Toads are Arthritic and in PainArthritis (关节炎）is an Illness that can cause pain and swelling in your bones. Toads (蟾蜍），a big problem In the north of Australia, are suffering from painful arthritis in their legs and backbone, a new study has shown. The toads that jump the fastest are more likely to be larger and to have longer legs.___ (46)The large yellow toads, native to South and Central America, were introduced into the north-eastern Australian state of Queensland in 1935 In an attempt to stop beetles and other Insects from destroying sugarcane crops. Now up to 200 million of the poisonous toads exist in the country, and they are rapidly spreading through the state of Northern Territory at a rate of up to 60 km a year. The toads can now be found across more than one million square kilometres. ___ (47) A Venezuelan poison virus was tried in the 1990s but had to be abandoned after it was found to also kill native frog species.The toads have severely affected ecosystems in Australia. Animals, and sometimes pets, that eat the toads die immediately from their poison, and the toads themselves eat anything they can fit inside their mouth. ___ (48)A co-author of the new study, Rick Shine, a professor at the University of Sydney, says that little attention has been given to the problems that toads face. Rick and his colleagues studied nearly 500 toads from Queensland and the Northern Territory and found that those in the latter state were very different. They were active, sprinting down roads and breeding quickly.According to the results of the study, the fastest toads travel nearly one kilometer a night. ___ (49) But speed and strength come at a price — arthritis of the legs and backbone due to constant pressure placed on them.In laboratory tests, the researchers found that after about 15 minutes of hopping, arthritic toads would travel less distance with each hop (跳跃）. ___ (50) These toads are so programmed to move, apparently, that even when in pain the toads travelled as fast and as far as the healthy ones, continuing their constant march across the landscape.A Furthermore, they soon take over the natural habitats of Australia’s native species.B Toads are not built to be road runners — they are built to sit around ponds and wet areas.C But this advantage also has a big drawback — up to 10% of the biggest toads suffer from arthritis.D But arthritis didn’t slow down toads outside the laboratory, the researchers found.E The task now facing the country is how to remove the toads.F Toads with longer legs move faster and travel longer distances, while the others are being left behind.第6部分：完形填空（第51 ~65题，每题1分，共I5分）下面的短文有15处空白，请根据短文内容为每处空白确定1个最佳选项。

2013年职称英语考试理工类A级阅读判断练习Inhalable Water DropletsYou think that the biggest threat to your health when taking a shower comes from slipping on a bar of soap? Well, guess again.Preliminary studies by engineers at the University of Cincinnati and the Oak Ridge Institute for science and education, also in Cincinnati, indicate that some water-saving shower nozzles produce water droplets so small they can be inhaled, exposing anyone using the shower to several different health hazards.Using a device called an optical particle counter the researchers tested a number of shower nozzles, both of adjustable and fix-spray styles. They found that some products create droplets less than 10 microns in diameter-small enough to be inhaled. That\'s problem, the researchers theories, because the water may contain trace of chemicals used by treatment facilities to kill microbes and bacteria in the water. These organic compounds are relatively safe to take in by drinking, but may not be safe to inhale.Another threat may be possible as well. Previous research has shown that the droplets can contain microbes that live inside the warm, wet interior of shower nozzles. When the faucet is turn on, these microbes are swept out through the nozzles. If these droplets are inhaled, the microbes could pose a threat to people who are with asthma and other respiratory problems.All of this doesn't mean you should skip your morning shower just yet. More research is needed, cautious oak ridge institute scientist Veranda Sethi says, before anyone can determine just how serious — or insignificant — these health risks may be. Moreover, not all water-conserving nozzles produce inhalable droplets. "It all depends on the design of the nozzle," says Sethi. Right now there is no way for consumers to know which nozzle produce these tiny drops. "We are working to develop specifications for shower head designs that would not generate droplets in the inhalable size range," he adds.1.The first paragraph is a question to which the author hopes to have a positive answer from thereader.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned2.Shower nozzles shower nozzles that produce water droplets, big and small, can expose anyoneusing the shower to health problems.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned3.The chemicals contained in water kill bacteria to make it safe for drinking.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned4.

