　　El Nino （厄爾尼諾現(xiàn)象）

　　While some forecasting methods had limited SUCCESS predicting the 1997 E1 Nino a few months in advance，the Columbia University researchers say their method call predict large E1 Nino events up to two years in advance.That would be good news for governments，farmers and others seeking to plan for the droughts and heavy rainfall that El Nino can produce in various parts of the world.

　　Using a computer the researchers matched sea-surface temperatures to later El Nino occurrences between 1980 and 2000 and were then able to anticipate E1 Nino events dating back to1857， using prior sea-surface temperatures.The results were reported in the latest issue of the journal Nature.

　　The researchers say their method is not perfect， but Bryan C.Weare.a meteorologist at the University of California， Davis，who was not involved in the work，said it“suggests‘E1 Nino is indeed predictable.”

　　“This will probably convince others to search around more for even better methods.”said Weare.He added that the new method“makes it possible to predict El Nino at 1ong lead times.” Other models also use sea-surface temperatures， but they have not looked as far back because they need other data，which is only available for recent decades，Weare said.

　　The ability to predict the warming and cooling of the Pacitic is of immense importance'.The 1997 El Nino，for example，caused an estimated$20 billion in damage worldwide，offset by beneficial effects in other areas，said David Anderson，of the European Centre for Medium.Range Weather Forecasts in Reading England.The 1877 El Nino，meanwhile，coincided with a failure of the Indian monsoon and a famine that killed perhaps 40 million in India and China.prompting the development of seasonal forecasting，Anderson said.

　　When El Nino hit in 199 1 and 1997.200 million people were affected by flooding in China alone.according to a 2002 United Nations report.

　　While predicting smaller E1 Nino events remains tricky.the ability to predict larger ones should be increased to at least a year if the new method is confirmed.

　　E1 Nino tends to develop between April and June and reaches its peak between December and February.The warming tends to last between 9 and 1 2 months and occurs every two to seven years.

　　The new forecasting method does not predict any major El Nino events in the next two years， although a weak warming toward the end of this year is possible.

　　E1 Nino n.厄爾尼諾現(xiàn)象

　　Equatorial adj.赤道的

　　Occurrence n.發(fā)生

　　Meteorologist n.氣象學(xué)家

　　Icy Microbes

　　In ice that has sealed a salty Antarctic lake for more than 2，800 years， scientists have found frozen bacteria and algae that returned to life after thawing. The research may help in the search for life on Mars， which is thought to have subsurface lakes of ice.

　　A research team led by Peter Doran of the University of Illinois at Chicago drilled through more than 39 feet ice to collect samples of bacteria and algae. When Doran's team brought them back and warmed them up a bit， they sprang back to life.

　　Doran said the microbes have been age-dated at 2，800 years old， but even older microbes may live deeper in the ice sheet sealing the lake， and in the briny water below the ice. That deeper ice and the water itself will be cautiously sampled in a later expedition that will test techniques may one day be used on Mars.

　　Called Lake Vida， the 4.5-square ―― kilometer body is one of a series of lakes located in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica， some 2，200 kilometers due south of New Zealand. This lake has been known since the 1950s， but people ignored it because they thought it was just a big block of ice. While at the site for other research in the 1990s， Doran and his colleagues sent radar signals into the clear ice covering the lake and were surprised to find that 62 feet below there was a pool of liquid water that was about seven times more salty than seawater.

　　That prompted the researchers to return in 1996 with equipment to drill a hole down to within a few feet of the water layer. At the bottom of this hole， researchers harvested specimens of algae and bacteria.

　　The searchers will return in 2004 equipped with instruments that are sterilized. They will then drill through the full 62 feet of ice and sample some of the briny water from the lake for analysis. The water specimen will be cultured to see if it contains life. Specimens from the water are expected to be even older than the life forms extracted from the ice covering.

