    Diane Arbus is known for creating intense black and white photographs of very unusual people. She used a special camera that produced square shaped images. One art expert said Diane Arbus turned photography inside out. Instead of looking at her subjects, she made them look at her.
    Diane Arbus was born in 1923 to a wealthy family in New York City. After finishing high school at the age of 18, Diane married Allan Arbus. Mr. Arbus worked in the advertising department of her father’s store.
    It was Mr. Arbus who gave Diane her first camera. Diane soon decided to take a class with the famous photographer Berenice Abbott. The Arbuses eventually started taking photographs of clothing. These images were used as advertisements for Diane’s father’s store. After the birth of their daughter, Doon, the Arbuses started a business together. Their purpose was to photograph clothing fashions. Diane Arbus was the stylist. She would prepare the hair and faces of the fashion models who wore the clothing being photographed. Allan Arbus took the pictures.
    The couple soon had jobs from important fashion magazines such as “Vogue” and “Harper’s Bazaar”. Their work was very successful during the 1950s. They became part of a group of artists that were helping to redefine visual culture. They were breaking with past traditions to create a new look for a new decade, the sixties.
    But Diane was not satisfied with her secondary role. She wanted a more active part in making photographs. She wanted to explore her own artistic expression and freedom. To do this, she stopped working with her husband. Then she started taking photography classes at the New School in New York City.
    Arbus’ teacher, Lisette Model, influenced her in many ways. She showed Diane how to use a camera like an expert. She also taught Diane to use her art to face her doubts and fears. Miss Model once said that Diane soon started “not listening to me but suddenly listening to herself.”

    A study published in September suggests there is a surprising way to get people to avoid unhealthy foods: change their memories. Scientist Elizabeth Loftus of the University of California at Irvine asked volunteers to answer some questions on their personalities (个性) and food experiences. “One week later,” Loftus says, “we told those people we'd fed their answers into our smart computer and it came up with an account of their early childhood experiences.” Some accounts included one key additional detail (细节): “You got sick after eating strawberry ice-cream.” The researchers then changed this detail into a manufactured (人为促生的) memory through leading questions—Who were you with? How did you feel? By the end of the study, up to 41% of those given a false memory believed strawberry ice-cream once made them sick, and many said they'd avoid eating it.
    When Loftus published her findings, she started getting calls from people begging her to make them remember hating chocolate or French fries. Unfortunately, it's not that easy. False memories appear to work only for foods you don't eat on a regular basis. But most important, it is likely that false memories can be implanted (灌输) only in people who are unaware of the mental control. And lying to a patient is immoral, even if a doctor believes it's for the patient's benefit.
    Loftus says there's nothing to stop parents from trying it with their overweight children. “I say, wake up—parents have been lying about Father Christmas for years, and nobody seems to mind. If they can prevent diseases caused by fatness and all the other problems that come with that, you might think that's a more moral lie. Decide that for yourself.”
    72. Why did Loftus ask the volunteers to answer some questions?
    A. To improve her computer program.           B. To find out their attitudes towards food.
    C. To find out details she can make use of             D. To predict what food they'll like in the future.
    73. What did Loftus find out from her research?
    A. People believe what the computer tells them.
    B. People can be led to believe in something false.
    C. People tend to forget their childhood experiences.
    D. People are not always aware of their personalities.
    74. According to the study, people may stop having a certain food if they ________.
    A. learn it is harmful for health                          
    B. lie to themselves that they don't want it
    C. are willing to let doctors control their minds
    D. think they once had a bad experience of eating it
    75. What is the biggest concern with the method?
    A. Whether it is moral.                                B. Who it is best for.
    C. When it is effective.                                D. How it should be used.

    It's not the flashiest car in the world. Not even close. But the 1971 Volkswagen named Helioscan do something most cars can't: nm on solar energy – energy from the sun's light and heat!
    Joshua Bechtold, 14, and the other students at the Riverside School in Lyndonville, Vermont, worked many months to get Helios ready for the 1999  American Tour de Sol （"Sol" is the Latin word for "sun"）. They named their car after Helios, the sun god in Greek mythology（神话）.
    The 4-year-old Tour de Sol encourages the use of "green", or environmentally friendly, cars to help reduce pollution and save energy. It’s not a race. Cars are  judged on fuel efficiency（耗油量） rather than speed. In the week-long event, 44 cars took the 350-mile tour from Waterbury, Connecticut, to Lake George, New York. Of the 23 student cars, Helios was the only one built by middle school students.
    A teacher drove Helios, but the children talked with people wherever they stopped along the mad. "That was my favorite part," says Anna Browne, 15. "We explained how the car runs.”
    Due in part to old, inefficient batteries（电池）, Helios finished fourth - out of four - in its kind, the sun-powered class. "We were there for the fun of it," Anna says. "We're proud of Helios," says Ariel Gleicher, 14. "It's a car that's good for the environment."
    64. What is special about the car Helios in the text?       
    A. It was built by middle school students.
    B. It has an attractive design.
    C. It was made in 1971.
    D. It won the fourth prize.
    65. How many sun-powered cars took part in the race?      
    A. 1.       B. 4.     C. 23.    D. 44.
    66. What would be the best title for the text.'?       
    A. The Making of Helios
    B. 1999 American Tour de Sol
    C. Sun-powered Cars on the Road
    D. Use of Green Cars in Connecticut
    67. The students felt proud of Helios because______.
    A. it could run as far as 350 miles     B. it was favored by many children
    C. it had high-quality batteries         D. it was driven by clean energy

