One key to understanding how and by something happened is to discover when it happened.(*_*) Radiocarbon dating was developed in the late 1940s by physicist Willard F. Libby at he University of Chicago. An atom of ordinary carbon，called carbon-12，has six protons(中子)and six neutrons(质子)in its nucleus. Carbon-14，or C-14，is a radioactive，unstable form of carbon that has two extra neutrons(原子核)。 It returns to a more stable form of carbon through a process called decay(衰减)。 This process involves the loss of he extra neutrons and energy from the nucleus.(*_*) In Libby's radiocarbon dating technique，the weak radioactive emissions(放射)from his decay process are counted by instruments such as a radiation detector and counter. he decay rate is used to determine the proportion of C-14 atoms in the sample being dated.(*_*) Carbon-14 is produced in the Earth's atmosphere when nitrogen(氮)-14，or N-14，interacts with cosmic rays(宇宙射线)。 Scientists believe since the Earth was formed，the mount of nitrogen in the atmosphere has remained constant. Consequently，C-14 formation is thought to occur at a constant rate. Now the ratio of C-14 to other carbon toms in the atmosphere is known. Most scientists agree that this ratio is useful for dating items back to at least 50，000 years.(*_*) All life on Earth is made of organic molecules(分子)that contain carbon atoms coming from the atmosphere. So all living things have about the same ratio of C-14 atoms to other carbon atoms in their tissues(组织)。 Once an organism(有机体)dies it tops taking in carbon in any form，and the C-14 already present begins to decay. Over time the amount of C-14 in the material decreases，and the ratio of C-14 to other carbon toms goes down. In terms of radiocarbon dating，the fewer C-14 atomse，the older in a sampl that sample is. 16 Nowadays many scientists depend on radiocarbon for dating age-old objects A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned(*_*) 17 The radiocarbon dating technique is only about 40 years old A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned(*_*) 18 An atom of ordinary carbon has six protons and eight neutrons A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned(*_*) 19 Radar is used to determine the characteristics of radiocarbon A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned(*_*) 20 Radiocarbon is reliable in dating an object back to at least 50，000 years. A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned(*_*) 21 The C-14 in an organism begins to decay when it dies A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned(*_*) 22 The half-life of C-14 is about 25，000 years. A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned(*_*) 第3部分:概括大意与完成句子(第23,30题，每题1分，共8分)(*_*) 下面的短文后有2项测试任务:(1)第23,26题要求从所给的6个选项中为第1,4段每段1选择个最佳标题;(2)第27,30题要求从所给的6个选项中为每个句子确定1个最佳选项。(*_*)Chimpanzees(*_*) 1 Chimpanzees(黑猩猩)will soon be extinct(灭绝)。 If the present rate of hunting and habitat(栖息地)destruction continues，then within 20 years，there will be no chimpanzees living in the wild. But this is more than an environmental or moral tragedy(悲剧)。 Chimpanzee extinction may also have profound implications(含意)for the survival of their distant relatives - human beings.(*_*) 2 In 1975 the biologist Marie-Claire King and Allan Wilson discovered that the human and chimpanzee genomes(基因组)match by over 98%. Compare this to the mouse，used as model for human disease in lab tests，which shares only 60% of its DNA with us. In fact，chimpanzees are far more similar to humans than they are to any other species of monkey. As well as resembling us genetically，chimps are highly intelligent and able to use tools. These facts alone should be enough to make protection of chimps an urgent priority(优先)。 But there is another，more selfish reason to preserve the chimp.(*_*) 3 The chimpanzees' trump card(王牌)comes in the field of medical research. Chimpanzee‎‎ar to humans are so simils that veterinarians(兽医)often refer to human medical textbooks when treating them. Yet chimpanzees do show differences in several key areas. In particular，chimps are much more resistant to a number of major diseases. It is this ability that is so interesting.(*_*) 4 For example，chimps seem to show a much higher resistance than humans to HIV，the virus that causes AIDS. Indeed，their use as experimental animals in AIDS research has declined because they are so resistant.(*_*) 5 By sequencing the chimp genome and pinpointing(找到)the place where the chimpanzee DNA sequence differs from that of humans，scientists hope to be able to discover which part of the genet‎‎ic code gives chimps their increased resistance to some diseases. This，they hope，will allow them to develop new and more effective treatments for the human forms of these diseases. Such treatments could include the production of new drugs or even the alter(改变)ationof the human‎‎ genetic sequence. The recently completed human genome sequencing project has shown that such an effort is now well within our reach.(*_*) 23 Paragraph 1 24 Paragraph 2 25 Paragraph 3 26 Paragraph 4(*_*) A Reasons for HIV resistance B Implications of chimpanzee extinction for humans C Effective AIDS treatment D Genetic similarities between chimps and humans E Chimps' resistance to HIV F Genetic differences between chimps and humans(*_*) 27 Chimpanzee extinction may affect(*_*) (*_*)(*_*) (*_*)(*_*) 28 There is a difference of less than 2% between the chimp and(*_*) 29 Scientists suspect that genes.PlaY a significant role in protecting chimps from getting(*_*) 30 The discovery of the genetic code of chimps will be helpful to(*_*) A some human disease treatments B some diseases C human survival D human genomes E key areas F healthier lifestyle(*_*) 第4部分:阅读理解(第31,45题，每题3分，共45分)(*_*) 下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题确定1个最佳选项。(*_*) 第一篇 Water(*_*) The second most important constituent(构成成份)of the biosphere(生物圈)is liquid water. This can only exist in a very narrow range of temperatures，since water freezes at 0? and boils at 100?。 Life as we know it wouldble only be possion the surface of a planet which had temperatures somewhere within this narrow range.