         Climate change could make much of the world too hot for human habitation (居住)
    within just three centuries, according to some scientists.
         These scientists found that rising temperatures in some places mean humans would
    be unable to adapt or survive. "' It would begin to occur with global - mean warming
    of about 7℃, calling the habitability of some regions into question," the researchers
    wrote in a paper.
         With 11-12℃ warming, such regions would spread to include the majority of the
    human population as currently distributed. Professor Steven said there was no chance
    of the earth heating up by 7℃ this century, but there was a serious risk that the
    continued burning of gas and coal could create the problem by 2300. "'There's
    something like a 50/50 chance of that over the long term," he said.
         The study, which examined climate change over a longer period than most other
    research, looked at the "heat stress" produced by combining the influence of rising
    temperatures and increased humidity (湿度).
         Professor Steven said climate change research had been "short-sighted" not to
    realize the long-term consequences of the influence of greenhouse gases blamed for
    global warming. "It needs to be paid attention to," he said. "There's not much we can
    do about climate change over the next two decades but there's still a lot we can do
    about the longer term changes    ." "Near 2300, we may be faced with temperature
    increases of 12 degrees or even more," Professor Tony Michael said." If this happens,
    our current worries about sea level rise, occasional heat waves and bushfires,
    biodiversity (生物品种) loss and agricultural difficulties will appear in front of us -- as
    much as half the currently inhabited globe may simply become too hot for people to
    live there. "
    1. Which of the following statements is supported by Professor Steven?______
    A. The earth will heat up by 7℃ this century.
    B. Burning of fuel adds to the earth's heating.
    C. We may be faced with temperature increases of 12 degrees.
    D. Climate change would not stop until 2100.
    2. From the underlined part in Paragraph 5 we learn that Professor Steven______
    A. thinks scientists should do more research on climate change
    B. doesn't think we can do anything to avoid global warming
    C. believes we can do much to prevent the longer term changes
    D. wishes to examine climate change over a longer period
    3. The author mainly wants to tell us that _____.
    A. the human population is not distributed properly
    B. large parts of the earth may be too hot for humans to live on by 2300
    C. greenhouse gases are to blame for global warming
    D. human beings will die out three centuries later

         Scientists have tried to come up with biological explanations for the difference between boys and girls.
    However, none were believable enough to explain the general picture. As one scientist points out, "There
    are slight genetic(遗传的) differences between the sexes at birth which may affect the subjects boys and
    girls choose. But the difficulty is that by the time children reach school age, there are so many other effects that it is almost impossible to tell whether girls are worse at science and maths, or whether they've been brought up to think of these subjects as boys'' territory".
         Statistics(统计数据) show that in mathematics, at least, girls are equal to boys. A recent report
    suggests that girls only stop studying mathematics because of social attitudes. One of the reports' authors
    says, "While it is socially unacceptable for people not to be able to read and write, it is still acceptable for women to say that they are 'hope-less' at maths. Our research shows that, although girls get marks which
    are as good as the boys', they have not been encouraged to do so."
         The explanation for the difference, which is very clear during the teenage years, goes as far back as
    early childhood experiences. From their first days in nursery school, girls are not encouraged to work on
    their own or to complete tasks, although boys are. For example, boys but not girls, are often asked to
    'help' with repair work. This encouragement leads to a way of learning how to solve problems later on in
    life. Evidence shows that exceptional mathematicians and scientists did not have teachers who supplied
    answers; they had to find out for themselves.
    A further report on maths teaching shows that teachers seem to give more attention to boys than to girls.
    Most teachers who took part in the study admitted that they expect their male students to do better at
    mathematics and science subjects than their female students. All of this tends to encourage boys to work
    harder in these subjects, gives them confidence  and makes them believe that they can succeed.    
          Interestingly, both boys and girls tend to regard such 'male' subjects like mathematics and science as
    difficult. Yet it has been suggested that girls avoid mathematics courses, not because they are difficult, but
    for social reasons.
         Mathematics and science are mainly male subjects, and therefore, as girls become teenagers, they are
    less likely to take them up. Girls do not seem to want to be in open competition with boys. Neither do
    they want to do better than boys because they are afraid to appear less female and so, less attractive.

    1. The underlined word "territory" in the second paragraph most probably means "      ".
    A. interest  
    B. area of land  
    C. special field  
    D. district

    2. According to scientific studies,             .
    A.  maths is not fit for girls to learn  
    B.  boys have a special sense of maths
    C.  girls are poorer at maths because they are the weaker sex
    D.  girls can learn maths as well as boys if given enough encouragement

    3. Those who made extraordinary contribution in mathematics and science         .
    A.usually had good teachers to help them
    B. had the abilities to solve problems by themselves
    C. usually worked harder than others
    D. were encouraged to repair things when young

    4. Which of the following is not true according to the text?
    A. It seems socially acceptable for a girl not to be able to read and write.
    B. It is a social problem rather than a problem of brains that girls are poor at maths
    C. Mathematics and science are no easy subjects to either girls or boys.
    D. There is no connection between a girl's ability in maths and her appearance.

