He was the grandson of slaves. He began working on the family farm when he was four. When he was twelve, he worked 25 a nearby farm to help feed his parents and four younger brothers and sisters. For the next eighty-five years, he held a number of different jobs, most of them involving hard labor.George Dawson lived a happy life 26 ______ conditions were difficult. When he was ten years old, he saw a young African-American man 27 (murder). He would have told people about it, but he said his 28 (big) problem was his inability to read and write.George Dawson kept it a secret that he could not read. But he said he always dreamed that he would learn. Although he had no education, he taught his children 29 (work) hard in school.George Dawson’s life changed in 1996. A man came to his house in Texas, and told him that adult education classes were being taught at a nearby school. So the man who 30 (sign) his name with an “X” for almost one-hundred years went to school.People wondered 31 Mr. Dawson did not go to school earlier. He said he never had the time because of his farm work. And he never knew about adult education programs.George Dawson did all he 32 to learn to read, which influenced students of all ages. He spoke to young people about the importance of learning to read and write.(B)Americans and Arabs are different 33 it comes to their space habits. Arabs would rather have close contact.

In talking with Americans who had lived overseas, he found that many of 35 had been highly uncomfortable 36 ______ culture differences. Such discomfort is usually referred to as culture shock.The problem is that, relatively speaking, Americans live in 37 noncontact culture. Partly, this is a product of our puritan heritage (清教徒文化遗产). Dr. Hall points out that we spend years 38 (teach) our children not to crowd in and lean on us. And in situations 39 we ourselves are forced to stand close to another person on crowded subways, for example, we turn our eyes away, and if actual body contact 40 (involve), tense the muscles on the contact side. Most of us feel very strongly that this is the only proper way to behave.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.With only about 1,000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save the endangered species. That’s a move similar to what a Texas A&M University researchers have 41 for the past five years in a project called “Noah’s Ark.”Noah’s Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos (胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become 42 , Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A&M’s College of V eterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to 43 the species in the future.It is estimated that as many as 2,000 species of mammals, birds, reptiles will face extinction in over 100 years. The panda, 44 only to China, is in danger of extinction in the next 25 years.This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to 45 the embryo into a host animal.The entire 46 could take from three to five years to complete.“The nuclear transfer of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem,”Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundredtransfers to result in one pregnanc y (怀孕). It takes a long time and it’s difficult, but this could be47 science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is48 the effort,”adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the project at Texas A&M, the first-ever 49 at cloning a dog.“They are trying to do something that’s never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah’s Ark. We’re both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly 50 their effort and there’s a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. It’s a research that is very much needed.”III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.It can be hard to decide which food to buy in an American grocery store these days. The information on many products makes 51 claims.The label “organic (有机的)”52 that the United States Department of Agriculture recognized the product was grown under special conditions. The department says foods that meet requirements of it National Organic Programme can use an official label. It shows the words “USDA Organic”inside a(n) 53 . USDA organic food does not contain genes that have been 54 changed. The food is grown without chemical treatment against insects or diseases. It is grown without chemical fertilizers. Before a product can be 55 “organic,” a(n) 56 visits the farm where the food is produced to make sure the farm meets USDA standards. Organic meat, poultry, eggs and dairy products come from animals that are given no antibiotics (抗生素), must be fed organic food and have 57 to the outdoors.No conclusive 58 shows that organic food is more nutritious than traditionally grown food. And the USDA—even if it proves organic food—doesn’t claim that these products are safer or more nutritious. Organic foods meet the same quality and safety standards as traditional foods. The difference 59 how the food is produced, processed and handled. Some people buy organic food for 60 reasons. Organic food is produced by farmers who 61 the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance quality for future generations. The prices between most organic food and traditional food products 62 . Higher prices are due to more expensive farming practices and tighter government regulations.The new USDA’s national organic programme for labeling are aimed at enabling consumers to make a(n) 63 choice among the foods they purchase and also include the safeguard of fines for 64 . People who sell or label a product “organic”when they know it does not meet USDA standards can be 65 up to $11,000 for each violation.51. A. unbelievable B. familiar C. different D. flexible52.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Indian’s snake charmers are to be retrained as wildlife teachers under a plan to prevent their unique skills and knowledge from being lost. The charmers, who make snakes dance to the sound of flutes (笛子), used to be a traditional feature of Indian life, performing in towns and villages, until they were banned in 1972 to control the trade in snake skins.The government is now considering a plan to train the saperas, as they are known, to visit schools and zoos to tell children about forests and wildlife. There is also a proposal to set up a “dial a snake charmer” service to help householders to deal with unwelcome intruders.“For generations they have been a feature of Indian life but now they can’t earn a living for fear of arrest,” said Behar Dutt, a conservationist behind the plans, “if a policeman doesn’t catch them, animal rights activists report them.”Many snake charmers have continued to work clandestinely since the ban, despite the threat of up to three years in jail. But their trademark cloth-covered baskets, hung from a bamboo pole carried across their shoulders, make them an easy target for police.The fate of Shisha Nath, 56, from Badarpur, a village just outside of Delhi, is typical of practitioners (从业者) of the dying art. “I used to earn enough to support my family and send my children to school,” he said. “Now it’s hard to earn even £1 a day. My children want to be snakecharmers. It’s our identity. We love the work. But it’s become impossible.”Next month Dutt’s project to train 30 snake charmers will begin at a snake park in Pune, western India, where experts will enrich their home-grown skills with some formal knowledge.More than the law, though, it is the dishonest attitude of their fellow countrymen that angers many snake charmers.“We’re disturbed all the time but when people want a snake removed from the house, they rush to us,”said Prakash Nath, who was ordered recently to the home of Sonia Gandhi, the Congress party leader.66. Snake charmers will be retrained as wildlife teachers mainly because ______.A. schools need large numbers of such teachersB. most of them cannot support their familiesC. their performances on the street are bannedD. the government plans to save the dying art67. The purpose of the proposed “dial a snake charmer” telephone service is ______.A. to give performance of snake dancingB. to teach householders how to catch and kill snakesC. to offer cleaning service to wealthy householdersD. to help remove unwanted snakes from the houses68. The word “clandestinely” in paragraph 4 can be best replaced by the word “_____”.A. secretlyB. publiclyC. subconsciouslyD. diligently69. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Snake charmers can easily be recognized by the police on the street.B. Children of snake charmers would not like to continue their fathers’ job.C. Snake charmers are quite angry with the attitude of their fellow countrymen.D. The animal rights activists take a negative attitude towards snake charmers.(B)We have designed all our bank cards to make your life easier.How to use your NatWest ServicecardAs a Switch card, it lets you pay for all sorts of goods and services, wherever you see the Switch logo.

