1.阅读(15分)Older Volcanic EruptionsVolcanoes were more destructive in ancient history, not because they were bigger, but because the carbon dioxide they released wiped out life with greater ease.Paul Wignall from the University of Leeds was investigating the link between volcanic eruptions and mass extinctions. Not all volcanic eruptions killed off large numbers of animals, but all the mass extinctions over the past 300 million years coincided with huge formations of volcanic rock. To his surprise, the older the massive volcanic eruptions were, the more damage they seemed to do. He calculated the "killing efficiency" for these volcanoes by comparing the proportion of life they killed off with the volume of lava that they produced. He found that size for size, older eruptions were at least 10 times as effective at wiping out life as their more recent rivals.The Permian extinction, for example, which happened 250 million years ago, is marked by floods of volcanic rock in Siberia that cover an area roughly the size of western Europe. Those volcanoes are thought to have pumped out about 10 gigatonnes of carbon as carbon dioxide. The global warming that followed wiped out 80 per cent of all marine genera at the time, and it took 5 million years for the planet to recover. Yet 60 million years ago, there was another huge amount of volcanic activity and global warming but no mass extinction. Some animals did disappear but things returned to normal within ten thousands of years. "The most recent ones hardly have an effect at all," Wignall says. He ignored the extinction which wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, because many scientists believe it was primarily caused by the impact of an asteroid. He thinks that older volcanoes had more killing power because more recent life forms were better adapted to dealing with increased levels of CO2.Vincent Courtillot, director of the Paris Geophysical. Institute in France, says that Wignall‟s idea is provocative. But he says it is incredibly hard to do these sorts of calculations. He points out that the killing power of volcanic eruptions depends on how long they lasted. And it is impossible to tell whether the huge blasts lasted for thousands or millions of years. He also adds that it is difficult to estimate how much lava prehistoric volcanoes produced, and that lava volume may not necessarily correspond to carbon dioxide emissions.2.阅读(15分)Black Holes TriggerScientists have long understood that supermassive black holes weighing millions or billions of suns can tear apart stars that come too close.The black hotels gravity pulls harder on the nearest part of the star,an imbalance that pulls the star apart over a period of minutes or hours,once it gets close enough.Scientists say this Uneven pulling is not the only hazard facing the star.The strain of these unbalanced forces can also trigger a nuclear explosion powerful enough to destroy the star from within.Matthieu Brassart and Jean-Pierre Luminet of the Observatoire de Paris in Meudon,France1,carried out computer simulations of the final moments of such an unfortunate star…s life,as it veered towards a supermassive black hole.When the star gets close enough,the uneven forces flatten it into a pancake shape.Some previous studies had suggested this flattening would increase the density and temperature inside the star enough to trigger intense nuclear reactions that would tear it apart.But other studies had suggested that the picture would be complicated by shock waves generated during the flattening process and that no nuclear explosion should occur.The new simulations investigated the effects of shock waves in detail,and found that even when their effects are included,the conditions favor a nu clear explosion.“There will be an explosion of the star — it will be completely destroyed,” Brassart says. Although the explosion obliterates the star,it saves some of the star…s matter from beingdevoured by the black hole.The explosion is powerful enough to hurl much of the star‟s matter out of the black hole…s reach,he says.The devouring of stars by black holes may already have been observed,although at a much later stage.It is thought that several months after the event that rips the star apart,its matter starts swirling into the hole itself.It heats up as it does so,releasing ultraviolet light and X-rays.If stars disrupted near black holes really do explode,then they could in principle allow these events to be detected at a much earlier stage,says Jules Hatpern of Columbia University in New York,US2.“It may make it possible to see the disruption of that star immediately if it gets hot enough,” he says.Brassart agrees.“Perhaps it can be observed in the X-rays and gamma rays,but it…s something tha t needs to be more studied,” he says.Supernova researcher Chris Fryer of the Los Alamos National Laboratory in Los Alamos,New Mexico,US3,says the deaths of these stars are difficult to simulate,and he is not sure whether the researchers have proven their case that they explode in the process.3.阅读(12分)Researchers Discover Why Humans Began WalkingUpright研究人员发现为何人类开始直立行走Most of us walk and carry items in our hands every day. These are seemingly simple activities that the majority of us don’t question.But an international team of researchers, including Dr. Richmond from GW's Columbian College of Arts and Sciences,have discovered that human walking upright, may have originated millions of years ago as an adaptation to carrying scarce, high- quality resources. The team of researchers from the U. S., England, Japan and Portugal investigated the behavior of modern-day chimpanzees as they competed for food resources,in an effort to understand what ecological settings would lead a large ape —one that resembles the 6 million-year old ancestor we shared in common with living chimpanzees —to walk on two legs.我们大多数人每天行走并且用手携带东西。

