Ancient Water From Afar
It streaked across the sky on a warm March evening last year, then crashed into a street in the small town of Monahans, Texas. When seven boys quit their basketball game to inspect the damage, they found a shiny, black grapefruit-size rock settled in the asphalt (瀝青). Word of them “flaming rock”traveled quickly in newspapers and on TV. The next day, NASA scientist Everett Gibson arrived and took the meteorite(隕石), later named Monahans 1998, back to a lab in Houston. There researchers broke open the extraterrestrial(地球外的)rock with a hammer and chisel (鑿子). To their surprise, they struck water. A team led by Michael Zolensky of the Johnson Space Center reports this discovery in a journal. It's the first time anyone has found liquid water in an object from space-and a suggestion that life may exist outside our planet.
Meteorites containing water are probably not scarce, Zolensky says. But by the time researchers get their hands on the rocks, minerals that trap the water have dissolved away, and the water have evaporated. Worse, some researchers destroy the evidence by cutting meteorites open with rock saws and water. “I'm betting this isn't such a rare find; it's just that people have been mistreating their meteorites, ”Zolensky says.
Of course, Zolensky's team did get a bit lucky. Monahans 1998 was safe in their lab less than two days after it hit the Earth, so they examined an unusually fresh sample. The scientists were keen to find vivid purple crystals of halite (巖鹽)inside the meteorite, since halite is a salt mineral usually formed from liquid water. Even more curious were the hundreds of tiny bubbles suspended in the halite crystals. Zolensky's team analyzed the bubbles by shining a laser beam through them and confirmed they were made of salty brine (鹽水).
By dating the halite, Zolensky's team found the water trapped inside it formed at least 4.5 billion years ago, back when most scientists believe our solar system was born. That means the briny object any help researchers learn about the gaseous nebulas(星云)that gave rise to our sun and planets.
But how did the meteorite get wet? One possibility is that a passing comet smashed into the rock, dropping off a load of liquid water. Or the rock might have chipped off an asteroid (小行星)that holds pools of fluid. Zolensky's team still needs to study whether the water comes from our own solar system. One thing is certain, however: the Monahans meteorite will fuel the debate on extraterrestrial life, "Water is a life-giver, so if you want to study where life came from in the solar system, you have to follow where water came from,"Zolensky says. A wet rock from
space doesn't mean little green men are coming soon to a planet near you, but it does raise hopes that we're not alone in the universe.

Heartbeat of America
1 New York--the Statue of Liberty, the skyscrapers, the beautiful shops on Fifth Avenue and the many theaters on Broadway. This is America's cultural capital. It is also her biggest city, with a population of nearly 8 million. In the summer it is hot, hot, hot and in the winter it can be very cold. Still there are hundreds of things to do and see all the year round.
2 Manhattan is the real center of the city. When people say “New York City,” they usually mean Manhattan. Most of the interesting shops, buildings and museums are here. In addition, Manhattan is the scene of New York's busy night life. In 1605 the first Europeans came to Manhattan from Holland. They bought the island from the Native Americans for a few glass necklaces worth about $ 26 today.
3 Wall Street in Manhattan is the financial heart of the USA. It is also the most important banking center in the world. It is a street of “skyscrapers”. These are those incredible, high buildings, which Americans invented, and built faster and higher than anyone else. Perhaps the two most spectacular skyscrapers in New York are the two towers of the New York World Trade Center. When the sun sets, their 110 floors shine like pure gold.
4 Like every big city, New York has its own traffic system. Traffic jams can be terrible. It's usually quickest to go by subway. The New York subway is easy to use and quite cheap. The subway goes to almost every corner of Manhattan. But it is not safe to take the subway late in night because in some places you could get robbed. New York buses are also easy to use. You see more if you go by bus. There are more than 30,000 taxis in New York. They are easy to see, because they are bright yellow and carry large TAXI signs. Taxis do not go outside the city. However，they will go to the airports. In addition to the taxi fare, people give the taxi driver a tip of 15 percent of the fare's value.
5 Central Park is a beautiful green oasis in the middle of New York's concrete desert. It is surprisingly big, with lakes and woods, as well as organized recreation areas. New Yorkers love Central Park, and they use it all the time. In the winter, they go ice-skating, and in the summer roller-skating. They play ball, ride horses and have picnics. They go bicycling and boating. There is even a children's zoo, with wild birds and animals.
6 Along the east side of Central Park runs Fifth Avenue, once called “Millionaire's Row. ”In the 19th century, the richest men in America built their magnificent homes here. It is still the most fashionable street in the city, with famous department stores.
