( ) of how much energy is being pumped into this gas by supermassive black holes, and so it allows us to form a more complete picture of how galaxies evolve, how the stars and the gas that will eventually cool out like rain to form the stars, evolves over cosmic time.”The scientists are also looking at the hot plasma —another kind of matter —and gases that surround galaxies. “This is gas that has not cooled out and condensed out like rain in our atmosphere to form stars, planets, life, for example. So it's the potential for the future, and we're trying to understand what the future destiny of this galaxy and many other galaxies would be.”McNamara says that supermassive black holes may change how galaxies form and change over time. “The energy released by these giant black holes is very 25. ( ) to these atmospheres, which is the stuff out of which future stars will form.”And what that means, he says, is that these huge black holes can affect the rate at which a galaxy grows.SummaryListen to the passage and complete the table using no more than three words for each blank according to what you hear.

Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.A computer with the power of a human brain is a long way off, but this week researchers are 46. re( ) that they've simulated a cat's cerebral cortex, the thinking part of the brain, using a massive supercomputer. The computer has 147,456 processors and 144 terabytes of main memory―100,000 times as 47. ( ) as your computer has.The simulation, which runs 100 times slower than an actual cat's brain, is more about watching how thoughts are 48. ( )(form) in the brain and how the roughly one billion neurons and 10 trillion synapses in a cat's brain work together.The researchers created a programme that told the supercomputer to behave in the way that a brain is 49. ( )(believe) to behave. The computer was shown images of corporate logos and scientists watched as 50. dif( ) parts of the simulated brain worked together to figure out what the image was.Dharmendra Modha, manager of cognitive computing for IBM Research and senior author of the paper, called it a“truly unprecedented scale of simulation”. Researchers at Stanford University and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory were also part of the project. Modha says the research could lead 51. ( ) computers that rely less on structured data, such as 2 plus 1 equals 4, and can handle ambiguity better, like 52. ide( ) the corporate logo even if the image is blurry. Such computers could also incorporate senses such as sight, touch and 53. ( )(hear) into the decisions they make.One reason that development would be 54. ( )(signify) to IBM is that the company is now selling smarted planet services that use digital sensors to monitor things like weather and 55. ( ) and feed that the data into computers that are asked to various things with the information, like predicting a tsunami or detecting a freeway way accident. Other companies could use cognitive computing as well to make better sense of large volumes of information.Part IV Reading Comprehension (30 marks)There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by several questions. Respond to the questions using information from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Section A (10 marks)Questions 56—60 are based on the following passage.Situated at the heart of Beijing, the Palace Museum is approached through the Gate of Heavenly Peace (Tian'an men). Because of its centrality as well as restricted access, the palace was called The Forbidden City. It was built from 1406 to 1420 by the third emperor of the Ming dynasty, the Yongle Emperor who, upon usurping the throne, determined to move his capital northward from Nanjing to Beijing. The Ming dynasty fell to the Manchu Qing in 1644 and in 1911 the Qing dynasty was overthrown by the republican revolutionaries.56. ( )57. ( ) Measuring 961 meters from north to south and 753 meters from east to west, it covers an area of 1,110,000 square meters. Each of the four sides is pierced by a gate: the Meridian Gate (Wu men) on the south, the Gate of Divine Prowess (Shenwu men) on the north, theEastern and Western Prosperity Gates (Donghua men and Xihua men). Once inside, visitors will see a succession of halls and palaces spreading out on either side of an invisible central axis. The buildings' glowing yellow roofslevitating above vermilion walls is a magnificent sight. The painted ridges and carved beams all contribute to the sumptuous effect.Known as the Outer Court, the southern portion of the Forbidden City centers on three main halls –Hall of Supreme Harmony (Taihedian), Hall of Central Harmony (Zhonghedian), and Hall of Preserving Harmony (Baohedian).58. ( ) Mirroring this arrangement is the Inner Court comprising the northern portion of the Forbidden City. The Inner Court is comprised of not only the residences of the emperor and his consorts but also venues for religious rituals and administrative activities.59. ( ) These were precisely designed in accordance with a code of architectural hierarchy, which designated specific features to reflect the paramount authority and status of the emperor. No ordinary mortal would have been allowed or would even have dared to come within close proximity to these buildings.60. ( ) The collection, displayed in gallery halls throughout the complex, is becoming increasingly more accessible with digital technologies. The Museum's website, established in 2001, is dedicated to presentinga “Digital Palace Museum”by which the wealth of cultural heritage contained in the Forbidden City may be effectively spread worldwide.Questions 56—60Choose from the sentences A ―G the one which best fits each gap of 56 ―60. