4-ever”.
A、interested B、puzzled C、worried D、disappointed
73．According to Marsha Edmonds, .
A、spelling is only important for formal communication
B、students need to learn to live in their social networks
C、we have four levels of the language: slang, colloquial,
informal and formal
D、students should use proper grammar and spelling when they speak and write
74．Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A、“IM-speak” is becoming increasingly popular in teenagers’lives.
B、Students in the past spent less time in memorizing the new words.
C、Beverly Arnold is very strict with her students.
D、Teachers used to give students random lists of words to remember.
75．It can be inferred from the passage that .
A、all the teachers say “NO”to “IM-speak”
B、school teachers don’t do enough to stop students from using
“IM-speak”
C、teachers still use old-fashioned methods to teach spelling
nowadays
D、David Warlick is a man who enjoys trying new things
