SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico. Howling "like a million ghosts", a hurricane with an eye bigger than the islands it threatened blew into the Caribbean on Tuesday with winds that peaked at 170 miles an hour (270 kilometers an hour).
The hurricane, designated Luis, straddled the Lesser Antilles and the Leeward Islands and moved westward toward Puerto Rico, Dominica and Cuba.
The full force of the storm, estimated at 700 miles wide, was expected to strike Puerto Rico on Wednesday.
High seas a hundred miles away it killed a French tourist in Guadeloupe.
"I've been in hurricanes, but I've never been in anything this strong before," said Scott Stripling, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in San Juan.
With confirmed wind gusts of up to 160 miles an hour and an eye 60 miles wide, the hurricane threatened even more devastation than the destructive hurricane named Hugo in 1989.
As the hurricane bore down Tuesday on Barbuda, a tiny island of 1,400 people, winds of at least 146 miles an hour knocked out US wind measuring instruments on neighboring Antigua, 25 miles to the south. There was an unofficial report of gusts up to 175 miles an hour on Antigua.
"It's like a million ghosts howling outside," said Jackie Butler, who teaches in
Davie, in south Florida. She got caught while vacationing in Barbuda with her husband and five children, including their 2-month-old daughter.
Antigua government radio went off the air early Tuesday. Listeners switched to the Baptist station, Radio Lighthouse, which continued broadcasting warnings and news that some roofs had been blown off and many telephone lines downed.

CORTE, Corsica - A Corsican nationalist was shot dead and his wife was badly wounded here Thursday, bringing to three the number of pro-independence militants killed in less than 24 hours.
Noel Sargentini, about 30 years old, was killed when two gunmen opened fire as he drove his car in this northern Corsican town. Both he and his wife, Dominique, were members of the Cuncolta Nziunalista, one of the two main nationalist movements campaigning for independence from France.
The police said the Sargentinis were overtaken by another car that blocked the road. Two gunmen got out and fired through the couple's windshield.
Mr. Sargentini died from bullets to the head and chest. His wife was hit by two bullets in the hip but was said to be out of danger.
Ten people have been shot and killed this year, seven of them since July 13, in a growing feud between the Cuncolta and its rival, the Movement for Self-Determination. The two groups are off-shoots of the banned Corsican National Liberation Front.
In the northern port of Bastia Wednesday evening, Pierre Albertini, 34, was killed in a gun battle in which he managed to wound one of his assailants fatally.
Mr. Albertini, a member of the Movement for Self-Determination, was walking on a main street when three cars pulled up in front of him and the occupants began shooting. He fired back with his Uzi machine-pistol and wounded one of them, Pierre Duriani,24, before being hit in the heart. Mr. Duriani, a Cuncolta militant, died later in a hospital.

