    Not long ago the movie 2012 came into screen．The people were threatened by those scenes of destroying flood, severe earthquake, terrifying hurricane and constructions representing human civilization being destroyed and even swallowed by disaster．Luckily, they are just the director' s imagination, but the present situation is not heading a positive direction, either．
    Take my own experience in Alaska as an example．Once I took a trip to the glacier．Along the way there stood signposts marking the snow lines of different years．They started from the foot of the mountain, but it was at the top that I finally saw melting glaciers（融化的冰川）．My heart ached seeing the beautiful blue ice melting at every second．
    Sad but true, they are the effects of global warming and the result of our human impact．Furthermore, each year the rising sea level will kill 56 million people, and that' s about the population of the entire Italy．According to studies, if the temperature keeps on rising like this, by the year 2050, some islands and coastal cities including New York, Shanghai, Tokyo and Sydney will be drowned in water．
    Our fortune is in our own hands．It depends on us to shape our future, to reduce future human impact and find ways to form a peaceful relationship with our environment. Therefore, it's time for actions to be taken right now．Contribute a little to energy saving by using more efficient light bulbs and less hot water．Let recycle become our habit by thinking twice before throwing something away．Let us take public transportation as our first choice when going to a certain place．It might cost more time for now, but it' s to the benefit of a permanent future．Take care of every tree and grass around us by watering them or simply just avoid destroying them．
    In a word, small drops of water make a big ocean． The earth does not belong to us．On the contrary, we belong to the earth． Please bear in mind that the earth is our home．It is our responsibility to build a brighter and better future of our planet and prevent what happened in the movie 2012 from becoming reality．

    For some reason, it takes constant reminders that we primates（灵长目）need nurturing.
    In a recent study of 46 baby chimpanzee（黑猩猩）orphans, Kim Bard of the University of Portsmouth in England and her colleagues demonstrated that primate babies that have tight relationships with mother figures do much better on cognitive（认知）tests than babies who receive only food, shelter, and friendship with peers. But this is not breaking mews. In fact, it’s old news.
    In the 1950s, Harry Harlow conducted a series of experiments with baby monkeys that showed, without doubt, that lack of love and comfort makes for a crazy monkey.
    Harlow constructed a cage that included a wire monkey “mother” topped with a plastic face. In this wire he fixed Mom with a milk bottle. The cage also held another wire mother covered with terry cloth. The baby monkeys spent all their time with the cloth mother and only went to the wire mother to feed, demonstrating that a soft touch beat something to eat any day.
    Harlow’s monkey work was important because, at the time, child care “experts” and everybody’s grandmother had a “no touch, no comfort” policy toward children. They advised parents not to respond to crying babies, felt babies should sleep alone to grow up independent, and for God’s sake put those kids down. But Harlow’s work changed all that. Mothers were soon permitted to have their newborns next to them in the hospital.
    The current chimp research based on Harlow’s work shows that mother love not only makes for a psychologically well-adjusted child, but also makes for a smart kid. Bard and her colleagues evaluated the abilities of the chimps when they were 12 months old with standard human tests for children of that age, tests that ask little kids to imitate some action.
    The highly raised chimps did better than the ones that were not loved, and what do you know, the well-raised chimps did even better than human kids on this small IQ test.
    So we hear it once again. We are primates, social animals which need care and love. We need to be held and talked to and made to feel that at least one person wants to be with us all the time. And if we get that kind of connection, we are sure to be fine, even better than fine.
    小题1:The study Kim Bard and his colleagues did ______.
    A．included 46 baby and mother monkeys
    B．was nothing new to people about the findings
    C．showed that many chimpanzees lacked love when they were young
    D．showed that many chimpanzees had good relationships with their mothers
    小题2:Why was Harlow’s monkey work important?
    A．Because the “no touch, no comfort” policy toward children was quite right.
    B．Because parents were advised not to respond to babies’ crying.
    C．Because Harlow’s work changed people’s former belief in child care.
    D．Because mothers were not allowed to have their newborns next to them in the hospital.
    小题3:Harlow built two “mothers” for baby monkeys to ______.
    A．make them live comfortablyB．let them have more choices
    C．give them more loveD．make a comparison
    小题4:Which of the following is TURE according to the text?
    A．Well-raised chimps always do even better than human kids.
    B．A 12-month chimps is far cleverer than a child of that age.
    C．The newborns were not allowed to be with their mothers in the past in the hospital.
    D．Constantly touching the baby can make it feel safer.

