26、   Space is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors(流星), but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on the earth. Light gets through, and this is necessary for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment suitable to live. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.

Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called “rem”. Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed(畸形的) children or even grandchildren. Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation and, during the outward and return journeys, the Apollo crew accumulated a large amount of rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.

【1】According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is necessary to man because of the following reason EXCEPT________

A.protecting him against the harmful rays from space B.providing sufficient light for plant growth

C.suppling the heat necessary for human survival D.screening off the falling meteors

【2】We learn from the passage that ________

A.exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatal

B.the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in coming

C.radiation is avoidable in space exploration

D.astronauts in spacesuits needn’t worry about radiation damage

【3】The harm radiation that has been done to the Apollo crew members ________

A.is insignificant B.is enormous C.seems overestimated D.remains unknown

【4】It can be inferred from the passage that________

A.the Apollo mission was very successful

B.the protection from space radiation is no easy job

C.astronauts may possibly have deformed children or grandchildren

D.radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers

【5】Which of the following is TRUE?

A.Space is dangerous only because of meteors.

B.Explorers in space have to avoid the damage from radiation

C.We have got effective ways to treat illnesses caused by radiation.

D.The atmosphere doesn’t screen off radiation

27、   On Nov. 24, near Yellowstone's northeast entrance, Spitfire, a female grey wolf, was shot and killed by a hunter as she approached a group of cottages.

"It was a legal harvest," Abby Nelson, a wolf management specialist said. "The facts are obviously a little bit harder for people to bear, but that pack has showed signs of habituation. They just stand there and have no fear. Wolf hunters can easily pick the one they want."

The carefree relation that some Yellowstone wolves have built with humans is reportedly attractive for hunters who look for an easy kill.

In the overnight, yet another famous Yellowstone wolf met a violent end outside the park, officials are actively rethinking how to manage wildlife habituation.

Smith, a wolf biologist for Yellowstone, says, "Now we're thinking of pounding them," Park officials might use fireworks, and paintball or beanbag guns when they approach humans in the park. "If you get close to people, you're going to get attacked."

If you think this sounds cruel, you're not alone. Seeing these creatures from the roads that wind through the park not only allows tourists to witness something amazing, but also to reconnect with nature in a way that is better than any conservation campaign. But there's a growing sense that the present policy of doing nothing isn't working; more wolves will unnecessarily die and the broken record of hunters scoring easy kills will go on.

As Smith adds, urging people to keep wolves wild when meeting them halfway is a big ask. Still, he's hopeful to preserve the world's best place to observe free-ranging wolves; it's a policy change that tourists can be involved in.

"... perhaps Spitfire's death will accomplish some good, and we'll all come together to do a better job on managing crowds and roads and wolves in Yellowstone, " Smith said.

【1】What was the main reason for the death of Spitfire?

A. Wildlife habituation. B. Park officials' carelessness.

C. The nature of grey wolves. D. The cruelty of the hunter.

【2】What does the underlined word "pounding" in paragraph 5 probably mean?

A. greeting. B. protecting.

C. challenging. D. hitting.

【3】What does Smith expect visitors to do in Yellowstone?

A. Be more friendly to wolves. B. Avoid meeting grey wolves.

C. Keep away from wolves. D. Force wolves away

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A. The wolves in Yellowstone are out of control.

B. Illegal wolf-hunting in Yellowstone is going on.

C. Yellowstone considers "attacking" wolves to protect them.

D. The wolves in Yellowstone are living in harmony with humans.

28、   Most of us are taught to pay attention to what is said—the words.Words do provide us with some information,but meanings are derived from so many other sources that it wouldhinder (阻碍)our effectiveness as a partner to a relationship to rely too heavily on words alone.Words are used to describe only a small part of the many ideas we associate with any given message.Sometimes we can gain insight into some of those associations if we listen for more than words.

We don't always say what we mean or mean what we say.Sometimes our words don't mean anything except“I'm letting off some steam, so don't take it seriously.I don't really want you to pay close attention to what I'm saying.Just pay attention to what I'm feeling.”Mostly we mean several things at once.A person wanting to purchase a house says to the current owner,“This step has to be fixed before I'll buy.”The owner says,“It's been like that for years.”Actually,the step hasn't been like that for years,but the unspoken message is:“I don't want to fix it.We put up with it.Why can't you？"The search for a more expansive view of meaning can be developed of examining a message in terms of who said it,when it occurred,the related conditions or situation,and how it was said.

When a message occurs can also reveal associated meaning. Let us assume two couples do exactly the same amount of kissing and arguing.But one couple always kisses after an argument and the other couple always argues after a kiss.The ordering of the behaviors may mean a great deal more than the frequency of the behavior.

We would do well to listen for how messages are presented.The words,“If sure has been nice to have you over,"can be said with emphasis and excitement or ritualistically(例行公事地).The phrase can be said once or repeated several times.And the meanings we associate with the phrase will change accordingly. Sometimes if we say something infrequently it assumes more importance; sometimes the more we say something the less importance it assumes.

【1】What does the passage mainly tell us?

A. Words provide listeners with the most important information.

B. Listeners can gain insight if they listen for words carefully.

C. The comprehension of a message is influenced by a few factors.

D. When messages are presented is of great importance.

【2】What does the underlined sentence“I'm letting off some steam”in Para.2 probably mean?

