Mother Nature Shows Her Strength
Tornadoes(龍卷風(fēng))and heavy thunderstorms moved across the Great Lakes and into
Trumbull County on Saturday evening．The storms were dramatic and dangerous．
George Snyder was driving the fire truck down Route 88 when he first noticed that a funnel
(漏斗狀的)cloud was behind him．“I stopped the truck and watched the funnel cloud．It was
about 100 feet off the ground and I saw it go up and down for a while．It was moving toward
Bradley Road and then suddenly it disappeared．”Snyder said．
Snyder only saw one of the funnel clouds that passed through northeastern 0hio on
Saturday．In Trumbull County，a tornado turned trees onto their sides．Some trees fell onto
houses and cars．Other trees fell into telephone and electrical wires as they went down．
Amanda Sym check was having a party when the storm began．“I knew something was
wrong, ”he said．“I saw the sky go green and pink(粉紅色)．Then it sounded like a train
rushing toward the house．I started crying and told everyone to go to the basement for
protection．”
The tornado caused a 10t of damage to cars and houses in the area．It will take a long time
and much money to repair everything．There was also serious water damage from the
thunderstorms．The heavy rains and high wind caused the power to go out in many homes．
The storms caused serious flooding in areas near the river．More than four inches of rain fell
in parts of Trumbull County．The river was so high that the water ran into streets and houses．
Many streets had to be closed to Cars and trucks because of the high water．This made it difficult
for fire trucks，police Cars，and other rescue vehicles to help people who were in trouble．
Many people who live near the river had to leave their homes for their own safety．Some
people reported five feet of water in their homes．Local and state officials opened emergency
shelters for the people who were evacuated(撤走)．’The Red Cross served meals to them．
“This was a really intense storm，”said Snyder．“People were afraid．Mother Nature can be
fierce．We were lucky this time．No one was killed”

1 Joying Brescia was 8 years old when she noticed that cigarette butts(煙頭)were littering
her hometown beach in Isle of Palms，South Carolina．When she learned that it takes five years
for the remains of a cigarette to disintegrate，she decided to take action．Joying launched a“No
Butts on the Beach” campaign．She raised money and awareness about the need to keep the
beaches dean．With the help of others．Joying also bought or received donations of gallon-size
plastic ice．cream buckets．The buckets were filled with sand。and placed at a11 public-access
areas of the beach．The buckets allowed people to dispose of their cigarettes before hitting the
beach．Two years later。Joying says the buckets are fun and the beach is nearly free of cigarette
debris(殘片)．

of the girls noticed her father using motor oil to kill weeds on their farm in Victoria。Texas．They
did some research and discovered that oil can contaminate ground water--a real danger in rural
areas．where people live off the water on their 1and．The girls researched ways to recycle oil and
worked with a local oil-recycling company on the issue．Now．the“Don’t Be Crude”program
runs oil．collection sites--tanks that hold up to 460 gallons--where people in the community can
dispose of their oil．
4 Five years ago．11-year-old Ryan Hreljac was a little boy with a big dream：for all the
people in Africa to have clean drinking water．His dream began in the first grade when he