    5. What would be the best title for the text?
    A. Who's Afraind of Maths Anyway?
    B. Are Boys Cleverer than Girls?
    C. Boys Are Better at Maths than Girls by Birth
    D. Maths-A Difficult Subject

    Reading Comprehension.
         Communications technologies are far from equal when it comes to conveying the truth. A recent
    research shows people tend to tell more lies in phone conversations than they are in emails. The fact that
    emails are automatically recorded and can come back to haunt you appears to be the key to the finding.
         Jeff Hancock of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, asked 30 students to keep a communications
    diary for a week. In it they noted the number of conversations or email exchanges they had lasting more
    than 10 minutes, and confessed to how many lies they told. Hancock then worked out the number of lies
    per conversation for each medium. He found that lies made up 14 percent of emails, 21 percent of instant
    messages, 27 percent of face-to-face interactions and an astonishing 37 of phone calls.
         His results to be presented at the conference on human-computer interaction in Vienna, Austria, in April,
    have surprised psychologists. Some expected emailers to be the biggest liars, reasoning that because deception
    makes people uncomfortable, the detachment (非直接接触) of emailing would make it easier to lie. Others
    expected people to be more in face-to-face exchanges because we are most practiced at that form of
    communication.
         But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a conversation is being recorded and could be reread, and
    whether it occurs in real time. "People appear to be afraid to lie when they know the communication could
    later be used to hold them to account," he says. This is why fewer lies appear in email than on the phone.
         "People are also more likely to lie in real time in an instant message or phone call than if they have time to
    think of a response," say Hancock. He found many lies are spontaneous responses to an unexpected demand,
    such as, "Do you like my dress?"
         Hancock hopes his research will help companies work out the best ways for their employees to
    communicate. For instance, the phone might be the best medium for sales where employees are encouraged
    to stretch the truth. But, given his result, work assessment where honesty is a priority, might be best done
    using email.
    1. Hancock's study focuses on ______.
    [     ]
    A. the consequences of lying in various communications media
    B. the success of communications technologies in conveying ideas
    C. people are less likely to lie in instant messages
    D. people's honesty levels across a range of communications media
    2. Hancock's research finding surprised those who believed that ______.
    [     ]
    A. people are less likely to lie in instant messages
    B. people are unlikely to lie in face-to-face interactions
    C. people are most likely to lie in email communication
    D. people are twice as likely to lie in phone conversations
    3. According to the passage, why are people more likely to tell the truth through certain media of
        communication?
    [     ]
    A. They are afraid of leaving behind traces of their lies.
    B. They believe that honesty is the best policy.
    C. They tend to be relaxed when using those media.
    D. They are most practiced at those forms of communication.
    4. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
    [     ]
    A. honesty should be encouraged in interpersonal communications
    B. more employers will use emails to communicate with their employees
    C. suitable media should be chosen for different communication purposes
    D. email is now the dominant medium of communication within a company

         As an aid-fashioned as it sounds, doctors say the best way to lose weight is to eat less and
    exercise more. For women who are middle-aged 'or older, experts say an hour of daily exercise
    is necessary just to keep weight.
         But for most women, fitting in an hour of exercise in an already busy day is difficult, and it is
    even impossible. Especially for many women, most hours are already filled with a full-time job
    and raising a family. At the end of the tiring day, at least in the U.S., there is little incentive to
    prepare a dinner when fast food is so available--and so much more fattening.
         Nearly twenty million women in the U.S. have the problem of obesity. The United Nations
    report notes that America is one of the countries that have the most obese people in the world
    and Mississippi has more overweight women than any other state in the U.S.. The U. S. Center
    for Disease Control says the number of overweight women increased by 60% between 2004
    and 2009 in America. The World Health Organization says more than one billion women in other
    nations are in the same shape.
         While there is plenty of advice on how to lose kilograms, a new study is carried out on
    middie-aged and older women who keep normal body weight, or BMI (Body Mass Index). "We
    found that physical activity was effective in controlling weight only among women who started to gain
    weight from a normal BMI ,'I-Min Lee and her colleagues found more exercise did not help.
         "Once a woman is obese, there was no relation between physical activity and weight change
    among these women, "Lee said. The researchers say the only way that obese women can lose weight
    is to simply cut calories.
    1. What makes it difficult for most women to have an hour of exercise every day?
    A. Losing confidence in exercising.        
    B. Paying all attention to their jobs.
    C. Having no interest in exercising.        
    D. Being too busy to find spare time.
    2. The third paragraph shows us that ______.
    A. more and more women are caring about their weight
    B. the problem of woman obesity worldwide is serious
    C. many organizations are built to care about fat women
    D. America has more overweight women than any other country
    3. What should an obese woman do to lose weight according to Lee?
    A. Eat more vegetables and fruit and less fat.
    B. Keep busy all day long and do a lot of exercise.
    C. Find a high energy costing and tiring job.
    D. Sleep less, eating less and exercising more.
    4. From the passage, we know an hour of daily exercise can ______.
    A. help people to lose weight          
    B. make people put on weight
    C. make people keep weight      
    D. keep people busy

