Part I
Reading Comprehension (40 points)

Section A

Directions:

In this section, there is a short passage followed by 5 questions. Read the

passage carefully and then give brief answers to the questions below in the

fewest words possible. (5×2′=10)

Passage 1

Every second, 1 hectare of the world’s

rainforest is destroyed. That’s equivalent to two

football fields. An area the size of New York City is lost every day. In a

year, that adds up to 31 million hectares—more than the land area of Poland. This alarming rate of destruction

has serious consequences for the environment; scientists estimate, for example,

that 137 species of plant, insect or animal become extinct every day due to

logging. In British Columbia, where, since 1990, thirteen rainforest valleys

have been clear cut, 142 species of salmon have already become extinct, and the

habitats of grizzly bears, wolves and many other creatures are threatened.

Logging, however, provides jobs, profits, taxes for the government and cheap

products of all kinds for consumers, so the government is reluctant to restrict

or control it.

Much of Canada’s

forestry production goes towards making pulp and paper. According to the

Canadian Pulp and Paper Association, Canada supplies 34% of the world’s wood

pulp and 49% of its newsprint paper. If these paper products could be produced

in some other way, Canadian forests could be preserved. Recently, a possible

alternative way of producing paper has been suggested by agriculturalists and

environmentalists: a plant called hemp.

Hemp has been

cultivated by many cultures for thousands of years. It produces fiber which can

be made into paper, fuel, oils, textiles, food, and rope. For many centuries,

it was essential to the economies of many countries because it was used to make

the ropes and cables used on sailing ships; colonial expansion and the

establishment of a world wide trading network would not have been possible

without hemp. Nowadays, ships’ cables are usually made from wire or synthetic

fibers, but scientists are now suggesting that the cultivation of hemp should

be revived for the production of paper and pulp. According to its proponents,

four times as much paper can be produced from land using hemp rather than

trees, and many environmentalists believe that the large-scale cultivation of

hemp could reduce the pressure on Canada’s forests.

However, there

is a problem: hemp is illegal in many countries of the world. This plant, so

useful for fiber, rope, oil, fuel and textiles, is a species of cannabis,

related to the plant from which marijuana is produced. In the late 1930s, a

movement to ban the drug marijuana began to gather force, resulting in the

eventual banning of the cultivation not only of the plant used to produce the

drug, but also of the commercial fiber-producing hemp plant. Although both

George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew hemp in large quantities on their

own land, any American growing the plant today would soon find himself in

prison—despite the fact that marijuana cannot be produced from the hemp plant,

since it contains almost no THC (the active ingredient in the drug).

In recent years,

two major movements for legalization have been gathering strength. One group of

activists believes that ALL cannabis should be legal—both the hemp plant and

the marijuana plant—and that the use of the drug marijuana should not be an

offense. They argue that marijuana is not dangerous or addictive, and that it

is used by large numbers of people who are not criminals but productive members

of society. They also point out that marijuana is less toxic than alcohol or

tobacco. The other legalization movement is concerned only with the hemp plant

used to produce fiber; this group wants to make it legal to cultivate the plant

and sell the fiber for paper and pulp production. This second group has had a

major triumph recently: in 1997, Canada legalized the farming of hemp for

fiber. For the first time since 1938, hundreds of farmers are planting this

crop, and soon we can expect to see pulp and paper produced from this new

source.

1 Why is pulp

and paper production important to Canada?

2 Who is

suggesting that pulp and paper could be produced without cutting down trees?

3 Why was the

plant hemp essential to world-wide trade in the past?

4 Why do

agriculturalists think that hemp would be better for paper production than

trees?

5 What chemical

ingredient of cannabis plants is a powerful drug?

【答案与解析】

1 Because pulp

and paper production provides large benefits for both governments and consumers.

（第一段最后一句说到，由于伐木为政府提供了就业机会、利润和税收，为消费者提供了廉价产品，因此政府不愿限制或控制它。）

2 Agriculturalists

and environmentalists.

（第二段最后一句说到，农业学家和环保主义者提出了一种可能的替代方法：一种叫做大麻的植物。）

3 Because it

was used to make the ropes and cables used on sailing ships.