(*_*) The earth's supply of water probably remains fairly constant in quantity. The total quantity of water is not known very accurately，but it is about enough to cover the surface of the globe to a depth of about two and three-quarter kilometers. Most of it is in the form of the salt water of the oceans - about 97 per cent. The rest is fresh，but three-quarters of this is in the form of ice at the Poles and on mountains，and cannot be used by living systems until melted. Of the remaining fractional which is somewhat less than one per cent of the whole，there is 10-20 times as much stored underground water as there is actually on the surface. There is also a tiny，but extremely important fract supplion of the watery which is present as water vapor in the atmosphere.(*_*) Water vapor in the atmosphere is the channel through which the whole water circulation(循环)of the biosphere has to pass. Water evapo(蒸发)ratedfrom the surfa‎‎ce of the oceans，from lakes and rivers and from moist(潮湿的)earth is added to it. From it the water comes out again as rain or snow，falling on either the sea or the land. There is，as might be expected，a more intensive evaporation per unit area over the sea and oceans than over the land，but there is more rainfall over the land than over the oceans，and the balance is restored by the runoff from the land in the form of rivers.(*_*) 31 Liquid water only exists A in the center of the earth. B on the surface of our planet. C in a very narrow range of temperatures. D in the coastal areas of the earth.(*_*) 32 The total quantity of water on Earth A remains almost unchanged. B has greatly increased in recent years. C is decreasing constantly. D is affected by global warming.(*_*) 33 Most of the fresh water on Earth A is stored underground. B is in the form of ice at the Poles and on mountains. C is found in rivers and lakes. D comes from the rain.(*_*) 34 The word “fraction” in the second paragraph means A a very small amount. B a large area. C an important system. D a major source of information(*_*) 35 There is more of rainfall A over the mountains than over the rivers. B over the rivers than over the mountains C over the oceans than over the land. D over the land than over the oceans.(*_*) 第二篇 Mind-reading Machine(*_*) A team of researchers in California has developed a way to predict what kinds of objects people are looking at by scanning(扫描)what's happening in their brains.(*_*) When you look at something，your eyes send a signal about that object to your brain. Different regions of the brain process the information your eyes send. Cells in your brain called neurons(神经元)are responsible for this processing.(*_*) The fMRI(functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging)(功能性磁振造影)brain scans could generally match electrical activity in the brain to the basic shape of a picture that someone was looking at.(*_*) Like cells anywhere else in your body，active neurons use oxygen. Blood brings oxygen to the neurons，and the more active a neuron is，the more oxygen it will consume. The more active a region of the brain，the more active its neurons，and in turn，the more blood will travel to that region. And by using fMRI，scientists can visualize(使…显现)which parts of the brain receive more oxygen-rich blood - and therefore，which parts are working to process information.(*_*) An fMRI machine is a device that scans the brain and measures changes in blood flow to the brain. The technology shows researchers how brain activity changes when a person thinks，looks at something，or carries out an activity like speaking or reading. By highlighting the areas of the brain at work when a person looks at different images，fMRI may help scientists determine specific patterns of brain activity associated with different kinds of images.(*_*) The California researchers tested brain activity by having two volunteers view hundreds of pictures of everyday objects，like people，animals，and fruits. The scientists used an fMRI machine to record the volunteers' brain activity with each photograph they looked at. Different objects caused different regions of the volunteers' brains to light up on the scan，indicating activity. The scien‎‎matiotists‎‎ used this inforn to build a model to predict how the brain might respond to any image the eyes see.(*_*) In a second test，the scientists asked the volunteers to look at 120 new pictures. Like before，their brains were scanned every time they looked at a new image. This time，the scientists used their model to match the fMRI scans to the image. For example，if a scan in the second test showed the same pattern of brain activity that was strongly related to pictures of apples in the first test，their model would have predicted the volunteers were looking at apples.(*_*) 36 What is responsible for processing the information sent by your eyes, A The magnetic system in the brain. B The central part of the heart. C Oxygen-rich blood. D Neurons in the brain.(*_*) 37 The function of an fMRI machine is A to show how neutrons take in oxygen-rich blood. B to measure how dense the blood is in the brain. C to record how much oxygen the brain consumes. D to identify which parts of the brain are processing information(*_*) 38 The expression “highlighting the areas of the brain at work' in paragraph 5 means A giving light to the parts of the brain that are processing information. B marking the parts of the brain that are processing information. C putting the parts of the brain to work. D preventing the parts of the brain from working.(*_*) 39 The researchers experimented on A animals and objects. B fMRI machines. C two volunteers. D thousands of pictures.(*_*) 40 Which of the following can best replace the title of the passage, A Recent Development in Science and Technology. B Your Thoughts Can Be Scanned. C A Technological Dream. D An Intelligent Robot.(*_*) 第三篇 Youth Emancipation in Spain(*_*) The Spanish Government is so worried about the number of young adults still living with their parents that it has decided to help them leave the nest.(*_*) Around 55 percent of people aged 18-34 in Spain still sleep in their parents' homes，says the latest report from the country's state-run Institute of Youth.(*_*) To coax(劝诱)young people from their homes，the Institute started a “Youth Emancipation(解放)“ program this month. The program offers guidance in finding rooms and jobs.(*_*) Economists blame young people's family dependence on the precarious(不稳定的)labor market and increasing housing prices. Housing prices have risen 17 percent a year since 2000.(*_*) Cultural reasons also contribute to the problem，say sociologists(社会学家)。 Family ties in south Europe - Italy，Portugal and Greece - are stronger than those in middle and north Europe，said Spanish sociologist Almudena Moreno Minguez in her report “The Late Emancipation of Spanish Youth: Key for Understanding”。