1、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. ______ 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. Surprisingly, 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】

答案解析:四个选项中只有B是正确选择，连接了其前后两个句子，使其形成因果关系：她思考微量DNA是否会停留在手机上，所以，她与同事们一起对10名志愿者的翻盖手机进行了分析研究。A、C、D都是转折的意义关系。

2、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.To the decisions, the European Commission officials\' attitudes are ______.【单选题】

A.skeptical

B.controversial

C.contradictory

D.divergent

正确答案:D

答案解析:态度题。题干考查的是欧洲委员会官员对于这些决议的态度。文中表示一些官员对禁令表示怀疑，主要害怕禁令会影响外交关系；而一些官员表示支持，可见这些官员所持的态度是有分歧的。考生可能会受到选项B的干扰，比较看来，选项D更为精确。

3、The Hurricane1. A hurricane (飓风) is a tropical storm with winds that have reached a constant speed of 74 miles per hour. Hurricane winds blow in a large spiral(螺旋) around a relative calm center known as the "eye". The "eye" is generally 20 to 30 miles wide, ａｎｄ　the storm may extend outward 400 miles. As a hurricane nears land, it can bring heavy rains, high winds ａｎｄ　storm surges(风暴潮). The storm surges ａｎｄ　heavy rains can lead to flooding.2. Hurricanes are given a different label, depending on where they occur. If they begin over the North Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, The Gulf of Mexico, ｏｒthe Northeast Pacific Ocean, they are called hurricanes. Similar storms that occur in the Northwest Pacific Ocean west of the Internaional Date Line are called typhoons near Australia ａｎｄ　in the Indian Ocean, they are referred to as tropical cyclones(龙卷风).3. When a hurricane hits land, it can do great damage through its fierce winds, heavy rains, inland(内陆的) flooding ａｎｄ　huge waves crashing on to the shore. During a hurricane, homes, businesses ａｎｄ　public buildings may be damaged ｏｒdestroyed, roads ａｎｄ　bridges can be washed away. A powerful hurricane can kill more people ａｎｄ　destroy more property than any other natural disaster. Fishermen are at special risk from hurricanes as they may be at sea when a hurricane arrives ａｎｄ　not be able to get to a safe harbｏｒif they do not receive adequate warning.4. If a hurricane is comming in your area, the most important thing is to stay calm ａｎｄ　find shelter immediately. Go to your safe room. If you do not have one, stay indoors during the hurricane ａｎｄ　go to a safer place near the center of your home. Cover yourself with a blanket ａｎｄ　be sure to keep away from windows ａｎｄ　glass doors, because if the glass breaks it’s really dangerous. Do not be fooled if there is lull(暂停), it could be the eye of the storm—winds will pick up again.A powerful hurricane may become the most destructive ______.【单选题】

A.different labels

B.window ａｎｄ　glass doors

C.inlａｎｄ　flooding

D.early warning

E.natural disaster

F.a constant speed

正确答案:E

答案解析:本题有一定难度，需要认真寻找答案依据，答案依据在文章第三段的倒数第二句：A powerful hurricane can kill more people ａｎｄ　destroy more property than any other natural disaster。回来看选项，E项符合原文句意，是答案。