（由第三段可知，许多个世纪以来，它对许多国家的经济都是至关重要的，因为它被用来制造帆船上使用的绳索；没有大麻，殖民扩张和建立世界范围的贸易网络将不可能完成。）

4 Because four

times as much paper can be produced from land using hemp rather than trees.

（第三段最后说到在同样多的土地上，种植大麻所造的纸是种树造纸数量的四倍。）

5 THC.

（倒数第二段最后说到了THC是毒品中的有效成分。）

Section B

Directions:

There are 7 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some

questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices

marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice. (30×1′=30 points)

Passage 2

The most precious fluid on earth is not oil,

but water. Water is basic to life and health. A

person can survive several days or even weeks without food, but only a short

time without water. Over 1 billion people worldwide have no access to safe

drinking water. There are few challenges as important as conserving the world’s

usable water and supplying clean drinking water and water for irrigation to

those who need it. Yet this work is not getting done. Humans are depleting the

earth’s store of usable water at a rate that will soon threaten our food

supply. Poor water management already kills millions of people a year and

condemns hundreds of millions to hunger.

The technology

exists to solve these problems. Providing slums with drinking water and

sanitation, for example, is easy to do and a cost-effective way to prevent

deaths and disease. But because those who suffer are poor, their access to

water is rarely a political priority. There is now an opportunity for progress.

More than 100 water ministers from around the world, along with thousands of

water experts from villagers to scientists, have gathered in the Netherlands.

The conference will be useful if it can persuade governments and international

banks to pay more attention to conservation and fair distribution of water.

In 1980, the

U.N. set a goal of safe drinking water for all by 1990. Because of

international prodding, about two billion new people received clean drinking

water over the subsequent 14 years. A new commitment is urgently needed to

spread these health gains, help poor farmers and conserve the world’s precious

supply of usable water.

political priority.”

A. cause/effect

B. listing of

C.

7 B此题问道本文的组织模式是怎样的，文章中作者罗列了一些现象，由此表达了他的观点，因此B项正确。chronological

order时间顺序。spatial

order空间顺序。

8 A由这句话中的“because”可知，两个分句之间是因果关系。

9 D题目问道下列哪项陈述是事实。最后一段第二句说到，由于国际上的努力，能够引用干净的饮用水的人新增了大约20亿。

10 C由文章中“The most precious fluid on earth is not oil, but water.”，“There are few challenges as

important as conserving the world’s usable water…”可知，作者的说法夸张，因此他的语气是“武断的”。

Passage 3

Experts say these programs are probably the

ones used to jam the Internet’s most popular sites:

Called Tribal Village, abbreviated TFN, and Trinoo. They are Internet time

bombs.

Allison Taylor

of Network Associates says, “They’re road maps for people to copy from and

then you have copycat attacks over and over and over.” We found them in

several places; they’re prepackaged. The hacker downloads and hacks the program

into a number of unsuspecting computers.

John Vranesevich

of Antionline.com says, “That software application simply sits there

dormant until a hacker has gotten a large enough collection that he chooses to

activate those, and then from his machine he can activate those and point then

to a specific target.”

The targets so

far this week, at least, Yahoo, eBay, Amazon, CNN, Buy, eTrade and zdNet. The

costs are mounting.

Philip Allingham

of ZDTV says, “There’s advertising revenue that comes from the banners,

but more importantly, providing news and information out there for our

viewership. They can’t come and find out from us; they’re going to go somewhere

else.”

This kind of

hack floods a website with so many requests it can’t cope.

Sources tell CNN

that Yahoo was hammered with requests at one gigabyte per second. That’s like

104-million people dialing in at once.

The website

AntiOnline posts the software publicly hoping someone will create a fix.

Richard Power of

the Computer Security Institute says, “The only things you can do is

secure your site well enough so that your site can’t be used by a hacker as a

launching point.”

And many failed

the test.

Allison Taylor

says, “For this attack to happen on all these companies, there had to be

lots of computers out there that were vulnerable.”

Webmasters are

in a tough spot.

Kevin Purseglove

of eBay says, “The basic aspect of an Internet site is to be open and

accessible to the public.”

And vulnerable to

what experts are now calling hacktivists. Why do this? Best guess: acclaim from

other hackers.

Kevin Purseglove

says, “and if they weren’t out breaking these sites and trying to take

them down, they’d be out tagging their initials on tall buildings.”

