1、The GuitarThe Museum of Fine Arts in the eastern city of Boston recently began showing a collection of guitars. The exhibit is called Dangerous Curves: The Art of the Guitar. It shows how the instrument developed during the past four centuries. Probably no other musical instrument is as popular around the world as the guitar. Musicians use the guitar fｏｒalmost every kind of music. Country ａｎｄ　western music would not be the same without a guitar. The traditional Spanish folk music called Flamenco could not exist without a guitar. The sound of American blues music would not be the same without the sad cry of the guitar. ａｎｄ　rock ａｎｄ　roll music would almost be impossible without this instrument. Music experts do not agree about where the guitar first was played. Most agree it is ancient. Some experts say an instrument very much like a guitar was played in Egypt more than a thousａｎｄ　years ago. Some other experts say that the ancestｏｒof the modern guitar was brought to Spain from Persia sometime in the twelfth century. The guitar continued to develop in Spain. In the seventeen-hundred it became similar to the instrument we know today. Many famous musicians played the instrument. The famous Italian violinist Niccolo Paganinni played ａｎｄ　wrote music fｏｒthe guitar in the early eighteen hundred. Franz Schubert used the guitar to write some ofhis famous works. One guitar in the Boston Fine Arts display was played by Les Paul. It is a very old electric guitar. Mister Parl began experimenting with ways to make an electric guitar in the nineteen-thirties. The Gibson Guitar Company began producing its famous Les Parl Guitar in 1952. The instrument has the same shape ａｎｄ　the same six strings as the traditional guitar, but it sounds very different. The guitar has always been important to blues music. The electric guitar Mister Paul helped develop made modern blues music possible. There have been many great blues guitarists. Yet, music experts say all blues guitar players are measured against one man ａｎｄ　his famous guitar. That man is B-B King. Every blues fan knows that years ago B-B King named his guitar Lucille. Lucille is so important to American music that the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D-C has asked fｏｒit. They want to display the large, beautiful black guitar in one of the museums because it is a part ofAmerican culture. Guitar is more popular than any other musical instrument in the world. 【单选题】

2、Lakes, Too, Feel Global WarmingThere\'s no doubt, In the last few decades, the average temperature on Earth has been higher than it has been in hundreds of years. Around the world, people are starting to measure the effects of global warming ａｎｄ　trying to figure out what to do about it.Scientist recently used satellites to study the temperatures of lakes around the world ａｎｄ　they found that lakes are heating up. Between 1985 ａｎｄ　2009, satellites recorded the night time temperatures of the surfaces of 167 lakes. During those 24 years, the lakes got warmer by an average of about 0.045 degree Celsius per year.In some places, lakes have been warming by as much as 0.10 degree Celsius per year. At that rate, a lake may warm by a full degree Celsius in just 10 years. That difference may seem small you might not even notice it in your bath. But in a lake, slightly warmer temperatures could mean more algae (水藻) ａｎｄ　algae can make the lake poisonous to fish.The study shows that in some regions, lakes are warming faster than the air around them. This is important because scientists often use measurements of air temperature to study how Earth is warming. By using lake temperatures as well, scientists can get a better picture of global warming. The scientists say data on lakes give scientists a new way to measure the impact of climate change around the world.That\'s going to be useful, since no matter the country is too big ｏｒtoo small can\'t ignore climate changes. Scientists aren\'t the only ones concerned. Everyone who lives on Earth is going to be affected by the rapid warming of the planet. Many world leaders believe we might be able to do something about it, especially by reducing the amount of greenhouse(温室) gases we put into the air.That\'s why the United Nations started the Framework Convention on Climate Change, ｏｒUNFCCC. Every year the convention meets, ａｎｄ　representatives from countries around the world gather to talk about climate change ａｎｄ　discuss global solutions to the challenges of a warming world.Lakes seem to be warming faster in Asia.【单选题】

3、Radiocarbon DatingNowadays scientists can answer many questions about the past through a technique called radiocarbon (放射性碳), ｏｒcarbon - 14 dating. One key to understanding how ａｎｄ　why something happened is to discover when it happened.Radiocarbon dating was developed in the late 1940s by physicist Willard F. Libby at the University of Chicago. An atom of ordinary carbon, called carbon -12, has six protons (质子) ａｎｄ　six neutrons (中子) in its nucleus (原子核). Carbon - 14, ｏｒC - 14, is a radioactive, unstable form of carbon that has two extra neutrons. It returns to a more stable form of carbon through a process called decay (衰减). This process involves the loss of the extra neutrons ａｎｄ　energy from the nucleus.In Libby\'s radiocarbon dating technique, the weak radioactive emissions(放射)from this decay process are counted by instruments such as a radiation detectｏｒａｎｄ　counter. The decay rate is used to determine the proportion of C -14 atoms in the sample being dated.Carbon - 14 is produced in the Earth\'s atmosphere when nitrogen(氮) - 14, ｏｒN - 14, interacts with cosmic rays (宇宙射线). Scientists believe since the Earth was formed, the amount of nitrogen in the atmosphere has remained constant. Consequently, C -14 formation is thought to occur at a constant rate. Now the ratio of C -14 to other carbon atoms in the atmosphere is known. Most scientists agree that this ratio is useful fｏｒdating items back to at least 50,000 years.All life on Earth is made of organic molecules (分子) that contain carbon atoms coming from the atmosphere. So all living things have about the same ratio of C -14 atoms to other carbon atoms in their tissues (组织). Once an organism (有机体) dies it stops taking in carbon in any form, ａｎｄ　the C -14 already present begins to decay. Over time the amount of C - 14 in the material decreases ａｎｄ　the ratio of C - 14 to other carbon atoms goes down. In terms of radiocarbon dating, the fewer C -14 atoms in a sample, the older that sample is.An atom of ordinary carbon has. six protons ａｎｄ　eight neutrons.【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，答案依据比较明显，主要答案依据在文章第二段第二句：An atom of ordinary carbon，called carbon - 12，has six protons ａｎｄ　six neutrons谈到普通碳原子有6个质子和6个中子，显然，题干和答案依据不符，答案是B。

4、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.Scientists are not sure how serious the effects of global warming will be.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:B

答案解析:题干大意：科学家不确定全球变暖将产生多么严重的后果。文章第三段提到：If the trend continues, scientists say, many countries will suffer...would face an even worse fate. 如果按照这个趋势继续发展，很多国家将会遭受或者面临更严重的危机。也就是说科学家们还是看到了全球变暖的严峻性。故答案选B。

All they can do is to hope that industrialized countries will take steps to reduce pollution.The heat released by burning oil ａｎｄ　coal is the direct cause of global warming.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:B

答案解析:题干大意：燃烧石油和煤放出的热量是全球变暖的直接原因。文章第二段提到：When fuels like oil ａｎｄ　coal are being burned, pollutants (污染物) are released. These pollutants trap heat in the earth\'s atmosphere. 当燃料（如石油和煤）被燃烧，释放污染物，这些污染物圈住地球大气层中的热量。这是引起全球变暖的一个原因。而题干把它范围缩小，说成直接原因，故答案选B。
