For questions 1~7, mark Y (for YES)if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage; N (for NO)if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG (for NOT GIVEN)if the information is not given in the passage. For questions 8~10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.

The Hydrogen Economy If the predictions are true, over the next several decades we will all begin to see an amazing shift away from the fossil fuel economy we have today toward a much cleaner hydrogen future. Can society actually make this shift, or will the technological, economic and political barriers keep us bound to petroleum and other fossil fuels for the next century and beyond. In this article, you will explain the benefits of a hydrogen economy, along with its potential problems.

Problems with the fossil fuel economy The whole economy, and in fact the whole of western society,currently depends on fossil fuels. However, there are four big problems that fossil fuels create: Air pollution—When cars burn gasoline, they would ideally burn it perfectly and create nothing but carbon dioxide and water in their exhaust. It is bad enough now that, in the summer, many cities have dangerous levels of ozone in the air. Environmental pollution—The process of transporting and storing oil has a big impact on the environment whenever something goes wrong. An oil spill, pipeline explosion or well fire can create a huge mess. The Exxon Valdez spill is the best known example of the problem, but minor spills happen constantly. Global warming—When you burn a gallon of gas in your car, you emit about 5 pounds (2.3 kg) of carbon into the atmosphere. T he carbon dioxide coming out of every car’s tailpipe is a greenhouse gas that is slowly raising the temperature of the planet. The ultimate effects are unknown, but it is a strong possibility that, eventually, there will be dramatic climate changes that affect everyone on the planet. For example, if the ice caps melt, sea level will rise significantly, flooding and destroying all coastal cities in existence today. Dependence—The United States, and most other countries, cannot produce enough oil to meet demand, so they import it from oil rich countries. That creates an economic dependence. When Middle East oil producers decide to raise the price of oil,the rest of the world has little choice but to pay the higher price.

Advantages of the hydrogen economy The hydrogen economy promises to eliminate all of the problems that the fossil fuel economy creates. Therefore, the advantages of the hydrogen economy include:1. The elimination of pollution caused by fossil fuels—When hydrogen is used in a fuel cell to create power, it is a completely clean technology. The only byproduct is water. There are also no environmental dangers like oil spills to worry about with hydrogen.2. The elimination of greenhouse gases—If the hydrogen comes from the electrolysis of water, then hydrogen adds no greenhouse gases to the environment. There is a perfect cycle—electrolysis produces hydrogen from water, and the hydrogen recombines with oxygen to create water and power in a fuel cell.3. The elimination of economic dependence—The elimination of oil means no dependence on the Middle East and its oil

reserves.4. Distributed production—Hydrogen can be produced anywhere that you have electricity and water. People can even produce it in their homes with relatively simple technology.

Where does the hydrogen come from In the hydrogen economy, there is no storehouse to tap into. We have to actually create the energy in real time. There are two possible sources for the hydrogen: Electrolysis of water—Using electricity, it is easy to split water molecules to create pure hydrogen and oxygen. One big advantage of this process is that you can do it anywhere. For example, you could have a box in your garage producing hydrogen from tap water, and you could fuel your car with that hydrogen. Reforming fossil fuels—Oil and natural gas contain hydrocarbons—molecules consisting of hydrogen and carbon. Using a device called a fuel processor or a reformer, you can split the hydrogen off the carbon in a hydrocarbon relatively easily and then use the hydrogen. You discard the leftover carbon to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. The second option is, of course, doesn’t solve either the greenhouse gas problem (because there is still carbon going into the atmosphere)or the dependence problem (you still need oil). However, it may be a good temporary step to take during the transition to the hydrogen economy. The interesting thing about the first option is that it is the core of the real hydrogen economy. To have a pure hydrogen economy, the hydrogen must be derived from renewable sources rather than fossil fuels so that we stop releasing carbon into the atmosphere. Having enough electricity to separate hydrogen from water, and generating that electricity without using fossil fuels,will be the biggest change that we see in creating the hydrogen economy.