Richard Power

says, “It could be a hacktivist or a number of hacktivists who are sick

and tired of the commercialization of the Internet.”

So far all of

the targets have been very large, and very commercial.

11 A hacker is

______.

A. someone who

breaks into and uses someone else’s computer

B. someone who

breaks commercials

C. someone who

fixes someone else’s computer

D. someone who

does not know about computers

12 The programs

which were used by the hackers were ______.

A. made by the

hackers and put on computers

B. not found by

the experts

C. prepackaged

and found on many computers

D. hard to find

13 Yahoo, eBay,

Amazon, CNN, Buy, eTrade and zNet are ______.

A. stores on the

web

B. large

commercial web sites

C. small

commercial web sites

D. public government

web sites

14 If someone

sends a message the size of one gigabyte, ______.

A. it is a

large.

B. it is very

small

C. it takes

little time for a computer to read.

D. it is the

size of a short note.

15 Hackers can

do this because ______.

A. computers are

hard to reach

B. everyone has

their computers locked

C. computers are

not very secure

D. companies ask

them to do it

【答案与解析】

11 A  由第二段“The hacker downloads and hacks the program into…”可知，黑客可以入侵并使用别人的电脑。

12 C  第二段中说到“We found them in several places; they’re prepackaged.”，因此C项正确。

13 B  由最后一段最后一句“So far all of the targets have been very large, and very commercial.”可知，这些网站都是“large”、“commercial”。

14 A  根据第七段“one gigabyte per second”就像是“104-million people dialing in at once”，由此可见其非常大。

15 C  由Allison Taylor的话可知，受攻击的电脑都很“vulnerable”，也就是不安全。

Passage 4

In North Beach in San Francisco, where some

pretty super food gets served every night.

“Absolutely very

super food! “ “I really like the taste” are comments by two diners.

But we’re not

just talking about taste. Research now shows some foods, including tomatoes,

onions, garlic, and olive oil—are among the super foods. Super foods are packed

with powerful chemicals that may offer your body great protection against

chronic disease—“Including cancer, obesity, and heart disease. Vibrantly

colored red yellow orange and green all giving you different types of

phytochemicals!”

Natalie Ledesma

is a registered dietician at U.C.S.F. She says compounds found in super foods—called

phytochemicals—can reduce the risk of cancer, boost the immune system, and even

protect the heart. She showed us what everyone should try to eat each week for

optimal health.

On her shopping list?

Herbs!

“Dark green ones

(herbs), like rosemary and thyme,

And any

intensely colored spice, like tumeric or red pepper.”

“Both of those

have anti-inflammatory properties.”

Tumeric may

reduce the risk of leukemia, skin, and liver cancers. Hot peppers may reduce

the risk of colon, stomach, and rectal cancers. Also on the list: green

veggies, but not just any green veggies.

“Brussel

sprouts are part of the cruciferous vegetable family that has significant

anti-cancer properties,” said Ledesma. “That family also has a very

favorable effect on hormone metabolism.”

Other

cruciferous veggies include cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower. And don’t

forget the tomato.

“It is

probably the best source of lycopene, which is one of the phytochemicals that

has shown significant anticancer properties, especially with prostate and

potentially lung and breast cancer as well,” said Ledesma.

As for fruit,

citrus contains Vitamin C, limonoids, and phenols, which inactivate cancer

cells and strengthen the immune system. Cantaloupes, mangos, and carrots

contain cancer-fighting carotenoids. And berries are bursting with flavonoids

and ellagic acid—antioxidants that protect against cancer, ulcers, and viruses.

Natalie recommends organic.

“Organic

fruits and veggies have shown not only to have lower pesticide toxicities and

lower pesticide levels, but also now have been shown to have higher

phytochemical content,” she said.

Don’t forget the

fatty fish or flaxseed—both are excellent sources of Omega Three fatty acids that inhibit

the growth of cancer cells and boost the immune system, olive oil, which may

reduce breast, prostate, or colon cancer, and soy.

“Soy has

protective effects for heart disease as well as osteoporosis,

potentially,” Ledesma said.

And finally

onions, garlic, and shallots. They may protect the heart, fight cancer, and

help with asthma.