A. I'm just kidding. B. I'm just calling your attention.

C. I'm saying the opposite. D. I'm giving some important information.

【3】Why shouldn't people rely too much on words alone?

A. Words are used to describe a big part of the many ideas.

B. Words always successfully represent what we say.

C. Listeners may not develop healthy relationships.

D. Listeners will fail to understand the unspoken language.

【4】How does the author develop Para.3?

A. By raising questions. B. By listing data.

C. By giving examples. D. By analyzing causes and effects.

29、Many countries have traditional dishes, made with special ingredients and prepared in a certain way. 【1】, and when tourists visit, these are the foods they want to try. But why are some foods more popular than others in certain areas?

Traditional ingredients

Typical recipes (菜谱) are usually made with native plant and animal products. For example, Korean dishes often include rice and soybeans because both plants are native to East Asia and grow well in hot, wet areas. In contrast, wheat grows well in drier areas, like the Middle East, where bread is a common staple food.【2】, whereas inland cuisines tend to use more meat from farm animals.

Food preservation

Local cuisines often depend on how people traditionally prepared food for storage. In warm weather, meat and fish can go off quickly, so they must be cooked right away or preserved for later. 【3】, for that reason, modern Norwegian cuisine includes many smoked foods.

Cooking techniques

【4】. In China, people often fry food in a deep metal pan or steam it in a basket over hot water. In Morocco, people cook traditional dishes in a special pot called a tajine. And some local dishes aren’t cooked at all.

Imported (进口的) ingredients

Sometimes local cuisines include ingredients that originally came from another place. 【5】, while many Russian dishes are made with potatoes. However, all of these ingredients were brought to Europe from South America in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. But now they are common around the world.

A．Seafood is often a key ingredient in coastal areas

B．There is a danger that local food traditions will be lost

C．Many different cooking techniques are used around the world

D．For example, Italian dishes often include tomatoes and peppers.

E．These local dishes can become symbols of a place and its culture.

F．Nowadays, we can buy food products from all around the world

G．In Norway, the Vikings used to “cure” meat and fish by smoking them over a fire

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

In Congress, July 4, 1776

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should d【1】 the causes which impel them to the separation.

We h【2】 these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created e【3】, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable R【4】, that among these are life, L【5】, and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, g 【6】 are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the P 【7】 to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, l【8】 its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such f【9】, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariable the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their d 【10】, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

37、Directions: Complete the following sentences by using the proper form of the words or expressions given in the frame. Each one can only be used once.

Why your Password May Not Be As Safe As It Seems?  Does “qaz2ws” strike you as a nice safe password? What about “adgjmptw”? An analysis has found them to be among the passwords that are most 【1】 used, which of course means they are not secure at all.

When ten million passwords were leaked on to the internet，they appeared to 【2】that attempts by internet security experts to make us improve our password strength had been successful, even if, in the specific case of the leaked passwords, they are also completely pointless.

While many of the passwords were still single words, such as “password”，there was also a clear attempt by many to make them harder to【3】. The problem was that people seemed to do so in the same way.

“Users are becoming slightly more 【4】what makes a password strong,” explained WP Engine, an internet company that performed the analysis. “For instance, adding a number or two at the end of a text phrase. That makes it better, right?”

But 【5】no. They found that almost half a million passwords did this and in 20 percent of those all people did was put the number “1” at the end.

Perhaps this is why some companies are now trying to move gradually beyond passwords. Yahoo! is giving users the option to 【6】 their mobile phone with an account, having a single use passwords texted to it each time they want to log on.

Although the serviced is voluntary, Dylan Casey an executive at Yahoo!，said that it was “the first step to【7】passwords”. He said it was a(n)【8】that it was increasingly hard for people to remember all the passwords they had. “I don’t think we, as an industry, have done a good enough job of putting ourselves in the shoes of the people using our products,” he said.

It would certainly be a more sensible strategy than same people’s improving upon “password” by using “password” or，“tran5p053d numb3r5 f0r 133tr3r5”.

39、”阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为120左右。

My fiance(未婚夫）and I were excited about shopping for our first home.But our funds were limited,and none of the houses in our price range seemed satisfactory.

One agent recommended a house in particular..Although her description sounded wonderful,the price was beyond our range,so we declined.But she kept urging us to have a look at least.

We finally did and it was love at first sight:It was Our Home,small and charming, overlooking a quiet lake.Walking through the rooms and talking with the owners,a nice elderly couple,we felt the warmth and happiness of the marriage within that home.As perfect as it was,the price remained too high for us.But every day,we would sit by the lake,  looking at the house and dreaming of what it would be like to live there.

Days later,we made a(n)offer-far below the asking price.Surprisingly,they didn't laugh at us.They renewed their offer instead.It was also much more than we could afford,but far less than the original asking price.

The next day,we got a disappointing message that another buyer had offered a much higher price.Even so,we decided to talk with the owners directly.We made our final offer, which still was thousands of dollars 'less than' the other buyer's bid.We knew it,but we had to try.Nobody knew if we could get it.

Paragraph 1:We went to the owners' home after we made our final offer.The other buyer came to visit the owners too.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:The owner looked at us and said,"I want to sell my house to you!"