Storage and transportation of the hydrogen At this moment, the problem with putting pure hydrogen vehicles on the road is the storage/transportation problem. Hydrogen is a bulky gas, and it is not nearly as easy to work with as gasoline. Compressing the gas requires energy, and compressed hydrogen contains far less energy than the same volume of gasoline. However, solutions to the hydrogen storage problem are surfacing. Once the storage problem is solved and standardized, then a network of hydrogen stations and the transportation infrastructure will have to develop around it. The main barrier to this might be the technological sorting out process. Stations will not develop quickly until there is a storage technology that clearly dominates the marketplace. There might also be a technological breakthrough that could rapidly change the playing field. For example, if someone could develop an inexpensive rechargeable battery with high capacity and a quick recharge time, electric cars would not need fuel cells and there would be no need for hydrogen on the road. Cars would recharge using electricity directly.

Prospects for the future moving to a pure hydrogen economy will be harder. The power generating plants will have to switch over to renewable sources of energy, and the marketplace will have to agree on ways to store and transport hydrogen. These hurdles will likely cause the transition to the hydrogen economy to be a rather long process.

1. The author tends to believe that the burning of gasoline contributes to the dangerous levels of ozone in the air.

2. The Exxon Valdez oil spill happened off the coast of Alaska is an environmental disaster.

3. The ultimate effects of global warming have been clearly and convincingly projected by scientists.

4. According to the author, the production of hydrogen involves relatively simple technology.

5. Hydrogen is considered as a clean source of energy, because the production of hydrogen produces insignificant amounts of carbon dioxide.

6. Electrolysis of water means to split water molecules to create pure hydrogen and oxygen using electricity.

7. A fuel processor or a reformer can extract hydrogen from oil and natural gas containing hydrocarbons,producing water as the only byproduct.

8. To achieve a pure hydrogen economy, the hydrogen must be obtained from ______rather than fossil fuels.

9. As suggested in the passage, the problem of ________must be solved before hydrogen can be widely used, ushering in the hydrogen economy.

10. According to the passage, hydrogen economy may not happen if an inexpensive rechargeable battery is developed with _________and __________.

Section B

Directions:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

Passage One Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.

Almost 200 lunar exploration objectives resulted from the Global Exploration Strategy process. NASA engaged the global space community to develop the objectives by asking the question, “What do we hope to accomplish through lunar exploration?” NASA took the many answers to this question and compiled them into a comprehensive database of almost 200 different things we could do on the moon! The lunar exploration objectives are meant to capture the entire set of activities that anyone involved in lunar exploration may want to pursue. These activities could be carried out by NASA, another space agency, a private company, a university, or anyone else who invests in space exploration. Most importantly, each lunar exploration objective can help achieve the broad goals defined by at least one of the lunar exploration themes. For example, the objective “studying craters on the moon” is linked to the “Scientific Knowledge” theme, since studying craters will help us learn more about the moon and the solar system. By linking the objectives to the themes, organizations such as NASA can better

understand the specific activities necessary to accomplish the goals. NASA will take ideas from the lunar exploration themes and objectives and begin to lay out a timeline for what NASA plans to do on the moon. The themes and objectives are meant to capture the entire set of activities that anyone involved in lunar exploration (a space agency, private firm, university, or other) may want to pursue, as developed by the process described previously. The themes and objectives do not set forth U.S. government or NASA policy. They do not establish a set of activities that NASA or any member of the global space community intends to pursue. The themes and objectives do not reflect whether domestic legislation, international agreements, or both would be necessary to carry them out. NASA merely facilitated development of these themes and objectives, which are simply one data set to consider as the United States and its potential international partners begin to define lunar exploration architectures.

注意:在实考中,此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

B)do not represent U.S. government or NASA policy

C)are not part of U.S. government or NASA policy

D)are not recognized as U.S. government or NASA policy

Passage Two Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.

