    Flying over a desert in an airplane, two scientists looked down with trained eyes at trees and bushes．After an hour’s flight, one of the scientists wrote in his notebook, "Look here for probable metal." Walking across hilly ground, four scientists reported, "This ground should be searched for metals." From an airplane over a hilly wasteland a scientist sent back by radio one word "Uranium".
    None of the scientists had X-ray eyes: they had no magic powers for looking down below the earth’s surface．They were merely putting to use one of the newest methods of locating minerals in the ground -- using trees and plants as signs that certain minerals may lie under the ground on which the trees and plants are growing.
    This newest method of searching for minerals is based on the fact that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of bushes and trees that grow on the surface.
    At Watson Bar Creek, a mineral search group gathered bags of tree seeds．Boxes were filled with small branches from the trees．Roots were dug and put into boxes．Each bag and box was carefully marked．In a scientific laboratory the parts of the forest trees were burned to ashes and tested．Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals in it.
    Study of the roots, branches and seeds showed no silver．But there were small amounts of gold in the roots and a little less gold in the branches and seeds．The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunk had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches.
    If the trees indicated that there was no gold in the ground, the scientists wouldn’t spare money to pay for digging into the ground.
    小题1:Scientists were flying over a desert or a hilly wasteland or a mountain region to _____.
    A．train their eyesB．study the trees
    C．look for goldD．search for minerals
    小题2:The study of trees, branches and roots indicated that ______.
    A．there were larger amounts of gold in the branches far from the tree trunk than in the seeds
    B．there were smaller amounts of gold in the tree roots deep in the ground than in the branches
    C．there were larger amounts of gold in the seeds growing closer to the tree trunk than in the seeds farther from it
    D．there were larger amounts of gold in the branches than in the leaves on the ends of the branches
    小题3:Which of the following is NOT mentioned as part of a tree that can help the searchers?
    A．leavesB．rootsC．branchesD．seeds
    小题4:Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?
    A．Scientists searching for treasure with special equipment.
    B．New methods of doing geological study.
    C．Gold could be found in trees and plants.
    D．A new method of searching for minerals.

    We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects (缺陷) that can never be changed. “I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things   31 !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe   32 .
    These comments may come from stories about us that have been   33  for years—often from   34  childhood. These stories may have no   35  in fact. But they can set low expectations for us.

I was never   37  to work on cars or be around   38 . When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!
    Six years later,   39 , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do. On the positive side, I   40  down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the   41  side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”
    Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life   42  and told him about my   43  performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “  44  is it that you can solve   45  mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”

    LONDON: What could possibly be wrong with planting trees? The benefits are obvious; they  firm the soil, soak up (摄取) extra water and take carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) out of the atmosphere.
    However, it now turns out that planting trees could add to global warming.
    Tree roots do a great job of keeping soil firmly on the ground and out of the wind’s power. The problem is that some of those dust clouds play an important part in taking in carbon dioxide.
    Huge dust storms blow out over the oceans from dry parts of North Africa and central Asia. Tons of dust are lifted and left as a thin film over the ocean surface. The dust fuels oceanic life.
    Dust from China is carried east and left in the Pacific Ocean. If a tree-planting programme there is successful and the dust supply reduced, the final result may be that less carbon dioxide gets locked away in the ocean.
    Andy Ridgwell, an environmental scientist from the University of East Anglia, has spent the past few years studying dust and says his work “shows clearly the complexity of the system and the importance of not tinkering(粗劣地修补) with it without understanding the results. For this reason the need is to focus(集中) on cutting carbon dioxide giving off rather than monkeying (瞎弄) about with the land surface.”
    An American scientist, Robert Jackson, has shown that when native grassland areas are invaded(侵入) by trees, carbon is lost from the soil. “We are studying why the soil carbon disappears, but one theory is that trees do a lot more of their growing above ground compared to grasses, so less carbon goes directly into the soil from trees, ” says Jackson.
    In wet areas of the world, the gain from trees absorbing carbon dioxide above ground seems to be outweighed(超过) by the loss of carbon from the soil below ground. Countries that plan to combat global warming by planting trees may have to think again.
    Solutions to environmental problems are often more complex than they first appear, and understanding the Earth’s climate is a very great challenge.
    小题1:People usually hold the opinion that_____________.
    A．huge dust storms can destroy carbon dioxide
    B．huge dust storms can destroy the oceans on the earth
    C．huge dust storms can’t do anything beneficial for man
    D．planting trees is the only way to control huge dust storms
    小题2: Andy Ridgwell, the environmental scientist, believes that_____________.
    A．dust plays a more important part than trees
    B．trees shouldn’t have been planted in dry places
    C．carbon dioxide is harmful to everything on the earth
    D．environmental problems are more complex than expected
    小题3: Robert Jackson’s experiment proves that_____________.
    A．grassland areas should be covered by forests
    B．trees hold more carbon than grasses
    C．carbon can turn grass into dust
    D．less carbon can make trees grow faster

