    The disaster at the Chernobyl(former USSR前苏联) power station happened quickly and without warning. It was in the early hours of April 26, 1986 when the cooling system of the reactor(反应堆) failed. Minutes later, a violent (猛烈地) explosion blew the top off the reactor and blasted(爆炸生成) a huge cloud of radioactive gas high into atmosphere. Two people were killed immediately. Hundreds received powerful radiation overdose (过量). And more than 25,000 had to be taken away from their homes.
    Days later, the radioactive cloud had spread as far as Scotland. Its radiation was weak, but all over Europe radioactive rain was falling. In some areas people were advised not to eat fresh vegetables, or drink fresh milk, and the sale of meat was forbidden.
    The accident at Chernobyl was the world’s worst nuclear accident. In Britain, it convinced (使……相信) many people that all nuclear power stations should be shut down for good. But the Central Electricity Generating Board didn’t agree. They claimed that ·similar disasters could not happen in Britain because of safer designs, fewer deaths are caused using nuclear fuel (燃料) than by mining for coal or drilling for oil and gas. Nuclear accidents are unusually fewer compared with other types of accidents-such as air crashes, fires or dam break-down more nuclear power stations are necessary because the world’s supplies of oil, coal and natural gas are running out.
    In 1957 in Cumbria (Britain) a nuclear reactor overheated and caught fire. No one was killed but fourteen workers received radiation overdose. Small amounts of gas and dust were let out over the local countryside.
    An official report said the accident was nearly a full-scale disaster. The Nuclear Authority wanted the report published but the Prime Minister at the time refused. He thought that it would make people less confident in Britain’s nuclear industry. Thirty years later, the cabinet(内阁) records of 1957 were published. Only then did the public discover what had really happened in Cumbria.
    小题1:. One result of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster was that ______.
    A．25,000 people were killed
    B．fresh foods were polluted
    C．people in Scotland were taken away from their homes
    D．hundreds of houses in Chernobyl were destroyed
    小题2:.According to the passage, nuclear accidents______.
    A．are most unlikely to cause deathB．are always kept secret from the public
    C．can only happen in underdeveloped countriesD．may happen in any country that has nuclear power station.
    小题3:. After the nuclear accident at Chernobyl many people in Britain _______.
    A．still believed it could not happen in their country.
    B．were not convinced that nuclear power stations could be safe
    C．accepted that there would be fewer deaths than in drilling for oil
    D．supported nuclear power stations because world fuel supplies were low
    小题4:.. The British Government refused to publish the report on the Cumbria accident because _______.
    A．Britain’s supplies of oil, coal and gas were running out
    B．it takes thirty years for the effects of radiation to appear
    C．fewer people died in that accident than in other types of accidents
    D．it was concerned that the British people would doubt their country’s nuclear expertise (核技术)

    I don't ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it's like to work in a field dominated by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.
    At 19, when I began studying astrophysics(天体物理学), it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as 3 post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement—jobs, research papers, awards— was viewed through the lens of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.
    Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations: I don't talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn't want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don't study sociology or political theory.
    Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women's college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer: 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don't dismiss those concerns. Still, I don't tell them "war" stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that's a sight worth talking about.
    小题1:.

    B．her involvement in gender politics
    C．her over-confidence as a female astrophysicist
    D．the burden she bears in a male-dominated society
    小题2:.