    Eleven top universities are joining the Open University to launch free Internet courses. King’s College London, along with the Universities of Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, East Anglia, Exeter, Lancaster, Leeds, Southampton, St Andrews and Warwick, has partnered with FutureLearn, a company set up by the Open University that will offer free and non-credit bearing courses to Internet-users around the world.
    The courses are modeled on the US phenomenon “Massive open online courses” ( Moocs ), which have attracted millions of users around the world and are especially popular in emerging economies.
    FutureLearn will improve UK institutions for international students, said Prof Martin Bean, voice-chancellor of the Open University. “At the moment, foreign students’ perception of UK Universities is: wonderful history, great tradition, really good teaching, but a bit boring.”
    Leeds University says the partnership will benefit students studying on campus. “Students will have access to a rich set of resources from both Leeds and our partners. They can also broaden their education beyond their main subject areas.”
    The UK higher education industry stands among the top five export earners for Britain Moocs have grown rapidly in the US over the past year, with two providers leading the field. Coursera offers courses from 33 Universities, including Princeton, Brown, Columbia and Duke, and has reached more than 1.7 million users, EdX, a nonprofit start-up from Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology courses this autumn.
    Simon Nelson, one of the key architects of BBC Online, will head FutureLearn as launch CEO. “It’s really meaningful for these universities to come together –we’ll punch much harder collectively than any other university will individually,” he said.
    Partner Institutions will be responsible for their own content while the OU, which has been providing distance-learning courses since 1971, will assist with course delivery and infrastructure. Details of further universities will be revealed next year, as will the courses on offer.

    A special laboratory at the University of Chicago is busy only at night. It is a dream laboratory where researchers are at work studying dreamers. Their findings have discovered that everyone dreams from three to seven times a night, although in ordinary life a person may remember none or only one of his dreams.
    　　While the subjects—usually students—sleep, special machines record their brain waves and eye movements as well as the body movements that signal the end of a dream. Surprisingly, all subjects sleep soundly.
    Observers report that a person usually fidgets(烦躁不安) before a dream. Once the dream has started, his body relaxes and his eyes become more active, as if the curtain had gone up on a show. As soon as the machine shows that the dream is over, a buzzer wakens the sleeper. He sits up, records his dream, and goes back to sleep—perhaps to dream some more.
    Researchers have found that if the dreamer is wakened immediately after his dream, he can usually recall the entire dream. If he is allowed to sleep even five more minutes, his memory of the dream will have disappeared.
    小题1:According to the passage, researchers at the University of Chicago are studying ____.
    A．contents of dreams　B．dreamers while they dream
    C．the meaning of dreamsD．the progress of sleeping
    小题2:Their finding has discovered that _____.
    A．everyone dreams every night
    B．dreams are easily remembered
    C．dreams are likely to be frightening
    D．One person dreams only one dream a night
    小题3:The machines being used in the experiment record _____.
    A．the depth of sleep
    B．the subjects’ brain waves and eye movements
    C．how many dreams a person has
    D．what a sleeper dreams during his sleep
    小题4:A person would be most likely to remember the dream that _____.
    A．was of most interest to him
    B．occurred immediately after he went to sleep
    C．occurred just before he woke up
    D．was the longest one to him

    To me, the ocean is our greatest wilderness. I love swimming in it , surfing its waves, watching it from shore and thinking about all the life living unseen under the surface.
    When I take my little kids to check out tide pools, we’re overjoyed when we find a sea star or some shellfish. Lately, though, I've noticed a change in my favorite pools: there are more sea grasses and fewer animals with shells.
    I can't help feeling these small changes portend something more troubling about our oceans. It matches what scientists are telling us: our oceans are being troubled by carbon dioxide that threatens corals, colorful fish, salmon, sea otters, even whales. Our oceans are facing a major change.
    Every hour, a million tons of carbon dioxide from cars, factories and power plants rain down on the world’s oceans. Carbon pollution brings about a chemical reaction that turns sea water more acidic (酸的) and takes away things important for sea animals .
    Some of us are already feeling the effects of this growing crisis（危机）. Shellfish farmers in the Pacific Northwest have reported a decrease in natural and farmed oysters(牡蛎). Just this week, a new studyproved the link between the huge reduction in the numbers of oysters and ocean acidification. As polar waters become more acidic, Alaskan fishermen are troubled by the future of smaller fish.
    Without action, ocean acidification will have a disastrous influence on the food chain, affecting not only sea life but the people who depend on it for food and their living. Already, our oceans have become 30 percent more acidic since preindustrial times, and it gets worse every day. We can stop this frightening dream, but only if we act now.
    That's why the Center for Biological Diversity has started a petition (请愿书) requesting President Obama and the Environmental Protection Agency to develop a plan to deal with ocean acidification. Decisive action can save sea life as we know it.
    Now it isn’t too late to save our oceans and sea life. With immediate action to reduce carbon dioxide release we can start taking important steps today to deal with this disastrous situation. Join me in our petition calling for a national plan to save our oceans.
    小题1:The author’s recent visits to the tide pool brought her ___ .
    A．happinessB．angerC．concernD．comfort
    小题2:The underlined word “portend” in Paragraph 3 probably means ___ .
    A．predictB．preventC．replaceD．reduce
    小题3:What the author worries about most is ____ .
    A．the harm of sea grasses
    B．carbon pollution in the sea
    C．that the petition may be turned down
    D．how fishermen can make a living in the future
    小题4:What is the main purpose of the text ?
    A．To inform.B．To educate.C．To persuade .D．To instruct.

