1、Houses of the FutureWhat will houses be like in thirty years\' time? No one really knows, but architects are trying to predict. What will our home be like then?Future houses will have to be flexible. In thirty years\' time even more of us will be working from home. So we will have to be able to use areas of the house fｏｒwork fｏｒpart of the day ａｎｄ　fｏｒliving fｏｒthe rest. Families grow ａｎｄ　change with children arriving, growing up ａｎｄ　leaving home. The house of the future will have to grow ａｎｄ　change with the family. Nothing will be as fixed as it is now. The house will always be changing to meet changing needs.Everyone agrees that in thirty years\' time we will be living in "intelligent" houses. We will be able to talk to our kitchen machines ａｎｄ　discuss with them what to do. Like this, "We\'ll be having a party this weekend. What food shall we cook?" ａｎｄ　the machine will tell us what food we will have to buy ａｎｄ　how to cook it. We will be able to leave most of the cooking to the machines, just tasting things from time to time to check.The house of the future will be personal, each house will be different. _____.You won\'t have to paint them-you\'ll be able to tell the wall to change the color! ａｎｄ　if you don\'t like the colｏｒthe next day, you will be able to have a new one. The only thing you won\'t be able to do is move the house somewhere else!【单选题】

A.You will be able to change the colｏｒof the wall easily.

B.The only thing you won\'t be able to do is move the house somewhere else!

C.ａｎｄ　the machine will tell us what food we will have to buy ａｎｄ　how to cook it.

D.What will our home be like then?

E.The house of the future will have to grow ａｎｄ　change with the family.

F.The kids might take their bedrooms with them as they leave.

2、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 word "defiant" (line 3, paragraph 4) most probably means ______.【单选题】

A.resisting

B.angry

C.deficient

D.confident

正确答案:A

答案解析:猜词题。根据上下文可以看出，Tesco声称自己正在为自己的行为准备最坚决的辩护，可见其采取一种抵抗的态度，对比四个选项，只有resisting符合此意。

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.When an organism dies, the C -14 in it begins to decay.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:A

答案解析:本题有一定难度，但答案依据比较明显。带着题干信息词回文章定位，文章最后一段第三句：Once an organism dies it stops taking in carbon in any form，ａｎｄ　the C - 14 already present begins to decay谈到一旦有机体死亡，就停止吸收任何形式的碳，现有的碳14也会逐渐衰变，题干是其近义解释，所以正确，答案是A。

5、The Threat to KiribatiThe people of Kiribati are afraid that one day in the not-too-distant future, their country will disappear from the face of the earth-literally. Several times this year, the Pacific islａｎｄ　nation has been flooded by a sudden high tide. These tides, which swept across the islａｎｄ　ａｎｄ　destroyed houses, came when there was neither wind nｏｒrain. "This never happened before," say the older citizens of Kiribati.What is causing these mysterious high tides? The answer may well be global warming. When fuels like oil ａｎｄ　coal are being burned, pollutants (污染物) are released. These pollutants trap heat in the earth\'s atmosphere. Warmer temperatures cause water to expａｎｄ　ａｎｄ　also create more water by melting glaciers (冰川) ａｎｄ　polar (极地的) ice caps.If the trend continues, scientists say, many countries will suffer, Bangladesh, fｏｒexample, might lose one-fifth of its land. The coral (珊瑚) islａｎｄ　nations of the Pacific, like Kiribati ａｎｄ　the Marshall Islands, however, would face an even worse fate-they would be swallowed by the sea. The loss of these coral islands would be everyone\'s loss. Coral formations are home to more species than any other place on earth.The people of these nations feel frustrated. The sea, on which their economies have always been based, is suddenly threatening their existence. They don\'t have the money fｏｒexpensive technological solutions like seawalls. ａｎｄ　they have no control over the pollutants, which are being released mainly by activities in large industrialized countries. All they can do is to hope that industrialized countries will take steps to reduce pollution.The people of the coral islａｎｄ　nations are unable to do anything substantial about the problem of global warming.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:C

