    A kind of little cars may some day take the place of today’s ones. If everyone drives such cars in the future, there will be less pollution in the air. There will also be more space for parking cars in cities, and the streets will be less crowded. Three such cars can fit in the space now needed for one car of the usual size.
    The little cars will cost much less to own and to drive. Driving will be safer, too, as these little cars can go only 65 kilometers an hour.
    The cars of the future will be fine for getting around the city, but they will not be useful for long trips. Little cars will go 450 kilometers before needing to stop for more gasoline.
    If big cars are still used along with the small ones, two sets of roads will be needed in the future. Some roads will be used for the gig, fast cars and other roads will be needed for the slower small ones.

    Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS)-also called “second-hand smoke” and “passive smoking” contains over 4 000 chemicals, including over 50 known carcinogens (致癌物) and many poisonous things. No safe level of ETS exposure has been proved. Nor is there any expectation that further research will identify such a level.
    Several recent reviews have confirmed the serious risks to health and life associated with passive smoking. Long time exposure to second-hand smoke has been proved as a cause of many of the same diseases caused by active smoking, including lung cancer, cardiovascular (心脏血管的) disease, and childhood disease.
    Living with a smoker has been shown to increase the risk of coronary heart disease (冠心病) among non-smokers by 25-30% (a recent study indicates that this figure may actually be higher). There is also growing evidence that passive smoking is causally linked to stroke in non-smokers, although further research is needed to estimate the risk.
    Second-hand smoke is especially dangerous for young children and infants, being associated with sudden infant death, pneumonia, bronchitis (支气管炎), asthma (哮喘) and respiratory symptoms as well as middle ear disease. ETS exposure in pregnant women can cause lower birth weight, foetal (胎儿的) death and preterm delivery.
    Most of the adverse health outcomes brought about by ETS show that the risk increases steadily with increasing exposure. The level of individual risk is lower compared to active smoking. Nevertheless, the fact that large numbers of people are exposed results in a substantial burden of disease.
    Action on smoke-free environments would not only protect people from the harm of ETS exposure but also contribute to the reduction of tobacco consumption in the whole population. The health effects of reduced passive and active smoking would include reduced illness and death from major disease types-in particular lung cancer, coronary heart disease, and stroke-and increased life expectancy.
    51. Which of the following statements is true? _______
    A. Although ETS contains many harmful things, it is not unsafe.
    B. The fact that second-hand smoke is safe has been recently found.
    C. It is expected that further research will be done to test the level of ETS.
    D. By far the safe level of ETS has not been found and will not in the future.
    52. Cardiovascular disease can be caused by _______.
    A. long time passive smoking    B. accidental active smoking
    B. occasional passive smoking   D. short term active smoking
    53. According to the article, the statements about the risk of coronary heart disease are wrong EXCEPT that________
    A. if you smoke, the risk of this disease will increase by 25-30%. 
    B. the non-smokers exposed to smoke will increase the risk of this disease by 25-30%.
    C. for the smokers, the risk of getting this disease is higher than that of the non-smokers.
    D. the non-smokers exposed to smoke will be more easily to get this disease than the smokers.
    54. What does the underlined word “delivery” mean? ________.
    A. Transferring to another     B. Giving birth   C. Throwing away   D. Giving out
    55. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing this passage? ______
    A. To introduce what is ETS.
    B. To tell the readers how to avoid ETS.
    C. To call for the action against ETS.
    D. To warn the readers against smoking.

