It is midnight on September 22，2012．The sky above Manhattan，New York is filled with a curtain of colorful light． New Yorkers are fascinated by the beautiful aurora(极光)．However, their fascination is short-1ived．

Within a few seconds，electric bulbs dim(变暗)and flicker(闪烁)，then become unusually bright for a few seconds．Then all the lights second go out．Within 90 seconds，the entire eastern half of the US is without power．

Besides the US，Europe，Japan and China are also hit by the same terrible event．It is a violent solar flare(太阳耀斑)，150 million kilometers away on the surface of the sun．

Science fiction? No．A report funded by NASA and issued by the US National Academy of Sciences in January this year says it could happen．

A massive solar flare is most likely on a spring or autumn night in 2012，according to the report．

Solar flares are huge explosions on the surface of the sun．In a matter of just a few minutes they heat material to many millions of degrees and release as much energy as a billion megatons(百万吨)of TNT explosives．Solar flares release a stream of charged high-energy particles(粒子)．They are called“solar winds”

If one solar‘‘wind’’should hit the Earth's magnetic shield(磁扬)，the result could be terrible for humans.

But there’s no need to run for cover from solar winds． They do not harm 1ife on Earth，they only affect the way we live，especially since we depend so much on modern technology．They can pump extra electricity into power line, and pipelines，causing blackouts and fuel leaks(泄漏). Solar winds are also known to affect mobile phone operations, and may disrupt wireless Internet services．

Moreover, solar winds can prevent normal satellite operations，and disrupt radio communications and navigation systems such as the Global Positioning System．

Auroras are powered by solar wind．This wind blows past the Earth at about 400-700 km per second and creates storms in the Earth’s magnetic environment．In the polar regions these explode into southern or northern polar lights．

The most serious solar storm that hit Earth in history happened in 1859． It caused the failure of telegraph(电报)systems in Europe and North America．

So, for humans，the sun is a double-edged sword． Without1 the sun, there would be no 1ife on Earth． Without the sun， Earth would be a frozen dark ball floating in space．However, on the other hand，the sun can disorder our 1ives from time to time．

10．What is the main idea of the passage?

A．It introduces to readers the advantages and disadvantages of the sun．

B．It describes a science fiction set in Manhattan on 22 September 2012．

C．It shows readers the way in which solar winds form inside the sun．

D．It explains what solar flares are and their effects on human life．

11．The first two paragraphs are written_________.

A．to show a beautiful scene in a true story

B．to describe the beautiful scenery of Manhattan

C．to describe the power problem around the world

D．to introduce the topic of this passage

12．What can we conclude from the passage?

A．Solar flares will do great harm to those who are using the Internet．

B．Solar flares cannot reach as far as the polar regions．

C．Solar flares are huge explosions that happen inside the sun．

D．1f it weren’t’t for our reliance on technology, solar flares probably wouldn’t affect us．

13．Solar winds will likely affect us in the following ways EXCEPT that ．

A．normal satellite operations will be stopped

B．the lights in the areas affected will go out at the same time

C．people on the streets will be struck to death

D．some navigation systems will be out of order

Scotland is a well-developed tourist destination, with tourism generally being responsible for sustaining 200, 000 jobs mainly in the service sector, with tourist spending averaging at £4 bn per year. Tourists from the United Kingdom make up the bulk (主体) of visitors to Scotland. In 2002, for example, UK visitors made 18.5 million visits to Scotland, staying 64.5 million nights and spending £3.7 bn. In contrast, overseas residents made 1.58 million visits to Scotland, staying 15 million nights and spending £806 m. In terms of overseas visitors, those from the United States made up 24% of visits to Scotland, with the United States being the largest source of overseas visitors, and Germany (9%), France (8%), Canada (7%) and Australia (6%), following behind.

Scotland is generally seen as clean, unspoilt destination with beautiful scenery which has a long and complex history, combined with thousands of historic sites and attractions. These include prehistoric stone circles, standing stones and burial chambers, and various Bronze Age, Iron Age and Stone Age remains. There are also many historic castles, houses, and battlegrounds, ruins and museums. Many people are drawn by the culture of Scotland.

The cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow are increasingly being seen as a cosmopolitan（全世界的）alternative to Scotland’s countryside, with visitors year round, but the main tourist season is generally from April to October inclusive. In addition to these factors, the national tourist agency, VisitScotland, have deployed a strategy of niche (适当的) marketing, aimed at exploiting, amongst other things, Scotland’s strengths in golf, fishing and food and drink tourism. Another significant, and increasingly popular reason for tourism to Scotland — especially by those from North America— is genealogy, with many visitors coming to Scotland to explore their family and ancestral roots.

1.People from ________ visited Scotland most.

A new study suggests that the roundtheclock availability that cell phones have brought to people's lives may take a toll on family life. The study，which followed more than 1,300 adults over 2 years, found that those who consistently used a mobile phone throughout the study period were more likely to report negative “spillover” between work and home life—and，in turn，less satisfaction with their family life.

Spillover essentially(本质上)means that the line between work and home begins to become unclear. Work life may invade home life when a parent is taking jobrelated calls at home，for instance—or family issues may start to take up work time. For example，a child may call mum at work，telling her “microwave exploded”，explained Noelle Chesley，an assistant professor of sociology at the University of WisconsinMilwaukee and the author of the study. The problem with cell phones seems to be that they are allowing for even more spillover between work and home.

This may be especially true for working women，the study found. Among men，consistent use of mobile phones seemed to allow more work issues to creep (潜入)into family time. But for women，the spillover tended to go in both directions. Being “connected” meant that work cut into home time，and family issues came into work life.

Cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful exchanges among family members. But there may be ways to control the spillover，according to Chesley. Employers, she said，could look at their policies on contacting employees after hours to make sure their expectations are “reasonable”．For their part，employees could decide that cell phones go off during family time, Chesley said.

1.What does the underlined phrase “take a toll on” probably mean in Paragraph 1?

A．Explaining.

B．Founding.

C．Extending

D．Damaging.

2.According to Chesley，what is the best solution to the problem caused by cell phones?

A．Separate work hours from family time.

B．Refuse to use cell phones.

C．Ignore coming calls during family time.

D．Encourage women to stay at home.

3.We can learn from the passage that ________.

A．cell phones affect men as much as women

B．cell phones seem to be convenient to families

C．cell phones make the line between work and home unclear

D．we can do nothing to solve the problem

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A．How to control the negative spillover caused by cell phones.

B．How work life invades home life.

C．Consistent use of cell phones makes people feel less satisfied with their work.

D．Cell phones cause negative “spillover” between work life and home life.
