10.We have seen that pesticides(杀虫剂) now pollute soil,water and food,and that they have the power to make our rivers fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and birdless.Man,however much he may like to pretend the opposite,is part of nature.Can he escape a pollution that is now so thoroughly spread throughout our world?
We know that even single exposure to these chemicals,if the amount is large enough,can cause extremely severe poisoning.But this is not the major problem.The sudden illness or death of farmers,farm workers and others exposed to enough quantities of pesticides is very sad and should not happen.For the population as a whole,we must pay more attention to the delayed effects of taking in small amounts of the pesticides that unseeably pollute our world.
Responsible public health officials have pointed out that the biological effects of chemicals are increasing in amount over long periods of time,and that the danger to the man may depend on the amount of the exposures received throughout his lifetime.For these very reasons people easily take no notice of the danger.It is human nature to shake off what may seem to us a future disaster."Men are naturally most impressed by diseases which have obvious signs,"says a wise physician,Dr.Rene Dubos,"yet some of their worst enemies slowly come near them unnoticed."

62.Which of the following can best summarize the first paragraph of this passage?_C
A.Man has a responsibility to bear for what has happened to nature.
B.Possibly man will escape the effects of environmental pollution.
C.Pesticide-caused pollution may also kill people.
D.Man acts as if he did not belong to nature.
63.People do not give enough attention to the delayed effects of exposure to chemicals becauseD.
A.imited exposure to them does little harm to people's health
B.the present is more important to them than the future
C.humans are able to bear small amounts of poisoning
D.the danger does not become seen clearly and immediately
64.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?_A
A.A person exposed to pesticides even once may get seriously poisoned.
B.Birds are less sensitive to pesticides than humans.
C.The effects of pesticides on humans do not last as long as on fish.
D.Taking in small amounts of pesticides will not cause serious results.
65.We can conclude from what Dr Dubos says thatB.
A.people usually find hidden diseases difficult to deal with
B.people fail to notice hidden dangers caused by pesticides
C.diseases with obvious signs are mostly easy to cure
D.attacks by hidden enemies are likely to be deadly.

Platoon
This famous war movie is the fictional account of a platoon(排) in Vietnam that is divided into two competing groups.The plot is partly based on the director Oliver Stone's real life experience.
Midway
This is probably the most famous war movie ever made about navy.It's based on the battle between Japanese and American aircraft carrier groups near Hawaii in World War II that resulted in a decisive American victory.

5.It's often said that the eye is the window to the soul.But in this case,the eye is the window to Windows.At least,that was the goal when EyeTech Digital Systems got the help of some BYU engineering students in creating an all-in-one eye-tracking system.
The idea behind the project was to create an inexpensive computer system that could be controlled completely with a person's eyes.The hope was that this system could be used by people  with disabilities in parts of the world where they can't afford expensive eye-tracking systems.The students created the tablet(书写板)for their yearlong engineering project for their customer,EyeTech Digital Systems,an Arizona-based company that designs and develops eye-tracking software.
A separate BYU engineering team also worked with EyeTech last year to develop and improve the initial eye-tracking tephnology,but this year's focus was to put the eye tracking into a housing similar to a thick PC.The finished product runs Windows 7 and has the eye-tracking system built in.After a quick adjustment,the system can move the mouse to wherever the user is currently looking.All it takes is a blink(眨眼)to click.
Systems with similar abilities can cost upwards of 14,000.Butthestudentswereabletofindcheaper,readilyavailableparts,pushingthecostdowntounder1,500.Jedediah Nieveen,the captain for this year's team,said the project was a challenge,but one that was rewarding on many levels."A lot of times in school you just work problems out of books,"he said."But this allowed us to take what we learned and apply it to something in real life,something that can help a lot of people,and that's really helped me."
Although the primary purpose of the product is to help people with disabilities,the technology could also have broader applications in the fields of research,advertising and even gaming.
71.According to the text,the eye-tracking system isB   
A.a high-tech computer                                    
B.a computer system operated by eyes
C.a way of protecting eyes                                
D.a software against information theft
72.How long will the research of the eye-tracking project last in all?A
A.About two years.                   
B.Just one year.
C.Over three years.                  
D.Less than one year.
73.The eye-tracking system was created toC   
A.help the poor students                                  
B.improve the computer system
C.support the disabled people                             
D.help to cure people's disabilities
74.What did the BYU engineering students value most during the project?B
A.Earning money for their education.
B.Putting their theory into practice.
C.Showing their talents in technology.
D.Increasing their job opportunities.
75.What can be inferred about the future of the eye-tracking system?A
A.It may face a promising market.
B.It is welcome only to the disabled people.
C.It'll change the disabled people's social position.
D.It can improve the disabled people's main way of life.

