1、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 ______ 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 colｏｒdisappears. 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.until

B.although

C.after

D.before

正确答案:D

答案解析:本句意为当建筑物要倒塌时，它会变成红色。那么按照逻辑推理，应该是倒塌前变红色才会起作用，所以before符合题意；although显然文不对题；until与after，逻辑不对。

2、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 as soon as 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 ______. 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.cured

B.to cure

C.being cured

D.having been cured

正确答案:A

答案解析:本句考查的是语法。根据所给的动词，我们可以猜到本句想说的是“Joshua Salomon说，疗程较短的治疗计划可能意味着不仅仅是更多病人被治好”。这里从语法分析，应该是缺一个定语，修饰patients，cure是一个及物动词，病人应是被治疗者：选项B(to cure)不能表示被动；C和D虽然有表示被动的意思，但是C是“正在被治疗”，D是“已经被治疗”，两者隐含的时态在这里均不合适，只有A是恰当的。

3、An Intelligent CarDriving needs sharp eyes, keen ears, quick brain, ａｎｄ　coordination between hands ａｎｄ　the brain. Many human drivers have all. these ａｎｄ　can control a fast-moving car. But how does an intelligent car control itself ?There is a virtual driver in the smart car. This virtual driver has "eyes," "brains", "hands" ａｎｄ　"feet", too. The mini-cameras ______ each side of the car are his "eyes," which observe the road ａｎｄ　conditions ahead of it. They watch the traffic to the car\'s left ａｎｄ　right. There is also a highly automatic driving system in the car. It is the built-in computer, which is the virtual driver\'s "brain". His "brain" calculates the speeds of other moving cars near it ａｎｄ　analyzes their positions. Basing on this information, it chooses the right line fｏｒthe intelligent cars, ａｎｄ　gives instructions to the "hands" ａｎｄ　"feets" to act accordingly. In this way, the virtual driver controls his car. What is the virtual driver\'s best advantage? He reacts rapidly. The mini-cameras are sending images continuously to the "brain". It completes the processing of the images within 100 milliseconds. However, the world\'s best driver at least needs one second to react. Besides, when he takes action, he needs one more second. The virtual driver is really wonderful. He can reduce the accident rate. considerably on expressway. In this case, can we let him have the wheel at any time ａｎｄ　in any place? Experts warn that we cannot do that just yet. His ability to recognize things is still limited. He can now only drive an intelligent car on expressways. 【单选题】

A.within

B.above

C.to

D.on

正确答案:D

答案解析:与side搭配的介词是on（on the side of…：在……的上面）。

4、Breastfeeding Can Cut Cardiovascular RiskBreastfeeding can reduce the risk of a heart attack ｏｒstroke later in life ａｎｄ　could prevent hundreds of thousands of deaths each year, researchers said on Friday. Babies who are breastfed have fewer childhood infections ａｎｄ　allergies ａｎｄ　are less prone to obesity. British scientists have now shown that breastfeeding ａｎｄ　slow growth in the first weeks ａｎｄ　months of life has a protective effect against cardiovascular disease. "Diets that promote more rapid growth put babies at risk many years later in terms of raising their blood pressure, raising their cholesterol ａｎｄ　increasing their tendency to diabetes ａｎｄ　obesity-the four main risk factors fｏｒstroke ａｎｄ　heart attack." said ProfessｏｒAlan Lucas of the Institute of Child Health in London. "Our evidence suggests that the reason why breast-fed babies do better is because they grow more slowly in the early weeks."Lucas said the effects of breastfeeding on blood pressure ａｎｄ　cholesterol later in life are greater than anything adults can do to control the risk factors fｏｒcardiovascular disease, other than taking drugs. An estimated 17 million people die of cardiovascular disease, particularly heart attack ａｎｄ　strokes, each year, according to the World Health Organization. Lucas ａｎｄ　his colleagues compared the health of 216 teenagers who as babies had either been breastfed ｏｒgiven different nutritional baby formulas\' They reported their findings in The Lancet medical journal. The teenagers who had been breastfed had a 14 percent lower ratio of bad to good cholesterol ａｎｄ　lower concentrations of a protein that is a marker fｏｒcardiovascular disease risk. The researchers also found that regardless of the child\'s weight at birth, the faster the infants grew in the early weeks ａｎｄ　months of life, the greater was their later risk of heart disease ａｎｄ　stroke. The effect was the ______ fｏｒboth boys ａｎｄ　girls. "The more human milk you have in the newborn period, the lower your cholesterol level is, the lower your blood pressure is 16 years later, "Lucas said. 【单选题】

A.True

B.right

C.proper

D.same

正确答案:D

答案解析:句意应该是“该影响对男孩女孩都一样”，所以答案是D。

5、Cell Phone Lets Your Secret OutYour cell phone holds secrets about you. Besides the names ａｎｄ　numbers that you\'ve programmed into it, traces of your DNA linger on the device, according to a new study.DNA is genetic material that appears in every cell. Like your fingerprint, your DNA is unique to you- because you have an identical twin. Scientists today routinely analyze DNA in blood, saliva, ｏｒhair left behind at the scene of a crime. The results often help detectives identify criminals ａｎｄ　their victims. Your cell phone can reveal more about you than you might think.Meghan J. McFadden, a scientist at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, heard about a crime in which the suspect bled onto a cell phone ａｎｄ　later dropped the device. This made her wonder whether traces of DNA lingered on cell phones even when no blood was involved. So she ａｎｄ　colleague Margaret Wallace of the City University of New York analyzed the flip open phones of 10 volunteers. They used swabs to collect invisible traces of the users from two parts of the phone: the outside, where the user holds it, ａｎｄ　the speaker, which is placed at the user\'s ear.The scientists scrubbed the phones using a solution made mostly of alcohol. The aim of washing was to remove all detectable traces of DNA. The owners got their phones back fｏｒanother week. Then the researchers collected the phones ａｎｄ　repeated the swabbing of each phone once more.The scientists discovered DNA that belonged to the phone\'s speaker on each of the phones. Better samples were collected from the outside of each phone, those swabs also picked up DNA that belonged to other people who had apparently also handled the phone. ______, DNA showed up even in swabs that were taken immediately after the phones were scrubbed. That suggests that washing won\'t remove all traces of evidence from a criminal\'s device. So cell phones can now be added to the list of clues that can clinch a crime scene investigation.【单选题】

A.Generally

B.Surprisingly

C.Disappointedly

D.Shortly

正确答案:B

答案解析:最后一段的第一和第二句告诉我们手机经过清洗后仍然有微量DNA出现。所以这里要用surprising这个副词，表示令人惊讶。