7 Broadway is the street where you will find New York's best known theaters. But away from the bright lights and elegant clothes of Broadway are many smaller theaters. Their plays an called “off-Broad-way” and are often more unusual than the Broadway shows. As well as many theaters, New York has a famous opera house. This is the Metropolitan, where international stars sing from September until April. Carnegie Hall is the city's most popular concert hall. But night life in New York offers more than classical music and theater. There are hundreds of nightclubs where people go to eat and dance.
23 Paragraph 3 ____________
24 Paragraph 4 ____________
25 Paragraph 5 ____________
26 Paragraph 6 ____________
| A The Financial Center of USA B The Night Life in New York C The Traffic Facilities of New York D Shopping Center for the Rich E New York—An International City F Central Park—A Place of Recreation for the New Yorkers |
28 Central Park is a good place where the New Yorkers can go and ____________
29 Fifth Avenue is the place ____________
30 For those play-lovers who are interested in what is unusual, the small theaters might be more attractive ____________
| A do whatever they like for relaxation B where you can play all kinds of ball games C than the world famous Broadway D enjoy the colorful night life of the city E where the wealthy people would go shopping F for what seems to be a very small sum today |
下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道題，每題后面有4個選項。請仔細閱讀短文并根據(jù)短文回答其后面的問題，從4個選項中選擇1個答案涂在答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上。
第一篇
Eiffel Is an Eyeful
Some 300 meters up, near the Eiffel Tower's wind-whipped summit the world comes to scribble. Japanese, Brazilians. Americans-they graffiti their names, loves and politics on the cold iron-transforming the most French of monuments into symbol of a world on the move.
With Pairs laid out in miniature below, it seems strange that visitors would rather waste time marking their presence than admiring the view. But the graffiti also raises a question: Why, nearly 114 years after it was completed, and decades after it ceased to be the world's tallest structure, is the Tour Eiffel still so popular?
The reasons are as complex as the iron work that graces a structure some 90 stories high. But part of the answer is, no doubt, its agelessness, regularly maintained, it should never rust away. Graffiti is regularly painted over, but the tower lives on.
“Eiffel represents Paris and Paris is France. It is very symbolic,” says Hugues Richard, a 31-year-old Frenchman who holds the record for cycling up to the tower's second floor-747 steps in 19 minutes and 4 seconds, without touching the floor with his feet. “It's iron lady, it inspires us,” he says.
But to what? After all, the tower doesn't have a purpose. It ceased to be the world's tallest in 1930 when the Chrysler Building went up in New York. Yes, television and radio signals are beamed from the top, and Gustave Eiffel, a frenetic builder who died on December 27, aged 91, used its height for conducting research into weather, aerodynamics and radio communication.
But in essence the tower inspires simply by being there－a blank canvas for visitors to make of it what they will. To the technically minded, it's an engineering triumph. For lovers, it's romantic.
“The tower will outlast all of us, and by a long way,” says Isabelle Esnous, whose company manages Eiffel Tower.
31 Why does the author think the Eiffel Tower is transformed into symbol of a world of the move? ____________
A Tourists from all over the world come to the Eiffel Tower by car or by plane.
B Tourists of all nationalities come to scribble on the cold iron of the tower.
C The Eiffel Tower is the tallest building in the world.
D The Eiffel Tower represents all the towers in the world.
32 What seems strange to the author? ____________
A Visitors prefer wasting time scribbling to enjoying the view.
B Visitors spends much time watching other people scribbling.
C Only Japanese, Brazilians and Americans like to mark their presence.
D Scribbling spread from country to country.
33 Which statements is NOT true of Hugues Richard? ____________
A He is a cyclist.
B He is a record holder.
C He climbed 747 steps up the tower in 19 minutes and 4 seconds.
D He cycled up to the tower's second floor.
34 What did the builder use the Eiffel Tower for? ____________
A Sending radio and television signals all over the world.
B Conducting research in various fields.
C Giving people inspiration.
D Demonstrating French culture.
35 Which of the following is nearest in meaning to “(The Eiffel Tower is like) a blank canvas for visitors to make of it what they will”?____________
A Visitors can do whatever they want on the tower.
B Visitors can paint on the tower whatever they want.
C Visitors can imagine freely what the tower represents.
D Visitors can draw on a blank canvas provided by the Tower management company.
第二篇
Investment and Consumption
Investment in the public sector, such as electricity, irrigation, public services and transport (excluding vehicles, ships and planes) increased by about 10%, although the emphasis moved to the transport and away from the other sectors mentioned. Trade and services recorded a 16 % ～17 % investment growth, including a 30 % increase in investment in business premises. Industrial investment is estimated to have risen by 8%. Although the share of agriculture in total gross investment in the economy continued to decline, investment grew by 9 % in absolute equipment. Housing construction had 12% more invested in it in 1964, not so much owing to increased demand, as to fears of new taxes and limitation of building.