　　1. Paragraph 2 ___.

　　2. Paragraph 3 ___.

　　3. Paragraph 4 ___.

　　4. Paragraph 6 ___.

　　A. Significance of testing techniques for sampling microbes in the deep ice sheet

　　B. special features of lake Vida

　　C. later expedition on mars

　　D. 2004 revisit planned for collecting lake water specimen

　　E. Antarctic frozen life sampled and revived

　　F. Accidental discovery of ice-sealed lake water Antarctica

　　5. Scientists ignored lake Vida because they thought that a lake of ice ___.

　　6. Scientists expect that the life， if found in deeper water below the ice sheet， ____.

　　7. What the scientists will do in 2004 ___.

　　8. The salt concentration in the liquid water of Lake Vida ___.

　　A. is found to be a great deal higher than that of seawater

　　B. was of little scientific value

　　C. may be older than that collected below 39 sheet of ice

　　D. might have come from Mars

　　E. is to collect some briny lake water for analysis

　　F. may return to life sooner than microbes frozen in the surface ice.

　　Losing Weight

　　Girls as young as 1 0 years old are dieting and in danger of developing unhealthy attitudes

　　about weight，body image and food，a group of Toronto researchers reported Tuesday.

　　Their study of 2，279 girls aged 10 to 14 showed that while the vast majority had healthy

　　weights，nearly a third felt they were overweight and were trying to lose pounds.Even at the tender agez of 10，nearly 32 per cent of girls felt“too fat''and 31 per cent said they were trying to diet.

　　McVey，a researcher at.the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto，and her colleagues

　　analyzed data collected in a number of surveys of southern Ontario school girls between 1 993 and 2003，reporting their findings in Tuesday's issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

　　Nearly 80 per cent of the girls had a healthy body weight and only 7.2 per cent were

　　considered overweight using standard weight-to.height ratios.Most researchers suggest the rate of overweight children in this country is several times higher than that figure.

　　Nearly 30 per cent of the girls reported they Were currently trying to lose weight，though few admitted to dangerous behavior such as self-induced vomiting.

　　Still，a test that measured attitudes towards eating showed 10.5 per cent of survey

　　Participants were already at risk of developing an eating disorder.

　　‘'We're not talking about kids who've been prescribed a diet because they're above average weight or overweight. We're talking about children who are within a healthy weight range.And they have taken it upon themselves to diet to lose weight，“McVey said，acknowledging she found the rates disturbing.She said striking a balance between healthy weights and healthy attitudes towards food and body image is a complex task，with no easy solutions.

　　Will Quality Eat up the U.S. Lead in Software？

　　If U.S. software companies don't pay more attention to quality， they could kiss their business good-bye. Both India and Brazil are developing a world-class software industry. Their weapon is quality and one of their jobs is to attract the top U.S. quality specialists whose voices are not listened to in their country.

　　Already， of the world's 12 software houses that have earned the highest rating in the world， seven are in India. That's largely because they have used new methodologies rejected by American software specialists. For example， for decades， quality specialists， W. Edwards Deming and J. M. Juran had urged U.S. software companies to change their attitudes to quality. But their quality call mainly fell on deaf ears in the U.S ―― but not in Japan. By the 1970s and 1980s， Japan was grabbing market share with better， cheaper products. They used Deming's and Juran's ideas to bring down the cost of good quality to as little as 5% of total production costs. In U.S. factories， the cost of quality then was 10 times as high： 50%. In software， it still is.

　　Watts S. Humphrey spent 27 years at IBM heading up software production and then quality assurance. But his advice was seldom paid attention to. He retired from IBM in 1986. In 1987， he worked out a system for assessing and improving software quality. It has proved its value time and again. For example， in 1990 the cost of quality at Raytheon Electronics Systems was almost 60% of total software production costs. It tell to 15% in 1996 and has since further dropped to below 10%.

　　Like Deming and Juran， Humphrey seems to be winning more praises overseas than at home. The Indian government and several companies have just founded the Watts Humphrey Software Quality Institute at the Software Technology Park in Chennai， India. Let's hope that U.S. lead in software will not be eaten up by its quality problems.

　　1. What country has more highest-rating companies in the world than any other country has？

　　A） India.

　　B） The US.

　　C） Brazil.

　　D） Germany.

　　2. Which of the following statements about Humphrey is tree？

　　A） He is now still an IBM employer.

　　B） He has worked for IBM for 37 years.

　　C） India honors him highly.

