根据下列材料，请回答题

Local Newspapers in Britain

1 Britain has a large circulation （发行量） of the national newspapers. The Daily Mirror and The Daily Express both sell about 4 million copies each day. On average， every family will buy one newspaper in the morning， and take two or three on Sundays.

2 Local newspapers are just as popular as the national ones in Britain. Local papers have a weekly circulation of 13 million. Nearly every town and country area has its own paper， and almost every local paper is financially holding its own. Many local newspapers are earning good profits.

3 Local newspapers have their special characteristics. They mainly satisfy interest in local events——births， weddings， deaths， council meetings， and sports. Editors often rely on a small staff of people who know the district well. Clubs and churches in the neighborhood regularly supply these papers with much local news. Local news does not get out of date as quickly as national

news. If there is no room for it in this week"s edition， a news item can be held over until the following week.

4 The editor of a local newspaper never forgets that the success of any newspaper depends on advertising. For this reason， he is keen to keep the good will of local businessmen. If the newspaper sells well with carefully chosen news items to attract local readers， the businessmen will be grateful to the paper for the opportunity of keeping their products in the public eye.

5 Local newspapers seldom comment on problems of national importance， and editol"s rarely take sides on political questions. But they can often provide service to the community in expressing public feeling on local issues. A newspaper can sometimes persuade the council to take action to improve transport， provide better shopping facilities， and preserve local monuments and places of interest.

根据下列材料，请回答题The first navigational lights in the New World were probably lighthou

根据下列材料，请回答题

The first navigational lights in the New World were probably lighthouses hung at harbor entrances. The first lighthouse was put up by the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1716 on Little Brewster Island at the entrance to Boston Harbor. Paid for and maintained by "light dues" levied （征收） on ships， the original beacon was blown up in 1776. Until then there were only a dozen or so true lighthouses in the colonies. Little over a century later， there were 700 lighthouses.

The first eight lighthouses erected on the West Coast in the 1850s featured the same basic New England design :a Cape Cod dwelling with the tower rising from the center or standing close by. In New England and elsewhere， though， lighthouses reflected a variety of architectural styles. Since most stations in the Northeast were set up on rocky eminences （高处）， enormous towers were not the rule. Some were made of stone and brick， others of wood or metal. Some stood on pilings or stilts; some were fastened to rock with iron rods. Farther south， from Maryland through the Florida Keys， the coast was low and sandy. It was often necessary to build tall towers there massive structures like the majestic lighthouse in Cape Hatteras， North Carolina ，which was lit in 1870. 190 feet high， it is the tallest brick lighthouse in the country.

Not with standing differences in construction appearance， most lighthouses in America shared several features: a light， living quarters， and sometimes a bell （or， later， a foghorn）. They also had something else in common: a keeper and usually the keeper"s family. The keeper"s essential task was trimming the lantern wick （灯芯） in order to maintain a steady， bright flame. The earliest keepers came from every walk of life， they were seamen， farmers， mechanics， rough mill hands and appointments were often handed out by local customs commissioners as political plums. After the administration of lighthouse was taken over in 1852 by the United States Lighthouse Board， and agency of the Treasury Department， the keeper corps gradually became highly professional.

Which is the best tide for the passage？查看材料

A.The Lighthouse on Little Brewster Island.

B.The Life of a Lighthouse Keeper.

C.Early Lighthouses in the United States.

D.The Modern Profession of Lighthouse-keeping.

根据下列材料，请回答题

Electronic Mail

During the past few years， scientists all over the world have suddenly found themselves productively engaged in task they once spent their lives avoiding——writing， any kind of writing， but particularly letter writing. Encouraged by electronic mail"s surprisingly high speed， convenience and economy， people who never before touched the stuff are regularly， skillfully， even cheerfully tapping out a great deal of correspondence.

Electronic networks， woven into the fabric of scientific communication these days， are the route to colleagues in distant countries， shared data， bulletin boards and electronic journals. Anyone with a personal computer， a modern and the software to link computers over telephone lines can sign on. An estimated five million scientists have done so with more joining every day， most of them communicating through a bundle of interconnected domestic and foreign routes known collectively as the Internet， or net.