    Look closely at ,your hands-are they clean? It doesn't matter how many times you was  your hands. They're still crowded with microbes, which are also called "germs" or "bacteria". Microbes are everywhere. But don't worry-most microbes don't harm you. and many actually help you stay alive.
    Now,  scientists say the microbes that live on our hands could be used in a surprising way: fighting crime.
    When police visit the scene of a crime, they often look for fingerprints to try to identifythe criminal.  But according to a recent study, investigators could even use microbes to help break a criminal case.
    Every person has his or her own set of microbes that live on their hands, according to scientists at,the University of:Colorado. That means the mix of different kinds of microbes on everybody's hand is unique-much like one's fingerprint.
    The scientists wanted to know whether this microbe mix could be used as a new kind of fingerprint-especially in a crime scene where fingerprints might be hard to find.  And policemen use forensics such as studying fingerprints to identify the criminal.
    "Microbe fingerprints are harder to hide," said Noah Fierer, one of the scientists.
    "You can't sterilize(为……杀菌) a surface just by wiping it off. "
    His team compared the bacteria on the hands of 273 people with the bacteria found on each person's computer keyboard. For the study, the keyboards had been used only by the people who were being tested. The study showed that the mix of microbes from each per- son's hands matched the mix of microbes on that person's keyboard. The scientists were easily able to tell the 273 people apart-just by looking at their keyboards.
    But there are a lot more than 273 criminals. Other scientists wonder whetherthe microbe fingerprint can really be that useful. 
    Fierer agrees that scientists have a lot more work to do before the microbe fingerprint will be a useful tool．
    小题1:According to the passage,  microbes on people's hands_____
    A．do more harm than goodB．are easy to get rid of
    C．are almost the sameD．might help find crimes
    小题2:The underlined word "forensics" in Paragraph 5 probably refers to________.
    A．the scientific test used by police
    B．a new kind of fingerprint
    C．a kind of bacteria'in people's hands
    D．a kind of newly invented keyboard
    小题3:What did Fierer's team find through the study?
    A．They found the criminal among the 237 people.
    B．They could tell who had used which computer.
    C．Computer keyboards couldn't keep people's microbe fingerprints.
    D．People's characters could be identified by the keyboards they used.
    小题4:We can learn from the passage that ______.
    A．your microbes may give you away
    B．scientists will come to a clear conclusion soon
    C．many scientists think microbe fingerprints useless
    D．the microbe fingerprint has been used in many cases
    小题5:The main idea of the passage is about_____.
    A．the importance of fingerprintsB．how to clean our hands
    C．the usefulness of microbesD．different germs on our hands

    The forces that make Japan one of the world's most earthquake-prone（有地震倾向的） countries could become part of its long-term energy solution．
    Water from deep below the ground at Japan's tens of thousands of hot springs could be used to produce electricity．
    Although Japanese high-tech companies are leaders in geothermal（地热的） technology and export it, its use is limited in the nation．
    "Japan should no doubt make use of its resources of geothermal energy," said Yoshiyasu Takefuji, a leading researcher of thermal-electric power production．
    The disastrous earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011 caused a reaction against atomic power, which previously made up 30 percent of Japan's energy needs, and increased interest in alternative energies, which account for only 8 percent．
    Artist Yoko Ono has called on Japan to explore its natural energy, following the example of Iceland which uses renewable energy for more than 80 percent of its needs．
    For now, geothermal energy makes up less than 1 percent of the energy needs in Japan, which has for decades relied heavily on fossil fuels and atomic power．
    The biggest problem to geothermal energy is the high initial cost of the exploration and constructing the factories．Another problem is that Japan's potentially best sites are already being developed for tourism or are located within national parks where construction is forbidden．
    "We can't even dig 10cm inside national parks．" said Shigeto Yamada of Fuji Electric, adding that regulations protecting nature would need to be relaxed for geothermal energy to grow．
    Researcher Hideaki Matsui said, "Producing electricity using hot springs is a decades-long project．We also have to think about what to do for now as energy supplies will decline in the short term．"
    The Earth Policy Institute in Washington, US, believed Japan could produce 80,000 megawatts（兆瓦）and meet more than half its electricity needs with geothermal technology．
    Japanese giants such as Toshiba are already global leaders in geothermal technology, with a 70 percent market share．In 2010, Fuji Electric built the world's largest geothermal factory in New Zealand．
    小题1:What would be the best title for the text?
    A．Alternative energies in Japan
    B．World's largest geothermal plant
    C．Japan takes the lead in geothermal technology
    D．Japan thinks of geothermal energy
    小题2:What percentage of Japan's energy needs is geothermal energy?
    A．About 8%．B．Below 1%．C．Around 30%．D．Over 80%．
    小题3:According to Shigeto Yamada, the growth of geothermal power in Japan needs ____．
    A．a change of rulesB．financial support
    C．local people's helpD．high technology
    小题4:Geothermal energy is considered as a long-term program by _____．
    A．Yoshiyasu TakefujiB．Hideaki Matsui
    C．Shigeto YamadaD．Yoko Ono
    小题5:It can be learned from the last two paragraphs that _____．
    A．the world's biggest geothermal plant was built by America
    B．Japan will not export its geothermal technology
    C．the potential of Japan's geothermal energy is great
    D．it is hard to find geothermal energy in Japan