         A common misconception (误解) -about scholarships is that they are only available for the smartest
    students with the highest GPAs. However, this just isn't even close to true. There are scholarships out
    there for every type of student seeking a college education. Let's take a look at each type a bit more in
    depth.
         Academic Scholarships
         Academic scholarships are also often referred to as merit (优点) scholarships, though a merit
    scholarship can mean anything that has some level of contest to it. These are fox; the students with the
    4.0 GPAs, the years as a part of several extracurricular (课外的) activities and the well- rounded
    applications. They typically have the highest payouts and are considered very well- known as they are
    often national awards.
         Athletic Scholarships
         For students with strong academics (学业的) and physical skills, athletic scholarships are the way
    to go. There is practically a scholarship for every single sport, from volleyball to football; gymnastics to
    cheerleading. So, if you are good at anything physical, you should definitely pursue an athletic scholarship.
         Scholarships for Minorities
         There are also many scholarships for minorities available. Some of these are general and for "all
    minorities as a collective whole, while others are intended for individual ethnic (种族的) groups. It is
    also a good idea to apply for a minority scholarship if you are part of fully of a certain ethnicity. You
    will get to represent your culture and possibly win money -- what more could you ask for?
         Scholarships for Women
         As with the scholarships for minorities above, there are also scholarships specifically for women.
    Since colleges were dominated (主宰) by men for many years, scholarships have been created for
    strong, career-minded women that need assistance paying for college expenses. If you are female, it is
    strongly recommended you pursue a scholarship for women. Moreover, scholarships for women are
    typic
    ally available in just about any field. Be specific!
    1. In the author's opinion, ______.
    A. most people are well - informed about scholarships
    B. most people think scholarships should go to the smartest students
    C. most people have some misunderstanding about scholarships
    D. most people deserve scholarships though not having applied for them
    2. Tom does well in his lessons and is especially good at sports. The best scholarship he can
       apply for ______.
    A. Academic Scholarships                 
    B. Athletic Scholarships
    C. Scholarships for Minorities                
    D. Scholarships for Women
    3. Alice is an Indian -American. She prefers to study her own culture and something about
       ethnology (民族学). Then she'd better apply for ______.
    A. Academic Scholarships                  
    B. Athletic Scholarships
    C. Scholarships for Minorities              
    D. Scholarships for Women
    4. How many scholarships are intended for all tile students?
    A. One.      
    B. Two.      
    C. Three.        
    D. Four.

        This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers (young people aged from13~19) from all over the world
    will spend about ten months in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form
    impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other
    countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.
         Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's
    family. In turn, George's son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America. 
         Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months' study the language
    began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected-much harder. Students
    rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are
    usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.
         Family life, too, was different. The father's word was law, and all activities were around the family rather
    than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car. 
         "Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk,
    but you soon learn to like it."
         At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. "I suppose I should
    criticize (批评) American schools," he said. "It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very
    much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe
    your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two."
    1. This year _____ teenagers will take part in the exchange programme between America and other countries.
    [     ]
    A. twenty-three hundred
    B. thirteen hundred
    C. over three thousand
    D. less than two thousand
    2. The whole exchange programme is mainly to _____.
    [     ]
    A. help teenagers in other countries know the real America
    B. send students in America to travel in Germany
    C. let students learn something about other countries
    D. have teenagers learn new languages
    3. Fred and Mike agree that _____.
    [     ]
    A. America food tasted better than German food
    B. German schools were harder than American schools
    C. Americans and Germans were both friendly
    D. There were more cars on the streets in America
    4. What is particular in American schools is that _____.
    [     ]
    A. there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings
    B. there are a lot of after-school activities
    C. students usually take fourteen subjects in all
    D. students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car

         Edmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago. He studied the
    observations of comets(彗星) which other scientists had made. The orbit of one
    particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not figure it out.
    Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.
    However, Halley had a friend named Isaac Newton, who was a brilliant mathematician. 
    Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the
    paper on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape
    of an ellipse(椭圆形).
         Now Halley set to work. He figured out(觯决,计算出) the orbits of some of the
    comets that had been observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The
    comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607 and 1682 all had the same orbit.
    Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart.
         This seemed very strange to Halley. Three different comets followed the same orbit.
    The more Halley thought about it, the more he thought that there had not been three
    different comets, as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same
    comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back again.
         It was an astonislung idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction(顶言 )
    of what would happen in the future. He decided that this comet would appear in the
    year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halley's prediction could be tested.
         In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some
    years before. Ever since then that comet had been called Halley's comet, in his honour.

