One Monday morning, Paul and his classmates were in science laboratory for their practical chemistry lesson. The students were going to work in pairs to do an experiment. Before they began, the teacher gave them this description of the different stages of the experiment.
Stage 1: Prepare the equipment: a test tube, a crucible, a Bunsen burner and tongs.
Stage 2: Weigh 5 grams of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and put it in a crucible.
Stage 3: Heat 10 ml of hydrochloric acid (盐酸) in a test tube.
Stage 4: Pour the warm acid onto the baking soda and continue to heat the mixture.
Result: The acid reacts with the bicarbonate(碳酸氢盐)to form water, carbon dioxide gas and salt. The hotter the mixture, the quicker the reaction. Continue to heat the mixture until the water evaporates, leaving the salt in the crucible.
Paul and his partner followed the instructions and set up their equipment. Paul went to the cupboard to get a bottle of hydrochloric acid. He found that there was only one bottle in the cupboard so he took that. There was no label on the bottle and Paul didn’t check with the teacher if it was the right solution.
He measured the liquid and poured it into a test tube. Using tongs to hold the test tube, he heated it over the Bunsen burner. That’s when things started to go wrong. The liquid in the test tube was not hydrochloric acid. When it was heated, it formed a thick cloud of white gas. Soon the room was full of this strong smelling white gas.
All the students started coughing and their eyes hurt. The teacher immediately opened the windows and ordered the students to leave the laboratory at once. She realized that the liquid was a crylamide (丙烯酰胺) and that it is poisonous.
Fortunately, nobody was injured in the incident. However, it taught the students and the teacher a good lesson.
小题1:What lesson did the incident teach the students and the teacher?
A.Never have a bottle without a label in the chemistry lab!
B.Obey your teacher’s instructions in the Chemistry lab.
C.A crylamide can’t take the place of hydrochloric acid.
D.Finding something unusual happened, you have to leave the laboratory at once.
小题2:What substance were the students making in the experiment?
A.WaterB.Carbon dioxide gasC.SaltD.Poisonous gas
小题3:Why did Paul make the mistake?
A.He went to the cupboard to get the bottle by himself.
B.He found that there was only one bottle in the cupboard so he took that.
C.There was no label on the bottle.
D.Paul didn’t check with the teacher that it was the right solution.
小题4:Why did the teacher send the students out of the classroom?
A.Becausethe room was full of this strong smelling white gas.
B.Because all the students started coughing and their eyes hurt.
C.Becausethe liquid was a crylamide and that it is poisonous.
D.Because someone was injured in the incident.

小题1:A
小题2:C
小题3:D
小题4:C

试题分析:一天上午,Paul和同学们在科学实验室上化学实验课。同学们在老师的指导下分组进行实验。Paul误用了一个没有贴标签瓶子里的液体,结果出现了意外,丙烯酰胺反应后生成了有毒的气体。
小题1:根据文章可知,同学们遵守老师的指导进行实验,排除B;Paul不知道瓶子里装的是crylamide,排除C;出现紧急情况时,要看情况的严重性再作出判断,排除D。实验出错的原因是Paul用了那个没有贴标签的瓶子里面的物质,故选A。
小题2:根据“The acid reacts with the bicarbonate(碳酸氢盐)to form water, carbon dioxide gas and salt. ...leaving the salt in the crucible”可知,同学们做实验要得到的物质是盐,故选C。
小题3:根据“there was only one bottle in the cupboard so he took that. There was no label on the bottle and Paul didn’t check with the teacher if it was the right solution”可知,瓶子上没有贴标签,Paul没有和老师一起检查这个瓶子是否适合做实验用,故选D。
小题4:根据“She realized that the liquid was a crylamide (丙烯酰胺) and that it is poisonous.”可知,老师发现发生反应的是丙烯酰胺,而丙烯酰胺是有毒的,故选C。