　　D） The US pays much attention to his quality advice.

　　3.By what means did Japan grab its large market share by the 1970s and the 1980s？

　　A）Its advertising was most successful.

　　B）Its products were cheaper in price and better in quality.

　　C） The US hardware industry was lagging behind.

　　D） Japan hired a lot of Indian software specialists.

　　4. What does the founding of the Watts Humphrey Software Quality Institute symbolize？

　　A） It symbolizes the US determination to move ahead with its software.

　　B） It symbolizes the Japanese efforts to solve the software quality problem.

　　C） It symbolizes the Indian ambition to take the lead in software.

　　D） It symbolizes the Chinese policy on importing software.

　　5. What is the writer worrying about？

　　A） Many US software specialists are working for Japan.

　　B） The quality problem has become a worldwide problem.

　　C）India and Japan are joining hands to compete with the US.

　　D） The US will no longer be the first software player in the world.

　　Young Female Chimps Outlearn Their Brothers

　　Young female chimps are faster and better learners than young male chimps，sugges a new

　　study，echoing learning differences seen in human girls and boys.

　　While young male chimps pass their time playing，young female chimps carefully study their mothers.As a result，they learn how to fish for'tasty termite snacks over two years before the boys.

　　Elizabeth Lonsdorf，now at Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago，US，and colleagues at the University of Minnesota，Saint Paul，spent four years.watching how young chimpanzees in the Gombe National Park in Tanzania4 learned“cultural behavior”。

　　The sex differences in learning behavior were“consistent and strikingly apparent”，says the team.The researchers point out that similar differences are seen in human children with regard to skills such as writing.“A sex―based learning differences may therefore date back0 at 1east to the 1ast common ancestor of chimpanzees and humans，”they write in the journal Nature.

　　Chimps make flexible tools'：from vegetation and then insert them into termite mounds.extract them and then munch the termites clinging onto the t001.The researchers used video cameras to record this feeding behavior and found that each chimp mother had her own technique.such as how she used tools of different lengths.

　　Analysis of the six infants whose ages were known showed that girl chimps were an average Of 3 1 months old when they succeeded in fishing out their termites.where the boy chimps were aged 58 months on average.Females were also more skillful at getting out more termites with every dip and used techniques similar to their mothers while males did not.

　　Instead of studying their mothers，the boy chimps spent a significantly greater amount of time frolicking around the termite mound.Behaviors such as playing or swinging might help the male infants later in life when typically male activities like hunting or fighting for dominance become

　　important，suggest the researchers.

　　Lonsdorf adds that there are just two main sources of animal protein for chimps ― the termites or colobus monkeys.“Mature males often hunt monkeys up flees.but females are almost

　　always either pregnant or burdened with a clinging infants.This makes hunting difficult，“ she says.”Adult females spend more time fishing for termites than males.''So becoming proficient at termite fishing'could mean.adult females eat better，“ They can watch their offspring at the same time.The young of both sexes seem to pursue activities related to their adult sex roles at a very young age.”

　　1.Why do young female chimps learn faster than young male chimps at fishing for termites？

　　A）Because young female chimps don't play with their brothers.

　　B）Because young female chimps begin to study their mothers earlier.

　　C）Because young male chimps never learn to fish for termites.

　　第二部分：閱讀判斷（每題1分，共七分）

　　閱讀下面這篇短文，短文后列出了七個句子，請根據(jù)短文的內(nèi)容對每個句子作出判斷。如果該句提供的是正確信息，請在答題卡上把A涂黑；如果該句提供的是錯誤信息，請在答題卡上把B涂黑；如果該句的信息文章中沒有提及，請在答題卡上把C涂黑

　　1.B.分析：利用句子中的特征詞Columbia University researchers 和a few months in advance作為答案線索，這樣發(fā)現(xiàn)答案相關(guān)句：While some forecasting methods had limited SUCCESS predicting the 1997 E1 Nino a few months in advance，the Columbia University researchers say their method call predict large E1 Nino events up to two years in advance.（問題句說“提前幾個月”，而原文說“最遠(yuǎn)能提前到兩年”，因此可見問題句的內(nèi)容中有與原文不一致的地方，因此判斷該句“不正確”。）

