Television is the most significant of these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school.Parents are concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children. The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them. Studies indicate that, when children are exposed to violence, they may become aggressive or insecure.Parents are also concerned about the commercials (商业广告) that their children see on television. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers.Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of. The most famous of these is Sesame Street, which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet (字母) and numbers.It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live.Even though most parents and educators give Sesame Street and shows like it high marks for quality, some critics argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmful to children. These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive (被动的) consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it.31．Which of the following statements is not based on the passage?A．Parents are worried about the influence from television on their children.B．Television has much influence on children.C．Both parents and their children like watching educational television.D．Some critics think that television is no good for children.32．In what ways do children suffer from television?A．They become the victims of social violence.B．They spend hours watching television instead of doing school work.C．The programs make the children lose interest in the world.D．The programs make the children spend too much of their parents’ money.33．Parents would not like their children to see commercials because ____________.A．they think that their children are not old enough to handle advertisingB．commercials teach children alphabet and numbersC．commercials help to sell productsD．they don’t like commercials34．Educational television is widely appreciated because _____________.A．it does have the same commercials as othersB．it offers programs for both children and their parentsC．many parents like the programs it offers for their childrenD．children can learn some school subjects before they go to school 35．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A．Watching Too Much Television Is Harmful to Young Minds.B．Television Is More Harmful than Educational.C．Television’s Influence on Children.D．More Education Television.Passage 2Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent drought (干旱) and floods.Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers.Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became bare and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this. They cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in, and also bind the soil. This prevents the soil from being washed away. But where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.36. Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways, the most important of whichis that they can ____________.A. keep him from the hot sunshineB. enable him to build warshipsC. make him draw quick profit from themD. protect him from droughts and floods37. It’s a great pity that ____________.A. man is only interested in building empiresB. man is not eager to make profits from treesC. man hasn’t realized the importance of trees to himD. man hasn’t found out that he has lost all trees38. Sooner or later the forests will disappear_________________________.A. unless a country has a plenty supply of treesB. unless people stop cutting down their treesC. unless all people are taught the importance of planting treesD. unless the government punishes those who cut trees instead of plantingthem39. The word “bind” in Paragraph 5 means“_______________”.A. to wash awayB. to make wetC. to make stay togetherD. to improve40. When there is a heavy rain, trees can help to prevent floods, as they can_____________.A. keep rain from falling down to soft groundB. make it possible for the soil to allow rainwater to sink inC. prevent the soil from being washed awayD. make the topsoil stick togetherPassage 3Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work, you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic (精力充沛) is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes before noon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar sayings as: “Get up, John! You’re late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. When you get up, sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.41. According to the new findings of Dr. Kleitman, if a person finds gettingup early a problem, most probably __________________.A. he is a lazy personB. he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC. he is not sure when his energy is lowD. he is at his energy peak in the afternoon or evening42. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A. Unawareness of energy cycles.B. Familiar saying.C. A chang e in a family member’s energy cycle.D. Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.43. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, heshould _________.A. change his energy cycleB. overcome his lazinessC. get up earlier than usualD. go to bed earlier44. You are advised to act slow when you rise in the morning because it will____________.A. help to keep your energy for the day’s workB. help you to control your mood early in the dayC. enable you to concentrate on your routine workD. keep your energy cycle under control all day45. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.B. Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peak at different hours ofday.C. Habit helps one adapt to his own energy cycle.D. Children have energy cycles, too.Part IV. Vocabulary and Structure (25 points)Section ADirections: In this section there are 15 incomplete sentences.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1. (40 points)Teachers and researchers of English language arts have been struggling with the effects of computers on reading since the 1960sand on writing since the late l970s. Rein and Bowl, who studied theinfluence of technology and its impact on the nature of writtencommunication since the invention of the printing press, conclude,“Technology has frequently played a dominant role in defining whatreading and writing skills have been considered important, as wellas how and to whom they were taught” New terms such as Web-basedliteracy, electronic literacy, digital literacy, and digitallearning are beginning to show up in our everyday vocabulary. Theseterms represent a trend toward new dimensions of literacy andcurricular goals. Educational goals are tied to learningenvironments, as one changes so must the other. Literacy goals 100years ago for many students were to be able to read and write names,copy and read texts, and generate lists of merchandise. Literacygoals of today require mastery over many different types of writing, persuasive, expressive, expository, and expectstudents tobe able to interpret, compare, contrast, and analyze complex texts.Leu and Kinzer describe the impact of information andcommunication technologies, such as the Internet, on the context forliteracy and learning in the 21st century. Their analysis is basedon what research indicates to be the major cultural forces affectingchanges in literacy education, not on ability research thatdemonstrates the effects of information and communication technologies (ICT) on student learning, as some researchers andpolicymakers have called for in recent years. They note, “ICT andother d igital technologies are so central to the nation’s futurethat additional data on their ability are unnecessary before systemically integrating these technologies into schools.” In otherwords, cultural forces are compelling enough to validate the use ofthe Internet for educational purposes.Access to the Internet is now widely available in schools.Indeed, according to the National Center for Education Statistics,98 percent of U.S. public schools and 77 percent of classrooms inthose schools were connected to the Internet by 2000.Telecommunications —defined as telephone, radio, television,videotapes, compact and laser discs, computers, and satellite technologies brought together through a networked, multimediainformation infrastructure called the Internet — change how teachersand students share information and ideas across all disciplines.36. Rein and Howl think that the impact of technology on readingand writing is ____.A. littleB. greatC. occasionalD. indefinite37. Which of the following words can best describe the relationshipbetween educational goals and learning environment?A. Interrelated.B. Indecisive.C. Independent.D. Identical.38. Literacy goals of today for students are to be able to ______.A. copy and read textsB. write lists of merchandiseC. master different writing techniquesD.understand written materials in general39. Leu and Kinzer’s research into the impact of technology onliteracy focuses on ______.A. student learning activitiesB. educationalpurposesC. learning efficiencyD. cultural forces40. According to the text, telecommunications change _____.A. people’s way of thinkingB. the way of informationtransferC. people’s way of behaviorD. the way of entertainmentA “policy” is the position taken by an organization withrespect to a particular subject area. Most governments, for example,have policies concerning how trade is to be conducted with othercountries or regions; corporations usually have policies concerningthe fair treatment of their employees; and environmentalorganizations