Total consumption in real terms rose by close on 11% during 1964, and per capita personal consumption by under 7 %, as in 1963. The undesirable trend towards a rapid rise in consumption, evident in previous years, remained unaltered. Since at current prices consumption rose by 16 % and disposable income by 13 %, there was evidently a fall in the rate of saving in the private sector of the economy. Once again consumption patterns indicated a swift advance in the standard of living. Expenditure on food declined in significance, although consumption of fruit increased. Spending on furniture and household equipment, health, education and recreation continued to increase. The greatest proof of altered living standards was the rapid expansion of expenditure on transport (including private cars) and personal services of all kinds, which occurred during 1964. The progressive wealth of large sectors of the public was demonstrated by the changing composition of durable goods purchased. Saturation (飽和) point was rapidly being approached for items such as the first household radio, gas cookers, and electric refrigerators, whereas increasing purchases of automobiles and television sets were registered.
36 From this passage, we learn that people ____________.
A spent more money than they earned
B saved more money than previously
C invested and consumed at an accelerated pace
D spent their money wisely
37 The author thinks that the trend towards a rapid rise in consumption was “undesirable”because ____________.
A expenditure on luxuries increased
B people were wealthy
C people consumed less
D people saved less
38 Expenditure increased on all the following EXCEPT ____________.
A food
B automobiles
C education
D entertainment
39 It can be inferred from the increase of fruit consumption that ___________.
A people had to spend more on transportation and furniture
B the price of fruit dropped dramatically
C people were more money conscious
D people were more healthy conscious
40 The word "registered" in the last line most probably means ____________.
A marked
B approached
C listed
D booked
第三篇
The Effects of Global Warming on Weather
There are hidden factors which scientists call “feedback mechanisms”. No one knows quite how they will interact with the changing climate. Here's one example: plants and animals adapt to climate change over centuries. At the current estimate of half a degree centigrade of warming per decade, vegetation (植物) may not keep up. Climatologist James Hansen predicts climate zones will shift toward the poles by 50 to 75 kilometres a year—faster than trees can naturally migrate. Species that find themselves in an unfamiliar environment will die. The 1000-kilometer-wide strip of forest running through Canada, the USSR and Scandinavia could be cut by half. Millions of dying trees would soon lead to massive forest fires, releasing tons of CO2 and further boosting global warming.
There are dozens of other possible “feedback mechanism”. Higher temperatures will fuel condensation and increase cloudiness, which may actually damp down global warming. Others, like the “albedo” effect, will do the opposite. The “albedo” effect is the amount of solar energy reflected by the earth's surface. As northern ice and snow melts and the darker sea and land pokes (戳) through, more heat will be absorbed, adding to the global temperature increase.
Even if we were to magically stop all greenhouse-gas emissions tomorrow the impact on global climate would continue for decades. Delay will simply make the problem worse. The fact is that some of us are doing quite well the way things are. In developed world prosperity has been built on 150 years of cheap fossil fuels.
Material progress has been linked to energy consumption. Today 75 percent of all the world's energy is consumed by a quarter of the world's population. The average rich-world resident adds about 3.2 tons of CO2 yearly to the atmosphere, more than four times the level added by each Third World citizen. The US, with just seven per cent of the global population, is responsible for 22 per cent of global warming.
41 “Feedback mechanisms” in paragraph 1 most probably refer to ____________.
A how plants and animals adapt to hidden factors
B how plants and animals interact with the changing climate
C how climate changes
D how climate zones shift
42 We can learn from the passage that ____________.
A some feedback mechanisms may slow down global warming
B the basic facts of global warming are unknown
C developing countries benefit from cheap fossil fuels
D developed countries have decided to reduce their energy consumption
43 James Hansen predicts that the shift of climate zones will be accompanied by ____________.
A the cutting of many trees
B desirable environmental changes
C successful migration of species
D unsuccessful migration of trees
44 It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.
A the developing world has decided to increase its energy consumption
B a third-world citizen adds less than a ton of CO2 yearly to the atmosphere
C the world climate would soon gain its balance if we stopped greenhouse gas emissions
D future prosperity of the world is dependent on cheap fossil fuels
45 Which of the following is the main topic of the passage? ____________
A Impact of global warming on climate.
B Prosperity and cheap fossil fuels.
C Material progress and energy consumption.