2016职称英语理工类a级考试真题及答案全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇12016职称英语理工类A级考试真题及答案Part I Reading Comprehension (40 points)Directions: There are five passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage 1Only very distant relatives score enough “points” to become professional worsted tennis players. There is a nice blend of tomboy and prude in some of today’s good ones. Many of the precocious young titans of the courts have to fight jitters; and in the case of the junior that comes along only once a decade or so, the fight grows veritable when the captain sticks out an unbald head in a kind of harness some fifty-year-old lady put out of so-called clear scraps. (10)The fight against jitter moves in its small phases. At first, the junior finds it relatively easy to bulldoze his way through a local tournament. This gives a boost for bigger game, national and even international tournaments. The real fight is knowing how to hit on a ball on the court. This is the hard one for sexagenarian dotards to analyze—not only because the shot lingers but also because the precise moment for taking the hit comes only once every five seconds, so that knowing where the hit is going to be is batting .200; but knowing the moment is a beserk fight against time, tide and terror. Even some of the worsted pros have been known to chug at the juice to dull the squealing butterflies in their stomach. Other musclemen chug beer or radiators.If a Worst has a “good” b ad day when yards of tennis can go wham, bam, thank you ma’am, with hardly a misdeed loophole, the which what what mucks them up is more likely to come from lack of wind, since their little guts are oiled up like a used motorcycle chain. Caloric starvation due to worry may also be a cause, since as soon as that dirty laundry has gotten hung out to dry, the jitterer feels tired—such is the fight against jitter. When the national champion, a 25-year-old who can top the kiddies aaseily 6-4, 6-1 or make worse a French Korean, despite the wind breaking into three-fourths gales, gets up in themorning to meet some electron-charged fourteen-year-old, it is jitter time again.21. A fast horse may win a __________ easily.A. junior tennis matchB. small tennis gameC. game between prosD. national tennis match【答案】B22. The “moment” in the passage refers to ___________.A. the moment to take the hit on the ballB. the moment to remember the hit on the ballC. the moment to enjoy the hit on the ballD. the moment to watch the hit on the ball【答案】A23.

2016职称英语理工类a级考试真题及答案全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1My Big Sister's Super Hard TestMy big sister Monica just took a really hard test called the 2016 Professional Title English Test for Science and Engineering Class A. She had to study for it for like a whole year! It was all in English which is not even our first language. I'm only 8 years old but I tried to help her prepare as much as I could.First, she had to read all these long, boring articles and books about science and technology topics. There were chapters on mechanical design, information technology, environmental studies, and more. I didn't understand most of it but I let her quiz me on the vocabulary words. Words like "algorithm", "dimensional", "sustainable", and "mechanism." Those were hard!Then she had to practice different kinds of questions they could ask on the test. Like summarizing the main points of a passage, or answering open-ended questions analyzing the information. There were fill-in-the-blank grammar sections toowhich seemed really nitpicky. My favorite part was when she would transcribe a audio recording because I got to listen to the scientists and engineers talking in their funny accents.A few weeks before the test, Monica started doing full practice tests to get ready. They looked so long and exhausting! The listening section alone had around 25 questions and the reading had 40-50 questions, not to mention the writing section where she had to write a whole essay from scratch. I would get so sleepy and bored sitting next to her while she worked through them.Finally, the big day came and Monica went to take the Professional Title test. It lasted over 3 hours! When she came home, she looked beat. I asked how it went and she made a crooked smile and said "I'm not sure, but I gave it my best shot."I gave her a big hug because she worked so hard to get ready.A couple months later, the scores came out online. Monica passed We had a little celebration with cake and sparklers. I was so proud of my big sis. She said scoring highly on this test is really important for getting a higher professional title and pay level as an engineer in China. It was a lot of work but worth it in the end.Now I'll share some of the actual test questions and answers from Monica's test materials so you can see how hard it was:Listening ComprehensionQuestion 1: What is the main purpose of the speaker's experiment?A) To determine the optimal conditions for plant growthB) To study the effects of climate change on agricultureC) To analyze the impact of pesticides on crop yieldsD) To