Creating a World without Smoking
Smoking will be banned in all pubs, clubs and workplaces from next year after historic votes in the Commons last night. After last-minute appeals from health campaigners, MPs opted for a blanket prohibition which will start in summer 2007, ending months of argument over whether smokers should be barred in pubs and restaurants only. They voted to ban smoking in all pubs and clubs by 384 to 184, a surprisingly large majority of 200. Smoking will still be allowed in the home and in places considered to be homes, such as prisons, care homes and hotels. Smokers lighting up in banned areas will face a fixed penalty notice of £50 and spot frees of £ 200 will be introduced for failing to display no-smoking signs, with the possible penalty, if the issue goes to court, increasing to £1000. Carpline Flint, the Public Health Minister, also announced that the fine for failing to stop people smoking in banned areas would be increased to £ 2500 - more than ten times the £ 200 originally proposed. The Bill also allows the Government to increase the age for buying cigarettes. Ministers will consult on raising it from 16 to 18. The Bill now goes to the Lords but will be through by the summer recess. Even a plan to allow smoking to continue in private clubs was thrown out as MPs on all sides were given permission to vote with their conscience rather than on a party line. Patricia Hewitt, the Health Secretary, said the Health Bill would ban smoking in "virtually every enclosed public place and workplace" in England and save thousands of lives a year. Smoke-free workplaces and public places "will become the norm". She said, "An additional 600000 people will give up smoking as a result of this law and millions more will be protected from second-hand smoke." Peter Hollins, director-general of the British Heart Foundation, said, "The vote is a landmark victory for the public health of this country and will save the lives of many people." A ban on smoking in all pubs, clubs and workplaces will begin in summer 2007. A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned
17、 The law doesn't seem to apply to officials. A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned
18、 One can nevertheless smoke at home. A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned
19、 There is a possibility for the Government to raise the age for buying cigarettes. A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned
20、 The Government will shut down cigarette factories in large numbers. A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned
21、 The Government will definitely impose a much heavier tax on tobacco. A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned

Play
Play is the principal business of childhood, and in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy, every child needs opportunity and the right materials for play, and the main tools of play are toys. Their main function is to suggest, encourage and assist play. To succeed in this they must be good toys, which children will play with often, and will come back to again and again. Therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child's development. In recent years research on infant development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby's ability to profit from the right play materials should not be underestimated.A baby who is encouraged and stimulated, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully. In the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toy should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability. Bricks and jigsaws (七巧板) and construction toys; painting, scribbling (涂鴉) and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play; the first social games for learning to play and get on with others. But the third stage of play development — from five to seven or eight years -- the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It is easier to see which type of toys the chills most enjoys. Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child.But once reading has been mastered, then books and school become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and valuable, they lead on to new hobbies, but their significance has changed --to a child of nice or ten years, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun.
The passage tells us that as a child grows up, _______. A.he should be allowed to choose his own toys B.he should be given identical toys C.he should be given different toys D.he should be given fewer and fewer toys
32、 According to the passage, the abilities a child has inherited from his parents_______. A.determine his character B.will not change after the age of three C.partly determine the standard he is likely to reach D.to a large extent determine the choice of toys
33、 Who have the best chance of growing up successfully? A.Those who tend to overeat. B.Those who are given a lot of toys. C.Those who are given toys, talked to and played with. D.Those who can share their toys with their playmates.
34、 We learn from the passage that a child has boundless curiosity_______. A.when he is two B.when he is around four C.when he is six D.when he is eight
35、 The passage is mainly about_______. A.the importance of pre-school education B.the importance of schooling C.the role of play in a child's development D.the choice of toys for adolescents