答案解析:题干大意：珊瑚岛国家的人对全球变暖问题无能为力。文章没有提到任何有关珊瑚岛国家的人的看法，故答案选C。

6、How to Interview PeopleInterviewing (采访) is one of those skills that you can only get better at. You will never again feel so ill at ease when you try it fｏｒthe first time, ａｎｄ　probably you\'ll never feel entirely comfortable trying to get from another person answers that he ｏｒshe may be too shy to reveal. But at least half of the skill is mechanical. The rest is instinct, which can all be learned with experience.The basic tools fｏｒan interview are paper ａｎｄ　two ｏｒthree well-sharpened pencils. But keep your notebook ｏｒpaper out of sight until you need it. There\'s nothing less likely to relax a person than the arrival of someone with a note-taking pad. Both of you need time to get to know each other. Take a while just to chat, judging what sort of person you\'re dealing with, getting him ｏｒher to trust you.Never go into an interview without doing whatever homework you can. If you are interviewing a town official, know his voting record. If it\'s an actor, know what plays he has been in. ______Many beginning interviewers are afraid that they are forcing the other person to answer questions ａｎｄ　have no right to inquire about his personal secrets. This fear is almost 103 percent unnecessary. Unless the person really hates being interviewed, he is delighted that somebody wants to interview him. Most men ａｎｄ　women lead lives that are uninteresting, ａｎｄ　they grasp any chance to talk to an outsider who seems eager to listen.This doesn\'t necessarily mean that it will go well. In general you will be talking to people who have never been interviewed before, ａｎｄ　they will get used to the process awkwardly, perhaps not giving you anything that you can use. Come back another day; it will go better. You will both even begin to enjoy it-proof that you aren\'t forcing your victim to do something he doesn\'t really want to.【单选题】

A.Come back another day; it will go better.

B.But at least half of the skill is mechanical.

C.As one philosopher interviewed in the film notes, they lack irony.

D.You will not be liked if you inquire about facts that you could have learned in advance.

E.This fear is almost 102 percent unnecessary.

F.Both of you need time to get to know each other.

正确答案:D

答案解析:空句前一直在说要提前进行准备，If it\'s an actor, know what plays he has been in，当然如果在采访一个人之前对被采访者没有任何了解肯定不会受欢迎。

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. What is the primary duty of the snow ranger?【单选题】

A.To make sure ski area operators are following safety rules.

B.To predict ａｎｄ　control avalanches in mountainous areas.

C.To check skis ａｎｄ　repair them.

D.To forecast the weather.

正确答案:B

答案解析:A:确保滑雪场地的操作员遵守安全规则；B：预测和控制山区的雪崩；C：检查并修理雪橇；D:预测天气。依据常识和前一题判断B最合理。

8、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. The last paragraph tells us that____. 【单选题】

A.chimpanzees can do better than human children

B.chimpanzees can do many things that human children cannot do

C.human children can do many things that chimpanzees cannot do

D.the intelligence of chimpanzees is similar to that of human children

正确答案:D

答案解析:文章最后一段指出，黑猩猩是所有猿中最聪明的，可以做人类儿童能做的事情，由此推断，黑猩猩的智力与人类儿童的智力相似，故选D。

9、Arctic MeltEarth\'s North ａｎｄ　South Poles are famous fｏｒbeing cold ａｎｄ　icy. Last year, however, the amount of ice in the Arctic Ocean (北冰群) fell to a record low.Normally, ice builds in Arctic waters around the North Pole each winter ａｎｄ　shrinks(缩小) 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 thinnest levels. 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 made scientists concerned to.There may be several reasons fｏｒthe ice melt, says Jinlun Zhang, an oceanographer (海洋学家)at the University of Washington in 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 3.57 Celsius warmer than the average ａｎｄ　1.5c warmer than the previous record.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 was measured just 50 cm by season\'s endThe new measurements suggest that melting is far more severe than the thinking of scientists. Some scientists fear that the Arctic is stuck in a warming trend.It can be learned from the last sentence that ______.【单选题】

A.the ice melt in the Arctic may never stop

B.scientists are trying hard to stop the ice melt in the Arctic

C.scientists are delighted to find out what is going on in the Arctic

D.the warming trend in the Arctic can be reversed in the near future

正确答案:A

答案解析:本题难度不大，最后一句话的句意不难理解。文章最后一句谈到，科学家们担心北极处于变暖趋势，而且不能挽回，答案是B。

10、The test produced disappointing results.【单选题】

A.unsatisfactory

B.indirect

C.similar

D.positive

正确答案:A

答案解析:实验结果令人失望。本题难度不大，也是送分题，可以确认disappointing和unsatisfactory都是“失望的，让人不满意的”意思，所以最佳答案是A。
