1、Some Unusual CelebrationsSome holidays are well - known all around the world. Among them are New Year\'s Eve Celebrations. Also days are common in honｏｒof love ａｎｄ　friendship, like Valentine\'s Day. Each country has its own special holidays too, to mark important events in its history. Schools, banks, ａｎｄ　government offices all close on days like these. ____ A few of them are really very strange.Of course, they are not strange to the people who celebrate them. Perhaps that is because the celebrations have long traditions. Consider April Fool\'s Day, fｏｒexample. No one knows when ｏｒwhy it began. Today it is celebrated in many countries－France, England, ａｎｄ　Australia, etc. On this day, people play practical jokes. Jokes are supposed to be funny, but these jokes do not make everyone laugh. The ones who laugh are the ones playing the jokes. The people they fool often get angry. Does celebrating this day make sense to you?Dyngus Day in Polａｎｄ　seems strange, too. On this day, it is traditional fｏｒboys to pour water over the heads of girls. Here is the strangest part: they do it to girls they like.Other unusual celebrations take place in a single city ｏｒtown. A holiday called La Tomatina is celebrated in Bunol, Spain. Every year, in late August, big trucks carry more than 200,000 pounds of tomatoes into this little town. Then begins the world\'s biggest food fight. Fｏｒtwo hours, people in the streets throw tomatoes at each other. Everyone ends up red from head to toe.August 10 marks the start of the Puck Fair, an Irish festival with a very unusual tradition. People from the town of Killorglin go up into the mountains ａｎｄ　catch a wild goat. They bring him back to town, put a crown on his head, ａｎｄ　make him king fｏｒthree days.There are also some celebrations that are really strange. In the United States, sometimes one person gets an idea fｏｒa new holiday ａｎｄ　tries to get others to accept it. Whose idea was Public Sleeping Day? That one is on February 28. It may seem strange, but it sounds like more fun than the one on February 9. That is supposed to be Toothache Day.Do you like the idea of inventing a new holiday? If you do, then you will want to mark March 26 on your calendar. That is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day.【单选题】

2、What Is the Coolest Gas in the Universe?What is the coldest air temperature ever recorded on the Earth? Where was this low temperature recorded? The coldest recorded temperature on Earth was -91℃ which occurred in Antarctica in 1983.We encounter an interesting situation when we discuss temperatures in space Temperatures in Earth orbit actually range from about +120℃ to -120℃. The temperature depends upon whether you are in direct sunlight ｏｒshade, Obviously, -120℃ is colder than our body can safely endure. Thank NASA science fｏｒwell-designed space suits that protect astronauts from these temperature extremes.The space temperatures just discussed affect only our area of the solar system . Obviously, it is hotter closer to the Sun ａｎｄ　colder as we travel away from the Sun. Astronomers estimate temperatures at Pluto are about -210℃. How cold is the lowest estimated temperature in the entire universe? Again, it depends upon your _____. We are taught it is supposedly impossible to have a temperature below absolute zero, which is -273℃, at which atoms do not move. Two scientists, whose names are Cornell ａｎｄ　Wieman, have successfully cooled down a gas temperature barely above absolute zero. They won a Nobel Prize in Physics in 2001 fｏｒtheir work not a discovery in this car.Why is the two scientists\' work so important to science?In the 1920s, Satyendra Nath Bose was studying an interesting theory about particles we now call photons. Bose had trouble convincing Other scientists to believe so he contacted Albert Einstein. Einstein\'s calculations helped him theorize would behave as Bose thought but only at very cold temperatures.Scientists have also discovered that ultra-cold atoms can help them make the world\'s atomic clocks even more accurate. These clocks are so accurate today they would only lose one second every six million years! Such accuracy will help us travel in space because distance is velocity times time(d=vxt). With the long distances involved in space travel to know time as accurately as possible to get accurate distance.【单选题】

A.education

B.status

C.knowledge

D.location

正确答案:D

答案解析:整个宇宙空间的温度是多少度呢？温度的高低取决于哪个因素呢？从四个选项分析：温度不会取决于你的education（教育）、你的status（地位）或你的knowledge（知识），因为这不合乎逻辑。只有选location（位置）才符合上下文的意思。

