1、The orangutanAmong all the animals, the ape is most like human beings. Both people ａｎｄ　apes have the similar brain structure, the similar nerve system, ａｎｄ　the similar kind of blood. There are four kinds of apes: the chimpanzee (黑猩猩), the orangutan (猩猩), the gorilla (大猩猩), ａｎｄ　the gibbon (长臂猿). They live in the deep forests ａｎｄ　warm tropical regions of Africa ａｎｄ　of Southeast Asia, including Indonesia. All apes are covered with brown, reddish-brown, ｏｒblack hair everywhere on their bodies except their faces, feet, ａｎｄ　hands. Their hands each have four fingers ａｎｄ　a thumb that helps them grip things the way our thumbs help us. But they also have a thumb on each foot instead of a big toe. Thus they can hold things with their feet also. Having short, weak legs, apes do not walk on the ground very much. However, their arms are very strong. This enables them to swing from branches ａｎｄ　travel very quickly from tree to tree. These animals live in small family groups that move from place to place in search of vegetables ａｎｄ　fruits. They also eat eggs, small animals, nuts, ａｎｄ　insects. When they are tired, they build nests in the trees. But they rarely sleep there fｏｒmore than a night ｏｒtwo. Then they move on to look fｏｒmore food. There are some differences among the following three kids of apes. The gibbon is never more than three feet high ａｎｄ　weight only about fourteen pounds. The gorilla grows to be six feet tall ａｎｄ　weight up to 600 pounds. The orangutan is smaller than the gorilla. It stands three to five feet tall ａｎｄ　weight up to 200 pounds. Chimpanzees are the smartest of all apes. They can be taught to sit at a table ａｎｄ　eat, to dress themselves, ａｎｄ　to do things that human children can do. Apes build nests in the trees but seldom sleep there fｏｒmore than a night ｏｒtwo because____. 【单选题】

A.they like to live in small family groups

B.they like to move from place to place in search of more food

C.they like to eat eggs, small animals, nuts ａｎｄ　insects

D.it rains too often in the deep forests

正确答案:B

答案解析:文章第4段指出，猿四处迁居以寻找蔬菜与水果，它们累了就在树上造窝，偶尔在窝里休息一两个晚上，然后继续迁移以找到更多的食物，所以B正确。

2、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" fｏｒdisasters, 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 ______ 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.experimental

B.apparent

C.scientific

D.chemical

正确答案:B

答案解析:下一句说，这些迹象并没有被证实。因此，这些迹象不可能是scientific的，而experimental和chemical的词义与上下文不配合，因此也不是答案。只有apparent（明显的）与上下文的意思相配。

3、What Do Dreams Tell Us?Why do we dream? Do dreams have meanings? These are questions which have troubled man fｏｒthousands of years. The oldest surviving book on the interpretation of dreams is Egyptian ａｎｄ　is nearly 4,000 years old. In ancient Greece, it was thought that people who were ill could be cured by telling their dreams. They would relate their dreams to their doctors who would tell them what they meant ａｎｄ　then give them medicine to make them well. The ancient Chinese believed that if a pregnant woman dreamed of a bear, she would have a son, ａｎｄ　if she dreamed of a snake, she would have a daughter. There are many stories about dreams foretelling (预言) the future.We certainly do not now believe that dreams foretell the future. Most scientists believe that dreams are based on events in our own life ａｎｄ　on our feelings. The events are usually very recent, mostly within the last two days. Our emotions, on the other hａｎｄ　our wishes, hopes ａｎｄ　fears may go back many years, even to early childhood.In a dream, events are altered. A dream may contain parts of many real-life events. Most importantly, something that cannot be shown directly may be shown indirectly. Fｏｒexample, you might dream of driving a large car. This could mean not that you want to have a larger car, but that you desire power, ａｎｄ　maybe you want to control other people. Again, you may dream that you are an actｏｒin a play. The play is about to start, but you have completely forgot your lines. This dream may seem strange because you are not interested in acting, ａｎｄ　you never want to be in a play. But the dream may mean that you have some other problem that you feel is too difficult fｏｒyou to solve.Psychologists believe that dreams may be helpful to us. Indeed, people who have been allowed to sleep in experiments, but not allowed to dream, have become anxious ａｎｄ　restless. ａｎｄ　when they are later allowed to sleep as much as they like, they dream more than ever to make us fｏｒthe lost "dream time". Paragraph 1 ______.【单选题】

A.Structure ａｎｄ　interpretation of a dream

B.Ancient views on dreams

C.Babies dream less than older children

D.Dreaming may be good fｏｒour health

E.Dreams can not foretell the future

F.Healthy people do not dream

正确答案:B

答案解析:第一段主题句为第三句：These are questions which have troubled man fｏｒthousands of years. 这些问题已经困扰了人类几千年。段中则分别提到了古代埃及、希腊和中国对梦的理解。而B选项Ancient views on dreams（古人对梦的观点）与其意思一致，故B为正确答案。

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.The San Francisco area is located above several active fault lines.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:A

答案解析:本题难度不大，找到答案依据不难。答案依据在第一段第五句：At least seven active fault lines run through the San Francisco area，至少有七条断层地带穿越旧金山，所以本题正确，答案是A。

5、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 _____ 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 a lot of work to do before the colｏｒ- changing 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:本题有一定难度，干扰项干扰较大，考查介词before的用法，文章此处是说，“它在建筑物倒塌之前会变成红色”，此处要用“之前”的意思，答案是D。

6、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 ______ 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 same 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.two

B.four

C.three

D.five

正确答案:B

答案解析:前句中先后提到了血压、胆固醇、糖尿病和肥胖，共计4项。

7、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. It sounds great that soon there will be space residence, although it is still a tentative plan. 【单选题】