16 Poor Mrs.

Atkins. She has arthritis in both knees and has _____ pain that makes it hard

for her to walk.

A. organic

B. chronic

C. protective

D. optimal

17 Reducing the

amount of sugar, white flour, and alcohol in your diet will _____ your energy

level and overall health.

A. boost

B. protect

C. inhibit

D. risk

18 Which foods

contain carotenoids?

A. citrus and

cantaloupes

B. citrus and

cantaloupes

C. citrus and

berries

D. mangos and

carrots

19 How do omega

three fatty acids help the body?

A. They have

anti-inflammatory properties

B. They inhibit

the growth of cancer cells

C. They reduce

the risk of prostate cancer

D. They prevent

osteoporosis

20 Organic

fruits and vegetables_____.

A. have higher

levels of lycopene

B. have higher

levels of phytochemicals

C. both A and B

D. only B.

【答案与解析】

16 B  arthritis的意思是“关节炎”，因此其疼痛为“慢性”的。

17 A  减少糖、精白面粉和酒精的摄入能够“促进”身体健康，health应该与boost搭配。

18 D  根据倒数第四段中“Cantaloupes, mangos, and carrots contain cancer-fighting

carotenoids.”可知D项正确。

19 B  倒数第三段说到其作用是“inhibit the growth of cancer cells and boost the immune system”。

20 D  由倒数第三段可知，有机水果和蔬菜“have higher phytochemical content”。

Passage 5

Social circumstances in Early Modern England mostly served to

repress women’s voices. Patriarchal culture and

institutions constructed them as chaste, silent, obedient, and subordinate. At

the beginning of the 17th century, the ideology of patriarchy, political

absolutism, and gender hierarchy were reaffirmed powerfully by King James in

The Trew Law of Free Monarchie and the Basilikon Doron; by that ideology the

absolute power of God the supreme patriarch was seen to be imaged in the

absolute monarch of the state and in the husband and father of a family.

Accordingly, a woman’s subjection, first to her father and then to her husband,

imaged the subjection of English people to their monarch, and of all Christians

to God. Also, the period saw an outpouring of repressive or overtly misogynist

sermons, tracts, and plays, detailing women’s physical and mental defects,

spiritual evils, rebelliousness, shrewishness, and natural inferiority to men.

Yet some social

and cultural conditions served to empower women. During the Elizabethan era

(1558-1603) the culture was dominated by a powerful Queen, who provided an

impressive female example though she left scant cultural space for other women.

Elizabethan women writers began to produce original texts but were occupied

chiefly with translation. In the 17th century, however, various circumstances

enabled women to write original texts in some numbers. For one thing, some counterweight

to patriarchy was provided by female communities—mothers and daughters,

extended kinship networks, close female friends, the separate court of Queen

Anne (King James’ consort) and her often oppositional masques and political

activities. For another, most of these women had a reasonably good education

(modern languages, history, literature, religion, music, occasionally Latin)

and some apparently found in romances and histories more expansive terms for

imagining women’s lives. Also, representation

of vigorous and rebellious female characters in literature and especially

on the stage no doubt helped to undermine any monolithic social construct of

women’s mature and role.

Most important,

perhaps, was the radical potential inherent in the Protestant insistence on

every Christian’s immediate relationship with God and primary responsibility to

follow his or her individual conscience. There is plenty of support in St

Paul’s epistles and elsewhere in the Bible for patriarchy and a wife’s

subjection to her husband, but some texts (notably Galatians 3:28) inscribe a

very different politics, promoting women’s spiritual equality: “There is

neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male

nor female: for ye are all one in Jesus Christ.” Such texts encouraged some

women to claim the support of God the supreme patriarch against the various

earthly patriarchs who claimed to stand toward them in his stead.

There is also

the gap or slippage between ideology and common experience. English women

throughout the 17th century exercised a good deal of accrual power: as managers

of estates in their husbands’ absences at court or on military and diplomatic

missions; as members of guilds; as wives and mothers who apex during the

English Civil War and Interregnum (1640-60) as the execution of the King and

the attendant disruption of social hierarchies led many women to seize new

roles—as preachers, as prophetesses, as deputies for exiled royalist husbands,

as writers of religious and political tracts.

21 What is the

best title for this passage?