Thus，most American traditions are not really American. But Thanksgiving （感恩节）is different because it started in America. So it is a truly American tradition.Life provides many good and bad things. Every year，in November，Thanksgiving Day reminds us of the good things in life，and people are thankful. On this day people usually eat turkey and great quantities of other foods. Jesse has decided to spend Thanksgiving with David and Elizabeth Watson because he likes them，and because he cannot go to his parents' home in Chicago.Elizabeth's nickname （昵称）is Betty，and people usually call her that. She is the secretary of Jesse's boss. Jesse got to know the Watsons two years ago and he and Dave have become good friends. Sometimes they go fishing or to a ball game together.The Watsons live in a small apartment in a suburb of New York City. The offices where Betty works are in downtown New York，and she has to take a bus and two subway trains to go to work every day. It takes her about one hour to get there. She finds the trip boring and tiring. She wants to stay home in order to take care of the family and enjoy the children. The Watsons have three children. Their daughter Sue is in the fourth grade and their son Paul is in the second grade. They also have a two-year-old daughter，Ann.The children like Jesse；he is their hero. He tells them stories about foreign countries，about Africa and China，about the Pacific and Japan；he has never even seen most of these countries. He knows about fast cars and new inventions. The Watson children think that Jesse is full of adventures；he is fascinating to them. Frequently he takes them to the park and joins them in their games.Today Jesse brought Sue a record of her favorite music，because she has a new record player. He also brought Paul a toy truck and Ann a plastic （塑料）book with bright pictures，and Betty a bunch of flowers. Betty cooked a nice turkey，and they all ate too much. After dinner the children wanted to go out to the park with Jesse. But they had to stay home，because it was raining. Later，Dave and Jesse sat down in front of the TV to watch a football game.1 Thanksgiving is not a truly American traditionA RightB WrongC Not mentioned2 Thanksgiving Day falls on the 4th Thursday in November.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned3 The turkey is a most popular food on Thanksgiving DayA RightB WrongC Not mentioned4 Jesse and his boss are good friends.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned5 Elizabeth enjoys going to work in downtown New YorkA RightB WrongC Not mentioned6 The children like Jesse because he once traveled around the worldA RightB WrongC Not mentioned7 Jesse had a good time in his friends' homeA RightB WrongC Not mentioned【参考答案】1.

George liked his job and he liked the town he lived in，but his wife kept telling him that his pay was not enough to meet the needs of the family. That was why he was thinking of taking a job in Birmingham，a nearby city，about 50 miles away. He had been offered a job in a factory there，and the pay was far better.George lived in Welford，a medium-sized town. He really liked the place and didn't like the idea of moving somewhere else，but if he took the job in Birmingham，he would have to move his family there.Henry Manley was the manager of a small company manufacturing electric motors. The company was in deep trouble because，among other reasons，the Japanese were selling such things at very low prices. As a result，Manley had to cut his own prices and profits as well. Otherwise he would not get any orders at all. Even then，orders were still not coming in fast enough，so that there was no money for raises （加工资）for his workers Somehow，he had to struggle along and keep his best workers as well. He sighed. Just then the phone rang.His secretary told him that George Strong wanted to see him as soon as possible. Manley sighed again. He could guess what it was about. George Strong was a very young engineer. The company had no future unless it could attract and keep men like him Manley rubbed his forehead （前额）；his problems seemed endless.1 Henry Manley was already deeply in debt.A RightB C Not mentioned2 The job that had been offered to George in Birmingham paid better.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned3 If George took the job in Birmingham，he would have to leave his family at Welford.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned4 Henry Manley's company was in deep trouble.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned5 Henry Manley's company was making enough profits to raise the workers' wagesA RightB WrongC Not mentioned6 Henry Manley had no idea at all why George Strong wanted to see himA RightB WrongC Not mentioned7 George Strong was the best engineer in Henry Manley's company.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned【参考答案】1.

