Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected by human senses. It can’t be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can’t detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can’t sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.
At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright(彻底地) by killing masses of cells in important organs. But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if there are killed outright. Your b ody will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in an unusual way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.
This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the knowledge of the person at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated(放射治疗)and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be b orn weak or easy to get serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.
Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.
1.According to the passage, the danger of nuclear power lies in____.
A.nuclear mystery
B.radiation detection
C.radiation level
D.nuclear radiation
2.Radiation can lead to serious results even at the lowest levels______.
A.when it kills few cells
B.if it damages few cells, and if they reproduce themselves
C.though the damaged cells can repair themselves
D.unless the damaged cells can reproduce them selves
3.Radiation can hurt us in the way that it can______.
A.kill large numbers of cells to cause death immediately
B.damage cells which may grow into cancer years later
C.affect the healthy growth of our younger generation
D.lead to all of the above results
4.Which of the following can be mostly possibly inferred from the passage?
A.The importance of protection from radiation cannot be overemphasized(过分强调).
B.The mystery about radiation has been solved.
C.Cancer can’t be caused by radiation
D.Radiation can hurt those who do not know about its danger.
Vienna—In spite of Iraq’s decision to stop oil deliveries, the 11-nation Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) will not increase production to make up the shortfall, ministers decided Tuesday in Vienna.
The 11 oil ministers decided to meet again on July 3 to discuss the effects of the Iraq temporary stop. The organization’s president,Charkid Khelil of Algeria, said after the meeting that stocks were high and prices were stable, so quota(配额) increases were not necessary.
The E.U. Commission has expressed concern about Iraq’s output stop. A speaker said OPEC had to take all possible measures to keep or lower the oil price.
Saudi Arabia’s Oil Minister Ali Al-Nuaimi had earlier said there would not be any shortfall of oil in the market. The organization had already taken steps to fill the gap, he said. OPEC Secretary General Ali Rodriguez added that the period of the Iraq stop to export was not known, so other exporters were not going to lift quotas yet. If the market was destabilized(动摇), a suitable response could be made.
Iraq on Monday stop shipments of crude oil to protest against the U.N. Security Council’s decision to extend the oil-for-food programme by only a month, instead of the normal six-month renewal(延期).
Just before the Vienna meeting, oil prices had gone up, with a barrel of OPEC crude selling for 27.05 dollars, up from 26.81 dollars last Friday. North sea oil was at 29.26 dollars Monday evening.
OPEC wanted the oil price to stay within a margin of 22 to 28 doll ars and achieved that with cuts in January and March that redu ced 2.5 million barrels per day off quotas.
5.Iraq made the decision to stop oil deliveries because____ .
A.oil price is too low in the international market
B.the U.N. Security Council has decided to shorten the time for the oil-for-food programme
C.many oil wells were destroyed during the war in the late 1980s
D.it couldn’t get enough money to develop its economy
6.The attitude the E.U. Commission took towards Iraq’s output stop is____.
A.active
B.concerned
C.mistaken
D.surprising
7.“The organization” in Paragraph 2 refers to____.
A.OPEC
B.the E.U. Commission
C.APEC
D.WTO
8.The 11 oil ministers decided to meet on July 3 so that____ .
A.they can persuade Iraq to continue oil production
B.they can have a discussion about the effects of Iraq’s temporary oil stop
C.they can have a talk with the U.N. Security Council
D.they can make up their minds to increase oil productions

A very rapid increase in the number of ships sailing between American and European ports began almost immediately after the end of the War of 1812 in order to meet the new need for
the regular rapid transportation of mail, light cargoes(货物), and passengers. It was the increase in emigration(移民) to America that for the first time made the carrying of passengers across the Atlantic more profitable than the transportation of heavy cargoes. A new type of sailing ship, the pack et(邮船), appeared to meet this new demand, and the demand very soon resulted in strong competition among s everal packet lines.
The earliest of these was the Black Ball Line set up in New York in 1816, only a year after the end of the war. The service of this famous line started with four of the new fast packets, each of 400 to 500 tons: the Pacific, the Amity, the James Cooper, and the William Thompson. During the first twenty years of service, the average time from New York to Liverpool was 23 days and the average trip back to New York took 40 days.
By the middle of the century packets had increased in size to between 900 and 1, 000 tons and their speed had increased. The Red Jackel once sailed from New York to Liverpool in 13 days, 11.5 hours. The Mary Whiteridge took 4.5 hours off this record on a run from Baltimore to Liverpool. Such speeds were far greater than the average of from 19 to 21 days to Liverpool and from 30 to 35 homeward to New York, but the packets had still set a new standard for transoceanic travel. No wonder that steamships, the first of which tried to compete with the packets in 1838, only began to replace them in the 1850s.
1.The fastest transatlantic voyage by a packet mentioned by the author was from______.
A.Liverpool to New York
B.New York to Liverpool
C.Baltimore to Liverpool
D.Liverpool to Baltimore
2.According to the author, in which decade of the 19th century did a steamship first attempt to compete with the transatlantic packets?
A.The 1820s.
B.The 1850s.
C.The 1840s.
D.The 1830s.
3.Which of the following was the most important in the development of the fast packets?
A.The increase in the number of people who wanted to go to America.
B.The increase in the number of people who wanted to go to Europe after the War of 1812.
C.The increased demand for the transportation of all kinds of cargoes.
D.The increased volume of mail.
4.The time of the fastest transatlantic crossing mentioned by the author was 13 days and____.
A.11.5 hours
B.7 hours
C.7.5 hours
D.4.5 hours

