1、Some Unusual CelebrationsSome holidays are well - known all around the world. Among them are New Year\'s Eve celebrations. Also common are days in honｏｒof love ａｎｄ　friendship, like Valentine\'s Day. Each country has its own special holidays too, often 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, among others. 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 29. 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】

3、The SmogFｏｒover a month, Indonesia was in crisis. Forest fires raged out of control as the country suffered its worst drought fｏｒ50 years. Smoke from the fires mixed with sunlight ａｎｄ　hot dry air to form a cloud of smog. This pollution quickly spread ａｎｄ　within days it was hanging over neighboring countries including Malaysia, Singapore ａｎｄ　Thailand. When the smoke combined with pollution from factories ａｎｄ　cars, it soon became poisonous. Dangerous amounts of CO became trapped under the smog ａｎｄ　pollution levels rose. People wheezed (喘息) ａｎｄ　coughed as they left the house ａｎｄ　their eyes watered immediately. The smog made it impossible to see across streets ａｎｄ　whole cities disappeared as grey soot(烟灰) covered everything. In some areas, water was hosed (用胶管浇) from high-rise city buildings to try ａｎｄ　break up the smog. Finally, heavy rains, which came in November. Put out the fires ａｎｄ　clear the air. But the environmental costs ａｎｄ　health problems will remain. Many people from South-Eastern Asian cities already suffer from breathing huge amounts of car exhaust fumes ａｎｄ　factory pollution Breathing problems could well increase ａｎｄ　many non-sufferers may have difficulties fｏｒthe first time. Wildlife has suffered too. In lowlａｎｄ　forests, elephants, deer, ａｎｄ　tigers have been driven out of their homes by smog. But smog is not just an Asian problem. In fact. was world was first used in London in 1905 to describe the mixture of smoke ａｎｄ　thick fog. Fog often hung over the capital. Sometimes the smog was so thick ａｎｄ　poisonous that people were killed by breathing problems ｏｒin accidents. About 4, 000 Londoners died within five days as a result of thick smog in 1952. Water was used to try to break up the smog. 【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:A

答案解析:题句的意思是“人们用水来驱散烟雾”。第3段第2句就有这层意思，故选A。

4、A Great Quake Coming?Everyone lives in San Francisco knows that earthquakes are common in the Bay Area ａｎｄ　they can devastate. In 1906, fｏｒexample, a majｏｒquake destroyed about 28000 buildings ａｎｄ　killed hundreds, perhaps thousands of people. Residents now wonder when will the next "Big One" strike. It\'s bound to happen someday. At least seven active fault(断层) lines run through the San Francisco area. Faults are places where pieces of Earth\'s crust (地壳) slide past each other. When these pieces slip, the ground shakes.To prepare fｏｒthat day, scientists are using new techniques to reanalyze the 1906 earthquake ａｎｄ　predict how bad the damage might be when the next one happens.One new finding about the 1906 quake is that the San Andreas Fault split apart faster than scientists had assumed at the time. During small earthquakes, faults rupture(断裂) about 2.7 kilometers persecond. During bigger quakes, however, ruptures can happen faster than 3.5 kilometers persecond.At such high speeds, massive amounts of pressure build up, generating underground waves that can cause more damage than the quake itself. Lucky fｏｒSan Francisco, these pressure pulses (脉冲) traveled away from the city during the 1906 event.Looking ahead, scientists are trying to predict when the next majｏｒquake will occur. Records show that earthquakes were common before 1906. Since then, the area has been relatively quiet. Patterns in the data, however, suggest that the probability of a majｏｒearthquake striking the Bay Area before 2032 is at least 62 percent.New buildings in San Francisco are quite safe in case of future quakes. Still, more than 84 percent of the city\'s buildings are old ａｎｄ　weak. Analyses suggest that another massive earthquake would cause extensive damage.People who live there today tend to feel safe because San Francisco has remained pretty quiet fｏｒa while. According to the new research, however, it\'s not a matter that whether "the Big One" will hit here. It\'s just a matter of when.Earthquakes rarely happened in San Francisco before 1906.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题难度不大，找到答案依据不难。答案依据在第五段。第五段第二句：Records show that earthquakes were common before 1906.谈到记录显示在1906年前地震十分常见的。所以本题错误，答案是B。

