    9．At present，in many American cities expecially，many teachers in the public schools say they are underpaid．They point to jobs such as secretary or truck driver，which often pay more to start thanthatof a teacher．In many other fields，such as law，medicine，computer science，a beginning worker may make more than a teacher who has taught for several years．
             Teaching has never been a profession that attracted people interested in high salaries．It is by history a profession that has provided rewards in addition to money-the satisfaction of sharing knowledge，of influencing others，of guiding young people．But in the past several years，there are more difficulties in teaching，for many，than there are rewards．
        Unruly students，especially in big cities，large classes and a lack of support from the public in terms of money and understanding have led many public school teachers to leave the profession．
             As a result，many of the best students，who would have chosen teaching as their life career in the past，are going into other fields．
             Another reason for this change in teacher candidates is the changing status of women in the United States．Until the late 1960s and 1970s，one of the most popular choices for women was teaching．But as other professions，such as law and medicine opened up to women，women stopped pouring into teacher training programs．Thus，a major pool of excellent candidates for the teaching profession dwindled．
             Bit by bit government officials and others realized that the status of the teacher had suffered．They talked about change．But the change in a vast society like the United States is not easy．People's attitudes have formed over many years，and sometimes change takes many years．
    63．The underlined word"that"in Paragraph 1 refers to"B"．
    A．money                                                               
    B．job
    C．secretary                                                          
    D．truck driver
    64．What is the present situation of the teaching？A
    A．Teachers work harder and get underpaid．
    B．Teahcers have no opportunities to work in other fields．
    C．Teaching can attract best students to work as a teacher．
    D．Teaching can provide rewards as well as high salaries．
    65．Many public school teachers turn to other professions becauseD．
    A．the government doesn't finacially support them
    B．they have to work longer hours than a lawyer
    C．their students refuse to listen to them
    D．they are not fairly treated
    66．The author believes that change in teachers'status in the United StatesD．
    A．is not great            
    B．is impossible
    C．influences people's attitude
    D．needs time．

    20．A planet more like Earth than any yet discovered has been identified as a potential future home for mankind．Kepler 22b contains both land and water and has temperatures which average around 72 degrees （22 Celsius）．It also contains the right atmosphere to potentially support life．It is，however，600 light years from Earth．
    The planet，where a year lasts 290 days，was first spotted two years ago．However，NASA scientists using the agency's Kepler space telescope have now concluded that it offers the best hope for future human habitation outside the Solar System．
    One of the key factors for a planet to be habitable is that it remains about the right distance from its main star to be neither too cold nor too hot．
    Bill Borucki，Kepler principal investigator at NASA Research Centre，said，"We are certain that it is in the habitable zone and if it has a surface it ought to have a nice temperature．
    There are now three planets outside the system，known as exoplanets，which experts believe could potentially be occupied by future generations．

    68．Which of the following is most likely to support life for a planet？D
        A．It has 290 days in a year．
        B．It contains both water and land and the right atmosphere．
        C．Its temperatures average 72 degrees （22 Celsius）．
        D．It remains proper distance from its star to have a nice temperature．

    17．Before Alaska became part of the U．S．，it had been owned by Russia．Trading posts and small settlements were scattered along the coast．The rest of land was left unexplored．The Russians were mainly interested in the wealth of furs from the vast herds of seals they found there．
        By the mid-1800's，most of the seal herds had been wiped out，and Russia no longer wanted to keep Alaska．William Seward，Secretary of State for President Johnson，believed the United States should buy Alaska from Russia．President Johnson wasn't so sure it was a wise way to spend U．S．money，but he agreed to let Seward discuss it with the Russians．Acting quickly，Seward made a deal．On March 30，1867，he signed an agreement for the U．S．to pay seven million dollars for the land．
        Many people thought it was a foolish waste of America's money．They called the deal"Seward's folly"．Then gold was discovered in Alaska and public opinion changed quickly．
    Seward did not live to see the true value of Alaska．He died in 1872，five years after making the purchase （购买）．Each year，Alaska's natural resources have brought in many times the $7，000，000 paid for it．Natural gas，coal，oil，lumber，seafood and other minerals，besides the gold first found，have made it a valuable addition to the United States．In 1959，Alaska became the 49th state of the United States．