investigate new irrigation techniquesQuestion 2: According to the speaker, which of the following is a disadvantage of the proposed design?A) It is too expensive to implement.B) It requires a large amount of energy.C) It produces excessive noise pollution.D) It has a negative environmental impact.Reading ComprehensionPassage 1 was about the development of renewable energy sources. It described the potential benefits and challenges of solar, wind, and hydroelectric power.Question 1: According to the passage, which of the following is a major advantage of solar energy?A) It produces no greenhouse gas emissions.B) The technology is relatively inexpensive.C) Solar panels require little maintenance.D) It can be implemented in any geographic location.Question 2: The author mentions which of the following as a disadvantage of wind power?A) Wind turbines are unsightly.B) The wind is an intermittent energy source.C) Wind farms require large amounts of land.D) Both B and CTranslationDirections: Translate the following passage from English to Chinese."As the global population continues to rise, putting strain on the world's resources, there is an urgent need to transition to more sustainable practices across all sectors. In manufacturing, adopting a circular economy model can significantly reduce material waste and environmental impact. The basic principle is to design products for longevity, reuse, and recycling rather than disposability. This entails..."WritingPrompt: Advances in artificial intelligence and robotics will have a major impact on the future job market and economy. Discuss some of the potential effects, both positive and negative, that increased automation may have. What steps should societies take to prepare for these changes? Develop your position with relevant reasons and examples.Those are just a few examples, but as you can see the test covered all kinds of science, technology, and engineering topics at a pretty high level. My poor sister worked so hard to master all that advanced material in English! I'm just glad it's over and she passed. Maybe in 10 more years when I'm an adult, I'll have to take it too. But for now, I'll leave the Professional Title English Tests to my big sis!篇2The 2016 Professional Test was Really Hard!Hi everyone! My name is Timmy and I'm 8 years old. Last year, my dad had to take a really difficult English test for his job as an engineer. It was called the 2016 Professional English Test for Workers in Science and Engineering Fields (Level A). I watched him study a ton for it and he let me look at some of the questions afterward. They were super tricky! Let me tell you all about it.There was a listening section where they played conversations and talks in English and you had to answer multiple choice questions. One conversation was between two co-workers discussing a project timeline. The man said "We're already behind schedule on the Bennett project due to those supplier delays." The woman replied "Yes, and our client is getting antsy about the lack of progress." Then it asked what the "antsy" meant and I remembered my dad saying it means nervous or impatient. Tricky vocabulary words like that were all over the listening section!For the reading section, there were long technical passages about things like engineering processes, scientific research, andmanufacturing methods. You really had to concentrate and use all your brain power. I remember one passage was about a new type of renewable energy technology using biomass sources. It explained the chemical processes involved in great detail. The questions asked very specific things about the steps described in the passage. My dad spent a lot of time re-reading those dense passages very carefully.Then there was an awesome section all about technical writing and communication skills. It tested things like how to write clear instructions, describe a technical process, or synthesize information from multiple sources into one report. One question gave a bunch of details about a product design and you had to organize the details into a proper introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion. Another question made you identify the weakness in someone's proposal letter. My personal favorite part!But I think my dad struggled the most with the speaking section. He had to give all his spoken responses in a recording booth with a time limit. One question made him explain a complex scientific concept, like nuclear fusion or something. Another made him propose a solution to a hypothetical technical problem. And he really had to show off his English speaking skillsby using advanced vocabulary, proper grammar, good organization, and clear pronunciation.There was also a writing section where he had to type out things like design specifications, progress reports, proposals, and technical definitions. It was crazy how much writing they expected! One of the essays asked him to recommend whether a company should invest in a new eco-friendly manufacturing process based on weighing the pros and cons. I remember he kept revising and revising his essays to make them perfect.Overall, the whole test seemed incredibly challenging with all the different sections and skills it covered. My dad had to understand complex technical content, speak and write at a professional level, and demonstrate communication abilities - all in his second language of English! I was so proud of him for passing. He said it was one of the most mentally exhausting experiences of his life.I'm glad I'm just a kid and don't have to worry about taking huge tests like that for many more years. For now, I'll stick to my spelling and times tables tests at school! But it was really interesting to learn about the types of challenges that working adults in scientific and engineering fields face. Major props to anyone who can pass that Professional English beast of an exam.I have a whole new appreciation for what my dad does at his job. Let me know if you've ever had to take a crazy difficult test like that before!