Scientists in Israel have discovered a new way to test for water pollution by “listening” to what the plants growing in water have to say.
By shining a laser beam (激光束) on the tiny pieces of algae floating in the water,the researchers said they hear sound waves that tell them the type and amount of contamination (致污物) in the water.
“It is a red light,telling us that something is beginning to go wrong with the quality of water,” said Zvy Dubinsky,an aquatic biologist at Israel’s Bar Ilan University.“Algae is the first thing to be affected by a change in water quality.”“The secret,” he said,“is to measure the rate of photosynthesis (光合作用) in the algae,meaning the plant’s ability to transform light into energy.” During photosynthesis,plants also release oxygen into the air.
Dubinsky’s technique is easy to perform because of the over­abundance of algae in the planet’s water.Most of the oxygen in the atmosphere comes from algae.A prototype tester that occupies about one square meter of a laboratory desktop,shoots a laser beam at water samples to stimulate photosynthesis in the algae.But not all of the laser’s heat is used.Depending on the condition of the algae and the rate of photosynthesis,some of the heat is shot back into the water,creating sound waves,Dubinsky said.With a special underwater microphone,researchers are able to analyze the strength of the sound waves and determine the health of the algae and the condition of the surrounding water.
“Algae suffering from lead poisoning,like waste discharged from battery and paint manufacturing plants,will produce a different sound than those suffering from lack of iron or exposure to other toxins,” said researcher Yulia Pinchasov.She said that testing algae photosynthesis can determine water quality more accurately and easily than labor­intensive methods now used like chemical and radioactive carbon testing.
小题1:The underlined word “algae” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to a kind of________.
A.instrumentB.plant
C.woodD.pollutant
小题2:Why is the algae tested?
A.Because it floats on the water.
B.Because it can have photosynthesis.
C.Because it is the first to be polluted.
D.Because it can produce different sounds.
小题3:We can infer from the passage that________.
A.algae can produce a loud sound when polluted
B.algae can die easily from pollution
C.photosynthesis of the algae can only be caused by sunlight
D.photosynthesis of the algae is related to water quality
小题4:What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Scientists Listen to Plants to Find Water Pollution
B.A Prototype Tester Is Used to Determine Water Pollution
C.The Importance of Photosynthesis of the Algae
D.The Problem of Chemical and Radioactive Carbon Testing

(2013·高考浙江卷,C)The baby monkey is much more developed at birth than the human baby.Almost from the moment it is born,the baby monkey can move around and hold tightly to its mother.During the first few days of its life the baby will approach and hold onto almost any large,warm,and soft object in its environment,particularly if that object also gives it milk.After a week or so,however,the baby monkey begins to avoid newcomers and focuses its attentions on“mother”—the real mother or the mother­substitute(母亲替代物).
During the first two weeks of its life warmth is perhaps the most important psychological(心理的)thing that a monkey mother has to give to its baby.The Harlows,a couple who are both psychologists,discovered this fact by offering baby monkeys a choice of two types of mother­substitutes—one covered with cloth and one made of bare wire.If the two artificial mothers were both the same temperature,the little monkeys always preferred the cloth mother.However,if the wire model was heated,while the cloth model was cool,for the first two weeks after birth the baby monkeys picked the warm wire mother­substitutes as their favorites.Thereafter they switched and spent most of their time on the more comfortable cloth mother.
Why is cloth preferable to bare wire?Something that the Harlows called contact(接触)comfort seems to be the answer,and a most powerful influence it is.Baby monkeys spend much of their time rubbing against their mothers’ skins,putting themselves in as close contact with the parent as they can.Whenever the young animal is frightened,disturbed,or annoyed,it typically rushes to its mother and rubs itself against her body.Wire doesn’t “rub” as well as does soft cloth.Prolonged(长时间的)“contact comfort” with a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence and is much more rewarding to them than is either warmth or milk.
According to the Harlows,the basic quality of a baby’s love for its mother is trust.If the baby is put into an unfamiliar playroom without its mother,the baby ignores the toys no matter how interesting they might be.It screams in terror and curls up into a furry little ball.If its cloth mother is now introduced into the playroom,the baby rushes to it and holds onto it for dear life.After a few minutes of contact comfort,it obviously begins to feel more secure.It then climbs down from the mother­substitute and begins to explore the toys,but often rushes back for a deep embrace(拥抱)as if to make sure that its mother is still there and that all is well.Bit by bit its fears of the new environment are gone and it spends more and more time playing with the toys and less and less time holding onto its “mother”.
小题1:Psychologically,what does the baby monkey desire most during the first two weeks of its life?
A.Warmth.B.Milk.
C.Contact. D.Trust.
小题2:After the first two weeks of their life,baby monkeys prefer the cloth mother to the wire mother because the former is________.
A.larger in size
B.closer to them
C.less frightening and less disturbing
D.more comfortable to rub against
小题3:What does the baby monkey probably gain from prolonged“contact comfort”?
A.Attention.B.Softness.
C.Confidence.D.Interest.
小题4:It can be inferred that when the baby monkey feels secure,________.
A.it frequently rushes back for a deep embrace when exploring the toys
B.it spends more time screaming to get rewards
C.it is less attracted to the toys though they are interesting
D.it cares less about whether its mother is still around
小题5:The main purpose of the passage is to ________.
A.give the reasons for the experiment
B.present the findings of the experiment
C.introduce the method of the experiment
D.describe the process of the experiment

Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world? It is an increasingly urgent question, given the recent mining accidents in Sago, W. Va and Huntington, Utah. A small group of engineers and robotics experts look forward to a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work. 
Robotic technology, in particular, holds much promise, McAteer says, especially when it comes to mapping mines and rescuing trapped miners --- the special operations of the mining industry.
One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. It was called Groundhog. It used lasers(激光器) to “see” in dark tunnels and map abandoned mines—some of the most dangerous work in the business. 
The latest design is called Cave Crawler. It’s a bit smaller than Groundhog,and even more advanced. It can take photos and videos and has more sensors that can detect the presence of dangerous gases. Incredibly,the robot has a real sense of logic. If it comes across an obstacle it gets momentarily confused. It has to think about what to do and where to go next. Sometimes it throws a fit just like a real person. 
The greatest problem, though, is cost. The money of the earliest research project was provided by the government, but that money had dried up, and it’s not clear where future money will come from. Partly for that reason, and partly because of advances in safety, mining is not nearly as dangerous as it was in the past. Since 1990, fatalities(致命性) have declined by 67% and injuries by 51% , according to the National Mining Association.
Some experts predict that robots in mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive industry. The robots do the most boring and dangerous jobs,but won’t get rid of the need for human workers.
小题1:The latest robot is more advanced than Groundhog, mainly because ____.
A.it can map abandoned mines
B.it can see in the dark tunnels
C.it’s smaller than Groundhog
D.it has a real sense of logic
小题2:The underlined phrase “throws a fit” in paragraph 4 probably means“______”
A.gets angryB.gets sick
C.becomes hungryD.becomes cheerful
小题3:We can infer from the last paragraph that _____ .
A.robots in mines will serve much in the automotive industry
B.there will be no need for human workers in mines
C.the mine robots will have a very bright future
D.robots in mines only do some simple jobs now
小题4:We can infer from the text that ______.
A.the mining robots do most of the mining work at present
B.groundhog can discover the presence of dangerous gases
C.experts are trying to make robots help miners with dangerous work
D.robots cannot do dangerous work in dark areas
小题5:What can be the best title for the text?
A.Mining Accidents in America
B.Robots in Mines
C.Cave crawler, the Latest Robot
D.The Future of Robots