第一篇
Technology Transfer in Germany
When it comes to translating basic research into industrial success．few nations can match
Germany．Since the 1 940s．the nation’s vast industrial base has been fed with a constant stream
of new ideas and expertise from science．And though German prosperity(繁榮)has faltered(衰
退1 over the past decade because of the huge cost of unifying east and west as well as the global
economic decline，it still has an enviable(令人羨慕的)record for turning ideas into profit．
Much of the reason for that success is the Fraunhofer Society，a network of research
institutes that exists solely to solve industrial problems and create sought．a(chǎn)fter technologies．But
today the Fraunhofer institutes have competition．Universities are taking an ever larger role in
technology transfer，and technology parks are springing up all over．These efforts are being
complemented by the federal programmes for pumping money into start-up companies．
Such a strategy may sound like a recipe for economic success．but it is not without its critics．
These people worry that favouring applied research will mean neglecting basic science，
eventually starving industry of flesh ideas．If every scientist starts thinking like an entrepreneur
(企業(yè)家)，the argument goes，then the traditional principles of university research being
curiosity．driven，flee and widely available will Suffer．Others claim that many of the
programmes to promote technology transfer are a waste of money because half the small
businesses that are promoted are bound to go bankrupt within a few years．
Ⅵmile this debate continues．new ideas flow at a steady rate from Germany’s research
networks，which bear famous names such as Helmholtz，Max Planck and Leibniz．Yet it is the
fourth network，the Fraunhofer Society，that plays the greatest role in technology transfer．
Founded in 1949,the Fraunhofer Society is now Europe’s largest organisation for applied
technology, and has 59 institutes employing 1 2，000 people．It continues to grow．Last year, it
Swallowed up the Heinrich Hertz Institute for Communication Technology in Berlin．Today,
there are even Fraunhofers in the US and Asia．
31 What factor can be attributed to German prosperity?
A Technology transfer．
B Good management
C Hard work．
D Fierce competition
32 Which of the following is NOT true of traditional university research?
A It is free．
B It is profit—driven．
C It is widely available．
D It is curiosity—driven．
33 The Fraunhofer Society is the largest organisation for applied technology in
A Asia．
B USA．
C Europe．
D Africa．
34 When was the Fraunhofer Society founded?
A In 1940.
B Last year．
C After the unification．
D In 1949.
35 The word “expertise’’ in line 3 could be best replaced by
A “experts”．
B “scientists”． ．
C “scholars”．
D “special knowledge”．

Superconductor Ceramic(陶瓷)
An underground revolution begins this winter．with the flip(輕擊)of a switch，30，000
homes in one part of Detroit will soon become the first in the country to receive electricity
transmitted by ice．cold high．performance cables．Other American cities are expected to follow
Detroit’s example in the years ahead．which could conserve enormous amounts of power．
The new electrical cables at the Frisbie power station in Detroit are revolutionary because
they are made of superconductors．A superconductor is a material that transmits electricity with
little or no resistance．Resistance is the degree to which a substance resists electric current．All
common electrical conductors have a certain amount of electrical resistance．They convert at
least some of the electrical energy passing through them into waste heat．Superconductors don’t·
No one understands how superconductivity works．It just does．
Making superconductors isn’t easy．A superconductor material has to be cooled to an
extremely low temperature to 10se its resistance．The first superconductors，made more than 50
years ago，had to be cooled to一263 degrees Celsius before they lost their resistance．Newer
superconducting materials 10se their resistance at一143 degrees Celsius．
The superconductors cable installed at the Frisbie station is made of a ceramic material
that contains copper．oxygen．bismuth(鉍)。strontium(鍶)．a(chǎn)nd calcium(鈣)．A ceramic is a
hard．strong compound made from clay or minerals．The superconducting ceramic has been
fashioned into a tape that is wrapped lengthwise around a long tube filled with liquid nitrogen．
Liquid nitrogen is supercold and lowers the temperature of the ceramic tape to the point where it
conveys electricity with zero resistance．
The United States loses an enormous amount of electricity each year to resistance．
Because cooled superconductors have no resistance．they waste much less power．0ther cities
are watching the Frisbie experiment in the hope that they might switch to superconducting cable
and conserve power．too．
36 What is the benefit of the revolution mentioned in the first paragraph?
A With a flip of swish．electricity can be transmitted．
B Other American cities can benefit from the high·performance cables．
C Great amounts of power can be conserved．
D Detroit will first receive electricity transmitted by the new electrical cables
37 Compared to common electrical conductors，superconductors
A have little or no electrical resistance．
B Can be used for along time．
C are not energy-efficient．
D can be made easily．
38 At what temperature does the superconducting ceramic lose its resistance?
A-143 degree Celsius．
B一263 degree Celsius．
C As long as it is ice-cold．
D Absolute zero．
39 What element enables the ceramic tape to lower its temperature?
A Copper．
B Liquid nitrogen．．
C Clay．
D Calcium．
40 According to the last paragraph，which of the following statements is NOT true?
A Other cities hope they Can also conserve power．
B Other cities hope they Can use superconducting cables soon．
C Superconductors waste less power because of their low resistance．
D The Fribie experiment is not successful．
第三篇
The Science of the Future
Until recently，the“science of the future”was supposed to be electronics and artificial
intelligence．Today it seems more and more likely that the next great breakthroughs in
technology will be brought through a combination Of those two sciences with organic chemistry
and genetic engineering．This combination is the science of biotechnology．
Organic chemistry enables us to produce marvelous synthetic(合成的)materials．However,
it is still difficult to manufacture anything that has the capacity of wool to conserve heat and also
tO absorb moisture．Nothing that we have been able to produce so far comes anywhere near the
combination of strength．1ightness and flexibility that we find in the bodies of ordinary insects．
Nevertheless．scientists in the laboratory have already succeeded in“growing”a material
that has many of the characteristics of human skin．The next step may well be“biotech hearts and
eyes”which can replace diseased organs in human beings．These will not be rejected by the body,
as is the case with organs from humans．
The application of biotechnology to energy production seems even more promising．In 1996
the famous science．fiction writer，Arthur C．Clarke，many of whose previous predictions have
come true。said that we may soon be able to develop remarkably cheap and renewable sources of
energy．Some of these power sources will be biological．Clarke and others have warned us
repeatedly that sooner or later we will have to give up our dependence on non-renewable power
sources．Coal，oil and gas are indeed convenient．However，using them also means creating
dangerously high levels of pollution．It will be impossible to meet the growing demand for
energy without increasing that pollution to catastrophic(災(zāi)難性的)levels unless we develop
power sources that are both cheaper and cleaner．
It is attempting to think that biotechnology or some other “science of the future” can solve
our problems．Before we surrender to that temptation we should remember nuclear power．Only a
few generations ago it seemed to promise limitless，cheap and safe energy．Today those promises
1ie buried in a concrete grave in a place called Chernobyl，in the Ukraine．Biotechnology is
unlikely．however, to break its promises in quite the same or such a dangerous way．
41 According to the passage，the science of the future is likely to be
A electronics．
B biotechnology．
C genetic engineering．
D nuclear technology．
42 Organic chemistry helps to produce materials that are
A as good as w001.
B as good as an insect’s body．
C not as good as natural materials．
D better than natural materials．
43 According to the．passage，it may soon be possible
A to make something as good as human skin．
B to produce drugs without side effects．
C to transplant human organs．
D to make artificial hearts and eyes．
44 In 1996. Arthur C．Clarke predicted that
A biological power sources would be put into use soon．
B oil，gas and coal could be repeatedly used in the future．
C dependence on non—renewable power sources would be reduced soon
D the Chernobyl disaster would happen in two years．
45 What do we learn from the last paragraph?
A Biotechnology can solve all our future energy problems．
B Biological power is cheaper than nuclear power．
C Biological power may not be as dangerous as nuclear power
D Biological power will keep all its promises．

