For years, scientists have worked hard to understand the changes that happen to them. They find that three factors 41 fall’s colorful farewell — leaf pigments (色素), length of night, and weather. The timing of the color change is mainly regulated by the increasing length of night. ‖None of the other 42 influences, such as temperature, rainfall, food supply, are as unchanging as the 43 increasing length of night during fall. As days grow shorter, and nights grow longer and cooler, biochemical 44 in leaves begin to paint the landscape with an explosion of colors. And Nature puts on one of its most splendid 45 of beauty.The timing of the color change 46 by species. Some species in southern forests can become vividly colorful in late summer while all other species are still vigorously green. Oaks put on their colors long after other species have already shed their leaves. These differences in timing among species seem to be genetically 47 , for a particular species, whether on a high mountain or in warmer lowlands, will change color at the same time.However, some species are evergreens. Pines, for example, are green all the year round because they have toughened up. They have developed over the years a needle-like or scale-like foliage (绿叶植物), which is 48 with a heavy wax coating. And the liquid inside their cells contains cold-resistant elements. So the leaves of evergreens can safely withstand (经受住) all but the most 49 winter conditions, such as those in the Arctic.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Every year the United States exports ―cultural products‖ to the rest of the world while it only imports similar products from other countries equal to about one percent of the amount exported.Movies, for example, are one such 50 . The movie industry in countries like England and Italy is almost completely 51 on American exports. Both countries report that 85% to 95% of all movie tickets sold each year are for movies produced in the United States. Millions of peopleworldwide buy American pop, rap, and rock music. Billions of people drink Coca-Cola and eat McDonald’s hamburgers. ‖American software52 the computer market.Can all of the above products be called ―cultural‖, however? That depends on how one53 culture. Most people 54 culture into two forms: “high” culture and “low” culture. High culture is the kind produced by writers arid 55 . It is more concerned with stimulating thought in the people who view or use it and does not 56 care how marketable people find it. Low culture, 57 , is viewed as a product usually for entertainment and is only as good as how well it sells. Because it is 58 by masses of people, this type of culture can also be called ―mass culture‖. The59 between low and high culture are not very clear.Pierre Guerlain, a professor of English and American Studies in France, points out that when a cultural product is imported, the product cannot cover the existing culture, thus 60 it. The imported product is changed to adapt to the local context. Anyone who believes that a society which imports American products of mass culture will become a 61 of America is being naive (幼稚的). ‖American may seem to have the strongest hand in exporting cultural products, but there is a boomerang (相反的) 62 for being more of an exporter than importer. Because Europeans and Japanese import so many cultural products from the United States, they know a lot more about American culture 63 than Americans know about European or Japanese culture. It is a definite advantage for the Europeans and Japanese to be bilingual as well as bicultural. These countries can use their knowledge of American society and 64 to increase their chances of success in the American market.50. A. aspect B. product C. example D. project51.

A. values B. economy C. policies D. characteristicsSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Until recently, the “science of the future” was supposed to be electronics and artificial intelligence. Today it seems more and more likely that the next great breakthroughs in technology will be brought through a combination of those two sciences with organic chemistry and genetic engineering. This combination is the science of biotechnology.Organic chemistry enables us to produce marvelous synthetic materials. However, it is still difficult to manufacture anything that has the property of wool to conserve (保存) heat and also to absorb moisture. Nothing that we have been able to produce so far comes anywhere near the combination of strength, lightness and flexibility that we find in the bodies of ordinary insects.Nevertheless, scientists in the laboratory ha ve already succeeded in “growing” a material that has many of the characteristics of human skin. The next step may well be “biotech hearts and eyes” which can replace diseased organs in human beings. These will not be rejected by the body, as is the case with organs from humans.The application of biotechnology to energy production seems even more promising. In 1996 the famous science fiction writer, Arthur C. Clarke, many of whose previous predictions have come true, said that we may soon be able to develop, remarkably cheap and renewable sources of energy. Some of these power sources will be biological. Clarke and others have warned us repeatedly that sooner or later we will have to give up our dependence on non-renewable power sources. Coal, oil and gas are indeed convenient. However, using them also means creating dangerously high levels of pollution. It will be impossible to meet the growing demand for energy without increasing that pollution to disastrous levels unless we develop power sources that are both cheaper and cleaner.It is attempting to think that biotechnology or some other “science of the future” can solve our problems. Before we surrender to that temptation we should remember nuclear power. Only a few generations ago it seemed to promise limitless, cheap and safe energy. Today those promises lie buried in a concrete grave in a place called