    People live in different parts of the world and lead different types of lives. Their lifestyles change across the different areas in the world. What is the difference between a city and country life? Let us see.
    We can see the modern facilities everywhere in the city like the Internet, telephone, television and satellite communication facilities are widely available in the city. A majority of families in the city are enjoying this technological advancement.
    The increasing population has led to an imbalance in human population. More and more industries have led to environmental problems like pollution.
    However, the rise in economic growth has resulted in a self-centered nature of society. While technological advancement has brought the world closer, human beings have gone far apart from each other.
    The country is not crowded with constructions all over. Houses are rather widely spaced with enough room for fields and gardens. The country is the only area fortunate enough to house the greens. People in the country live in close to nature. Apart from people, there is room for pets and animals that help keep a balance in nature.
    Due to a lesser number of people in the country, it is not overcrowded by people. These areas have least amounts of pollution. Pollution is less also because of very less number of industries in the country. The life may not be as enjoyable as that in the city, but the people there are generous, kind and friendly. The country is the one where humanity(人性) is still alive.
    Every coin has two sides to it. While we can’t enjoy expensive things and technology in the country, it is rich in its relationship with ‘nature’. The city life is modern in technology and career opportunities. However, the falling humanity and a bad environmental balance affect the bright future of city life.
    小题1:What’s the main purpose of the passage? _________.
    A．To persuade more people to live in the country.
    B．To inform us of some information about a better life.
    C．To tell us differences between city life and country life.
    D．To explain why people don’t want to live in the city.
    小题2:Which of the following shows the right structure of the passage? __________.
    ①                   ①                                       ①
    A．②③④⑤⑥B．②③④⑤⑥⑦C．①②③④⑤⑥D．④⑤⑥②③
    ⑦                                           ⑦                ⑦
    小题3: According to the passage, the main reason for pollution is ____________.
    A．technology and economyB．population and industries
    C．population and humanityD．industries and balance.
    小题4:The underlined word in the fifth paragraph most probably refers to ___________.
    A．green gasB．green buildingsC．green landsD．green animals
    小题5:It can be inferred from the last paragraph that __________
    A．it’s up to you whether to choose city life or country life.
    B．both city life and country life have advantages and disadvantages.
    C．more and more people will move to the country in the future.
    D．the young prefer city life while the old choose country life.

    When you’re surfing the Internet on your laptop from your dorm or home, do you know your personal details are being gathered secretly? And would you be surprised to know the information may be sold cheaply to advertisers and marketers?
    According to an investigation by The Wall Street Journal, all it takes is a tiny file in a computer-a single code consisting of a long series of numbers and letters- to record the computer user’s age, gender, location, favorite movies and hobbies.
    The newspaper reports that Lotame Solutions Inc., a New York company, uses sophisticated(高科技) software called a "beacon" to capture what people are typing on a website.
    Lotame packages that data into profiles（个人资料）about individuals, only without their names, and sells the profiles to companies seeking customers．Batches of such data may be sold for a few dollars.
    The Wall Street Journal survey discovered that spying on Internet users is one of the fastest-growing businesses on the World Wide Web.
    The "cookie"- a tiny text file put on your PC by websites or marketing firms which might be used to remember your preferences for one site, or to track you across many sites is already old news．There are new and more complex tools such as "beacons" which scan in real time what people are doing on a webpage．These beacons instantly assess the Internet user’s location, income, shopping interests and even medical conditions.
    Millions of Internet users around the world also face unprecedented（空前的）threats．Private, sensitive, personal and business information is being gathered and sold without their knowledge.
    Companies insist the information they gather is anonymous and the data is used harmlessly. But the technology has grown so powerful that even some of the biggest websites in the US don’t know that they were installing intrusive files on visitors’ computers．These include MSN.com and Yahoo.com.
    Next time you visit a webpage and find an ad banner advertising something you’ve been planning to buy, don’t be amazed that your computer can read your mind.
    小题1:The purpose of the passage is to          .
    A．introduce a tiny file in a computer-a single code
    B．show how your individual information was let out when you surf the Internet
    C．show how to protect your privacy
    D．introduce a sophisticated software called a "beacon"
    小题2:．All of the following statements are Wrong except          .
    A．Lotame sells the profiles about individuals to companies seeking customers with their age, gender, location, hobbies and names
    B．spying on Internet users is the fastest-growing businesses on the World Wide Web
    C．some of the biggest websites in the US know they were installing intrusive files on visitors’ computers
    D．a tiny file in a computer-a single code consisting of a long series of numbers and letters can record users’ information
    小题3:It can be inferred that          .
    A．because the data is used harmlessly．Internet users around the world will not face threats
    B．when a person surf the Internet, his personal details may be let out without his knowledge
    C．your computer can really read your mind
    D．MSN.com and Yahoo.com．use software to capture what people are typing on a website
    小题4:According to the passage, “beacon”          .
    A．is a tiny text file put on your PC by websites
    B．is a soft ware that can package that data into profiles about individuals
    C．can assess the Internet user’s location, income, shopping interests and even medical conditions
    D．is not more complex than the "cookie"

