Richard Rice, a fast-talking man paced up and down in front of freshmen debate class, 36

us about his high expectations. We were special, he declared on our first day at Oak Park High School. But there would be no 37 to success. Only those who worked hard would shine.

Suddenly Mr. Rice 38 in mid-sentence and stared at me. “You know,” he said, “You’re black!” Somehow, I knew he 39 trying to hurt me.

Mr. Rice was no 40 teacher. I entered high school not 41 quite sure what debate was. I left his class four years later as an outstanding debater. Even today, I’m not sure what 42 such a great teacher of him. He always said 43 he was thinking. And he was 44 . He’d 45 out of the classroom angrily if he thought a student was giving 46 his effort. The worst thing with us was to be taken no notice of. 47 , being torn apart by Mr. Rice in the middle of a practice debate meant you were one of his favourites.

He wasn’t always 48 on us. I’ll never forget the Nations Student Debate, at which my calm delivery and my firm grasp of the problems disappeared. The only face I could 49 in the audience was Mr. Rice’s face. I could 50 I was doing terribly just by looking at him. After it was over, he came 51 to me. “Not my best 52 ,” I said. He shook his head, “No,” Then, to my 53 , he gave me a hug.

Mr. Rice’s style didn’t make him a great teacher for everyone. Many kids 54 out of the debate class after the first year. But for me four years with him was my unforgettable 55 of a lifetime.

A

People born in the autumn live longer than those born in the spring. They are less likely to fall chronic（长期的）ill when they are older, according to an Austrian scientist. Using census (人口普查) data for more than one million people in Austria, Denmark and Australia, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in the northern German town of Rostock found the month of birth was related to life expectancy（估计寿命）over the age of 50．Seasonal differences in what mothers ate during pregnancy, and infections occurring at different times of the year could both have an impact on the health of a new-born baby and could influence its life expectancy in older age. “A mother giving birth in spring spends the last phase of her pregnancy in winter, when she will eat less vitamins than in summer,” said Gabriele Doblhammer, one of a team of scientists who carried out the research. “When she stops breastfeeding and starts giving her baby normal food, it’s in the hot weeks of summer when babies are prone（轻易的）to infections of the digestive system.” In Austria, adults born in autumn lives about seven months longer than those born in spring, and in Denmark adults with birthdays in autumn outlived those born in spring by about four months. In the southern hemisphere, the picture was similar. Adults born in the Australian autumn lived about four months longer than those born in the Australian spring. The study focused on people born at the beginning of the 20th century, using death certificates and census data.

56．Which of the following is true?

A．Austria and Denmark are both in the northern hemisphere.

B．People born in autumn live longer than those born in summer.

C．Both Austria adults and Australian adults with birthdays in autumn live about four months

longer than those born in spring.

D．The study is carried out mainly among people born at the end of the 20th century.

57．Which is not the factor that causes the life expectancy differences between people born in different seasons?

A．What mother eat during pregnancy

B．Infections occurring at different times of the year.

C．The number of vitamins mothers eat during pregnancy.

D．Weather impact, such as temperature

58．What might be the best title for the passage?

A．Mothers and new-born baby B．Life expectancy

C．Seasonal difference and life expectancy D．An important research

B

How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments－mostly for entertainment purposes－is fair and respectful?

Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.

Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’ natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species’ name, diet, and natural range. The animals’ normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs.

The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.

Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered．Captive breeding(圈养繁殖) of endangered big cats. Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild．Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?

Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.

59. What does the underlined word zoochosis mean?

A．remain in cages B．behave strangely

C．attack other animals D．enjoy moving around

60．What does the author try to argue in the passage?

A．Zoos are not worth the public support. B．Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.

C．Zoos should treat animals as human beings. D．Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.

61．The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _________.