    Annealing
    Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly, if metal is heated and then cooled very quickly, for example by dipping(浸) it in water, it will be very hard but also very brittle(脆)—that is, it will break easily. Metal that has been annealed is soft but does not breaks as easily. It is possible to make metal as hard or as soft as is wished, by annealing it. The metal is heated, and allowed to cool slowly for a certain length of time. The longer the heated metal takes to cool slowly, the softer it becomes. Annealing can also be used on other material, such as glass.
    1. Annealing can make metal ____
    　　A. hard and tough(韧)　B. hard but brittle　　C. soft but tough　　D. soft and brittle
    2. Why do people put hot metal in water?
    　　A. To make it hard.　　B. To make it soft.　C. To make it cool.　D. To make it brittle
    3. In annealing, the required hardness of a metal depends on 　______
    　　A. the quantity of water used　B. the temperature of the metal
    　　C. the softness of the metal　  D. the timing of the operation
    4. As suggested by the text, how can glass be made less brittle?
    　　A. It can be heated and then cooled quickly.
    　　B. It can be cooled and then heated slowly.
    　　C. It can be heated and then cooled slowly.

    Karen,grown up in a very traditional family in the western United States,maintained high moral(道德的) standards throughout her youth.In 1984,at the age of 23,she married Bill.They were blessed with two children,a boy and a girl.
    By 1991 their love had deepened,and they were happy.Later that year,Bill developed a white spot on his tongue.He visited a doctor.
    One day shortly after that,Bill called Karen to sit beside him.He said with tears in his eyes that he loved her and wanted to live forever with her.The doctor suspected that he had been infected with HIV,the virus that leads to AIDS.
    The family was tested,Bill and Karen’s results were positive.Bill had become infected before he met Karen;then he passed the virus on to Karen.The children’s results were negative.Within three years,Bill was dead.“I don’t know how to express what it is like to watch the once handsome man you love and intend to live with forever dying slowly.I cried many nights.He died three months short of ten years of our marriage,”says Karen.Though a doctor told Karen that she would soon follow her husband into death,she is still alive.The infection has progressed to the early stages of AIDS.
    Karen is but one of about 30 million people now living with HIV/AIDS,a figure larger than the combined populations of Australia,Ireland and Paraguay.According to one UN report,Africa has 21 million of these victims.By the turn of the century that number could reach   40  million and the disease will bring on the greatest disaster in human history.Of the world’s sexually active adults aged 15 to 49,1 in 100 has already been infected with HIV.Of these,only 1 in 10 realizes that he or she is infected.In some parts of Africa,25 percent of the adults are infected.
    Since the beginning of the spread of AIDS in 1981,about 11.7 million people have died of it.It is roughly calculated that in 1997 alone,about 2.3 million people died of it.Nevertheless,there are fresh reasons for optimism in the battle against AIDS.During the past few years,there has been a drop in new AIDS cases in wealthy nations.In addition,promising drugs hold out hope of better health and longer life.

    A rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below l6℃. Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. Without the forest cover，these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere，warming the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns，potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.
    In the past hundred years，humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources（资源）：land for crops，wood for paper and other products，land for raising farm animals. This action affects the environment as a whole. For example，a lot of carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.There are two main reasons for this. Firstly，when people cut down trees，generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly，cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now，but in the long run it actually reduces the world’s wood supply.
    Rainforests are often called the world’s drug store. More than 25％ of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However，fewer than l％of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world’s shrinking rainforests.
    小题1:Rainforests can help to adjust the climate because they      
    A．reflect more heat into the atmosphere
    B．bring about high rainfall throughout the world
    C．rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than l6℃
    D．reduce the effect of heat from the sun on the earth
    小题2:What does the word “this” underlined in the third paragraph refer to?
    A．We will lose much more than we can gain.
    B．Humans have begun destroying rainforests.
    C．People have a strong desire for resources.
    D．Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests.
    小题3:It can be inferred from the text that
    A．we can get enough resources without rainforests
    B．there is great medicine potential in rainforests
    C．we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained land
    D．the level of annual rainfall affects wind patterns
    小题4:What might be the best title for the text?
    A．How to Save Rainforests
    B．How to Protect Nature
    C．Rainforests and the Environment
    D．Rainforests and Medical Development

