Science has told us too much about the moon that it is fairly easy to imagine what it would be like to get there. It is certainly not a friendly place. Since there is no air or water, there can be no life of any kind. There is not much variety of scenery either. For mile after mile there are only flat plains of dust with mountains around them. Above, the sun and stars shine in the black sky. If you step out of the mountain shadow, it means moving from the severe cold into intense (強(qiáng)烈的) heat. These extreme temperatures continually break rocks away from the surface of the mountains. The moon is also a very silent world, for sound waves can only travel through air. But beyond the broken horizon, you see a friendly sight. Our earth is shining more brightly than the stars. From this distance, it looks like an immense (巨大的) blue, green and brown ball.
小題1:The moon is an unfriendly place because                   .
A．there is no air, no water, no life, no sceneryB．the sun and stars shine in the sky
C．temperature breaks rock awayD．a(chǎn)ll of the above
小題2:Without           , the moon is a silent world.
A．manB．a(chǎn)irC．soundD．water
小題3:According to the passage we know that             .
A．the earth looks like a colored ball
B．we can enjoy the scenery on the moon
C．every inch of the moon is very hot
D．the extreme temperature breaks rocks away from the surface of mountains
小題4:We can conclude（斷定） that “continually” means          .
A．sometimesB．a(chǎn)lwaysC．without breakD．frequently
小題5:The best title for the passage is                        .
A．An Unfriendly and Friendly PlaceB．The Geography of the Moon
C．Moon, a Silent WorldD．The Moon

Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in her life, she might go home and write in her diary. Now, a teenager with   36  problems might go onto the Internet and write about his problems in a blog. In many ways a diary and a blog are very   37  . So, what makes blogging different from writing in   38  diary?
The biggest difference is that blogging is much more   39  than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of   40  that she does not want to   41 .
It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog   42  a diary will probably write nearly the same information.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her   43  . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.   44  I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but   45  in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was   46  that my sister might read it!
The biggest   47  with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something   48 about her in my diary, she would never know!   49 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend   50  read her blog and get a “cry”.
There are also   51  to blogging, of course. If I felt sad one day and wrote in my diary: “Nobody cares about me.”  52  would know about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would   53  respond and tell her how much they   54  her. Blogs help people   55  in touch with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.

A report by the Consumer Electronics Association says electronics are among the most popular gifts being bought this holiday season. 
Jim Barry is a spokesman for the Consumer Electronics Association. He says the CEA study found that electronics represent three of the top five things on its "holiday gift wish list" this year.
JIM BARRY: "Notebook computers are at the top, followed by iPads and then e-readers. IPad is a touch-screen tablet computer and that's really the big player in that category."
The computer company Apple began selling its small, touch-screen computers in April.   People use the touch-screen computers to surf the Web, write e-mails, watch movies and read books. Since the iPad's release earlier this year, several other companies have come out with their own tablet computers just in time for Christmas.
A report from the e-Marketer research group predicts that worldwide, tablet sales will reach more than eighty-one million in two thousand twelve. Still, Jim Barry says these devices are facing tough competition this year from another Christmas favorite.
JIM BARRY: "Another hot category right behind that are the e-readers. So you can read on an iPad or a touch-screen tablet, but the e-book readers are less expensive. The Kindle is the market leader there, from Amazon. But you also have the Nook from Barnes and Noble and the e-reader from Sony. And you have more and more of those e-readers coming into the market as well."
The Consumer Electronics Association report found that iPod music players are also in high demand this holiday season.  
But not all of the things on the holiday gift wish list involved electronics. Clothes, cars and motorcycles also made the list. So did family togetherness and good health. And the one thing that people wanted most?
JIM BARRY: "At the top of the list was peace and happiness."
That is also our wish for you this holiday season.
小題1:The best title of the passage is         .  
A．How to choose a suitable gift for Christmas
B．iPads, E-Readers, Notebook Computers top wish lists
C．What we should buy for our kids this holiday season
D．How modern technology is changing the way people relate
小題2:People use the touch-screen computers to do all the following things except         .  
A．surf the Web and write e-mails
B．watch movies and read books
C．surf the Web and contact others on phone
D．surf the internet and use it as an e-reader
小題3:Which of the following sentences is TURE?  
A．iPads are the most popular gift among all the electronics.
B．Only the computer company Apple releases a touch-screen tablet computer.
C．All of the things on the holiday gift wish list are electronics.
D．There are more and more kinds of e-readers in the market.
小題4:You don't have enough money for an iPad, but you can buy          for a friend who enjoys reading.  
A．notebook computersB．iPod music players
C．touch-screen tablet computerD．e-book readers
小題5:We can infer from the last paragraph that         .  
A．people value peace and happiness more than anything else
B．clothes, cars and motorcycles are also popular gifts for Christmas
C．family togetherness and good health don't make the list
D．JIM BARRY also sends their wish for us this holiday season

