    Twenty-three senior high school graduates of 1999 from Wuhan, Hubei Province, have recently left for Germany on a work-study program according to Xi’an Evening Newspaper.
    They will study hotel management in Bavarian Hotel Management School for a year and then take up two-year practice in Germany. Upon graduation, they will also get diplomas (文凭) recognized internationally. During their two-year practice, they earn no less than 1 200 Deutsche Marks (德国马克) a month.
    The program, organized by a company in Wuhan, aims at providing the city’s high school graduates with new job chances.
    Applicants (申请者) must first pass an exam given by the German side and pay 180 000 yuan covering the three year’s study and living expenses in Germany. In spite of this, the program still attracted a lot of high school graduates and their parents. And applicants came in a continuous stream.
    “The change for my child to go to college is small. What’s more, it’s not easy to find a job. We find the work-study program an equally good way out for him,” a parent said, “We don’t worry much about the high costs because the total income from the two-year-long practice will be quite enough to clear them.”

    阅读短文，选出最佳答案。
    If you do not use your arm or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(受责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: Practice remembering.
    1. The main reason for one is poor memory is that _______.
    A. his father or mother may have a poor memory
    B. He does not use his name or legs for some time
    C. his memory is not often used
    D. he can’t read or write
    2. If you do not use your arms or legs for some time _______.
    A. you can’t use them any more      
    B. they will become stronger
    C. they become weak and won’t become strong until you use them again.
    D. they will become neither stronger nor weaker
    3. Which of the following is NOT true?
    A. Your memory works in the same way as your arms or legs.
    B. Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you don’t give it enough chance for practice.
    C. Don’t learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory.
    D. A good memory comes from more practice.
    4. Some people can’t read or write, but they usually have better memories, because _______.
    A. they have save much trouble           B. they have saved much time to remember things
    C. they have to use their memories all the time  D. they can’t write everything in a little notebook
    5. Which is the best title for this passage?
    A. Don’t Stop Using Your Arms Or Legs      B. How To Have a Good Memory
    C. Strong Arms And Good Memories         D. Learn From the People

    This was no ordinary class. The students who came together were all science or engineering professors at Cornell University. They had interrupted their research to accept an invitation to take part in an unusual experiment: “an interesting week of poetry.” This class was part of a study to answer the questions: Why is science difficult for many nonscience students? What can teachers learn about teaching if they take a class that is not in their field?
    The students in the poetry class listened to lectures and took notes. They had reading tasks and had to write three short papers. All students noticed one thing – the importance of spoken words. In science and engineering classes, the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard. But in this poetry class, the instructors just talked. They didn’t write anything on the board.
    The scientists and engineers noticed one similarity between science and poetry. In both subjects, students need to find layers (层次)　of meaning . Some layers are simple, clean, and on the surface; other layers are deeper and more difficult. This search for different levels of meaning doesn’t happen much in undergraduate(本科)　science classes, but it is important later, in graduate school. And it is always important in humanities(人文科学).
    Both the poetry instructors and their students learned something about teaching from this experience. One poetry instructor, for example, now sees the importance of using informative as he teaches. Most of the scientists agreed on several points. First, humanities classes might help science students to see patterns and decide which information is important. Second, the poetry class was fun. One engineer decided, “We need to change the way we teach engineering to make to make it an enjoyable experience for students.”
    But perhaps the most important result of the experience was this; All of the professors began to think about how they teach and how they cam teach better.
    小题1:What do we know about this unusual class?
    A．The teachers did lots of writing on the board
    B．The teacher were invited to attend several lectures.
    C．The student were professors from a university
    D．The students were studying science and humanities.
    小题2:The experiment was designed to find out             
    A．how to teach the students in the science class
    B．whether poetry is difficult for science students
    C．what to be taught in the humanities class
    D．why many humanities students find science hard.
    小题3:Finding levels of meaning is            .
    A．important for graduate students in humanities
    B．difficult for graduate students in humanities
    C．common for undergraduate students in science
    D．easy for undergraduate students in science.
    小题4:What did the science professors learn after the experiment?
    A．They should change the way they teach
    B．A poem could be explained in clear definitions.
    C．A poetry class could be more informative.
    D．Their teaching was an enjoyable experience.

