1、Arctic MeltEarth\'s North and South Poles are famous forbeing cold and icy. Last year, however, the amount of ice in the Arctic Ocean (北冰群) fell to a record low.Normally, ice builds in Arctic waters around the North Pole each winter and shrinks(缩小) during the summer. But formany years, the amount of ice left by the end of summer has been declining.Since 1979, each decade has seen an 11.4 percent drepin end of summer ice cover. Between 1981 and 2000, ice in the Arctic lost 22 percent of its thickness, becoming 1.13 meters thinner.Last summer, Arctic sea ice reached its thinnest levels. By the end of summer 2007, the ice had shrunk to cover just 4.2 million square kilometers. That\'s 38 percent less area than the average cover at that time of year. and it\'s a very large 23 percent below the previous record low, which was setjust 2 years ago. This continuing trend has made scientists concerned to.There may be several reasons forthe ice melt, says Jinlun Zhang, an oceanographer (海洋学家)at the University of Washington in Seattle. Unusually strong winds blew through the Arctic last summer. The winds pushed much of the ice out of the central Arctic, leaving a large area of thin ice and open water.Scientists also suspect that fewer clouds cover the Arctic now than in the past. Clearer skies allow more sunlight to reach the ocean. The extra heat warms both the water and the atmosphere. In parts of the Arctic Ocean last year, surface temperatures were 3.57 Celsius warmer than the average and 1.5c warmer than the previous record.With both air and water getting warmer, the ice is melting from both above and below. In some parts of the Beaufort Sea, north of Alaska and western Canada, ice that measured 3.3 meters thick at the beginning of the summer was measured just 50 cm by season\'s endThe new measurements suggest that melting is far more severe than the thinking of scientists. Some scientists fear that the Arctic is stuck in a warming trend.The word "builds" in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by ______【单选题】

A.establishes

B.expands

C.creates

D.constructs

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题难度不大,文章此处build的引申意义指“(冰层)加厚”,选项中expands是其近义解释,答案是B。

2、Light Night, Dark StarsThousands of people around the globe step outside to gaze at their night sky. On a clear night, with no clouds, moonlight, orartificial lights to block the view, people can see more than 14,000 stars in the sky, says Dennis Ward, an astronomer(天文学家) with the University Corporation forAtmospheric Research( UCAR) in Boulder, Colo. But when people are surrounded by city lights, he says, they\'re lucky to see 150 stars.If you\'ve ever driven toward a big city at night and seen its glow from a great distance, you\'ve witnessed light pollution. It occurs when light from streetlights, office buildings, signs, and other sources streams into space and illuminates (照亮) the night sky. This haze (朦胧) of light makes many stars invisible to people on Earth. Even at night, big cities like New York glow from light pollution, making stargazing difficult.Dust and particles of pollution factories and industries worsen the effects of light pollution. "If one city has a lot more light pollution than another," Ward says, "that city will suffer the effects of light pollution on a much greater scale."Hazy skies also make it far more difficult forastronomers to do their jobs.Cities are getting larger. Suburbs are growing in once dark, rural areas. Light from all this new development is increasingly obscuring (使变模糊) the faint (微弱的) light give off by distant stars. and if scientists can\'t locate these objects, they can\'t learn more about them.Light pollution doesn\'t only affect star visibility. It can harm wild life too. It\'s clear that artificial light can attract animals, making them go off course. There\'s increasing evidence, forexample, that migrating (迁徙) birds use sunsets and sunrises to help find their way, says Sydney Gauthreaux Jr. , a scientist at Clemson University in South Carolina, "When light occurs at night," he says, "it has a very disruptive (破坏性的) influence." Sometimes birds fly into lighted towers, high - rises, and cables from radio and television towers. Experts estimate that millions of birds die this way every year.Light pollution occurs when ______.【单选题】

A.artificial lights illuminate the night sky

B.the moon lights up the night sky

C.too many stars are visible in the night sky

D.streetlights are turned off

正确答案:A

答案解析:本题难度不大,答案依据比较明显,在文章第二段第二句,谈到当来自街灯等人工灯光射入天空时,就会发生光污染,回来看选项,A项符合原文句意,是答案。

3、Academic papers are often part of a university\'s official file and can neither be returned to students norduplicated. 【单选题】