New US Plan for Disease Prevention
Urging Americans to take responsibility for their health, Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson on Tuesday launched a $15 million program to try to encourage communities to do more to prevent chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer and diabetes (糖尿病)。 The initiative highlights the costs of chronic diseases -- the leading causes of death in the United States -- and outlines ways that people can prevent them, including better diet and increased exercise. "In the United States today, 7 of 10 deaths and the vast majority of serious illness, disability and health care costs are caused by chronic diseases," the Health and Human Services department said in a statement. The causes are often behavioral -- smoking, poor eating habits and a lack of exercise. "I am convinced that preventing disease by promoting better health is a smart policy choice for our future." Thompson told a conference held to launch the initiative. "Our current health care system is not structured to deal with the rising costs of treating diseases that are largely preventable through changes in our lifestyle choices. " Thompson said heart disease and strokes will cost the country more than $ 351 billion in 2003. "These leading causes of death for men and women are largely preventable, yet we as a nation are not taking the steps necessary for US to lead healthier, longer lives," he said. The $15 million is designed to go to communities to promote prevention, pushing for changes as simple as building sidewalks to encourage people to walk more. Daily exercise such as walking can prevent and even reverse heart disease and diabetes, and prevent cancer and strokes. The money will also go to community organizations, clinics and nutritionists who are being encouraged to work together to educate people at risk of diabetes about what they card do to prevent it and encourage more cancer screening. The American Cancer Society estimates that half of all cancers can be caught by screening, including Pap tests (巴氏試驗(yàn)) for cervical (子宮頸的) cancer mammograms (*X線照 片) for breast cancer, colonoscopies (結(jié)腸鏡檢查), and prostate (前列腺的) checks. If such cancers were all caught by early screening, the group estimates that the survival rate for cancer would rise to 95 percent.
Which of the following is NOT true of chronic diseases in the US? A.They account for 70%of all deaths. B.They are responsible for most of the health care costs. C.They often result in unhealthy lifestyles. D.They are largely preventable.
37、 The author mentions all the following ways of disease prevention EXCEPT_______. A.better diet B.increased exercise C.less smoking D.more frequent hand washing
38、 The passage indicates that spending more money on disease prevention will mean_______. A.greater responsibility of the government B.less need for input into treatment C.higher costs of health care D.more lifestyle choices for people
39、 The purpose of the $15 million program is to_______. A.promote disease prevention B.build more highways C.help poor communities D.wipe out chronic diseases
40、 Early cancer screening can help reduce significantly_______. A.the death rates for all chronic diseases B.the kinds of cancer attacking people C.the incidence rate for cancer D.the death rate for cancer

Technology Transfer in Germany
When it comes to translating basic research into industrial Success, few nations can match Germany. Since the 1940s, the nation's vast industrial base has been fed with a constant stream of new ideas and expertise from science.And though German prosperity (繁榮) has faltered (衰退) over the past decade because of the huge cost of unifying east and west as well as the global economic decline, it still has an enviable record for turning ideas into profit. Much of the reason for that success is the Fraunhofer Society, a network of research institutes that exists solely to solve industrial problems and create sought -- after technologies. But today the Fraunhofer institutes have competition. Universities are taking an ever larger role in technology transfer, and technology parks are springing up all over. These efforts are being complemented by the federal programmes for pumping money into start-up companies. Such a strategy may sound like a recipe for economic success, but it is not without its critics. These people worry that favoring applied research will mean neglecting basic science, eventually starving industry of fresh ideas. If every scientist starts thinking like an entrepreneur (企業(yè)家), the argument goes, then the traditional principles of university research being curiosity-driven, free and widely available will suffer. Others claim that many of the programmers to promote technology transfer are a waste of money because half the small businesses that are promoted are bound to go bankrupt within a few years. While this debate continues, new ideas flow at a steady rate from Germany's research networks, which bear famous names such as Helmholtz, Max Planck and Leibniz. Yet it is the fourth network, the Fraunhofer Society, that plays the greatest role in technology transfer. Founded in 1949, the Fraunhofer Society is now Europe's largest organization for applied technology, and has 59 institutes employing 12000 people.It continues to grow. Last year, it swallowed up the Heinrich Hertz Institute for Communication Technology in Berlin. Today, there are even Fraunhofers in the US and Asia.
What factor can be attributed to German prosperity? A.Technology transfer. B.Good management. C.Hard work. D.Fierce competition.
42、 Which of the following is NOT true of traditional university research? A.It is free. B.It is profit-driven. C.It is widely available D.It is curiosity-driven.
43、 The Fraunhofer Society is the largest organisation for applied technology in_______. A.Asia B.USA C.Europe D.Africa
44、 When was the Fraunhofer Society founded? A.In 1940. B.Last year. C.After the unification. D.In 1949.
45、 The word "expertise" in line 3 could be best replaced by_______. A."experts" B."scientists" C."scholars" D."special knowledge" 第5部分:補(bǔ)全短文(第46~50題,每題2分,共10分) 下面的短文有5處空白,短文后有6個(gè)句子,其中5個(gè)取自短文,請(qǐng)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容將其分別放回原有位置,以恢復(fù)文章面貌。 46、 根據(jù)下列材料,回答46-50題
Every Dog Has Its Say
Kimiko Fukuda, a Japanese girl, always wondered what her dog was trying to say. Whenever she put on makeup, it would pull at her sleeve. (46) When the dog barks, she glances at a small electronic gadget (裝置). The following "human" translation appears on its screen: "Please take me with you. " "I realized that's how he was feeling. " said Fukuda. The .gadget is called Bowlingual, and it translates dog barks into feelings. People laughed when the Japanese toymaker Takara Company made the world's first dog-human translation machine in 2002. But 300000 Japanese dog owners bought it. (47) "Nobody else had thought about it," said Masahiko Kajita, who works for Takara , "We spend so much time training dogs to understand our orders; what would it be like if we could understand dogs?" Bowlingual has two parts. (48) The translation is done in the gadget using a database (資料庫(kù)) containing every kind of bark. Based on animal behavior research, these noises are divided into six categories: happiness, sadness, frustration, anger, declaration and desire. (49) In this way, the database scientifically matches a bark to an emotion, which is then translated into one of 200 phrases. When a visitor went to Fukuda's house recently, the dog barked a loud "bowwow". This translated as "Don't come this way. " (50) The product will be available in US pet stores this summer for about US $120 It can store up to 100 barks, even recording the dog's emotions when the owner is away.
______________ A.A wireless microphone is attached to the dog's collar, which sends information to the gadget held by the owner. B.Nobody really knows how a dog feels. C.It was followed by "I'm stronger than you" as the dog growled (嗥叫) and sniffed (嗅) at the visitor. D.More customers are expected when the English version is launched this summer. E.Now, the Japanese girl thinks she knows. F.Each one of these emotions is then linked to a phrase like "Let's play", "Look at me", or "Spend more time with me".

