14、ter and more casual than friendships among people from other cultures. It is not uncommon for Americans to have only one close friend during their lifetime, and consider other “friends” to be just social acquaintances. This attitude probably has something to do with American mobility and the fact th

15、at Americans do not like to be dependent on other people. They tend to “compartmentalize” (划分) friendships, having “friends at work”, “friends on the softball team”, “family friends”, etc.Because the United States is a highly active society, full of movement and change. people always seem to be on t

16、he go. In this highly charged atmosphere. Americans can sometimes seem brusque (无礼旳) or impatient. They want to get to know you as quickly as possible and then move on to something else. Sometimes, early on, they will ask you questions that you may feel are very personal. No insult is intended; the

17、questions usually grow out of their genuine interest or curiosity, and their impatience to get to the heart of the matter. And the same goes for you. If you do not understand certain American behavior or you want to know more about them, do not hesitate to ask them questions about themselves. Americ

18、ans are usually eager to explain all about their country or anything “American” in which you may be interested. So much so in fact that you may become tired of listening. It doesnt matter, because Americans tend to be uncomfortable with silence during a conversation. They would rather talk about the

19、 weather or the latest sports scores, for example, than deal with silence.On the other hand, dont expect Americans to be knowledgeable about international geography or world affairs, unless those subjects directly involve the United States. Because the United States is not surrounded by many other n

20、ations, some Americans tend to ignore the rest of the world.46.The general topic of the passage is _.A. American societyB. American cultureC. Americans personalityD. Americans activities47.Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. Friendships among Americans tend to b

21、e casual.B. Americans do not like to depend on other people.C. Americans always seem to be on the go.D. Americans know a lot about international affairs.48.The phrase “highly charged” (para.2) most probably means _.A. highly responsibleB. extremely freeC. full of mobility and changeD. very cheerful4

22、9.It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. Americans character is affected by their social and geographical environmentB. Americans want to participate in all kinds of activitiesC. curiosity is characteristic of AmericansD. Americans do not know how to deal with silence50.According to the passa

23、ge, Americans tend to ignore the rest of the world because _.A. they are too proud of themselvesB. they are not interested in other countriesC. they are too busy to learn about other countriesD. their country does not have many neighboring nationsKey: C, C, D, C, APassage 2Want a glimpse of the futu

24、re of health care? Take a look at the way the various networks of people involved in patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patientno matter where he or she may be.Online doctors offering advice based on standardiz

25、ed symptoms are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis (telemedicine) will be based on real physiological data from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using an off-the-shelf (现成旳) PDA (personal data assistance) such as a Palm Pilo

26、t plus a mobile phone, it is perfectly feasible to transmit a patients vital signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment in a first-aid kit (急救包) the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.Other medical technology groups are working on applying

27、 telemedicine to rural care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool For disaster responseespecially after earthquakes. Overall, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and expertise.But there is one problem. Bandwidth is the limiting factor for transmitting co

28、mplex medical images around the worldCT scans being one of the biggest bandwidth consumers. Communications satellites may be able to cope with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes, wars or famines. But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and third-gen

29、eration mobile phones for the future of distributed medical intelligence.Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications, the new technologies should usher in (迎来) an era when telemedicine and the s

30、haring of medical information, expert opinion and diagnosis are common.51.The basis of remote diagnosis will be _.A. personal data assistanceB. standardized symptoms of a patientC. real physiological data from a patientD. transmitted complex medical images52.The sentence “the cry asking whether ther

31、e was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past” means _.A. patients used to cry and ask if there was a doctor in the houseB. now people probably would not ask if there is a doctor in the houseC. patients are now still asking if there is a doctor in the houseD. in the past people often

32、 cried and asked if there was a doctor in the house53.All the following statements are true EXCEPT that _.A. flood is not among the disasters mentioned in the passageB. it is now feasible to transmit a patients vital signs over telephoneC. telemedicine is being used by many medical teams as a tool f

33、or disaster responseD. the trend in applying telemedicine is toward providing global access to medical data54.The word “problem” in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that _.A. CT scans are one of the biggest bandwidth consumersB. there are not enough mobile phones for distributing medical inte

34、lligenceC. communications satellites can only cope with the short-term needs during disastersD. bandwidth is not adequate to transmit complex medical images around the world55.A proper title for the passage may be _.A. The Online Doctor Is InB. Improvement in CommunicationsC. How to Make Remote Diag

35、nosisD. Application of TelemedicinePassage 3Pictures in the British papers this week of Prince William, Prince Charless 18-year-old son, cleaning toilets overseas, have led to a surge of altruism (利他主义). Raleigh International, the charity that organized his trip, has seen inquiries about voluntary w

36、ork abroad rise by 30%. But the image of idealistic youth that William presents no longer reflects the reality of the volunteer force. Its getting older and older.Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) has about 2,000 volunteers in the field around the world. After a dip in interest in the mid-1990s, appl

37、ications to work abroad are at record levels. Last year 7,645 people submitted applications, and 920 successfully negotiated the VSO selection process and were sent abroad. When the organization was founded in 1959, the average volunteer was in his early 20s. Now, the average age is 35, and set to r

38、ise further.Partly, that is because there are more older people who want to do VSO. More people take early retirement; more, says the chief executive of VSO, “still feel that they have more to give and are in good health”. And the demands of the African and Asian countries where most of the voluntee

39、rs go are changing, too. Their educational standards have risen over the past couple of decades, so they want people with more qualifications, skills and experience.BESO (British Executive Service Overseas) recruits executives and businessmen with at least 15 years experience for short-term contract