Why Would They Falsely Confess?
Why on earth would an innocent person falsely confess to committing a crime? To most
people，it just doesn’t seem logical．But it is logical，say experts。if you understand what call
happen in a police interrogation(審訊)room．
Under the right conditions，people’s minds are susceptible(易受影響的)to influence，and
the pressure put on suspects during police questioning is enormous． (46)“The
pressure is important to understand，because otherwise it's impossible to understand why
someone would say he did something he didn’t do．The answer is：to put all end to an
uncomfortable situation that will continue until he does confess．
Developmental psychologist Mary Redlich recently conducted a laboratory study to
determine how likely people are to confess to things they didn’t do. (47)the
researchers then intentionally crashed the computers and accused the participants of hitting
“alt” key to see if they would sign a statement falsely taking responsibility．
Redlich’s findings clearly demonstrate how easy it can be to get people to falsely
59 percent of the young adults in the experiment immediately confessed. (48) Of
the 15-to 16-year-olds，72 percent signed confessions，as
13-year-olds．
“There’s no question that young people are more at risk，”says Saul Kassin，a psychology
professor at Williams College，who has done similar studies with similar . (49)
Both Kassin and Redlich note that the entire ‘‘interrogation” in their experiments consisted
of a simple accusation-not hours of aggressive questioning--and still，most participants falsely
decision．”
(50)“In some ways，”says Kassin，“false confession becomes a rational
A In her experiment，participants were seated at computers and told not to hit the“alt” key,
because doing So would crash the systems．
B Because of the stress of a police interrogation，they conclude，suspects can become
convinced that falsely confessing is the easiest way out of a bad situation．
C “It’s a little like somebody’s working on them with a dental(牙齒) drill,” says Franklin
Zimring，a law professor at the University of California at Berkeley．
D“But the baseline is that adults are highly vulnerable too．”
E The court found him innocent and he was released．
F Redlich also found that the younger the participant，the more likely a false confession．