CUsing HIV Virus to Cure CancerScientists are planning to use human immunodeficiency （免疫缺陷）virus （HIV），one of mankind's most feared viruses，as a carrier of genes which can fight cancer and a range of diseases that cannot be cured. The experts say HIV has an almost perfect ability to avoid the body's immune （免疫的）defenses，making it ideal for carrying replacement genes into patients' bodies，according to the Observer.A team at the California-based Salk Institute，one of the world's leading research centers on biological sciences，has created a special new breed of HIV and has started negotiations with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration （FDA）to begin clinical gene therapy （治疗）trials this year. The first trials are expected to involve patients suffering from cancers that cannot be cured by surgery although project leader Professor Inder Verma said the HIV technique would have "far wider applications".The plan remains very likely to cause controversy since it involves making use of a virus which has caused more than 22 million deaths around the world in the past two decades. Verma said that the idea of using HIV for a beneficial purpose was "shocking" but the fierce nature of HIV had disappeared by having all six of the potentially deadly genes removed.Illnesses such as various cancers are caused when a gene in a patient's body fails to work properly. In the past two years，breakthroughs in genetics （遗传学）have led gene therapy scientists to try and replace the genes that do not function normally.Unfortunately，the body's immune defenses have been known to attack the modified genes and make them lose their effects before they can start their task and progress in the field has been held up by the lack of a suitable carrier.'The HIV virus has the ability to escape from，and. then destroy，the immune defense cells designed to protect our bodies and this makes it attractive to scientists as a way of secretly conveying replacement genes into patients' bodies.1 FDA has approved the plan of using HIV to cure cancer in humansA RightB WrongC Not mentioned2 The idea of using HIV for a beneficial purpose has been widely accepted.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned3 HIV can be safely used to cure cancer only if the deadly genes have been removedA RightB WrongC Not mentioned4 The HIV virus is an excellent warrior to fight the body's immune cellsA RightB WrongC Not mentioned5 Other countries are also expected to begin clinical gene therapy trials soonA RightB WrongC Not mentioned6 It is the lack of money that has held up the progress in using replacement genes to cure cancer.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned7 The HIV virus has caused more deaths in developed countries.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned【参考答案】1.

And with bunches of grapes swinging (摇摆) in the wind, the vineyards of southern France are getting ready to celebrate it.The yearly wine festival is held in honor of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine. It’s a fun time with parties, music, dancing, big meals and, of course, lots of wine.French wine making began more than 2,500 years ago. The world’s oldest type of vine grows in France and always produces a good quality wine. Today France produces one fifth of the world’s wine, and some of the most famous varieties.The top wine producing areas are Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Loire Valley. Champagne, a drink used in celebrations, is named after the place where sparkling (有气泡的)wine was first produced in 1700.Wine is made from the juice of freshly picked grapes. It is the sugars that turn into alcohol.Traditionally, people used to take off their shoes and crush the grapes with their bare feet to bring out the juice. Nowadays, this practice is usually carried out by machines.Each wine producing region has its own character, based on its type of grapes and soil.The taste of wine changes with time. Until 1850, all French champagne was sweet. Now, both wine and champagne taste slightly bitter.The drink has always been linked with riches, romance and nobleness. Yet the French think of it in more ordinary terms.They believe it makes daily living easier, less hurried and with fewer problems.“All its links are with times when people are at their best; with relaxation, happiness, long slow meals and the free flow of ideas, ”wrote wine expert Hugh Johnson.1 All French people celebrate the grape harvest every September.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned2 In the yearly wine festival, people always enjoy themselves.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned3 Wine making in France has a history of over 2,500 years.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned4 Many varieties of wine produced in France are named after places.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned5 Different regions in France produce different types of wine.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned6 French wine will taste sour (酸的) in future.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned7 The French people believe that drinking wine is a good way to relax.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned参考答案：B A A C A C A答案解析1. 从第一段的最后一句话“the vineyards of southern France are getting ready to celebrate it.”中，可以得出，庆祝这个节日的是southern France，不是all French people，所以答案选择B Wrong。