    4．Some years ago，a Miami woman walking through an office building noticed two men standing together．Several minutes after her leaving，the men murdered a person working in the building．The police determined that the woman was the only witness and could possibly describe them．However，her memory of the men proved disappointingly unclear．Several days later，psychologist Ronald Fisher was brought in to obtain a more complete account from the woman．His interview produced a breakthrough-the woman reported a clear picture of one of the suspects．The important information enabled the police lo arrest the suspect and close the case．
        The police asked Fisher for help because of his rich knowledge in cognitive interview，a kind of memory-rebuilding process．Memory researchers have found that people trying to remember a past event often only recall part of the relevant information．Human memory is selective and it is often distorted by stress．But a person's accurate recall of an event or understanding of a question can be improved using specific interviewing techniques．The"cognitive interview"was developed in the late 1990s．It encourages the witness to take an active role in recalling information rather than giving answers only to someone else's questions．The witness first describes what happened in his or her own words，with no interviewer interruptions．The interviewer then goes further with specific techniques，such as having the witness tell the details of what happened from different perspectives （角度）．
        The cognitive interview focuses on guiding witnesses through four general recalling techniques：thinking about physical surroundings and personal feelings that existed at the time of past events； reporting everything that conies to mind about those events，no matter how broken it is retelling events in a variety of time orders，such as from beginning to end，end to beginning，forward or backward； and adopting different perspectives while recalling events．
        Experiments with police detectives trained in this demanding interview method find that they obtain nearly 50% more information from witnesses than before training，while error rates remain about the same．It is proved that cognitive interviews are quite important tools in improving the accuracy and completeness of witness testimony （证词）．
    67．The purpose of the passage is toB．
    A．give an account of a murder case
    B．introduce an idea of cognitive interview
    C．prove Fisher was an expert in cognitive interview
    D．help a witness to recall information in a cognitive interview
    68．What is required to recall in a cognitive interview for a witness？D
    A．The exact time at which a murder took place．
    B．The information about the event in the time order．
    C．The important things that come to his or her mind．
    D．The surroundings and feelings at the time of the event．
    69．The key point in a cognitive interview is thatA
    A．the witness is encouraged to take part in recalling information
    B．the interviewer should interrupt the witness from time to time
    C．the interview should take place outside the police station
    D．the witness should recall details at the scene of the event
    70．The underlined word"distorted"in the passage probably means"C
    A．arranged     B．balanced         C．，changed    D．examined．

    18．So hungry do some plants get that they eat flies，spiders，and even small frogs．What's more amazing is that these plants occur naturally （in special environments） in every state．In fact，they're found on every continent except Antarctica．
    You've probably seen a Venus'flytrap．It's often sold in museum gift stores，department stores，and even supermarkets．A small plant，it grows 6to 8inches tall in a container．At the end of its stalks （茎） are specially modified leaves that act like traps．Inside each trap is a lining of tiny trigger （触发） hairs．When an insect lands on them，the trap suddenly shuts．Over the course of a week or so，the plant feeds on its catch．
    The Venus'flytrap is just one of more than 500species of meat-eating plants，says Barry Meyers-Rice，the editor of the International Carnivorous （ 食肉的 ） Plant Society's Newsletter．Note：Despite any science-fiction stories you might have read，no meat-eating plant does any danger to humans．
    Dr．Meyers-Rice says a plant is meat-eating，only if it does all four of the following："attract，kill，digest，and absorb"some form of insects，including flies，butterflies，and moths．Meat-eating plants look and act like other green plants---well，most of the time．
    All green plants make sugar through a process called photosynthesis （光合作用）．Plants use the sugar to make food．What makes"meat-eating"plants different is their bug-catching leaves．They need insects for one reason：nitrogen （氮）．Nitrogen is a nutrient that they can't obtain any other way．While almost all green plants on our planet get nitrogen from the soil，"meat-eating"plants can't．They live in places where nutrients are hard or almost impossible to get from the soil because of its acidity．So they've come to rely on getting nitrogen from insects and small animals．In fact，nutrient-rich soil is poisonous to"meat-eating"plants．Never fertilize them!But don't worry，either，if they never seem to catch any insects．They can survive，but they'll grow very slowly．
    24．According to the passage，carnivorous plantsB．
    A．only grow in wild field    
    B．cannot grow on Antarctica
    C．are as common as flies       
    D．are rare to see
    25．Venus'flytrap preys on insects byD．
    A．its numerous long and thin stalks
    B．a container where it grows
    C．the lining of tiny trigger hairs
    D．its insect-catching leaves
    26．We can conclude from the third paragraph thatB．
    A．carnivorous plants are dangerous
    B．carnivorous plants are harmless to humans
    C．carnivorous plants occasionally eat books
    D．carnivorous plants are fictional
    27．In the eyes of the author，which of the following statements is TRUE？A
    A．Carnivorous plants can grow in nutrient-poor soil．
    B．Carnivorous plants cannot grow in acid soil．
    C．Carnivorous plants will die if they cannot catch any insects．
    D．Carnivorous plants can get nitrogen from nutrient-rich soil．