    What can help you make a fortune in the future? Graduating from a top university might not be enough. A new study from the University of Essex in Britain has shown that the more friends you have in school, the more money you’ll earn later.
    The idea that popularity could have a serious impact on one’s earning potential shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise. The researchers noted that if you want to get ahead in life, social skills and networking are easily as powerful as talent and hard work.
    “If a person has lots of friends, it means that he or she has the ability to get along with others in all kinds of different situations,” said Xu Yanchun, 17, from Nantou High School in Shenzhen, who totally agreed with the recent finding. “Also, friends always help each other. They not only create wider social circles for you but lift your mood when you occasionally feel depressed,” said Xu. She believed that all this helps you “earn a higher salary”.
    Maybe that’s why some people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendalholism(交友狂症). A woman even complained that the networking website Facebook’s 5,000-friend limit was too low for her large reserve of social contacts.
    But what does a friend mean? Should friends be regarded as a form of currency?
    “Call me uncool, but I think of a friend as an actual person with whom I have an actual history and whom I enjoy actually seeing. It seems, however, that this is no longer the definition of ‘friend’,” said Meghan Daum, who works with the Los Angeles Times in the US.
    小题1:The new study from the University of Essex in Britain shows that _______.
    A．if you have more friends you will not live happily
    B．the more friends you have in school, the more money you’ll earn in your late life
    C．the less friends you have, the poor lives you will live
    D．friends can make more money for you
    小题2:According to Xu Yanchun, when you have lots of friends, it means________.
    A．you have the ability to earn more money
    B．you will not feel lonely
    C．you are quite content with your life
    D．you have the ability to get along with others in various situations
    小题3:What’s the main idea of the passage?
    A．The passage mainly tells us something about the friendship.
    B．Friendship plays a more important part in our daily life than anything else.
    C．Friends are currency.
    D．Friends give you success.
    小题4:We can learn from the passage that _______.
    A．if you have more friends, you can make a fortune in the future
    B．graduating from college means that you can make a fortune in the future
    C．friends mean a form of currency
    D．friends can make you wider social circle and make you feel better when you feel depressed

    Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.
    It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.www.examda.com
    Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays.
    This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.
    小题1:Which of these sentences best describes the writer's point in Paragraph 1?
    A．To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.
    B．Intelligence is developed by the environment.
    C．Some people are born clever and others born stupid.
    D．Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.
    小题2: It is suggested in this passage that_______.
    A．unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligence
    B．close relations usually have similar intelligence
    C．the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligence
    D．people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence
    小题3:Brothers and sisters are likely to_______.
    A．have similar intelligence B．have different intelligence
    C．go to the same university D．go to the same factory
    小题4:The best title for this article would be_______.
    A．On Intelligence　B．What Intelligence Means
    C．We Are Born with IntelligenceD．Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence

    After a very busy afternoon, as I walked into my house, I heard the phone ringing. It was my friend Lydia, upset over an argument with her husband. My usual approach is to offer advice, but this time, extremely tired from chores, I simply pulled off my coat, sat down in a chair and listened to my friend's frustration and sadness. Without the disturbance of judgment or the desire to comfort her, I stayed totally quiet while she talked. Eventually Lydia's depression eased and we said our goodbyes. The next day she phoned to thank me. "I'm so grateful for the way you helped me through this," she said.
    At first I was surprised. After all, I had done nothing except be there for her. But after I had my own venting(发泄的) experience with another friend later that evening, I realized that my focused silence had some value. In fact, most relationship experts agree that talk is cheap; it's listening that's rare and valuable. It allows you not only to hear what the other person is saying, but also to have a clear understanding of her thoughts and feelings. And for the speaker, that level of understanding translates into concern and respect.
    Unfortunately, listening isn't as easy as it sounds. Thanks to schedules filled with family and work, multitasking has become the barrier(障碍) to listening. My tiredness may have been the only thing stopping me from folding laundry or checking my e-mail while Lydia talked that afternoon.
    Another barrier to listening is our listening system: Most of us take in only about half of what's being said during a conversation, according to the International Listening Association. Research shows that we speak at 125 to 150 words per minute, yet think at 500 words a minute. Therefore, because we think much more quickly than we speak, it is easy for us to lose our concentration when listening to speakers.
    While it can be hard to focus at times, it's a skill worth developing. With a little practice — employing some techniques— you can become a better listener.
    小题1: In Paragraph 2, the author mainly talks about ____.
    A．the importance of listeningB．the importance of venting anger
    C．her own listening experienceD．her own venting experience
    小题2:The author uses the result of the research in Paragraph 4 to mainly show that ____.
    A．we think much more quickly than we speak
    B．we can only understand about half of what we hear
    C．there is not much thinking time available while we are listening
    D．we lose our concentration easily while we are listening
    小题3: What will be discussed following the passage?
    A．Why listening is valuable.B．What we should do while listening
    C．How to become a good listenerD．How to stop drifting off while listening.