第一篇When Our Eyes Serve Our StomachOur senses aren't just delivering a strict view of wha t’s going on in the world; they’re affecte d by wha t’s going on in our heads. A new study finds that hungry people see food-related words more clearly than people who’v e just eaten.Psychologists have known for decades that wha t’s going on inside our heads affects our senses. For example, poorer children think coins are larger than they are, and hungry people think pictures of food are brighter. Remi Radel of University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis, France, wanted to investigate how this happens. Does it happen right away as the brain receives signals from the eyes or a little later as the brai n’s high-level thinking processes get involved?Radel recruited 42 students with a normal body mass (质量）index. On the day of his or her test, each student was told to arrive at the lab at noon after three or four hours of not eating. Then they were told there was a delay. Some were told to come back in 10 minutes；others were given an hour to get lunch first. So half the students were hungry when they did the experiment and the other half had just eaten.For the experiment, the participant looked at a computer screen. One by one, 80 words flashed on the screen for about 1/300th of a second each. They flashed at so small a size that the students could only consciously perceive. A quarter of the words were food- related. After each word, each person was asked how bright the word was and asked to choose which of two words they’d seen —- a food-related word like cake or a neutral (中性的）word like boat, Each word appeared too briefly for the participant to really read it.Hungry people saw the food-related words as brighter and were better at identifying food-related words. Because the word appeared too quickly for them to be reliably seen, this means that the difference is in perception, not in thinking processes，Radel says.“This is something great to me. Humans can really perceive what they need or what they strive (奋斗)f o r. From the experiment, I know that our brain can really be at the disposal (处理)of our motives (动机)and needs,” Radel says.31“Poorer children” and “hungry people” are mentioned in Paragraph 2 to showA they have sharper senses than others.B they lose their senses because of poverty and hunger.C humans' senses are affected by what they see with their eyes.D humans，senses are influenced by what’s going on in their heads.32There was a delay In Raders experiment becauseA he needed more students to join.B he didn’t prepare enough food for the 42 students.C he wanted two groups of participants, hungry and non-hungry.D he didn’t want to have the experiment at noon.33Why did the 80 words flash so fast and at so small a size on the screen?A To make sure the participant had no time to think consciouslyB To ensure the participant was unable to perceive anything.C To guarantee each word came out at the same speed and size.D To shorten the time of the experiment34Radel’s experiment discovered that hungry peopleA were better at identifying neutral words.B were always thinking of food-related words.C saw every word more clearly than stomach-full people,D were more sensitive to food-related words than stomach-full people.35It can be learnt from what Radel says thatA humans’ thinking processes are independent of their senses.B humans can perceive what they need without deep thinking processes.C an experiment with hungry and non-hungry participants is not reliable.D42 participants are too small a number for a serious investigation.第二篇The Development of BalletBallet is a dance form that has a long history. The fact that it survives to this day shows that it has adjusted as times have changedBallet began in the royal courts during the Renaissance. At that time it became common for kings and queens，as well as other nobility (贵族)，to participate in pageants that included music，poetry, and dance. As these entertainments moved from the Italian courts to the French ones, court ladies began participating in them. Though their long dresses prevented much movement, they were able to perform elaborate (复杂的）walking patterns. It was not until the 1600s that women dancers shortened their skirts, changed to flat shoes，and began doing some of the leaps and turns performed by men.It was also in the 1600s that professional ballet began. King Louis XIV of France, himself a devoted dancer, founded the Royal Academy of Dance. The five basic feet positions from which all ballet steps begin were finalized. In the Sate 1700s another important change occurred. Ballet began to tell a story on its own. It