A.borrowed

B.copied

C.purchased

D.destroyed

正确答案:B

答案解析:duplicate和copy都表示“复印、复制”;borrow:借入、借用;purchase:购买、购置;destroy:破坏、毁坏、消灭、摧毁。

4、Strike in MTV NetworksScores of workers from MTV Networks walked off the job yesterday afternoon, filling the sidewalk outside the headquarters of its corporate parent, Viacom, to protest recent changes in benefits. The walkout highlighted the concerns of a category of workers who are sometimes called permalancers: permanent freelancers who work like full-time employees but do not receive the same benefits.Waving signs that read "Shame on Viacom", the workers, most of them in their 20s, demanded that MTV Networks reverse a plan to reduce health and dental benefits forfreelancers beginning Jan. 1. In a statement, MTV Networks noted that its benefits program forfull-time employees had also undergone changes, and it emphasized that the plan forfreelancers was still highly competitive within the industry. Many freelancers receive no corporate benefits. But some of the protesters asserted that corporations were competing to see which could provide the most mediocre health care coverage. Matthew Yonda, who works at Nickelodeon, held a sign that labeled the network "Sick-elodeon". "I\'ve worked here every day forthree years-I\'m not a freelancer," Mr. Yonda said. "They just call us freelancers in orcerto bar us from getting the same benefits as employees."The changes to the benefits package were announced last Tuesday. Freelancers were told that they would become eligible forbenefits after 160 days of work, beginning in January. While that eased previous eligibility rules, which required freelancers to work for52 weeks before becoming eligible, it would have required all freelancers not yet eligible forbenefits to start the waiting period over again on Jan. 1. The 401 (k) plan was also removed On Thursday, acknowledging the complaints, MTV Networks reinstated the 401 (k) plan and said freelancers who had worked consistently since March would be eligible.Fueled by a series of blog posts on the media web site Gawker-the first post was headlined "The Viacom Permalance Slave System" -a loose cohort of freelancers created protest stickers and distributed walkout fliers last week. Caroline O\'Hare, a unit manager who has worked forMTV formore than two years, said the new health care plan-with higher deductibles and a $ 2,000 cap on hospital expenses each year-had provoked outrage. "They think they can treat us like children that don\'t have families, mortgages ordreams of retirement," she said.Outside Viacom\'s headquarters, several workers held posters with the words, "There\'s too many of us to ignore." It was unclear how many freelancers are on the company\'s payroll; an MTV Networks spokeswoman said the figure was not known because it rises and falls throughout the year. The company has 5,500 full-time employees, excluding freelancers, around the world.Two freelancers and one full-time employee, who asked not to be identified forfear of retribution, estimated that the percentage of freelancers in some departments exceeded 75 percent. Another laboraction is expected to take place outside Viacom later this week. Members of the Writers Guild of America, who have been on strike forfive weeks, are expected to picket there on Thursday.The MTV Networks spokeswoman did not provide the number of freelancers on the payroll mostly probably because ______.【单选题】

A.the figure fluctuates throughout the year and it is impossible to calculate the precise number

B.the company wants to keep it as a secret so as to better stand the protest

C.the company has no record of the freelancers since there is no such necessity

D.the company does not want to provide the freelancers with benefits enjoyed by the full-time employee

正确答案:B

答案解析:细节考查题。题干问的是MTV网络发言人没有提供薪水册上自由职业者的数量的最有可能的原因。答案参见第五段,MTV网络发言人声称这个数字全年都来回波动,但实际上公司掌握自己员工的具体数量应该很容易,很明显是因为公布该数据对公司不利,不想让外人知道,以便在这场罢工斗争中占据优势地位。

5、Better Control of TB Seen if a Faster Cure is FoundThe World Health Organization estimates that about one-third of all people are infected with bacteria that cause tuberculosis. Most times, the infection remains inactive. But each year about eight million people develop active cases of TB, usually in their lungs. Two million people die of it. The disease has increased with the spread of AIDS and drug-resistant forms of tuberculosis. Current treatments take at least six months. Patients have to take a combination of several antibiotic drugs daily. But many people stop ______ they feel better. Doing that can lead to an infection that resists treatment. Public health experts agree that a faster-acting cure fortuberculosis would be more effective. Now a study estimates just how effective it might be. A professorof international health at Harvard University led the study. Joshua Salomon says a shorter treatment program would likely mean not just more patients cured. It would also mean fewer infectious patients who can pass on their infection to others. The researchers developed a mathematical model to examine the effects of a two-month treatment plan. They tested the model with current TB conditions in Southeast Asia. The scientists found that a two-month treatment could prevent about twenty percent of new cases. and it might prevent about twenty-five percent of TB deaths. The model shows that these reductions would take place between two thousand twelve and two thousand thirty. That is, if a faster cure is developed and in wide use by two thousand twelve. The World Health Organization developed the DOTS program in nineteen ninety. DOTS is Directly Observed Treatment, Short-course. Health workers watch tuberculosis patients take their daily pills to make sure they continue treatment. Earlier this year, an international partnership of organizations announced a plan to expand the DOTS program. The ten-year plan also aims to finance research into new TB drugs. The four most common drugs used now are more than forty years old. The Global Alliance forTB Drug Development says its long-term goal is a treatment that could work in as few as ten doses.【单选题】

A.as if

B.as though

C.as far as

D.as soon as

正确答案:D

答案解析:答题时请注意句首的But这个词,与上句意思发生转折。4个选项中as if、as though都是“仿佛,宛如”的意思,as far as则是“至于……,就……而言”的意思,填在这里均不合适,只有as soon as(一……就……)才恰当。
