1、Keeping Cut Flowers1 While everybody enjoys fresh cut flowers around his house, few people know how to keep them fｏｒas long as possible. This may be done by keeping in mind a few simple fact. 2 An important thing to remember about cut flowers is that they are sensitive to temperature. Fｏｒexample, studies have shown that cut carnations (康乃馨) retain their freshness eight times longer when kept at 12℃ than when kept at 26℃. Keeping freshly harvested flowers at the right temperatures is probably the most important aspect of flower care. 3 Flowers are not intended by nature to live very long. Their biological purpose is simply to attract birds ｏｒinsects, such as bees, fｏｒpollination (粉). After that, they quickly dry up ａｎｄ　die. The process by which flowers consume oxygen ａｎｄ　produce carbon dioxide, called respiration, generates the energy the flower needs to give the flower its shape ａｎｄ　color. The making of seeds also depends on this energy. While all giving things respire, flowers have a high level of respiration. A result of all this respiration is heat, ａｎｄ　fｏｒflowers the level of heat relative to the mass of the flower is very high. Respiration also brings about the eventual death of the flower. Thus the greater the level of respiration, the sooner the flower dies. 4 How, then, to control the rate at which flowers die? By controlling respiration. How is respiration controlled? By controlling temperature. We know that respiration produces heat, but the reverse is also true. Thus by maintaining low temperatures, respiration is reduced ａｎｄ　the cut flower will age more slowly. 5 Another vital factｏｒin keeping cut flowers is the quality of the water in which they are placed. Flowers find it difficult to "drink" water that is dirty ｏｒotherwise polluted. Even when water looks ａｎｄ　smells clean, it almost certainly contains harmful substances that can endanger the flowers. To rid the water of these unwanted substances, household chlorine bleach (含氯漂白剂) can be used in small quantities. It is recommended that 15 drops of chlorine bleach (at 4% solution) be added to each liter of water. The water ａｎｄ　solution should also be replaced each day. Paragraph 3____【单选题】

A.Control of Respiration

B.Beauty of Fresh Cut Flowers

C.Role of Respiration

D.Most Important Aspect of Flower Care

E.Need fｏｒClean Water

F.Ways of Stopping Respiration

正确答案:C

答案解析:本段几乎都是在介绍呼吸的作用，从语篇中我们可以看到呼吸在花朵形成及死亡的过程中的作用，以及它对种子和能量的形成中的作用，选项C符合题意，故选C。

2、A Star Is Born1 The VLT (Very Large Telescope) is the world\'s largest telescope ａｎｄ　is taking astronomers further back to the Big Bang than they ever thought possible. Located 2,600 meters up to the Chilean Andes, it has four huge mirrors, each about the size of a London bus. The VLT is so powerful it can spot a burning match 10, 000 kilometers away. 2 This astonishing power will allow astronomers to see events in space from the birth of stars to the collision of galaxies on the edge of the cosmos. The VLT is giving astronomers their best ever view of the cosmos. The power of the VLT to see the smallest detail at the furthest distances makes its designers amazed. 3 Take the case of Eta Carinae, one of the most explosive stars in the universe. This star produces ultraviolet laser rays (紫外线) ａｎｄ　it will destroy itself in a few million years\' time. It is five times brighter than the sun ａｎｄ　when it explodes it is going to be a sight worth waiting for. 4 But it is at distances of millions, even billions, of light years that the VLT really shows its power. The VLT can detect light that ｓｅｔout on its journey before the earth even existed. This gives astronomers their first ever detailed views of events that took place in the earliest days of the cosmos. 5 In other words, the VLT is a kind of a time machine. It takes astronomers back to a time when complete galaxies crashed into each other. The effects of these past collisions can now be seen by scientists, ａｎｄ　astronomers believe the telescope will reveal more about these exciting events in the years to come. One day, we might be able to say we have traveled back to the beginning of time, ａｎｄ　we will have a much clearer picture of how our planet was born. The VLT will allow scientists to see events____. 【单选题】

A.its detecting power

B.millions of light years away in space

C.the location of the VLT

D.as an example

E.the birth of the earth

F.the rotation of the earth

正确答案:B

答案解析:文章第2段最后一句提到了这句话的意思。

3、Cloning: Future Perfect?1 A clone is an exact copy of a plant ｏｒanimal produced from any one cell. Since Scottish scientists reported that they had managed to clone a sheep named Dolly in 1997, research into cloning has grown rapidly. In May 1998, scientists in Massachusetts managed to create two identical calves using cloning technology. A mouse has also been cloned successfully. But the debate over cloning humans really started when Chicago physicist Richard Seed made a surprising announcement: "We will have managed to clone a human being within the next two years," he told the world. 2 Seed\'s announcement provoked a lot of media attention, most of it negative. In Europe, nineteen nations have already signed an agreement banning human cloning ａｎｄ　in the US the President announced: "We will be introducing a law to ban human cloning ａｎｄ　many states in the US will have passed anti-cloning laws by the end of the year". 3 Many researchers are not so negative about cloning. They are worried that laws banning human cloning will threaten important research. In March, The New Englａｎｄ　Journal of Medicine called any plan to ban research on cloning humans seriously mistaken. Many researchers also believe that in spite of attempts to ban it, human cloning will have become routine by 2010 because it is impossible to stop the progress of science. 4 Is there reason to fear that cloning will lead to a nightmare world? The public has been bombarded (轰炸) with newspaper articles, television shows ａｎｄ　films, as well as cartoons. Such information is often misleading, ａｎｄ　makes people wonder what on earth the scientists will be doing next. 5 Within the next five to ten years scientists will probably have found a way of cloning humans. It could be that pretty soon we will be able to choose the person that we want our child to look like. But how would it feel to be a clone among hundreds, the anti-cloners ask Pretty cool, answer the pro-cloners (赞成克隆的人). The United States will introduce____. 【单选题】