You’re nervous. Who are these people? How do you start a conversation? Fortunately, you’ve got a thing that sends out energy at tiny chips in everyone’s name tag. The chips send back names, jobs, hobbies, and the time available for meeting-whatever. Making new friends becomes simple.This hasn’t quite happened in real life. But the world is already experiencing a revolution using RFID technology.An RFID tag with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product, under your pet’s skin, even under your own skin. Passive RFID tags have no energy source-batteries because they do not need it. The energy comes from the reader, a scanning device, that sends out energy (for example, radio waves) that starts up the tag immediately.Such a tag carries information specific to that object, and the data can be updated. Already, RFID technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport. Doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate and obtain a patient’s medical records. At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip gets you into the VIP (very important person) section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm.Take a step back: 10 or 12 years ago, you would have heard about the coming age of computing. One example always seemed to surface: Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk. The concept was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make ordinary life simpler.RFID tags are a small part of this phenomenon. “The world is going to be a loosely coupled set of individual small devices, connected wirelessly,” predicts Dr. J. Reich. Human right supporters are nervous about the possibilities of such technology. It goes too far tracking school kids through RFID tags, they say. We imagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it. And how many beers. Accompanied by how many biscuits.When Marconi invented radio, he thought it would be used for ship-to-shore communication, not for pop music. Who knows how RFID and related technologies will be used in the future. Here’s a wild guess: Not for buying milk.74. The article is intended to .A. warn people of the possible risks in adopting RFID technologyB. explain the benefits brought about by RFID technologyC. convince people of the uses of RFID technologyD. predict the applications of RFID technology75. We know from the passage that with the help of RFID tags, people .A. will have no trouble getting data about othersB. will have more energy for conversationC. will have more time to make friendsD. won’t feel shy at parties any longer76. Why are some people worried about RFID technology?A. Because children will be tracked by strangers.B. Because market competition will become more fierce.C. Because their private lives will be greatly affected.D. Because customers will be forced to buy more products.77. The last paragraph implies that RFID technology .A. will not be used for such matters as buying milkB. will be widely used, including for buying milkC. will be limited to communication usesD. will probably be used for pop musicSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Too much eating. Too many unhealthy foods. Too many advertisements for food. Too little activity. Different explanations are offered for America’s weight problem — a problem increasingly shared by other countries. Almost one-fifth of American children and teenagers are overweight.Schools have been urged to increase physical education, an important tool for public health. And many have. Yet now comes a study showing an increase in the number of injuries in “phys ed”class. Injuries increased one hundred fifty percent between nineteen ninety-seven and two thousand seven.The study involved injuries treated in hospital emergency departments. Only two percent were serious.The researchers did not try to identify the causes of the increase, but they have some theories. Lara McKenzie from Ohio State University was the lead researcher. She says one possibility is a decrease in the number of school nurses during the period they studied. For example, a two thousand four study showed that the number of school nurses nationally failed to meet federal guidelines. Schools without a nurse on duty may be more likely to send an injured child to a hospital.Another possible reason for more injuries is a change in the traditional idea of physical education. This “New P.E.”expands the kinds of sports that are taught. But activities that some schools offer now, like rock climbing and skateboarding, can also expand the risks, says Cheryl Richardson. She is with the National Association for Sport and Physical Education.Also, she says not all states require P.E. teachers to be specially trained. Untrained teachers could be less likely to recognize unsafe conditions.Cheryl Richardson also points to one of the study’s findings — that injuries are often the result of contact with a person or a structure. This tells her that the teachers were not giving each student enough space to move around safely.Six activities produced seventy percent of all injuries: running, basketball, football, volleyball, soccer and gymnastics.The researchers say larger class sizes are another possible reason for the increase in injuries. Larger classes can mean less supervision. The National Association for Sport and Physical Education says twenty to thirty students in a P.E. class should be the limit.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)78. Many schools deal with the problem that more children are overweight by .79. What’s the result of expanding the kinds of sports taught in school?80. P.E. teachers without special training are more likely to .81. After reading the passage, could you give at least two suggestions to an American school on howto reduce injuries in “phys ed” classes?第 II 卷 (共47分)I.

Grammar and VocabularySection A (16’)[来源:]Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.AWhat is the nature of the scientific attitude, the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics, biology, chemistry, geology, engineering, medicine or any other science?We all know that science plays an important role in the societies in which we live. Many people believe, however, that our progress depends on different aspects of science. The first of these is the application of the machines, products and systems of applied knowledge (25)________ scientists and technologists develop. Through technology, science improves the structure of society and helps man to gain increasing control over his environment. (26)________ second aspect is the application by all members of society of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work.What are these special methods of thinking and acting? First of all, (27)________ seems that a successful scientist is full of curiosity—he wants to find out how and (28)________ the universe works. He usually directs his attention towards problems which he notices have no satisfactory explanation, and his curiosity makes him look for underlying relationships (29)________ if the data available seem to be unconnected. Moreover, he thinks he can improve the (30)________ (exist) conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this (31)________ (involve).He is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective and applies logical thought to the observations he makes. He utilizes the facts he observes to the fullest extent. For example, trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly (32)________ the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum.BCrying is hardly an activity (33)________ (encourage) by society. Tears, be they of sorrow, anger, on joy, typically make Americans feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. The shedder of tears is likely to apologize, even when a devastating tragedy was the provocation. The observer of tears is likely to do everything possible to put an end to the emotional outpouring. But (34)________ (judge) from recent studies of crying behavior, links between illness and crying and the chemical composition of tears, both those responses to tears are often inappropriate and may even be counterproductive.Humans are the only animals definitely known (35)________ (shed) emotional tears.(36)________ evolution has given rise to few, if any, purposeless physiological response, it is logical to assume (37)________ crying has one or more functions that enhance survival.Although some observers have suggested that crying is a way to bring about assistance from others, the shedding of tears is hardly necessary to get help. V ocal cries would have been quiteenough, (38)________ (likely) than tears to gain attention, So, it appears, there (39)________ be something special about tears themselves.Indeed, the new studies suggest that emotional tears may play a direct role in alleviating stress, University of Minnesota researchers who are studying the chemical composition of tears have recently isolated two important chemicals from emotional tears. Both chemicals (40)________ (find) only in tears that are shed in response to e motion. Tears shed because of exposure to cut onion would contain no such substance.Section B (10’)Directions:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