may have policies with respect to the use of naturalresources. Policies are often made explicit through formalstatements and documents (e.g. a statement that, throughout thecountry, drinking water is to available for all citizens). Policies may not be clear sometimes, and not specifically written down; andone may have to interpret the organization’s ac tions in order todetermine indirectly the policies which tend to be in place. Anorganization which consistently favors a particular group of people(e.g. farmers, the rich, the poor, men, women, or people fromparticular districts), even though not formally acknowledging thistendency, can be seen as implementing a policy through its actions.Policy analysis is particu larly difficult if an organization’sstated policies and its actions are in conflict with its stated policies. This situation, which is not uncommon, means that thestated policies and the actual policy may be quite different. Oneneeds to examine the implementation of a policy to determine itsreal content and effects.Policies are seldom restricted to particular time periods.Rather, they are positions which are expected to guide the decisionsand actions of the organization over an indefinite time period.Examples of such policies include the following: all people shouldbe provided with the basic requirements of life; the earth’s resources should be used in a sustainable fashion; transportationsystems should be designed to ensure public safety; or all adultsare entitled to vote in elections. Because policies have long, indefinite time horizons, plans to implement them often involve manydifferent components, including the following: several short-termprograms; national or local laws; regulations; and agree-ments.While policies are intended to last over indefinite timeperiods, they do change as the years pass. Changes usually occurwhen the organization’s governing body is changed, when the views ofparticular leaders become prominent, when public opinion changes, orwhen factors beyond the control of a particular society becomeimportant to the people and natural resources of that society.41. Which of the following statements is true about policies?A. Policies are the regulations made by the government.B. Policies often involve clear and direct statements.C. Policies function as laws with regard to a particular subject.D. Policies are usually implicit without referring to a specificissue.42. It is suggested that if an organization favors a certain groupof people ___.A. this tendency may not be formally stated in a policyB. this tendency cannot be seen in its actionsC. its actions should be in accord with its policiesD. its actions will be restricted43. A policy’s real content and effects need to be found out because______.A. actions are sometimes inconsistent with policiesB. the implementation of a policy is difficultC. stated policies may be ignoredD. policies are changeable44. In regard to time periods, policies are usually ____.A. supposed to guide the actions of an organization for goodB. expected to be effective in a definite time periodC. meant for indefinite time periodsD. limited to particular points in time45. Which of the following is mentioned that may cause the changeof policies?A. Disagreements among the governing body.B. Advance of the society.C. Worsening of the natural resources.D. Change of, the leaders.It was the dedication and enthusiasm of the man who taught meEnglish at Wallington County Grammar School that led me to studyEnglish literature at Bristol University. I don’t want you to thinkthat I am looking back on my school days through a fog of nostalgia(怀旧). I am not. I struggled. There was a period when a day without apunishment was rare. “Wild,” my French teacher once wrote on myschool report, though I have never worked out whether he wasreferring to my indifference to the finer points of French grammaror to my awful behavior.I did not appreciate it at the time, but I was lucky. Luckyto pass my eleven-plus exam but lucky, too, to be growingup whenthere were still hundreds of grammar schools. Before me, no-body inmy family had been to university. My parents were hugely supportive,but could never have afforded to send me to an independent school.If I’d been born ten years later and attended a com-prehensiveschool, I might have achieved similar results and gone to the sameuniversity. Who knows? What is clear is that grammar schools offeredhundreds of thousands of children from modest or dis-advantagedhomes the best possible start in life.Most have now, of course, been abolished. Back in the 1960s, the Labor government decided that grammar schools were an elitist(培养精英的) education. A new system of comprehensive e-ducation woulddevelop all children, irrespective of their intellectual ability.More grammar schools were closed by Mrs. Thatcher when she was incharge of education than at any time before or since. The 164 thatsurvive face an uncertain future. Before the 1997 general election,Tony Blair made it plain that the grammar school system was “nolonger the appropriate model for a world where most jobs requireeducated men and women.” After the election, he changed the law toenable parents in areas with grammar schools to lobby (议会) for theirabolition. If enough disapprove, the school will be closed.The recent government decision to fund partnerships betweengrammar and comprehensive schools is an attempt to persuadesupporters of grammar schools that they have nothing to fear from aLabor government. The partnerships may do some good, but thelegislation that threatens the existence of grammar schools remains.46. What kind of a student was the author when he was in grammarschool?A. Obedient.B. Dedicated.C. Incompetent.D. Misbehaved.47. The author looks back on his school time in order to _____.A. introduce the topic of grammar schoolsB. show his unusual personalityC. offer some background information about himselfD. criticize the school systems at that time48. According to the author, who benefited most f tom grammarschools?A. The upper class.B. The middle or lower class.C. A few top students.D. Children with intellectualabilities.49. Tony Blair’s attitude toward grammar schools _____.A. is in accord with that of Mrs. ThatcherB. changed afterthe electionC. scares grammar school supportersD. is different fromthat of the parents50. The author thinks that the partnership between grammar andcomprehensive schools may _____.A. do a lot for the existence of grammar schoolsB. do nothing for the existence of grammar schoolsC. have some good effect on the existence of grammar schoolsD. have some bad effect on the existence of grammar schoolsThe present state of things on the planet earth would berather a puzzle to an observer from another planet. If he landed inthe United States, the most noticeable animals in sight would beautomobiles, and if he examined these vigorous hard-shelled creatures, he would find that each contains one or more soft, powerless organisms that appear notably helpless when removed fromtheir shells. He would decide, after talking with these defenselesscreatures, that they had no independent existence. Few of them haveanything to do with the production or transportation of find. Theyneed clothing and shelter, but do not provide them for themselves.They are dependent on their distant fellows in thousands of complexways. When isolated, they usually die — just like worker ants thatwander helplessly and hopelessly if separated from their colony.If the observer were intelligent (and earth observers arealways presumed to be intelligent) he would conclude that the earthis inhabited by a few very large organisms whose individual partsare subordinate to a central directing force. He might not be ableto find any central brain or other controlling unit, but human biologists have the same difficulty when they try to analyze an anthill. The individual ants are not impressive objects — in fact theyare rather stupid, even for insects —but the colony as a wholebehaves with striking intelligence.When human observers landed on a foreign planet, they may find it inhabited by organisms in an even more advanced stage ofsocial cooperation. Perhaps its moving and visible parts will beentirely secondary, like the machines of man. Perhaps the partsthat are really alive will be even more helpless. Perhaps this organic stuff, having served its creative purpose, will have fadedaway, leaving the machines that it has created in possession of theplanet.51. “Organisms” (in paragraph 1) in the first paragraph refers to_____.A. some plantsB. wild animalsC. strange creaturesD. human beings52. Why are the creatures on earth defenseless?A. They cannot provide themselves with the things they need.B. They cannot defend themselves from creatures from other planets.C. They have a relatively soft and weak body.D. They exist independently from one another.53. The use of “distant” (in paragraph 1) implies that _____.A. the planets are far away from one anotherB. the inhabitants of earth need things brought from distant placesC. the creatures on earth usually live apartD. the organisms are helpless when they are separated54. Human beings are similar to ants in that ____.A. neither of them is impressiveB. both of them have coloniesC. no individual can survive if aloneD. each individual is very intelligent55. It is suggested that with the advance of the society humanbeings will become more _____.A. intelligentB. secondaryC. interdependent D. creativeSection IV TranslationDirections:In this section there is a passage in English.

