22、Directions: Complete the following passage by using ONE word for each blank that best fits the context.

It is certain that the problem of waste is becoming more and more serious on campus and it is time for us to reduce it. For     48    reason, we have already wasted a great deal of precious resources      49    as water and electricity. For another reason, our waste adds to      50    burden of our parents and the society. However, some are still puzzled how to reduce waste on campus. Here are some suggestions.

To begin    51    , we should turn off the lights    52    we leave dorms or classrooms so as to save electricity as much as     53    . Secondly, we should not spend too much money. Thirdly, we should stop wasting water when we bath, or clean faces,     54     wash clothes and dishes.

Actually, there are different solutions to different situations. Therefore, I firmly hold the view .    55      we can reduce the waste on campus with our efforts.

20、To discover whether bees can see colors, the following experiment is set up. A table is put in a garden and on the table is a piece of blue cardboard with a drop of syrup on it. After a short time, bees come to the syrup. The bees then fly to their hive and give the syrup to other bees in the hive. Then they return to the feeding-place which they have discovered.

After a while, the blue cardboard with the syrup on it is taken away. Instead of this card, a blue card is now put on the left side of the first feeding-place and a red card to its right. These new card have no syrup on them. Thus, the blue card is on the left, the red card on the right, and there is nothing where the first blue feeding-card used to be. Very soon bees arrive again, and fly straight to the blue card. None fly to the red card.

61. To do the experiment, altogether how many cards do you need to prepare?

  A. Two, one blue and one red.          B. Three, two blue and one red.

19、In China, if you are not married by the time you are 30, you are in for trouble: social blame and pressure from family and friends can get you down. And if you are a woman, it’s even worse.

Many young people get married simply to get other people off their backs (免受别人的指责) . This is a serious compromise (妥协). One ends up not marrying the ideal partner.

There are, however, a few young people who refuse to compromise: if they can’t find a good marriage partner, they say, they would rather not marry at all.

34-year-old Kate is a university lecturer in English. She said she would not describe herself as celibatarian (独身主义者) but simply a woman who hasn’t come across the right man yet. She has sharp comments for the way in which the old generation looks at marriage.

    “Many people think marriage is a duty---to your parents, family and society. Nobody cares if your marriage is happy or not, she said, I think this is very wrong and I intend to live and act according to my own will.”

Happily for her, her parents are open-minded and not put pressure on her. But the same does not apply to her friends. They are constantly trying to get her together with some young man or another. She always refuses politely.

56. The main idea of this passage is that _______ .

A. marriage is a duty to society

B. people should get married before 30 years old

C. late marriage should be respected

D. women should get married earlier than men

57. Miss Kate refuses to get together with some young man or another because _______.

A. she doesn’t think he is the right man she wants

B. he is either too old or too young

C. he is either important or little learned

D. he doesn’t have good manners

58. In the first paragraph the underlined words “in for” refer to _______.

A. interested in       B. satisfied with      C. worried about     D. possible to suffer

59. Which is NOT TRUE according to this passage?

A. In China, one may face social blame and family pressure if one hasn’t got married by the age of 30.

B. Miss Kate’s parents are always worried about her marriage.

C. Miss Kate won’t compromise if she can’t have her ideal marriage.

16、Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems．While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves．University of Missouri（MU） researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient．

“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density（密度）”，said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU．“The radioisotope（放射性同位素） battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries．”

Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro / nanoelectromechanical systems （M/NEMS）．Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe．

“People hear the word ‘nuclear’ and think of something very dangerous,” he said, “However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems．”

His new idea is not only in the battery’s size, but also in its semiconductor（半导体）．Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor．

“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure（晶体结构） of the solid semiconductor,” Kwon said, “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem．”

Together with J．David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery．In the future, they hope to increase the battery’s power, shrink its size and try with various other materials．Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair．

67．Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4_________．

       A．to show chemical batteries are widely applied．

       B．to introduce nuclear batteries can be safely used．

       C．to describe a nuclear-powered system．

       D．to introduce various energy sources．

68．Liquid semiconductor is used to _________．

       A．get rid of the radioactive waste               B．test the power of nuclear batteries．

       C．decrease the size of nuclear batteries          D．reduce the damage to lattice structure．

69．According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery _______．

       A．uses a solid semiconductor                         B．will soon replace the present ones．

       C．could be extremely thin                              D．has passed the final test．

70．The text is most probably a ________．

       A．science news report                                  B．book review        

       C．newspaper ad                                           D．science fiction

15、Like many other nations, China has been busy putting together evacuation （撤侨）plans for its citizens stuck in crisis-torn Libya．The real surprise has been just how many Chinese are living there．The foreign ministry does not know for sure but puts the figure at 30-40,000．