3、A Country\'s Standard of LivingThe "standard of living" of any country means the average person\'s share of the goods ａｎｄ　services the country produces. A country\'s standard of living, therefore, depends first on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this sense is not money, fｏｒwe do not live on money but on things that money can buy: "goods such as food ａｎｄ　clothing", ａｎｄ　"services" such as transport ａｎｄ　entertainment.A country\'s capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country\'s natural resources. Some region of the world are well supplied with coal ａｎｄ　minerals, ａｎｄ　have fertile (肥沃的) soil ａｎｄ　a favorable climate, other regions possess none of them.Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use, China is perhaps as rich as the USA in natural resources, but suffered fｏｒmany years ____ civil ａｎｄ　external wars, Fｏｒthis ａｎｄ　other reasons it was unable to develop her resources. Sound ａｎｄ　stable political conditions, ａｎｄ　freedom from foreign invasions, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully ａｎｄ　steadily, to produce more wealth than other country.A country\'s standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced ａｎｄ　consumed within its own borders, but also upon what is directly produced through international trade. Fｏｒexample, Britain\'s wealth in foodstuffs ａｎｄ　other agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible fｏｒher surplus (剩余的) manufactured goods to be traded abroad fｏｒthe agricultural products which would otherwise be lacking. A country\'s wealth is, therefore, much influenced by its manufacturing capacity, providing that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.【单选题】

A.as

B.on

C.with

D.from

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题有一定难度，干扰项干扰较大，本题考查动词短语suffer from，“遭受……”，最佳答案是D。

4、Shopping at Second - hａｎｄ　Clothing StoresWhen 33 years old Pete Barth was in college, shopping at second - hａｎｄ　clothing stores was just something he did－"like changing the tires on his car." He looked at his budget ａｎｄ　decided he could save a lot of money by shopping fｏｒclothes at thrift shops."Even new clothes are fairly disposable (用后即丢掉的) ａｎｄ　wear out after a couple of years," Barth said. "In thrift shops, you can find some great stuff whose quality is better than new clothes."Since then, Barth, who works at a Goodwill thrift shop in the US state of Florida, has found that there are all kinds of reasons fｏｒshopping fｏｒsecond - hａｎｄ　clothing. Some people, like him, shop to save money. Some shop fｏｒa crazy - looking shirt. ａｎｄ　some shop as a means of conserving energy ａｎｄ　helping the environment.Pat Akins, an accountant at a Florida Salvation Army (SA) (救世军) thrift shop, said that, fｏｒher, shopping at thrift shops is a way to help the environment."When my daughter was little, we looked at it as recycling," Akins said: "Also, why pay 30 dollars fｏｒa new coat when you can get another one fｏｒa lot less?"Akins said that the SA has shops all over the US－"some as big as department stores". All of the clothes are donated (捐赠), ａｎｄ　when they have a surplus (盈余), they\'ll have "stuff a bag" specials, where customers can fill a grocery sack with clothes fｏｒonly 5 ｏｒ10 dollars.Julia Stocum, 22, points out, however, that the huge amount of second - hａｎｄ　clothing in the US is the result of American wastefulness."I\'d say that second - hａｎｄ　stores are the result of our wasteful, materialistic culture," said Slocum, who works fｏｒa pro - conservation organization, the center of a New American Dream. "Thrift shops prevent waste from going to landfills (垃圾填埋场), They give clothing a second life ａｎｄ　provide cheaper clothing fｏｒthose who can\'t afford to buy new ones ａｎｄ　generate (创造) income fｏｒcharities. They also provide a way fｏｒthe wealthy ａｎｄ　middle classes to shed (摆脱) the guilt fｏｒtheir level of consumption."Which statement about Barth is NOT true? ____【单选题】

A.He is 33 years old now.

B.He works at a Goodwill thrift shop.

C.He works at a Salvation Army thrift shop.

D.He was a college student many years ago.

5、Ants as a Barometer of Ecological ChangeAt picnics, ants are pests. But they have their uses. In industries such as training, farming ａｎｄ　forestry, they can help gauge the health of the environment by just crawling around ａｎｄ　being antsy.It has been recognized fｏｒdecades that ants-which are highly sensitive to ecological change can provide a near-perfect barometer of the state of an ecosystem. Only certain species, fｏｒinstance, will continue to thrive at a forest site that has been cleared of trees. Others will die out fｏｒlack of food. ａｎｄ　still others will move in ａｎｄ　take up residence.By looking at which species populate a deforested area, scientists can determine how "stressed" the lａｎｄ　is. They do this by sorting the ants, counting their numbers ａｎｄ　comparing the results with those of earlier surveys. Ants are used simply because they are so common ａｎｄ　comprise so many species.Where mine sites are being restored, fｏｒexample, some ant species will recognize the stripped lａｎｄ　more quickly than others. _____. Australian mining company Capricorn Coal Management has been successfully using ant surveys fｏｒyears to determine the rate of recovery of lａｎｄ　that it is replanting near its German Creek mine in Queensland.Ant surveys also have been used with mine-site recovery projects in Africa ａｎｄ　Brazil, where warm climates encourage dense ａｎｄ　diverse ant populations. "We found it worked extremely well there," says Jonathan Majer, a professｏｒof environmental biology. Yet the surveys are perfectly suited to climates throughout Asia, he says, because ants are so common throughout the region. As Majer puts it: "That\'s the great thing about ants. "Ant surveys are so highly-regarded as ecological indicators that governments worldwide accept their results when assessing the environmental impact of mining ａｎｄ　tree harvesting. Yet in other businesses, such as farming ａｎｄ　property development, ant surveys aren\'t used widely.Why not? Because many companies can\'t afford the expense ｏｒthe laboratory time needed to sift results fｏｒa comprehensive survey. The cost stems, also, from the scarcity of ant specialists. Employing those people are expensive. 【单选题】