A．pointing out the faults in what zoos do B．using evidence he has collected at zoos

C．questioning the way animals are protected D．discussing the advantages of natural habitats

C

Professor Smith recently persuaded 35 people, 23 of them women, to keep a diary of all their absent-minded actions for a fortnight. When he came to analyse their embarrassing lapses ( 差错) in a scientific report, he was surprised to find that nearly all of them fell into a few groupings. Nor did the lapses appear to be entirely random .
One of the women, for instance, on leaving her house for work one morning threw her dog her earrings and tried to fix a dog biscuit on her ear. “the explanation for this is that the brain is like a computer,” explains the professor. "People programme themselves to do certain activities regularly. It was the woman's custom every morning to throw her dog two biscuits and then put on her earrings. But somehow the action got reversed in the programme," About one in twenty of the incidents the volunteers reported were these "programme assembly failures,"

Altogether the volunteers logged 433 unintentional actions that they found themselves doing -- an average of twelve each, There appear to be peak periods in the day when we are at our zaniest (荒谬可笑的). These are two hours some time between eight a.m. and noon, between four and six p.m. with a smaller peak between eight and ten p.m. "Among men the peak seems to be when a changeover in brain 'programmes' occurs, as for instance between going to and from work." Women on average reported slightly more lapses -- 12.5 compared with 10.9 for men m probably because they were more reliable reporters.

A surprising finding of the research is that the absent-minded activity is a hazard of doing things in which we are skilled. Normally, you would expect that skill reduces the number of errors we make. But trying to avoid silly slips by concentrating more could make things a lot worse or even dangerous.

62. In his study Professor Smith asked the subjects_______________.
A. to keep track of people who tend to forget things
B. to report their embarrassing lapses at random
C. to analyse their awkward experiences scientifically
D. to keep a record of what they did unintentionally

63. We learn from the third paragraph that_______________.
A. absent-mindedness tends to occur during certain hours of the day
B. women are very careful to perform actions during peak periods
C. women experience more peak periods of absent-mindedness
D. men's absent-mindedness often results in funny situations

64. It can be concluded from the passage that______________.
A. people should avoid doing important things during peak periods of lapses
B. hazards can be avoided when people do things they are good at
C. people should be careful when programming their actions
D. lapses cannot always contributed to lack of concentration

D

More and more TV shows, movies and sporting events are being broadcast in High Definition (HD) -including “Good Morning America.” If you want to join the millions who are already experiencing a superior picture, you’ll need a High Definition TV (HDTV). But even if you’re ready to retire your old TV-or move it into the back bedroom where no one will ever see it-you’re bound to have lots of questions before you make an investment in a new drool-worthy HDTV.

You might be wondering about hardware, cost and how to actually receive High Definition programming on your set. “GMA” technology contributor Becky Worley offers this instruction to understanding the complicated world of HD.

What is HDTV ①？

High definition TV is a richer transmission of television signals that makes for a more vivid viewing experience. HDTV is to standard TV what FM radio is to AM radio. HDTV is crisp, clear and noise-free, with resolution that is at least twice that of analog (模拟信号)television and CD-quality sound.

How Do I Get HDTV ②?

HDTV signals are broadcast via antennas (天线)in urban areas, and via satellite TV or cable TV.

To receive an over-the air HDTV signal, you must live within a certain radius（半径）of an HDTV broadcast antenna and have the proper HDTV tuner (调谐器) or antenna installed in your home.

To receive a Cable or Satellite HDTV signal, you must have a proprietary (专利的)HDTV set-top box supplied by your provider.

Not all programming is available in HDTV yet, but many network shows and sporting events are currently in HD and many more are converting over.

When you watch a DVD on your HDTV, it is not technically HDTV quality, but it will look crisper on your HDTV than on a regular TV.

HDTV, HD-Ready TV, and EDTV

There are three major terms that will describe the high-end TV sets that are on sale today :HDTV ③ are TV sets that can receive and process over-the-air HD signals. You may need an antenna to receive the HD signal, but an HD tuner is built into the set and can process the signal without any other equipment. If you want to receive an HD signal from your cable or satellite provider, you will need one of the provider’s proprietary set-top boxes.

HD-Ready TV are TV sets that need an additional piece of hardware to actually receive the HD signal, such as a stand-alone HD tuner (from $250 and up) or the set-top HDTV box provided by your cable or satellite TV company.

EDTV stands for Enhanced Digital Television. The visual quality of an EDTV is better than a standard analog TV, but is not as crisp or bright as a true HDTV.

65．Which of the following best describe the features of HDTV?

A．It offers programs with clearer pictures and sound of better quality.

B．It offers more interesting and entertaining programs.

C．It offers more TV channels and choices of programs.