was no longer simply dance to be performed between acts of plays. Elaborate wigs (假发)and costumes were eliminated. By the early 1800s dancers learned to rise on their toes to make it appear that they were floating.Classical ballet as we know it today was influenced primarily by Russian dancing. The Russians remained interested in ballet when it declined in other European countries in the mid-1800s. One of the most influential figures of the early 20th century was Sergei Diaghilev. His dance company, the Ballets Russes, brought a new energy and excitement to ballet, One of his chief assistants, George Balanchine, went on to found the New York City Ballet in 1948 and to influence new generations of dancers.36This passage deals mainly withA famous names in ballet.B Russian balletC how ballet has developedD why ballet is no longer popular37The word “pageants” in Paragraph 2 meansA dancesB instructionsC royal courtsD big shows38Professional ballet was first performed inA ItalyB FranceC RussiaD America39Who had an important influence on early ballet?A Balanchine.B Antoinette.C Dlaghilev.D Louis XIV.40 can conclude from this passage that balletA is a dying artB will continue to change.C is currently performed only in Russia.D is often performed by dancers with little training.第三篇Energy and Public LandsThe United States boasts substantial energy resources. Federal lands provide a good deal of US energy production；the US Department of the Interior manages federal energy leasing (租赁），both on land and on the offshore Outer Continental Shelf. Production from these sources amounts to nearly 30 percent of total annual US energy production.In 2000，32 percent of US oil, 35 percent of natural gas, and 37 percent of coal were produced from federal lands, representing 20,000 producing oil and gas leases and 135 producing coal leases. Federal lands are also estimated to contain approximately 68 percent of all undiscovered US oil reserves and 74 percent of undiscovered natural gas.Revenues from federal oil, gas, and coal leasing provide significant returns to US taxpayers as well as State governments. In 1999，for example, $553 million In oil and gas revenues were paid to the US Treasury, and non-Indian coal leases accounted for over $304 million in revenues, of which 50 percent were paid to State governments. Public lands also play a critical role in energy delivery. Each year, federal land managers authorize (许可）rights of way for transmission lines, rail systems, pipelines, and other facilities related to energy production and use.Alternative energy production from federal lands falls behind conventional energy production, though the amount is still significant. For example, federal geothermal (地热）resources produce about 7.5 billion kilowatt-hours (千瓦时）of electricity per year, 47 percent of all electricity generated from US geothermal energy. There are 2,960 wind turbines on public lands in California alone, producing electricity for about 300,000 people. Federai hydropower (水电）facilities produce about 17 percent of ail hydropower produced in the United States.Because of the growing US thirst for energy and increasing public unease with dependence on foreign oil sources，pressure on public lands to meet US energy demands is becoming more intense. Public lands are available for energy development only after they have been evaluated through the land use planning process. If development of energy resources conflicts with management or use of other resources, development restrictions or impact moderation measures may be enforced, or mineral production may be banned altogether.41What is the main idea of this passage?A Public lands are one of the main sources of revenues.B Public lands play an important role in energy production.C Public lands should be developed to ease energy shortage.D Public lands store huge energy resources for further development.42Which of the following statements Is true of public lands in the US?A Half of US energy is produced there.B The majority of undiscovered natural gas is stored there.C Most of coal was produced from there in 2000.D Most energy resources are reserved there.43Geothermal resources, wind turbines，and hydropower facilities In Paragraph 4 are cited as examples to illustrate thatA alternative energy production is no less than conventional energy production.B they are the most typical conventional energy resources from public lands.C the amount of alternative energy production from public lands is huge.D geothermal resources are more Important than the other two.44There is a mounting pressure on public lands to satisfy US energy demands becauseA many Americans are unhappy with energy development in foreign countries.B quite a few public lands are banned for energy development.C many Americans think public lands are being abused.D the US is demanding more and more energy.45Public lands can be used for energy development whenA they go through the land use planning process.B energy development restrictions are effective.C federal land managers grant permissions.D there is enough federal budget.。