But overtime the games grew to include wrestling, chariot racing, boxing, and other sports. Women were not allowed to compete, but they had their own separate games.“The ancient athlete became celeb rities(名人), just like today.

B 63. …Now, do the Reading Comprehension.Text AT ommy Albelin, a Devils defenseman, was the team‘s most effective performer the night the Stanley Cup champions played their best game of the young season. Playing left wing instead of defense against the Detroit Red Wings last Thursday night, Albelin scored the second goal of the game and made the pass that set up the fourth one.Albelin played so well in the 4-2 victory that Coach Jacques Lemaire said, ―Tommy, you lost your job.‖―I was kind of surprised,‖ Albelin said today. ―When he saw the look on my face, he said very quickly ?as a defenseman‘ and I knew then he was joking.‖Lemaire had Albelin right back on defense in the next game, last Saturday‘s 4-1triumph over the Ottawa Senators. Albelin responded just as well, making the pass for the winning goal.With Brian Rolston leaving today‘s practice because of a foot problem and ready to join Bobby Holik and Bob Carpenter as injured Devils, look for Albelin to return to left wing when New Jersey plays the Vancouver Canucks Wednesday night at the Meadowlands.This season, the 31-year-old Albelin has played left wing three times and defenseman four. In addition, because Albelin is so adept at skating and puck-handling, Lemaire has been using him for penaltykilling and the power play.―It‘s a big advantage to have a player like him,‖ Lemaire said after today‘s practice. ―When you don‘t have the necessary player to play against a player, you canuse Abbey because he adjusts very well. He listens to all the things I tell thedefensemen and all the thin gs I tell the forwards. ―Lemaire‘s decision to shuttle Albelin is not prompted by a desire to find the bestposition for him. Rather, it is testimony to Albelin‘s versatility.Albelin was used as a left wing for the first time by Herb Brooks, the man whom Lemaire replaced after Brooks resigned three summers ago, but he played only a handful of games in that position.The Devils changed coaches frequently in Albelin‘s early years with the team. As a result, Albelin contemplated returning home to Sweden several times. But he said today he was glad he never did.Albelin came to the Devils from Quebec in 1988 and has been a solid player. Year after year, despite coaching changes, injuries and the presence of marquee names like Scott Stevens, Slava Fetisov, Stephane Richer and Claude Lemeiux, Albelin‘s dedication and consummate professionalism have made him an integral part of the team.―My philosophy has always been to play where the team needs me,‖ Albelin said. ―I don‘t question the decisions by the coac hes. As long as I‘m out there on the ice, I don‘t care what position I play.‖ Albelin has performed effectively at wing and on defense despite the different responsibilities. Judging by the way Albelin described them, it is clear he prefers to play defense.―There are a lot of adjustments you have to make as a forward,‖ Albelin said, ―You have to be a little more creative, do more things with the puck. Improvisesomewhat, but to a point. As a defenseman, you can get by most ofthe time by giving the puck to your forwards and support the play.‖ Albelin said today that the uncertainty over whether he will play defense or offense on any given night was not much of a concern in terms of preparing himself.―I don‘t mind as long as I know before the warm-ups,‖ he said.61. Tommy Albelin is _______ defenseman.A. Red WingsB. CanucksC. DevilsD. Brooks62. Albelin has played defenseman _______ this season.A. three timesB. four timesC. two timesD. five times63. Coach Lemaire shuttles Albelin because he _______.A. is versatileB. is a solid playerC. is very dedicatedD. is docile64.

