第二部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Even plants can run a fever, especially when they're under attack by insects or disease. But unlike human, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away—straight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared(红外线)scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide(杀虫剂)spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don't have pest problems.
Even better, Paley's Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a colour-coded map showing where plants were running “fevers”. Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.
The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the te chnology works. “This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States, ” says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.
36．Plants will send out an increased amount of heat when they are________.
A．facing an infrared scanner
B．sprayed with pesticides
C．in poor physical condition
D．exposed to excessive sun rays
37．In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to________.
A．estimate the damage to the crops
B．draw a colour-coded map
C．measure the size of the affected area
D．locate the problem area
38．Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by________.
A．resorting to spot-spraying
B．transforming poisoned rain
C．consulting infrared scanning experts
D．detecting crop problems at an early stage
39．The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties—________.
A．its high cost
B．the lack of official support
C．the lack of financial support
D．its failure to help increase production
40．Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of________.
A．full support from agricultural experts
B．growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on crops
C．the forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture
D．the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce
B
Nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are considered one of the most important marine weapons in the 20th century. So far, only two countries in the world, the USA and France, have ever produced them. But these fearful fighting machines are about to enter Asia.
The US Navy said last month that one of its nine nuclear-powered aircraft carriers will be sent to Japan to replace the diesel(柴油)-powered carrier Kitty Hawk in 2008. In an agreement on October 30, the two countries also planned to level up their military (军事的) cooperation and the USA called for Japan to take a larger role in alliance military moves.
It will be the first time that a nuclear-powered carrier is based in Japan. Bombed by US forces in World War Ⅱ at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan is the only world country to have been attacked by a nuclear weapon. Therefore, the citizens are highly sensitive to where nuclear-powered weapons are based.
“A radiation leak at Yokosuka would kill 100,000 people as far away as Tokyo, and could cause billions of dollars in damage，” said Masahiko Goto, leader of a protest group in Yokosuka. His group has collected more than 300,000 signatures of people across Japan opposed to the nuclear carrier.
The 44-year-old Kitty Hawk, the US Navy's oldest active ship, has been based in Yokosuka since 1998. It had returned to the US to be decommissioned in 2008. The new carrier, yet to be unveiled,_will travel faster, be capable of supporting longer operations and carry with it the Navy's most modern technology.
Experts pointed that this change is not only to strengthen the US-Japan military alliance but also to keep the military power of China and North Korea within limits. However, even Japanese experts don't believe that the two countries are threats to the region.
“There is no need for Japan to have a nuclear carrier as defense，” said Tetsuo Maeda, an international relations professor at Tokyo International University. He said that the change of ship indicates an increased military capability in the region, much more than what is needed.
41．With such a formidable weapon to enter its country, Japanese citizens ________.
A．are aware of its benefits to the country
B．are anxious about its potential danger
C．are curious about the advanced technology
D．are against where the carrier will be based
42．The replacement of the aircraft carrier is intended to________.
A．set up a kind of base in Japan
B．strengthen the US-Japan military alliance
C．show Japan's greater military capability
D．get rid of the dated marine weapon
43.From the story, we learn that________.
A．no other countries except the USA and France possess aircraft carriers
B．Japan has long planned to increase its military capability with new weapons
C．Japan will be the first country in Asia to have a nuclear aircraft carrier
D．Japan will be the third country to produce a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier
44．The underlined word “unveiled” in the fifth paragraph probably means________.
A．perfected B．discussed about
C．produced D．brought to view
45．By his remark in the last paragraph, the professor means that________.
A．he is quite confident of their military defense
B．he is completely opposed to a new nuclear carrier
C．what is needed is far more than a nuclear carrier
D．it is unnecessary to guard against the two countries
C
China_is_going_green. In order to reduce air pollution and oil-shortages, automobile manufacturers have announced their plans to develop hybrid vehicles (混合燃料汽车) for the Chinese market. Toyota's hybrid car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week. Let's have a look at the new car.
Any vehicle is a hybrid when it combines two or more sources of power. Hybrid cars run off a rechargeable battery and gasoline. Hybrid cars have special engines, which are smaller than
traditional gasoline engines. They run at 99 percent of their power when the car is cruising (匀速行驶). A specially designed battery motor provides extra power for running up hills or when extra acceleration is needed.
Step into a Prius, and turn on the engine. The first thing you notice is how much quieter it is than a traditional car. At this point, the car's gasoline engine is dormant (休眠). The electric motor will provide power until the car reaches about 24 km/h. If you stay at a low speed, you are effectively driving an electric car, with no gasoline being used, and no waste gas gives off.
The onboard(车载的) computer makes the decision about when to use a gas engine, when to go electric, and when to use a combination of the two. If you go over 24 km/h, when you step on the gas pedal (油门), you are actually telling the computer how fast you want to go.
The electronic motor recharges automatically using a set of batteries. When driving at high speed, the gasoline engine not only powers the car, but also charges the batteries. Any time you use the brake, the electric motor in the wheels will work like a generator and produce electricity to recharge the batteries. As a consequence, the car's batteries will last for around 200,000 miles.
46．The author writes this passage mainly to________.
A．teach people how to drive a hybrid car
B．introduce a new kind of “green” car
C．show how to save their gasoline when driving a car
D．announce plans to develop hybrid vehicles for China
47．The first sentence probably refers to ________.
A．there will be more and more green land in China
B．China is still young and lacking experience
C．China's new cars are combinations of different green models
D．China has started producing environmentally friendly cars
48．Which of the followings is NOT true?
A．The hybrid cars reduce air pollution and oil-shortages.
B．The car's gasoline engine doesn't work until it reaches about 24 km/h.
C．This kind of car is completely controlled by an onboard computer.
D．A specially designed battery motor provides extra power when needed.
49．What is the most important feature of hybrid cars?
A．They are powered by both a rechargeable battery and gasoline.
B．They are much quieter than traditional cars.
C．They only use 99 percent of their power to run up hills.
D．They have smaller engines than traditional gasoline ones.
50．What can we conclude from the story?
A．The batteries can be recharged at any time you want.
B．Using the brake suggests that the gasoline engine should work.
C．The batteries will last for 200, 000 miles without being recharged.
D．The gasoline engine charges the batteries as well as powers the car.
D
As civilization proceeds in the direction of technology, it passes the point of supplying all the basic essentials of life—food, shelter, clothes and warmth. Then we are faced with a choice between using technology to provide and fulfill needs which have now been regarded as unnecessary or, on the other hand, using technology to reduce the number of hours of work which a man must do in order to earn a given standard of living. In other words, we either raise our standard of living above that necessary for comfort and happiness or we leave it at this level and work shorter hours.
I shall take it for granted that mankind has, by that time, chosen the latter alternative. Men will be working shorter and shorter hours in their paid employment. It follows that the housewife will also expect to be able to have more leisure in her life without lowering her standard of living. It also follows that human domestic servants will have completely ceased to exist. Yet the great majority of the housewives will wish to be relieved completely from the routine operations of the home such as scrubbing the floors or the bath of the cooker, or washing the clothes or washing up,
or dusting or sweeping, or making beds.
By far the most logical step to relieve the housewife of routine is to provide a robot which can be trained to the requirements of a particular home and can be programmed to carry out half a dozen or more standard operations, when switched by the housewife.
51.As civilization develops in the direction of technology，________.
A．the basic essentials of life must be supplied
B．it is important to supply the basic essentials of life
C．it is no longer so important as it was in the past to supply all the basic essentials of life D．it is not necessary to supply the basic essentials of life
52．According to the author, we are faced with________.
A．the choice of providing and fulfilling our needs
B．the choice of using technology
C．the choice of earning a standard of living
D．a choice between using technology to provide and fulfill needs to reduce the number of working hours
53．What alternative will mankind have chosen in future?
A．To leave our standard of living at this level and work shorter hours.
B．To raise our standard of living.
C．To fulfill needs which have been regarded as unnecessary.
D．To lower our standard of living and work shorter hours.
54．Now most housewives wish to________.
A．stop doing their housework
B．do more housework to improve their life
C．get rid of the heavy burden of their housework
D．do only simple and light housework
55．It can be inferred that robots will be invented ________________________________________________________________________.
A．to take the place of housewives
B．to help manage a family
C．to do the routine of housework instead of human
D．to provide the daily necessities for man