Reading ComprehensionSection A (15’)Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Clothes play a critical part in the conclusions we reach by providing clues to who people are, who they are not, and who they would like to be. They tell us a good deal about the wearer’s51 , personality and social outlook.52 clothes are such an important source of social information, we can use them to manipulate (操纵) people’s 53 of us. Our appearance assumes particular significance in the initial phases of interaction that is likely to occur. An elderly middle-class man or woman may be 54 by a young adult who is dressed in a popular manner, 55 the person’s education, background, or interests.People tend to agree on what certain types of clothes mean. Young women can easily agree on the 56 of girls who wear certain outfits, including the kind of boyfriends they likely have had and whether they smoke or drink. Newscasters, or the announcers who read the news on TV, are considered to be more 57 , honest, and competent when they are dressed in a formal way.And college students who view themselves as taking an active role in their interpersonal relationships say they are concerned about the clothes they 58 wear to play these roles successfully. Moreover, many of us can relate instances 59 the clothing we wore changed the way we felt about ourselves and how we acted. Perhaps you have used clothing to gain 60 when you looked forward to a stressful situation, such as a job interview, or a court appearance.In the workplace, men have long had well-defined examples or role models for achieving success. It has been 61 for women. A good many women in the business world are 62 about the appropriate mixt ure of “manhood” and “feminine” (女性特征) property they should convey by their professional clothing. The variety of clothing 63 to women has also been greater than that available for men. Male administrators tend to judge women more 64 for managerial positions when the women display less “feminine” dressing—shorter hair, moderate use of make-up, and plain tailored clothing. As one male administrator confessed, “An attractive woman is definitely going to get a longer 65 , but she won’t get a job.”51. A. purpose B. taste C. background D. view52. A. While B. Since C.

Each passage is followed by several questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The rich have traditionally passed their wealth on to their children. But an increasing number of multimillionaires are choosing not to. The reason? They want their children to earn their salt - and not to turn into spoiled successors.Nicola Horlick - or “supermum”, a famous British millionaire, owing to the fact that she has high-flying jobs and five kids - has spent her career making a reported £25m. She now seems determined to throw off large parts of it. She already gives away about 25% of her income each year; she has just revealed, in a report on the state of charity in the city, that she will not be leaving most of the remainder to her children. “I think it is wrong to give too much inherited wealth to children,” Horlick told the report's authors. “I will not be leaving all my wealth to my children because that would just ruin their lives.”She is by no means the first to go public with this belief. Bill Gates has ploughed anestimated $30bn into the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This was supplemented, in 2006, by another £24bn or so from his friend Warren Buffett.Buffett has always been colorfully, quotably clear on where he stands. His daughter often tells a story of finding herself without change for a car parking ticket - her father lent her $20, then promptly made her write him a cheque. “To suggest that the children of the wealthy should be just as wealthy," he has said, "is like saying the members of America's 2004 Olympics team should be made up only of the children of the 1980 Olympics team.”Anita Roddick, the late founder of the Body Shop, told her kids that they would not inherit one penny. She said, “The money that we make from the company goes into the Body Shop Foundation, which isn’t one of those awful tax shelters, like some in America.

