补全短文1 Mobile PhonesMobile phones should carry a label if they proved1 to be a dangerous source of radiation, according to Robert Bell,a scientist. And no more mobile phone transmitter towers should be built until the long-term health effects of Ihe electromagnetic radiation they emit are scientifically evaluated, he said. “Nobody’s going to drop dead overnight2 but we should be asking for more scientific information. ”Robert Bell said at a conference on the health effects of low-level radiation. (1) CA report widely circulated among the public says that up to now scientists do not really know enough to guarantee there are no ill-effects on humans from electromagnetic radiation. According to Robert Bell, there are 3. 3 million mobile phones in Australia alone and they are increasing byJ2,000 a day. (2) BAs well,there are 2,000 transmitter towers around Australia, many in high density residentialareas’. (3) E The electromagnetic radiation emitted from these towers may havealready produced some harmful effects on the health of the residents nearby.Robert Bell suggests that until more research is completed the Government should ban construction of phone towers from within a 500-metre radius of school grounds,child care centres,hospitals, sports playing fields and residential areas with a high percentage of children. (4) A He adds that there is also evidence that if cancer sufferers are subjected toelectromagnetic waves the growth rate of the disease accelerates.(5)D According to Robert Bell, it is reasonable for the major telephone companies to fund it. Besides, he also urges the Government to set up a wide-ranging inquiry into possible health effects.2.The World’s Longest BridgeRumor has it that' a legendary six-headed monster lurks in the deep waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea between Italy and the island of Sicily. (1) C When completed in 2010, the world’s longest bridge will weigh nearly 300,000 tons 一equivalent to the iceberg that sank the Titanic 一and stretch 5 kilometers long. “That’s nearly 50 percent longer than any other bridge ever built. ’says structural engineer Shane Rixon.(2) B They’re suspension bridges, massive structures built to span vast water channels or gorges. A suspension bridge needs just two towers to shoulder the structure’s mammoth weight, thanks to hefty supporting cables slung between the towers and anchored firmly in deep pools of cement at each end of the bridge. The Messina Strait Bridge will have two 54,100-ton towers, which will support most of the bridge’s load. The beefy cables of the bridge, each 1. 2 meter in diameter, will hold up the longest and widest bridge deck ever built.When construction begins on the Messina Strait Bridge in 2005,the first job will be to erect two 370 meter-tall steel towers. (3 ) E Getting these cables up will be something2. It’s not just their length —totally 5. 3 kilometers —but their weight. (4) F After lowering vertical “suspender”cables from the main cables, builders will erect a 60 meter-wide 54,630-ton steel roadway, or deck—wide enough to accommodate 12 lanes of traffic. The deck’s weight will pull down on the cables with a force of 70,500 tons. In return,yank up against their firmly rooted anchors with a force of 139,000 tons —equivalent to of about 100,000 cars. Those anchors are essential. (5) D3. Public RelationsPublic relations is a broad set of planned communications about the company, including publicity releases, designed to promote goodwill and a favorable image1. (1) C Since public relations involves communications with stockholders,financial analysts, government officials, and other noncustomer groups, it is usually placed outside the marketing department, perhaps as a staff department or outside consulting firm reporting to top management. This organizational placement can be a limitation because the public relationsdepartment or consultant will likely not be in tune with2 marketing efforts.(2) F Although the basic purpose of public relations is to provide positive influence on the public image, this influence generally may be less than that provided by the other components of the public ima ge mix.(3)A Publicity on the other hand should not be divorced from the marketing department4, as it can provide a useful adjunct to5 the regular advertising. (4) BThe point we wish to emphasize is that a firm is deluding itself if it thinks its public relations function, whether within the company or an outside firm, can take care of public image problems and opportunities. (5) D Many of these have to do with the way the firm does business7, such as its product quality, the servicing and handling of complaints,and the tenor of the advertising. Public relations and directed publicity may help highlight favorable newsworthy events, and may even succeed in toning down the worst of unfavorable publicity, but the other components of the public image mix create more lasting impressions.4. Heat Is KillerExtremely hot weather is common in many parts of the world. Although hot weather just makes most people feel hot, it can cause serious medical problems 一even death. Floods, storms,volcano eruptions and other natural disasters kill thousands of people every year. (1) E .Experts say heat may be nature’s deadliest killer. Recently, extreme heat was blamed for killing more than one hundred people in India. It is reported that the total heat of a hot day or several dayscan affect health. (2) D. Experts say heat waves often become dangerous when the nighttime temperature does not drop much from the highest daytime temperature. This causes great stress on the human body.(3) F. Stay out of the sun, if possible. Drink lots of cool water. Wear light colored clothing made of natural materials ;avoid wearing synthetic clothing. Make sure the clothing is loose, permitting freedom of movement1. And learn the danger signs of the medical problerns^_such as headache and vomiting, that are linked to heat. (4)C .The pain is a warning that the body is becoming too hot2. Doctors say those suffering headache or muscle pain should^stop all activity and rest in a cool place and drink cool liquids. Do not return to physical activi^1 for a few hours because more serious conditions could develop.Doctors say some people face an increased danger from heat stress.