(*_*) “In general，young people in Spain firmly believe in the family as the main body around which their private life is organized，” said Minguez.(*_*) In Spain - especially in the countryside，it is not uncommon to find entire groups of aunts，uncles，cousins，nieces and nephews(外侄/侄子)all living on the same street. They regularly get together for Sunday dinner.(*_*) Parents' tolerance is another factor. Spanish parents accept late-night partying and are wary of setting bedtime rules.(*_*) “A child can arrive home at whatever time he wants. If parents complain he'll put up a fight and call the father a fascist，” said Jose Antonio G6mez Yanez，a sociologist at Carlos III University in Madrid.(*_*) Mothers' willingness to do children's household chores(家务)worsens the problem. Dionisio Masso，a 60-year-old in Madrid，has three children in their 20s. The eldest，28，has a girlfriend and a job. But life with mum is good.(*_*) “His mum does the wash and cooks for him; in the end，he lives well，” Masso said.(*_*) 41 The “Youth Emancipation” program aims at helping young people A fight for freedom. B live in an independent way. C fight against social injustice. D get rid of family responsibilities.(*_*) 42 It can be inferred from paragraph 5 that family ties are stronger in Portugal than in A Finland. B Greece. C Spain. D Italy.(*_*) 43 Young people's family dependence can be attributed to all the following factors EXCEPT A parents' tolerance. B housing problems. C cultural traditions. D unwillingness to get married.(*_*) 44 Which of the following (*_*)(*_*) (*_*)(*_*) statements is NOT true of Dionisio Masso, A She is 60 years old. B She has a boyfriend. C She has three children. D She lives in Madrid.(*_*) 45 The phrase “wary of” in paragraph 8 could be best replaced by A tired of. B afraid of. C cautious about. D worried about.(*_*) 第5部分:补全短文(第46,50题，每题2分，共10分)(*_*) 下面的短文有5处空白，短文后有6个句子，其中5个取自短文，请根据短文内容将其分别放回原有位置，以恢复文章原貌。(*_*)Reduce Packaging(*_*) Pressure increased recently on British supermarkets and retailers to reduce packaging as part of an anti-waste campaign.(46) Britain generates 4.6 million tons of household waste every year by packaging.(*_*) Dozens of people have expressed anger at the excess of plastic wrapping.(*_*) Campaigners have called on Britain to learn from other European countries.(47) When returned bottles are put in a vending machine(自动售货机)，the deposit is refunded. Environmentalists warn that Britain lags behind in this.(*_*) There were reports of growing unease among consumers over the amount of packaging they have to deal with. Trade standards officers also object to excessive packaging.(48) In response to a campaign by Britain's The Independent newspaper，leading supermarkets have pointed to various initiatives to win the public confidence.(49) But campaigners said retailers and the government could learn much from anti-waste practices on the Continent. In Sweden，non-recyclable batteries have been(*_*) taxed since 1991 to encourage a switcnativ‎‎es.h to alter(50) In Germany，plastic bags are unheard of in supermarkets and deposits are paid for reusable plastic and glass beverage bottles.(*_*) A In Belgium，when you buy something in a plastic or glass container，you make a deposit. B This is because too much padding can give buyers a false impression of what they are buying. C This has resulted in a 74 percent reduction in sales. D Tesco said it was saving 112，000 tons of cardboard a year by switching to reusable plastic crates(装货箱)for transporting its fresh produce. E The campaign was initiated by The Independent newspaper. F If a product is over-packaged，don't buy it.(*_*) 第6部分:完形填空(第51,55题，每题1分，共15分)(*_*) 下面的短文有15处空白，请根据短文内容为每处空白确定一个最佳选项。(*_*)Taking a Nap during the Day(*_*) Medical experts say most Americans do not get enough sleep. They say more Americans need to(51)for a short period in the middle of the day. They are advising people to sleep lightly(52) continuing with other activities.(*_*) One study earlier this year found that persons who sleep for a few minutes during the day were less likely to die of(53) disease. The study followed more than 2，300 Greek adults(54) about six years. Adults who rested for half an hour at least three times a week had a 37 percent lower(55) of dying from heart disease than those who did not nap.(*_*) Study organizers said the strongest(56) was in working men. They said naps might improve health by mitigating(减低)tension(57) by work.(*_*) Some European and Latin American businesses have supported the idea of(58) for many years. They urge(催促)people to(59) work，go home and have a nap before returning. In the United States，some companies let workers rest briefly in their offices. They believe this reduces mistakes and accidents，and also(60)the amount of work a person can do.(*_*) Sleep experts say it is likely that people(61)more mistakes at work than at other times. They say people should not carry out important duties(62)they feel sleepy. And they say the best thing to do is to take a nap.(*_*) About twenty minutes of rest is all you(63)。 Experts say this provides extra energy and can increase your(64)until the end of the day. But experts(65)that a nap should last no more than twenty to thirty minutes. A longer nap will put the body into deep sleep and waking up will be difficult. 51 A work B wait C live D rest 52 A between B before C besides D during 53 A heart B brain C mind D liver 54 A on B at C for D with 55 A risk B end C order D part 56 A view B argument C protest D evidence 57 A reduced B broken C caused D sensed 58 A napping B walking C working D learning 59 A repeat B improve C change D leave 60 A increases B corrects C repeats D realizes 61 A take B make C do D bring 62 A because B when C although D since 63 A forget B hope C need D admire 64 A position B pressure C demand D effectiveness 65 A warn B see C doubt D promise(*_*) 【参考答案】(*_*) 1 B 2 C 3 D 4 B 5 A 6 A 7 B 8 C 9 D 10 C 11 A 12 B 13 C 14 A 15 C 16 A 17 B 18 B 19 C 20 A 21 A 22 C 23 B 24 D 25 F 26 E 27 C 28 D 29 B 30 A 31 C 32 A 33 B 34 A 35 D 36 D 37 D 38 B 39 C 40 B 41 B 42 A 43 D 44 B 45 C 46 E 47 A 48 B 49 D 50 C 51 D 52 B 53 A 54 C 55 A 56 D 57 C 58 A 59 D 60 A 61 B 62 B 63 C 64 D 65 A 2011年全国职称英语等级考试真题及答案理工类(B级)(*_*)*_*) 第1部分:词汇选项(第1-15题，每题1分，共15分)(*_*) 下面每个句子中均有1个词或短语划有底横线，请为每处划线部分确定1个意义最为接近的选项。(*_*) 1 Marsha confessed that she know nothing of computer.A hoped B answered C admitted D reported (*_*) 2 We need to extra the relevctant financial data.

