Scientists, who seek to understand the universe and know the truth within the highest degree of accuracy and certainty, cannot pay attention to their own or other people's likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. ____(48)____ . But even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides we have the choice of refusing to believe it ! But hardly so with technology; we do not have the choice of refusing to hear the sound produced by a supersonic (超音速的) aircraft flying overhead ; we cannot refuse to breathe polluted air.____(49)____ The purpose of technology is to serve people people in general, not merely some people; and future generations, not merely those who presently wish to gain advantage for themselves.____(50)____ Many people blame technology itself for widespread pollution, resource depletion (枯竭 ) and even social decay in general so much so that the promise of technology is "obscured". That promise is a cleaner and healthier world. If wise applications of science and technology do not lead to a better world, what else will?46、请在第__(46)__处填上正确答案A.Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progress in each.B.Unlike science, progress in technology must be measured in terms of the human factor.C.What scientists discover may shock or anger people as did Darwin's theory of evolution.D.Science and technology are different.E.We are all familiar with the improper use of technology.F.Science is a method of answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems.47、请在第_(47)___处填上正确答案A.Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progress in each.B.Unlike science, progress in technology must be measured in terms of the human factor.C.What scientists discover may shock or anger people as did Darwin's theory of evolution.D.Science and technology are different.E.We are all familiar with the improper use of technology.F.Science is a method of answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems.48、请在第_(48)___处填上正确答案A.Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progress in each.B.Unlike science, progress in technology must be measured in terms of the human factor.C.What scientists discover may shock or anger people as did Darwin's theory of evolution.D.Science and technology are different.E.We are all familiar with the improper use of technology.F.Science is a method of answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems.49、请在第_(49)___处填上正确答案A.Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progress in each.B.Unlike science, progress in technology must be measured in terms of the human factor.C.What scientists discover may shock or anger people as did Darwin's theory of evolution.D.Science and technology are different.E.We are all familiar with the improper use of technology.F.Science is a method of answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems.50、请在第__(50)__处填上正确答案A.Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progress in each.B.Unlike science, progress in technology must be measured in terms of the human factor.C.What scientists discover may shock or anger people as did Darwin's theory of evolution.D.Science and technology are different.E.We are all familiar with the improper use of technology.F.Science is a method of answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems.。

Keeping Cut Flowers1. While everybody enjoys fresh cut flowers around his house, few people know how to keep them for as long as possible. This may be done by keeping in mind a few simple facts.2. An important thing to remember about cut flowers is that they are sensitive to temperature. For example, studies have shown that cut carnations (康乃馨) retain their freshness eight, times longer when kept at 12~C than when kept at 26~C. Keeping freshly harvested flowers at the right temperatures is probably the most important aspect of flower care.3. Flowers are not intended by nature to live very long. Their biological purpose is simply to attract birds or insects, Such as bees, for pollination (授粉)fg). After that, they quickly dry up and die. The process by which flowers consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide (二氧化碳), called respiration (呼吸), generates the energy the flower needs to give the flower its shape and colour. The making of seeds also depends on this energy. While all living things respire, flowers have a high level of respiration. A result of all this respiration is heat, and for flowers the level of heat relative to the mass of the flower is very high. Respiration also brings about the eventual death of the flower. Thus the greater the level of respiration, the sooner the flower dies.4. How, then, to control the rate at which flowers die? By controlling respiration. How is respiration controlled? By controlling temperature we know that respiration produces heat, but the reverse is also true. Thus by maintaining low temperatures, respiration is reduced and the cut flower will age more slowly.5. Another vital factor in keeping cut flowers is the quality of the water in which theyare placed. Flowers find it difficult to "drink" water that is dirty or otherwise polluted. Even when water looks and smells clean, it almost certainly contains harmful substances that can endanger the flowers. To rid the water of these unwanted substances, household chlorine bleach (含氯漂白剂) can be used in small quantities. It is recommended that 15 drops of chlorine bleach ( at 4% solution) be added to each litre of water. The water and solution