Just as the world’s most respected scientific bodies have confirmed that the world is getting hotter, they have also stated that there is strong evidence that humans are driving the warming． Countless recent reports from the world’s leading scientific bodies have said the same thing． For example, a 2010 summary of climate science by the Royal Society stated that: “There is strong evidence that the warming of the Earth over the last half-century has been caused largely by human activity．”
The idea that humans could change the planet’s climate may be counter-intuitive（與直覺不符的）, but the basic science is well understood． Each year, human activity causes billions of tons of greenhouse gases to be released（釋放）into the atmosphere． As scientists have known for years, these gases hold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible blanket．
Of course, the planet’s climate has always been changing thanks to “natural” factors（因素） such as changes in solar or volcanic（火山的）activity, or cycles relating the Earth’s going around the sun． According to the scientific literature, however, the warming recorded to date matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build-up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere – not the warming we would expect from other possible causes．
Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming observed so far, that would beg a difficult question． As Robert Henson puts it in The Rough Guide to Climate Change: “If some newly discovered factor can account for the climate change, then why aren’t carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）and the other greenhouse gases producing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be?”
The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths – one with human influence and one without． That obviously isn’t possible, and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty．
小題1:In most scientists’ opinion, the global warming is mainly caused by      ．
A．solar activityB．volcanic activity
C．the Earth’s going around the sunD．human activity
小題2:The text is developed by      ．
A．giving typical examplesB．following the order of space
C．a(chǎn)nalysing a theory and arguing itD．comparing and finding differences
小題3:The underline word “identical” means      ．
A．totally differentB．exactly the same
C．extremely importantD．relatively independent

It’s hard to track the blue whale, which has almost been killed off by commercial whaling. Attaching radio devices to it is difficult and visual sightings are too unreliable to give real insight into its behavior.
So biologists were delighted early this year when, with the help of the US Navy, they are able to track a particular blue whale for 43 days recording its sounds. This was possible because of the Navy’s former top secret system of underwater listening devices across the oceans.
Tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world just opening to civilian scientists after the cold war as the Navy starts to share and partly uncover its global network of underwater listening system built over the decades to track the ships of potential enemies.
Earth scientists announced at a news conference recently that they had used the system for closely observing a deep-sea volcanic eruption for the first time and that they planned similar studies. Other scientists have proposed to use the network for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes in the ocean and global temperatures. Different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds focusing them in the same way a stethoscope(聽診器) does when it carries faint noises from a patient’s chest to a doctor’s ear. This focusing is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in the ocean, especially low-frequency ones, can often travel thousands of miles.
小題1:The underwater listening system was originally designed _________________.
A．to trace and locate enemy ships
B．to observe deep sea volcanic eruptions
C．to study the movement of ocean currents
D．to replace the global radio communications network
小題2:The deep-sea listening system makes use of __________________.
A．the ability of sound to travel at high speed
B．the top-level technology of focusing sounds under water
C．the unique characteristic of layers of ocean water in carrying sound
D．low-frequency sounds traveling across different layers of water
小題3:What can we infer from the passage?
A．New radio devices are developed for tracking the blue whales.
B．Blue whales are no longer endangered with the new system.
C．Opinions differ on the use of military technology.
D．Military technology has great potential in civilian use.
小題4:What is the passage chiefly about?
A．An effort to protect an endangered marine species.
B．The civilian use of a military detection system.
C．The exposure of a US Navy top-secret weapon.
D．A new way to look into the behavior of blue whales.

Psychologists tell us that there are four basic stages that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new culture．This process begins with the “honeymoon stage”．This is the period of time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture is strange and exciting．We may be suffering from “jet lag” but we are thrilled to be in the new environment, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds and language, eating new kinds of food．This stage can last for quite a long time because we feel we are involved in some kind of great adventure．
Unfortunately, the second stage can be more difficult．After we have settled down into our new life, we can become very tired and begin to miss our homeland and our family, friends, pets．All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture．This period of cultural adjustment can be very difficult and lead to rejecting or pulling away from the new culture．
The third stage is called the “adjustment stage”．This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture．Your sense of humour usually becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place．Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor!
The fourth stage can be called “at ease at last”．Now you feel quite comfortable in your new surroundings．You can cope（deal） with most problems that occur．You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them．
小題1:This passage mainly talks about ________．
A．culture and foreign language learningB．a(chǎn)dventures in a foreign land
C．getting used to a new cultureD．the interaction of different cultures
小題2:Which of the following best describes the first stage?
A．Lonely and depressedB．Bored and homesick
C．Happy and excitedD．Angry and frustrated

A．people feel better in their own culture
B．it is not easy to adapt to a new culture
C．culture shock doesn’t occur at the beginning
D．it is human nature to long for adventures