Around the world, people are starting to measure the effects of global warming - and trying to figure out what to do about it.(*_*) Scientists recently used satellites to study the temperatures of lakes around the world, and they found that lakes are heating up.Between 1985 and 2009, satellites recordedthe nighttime temperatures of the surfaces of 167 lakes. During those 24 years, (*_*)(*_*) (*_*)(*_*) the lakes got warmer - by an average of about 0.045 degree Celsius per year.(*_*) In some places, lakes have been warming by as much as 0.10 degree Celsius per year. At that rate, a lake may warm by a full degree Celsius, or 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit, in just 10 years. That difference may seem small - you might not even notice it in your bathtub. But in a lake, slightly warmer temperatures could mean more algae, and algae can make the lake poisonous to fish.(*_*) The study shows that in some regions, lakes are warming faster than the air around them. This is important because scientists often use measurements of air temperature to study how the Earth is warming. By using lake temperatures as well, scientists can get a better picture of global warming.The scientists say data on lakes give scientists a new way to measure the impact of climate change around the world.(*_*) That's going to be useful, since no country is too big or too small to ignore climate change. Scientists aren't the only ones concerned. Everyone who lives is going on Earth to be affected by therapidwarming of the planet.Many world leaders believe we might be able to do something about it, especially by reducing the amount of greenhouse gases we put into the air.(*_*) That's why the United Nations started the Framework Convention on Climate Change, or UNFCCC. Every year the convention meets, and representatives from countries around the world gather to talk about climate change and discuss global solutions to the challenges of a warming world.(*_*) 16 Scientist have been keeping records of lake temperatures for over 30 years. A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned(*_*) 17 The temperatures of lakes around the world have increased greatly between 1985 and 2009. A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned(*_*) 18 Lakes seem to be warming faster in Asia. A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned(*_*) 19 A slight temperature increase in a lake could be harmful to fish.

It is particularly marketed as a platform for audio and visual media such as books, periodicals (期刊), movies, music, and games, as well as web content. At about 1.5 pounds (680 grams), its size and weight are between those of most contemporary smartphones and laptop computers. Apple released the IPad in April 2010, and sold 3 million of the devices in 80 days.(*_*) 2 The IPad runs the same operating system as IPod Touch and IPhone. It can run its own applications as well as ones developed for IPhone. Without modification, it will only run programs approved by Apple and distributed via its online store.(*_*) 3 Like IPhone and iPod Touch, the IPad is controlled by a multitouch display-a break from most previous tablet computers, which uses a pressure-triggered stylus (触控笔). The IPad uses a Wi-Fi data connection to browse (浏览) the Internet, load and stream media, and install software. Some models also have a 3G wireless data connection which can connect to GSM 3G data networks. The devices is managed and synchronized (同步) by ITunes on a personal computer via USB cable.(*_*) 4 An IPad has different features and applications one can use to execute different and interesting things. There are lots of IPad applications that the owner can use to enhance the way they communicate. Some of these are how to use social networking sites and other online options. One of the most common uses is for e-mail services. IPand applications like Markdown Mail allow the adoption of specific and particular options. They enable the owner to personalize their email accounts.(*_*) 5 While‎‎ the IPad is mostly used by consumers it also has been taken up by business users. Some companies are adopting IPads in their business offices by distributing or making available IPads to employees. Examples of uses in the workplace include lawyers responding to clients, medical professionals accessing health records during patient exams, and managers approving employee requests. A survey by Frost Sullivan shows that IPad usage in workplaces is linked to the goals of increased employees productivity, reduced paperwork, and increased revenue.(*_*) 23、 Paragraph 2 24、 Paragraph 3 25、 Paragraph 4 26、 Paragraph 5 (*_*) A Online stores B Differences from IPhone C Display and data connection D Business usage E Features and applications F Operating system(*_*) 27 In April 2010 the IPad developed by Apple was . 28 The IPad will only run programs approved by Apple if not . 29 IPad applications enable the owner's email accounts to be . 30 IPad usage in offices enables employee productivity to be .(*_*) A modified B increased C personalized D browsed E distributed F released(*_*) 第4部分:阅读理解(第31,45题，每题3分，共45分)(*_*) 下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文回答其后面的问题，为每题确定一个最佳答案。(*_*) 第一篇 Cell Phones: Hang Up or Keep Talking?(*_*) Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication-having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.(*_*) The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professional worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.(*_*) On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning (扫描) equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree.(*_*) What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amoun to t is too smallworry about.