Play
Play is the principal business of childhood, and in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy, every child needs opportunity and the right materials for play, and the main tools of play are toys. Their main function is to suggest, encourage and assist play. To succeed in this they must be good toys, which children will play with often, and will come back to again and again. Therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child's development. In recent years research on infant development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby's ability to profit from the right play materials should not be underestimated.A baby who is encouraged and stimulated, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully. In the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toy should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability. Bricks and jigsaws (七巧板) and construction toys; painting, scribbling (涂鴉) and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play; the first social games for learning to play and get on with others. But the third stage of play development — from five to seven or eight years -- the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It is easier to see which type of toys the chills most enjoys. Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child.But once reading has been mastered, then books and school become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and valuable, they lead on to new hobbies, but their significance has changed --to a child of nice or ten years, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun.
The passage tells us that as a child grows up, _______. A.he should be allowed to choose his own toys B.he should be given identical toys C.he should be given different toys D.he should be given fewer and fewer toys
32、 According to the passage, the abilities a child has inherited from his parents_______. A.determine his character B.will not change after the age of three C.partly determine the standard he is likely to reach D.to a large extent determine the choice of toys
33、 Who have the best chance of growing up successfully? A.Those who tend to overeat. B.Those who are given a lot of toys. C.Those who are given toys, talked to and played with. D.Those who can share their toys with their playmates.
34、 We learn from the passage that a child has boundless curiosity_______. A.when he is two B.when he is around four C.when he is six D.when he is eight
35、 The passage is mainly about_______. A.the importance of pre-school education B.the importance of schooling C.the role of play in a child's development D.the choice of toys for adolescents

New US Plan for Disease Prevention
Urging Americans to take responsibility for their health, Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson on Tuesday launched a $15 million program to try to encourage communities to do more to prevent chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer and diabetes (糖尿病)。 The initiative highlights the costs of chronic diseases -- the leading causes of death in the United States -- and outlines ways that people can prevent them, including better diet and increased exercise. "In the United States today, 7 of 10 deaths and the vast majority of serious illness, disability and health care costs are caused by chronic diseases," the Health and Human Services department said in a statement. The causes are often behavioral -- smoking, poor eating habits and a lack of exercise. "I am convinced that preventing disease by promoting better health is a smart policy choice for our future." Thompson told a conference held to launch the initiative. "Our current health care system is not structured to deal with the rising costs of treating diseases that are largely preventable through changes in our lifestyle choices. " Thompson said heart disease and strokes will cost the country more than $ 351 billion in 2003. "These leading causes of death for men and women are largely preventable, yet we as a nation are not taking the steps necessary for US to lead healthier, longer lives," he said. The $15 million is designed to go to communities to promote prevention, pushing for changes as simple as building sidewalks to encourage people to walk more. Daily exercise such as walking can prevent and even reverse heart disease and diabetes, and prevent cancer and strokes. The money will also go to community organizations, clinics and nutritionists who are being encouraged to work together to educate people at risk of diabetes about what they card do to prevent it and encourage more cancer screening. The American Cancer Society estimates that half of all cancers can be caught by screening, including Pap tests (巴氏試驗(yàn)) for cervical (子宮頸的) cancer mammograms (*X線照 片) for breast cancer, colonoscopies (結(jié)腸鏡檢查), and prostate (前列腺的) checks. If such cancers were all caught by early screening, the group estimates that the survival rate for cancer would rise to 95 percent.
Which of the following is NOT true of chronic diseases in the US? A.They account for 70%of all deaths. B.They are responsible for most of the health care costs. C.They often result in unhealthy lifestyles. D.They are largely preventable.
37、 The author mentions all the following ways of disease prevention EXCEPT_______. A.better diet B.increased exercise C.less smoking D.more frequent hand washing
38、 The passage indicates that spending more money on disease prevention will mean_______. A.greater responsibility of the government B.less need for input into treatment C.higher costs of health care D.more lifestyle choices for people
39、 The purpose of the $15 million program is to_______. A.promote disease prevention B.build more highways C.help poor communities D.wipe out chronic diseases
40、 Early cancer screening can help reduce significantly_______. A.the death rates for all chronic diseases B.the kinds of cancer attacking people C.the incidence rate for cancer D.the death rate for cancer