The Best Player in DevilsC. The Versatile Albelin in CanucksD. Versatile Albelin Brings Devil VictoriesText BThe effect of any writing on the public mind is mathematically measurable by its depth of thought. How much water does it draw? If it awaken you to think, if it lift you from your feet with the great voice of eloquence, then the effect is to be wide, slow, permanent, over the minds of men; if the pages instruct you not, they will die like flies in the hour. The way to speak and write what shall not go out of fashion is, to speak and write sincerely. The argument which has not power to reach my own practice, I may well doubt, will fail to reach yours. But take Sidney‘s maxim: —―Look in thy heart, and write.‖ He that writes to himself writesto an eternal public. That statement only is fit to be made public,which you have come at in attempting to satisfy your own curiosity. The writer who takes his subject from his ear, and not from his heart,should know that he has lost as much as he seems to have gained, and when the empty book has gathered all its praise, and half the people say, ―What poetry! What genius!‖ it still needs fuel to make fire. Thatonly profits which is profitable.Life alone can impart life; and though we should burst, we can onlybe valued as we make ourselves valuable. There is no luck in literary reputation. They who make up the final verdict upon every book are not the partial and noisy readers of the hour when it appears; but a courtas of angels, a public not to be bribed, not to be entreated, and not to be overawed, decides upon every man‘s title to fame. Only those books come down which deserve to last. Gilt edges, vellum, and morocco, and presentation-copies to all the libraries, will not preserve a book in circulation beyond its intrinsic date. It must go with all Walpole‘s Noble and Royal Authors to its fate.Blackmore, Kotzebue, or Pollok may endure for a night, but Moses and Homer stand forever. There are not in the world at any one time morethan a dozen persons who read and understand Plato: — never enough to pay for an edition of his works; yet toevery generation these come duly down, for the sake of those few persons, as if God brought them in his hand. ―No book,‖ said Bentley, ―was ever written down by any but itself.‖ The permanence of all bo oks is fixed by no effort friendly or hostile, but by their own specific gravity, or the intrinsic importance of their contents to the constant mind of man. ―Do not trouble yourself too much about the light on your statue,‖ said Michelangelo to the young sculptor; ―the light of the public square will test its value.‖In like manner the effect of every action is measured by the depthof the sentiment from which it proceeds. The great man knew not that he was great. It took a century or two for that fact to appear. What he did, he did because he must; it was the most natural thing in the world, and grew out of the circumstances of the moment. But now, every thing he did,even to the lifting of his finger or the eating of bread, looks large, all-related, and is called an institution.67. The following statements are wrong EXCEPT _________.A. Only the thing that is profitable profits.B. If the pages do not instruct you, they will not die like flies in the hour.C. Only the statement, which you have come at in attempting to satisfy yourreader‘s curiosity, is fit to be made public.D. He that writes by himself writes to an eternal public.68. ―How much water does it draw?‖ means__________.A. How much content does it have?B. How much influence does it exert?C. How much value does it have?D. How important is it?69. A writer‘s fame is decided upon by __________.A. partial and noisy readersB. a court of angelsC. an angel-like public not to be bribedD. a public to be bribed70. At any time in the world Plato‘s work are read and understood by__________.A. less than a dozen personsB. more than a dozen personsC. many peopleD. no one71. The permanence of all books is fixed by__________.A. no effortB. friendly effortC. hostile effortD. their own specific gravityText CPsychologists study memory and learning with both animal and human subjects. The two experiments reviewed here show how short-term memory has been studied.Hunter studied short-term memory in rats. He used a special apparatus which had a cage for the rat and three doors. There was alight in each door. First the rat was placed in the closed cage. Next one of the lights was turned on and then off. There was food for the rat only at this door. After the light was turned off, the rat had to wait a short time before it was released from its cage. Then, if it went to the correct door, it was rewarded with the food that was there. Hunters did this experiment many times. He always turned on the lights in a random order. The rat had to wait different intervals before it was released from the cage. Hunter found that if the rat had to wait more than ten seconds, it could not remember the correct door. Hunter‘s results show that rats have a short-term memory of about ten seconds.Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 students at the University of California in Los Angeles. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate, advanced, and native-speaking students.To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording. Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Some of them had four unrelated choices. For instance, weather, method, love, result could be used as four unrelated words. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning‘s results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their shot-term memory.72. In hunter‘s experiment, the rat had to remember_________.A. where the food wasB. how to leave the cageC. how big the cage wasD. which light was turned on73. Hunter found that rats_________.A. can remember only where their food isB. cannot learn to go to the correct doorC. have no short-term memoryD. have a short-term memory of one-sixth a minute74. Henning tested the students‘ memory of _________.A. words copied several timesB. words explainedC. words heardD. words seen75. Henning concluded that beginning and advanced students________.A. have no difficulty holding words in their short-term memoryB. differ in the way they retain wordsC. have much difficulty holding words in their short-term memoryD. hold words in their short-term memory in the same way76. The following statements are wrong EXCEPT_________.A. The rat could find the correct door when the light of the next door was turned offB. The rat could find the correct door to get the food whenever it was released from its cageC. Each of the three doors had a light that was turned onD. The rat could remember where to find the food if it waited forless than ten secondsText DA Frenchman, the psychologist Alfred Binet, published the first standardized test of human intelligence in 1905. But it was an American, Lewis Terman, a psychology professor at Stanford, who thought to dividea test taker‘s ―mental age‖, as revealed by that score, by his or her chronological age to derive a number that he called the ―intelligence quotient‖, or IQ. It would be hard to think of a pop-scientific coinage that has had a greater impact on the way people think about themselves and others.No country embraced the IQ – and the application of IQ testing to restructuresociety – more thoroughly than the U.S. Every year millions of Americans have their IQ measured, many with a direct descendant ofBinet‘s original test, the Standford-Binet, although not necessarilyfor the purpose Binet intended. He developed his test as a way of identifying public school students who needed extra help in learning,and that is still one of its leading uses.But the broader and more controversial use of IQ testing has itsroots in a theorythof intelligence – part science, part