Satellite images of cloud patterns can be analyzed to estimate peak wind speeds, but the estimates are often way off the mark. Specialized aircraft can fly into a storm to measure the winds directly, but the flights are costly.Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology come up with a third way: listening to a storm underwater.In a paper to be published in Geophysical Research Letters, Nicholas C. Makris and a former graduate student, Joshua D. Wilson, report a strong connection between the intensity of sound recorded by an undersea microphone in the mid-Atlantic and the wind power of a hurricane that passed over it. They say that such microphones, known as hydrophones, could be a safe and relatively inexpensive means of estimating hurricane force.Dr. Makris and Dr. Wilson, who are now with Applied Physical Sciences Corporation, worked out the theory of underwater acoustic (声音的) monitoring of storms in a 2005 paper. “To be very frank with you, it’s a mystery what makes storms noisy underwater.” Dr. Makris said. The most popular idea currently is that it has something to do with oscillating air bubbles (气泡振动).The researchers then went looking for experimental data to back their theory, and found it from a hydrophone placed at a depth of 2,500 feet by the National Atmospheric and OceanicAdministration. It happened that Hurricane Gert passed over the area in September 1999, and a hurricane-hunter plane directly measured the wind speed at the same time. The hydrophone data showed sound intensity rising when the storm’s outside wind “wall” passed over, and again when the in side wall, the most destructive part of the storm near the eye, passed over. “We got a beautiful connection,” Dr. Makris said, “between the hydrophone data and the actual wind speeds as measured by the aircraft.”Dr. Makris is conducting additional experiments, working with the Mexican Navy off the west coast of Mexico. The eventual goal, he said, would be permanent hydrophones in known hurricane zones or temporary ones that could be easily laid by plane or ship in the path of a coming storm.74. Compared with the traditional methods, the new way of measuring is_____.A. more expensiveB. more directC. less dangerousD. less accurate75. Which statement is WRONG according to the article?A. The scientists gained support from different fields.B. Dr. Makris and Dr. Wilson have figured out what makes storms noisy underwater.C. The scientists have found the relationship between the changes of sound intensity and theforce of the hurricane.D. There are several ways for people to forecast the force of the coming hurricane.76. Why is Dr. Makris now making other experiments with the help of the Mexican Navy off thewest coast of Mexico?[来源:]A. To place permanent hydrophones in some zones.B. To collect more images of cloud patterns.C. To be secure in carrying out their experiments.D. To get more information from the hurricane-hunter planes.77. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Ways to Stop the Destructive Force of a HurricaneB. Connection between the Intensity of Sound and the Wind Power of a HurricaneC. Hydrophones, Safe but Expensive Means of Estimating Hurricane ForceD. Measuring a Hurricane by Sound UnderwaterSection DDirections:Read the following passage. Write your answer to the questions and complete the unfinished statements according to the information given in the passage you just read.How good are you at saying "no"? For many, it's surprisingly difficult. This is especially true of editors, who by nature tend to be eager and engaged participants in everything they do. Consider these situations:It's late in the day. That front-page package you've been working on is nearly complete; one last edit and it's finished. Enter the executive editor, who makes a suggestion requiring a more-than-modest rearrangement of the design and the addition of an information box. You want to scream: "No! It's done!" What do you do?The first rule of saying no to the boss is don't say no. She probably has something in mind when she makes suggestions, and it's up to you to find out what. The second rule is don't raise the stakes by challenging her authority. That issue is already decided. The third rule is to be ready to cite options and consequences. The boss's suggestions might be appropriate, but there are always consequences. She might not know about the pages backing up that need attention, or about thedesigner who had to go home sick. Tell her she can have what she wants, but explain the consequences. Understand what she's trying to accomplish and propose a Plan B that will make it happen without destroying what you've done so far.Here's another case. Your least-favorite reporter suggests a dumb story idea. This one should be easy, but it's not. If you say no, even politely, you risk inhibiting further ideas, not just from that reporter, but from others who heard that you turned down the idea. This is common in newsrooms that lack a systematic way to filter story suggestions.Two steps are necessary. First, you need a system for how stories are proposed and reviewed. Reporters can tolerate rejection of their ideas if they believe they were given a fair hearing. Your reaction by instinct and dismissive rejection, even of a worthless idea, might not qualify as systematic or fair.Second, the people you work with need to negotiate a "What if ...?" agreement covering "What if my idea is turned down?" How are people expected to react? Is there an appeal process? Can they refine the idea and resubmit it? By anticipating "What if...?" situations before they happen, you can reach understanding that will help ease you out of confrontations.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12 WORDS.) 78. What does the writer suggest you should do in the first rule instead of directly saying no toyour boss?79. The author's second warning is that we should avoid________________________.80. How should you respond to your boss's suggestion?81. To ensure fairness to reporters, it is important to____________________________.第Ⅱ卷（共47分）I.

The pan da, 44 on ly to China, is in dan gerof ext in cti on in the n ext 25 years.This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells froma dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to 45 the embryo into a host ani mal.The en tire 46 could take from three to five years to complete.“ The nu clear tran sfer of one species to ano ther is not easy, and the lack ofavailable panda eggs could be a major problem, ” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnanc y (怀孕).I t takes a long t i me and i t ' s difficult, but t hi s could b e 47 scie nee if it works.

Each passage is Followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Indian 's snake charmers are to be retrained as wildlif e teachers under a plan to prevent their unique skills and knowledge from being lost. The charmers, who make snakes dance to the sound of flutes （笛子）, used to be a traditional feature of Indian life, performing in towns and villages, untilthey were banned in 1972 to control the trade in snake skins.The government is now considering a plan to train the saperas , as they are known, to visit schools and zoos to tell children about forests and wildlife. There is also a proposal to set up a “dial a snake charmer” service to help householders to deal with unwelcome intruders.“For generations they have been a feature of Indian life but now they can 'tearn a living for fear of arrest, ” said Behar Dutt, a conservationist behind the plans, “if a policeman doesn't catch them, animal rights activists report them. ”Many snake charmers have continued to work clandestinely since the ban, despite the threat of up to three years in jail. But their trademark cloth-covered baskets, hung from a bamboo pole carried across their shoulders, make them an easy target for police.The fate of Shisha Nath, 56, from Badarpur, a village just outside of Delhi, is typical of practitioners （从业者） of the dying art. “I used to earn enough tosupport my family and send my children to school, ” he said. “Now it 's hard to earn even £ 1 a day. My children want to be snake charmers. It ' s our identity. Welove the work. But it 's become impossible. ”Next month Dutt 's project to train 30 snake charmers will begin at a snake park in Pune, western India, where experts will enrich their home-grown skills with some formal knowledge.More than the law, though, it is the dishonest attitude of their fellow countrymen that angers many snake charmers“We' re disturbed all the time but when people want a snake removed from the house, they rush to us, ” said Prakash Nath, who was ordered recently to the home of Sonia Gandhi, the Congress party leader.66. Snake charmers will be retrained as wildlife teachers mainly because ____ .A. schools need large numbers of such teachersB. most of them cannot support their familiesC. their performances on the street are bannedD. the government plans to save the dying art67. The purpose of the proposed “ dial a sn ake charmer ” teleph one service is ____________ .A. to give performance of snake dancingB. to teach householders how to catch and kill snakesC. to offer cleaning service to wealthy householdersD. to help remove unwanted snakes from the houses68. The word “ clandestinely ” in paragraph 4 can be best replaced by the worda ”A. secretlyB. publiclyC. subconsciouslyD. diligently69. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Snake charmers can easily be recognized by the police on the street.B. Children of snake charmers would not like to continue their fathers ' job.C. Snake charmers are quite angry with the attitude of their fellow countrymen.D. The animal rights activists take a negative attitude towards snake charmers.(B)We have designed all our bank cards to make your life easier.How to use your NatWest ServicecardAs a Switch card, it lets you pay for all sorts of goods and services, wherever you see the Switch logo.