(*_*) As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often(*_*) 31 People buy cell phones for the following reasons EXCEPT that A they're popular B they're useful C they're convenient D they're cheap(*_*) 32 The world "detected" in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by A cured B removed C discovered D caused(*_*) 33 The salesman retired young because A he couldn't remember simple tasks B he disliked using mobile phones C he was tired of talking on his mobile phone D his employer's doctor persuaded him to(*_*) 34 On the safety issue of mobile phones, the manufacturing companies A hold that the amount of radiation is too small to worry about B deny the existence of mobile phone radiation C develop new technology to reduce mobile phone radiation D try to prove that mobile phones are not harmful to health(*_*) 35 The writer's purpose of writing this article is to advise people A to buy mobile phones B to use mobile phones less often C to update regular phones D to stop using mobile phones(*_*) 第二篇 The book of life(*_*) So far, scientists have named about 1.8 million living species(物种), and that's a just a small part of what probably exists on Earth. With so many plants, animals, and other creatures coveting the planet, it can be tough to figure out what type of spider is moving up your leg or what kind of bird is flying by.(*_*) A soon-to-be-started Web site might help. An international team of researchers has announced the creation of Web-based Encyclopedia(百科全书) of life(EOL). The proje‎‎ct aims to catalog every species on Earth in a single, easy-to-use reference guide.(*_*) To get the encyclopedia started, the creators will use information from scientific databases(数据库) that already exist. And eventually, in special sections of the site, nonscientist with specialized(专门的) knowledge will get to join in. Bird-watchers, for example, will be able to input which birds they've seen and where. The technology for (*_*)(*_*) (*_*)(*_*) this kind of tool has only become available.(*_*) As the EOL develops, you might find it useful for school projects. The site will feature special pages for kids who are studying ecosystems (生态系统) in their neighborhoods. To make sure the encyclopedia is accurate, scientists will review much of the information added to it. People who visit the site will be able to choose to leave out pages that haven't been reviewed.(*_*) Another convenient feature of the EOL is that you'll be able to pick the level of detail you want to see to match your interest, age, and knowledge. If you wanted to learn about bears for a science class report, for example, you could use the "novice" setting to get basic information about the animals. On the "expert" setting, on the other hand, you could get much more detailed information about the history, literature, and exploration of bears.(*_*) It now takes years for scientists to collect all the data they need to describe and analyze species. The creators of the Encyclopedia of Life hope that their new tool will speed up that process.(*_*) 36 "Spider" and "bird" mentioned in Paragraph 1 are examples to illustrate A there are numerous living species on Earth. B animals are people's friends. C it is easy to see spiders and birds. D there are many types of spiders and birds.(*_*) 37 The goal of the creation of the EOL is to A collect enough data to analyze the living sepecies on Earth. B enlarge an existing Web site of the living sepecies on Earth. C add new information to the existing databases of the living species on Earth. D work out an easy-to-use catalog of every living species on Earth.(*_*) 38 At the starting stage, the EOL will get information from A all the Web sites available. B databases built up by its creators. C the existing scientific databases. D nonscientists with specialized knowledge.(*_*) 39 The word "novice" in Paragraph 5 could be best replaced by A scientist. B creator. C beginner D expert.(*_*) 40 Which of the following statement is NOT true, A scientist will review every piece of information added to EOL B The EOL will be beneficial to school kids with its development. C Scientists have cataloged only a small part of the living species on Earth. D People with different interests and knowledge will in a way find the EOL useful.(*_*) 第三篇 Longer Lives for Wild Elephants(*_*) Most people think of zoos as safe places for animals, where struggles such as difficulty finding food and avoiding predators (猛兽) don't exist. Without such problems, animals in zoos should live to a ripe (成熟的) old age1.(*_*) But that may not be true for the largest land animals on Earth. Scientists have known that elephants in zoos often suffer from poor health. They develop diseases, joint problems and behavior changes. Sometimes, they even become infertile, or unable to have babies.(*_*) To learn more about how captivity (圈养) affects elephants, a team of international scientists compared the life spans of female elephants born in zoos with female elephants living outdoors in their native lands. Zoos keep detailed records of all the animals in their care, documenting factors such as birth dates, illnesses, weight and death. These records made it possible for me researchers to analyze 40 years of data on 800 African and Asian elephants in zoos across Europe. The scientists compared the life spans of the zoo-born elephants with the life spans of thousands of female wild elephants in Africa and Asian elephants that work in logging camps(伐木场),over approximately the same time period.(*_*) The team found that female African elephants born in zoos lived an average of 16.9 years. Their wild counterparts who died of natural causes lived an average of 56 years-more than three times as long. Female Asian elephants follo‎‎ar pattewed a similrn. In zoos, they lived 18.9 years, while those in the logging camps lived 41.7 years.(*_*) Scientists don't yet know why wild elephants seem to fare so much better than their zoo-raised counterparts. Georgia Mason, a biologist at the University of Guelph in Canada who led the study, thinks stress and obesity (肥胖症) may be to blame. Zoo elephants don't get the same kind of exercise they would in the wild, and most are very fat. Elephant social lives are also much different in zoos than in the wild, where they live in large herds and family groups.(*_*) The study raises some questions about acquiring more elephants to keep in zoos. While some threatened and endangered species living in zoos reproduce (生殖) successfully and maintain healthy populations, that doesn't appear to be the case with elephants.