Chernobyl, in the Ukraine. Biotechnology is unlikely, however, to break its promises in quite the same or such a dangerous way.65. The materials produced with organic chemistry are _____ at present.A. not as good as natural materialsB. as good as an insect’s bodyC. better than natural materialsD. as good as wool66. According to the passage, it may soon be possible _____.A. to transplant human organsB. to make something as good as human skinC. to produce drugs without side effectsD. to make artificial hearts and eyes67. In 1996, Arthur C. Clarke predicted that _____.A. the Chernobyl disaster would happen in two yearsB. oil, gas and coal could be repeatedly used in the futureC. biological power sources would be put into use soonD. we will never stop using non-renewable power sources68. What do we learn from the last paragraph?A. Biological power will keep all its promises.B. Biological power is cheaper than nuclear power.C. Biotechnology can solve all our future energy problems.D. Biological power may not be as risky as nuclear power.(B)We’ve all been there, finishing a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downing cookie after cookie while cramming (死记硬背) for a big test. But when done a lot especially without realizing it emotional eating can affect weight, health, and overall well-being.Not many of us make the connection between eating and our feelings. But understanding what drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it.One of the biggest myths (荒诞的说法) about emotional eating is that it’s driven by negative feelings. Yes, people often turn to food when they’re stressed out, l onely, sad, anxious, or bored. But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too, like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine’s Day or the celebration of a holiday feast.Sometimes emotional eating is tied to major life events, like a death or a divorce. More often, though, it’s the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seek comfort or distraction in food.Emotional eating patterns can be learned: A child who is given candy after a big achievement may grow up using candy as a reward for a job well done. A kid who is given cookies as a way to stop crying may learn to link cookies with comfort. It’s not easy to ―unlearn‖ patterns of emotional eating. But it is possible. And it starts with an awareness of what’s going on.We’re all emotional eaters to some extent (who hasn’t suddenly found room for dessert after a filling dinner?). But for some people, emotional eating can be a real problem, causing serious weight gain.The trouble with emotional eating (aside from the health issues) is that once the pleasure of eating is gone, the feelings that cause it remain. And you often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you did. That’s why it helps to know the differences between physical hunger and emotional hunger.Next time you reach for a snack, check in and see which type of hunger is driving it.69. People turn to emotional eating because _____.A. they are preparing for the testB. they enjoy the pleasure of eatingC. they want to seek comfort or distractionD. they feel better after eating70. By saying ―We’ve all been there‖ (Paragraph 1), the author means _____.A. finishing a whole bag of chips out of freedom is badB. we are all emotional eaters to some extentC. our health will be affected by emotional eatingD. people eat more without realizing it71. If you want to break away from the patterns of emotional eating, the first thing you should do is to _____.A. reduce stress and anxietyB. relax and try to lose weightC. stop seeking comfort from foodD. realize what is happening(C)ASK LASKASYOU’VE GOT QUESTIONS, SHE’S GOT ANSWERSQ My problem is computer gaming. I do it day and night, averaging four hours of sleep. I can’t control of this, and I don’t know where to go for help. Do you? PlayerA Dear player,You have an addiction. For some people playing video games releases dopamine, a powerful brain chemical that makes you feel good. You’d toss your cigarettes if you were ready to quit, right? To kick the habit, get help from a health professio nal. And don’t look for help on line; that would be like an alcoholic going to the bar for advice.Q My brother’s wife just had triplets (三胞胎). This is such a joy! Yet every time I share the news with co-workers, they ask me if she was on fertility pills. I think this is rude —or has society just become so talk-show numbed (麻木的) that you can ask anyone anything? No Show HostA Dear Host,Yes. Our society has become increasingly disrespectful of privacy. But don’t blame it all on the talk shows. Continue to celebrate and greet impolite questions with stony silence. Their fertility history is nobody’s business but their own.Q I work at an amusement park, and my manager steals supplies. She has a catering business on the side, and we’ve seen her load up her van at the back gates. The big bosses think she the best thing since buttered bread, and we’re all afraid that if we say nothing, we’ll lose our jobs. What can we do? RighteousA Dear Righteous,Be sure you’re right. You must have evidence about what and why things are going out the back gates. Once you know for certain, it’s time to go to the bosses and report what you have see n.Q My stepson’s wife sometimes leaves their eight-year-old home alone for “a short run to the store. ” That may be an hour or so. I believe by law we should report it. What do you think?The In-lawsA Dear Laws,I don’t know what the child-protection laws in your state are, but I do know that children need care and attention. This child may be able and unafraid, but kids aren’t always careful. It also sounds like there is stress in your family relationship. One thing you can do to help this situation is offer to baby-sit when Mom needs to step out.72. Which of the following statements is true?A. Dopamine is a powerful brain chemical good to our health.B. Looking for help on line is like getting help from a health professional.C.