The Greatest Mystery Of Whales
The whale is a warm-blooded，air-breathing animal，giving birth to its young alive，sucking

Immense strength is——(52)into the great body of the big whales，and in fact most
of a whale’s body is one gigantic muscle．The blue whale’s pulling strength has been estimated
(53)400 horsepower．One specimen was reported to have towed(拖)a whaling
vessel for seven hours at the (54) of eight knot (節(jié)).
An angry whale will (55) A famous example of this was the fate of
Whaler Essex, (56)was sunk off the coast of South America early in the last century．
More recently, steel ships have (57)their plates buckled(使彎曲)in the same way．
Sperm whales(抹香鯨)were known to seize the old-time whaleboats in their jaws and crush
Them.
The greatest (58)of whales is their diving ability．The sperm whale dives to the
Bottom for his (59)food，the octopus(章魚)．In that search he is known to go as far
Down as 3,200 feet, where the． (60)is 1,400 pounds，to a square inch．Doing so he

in pressure．Just how he does it scientists have not (63)．It is believed that some of
the oxygen is stored in a special (64)of blood vessels，rather than just held in the
lungs．And it is believed that a special kind of oil in his head is some sort of compensating
mechanism that (65)adjusts the internal pressure of his body．But since you can’t
bring a live whale into the laboratory for study, no one knows just how these things work．