答案解析:文中没有提及与此相关的信息，文章只提及了太空旅行的相关情况及发展前景，并未提及在太空定居。

8、AirbusDespite bulging ｏｒｃｅｒbooks, the mood at Airbus ａｎｄ　Boeing is far from celebratory. Both aviation giants are moaning loudly that their production systems ａｎｄ　supply chains are flawed, albeit fｏｒostensibly different reasons. This week Louis Gallois, the boss of EADS, the Franco-German aerospace consortium that owns Airbus, added substance to warnings a week earlier by the planemaker’s chief executive, Tom Enders, that the dollar\'s decline was "life-threatening" fｏｒthe firm. Mr. Gallois said it was no longer just a possibility that Airbus would have to move a large part of its production to "the dollar zone" ｏｒlow-cost countries, but a certainty.Airbus is already in the middle of Power 8, a big restructuring plan that involves the loss of 10,000 jobs ａｎｄ　the sale of several plants, which is meant to offｓｅｔthe losses caused by the delays in delivering the A380 superjumbo. But Power 8 assumed that a euro was worth $ 1.35, not today\'s $ 1.47. Mr. Gallois estimates that each 10-cent rise in the euro costs Airbus 1 billion. At present, Airbus makes 76% of its purchases within Europe, but generates over 60% of its sales elsewhere. It must now shift some production abroad.Airbus is now likely to forge ahead much further. Mr. Gallois suggests that when the A350 enters service in 2013, 70% of it will have been "purchased" in dollars, against 50% fｏｒthe A380 ａｎｄ　an average 24% of Airbus production today. Because Airbus insists that some of its European suppliers price in dollars that means about 50% of the A350\'s production will be outsourced. New aircraft, such as the A320\'s successor, may be made almost entirely outside the euro-zone.Airbus maintains that exchange rates are not the only reason fｏｒoutsourcing: it is keen to tap into composite-manufacturing expertise wherever it exists. It also insists that it will not repeat the mistakes Boeing has made with its new 787 Dreamliner, about 80% of which has been outsourced. A few weeks ago Mike Bair, the executive responsible fｏｒthe 787 programme, who was recently moved sideways after mounting production delays, launched a withering attack on some of the companies recruited to build the plane. He said that in future Boeing would not entrust design work to partners who "proved incapable of doing it", ａｎｄ　would make suppliers build factories close to Boeing\'s main assembly operation, rather than flying semi-finished sections of the aircraft round the world on huge Dreamlifter transporters.It is too early to conclude that the two rivals are heading in opposite directions- Boeing renouncing the global supply chain just as Airbus adopts it. Each company has its own axe to grind. Airbus needs greater flexibility, ａｎｄ　the weak dollar provides helpful cover as it takes on its grumbling unions. Boeing, fｏｒits part, wants to shift the blame fｏｒdelays to the 787 on to its partners. The logic of global outsourcing in the aerospace industry remains powerful. Whatever they may be saying now. Airbus ａｎｄ　Boeing are more likely to converge than to diverge.Airbus carries out Power 8 because ______.【单选题】

A.it cannot make up the deficits caused by the delays in delivering A380

B.it wants to move its production abroad to handle the problem of dollar\'s decline

C.it has not predicted the dollar decline at the beginning

D.it wants to raise money to build new production sectｏｒin low-cost countries

正确答案:A

答案解析:细节考查题。题干考查的是空中客车实行能量8计划的原因。答案参见第二段第一句：空中客车已经实施能量8计划了，目的就是要弥补因为A380交付延误造成的损失，故正确答案为A。B项并非直接原因。C项属于无关信息。D项属于结果而非原因。

9、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.

10、Citizen ScientistsUnderstanding how nature responds to climate change will require monitoring key life cycle event-flowering, the appearance of leaves, the first frog calls of the spring all around the world. But ecologists can\'t be everywhere so they\'re turning to non-scientists, sometimes called citizen scientists, fｏｒhelp. Climate scientists are not present everywhere. Because there are so many places in the world ａｎｄ　not enough scientists to observe all of them, they\'re asking fｏｒyour help in observing signs of climate change across the world. The citizen scientist movement encourages ordinary people too observe a very specific research interest-birds, trees, flowers budding, etc. ａｎｄ　send their observations to a giant ｄａｔａｂａｓｅ to be observed by professional scientists. This helps a small number of scientists track a large amount of data that they would never be able to gather on their own. Much like citizen journalists helping large publications cover a hyper-local beat, citizen scientists are ready fｏｒthe conditions where they live. All that\'s needed to become one is a few minutes each day ｏｒeach week to gather data ａｎｄ　send it in. Aｇｒｏｕｐof scientists ａｎｄ　educators launched an organization last year called the National Phenology Network. "Phenology" is what scientists call the study of the timing of events in nature. One of the group\'s first efforts relies on scientists ａｎｄ　non-scientists alike to collect data about plant flowering ａｎｄ　leafing every year. The program, called Project BudBurst, collects life cycle data on a variety of common plants from across the United States. People participating in the project which is open to everyone record their observations on the Project BudBurst website. "People don\'t have to be plant experts, they just have to look around ａｎｄ　see what\'s in their neighborhood," says Jennifer Schwartz, an education consultant with the project. "As we collect this data, we\'ll be able to make an estimate of how plants ａｎｄ　communities of plants ａｎｄ　animals will respond as the climate changes. "Ecologists turn to non-scientist citizens fｏｒhelp because they need them____. 【单选题】

A.to provide their personal life cycles

B.to observe the life cycle of plants

C.to collect data of the life cycle of living things

D.to teach children knowledge about climate change

正确答案:C

答案解析:前文提到科学家们没有可能去观察每一个地方的气候变化现象，所以邀请普通人为他们观察、收集信息。
