1、The Threat to KiribatiThe people of Kiribati are afraid that one day in the not-too-distant future, their country will disappear from the face of the earth-literally. Several times this year, the Pacific islａｎｄ　nation has been flooded by a sudden high tide. These tides, which swept across the islａｎｄ　ａｎｄ　destroyed houses, came when there was neither wind nｏｒrain. "This never happened before," say the older citizens of Kiribati.What is causing these mysterious high tides? The answer may well be global warming. When fuels like oil ａｎｄ　coal are being burned, pollutants (污染物) are released. These pollutants trap heat in the earth\'s atmosphere. Warmer temperatures cause water to expａｎｄ　ａｎｄ　also create more water by melting glaciers (冰川) ａｎｄ　polar (极地的) ice caps.If the trend continues, scientists say, many countries will suffer, Bangladesh, fｏｒexample, might lose one-fifth of its land. The coral (珊瑚) islａｎｄ　nations of the Pacific, like Kiribati ａｎｄ　the Marshall Islands, however, would face an even worse fate-they would be swallowed by the sea. The loss of these coral islands would be everyone\'s loss. Coral formations are home to more species than any other place on earth.The people of these nations feel frustrated. The sea, on which their economies have always been based, is suddenly threatening their existence. They don\'t have the money fｏｒexpensive technological solutions like seawalls. ａｎｄ　they have no control over the pollutants, which are being released mainly by activities in large industrialized countries. All they can do is to hope that industrialized countries will take steps to reduce pollution.Some industrialized countries are unwilling to spend money in reducing pollution.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:C

答案解析:题干大意：一些工业化国家不愿意花钱减少污染。文章最后一句提到：All they can do is to hope that industrialized countries will take steps to reduce pollution. 所有他们能做的就是希望工业化国家能采取措施减少污染。但是这并没有说明工业化国家不愿意花钱减少污染。故答案选C。

2、Houses of the FutureWhat will houses be like in thirty years\' time? No one really knows, but architects are trying to predict. What will our home be like then?Future houses will have to be flexible. In thirty years\' time even more of us will be working from home. So we will have to be able to use areas of the house fｏｒwork fｏｒpart of the day ａｎｄ　fｏｒliving fｏｒthe rest. Families grow ａｎｄ　change with children arriving, growing up ａｎｄ　leaving home. The house of the future will have to grow ａｎｄ　change with the family. Nothing will be as fixed as it is now. The house will always be changing to meet changing needs.Everyone agrees that in thirty years\' time we will be living in "intelligent" houses. We will be able to talk to our kitchen machines ａｎｄ　discuss with them what to do. Like this, "We\'ll be having a party this weekend. What food shall we cook?" ａｎｄ　the machine will tell us what food we will have to buy ａｎｄ　how to cook it. We will be able to leave most of the cooking to the machines, just tasting things from time to time to check.The house of the future will be personal, each house will be different. You will be able to change the colｏｒof the wall easily.You won\'t have to paint them-you\'ll be able to tell the wall to change the color! ａｎｄ　if you don\'t like the colｏｒthe next day, you will be able to have a new one. _____!【单选题】

A.You will be able to change the colｏｒof the wall easily.

B.The only thing you won\'t be able to do is move the house somewhere else!

C.ａｎｄ　the machine will tell us what food we will have to buy ａｎｄ　how to cook it.

D.What will our home be like then?

E.The house of the future will have to grow ａｎｄ　change with the family.

F.The kids might take their bedrooms with them as they leave.

4、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.On a clear night, people can see ______.【单选题】

A.150 stars

B.hundreds of stars

C.one thousａｎｄ　stars

D.more than 14,000 stars

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题难度不大，答案依据比较明显，在文章第一段第二句，这句话主要谈到，在晴朗的夜晚人们能看到14，000多颗星星，回来看选项，D项符合原文句意，是答案。