One hundred years ago, amidst glowing glass tubes and the hum of electricity, the British physicist J.J. Thomson was venturing into the interior of the atom. At the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University, Thomson was experimenting with currents of electricity inside empty glass tubes. He was investigating a long standing p uzzle known as “cathode(阴极)rays.” His experiments prompted him to make a bold proposal: these mysterious rays are streams of particles much smaller than atoms, they are in fact minuscule pieces of atoms. He called these particles “corpuscles”, and suggested that they might make up all of the matter in atoms. It was startling to imagine a particle residing inside the atom—most people thought that the atom was indivisible, the

most fundamental unit of matter. Thomson’s speculation was not unambiguously supported by his experiments. It took more experimental work by Thomson and others to sort out the confusion. The atom is now known to contain other particles as well. Yet Thomson’s bold suggestion that cathode rays were material constituents of atoms turned out to be correct. The rays are made up of electrons: very small, negatively charged particles that are indeed fundamental parts of every atom. Modern ideas and technologies based on the electron, leading to television and the computer and much else, evolved through many difficult steps. Thomson’s careful experiments and adventurous hypotheses were followed by crucial experimental and theoretical work by many others in the United Kingdom, Germany, France and elsewhere. These physicists opened for us a new perspective—a view from inside the atom.

62. By saying that “...J.J. Thomson was venturing into the interior of the atom”,the authors means the scientist was .

A)trying to move into the inside of the atom

B)investing in the scientific research of the atom

C)attempting to study the inside of the atom

D)gaining understanding of the inside of the atom

63. What is NOT true of corpuscles?

A)They are not necessarily the essential parts of every atom.

B)They are the components making up the matter in an atom.

C)They are the tiny pieces inside an atom.

D)They testify the fact that the atom is divisible.

64. The confusion that J.J. Thomson and others found it hard to sort out refers to ______ .

A)the misconceptions about the cathode rays

B)the nature of the matter forming the atom

C)the doubts surrounding their experiments

D)the belief that the atom was indivisible

65. How does modern physics explain “cathode rays”?

A)They are rays that gleam inside empty glass tubes.

B)They are streams of particles much smaller than atoms.

C)They are tiny negatively charged particles in the atom.

D)They are negative electrons inside the atom.

66. What is the significance of J.J. Thomson’s research?

A)It solved the puzzle about cathode rays.

B)It explained the formation of the atom.

C)It paved the way for the understanding of the atom.

D)It proved that the atom has a nucleus surrounded by electrons.

Part ⅠWriting ??Are We Too Dependent on Technology

With fast development of technology, our life is becoming more and more convenient than ever. Without technology, our life would be no different from our ancestors living in caves. But some of us think that now we are too dependent on technology. For example, when we travel to somewhere, we have to rely on cars, trains, ships or airplanes. Seldom do we entertain with the idea of walking on foot. When we want to contact with someone, we’ll pick up a phone or use the Internet. Unlike our ancestors, what we use or eat are not the products of our own labor. Just imagine what would happen if there was a blackout of electricity. The whole world would be plunged into dark ages. In my opinion, we can not refuse the benefits brought by new technologies. However, I do feel that from time to time, we need to go out and enjoy the quiet that nature provides us, thinking that our future should not be restricted by technology.

51. D:associated

be associated with,固定搭配“和……有关联”,这里表示:某些其他的病毒也和普通感冒有关联。

52. H:unlikely

系表结构,unlikely“未必的,不太可能的”。

53. O:form

这里少个名词,可选项中的四个名词account, cause,evidence和form,form为最佳答案,此处意为:天生的免疫形式是肯定存在的。

54. N:evidence

这里少个名词, 此处表示“天生免疫的根据是……”,evidence“迹象,根据”。

55. E:acquired

句子的语法结构是完整的,故应考虑过去分词做宾语补足语,进一步修饰说明宾语immunity。此处意为:免疫能力是从以往的感冒病毒中获得的。

56. J:lessened

这里少个形容词,此句意为:年长的人不容易得感冒是因为他们很少与小孩子们接触,而小孩子是病毒传染的主要来源。lessened“减少的,减弱的”符合题意。

Section B

Passage One

[文章大意]大约200个月球勘测目标起因于全球勘测战略进程。国家航空和宇宙航行局(NASA)以“通过勘测我们希望完成什么?”这样的问题去开发那些目标。NASA针对这个问题给出了许多答案,并且将其整合成为一个关于人们可以在月球从事的大约200种活动的综合数据库。