E-mail is starting to edge out the fax， the telephone， overnight mail， and of course， land mail. It shrinks time and distance between scientific collaborators， in part because it is conveniently asynchronous （异步的（Writer can type while their colleagues across time zones sleep; their message will be waiting. ）. If it is not yet speeding discoveries， it is certainly accelerating communication.

Jeremy Bernstein， the physicist and science writer， once called E-mail the physicist"s umbilical cord （脐带）. Later other people， too， have been discovering its connective virtues. Physicists are using it; college students are using it; everybody is using it; and as a sign that it has come of age， the New Yorker has celebrated its liberating presence with a cartoon——an appreciative dog seated at a keyboard， saying happily， "On the Internet， nobody knows you"re a dog. "

The reasons given below about the popularity of E-mail can be found in the passage except_________ 查看材料

A.direct and reliable

B.time-saving in delivery

C.money-saving

D.available at any time

根据下列材料，请回答题

First Self-contained Heart Implanted

A patient on the brink of death has received the world"s first self-contained artificial heart a battery-powered device about the size of a softball that runs without the need for wires， tubes or hoses sticking out of the chest.

Two surgeons from the University of Louisville implanted the titanium and plastic pump during a seven-hour operation at Jewish Hospital Monday. The hospital said the patient was" awake and responsive" Tuesday and resting comfortably. It refused to release personal details.

The patient had been expected to die within a month without the operation， and doctors said they expected the artificial heart to extend the person"s life by only a month. But the device is considered a major step toward improving the patient"s quality of life.

The new pump， called A bioCor， is also a technological leap from the mechanical hearts used in the 1980s， which were attached by wires and tubes to bulky machinery outside the body. The most famous of those， the Jarvic-7， used air as a pumping device and was attached to an apparatus about the size of a washing machine.

"I think it"s potentially a major step forward in the artificial heart development，" said Dr.David Faxon， president of the American Heart Association. However， he said the dream of an implantable， permanent artificial heart is not yet a reality，" This is obviously an experimental device whose long-term success has to be demonstrated. " Only about half of the 4，200 Americans on a waiting list for donor hearts received them last year， and most of the rest died.

Some doctors， including Robert Higgins， chairman of cardiology at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond， said artificial hearts are unlikely to replace donor hearts.

"A donor heart in a good transplant can last 15 to 30 years，" he said. "It"s going to be hard to replace that with a machine. "

The AbilCor has a 2-pound pumping unit， and electronic controls that adjust the pumping speed based on the body"s needs. It is powered by a small battery pack worn outside the body that transmits current through the skin.

The pump of the first implanted self-contained heart was made of titanium and plastic. 查看材料

根据下列材料，请回答题

Clone Farm

Factory farming could soon enter a new era of mass production．Companies in the US are developing the technology needed to“clone”chickens on a massive scale．Once a chicken with desirable traits has been bred or genetically engineered，tens of thousands of eggs，which will hatch into identical copies，could roll off the production lines every hour．Billions of clones could be produced each year to supply chicken farms with birds that all grow at the same rate，have the same amount of meat and taste the same．

This，at least，is the vision of the us’s National Institute of Science and Technology．Which has given Origen Therapeutics of Burlingame，California，and Embrex of North Carolina$4．7 million to help fund research．The prospect has alarmed animal welfare groups，who fear it could increase the suffering of farm birds．

That’s unlikely to put off the poultry industry，however，which wants disease resistant birds that grow faster on less food．“Producers would like the same meat quantity but to use reduced inputs to get there，”says Mike Fitzgerald of Origen．To meet this demand．Origen aims to“create an animal that is effectively a clone”．he says．Normal cloning doesn’t work in birds because eggs can’t be removed and implanted．Instead，the company is trying to bulk．grow embryonic stem cells taken from fertilized eggs as soon as they’re laid．“The trick is to culture the cells without them starting to distinguish，so they remain pluripotent，”says Fitzgerald．