Better Solar Energy Systems: More Heat, More Light Solar photovoltaic thermal energy systems, or PVTs, generate both heat and electricity, but until now they haven’t been very good at the heat-generating part compared to a stand-alone solar thermal collector. That’s because they operate at low temperatures to cool crystalline silicon solar cells, which lets the silicon generate more electricity but isn’t a very efficient way to gather heat.That’s a problem of economics . Good solar hot-water systems can harvest much more energy than a solar-electric system at a substantially lower cost. And it，s also a space problem：photovoltaic cells can take up all the space on the roof, leaving little room for thermal applications.In a pair of studies, Joshua Pearce, an associate professor of materials science and engineering, has devised a solution in the form of a better PVT made with a different kind of silicon. His research collaborators are Kunal Girotra from ThinSilicon in California and Michael Pathak and Stephen Harrison from Queen’s University, Canada."Most solar panels are made with crystalline silicon，but you can also make solar cells out of amorphous silicon, commonly known as thin-film silicon. They don’t create as much electricity, but they are lighter, flexible, and cheaper. And, because they require much less silicon, they have a greener footprint. Unfortunately，thin-film silicon solar cells are vulnerable to some bad-news physics in the form of the Staebler-Wronski effect.“That means that their efficiency drops when you expose them to light — pretty much the worst possible effect for a solar cell,” Pearce explains，which is one of the reasons thin- film solar panels make up only a small fraction of the market.However, Pearce and his team found a way to engineer around the Staebler-Wronski effect by incorporating thin-film silicon in a new type of PVT. You don’t have to cool down thin-film silicon to make it work. In fact，Pearce’s group discovered that by heating it to solar-thermal operating temperatures，near the boiling point of water, they could make thicker cells that largely overcame the Staebler-Wronski effect. When they applied the thin-film silicon directly to a solar thermal energy collector , they also found that by baking the cell once a day，they boosted the solar cell’s electrical efficiency by over 10 percent.参考译文更有效的太阳能系统：更多热量，更强灯光太阳能光伏热能系统，也叫PVT，能够生成热量和电能。

阅读理解【参考答案】36. A37. B38. D39. B40. CLaughterThere is an old saying in English："Laughter is the best medicine". Until recently，few people took the saying very seriously. Now，however，doctors have begun to investigate laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found evidence that laughter really can improve people's health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films，while doctors checked their heart rate，blood pressure，breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure，the heart rate and the rate of breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face，the stomach，and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body，it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be capable of reducing the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group which tolerated the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce endorphins (内啡肽) in the brain. These are natural chemicals which diminish both stress and pain.There is also some evidence to suggest that laughter helps the body's immune system，that is，the system which fights infection. In an experiment，one group of students watched a funny video while another group served as the control group - in other words，a group with which to compare the first group. Doctors checked the blood of the students in both groups and found that the people in the group that watched the video had an increase in the activity of their white blood cells，that is，the cells which fight infection.As a result of these discoveries，some doctors and psychiatrists (精神病学) in the United States now hold laughter clinics，in which they try to improve their patients' condition by y encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing，making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.36 We learn from the first paragraph that laughterA is good for one's health.B is related to some illness.C has been investigated long since.D has no effect on the body.37 Doctors have found that laughterA keeps down blood pressure.B has similar effects to physical exercise.C decreases the heart rate.D increases stress.38 Which of the following statements is NOT true of laughter，according to the passage?A It reduces pain，B It exercises the body.C it improves the body's immune system.D It can cure cancer.39 In a laughter clinic，doctorsA laugh at their patients.B encourage their patients to laugh.C smile when they don't feel like laughing.D never stop laughing.40 The writer's attitude towards laughter isA critical.B doubtful.C positive.D negative.【参考答案】1.