57. A题干提问月球勘测目标是怎么设定的,对应文中首句Almost 200 lunar exploration objectives resulted from the Global Exploration Strategy process。

58. C题干提问由全球空间团体汇编的大量月球勘测目标表明了什么。文中第一段提到NASA engaged the global space community to develop the objectives by asking the question, “what do we hope to accomplish through lunar exploration?”,第二段首句NASA took the many answers to this question and compiled them into..., 由此可见公众对于月球勘测是很关注的,故答案C合适。

59. C题干提问月球勘测目标是如何被定义的。对应文中第三段首句Most importantly, each lunar exploration objective can help achieve the broad goals defined by at least one of the lunar exploration themes.

60. C题干提问NASA关于月球勘测的目标打算做些什么。文中第四段首句NASA will take ideas from the lunar exploration themes and objectives and begin to lay out a timeline for what NASA plans to do on the moon,由此可见NASA将要为这些目标安排一个时间顺序来勘测,故选答案C。

61. B词汇题。本题实际考查了短语set forth “提出、声称、陈列”,答案B中的represent与此对应。

Passage Two

[文章大意]一百年前,在炽热的玻璃管和电流的嗡嗡声中,英国物理学家汤姆森冒险去研究原子的内部结构。汤姆森进行的实验一开始并没有明确地支撑住他的设想。汤姆森和其他人花费了更多的试验工作去解决他们的疑惑。如今众所周知,原子也是包含其他微粒的,以及电子、电子组成的射线等等。

62. C本题可用排除法,根据venture一词可知这是一个尝试,选项A和C可选,但是从句意上分析,选择答案C。

63. A根据关键词corpuscles(微粒)定位到文中第一段第六行He called these particles “corpuscles”, and suggested that they might make up all of the matter in atoms,故答案A对微粒的描述是不正确的。

64. D题干提问Thomson和其他人发现很难去解决的困惑是指什么。文中第一段末作者提到most people thought that the atom was indivisible,并且Thomson 一开始的实验并没有被人们所接受,所以他们要花更多的实验to sort out the confusion。

65. C题干提问现代物理学对阴极射线是如何解释的。文中第二段第四行The rays are made up of electrons:very small, negatively charged particles that are indeed fundamental parts of every atom.,故选答案C。

66. C题干提问Thomson研究的重要性是什么。本文最后一段中提到Thomson仔细的实验和冒险精神被后来多国的物理学家以实验和理论的形式追从。这些物理学家为我们打开了一个新的视野——观察原子的内部,故选答案C。

M:I do, now that you’ve reminded me of it.

Q:What does the man mean?

12. M:It’s the first of the month already. I’d better draw my money from the bank and pay my phone bill.

W:Shouldn’t you pay the rent and the electricity bill, too?

Q:What does the woman suggest the man do?

13. W:There is a new chef at the restaurant in the shopping mall. They say that he used to work in some five-star restaurant.

M:It remains to be seen whether the new one is any better than the old one.

W:Doesn’t she, though.

Conversation One

M:Susan, I could really use your help this weekend.

W:What is it, John? Another term paper?

M:No, no. This is easy compared to that. My cousin is coming on Thursday. She has an interview at the college and I promised my aunt to look after her. We are going to the game on Friday, but Saturday I’m on duty at the library all day and can’t get out of it. Uh, I was wondering if you could show her around during the day and maybe we can all meet for dinner later.

W:Sure. I don’t have any plans. What kind of things does she like to do?

M:Actually I haven’t seen her for three years. She lives so far away. This will be her first time on a college campus. She is still in high school, you know. So she probably enjoys anything on campus.

W:Well, there is a music festival in the auditorium. That’s a possibility. I don’t know for sure. Everything will be closed down then.