You ' re nervous. Who are these people? Howdo you start a conversation? Fortunately, you' ve got a thing that sends out energy at tiny ch ips in everyone ' s name tag. The chips send back name s, jobs, hobbies, and the time available for meeting-whatever. Making new friends becomes simple.This hasn' t quite happened in real life. But the world is already experiencing a revolution using RFID technology.An RFID tag with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product, under your pet' s skin, even under your own skin. Passive RFID tags have no energy source-batteries because they do not need it. The energy comes from the reader, a scanning device, that sends out energy (for example, radio waves) that starts up the tag immediately.Such a tag carries information specific to that object, and the data can be updated. Already, RFID technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on theroad and it might appear in your passport. Doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate and obtain a patient ' s medical records. At a nightclubin Paris or in New York the same chip gets you into the VIP (very important person) section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm.Take a step back: 10 or 12 years ago, you would have heard about the coming age of computing. One example always seemed to surface: Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk. The concept was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make ordinary life simpler.RFID tags are a small part of this phenomenon. “The world is going to be a loosely coupled set of individual small devices, connected wirelessly, ” pr edicts Dr. J.Reich. Humanright supporters are nervous about the possibilities of such technology. It goes too far tracking school kids through RFID tags, they say. Weimagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you dra nk it. And how many beers. Accompa nied by how many biscuits.When Marconi inven ted radio, he thought it would be used for ship-to-shorecom muni catio n, not for pop music. Whok nows how RFID and related tech no logies willbe used in the future. Here ' s a wild guess: Not for buying milk.74. The article is inten ded to .A. warn people of the possible risks in adopt ing RFID tech no logyB. expla in the ben efits brought about by RFID tech no logyC. convince people of the uses of RFID tech no logyD. predict the applicati ons of RFID tech no logy75.

Why are some people worried about RFID tech no logy?A. Because childre n will be tracked by stra ngers.B. Because market competiti on will become more fierce.C. Because their private lives will be greatly affected.D. Because customers will be forced to buy more products.77. The last paragraph implies that RFID tech no logy . _________A. will not be used for such matters as buying milkB. will be widely used, in cludi ng for buying milkC. will be limited to com muni cati on usesD. will probably be used for pop musicSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully.

Decades ago, Kodak foresaw that digital photography would unavoidably 53 film — and in fact, Kodak invented the first digital camera in 1975 —but in a 54 decision, the company chose to 55 its new discovery and went on focusing on its traditional film business.It wasn’t that Kodak was 56 to the future, but rather that it failed to carry out a strategyto face it, said Rebecca Henderson, a professor at Harvard Business School. By the time the company realized its 57 , it was too late.Kodak is an example of a firm that was very much aware that they had to adapt, and spent a lot of money trying to do so, but 58 failed. Large companies have a difficult time 59 into new markets because they always attempt to put existing assets(资产) into the new businesses.Although Kodak predicted the 60 rise of digital photography, its corporate（企业的）culture was too 61 the successes of the past. Therefore, it is impossible for them to make the clean break, which is necessary to fully embrace the future. They were a company stuck in time. Their history was so important to them. Now their history has become a burden.Kodak’s downfall over t he last several decades was 62 . In 1976, its products 63 90% of the market for photographic film and 85% of the market for cameras. But the 1980s brought new 64 from Japanese film company Fuji Photo, which defeated Kodak by offering lower price s for film and photo supplies. Kodak’s 65 not to pursue the role of official film for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics was a major miscalculation. The golden chance went to Fuji instead, which exploited its sponsorship to win a permanent foothold in the marketplace.51. A. prepared B. preferred C. pioneered D. promised52.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Want a glimpse of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the various networks of people involved in patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient – no matter where he or she may be.Online doctors offering advice based on standardized symptoms are the most obvious examples. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis (telemedicine) will be based on real physiological data from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using an off-the-shelf(现成的) PDA (personal data assistance) such as a Palm Pilot plus a mobile phone, it is perfectly feasible to transmit a patient’s vital signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment in a first-aid kit(急救包), the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster response –especially after earthquakes. Overall, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and expertise.But there is one problem. Bandwidth (频带宽度) is the limiting factor for transmitting complex medical images around the world –CT scans being one of the biggest bandwidth consumers. Communications satellites may be able to cope with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes, wars or famines. But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and third-generation mobile phones for the future of distributed medical intelligence.Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications, the new technologies should usher in (迎来) an era when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, expert opinion and diagnosis are common.66. The basis of remote diagnosis will be ____________.A. personal data assistanceB. standardized symptoms of a patientC. real physiological data from a patientD. transmitted complex medical images67. The sentence ―the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing ofthe past‖ means ____________.A. patients used to cry and ask if there was a doctor in the houseB. now people probably will not ask if there is a doctor in the houseC. patients are now still asking if there is a doctor in the houseD. in the past people often cried and asked if there was a doctor in the house68. The word ―problem‖ in the fourth par agraph refers to the fact that ____________.A. CT scans are one of the biggest bandwidth consumersB. there are not enough mobile phones for distributing medical intelligenceC. communications satellites can only cope with the short-term needs during disastersD. bandwidth is not adequate to transmit complex medical images around the world69. A proper title for the passage may be ____________.A. The Online Doctor Is inB. Improvement in CommunicationC. How to Make Remote DiagnosisD.