5、Seeing Red Means Danger AheadThe colｏｒred often means danger ａｎｄ　by paying attention, accidents can be prevented. In the future, the colｏｒred also may help prevent danger at construction sites. Thanks to new work by engineers, bridge supports ｏｒother kinds of materials could one day contain a colｏｒswitching material. It will turn red before a structure collapses ｏｒfalls apart. The secret behind the colｏｒswitching material is a particular type of molecule. A molecule is aｇｒｏｕｐof atoms held together by chemical bonds. Molecules come at all shapes ａｎｄ　sizes, ａｎｄ　make up everything. You can see, touch ｏｒfeel. How a molecule behaves depends on what kinds of atoms it contains, ａｎｄ　how they\'re held together. When a polymer (聚合物) containing a colｏｒswitching molecule called a mechanophore (机械响应性聚合物) which is about to break, it produce a color. When a polymer with mechanophore molecules becomes "injured" ｏｒweak, one of the mechanophore bonds breaks ａｎｄ　the material turns red. "It\'s a really simple detection method. "says Nancy Sottos, one of the scientists who worked on the project. Sottos ａｎｄ　her team tested the colｏｒswitching polymers in their lab. The test results proved encouraging. There is a way to get rid of the colｏｒlight when a bright light is shone on the mechanophore. The broken bond is fixed ａｎｄ　the red colｏｒ______. This "self-healing" may be a problem fｏｒengineers. They need to use the colｏｒchanger in big construction projects that will be outside in sunlight. ａｎｄ　sunlight will make the mechanophore\'s warming system useless. Sottos ａｎｄ　her fellow scientists still have a lot of work to do before the colｏｒswitching molecules can be used outside the lab. 【单选题】

A.repairs

B.controls

C.finishes

D.disappears

正确答案:D

答案解析:前文说断裂的联系从新凝合，那么红色相对应的，就应是消失、褪去。

6、AirbusDespite bulging ｏｒｃｅｒbooks, the mood at Airbus ａｎｄ　Boeing is far from celebratory. Both aviation giants are moaning loudly that their production systems ａｎｄ　supply chains are flawed, albeit fｏｒostensibly different reasons. This week Louis Gallois, the boss of EADS, the Franco-German aerospace consortium that owns Airbus, added substance to warnings a week earlier by the planemaker’s chief executive, Tom Enders, that the dollar\'s decline was "life-threatening" fｏｒthe firm. Mr. Gallois said it was no longer just a possibility that Airbus would have to move a large part of its production to "the dollar zone" ｏｒlow-cost countries, but a certainty.Airbus is already in the middle of Power 8, a big restructuring plan that involves the loss of 10,000 jobs ａｎｄ　the sale of several plants, which is meant to offｓｅｔthe losses caused by the delays in delivering the A380 superjumbo. But Power 8 assumed that a euro was worth $ 1.35, not today\'s $ 1.47. Mr. Gallois estimates that each 10-cent rise in the euro costs Airbus 1 billion. At present, Airbus makes 76% of its purchases within Europe, but generates over 60% of its sales elsewhere. It must now shift some production abroad.Airbus is now likely to forge ahead much further. Mr. Gallois suggests that when the A350 enters service in 2013, 70% of it will have been "purchased" in dollars, against 50% fｏｒthe A380 ａｎｄ　an average 24% of Airbus production today. Because Airbus insists that some of its European suppliers price in dollars that means about 50% of the A350\'s production will be outsourced. New aircraft, such as the A320\'s successor, may be made almost entirely outside the euro-zone.Airbus maintains that exchange rates are not the only reason fｏｒoutsourcing: it is keen to tap into composite-manufacturing expertise wherever it exists. It also insists that it will not repeat the mistakes Boeing has made with its new 787 Dreamliner, about 80% of which has been outsourced. A few weeks ago Mike Bair, the executive responsible fｏｒthe 787 programme, who was recently moved sideways after mounting production delays, launched a withering attack on some of the companies recruited to build the plane. He said that in future Boeing would not entrust design work to partners who "proved incapable of doing it", ａｎｄ　would make suppliers build factories close to Boeing\'s main assembly operation, rather than flying semi-finished sections of the aircraft round the world on huge Dreamlifter transporters.It is too early to conclude that the two rivals are heading in opposite directions- Boeing renouncing the global supply chain just as Airbus adopts it. Each company has its own axe to grind. Airbus needs greater flexibility, ａｎｄ　the weak dollar provides helpful cover as it takes on its grumbling unions. Boeing, fｏｒits part, wants to shift the blame fｏｒdelays to the 787 on to its partners. The logic of global outsourcing in the aerospace industry remains powerful. Whatever they may be saying now. Airbus ａｎｄ　Boeing are more likely to converge than to diverge.Why Airbus ａｎｄ　Boeing are more likely to converge than to diverge?【单选题】

A.Boeing quits the global supply chain while Airbus adopts it.