The Institute of Physics set out to find out whether the stereotype of a physics 'boffin' (科学家)still exists by conducting a survey on shoppers in London. The people were asked to identify the physicist from a photograph of a line-up of possible suspects. 98 percent of those asked got it wrong. The majority of people picked a white male of around 60，wearing glasses and with a white beard.While this stereotype may have been the image of an average physicist fifty years ago，the reality is now very different. Since 1960 the number of young women entering physics has doubled and the average age of a physicist is now 31.The stereotype of the absent-minded scientist has lasted a long time because the media and Hollywood help promote the image of men in white lab coats with glasses sitting by blackboards full of equations(等式)or working with fizzing (嘶嘶响)test tubes. These stereotypes are really damaging to society. V ery good school children are put off studying science because they don't see people like themselves on television or in magazines doing science. They simply don't relate to the media's image of the mad scientist.This is one reason why fewer young people are choosing to do science at university. If we want to encourage more young people to study science subjects，we need to change this image of the scientist and make science careers more attractive. But we must also develop children's interest in science.In an attempt to change this negative image，an increasing number of science festivals are being organized. Thousands of people from secondary schools are also encouraged to take part in nationwide science competitions of which the most popular are the national science Olympiads. Winning national teams then get the opportunity to take part in the International Science Olympiads which are held in a different country every year. These events are all interesting for the young people who take part but they only involve a small proportion of students who are already interested in science. It seems that there is a long way to go before science becomes attractive as subjects like computer studies or fashion and design.1 Most people have similar ideas of what a physicist looks like.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned2 The majority of physicists in Britain today are Cambridge graduatesA RightB WrongC Not mentioned3 The media and the cinema have played a role in promoting the image of the mad scientist.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned4 There will be more women scientists than men scientists in. the futureA RightB WrongC Not mentioned5 More children will study science if it becomes more attractive.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned6 The image of the mad scientist is really encouraging to society.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned7 The International Science Olympiads are held once every two years.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned概括大意【参考答案】1.

Being locked in a small room called a 'calorimeter' (热量测量室) is one way to find out.1 The signs above the two rooms read simply 'Chamber One' and 'Chamber Two'. These are the calorimeters：4m by 2m white-walled rooms where human volunteers are locked up in the name of science. Outside these rooms another sign reads 'Please do not enter- work in progress' and in front of the rooms advanced machinery registers every move the volunteers make. Each day，meals measured to the last gram are passed through a hole in the wall of the calorimeter to the resident volunteer.2 Nicola Waiters is one of twenty volunteers who，over the past eight months，have spent varying periods inside the calorimeter. Tall and slim，Nicola does not have a weight problem，but thought the strict diet might help with her training and fitness programme. A self-employed community dance worker，she was able to fit the experiment in around her work. She saw an advert for volunteers at her local gym and as she is interested in the whole area of diet and exercise，she thought she would help out.3 The experiment on Nicola involved her spending one day on a fixed diet at home and the next in the room. This sequence was repeated four times over six weeks. She arrived at the calorimeter at 8：30 am on each of the four mornings and from then on everything she ate or drank was carefully measured. Her every move was noted too，her daily exercise routine timed to the last second. At regular intervals，after eating，she filled in forms about how hungry she felt and samples were taken for analysis.4 The scientists help volunteers impose a kind of order on the long days they face in the room. 'The first time，I only took one video and a book，but it was OK because I watched 'TV the rest of the time，' says Nicola. And twice a day she used the exercise bike. She pedaled (踩踏板) for half an hour，watched by researchers to make sure she didn't go too fast.5 It seems that some foods encourage you to eat more，while others satisfy you quickly. V olunteers are already showing that high-fat diets are less likely to make you feel full. Believing that they may now know what encourages people to overeat，the researchers are about to start testing a high-protein weight-loss diet. V olunteers are required and Nicola has signed up for further sessions.1 Paragraph 1.2 Paragraph 2.3 Paragraph 3.4 Paragraph 4.A What does the calorimeter look like inside?B What program was designed for the experiment?C What is a calorimeter?D What is the first impression?E How do the volunteers kill the time?F Why did Nicola join in the experiments?5 The machinery outside the calorimeters records everything.6 Nicola Waiters had time for the experiments.7 V olunteers have to get prepared for the time in the calorimeter.8 The experiments show that high-fat diets.A the volunteers doB because she does not have a weight problemC because the life there can be very boringD make people overeatE because she was her own bossF after passing a high-protein test参考答案：1.