语篇导读：本文是记叙文，讲述了我和妻子在深夜救火的经过。
1.C毕竟客人走了之后“我们”可以放松一下，因此选C，“谢天谢地，客人总算走了”。
2.Bleave表示“使……处于某种状态”，与下文构成完整结构，leave sth.as it is表示“听之任之”。
3.C开窗当然是为了让新鲜空气进来，让食物的气味排放出去。
4.Afall asleep为固定短语，表示“睡着”。
5.C与下一空相搭配，表示“我睡了顶多不过半个钟头”，用否定句式，是have hardly/not done sth．when句式，而must 不用于否定句中表示判断推测。
6.C与上一空相联系，本句用了“hardly/not/just…when”句式表示“刚一/才……就”。until 表示某一延续动作的截止时间，即动作延续的时间，不可用于此处。
7.B早上两点才睡觉，睡了才半个小时，此时仍然睡眼朦胧。
8.Athrough指“从中间穿过”，透过满屋烟雾，“我”看见是怎么回事。
9.C上文已提到“我”睡觉前将窗户打开了，因此A、B不对，remove表示“挪开，拿走，去掉”，此处应该是“我本该把窗户关上的”，下文（第16空所在句）提到窗外的风助火势。
10.B根据上下文可知用but表转折，“should have done sth., but…”表示“本该……，可是……”。
11.B从上下文看，fail这个动作已经发生，因此用when不用if，用报纸灭火没有用时，“我”就用其他办法。
12.D“提一桶水”用carry，bring表示“带来”，take表示“拿走”，find表示“找到”，均不符合上下文的含义，此处指提水救火，用carry表示拿着笨重物体。
13.C家里失火了要救火，当然迫在眉睫，用hurriedly才妥当。
14.A先打电话给消防队再来帮“我”。
15.D将水从厨房运到房里灭火，与第12空一样，用carry表示“运载”。
16.C与下一空前面的介词from（被省略）构成搭配，表示“不让火势蔓延”，中间夹了过去分词短语作定语。
17.D不让火势蔓延，与上文prevent构成搭配prevent （from）doing，与下文“…it under control”相呼应。
18.B“我们不能扑灭大火”，put out the fire表示“灭火”。
19.Abring/keep sth．under control表示“控制”。
20.C有了如此结果，应该算作“幸运地”了。

Some young engineers from the United States have brought the Internet to several areas of rural Kenya.
Their idea was to connect the communities to the Web by satellite. But there was a problem. The areas are not even connected to Kenya’s electric power su pply. The answer: solar panels. Energy from the sun powers the satellite dishes(蝶形卫星天线) and computers that link the areas with the world outside.
Kelly Moran, Joan Ervin and Tricia Donajkowski spent ten days in Kenya in November. The women recently earned master’s degrees in space systems engineering from the University of Michigan.
Another engineer, Drew Heckathorn, did not go to Africa but worked on parts of the project.
Kelly Moran says there was excitement when the team would arrive to connect communities to the Internet. People would sometimes run alongside the car carrying the engineers to welcome them. And local residents would offer to help the team build the Internet stations.
People now have access to educational, medical and all kinds of other information. Farmers, for example, can easily find weather, crop and price information online.
The project began back at the college of engineering in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 2007. That was when twentyfive students in a class taught by Thomas Zurbuchen first talked about the id ea.
The goal was to test whether Internet stations could be set up, how much they would cost, and how long they could operate. But the engineers also had to consider others things—like social needs. Students from the public health and business schools offered advice.
The young engineers also had to design the equipment to survive the heat in Africa. Professor Zurbuchen praises his former students for “making something work in a different climate far away from home.”
Google paid for the final design of the equipment. The company is also supporting the costs of the satellite bandwidth needed for the connections. Google has invested in a new company that wants to put up a system of satellites over Africa. The availability of more satellites would reduce the costs.
Just five percent of Africans have Internet connections. The International Telecommunication Union says one-third of Kenyans have mobile phones. But mobile phones may or may not work well with the Intern et. 来源学科网
1.What is the main idea of the whole passage?
A.Solar energy has been used to operate the Internet.
B.Engineers from America to help the communities in Kenya.
C.The Internet stations to be set up in some areas of rural Kenya.
D.The Internet to play an important part in people’s life in Kenya.
2.Why did Google give the project financial support?
A.It intends to help to rid Kenya’s residents of poverty.
B.The use of satellites would benefit a lot its business in Kenya.
C.The project is one of its investments in Africa.
D.It wants to test whether its equipment is the best in the world.