    A device that stops drivers form falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months.
    The system, called Driver Alert, aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20% - 40% that are caused by tiredness. Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue.
    Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband. The device, worn by drivers or pilots, gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel (方向盘). A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound the driver’s response.
    Tiredness is directly related to a driver’s response time. Usually, a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond, but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds, it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy.
    In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds, showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest. If the driver’s response continues to slow down, the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible.
    The device has been delivered to the department’s laboratories for testing. If these tests, scheduled for six months’ time, are successful, the makers will bring the product to market within about a year.
    小题1:According to the text, Driver Alert ______.
    A．aims to reduce tiredness-related accidents
    B．has gone through testing at laboratories
    C．aims to prevent drivers form sleeping
    D．has been on sale for 12 months
    小题2:How should a driver respond to the sounds from Driver Alert?
    A．By sounding a warning.B．By touching the wristband.
    C．By checking the driving time.D．By pressing the steering wheel.
    小题3:We can learn form the text that the driver needs to stop for a break when his response time is ______.
    A．about 400 millisecondsB．below 500 milliseconds
    C．over 500 millisecondsD．about 4 minutes
    小题4:     When the driver gets sleepy while driving, Driver Alert ______.
    A．moves more regularlyB．stops working properly
    C．opens the window for the driverD．sounds more frequently and loudly

    Even with little exposure to cultural standards of beauty, “infants treat attractive faces as  distinctive regardless of the sex, age a nd race of the stimulus(刺激物) faces,”  write psychologist Judith H.Langlois and her colleagues in the January DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY.
    In their experiment, 5 healthy 6-month-old infants from middle-class families viewed slides showing eight pairs of white male faces and eight pairs of white female faces. Each pair, displayed for 10 seconds, consisted of one attractive and one unattractive face, as previously judged by a group of male and female college students. An experimenter viewed the young participants on a video monitor and recorded the direction and duration of each infant’s gaze.
    The 35 boys and 25 girls looked longer at both male and female faces judged as attractive, the researchers found.
    Their second study of 6-month-old involved 15 boys and 25 girls, mostly white, who saw eight pairs of slides showing an attractive and an unattractive black female, as previously judged by both white and black college students.  Again, the babies looked much longer at attractive faces.  
    Finally, 19 boys and 20 girls, all 6 months old and almost all of them white, viewed eight pairs of slides showing the faces of 3-month-old boys and girls previously rated as attractive or unattractive by college students. Attractive baby faces drew signficantly longer looks, the psychologists report.
    Further studies must explore whether infants take attractive faces as “best examples” of a face, the investigators claim Langlois and a coworker recently reported that attractive faces may possess features that approximate the mathematical average of all faces in particular population.
    1.What was found in the first study?
    A.Male infants looked longer only at female ones.
    B.Females looked more attractive than males.
    C.Sixty 6?month?old babies looked longer at the attractive faces, male or female.
    D.White female faces drew more attention  than those of black ones.
    2.In the last paragraph, the writer implies that .      
    A.Langlois and her partners will stop their experiments they accomplished a lot
    B.Langlois and her partners will focus on the other fields of infants
    C.Langlois and her partners have achieved success in studying the infants’ mind
    D.Langlois and her partners have found a more interesting field
    3.What can be inferred from the passage?
    A.All babies, white or black, tend to share with the college students the preference for attractive faces.
    B.White babies prefer white faces to black ones.      
    C.Babies tend to get interested in the attractive faces of the opposite sex.
    D.Beauty has something to do with a person’s age, race and sex
    4.The title that best expresses the main idea is .     
    A.Psychology of Infants   B.Beauty in Variety   C.Beauty and Race   D.Beauty in Infants

    British scientists are breeding a new generation of rice plants that will be able to grow. in soil con­taining salt water. Their work may enable abandoned farms to become productive farms once more.
    Tim Flowers and Tony Yeo, from Sussex University’s School of Biological Sciences,. have spent several years researching how crops, such as rice, could be made to grow in water that has become salty. The pairs have recently begun a three-year programme, funded by the Biotechnology and Bio­logical Sciences Research Council, to establish which genes enable some plants to survive salty condi­tions. The aim is to breed this capability into crops, starting with rice.
    It is estimated that each year more than 10 million hectares (公顷) of agricultural land are lost because salt gets into the soil and stunts(防碍生长) plants. The problem is caused by several factors. In the tropics, mangroves that create swamps (沼泽) and traditionally formed barriers to sea water have been cut down. In the Mediterranean, a series of droughts have caused the water table to drop, allowing sea water to seep (渗透) in. In Latin America, irrigation often causes problems when water is evaporated by the heat, leaving, salt deposits behind.
    Excess salt then enters the plants and prevents them functioning normally. Heavy concentrations of minerals in the plants stop them drawing up the water they need to survive.
    To overcome these problems. Flowers and Yeo decided to breed rice plants that take in very little salt and store what they do absorb in cells that do not affect the plants’ growth. They have started to breed these characteristics into a new rice crop, but it will take about eight harvests before the resul­ting seeds are ready to be considered for commercial use.
    Once the characteristics for surviving salty soil are known, Flowers and Yeo will try to breed the appropriate genes into all manners of crops and plants. Land that has been abandoned to nature will then be able to bloom again, providing much needed food for the poorer countries of the world.
    4. Which of the following statements about Flowers and Yeo is true?
    A. They are students at Sussex University.  B. They are rice breeders.
    5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of the problem discussed in the passage?
    A. Natural barriers to sea water have been destroyed.
    B. The water table has gone down after droughts.
    C. Sea level has been continuously rising.
    D. Evaporation of water leaves salt behind.
    6. The word "affect" in Paragraph 5 could be best replaced by________.
    A. influence               B. effect               C. stop                    D. present
    7. The attitude of the author towards the research project is________.
    A. positive                B. negative            C. suspicious             D. indifferent