A. Women’s

Position in the 17th Century.

B. Women’s

Subjection to Patriarchy.

C. Social

Circumstances in the 17th Century.

D. Women’s

objection in the 17th Century.

22 What did the

Queen Elizabeth do for the women in culture?

A. She set an

impressive female example to follow.

B. She dominated

the culture.

C. She did

little.

D. She allowed

women to translate something.

23 Which of the

following is Not mention as a reason to enable women to original texts?

A. Female

communities provided some counterweight to patriarchy.

B. Queen Anne’s

political activities.

C. Most women

had a good education.

D. Queen

Elizabeth’s political activities.

24 What did the

religion do for the women?

A. It did

nothing.

B. It too asked

women to be obedient except some texts.

C. It supported

women.

D. It appealed

to the God.

【答案与解析】

21 A  本文主要介绍了17世纪女性地位发生的变化。

22 C  第二段说到，虽然伊丽莎白树立了令人难忘的女性形象，但是“she left scant cultural space for other women”，因此她为妇女们做的贡献很少。

23 D  第二段中提到，第一个原因是“some counterweight to patriarchy was provided by female communities”，其中包括“the separate court of

Queen Anne and her often oppositional masques and political activities”。第二个原因是“most of these women had

a reasonably good education”。第三原因是“representation of vigorous and rebellious female characters”。因此只有D项没有提及。

24 B  由倒数第二段可知，宗教文学中支持“patriarchy and a wife’s subjection to her husband”，但是一些文本“promoting women’s

spiritual equality”，因此B项正确。

Passage 6

It was the worst tragedy in maritime history, six times more deadly than

the Titanic.When the German

cruise ship Wilhelm Gustloff was hit by torpedoes fired from a Russian

submarine in the final winter of World War II, more than 10,000 people – mostly

women, children and old people fleeing the final Red Army push into Nazi

Germany – were packed aboard. An ice storm had turned the decks into frozen

sheets that sent hundreds of families sliding into the sea as the ship tilted

and began to go down. Others desperately tried to put lifeboats down. Some who

succeeded fought off those in the water who had the strength to try to claw

their way aboard. Most people froze immediately. I’ll never forget the

screams,” says Christa Ntitzmann, 87, one of the 1,200 survivors. She

recalls watching the ship, brightly lit, slipping into its dark grave – and

into seeming nothingness, rarely mentioned for more than half a century.

Now Germany’s

Nobel Prize-winning author Gtinter Grass has revived the memory of the 9,000

dead, including more than 4,000 children – with his latest novel Crab Walk, published

last month. The book, which will be out in English next year, doesn’t dwell on

the sinking; its heroine is a pregnant young woman who survives the catastrophe

only to say later: “Nobody wanted to hear about it, not here in the West

(of Germany) and not at all in the East.” The reason was obvious. As Grass

put it in a recent interview with the weekly Die Woche: “Because the

crimes we Germans are responsible for were and are so dominant, we didn’t have

the energy left to tell of our own sufferings.’’

The long silence

about the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff was probably unavoidable – and

necessary. By unreservedly owning up to their country’s monstrous crimes in the

Second World War, Germans have managed to win acceptance abroad, marginalize

the neo- Nazis at home and make peace with their neighbors. Today’s unified

Germany is more prosperous and stable than at any time in its long, troubled

history. For that, a half century of willful forgetting about painful memories

like the German Titanic was perhaps a reasonable price to pay. But even the

most politically correct Germans believe that they’ ye now earned the right to

discuss the full historical record. Not to equate German suffering with that of

its victims, but simply to acknowledge a terrible tragedy.

25 Why does the

author say the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff was the worst tragedy in

maritime history?

A. It was

attacked by Russian torpedoes.

B. Most of its

passengers were frozen to death.

C. Its victims

were mostly women and children.

D. It caused the

largest number of casualties.

26 The Wilhelm

Gustloff tragedy was little talked about for more than half a century because

Germans _____.

A. were eagerto

win international acceptance

B. had been

pressured to keep silent about it

C. were afraid of

offending their neighbors

D. felt guilty

for their crimes in World War II

27 How does

Gunter Grass revive the memory of the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy?

A. By presenting

the horrible scene of the torpedo attack.

B. By describing

the ship’s sinking in great detail.