A.what Kelly and her partners will do will make a difference to the residents in Kenya
B.it is difficult for Kelly and her partners to build the Internet stations in Kenya
C.the cli mate in Kenya is so bad that Kelly and her partners will have difficulty in building the Internet stations
D.To help Kenya build the Internet stations, Kelly and her partners have to leave their homes
4.From the passage we can learn that_______.
A.the idea of building the Internet stations in Kenya was put forward by Professor Zurbuchen
B.the Internet stations are powered by solar energy

Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world? It’s an increasingly urgent question, given the recent high profile（引人注目的）mining accidents in Sago, W.Va, and Huntington, Utah. A small group of engineers and robotics experts envision(展望) a day in the not-too-distant future when ro bots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work.
One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Carnegie—Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. It was called Groundhog and it looked like a golf cart. It used lasers to “see” in dark tunnels and map abandoned mines—some of the most dangerous work in the business.
The latest prototype is called Cave Crawler. It’s a bit smaller than Groundhog, and even more advanced. It can take photos and video and has sensors mounted（装置）that can detect the presence of dangerous gases. Incredibly, the robot has a real sense of logic. If it comes across an obstacle it gets momentarily confused, it has to think through the process and where to go next, and sometimes it throws a fit just like a real person.
The biggest obstacle,though,is cost. The original research project was federally funded, but that money has dried up, and it’s not clear where future funding will come from. Partly for that reason, and partly because of advances in safety, mining is not nearly as dangerous as it was in the past. Since 1990, deaths have declined by 67 percent, and injuries by 51 percent, according to the National Mining Association.
Some experts predict that ro bots in mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive industry. The robots do the most repetitive and dangerous jobs, but don’t eliminate the need for human workers.
5.The phrase “throw a fit” in 3rd paragraph probably means______.
A.get angry
B.get shocked
C.become excited
D.become cheerful
6.The latest robot is more advanced than Groundhog mainly because______.
A.It can map abandoned mines
B.It’s a bit smaller than Groundhog
C.It can see in the dark tunnel
D.The robot has a real sense of logic
7.We can infer from the last paragraph that_______.
A.the mine robots will have a very bright future
B.robots in mines will serve much in the automotive industry
C.there will be no need for human workers in mines
D.robots in mines have a long way to go
8.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A.High-profile mining accidents in America
B.Could robots replace humans in mines
C.The development of robot
D.Cave Crawler, the latest robot

Many books have been writing about “the art of giving”. But what about the art of receiving? 1.(receive) a gift sometimes can be difficult, especially 2. someone buys you a gift you don’t want!“I remember when it was my 3.(twelve) birthday, my parents bought me a purple purse,”laughed Angella. “It 4.（real）made me feel embarrassed, because to be honest, I thought the purse was ugly! Still, I pretended that I liked it because I knew it would make my parents happy.”Allan agrees. “That sounds like my grandparents! A few years ago, my grandparents gave me an orange sweater f or my birthday. I 5.(wear) it every time I visited them, but when I left their house, I took it 6.! Of course, this made me feel guilty. It was a very nice thought, but my grandparents and I have different tastes! I think 7. hard to buy clothes or other personal things for people.”To make things 8.(easy), some people would rather just give money. In some countries, however, receiving money can make people uncomfortable. “Whe n someone gives me money, it just makes me think they’re being lazy,”says John Wilson. “In England, we have a saying: It’s the thought 9. counts. When someone gives me money, I feel they didn’t think at all. I prefer to receive a gift that has some thought behind it. I don’t mind it 10.it’s something I don’t need. When someone has thought about a gift for me, it always makes me happy.”

Once,when 1 was a teen ager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally, there was only one family among us and the ticket counter.
This family made deep impression on me. There were eight children, both probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes was not expensive, and they were clean. The children were well behaved, all of us standing in line, two by two behind their parents, held hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants and another performances where that they would see that night. Everyone could sense they have never been to the circus before.

Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fix ed about attitudes to dirt.
In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long
time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.
Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been rega rded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea; clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?
Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家)，encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.
1.The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because____.
A.they lived healthily in a dirty environment
B.they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in
C.they believed disease could be spread in public baths
D.they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease
2.Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?
A.Afraid.
B.Curious.
C.Approving.
D.Uninterested.
3.How does the passage mainly develop?
A.By providing examples.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By following the order of time.
D.By following the order of importance.
4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A.To stress the role of dirt.
B.To introduce the history of dirt.
C.To call attention to the danger of dirt.
D.To present the change of views on dirt.
My grandmother was from a town in Michigan. I enjoyed staying with my grandparents when I was a young child. 5_______ People knew everyone, their kids, their pets and their ancestors. The relationship with them co ntinued to grow as I grew and got older.
6________She would make little sandwiches and we’d have tea parties. She’d plant flowers and carefully tend them. I remember the small thimble she would use while doing her needlew ork. Placing her thimble on her finger she’d remark: “I wouldn’t want to sew without one.”
A few years ago when my grandmother passed away, I made farewell to a loving grandmother. 7_______ We had just had tea together a couple of months earlier, on her 91st birthday. I missed her very much, but I noticed it particularly on my birthday, as there was no card from my grandmother. She’d never forgotten my birthday!
On one particular birthday when I was feeling a little low, something happened to make me feel like she was sharing that special day with me. 8 __________They are what she had made, and suddenly I f elt something inside one pillow. It was small and hard. I moved the object to a seam that I carefully opened, and to my delight out came a tiny silver thimble!
9______ Not realizing it had fallen off her finger, she sewed it in that little pillow that I just “happened”to place on my bedspread that day. I carefully laid the thimble alongside the others I’ve collected over the years, where I could continue to see the gift God chose to reveal to me.
What a precious memory of a very special lady who somehow, I knew, was delighted to sew her thimble inside my pillow!

Let’s face it.No one drinks diet soda for the taste.People drink diet soda in the hope that it will help them lose weight or at least keep them from gaining it.Yet it seems to have exactly the opposite effect, according to a new study.
Researchers from the University of Texas said those who drank two or more diet sodas a day had waist size increases that were six times greater than those who didn’t drink diet soda.“What we saw was that the more diet sodas a person drank, the more weight they were likely to g ain,” said Sharon Fowler.
The study was based on data from 474 participants in a large, ongoing research project, where the participants were followed for nearly 10 years.
While the findings are surprising, they also offer some explanations.
Nutrition expert, Melanie Rogers, who works with overweight patients in New York, has found that when patients are switched from regular to diet soda, they don’t lose weight at all.“We weren’t seeing weight loss necessarily, and that was confusing to us,”said Rogers.
So why would diet soda cause weight gain？No one knows for sure yet, but it could be that peo ple think they can eat more if they drink diet soda, and so over compensate for the missing calories.
A related study found some sweeteners(甜味剂) raised blood sugar levels in some mice.“Data from this and other potential studies suggest that the promotion of diet sodas and
artificia l sweeteners may be risky,”said Helen P.Hazuda, professor at the University of Texas’s school of medicine.“They may be free of calories, but n ot of consequences.”
1.People drink diet soda to .
A.enjoy its taste
B.stay in fashion
C.achieve weight loss
D.gain more energ y
2.The new study suggests that drinking diet soda .
A.causes people to become heavier
B.helps people to be healthier
C.makes people much thinner
D.offers people more calories
3.We can l earn from the passage that .
A.regular soda makes people lose m ore weight
B.diet soda drinkers tend to eat more food
C.diet soda does help reduce calories
D.most blood diseases come from diet soda
4.The underlined word “They” in the last paragraph probably refers to .
A.sweeteners
B.diet sodas and artificial sweeteners
C.sodas
D.diet soda drinkers and sweetener takers
Thedeadliest Ebola outbreak in history that has so far killed almost 1,000 people in Guinea, Libe ria, Sierra Leone and Nigeria in West Africa has caused fear around the world.
The outbreak is unprecedented（空前的）both in infection numbers and in geographic scope. Officials from the World Health Organization （WHO）said earlier this month the outbreak “is moving faster than our efforts to control it”, reported CNN. So far, the battle against the virus doesn't appear to be slowing down.
The Ebola virus is terrifying no matter where it strikes:It’s a disease with no cure that cau ses headaches and fever, severe diarrhea（腹泻）, vomiting and bleeding and has been known to kill up to 90 percent of its victims.
It is understandable for people to be panicked, but those living outside Africa shouldn't be particularly concerned about contracting the virus, says a Washington Post article.
This is because transmission of Ebola requires direct contact with an i nfected perso n’s blood, vomit or other bodily fluids during the period that he or she is contagious（接触传染的）. It is something that is extremely unlikely for anyone but healthcare workers. The virus is not spread by coughing or sneezing.
Media outlets in the US and the UK are using terrifying headlines, wrongly claiming that people infected with the virus have traveled to their countries.
James Ball at The Guardian says the Ebola outbreak in Africa is tragic, but it is important to keep a sense of proportion. Other infectious diseases, including common influenza, are far, far