　　2. A.分析：利用句子中出現(xiàn)的核心結(jié)構(gòu)EI Nino occurrences 和 sea―surface temperatures作為答案線索，這樣發(fā)現(xiàn)答案相關(guān)句：Using a computer the researchers matched sea-surface temperatures to later El Nino occurrences between 1980 and 2000 （該句說“研究者使用計算機把1980年和2000年之間發(fā)生的厄爾尼諾現(xiàn)象和在該現(xiàn)象發(fā)生前的海表溫度進行比較”，可見還需要辨別該句中的the researchers是否就是“The Columbia University researchers”，而前文中出現(xiàn)的就是“The Columbia University researchers”，因此判斷問題句的內(nèi)容都在原文中有呼應(yīng)的內(nèi)容，因此判斷該句的說法正確。）

　　3. C.分析：該題涉及到的內(nèi)容和前面出現(xiàn)的問題有關(guān)，注意到題干中出現(xiàn)的特征詞（the first），因此判斷對該詞的確認(rèn)是關(guān)鍵。利用該詞作為答案線索，這樣發(fā)現(xiàn)文章中沒有這個詞出現(xiàn)。因為該句是概括總結(jié)句，因此再利用句子出現(xiàn)的核心結(jié)構(gòu)sea-surface temperatures 和the past EI Nino occurrences作為答案線索，發(fā)現(xiàn)涉及這兩個結(jié)構(gòu)的句子所表達的句意都與問題句的內(nèi)容無關(guān)，因此判斷問題句的說法“沒提到”。

　　4. C. 分析：利用句子中出現(xiàn)的特征詞Weare作為答案線索，這樣發(fā)現(xiàn)答案涉及到Weare的句子都與問題句的內(nèi)容―“Weare對厄爾尼諾現(xiàn)象的研究所作出的貢獻得到了氣象學(xué)家的高度贊譽”無關(guān)。

　　5. B.分析：利用句子中出現(xiàn)的特征詞Chinese report， in 1 99 1 and 1 997和200 million Chinese people作為答案線索，這樣發(fā)現(xiàn)答案相關(guān)句：When El Nino hit in 199 1 and 1997， 200 million people were affected by flooding in China alone， according to a 2002 United Nations report.（但該句的內(nèi)容與問題句的內(nèi)容不一致。）

　　6. A. 分析：該問題句內(nèi)容和結(jié)構(gòu)都較簡單，句子中出現(xiàn)了一個數(shù)字（8個月），因此猜測對于這個數(shù)字的辨別是解題的關(guān)鍵。借助eight months 和句子中的核心詞peak作為答案線索，這樣找到答案相關(guān)句： E1 Nino tends to develop between April and June and reaches its peak between December and February（借助該句含義可以推出“El Nino需要大約8個月達到峰值”）

　　7. C.分析：利用句子中出現(xiàn)的核心詞A special institute 和 America作為答案線索，這樣發(fā)現(xiàn)文章中根本就沒有提到“在美國建立一所特別的研究院”，因此該句為“沒提到”。

　　第三部分：概括大意與完成句子 （每題1分，共8分）

　　閱讀下面這篇短文，短文后有2項測試任務(wù)：（1）1――4 題要求從所給的6個選項中為第2――5 段每段選擇1個正確的小標(biāo)題；（2）第5――8題要求從所給的6個選項中選擇4個正確的選項，分別完成每個句子。請將答案涂在答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上。

　　Icy Microbes

　　1. E. 分析：根據(jù)段落中主要句子中的核心短語結(jié)構(gòu)（“collect samples”和E中的“sampled”； “brought them back”和“sprang back to life” 和E中的“revived”呼應(yīng)）語義判斷答案。

　　2. A. 分析：根據(jù)段落中主題句（段落最后一句），判斷答案A.該主題句的含義是“實驗冰層深處提取生命樣本的技術(shù)可能有一天會用于火星生命的探索”

　　3. F. 分析： 根據(jù)段落中核心詞（lake和Antarctica）的出現(xiàn)把答案范圍鎖定在（B和F）上，但B強調(diào)的是特征，但段落中沒有該詞義的反映，而段落的最后一句談到“驚奇發(fā)現(xiàn)”，所以F是答案。

