1、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 _____ . 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 location. 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.wind

B.energy

C.system

D.rays

正确答案:C

答案解析:现在讨论的内容是有关太阳系的宇宙空间的温度。本段第2句说到太阳对温度的影响：靠近太阳的温度高一些，远离太阳的温度就低一些。所以本题要选system。

2、New Product Will Save LivesDrinking water that looks clean may still contain bugs, which can cause illness. A small company called Genera Technologies has produced a testing method in three stages, which shows whether water is safe. The new test shows if water needs chemicals added to it, to destroy anything harmful. It was invented by scientist Dr. Adrian Patton, who started Genera five years ago. He ａｎｄ　his employees have developed the test together with a British water company.Andy Headland, Genera\'s marketing director, recently presented the test at a conference in the USA ａｎｄ　forecast good American sales fｏｒit. Genera has already sold 11 0fits tests at $42,500 a time in the UK ａｎｄ　has a further four on order. It expects to sell another 25 tests before the end of March. The company says it is the only test in the UK to be approved by the government.Genera was formed five years ago ａｎｄ　until October last year had only five employees; it now employs 14. Mr. Headlａｎｄ　believes that the company should make around $19 million by the end of the year in the UK alone.Before he ｓｅｔup Genera. Dr Parton had worked fｏｒa British water company.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:C

答案解析:原文中并没有提到公司成立前Parton是否在一家英国水厂工作，故选C。

A.Certainly

B.Probably

C.Almost

D.Absolutely

正确答案:C

答案解析:差不多所有动物都能或通过声音或通过无声的方式进行交流。本题有一定难度，虽然选项都是常用副词，但干扰项干扰较大。practically和almost都有“几乎，差不多”的意思，是近义词。A项指“肯定地”，B项指“可能”，D项指“绝对地”，最佳答案是C。

4、Geology ａｎｄ　Heap(1)The importance of particular metals in the human diet has been realized within the past few decades, ａｎｄ　the idea that geology might be related to health has been recognized fｏｒa number of elements such as iodine, zinc ａｎｄ　selenium. Fｏｒexample, soils with low iodine contents produce crops, ａｎｄ　animals deficient in iodine. A lack of iodine in the human diet leads to some serious diseases.(2)The ultimate source of metals within the human body is rocks, which weather into soil, gaining ｏｒlosing some of their chemical constituents. The crops we eat selectively remove from the soil the elements that they require fｏｒgrowth. The water we drink contains trace elements leached from rock ａｎｄ　soil. Thus the geology ａｎｄ　geochemistry of the environment have effects on the chemistry ａｎｄ　health of plants, animals ａｎｄ　people.(3)So far there is no data to suggest that people living on metal-rich soils experience a potential health hazard. The levels of metals within naturally contaminated soils are generally not high enough to cause serious health problems. Living on metal-rich soils does not represent a health risk unless large quantities of soil are digested ｏｒmetal-rich dust is inhaled. However, small children are particularly exposed to metal-rich topsoil in playgrounds ａｎｄ　gardens. They are also the most likely ones to eat potentially dangerous metal-rich soil.(4)Heavy metals are persistent: they do not break down to other chemicals in the environment. Industrially polluted sites usually undergo intensive clean-up ａｎｄ　rehabilitation because heavy metals are a health concern once they enter the food chain. Some trace metals are alleged to cause cancer ａｎｄ　are also known to cause poisoning(5)In contrast, naturally contaminated soils have not been subject too risk assessment studies ａｎｄ　rehabilitation measures, despite the fact that they frequently possess metal concentrations well above those of such polluted by humans ａｎｄ　above environmental quality criteria.(6)There is a vital need to understａｎｄ　the potential risks ａｎｄ　long-term health effects of living on naturally contaminated soils. Future environmental investigations of naturally polluted soils should concentrate on the potential pathways of metals into the food chain ａｎｄ　human body. Geologists should be part of such studies as they can provide the essential background information on rock ａｎｄ　soil chemistry as well as the chemical forms of heavy metal pollution.Paragraph 4 ______【单选题】

A.No Evidence to Indicate Bad of Naturally Contaminated Soil

B.Potential Hazards of Human Contaminated Soils

C.Research an Channels of Heavy Metals Getting into Human Food Chain

D.Geology ａｎｄ　Health Problems

E.Rocks----the Ultimate Source of Soil Pollution

F.Long-term Health Effects on Children

正确答案:B

答案解析:第4段说，受到工业污染的土壤含有重金属，而重金属很稳定，不容易降解。因此某些微量重金属能使人致癌和中毒。

5、Desirable Qualities in a TeacherHere I want to try to give you an answer to the question: What personal qualities are desirable in a teacher? Probably no two people would draw up exactly similar lists, but I think the following would be generally accepted.First, the teacher\'s personality should be pleasantly live ａｎｄ　attractive. This does not _____ people who are physically plain, ｏｒeven ugly, because many such have great personal charm. I would say that excludes all of dull ｏｒpurely negative personality. I still stick to what I said in my earlier book: that school children probably suffer more from bores than from brutes.Secondly, it is not merely desirable but essential fｏｒa teacher to have a great capacity fｏｒsympathy in the literal meaning of that word; a capacity to tune in to the minds ａｎｄ　feelings of other people, especially, since most teachers are school teachers, to the minds ａｎｄ　feelings of children. Closely related with this is the capacity to be tolerant not indeed, of what is wrong, but of frailty （脆弱) ａｎｄ　immaturity of human nature which induce people, ａｎｄ　again especially children, to make mistakes.Thirdly, I hold it essential fｏｒa teacher to be both intellectually ａｎｄ　morally honest. This does not mean being a plaster saint. It means that he will be aware of his intellectual strengths.【单选题】

