9、：每空不超过6个单词。 Many Americans concerned about air pollution are demanding cleaner and cheaper supplies of energy. The demand has resulted in increased research about ethanol fuel. Ethanol is an alcohol that can be mixed with gas. It burns up most of the pollutants in gas. It replaced some of the chemic

10、als that are known to cause cancer. Some experts say that in the future ethanol will replace some of the oil imported into America. Today ethanol is less than one percent of the total American fuel supply. The head of the National Corn Growers Association, Kieve Hars, says ethanol will provide twent

11、y five percent of the fuel supply by 2010. The organization is involved in the production of ethanol because it can be made form corn. One company in American Midwest says it is starting to produce ethanol because of demands form people and from the government. The Congress approved the Clean Air Ac

At Texas University, Professor Mark Holzapple produces ethanol from materials found in solid waste. He has developed a way to turn material

13、s like paper into simple sugar. He then uses yeast (酵母) to turn the sugar into ethanol. Professor Holzappple says two hundred liters of ethanol fuel can be produced from one ton of solid waste. A professor at the University of Arkansas, John Geddie, is exploring another way to make ethanol. He is us

17、第一节：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 注意：每个空格填1个单词。Searching for the truthCollecting mid writing news is like researching in history: the best information comes from those who were there at the time. So if we want to study tile history of China in the sixth century AD, we look at the writings of the people w

18、ho lived then. They are called the primary sources because they tell us what it was like to live then. People at a much later date who write about the same events are called the secondary sources. For example, when we read the original writings of Jia Sixie on agriculture, we are reading a primary s

19、ource; when we read about Jia Sixie in our textbook we are reading secondary source because the passage was written about him and his ideas many years after he died.When we make news we use primary and secondary sources. We can see this most clearly in TV programmes. As we watch the news on TV, the

20、person presenting the programme in the studio is the secondary source( because he tells us about the news) and the reporter in. Iraq or Washington is the primary source (because he is telling us about what is actually happening there). Without these reporters acting as primary sources, you would nev

21、er find out what really happened in a war, earthquake, sports meeting, concert or festival. These reporters explain what is happening so we have a clearer idea of what is going on there. They often take photographers with them who act as primary source by giving pictures of events.In a newspaper the

22、 position is different because these two roles are often combined. This means a reporter who investigates a story may be the same person who writes it. If this happens, the reporter is both the primary and the secondary source. But the photographer who works with him/her is still a primary, source.O

23、ne of the reasons that it is important to separate primary and secondary sources is that they help us to decide what is a fact and what is an opinion. A fact is something that everybody agrees has happened. An opinion is somebodys idea of what happened. So facts and opinions are often mixed in any r

24、eport, whether in a newspaper or on TV.What have you learnt from the above passage?Primary SourcePrimary sources are the writing of the people who lived at (71)_time and offer an inside view of a particular eventSecondary sourceSecondary sources are the writings of the people who write about the sam

It is the first visit by a Chinese premier to Singapore in eight years. In the arrival statement, Wen said he is looking forward to the meeting with Singapore on

28、ways to deepen East Asian cooperation between two nations so as to contribute to the building of a peaceful, harmonious relationship.Premier Wen Jiabao and Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong agreed to jointly develop an environmentally friendly city in northeastern China.

29、del for sustainable development, a Singapore government statement said. The “Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city” will be developed by a joint venture (合资) formed by Chinese and Singapore companies. “This eco-city, to be built in Tianjin, will become another highlight in our relations,” Wen said after s

Chinas economic planning agency issued a set of guidelines earlier this month welcoming foreign investment in environmentally friendly areas such as recycling, “clean” industries and environmental protection.Bilateral (双边的) relations between China and Singapore have seen big progress even tho

32、ugh the two countries established diplomatic ties (外交关系) only 17 years ago, Wen said during his talks with Lee.China and Singapore have also kept close contact and coordination (协调) on regional issues, he added.