D Plants and animals in the changing climate. 第五部分：補全短文(第46～50題，每題2分，共10分)

The Building of the Pyramids
The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids. 46 There are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the “Step” pyramid and the “Bent” pyramid.
Some of the pyramids still look much the same as they must have done when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, fore stone to use in modern buildings. 47 These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, hut perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last for ever.
48 However, there are no writings or pictures to show us how the Egyptians planned or built the pyramids themselves. 49 Nevertheless, by examining the actual pyramids and various tools which have been found, archaeologists have formed a fairly clear picture of them.
One thing is certain: there must have been months of careful planning before they could begin to build. 50 You may think this would have been easy with miles and miles of empty desert around, but a pyramid could not be built just anywhere. Certain rules had to be followed, and certain problems had to be overcome.
A The dry climate of Egypt has helped to preserve the pyramids, and their very shape have made them less likely to fall into ruin.
B It is practically certain that plans were made for the building of the pyramids because the plans of other large works have fortunately been preserved.
C The first thing they had to do was to choose a suitable place.
D Consequently, we are only able to guess at the methods used.
E Many people were killed while building the pyramids.
F They have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet.第六部分：完型填空(第51～65題，每題1分，共15分)

Singing Alarms Could Save the Blind
If you cannot see, you may not be able to find your way out of a burning building —and that could be fatal. A company in Leeds could change all that 51 directional sound alarms capable of guiding you to the exit.
Sound Alert, a company 52 the University of Leeds, is installing the alarms in a residential home for 53 people in Sommerset and a resource centre for the blind in Cumbria. 54 produce a wide range of frequencies that enable the brain to determine where the 55 is coming from.
Deborah Withington of Sound Alert says that the alarms use most of the frequencies that can be 56 by humans. “It is a burst of white noise 57 people say sounds like static on the radio,” she says.“Its life-saving potential is great. ”She conducted an experiment in which people were filmed by thermal-imaging cameras trying to find their way out of a large 58 room. It 59 them nearly four minutes to find the door 60 a sound alarm, but only 15 seconds with one.
Withington studies how the brain 61 sounds at the university. She says that the 62 of a wide band of frequencies can be pinpointed more easily than the source of a narrow band. Alarms 63 the same concept have already been installed on emergency vehicles.
The alarms will also include rising or falling frequencies to indicate whether people should go up 64 down stairs. They were 65 with the aid of a large grant from British Nuclear Fuels.

24 C這一段介紹了紐約的交通設(shè)施，如地鐵、公共汽車和出租車，以及使用時應(yīng)注意的地方。