M:Well, how about for the time being? I’ll plan on dropping her off at your place on the way to work, around eleven. But if there is a blizzard, I’ll give you a call and see if we can figure something else out.

W:Sounds good. Meantime I’ll keep Saturday open. We can meet Friday night when we have a better idea of the forecast.

M:I hope this works out. I feel kind of responsible. She won’t know a way around. And I want her to have a good time. Anyway I really appreciate your help. I owe you one.

W:No problem. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.

M:Not many I know. But I’m not sure yet which one to choose.

W:Well, you seem to have doubts about the state university. But its biology department has a fine reputation. What more could a biology major want?

M:Yeah. And they also have internships for seniors. But a friend told me that for the first two years some lectures have a hundred and fifty students. You probably wouldn’t get to know any of your teachers.

W:Well, you might actually. Because those classes also have small discussion sections. Twice a week, and have no more than twenty students.

M:I know. But I’ve heard that they are usually taught by graduate students. At White Stone College all classes are taught by professors.

W:What about Sating? Do you prefer a small town like White Stone? Or a bigger place like the state capital?

M:That doesn’t matter to me. What I do care about is getting individual attention from the faculty than making friends.

W:Look, I’ve known you for four years now and you seem to be a pretty outgoing person. I don’t think you have any trouble making friends at the state university. It sounds to me that you are leaning toward White Stone though?

M:I am. The only problem is that the White Stone’s tuition is really high and I’m not sure I can afford it.

W:You could still apply for a student loan or sign up for a work-study program.

M:Yeah. I think I’ll look into that.

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

Section B

Passage One

The Grand Canyon is running out of space! That sounds illogical, because it is such a large place. However, many people visit the Grand Canyon. They come by bus, by motorcycle, and by car. Some people fly over the canyon in airplanes. Five million people visited the Grand Canyon last year. Most people visited the South Rim of the canyon. Six thousand cars visited that area every day. That was three times the number of parking places there! About 21,000 visitors to the Grand Canyon take raft trips down the Colorado River. This river is at the bottom of Grand Canyon. About 100,000 visitors hike along trails within the canyon. However, the visitors to the South Rim area are the main problem. They use a lot of water for toilets and showers. Plants and animals in the area need this water. The water comes from springs on the side of the rim. New buildings on the rim affect the springs as well. There are other problems outside the canyon that affect the Grand Canyon National Park. Smog from Los Angeles clouds the air. A dam upstream on the Colorado River has changed the water flow. In order to make the Grand Canyon less crowded, there may be new policies. People are talking about requiring reservations to visit the park.

A new twenty-dollar fee is now required to visit the Grand Canyon for the day.

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.

26. How many parking places are there in the Grand Canyon?

27. Which of the following is NOT referred that affect the Grand Canyon?

28. What policies are people talking about protecting the park?

Passage Two

What science fiction once told of other worlds far away is now fact. Astronomers have found another solar system like ours. It was found in the group of stars called Andromeda. The solar system is indeed a fully grown system of planets around the star Upsilon Andromeda. It appears to have three planets, one close in, one at a middle distance, and one farther out. The star is slightly larger than our sun. The planets are huge, like our Jupiter. In the solar system, the inner planet moves around every 46 days, the middle planet every 242 days, and the outer planet every three and a half to four years. The solar system is 44 light years away. Even though this seems far away, in outer space it is close. The sun of the solar system is so near and bright that it can be seen by the naked eye during summer and fall. For twelve years the astronomers searched for suns with planets like ours. Three and a half years ago, they began finding for the first time planets. Astronomers have no clue whether they can support life. Moreover, present technology is not advanced enough to determine what the planets are made of. That, perhaps, is astronomy’s next challenge.

Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.