(*_*) 41 Unlike other animals in zoos, zoo-raised elephants A live a long life B give birth to many babies C develop poor health D have difficulty getting food(*_*) 42 Which of the following about the international scientists' study is NOT true? A They compared zoo elephants with wild elephants. B They analyzed the records of the elephants kept in zoos. C The zoo-born elephants they studied are kept in European zoos. D They kept detailed records of all the elephants in their care.(*_*) 43 It was found that, compared with female wild elephants, female zoo-born elephants A lived longer. B grew up faster. C died much earlier. D enjoyed the same life spans.(*_*) 44 One of the possible reasons for the Zoo-raised elephants' problems is that A they do not get enough exercise. B they do too much exercise. C they live in large herds. D they do not live in family groups.(*_*) 45 It can be inferred from the last paragraph that A Zoo-born elephants should be looked after more carefully. B Zoos should keep more animals except elephants. C It may not be a wise policy to keep elephants in the zoo. D Elephants are no longer an endangered species.(*_*) 第5部分:补全短文(第46-50题，每题2分，共10分)(*_*) 下面的短文有5处空白;短文后有6个句子，其中5个取自短文，请根据短文内容将其分别放回原有位置，以恢复文章原貌。(*_*) Flying into History(*_*) When you turn on the television or read a magazine, celebrities (名人) are everywhere.

40(D [解析]本题是阅读综合理解能力考查题。选项A"一只蚂蚁怎样被移出蚁穴"不是文章主旨;选项B"蚂蚁在晚上做什么"不是文章主旨;选项C"蚂蚁如何在黑暗中找到路"不是文章主旨;选项D"蚂蚁死后会发生什么"符合文章内容。因此只能选D。(*_*) 参考译文(*_*) 蚂蚁的死亡(*_*) 一只蚂蚁死后，别的蚂蚁会把它挪出蚁穴。科学家认为这一现象很有趣，他们想知道蚂蚁们如何迅速准确地得知有只同伴死了。(*_*) 加州大学科学家周东环发现阿根廷蚂蚁的身体能向外释放一种化学物质告诉同伴:"我死了，把我挪走吧。"(*_*) 让周东环在研究中疑惑不解的是蚂蚁都像僵尸一般，不仅是死蚂蚁，活的蚂蚁也有这种死亡化学物质。换句话说，当一只蚂蚁在餐厅或家中爬行时，它就在告诉同伴他死了。(*_*) 是什么令蚂蚁们并没有拖走活着的同伴?周发现阿根廷蚂蚁身体上有两种化学物质，这些物质能向周围的蚂蚁传达诸如"等等，我还没死呢"这样的信息。因此，周的研究发现了两种化学物质信号。一种说明"我死了"，另一种说"我还没死呢"。(*_*) 其他科学家也试图发现蚂蚁如何知道一个同伴已经死去。如果一个蚂蚁昏迷了，其他蚂蚁能在它醒过来前不碰它。这意味着蚂蚁们知道没有动的同伴有可能仍然活着。(*_*) 周指出，当一只阿根廷蚂蚁死后，发出"等等，我还没死呢"这一信号的化学物质立刻消失。一旦这种物质消失，就只有发出"我死了"的化学物质。周说，"这是因为死去的蚂蚁散发的味道不同于活着的蚂蚁，因而应该被带到坟墓去了。并不是因为蚂蚁在死后产生新化学物质。"当其他蚂蚁监测到"我没死"化学物质消失了，而只有"我死了"物质，它们就将尸体拖走。这是周的假设。(*_*) 为了证明这一假设，周和他的团队将不同的化学物质涂在阿根廷蚂蚁的蛹上。当科学家用"我已死"化学物质时，蚂蚁们立刻将处理过的蛹拉走。当科学家使用"等等，我还没死"这一化学物质时，其他蚂蚁并不碰这个蛹。周认为这一行为说明蚂蚁选择时，"还没死"物质要优先于"死亡"物质。而且当一只蚂蚁死后，"还没死"化学物质逐渐消失。其他周围的蚂蚁才感觉到"死亡"物质，并将尸体拖离蚁穴。(*_*) 第三篇(*_*) 41(C[解析]本题是细节考查题。冰人尸体被发现的原因在文章的第一段提到。选项A"两个德国人正在爬山";选项B"他刚好在一个山口上";选项C"融化的冰将他暴露出来";选项D"他躺在冰上"。因此只能选C。(*_*) 42(A[解析]本题是阅读理解能力考查题。能从第二段推断出的是以下哪项?选项A

[解析]本题是阅读理解能力考察题。第四段"bandits"是什么意思?选项A"强盗";选项B"射击手";选项C"士兵";选项D"猎人"。只有选项A与其他三项意义相距甚远。因此只能选A。(*_*) 参考译文(*_*) 冰人(*_*) 1991年九月的一天，两位德国人正在攀登奥地利和意大利之间的山脉。爬到一个山口它们发现了一具躺在冰上的尸体。在这样的高度(10499英尺或3200米)，冰通常是常年不化的。但是1991年是特别暖的一年，山上的冰比从前消融的迅速，所以尸体才显露出来。(*_*) 他面朝下，除了头部有伤外，骨架状况很好。骨头上依然有皮肤和残余的衣物。尸体双手仍然握着斧头的木柄，双脚穿着简单的由皮革和布料做的靴子，他附近有树皮做的一双手套和一个箭筒。(*_*) 他是谁?他在什么时候怎样死去的?人人的解释都不同。有人认为他就是本世纪的人，有可能是一战时期阵亡的士兵，因为在这附近已经有士兵被发现了。一位瑞士妇女相信他是自己二十年前在这些山脉间去世的父亲，他的遗体一直没有被找到。赶去查看的科学家认为这一尸体可能更久远，它甚至有一千岁了。(*_*) 科学家们运用最新的年代确定技术很快获悉这一冰人已有大约5300岁了。他大约出生在公元前3300年，生活在欧洲的青铜器时代。起初科学家们认为他有可能在高山间打猎时出事故而身亡。然而最近的一些证据显示不同。新型的X光表明他的肩膀上仍有一个箭头，皮肤上只有一个小孔，但却导致内部损伤和失血。几乎可以肯定他死于这个伤，而不是脑后的伤口。这说明他有可能参与过战争。这场战争有可能是大型战争的一部分或者其间他和强盗博斗过，甚至他本人就可能是强盗。(*_*) 通过研究他的衣服和工具，科学家们就已经知道有关冰人生活的时代的很多内容。我们有可能永远无法知道他死亡的真相，但是他给我们提供了了解那个远古时代的重要线索。(*_*) 第5部分:补全短文(*_*) 46(A [解析]本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。上一句说到"他允许他们自己制定薪水，但会削减他认为不必要的，比如像接待员和秘书这样的工作"，而下一句应该解释这种做法的原因。选项A说明"这样可以减少开支，并给公司带来更多平等"，与上下文联系最紧密，因此选A。(*_*) 47(C [解析]本题考查的是对段落主旨的理解和对文章细节的把握。本段主要讲semler如何改造公司的外表，而选项中只有C提到这方面的内容，"员工可以随意装饰自己的工作空间"放在这里是和前后两句话的并列。因此选C。(*_*) 48(B [解析]本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。上一句说到"但如果Semco在地球另一端的油泵坏了，上百万加仑的油即将注入大海时，Robin就会立刻跳起来行动"，下一句需要说到Robin怎样行动，因此选项B"他了解关于我们公司油泵的任何事情，并能修理"最符合题目要求。(*_*) 49(F [解析]本题考查的是对段落主旨的理解和对文章细节的把握。这一段讲述了Semco给予员工的自由，而选项中只有F"Semco也允许员工用公司的机器做自己的项目，并且一年至少能休假30天"与此内容相关，因此选F。(*_*) 50(E [解析]本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解。上一句说到同伴的压力让员工努力为他人工作，而下一句应具体解释这种压力如何发挥作用。选项E"如果有人表现不好。其他人会制止这一局面"延续了这一句的内容。因此选E。(*_*) 参考译文(*_*) Semeo(*_*) Ricardo Semler 21岁就做了父亲在巴西的公司Semco的老板，该公司出售轮船部件。小semler是个工作狂，每天从早上七点半工作至深夜。一天下午，他在纽约参观工厂时晕倒了，治疗医生说:"你身体没有什么毛病，但你若一直这样工作，你会长期待在医院的。"semler听从了医生的话。他改变了自己的工作方式，事实上也改变了员工的工作方式。(*_*) 他让员工担负更多责任，让他们为事情偏离轨道而担忧。他允许他们自己制定薪水，并且削减他认为不必要的，比如像接待员和秘书这样的工作。这样可以减少开支，并给公司带来更多平等。Semco的每个人，甚至高管都要自己接待客人、复印、发传真、打字和打电话。(*_*) 他完全改造了semco:办公室没有墙，而是植物，因此老板不能与其他人隔开。员工可以随意装饰自己的工作空间。制服方面，则有人穿西装，有人穿体恤。(*_*) Semler说:"我们有个坐在那里看几个小时报纸的销售经理，叫Rubin Agater。他甚至不用去装着很忙碌的样子。但如果Semco在地球另一端的油泵坏了，上百万加仑的油即将注入大海时，Robin就会立刻跳起来行动。他了解关于我们公司油泵的任何事情，并能修理。那就是他挣工资的时候。别人并不关心其他时间他是否看上去忙忙碌碌。"(*_*) Semco有弹性工作时间:员工自己决定什么时候来上班，并且一年要两次评估老板。Semco也允许员工用公司的机器做自己的项目，并且一年至少能休假30天。(*_*) 听上去很好?但这一切都起作用了么?答案在数字中:在过去的六年里，Semco的收入从三千五百万美元上升到两亿一千二百万美元。公司员工数量从八百增长到三千。为什么会发生这一切?(*_*) Semler认为这是因为"同伴的压力"。同伴的压力让员工努力为他人工作。如果有人表现不好，其他人会制止这一局面。换句话说，Ricardo semler给员工以成人的待遇，并希望他们有成人的行为。他们都做到了。(*_*) 第6部分:完形填空(*_*) 51(A[解析]release公布;suggest建议;accept接受;(*_*)(*_*) (*_*)(*_*)

sunspots on the sun can be seen without a telescope(It was not until the invention of the telescope(望远镜)in the early l7th century，however，that systematic studies of sunspots could be undertaken(The great astronomer Galileo was among the first to make telescopic observations of sunspots((*_*) Sunspots are regions of extremely strong magnetic fields(磁场)found on the sun's surface(A sunspot has a dark central core known as the umbra(The umbra is surrounded by a dark ring called the penumbra，where the magnetic field spreads outward(Sunspots appear dark because they are giving off less radiation(They are cooler than the rest of the sun's surface((*_*) Sunspots are frequently observed in pairs or in paired groups(The members of a spot pair are identified as the leading spot and the following spot(They are identified by their position in the pair in terms of the direction in which the sun rotates(旋转)((*_*) The number of sunspots at any one time varies(A large spot group may consist of as many as 10 groups and 300 spots across the sun(The number of spots changes in a fairly regular pattern called the sunspot cycle(The largest number occurs about every 11 years(At sunspot minimum，there are at most just a few small spots((*_*) The average lifetime of an individual spot group is roughly one solar rotation, which is about 25 days(The most persistent large spots, however,