主題是談讓他們喝上干凈的水，故D為答案。
第4部分：閱讀理解
31．正確答案為A。答案在第一段可以找到，該段的最后一句話it still has an enviable record
for turning ideas into profit是該段的總結(jié)，明確指出了德國的繁榮歸功于技術(shù)的轉(zhuǎn)換。
32．正確答案為B。答案可以在第三段里找到，這里段里有這樣一句話：打traditional principles
of university research being curiosity．driven，free and widely available will suffer，傳磊的
大學(xué)科研原則有三個(gè)特點(diǎn)，惟獨(dú)沒有profit．driven，即受利益驅(qū)動(dòng)。
33．正確答案為C。答案在最后一段里講得很清楚。
34．正確答案為D。答案在最后一段的第一句話里。 ，
35．正確答案為D。expertise是特殊領(lǐng)域的知識(shí)和學(xué)問的意思，另外三個(gè)選項(xiàng)都用來指人，
在這個(gè)上下文里根本不合適。
36．正確答案為C。’第一段的最后一句也提供了答案。盡管A、B、D的內(nèi)容都在第一段
中被提及，但不是這場革命所帶來的主要利益所在。
37．正確答案為A。第二段的第二句和第四句提供了明確的答案，超導(dǎo)體幾乎沒有電阻，
而普通導(dǎo)體都有一定量的電阻，故選A。
38．正確答案為A。題句的意思是：在什么溫度下，超導(dǎo)體失去電阻?第三段最后一句提
供了答案。B是50年前第一代超導(dǎo)體的溫度數(shù)。c和D都不是正確說法。
39．正確答案為B。此題是細(xì)節(jié)題。第四段第四句提供了答案。A和D中的copper和
calcium是用來制造超導(dǎo)體的陶瓷材料的成分；C中的clay是陶瓷材料的來源。
40．正確答案為D。本題屬于判斷題。A、B、C三個(gè)選項(xiàng)的信息在最后一段中都提到了，
只有選項(xiàng)D的意思沒提到，所以選D。 ．
41．正確答案為B。本題問的是未來的科學(xué)是屬于什么的?第一段最后一句給出了答案，
屬于生物科技，所以選B。 -
42．正確答案為C。此題為細(xì)節(jié)題，問的是生物化學(xué)能幫助人們生產(chǎn)出什么樣的產(chǎn)品?第
二段告訴我們，生物化學(xué)雖然可以幫助我們生產(chǎn)出新的材料，但這些材料的質(zhì)量很難
達(dá)到天然產(chǎn)品的程度。這就否定了選項(xiàng)A、B、D，只有選項(xiàng)C為正確答案。
43．正確答案為D。本題的答案應(yīng)在第三段里尋找。這段告訴我們，．生物化學(xué)可以幫助我
們在未來生產(chǎn)出人工器官，以替代人體中發(fā)病的器官。故選項(xiàng)D為正確答案。
44．正確答案為A。本題問的是1996年Arthur’C．Clarke預(yù)見到了什么?第四段第二句告
訴我們，未來人們可以用上生物能源，故選A。
45．正確答案為C。此題為判斷題，問的是讀了最后一段獲得什么信息?本文最后一段談
到了生物能源會(huì)存在問題，又以原子能指出新能源的危害，但作者最后一句卻暗示新
的生物能源不像原子能那樣危險(xiǎn)，故選Co ．
第5部分：補(bǔ)全短文
46．正確答案為C。這一段談的是pressure方面的事，請注意在這個(gè)空格后面是一段引言，
但沒有原說話人的名字，這也給我們提示，在填入部分里應(yīng)該有原說話人的名字。可
以考慮的B、C、F三個(gè)選項(xiàng)， 但從內(nèi)容上考慮應(yīng)該選c。
47．正確答案為A。這里填入的部分是對Redlich所做試驗(yàn)的描述，下文又講到計(jì)算機(jī)，
所以不難選定A。
48．正確答案為F。這一段講的是Redlich試驗(yàn)的結(jié)果，一開始就講了她的finding。填入
的部分里有also這個(gè)詞，正好接上。而后面的一句話則用更具體的數(shù)據(jù)來支持她的
結(jié)論：越年輕，越可能做假供。
49．正確答案為．D。Saul Kassin同意Redlich的結(jié)果，她認(rèn)為年輕人風(fēng)險(xiǎn)大(more at risk)，
但同時(shí)她又認(rèn)為成年人也十分脆弱(vulnerable)。
50．正確答案為B。由于在審訊過程中受到的壓力，許多人認(rèn)為做假供是一種擺脫厄境的
方法，因此也是一種合理的決定。 ’
第6部分：完形填空
51．答案為B。第一段講到鯨魚很像陸地上的哺乳動(dòng)物，最后一句舉了一些例子來說明這
一點(diǎn)。sign的意思是“符號(hào)，特征”，鯨魚具有陸地上哺乳動(dòng)物的一些特征，故選B。
52．答案為c。something is built into…的意思是“把……裝(建、插)入……”，這里指
鯨魚生有巨大的氣力。其他幾個(gè)選項(xiàng)意思上講不通。
53．答案為A。只能用介詞at，不能用其他介詞。
54．答案為D。rate表示“速度”，從上下文來講，選D意思才講得通。
55．答案為B。此題亦必須根據(jù)上下文的意思來推測選哪個(gè)詞。鯨魚被惹怒后會(huì)攻擊船只，
所以選B。
56．答案為C。這里是一非限定性定語從句，關(guān)系代詞作 主語，用which，故選C。
57．答案為A。have + something+過去分詞是一固定結(jié)構(gòu)，此處只能選A。
58．答案為D。本題所在句子為該段主題句，談的是鯨魚的潛水能力。鯨魚的潛水能力很
強(qiáng)，能下潛到很深的地方，科學(xué)家們不解，所以說是個(gè)迷，故選D。
59．答案為A。雖然本題的幾個(gè)選項(xiàng)都能與food搭配，但從上下文意思來講，只有A正
確。
60．答案為B。空格后面的名詞是pound，重量單位，據(jù)此可以判斷選B，因?yàn)槠渌麕讉€(gè)
選項(xiàng)不能和pound搭配。
61．答案為C。呆在水下要用動(dòng)詞remain，其他幾個(gè)動(dòng)詞放入空格處意思講不通。
62．答案為D。此題也必須在讀懂上下文意思的基礎(chǔ)上才能作出判斷，這里指鯨魚聚集氧
氣，故選D。
63．答案為B。上文談到鯨魚為什么能夠在水下承受巨大的壓力，科學(xué)家們還沒有找到答
案。選項(xiàng)中的deterrmine的意思是“確定”，此詞放入空格處意思講得通，其他幾個(gè)選
項(xiàng)講不通，故選B。
64．答案為A。special雖然和幾個(gè)選項(xiàng)都能搭配使用，但只有選項(xiàng)A意思上講得通，故A
為正確答案。