I was a very determined 16-year-old. One day I woke up and realized I wasn’t famous. I decided to do something about it. I would get my name published in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Having made this decision, I needed to think of something I could do well. First, I thought I could tie my arm around my back and become “the person who swam the f urthest with only one arm”. But as soon as I got in the water I sank.
I knew I liked cookies, so I stuffed (塞进) 16 in my mouth and tried to be “the person who put the most cookies in his mouth”. But when cookie 17 went in, I got sick.
I realized that I wasn’t really good at anything. Then it hit me! I ran to the bathroom and filled up the tub with water. I had decided to be “the person who took the world’s longest bath”. It was perfect because all I had to do was sit there.
I entered the tub at 5 o’clock on a Friday evening. The first three hours went great. I drank soda and ate potato chips. Being in the water so long wrinkled my hands and feet and made me look like I was 80. But I was determined.
At 8：45 my brother shouted through the bathroom door that the record for the longest bath was more than a month and that there was also a record for most rattlesnakes with a human in a bathtub.
Feeling rejected,_I got out. Maybe I’ll never be in the Guinness book of World Records.
But that’s OK. I am still special. Besides, I have more important things to do than sit in a bathtub for a month!
56．What is the main idea of the passage? (No more than 5 words)
________________________________________________________________________ 57．Why did the author want to get his name published in the Guinness Book of World Records? (No more than 8 words)
________________________________________________________________________ 58．How many attempts did he make to get himself listed in the Guinness Book of World Records? (1 word)
________________________________________________________________________ 59．What made him realize that he could not possibly break the existing records？(No more than 5 words)
________________________________________________________________________ 60．What does the underlined word “rejected” in the last paragraph mean？(1 word)

第二部分
A
36．C细节理解题。由第二段“…an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops.The data were transformed into a colour-coded map showing where plants were running ‘fevers’．”可知，植物在发“高烧”，也就是说，植物在“身体状况”不佳时才会散发热。
37．D推理判断题。由第二段末尾“…showing where plants were running ‘fevers’．Farmers could then spot-spray，…”可知，用红外线扫描的目的是确定有问题的区域，以使农民有针对性地喷洒杀虫剂。
38．A细节理解题。由第二段最后一句“Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would(采取点喷，农民们可以节省平时用量的50%至70%的杀虫剂)”可知。

One possible v ersion：
Dear_Mike,_
I'm_glad_to_know_that_you_are_coming_to_China_with_your_parents_and_spend_the_Mi d-Autumn_Day_here.
The Mid-Autumn Day is a traditional festival with a long history which is celebrated only by Chinese people. It falls on August 15th of the Chinese lunar year, when people of a family get together and enjoy the dinner together. After that they eat mooncakes, which stands for the spirit of the festival—unity.Often, if the weather permits, they will go out of the house to enjoy the bright moonlight, talking about something pleasant. It is one of the most important festivals for Chinese people.
I wish you a pleasant journey and I'm sure you will like our traditional Mid-Autumn Day.
Yours,