篇3The 2016 Professional English Test (Level A) for Science and EngineeringHello everyone! My name is Lily and I'm 10 years old. Our teacher Mr. Johnson told us we would be taking a very important test today called the Professional English Test for Science and Engineering. He said it's a test that real engineers and scientists have to take to show they can speak and understand English well.I was a little nervous at first, but then Mr. Johnson reminded us that even though it's a grown-up test, he made it just for us kids. Doesn't that sound fun? Let me tell you all about it!Reading ComprehensionThe first part was reading comprehension. We had to read a few passages and answer questions about them. The first passage was about how airplanes fly. It used some big words like "aerodynamics" and "lift" but Mr. Johnson helped us understand what they meant.One of the questions was: "What causes the wing of an airplane to generate lift?" I remembered from the passage that it's because the wing is tilted just a little bit, so the air flows faster over the top. The faster air moves, the lower the pressure, which pushes the wing up. I got that one right!Another passage was about solids, liquids and gases. It explained how molecules in solids are packed tightly together, while in liquids they can slide around more. And in gases, the molecules just zip around everywhere! The question asked which state has molecules that are most disorganized. I put gases because that's what the passage said.Listening ComprehensionNext was the listening part. Mr. Johnson played some audio clips and we had to answer questions after each one. The first clip was about the life cycle of butterflies. It described how they start as tiny eggs, then become caterpillars who eat a lot. After that, they weave a little cocoon and go through "metamorphosis" - that's a fancy word for the amazing changes they undergo to become beautiful butterflies!One question was: "What do caterpillars do before metamorphosis?" I marked down that they spin a cocoon, because that's what I heard in the audio. Another asked what thefour stages of the cycle are. I wrote: egg, caterpillar, cocoon, butterfly. Nailed it!The next audio clip was about the planet Mars. It covered fun facts like Mars being the fourth planet from the sun, and that it's often called the Red Planet because of its rusty color. A question asked why Mars looks red. The clip explained it's due to iron minerals in the soil - when they get exposed to oxygen, they oxidize or rust, just like an old nail here on Earth.Writing TestThen篇4The 2016 Big Important English Test for Science Smart PeopleHi there! My name is Timmy and I'm going to tell you all about this really hard English test I had to take last year. It was called the 2016 Professional Title English Test for Science and Engineering Subjects - Level A. That's a really long name! I'll just call it the Big Science English Test.The test was super difficult because it was made forgrown-ups who are scientists and engineers and know all aboutcomplicated science and math things. But my parents really wanted me to take it anyway because they said it would be good practice for when I'm older.So early one Saturday morning, I had to go to the testing center downtown. It was in this big building with lots of classrooms. There were so many other kids and grown-ups there too, all looking really nervous. I felt a little scared, but tried to stay brave.When it was time to start, a lady came in and handed out the test booklets. Mine was so thick! It had reading passages, listening sections, writing tasks, and all sorts of stuff. Way more than we normal get for tests at school. The lady explained all the rules really slowly and clearly so everyone understood. Then she set her timer and said "You may begin!"The first part was reading comprehension. I had to read these long, long passages that talked about science topics like physics, chemistry, biology, and computer stuff. The passages used such big fancy words that I'd never heard before. I had to keep looking them up in the dictionary. After reading each passage, there were questions about the main ideas, details, vocabulary, and making inferences. Those were so hard! I had to read the passages like three or four times.Next up was the listening section. This part was a little easier for me because I just had to listen篇5My 2016 Science and English Test AdventureHi friends! Today I want to tell you all about the big important test I took last year called the Professional English Test for Science and Engineering. It was a level A test, which means it was really hard! But I studied super duper hard and I think I did a pretty good job. Let me walk you through some of the questions I had to answer.Reading ComprehensionThe first part was all about reading. They gave me a long science-y passage and asked me bunches of questions about what I read. One question was like this:Passage: ...The hydraulic system