Mother Nature Shows Her Strength
Tornadoes(龍卷風(fēng))and heavy thunderstorms moved across the Great Lakes and into
Trumbull County on Saturday evening．The storms were dramatic and dangerous．
George Snyder was driving the fire truck down Route 88 when he first noticed that a funnel
(漏斗狀的)cloud was behind him．“I stopped the truck and watched the funnel cloud．It was
about 100 feet off the ground and I saw it go up and down for a while．It was moving toward
Bradley Road and then suddenly it disappeared．”Snyder said．
Snyder only saw one of the funnel clouds that passed through northeastern 0hio on
Saturday．In Trumbull County，a tornado turned trees onto their sides．Some trees fell onto
houses and cars．Other trees fell into telephone and electrical wires as they went down．
Amanda Sym check was having a party when the storm began．“I knew something was
wrong, ”he said．“I saw the sky go green and pink(粉紅色)．Then it sounded like a train
rushing toward the house．I started crying and told everyone to go to the basement for
protection．”
The tornado caused a 10t of damage to cars and houses in the area．It will take a long time
and much money to repair everything．There was also serious water damage from the
thunderstorms．The heavy rains and high wind caused the power to go out in many homes．
The storms caused serious flooding in areas near the river．More than four inches of rain fell
in parts of Trumbull County．The river was so high that the water ran into streets and houses．
Many streets had to be closed to Cars and trucks because of the high water．This made it difficult
for fire trucks，police Cars，and other rescue vehicles to help people who were in trouble．
Many people who live near the river had to leave their homes for their own safety．Some
people reported five feet of water in their homes．Local and state officials opened emergency
shelters for the people who were evacuated(撤走)．’The Red Cross served meals to them．
“This was a really intense storm，”said Snyder．“People were afraid．Mother Nature can be
fierce．We were lucky this time．No one was killed”

第一篇
Technology Transfer in Germany
When it comes to translating basic research into industrial success．few nations can match
Germany．Since the 1 940s．the nation’s vast industrial base has been fed with a constant stream
of new ideas and expertise from science．And though German prosperity(繁榮)has faltered(衰
退1 over the past decade because of the huge cost of unifying east and west as well as the global
economic decline，it still has an enviable(令人羨慕的)record for turning ideas into profit．
Much of the reason for that success is the Fraunhofer Society，a network of research
institutes that exists solely to solve industrial problems and create sought．a(chǎn)fter technologies．But
today the Fraunhofer institutes have competition．Universities are taking an ever larger role in
technology transfer，and technology parks are springing up all over．These efforts are being
complemented by the federal programmes for pumping money into start-up companies．
Such a strategy may sound like a recipe for economic success．but it is not without its critics．
These people worry that favouring applied research will mean neglecting basic science，
eventually starving industry of flesh ideas．If every scientist starts thinking like an entrepreneur
(企業(yè)家)，the argument goes，then the traditional principles of university research being
curiosity．driven，flee and widely available will Suffer．Others claim that many of the
programmes to promote technology transfer are a waste of money because half the small
businesses that are promoted are bound to go bankrupt within a few years．
Ⅵmile this debate continues．new ideas flow at a steady rate from Germany’s research
networks，which bear famous names such as Helmholtz，Max Planck and Leibniz．Yet it is the
fourth network，the Fraunhofer Society，that plays the greatest role in technology transfer．
Founded in 1949,the Fraunhofer Society is now Europe’s largest organisation for applied
technology, and has 59 institutes employing 1 2，000 people．It continues to grow．Last year, it
Swallowed up the Heinrich Hertz Institute for Communication Technology in Berlin．Today,
there are even Fraunhofers in the US and Asia．
31 What factor can be attributed to German prosperity?
A Technology transfer．
B Good management
C Hard work．
D Fierce competition
32 Which of the following is NOT true of traditional university research?
A It is free．
B It is profit—driven．
C It is widely available．
D It is curiosity—driven．
33 The Fraunhofer Society is the largest organisation for applied technology in
A Asia．
B USA．
C Europe．
D Africa．
34 When was the Fraunhofer Society founded?
A In 1940.
B Last year．
C After the unification．
D In 1949.
35 The word “expertise’’ in line 3 could be best replaced by
A “experts”．
B “scientists”． ．
C “scholars”．
D “special knowledge”．