15.The common cold is the world's most widespread illness,which is plagues(病疫) that flesh receives.The most widespread fallacy(谬误) of all is that colds caused by cold.They are not.They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person.You catch a cold by coming into contact,directly or indirectly,with someone who already has one.If cold causes colds,it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever.But they do not.And in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches(战壕),cold and wet,showed no increased tendency to catch colds.In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp(奥斯维辛集中营),naked and starving,were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.At the Common Cold Research Unit in England,volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time.After taking hot baths,they put on bathing suits,allowed themselves to be with cold water,and then stood about dripping wet in drafty(通风良好的)room.Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion.Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.If,then,cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds,why are they more frequent in the winter?Despite the most pains-taking research,no one has yet found the answer.One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times,and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.No one has yet found a cure for the cold.There are drugs and pain suppressors(止痛片) such as aspirin,but all they do is relieve the symptoms.

64.Which of the following does not agree with the chosen passage?C
A.The Eskimos do not suffer from colds all the time.
B.Colds are not caused by cold.
C.People suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors.
D.A person may catch a cold by touching someone who already has one.
65.Arctic explorers may catch colds whenD.
A.they are working in the isolated arctic regions
B.they are writing reports in terribly cold weather
C.they are free from work in the isolated arctic regions
D.they are coming into touch again with the outside world
66.Volunteers taking part in the experiments in the Common Cold Research UnitA.
A.suffered a lot       B.never caught colds
C.often caught colds   D.became very strong
67.The passage mainly discussesC.
A.the experiments on the common cold
B.the fallacy about the common cold
C.the reason and the way people catch colds
D.the continued spread of common colds.

2.Who"discovered"America?And who led the first successful attempt to sail around the world in history?
Well,our textbooks have the answers:they are Italian sailor Christopher Columbus and Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan.
However,China's great explorer,Zheng He (1371-1435),may well have beaten his European counterparts (同行) and sailed around the world first.The life and achievements of the legendary sailor are featured in a TV drama,which is being screened on CCTV 8.
Zheng was an officer of the Ming Dynasty's Yongle Emperor.In 1405,the emperor asked Zheng to visit the"Western Seas",which referred to the seas and lands west of the South China Sea.Zheng traveled with 62ships filled with silk and china and 27,800men.The biggest ship was 126meters long and could take the weight of 7000tons.In the following 28years,Zheng made another six successful journeys.He visited over 30countries.Since most of the records of Zheng'voyages have been lost,many historians believe Zheng's achievements have been underestimated. British writer Gavin Menzies,who spent 14years researching the movements of the Chinese fleet,explained it was Zheng who first sailed around the world,in his book,1421,The Year china Discovered America.
While doing research,Menzies said he was shown a map,dated 1459,which included southern Africa and the Cape of Good Hope.Yet the Cape was not"discovered"by Vasco da Gama until 1497.On the map was a note about a voyage round the Cape in 1420-and a picture of a Chinese ship.
"What nobody has explained is why the European explorers had maps.Who drew the maps?"he asks in his book."There are millions of square miles of ocean.It required huge fleets to chart them.If you say it wasn't the Chinese,then who was it?"

63.The underlined word"featured"in the 3rd paragraph can be replaced byB.
A.advertised                    B.shown
C.involved                      D.affected
64.Which of the following is the evidence to prove that America was discovered by the Chinese according to Gavin Menzies?C
A.Textbooks.                   B.History books.
C.An ancient map.              D.Zheng's logbooks.
65.With most of Zheng's logbooks lost,people today are not sure ofA.
A.the exact places Zheng He reached on his voyages
B.the scale of the fleet on Zheng He's voyages
C.the times of Zheng He's successful voyages
D.the purpose of Zheng He's voyages
66.Which of the following is a definite fact about the Cape of Good Hope?A
A.It was discovered by Vasco da Gama.
B.It was discovered by the Chinese.
C.It was discovered by Christopher Columbus.
D.It was discovered by Ferdinand Magellan.