transfers force from one point to another via an incompressible fluid...Question: Which of the following is true about the fluid in a hydraulic system?A) It cannot be compressedB) It is a gasC) It transfers energy through motionD) It is made of solidsWell I knew the answer had to be A because the passage said the fluid cannot be compressed, which means it's incompressible! Wasn't that a tricky one?Another question asked me to identify the main idea of the whole passage. That was pretty hard because the passage was super long and had all these big words I didn't know. But I read it very carefully and picked the answer that seemed to sum up what the main point was.WritingAfter the reading part, I had to do some writing. They asked me to pick one of two topics and write a short essay responding to the prompt. One of the prompts was:"Many scientific advancements over the past century have dramatically improved our quality of life. However, some have also caused negative impacts on the environment and human health. Describe one positive and one negative impact of a major scientific advancement and discuss whether you believe its benefits outweigh its costs."Woah, that's a really big question for a little kid like me! But I tried my best. I wrote about how the invention of plastic has helped us have cheap packaging and containers for food and toys. But I also said plastic pollution is really bad for the environment and animals like sea turtles.At the end, I said I think the benefits probably still outweigh the costs because plastic makes so many useful things affordable for everyone. But we need to work really hard on reducing the plastic waste too. I don't know if my essay was perfect, but I felt okay about my answer!ListeningAnother section tested my listening skills. They played an audio recording all about a science topic and asked me comprehension questions. One question went something like this:Recording: "...The xylem tissue transports water and nutrients upwards from the roots, while the phloem distributes food and sugars produced by photosynthesis down to the roots and rest of the plant..."Question: According to the recording, what role does the phloem tissue play in plant biology?A) It carries water upwardsB) It transports photosynthesis productsC) It absorbs nutrients from the soilD) It produces oxygenI chose B because the recording clearly said the phloem distributes the sugars made by photosynthesis throughout the plant. I was pretty confident I got that one correct!SpeakingProbably the hardest part was the speaking section. I had to look at a picture and describe what I saw using scientific vocabulary. Then I had to answer some questions the test grader asked me based on the picture.The picture showed some kids doing an experiment with a glass of water, food coloring, and a celery stalk. The questions were things like "What do you think is the purpose of this experiment?" and "What process is being demonstrated here?"I tried to explain that the colored water was traveling up through the celery stalk because of capillary action and the vascular tissue in the plant stem. I had just learned about that inscience class, so I worked really hard to remember all the right terms!The grader also asked me to pretend I was giving instructions to someone on how to actually do this celery experiment. I walked through adding the food coloring to the water, trimming the celery bottom, placing it in the cup, and waiting to observe how the colored water moves up the stem. Phew, that part was tricky!Overall ThoughtsWell, that's a taste of what the big level A science and English test was like for me! There were writing sections, reading sections, listening comprehension, speaking prompts - it covered all the English skills!Some parts were pretty hard and had questions that made me really think. But other parts let me show off what I already knew about science topics we had covered in school. I spent a lot of time preparing by studying science vocabulary, reading science articles, and practicing my English skills.In the end, I felt like I gave it my best effort. The test was definitely challenging, but also kind of fun to take on such a big challenge. If you're going to take the Professional English Testtoo, just make sure you study really hard beforehand. And don't be nervous - just do your best!Okay friends, that's my full report on my big science and English testing adventure. Let me know if you have any other questions! Time for me to go learn about another cool science topic...篇6My Big Sister's Hard TestMy big sister Anna is really smart. She's in university studying to be an engineer. This year she had to take a super hard test called the 2016 Professional Title English Test for Science and Engineering. It's a big important test she needs to pass to get a special title and job one day. I watched her study really hard for weeks!The test had lots of different sections - reading, writing, listening, translation, and more. Anna showed me some of the questions after and they looked so tricky! I'll share some with you:Reading ComprehensionThere were some long readings about science and technology topics. One was about 3D printing. The questions asked stuff like:What are the main advantages of 3D printing?A) Cheaper production costsB) Faster manufacturing timeC) More design flexibilityD) All of the aboveThe answer is D) All of the above. 