Superconductor Ceramic(陶瓷)
An underground revolution begins this winter．with the flip(輕擊)of a switch，30，000
homes in one part of Detroit will soon become the first in the country to receive electricity
transmitted by ice．cold high．performance cables．Other American cities are expected to follow
Detroit’s example in the years ahead．which could conserve enormous amounts of power．
The new electrical cables at the Frisbie power station in Detroit are revolutionary because
they are made of superconductors．A superconductor is a material that transmits electricity with
little or no resistance．Resistance is the degree to which a substance resists electric current．All
common electrical conductors have a certain amount of electrical resistance．They convert at
least some of the electrical energy passing through them into waste heat．Superconductors don’t·
No one understands how superconductivity works．It just does．
Making superconductors isn’t easy．A superconductor material has to be cooled to an
extremely low temperature to 10se its resistance．The first superconductors，made more than 50
years ago，had to be cooled to一263 degrees Celsius before they lost their resistance．Newer
superconducting materials 10se their resistance at一143 degrees Celsius．
The superconductors cable installed at the Frisbie station is made of a ceramic material
that contains copper．oxygen．bismuth(鉍)。strontium(鍶)．a(chǎn)nd calcium(鈣)．A ceramic is a
hard．strong compound made from clay or minerals．The superconducting ceramic has been
fashioned into a tape that is wrapped lengthwise around a long tube filled with liquid nitrogen．
Liquid nitrogen is supercold and lowers the temperature of the ceramic tape to the point where it
conveys electricity with zero resistance．
The United States loses an enormous amount of electricity each year to resistance．
Because cooled superconductors have no resistance．they waste much less power．0ther cities
are watching the Frisbie experiment in the hope that they might switch to superconducting cable
and conserve power．too．
36 What is the benefit of the revolution mentioned in the first paragraph?
A With a flip of swish．electricity can be transmitted．
B Other American cities can benefit from the high·performance cables．
C Great amounts of power can be conserved．
D Detroit will first receive electricity transmitted by the new electrical cables
37 Compared to common electrical conductors，superconductors
A have little or no electrical resistance．
B Can be used for along time．
C are not energy-efficient．
D can be made easily．
38 At what temperature does the superconducting ceramic lose its resistance?
A-143 degree Celsius．
B一263 degree Celsius．
C As long as it is ice-cold．
D Absolute zero．
39 What element enables the ceramic tape to lower its temperature?
A Copper．
B Liquid nitrogen．．
C Clay．
D Calcium．
40 According to the last paragraph，which of the following statements is NOT true?
A Other cities hope they Can also conserve power．
B Other cities hope they Can use superconducting cables soon．
C Superconductors waste less power because of their low resistance．
D The Fribie experiment is not successful．
第三篇
The Science of the Future
Until recently，the“science of the future”was supposed to be electronics and artificial
intelligence．Today it seems more and more likely that the next great breakthroughs in
technology will be brought through a combination Of those two sciences with organic chemistry
and genetic engineering．This combination is the science of biotechnology．
Organic chemistry enables us to produce marvelous synthetic(合成的)materials．However,
it is still difficult to manufacture anything that has the capacity of wool to conserve heat and also
tO absorb moisture．Nothing that we have been able to produce so far comes anywhere near the
combination of strength．1ightness and flexibility that we find in the bodies of ordinary insects．
Nevertheless．scientists in the laboratory have already succeeded in“growing”a material
that has many of the characteristics of human skin．The next step may well be“biotech hearts and
eyes”which can replace diseased organs in human beings．These will not be rejected by the body,
as is the case with organs from humans．
The application of biotechnology to energy production seems even more promising．In 1996
the famous science．fiction writer，Arthur C．Clarke，many of whose previous predictions have
come true。said that we may soon be able to develop remarkably cheap and renewable sources of
energy．Some of these power sources will be biological．Clarke and others have warned us
repeatedly that sooner or later we will have to give up our dependence on non-renewable power
sources．Coal，oil and gas are indeed convenient．However，using them also means creating
dangerously high levels of pollution．It will be impossible to meet the growing demand for
energy without increasing that pollution to catastrophic(災(zāi)難性的)levels unless we develop
power sources that are both cheaper and cleaner．
It is attempting to think that biotechnology or some other “science of the future” can solve
our problems．Before we surrender to that temptation we should remember nuclear power．Only a
few generations ago it seemed to promise limitless，cheap and safe energy．Today those promises
1ie buried in a concrete grave in a place called Chernobyl，in the Ukraine．Biotechnology is
unlikely．however, to break its promises in quite the same or such a dangerous way．
41 According to the passage，the science of the future is likely to be
A electronics．
B biotechnology．
C genetic engineering．
D nuclear technology．
42 Organic chemistry helps to produce materials that are
A as good as w001.
B as good as an insect’s body．
C not as good as natural materials．
D better than natural materials．
43 According to the．passage，it may soon be possible
A to make something as good as human skin．
B to produce drugs without side effects．
C to transplant human organs．
D to make artificial hearts and eyes．
44 In 1996. Arthur C．Clarke predicted that
A biological power sources would be put into use soon．
B oil，gas and coal could be repeatedly used in the future．
C dependence on non—renewable power sources would be reduced soon
D the Chernobyl disaster would happen in two years．
45 What do we learn from the last paragraph?
A Biotechnology can solve all our future energy problems．
B Biological power is cheaper than nuclear power．
C Biological power may not be as dangerous as nuclear power
D Biological power will keep all its promises．