sociology – that developedin the late 19 century,before Binet‘s work and entirel y separate from it. Championed firstby Charles Darwin‘s cousin Francis Galton, it held that intelligencewas the most valuable humanattribute, and that if people who had a lot of it could beidentified and put in leadership positions, all of society would benefit.Terman believed IQ tests should be used to conduct a great sortingout of the population, so that young people would be assigned on thebasis of their scores to particular levels in the school system, which would lead to corresponding socioeconomic destinations in adult life.The beginning of the IQ-testing movement overlapped with the eugenics movement – hugely popular in America and Europeamong the ―better sort‖ before Hitler gave it a bad name – which held that intelligencewas mostly inherited and that people-deficient in it should be discouraged from reproducing. The state sterilization that JusticeOliver Wendell Holmes notoriouslyendorsed in a 1927 Supreme Court decision was done with an IQ scoreas justification.The American IQ promoters scored a great coup during World War Iwhen they persuaded the Army to give IQ tests to 1.7 million inductees.It was the world‘s firstmass administration of an intelligence test, and many of the standardized tests in use today can be traced back to it: the now ubiquitous and obsessed-over SAT (Study Ability Test); the Wechler,taken by several million people a year, according to its publisher; and Terman‘s own National Intelligence Test, originally used in tracking elementary school children. All these tests took from the Army the basic technique of measuring intelligence mainly by asking vocabulary questions (synonyms, antonyms, analogies, reading comprehension).77. According to Terman‘s theory, a twelve-year-old boy‘s mental age is 10, then hisIQ number is about __________.A. 0.8B. 0.9C. 1.0D. 1.278. IQ test is originally used to ___________.A. find out the students who need extra help in learningB. assign young people to different majorsC. select the acceptable recruits for armyD. select the leaders for society79. The viewpoint that intelligence was mostly inherited and people deficient inintelligence should be discouraged from reproducing was held by___________.A. A. IQ-testing movementB. Eugenic movementC. C. HitlerD. D. both IQ-testing and Eugenic movements80. What does the author probably mean by ―scored a great coup‖ (see Para. 5)?A. FailedB. SucceededC. CriticizedD. AdvocatedText EHistorical developments of the past half century and the inventionof modern telecommunication and transportation technologies have created a world economy. Effectively the American economy has died and been replaced by a world economy.In the future, there is no such thing as being an American manager. Even someone who spends an entire management career in Kansas City is in international management. He or she will compete with foreign firms, buy from foreign firms, sell to foreign films, or acquire financing from foreign banks.The globalization of the world‘s capital ma rkets that has occurredin the past 10 years will be replicated right across the economy in the next decade. An international perspective has become central to management. Without it managers are operating in ignorance and cannot understand what is happening to them and their firms.Partly because of globalization and partly because of demography,the workforces of the next century are going to be very different from those of the last century. Most firms will be employing more foreign nationals. More likely than not, you and your boss will not be of the same nationality. Demography and changing social mores mean that white males will become a small fraction of the work force as women and minorities。

For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Questions 56—60 are based on the following passage.Muslim headscarves and other religious symbols are almost certain to be banned from French schools and public buildings after a special commission told the government recently that legislation was needed to defend the secular nature of the state. The 20-member group, appointed by President Jacques Chirac and headed by the national ombudsman, Bernard Stasi, recommended that all “conspicuous” signs of religious belief — including Jewish skullcaps, oversized Christian crosses and Islamic headscarves — be outlawed in state-approved schools.The report, compiled after six months of study, also recommended that the laws should include a clause requiring “the strict neutrality of all public service employees”. Some Muslim women had reportedly been insisting that their husbands accompany them at all times in hospital and would accept only female doctors. The report said the legislation must remind all health service users that “it is forbidden to reject a healthcare worker, and that the rules of hygiene must be respected”. In a gesture of respect to “all spiritual options”, the report said the Jewish and Muslim holy days of Yom Kippur and Eid should be made official school holidays, and companies should consider ways of allowing their employees to take off the religious holiday of their choice.Mr Chirac said that he favoured a law protecting France's secular republic, “I will be guided by republican principles and the demands of national unity and the solidarity of the French people,” he said. The question of whether a “secularism law” is desirable or necessary—particularly to deal with the increasing number of Muslim girls wanting to wear headscarves at school — may seem abstract, or even absurd, to those used to British or US notions of multiculturalism. In France, where secularism is a constitutional guarantee and everyone, in the eyes of the republic, is supposed to be equally French regardless of ethnic or religious differences, the issue has dominated media and political debate for several months. Mr Stasi said the proposed law aimed to preserve constitutional secularism and counter “forc es trying to destabilise the republic”, a clear reference to Islamic fundamentalism. But he stressed that the law was not directed at the mainly moderate Muslim community of 5 million. “Muslims must understand that secularism is a chance for Islam,” Mr Stasi said. “Secularism is the separation of church and state, but it is also the respect of differences.”The main teachers' union, said that the proposals did not go far enough to promote secularism in schools.56. The Stasi commission has recommended that the wearing of headscarves in French schools be banned because_________.A. they are conspicuousB. they represent forces trying to destabilise the republicC. the commission wants to defend the secular nature of the French stateD. they are religious symbols57. The commission recommended a clause requiring the strict neutrality of all public service employees because__________.A. they wanted to remind people that it is forbidden to reject a healthcare workerB. some people only accept female doctorsC. it took six months to compile the reportD. some people accept female and male doctors58. The commission recommended the introduction of new public holidays________.A. in order to allow workers to choose their holidaysB. as a gesture of respect to all religionsC. in order to ensure the strict neutrality of all public service employeesD. in order to give the doctors more opportunities to work59. The constitutional guarantee of secularism under French law means that________.A. people cannot wear headscarves to schoolB. people can wear headscarves to schoolC. the issue has dominated media and political debate for several monthsD. everyone is regarded as equally French whatever their religion or ethnic background60. The main teachers' union criticised the proposals because they________.A. were too radicalB. were not radical enoughC. promoted secularism in schoolsD. were too unfairSection B Short Answer Questions (20 points)Directions: In this section, there are 2 passages. Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. Read the passages carefully, then answer the questions in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words). Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.Questions 61—65 are based on the following passage.The changing climate over the next 50 years is expected to drive a quarter of land animals and plants into extinction, according to the first comprehensive study into the effect of higher temperatures on the natural world. The scale of the disaster facing the planet shocked those involved in the research. They estimate that more than 1 million species will be lost by 2050.The results are desc ribed as “terrifying” by Chris Thomas, professor of conservation biology at Leeds University, who is lead author of the research from four continents published last week in the magazine Nature. Much of that loss — more than one in 10 of all plants and animals — is already irreversible because of the extra global warming gases already discharged into the atmosphere. But the scientists say that action to curb greenhouse gases now could save many more. It took two years for the largest global collaboration of experts to make the first major assessment of the effect of climate change on six biologically rich regions of the world taking in 20% of the land surface. The research in Europe, Australia, Central and South America, and South Africa, showed that species living in mountainous areas had a greater chance of survival because they could move uphill to get cooler.In South Africa, major conservation areas such as Kruger National Park risked losing up to 60% of the species under their protection, while of 300 South African plant species studied, more than one third were expected to die out, including the national flower, the King Protea.In the Cerrado region of Brazil which covers one fifth of the country, a study of 163 tree species showed that up to 70 would become extinct. Many of the plants and trees that exist in this savannah occur nowhere else in the world. In Europe, the continent least affected by climate change, survival rates were better.Studies in Mexico's Chihuahuan desert confirmed that on flatter land extinction was more likely because a small change in climate would require migrations over vast distances for survival. One third of 1,870 species examined would be in trouble.So many species are already destined for extinction because it takes at least 25 years for the greenhouse effect — or the trapping of the sun's rays by the carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide — to have its full effect on the planet. The continuous discharge of more greenhouse gases, particularly by the United States and European nations, is making matters worse. The research says that, if mankind continues to burn oil, coal and gas at the current rate, up to one third of all life forms will be doomed by 2050.Questions:61. How many species are expected to be lost by the year 2050?62. How much of the land surface of the world does the report on global warming cover?63. How many species of South African plants are expected to die out?64. How long does it take for the greenhouse effect to have its full effect on the planet?65. Which human activities can produce greenhouse gases?Questions 66—70 are based on the following passage.South Korean and American scientists have cloned human embryos and successfully extracted stem cells from one of them. The research opens the way for once-undreamed of treatments for long-term diseases such as diabetes, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. It also reignites the debate about human cloning. The team used 242 eggs from 16 women to clone 30 blastocysts — the tiny ball of cells that become an embryo. Stem cells are the agents that turn a single fertilised egg into up to 10 trillion cells in just nine months' gestation.Scientists around the world have cloned sheep, mice, rats, rabbits, horses, and even a mule. But despite dramatic yet unsupported claims from European fertility clinics, primates and humans were thought to be almost impossible to clone.The Korean and US scientists sucked the original DNA out of the egg, and substituted it with chromosomes from an adult cell. Then th ey “tricked” the egg into thinking it had been fertilised. “Nobody has cloned a human here,” said Donald Kennedy, a biologist and editor in chief of Science.The White House responded to the news of the breakthrough with a reminder that President George Bush is opposed to stem cell research. “The age of human cloning has apparently arrived: today cloned blastocysts for research, tomorrow cloned blastocysts for baby-making,” said Leon Kass, chairman of the president's council on bioethics. Last week's announcement was the culmination of years of research into the potential benefits of therapeutic cloning. But for those benefits to be realised, researchers must now work out how to turn the cells into replacement human tissue needed to treat disease.In the long term, some scientists believe it could be possible to grow entire organs. Linda Kelly of the Parkinson's Disease Society in the UK said: “This announcement is clearly a milestone in medical research.” But the pressure group Human Genetics Alert warne d that researchers had given a big boost to those who want to make cloned babies. Such fears arise because the initial steps in therapeutic cloning and reproductive cloning are identical.Questions:66. The extraction of stem cells from cloned human embryos could lead to________.67. Previously people thought that it was impossible to clone________.68. The original DNA was substituted by________.69. Opponents of stem cell research believe that it could lead to________.70. Some people regard this research as________.Section C True or False (10 points)Directions: In this section, there is 1 passage with 10 statements. Read the passage and decide which of the statements at the end of the passage are true and which are false. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.Questions 71—80 are based on the following passage.A recent survey of women MPs in the British Parliament shows that many male MPs have very old-fashioned views about women. The survey was based on interviews with 83 current and recent MPs and it contains some frank comments about certain male MPs making sexist remarks and gestures as women try to speak in the House of Commons, the lower chamber of the British Parliament.When Gillian Shephard arrived in the House of Commons as a new Tory (Conservative) MP in 1987 she was confused when she and her fellow women MPs were called Betty. “There was a Conservative MP who called us all Betty,” she says, “and when I said, ‘Look, you know my name isn't Betty’, he said, ‘Ah, but you're all the same, so I call you all Betty, it's easier’.”Barbara Follett says: “I remember some Conservatives making sexist comments and gestures every time a Labour woman got up to speak.” When a large number of female MPs — 120 in all — arrived in the House of Commons after Tony Blair's election victory in 1997, Labour's Claire Curtis-Thomas thought that the red ribbons tied to coat hangers were for Aids day. Later she learnt they were for MPs to hang up their swords.Another new MP, Yvette Cooper, found it hard to make Commons officials believe that she was not a researcher or a secretary. Jackie Ballard, a Liberal Democrat who left parliament atthe last election, remembers a well-known Tory MP who constantly made sexist remarks, “maybe about someone's legs or someone being a lesbian ... if he worked for me he'd probably be sacked”. The same MP once said, while drunk in the House of Commons, that he'd like to “make love to” a