A.the nucleus of a cell

B.cloned human beings

C.a human being in two years

D.a law to ban human cloning

E.a report on human cloning

F.heavy media coverage

正确答案:D

答案解析:文章第2段最后一句提到美国通过了禁止克隆人的法律，故选D。

4、Meet Your MemoryMemory is something that cannot be seen, touched ｏｒweighed. It is thought to be abstract. It is a ｓｅｔof skills rather than an object. Neither is there a single standard fｏｒjudging a good ｏｒpoｏｒmemory. There are a number of different ways in which a person may have a "good" memory.Memory is generally viewed as consisting of three stages: (1) acquisition refers to learning the material； (2) storage refers to keeping the material in the blain until it is needed； ａｎｄ　(3) retrieval (提取) refers to getting the material back out when it is needed.Memory consists of at least two different processes: short-term memory ａｎｄ　long-term memory. Short-term memory has a limited capacity ａｎｄ　a rapid forgetting rate. Its capacity can be increased by chunking (组成大块), ｏｒgrouping separate bits of information into larger chunks. Long-term memory has an almost unlimited capacity.One measure of memory is recall, which requires you to produce information by searching the memory fｏｒit. In aided recall, you are given cues (提示) to help you produce the information. In free-recall learning, you recall the material in any order； in serial learning, you recall it in the ｏｒｃｅｒit was presented； ａｎｄ　in paired-associate learning, you learn pairs of words so that when the first word is given, you can recall the second word. A second measure of memory is recognition in which you do not have to produce the information from memory, but must be able to identify it when it is presented to you. In a third measure of memory, relearning, the difference between how long it took to learn the material the first time ａｎｄ　how long it takes to learn it again indicates how much you remember. Relearning is generally a more sensitive measure of memory than is recognition because relearning shows retention (保持) while recognition does not. Recognition is generally a more sensitive measure than recall.As a measure of memory, relearning is more sensitive than ______.【单选题】

A.short-term memory

B.relearning

C.needed

D.coded

E.recognition

F.slow forgetting rate

正确答案:E

答案解析:根据题干线索词relearning和sensitive定位原文至第四段倒数第二句：Relearning is generally a more sensitive measure of memory than is recognition...，题干对该句进行同义改写，由此推断，画线部分即为所需添加成分。而E选项recognition属于原文复现，故E为正确答案。

5、The Hurricane1. A hurricane (飓风) is a tropical storm with winds that have reached a constant speed of 74 miles per hour. Hurricane winds blow in a large spiral(螺旋) around a relative calm center known as the "eye". The "eye" is generally 20 to 30 miles wide, ａｎｄ　the storm may extend outward 400 miles. As a hurricane nears land, it can bring heavy rains, high winds ａｎｄ　storm surges(风暴潮). The storm surges ａｎｄ　heavy rains can lead to flooding.2. Hurricanes are given a different label, depending on where they occur. If they begin over the North Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, The Gulf of Mexico, ｏｒthe Northeast Pacific Ocean, they are called hurricanes. Similar storms that occur in the Northwest Pacific Ocean west of the Internaional Date Line are called typhoons near Australia ａｎｄ　in the Indian Ocean, they are referred to as tropical cyclones(龙卷风).3. When a hurricane hits land, it can do great damage through its fierce winds, heavy rains, inland(内陆的) flooding ａｎｄ　huge waves crashing on to the shore. During a hurricane, homes, businesses ａｎｄ　public buildings may be damaged ｏｒdestroyed, roads ａｎｄ　bridges can be washed away. A powerful hurricane can kill more people ａｎｄ　destroy more property than any other natural disaster. Fishermen are at special risk from hurricanes as they may be at sea when a hurricane arrives ａｎｄ　not be able to get to a safe harbｏｒif they do not receive adequate warning.4. If a hurricane is comming in your area, the most important thing is to stay calm ａｎｄ　find shelter immediately. Go to your safe room. If you do not have one, stay indoors during the hurricane ａｎｄ　go to a safer place near the center of your home. Cover yourself with a blanket ａｎｄ　be sure to keep away from windows ａｎｄ　glass doors, because if the glass breaks it’s really dangerous. Do not be fooled if there is lull(暂停), it could be the eye of the storm—winds will pick up again.Paragraph 4 ______【单选题】

A.Where do hurricanes usually happen?

B.What damages can a hurricane cause?

C.What should you do during a hurricane?

D.What is a hurricane?

E.What are different names of hurricanes?

F.How do you know a hurricane is coming?

正确答案:C

答案解析:本题难度不大，段落主旨句比较明显，在文章第四段的第一句：If a hurricane is coming in your area, the most important thing is to stay calm ａｎｄ　find shelter immediately.回来看选项，C项简单概括了第一段的主要意思，是答案。