29. What is NOT true of Andromeda according to the speaker?

30. How much time is needed for the middle planet to circle Andromeda?

31. When can the star of Andromeda be observed by the naked eye from the earth?

32. What is the next challenge for astronomers studying the solar system?

Passage Three

Does freedom of speech or press give people the right to say or write whatever they want? In a recent court case, anti-abortion activists were sued for putting personal information about abortion doctors on the Internet. On the web site were posters with lists of names and addresses of abortion doctors. If doctors were killed, then their names were crossed off the list. When doctors were hurt, their names were “dimmed” on the list. The trial lasted three weeks and then the jury met for five days to decide the case. The jury found the website owners guilty of having a dangerous site that could cause harm or kill abortion providers. Now the defendants who include twelve people and two right-to-life groups must pay four doctors and two women’s clinics one million dollars. Abortion rights lawyers hope this court decision will cause people to stop threatening abortion clinics, and allow doctors to practice medicine without fear. The defendants in the case say that they have the right to speak and publish information about abortion providers. Their lawyers claims that the Internet posters contained criticism and not personal threats. Until another trial is held, the defendants will keep trying to provide anti abortion data to the public.

Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

33. Who were charged in a recent court case?

34. How did the court rule on the case?

35. What would the defendants do after the trial?

Section C

The United Nations Children’s Fund, UNICEF, has just (36)released a report on the “Unite for Children, Unite Against AIDS”(37)campaign launched in October of 2005. The report on claims there are (38)signs of progress, but it calls for greater attention to the needs of children affected by AIDS. One of the biggest problems is the (39)spread of HIV from mothers to children. In 2006, mother-to-child transmission was the main cause of the (40)estimated half-million new infections in children under the age of 15. UNICEF reports that several countries in eastern and southern Africa have made what it calls (41)breakthroughs. They greatly increased the number of mothers (42)receiving antiretroviral drugs which can prevent mother-to-child transmission. However, there are still far too many pregnant women infected with HIV who do not get antiretroviral treatment. Only 9% of them in poor countries were getting the (43)medicines in 2005.UNICEF also reports gains in providing treatment to children who already have HIV or AIDS. Testing programs and health worker skills have improved. (44)Lower drug prices and simpler treatments have also helped in the care of children with HIV/AIDS. (45)Several countries increased HIV treatment for children by combining it with programs at treatment centers for adults. Still there is much more room for progress. Just one in ten infected children worldwide gets antiretroviral treatment. (46)And only 4% of children born to HIV infected mothers receive drugs to prevent infections that can be deadly.

Halloween On October 31st, dozens of children dressed in costumes knock on their neighbo rs’ doors and yell “Trick or Treat” when the door opens. Pirates and princesses, ghosts and popular heroes of the day all hold bags open to catch the candy or other goodies that the neighbors drop in. As they give each child a treat the neighbors exclaim over the costumes and try to guess who is under the masks. Since the 800’s November l st is a religious holiday known as All Saints’ Day. The Mass that was said on this day was called AllHallowmas. The evening before became known as All Hakkiwe’en, or Halloween. Like some other American celebrations, its origins lie in both pre-Christian and Christian customs. October 31st was the eve of the Celtic new year. The Celts were the ancestors of the present-day Irish, Welsh and Scottish people. On this day ghosts walked and mingled with the living, or so the Celts thought. The townspeople baked food all that day and when night fell they dressed up and tried to resemble the souls of the dead. Hoping that the ghosts would leave peacefully before midnight of the new year. Much later, when Christianity spread throughout Ireland and October 31st was no longer the last day of the year, Halloween became a celebration mostly for children. “Ghosts” went from door to door asking for treats, or else a trick would be played on the owners of the house. When millions of Irish people immigrated to the United States in the 1840s the tradition came with them. Today school dances and neighborhood parties called “block parties” are popular among young and old alike. More and more adults celebrate Halloween. They dress up like historical or political figures and go to masquerade parties(化装舞会). In larger cities, costumed children and their parents gather at shopping malls early in the evening. Stores and businesses give parties with games and treats for the children. Teenagers enjoy costume dances at their schools and the more outrageous the costume the better! Certain pranks (恶作剧) such as soaping car windows and tipping over garbage cans are expected. But partying and pranks are not the only things that Halloweeners enjoy doing. Some collect money to buy food and medicine for needy children around the world. Symbols of Halloween Halloween originated as a celebration connected with evil spirits. Witches flying broomsticks with black cats, ghosts, goblins (小精灵) and skeletons have all evolved as symbols of Halloween. They are popular trick-or-treat costumes and decorations for greeting cards and windows. Black is one of the traditional Halloween colors, probably because Halloween festivals and traditions took place at night. In