C. By giving an

interview to the weekly Die Woche.

D. By depicting

the survival of a young pregnant woman.

28 It can be

learned from the passage that Germans no longer think that _____.

A. they will be

misunderstood if they talk about the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy

B. the Wilhelm

Gustloff tragedy is a reasonable price to pay for the nation’s past misdeeds

C. Germany is

responsible for the horrible crimes it committed in World War II

D. itis wrong to

equate their sufferings with those of other countries

【答案与解析】

25 D  文章第一句说到“It was the worst tragedy in marl- time (航海的)history，six times more deadly than the

Titanic…”，即Wilhelm

Gustloff被认为是世界上最惨烈的悲剧原因是死亡人数最多。

26 D  第二段最后一句话说到“Because the crimes we Germans are responsible for were and are so

dominant, we didn’t have the energy left to tell of our own sufferings.”，由此可见她们不愿谈论起这场悲剧的原因是为自己在二战中的罪行感到内疚。

27 D  第二段说到他的这本书“doesn’t dwell on the sinking; its heroine is a pregnant young woman

who survives the catastrophe only to say later.”，由此可见他是通过描绘一位年轻孕妇的幸存来重现了Wilhelm Gustloff的悲剧。

28 A  根据文章倒数第二句“But even the most politically correct Germans believe that they’ve

now earned the right to discuss the full historical record(但是甚至政治立场最正确的德国人也相信他们现在已经赢得讨论整个历史记录的权力)”，可以推断出德国人不再认为他们讨论这一事件时将会被误解了，因此答案为A项。

Passage 7

Academic thieves beware. While the Internet

has placed a wealth of research papers at the fingertips

of students, a new Web site could help professors catch plagiarizers

red-handed.Some students actually research and write their term-papers the

old-fashioned way. Others, however, just copy fake ones off the Internet and

turn them in as their work.

To prevent collegiate copycats, two

graduate students at the University of California

at Berkeley have devised a program that compares a student’s submission with every

other term- paper on the Web.

“We

essentially search a hundred million Web pages on the Internet, interfacing

with the top 20 search engines,” said John Barrie, of www.plagiarism.org.

“We also compare that with our local data base of term papers.”

Teachers who

sign up can send their students’ papers to the Web site. The originality of the

work, or lack thereof, becomes painfully clear within 24 hours.

“We code

every sentence that was a word-for-word match with another sentence, either

contained on the Internet or within our database,” Barrie said.

David Presti, a

U.C. Berkeley professor who teaches neurobiology, told his class he would use

the program. Undaunted, numerous students plagiarized anyway.

“We ran all

300 papers through the program and found 45 of them, or 15 percent of students,

had cut and pasted significant amounts of material from various World Wide Web

sites without citations,” Presti said.

Students falsely

accused can have the opportunity to defend themselves. They can show the

instructors “that indeed they haven’t got their material from the Internet

or some other source,” Barrie said.

Competition is

tough at prestigious universities like U.C. Berkeley. Some students welcome the

Internet research watchdog, considering it a way to level the academic playing

field.

“I think

it’s justified academically. Plagiarizing is wrong,” one said.

29 Using the program developed at

University of California at Berkeley, the papers are checked by using

_____.

A. printing and

looking carefully at hundreds of papers on the internet.

B. a search of

many web pages and a comparison of words used.

C. asking the

student where they got the information in the paper.

D. comparing all

the papers which are turned in by the students.

30 If teachers

want to find out if their students wrote their own papers, _____.

A. they ask

other teachers to read their students’ papers.

B. they ask

their students to list their sources of information.

C. they can sign

tip for the internet service.

D. they search

the internet and compare papers.

31 Out of 300

papers checked for fakes, _____.

A. 255 were

originals

B. 4-5 were

originals.

C. 85% were

fakes

D. 155 were

originals.

32 When two

independent systems meet and communicate, they are _____.