    Want to take an out-of-this-world trip? Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic plans to make that possible. Beginning in 2009, people should have the opportunity to become space tourists, traveling at about 3,000 mph to heights about 75 miles above Earth. Branson has high hopes for his latest plans. "It is just the start of what we believe will be a new age in the history of mankind—one day making the affordable exploration of space by human beings a real possibility," he said.  
    At the start, though, the trip won’t be cheap. Seats aboard Virgin’s first craft—VSS Enterprise—will cost about $200,000. Prices could drop after the first hundred space flights. Despite the current ticket cost, more than 30,000 people—including celebrities(名人) Sigourney Weaver and Victoria Principal—have expressed interest in getting onboard.  
    People who don't have an extra $200,000 still have a chance to get a seat aboard the craft. A computer game contest and a reality television show are in the works. Those who can’t afford a ticket will have an opportunity to win a seat.   
    Virgin is expected to be the first commercial spacecraft. It will hold six passengers and two pilots. Passengers will be able to see the Earth from many different viewpoints. The cabin will include 15 floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing for views that extend about 1,000 miles in any direction.
    Passengers will have three days of preflight preparation. On the big day, the spacecraft will take off from the Mojave Spaceport in the California desert. The craft will rocket passengers into space at four times the speed of sound. The journey will last about 2 1/2 hours. Passengers will wear spacesuits and helmets(头盔). They will be able to float around the cabin and do somersaults(空翻) during the five minutes of weightlessness they will experience in zero gravity. At the end of the flight, the craft will land on a runway.
    小题1:Virgin Galactic could be _____.
    A．the engineer of the first commercial spacecraft
    B．the name of a series of spacecrafts
    C．the company of the first commercial spacecraft
    D．a passenger aboard the first commercial spacecraft
    小题2:The space passengers will do all the following except that _____.
    A．they will receive a three-day training course
    B．they will wear spacesuits and helmets
    C．they will take about $200,000 with them
    D．they will experience weightlessness
    小题3:Which statement is true according to the passage?
    A．More than 30,000 people have got to travel in spacecraft.
    B．Many people signed up for space travel in spite of the high ticket cost.
    C．Those without much money could also go space travel without occupying the seats.
    D．The first commercial spacecraft will have six persons on board.
    小题4:What is the text mainly about?
    A．The exciting moment of the spacecraft’s launching.
    B．The living condition of space tourists in the craft.
    C．Preparations for a space travel.
    D．Plans for the first commercial space flight.

    Sometimes, the simplest ideas are the best. For example, to absorb heat from the sun to heat water, you need large, flat, black surfaces. One way to do that is to build those surfaces specially, on the roofs of buildings. But why go to all that trouble when cities are full of black surfaces already, in the form of asphalt (柏油) roads?
    Ten years ago, this thought came into the mind of Arian de Bondt, a Dutch engineer. He finally persuaded his boss to follow it up. The result is that their building is now heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system that relies on the surface of the road outside.
    The heat-collector is a system of connected water pipes. Most of them ran from one side of the street to the other, just under the asphalt road. Some, however, dive deep into the ground.
    When the street surface gets hot in summer, water pumped through the pipes picks up this heat and takes it underground through one of the diving pipes. At a depth of 100 metres lies a natural aquifer (蓄水层) into which several heat exchangers (交换器) have been built. The hot water from the street runs through these exchangers, warning the ground-water, before returning to the surface through another pipe. The aquifer is thus used as a heat store.
    In winter, the working system is changed slightly. Water is pumped through the heat exchangers to pick up the heat stored during summer. This water goes into the building and is used to warm the place up. After performing that task, it is pumped under the asphalt and its remaining heat keeps the road free of snow and ice.
    小题1:Which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs?  
    A．Arian de Bondt got his idea from his boss.
    B．Large, flat, black surfaces need to be built in cities.
    C．The Dutch engineer’s system has been widely used.
    D．Heat can also be collected from asphalt roads.
    小题2:For what purpose are the diving pipes used?  
    A．To absorb heat from the sun.B．To store heat for future use.
    C．To turn solar energy into heat energy.D．To carry heat down below the surface.
    小题3:From the last paragraph we can learn that __ 
    A．some pipes have to be re-arranged in winter
    B．the system can do more than warming up the building
    C．the exchangers will pick up heat from the street surface
    D．less heat may be collected in winter than in summer
    小题4:What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?  
    A．What we shall do if the system goes wrong.
    B．What we shall do if there are no asphalt roads.
    C．How the system cools the building in summer.
    D．How the system collects heat in spring and autumn