Model Test 3----参考答案部分

第三套模拟练习题参考答案 作文参考范文 Information Security The human beings are stepping into the information society. The information industry develops very rapidly, so do the hackers, trick-playing teens, exploring children, fraudsters, and serious white-collar criminals. Thus, information security becomes an impending important issue. In case of information breach, the victims-----government department, an organization or an institution, or a company will inevitably suffer great or small loss. Government may be threatened with national security. Companies may lose opportunities to develop new projects. And the public’s and users’ confidence will be damaged. Then how to deal with this issue? Technology is only a partial solution to information security. What’s more important is that organizations and companies should promote the awareness on information security to its staff. However, since no system can ever be 100 percent secure, a prevention-only approach to information security management is not enough. Companies and organizations should adopt a dual approach to information security management by combing prevention and detection techniques. 快速阅读参考答案 1.

Model Test 1

Model Test 1 The shooting occurred Thursday in a lecture hall at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb , Illinois , north of Chicago. The gunman entered the hall dressed in black and carrying a shotgun and three handguns and began firing as students sought cover under desks. One student who escaped unharmed told reporter his life had changed as a result of what he experienced. Police say the gunman was Steven Kazmierczak,27, a former graduate student in Sociology at the school. Police say he purchased the shotgun and two of the handguns on Saturday, indicating he may have planned the attack in advance, but authorities have not determined a motive for the shooting. Kazmierczak had no criminal record and no history of mental illness. Under Illinois state law he would not been able to purchase a weapon legally if there had been a record of arrests or mental problems. But police say he stopped taking an unspecified medication recently and his behavior became erratic.

系统发育软件使用流程_公开版(精)

系统发育及群体遗传统计分析软件使用流 程(公开版 谢磊左云娟徐新伟 基础知识与注意事项: 1 interleave vs. noninterleave DNA序列数据分段显示为interleave格式,如果一行显示则为noninterleave 格式。 除了PAUP之外,几乎所有系统发育分析软件都要求noninterleave格式的数据。但是当几个片段的序列combine时会得到interleave格式的数据,这时候PAUP 能够识别运输interleave格式的优点就显示出来了。PAUP可以输出noninterleave 格式的数据,所以可以使用PAUP进行数据格式转换以得到能够用于其他软件的数据格式(MAC版PAUP进行菜单操作即可,PC版PAUP方法见附录1*。export format=nexus interleaved=no file=temp.txt (生成noninterleave文件命令 2 log file Log file就是在运算之前建立日志,运算的所有过程都会随时记录在一个文档当中便于以后查询。建议在每次使用PAUP算树时首先进行Log file。 3 存树 系统发育树的保存有两种方式,一种是存成nex格式的树文件,另一种是存成PICT格式的图文件。Nex格式的树文件是用按层次加括号的方式表示类群之间关系,如((A,B(C,D,这个文件可以用PAUP、MacClade或Treeview 打开生成文章需要的图文件。而图文件则是写文章时候需要的文件,一般可以用AI或WORD进行编辑修饰。建议每次运算都要保存树文件,因为树文件可以随时生成图文件,如果只保存图文件一旦数据出现损坏或丢失则需要重新运算。 4 写文章时需要的参数