B.Both of them need to adopt greater flexibility in the working process.

C.Both of them need to make their foreign purchases ａｎｄ　outsourcing more skillful ａｎｄ　powerful.

D.Both of them have to take measures to deal with problems caused by weak dollar.

正确答案:C

答案解析:细节考查题。题干考查的是为什么说两个公司是向同一个方向会合而不是兵分两路。两个公司的说法虽然不同，但它们终究还是需要进行海外采购，而海外采购需要有所改进，分别都要改进灵活性并且使海外采购变得更加强大。因此向同一个方向会合而不是兵分两路是就海外采购这方面而言的，故正确答案为C。

7、WaterThe second most important constituent (构成成份) of the biosphere (生物圈) is liquid water. This can only exist in a very narrow range of temperatures, since water freezes at 0℃ ａｎｄ　boils at 100℃. Life as we know it would only be possible on the surface of a planet which had temperatures somewhere within this narrow range.The earth\'s supply of water probably remains fairly constant in quantity. The total quantity of water is not known very accurately, but it is about enough to cover the surface of the globe to a depth of about two ａｎｄ　three - quarter kilometers. Most of it is in the form of the salt water of the oceans about 97 percent. The rest is fresh, but three -quarters of this is in the form of ice at the Poles ａｎｄ　on mountains, ａｎｄ　cannot be used by living systems until melted. Of the remaining fraction, which is somewhat less than one percent of the whole, there is 10 -20 times as much stored underground water as there is actually on the surface. There is also a tiny, but extremely important fraction of the water supply which is present as water vapour in the atmosphere.Water vapour in the atmosphere is the channel through which the whole water circulation (循环) of the biosphere has to pass. Water evaporated (蒸发) from the surface of the oceans, from lakes ａｎｄ　rivers ａｎｄ　from moist (潮湿的) earth is added to it. From it the water comes out again as rain ｏｒsnow, falling on either the sea ｏｒthe land. There is, as might be expected, a more intensive evaporation per unit area over the sea ａｎｄ　oceans than over the land, but there is more rainfall over the lａｎｄ　than over the oceans ａｎｄ　the balance is restored by the runoff from the lａｎｄ　in the form of rivers.Most of the flesh water on Earth ______.【单选题】

A.is stored underground

B.is in the form of ice at the Poles ａｎｄ　on mountains

C.is found in rivers ａｎｄ　lakes

D.comes from the rain

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题有一定难度，需要认真读懂文章句意，答案依据比较明显，在文章第二段第四句，谈到剩下1/3的淡水以冰的形式存在在南北两极和高山上，回来看选项，B项是其近义解释，所以正确，答案是B。

8、The chairman proposed that we stop the meeting.【单选题】

A.stated

B.announced

C.demanded

D.suggested

正确答案:D

答案解析:主席建议我们中止会议。本题难度不大，考查的是基本意义，干扰项干扰不大。propose和suggest都有“建议”的意思，是近义词，A项指“陈述”，B项指“宣布”，C项指“要求”和答案意义差异大，最佳答案是D。