Using a long—established technique．these donor cells will then be injected into the embryo of a freshly laid，fertilized recipient egg，forming a chick that is a“chimera”．Strictly speaking a chimera isn’t a clone，because it contains cells from both donor and recipient．But Fitzgerald says it will be enough if，say，95 percent of a chicken’s body develops from donor cells．“In the poultry world，it doesn’t matter if it"s not l00 percent．”he says．

Another challenge for Origen is to scale up production．To do this，it has teamed up with Embrex，which produces machines that can inject vaccines into up t0 50，000 eggs an hour．Embrex is now trying to modify the machines to locate the embryo and inject the cells into precisely the right spot without killing it．

In future，Origen imagines freezing stem cells from different strains of chicken．If orders come in for a particular strain，millions of eggs could be produced in months or even weeks．At present． maintaining all the varieties the market might call for is too expensive for breeders and it takes years to bread enough chickens to produce the billions of eggs that farmers need．

According to the first paragraph，which statement is the best description of the new era of factory farming？查看材料

A.Eggs are all genetically engineered．

B.Thousands of eggs are produced every hour．

C.Cloned chickens are bulk—produced with the same growth rate，weight and taste．

D.Identical eggsscan be hatched on the production lines．

根据下列材料，请回答题A Very Slow RideThe surface of the earth may seem very stable to you.

根据下列材料，请回答题

A Very Slow Ride

The surface of the earth may seem very stable to you. But you might be amazed if you knew some of the things that are going on under that surface.

The earth has an outer shell of rigid pieces called tectonic plates （地壳构造板块）. The plates include both ocean floor and dry land. Some have whole continents on top of them. The continents on top of the plates are just going along for a slow ride， moving only about four inches per year. But even this small movement causes three types of big interactions.

One type is ocean ridges. These ridges develop in places where two plates are moving away from each other. As the plates separate， hot magma（岩浆） flows up to fill the space. New crust（地壳） builds up on the plate boundaries and causes ocean ridges. These ridges form. long mountain ranges， which only rise above the ocean surface in a few places.

Another type of reaction——trenches——occurs between two plates that are moving toward each other. As the plates meet， one bends downward and plunges underneath the other. This forms deep ocean trenches. The Marianas Trench off Guam in the western Pacific Ocean has a depth of more than 36，000 feet. This is the lowest point on the ocean floor. If the leading edges of the two colliding plates carry continents， then the layers of rock in the overriding plate crumple（变皱） and fold. A plate that carried what is now India collided with the southern edge of the plate that carried Europe and most of Asia. This caused the Himalayas， the world"s highest mountains.

The third reaction is transform. faults（转换断层）. These faults occur where two plates that are traveling in opposite directions slide past each other. Severe earthquakes can occur. The San Andreas Fault in California is a good example of this type of movement.

The word "stable" （paragraph 1 ） means 查看材料

A."a place for horses"

B."calm and easygoing"

C."steady or firm"

D."a collection of animals"

根据下列材料，请回答题

Look After Your Voice

Often speakers， at a meeting experience dry mouths and ask for a glass of water. You can solve the problem by activating the saliva in your mouth. First gently bite the edges of your tongue with your teeth. Or， press your entire tongue to the bottom of your mouth and hold it there until the saliva flows. Or you can imagine that you are Slicing a big juicy lemon and sucking the juice.

Before you begin your talk， be kind to your voice， Avoid milk or creamy drinks which dry your throat. Keep your throat wet by drinking a little sweetened warm tea or diluted fruit juice.

If you sense that you are losing your voice， stop talking completely. In the meantime， do not even talk in a low voice. Save your voice for your health. You may feel foolish using paper to write notes， but the best thing you can do is to rest your voice. If it is necessary ， perhaps you can get some advice from a professional singer.

What about drinking alcohol to wet your throat？ I advice you not to touch alcohol before speaking. The problem with alcohol is that one drink gives you a little confidence. The second drink gives you even more confidence. Finally you will feel all-powerful and you will feel you can do everything， but in fact your brain and your mouth do not work together properly. Save the alcohol until after you finish speaking.