modeltest使用说明

Medeltest3.7: 准备工作: 下载modeltest软件windows版本,解压到系统盘,这里为C盘,我们这里将其置于根目录。 从https://www.doczj.com/doc/1016839759.html,/phylogenetics/modeltest.html该网站下载文件modelblockPAUPb10.txt和文件ML-search.txt。下载Paup4.0 1.打开paup,打开你自己的filename.nex文件,然后再打开并执行所下载的modelblockPAUPb10.txt文件。 Paup将运行并产生一个名为model.scores的文件。 2.将产生的model.scores文件与modeltest执行程序放置在相同的文件夹内,这里为C:\modeltest3.7\Modeltest3.7 folder\bin\modeltest3.7.win。 3.在开始-运行中输入cmd命令,确认,弹出一个dos界面的窗口,将其默认目录改为model.scores文件所在文件夹,修改方式为在dos窗口输入:cd 盘符:\filename\filename,确认,这里我们输入 cd C:\modeltest3.7\” Modeltest3.7 folder” \bin\。带有空格的文件夹名要用双引号括起来。 4.修改好后,在窗口内输入:Modeltest3.7.win.exe < model.scores > test.outfile,确认。在model.scores 所在文件夹内产生test.outfile文件,即我们所需要的文件。文件test.outfile的文件名可以修改。5.用记事本打开test.outfile文件,里面列出了两种检验标准LRT和AIC分别选出的最优DNA进化模型。6.如果你要在paup中利用最大似然法建树,那么只需将其中一种标准的对应命令拷贝到下载的ML-serch.txt文件中标记的位置,然后用paup打开你的nex文件之后执行该文件即可。或者将命令拷贝到你自己的ML批处理文件内执行。命令既是begin paup;和end;之间的部分。 7.如果是用于mrbayes分析,不能直接拷贝上述命令。 其中base即Base frequencies,代表各碱基出现的频率,顺序为A-C-G-T,其中T的频率没有列出来,不过这些值都可以在test.outfile中找到。在mrbayes中,对应于Statefreqpr选项,该选项默认状态为Dirichlet(1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0),依次为A-C-G-T的频率,即各碱基的出现频率相同。在此需将该选项状态修改为fixed( ),括号中依次填入base中对应的值,中间逗号隔开,如Statefreqpr=fixed(0.1649,0.3340,0.3209,0.1801)。其中各值相加为1,但在mrbayes中,各值范围不定,各选项的值可同时乘或除以某值,如100,1000等,只要比例不变。如在此可修改为Statefreqpr=fixed(1649,3340,3209,1801)。 其中rmat即rate matrix,是碱基位点的变异频率或者说异质率(rate heterogeneity),共6个值,R(a) [A-C],R(b) [A-G],R(c) [A-T],R(d) [C-G],R(e) [C-T],R(f) [G-T]。rmat命令中只列出前五个,最后一个R(f) [G-T]未列出,不过这些值都可以在test.outfile中找到。在mrbayes中,该命令对应于revmatpr选项,该选项默认状态为Revmatpr=Dirichlet(1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0),括号中对应于rmat的各值,顺序不变,依次为[A-C],[A-G],[A-T],[C-G],[C-T],[G-T],各数值间用逗号隔开;在此,我们需将该选项状态修改为fixed,即recmatpr=fixed( ),括号中依次填入rmat中对应的各值,如revmatpr=fixed(1.0000,3.7410,1.0000,1.0000,2.0672,1.0000)。 其中pinvar即Proportion of invariable sites,是不变位点的比率或称among-site rate variation,在mrbayes 中对应于Pinvarpr选项,该命令默认为uniform状态,即pinvarpr = uniform(0,1),取0-1内的一个值,0-1也是该选项的有效范围,在此,我们将该选项修改为fixed固定值选项,即pinvarpr=fixed( ),括号内填入pinvar中对应的数值,如pinvarpr=fixed(0.3076)。 其中Shape即Gamma distribution shape parameter,确定伽马分布的形状参数α,在mrbayes中对应于Shapepr选项,该选项默认状态为α范围内的均一分布,shapepr = uniform(0, α) ,在此修改为shapepr =fixed(1.5422)。 现在假设原命令是: lset Base=(0.1649 0.3340 0.3209) Nst=6 Rmat=(1.0000 3.7410 1.0000 1.0000 2.0672) Rates=gamma Shape=1.5422 Pinvar=0.3076; 修改后对应的mrbayes命令为: Lset nst=6 rates=gamma;