The huge contingent （代表团） in Libya, who work for at least 27 Chinese companies, has brought to light one of the new dilemmas facing China as its economic interests expand．For a mixture of reasons that are partly political, partly business, Chinese workers are now present in many of the most unrest and dangerous parts of the world, including places where anti-Chinese sentiment over jobs and working conditions is on the rise．One of the first wake-up calls was in 2007, when a group of Chinese women were kidnapped in Pakistan, an event which led to the siege of the Red Mosque in Lahore．In the same year, nine Chinese oil workers were killed in Ethiopia．In recent years, Chinese workers have been kidnapped in Cameroon, Congo and Afghanistan．

Publicly, Chinese diplomats admit that the country needs better contingency plans to deal with this sort of situation．Privately, they worry about a different issue: that such incidents will force them to get much more involved in domestic political disputes in far-off lands, pulling the government away from its commitment to a policy of non-interference．The nightmare, a few diplomats and academics admit, would be a large, violent attack on a group of Chinese which then prompted an intense nationalist reaction at home, forcing the government to take the sort of interventionist （干涉主义的） actions it tries to shun．

Beijing gave some indication of how it will respond in the future with the decision on Thursday to send the frigate（护卫舰） Xuzhou, currently conducting anti-piracy tasks off the coast of Somalia, to Libya．Its mission will be to help the evacuation effort, but it is also a warning to any in Libya who might attack Chinese interests, as well as the latest indication of the growing global reach of China’s navy．As Andrew Erickson, a China expert at the US Naval War College says: “This latest initiative（方案） is part of a larger ongoing increase in Chinese power, presence, and influence around the world, and should come as no surprise．China has global interests, cannot free ride forever, and requires a presence in critical areas and situations in order to have a voice．”

63．What is the main idea of the passage?

       A．There are many Chinese workers in the most unrest and dangerous parts of the world．

       B．China should protect workers in the foreign countries．

       C．China are taking actions to bring its citizens back from Libya．

       A．It remains unknown how many Chinese are living in Libya．

       B．A large number workers are working abroad,which bring about advantages and disadvantages．

       C．In no case will the Chinese government take part in solving the political problems in far-off lands．

       D．Our government take immediate action to deal with this sort of situation．

66．What’s Not true about the frigate Xuzhou?

       A．It is conducting anti-piracy tasks off the coast of Somalia．

       B．It will help the evacuation effort．

       C．It is a warning to Libya who might attack Chinese interests．

       D．It indicates that China’s navy can reach an increasing number of parts of the global．

13、Regular child care provided outside home or by someone other than the mother does not in itself undermine （削弱） healthy emotional connections between mothers and their 15-month-old infants（幼儿）, according to a long-term national study．The finding holds even if care begins during the first 3 months after birth and runs for 30 hours or more per week．

Among infants who receive unkind and unresponsive care from their mothers, however, the mother-care relationship may be damaged．" This research helps us put apart complexities regarding child care that have not previously been studied in detail," contends （主张） Jay Belsky, a psychologist at Pennsylvania State University．Belsky and several of his colleagues announced their findings last week at the international conference．

The investigation consists of 1,153 children and their families living in or near Boston．The youngsters, no more than 1 month old when entered the study in 1991, will be tracked until the age of 7．Experimenters gave questionnaires to mothers in their homes and videotaped baby caretaker’s interacting with the kids at ages 1, 6, and 15 months．Independent observers rated the quality of each child care efforts and noted infant nervousness．Unlike most previous studies, this one allows researchers to observe each caretaker’s personality at child nursing, and kid’s emotional reaction by the equipment．After taking family factors into consideration, other psychologists state that the researchers found no relation between the quality of child care and infant’s response．But the experimenters contend that the boys who spent more than 30 hours per week in child care exhibited more emotion for their mothers than other boys who didn’t, and the girls who spent the same hours per week in child care showed a modest （适度的） rise in this emotion．Therefore, quality of child care outside home plays an important role in the connection between mothers and infants．

55．From the first paragraph we know that _____．

     A．mother care is the best according to a national study

     B．child care outside home is the best in accordance with the study

     C．regular child care outside home may play a role as a mother

     D．connections between mothers and infants are damaged by outside care

56．According to the passage, unresponsive care from a mother may _____．

     A．ruin a kid’s growth                             B．harm the mother-child tie

     C．injure a baby’s emotional reaction             D．spoil child’s personality

57．Jay Belsky implies that the study of child care _____．

     A．was not much done in detail in the past

     B．was never carried out in the past

     C．was greatly ignored by psychologists and researchers

     D．was interesting, but very difficult to make discovery

58．The main difference between the investigation and the previous ones is that _____．

     A．the researchers started with only one month old infants

     B．the researchers could rate the quality of child care efforts and analyzed them soon

     C．the researchers were able to give the questionnaires to mothers in their homes

     D．video equipment enabled researchers to observe what was happening directly

59．The girls who received the same hours of child care outside home as the boys show _____．

     A．more emotion for their mothers                 

       B．less emotion for their mothers

     C．a modest rise in mental development           

       D．a slight decline in the personality development