    [1] Many good reasons for parents to send their children to camps.
    [2]When children go to camp, they are on their own, sometimes for the very first time in their lives. They have to decide what to wear, what to eat and which activities to participate in. As a result they develop confidence and independence.
    [3]As self-respect develops from learning to be on their own, children continue to try new activities. Also it is possible that they will engage in what they are unfamiliar with. In school, children do not experience success in the same way. Camp can be a school without failure because just having fun makes them a success.
    [4]One of the greatest benefits of a camp experience is that children develop social skills. In a camp setting, a good counselor will make sure that every camper is included in the activity and that each child interacts with the others in a positive way. They learn to give and take, and they learn how to work and cooperate. Something as simple as clean-up, is not only there to get the cabin clean, but to promote a team atmosphere of working together which in turn results in friendship.
    [5]The obvious benefit of camp is that campers make long lasting friendships. These friendships can often be unique and special because campers are living with each other and see the true personalities. Children learn to see others from a different viewpoint. Children tend to be accepted for who they are and do not have to be concerned about what they wear, what they are good at and how they look. This is because in a camp setting, respect and caring finally win out over materialistic objectives. 
    [6]In a word, camp does give children fun, friends and fulfillment.

    Fish have different personalities which change as they experience life’s highs and lows．according to British biologists．
    Researchers identified different“personalities” in their fish by observing the boldness or shyness of individuals，according to The Nature．Like people，some fish are very confident in the face of novelty(新奇事物)or conflict；while others are silent and fear．
    The scientists selected particularly bold and shy rainbow trout，and tested whether they changed their outlook depending on what life threw at them．They arranged some fish to fight and others to  watch to  see how both the participants  and  observers  responded to victories  and defeats．Winning or losing a fight，or even watching fellow fish overcome the difficulties influenced the future behavior of the creatures studied in the lab．
    The researchers made fish compete with much larger or smaller opponents．to ensure that they would win or lose their fights．These bold fish that won their fights tended to be even bolder when later presented with  a novel food  item；losing their fight caused them to be  much more cautious．
    Fish also learn by watching others．Bold fish watching a shy fish exploring a mystery object were much more nervous when later given a novelty item for themselves．
    Predictably，shy fish that won a fight also gained more confidence，but surprisingly，shy fish that lost their fights also grew bolder when exploring strange new food，Sneddon said，adding that this could be due to what she calls a“desperado effect”(亡命徒效应)．
    The new research suggests that animals can gradually adapt their personalities．The results echo the effects that life experience can have on human．
    小题1:What does．the underlined word“creatures’’probably refer to?
    A．Fish．B．Participants．C．Observers．D．Researchers．
    小题2:The third paragraph of the text is mainly about—————．
    A．a conclusion of the research
    B．an explanation of fish characters
    C．a statement of the experiment
    D．a description of fish fights
    小题3:What can we know from the research?
    A．Bold losing fish become—e bolder when presented With a novel food item．
    B．Losing their fights causes the bold fish to be much more courageous．
    C．Bold fish watching a shy fish exploring a mystery get less nervous．
    D．Shy fish losing fights grow more confident in exploring new food．
    小题4:What’s the main idea of the text?’   
    A．Fish have stress in the fierce fights．
    B．Fish care about winning or losing a fight．
    C．Fish have adaptable personalities．
    D．Fish can learn a lot by watching others．