Why Would They Falsely Confess?
Why on earth would an innocent person falsely confess to committing a crime? To most
people，it just doesn’t seem logical．But it is logical，say experts。if you understand what call
happen in a police interrogation(審訊)room．
Under the right conditions，people’s minds are susceptible(易受影響的)to influence，and
the pressure put on suspects during police questioning is enormous． (46)“The
pressure is important to understand，because otherwise it's impossible to understand why
someone would say he did something he didn’t do．The answer is：to put all end to an
uncomfortable situation that will continue until he does confess．
Developmental psychologist Mary Redlich recently conducted a laboratory study to
determine how likely people are to confess to things they didn’t do. (47)the
researchers then intentionally crashed the computers and accused the participants of hitting
“alt” key to see if they would sign a statement falsely taking responsibility．
Redlich’s findings clearly demonstrate how easy it can be to get people to falsely
59 percent of the young adults in the experiment immediately confessed. (48) Of
the 15-to 16-year-olds，72 percent signed confessions，as
13-year-olds．
“There’s no question that young people are more at risk，”says Saul Kassin，a psychology
professor at Williams College，who has done similar studies with similar . (49)
Both Kassin and Redlich note that the entire ‘‘interrogation” in their experiments consisted
of a simple accusation-not hours of aggressive questioning--and still，most participants falsely
decision．”
(50)“In some ways，”says Kassin，“false confession becomes a rational
A In her experiment，participants were seated at computers and told not to hit the“alt” key,
because doing So would crash the systems．
B Because of the stress of a police interrogation，they conclude，suspects can become
convinced that falsely confessing is the easiest way out of a bad situation．
C “It’s a little like somebody’s working on them with a dental(牙齒) drill,” says Franklin
Zimring，a law professor at the University of California at Berkeley．
D“But the baseline is that adults are highly vulnerable too．”

結(jié)論：越年輕，越可能做假供。
49．正確答案為．D。Saul Kassin同意Redlich的結(jié)果，她認(rèn)為年輕人風(fēng)險(xiǎn)大(more at risk)，
但同時(shí)她又認(rèn)為成年人也十分脆弱(vulnerable)。

確。

案。選項(xiàng)中的deterrmine的意思是“確定”，此詞放入空格處意思講得通，其他幾個(gè)選
項(xiàng)講不通，故選B。