40、 work overseas. It organizes 500 placements (工作安顿) a year, and at the moment supply is surpassing demand. A BESO spokesman said that the organization is limited by funding rather than a lack of volunteers.”Enthusiastic but unqualified students do not impress as much as they once did alongside accoun

41、tants, managers and doctors. The typical volunteer, these days, has been in full-time employment for at least five years and is highly qualified. And the profession which provides the biggest portion of volunteers is educationheadmasters and school inspectors as well as classroom teachers.56.Accordi

42、ng to the passage, the volunteers _.A. are becoming fewerB. are getting older and olderC. are mostly studentsD. are inexperienced and unqualified57.All the statements are true about Prince William EXCEPT that _.A. his trip was organized by a government institutionB. his trip has triggered a surge of

43、 altruismC. he is not a representative volunteer in ageD. he presents the image of idealistic youth58.From the second paragraph we can know that _.A. the average volunteer is not much older now than forty years agoB. the number of applications to work abroad declined in the mid-1990sC. there were mo

44、re applications to work abroad in the early 1990s than in the late 1990sD. of those who have submitted applications a majority have been chosen and sent abroad59.There are more older people who want to do VSO because _.I. more people take early retirementII. more older people feel they are in good h

45、ealthIII. the foreign countries where the volunteers go want people with more qualifications, skills and experienceA. I onlyB. II onlyC. I and IID. I, II and III60.According to the last paragraph, the typical volunteer may be _.A. a highly qualified headmaster or teacherB. an enthusiastic but unqual

46、ified young studentC. a well-experienced accountant, manager, or doctorD. an executive or businessman with at least 15 years experienceKey: B, A, B, D, APassage 4With only about 1,000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save the endangered species. Thats a m

47、ove similar to what a Texas A&M University researcher has been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noahs Ark”Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A&Ms College of Veterinary Medicine and a pioneer in embryo (胚胎) transfer work and related procedures, says he salutes the Chinese

48、 effort and “I wish them all the best success possible. Its a worthwhile project, certainly not an easy one, and its very much like what were attempting here at Texas A&Mto save animals from extinction.”Noahs Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos, semen (精子) and DNA of endangered animals and stor

49、ing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Kraemer says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.It is estimated that as many as 2,000 species of mammals, birds and reptiles will become extinct over the next 100 years. Th

50、e panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead Female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.The en

51、tire procedure could take from three to Five years to complete.“The nuclear transfer of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy. It takes

52、a long time and its difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Missyplicity Project at Texas A&M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.“They are

53、 trying to do something thats never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noahs Ark. Were both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly applaud their effort and theres a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. Its a research that is very much needed.”61.The

54、 aim of “Noahs Ark” project is to _.A. implant embryo into a host animalB. salute the Chinese efforts in saving pandasC. save endangered animals from extinctionD. introduce cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit62.How long will the Chinese panda-cloning project

55、take according to the passage?A. 1 year.B. 3 to 5 years.C. 2 years.D. 25 years.63.The word “groundbreaking” (para.7) can be interpreted as _.A. essentially newB. pioneeringC. evolutionaryD. epoch-making64.What could be the major problem in cloning pandas according to Professor Kraemer?A. Lack of ava

56、ilable panda eggs.B. Lack of host animals.C. Lack of qualified researchers.D. Lack of funds.65.The best title for the passage may be _.A. Chinathe Native Place of Pandas ForeverB. Chinas Efforts to Clone PandasC. Chinas First Cloned PandaD. Exploring the Possibility to Clone PandasKey: C, D, A, B, B

57、Passage 5If there is one thing scientists hate to hear. it is that the game is over. Raised on the belief of an endless voyage of discovery, they recoil (畏缩) from the suggestion that most of the best things have already been located. If they have, todays scientists can hope to contribute no more tha

58、n a few grace notes to the symphony of science.A book to be published in Britain this week, The End of Science, argues persuasively that this is the case. Its author, John Horgan, is a senior writer for Scientific American magazine, who has interviewed many of todays leading scientists and science p

59、hilosophers. The shock of realizing that science might be over came to him, he says, when he was talking to Oxford mathematician and physicist Sir Roger Penrose.The End of Science provoked a wave of denunciation (训斥) in the United States last year. “The reaction has been one of complete shock and di

60、sbelief,” Mr. Horgan says.The real question is whether any remaining unsolved problems, of which there are plenty, lend themselves to universal solutions. If they do not, then the focus of scientific discovery is already narrowing. Since the triumphs of the 1960sthe genetic code, plate tectonics (板块

61、构造说), and the microwave background radiation that went a long way towards proving the Big Bang genuine scientific revolutions have been scarce. More scientists are now alive, spending more money on research, than ever. Yet most of the great discoveries of the 19th and 20th centuries were made before

62、 the appearance of state Sponsorship, when the scientific enterprise was a fraction of its present size.Were the scientists who made these discoveries brighter than todays? That seems unlikely. A far more reasonable explanation is that fundamental science has already entered a period of diminished r

63、eturns. “Look, dont get me wrong,” says Mr. Horgan. “There are lots of important things still to study, and applied science and engineering can go on for ever. I hope we get a cure for cancer, and for mental disease though there are few real signs of progress.”66.The sentence “most of the best things have already been located” could mean _.A. most of the best things remain to be changedB. most of the best things have already been changedC. most secrets of the world have already been discoveredD. there have never been so many best things waiting