　　4. D.分析：根據(jù)段落中主要句子中的核心短語語義（The searchers will return in 2004（研究者將再004年返回）， The water specimen will be cultured（將培養(yǎng)水下微生物的樣品））判斷答案D（計劃在2004年將再次返回以收集湖水中微生物的樣本）。

　　5. B. 分析：根據(jù)搭配句意（科學(xué)家曾經(jīng)忽視了Vida湖，因為他們認(rèn)為一湖冰沒有什么科學(xué)研究的價值）選擇答案。

　　6. C.分析：選擇C的依據(jù)參見第3段的第1句。

　　7.E.分析：選擇E的依據(jù)參見第6段的第6句。

　　8.A. 分析：選擇A的依據(jù)是第4段的最后一句。

　　第四部分：閱讀理解（每題3分，共45分）

　　下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道題，每道題后面有4個選項。請仔細(xì)閱讀短文并根據(jù)短文回答其后面的問題，從4個選項中選擇1個最佳答案涂在答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上。

　　第1篇

　　Losing Weight

　　1. D 文章第二段中的第一句和第四段中的第一句先后提到，接受調(diào)查之女孩中的絕大

　　多數(shù)體重都在健康范圍內(nèi)。

　　2. C 文章的第二段提到，有將近三分之一的女孩認(rèn)為自己超重。

　　3. C 文章的第二段提到，接受調(diào)查的是年齡為10歲至14歲的女孩。

　　4. B 文章的第三段提到，主要研究人員McVey女士在一家醫(yī)院工作。

　　5. A 文章的第六段提到，有關(guān)體重、身體形象和食品等的不健康態(tài)度使得一些女孩子

　　面臨飲食失調(diào)的危險。 、

　　第2篇

　　Will Quality Eat up the U.S. Lead in Software？

　　1. A.第2段第1句是答案依據(jù)。

　　2. C.文章倒數(shù)第2段說到，印度專門建立一個以Humphrey名字命名的軟件質(zhì)量研究所，可見對他的重視，所以選項C是正確的。

　　3.B.利用年代1970s， 1980s作為答案線索詞，這樣在第2段倒數(shù)第4句找到答案。

　　4. C.利用題干中的專有名詞Software Quality Institute作為答案線索詞，確認(rèn)答案為C： 與印度有關(guān)。

　　5. D.該題與文章的主題相關(guān)，借助文章的標(biāo)題和文章中的最后一句話判斷D是答案。

　　第3篇

　　1.B 根據(jù)第二段的內(nèi)容，雄性小猩猩將時間用來玩耍，而雌性小猩猩則研究她們母親的行為，因此，她們比雄性小猩猩阜兩年學(xué)會捕食白蟻。A、D文中沒有提到，c與問題沒有關(guān)系。

　　2.B 第五段的第一個句子告訴我們，猩猩用蔬菜作成方便的工具，用來捕食白蟻。A，c和D均是錯的。

　　3.C 該段告訴我們，對六只小猩猩的分析表明，雌性小猩猩不但較早學(xué)會捕食白蟻，而且能比雄性小猩猩更為熟練地捕食到更多的白蟻。所以，B和D都不是正確答案。A的 內(nèi)容文中沒有提到。

　　4.D A，B和c是錯誤的，因為文中沒有提到雄性小猩猩喜歡獵食和打斗，也沒有提及玩耍能使他們更健康。D是正確答案。第七段最后一句說，他們喜歡玩耍的行為有助于他們長大后的生活，因為，到那時，他們要獵食和爭權(quán)奪位。

　　5.A 根據(jù)最后一段的內(nèi)容，成年猩猩主要獵食生活在樹上的一種叫做colobus（疣猴）的猴子，而雌性猩猩捕食白蟻。所以A是正確選項。B、C和D的內(nèi)容均可在該段中找到。

　　第五部分：補全短文（每題2分，共10分）

　　閱讀下面的短文，文章中有5處空白，文章后有6組文字，請根據(jù)文章的內(nèi)容選擇5組文字，將其分別放會文章原有位置，以恢復(fù)文章原貌。請將答案涂在答題卡相應(yīng)的位置。

