1、Hurricanes1 Did you know that before 1950, hurricanes had no names? They were simply given numbers. The first names ware simply Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc. But in 1953, female names were given because of the unpredictability factｏｒof the storms. In 1979, realizing the sexist nature of such named, the lists were expanded to include both men ａｎｄ　women.2 Hurricanes ａｎｄ　typhoons are the same things. If they form in the Atlantic, we call these strong storms hurricanes, from the West Indian word hurricane, meaning "big wind. " ａｎｄ　if they are pacific storms, they are called typhoons from the Chinese taifun, meaning "great wind. " To be classified as a hurricane, the storm must have maximum winds of at least 75 mph. These storms are big, many hundreds of miles in diameter.3 Hurricanes get their power from water vapｏｒas it gives out its stored-up energy. All water vapｏｒgives out heat as it condenses from a gaseous state to a liquid state over fixed points on the equator. To make a hurricane, you must have extremely wet, warm air, the kind of air that can only be found in tropical regions.4 Scientists have determined that the heat given out in the process of water condensation can be as high as 95 billion kilowatts per hours. In just one day alone, the storm can produce more energy than many industrialized nations need in an entire year! The problem is that we don\'t know how to make such great energy work fｏｒus.5 Predicting the path of a hurricane is one of the most difficult tasks fｏｒforecasters, it moves at a typical speed of 15 mph. But not always. Some storms may race along at twice this speed, then suddenly stop ａｎｄ　remain in the same location in the ocean fｏｒseveral days. It can be maddening if you live in a coastal area that may be hit.6 The biggest advance in early detection is continuous watch from weather satellites. With these, we can see the storms form ａｎｄ　track them fully, from birth to death. While they can still kill people ａｎｄ　destroy property, hurricanes will never surprise any nation again.Scientists cannot predict the course of a hurricane accurately due to its ____.【单选题】

A.timely discovery of hurricane

B.convenience

C.sex equality

D.its connection with humans

E.huge power

F.uncertainty

正确答案:F

答案解析:第五段叙述了飓风风速及路径的不确定性。

2、Intellectual DisabilityPeople with intellectual disability form one of the largest single disability groups in a community. Intellectual disability refers to a general slowness to learn ａｎｄ　function within society, ａｎｄ　the identification of intellectual disability is usually based on an assessment of a person\'s performance in a variety of tests. An individual\'s level of performance, as assessed, can change with time ａｎｄ　circumstances. With skilled training ａｎｄ　opportunity fｏｒdevelopment, people with intellectual disability have much greater potential fｏｒacquiring skills ａｎｄ　fｏｒparticipation in community life than previously had been thought possible.In many western societies, five categories of intellectual disability have traditionally been used in ｏｒｃｅｒto indicate the perceived degree of difficulty an individual has with learning. All five may occur in either children, adolescent ｏｒadult, ａｎｄ　show as mild, moderate, severe, profound ｏｒmultiple intellectual disability.Fｏｒthe majority of intellectual disabilities, there is no identifiable cause but there are some causes that are well documented. They include: brain damage at birth due to lack of oxygen—prolonged labｏｒduring childbirth; brain damage before birth due to factors such as rubella (风疹), drug ｏｒdiet-related problems; damage after birth due to illnesses such as encephalitis(脑膜炎) ｏｒaccident; hereditary defects in the genes; abnormal chromosome count resulting in, fｏｒexample, Down Syndrome(唐氏综合症).Like everyone else, people with an intellectual disability need a rewarding job, a satisfying place to live ａｎｄ　a good social life. But they may need extra support to achieve these things. Good support services are based on the principle of normalization—which means enabling people to be part of the community like everyone else,With the introduction of the intellectually disabled into communities, there is a need to promote awareness of communication. Although many people may have little experience in talking with an intellectually disabled person, there are common guidelines that can simplify the interaction. Firstly, it is useful to remember that people with disabilities have feelings. Speaking in the same friendly manner as you would to anyone else is also recommended. Being prepared to wait a little longer fｏｒreplies during a conversation with an intellectually disabled person would undoubtedly benefit the exchange.Paragraph 5____.【单选题】

A.What do people with an intellectual disability need

B.What is intellectual disability

C.How do people with an intellectual disability talk

D.What are the forms of intellectual disability

E.What causes intellectual disability

F.How do you talk to a person with an intellectual disability

正确答案:F

答案解析:第五段主题句为第一句，其意思是：当智力障碍者融入社区生活时，有必要提高社区居民与他们的交流水平。该段主要回答了F选项“How do you talk to a person with an intellectual disability?”所提问题，故F为正确答案。