4、Arctic MeltEarth\'s North ａｎｄ　South Poles are famous fｏｒbeing cold ａｎｄ　icy. Last year, however, the amount of ice in the Arctic Ocean fell to a record low. Normally, ice builds in Arctic waters around the North Pole each winter ａｎｄ　shrinks during the summer. But fｏｒmany years, the amount of ice left by the end of summer has been declining. Since 1979, each decade has seen an 11. 4 percent ｄｒｅｐin end of summer ice cover. Between 1981 ａｎｄ　2000, ice in the Arctic lost 22 percent of its thickness, becoming 1.13 meters thinner. Last summer, Arctic sea ice reached its skimpiest levels yet. By the end of summer 2007, the ice had shrunk to cover just 4.2 million square kilometers. That\'s 38 percent less area than the average cover at that time of year. ａｎｄ　it\'s a very large 23 percent below the previous record low, which was ｓｅｔjust 2 years ago. This continuing trend has scientists concerned. There may be several reasons fｏｒthe ice melt, says Jinlun Zhang, an oceanographer at the University of Washington at Seattle. Unusually strong winds blew through the Arctic last summer. The winds pushed much of the ice out of the central Arctic, leaving a large area of thin ice ａｎｄ　open water. Scientists also suspect that fewer clouds cover the Arctic now than in the past. Clearer skies allow more sunlight to reach the ocean. The extra heat warms both the water ａｎｄ　the atmosphere. In parts of the Arctic Ocean last year, surface temperatures were 3.5℃ warmer than average ａｎｄ　1.5℃ warmer than the previous record high. With both air ａｎｄ　water getting warmer, the ice is melting from both above ａｎｄ　below. In some parts of the Beaufort Sea, north of Alaska ａｎｄ　western Canada, ice that measured 3. 3 meters thick at the beginning of the summer measured just 50 centimeters by season\'s end. The new measurements suggest that melting is far more severe than scientists have seen by just looking at ice cover from above, says Donald K. Perovich, a geophysicist at the U. S. Army Cold Regions Research ａｎｄ　Engineering Laboratory in Hanover, N. H. Some scientists fear that the Arctic is stuck in a warming trend from which it may never recover. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word "build" in the first sentence of the second paragraph?【单选题】

A.construct

B.extend

C.create

D.expand

正确答案:D

答案解析:本句意思为“每年冬天北极附近的北冰洋开始结冰”，build为“结冰”的意思，expand有“容积扩张”的意思，所以与build相符；而construct为“修筑、建筑”的意思，所以不能选。

5、A Star Is Born1 The VLT (Very Large Telescope) is the world\'s largest telescope ａｎｄ　is taking astronomers further back to the Big Bang than they ever thought possible. Located 2,600 meters up to the Chilean Andes, it has four huge mirrors, each about the size of a London bus. The VLT is so powerful it can spot a burning match 10, 000 kilometers away. 2 This astonishing power will allow astronomers to see events in space from the birth of stars to the collision of galaxies on the edge of the cosmos. The VLT is giving astronomers their best ever view of the cosmos. The power of the VLT to see the smallest detail at the furthest distances makes its designers amazed. 3 Take the case of Eta Carinae, one of the most explosive stars in the universe. This star produces ultraviolet laser rays (紫外线) ａｎｄ　it will destroy itself in a few million years\' time. It is five times brighter than the sun ａｎｄ　when it explodes it is going to be a sight worth waiting for. 4 But it is at distances of millions, even billions, of light years that the VLT really shows its power. The VLT can detect light that ｓｅｔout on its journey before the earth even existed. This gives astronomers their first ever detailed views of events that took place in the earliest days of the cosmos. 5 In other words, the VLT is a kind of a time machine. It takes astronomers back to a time when complete galaxies crashed into each other. The effects of these past collisions can now be seen by scientists, ａｎｄ　astronomers believe the telescope will reveal more about these exciting events in the years to come. One day, we might be able to say we have traveled back to the beginning of time, ａｎｄ　we will have a much clearer picture of how our planet was born. Paragraph 3____【单选题】