nearby woman.The interviews show how even after the arrival of the “Blair babes”, female MPs were expected to concentrate on “women's issues”, such as health and education. Several complain of the humiliation they experienced when they entered traditionally male territory. When Labour's Dari Taylor resigned from the defence committee — one of only two women on it — thechairman, Bruce George, stood up and said: “Well, I have to make this announcement: one down, one to go.”Many women MPs were astonished by the negative reactions of their male colleagues. Even male MPs who publicly supported sexual equality were furious when they saw women getting promotion. One current member of the government was asked, when she was promoted: “Oh, you've had a very fast rise, who have you been sleeping with?” Male MPs and officials seemed unwilling to accept the new Labour women, many of them in their 30s and 40s. Some simply could not believe that such young women could be members of parliament.Many female MPs say that things have improved since the introduction of “family friendly” hours. The old male drinking culture is gradually disappearing. But it isn't perfect yet. Sarah Teather, the new Liberal Democrat MP, says: “Lots of people say it's similar to an old boys' club. I've always said, to me it feels rather more like a teenage public school — you know, a public school full of teenage boys.”The thing that makes women MPs furious is that their achievements are not recognised. They say that they have brought a new feminised agenda to British politics, in particular, the fact that childcare is now at the top of the domestic agenda. They mention several other successful policies too, in particular parental leave.Statements:71. All British male MPs have old-fashioned views about women.72. All the male MPs call the women MPs “Betty”.73. The red ribbons were to mark Aids day.74. Commons officials thought one woman MP was a secretary or a researcher.75. Health and education are traditional male territory.76. Many male MPs reacted negatively when women got promotion.77. The old male drinking culture is rapidly disappearing.78. Many women MPs feel their achievements are recognised.79. 83 MPs were interviewed in this survey.80. 125 women MPs arrived in Parliament in 1997.Part VI Cloze-Test (10 minutes, 10 points)。

2005考研“考试虫”英语8套模拟试卷(二)1Part ADirections:Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)Text 1The atmosphere forms a gaseous, protective envelope around Earth, which protects the planet from the cold of space, from harmful ultraviolet light, and from all but the largest meteors. After trav eling over 93 million miles, solar energy strikes the atmosphere and Earth' s surface, warming the planet and creating what is known as the biosphere, the region of Earth capable of sustaining life. So lar radiation in combination with the planet' s rotation causes the atmosphere to circulate. Atmospheric circulation is one important reason that life on earth can exist at higher latitudes because equatorial heat is transported pole-ward, moderating the climate.The equatorial region is the warmest part of the earth because it receives the most direct and, therefore, strongest solar radiation. The plane in which the earth revolves around the sun is called the ecliptic (黄道). Earth's axis is inclined 23 1/3 degrees with respect to the ecliptic. This inclined axis is responsible for our changing seasons because, as seen from the earth, the sun swings back and forth across the equator in an annual cycle. On or about June 21 each year, the sun reaches the Tropic of Cancer (北回归线),23 1/3 degrees north latitude. This is the northernmost point where the sun can be directly overhead. On or about December 21 of each year, the sun reaches the Tropic of Capricorn (南回归线) ,23 1/3 degrees south latitude. This is the southernmost point at which the sun can be di rectly overhead. The polar regions are the coldest parts of the earth because they receive the least direct and, therefore, the weakest solar radiation. Here solar radiation strikes at a very oblique (sloping) an gle and thus spreads the same amount of energy over a greater area than in the equatorial regions. A static envelope of air surrounding the earth would produce an extremely hot, uninhabitable equatorial region while the polar regions would remain inhospitably cold.The transport of water vapor in the atmosphere is an important mechanism by which heat energy is redis tributed pole-ward. When water evaporates into the air and becomes water vapor, it absorbs energy. At the equator, air filled with water vapor rises high into the atmosphere where winds carry it pole-ward. As this moist air approaches the polar regions, it cools and sinks back to earth. At some point the water vapor con denses out of the air as rain or snow, releasing energy in the process. The now-dry polar air flows back toward the equator to repeat the cycle. In this way, heat energy absorbed at the equator is deposited at the poles and the temperature difference between these regions is reduced.The circulation of the atmosphere and the weather it generates is but one example of the many complex,interdependent events of nature. The web of life depends on the proper functioning of these natural mechanisms for its continued existence. Global warming, the hole in the atmosphere's ozone layer, and increasing air and water pollution pose serious, long-term threats to the biosphere. Given the high degree of nature's interoon-nectedness, it is quite possible that the most serious threats have yet to be recognized.21. The first paragraph of the passage deals mainly with the atmosphere'sA.)sheltering effect on our planet.B.)reviving effect on the biosphere.C.)life-creating effect on the earth.D.)moderating effect on the earth temperature.22. It is true that the atmosphere is incapable ofA.)preventing most ultravioletrays from reaching the earth surface.B.)protecting the earth from the attack of some heavenly bodies.C.)making the earth climate suitable for the maintenance of life.D.)separating our globe from the severe conditions of outer space.23. It is coldest in the polar regions becauseA.)they are far from the equator.B.)the sun always swings over tropic areas.C.)solar radiation strikes there only indirectly.D.)the sunshine reaches there at a very slanted angle.24. The life-sustaining function of the atmosphereA.)relies on its absorption of heat energy.B.)consists of the air and water vapor it contains.C.)lies in spreading solar energy over different regions.D.)depends on the stability of its constituents.25. The author summarizes thatA.)assuming nature to be an integrated existence, human threats may be extremely serious.B.)granting natural events to be inseparable, pollution is becoming increasingly unbearable.C.)considering the close interdependence of natural mechanisms, the greatest dangers remain to be identified.D.)supposing natural factors were closely interrelated, the most serious threats may still have to be clarified.Text 2An official report, addressing concerns about the many implications of genetic testing, outlined policy guidelines and legislative recommendations intended to avoid involuntary and/or ineffective test-2005ing, and to protect confidentiality. The reportidentified urgent concerns, such as quality control mea sures (including federal oversight for testing laboratories) and better genetics training for medical prac titioners. It recommended voluntary screening, urged couples in high-risk populations to consider car rier screening, and advised caution in using and interpreting pre-symptomatic or predictive tests, be cause certain information could easily be misused or misinterpreted.About three in every 100 children are born with a severe disorder presumed to be genetic or par tially genetic in origin. Genes, often