5、Animal\'s "Sixth Sense"A tsunami was triggered by an earthquake in the Indian Ocean in December, 2004. It killed tens of thousands of people in Asia ａｎｄ　East Africa, Wild animals, however, seem to have escaped that terrible tsunami. This phenomenon adds weight to notions that they possess a "sixth sense" fｏｒ______, experts said.Sri Lankan Wildlife officials have said the giant waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean island\'s coast clearly missed wild beasts, with no dead animals found."No elephants are dead, not even a dead rabbit. I think animals can sense disaster. They have a sixth sense. They know when things are happening" H. D. Ratnayake, deputy directｏｒof Sri Lanka\'s Wildlife Department, said about one month after the tsunami attack. The waves washed floodwaters up to 2 miles inlａｎｄ　at Yala National Park in the ravaged southeast, Sri Lanka\'s biggest wildlife reserve ａｎｄ　home to hundreds of wild elephants ａｎｄ　several leopards."There has been a lot of scientific evidence about dogs barking ｏｒbirds migrating before volcanic eruptions ｏｒearthquakes. But it has not been proven," said Matthew van Lierop, an animal behaviｏｒassistant at Johannesburg Zoo. "There have been no specialist studies because you can\'t really test it in a lab ｏｒfield setting," he told Reuters. Other authorities concurred with this assessmetn."Wildlife seem to be able to pick up certain phenmenon, especially birds. There are many reports of birds detecting impending disasters," said Clive Walker, who has written several books on African wildlife.Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell ｏｒhearing to avoid danger such as predators. The notion of an animal "sixth sense" -ｏｒsome other mythical power-is an enduring one which the evidence on Sri Lanka\'s ravaged coast is likely to add to. The Romans saw owls as omens of impending disaster ａｎｄ　many ancient cultures viewed elephants as sacred animals endowed with special powers ｏｒattributes.【单选题】

A.shelters

B.foods

C.disasters

D.water

正确答案:C

答案解析:上文说的是海啸是一种自然灾害，所以six sense范围只能是diseases，不能是shelters，foods或water。

6、Why Would They Falsely Confess?Why on earth would an innocent person falsely confess to committing a crime? To most people, it just doesn\'t seem logical. But it is logical, say experts, if you understａｎｄ　what can happen in a police interrogation room.Under the right conditions, people\'s minds are susceptible to influence, ａｎｄ　the pressure put on suspects during police grilling is enormous. "It\'s a little like somebody\'s working on them with a dental drill," says Franklin Zimring, a law professｏｒat the University of California at Berkeley. "The pressure is important to understand, because otherwise it\'s impossible to understａｎｄ　why someone would say he did something he didn\'t do. The answer is: to put an end to an uncomfortable situation that will continue until he does confess."Developmental psychologist Allison Redlich recently conducted a laboratory study to determine how likely people are to confess to things they didn\'t do. In her experiment, participants were seated at computers ａｎｄ　told not to hit the "alt" key, because doing so would crash the systems. The researchers then intentionally crashed the computers ａｎｄ　accused the participants of hitting the "alt" key to see if they would sign a statement falsely taking responsibility.Redlich\'s findings clearly demonstrate how easy it can be to get people to falsely confess: 59 percent of the young adults in the experiment immediately confessed. Redlich also found that the younger the participant, the more likely a false confession. Of the 15-to 16-year-olds, 72 percent signed confessions, as did 78 percent of the 12-to 13-year-olds."There\'s no question that young people are more at risk," says Saul Kassin, a psychology professｏｒat Williams College, who has done similar studies with similar results, "But adults are highly vulnerable too."Both Kassin ａｎｄ　Redlich note that the entire "interrogation" in their experiments consisted of a simple accusation-not hours of aggressive questioning-ａｎｄ　still, most participants falsely confessed.Because of the stress of a police interrogation, they conclude, suspects can become convinced that falsely confessing is the easiest way out of a bad situation. ______【单选题】

A.In her experiment, participants were seated at computers ａｎｄ　told not to hit the "alt" key, because doing so would crash the systems.

B."In some ways," says Kassin, "false confession becomes a rational decision."

C."It\'s a little like somebody\'s working on them with a dental drill," says Franklin Zimring, a law professｏｒat the University of California at Berkeley.

D."But adults are highly vulnerable too."

E.How could an innocent person admit to doing something he didn\'t do?

F.Redlich also found that the younger the participant, the more likely a false confession.

正确答案:B

答案解析:由于审讯室的巨大压力，嫌疑人很可能为了逃离那种环境而承认自己本没有做过的事。因此，Kassin说，从某种程度上看，错误的妥协在那种情况下是一种理性的选择。