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.A. It was here in the Ourter Court that the emperor held court and conducted grand audiences.B. During nearly six hundred years, twenty-four emperors lived and ruled from this palace.C. In total, the buildings of the two courts account for an area of some 163,000 square meters.D. The Palace Museum's range of publications has created further interest in domains such as the Forbidden City's history, architecture, and vast cultural holdings.E. The Forbidden City is surrounded by 10-metre-high walls and a 52-metre-wide moat.F. Although the Forbidden City used to be an impenetrable fortress, the imperial palace is now a public museum.G. The Museum's administration launched a policy of comprehensive restoration.Section B (10 marks)Questions 61—65 are based on the following passage.Like people, each country has unique characteristics. Many countries are known by the products they produce. These products are anything from foods and minerals to plants and buildings. Here are whata few countries are known for.Sri Lanka is well known for its Ceylon tea. The country exports more black tea than any other nation. Ceylon was the country's name when it was a British colony. In the 19th century, Sri Lanka was famous for its coffee. But most of its coffee plantations were destroyed by insects in the 1870s. It was during this time Britain started the tea plantations.When people think of Bulgaria, they often say “Rosova Dolina,”which means “the valley of roses.”During the rule of the turkish Empire, the Bulgarian rose became widely popular. Bulgaria produces 80 percent of the world's roses. Bulgaria also produces rose oil and rose perfume. The country even has rose juice. In fact, people long ago believed that the Greek gods gained immortality by drinking elixir made with roses. To make one 500-milliter bottle of rose juice, 50 roses are needed.Ghana's cacao beans were used to make drinks for the rich during ancient times in Central America. Later,a special kind of cacao was brought to Ghana from Brazil in 1824. Known as the porastero cacao, it made up 80-90 percent of all cacao produced. The cacao is flat and dark purple. It has a bitter and sour taste. Ghana's chocolate has also gained international acclaim.It is difficult to say where cheese first came from. What we do know is that the Swiss made cheese long before Jesus was born. Cheese then was used as currency in Switzerland and represented social status and wealth. In the fourth century, cheese was internationally introduced and quickly became popular. There is an unusual story about how fondue came about. Long ago, the Swissliving on the mountains were confined to their homes because ofa large snowstorm. Cheese, wine and bread were the last food they had left. They melted the cheese with wine and ate the bread with it.Farmlands are plentiful in Argentina, so the country can grow many kinds of crops. The crops are used to feed its numerous livestock. The invention of refrigerator ships has made exporting of meats safer and easier. Argentina jumped at the opportunity to increase meat exports. Without refrigerator ships, the meat could get contaminated while travelling long distances.Questions 61—65Answer the following questions according to the passage.61. What was Sri Lanka well known for in 1800s?62. Why do people call Bulgaria “the valley of roses”?63. What does cacao look like?64. When was cheese well known to the world?65. What is Argentina famous for according to the passage?Section C (10 marks)Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage.There is a saying in France that states, “The government could fall, the Louvre could be broken into, or aliens could land on earth, but if any of these things happened during the Tour de France, no one would notice.”The Tour de France is the most famous cycling race in the world. The race, which is held in July every year, consists of twenty one -day stages, plus several rest days.The course follows a clockwise route around France, and often neighboring countries, including Luxembourg, Belgium, and Italy. The winner is the rider who completes all twenty stages of the race in the shortest overall time.The Tour de France first started on July 1, 1903, when sixty cyclists left from in front of The Alarm Clock Cafe, just outside of Paris, and rode 467 kilometers to Lyon. The first race consisted of six legs, each of which was about 400 kilometers long. At that time there were no rest days—the winner was the rider who finished the race in the shortest total time. The winner of the first Tour de France, Maurice Garin, the most popular cyclist in France at that time, received 2,000 francs (about $350). It took him 94 hours and 33 minutes to ride all 2,428 kilometers of the race, three hours faster than the runner-up. Over the weeks during which the race was run, the idea of the Tour de France slowly caught on with the people of France. The race has been held every year since that time, except during the years of World Wars I and II.The Tour de France has developed several special honors for which racers compete. Above all, the highest honor is the “yellow jersey”. Henri Desgranges, the founder of the race, introduced the yellow jersey in 1919 to show the leading racer each day of the Tour de France. Each day, the officials who keep track of all of the rider's times compare each rider's total time up to that point. The racer with the lowest overall time wears the yellow jersey during the following day's race. Other honors include the“green jersey”, which is given to the rider who sprints the best by riding the fastest over shortdistances, and the “polka dot jersey”,a white jersey with red dots, for the best rider in the mountains along the route.Over the years of the race, the competitors have gained a reputation for good sportsmanship. For example, ifa lead rider falls off his bike, it is common for the following riders to slow down to allow the fallen rider to catch up. Some watchers are surprised by this, but as German rider Jan Ullrich, who came in runner-up in 2002 after waiting for winner Lance Armstrong, says, Of course I would wait. If I would have won this race by taking advantage of someone's bad luck, then the race was not worth winning.Questions 66—70Complete the summary below with information from the passage, using no more than three words for each blank.The Tour de France is the most famous 66. ( ) race in the world. The race follows a 67. ( ) route around France, and some parts of the race may go into 68. ( ) countries like Belgium and Italy. The race 69.

Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.71. For hundreds of years, the Sphinx attracted people both as a religious monument and as a work of art. But eventually, the desert sand once again covered the Sphinx, leaving only the head visible. It was not until the 1800s that archaeologists began clearing the sand from the statue and began researching the long history of the Sphinx. At last, in the 1920, all of the sand was finally cleared away and restoration work, which continues to this day, was begun.Section B (10 marks)Translate the following paragraph into English. Remember to write the answer on the answer sheet.72. 我们采用绿色基因技术，目的在于使作物育种更有效，更环保。

A dog can be a happy addition to your family, but if you choose the wrong kind of dog, it can cause a lot of trouble.Families should sit down and thoroughly discuss the problems involved before buying a dog. Even if the children in your family are the ones who want the dog, the parents are ones who are really responsible for seeing that the animal is properly cared for. If you don’t know much about dogs, it’s a good idea to go to the library or the ASPCA (美国动物保护协会)for books about various kinds of dogs, as well as books about how to train a puppy. In reading about the different kinds, you should know that a dog described as very alert may be too jumpy and bouncy. When a book describes a dog as an ideal hunting dog, it probably means that the dog won’t be happy living in a small apartment. Dogs of different kinds vary in popularity as the years go by. One of the most popular dogs these days is the German shepherd. This is because it provides protection as well as companionship. The family should be warned that these dogs grow up to be very big, and may be too powerful for children to handle. If space is limited, a toy dog may be a good choice. These dogs are very small and easy to train. They don’t need to be walked daily, since they can exercise in the space available in the home.1. The main topic of the passage is ________.A) the care and proper selection of dogs for family petsB) different breeds of dogsC) responsibility for seeing that dogs are properly cared forD) different kinds of books about dogs2. According to the passage, who is really responsible for the dog’s welfare?A) Children. B) Parents. C) Family D) ASPCA3. The writer suggests one can get information about the different kinds of dogs _________.A) from the ASPCA B) from the libraryC) by buying a dog from a pet store D) by reading books about dogs4. According to the passage, why is the German shepherd a popular dog?A) Because they are big and aggressive.B) Because they provide companionship as well as protection.C) Because most people are afraid of them.D) Because they are easy to train.5. The toy dog is a good choice when ________.A) you have small children B) your living space is not largeC) you are afraid of large dogs D) you live in the city（二）CACBCSarah Winchester was a very rich woman.

Computers have become important for many reasons. They work faster than humans and make fewer mistakes. They can ―remember ‖ huge amounts of information. A computer can solve millions of problems in a few seconds. A person might need years to solve the same number of problems. Computers are used in nearly every kind of work. Police use them to check on stolen cars. Companies use them to keep track of supplies. Planes and trains are guided by computers. So are telephone calls and traffic lights. Small computers are being used in schools and homes. In 1981 there were 30,000 computers in our classrooms. Today there are over 700,000 computers in our classrooms. The use of computers in growing.