    When 7-year-old Warren Buffet said “ I will be the richest man one day”, his friends made fun of his “daydreaming”. But ever since then the little boy has set about learning how to make money, selling drinks, delivering newspapers and buying stocks. He had already earned $ 9,000 ( equal to $ 90,000 today) by the time he graduated from high school and became a millionaire at 32.
    And this month the 77-year- old, who earned his fortune by making a lot of great investment in the stock market, made his childhood dream come true. With a fortune of $ 62billion, Buffet has risen to be the world’s richest man according to Forbes Magazine.
    Born in 1930, Buffet, the only son of a stockbroker, started on achieving his billion-dollar dream at an early age and was always ready to think outside the box to develop his business. At 8 he went to golf courses collecting and selling used balls.
    At 11 when he sold soda pop door to door with a friend, the pair collected lids on the streets to judge which flavor was the most popular.
    As a paper boy during high school, Buffet delivered two rival (竞争对手的)papers, so that even when customers canceled one of the subscriptions, he could still make a profit from the other. With his paper delivery savings, Buffet bought 162,000 square meters of farmland and collect rent.
    Young Buffet stepped into the stock market at 11 but earned only $ 5. The experience taught him one of the virtues (品质) in investing: patience.
    After graduating from university, Buffet started his venture with stocks with his childhood earnings and money from friends. He researched the stocks and just bought those of solid companies that were undervalued and inexpensive at the time. By sticking to companies such as American Express and Coca-cola, Buffet has become rich.
    “Learning is important to Buffet’s success. He is a learning machine who can spend his entire day reading. He keeps learning, from books, street smarts and investigation, from both success and failure. In this way, he finally over achieved his aptitude ( 才能) ，” said Charlie Munger, his long-time business partner.
    小题1:Which of the following questions has NOT been discussed in the selection？
    A．What is Buffet’s approach to investing.
    B．How do other people view Buffet.
    C．How has Buffet handled hardships in his life.

    小题2:With the example of delivering two rival papers in high school, the author intends to tell us that Buffet______.
    A．had a good sense of business
    B．was a good paper boy
    C．was hard to deal with business
    D．knew anything but how to make money
    小题3:. What did Buffet learn from his early experience of investing in stock market?
    A．You never stop learning.
    B．Be patient in business.
    C．Only buy stocks of solid companies that are undervalued and inexpensive.
    D．Stick to buying stocks in companies such as American Express and Coca-cola.
    小题4:. Which of the following can most probably serve as the title of the selection?
    A．Buffet – Good Example for All

    During my many contacts with people in China, I have been asked by two different people what I would recommend to them so that they could be happy. One of these people was my student and friend who began her question by saying I always appeared happy to her. She then asked how I could be this way and if I could teach her how to be happy all the time. The other inquiry was basically the same and came from the secretary of a company for which I was doing some work.
    The first one to ask was my student and in thinking about an answer I even explored in class the idea of optimism and pessimism, of people who feel the glass is always half full and those who think it is half empty. It was easy to show that different people react differently to the same situations and conditions but that didn’t bring me much closer to understanding why.
    About two months later I was riding to the airport in a taxi with the company secretary who asked me the same question and it made me think. Why did both these ladies feel they needed help to become happy? Indeed, why did either of them think they were not happy? Why did they choose to ask this question of me? Why are some people generally happy while others are not?
    Certainly if someone is healthy, it might be expected that they are happy, and this is probably true. However, some people have money and health but have a miserable disposition that makes it difficult for them to have friends and meaningful relationships. Similarly, one would expect those who have little to complain about their fate and many do, but others are able to enjoy what they have and enjoy life. It seems the difference must lie within the people. What we may be looking at is acceptance of a personal set of circumstances and the contentment which flows from that. It should not mean, however, that those people cannot wish for something better.
    If the difference between people who are happy and those who are not lies within the people themselves, can happiness be learned? I think there are things we can do, such as dreaming of the future, which can give us the sort of positive outlook which will generally make us happy people.
    小题1: According to the passage, which of the following is true?
    A．The author was once asked how to be healthy and wealthy by two people.
    B．The author came to realize why people responded differently to happiness.
    C．Those who think the glass is always half empty are optimistic.
    D．Those who feel the glass is always half full are pessimistic.
    小题2:. The underlined word “disposition” in the fourth paragraph means         .
    A．characterB．habitC．reputationD．fate
    小题3: The underlined word “it” in the fourth paragraph refers to         .
    A．the idea of pessimismB．the attitude towards happiness
    C．the satisfaction withinD．the appearance of happiness
    小题4:. What will the author most probably talk about after the last paragraph?  
    A．Learning how to be happy. B．Accepting the present situation.
    C．Developing meaningful relationships.D．Going after the dream.