A.include

B.involve

C.keep out

D.rule out

正确答案:D

答案解析:rule out意为“排除”，符合文意。而且其后也出现了这一词组。

6、Gun Rights in the USImmediately after the shooting at Virginia Tech University, Americans gathered to mourn (致哀) the dead. The president ａｎｄ　the state governer both hurried there to share the grief. But the majority of Americans still cling to their right to own weapons.Strictly speaking, the US is not the only country here gun violence has destroyed lives, families ａｎｄ　communities in everyday circumstance. But the US is one of the few countries that seem unwilling ａｎｄ　politically incapable of doing anything serious to stop it.In countries like Britain ａｎｄ　Canada, the government adopted strict gun control soon after serious gun violence incidents. US leaders, however, are held hostage by the gun lobby (院外活动集团) ａｎｄ　the electoral (选举) system.The powerful National Rifle Association, the majｏｒsupporter of gun ____ in the US, is too strong fｏｒany party to take on. Most Republicans oppose gun control anyway. Over the years, the Democrats have found that they can either campaign fｏｒgun control ｏｒwin power, not both, they prefer power.According to the US Bureau of Justice Statistics, firearm (火器) incidents accounted fｏｒnine percent of the 4.7 million violent crimes in 2005. So although opinion polls show most Americans want stricter gun laws, many people don\'t want to give up their arms they keep to protect themselves.Dave Hancock, a Virginia gun lover, is one example. In an interview he said, "If one professｏｒin the Virginia incident had been carrying a legal weapon, they might have been able to stop all this. "In his opinion, the massacre (大屠杀) is an argument fｏｒmore people to carry weapons, not fewer.Americans\' clinging to the right to bear arms is not just a fear of crime, but a mistrust of government, commented UK\'s Guardian newspaper.One Virginia resident, who had a permit to carry a concealed (隐藏的) firearm, told the Guardian that it was every American\'s responsibility to have a gun."Each person," he said, "should not rely solely on the government fｏｒprotection."【单选题】

A.fire

B.attacks

C.violence

D.rights

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题有一定难度，根据文章句意，此处是指“持枪权利”，gun rights，所以最佳答案是D。

7、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 ____ 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 from 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.contribute

B.possess

C.attract

D.develop

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题有一定难度，干扰项干扰较大，此处是说，“其他国家地区却不拥有这些自然条件”，最佳答案是B。

8、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 origins 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 ____ . 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】

A.body

B.demonstration

C.procession

D.march

正确答案:A

答案解析:根据前一句很容易就可以判断应该选procession。

10、Indian\'s NamesEach Indian was supposed to keep his birth name until he was old enough to earn one fｏｒhimself. But his playmates would always give him a name of their own. No matter what his parents called him, his childhood friends would use the name they had chosen. Often it was not pleasing, such as Bow Legs ｏｒBad Boy. But sometimes a name fit so well that the youngster found it difficult to shake it off. If he could not earn a better one from a war later, he could be stuck with a name like Bow Legs fｏｒthe rest of his life.The Indian earned his real name when he was old enough fｏｒhis first fight against the enemy. His life name depended on how he acted during this first battle. When he returned from the war, the whole tribe would gather ａｎｄ　observe the ceremony in which he would be given his name by the chief. If he had done well, he would get a good name. Otherwise he might be called Crazy Wolf ｏｒMan-Afraid-of-a Horse. So an Indian\'s name told his record ｏｒdescribed the kind of man he was.A man was given many chances to improve his name, however, if in a later battle he was brave in fighting against the enemy, he was given a better name. Some of our great fighters had as many as twelve names, all good ａｎｄ　each better than the last.An Indian\'s names belonged to him fｏｒthe rest of his life. No one else could use them. Even he himself could not give them away because names were assigned by the tribe, not the family. So no man could pass on his name unless the chief ａｎｄ　the tribe asked him to do so.Sometimes an Indian would be asked to give his name to a son who had performed a noticeable deed. I know of only three ｏｒfour times when this happened. It is the rarest honｏｒfｏｒa person -the honｏｒof assuming his father\'s name.Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?【单选题】

A.The names given by the playmates of an Indian were usually not pleasant.

B.The life name of an Indian was earned in battle.

C.An Indian could throw away his birth name when he was old enough to earn one fｏｒhimself.

D.The Indians themselves were not allowed to give their names away.

正确答案:C

答案解析:要求选出不对的项。文章第1句“supposed to keep his birth name”意思是不能丢掉出生时取的名字，因此C是错误项。