3D printing lets you make lots of different shapes quickly and for less money than traditional manufacturing. Pretty cool!Another passage was about self-driving cars. It asked:Which of the following is NOT a key sensor used inself-driving cars?A) RadarB) CamerasC) LidarD) SpeedometerI didn't know this one, but Anna said the answer is D) Speedometer. The other choices are all sensors that help the car "see" its surroundings.WritingFor the writing section, Anna had to write a long essay about some scientific topic. One prompt asked her to discuss the pros and cons of nuclear power and give her opinion. She had to organize her ideas, provide examples, and use good grammar and vocabulary. Writing a whole essay in another language sounds super hard!ListeningThe listening part had lectures and conversations about science and engineering topics. Then there were questions testing if you understood the main ideas and details.One conversation was between two students talking about their engineering lab assignment. It asked:What was a main challenge the students faced with their project?A) Managing their timeB) Gathering dataC) Communicating with teammatesD) Identifying the right materialsAnna said the right answer was C) Communicating with teammates. The students said it was hard to collaborate smoothly.TranslationOh boy, this section was crazy! Anna had to translate sentences from English to Chinese and vice versa. The sentences used really technical scientific vocabulary.Like this one from English to Chinese:"The reactor coolant pumps circulate pressurized water through the nuclear reactor core."And this one from Chinese to English:"透射电子显微镜使用加速的电子射线来形成高分辨率图像。

But what is music, and how does it work its magic? Science does not yet have all the answers.What are two things that make humans different from animals? One is language, and theother is music. It is true that some animals can sing (and many birds sing better than a lot of people). However, the songs of animals, such as birds and whales, are very limited. It is also true that humans, not animals, have developed musical instruments.Music is strange stuff. It is clearly different from language. However, people can use music to communicate things — especially their emotions. When music is combined with speech in a song, it is a very powerful form of communication. But, biologically speaking, what is music?If music is truly different from speech, then we should process music and language in different parts of the brain. The scientific evidence suggests that this is true.Sometimes people who suffer brain damage lose their ability to process language. However, they don’t automatically lose their musical abilities. For example, Vissarion Shebalin, a Russian composer, had a stroke in 1953. It injured the left side of his brain. He could no longer speak or understand speech. He could, however, still compose music until his death ten years later. On the other hand, sometimes strokes cause people to lose their musical ability, but they can still speak and understand speech. This shows that the brain processes music and language separately.By studying the physical effects of music on the body, scientists have also learned a lot about how music influences the emotions. But why does music have such a strong effect on us? That is a harder question to answer. Geoffrey Miller, a researcher at University College, London, thinks that music and love have a strong connection. Music requires special talent, practice, and physical ability. That’s why it may be a way of showing your fitness to be someone’s mate. For example, singing in tune or playing a musical instrument requires fine muscular control. You also need a good memory to remember the notes. And playing or singing those notes correctly suggests that your hearing is in excellent condition. Finally, when a man sings to the woman he loves (or vice versa), it may be a way of showing off.However, Miller’s theory still doesn’t explain why certain combinations of sounds influence our emotions so deeply. For scientists, this is clearly an area that needs further research.16. Humans, but not animals, can sing.A. RightB. WrongC. Not mentioned17. People can use music to communicate their emotions.A.

People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night’s sleep than 8-hour sleepers.3 These findings, which Dr. Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, demonstrate that people who want to get a good night’s rest may not need to set aside4 more than 8 hours a night. He added that “it might be a good idea” for people who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed, but cautioned that more research is needed to confirm this.4 Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep — for instance, one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.5 For the current report, Kripke reviewed the responses of 1,004 adults to sleep questionnaires, in which participants indicated how much they slept during the week and whether they experienced any sleep problems. Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night, arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep, and having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning.6 Kripke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours. In an interview, Kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed. As evidence, he added that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed. “It stands to reasons6 that if a person spends too long a time in bed, then they’ll spend a higher percentage of time awake,” he said.23.