    1. Edmund Halley figured out the orbit of._______
    A. some different comets appearing several times
    B. the same comet appearing at different times
    C. three different comets appearing three times
    D.several comets appearing three times
    2. Halley made his discovery .______
    A. by doing experiments
    B. by means of his own careful observation
    C. by using the work of other scientists
    D. by chance
    3. Halley made a surprising, but correct prediction in the year .______
    A. 1704
    B.1705
    C.1706
    D. 1707
    4. This passage in general is about .______
    A. Halley and other scientists

         A Northern Ireland team is leading a research to develop a thinking computer which can
    sense a user's mood.Researchers at Queen's University in Belfast hope to complete the 10
    million Euro project for an emotionsensitive computer within four years.
         The aim is to enable computers to think and behave more like humans.The Europewide
    project is being led by the university's School of Psychology and involves 160 researchers
    from 27 institutions.The university's researchers developed the scheme and signed the
    contract with the European Commission.The academics said the work will build upon attempts
    to create "multimodal interfaces (多模式界面)" which allow machines to sense and respond
    to the moods of the user.
         Programme leader Professor Roddy Cowie said while it sounds like science fiction, computers
    which respond to human emotion will appear in the future."At the moment, our use of computers
    is limited by the fact that we need a keyboard and a screen to access them," he said."It would make
    a big difference if we could interact with them by speaking normally-perhaps through a microphone
    and a transmitter (传感器)．" But emotion is part of normal speech, and experience has shown that
    most users are deeply uncomfortable with speech interfaces that ignore it-too uncomfortable to use
    them very much."If we can make computers more intuitive (富于直觉的) and expressive, and also
    less challenging to use, there is great potential to let people make fuller use of information technology."
         The emotionsensitive computer would have its own "personality" and establish a social relationship
    with the user."It's a fair bet that in 30 years' time, emotionsensitive interfaces will be as much part of
    life as windowandmouse interfaces are now," said Professor Cowie.The project team believes such
    computers will play a major role in teaching and learning.
    1．Which of the following statements is TRUE about the project?
    A．It aims to create an emotionsensitive computer.
    B．It can create a 10 million Euro profit.
    C．It is led by a Southern Ireland team.
    D．It has been completed within four years.
    2．How will computers sense users' moods?
    A．Through a screen.
    B．Through a keyboard.
    C．Through the voice of users.
    D．Through multimodal interfaces.
    3．We can infer from the passage that a person's emotion________.
    A．varies from time to time
    B．is determined by his own personality
    C．plays an important role in normal speech
    D．makes people uncomfortable when one is speaking
    4．What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph?
    A．Emotionsensitive computers can talk freely as human beings.
    B．It will be difficult for people to use emotionsensitive computers.
    C．Emotionsensitive computers have been widely used in teaching.
    D．It will be common for people to use emotionsensitive computers in the future.

         Last Monday,David Nichol,Australia's top kidney (肾)doctor,successfully removed a
     diseased kidney from a woman.What's so unusual about that?David Nichol was in his 
    office in Australia while the woman lay on an operating table in New Zealand.?
         What connected them was a technology called remote surgery(手术).?
         Remote surgery itself is not new.In 2001,a group of doctors in New York,US,removed 
    a gall bladder (胆囊)from a patient lying in France.It was the first successful case of remote
     surgery used on a human across international borders.?
         Now,Nichol's operation is to be the first one performed on the kidneys.Nichol used
     joysticks (操纵杆)to direct robotic arms in the New Zealand operating room during
     the two-hour operation.The joysticks and the robotic arms are linked by a computer 
    network.Nichol could watch the robot's work while doctors in New Zealand checked 
    the patient and changed the instruments as needed."Before this technology,I would have
     been in the operating theatre (手术室)when they were performing the operation," Nichol 
    said.During remote surgery,the doctor is the one in control.The robots carry out the 
    operation using a complex method.?
         Doctors have found that a robot is better than a human surgeon at carrying out this 
    difficult operation—even when it is controlled thousands of miles away.Unlike humans,
    robotic "arms" do not shake when they target a small piece of tissue (组织)or organ.In 
    remote surgery such as the removal of kidney stones,the robotic arm inserts a long special 
    needle into the patient's body and X-rays guide it to the kidney.
         Once the robotic arm has reached the hard kidney stone,the needle gets wider so that 
    a tiny telescope can travel down it and look at the organ.Then instruments are used to 
    break up the stone and get rid of the remaining waste.?
         For doctors,the technology means less stress in the operation room.And for patients,it