正确答案:A

答案解析:选项A中的ecological recovery与前面一句中的recognize相呼应，提示选项A的句子是前面句子的后续句。

6、Shopping at Second - hａｎｄ　Clothing StoresWhen 33 years old Pete Barth was in college, shopping at second - hａｎｄ　clothing stores was just something he did－"like changing the tires on his car."

7、An Early Form of Jazz MusicMusic comes in many forms; most countries have a style of their own. At the turn of the last century, when jazz was born, America had no prominent music 0f its own. No one knows exactly when was invented ｏｒby whom. But it began to be heard in the early 1890s. Jazz is America\'s contribution to popular music. In contrast to classical music, which follows formal European traditions, jazz is spontaneous ａｎｄ　free in form. It bubbles with energy, expressing the moods, interests, ａｎｄ　emotions of the people. In the 1920s\' jazz sounded like America. ａｎｄ　so it does today. The ____ 0f the music are as interesting as the music itself. American Negroes, ｏｒblacks, as they are called today, were the jazz pioneers. They were brought to the Southern states as slaves. They were sold to plantation owners ａｎｄ　forced to work long hours. When a Negro died, his friends ａｎｄ　relatives formed a procession to carry to body to the cemetery. In New Orleans, a bａｎｄ　often accompanied the body . On the way to the cemetery the bａｎｄ　played slow, solemn music, suited to the occasion. Furthermore 0n the way home the mood changed. Spirits lifted. Death had removed one of their numbers, but the living were glad to be alive . The bａｎｄ　played happy music, improvising on both the harmony ａｎｄ　the melody of the tunes played at the funeral. This music made everyone want to dance. It was an early form ofjazz. 【单选题】

9、Ceasing to Wear TiesIt\'s useless. It\'s dirty. It spreads disease. That\'s why the British Medical Association in the UK recently called fｏｒhospital doctors to stop wearing ties.That leads to another question. Why does anyone wear a tie? Ties serve no purpose. They do not cover any part of your body ａｎｄ　keep you warm. They always seem to get covered in food stains. Perhaps that is the purpose of the tie. It lets everyone know what you just ate.Ties have an odd history. Soldiers from Croatia, in Eastern Europe, served as mercenaries (雇佣军) in various conflicts in the 17th century. They were identified by brightly colored pieces of silk worn around the neck. Known as cravats(围巾), these became a popular fashion item in France ａｎｄ　eventually evolved into the tie.It\'s an interesting story, but it doesn\'t tell us why men want to put useless pieces of cloth ｏｒsilk around their necks. The answer seems to be about identification(身份证明 ). In the 19th-century Britain, ties were used by universities, military regiments (团), sports clubs, schools ａｎｄ　gentleman\'s clubs. Each tie was in a particular ｓｅｔof colors which identified the wearer as a member of that organization. Wearing ties was also the mark of Britain\'s most powerful classes. That made the tie itself a symbol of power ａｎｄ　respect. ａｎｄ　that led it to be adopted by a much larger class-the business class.You cannot wear a tie if you work with machinery, so wearing a tie became a sign that you were a man who used his brain to make a living, rather than his hands. It showed you were serious. It showed you were a professional. It meant that everyone who wanted a job in business had to wear one. It was just impossible to take seriously a man who did not wear a piece of colored silk around his neck. This is how millions of people came to wear ties across the world.Is there a future fｏｒties? The signs are not promising. Many political leaders, including British Prime Minister Tony Blair, now go without ties.The British Medical Association suggested that________.【单选题】

A.they were workmen

B.they were members of different organizations

C.hospital doctors stop wearing ties

D.who does not always wear a tie

E.who served as mercenaries in many conflicts in the 17th century

F.who does not want to live like a king

正确答案:C

答案解析:根据题干中的线索词British Medical Association可定位到第一段最后一句：That\'s why the British Medical Association in the UK recently called fｏｒhospital doctors to stop wearing ties.选项C与其表达吻合，是原文的原意复现，故C为正确答案。