should also be replaced each day.23、Paragraph 2___A.Control of RespirationB.Beauty of Fresh Cut FlowersC.Role of RespirationD.Most Important Aspect of Flower CareE.Need for Clean WaterF.Ways of Stopping Respiration24、 Paragraph 3___A.Control of RespirationB.Beauty of Fresh Cut FlowersC.Role of RespirationD.Most Important Aspect of Flower CareE.Need for Clean WaterF.Ways of Stopping Respiration25、 Paragraph 4___A.Control of RespirationB.Beauty of Fresh Cut FlowersC.Role of RespirationD.Most Important Aspect of Flower CareE.Need for Clean WaterF.Ways of Stopping Respiration26、 Paraoraph 5___A.Control of RespirationB.Beauty of Fresh Cut FlowersC.Role of RespirationD.Most Important Aspect of Flower CareE.Need for Clean WaterF.Ways of Stopping Respiration27、 A few simple facts will help you keep cut flowers____A.by keeping its original shape and colourB.in the life of the cut flowerC.to produce carbon dioxideD.for as long as possibleE.by controlling temperatureF.to replace the water and solution every day28、 Respiration plays a key role____A.by keeping its original shape and colourB.in the life of the cut flowerC.to produce carbon dioxideD.for as long as possibleE.by controlling temperatureF.to replace the water and solution every day29、 The aging of cut flowers can be slowed down____A.by keeping its original shape and colourB.in the life of the cut flowerC.to produce carbon dioxideD.for as long as possibleE.by controlling temperatureF.to replace the water and solution every day30、Another important way to prolong the life of cut flowers is____A.by keeping its original shape and colourB.in the life of the cut flowerC.to produce carbon dioxideD.for as long as possibleE.by controlling temperatureF.to replace the water and solution every day。

第三部分：阅读理解根据材料，回答31-36问题。
第一篇Valuing ChildhoodThe value of childhood is easily blurred ( 变得模糊不清) in today's world. Consider some recent developments. The child, murderers in the Jonesboro schoolyard shooting case were convicted and sentenced. Two boys, 7 and 8, were charged in the murder of an 11-year-old girl in Chicago.Children who commit horrible crimes appear to act of their own will. Yet, as legal proceedings in Jonesboro showed, the one boy who was able to address the court couldn't begin to explain his acts, though he tried to apologize. There may have been a motive youthful jealousy (妒忌) and resentment. But a deeper question remains: Why did these boys and others in similar trouble apparently lack any inner, moral restraint?That question echoes for the accused in Chicago, young as they are. They wanted the girl's bicycle, a selfish impulse common enough among kids.Redemption (拯救) is a practical necessity. How can value be restored to young lives distorted by acts of violence? The boys in Jonesboro and in Chicago will be confined in institutions for a relatively short time. Despite horror at what was done, children are not -- cannot be--dealt with as adults, not if a people wants to consider itself civilized. That's why politicians' cries for adult treatment of youthful criminals ultimately miss the point.But the moral void (真空) that invites violence has many sources. Family instability contributes, so does economic stress. That void, however, can be filled. The work starts with parents, who have to ask themselves whether they're doing enough to give their children a firm sense of right and wrong. Are they really monitoring their activities and their developing processes of thought?Schools, too, have a role in building character. So do youth organizations. So do youth enforcement agencies, which can do more to inform the young about laws, their meaning, and their observance (遵守).The goal, ultimately, is to allow all children a normal passage from childhood to adulthood (成年) , so that tragic gaps in moral judgement are less likely to occur. The relative few who fill such gaps with acts of violence hint at many others who don't go that far, but who lack the moral foundations childhood should provide-and which progressive human society relies on.31、 The two boys in Chicago were____A.shot.B.murdered.C.accused.D.sentenced.32、 The boys in Jonesboro and Chicago apparently lacked a sense of____A.right and wrongB.discipline.C.shame.D.safety.33、 According to politicians, when children commit crimes, they should be treated in the same way as____A.murderers.B.criminals.C.victims.D.adults.34、Which of the following does the writer cite as a source of moral void____?A.Official corruption.B.Social injustice.C.Family instability.D.Racial discrimination.35、Which of the statements is NOT true according to this passage____?A.Parents should strengthen moral instruction.B.Schools should help create a moral sense in children.w enforcement agencies should do more to help children understand laws.D.Youth organizations play no role in building character.根据材料，回答36-41问题。