3、Parkinson\'s Disease1 Parkinson\'s disease affects the way you move. It happens when there is a problem with certain nerve cells in the brain. Normally, these nerve cells make an important chemical called dopamine. Dopamine sends signals to the part of your brain that controls movement. It lets your muscles move smoothly ａｎｄ　do what you want them to do. When you have Parkinson\'s, these nerve cells break down. Then you no longer have enough dopamine, ａｎｄ　you have trouble moving the way you want to.2 No one knows fｏｒsure what makes these nerve cells break down. But scientists are doing a lot of research to look fｏｒthe answer. They are studying many possible causes, including aging ａｎｄ　poisons in the environment. Abnormal genes seem to lead to Parkinson\'s disease in some people. But so far, there is not enough proof to show that it is always inherited.3 Tremｏｒmay be the first symptom you notice. It is one of the most common signs of the disease, although not everyone has it. More importantly, not everyone with a tremｏｒhas Parkinson\'s disease. Tremｏｒoften starts in just one arm ｏｒleg ｏｒonly on one side of the body. It may be worse when you are awake but not moving the affected arm ｏｒleg. It may get better when you move the limb ｏｒyou are asleep. In time, Parkinson\'s affects muscles all through your body, so it can lead to problems like trouble swallowing ｏｒconstipation. In the later stages of the disease, a person with Parkinson\'s may have a fixed ｏｒblank expression, trouble speaking, ａｎｄ　other problems. Some people also have a decrease in mental skills (dementia).4 At this time, there is no cure fｏｒParkinson\'s disease. But there are several types of medicines that can control the symptoms ａｎｄ　make the disease easier to live with. You \'may not even need treatment if your symptoms are mild. Your doctｏｒmay wait to prescribe medicines until your symptoms start to get in the way of your daily life. Your doctｏｒwill adjust your medicines as your symptoms get worse. You may need to take several medicines to get the best results.Paragraph 1____【单选题】

A.Tips fｏｒPatients with the Disease

B.Common Treatment fｏｒthe Disease

C.Means of Diagnosis of the Disease

D.Typical Symptoms of the Disease

E.Possible Causes of the Disease

F.Definition of Parkinson\'s Disease

正确答案:F

答案解析:第一段的大意即： 什么是帕金森综合征？因此选F。

4、Blasts from the Past1 Volcanoes were more destructive in ancient history. Not because they were bigger, but because the carbon they released wiped out life with greater ease.2 Paul Wignall from the University of Leeds was investigating the link between volcanic eruptions ａｎｄ　mass extinctions. Not all volcanic eruptions killed off large numbers of animals, but all the mass extinctions over the past 300. million years coincided with huge formations of volcanic rock. To his surprise, the older the massive volcanic eruptions were, the more damage they seemed to do.3 Wignall calculated the "killing efficiency" fｏｒthese volcanoes by comparing the proportion of life they killed off with the volume of lava that they produced. He found that size fｏｒsize, older eruptions were at least 10 times as effective at wiping out life as their more recent rivals.4 The Permian extinction, fｏｒexample, which happened 250 million years ago, is marked by floods of volcanic rock in. Siberia that cover an area roughly the size of western Europe, Those volcanoes are thought to have pumped out about 10 gigatonnes of carbon as carbon dioxide, The global warming that followed wiped out 8 per cent of all marine genera at the time, ａｎｄ　it took 5 million years far tire planet to recover.5 Yet 60 million years ago in the late Palaeocene there was another huge amount of volcanic activity ａｎｄ　global-warming but no mass extinction. Some animals did disappear but things returned to normal within ten thousands of years, "The most recent ones hardly have an effect at all," Wignall says. He ignored the extinction which wiped out the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous, 65 million years ago, because many scientists believe it was primarily caused by the impact of an asteroid.6 Wignall thinks that older volcanoes had more killing power because more recent life forms were better adapted to dealing with increased levels of C02 Ocean chemistry may also have played a role. As the supercontinents broke up ａｎｄ　exposed more coastline there may have been more weathering of silica rocks. This would have encouraged the growth of phytoplankton in the oceans, increasing the amount of C02 absorbed from the atmosphere.7 Vincent Courtillot, directｏｒof the Paris Geophysical Institute in France, says that Wignall\'s idea is provocative. But he says it is incredibly hard to do these sorts of calculations. He points out that the killing power of volcanic eruptions depends on how long they fasted. ａｎｄ　it is impossible to tell whether the huge blasts lasted fｏｒthousands ｏｒmillions of years.8 Courtillot also adds that it is difficult to estimate how much lava prehistoric volcanoes produced, ａｎｄ　that lava volume may not necessarily correspond to carbon dioxide ｏｒsulphur dioxide emissions.Courtillot rejects____.【单选题】

A.than more recent ones

B.the killing efficiency fｏｒolder eruptions

C.has remained controversial

D.Wignall\'s calculations as acceptable

E.has been mown to us all

F.his ideas

正确答案:D

答案解析:Wignall\'s calculations as acceptable合成后的句子是：Courtillot rejects Wignall\'s calculations as acceptable. Courtillot拒绝接受Wignall的计算。答案可以从最后两段中找到。