in concert with environmental factors, are being linked to the causes of many common adult diseases such as heart disease, hypertension (high blood pressure) , vari ous cancers, Alzheimer's disease, etc. Tests to determine predisposition to a variety of conditions are under study, and some are beginning to be applied.The report recommended that all screening, including screening of newborns, be voluntary. Cit ing the results of two different voluntary newborn screening programs, the report said these programs can achieve compliance rates equal to or better than those of obligatory programs. State health depart ments could eventually require the offering of tests fordiagnosing treatable conditions in newborns, however, careful pilot studies for conditions diagnosable at birth need to be done first.Although the report asserted that it would prefer that all screening be voluntary, it did note that if a state requires newborn screening for a particular condition, the state should do so only if there is strong evidence that a newborn would benefit from effective treatment at the earliest possible age. Newborn screening is the most common type of genetic screening today. More than four million new borns are tested annually so that effective treatment can be started in a few hundred infants.Prenatal (preceding birth) testing can pose the most difficult issues. The ability to diagnose ge netic disorders in the fetus (胎儿) far exceeds any ability to treat or cure them. Parents must be fully informed about risks and benefits of testing procedures, the nature and variability of the disorders they would disclose, and the options available if test results are positive.Obtaining informed consent — a process that would include educating participants, not just pro cessing documents —would enhance voluntary participation. Whenoffered testing, parents should re ceive comprehensive counseling, which should be nondirective. Relevant medical advice, however, is recommended for treatable or preventable conditions.Genetics also can predict whether certain diseases might develop later in life. For single-gene dis eases , population screening should only be considered for treatable or preventable conditions of relative ly high frequency. Children should be tested only for disorders for which effective treatments or pre ventive measures could be applied early in life.26. The report aims toA.)offer a detailed description of genetic testing process.B.)stress the need for caution in the use of newborn screening.C.)interpret the significance of genetic testing to the public.D.)state the chief points of the policy guidelines on genetic screening.27. Great care should be given to the employment ofinformation inA.)newborn screening.B.)predictive tests.C.)pilot studies.D.)informed consent.28. The phrase "in concert with"in Line 2, Para.2 may be best replaced byA.)in contrast with.B.)on account of.C.)with relation to.D.)in company with.29. One intention of the policy guidelines was toA.)preserve privacy in genetic testing.B.)implement compulsory testing.C.)minimize concerns about quality control.D.)endorse the expansion of screening programs.30. According to the report, states should implement obligatory infant screening onlyA.)if the compliance rate for voluntary screening is low.B.)for mothers who are at high risk for genetic disease.C.)after very careful research is undertaken.D.)to avoid the abuse of sensitive information.2005考研“考试虫”英语8套模拟试卷(二)1 相关内容:。

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A,B,C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.(40 points)Text 1Faced with the task of analyzing thousands of genes at once, researchers routinely turn to DNA chips thumbnail-size disks of glass orplastic with thousands of microscopic bits of DNA arrayed on their surface, made by Affymetrix Inc, and others. The chips are one of the key innovations that have transformed genomics from a cottage industry into a large-scale automated business. Now, as researchers begin work on the complete set of human proteins the proteomethey are betting that protein chips will be one of the mainstays of research.As proteins are far more complex than strands of DNA,it’s not an easy leap from DNA chips to protein ones. But that hasn’t discouraged biochemist Patrick O.Brown, who played a critical role in developing simple, cheap DNA chips. He and his graduate student, Brain Haab recently completed a pilot study to test the feasibility of protein chips. They put antibodies obtained from other labs on glass chips and looked to see what stuck to them. Roughly a third of the 120 off-the-shelf antibodies they have tested bonded specifically to their protein counterparts.J. Craig Venter, president and chief scientific officer of Celera Genpmics, also believes that these protein chips are oneof the keys that will unlock the secrets of the human proteome. Venter plans to use them to uncover the complicated networks of interactions that occur amog proteins in a given cell. He believes this technology will totally take the place of the need for DNA chips.That won’t happen overnight. It’s not easy to make specific antibodies to fight every variant of every protein in the human body, for it takes months to make just one. Imaginehaving to repeat that million of times over. Rudolf H. Aebersold, a molecular biologist at the University of Washington in Seattle, believes that protein chips have a lot of potential, but cautions that as a research tool,they still have a long way to go. Aebersold’s lab is trying to make a different kind of chip that miniaturizes and automates protein separation.Just what forrm protein chips ultimately take is anybody’s guess.But sophisticated tods like them are essential if researcher are to solve the riddles buried in the human proteome.21. Based on the first paragraph, it is true that DNA chips are （本题分值：2分）【正确答案】D[A] capable of splitting thousands of genees at once for scientific research.[B] small glass or plastic pieces wrapped in thousands of tiny DNA bits.[C] powerful tools for analyzing genes invented by Affymetrix Inc and others.[D] to be substituted for by protein chips based on theresearch of the proteome.22.The recent test made by Patrick Brown and his student shows that（本题分值：2分）【正确答案】A[A] the making of protein chips is practicable though it’s more expensive than that of DNA chips.[B] it’s more difficult to construct protein chips than DNA chips because of the greater complexity of proteins.[C] their study on the feasibility of protein chips proves to be the most advanced in the area.[D] the better part of the activated antibodies stuck together with their corresponding proteins.23. According to Craig Venter,（本题分值：2分）【正确答案】B[A] the secrets of the human proteome are locked in the protein chips.[B] the human proteome may be further studied with the helpof protein chips.[C] protein chips are the unique means to disclose the mystery of the human proteome.[D] the interactions among human proteins are too complex to be explained without protein chips.24. Rudolf Aebersold asserts that（本题分值：2分）【正确答案】C[A] the proteome is so difficult to analyze with a single technology.[B] no specific antibodies can effectively prevent protein variations.[C] it requires a great many years and efforts to put protein chips into practical use.[D] it is possible to make protein chips miniaturized and automated in protein separation.25."Just what... is anybody’s guess" in the last paragraph may be best interpreted as（本题分值：2分）【正确答案】A[A] "tKere’s no way of knowing for certain what the final form of protein chips will be".[B] "everyone can have a guess at the form that protein chips may finally take".[C] "the ultimate shape protein chips may take will go beyond most people’s expectation".[D] "anyone may form his/her opinion about what shape protei2005考研“考试虫”英语8套模拟试卷(三)1 相关内容:。