A.Events That Took place Before the Earth Existed

B.Power of the Telescope

C.Details of Eta Carinae

D.Invention of a Time Machine

E.Biggest Telescope

F.Ultraviolet Laser Rays

正确答案:C

答案解析:文章第3段介绍了Eta Carinae的情况，故C为正确答案。

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

7、Snow RangerThe two things, snow ａｎｄ　mountains, which are needed fｏｒa ski area are the two things that cause avalanches, large mass of snow ａｎｄ　ice crushing down the side of a mountain, often called "White Death. "It was the threat of the avalanche ａｎｄ　its record as a killer of man in the western mountains that created the snow ranger. He first started on avalanche control work in the winter of 1937, 38 at Alta, Utah, in Wasatch National Forest. This mountain valley was becoming well known to skiers. It was dangerous. In fact, more than 120 persons had lost their lives in 1936 ａｎｄ　another 200 died in 1937 as a result of avalanches before it became a majｏｒski area. Thus, development of Alta ａｎｄ　other majｏｒski resorts in the west was dependent upon controlling the avalanche. The Forest Service ｓｅｔout to do it, ａｎｄ　did with its corps of snow rangers. It takes many things to make a snow ranger. The snow ranger must be in excellent physical condition. He must be a good skier ａｎｄ　a skilled mountain climber. He should have at least a high school education, ａｎｄ　the more college courses in geology, physics, ａｎｄ　related fields he has, the better. He studies snow, terrain, wind, ａｎｄ　weather. He learns the conditions that produce avalanches. He learns to forecast avalanches ａｎｄ　to bring them roaring on down the mountainsides to reduce their killing strength. The snow ranger learns to do this by using artillery, by blasting with TNT, ａｎｄ　by the difficult ａｎｄ　skillful art of skiing avalanches down. The snow ranger, dressed in a green parka which has a bright yellow shoulder patch, means safety fｏｒpeople on ski slopes. He pulls the trigger on a 75 mm. Recoilless rifle, skis waist deep in powder testing snow stability, ｏｒtalks with the ski area\'s operatｏｒas he goes about his work to protect the public from the hazards of deep snow on steep mountain slopes. A snow ranger himself must be____. 【单选题】

A.a college graduate.

B.a physicist.

C.a geologist.

D.a mountaineer.

正确答案:D

答案解析:A：大学毕业生；B：物理学家；C：地质学家；D：登山运动员。依据常识，D最合理。如果依据原文，文章第5段首句说“要成为雪地管理员需要很多的条件”，所以判断答案相关句应在该段中。该段说“雪地管理员应是优秀的登山运动员”，所以答案是D。

8、Will We Take Vacation in Spaces?When Mike Kelly first ｓｅｔout to build his own private space-ferry service, he figured his bread-and-butter business would be lofting (发射) satellites into high-Earth orbit. Now he thinks he may have figured wrong. "People were always asking me when they could go," says Kelly, who runs Kelly Space & Technology out of San Bemardino, California. "I realized that real market is in space tourism."According to preliminary market surveys, there are 10,000 would-be-space-tourists willing to spend $1 million each to visit the final frontier. Space Adventure in Arlington, Virginia, has taken more than 130 deposits fｏｒa two-hour, $98, 000 space tour tentatively ａｎｄ　somewhat dubiously (可疑地) ｓｅｔto actｏｒby 2005. Gene Meyers of the space Islａｎｄ　Group says: "Space is the next exotic(风光奇特的) vacation spot. "This may all sound great, but there are a few hurdles (困难). Putting a simple satellite into orbit with no oxygen, life support ｏｒreturn trip necessary already costs an astronomical (天文数字) $ 22,OOO/kg. ａｎｄ　that doesn\'t include the oust of insuring rich ａｎｄ　possibly litigious passenger. John Pike of the Federation of American Scientists acerbically (尖刻地) suggests that the entireｇｒｏｕｐof entrepreneurs trying to corner (垄断) the space-tourism market have between them "just enough money to blow up one rocket."The U. S. space agency has plenty of money but zero interest in mailing space less expensive fｏｒthe little guys. So the little guys are racing to do what the government has failed to do: design a reusable launch system that is inexpensive, safe ａｎｄ　reliable. Kelly Space\'s prototype looks like a plane that has sprouted rocket engines. Rotary Rocket in Redwood City, California, has a booster with rotors to make a helicopter-style return to Earth; Kistler Aero-space in Kirkland, Washington, is piecing together its versions from old Soviet engines, shuttle-style thermal protection tiles ａｎｄ　an elaborate parachute system. The first passenger countdowns are still years away, but bureaucrats at the Federal Aviation Administration in Washington are already informally discussing flight regulations. After all, you can\'t be too prepared, fｏｒa trip to that galaxy far, far away. Fｏｒthose who are intent on joining the 100-mile high club, Hilton ａｎｄ　Budget are plotting to build space hotels. Before the Russian spaceship Mir came down, some people were talking about using it as a low-rent space hotel to reduce the cost. If a space hotel is finally built in space, ａｎｄ　if you are thinking of staying in it, you may want to check the Michelin ratings before booking yourself a suite. We can infer from the context that the Michelin ratings can help people to find prices of hotels. 【单选题】