Technology Transfer in Germany
When it comes to translating basic research into industrial Success, few nations can match Germany. Since the 1940s, the nation's vast industrial base has been fed with a constant stream of new ideas and expertise from science.And though German prosperity (繁榮) has faltered (衰退) over the past decade because of the huge cost of unifying east and west as well as the global economic decline, it still has an enviable record for turning ideas into profit. Much of the reason for that success is the Fraunhofer Society, a network of research institutes that exists solely to solve industrial problems and create sought -- after technologies. But today the Fraunhofer institutes have competition. Universities are taking an ever larger role in technology transfer, and technology parks are springing up all over. These efforts are being complemented by the federal programmes for pumping money into start-up companies. Such a strategy may sound like a recipe for economic success, but it is not without its critics. These people worry that favoring applied research will mean neglecting basic science, eventually starving industry of fresh ideas. If every scientist starts thinking like an entrepreneur (企業(yè)家), the argument goes, then the traditional principles of university research being curiosity-driven, free and widely available will suffer. Others claim that many of the programmers to promote technology transfer are a waste of money because half the small businesses that are promoted are bound to go bankrupt within a few years. While this debate continues, new ideas flow at a steady rate from Germany's research networks, which bear famous names such as Helmholtz, Max Planck and Leibniz. Yet it is the fourth network, the Fraunhofer Society, that plays the greatest role in technology transfer. Founded in 1949, the Fraunhofer Society is now Europe's largest organization for applied technology, and has 59 institutes employing 12000 people.It continues to grow. Last year, it swallowed up the Heinrich Hertz Institute for Communication Technology in Berlin. Today, there are even Fraunhofers in the US and Asia.
What factor can be attributed to German prosperity? A.Technology transfer. B.Good management. C.Hard work. D.Fierce competition.
42、 Which of the following is NOT true of traditional university research? A.It is free. B.It is profit-driven. C.It is widely available D.It is curiosity-driven.
43、 The Fraunhofer Society is the largest organisation for applied technology in_______. A.Asia B.USA C.Europe D.Africa
44、 When was the Fraunhofer Society founded? A.In 1940. B.Last year. C.After the unification. D.In 1949.
45、 The word "expertise" in line 3 could be best replaced by_______. A."experts" B."scientists" C."scholars" D."special knowledge" 第5部分:補(bǔ)全短文(第46~50題,每題2分,共10分) 下面的短文有5處空白,短文后有6個(gè)句子,其中5個(gè)取自短文,請(qǐng)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容將其分別放回原有位置,以恢復(fù)文章面貌。 46、 根據(jù)下列材料,回答46-50題
Every Dog Has Its Say
Kimiko Fukuda, a Japanese girl, always wondered what her dog was trying to say. Whenever she put on makeup, it would pull at her sleeve. (46) When the dog barks, she glances at a small electronic gadget (裝置). The following "human" translation appears on its screen: "Please take me with you. " "I realized that's how he was feeling. " said Fukuda. The .gadget is called Bowlingual, and it translates dog barks into feelings. People laughed when the Japanese toymaker Takara Company made the world's first dog-human translation machine in 2002. But 300000 Japanese dog owners bought it. (47) "Nobody else had thought about it," said Masahiko Kajita, who works for Takara , "We spend so much time training dogs to understand our orders; what would it be like if we could understand dogs?" Bowlingual has two parts. (48) The translation is done in the gadget using a database (資料庫(kù)) containing every kind of bark. Based on animal behavior research, these noises are divided into six categories: happiness, sadness, frustration, anger, declaration and desire. (49) In this way, the database scientifically matches a bark to an emotion, which is then translated into one of 200 phrases. When a visitor went to Fukuda's house recently, the dog barked a loud "bowwow". This translated as "Don't come this way. " (50) The product will be available in US pet stores this summer for about US $120 It can store up to 100 barks, even recording the dog's emotions when the owner is away.

Many people have the impression that as production increases, costs per unit decrease. (57) mass production has made this true in certain industries and at certain levels of production, (58) logic and practical experiences have shown that costs per unit begin to rise beyond a certain level of production. Some economists (59) to this principle as the law of increasing costs. The reason costs rise as production goes up is (60) However, it is easy to recognize that as production goes up, the need for additional factors of production will also grow, (61) competitive bidding in the marketplace for the factors of production. If a producer needs (62) skilled labor to produce more, and none of this labor is unemployed, the producer will have to get (63) from other sources. This can be done by (64) higher wages.