colony-collapse(群体瘫痪)disorder(It is reported that 25 to 40 percent of the honeybees in the US have vanished from their hives since last fall(So far, no one can explain why((*_*) Colony collapse is a serious concern because bees play an important role in the production of about one-third of the foods we eat(As they feed，honeybees spread pollen(花粉)from flower to flower(Without this process，a plant can't produce seeds or fruits((*_*) Now，a group of scientists and beekeepers have teamed up to try to figure out what's causing the alarming collapse of so many colonies(They hope to find out what's

Evans，a researcher at the United States Department of Agriculture(USDA)Bee Research Laboratory, examines bees taken from colonies that are collapsing(" We know what a healthy bee should look like on the inside, and we can look for physical signs of disease," he says(And bees from collapsing colonies don't look very healthy(" Their stomachs are worn down, compared to the stomachs of healthy bees, "Evans says(It may be that a parasite(寄生虫)is damaging the bees' digestive organs(Their immune(免疫的) systems may not be working as they should(Moreover, they have high levels of bacteria inside their bodies((*_*) Another cause of colony-collapse disorder may be certain chemicals that farmers apply to kill unwanted insects on crops，says Jerry Hayes，chief bee inspector for the Florida Department of Agriculture.

hole in the universe is not a solid object,like a planet,but it is shaped like a sphere (球体).Astronomers(天文学家)think that at the center of a black hole there is a single point in space with infinite(无限的)density(稠密).This single point is called a singularity (奇点).If the singularity theory is correct,it means that when a massive star collapses,all the material in it disappears into the singularity.The center of a black hole would not really be a hole at all,but an infinitely dense point.Anything that crosses the black hole is pulled in by its great gravity.(*_*) Although black holes do exist,they are difficult to observe.These are the reasons.(*_*) ? No light or anything else comes out of black holes.As a result,they are invisible to a telescope.(*_*) ? In astronomical terms,black holes are truly.For example,a black hole formed by the collapse of a giant star would have an event horizon(视界)only 18 miles across.(*_*) ? The nearest black holes would be dozens of light years away from Earth.One light year is about 6 trillion(万亿)miles.Even the most powerful telescopes could not pick out an object so small at such a great distance.(*_*) In 1994 the Hubble Space Telescope provided evidence that black holes exist‎‎.There answe‎‎ are stillrs to be found,however,so black holes remain one of the mysteries of the universe.(*_*) 16.Black holes are part of space.(*_*) A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned(*_*) 17.Black holes exist but are difficult to observe.(*_*) A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned(*_*) 18.The center of a black hole is empty.(*_*) A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned(*_*) 19.The attraction of two large stars leads to gravity.(*_*) A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned(*_*) 20.The sun is the heaviest star in the universe.(*_*) A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned(*_*) 21.The nearest black holes are hundreds of light years away from us.(*_*) A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned(*_*) 22.The Hubble Space Telescope helps scientists to understand the nature of the universe.(*_*) A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned(*_*) 第3部分:概括大意与完成句子(第23~30题，每题1分，共8分) 下面的短文后有2项测试任务:(1)第23~26题要求从所给的6个选项中为第2~5段每段选择1个最佳标题;(2)第27~30题要求从所给的6个选项中为每个句子确定1个最佳选项。(*_*)Memory Test(*_*) 1"I am going to give you five techniques that will enable you to remember anything you need to know at school,"promised lecturer lan Robinson to a hundred schoolchildren.He slapped his hand down on the table."When I've finished in two hours' time,your work will be far more effective and productive.Anyone not interested,leave now."The entire room sat still.(*_*) 2Robinson calls himself the Mind Magician (魔术师).He specializes in doing magic tricks that look totally impossible,and then he reveals that they involve nothing more mysterious than good old-fashioned trickery (骗术)."I have always been interested in tricks involving memory-being able to reel off (一口气 说出) the order of cards in a pack,that sort of thing,"he explains.(*_*) 3Robinson was already lecturing to schools on his magic techniques when it struck him that students might find memory techniques even more valuable."It wasn't difficult area to move inot,as the stuff's all there in books."So he summarized everything to make a two-hour lecture about five techniques.(*_*) 4"You want to learn a list of a hundred things?A thousand?No problem,"says Robinson.The scandal is that every child is not taught the techniques from the beginning of their school life.The schoolchildren who were watching him thought it was brilliant."I wish I'd been told this earlier,"commented Mark,after Robinson had shown them how to construct"mental journeys".(*_*) 5Essentially,you visualize (想象) a walk down a street,or a trip (*_*)(*_*) (*_*)(*_*) round a room,and pick the points where you will put the things you want to remember-the lamppost,the fruit bowl.Then in each location you put a visual representation of your list-phrasal verbs,historical dates,whatever-making them as strange as possible.It is that simple,and it works.(*_*) 6The reaction of schools has been uniformly enthusiastic."The pupils benefited enormously from lan's presentation,"says Dr Johnston,head of the school where Robinson was speaking."ldeally we should run a regular class in memory techniques so pupils can pick it up gradually."(*_*) 23.Paragraph 2 . 24.Paragraph 3 . 25.Paragraph 4 . 26.Paragraph 5 .