7、Genetically Modified FoodEuropean ｕｎｉｏｎenvironmental officials have determined that two kinds of genetically modified corn could harm butterflies, affect food chains ａｎｄ　disturb life in rivers ａｎｄ　streams, ａｎｄ　they have proposed a ban on the sale of the seeds, which are made by Dupont Pioneer, Dow Agrosciences ａｎｄ　Syngenta. The preliminary decisions are circulating within the European Commission, which has the final say. Some officials there are skeptical of a ban that would upｓｅｔthe powerful biotechnology industry ａｎｄ　could exacerbate tensions with important trading partners like the United States. The seeds are not available on the European market fｏｒcultivation.In the decisions, the environment commissioner, Stavros Dimas, contends that the genetically modified corn, ｏｒmaize could affect certain butterfly species, specifically the monarch, ａｎｄ　other beneficial insects. Fｏｒinstance, research this year indicates that larvae of the monarch butterfly exposed to the genetically modified corn "behave differently than other larvae." In the decision concerning the corn seeds produced by Dow ａｎｄ　Pioneer, Mr. Dimas calls "potential damage on the environment irreversible." In the decision on Syngenta\'s corn, he says that "the level of risk generated by the cultivation of this product fｏｒthe environment is unacceptable."A decision by the European ｕｎｉｏｎto bar cultivation of the genetically modified crops would be the first of its kind in the trade bloc, ａｎｄ　would intensify the continuing battle over genetically modified corn. Banning the applications fｏｒcorn crops also would mark a bold new step fｏｒEuropean environmental authorities, who are already aggressively pursuing regulations on emissions from cars ａｎｄ　aircraft, setting it at odds with the United States ａｎｄ　angering industries."These products have been grown in the U. S. ａｎｄ　other countries fｏｒyears," said Stephen Norton, a spokesman fｏｒthe United States trade representative. "We are not aware of any other case when a product has been rejected after having been reviewed ａｎｄ　determined safe by European food safety authorities," he said.Barbara Helfferich, a spokeswoman fｏｒMr. Dimas, declined to comment on the specifics of the procedure because commissioners had not yet made a final decision. But she said that the European ｕｎｉｏｎwas within its rights to make decisions based on the "precautionary principle" even when scientists had found no definitive evidence proving products can cause harm. She said that the decisions by Mr. Dimas could go before the commission within a few weeks, but she said that no date had been set. In the decisions, Mr. Dimas cited recent research showing that consumption of genetically modified corn byproducts reduced growth ａｎｄ　increased mortality of non-target stream insects ａｎｄ　that these insects are important prey fｏｒaquatic ａｎｄ　riparian predators ａｎｄ　that this could have unexpected ecosystem-scale consequences."Although still preliminary, his decisions could drastically tilt the policy against future approvals of genetically modified crops," said Nathalie Moll, a spokeswoman fｏｒEuropabio, an industryｇｒｏｕｐwith 80 members including Syngenta, Pioneer ａｎｄ　Dow. Europabio says that the crops grown using the genetically modified corn are already imported into several European countries, including France ａｎｄ　Germany, where they are used to feed animals like cows ａｎｄ　chickens.Rob Gianfranceschi, spokesman at the United States mission to the European ｕｎｉｏｎin Brussels, said it was too early to comment on a decision that had not yet been formalized. But he made clear that the United States remained frustrated with European policies on genetically modified crops.Mr. Dimas cited many researches on the genetically modified corn in his decision in ｏｒｃｅｒto ______.【单选题】

A.dispel some officials\' doubt on his decisions

B.enhance the strength of his decision-making

C.demonstrate the latest achievement of his decision

D.assure that they can be presented before the commission with solid evidence

正确答案:B

答案解析:细节考查题。Dimas先生在其拟定的决议中多次引用了关于转基因产品的研究，其目的是证实自己的决议是有根据的，这样就更有说服力。

8、I was shocked when I saw the size of the telephone bill.【单选题】

A.excited

B.angry

C.lost

D.surprised

正确答案:D

9、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 colｏｒ- changing material. It will turn red before a structure collapses ｏｒfalls apart.The secret behind the colｏｒ- changing material is a particular type of molecule (分子). A molecule is aｇｒｏｕｐof atoms (原子) held together by chemical bonds. Molecules come in 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 colｏｒ- changing molecule called a mechanophore (机械响应性聚合物) is about to break, it produces 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 colｏｒ- changing polymers in their lab. The test results proved encouraging.There is a way to get rid of the red colｏｒlight. When a bright light is shone on the mechanophore, the broken bond is fixed ａｎｄ　the red colｏｒdisappears. Thus "self - healing" may be a problem fｏｒengineers. They need to use the colｏｒ- changer in big construction projects that will be outside, under sunlight. ａｎｄ　sunlight will make the mechanophore\'s warning system useless.Sottos ａｎｄ　her fellow scientists still have _____ work to do before the colｏｒ- changing molecules can be used outside the lab.【单选题】

A.a pair of

B.a type of

C.a lot of

D.a part of

正确答案:C

答案解析:本题难度不大，考查词义辨析。文章此处是说“Sottos和同事们还有很多工作要做”，答案是C。

10、My doctｏｒsaid I should vary my diet more【单选题】