People still move for these reasons, but new reasons for h

36、uman migration are arising, such as job relocation(重新安置) and overpopulation. Three million migrants are moving from poor countries to wealthier ones each year, and increasingly, their destination is a neighboring country in developing parts of the world. People are moving within the developing world

37、 for the same reasons as they migrate to wealthier nations. People from poor countries are going to less poor countries, fleeing wars and conflicts. They are also responding to population pressures because some countries are densely populated, and they often have high population growth. Those people

38、 need to go somewhere else. There are three main reasons why people move. The basic categories and percentages are as follows, according to the Current Population Surveys (CPS): Family-related reasons account for 26.3%, including changes in marital（婚姻的） status, establishing a household and other fam

39、ily reasons; work-related reasons 16.2%, including job transfer, retirement, and other job-related reasons; housing-related reasons 51.6%, including new and better houses, better neighborhood, cheaper housing and other housing reasons; the remaining 5.9% of other reasons are attending college, the c

40、hange of climate and health reasons. Americans have been migrating south and west for decades in search of better job opportunities and warmer climates. They have also been moving to places a little far from cities, in search of bigger yards and houses, lower crime rates and better schools. In 1950,

41、 nearly a fifth of the population lived in the nations 20 largest cities. In 2006, it was about one in ten. Thats why many American people say, “Big Cities Shrink as People Move South, West.” Between March 2005 and March 2007, 73.4 million Americans moved. Fifty-six percent of these moves were withi

42、n the same country. Twenty percent were between counties but in the same state. Nineteen percent were moves to a different state. Some families even went abroad. Title: People on the 71 Lead-inThroughout human 72 , people have migrated across continents.An 73 number of people from poor countries are

45、dren have reading problems in a different part of the brain used in reading alphabet-based languages. This shows that the learning disorder dyslexia ( inability to read properly) is not the same in very culture and does not have a universal biological cause.Scientists described the results as “ very

46、 important and revolutionary”. While dyslexia has certain common roots, they said, they now have some proof that this kind of functional problem works differently according to the different demands that Western and Eastern languages place on the brain.Dyslexia is a common developmental disorder in w

47、hich people of normal intelligence have difficulty learning to read, spell and master other language skills.The results suggest that treating dyslexia around the world probably will require different treatments.“Reading is complex,” said Guinevere Eden, Georgetown University professor. “ This shows

48、we need to be more open-minded about diverse treatment approaches.”Its origins are complex. There appears to be a genetic aspect to the illness. It also may result from brain injury before birth that changes visual and hearing pathways in the brain.Earlier brain scans show that English-reading dysle

However, according to the new study, reading Chinese uses some different parts of the brain located in the left-front of the brain. It is associated with symbol interpretatio

This dream began to seem possible when high-flying rockets were built in the early 1900s.In 1903

53、 a Russian teacher named Konstantin Tsiolkovsky figured out how to use rockets for space travel. His plan was the first one in rocket science to use correct scientific calculation. About 30 years later, a U.S. scientist named Robert Goddard built the first rockets that could reach high altitudes. Du

54、ring World War II, German scientists built large rockets that could travel very far and carry dangerous explosives. After the war, scientists from Germany went to the United States and the Soviet Union to help those countries build space rockets.These two countries were soon racing to get to space f

55、irst. Each of these countries wanted to prove that it was stronger and more advanced than the other one. Both countries also had powerful bombs. People in the United States were worried when the Soviets were first to launch a space satellite, which was called Sputnik. The Soviets were also first to

56、send a person into space. Yury Gagarin orbited the earth in the Vostok I spaceship in 1961.The US government set a goal for its space program to be the first country to put a person on the Moon. The U.S. space program built a series of Apollo spaceship. These vehicles were powered by huge Saturn 5 r

57、ockets. In 1969 Apollo II took three men to the moon successfully. Nell Armstrong became the first person to walk on the Moon.The Soviets may have lost the race to fly people to the Moon, but they built the first space station in 1971. The United States also built a space station. The space stations

58、 allowed people to live and work in space. Then the Soviet Union and the United States cooperated to hook two spaceships together in space. This action ended the space race. Today a much larger space station, built by several countries together, orbits Earth.Another new way to go to space is by spac