Attempts to understand the relationship between social behavior and health have their origin in history. Dubos (1969) suggested that primitive(原始的)humans were closer to the animals because they, too, relied upon their instincts to stay healthy. Yet some primitive humans recognized a cause and effect relationship between doing certain things and alleviating(减轻)symptoms of a disease or improving the condition of a wound. Since there was so much that primitive humans did not understand about the functioning of the body, magic became an integral component of the beliefs about the causes and cures of health disorders. So it is not surprising that early humans thought that illness was caused by evil spirits. Primitive medicines made from vegetables or animals were invariably used in combination with some form of ritual (礼仪) to drive harmful spirits away from a diseased body.
One of the earliest attempts in the Western world to formulate principles of health care based upon rational thought and rejection of supernatural phenomena is found in the work of the Greek physician Hippocrates. Little is known of Hippocrates who lived around 400 B.C., not even whether he actually authored the collection of books that bears his name. Nevertheless, the writings attributed to him have provided a number of principles underlying modern medical practice. One of his most famous contributions, the Hippocratic Oath, is the foundation of contemporary medical ethics (道德). Among other things, it requires a physician to swear that he or she will help the sick, keep oneself from intentional wrong-doing or harm, and keep secret all matters to keep the doctor-patient relationship.
Hippocrates also argued that medical knowledge should be derived(源自于)from an understanding of the natural sciences and the logic of cause and effect relationships. In this classic thesis, On Airs, Waters, and Places, Hippocrates pointed out that human-being is influenced by the totality of environmental factors: living habits or lifestyle, climate, geography of the land, and the quality of air and food. Interesting enough, concerns about our health and the quality of air, water, and places are still very much written in the twentieth century.
小题1:The topic of the first paragraph is summarized in ________.
A.the first sentence of the paragraph
B.the second sentence of the paragraph
C.the third sentence of the paragraph
D.the last sentence of the paragraph
小题2:Why did primitive humans rely on magic in their beliefs about the causes and cures of diseases?
A.Because magic was an inseparable part of their life.
B.Because they had little knowledge about the functioning of the body.
C.Because the diseases were caused by the evil spirits.
D.Because magic must be used in going through the rituals to drive out the evil spirits.
小题3:Considering Hippocrates’ background, we can see from the second paragraph that ________.
A.he was the forefather of modern medicine
B.experts are sure that the books bearing his name were not written by him
C.he had a rational mind aided by supernatural instincts
D.experts do not know much about him except when and where he lived
小题4:All of the following are included in the Hippocratic Oath EXCEPT ________.
A.helping patients
B.keeping oneself from harming patients
C.keeping secret all matters to maintain a good relationship with the patients
D.obeying rules for modern medicine practice
小题5:Which of the following best expressed the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.Doctor’s concerns remain unchanged.
B.Medicine comes from nature.
C.Environment affects health.
D.Climate determines lifestyle.

Air pollution is one of the hottest topics at present because poor air quality is an important factor in both the incidence and cause of respiratory(呼吸道) diseases.
Zhong Nanshan, a deputy to the NPC and a member of the CAE, said recently when the concentration of PM2.5 rises by 10 micrograms per cubic meter, hospitalization may rise by as much as 3.1 percent. Meanwhile, when the concentration of PM2.5 rises from 25 mgs per cubic meter to 200, the average daily death rate may rise to 11 percent.
Zhi Xiuyi, a leading expert in lung cancer treatment and also vice-president of the CATS, said medical authorities used to focus on tobacco control as a primary means of preventing lung cancer. "But in fact, air pollution is no less harmful than smoking and our research team released a report earlier this year showing that the cancer rate in Beijing is closely related to industrialization," he said.
The report, conducted by the Beijing Institute of Cancer Research, shows that the number of cancer patients in China has increased markedly during the past ten years. Chaoyang District, the city's main area of industrialization, has the highest incidence of cancer, almost double that of Yanqing, an area on the outskirts of the city. About four out of 1000 Chaoyang residents have some form of the disease, with lung cancer at the top of the list.
"The risk of having cancer largely depends on the length of exposure and the concentration of noxious gases(有毒气体的浓度)," said Zhi. In response to the doubt whether seven years' exposure to poor air quality will almost result in cancer, Zhi said the time scale was taken from research overseas that suggested the rate of incidence generally peaked in the seventh year of exposure to a heavily polluted environment.
小题1: What is the passage mainly about?
A.Medical researches on environment.
B.The disadvantages in big cities.
C.The only reason for the lung cancer.
D.Poor air quality contributing to lung cancer.
小题2:What can you conclude from the 3rd paragraph?
A.Compared with smoking, air pollution is more harmful.
B.Air pollution is as harmful as smoking.
C.It is very important to prevent people from smoking.
D.People realize the importance of keeping healthy.
小题3:If there were 3,000,000 people in Chaoyang District, how many would have respiratory diseases?
A.16000B.12000C.8000D.7500
小题4:What can you infer from the passage?
A.Industrialization has its weakness as well as strengths.
B.The average death rate rises with different ages and places.
C.The air in Beijing is much more polluted than that in the other cities.
D.The more heavily-polluted air you breathe in, the sooner you’ll have cancer.