    项涂黑。
    Increasingly over the last few years,we have become familiar with the range of small electronic devices or  “smart” accessories (附件,饰品 ) . Pocket heart -rate monitors for joggers and electronic maps are just the first examples of many new products that promise to change our lives in all sorts of surprising ways.
    As a scientist at New York University . Rosalind Picard tries out different smart accessories before they go on the market.  One of these was the so-called " frown (皱眉)headband". Rosalind was shocked to realize just how often she frowned. Stuck in a traffic jam recently, Rosalind kept hearing the sounds of the tiny sensor inside the band worn around her forehead -each time she frowned in annoyance, the sensor gave out a signal.
    Another computer scientist , Stevcn Feiner, is working on a pair of glasses that will do more than help you to see .Imagine you want to try a restaurant in a foreign city but you're not familiar with the dishes on the menu.  If you are weanng a pair of Steven's glasses . all yau have to do is glance above the restauran’s doorway and your glasses will immediately become windows to the Tntemet, offering you full details of the meals served inside. The glasses could also be used to help people make speeches,give chefs access to the latest recipes and even provide doctors with
    patient information while they carry out operations.
    At the moment, Steven's invention looks more like a large ski mask than a pair of glasses.
    It's a headset connected to a hand-held computer and a Global Positioning  System  ( GPS ) receiver, which tracks the wearer's position. But he says that these head-worn displays will eventually get smaller and lighter as technology improves.
    And, of course, this new technology has a fashionable as well as a useful application. A chemical engineer named Roben Langer has invented a new microchip that, if put inside a ring,can give off different smells according to a person's mood. That, of course, may or may not appeal to you.  And,in the end , it is  shoppers . not scientiscs , who will determine which of these smart accessories will succeed as fashionable items and which are sure tO join history's long list of crazy inventions.
    It is clear,however ,that as computers get smaller and cheapcr.  Lhcy will pop up in all sorts
    of easily-wearable accessories . even in the buttons on your coat.  WhaCs morc, this is something that's going to happen a lot sooner than we all expect.
    41. When Rosalind wore the headband, she was surprised a___________
    A. how well the sensor worked           B. how she was affected by traffic
    C. how strong the signal was            D. how uncomfortable it was
    42.  For people eating out , Steven’ s glasses can___________      
    A . give them a restaurant's location
    B.  let them see a restaurant's environment
    C.  inform them about a restaurant’s menu 
    D.  tell them about a restaurant's quality
    43. What is the current problem with Stevcn's glasses?
    A. Limited function.                B. Inconvenience.
    C. High cost.                       D. Poor Internet access.
    44.  In general, what does the writer think about smart accessories?
    A. They will soon be widely available.
    B. Much more research is needed into them.
    C. Only a few of them will appeal to shoppers.
    D. Most of them are considered to be crazy inventions.
    45. What's the writer's purpose in writing this passage?
    A. To advertise some smart accessories.
    B .To tell interesting stories about smart accessories.
    C. To argue that smart accessories are fashionable.
    D. To introduce the idea of smart accessories.

    Children are our future, and it’s up to us to arm them with the tools to succeed. Sadly, today’s children are being armed with more dangerous tools like weapons （武器）, drugs and gangs. Once a relatively peaceful environment, many schoolyards of today are becoming unsafe for both students and teachers.
    Home schools are available to give you choices. Home schooling provides top-quality education, flexibility, and freedom to create your own schedule. At Heritage Home School we believe the choice should be yours. Thanks in part to modern technology, home schooling information is becoming readily available across our nation. A recent study by the ITBS （Iowa Tests of Basic Skills） and TAP （Tests of Achievement and Proficiency） shows us that students of home schools do particularly well when compared with the nationwide average. In every subject at every grade level, students of home schooling scored obviously higher than those in public and private schools.
    If you’re new to home schooling, you may be asking yourself, “Will home schools really work for my children?”
    Fact: A nationwide study using a random（任意）selection of 1,516 families found students of home schooling to be scoring, on average, at or above the 80th percentile in all areas on standardized achievement test.
    Note: The national average on standardized achievement tests is the 50th percentile. Collectively, the staff at Heritage Home School brings 65 years of experience in home schooling curriculum. We’ve placed students in the top 2 % of the nation in math and many are successfully moving on to college.
    One study found that of the home schooled adults, 0% were unemployed, 0% were on welfare and 94% said home education prepared them to be independent persons. For more home schooling information, call us today toll free at（877）532-7665.
    小题1:We can learn from the first paragraph that ________.
    A．many schools armed their students with weapons
    B．violence and crime exist in many schoolyards
    C．students use weapons to defend their schoolyards
    D．weapons are more dangerous than drugs
    小题2:All of the following are true of home schools EXCEPT that ________.
    A．students are free to choose their courses
    B．students do well in important national tests
    C．they help students find jobs

    小题3:What is the purpose of the text?
    A．To give information about different schools.
    B．To compare home schools with other schools.
    C．To suggest a new method of school education.
    D．To persuade people to choose home schools.