Laws, the old lady, wants to report what she sees to the child’s fatherD. LASKAS doesn’t seem to approve of Laws’ trying to report what she sees75. Which Q&A mentioned transport?A. The first.B. The second.C. The third.D. None.Section CDirections: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Illegal hunting has caused a decrease in the number of sea turtles.B. Most turtles are eaten by Mexicans and Mexican Americans.C. A campaign to protect sea turtles.D. Many people kill and eat turtles in a religious observance.E. Government should prevent sea turtle hunting to increase the number of the species.F. A letter was written to Pope to save endangered sea turtles.76.Environmental groups in the United States are leading a campaign to save thousands of endangered sea turtles. ‖They have asked Pope John Paul the Second to ban turtle meat during the Christian religious observance known as Lent. Christians observe Lent in preparation for the holiday of Easter.77.Environmental groups say illegal turtle hunting is one of the major threats to endangered sea turtles in southern California and Mexico. It has been illegal to harvest and eat sea turtle meat in Mexico for more than ten years. However, demand for sea turtle meat is widespread in both Southern California and Mexico. Biologists believe that illegal hunting is one of the main reasons for the sharp drop in sea turtle populations during the past thirty years.78.The week before Easter Sunday is an especially deadly time for the turtles. As many as 5,000 turtles are killed during this time each year. Many Mexicans and Mexican Americans eat turtle meat during the days before Easter. Many people do not eat meat during this holy time in order to obey the rules of Lent. Because sea turtles swim, many people consider them to be fish. Fish is permitted during Lent.79.The Sea Turtle Conservation Network is a union of fishermen, environmental activists and researchers. They sent a letter to Pope John Paul, urging the Roman Catholic Church leader to officially declare that sea turtle flesh is meat, not fish or seafood. They say thousands of these endangered animals would be saved if people did not eat them during this religious period. The letter also asked members of the Catholic Church to obey laws banning the capture of turtles inMexico and the United States. ‖80.About 35,000 endangered sea turtles are killed illegally near the coasts of Baja, California each year. Studies have shown a sharp drop in the numbers of females. They travel from as far away as Japan to lay their eggs on local beaches. Environmental activists say hunting sea turtles for their meat is the main barrier to the recovery of the species. They have urged the governments of the United States and Mexico to improve enforcement of the ban on sea turtle harvesting.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions or complete the statements in no more than 12 words.“Severe fatigue (疲乏), very weak. I could barely walk down the block,” says Wendy Moro. Why, she wondered, then, Wendy and her doctor begin to suspect her plate. “A few times a week I was having fish, whether it was once or four times,” says Wendy. “What kind of fish? Sword fish, tuna and sea bass, the highest mercury-content (汞含量) fish sold in the commercial market,” says Dr. Jane Hightower.Mercury enters the ocean with commercial pollution. It works its way up the food chain, and apparently into to some of the most popula r fish on the market. Wendy’s doctor, Dr. Jane Hightower, was so suspicious that she began testing her Bay Area patients. All consumed large amounts of fish, and an overwhelming majority tested high for mercury in their systems.“I was seeing hair loss, fatigue, muscle ache, headache, feeling just an ill feeling.” Hightower said.The symptoms began to clear up when Hightower cut the amount of fish in their diets. “It was so obvious, but the problem was still unknown to the public,” she said. “I even wante d to rent a tent and a tambourine.” (A tambourine is a small one-sided drum with metal disks around its rim.) Her published findings drew national attention. But despite her study, there is still fierce debate over how much fish is safe to eat, and how much mercury consumers are actually eating. So we decided to do our own test.According to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), the safe level of mercury intake for a 120-pound woman like Wendy is a little over 38 micrograms per week. On average, a single serving of tuna purchased here in the Bay Area contained more mercury than the EPA recommends a woman of Wendy’s size eat for an entire week. Sea bass had nearly twice that level, and swordfish nearly six times the EPA’s safe mercury intake for a week, in a single serving.While there is little scientific data on how the body reacts to high levels of mercury, it has been linked to symptoms ranging from muscle pain to hair loss, birth defects, and muscle fatigue.And, as in our testing, the evidence is mounting that the larger the fish, the more the exposure.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statement in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. The popular fish on the market obtain mercury through _____ and _____.82. When Dr. Hightower ―wanted to rent a tent and a tambourine‖, she meant to _____.83. What did Dr. Hightower do with the information she discovered?84. What should people do according to the test done by the EPA?第II 卷（共45 分）I.