    The HOPE IS A GAME--CHANGER PROJECT will deliver unbreakable soccer balls to kids who, all too often, see things horrible, broken and not survive the simplest of circumstances. The project started taking form well before anyone knew where it would lead –which is to test the power of like-minded people working together to turn inspiration into action.
    Four years ago Bobby was in Rwanda offering help to the people there and taking photos of a child soldier named Moise with his “soccer ball”，which was a pile of rubbish tied together with a string. This “ball” was the only thing Moise could call his own --- no family, no home, no place to go. Forced to fight in the Congo and having killed three people at the unbearably young age of seven, the boy’s spirit was broken. And Bobby knew, as he took one photo after the next, that he’d never forget him. In fact, he returned the following year to tell Moise he had stayed deep within his heart ---but he was gone.
    I recently helped Bobby launch his new book The Power of the Invisible Sun which features a photo of Moise, his ball, and kids from war-torn areas around the world. All of his earnings go towards the HOPE IS A GAME-CHANGER PROJECT for the kids he visited over the past decade. They caught the emotional landscape from heartbreak to joy, but share the undeniable longing for recovery and hope.
    Bobby and I share the unchangeable belief that delivering hope is really a game-changer, especially to a child. We believe that each indestructible ball will come to represent a lasting symbol of hope. A light no matter how small---The Power of the Invisible Sun.
    This holiday season, I ask you to think about whether you are doing enough to help someone else in the world. Or as Bobby likes to put it, consider “taking a concrete baby step”, which added together, can create transformational change. It’s my great hope that the HOPE IS A GAME-CHANGER PROJECT will change the lives of children the world over --- one book, one ball at a time.
    小题1:In the first sentence of the passage, the writer implies that        .
    A．kids live an unsafe life in parts of the world
    B．the balls sent to kids should be of good quality
    C．young kids can not overcome the difficulties
    D．kids intend to break their toys into pieces
    小题2:The purpose of The HOPE IS A GAME-CHANGER PROJECT is to        .
    A．send ball gifts to kids in poor countries
    B．collect money to help kids in need
    C．comfort kids in war-torn areas
    D．offer kids help to change their lives
    小题3:How may Bobby feel about Mosie?
    A．He was very proud of Mosie’s bravery.
    B．He felt sorry for Mosie’s ruined childhood.
    C．He thought money could solve Mosie’s problem.
    D．He felt happy to tell him what was in his heart.
    小题4:Which of the following about Bobby’s new book is TRUE?
    A．It earned a lot of money to help kids like Mosie.
    B．The photos inside reflected the kids’ hopeless life.
    C．Its title shows the author’s belief to change the world.
    D．It changed the life of the kids recorded in the book.
    小题5:The underlined part in the last paragrph probably means        .
    A．starting the first step as a baby does
    B．taking an active action from now on
    C．making great changes step by step
    D．doing some small but good deeds

    Once in a blue moon there is one on New Year's Eve. Revelers ringing in 2010 will be treated to a so-called blue moon. According to popular definition, a blue moon is the second full moon in a month. But don't   1  it to be blue - the name has nothing to   2  the color of our closest celestial（天体） neighbor.
    A full moon   3  on December 2. It will appear again on Thursday in time for the New Year's countdown.
    "If you're in Times Square, you'll see the   4  moon right above you. It's going to be that brilliant," said Jack Horkheimer, director emeritus of the Miami Space Transit Planetarium and host of a weekly astronomy TV show.
    The New Year's Eve blue moon will be   5  in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America and Africa. For partygoers in Australia and Asia, the full moon does not show up  6  New Year's Day, making January a blue moon month for them.
    However, the Eastern Hemisphere can celebrate with a partial lunar eclipse（月蚀） on New Year's Eve when  7  of the moon enters the Earth's shadow. The   8  will not be visible in the Americas.
    A full moon occurs   9  29.5 days, and most years have 12.  10 , an extra full moon in a month - a blue moon - occurs every 2.5 years. The   11  time there was a lunar double take was in May 2007. New Year's Eve blue moons are rarer, occurring every 19 years. The last time was in 1990; the next one won't  12   again until 2028.
    Blue moons have no astronomical   13   , said Greg Laughlin, an astronomer at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
    "`Blue moon' is just a   14  in the same sense as a `hunter's moon' or a `harvest moon,'" Laughlin said in an e-mail.
    The popular definition of blue moon   15  after a writer for Sky & Telescope magazine in 1946 misunderstood the Maine Farmer's Calendar and marked a blue moon as the second full moon in a month. In fact, the calendar   16  a blue moon as the third full moon in a season with four full moons, not the usual three.
    Though Sky & Telescope corrected the  17  decades later, the definition caught on. For purists（语言纯正癖者）, however, this New Year's Eve full moon doesn't even qualify as a   18  moon. It's just the first full moon of the winter season.
    In a tongue-in-cheek essay   19  on the magazine's Web site this week, senior contributing editor Kelly Beatty wrote: "If skies are clear when I'm    20 celebrating, I'll take a peek（眯着眼睛看） at that brilliant orb（天体） as it rises over the Boston skyline to see if it's an icy shade of blue. Or maybe I'll just howl."