    Some fish form huge schools. Could fish set up schools and teach their children how to survive in the ocean? You may ask. No. Here the “schools” are not the places where you study. They are fish shoals (鱼群) that cover tens of kilometers. What causes hundreds of millions of fish to gather and move together is one of biology’s mysteries.
    Darkness appears to be the first step to the creation of shoals, according to a study published in the March 27 journal Science. A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and five other institutions studied Atlantic herring (鲱鱼), which forms shoals on a fishing ground off Massachusetts. They used an underwater imaging technology and fish-finding sonar (声纳) to observe the herring over several days in autumn when they spawn (产卵).
    They found that, as the sun set, fish in scattered (分散的) groups began swimming much closer to one another than they normally do. When the number of fish reached a certain point in an area, this set off a chain reaction of similar behavior that spread like a sound wave through the water.
    The herring’s movement seemed to be started by sunset. The team didn’t record the breakup of these shoals, but a previous study suggested that as the sun rose, the shoals fell apart.
    “When the light fades (逐渐消失), it’s safer for the fish to move away from the seabed,” says Nicholas Makris, a professor at MIT who led the research. “Once they have a certain number of other fish, they suddenly come together - forming a shoal covering tens of kilometers within tens of minutes.”
    Herring form shoals to migrate during the autumn spawning season. Some shoals were 40 km across and 30 m from top to bottom. They formed in deep water and moved into more shallow waters to spawn.
    Forming shoals helps protect them from predators (掠食者) by giving them simple strength in numbers. The ordered movement of the shoal means the fish can reach their spawning ground more quickly and more safely.
    Scientists have never before gathered information on so many animals acting together. Understanding these herring shoals could lead to more ideas about what causes animals to move in schools, says Iain Couzin, a biologist at Princeton University, US.
    1. Which school in the following expressions is used the same way as the underlined one in the first paragraph?
    A. schools of thoughts       B. school a horse   C. a school of whales       D. a medical school
    2. Which of the following statements is true?
    A. There are more large shoals of herring at night than in the daytime.
    B. The research on Atlantic herring was conducted independently by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
    C. The larger the shoal of herring is, the more slowly it moves.
    D. Scientists have found out the reason why fish gather and move together in huge shoals.
    3. According to the research, herring tend to get together except ______.
    A.when there are predators around  B. when they spawn C. when the sun sets  D. when the sun rises
    4. What seems to be the main reason for herring to gather and move together?
    A. To avoid the darkness.
    B. To keep other kinds of fish out of their spawning ground.
    C. To spawn in the shallow waters.
    D. To make themselves feel safe.

    Against the assumption that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia warm the climate, scientists have discovered that cooling may occur in areas where burnt trees allow more snow to mirror more sunlight into space.
    This finding suggests that taking steps to prevent northern forest fires to limit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climate in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed forests in these areas over the past decade. Scientists predict that with climate warming, fires may occur more frequently over next several centuries as a result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken in by the earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to cause cooling.
    This is the first study to analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fire in northern regions speed up climate warming because greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are released into the atmosphere and thus trap heat.
    Scientists found that right after the fire, large amounts of greenhouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozone（臭氧）levels increased, and ash from the fire fell on far-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation from the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, the land within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, because fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mirrored more sunlight back into space, leading to cooling.
    “We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.” Scientists tracked the change in amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate system as a result of the fire, and found a measurement closely related to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regions occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, however, found that when fire occurs more frequently, more radiation is lost from the earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicated, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burned are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square meter will be sent back into space. The net effect is cooling. Watts are used to measure the rate at which energy is gained or lost from the earth.
    小题1:According to the new findings, taking steps to prevent northern forest fires may _______.
    A．result in a warming climate
    B．cause the forest fires to occur more frequently
    C．lead to a longer fire season
    D．protect the forests and the environment there
    小题2:Earlier studies about northern forest fires ________.