Perhaps you want to accept the advice， but you may wonder if you can ever change the habits of a lifetime. Of course you can. Goethe， who lived before indoor skating rinks or swimming pools， said， "We learn to skate in the summer and swim in the winter". Take this message to heart and give yourself time to develop your new habits. If you are willing to change， you will soon be able to say that you will never forget these techniques because they became a part of your body.

To solve the problem of dry mouths， one is advised to take cool milk. 查看材料

根据下列材料，请回答题The Weight ExperimentNicola Waiters has been taking part in experimen

根据下列材料，请回答题

The Weight Experiment

Nicola Waiters has been taking part in experiments in Scotland to discover why humans gain and lose weight. Being locked in a small room called a"calorimeter" （热量测量室外） is one way to find out.

1 The signs above the two rooms read simply "Chamber One" and "Chamber Two". These are the calorimeters: 4m by 2m white-walled rooms where human volunteers are locked up in the name of science. Outside these rooms another sign reads" Please do not enter-work in progress" and in front of the rooms advanced machinery registers every" move the volunteers make. Each day， meals measured to the last gram are passed through a hole in the wall of the calorimeter to the resident volunteer.

2 Nicola Waiters is one of twenty volunteers who， over the past eight months， have spent varying periods inside the calorimeter. Tall and slim， Nicola does not have a weight problem， but thought the strict diet might help with her training and fitness program me. As a self-employed community dance worker， she was able to fit the experiment in around her work. She saw an advert for volunteers at her local gym and as she is interested in the whole area of diet and exercise， she thought she would help out.

3 The experiment on Nicola involved her spending one day on a fixed diet at home and the next in the room. This sequence was repeated four times over six weeks. She arrived at the calorimeter at 8:30 am on each of the four mornings and from then on everything she ate or drank was carefully measured. Her every move was noted too， her daily exercise routine， timed to the last second. At regular intervals， after eating， she filled in forms about how hungry she felt and samples were taken for analysis.

4 The scientists help volunteers impose a kind of order on the long days they face in the room. "The first time， I only took one video and a book， but it was OK because I watched TV the rest of the time，" says Nicola. And twice a day she used the exercise bike. She pedaled （踩踏板） for half an hour， watched by researchers to make sure she didn"t go too fast.

5 It seems that some foods encourage you to eat more， while others satisfy you quickly. Volunteers are already showing that high-fat diets are less likely to make you feel full. Believing that they may now know what encourages people to overeat， the researchers are about to start testing a high-protein weight-loss diet. Volunteers are required and Nicola has signed up for further sessions.

根据以下材料，回答题。

A Letter from Alan-

I have learnt of a plan to build three hundred houses on the land called Parson"s Place by the football ground. Few people know about this new plan to increase the size of our town. For me， Parson"s Place is special because it is a beautiful natural area where local people can relax——the small wood has many unusual trees and the stream is popular with fishermen and bird-watchers. It"s very quiet because there are few houses or roads nearby. I think that losing this area will be terrible because we have no other similar facilities in the neigh bour hood.

I am also against this plan because it will cause traffic problems. How will the people from the new houses travel to work？ The motorway and the railway station are on the other side of town. There fore these people will have to drive through the town centre every time they go anywhere.

The roads will always be full of traffic， there will be nowhere to park and the tourists who come to see our lovely old buildings will leave. Shops and hotels will lose business. If the town really needs more homes，the empty ground beside the railway station is a more suitable place.

No doubt the builders will make a lot of money by selling these houses. But，in my opinion， the average person will quickly be made poorer by this plan. As well as this， we will lose a very special place and our town will be much less pleasant.

I am going to the local government offices on Monday morning to protest about this plan and I hope that your readers will join me there. We must make them stop this. plan before it is too late.

Why has Alan written this letter？查看材料

A.To persuade the government to build new houses.

B.To protest about a new motorway near the town.

C.To encourage more people in the town to use Parson"s Place.

D.，To inform. other people about the builders" plans.