(5) A.Hot weather also increases dangers for people who must take medicine for high blood pressure1, poor blood flow, nervousness or depression.5.Ants as a Barometer of Ecological ChangeAt picnics, ants are pests. But they have their uses. In industries' such as mining, fanning and forestry, they can help gauge the health of the environment by just crawling around and being antsy.It has been recognized for decades2 that ants —which are highly sensitive to ecological change —can provide a near-perfect barometer of the state of an ecosystem. Only certain species,for instance,will continue to thrive at a forest site that has been cleared of trees. ( 1 ) F And still others will move in and take up residence.By looking at which species populate a deforested area, scientists can determine how“stressed”the land is. (2) D Ants are used simply because they are so common and comprise so many species.Where mine sites are being restored,for example, some ant species will recolonize the stripped land more quickly than others. (3) A Australian mining company Capricorn Coal Management has been successfully using ant surveys for years to determine the rate of recovery of land that it is replanting near its German Creek mine in Queensland.Ant surveys also have been used with mine-site recovery projects in Africa and Brazil, where warm climates encourage dense and diverse ant populations. “We found it worked extremely well there. ”says Jonathan Majer, a professor of environmental biology. Yet the surveys are perfectly suited to climates throughout Asia, he says, because ants are so common throughout the region. As Majer puts it:“That’s the great thing about ants' ”Ant surveys are so highly-regarded as ecological indicators that governments worldwide accept their results when assessing the environmental impact of mining and tree harvesting4. (4) BWhy not? Because many companies can’t afford the expense or the laboratory time needed to sift results for a comprehensive survey. The cost stems, also, from the scarcity of ant specialists.(5) C;。

Read With Greater SpeedDo you have difficulty reading in class? If so, a special reading program that helps match sounds with letters could speed up your brain.At least one out of every five elementary school students in the US has trouble learning to read, even when the students are good at other subjects. (1)Researchers from Yale University, US, studied a group of children from New York and Connecticut State. As part of the study, 37 struggling readers received special tutoring.Every day, instructors worked with them on recognizing how written letters represent units of sound called phonemes (音素). (2)By the end of the school year, these children could read faster than before. They also made fewer mistakes, and understood more of what they read than they could earlier in the year.As part of their study, the researchers used a special machine to take action photos of the students' brains.(3) This is the same part of the brain that becomes active when good readers read. This activated brain area appears to include a structure that helps people recognize familiar written words quickly. In lower level readers, this structure remains inactive.A year later, the brain structure was still working hard in the students who had gore through the special tutoring, and they continued to do well in reading tests (4)However, some researchers still doubt the study.(5)A Many adults are interested in matching sounds with lettersB The students also practiced reading aloud and spellingC The biggest challenge for many of these kids, scientists say, is matching sounds with letters.D Another group in the study who went through a more traditional reading program didn't show the same progress.E The pictures showed an increase in activity in the back of the brain on the left side.F They believe that reading without making any noise or linking words to sounds is more efficient.答案:1.

My Life at RendaI learned very quickly that being a teaching assistant (TA) at the University of Iowa would be different from being a teacher at Renmin University. ( 46 ) Eyes staring, mouths open, students examined my big nose, while I was writing my name on the blackboard.At Iowa, when my first classes began, half of my students still hadn't arrived. When everyone finally found a seat, ringing cellphones and loud yawns (哈欠) interrupted my opening remarks. It is not that American students were disrespectful.( 47 ) They were, however, far more skeptical than the students I had at Renda. The truth is I couldn't fault them for their skepticism. Undergraduates at large US universities - especially freshmen and sophomores - often have several classes a semester handled by TAs. In some cases, the TA sets the course content.( 48 ) Most have good intentions, but very few are as effective as professors.Every teacher has to confront obstacles to learning - no matter what the culture. Students who talk during lectures, students who cheat, students whoquestion the grade they get for a paper or project - dealing with these is all part of the job.( 49 )The difference, I think, is that in the US I had to swallow more of my pride.( 50 )I had a responsibility to teach them, of course, but I had to do so indirectly -as a guide who himself had a few things to learn from the students.A、Back at Renda, I had walked into my first classes feeling like a celebrityB、In my students' minds, I had little to offer them, except perhaps some sample questions for the mid-term exam.C、In others, the TA works as a grader and discussion leaderD、I encountered these in China, and I faced them in the US.E、On the other hand, being taught by a graduate student is not necessarily badF、Most were polite, or at least, indifferent.How Did She Conquer the Americans?African-American talk show queen Oprah Winfrey is the world's most powerful celebrity, according to Forbes magazine. (46)Winfrey, 51, draws 30 million viewers weekly in the United States. Her talk show reaches 112 countries. She earned US$225 million over the past 12 months to rank second in celebrity riches.The annual Forbes list gives most weight to annual earnings. (47)"After 21 years, her exciting chat show still rules the airwaves. It created new celebrities and hundreds of millions of dollars in profits," the magazine said.Winfrey is most popular with her popular talk show "The Oprah Winfrey Show". She can always attract the superstars and let them open up to her intimate interviewing style.Last month, American actor T om Cruise, 42, surprised fans when he celebrated his new romance with 26-year-old actress Katie Holmes. He jumped up and down, shouting "I'm in love." Only a few years ago, Cruise and his ex-wife Nicole Kidman appeared separately on the same show telling thenews of their divorce. (48)Winfrey's approach appears to be simple. She is in pursuit of self-improvement and self-empowerment (自强). This has proved to be just what people, especially women, want.Winfrey often talks about her personal secrets on her show. That pulls in viewers. For example, she revealed that she had been sexually abused as a child, and has spoken freely of her struggle with her weight.Winfrey was born to a poor family in Mississippi in 1954(49) At the age of 19, she became the youngest person and the first African-American woman to anchor (主持) a news programme.Her success has not just been on the screen. Her media group includes a women's TV network and websites for women.Winfrey's work has extended to social change.