How much luggage may the passenger take free of charge on this ticket?A. 30 kg.B. 37 kg.C. 60 kg.D. 67 kg.(C)Scientists have long believed one way to stop the Earth’s atmosphere from warming is by planting more trees. The idea is that more trees will take in or absorb some of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a gas released by cars, factories and other human activities. The gas traps heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, which warms the planet. However, two new studies have found that trees may not be as helpful in reducing carbon dioxide as thought.The first study was done at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Researchers pumpedextra carbon dioxide into a test area where pine trees were growing. The trees grew thirty-four percent faster during the first three years. However, in time, the trees slowed to about their normal growth rate. The scientists say this is because trees need other nutrients, such as nitrogen.In the second study, researchers from Duke and Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine examined the soil around trees. They discovered that as the leaves broke down into the soil, all the carbon was not trapped in the soil. Much of it was released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.The findings of the two studies were published last month in Nature magazine. They suggest there is limited value in planting trees to reduce the carbon dioxide pollution in the atmosphere.Forest planting has been a part of negotiations on a world agreement to reduce greenhouse gases that scientists believe cause global warming. The United States, Canada, Japan and some other industrial countries have supported the idea. But this new research suggests the idea is not as effective as environmental activists had thought. Scientist Ram Oren of Duke University led the study on tree growth. He says that earlier estimates on the ability of forests to absorb carbon dioxide were overly hopeful.Some scientists not involved in the studies say the research provides some of the first evidence on how trees react to carbon dioxide. Other scientists say the research disputes a belief among some coal and power companies. The companies say that more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will not create harmful global warming. Instead, they say it will increase forests and other plants.73. What is the purpose of this passage?A. Introduce some new ideas about the relationship between trees and carbon dioxide.B. Introduce recent condition of global industrial pollution.C. Call on people to plant more trees to reduce greenhouse gases.D. Point out that power companies should be responsible for the rising levels of carbon dioxide.74. Why did the researchers put trees in extra carbon dioxide in the first study?A. To learn whether trees can still absorb carbon dioxide under extreme conditions.B. To get more oxygen from these trees.C. To evaluate the maximum carbon dioxide that trees can absorb.D. To see the effect of carbon dioxide on the growth rate of these trees.75. What happened to the leaves falling from the trees in the second study?A. They broke down and the main parts turned into oxygen.B. They broke down and the carbon content had mainly turned into carbon dioxide.C. They broke down and the carbon content was mainly absorbed in the soil.D. They absorbed more carbon dioxide.76. Scientist Ram Oren thinks t hat common beliefs of the tree’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide are____________.A. appropriateB. pessimisticC. over-optimisticD. convincing77. The word ―dispute‖ (Line 2, Para.6) probably refers to ____________.A. questionB. supportC. maintainD. acceptSection C （8分）Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.An attorney is an agent authorized to act for a person or concern. An attorney at law, or lawyer, is an officer of a court of law who acts as an agent in legal proceedings. This means that lawyers must serve two masters. One master is the client. Lawyers use the law and the legal system to protect and serve the needs of clients. The other master is the law itself. Lawyers must uphold the law, which is based on the U.S. Constitution, written legislation, and past court decisions.Almost all aspiring lawyers attend a law school approved by the bar association of the state in which they want to practice. A bar association is a professional group for lawyers. The term bar is taken from the historic structure of a courtroom. A lawyer who has ―passed the bar‖ could step beyond the bar or railing that separated members of the public from those involved in proceedings. Each state offers its own bar examination. Some states recognize attorneys qualified elsewhere, but most states require attorneys to pass that state’s bar exam before they can practice there.The law is extremely complex and changes constantly as new legislation is issued and new interpretations win favorable rulings in the courts. Every aspect of life, from artistic production and sports to taxes, is a specialty area in law. Two specialties are corporate law and criminal law.A corporate attorney handles legal matters for businesses. Much of this work involves affairs such as employment contracts, arrangements for loans, rental agreements, and joints with other companies. Sometimes businesses must appear in court, in which case they need a corporate attorney who is also a litigator (律师诉讼人). Litigation is a conflict that is taken to court. A litigator files the lawsuit and helps the client resolve the conflict, either by negotiating a settlement or by presenting arguments in court.（Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.）78. The two masters lawyers must serve are ___________________________________________.79. What is the function of the bar or railing?___________________________________________________________________________.80.