9、HalloweenHalloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means "holy evening", ａｎｄ　it comes every October 31, the evening before All-Saints Day. It used to be thought the most wonderful night of the year. It was the night when witches ａｎｄ　evil spirits came back on earth. People kept up many strange old customs in an effort to keep these evil things away. Farmers used to light big fires in their fields, ａｎｄ　the farm workers ａｎｄ　their families would walk around the fields singing old songs. Sometimes they would stop to hear the local priest offer prayers to the good spirits, ａｎｄ　ask them to help keep the evil ones away. Great care was taken that none of the farm animals were left in the fields. They would all be locked up safely in their stables, ａｎｄ　over each of the stable doors a few rowan leaves would be hung. Witches ａｎｄ　evil spirits would not go anywhere near the rowan tree. In more recent times, Halloween has become a time fｏｒthe parties, when children dress up as witches ａｎｄ　play all kinds of special games. After the games there is often a big supper with plenty of pumpkin pie, cakes ａｎｄ　a lot of other delicious things to eat. But fｏｒthe most part the children enjoy the fun of dressing up ａｎｄ　playing their favorite game of "Trick ｏｒTreat". They run down each street knocking on the doors crying loudly "Trick ｏｒTreat! Money ｏｒeat!", ａｎｄ　most people have some sweets ｏｒmoney ready to give them. Those that do not can expect maybe to have a tyre flattened, ｏｒtheir windows covered in soap. ｏｒthe children may just knock on the doｏｒａｎｄ　run away. Some children think of other people on Halloween. They carry boxes fｏｒUNICEF (The United Nations International Children\'s Emergency Fund). They ask fｏｒmoney to help poｏｒchildren all around the world. Of course, every time they help UNICEF, they usually receive a treat fｏｒthemselves, too. Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins ａｎｄ　put lights inside. It looks like there is a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o\'-lanterns, which means "Jack of the lantern". But in this modern age many of the pumpkins are being replaced with plastic electric ones that can be brought out each year. The authｏｒwrote this text in ｏｒｃｅｒto____.【单选题】

A.introduce Halloween to readers.

B.ask readers to offer money to help poｏｒchildren.

C.show the fact that plastic electric pumpkins will replace the real ones.

D.welcome people to U. S. A to celebrate Halloween.

正确答案:A

答案解析:作者从时间、传说、庆祝的方式、发展过程一直写到今天人们利用这个节日募捐帮助别人，使读者对这个节日有了充分的了解。因此答案是A。

10、Citizen ScientistsUnderstanding how nature responds to climate change will require monitoring key life cycle event-flowering, the appearance of leaves, the first frog calls of the spring all around the world. But ecologists can\'t be everywhere so they\'re turning to non-scientists, sometimes called citizen scientists, fｏｒhelp. Climate scientists are not present everywhere. Because there are so many places in the world ａｎｄ　not enough scientists to observe all of them, they\'re asking fｏｒyour help in observing signs of climate change across the world. The citizen scientist movement encourages ordinary people too observe a very specific research interest-birds, trees, flowers budding, etc. ａｎｄ　send their observations to a giant ｄａｔａｂａｓｅ to be observed by professional scientists. This helps a small number of scientists track a large amount of data that they would never be able to gather on their own. Much like citizen journalists helping large publications cover a hyper-local beat, citizen scientists are ready fｏｒthe conditions where they live. All that\'s needed to become one is a few minutes each day ｏｒeach week to gather data ａｎｄ　send it in. Aｇｒｏｕｐof scientists ａｎｄ　educators launched an organization last year called the National Phenology Network. "Phenology" is what scientists call the study of the timing of events in nature. One of the group\'s first efforts relies on scientists ａｎｄ　non-scientists alike to collect data about plant flowering ａｎｄ　leafing every year. The program, called Project BudBurst, collects life cycle data on a variety of common plants from across the United States. People participating in the project which is open to everyone record their observations on the Project BudBurst website. "People don\'t have to be plant experts, they just have to look around ａｎｄ　see what\'s in their neighborhood," says Jennifer Schwartz, an education consultant with the project. "As we collect this data, we\'ll be able to make an estimate of how plants ａｎｄ　communities of plants ａｎｄ　animals will respond as the climate changes. "What are citizen scientists asked to do?【单选题】

A.To develop a specific research interest ａｎｄ　become professional scientists.

B.To send their research observations to a professional ｄａｔａｂａｓｅ.

C.To increase their knowledge about climate change.

D.To keep a record of their research observations.

正确答案:B

答案解析:根据send their observations to a giant ｄａｔａｂａｓｅ to be observed by professional scientists可知。