III. Read the following passage and choose the best answer.(4 points for each; 20 points in total)
Lessons of Heart Disease, Learned and Ignored
‘Time Is Muscle’
At least half of all patients never call an ambulance. Instead, in the throes of a heart attack, they drive themselves to the emergency room or are driven there by a friend or family member. Or they take a taxi. Or they walk.
Patients often say they were embarrassed by the thought of an ambulance arriving at their door.
“Calling 911 seems like such a project,” Mr. Orr said. “I reserve it for car accidents and exploding appliances. I feel like if I can walk and talk and breathe I should just get here.”
It is an understandable response, but one that can be fatal, cardiologists say.
“If you come to the hospital unannounced or if you drive yourself there, (1) you’re burning time,” Dr. Antman said. “And time is muscle,” he added, meaning that (2) heart muscle is dying as the minutes tick away.
There may be false alarms, Dr. Sopko said.
“But it is better to be checked out and find out it’s not a problem than to have a problem and not have the therapy,” he said.
Calling an ambulance promptly is only part of the issue, heart researchers say. There also is the question of how, or even whether, the patient gets either of two types of treatment to open the blocked arteries, known as reperfusion therapy.
One is to open arteries with a clot-dissolving drug like TPA, for tissue plasminogen activator.
“These have been breakthrough therapies,” said Dr. Joseph P. Ornato, a cardiologist and emergency medicine specialist who is medical director for the City of Richmond, Va. “But the hooker is that even the best of the clot buster drugs typically only open up 60 to 70 percent of blocked arteries —nowhere close to 100 percent.”
The drugs also make patients vulnerable to bleeding, Dr. Ornato said.
One in 200 patients bleeds into the brain, having a stroke from the treatment meant to save the heart.
The other way is with (3) angioplasty, the procedure Mr. Orr got. Cardiologists say it is the preferred method under ideal circumstances.
(4) Stents have recently been questioned for those who are just having symptoms like shortness of breath. In those cases, drugs often work as well as stents. But during a heart attack or in the early hours afterward, stents are the best way to open arteries and prevent damage. That, though, requires a cardiac catheterization laboratory, practiced doctors and staff on call 24 hours a day. The result is that few get this treatment.
“We now are seeing really phenomenal results in experienced hands,” Dr. Ornato said. “We can open 95 to 96 percent of arteries, and bleeding in the brain is virtually unheard of. It’s a safer route if it is done by very experienced people and if it is done promptly. Those are big ifs.”
The ifs were not a problem for Mr. Orr. His decision to go to Brigham and Women’s Hospital proved exactly right. But he did not know that when he chose the hospital —he chose it because (5) his doctor was affiliated with Brigham.
1. “You are burning time” means
A you are wasting time
B you are using time
C you are flaming time
2. “heart muscle is dying as the minutes tick away” means except __ __.
A. As time slip by, the heart muscle stop its working.
B . As every minute pass by, the heart muscle becomes weaker.
C. As time goes on, the heart muscle lose its function suddenly.
3. Which of the following is False
A. The cardiologist is not in favor of the idea that patients drive themselves to the hospital.
B. Patients feel it is a shame to call .
C. Calling an ambulance promptly is the most important thing when the heart attacks.
4. Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. During a heart attack or in the early hours afterward, stents work as well as drugs.
B. The preferred method under ideal circumstances is with angioplasty.
C. Doctors are seeing really temporary results in experienced people.
5. “ his doctor was affiliated with Brigham” means .
A. His doctor was angry with Brigham.
B. His doctor inferior to Brigham.
C. His doctor has connection with Brigham

Lobbyists Out of Shadows into The Spotlight
Recent years have seen an exploration in the number of advocates hired by corporations, labor unions, individuals and other special interests who want to influence actions of the White House, Congress and regulatory agencies Who are these people How do they earn their pay How effective are they
Lobbying, a practice as old as the nation’s government, got its name from the cozy
relationship struck up in lobbies of the Capitol and nearby hotels between members of Congress and those seeking favor.. In the early days, companies would often seal the vote of a politician by simply putting him on retainer.(1)
Lobbyists quickly developed an unsavory reputation of being bagmen who conducted the people’s business around the poker table. Despite periodic scandals and demands for reform, Congress has been reluctant to tamper with laws guaranteeing the right of citizens to petition the government.(2)
Lobbyists come in a variety of guises, but lawyers, trade-association representatives and public relations consultants dominates the field.(3)
A number of lobbyists previously served in key government posts. The roster includes more than 300 former member of Congress, cabinet and White House officials and congressional aides.
Lobby firms come in all sizes. For every large lobbying firm doing business out of a plushy downtown building, there are scores of tiny operations that often deal in specialized issues. Stanley Brand says of his small outfits: “We can be a lot more efficient than the large firms, and some clients aren’t always interested in the large hitters.
Lobbying is big money. A high-powered organization will charge an annual retainer of $ 200,000 or more. To put a premium on winning, some contracts include “success bonus” clauses. With millions or even billions of dollars on the line in bills before Congress, the stake run high.
Lobbyists often are hired not so much to influence officials as to find out what is going on in Washington that could affect a client. Mounting a drive to get voters to work on members of Congress through letters, telephone calls and personal visits can have enormous impact.
Lobbying is a two-way street. When they are not busy trying to sway the views of politicians, the lobbyists are engaged in raising campaign money for those same politicians. Lobbyists, like members of most professions, have their intramural quarrels..
Where lobbyists used to avoid notoriety and preferred to work behind the scenes,
many seek publicity as a useful tool. The Watergate era put a stop to all the underground games being played, so they came out of the closet. (4) Whether they work offstage or in the spotlight, lobbyists promise to continue exerting a powerful influence as long as there’s a Washington.（5）