A.Petroleum. B.Coal. C.Natural gas D.Water.(*_*) 32.China's Three Gorges Dam A.is the first hydroelectric dam in the world. B.is of the same size as the US's Hoover Dam.

A.The UK. B.China. C.Norway. D.The US.(*_*) 34.One of the problems with wind farms is that A.there is not enough wind. B.wind is not reliable. C.they can only be built on the sea. D.they might influence the world economy.(*_*) 35.According to the passage,resources like wind are A.renewable. B.recyclable. C.damaging. D.scarce.(*_*) 第二篇(*_*)Hurricane(飓风)Katrina(*_*) A hurricane is a fiercely powerful,rotating(旋转的)form of tropical storm that can be 124 to 1,240 miles in diameter.The term hurricane is derived from Hurican,the name of a native American storm god.Hurricanes are typical of a calm central region of low pressure between 12 to 60 miles in diameter,known as the eye.They occur in tropical regions.Over its lifetime,one of these can release as much energy as 10,000 nuclear bombs.(*_*) The seed for hurricane formation is a cluster(聚集)of thunderstoms over warm tropical waters.Hurricanes can only form and be fed when the sea-surface temperature exceeds 27? and the surrounding atmosphere is calm.These requirements are met between June and November in the northern part of the world.(*_*) Under these conditions,large quantities of water evaporate(蒸发)and condense(冷凝)into clouds and rain-releasing heat in the process.It is this heat energy,combined with the rotation of the Earth,that drives a hurricane.(*_*) When the warm column of air from the sea surface first begins to rise,it causes an area of low pressure.This in turn creates wind as air is drawn into the area.This spinning wind drags up more moist air from the sea surface in a process that strengthens the storm.Cold air falls back to the ocean surface through the eye and on the outside of the storm.(*_*) Initially,when wind speeds reach 23 miles per hour,these mild,wet and grey weather systems are known as depressions,or low air pressure.Hurricane Katrina formed in this way over the south-eastern Bahamas on 23 August 2005.Katrina has had a devastating impact on the Gulf Coast of the US,leaving a disaster zone of (*_*)(*_*) (*_*)(*_*) 90,000 square miles in its wake(尾迹)-almost the size of the UK.Thousands have been killed or injured and more than half a million people have become homeless in a humanitarian(人道主义的)crisis of a scale not seen in the US since the Great Depression.The cost of the damage may top $100 billion.(*_*) 36.The eye of a hurricane refers to its A.lower part. B.rotating part. C.calm central part. D.most violent part.(*_*) 37.Which of the following is NOT a "requirement"for the formation of a hurricane? A.Calm surrounding atmosphere. B.High air pressure. C.Warm sea-surface temperature. D.A group of thunderstorms over warm tropical waters.(*_*) 38.When the warm air from the sea surface begins to rise,it A.creates an area of low pressure. B.supplies cold air to the eye of a hurricane. C.increases the sea-surface temperature. D.strengthens the rotation of the earth.(*_*) 39.The word"impact"(paragragh 5)could be best replaced by A."function". B."pressure". C."disaster". D."effect".(*_*) 40.Which of the following is NOT true of Hurricane Katrina according to the last paragraph? A.The area affected is almost as big as the UK. B.It has left a disaster zone of 90,000 square miles. C.Over half a million people have been forced to leave their homes. D.This crisis is more serious than that of the Great Depression.(*_*) 第三篇(*_*)Trying to Find a Parther(*_*) One of the most striking findings of a recent poll in the UK is that of the people inbterviewed,one in two believes that it is becoming more difficult to meet someone to start a family with.(*_*) Why are many finding it increasingly difficult to start and sustain intimate relationships?Does modery make it harden life reallr to fall in love?Or are we making it harder for ourselves?(*_*) It is certainly the case today that contemporary couples benefit in different ways from relationships.Women no longer rely upon partners for economic security or status.A man doesn't expect his spouse to be in sole charge of running his household and raising his children.(*_*) But perhaps the knowledge that we can live perfectly well without a partnership means that it takes much more to persuade people to abandon their independence.(*_*) In theory,finding a partner should be much simpler these days.Only a few generations ago,your choice of soulmate (心上人) was constrained(限制) by geography,social convention and family tradition.Although it was never explicit,many marriages were essentially arranged.(*_*) Now those barriers have been broken down.You can approach a builder or a brain surgeon in any bar in any city on any given evening.When the world is your oyster (牡蛎),you surely have a better chance of finding a pearl.(*_*) But it seems that the old conventions have been replaced by an even tighter constraint:the tyranny of choice.(*_*) The expectations of partners are inflated(提高) to an unmanageable degree:good looks,impressive salary,kind to grandmother,and right socks.There in the is no room for errorfirst impression.(*_*) We think that a relationship can be perfect.If it isn't,it is disposable.We work to protect ourselves against future heartache and don't put in the hard emotional labor needed to build a strong relationship.Of course,this is complicated by realities.The cost of housing and child-rearing creates pressure to have a stable income and career before a life partnership.(*_*) 41.What does the recent poll show? A.It is getting more difficult for a woman to find her husband. B.It is getting increasingly difficult to start a familyl. C.It is getting more difficult for a man to find his wife. D.It is getting increasingly difficult to develop an intimate relationship with your spouse.(*_*) 42.Which of the following is NOT true about a contemporary married couple?

D.They will receive a large sum of money from the govemment.(*_*) 43.Which of the following was NOT a constraint on one's choice of soulmate in the old days? A.The health condition of his or her grandmother. B.The geographical environment. C.The social convention.