Ford has now announced it will do the same.Three years ago, the company introduced the Think City two-seater car and a golf cart called the THINK or Think Neighhor. It hoped to sell 5,000 cars each year and 10,000 carts. But a lack of demand means only about 1,000 of the cars have been produced, and less than 1,700 carts have been sold so far in 2002.“The bottom line is we don’t believe that this is the future of environment transport for the mass market,” Tim Holmes of Ford Europe said on Friday. “We feel we have given electric our best shot.” The Think City has a range of only about 53 miles and up to a six-hour battery recharge time. General Motors’ EVI electric vehicle also had a limited range, of about 100 miles.The very expensive batteries also mean electric cars cost much more than petrol-powered alternatives. An electric Toyota RAV4 EV vehicle costs over $42,000 in the US, compared with just $17,000 for the petrol version. Toyota and Nissan are now the only major auto manufacturers to produce electric vehicles.“There is a feeling that battery electric has been given its chance. Ford now has to move on with its hybrid program, and that is what we will be judging them on,” Roger Higman, a senior transport campaigner at UK Friends of the Earth, told the Environment News Service.Hybrid cars introduced by Toyota and Honda in the past few years have sold well. Hybrid engines offer greater mileage than petrol-only engines, and the batteries recharge themselves. Ford says it thinks such vehicles will help it meet planned new guidelines on vehicle emissions in the US.However t it is not yet clear exactly what those guidelines will permit. In June, General Motors and Daimler Chrysler won a court injunction, delaying by two years Californian legislation requiring car-makers to offer 100,000 zero-emission and other low-emission vehicles in the state by 2003. Car manufacturers hope the legislation will be rewritten to allow for more low-emission, rather than zero-emission, vehicles.31. What have the Ford motor company, General Motor’s and Honda done concerning electric cars?A. They have started to produce electric cars.B. They have done extensive research on electric cars.C. They have given up producing electric cars.D. They have produced thousands of electric cars.32. According to Tim Holmes of Ford Europe, battery-powered cars ________A. will be the main transportation vehicles in the future.B. will not be the main transportation vehicles in the future.C. will be good to the environment in the future.D. will replace petrol-powered vehicles in the future.33.

It took Cope 30 years to develop the software. Now most people can’t tell the difference between music by the famous German composer J. S. Bach (1685-1750) and the Bach-like compositions from Cope’s computer.It all started in 1980 in the United States, when Cope was trying to write an opera. He was having trouble thinking of new melodies, so he wrote a computer program to create the melodies. At first this music was not easy to listen to. What did Cope do? He began to rethink how human beings compose music. He realized that composers, brains work like big databases. First, they take in all the music that they have ever heard. Then they take out the music that they dislike. Finally, they make new music from what is left. According to Cope, only the great composers are able to create the database accurately, remember it, and form new musical patterns from it.Cope built a huge database of existing music. He began with hundreds of works by Bach. The software analyzed the data:it broke it down into smaller pieces and looked for patterns. It then combined the pieces into new patterns. Before long, the program could compose short Bach-like works. They weren’t good, but it was a start.Cope knew he had more work to do-he had a whole opera to write. He continued to improve the software. Soon it could analyze more complex music. He also added many other composers, including his own work, to the database.A few years later, Cope’s computer program, called “Emmy”, was ready to help him with his opera. The process required a lot of collaboration between the composer and Emmy. Cope listened to the computer’s musical ideas and used the ones that he liked. With Emmy, the opera took only two weeks to finish. It was called Cradle Falling, and it was a great success! Cope received some of the best reviews of his career, but no one knew exactly how he had composed the work.Since that first opera, Emmy has written thousands of compositions. Cope still gives Emmy feedback on what he likes and doesn’t like of her music, but she is doing most of the hard work ofcomposing these days!36. The music composed by David cope is about ______.A. Classical musicB. pop musicC. dramaD. country music37.

But ecologists can’t be everywhere so they’re turning to non-scientists, sometimes called citizen scientists, for help.Climate scientists are not present everywhere. Because there are so many places in the world and not enough scientists to observe all of them, they’re asking for your help in observing signs of climate change across the world. The citizen scientist movement encourages ordinary people to observe a very specific research interest — birds, trees, flowers budding, etc. — and send their observations to a giant database to be observed by professional scientists. This helps a small number of scientists track a large amount of data that they would never be able to gather on their own. Much like citizen journalists helping large publications cover a hyper-local beat, citizen scientists are ready for the conditions where they live. All that’s needed to become one is a few minutes each day or each week to gather data and send it in.A group of scientists and educators launched an organization last year called the National Phenology Network. “Phenology” is what scientists call the study of the timing of events in nature.One of the group’s first efforts relies on scientists and non-scientists alike to collect data about plant flowering and leafing every year. The program, called Project BudBurst, collects life cycle data on a variety of common plants