At one time, computers were expected largely to remove the need for paper copies of documents (文件) because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper.
It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet-connected computers, although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced, the printers start working overtime. "I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees to be cut down," says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organization.
Perhaps the best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-tech industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. Several Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. Earlier this week Hewlett-Packard Co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard copy of a business document, a medical record or just a one-line e-mail, even if they are nowhere near a computer. As the company sees it, the more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers.
Does all this mean environmental concerns (環(huán)境問題) have been forgotten? Some activists suggest people have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away. " I guess people believe that the problem is taken care of, because of recycling (回收利用) " said Kelly Quirke, director of the Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful that high-tech may also prove helpful. He says printers that print on both sides are growing in popularity. The action group has also found acceptable paper made from materials other than wood, such as agricultural waste.
小題1: The growing demand for paper in recent years is largely due to ________.
A．the rapid development of small businesses
B．the opening up of new markets
C．the printing of high quality copies
D．the increased use of the Internet
小題2:Environmentalists believe one possible way of dealing with the paper situation is ________.
A．to encourage printing more quality documents
B．to develop new printers using recycled paper
C．to find new materials for making paper
D．to plant more fast-growing trees
小題3:Hewlett-Packard Co. has decided to develop new technologies because _______.
A．people are concerned about the environment
B．printers in many offices are working overtime
C．small companies need more hard copies
D．they see a growing market for printers

There are two types of twins; identical and non-identical twins. Identical twins are formed from a single egg in mother’s body which divides to from two separate babies. Identical twins look the same, and are often dressed by their parents in clothes of the same colors. It is often difficult to tell identical twins from each other, even when they are standing side by side. Non-identical twins come into being when the mother produces two separated eggs a the same time, both of which grow to form babies. In this case the twins look like normal brothers and sisters and are easy to tell one from the other.
　　In the 1970s and 1980s a scientist did some research into twins. He invited many pairs of identical twins to university and asked them to take part in a week of tests. He was particularly interested in adopted (收養(yǎng)) twins who had been separated at birth. He would give the twins different kinds of tests to study their speed of thinking, their speech, their memory, the ways they saw and heard different things, and so on. Time and time again he found separated twins who preferred clothes of the same color, used the same kind of shaving soap, wore the same shaped square glasses and the same colored socks.
　　There is a third type of twins, but it is a very unusual one. Twins which are joined together at birth are known in western countries as Siamese twins.
小題1:It is difficult to tell identical twins apart because _______.
A．they are dressed in the same clothesB．they are dressed in the same color
C．they are very alikeD．they are standing side by side
小題2:If the twins are easy to tell from each other, they are ______.
A．very probably non-identical twinsB．surely identical twins
C．surely identical twinsD．a(chǎn)lways a brother and a sister
小題3:Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage?
A．In the 1970s and 1980s a scientist did some research into the two main types of twins.
B．In the week of tests, he tested their speed of thinking, their speech, their memory and some other things.
C．There were twins who had been separated from each other as soon as they were born.
D．Very often, separated twins were found to choose things of the same kind, the same shape and the same color.
小題4:This passage mainly tells us _______.
A．the main types of twinsB．what has been found out about twins
C．how twins are formedD．how a scientist studied twins

Research advances over the past decade have told us that, with a little work, we humans can clone just about anything we want, from frogs to monkeys and probably even ourselves!
So, we can clone things, but why would we want to?
Of all the reasons, cloning for medical purposes has the most potential to benefit large numbers of people. How might cloning be used in medicine?
1. Cloning animal models of disease
Much of what researchers learn about human disease comes from studying animal models such as mice. Often, animal models are genetically engineered to carry disease-causing mutations(變異) in their genes. Creating these transgenic（轉(zhuǎn)基因的） animals is a time-intensive process that requires trial-and-error and several generations of breeding（培育）. Cloning technologies might reduce the time needed to make a transgenic animal model, and the result would be a population of genetically identical animals for study.
2．Cloning stem cells(干細(xì)胞) for the treatment of diseases
Stem cells are the body's building blocks, responsible for developing and repairing the body throughout life. As a result, they might be used to repair damaged or diseased organs and tissues. Researchers are currently looking up cloning as a way to create certain human stem cells for the research of diseases.
3. Cloning farm animals for drug production
Farm animals such as cows, sheep and goats are currently being genetically engineered to produce drugs or proteins that are useful in medicine. Just like creating animal models of disease, cloning might be a faster way to produce large herds of genetically engineered animals.
小題1:From Purpose One, we can infer that      .
A．most transgenic animals are clone
B．most animals carry engineered genes
C．most transgenic animal models are not cloned
D．most animals carry disease-causing mutations in their genes
小題2:It can be learned from Purpose Two that cloning technologies can be mainly use do    .
A．create damaged or diseased organs and tissues
B．clone genetically defined human stem cells
C．develop and maintain the body
D．repair the body throughout life
小題3:According to Purpose Three, cloning technologies can be mainly used to      .
A．speed up the producing of genetically engineered animals
B．produce drugs or proteins that are useful in medicine
C．raise genetically engineered cows, sheep and goats
D．produce large herds of animals for human beings