Sooner or later, most students are to take some form of English examinations. Often the more successful students are better prepared. However, sometimes students who do well have better test taking skills. These abilities really have nothing to do with understanding English better. They are skills that make taking the test easier, and therefore provide better results.
Here are some very important—and often ignored—guidelines to taking a test successfully.
Do not insist on completing each question before going to the next. This is extremely important. Remember one question may only be worth one point! You will become nervous when you fail to find out its answer, making you lose your concentration and leading to worse results. However, answering the questions you are sure you know results in your being more relaxed and feeling more confident.
Go through the test a second time working out the answers to more difficult questions. Sometimes questions asked are answered in later questions asking for different things.
Usually(but not always) a strong first impulse(冲动) means we know the answer and we don’t really have to think about it too much. Going back to think about it usually makes you unsure and often causes a mistake. This is very common, so be very careful!
If you don’t know the answer, write something. If you are answering a 4 possibility multiple choice question you will still have a 25% chance of being correct!
Taking a test is as much for you as is for your teacher, so never cheat. If you cheat, you don’t help yourself in the long run.
小题1:In the first paragraph, the writer stresses the importance of ______.
A.better preparations for exams.
B.better understanding of English.
C.better skills at taking exams.
D.better results of taking exams.
小题2:When taking an exam, you are advised ______.
A.to first answer the questions which are easier to you.
B.to depend on your first impulse to answer the questions.
C.to search the test paper for all the answers to the questions.
D.to give up the questions whose answers you don’t know.
小题3:It is common that many students______.
A.pay much attention to their testing skills.
B.often give up a difficult test halfway.
C.often get higher results by cheating.
D.don’t believe in their first impulse.
小题4:What would be the best title of the passage?
A.Effective Studying Methods.B.Effective Test Taking Skills.
C.Getting Better Exam Results.D.Being Successful Students.

October 15th is the Global Handwashing Day. Activities are planned in more than 20 countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap. For example, donors(捐赠者) will give 150,000 bars of soap to schools in Ethiopia.
Experts say people around the world wash their hands every day, but very few use soap at so-called important moments. These include after using the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food.
Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing with Soap. Partners include the United Nations Children’s Fund, American government agencies, the World Bank and soap makers Unlever and Procter and Gamble. The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germ(细菌). They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub(揉搓) it into all areas, including under the fingernails(指甲). Rub for at least twenty seconds. Then rinse well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth or wave them in the air.
The Partnership for Handwashing says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend in washing hands. Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell. The Partnership for Handwashing also says washing with soap before eating or after using the toilet could save more lives than any vaccine(疫苗)or medicine. Hand washing could also prevent the spread of other diseases. When people get germs on their hands, they can infect(感染)themselves by touching their eyes, noses or mouths. Then they can infect others.
小题1:What’s the best title for this passage?
A.Say no to washing hands in the wrong way.
B.Find out why washing hands carefully is so important.
C.Hand washing: so important----it gets a day of its own.
D.Want to live a longer life?-wash your hands.
小题2:The word “rinse” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.
A.to dry your handsB.to wash away the soap
C.to rub your hands carefullyD.to clean your fingers
小题3:The last paragraph mainly tells us ______.
A.how to wash your hands correctly
B.why washing hand with soap is so important
C.the dangers of washing hands without soap
D.when we should especially wash our hands with soap
小题4:In which part of newspaper would you most probably read this passage?
A.Medical care B.Public service C.Health reportD.Advertisement

For example, someone might say, “I just  a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and  it in for one hundred dollars!”
This guy is a winner,   ? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred  , and only one was a winner. He’s really a big  !
He didn’t say anything that was  , but he deliberately left out some important  . That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically  , but they are just as not  .