She lived a simple life. She seldom travelled. She never married and she died from illness when she was only 41.However, people all over the world remember her. Why? It is because Jane Austen is the author of some of the best-loved novels in the English language. These novels include Emma, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Persuasion.Jane completed her last novel Persuasion in 1816, but it was not published until after her death. Persuasion is partly based on Jane’s naval brother.Anne, the daughter of Sir Walter Elliot, falls in love with Captain Wentworth, a person of a lower social position. But she breaks off the engagement when persuaded by her friend Lady Russell that such a match is unworthy. The breakup produces in Anne a deep and long-lasting regret. Eight years later, Wentworth returns from sea a rich and successful captain. He finds Anne’s family on the edge of financial ruin. Anne and the captain rediscover their love and get married.Jane Austen once compared her writing to painting on a little bit of ivory（象牙）, two inches square. Readers of Persuasion will see that neither her skill of delicate, ironic(讽刺的) observations on social custom, love, and marriage nor her ability to apply a sharp focus to English manners and morals has abandoned her in her final finished work.Persuasion has produced three film adaptations: a 1995 version starring Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds, a 2007 TV miniseries with Sally Hawkins and Rupert Penry-Jones, and a 1971 miniseries with Ann Firbank and Bryan Marshall.People who are interested in Jane Austen can still visit many of the places she visited and lived. These places include the village of Steventon, although her family house is now gone. Many of the places Jane visited in Bath are still there. You can visit Jane Austen’s home in Chawton, where she did her best writing, and Winchester, where she died.39．What is the theme of Persuasion?A．Never regret what you’ve chosen.B．True love lasts forever.C．Be matched for marriage.D．Love waits for no man.40．Which of the following CANNOT describe Jane’s writing style?A．Her application of symbolism.B．Her delicate observations.C．Her focus on manners and morals.D．Her use of irony.41．Which of the following about Jane Austen is TRUE?A．Her family house is now in the village of Steventon.B．Many of the places she visited in Bath are still available.C．The latest film adaptation of Persuasion was produced in 1995.D．Her last novel Persuasion is considered her most successful one.42．The article mainly talks about _______.A．Jane Austen’s unique writing styleB．the original residence of Jane AustenC．Jane Austen’s last novel: PersuasionD．the popularity of Jane Austen’s novels（2020·上海浦东新·统考三模）According to the ancient Greek mythology, King Midas might be one ofthe world’s earliest alchemist, who was granted by the god Dionysus themagic power to turn anything he touched into gold. Unfortunately, the king soon realized that this ability was more of a curse than of a gift as he had to suffer the loss of many of life’s real pleasures, including the taste of good food and the embrace of his beloved daughter.While the story of the greedy Midas is meant to warn against becoming a slave to one’s desires, it also reflects our human greed for gold. This extremely attractive metal has captivated humans over thousands of years, ever since the days of the ancient Egyptians, and has been the basis of currency for many civilizations over centuries.Today gold remains the foundation of the luxury jewellery industry and, in recent years, has become one of the most prominent materials in the production of our latest necessity --- modern electronics. Gold is used to make many of the devices we love, such as cellphones, tablets and laptops. This is due to its highly efficient electrical properties and its resistance to corrosion, which are unmatched by any other metal. But the manufacturing of just 40 mobile phones requires approximately one gram of gold, which corresponds to nearly a ton of mined ore. Given the persistent rise in electronics production, and the limited and decreasing supply of gold, how will we maintain the supply of this precious material for many years to come?One solution might be found in the recycling of electronic waste, a process often referred to as urban mining. Given that a metric tonne of recycled laptop circuit boards can have between 40 and 800 times more gold than found in a metric tonne of ore, it seems unreasonable to redeposit the precious metal into the earth via landfills. Despite this, and the fact that urban mining is growing more cost-effective by the day, only 20 per cent of all electronic waste is currently recycled. In 2017, the Global E-Waste Monitor projected that the amount of electronic waste generated by the end of 2021 would reach 52.2 million metric tonnes.It is estimated that the value of the gold in our garbage exceeds €10 billion($11.2 billion). On top of that, the many other precious metals in the garbage, such as silver, copper and platinum, add even more value to our waste. Therefore, given its economic and technological importance, it is time to consider whether other sources of gold, which are not yet decidedly possible to access, can also be exploited in the future.While King Midas might have appealed to the gods for an easy solution to acquire gold, modern alchemists use the latest technology to achieve ancient dreams. It is these qualities that might eventually lead to environmentally mindful and energy-efficient technologies for extracting gold from incredible places.43．The underlined word “captivated” in paragraph two can be best replaced by .A．cultivated B．jailed C．satisfied D．tempted44．Which of the following is NOT one of the many uses of gold in history and modern time?A．aiding the business of waste recycling industry.B．being used in manufacturing jewellery.C．constituting an essential part of electronic devices.D．forming the basis of currency.45．According to paragraph four, what is the purpose of “urban mining”？A．To save more laptop circuit from being wasted.B．To deposit more precious gold.C．To preserve gold for future use.D．To make a profit by recycling life garbage.46．The author uses the story of “King Midas” to .A．analyze the loss caused by electronic wasteB．illustrate the magic power of urban miningC．interest the readers with the rich history of ancient GreeceD．warn the world against becoming slaves to material gains五、六选四（2020·上海浦东新·统考三模）Directions: Choose from the sentences A-F to complete the passage.

Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.College admission season is upon us. With the ever-increasing competition among college applicants, writing an effective and sincere college recommendation letter is one way high school teachers can help students stand out among the competition. Here are a few things I have learned how to write a recommendation for my students.Try beginning your letter with something the person tasked with screening hundreds of recommendation letters will remember. I like to start with an amusing story that illustrates who the student is and how others perceive them. Make sure to use the student’s full name for the first reference and then just the first name after that. My favorite strategy is to end the paragraph with a single sentence that highlights the student’s strongest characteristics.In the body of the letter, focus on who the student is rather than what the student has done. What college reps want to know is how the student will fit into their environment. Give specific examples of how the student achieved--did they overcome obstacles or tackle any challenges to reach their goals? I usually write two short paragraphs for the body. Sometimes the first relates character to academics, and the next relates character to extracurricular activities. Other times, I use the student’s characteristics as the main focal points.Conclude with a sincere statement of recommendation for the student to the college of their choice. When sending the recommendation to a single college, use the college’s name in your recommendation. Lastly, I return to using the student’s full name in my final reference to him in the letter.My last statement encourages the college to contact me with any further questions. I’ll be surely delighted to receive any of their inquiry, meaning my student is under their consideration!七、汉译英（整句）52．（2021·上海·上海市实验学校校考三模）他词汇量大，常被别人称作活字典，而且乐于助人。

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Birds of a feather may flock together, but why they fly together in V formations has never been known for certain.Now, with the help of 14 northern bald ibises (欧洲秃鹰) equipped with __41__ sensors on a 600-mile migration from Austria to Italy, researchers are suggesting that the explanation is one that was long __42__ but never proved: the formations helps the birds conserve energy.Reporting in the __43__ Nature, the scientists write that the ibises __44__ themselves in spots that were aerodynamically optimal (空气动力学上最佳的) –allowing them to take advantage of swirls of upward-moving air __45__ by the wings of the bird ahead. Since the lead bird got no lift advantage, the ibises regularly switched leaders.“We’ve been wondering for years whether flapping birds can save energy by following each other in the right was,” said Geiffrey Spedding, a researcher at the University of Southern California, w ho was not involved in the study. “This word answers that question, and the answer is yes.”The scientists, led by Jim Usherwood of the Royal Veterinary College in England, said a major __46__ was obtaining the data. The ibises hatched at Zoo Vienna in March 2011 and __47__ as part of a conservation project aimed at reintroducing the __48__ endangered species to its natural range in Europe.Some of the study’s authors served as human foster parents, taking the young birds on training flights in Salzburg, Austria. The humans rode in a paraplane, a type of lightweight aircraft, and the birds followed. Eventually, the foster parents taught the birds their 600-mile migration route from Salzburg to Orbetello, Italy, by flying alongside them.The birds wore custom-made data loggers that allowed the researchers to track flapping, speed and direction. Weighing less than an ounce, the devices included a memory card and a GPS unit, among other things. It is __49__ to about one foot and refreshes five times per second—the __50__ necessary to track the birds’ positions in relation to one another.The new study does not say how much energy the ibises saved through the V formation, but small gains could be useful over long migrations, experts say.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A （15分）Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.With children and their development, nothing is more important than imagination to help with the growth of thought processes and creativity.