from across the United States. People participating in the project — which is open to everyone — record their observations on the Project BudBurst website. “People don’t have to be plant experts they just have to look around and see what’s in their neighborhood,” says Jennifer Schwartz, an education consultant with the project. “As we collect this data, we’ll be able to make an estimate of how plants and communities of plants and animals will respond as the climate changes.”41. Ecologists turn to non-scientist citizens for help because they need them ______A. to provide their personal life cycles.B. to observe the life cycle of plants.C. to collect data of the life cycle of living things.D. to teach children knowledge about climate change.42. What are citizen scientists asked to do?A. To develop a specific research interest and become professional scientists.B. To send their research observations to a professional database.C. To increase their knowledge about climate change.D. To keep a record of their research observations.43. In “All that’s needed to become one… (paragraph2)”, what does the word “one” stands for?A. a citizen journalist.B. a citizen scientist.C. a scientist.D. a citizen.44. What is NOT true of Project BudBurst?A. Only experts can participate in it.B. Everybody can participate in it.C. It collects life cycle data on a variety of common plants.D. It has its own website.45. What is the final purpose of Project BudBurst?A. To study when plants will have their first buds.B. To find out the types of plants in the neighborhood.C. To collect life cycle data on a variety of common plants from across the United States.D. To investigate how plants and animals will respond as the climate changes.五、补全短文Mobile PhonesMobile phones should carry a label if they proved to be a dangerous source of radiation, according to Robert Bell, a scientist. And no more mobile phone transmitter towers should be built until the long-term health effects of the electromagnetic radiation they emit are scientifically evaluated, he said. “Nobody’s going to drop dead overnight but we should be asking for more scientific information,” Robert Bell said at a conference on the health effects of low-level radiation.46A. report widely circulated among the public says that up to now scientists do not really know enough to guarantee there are no ill-effets on humans from electromagnetic radiation. Accordingto Robert Bell, there are 3.3 million mobile phones in Australia alone and they are increasing by 2,000 a day. 47As well, there are 2,000 transmitter towers around Austrnlia, many in high density residential areas. 48 The electromagnetic radiation emitted from these towers may have already produced some harmful effects on the health of the residents nearby.Robert Bell suggests that until more research is completed the Government should ban construction of phone towers from within a 500 metre radius of school grounds, child care centres, hospitals, sports playing fields and residential areas with a high percentage of children. 49_______ He adds that there is also evidence that if cancer sufferers are subjected to electromagnetic waves the growth rate of the disease accelerates.50 According to Robert Bell, it is reasonable for the major telephone companies to fund it. Besides, he also urges the Government to set up a wide-ranging inquiry into possible health effects.A.He says there is emerging evidence that children absorb low-level radiation at a rate more than three times that of adults.B. By the year 20004 it is estimated that Australia will have 8 million mobile phones: nearly one for every two people.C. “If mobile phones are found to be dangerous, they should carry a warning label until proper shields can be devised,” he said.D. Then who finances the research?E. For example, Telstra, Optus and Vodaphone build their towers where it is geographically suitable to them and disregard the need of the community.F. The conclusion is that mobile phones brings more harm than benefit.六、完形填空Mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, may be bad for your arteries. 51 according to a study in Psychological Science, they’re good for your heart and 52 . The study focuses on “comfort food” and how it makes people feel."For me 53 ,food has always played a big role in my family,” says Jordan Troisi, a graduate student at the University of Buffalo, and lead author on the study. The study came out of the research program of his co—author Shira Gabriel. It has 54 non-human things that may affect human emotions. Some people reduce loneliness by bonding with their 55 TV show, building virtual relationships with a pop song singer or looking at pictures of loved ones. Troisi and Gabriel wondered if comfort food could have the same effect 56 making people think of their nearest and dearest. In one experiment, in order to make 57 feel lonely, the researchers had them write for six minutes about a fight with someone close to them. Others were given an emotionally neutral writing assignment. Then, some people in each 58 wrote about the experience of eating a comfort food and others wrote about eating a new food.59 ,the researchers had participants 60 questions about their levels of loneliness.Writing about a fight with a close person made people feel lonely. But people who were generally 61 in their relationships would feel less lonely by writing about a comfort food. "We have found that comfort foods are consistently associated with those close to us. "says Troisi. "Thinking about or consuming these foods later then serves as a reminder of those close others. "In 62 essays on comfort food, many people wrote about the 63 of eating foodwith family and friends. In another experiment, 64 chicken soup in the lab made people think more about relationships, but only if they considered chicken soup to be a comfort food. This was a question they had been asked long before the experiment, along with many other questions, so they wouldn’t remember it. Throughout everyone’s daily lives they experience stress, often associated with our 65 with others," Troisi says. "Comfort food Can be an easy remedy for loneliness.51.