D．It offers program for high technology

66．“HDTV is to standard TV what FM radio is to AM radio.” in this passage is .

A．an example to show HDTV is different from common TV.

B．an example to show the similarity between HDTV and FM radio.

C．a comparison to show HDTV is more advanced than common TV.

D．a comparison to show HDTV is better than FM radio.

67．As for the meaning of “HDTV” in different places (①②③) of this article, which of the following statement is TRUE?

A．①and ③carry the same meaning while ②carries different meaning.

B．①and ②carry the same meaning while ③carries different meaning.

C．②and ③carry the same meaning while ①carries different meaning.

D．①, ②and ③all carry the same meaning.

Since the beginning of time, man has been interested in the moon. The Romans designed a special day to show admiration and respect to the moon. They called it Moonday, or Monday, as we know it today. Later, the great mind of Leonardo da Vinci studied the moon and designed a machine to carry a human to the moon. Leonardo said that one day a great machine bird would take a person to the moon and bring great honor to the home where it was born.

Four and a half centuries later, Leonardo’s idea was realized. Apollo II took three Americans Collins, Aldrin and Armstrong to the moon. The mission did fill the whole world with great surprise, as Leonardo had said it would. Many essays, articles and books were written about man’s first moon mission. But perhaps the most interesting story was one written before the event over 100 years before.

In 1865, French author Jules Verne wrote a story about the first journey to the moon. His story was very similar to the 1969 Apollo II mission. Verne’s spacecraft also contained three man — two Americans and a Frenchman. The spacecraft was described as being almost the same size as Apollo II. The launch site in Verne’s story was also in Florida. The spacecraft in Verne’s story was named the Columbiad. The Apollo II command ship was called Columbia. His account of sending the spacecraft into the space could easily have been written about how Apollo II was sent into the space.

Verne’s story was the same as the actual event in several other respects. The speed of Verne’s spacecraft was 36,000 feet per second; Apollo’s was 35,533 feet per second. Verne’s spacecraft took 97 hours to reach the moon; Apollo’s time was 103 hours. Like Apollo’s spacemen, Verne’s spacemen took pictures of the moon’s surface, relaxed on their seats, cooked with gas, and experienced weightlessness. They too came down in the Pacific and were picked up by an American warship.

What were the reasons for Jules Verne’s extreme accuracy in describing an event 100 years or more before it actually occurred? He based his writings on the laws of physics and astronomy. 19th-century science and the bright Verne’s imagination gave people an unbelievably accurate preview of one of the greatest events of the 20th century.

68. Leonardo da Vinci said that a great machine bird would ______.

A. bring great honor to the moon B. fly toward the sun

C. explore the heavens D. take people to the moon

69. Verne’s story is very similar to ______.

A. the first U. S. space mission B. the Apollo II mission

C. Leonardo da Vinci’s story D. numerous other books on the same subject

70. The passage mainly describes ______.

A. the rapid progress of mankind B. Verne’s accurate preview of the future

C. the 1969 Apollo II moon mission D. the 19th-century science and technology

A smart card is a card that is carried with either a microprocessor and a memory chip or only a memory chip that is not programmable. The microprocessor card can add. delete, and deal with the information on the card, while a memory-chip card can only do one thing.

Smart cards, unlike magnetic stripe cards, can do many different things and hold a lot of information. In this way, they do not need to get information from a faraway place when they are used.

Today, there are several kinds of smart cards, all of which are very popular in the market:

IC (Integrated Circuit) Microprocessor Cards Microprocessor Cards (chip cards) offer a larger memory and better security than the traditional magnetic stripe cards do. Chip cards can also hold data. These cards are used for many things. Thus, chips have been the main platform for cards that hold a secure digital identity. Some examples of these cards are:

Cards that hold money.

Cards that provide safe access to a network.

Cards that allow setting stop boxes on televisions to remain safe from privacy.

Optical Memory Cards Optical memory cards look like cards with a piece of CD on the top. Optical memory cards can store up to 4MB of data. But once written, the data can not be changed or removed. Thus, this type of card is good for keeping records, such as medical files, driving records or travel histories. Today, these have no processors in them (although this is coming in the near future). While the cards are almost as cheap as chip cards, the card readers are expensive.