雅思阅读模拟试题:音乐 Background music may seem harmless, but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories, shop and restaurants in the US. But it soon spread to other arts of the world. Now it is becoming increasingly difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to music. To begin with, “ muzak ” (音乐广播网) was intended simply to create a soothing (安慰) atmosphere. Recently, however, it’s become big business –thanks in part to recent research. Dr. Ronald Milliman, an American marketing expert, has shown that music can boost sales or increase factory production by as much as a third. But, it has to be light music. A fast one has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipts by 38%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they like to buy. Yet, slow music isn’t always answered. https://www.doczj.com/doc/0e12380464.html,liman found, for example, that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals, which reduced overall sales. So restaurants owners might be well advised to play up-tempo music to keep the customers moving – unless of course, the resulting indigestion leads to complaints! ( )1. The reason why background music is so popular is that ______. A. it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it B. it can help to create a soothing atmosphere C. it can boost sales or increase factory production everywhere D. it can make customers eat their meals quickly ( )2. Background music means ________. A. light music that customers enjoy most B. fast music that makes people move fast C. slow music that can make customers enjoy their meals D. the music you are listening to while you are doing something ( )3. Restaurant owners complain about background music because ______. A. it results in indigestion B. it increases their sales C. it keeps customers moving D. it decreases their sales ( )4. The word “ up-tempo music” probably means_____. A.slow music B.fast music C.light music D.classical music

2019年雅思阅读模拟试题：流程图题(1) BAKELITE The birth of modern plastics In 1907, Leo Hendrick Baekeland, a Belgian scientist working in New York, discovered and patented a revolutionary new synthetic material. His invention, which he named 'Bakelite,’was of enormous technological importance, and effectively launched the modern plastics industry. The term 'plastic' comes from the Greek plassein, meaning 'to mould'. Some plastics are derived from natural sources, some are semi-synthetic (the result of chemical action on a natural substance), and some are entirely synthetic, that is, chemically engineered from the constituents of coal or oil. Some are 'thermoplastic', which means that, like candlewax, they melt when heated and can then be reshaped. Others are 'thermosetting'： like eggs, they cannot revert to their original viscous state, and their shape is thus fixed for ever. Bakelite had the distinction of being the first totally synthetic thermosetting plastic. The history of today's plastics begins with the discovery of a series of semi-synthetic thermoplastic materials in the mid-nineteenth century. The impetus behind the development of these early plastics was generated by a number of factors—immense technological progress in the domain of chemistry, coupled with wider cultural changes, and the pragmatic need to find acceptable substitutes for dwindling supplies of 'luxury' materials such as tortoiseshell and ivory.

Next Year Marks the EU's 50th Anniversary of the Treaty A. After a period of introversion and stunned self-disbelief， continental European governments will recover their enthusiasm for pan-European institution-building in 2007. Whether the European public will welcome a return to what voters in two countries had rejected so short a time before is another matter. B. There are several reasons for Europe’s recovering self-confidence. For years European economies had been lagging dismally behind America (to say nothing of Asia)， but in 2006 the large continental economies had one of their best years for a decade， briefly outstripping America in terms of growth. Since politics often reacts to economic change with a lag， 2006’s improvement in economic growth will have its impact in 2007， though the recovery may be ebbing by then. C. The coming year also marks a particular point in a political cycle so regular that it almost seems to amount to a natural law. Every four or five years，European countries take a large stride towards further integration by signing a new treaty： the Maastricht treaty in 1992， the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1997， the Treaty of Nice in 2001. And in 2005 they were supposed to ratify a European constitution，laying the ground for yet more integration—until the calm rhythm was rudely shattered by French and Dutch voters. But the political impetus to sign something every four or five years has only been interrupted， not immobilised， by this setback. D. In 2007 the European Union marks the 50th anniversary of another treaty —the Treaty of Rome， its founding charter. Government leaders have already agreed to celebrate it ceremoniously， restating their commitment to “ever closer union”and the basic ideals of European unity. By itself， and in normal circumstances，the EU’s 50th-birthday greeting to itself would be fairly meaningless， a routine expression of European good fellowship. But it does not take a Machiavelli to spot that once governments have signed the declaration (and it seems unlikely anyone would be so uncollegiate as to veto it) they will already be halfway towards committing themselves to a new treaty. All that will be necessary will be to incorporate the 50th-anniversary declaration into a new treaty containing a number of institutional