Children become curious from a very young age and begin to wonder about various __54__ in this broad universe, but it is imagination that helps carry the child beyond the boundaries of imagination and into a new world of __55__.It is imagination that begins to develop and __56__ a very vital place in a child’s mental world. With imagination, a child can move mountains, __57__ himself to a distant world, make himself smaller or larger, or disappear from sight. Imagination allows children to form new ideas and explore old ideas, all at once. For children with more to escape in their __58__ realities, such as abuse victims or children with separated parents, imagination plays an even more critical role in development as it __59__ with coping.As parents, it is critical to promote imagination through various __60__ and ideas, __61__ children to fantasy worlds through books and television shows. Discuss these ideas together and explore your children’s ideas. Don’t judge them for the ideas they think of, but rather explore them together and ask questions to promote more thought through imagination. This will help children flesh out and __62__ ideas through their imagination, leading to the building blocks of creative __63__.When children get scared, it is important to show them compassion and belonging. This can be accomplished through the use of imagination __64__.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)How many things can you see in the night sky? A lot! On a clear night you might see theMoon, some planets, and thousands of sparkling stars.You can see even more with a telescope. You might see stars where before you only saw dark space. You might see that many stars look larger than others. You might see that some stars that look white are really red or blue. With bigger and bigger telescopes you can see more and more objects in the sky. And you can see those objects in more and more detail.But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see. We won’t see them with the biggest telescope in the world, on the clearest night of the year.That’s because they’re invisible. They’re the mysterious dead stars called black holes.You might find it hard to imagine that stars die. After all, our Sun is a star. Year after year we see it up in the sky, burning brightly, giving us heat and light. The Sun certainly doesn’t seem to be getting old or weak. But stars do burn out and die after billions of years.As a star’s gases burn, they give off light and heat. But when the gas runs out, the star stops burning and begins to die.As the star cools, the outer layers of the star pull in toward the center. The star squashes into a smaller and smaller ball. If the star was very small, the star ends up as a cold, dark ball called a black dwarf. If the star was very big, it keeps squashing inward until it’s packed together tighter than anything in the universe.Imagine if the Earth were crushed until it was the size of a tiny marble. That’s how tightly this dead star, a black hole, is packed. What pulls the star in toward its center with such power? It’s the same force that pulls you down when you jump – the force called gravity. A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks in everything – even light. The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes. That’s why you see nothing but blackness.So the next time you stare up at the night sky, remember: there’s more in the sky than meets the eye! Scattered in the silent darkness are black holes – the great mystery of space.66. According to the article, what causes a star to die?A. As it gets hotter and hotter, it explodes.B. It collides with other stars.C. It can only live for about a million years.D. As its gases run out, it cools down.67. Which of the following statements is NOT a fact?A. Black holes are dead stars.B. There is nothing as mysterious as a black hole.C. Black holes are invisible.D. Black holes have gravity.68.Which of the following is NOT a feature of a black dwarf?A. It is usually bigger than a white dwarf.B. It is dark.C. It is smaller in size than a common star.D. It is cold.69. What happens after a star dies?A. It burns up all of its gases.B. It falls to Earth.C. It becomes invisible.D. It becomes brighter and easier to see.70. Why can’t you see light when you look at a black hole?A. For most black holes are so far away.B. As the star’s gases burn, it stops giving off heat and light.C. As a star cools, its outer layers pull in toward its center.D. The gravity of a black hole is so strong that it sucks the light inward.(B)Below is a brief analysis of the first name only.

The findings, coupled with a widening range of scientific and historical research could add a fascinating new page to the epic of the Silk Road.The farest and most surprising discovery is pieces of silk found in the hair of and Egyptian mummy from about 1000 BC, long before regular traffic on the Silk Road and at least one thousand years before silk was previously thought to be used in Egypt. Other research may extend human activity along this route back even further, perhaps a million years to the migration of human ancestors into eastern Asia.The official origin of East-West commerce along the road is usually placed in the late 2nd century BC which was the agent of the Chinese Emperor Wu-di returned from a dangerous secret mission across the desert into the remote high country of Central Asia. The agent, Zhang Qian, travelled as far as Afghanistan back knowledge of even more distant lands such as Persia, Syria and a place known as Lijion. Histerents have called this one of the most important journeys in ancient times. His journey opened the way for what have been thought to be the first indirect contacts between the ancient world’s two superpowers, China and Rome. Chinese silk, first traded to central Asian tribes for war horses and to the Parthians of old Pet la lu exchange for acrobats and ostrich eggs, was soon finding its way through a network of merchants to the luxury markets in Rome.But the new discoveries show that Chinese silk was apparently present in the West long before the Han emperor started organized trade over the Silk Road.

According to The New Yorker, the reason is simple: it’s because Mark Zuckerberg is red-green colorblind. As the Facebook CEO told the magazine, “Blue is the richest color for me—I can see all of blue.”While Facebook’s choice of blue didn’t come after extensive research, it’s most likely not sheer coincidence that two other major social networking sites—Twitter and LinkedIn—also picked blue as their dominant color.Blue is the color of the intellect, the mind, making it the color of communication. And when you think about social media, it’s all about communicating. Besides, blue is the world’s favorite color, multiple surveys have shown. Ask people their favorite color, and in most parts of the world roughly half will say blue, a figure three to four times the support for common second-place finishers like purple or green. The color is also associated with trust, honor and productivity, which constitute how a lot of businesses want to be perceived.Another example is CocaCola. It’s not by accident that its logo and cans have remained red for decades. The mention of the beverage probably had you think of red immediately, the most emotionally intense color associated with boldness, love and life.The visual sense is the strongest developed sense in most human beings. Research has revealed that people make a subconscious judgment about a person, environment, or product within 90 seconds of initial viewing and that between 62 percent and 90 percent of that assessment is based on color alone.