25 F第五段集中介紹了中央公園。
26 D這一段不長，簡單地介紹了紐約的第五大街，這是富人的購物天堂。
27 F原句在語法上已經(jīng)完整，填入的部分是有關(guān)價格的，當時荷蘭人買下曼哈頓的價錢在今天看來僅是個微不足道的小數(shù)。表示價格用介詞for，這里for的后面跟的是what引導(dǎo)的名詞性從句。
28 A這里填入的是和動詞go并列的成分，在所給的六個選項中符合條件的只有A和D，但從意義上看應(yīng)該填入的是A。

30 C句中的more attractive提示了后面很可能有用than引導(dǎo)的從句。
第四部分：
31 B第一段提供了答案。
32 A第二段第一句中的句型would rather do something than do something else，也可以用prefer doing something to doing something else的句型來表達。所以，A是正確答案。
33 C第四段告訴我們，Hugues Richard蹬車上塔，打破世界紀錄。C不是正確選項，因為他cycling up to the tower’s second floor，而不是climbing up the tower。
34 B選項A不是正確選項，因為Gustave Eiffel沒有也不可能使用該塔向全世界發(fā)射電視信號。第五段的最后一句提供了答案。
35 C第六段的大意是：對不同的人，埃菲爾鐵塔有不同的象征意義。
36 C從本篇文章可以得知：A人們支出大于收入；B人們比以前更節(jié)約用錢了；C人們的投資和消費在加速增長；D人們花錢更精明了。

45 A本篇文章的主題是：A全球變暖給氣候帶來的影響；B繁榮與廉價的礦物能源；C物質(zhì)進步與能源消耗；D氣候變化過程中的動植物。
第五部分：
46 F第一句話說金字塔是世界上最古老的石頭建筑，F(xiàn)說：“它們已經(jīng)屹立了將近五千年并且似乎會繼續(xù)存在數(shù)千年”，以實際數(shù)字說明了第一句，因此應(yīng)選F。
47 A A說：“埃及干燥的氣候有助于保持金字塔，金字塔自身的形狀也使之不容易毀壞。”后一句的主語these就是指這兩個原因。
48 B B說：“幾乎可以確定的是(埃及人)為建造金字塔制定了施工方案，因為有些其他大型建筑的工程圖已被幸運地保存下來”，后一句說：“然而沒有文字記錄或圖片告訴我們埃及人如何設(shè)計或建造金字塔。”這兩句在意思上形成轉(zhuǎn)折。
49 D根據(jù)本段前面兩句的意思，這里應(yīng)選D：“因此，我們只能猜測他們使用的方法。”consequently是表達因果關(guān)系的連接性詞語，有很強的銜接力。
50 C本段首句說有一件事是確定無疑的，即他們(指埃及人)開工前一定花了數(shù)月時間仔細設(shè)計建造方案，C說：“他們要做的第一件事就是選址”，和第一句意思連貫，而且下文中的this只能指選址這件事。
第六部分：
文章大意：聲音警報是一家由利茲大學設(shè)立的公司。該公司現(xiàn)在正在為位于薩莫塞特的一家盲人收容所和位于卡姆布雷亞的一家盲人資源中心安裝此種裝置。這種警報器發(fā)出的頻率范圍廣，使人腦可以判斷出聲音的來源。這種警報器也是容納了聲頻的升降，以指示人們上下樓。這種設(shè)備是得到英國核燃料組織的大筆資助才開發(fā)成功的。
51 B空格后是一種裝置，用它來改變火災(zāi)時找不到出口的危險境況。表達“用……裝置”這層意思就要用介詞with。其他幾項均不符合句子的意思。
52 A Sound Alert是一家公司的名字，a company是Sound Alert的同位語，從句義判斷，應(yīng)選擇run by，意思“由……經(jīng)營的”。其他的選項雖然語法正確，但都與句義不符。
53 C從文章的標題，以及文章內(nèi)容和本句后面部分resource center for the blind，可以推斷這里的選擇就是C。
54 D因為這種警告裝置已在上文中提到：第一段中的directional sound alarms，第二段中的installing the alarms in a residential home…，所以，這里的alarms是特指，要用定冠詞。選項C是錯誤的，因為它是單數(shù)形式。
55 B句子的前半句有a wide range of frequencies，發(fā)出來的應(yīng)該是sound，而不是令人煩躁的noise。用music或bell都有些突然，與上下文的意思不連貫。
56 D文章一直在討論警報器、聲音和波長，所以首先排除選項A；從上下文的意思看，不可能是選項B和C，因為警報器的制造，就是為了讓失明的人聽到。
57 C選擇A、B、D均不能構(gòu)成語義連貫的句子，而且語法上也有問題。選項C能使句子結(jié)構(gòu)成為“It is…that”的強調(diào)句型。
58 B從所給的選項可以看出，這里要表達的意思是“煙火彌漫的房間”。有了這個理解，現(xiàn)在要做的就是選擇正確的表達形式。A是“煙熏的”，D是“使……煙火彌漫的”，所以意思不對，C填入后就出現(xiàn)filled with smoke room，不符合語法。只有B是正確的選項。
59 C這里顯然是“It takes somebody＋time＋動詞不定式”的句型，但選擇什么時態(tài)是關(guān)鍵。從上句看，應(yīng)選擇一般過去時，因為整個段落是對一次試驗的描寫，而且上面一句也使用了一般過去時。
60 C后半句的one指上半句中的a sound alarm。該句上半句和下半由but連接，表示相反的意思，從后半句的with可以看出，兩個相對比的事物是：the door without a sound alarm和the door with a sound alarm。所以選擇C。
61 A選項B、C和D顯然是錯誤的，因為詞義不符。只有選擇A是答案。句子的意思是，Withington在她的大學里研究大腦如何處理聲音。
62 D句子中的more…than表示該句是對兩樣事物的對比。than后面是the source of a narrow band，這里的narrow和前半句的wide形成反比，從上下文中可以看出，the soure司of a narrow band of(frequencies)是和the source of a wide band of frequencies形成對比。
63 D這個句子有主語alarms，有謂語have been installed，這里應(yīng)填入動詞的分詞形式。Be based on是常用的搭配，所以，應(yīng)選擇動詞的過去分詞形式。選項A的basis是名詞，明顯是錯的。
64 A根據(jù)上半句中的rising or falling frequencies，這里應(yīng)填入or，與上半句表達的意思相一致。音頻升高表示上樓，音頻降低表示下樓。
65 A首先確定主語They指的是第一句中的主語The alarms，后半句說這種設(shè)備得到大筆資助。根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容，我們知道資助的目的是開發(fā)這種alarms，所以應(yīng)該選擇developed。