10、Dairy Price-fixing ScandalTesco is preparing a legal battle to clear its name of involvement in the dairy price-fixing scandal that has cost consumers ￡270 million. Failure to prove that it had no part in collusion with other supermarkets ａｎｄ　dairy processors may lａｎｄ　it with a fine of at least ￡80 million. The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) said yesterday that Asda, Sainsbury\'s ａｎｄ　the former Safeway, plus the dairy companies Wiseman, Dairy Crest ａｎｄ　Cheese Company, had admitted being in a cartel to fix prices fｏｒmilk, butter ａｎｄ　cheese. They were fined a total of just over ￡116 million as part of a leniency deal offered by the watchdog to companies that owned up quickly to anti-competitive behaviour.Officials at the OFT admitted privately that they did not think they would ever discover which company ｏｒindividual had initiated the pricing formula. But the watchdog recognises that at the time supermarkets were under pressure from politicians ａｎｄ　farmers to raise the cost of milk to save dairy farming, though it is not certain that money found its way to farmers. The OFT claimed in September that it had found evidence that the retail chains had passed future milk prices to dairy companies, which then reached a fixed price among themselves.The average cost to each household is thought to be ￡11.25 over 2002 ａｎｄ　2003, Prices went up an extra 3p on a pint of milk, 15p on a quarter of a pound of butter ａｎｄ　15p on a half pound of cheese. There is no direct recompense fｏｒconsumers, however, ａｎｄ　the money will go to the Treasury. The National Consumer Council gave warning that the admissions would dent consumer confidence in leading high street names ａｎｄ　that people would become sceptical of their claims. Farmers fｏｒAction, theｇｒｏｕｐof farmers that has led protests over low milk prices since 2000, is seeking legal advice on whether it can now bring a claim fｏｒcompensation.The OFT investigation is continuing, however, in relation to Tesco, Morrisons ａｎｄ　the dairyｇｒｏｕｐLactalis McLelland, ａｎｄ　any legal action is expected to be delayed until that is completed. Tesco was defiant ａｎｄ　said that it was preparing a robust defence of its actions. Lucy Neville-Rolfe, its executive director, said: "As we have always said, we acted independently ａｎｄ　we did not collude with anyone. Our position is different from our competitors ａｎｄ　we are defending our own case vigorously. Our philosophy is to give a good deal to customers."Morrisons has supported the OFT in inquiries into the former safeway business that it took over, but in a statement said that it was still making "strong representations" in its defence. A spokeswoman fｏｒLactalis McLellａｎｄ　said that the company was "co-operating" with the OFT. Industry insiders suggested that the three companies were deliberately stalling the OFT investigation.Sainsbury\'s admitted yesterday that it had agreed to pay ￡26 million in fines, but denied that it had sought to profiteer. Justin King, the chief executive, said he was disappointed that the company had been penalised fｏｒactions meant to help farmers but recognised the benefit of a speedy settlement. Asda declined to say how much it would pay in fines ａｎｄ　also said that its intention had been to help farmers under severe financial pressure.The writer\'s attitude to Tesco can be said to be ______.【单选题】

A.biased

B.objective

C.sympathetic

D.optimistic

正确答案:B

答案解析:态度题。通过阅读整篇文章可以看出，作者虽然在文章中讲述了关于Tesco的事件，但言语和措辞比较客观，并未作出任何掺杂个人意见的评论，故正确答案为B。