根据材料，回答31-36问题第一篇"Salty" Rice Plant Boosts HarvestsBritish scientists are breeding a new generation of rice plants that will be able to grow in soil containing salt water. Their work may enable abandoned farms to become productive once more.Tim Flowers and Tony Yeo, from Sussex University's School of Biological Sciences, have spent several years researching how crops, such as rice, could be made to grow in water that has become salty.The pair have recently begun a three-year programme, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, to establish which genes enable some plants to survive salty conditions. The aim is to breed this capability into crops, starting with rice.It is estimated that each year more than 10m hectares (公顷) of agricultural land are lost because salt gets into the soil and stunts (妨碍生长) plants. The problem is caused by several factors. In the tropics, mangroves (红树木) that create swamps (沼泽) and traditionally formed barriers to sea water have been cut down. In the Mediterranean, a series of droughts have caused the water table to drop, allowing sea water to seep (渗透) in. In Latin America, irrigation often causes problems when water is evaporated (蒸发) by the heat, leaving salt deposits behind.Excess salt then enters the plants and prevents them functioning normally. Heavy concentrations of minerals in the plants stop them drawing up the water they need to survive.To overcome these problems, Flowers and Yeo decided to breed rice plants that take in very little salt and store what they do absorb in cells that do not affect the plants' growth. Theyhave started to breed these characteristics into a new rice crop, but it will take about eight harvests before the resulting seeds are ready to be considered for commercial use.Once the characteristics for surviving salty soil are known, Flowers and Yeo will try to breed the appropriate genes into all manners of crops and plants. Land that has been abandoned to nature will then be able to bloom again, providing much needed food in the poorer countries of the world.31、Which of the following statements about Flowers and Yeo is true____?A.They are students at Sussex University,B.They are rice breeders.C.They are husband and wife.D.They are colleagues at an institution of higher learning.32、Flowers and Yeo have started a programme ____.A.to find ways to prevent water pollutionB.to identify genes that promote growth in salty soilC.to breed rice plants that taste saltyD.to find ways to remove excessive salt from soil33、Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of the problem discussed in the passage____?A.Natural barriers to Sea water have been destroyed.B.The water table has gone down after droughts.C.Sea level has been continuously rising.D.Evaporation of water leaves salt behind.34、 The word "affect" in Paragraph 6 could be best replaced by ____A."influence"B."effect"C."stop"D."present"35、 The attitude of the author towards the research project is ____A.positiveB.negative.C.suspiciousD.indifferent.根据下列材料，回答36-41问题Ford's Assembly LineWhen it comes to singling out those who have made a difference in all our lives, you cannot overlook Henry Ford. A historian a century from now might well conclude that it was Ford who most influenced all manufacturing, everywhere, even to this day, by introducing a new way to make cars one, strange to say, that originated in slaughterhouses (屠宰场).Back in the early 1900's, slaughterhouses used what could have been called a "disassembly line". Ford reversed this process to see if it would speed up production of a part of an automobile engine called a magneto. Rather than have each worker completely assemble a magneto, one of its elements was placed on a conveyer, and each worker, as it passed, added another component to it, the same one each time. Professor David Hounshell of the University of Delaware, an expert on industrial development, tells what happened."The previous day, workers carrying out the entire process had averaged one assembly every 20 minutes. But on that day, on the line, the assemble team averaged one every 13minutes and 10 seconds per person. "Within a year, the time had been reduced to five minutes. In 1913, Ford went all the way. Hooked together by ropes, partially assembled vehicles were towed (拖,拉) past workers who completed them one piece at a time. It hasn't long before Ford was turning out several hundred thousand cars a year, a remarkable achievement then. And so efficient and economical was this new system that he cut the price of his cars in half, to $ 260, putting them within reach of all those who, up until that time, could not afford them. Soon, auto makers and the world all copied him.In fact, heencouraged them to do so by writing a book about all of his innovations, entitled Today and Tomorrow. The Age of the Automobile has arrived. Today, aided by robots and other forms of automation (自动化), everything from toasters to perfumes is made on assembly lines.36、Which of the following statements about Henry Ford is NOT true____?A.He introduced a new way of production.B.He influenced all manufacturing.C.He inspired other auto makers.D.He changed a historian's mind.37、The writer mentions "slaughterhouses" because they were the places where ____A.Ford's assembly line originatedB.Ford made his first carC.Ford readjusted the assembly lineD.Ford innovated the disassembly line38、A magneto is a technical term for____A.an automobileB.a production lineC.a part of an automobile engineD.a disassembly line39、the phrase "turning out" in the last paragraph could be best replaced by____A."producing"B."selling"C."buying"D."fixing"40、The invention of the assembly line enabled Henry Ford____A.to create more jobs for the unemployedB.to write a book on historyC.to reduce the price of his cars to $260D.to cut the production of his cars by 50%根据下列材料，回答41-46问题第三篇PlayPlay is the principal business of childhood, and in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy, everychild needs opportunity and the right materials for play, and the main tools of play are toys, Their main function is to suggest, encourage and assist play.