They come to watch the ―Indy 500.‖ This 500-mile race is the most famous of all auto races.The motor race track is on the spot where an old farm once stood. A man named Carl Fisher bought the land in 1909. The car was a new invention at that time. Hardly anyone took the idea of car racing seriously. Yet Fisher pushed ahead with his plan to build a track.In two years the track was finished. It took 450 workers, 300 mules, and seven giant steamrollers to do the job. First, the ground was made perfectly flat. Then gravel was spread over the two-and-a-half-mile track. The top layer was made of crushed stone and tar. Grandstands to hold 15,000 people were build.The first races at the track were a disaster. The road broke under the speeding autos. Dust and rocks flew into drivers faces. There were several accidents. Some drivers and even some fans were killed.Auto racing might have ended after that. But Carl Fisher promised to make the track safer. This was done by paving it with 3,000 bricks. Safer grandstands were also built. Now they hold 300,000 fans who attend the race each year.1. What kind land was the auto track built on?A) Farmland.

(30 points)Passage OneExtinction is the disappearance, brought about by natural or unnatural means, of an entire species.Some species of plants and animals die out naturally because newer species are more successful at competing for food and living space. Others have become extinct because of changes in the planet or because of natural disasters (灾难). Dinosaurs（恐龙）, for example, may have died out because the climate became cooler —maybe because an asteroid（⼩⾏星）collided （碰撞）with the earth and caused a big cloud of dust that blocked out（遮住）the sun.In today’s world, however, species mostly become extinct or are threatened（威胁）with extinction because of humans. Humans hunt animals, destroy their habitats（栖息地）, and introduce other animals that prey upon（捕⾷）the endangered animals or compete for their resources. Among these factors, the greatest threat to plants and animals is habitat destruction. It is estimated（估计）that about 125 species of birds and 60 species of mammals（哺乳动物）have become extinct since 1600. Currently（⽬前）, there are approximately（⼤约）1,000-1,100 species of birds and mammals that are facing extinction. If invertebrates（⽆脊椎动物）and plants are included, the total number of species in imminent（临近的）danger is around 20,000.Sample（浏览）the following internet activities and complete the tasks for each one to learn about two animals that no longer exist.The passenger pigeon was an attractive bird with a blue back and a pink breast（胸）that existed in huge populations. In fact, it may have been the most abundant（多的）bird ever to have lived. John James Audubon observed a flock of pigeons passing over a period of three days at a rate he estimated at over 300 million birds an hour. The passage of large flocks created a roar of wings that could be heard 6 miles away. The pigeons nested（筑巢）in long narrow colonies（聚居地）that could be 40 miles long and several miles across. They occurred throughout Eastern North America where they fed on acorns（橡树果实）and beechnuts（⼭⽑榉实）.Early settlers in the United States developed a taste for passenger pigeon and commercial hunters devised（想出）many different ways of killing large numbers of the birds. They were suffocated（闷死）by burning grass or sulphur（硫磺）below their roosts (栖⽊); fed grain（⾕物）soaked（浸泡）in alcohol（酒精）; beaten down with long sticks, killed with shotguns （猎枪）, caught in nets or trapped using a decoy（诱饵）pigeon tied to a perch called a stool （囮鸽的栖⽊）(this is the origin of the term “stool pigeon（囮鸽）”).1. What did passenger pigeons look like?2. Once, notable bird conservationist John James Audubon observed a flock of pigeons passing over a period of three days at a rate he estimated to be how many birds an hour?3. Where did passenger pigeons live and what did they eat?4. What were some of the ways that passenger pigeons were killed?The Great Auk was a 3-foot tall penguin-like（像企鹅的）flightless（不能飞的）seabird. It was a very fast underwater swimmer, but clumsy（笨拙的）on land. Hundreds of thousands of these birds lived in the North Atlantic（⼤西洋）. They were hunted between 1785 and 1844, mainly for their feathers which were used for mattress（床垫）and pillow stuffing（填料）. The last breeding （繁殖的）pair was killed by two fishermen, who also smashed the last egg.1. What well-known kind of bird did the Great Auk look like?2. Where did they live?3. When were they mainly hunted?4. What is one of the main reasons why they were hunted?5. Who killed the last breeding pair of Great Auks?46. Dinosaurs may have become extinct because of _______________ .A. a major earthquakeB. human factorsC. the change of climateD. the appearance of a new species47. Which human factor most seriously threatens the survival of animals?A. Human hunting.B. Habitat destruction.C. The introduction of rival （敌对的）species.D. The domestication（驯化）of wild animals.48.
