1、Dung to DeathFields across Europe are contaminated with dangerous levels of the antibiotics given to farm animals. The drugs, which are in manure sprayed onto fields as fertilizers, could be getting into our food and water, helping to create a new generation of antibiotic-resistant "superbugs". The warning comes from a researcher in Switzerland who looked at levels of the drugs in farm slurry ______Some 20,000 tons of antibiotics are used in the European unionand the US each year. More than half are given to farm-animals to prevent disease and promote growth. But recent research has found a direct link between the increased use of these farmyard drugs and the appearance of antibiotic-resistant bugs that infect people. Most researchers assumed that humans become infected with the resistant strains by eating contaminated meat. But far more of the drugs end. up in manure than in meat products, says Stephen Mueller of the Swiss Federal Institute forEnvironmental Science and Technology in Dubendorf. and manure contains especiaily high levels of bugs that are resistant to antibiotics he says.With millions of tons of animals manure spread onto fields of crops such as wheat and barley each year, this pathway seems an equally likely route forspreading resistance, he said. The drugs contaminate the crops, which are then eaten. They could also be leaching into tap water pumped from rocks beneath fertilized fields.Mueller is particularly concerned about agroupof antibiotics called sulphonamides. They do not easily degrade ordissolve in water. His analysis found that Swiss farm manure contains a high percentage of sulphonamides; each hectare of field could be contaminated with up to 1 kilogram of the drugs. This concentration is high enough to trigger the development of resistance among bacteria. But vets are not treating the issue seriously. There is growing concern at the extent to which drugs, including antibiotics, are polluting the environment. Many drugs given to humans are also excreted unchanged and are not broken down by conventional sewage treatment.【单选题】

A.They do not easily degrade ordissolve in water.

B.and manure contains especiaily high levels of bugs that are resistant to antibiotics he says.

C.Animal antibiotics is still an area to which insufficient attention has been paid

D.But recent research has found a direct link between the increased use of these farmyard drugs and the appearance of antibiotic-resistant bugs that infect people.

E.His findings are particularly shocking because Switzerland is one of the few countries to have banned antibiotics as growth promoters in animal dead.

F.They could also be leaching into tap water pumped from rocks beneath fertilized fields.

正确答案:E

答案解析:本句中包含he这个代词,故上文中必定有它的先行词,his findings又表明此人应该是从事科研工作的,句中又提到Switzerland,考虑这种种因素,填入E是正确的。

2、It is a marvel that he remained alive after dropping from the roofof a six-storied building. 【单选题】

A.curiosity

B.wonder

C.wander

D.spectacle

正确答案:B

答案解析:marvel和wonder都表示“奇迹”;curiosity:好奇心;wander:闲逛;spectacle:大场面、奇观。

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.Radar is used to determine the characteristics of radiocarbon.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:C

答案解析:本题有较大难度,答案依据不明显,需要通读全文作出判断。通读全文后可以发现文章并未提及使用雷达来进行放射性碳测定,所以本题是未提及的,答案是C。

4、Black HolesMost scientists agree that black holes exist but are nearly impossible to locate. A black hole in the universe is not a solid object, like a planet, but it is shaped like a sphere (球体). Astronomers (天文学家) think that at the center of a black hole there is a single point in space with infinite (无限的) density (稠密).This single point is called a singularity (奇点). If the singularity theory is correct, it means that when a massive star collapses, all the material in it disappears into the singularity. The center of a black hole would not really be a hole at all, but an infinitely dense point. Anything that crosses the black hole is pulled in by its great gravity.Although black holes do exist, they are difficult to observe. These are the reasons,?No light oranything else comes out of black holes. As a result, they are invisible to a telescope.?In astronomical terms, black holes are truly. Forexample, a black hole formed by the collapse of a giant star would have an event horizon (视界) only 18 miles across.?The nearest black holes would be dozens of light years away from Earth. One light year is about 6 trillion (万亿) miles. Even the most powerful telescopes could not pick out an object so small at such a great distance.In 1994 the Hubble Space Telescope provided evidence that black holes exist. There are still answers to be found, however, so black holes remain one of the mysteries of the universe. (2007年)The sun is the heaviest star in the universe.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:C

答案解析:题干大意:在宇宙中,太阳是最重的星体。用中心词the sun回到原文定位,文章并未提及与太阳相关的信息。故答案选C。

5、AIDSAs a science writer, I don\'t have to wear emotional armorvery often. Before I went to Zimbabwe fora visit, I had talked to other reporters who had spent time in Africa. All told me to get prepared forthe orphans, many of whom had caught the AIDS virus from their mothers and the strong desire to make everything all right forthem. Then again, nothing could have prepared me forthe visit to creche(育婴堂) forAIDS orphans in Harare, where one sick, smiling four-year-old boy tried to keep up with the other kids playing ring-around-the-rosy but was so weak he kept falling to the floor, ormeeting a 25-year-old unmarried girl who cared forher nephew Only when I got back about a week later The boy who called his aunt "Mama" was too weak even to take the piece of banana I offered. Meanwhile photojournalist Karin Retief was visiting a room at the hospice (济贫院) where she had been told a particularly sweet orphan boy stayed. At first she did not see anyone on the bed and was about to say he must be elsewhere, when suddenly she spotted his tiny arm in the air, his body lost in the folds of the bedclothes. Recently Karin wrote to me that she had been able to keep our assignment from taking too great an emotional suffering at the time. " ______, could I moum the people I met", she continued. "I sat in church and wanted to ask the priest to pray forthe people with AIDS in Zimbabwe and all over the world. Then all the people\'s faces, pain and suffering became so real, I could not get the words out. I broke down and cried and cried forthem". 【单选题】

A.where she had been told a particularly sweet orphan boy stayed

B.who had spent time in Africa

C.Only when I got back about a week later

D.even though her only income was from growing and selling a few vegetables at the local market

E.was so weak he kept falling to the floor

F.while we were visiting the orphans

正确答案:C

答案解析:句首需要大写,选项中只有C的开头是大写。另外后面的句子是倒装语序,就要考虑某些特殊的句式结构。因此选C。