　　Weight Worries May Start Early for Slim Women

　　1. B 文章的第一段已經(jīng)提到，身體瘦削的女性自認(rèn)為身體肥胖的原因可謂不少，但一項新的研究表明，對身體形象所存有的不正確的態(tài)度時常有可能與兒時的經(jīng)歷有關(guān)。文章的第二段是對第一段內(nèi)容的進一步展開與細(xì)化。

　　2. D 本空的前一句講到，體重不達標(biāo)逐漸被普遍視為“理想的”女性身材。因此，“研究表明，許多正常體重之女性希望自己體重再輕些”作為接下來的一句是十分合適的。

　　3. F 本空之前的一句提到，調(diào)查是以發(fā)放問卷進行的。因此，接下來的一句應(yīng)涉及問卷的內(nèi)容。

　　4. A 文章的第二段已經(jīng)提到，造成對身體形象存有不正確之態(tài)度的危險因素是與兒時的經(jīng)歷相關(guān)聯(lián)的，其中包括：父親或者母親生病、特別年幼時便開始酗酒或是過性生活。空格之前的一句提到了兒時經(jīng)歷父親或是母親生病，接下來的句子肯定涉及特別年幼時便開始酗酒或是過性生活的經(jīng)歷。

　　5. C 文章的最后一句是對研究結(jié)果的重述。

　　第六部分：完型填空 （每題1分，共15分）

　　閱讀下面的短文，文中有15處空白，每處空白給出了4個選項，請根據(jù)短文的內(nèi)容從4個選項中選擇1個最佳答案，并涂在答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上。

　　1. B 從上下文的意思判斷，largely（很大程度上）是最合適的選擇。'unlikely（不太可能地）、tremendously（極大地）或vastly（巨大地）所表達的意思與上下文的意思不相配。

　　2. D 四個選項中只有situation最合適。tool（工具）、factor（因素）、fact（事實）都離上下文的意思太遠(yuǎn)。

　　3. C 從上下文的意思判斷，這里涉及的是運作成本，選cost是對的。

　　4. A 從上下文的意思判斷，與labeI搭配的動詞是carry（帶有，持有），而bring the label （將標(biāo)簽帶來）、change the label（換標(biāo)簽）、return the label（歸還標(biāo)簽）都不合適。

　　5. D 文章的主題是save energy at home，所以賬單應(yīng)該是energy bills.

　　6. B 本段提供save electricity的辦法。換掉的三個費電的燈泡應(yīng)該是最常用的燈泡，所以要選most.

　　7. A 熒光燈的優(yōu)點前面說了一條，下面說的是第二條。兩條之間的連詞應(yīng)該是moreover （此外）。

　　8. C set the thermostats是“用溫度調(diào)節(jié)裝置設(shè)定溫度”的意思。其他三個選項都不合適。

　　9. A comfortable意思是“感到舒服的”，也就是合適的溫度。其他三個選項common（普 通的）、convenient（方便的）、dramatic（引人注目的）都與上下文表達的意思不相配。

　　10.C 上下文表達的意思應(yīng)該是“不用時，電氣裝置要關(guān)掉”，所以要選用turn off.Turn over（移交）、turn on（開啟）、turn out（出現(xiàn)，生產(chǎn)）都與上下文表達的意思不相配。

　　兒。D 前半句說要關(guān)燈，后半句當(dāng)然是when leaving a room.其他三個選項均不符合本句的句意。

　　12.B “choose all electric utility that uses renewable power…”中的utility和renewable限制了選詞的范圍，power station（發(fā)電站）、power supply（電力供應(yīng)）、power shortage（電力短缺）都不合適，選用power resources（能源）就對了。

　　13.A 本段第一句說，照明和取熱的能源right outside your windows，指的就是陽光。修飾days的形容詞應(yīng)該是bright（陽光燦爛的），與后面出現(xiàn)的open blinds也合拍。

　　14.D 上一句表達的意思是要利用陽光，本句談的是solar heating，所以選用sunlight是正確的。

　　15.C 溫度的度量單位是“度”，英語就是degree.