But, as we all know, this is a fairly blunt(生硬的)method of decision making. As life expectancy(预期寿命)increases, retirement planning needs to be changed. This is because being an old man today is very different from what it was a generation or so ago.2 Sixty-five is the new middle-aged man. These days people are talking about the young-old, that is ages 70-75, and those over 75 as the old-old. The young-old frequently continue in good health and maintain strong links with friends and family. The old-old have a much higher chance of poor health and social isolation.3 Although men are living longer, there are still more old women than old men. This fact alone should arouse interest as to why. Relatively little is actually known about why this is the case or about the experiences of the old man. Sure, we are aware that the old man experiences anxiety, financial problems, loneliness, etc., but that's really about all we know.4 It is usually believed that the old man often complains about their health. In fact, most rate their health as good even though most are diagnosed with at least one chronic illness. The physical health of the old man is strongly affected by their health behavior when they were younger.1 Paragraph 1__________.2 Paragraph 2__________.3 Paragraph 3__________.4 Paragraph 4__________.A New definitions of the old manB Changing concept of the old manC Health of the old manD Happy old man and sad old manE Limited knowledge of the old man's experiencesF Contempt for the old man5 Nowadays men generally live longer than__________.6 A man in his mid-60s is now regarded as__________.7 More research should be done on the experiences of__________.8 Most old men consider themselves to be___________.A in good healthB in the pastC in the wrongD the old manE a middle-aged manF a young man参考答案：23.D24.E25.A26.F27.C28.E29.A30.B“I am going to give you five techniques that will enable you to remember anything you need to know at school,”promised lecturer lan Robinson to a hundred schoolchildren.He slapped his hand down on the table.“When I’ve finished in two hours’ time,your work will be far more effective and productive.Anyone not interested,leave now.”The entire room sat still. 2Robinson calls himself the Mind Magic ian (魔术师).He specializes in doing magic tricks that look totally impossible,and then he reveals that they involve nothing more mysterious than good old-fashioned trickery (骗术).“I have always been interested in tricks involving memory-being able to reel off(一口气说出) the order of cards in a pack,that sort of thing,”he explains. 3Robinson was already lecturing to schools on his magic techniques when it struck him that students might find memory techniques even more valuable.“It wasn’t difficult area to move inot,as the stuff’s all there in books.”So he summarized everything to make a two-hour lecture about five techniques. 4“Y ou want to learn a list of a hundred things?A thousand?No problem,”says Robinson.The scandal is that every child is not taught the techniques from the beginning of their school life.The schoolchildren who were watching him thought it was brilliant.“I wish I’d been told this earlier,”commented Mark,after Robinson had shown them how to construct“mental journeys”. 5Essentially,you visualize (想象) a walk down a street,or a trip round a room,and pick the points where you will put the things you want to remember-the lamppost,the fruit bowl.Then in each location you put a visual representation of your list-phrasal verbs,historical dates,whatever-making them as strange as possible.It is that simple,and it works. 6The reaction of schools has been uniformly enthusiastic.“The pupils benefited enormously from lan’s presentation,”says Dr Johnston,head of the school where Robinson was speaking.“ldeally we should runn a regular class in memory techni ques so pupils can pick it up gradually.”23.Paragraph 2 _________.24.Paragraph 3 _________.25.Paragraph 4 _________.26.Paragraph 5 _________.A.Good resultsB.An ancient skillC.Gaining attentionD.Memory tricksE.A lecture on memory techniquesF.Ways to improve memory27.The memory techniques used are no more complex than the old ____.28.Robinson taught children to use“mental journeys”to improve ____.29.Robinson told the pupils that all the memory techniques could be found in ____.30.Th e schoolchildren got a lot from the magician’s ____.A.booksB.lectureC.tricksD.factsE.memoryF.list。