A. interfacing

B. interlocking

C. exploding

D. combining

【答案与解析】

29 B  第三段中说到他们检查论文的方法是“search a hundred million Web pages on the Internet… compare that

with our local data base of term papers”。

30 C  第四段第一句说到“Teachers who sign up can send their students’ papers to the Web

site.”，因此C项正确。

31 A  根据倒数第四段，300篇论文中有45篇“had cut and pasted significant

amounts of material from various World Wide Web sites without citations”，因此其他的是原创的。

32 A  当两个独立的系统接触并交流时，他们是在“interface”。interface（使通过界面或接口）接合，连接；使联系。

Passage 8

It’s becoming very dangerous to sit in the sun. If you have a

fashionable sun tan, it doesn’t necessarily mean

that you have lots of outdoor activities- but it does mean that you’re n

greater danger of getting skin cancer and cataracts.

The ozone layer,

which protects us from the sun’s dangerous ultra-violet rays, is progressively

deteriorating. In February 1992 a scientific report said that people in Canada,

Northern Europe and Russia were in serious danger.

In 1985, the

news of destruction of the ozone layer in the South Pole alarmed people in the

Southern Hemisphere. In Australia, there are now three times more cases of skin

cancer than in the past. In New Zealand, teachers tell schoolchildren to wear

hats and nor to sit in the sun.

What causes the

destruction of the ozone layer? Mostly chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Aerosol

sprays, refrigerators, air conditioners, as well as industrial chemicals, send

chlorofluorocarbons into the atmosphere.

Australia governmentis

now trying very hard to forbid CFCs, but it is expensive and difficult to do

so. After the first ozone alarm in the Southern Hemisphere, ecologists allover

the world asked governments to take strict measures immediately. Some

governments did, but not soon enough. Other countries believe that they have

problems which are more important. Now stricter measures are going to be taken,

but already a lot of damage has been done.

33 What is

dangerous to the skin?

A. the ozone

layer

B. the

atmosphere

C. ultra-violet

ray

D.

chlorofluorocarbons

34 CFCs are

caused by _____.

A. governments

B. ecologists

C. aerosol

sprays and industries

D. pollution

35 Australia_____.

A. is taking

measures

B. refuses to

sell aerosol sprays

C. is not

concerned by this problem

D. doesn’t take

it seriously

【答案与解析】

33 C  由第二段可知，臭氧层“protects us from the sun’s dangerous ultra-violet rays”，由此可见紫外线对我们的皮肤有害。

34 C  根据倒数第二段，释放CFCs的有“aerosol

sprays, refrigerators, air conditioners, as well as industrial chemicals”，因此C项正确。

35 A  由最后一段可知，澳大利亚正在采取措施，因此A项正确。

The best way to

adapt oneself to societyand to get rich knowledge is reading. No entertainment

is cheaper than reading, and no pleasure lasts longer than reading. Reading can

enrich people’s life, enable people keep pace with time and pure people’s heart.

First of all,

reading makes people’s life more colorful. He, who reads, is not constrained by

his own experience.Through a book, they can transcend time and space and focus

on the unknown. According to a renowned ancient Chinese philosopher Xunzi, you

will never be unaware of the height of the sky until you climb a high mountain.

There are many unknown areas in our life, and reading acts as a master key which

opens doors for us to see a bigger and better world. Reading books gives us

strength to overcome difficulties. Reading makes life more meaningful and makes

life more exciting. The book is a good teacher, it lights the way of life.

There is no constant teacher for sages, if any, it must be the book.

In addition,

reading helps people keep up with the times. The book, which records history,

reflects the present and predicts the future. Over the past 50 years, human

society has created more knowledge than the past 3,000 years combined. In the

agrarian age, one can live on his knowledge from several years’ learning. But

now, an age of knowledge economy, one must keep learning throughout all his

life to keep up with the times.

Moreover, reading

is a process of stripping away obstacles in the mind and pure our heart. An

elegant mind derives from books. Elegant behaviors are only superficial,

instead, an elegant soul is more precious and rare. People who read a lot are

open-minded and have a special taste of life. As an old saying goes, one who is

filled with knowledge always behaves with elegance. Nowadays, most of us are

absorbed in entertainments, thus the whole society is full of fickle ambience.

Through reading, we can slow down and ask ourselves these questions in silence:

Who Am I? What does my heart desire? Your heart will tell you to keep a lily-white

heart from being tainted by the society.

In a word,

reading makes our life more colorful. It gives us inspiration of the latest

thoughts and things. And the most important thing is that it helps us keep pure

in an age of extravagance and waste.
