Using radiocarbon techniques, simulations and computer models, the researchers recreated the ancient disaster in order to identify the responsible fault. "We are saying there is probably a repeat time of 800 years for this kind of earthquake," said Ms. Beth Shaw, an earthquake scientist at the University of Cambridge, who led the study. Scientists study past earthquakes in order to determine the future possibility of similar large shocks. Identifying the fault for the A 365 earthquake and tsunami is important for the tens of millions of people in the region, Ms. Shaw said. The fault close to the southwest coast of Crete last produced a big enough quake to generate a tsunami about 1300, which means the powerful one could come in the 100 years, she added in a telephone interview. Ms. Shaw and her colleagues calculate the likely intervals by measuring the motion of either side of the fault to find how often such large earthquakes would have to occur to account for that level of motion, she said. Their computer model suggested an 8 magnitude quake on the fault would produce a tsunami that floods the coastal regions of Alandria and North Africa, the southern coast of Greece and Sicily all the way up the Adriati to Dubrovnik. This would be similar to the ancient quake in A 365 that caused widespread destruction in much of Greece and unleashed a tsunami that flooded Alandria and the Nile Delta, likely killing tens of thousands of people, she said.

Voluntary learning in organized courses by mature men and women is called adult education. Such education is offered to make people able to enlarge and interpret their experience as adults. Adults may want to study something which they missed in earlier schooling, get new skills or job training, find out about new technological developments, seek better self understanding, or develop new talents and skills. 2. This kind of education may be in the form of self-study with proper guidance through the use of libraries, correspondence courses, or broadcasting. It may also be acquired collectively in schools and colleges, study groups, workshops, clubs and professional associations. 3. Modem adult education for large numbers of people started in the 18th and 19th centuries with the rise of the Industrial Revolution. Great economic and social changes were taking place: people were moving from rural areas to cities; new types of work were being created in an expanding factory system. These and other factors produced a need for further education and re-education of adults. 4. The earliest programs of organized adult education arose in Great Britain in the 1790s, with the founding of an adult school in Nottingham and a mechanics' institution in Glasgow. Benjamin Franklin and some friends found the earliest adult education institution in the U. S. in Philadelphia in 1727. 5. People recognize that continued/earning is necessary for most forms of employment today. For example, parts of the adult population in many countries find it necessary to take part in retraining programs at work or even to learn completely new jobs. Adult education programs are springing up constantly to meet these and other need.

No? But did that stop you buying another lottery ticket? If the answer is another "no", you might call yourself an optimist. According to researchers at University College London, human beings are sanguine creatures. It is all in the brain, they say. A study suggests that human brain is very efficient at processing good news: about 80% of people have a tendency to see the glasses half-full, not half-empty, even if they don't consider themselves to be optimists. The good news is that this brings a health benefit. Having a positive outlook on life reduces anxiety. A study of nearly 100, 000 women showed a lower risk of death from heart disease among optimists. But there are problems in always having an optimistic attitude. The authors of the study point out that the 2008 financial crisis may have been caused by analysts overestmafing their assets' performance even in the face of clear evidence to the contrary. There are personal health risks too. Dr Tali Sharot, lead researcher, said: " Smoking Kills' messages don't work since people think their chances of cancer are low. There's a very fundamental tendency in the brain. " But, as they say, every cloud has a silver lining. Even if seeing the world through rose-colored glasses poses a risk to our health, it's not something that is likely to cause us to lose sleep. Let's just keep our chins up and keep smiling!
What does "sanguine" (Para. 2) mean?__________. A．depressed B．cheerful C．lucky D．emotional
32、The study mentioned in Paragraph 2 indicates that people__________. A．a(chǎn)re more optimistic than they believe B．a(chǎn)re less optimistic than they believe C．like good news more than they' think D．like good news less than they think
33、What mistake might analysts have made during the 2008 financial crisis? A．Collecting false information. B．Overemphasizing evidence. C．Misjudging the situation. D．Giving a pessimistic forecast.
34、The author suggests in the last paragraph that we A．a(chǎn)djust our goals in life B．learn to release bad mood C．a(chǎn)void being overoptimistic D．maintain a positive attitude
35、What is the main idea of the passage? A．People tend to be optimistic even in crisis B．Optimists enjoy life better than pessimists. C．Being optimistic has both benefits and risks. D．Optimism is what keeps us going forward. 36、根據(jù)材料，完成36-41題。 第二篇 IOC's Official Problems The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has launched an investigation into allegations that its officials in more than 50 countries have been selling London Olympics tickets on the black market for profit.

People who have such addition are compulsive, i.e. they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is irrational- impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy on credit,charge accounts are even more exciting than money.

Their pleasure in spending enormous amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy. There is special psychology of bargain hunting.

They believe that they are helping their budgets, but they are really playing an exciting game: when they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winners. Most people, experts claim,have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for things that they do and the real one. Of course, it is not only scientists who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business people. Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business:they consider people's needs for love, power, or influence, their basic value, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods. Psychologists can often use a method called "behavior therapy" to help individuals solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money.

Is there a place in today's society for the study of useless subjects in our universities? Just over 100 years ago Fitzgerald argued in a well-written letter, (51) Nature that Universities must be allowed to study useless subjects (52)they don't, who will? He went on to use the (53) of Maxwell's electrodynamics ( 電動(dòng)力學(xué) ) as one case where a useless subject" has been transformed to a useful subject. Nowadays this argument is again very much (54) in many universities. Indeed one suspects that it is one of. those arguments that must be (55) anew (重新) by each generation. But now there is an added twist__________ subjects must not only be useful, they must also be (56) enough that students will flock (蜂擁) to do them, and even flock to pay to do them. As umversities become commercial operations, the pressure to (57) subjects or departments that are less popular will become stronger and stronger, Perhaps this is most strongly (58) at the moment by physics. There has been much (59) in the press of universities that are closing down physics departments and incorporate them with mathematics or engineering departments. Many scientists think otherwise. They see physics as a (60) science, which must be kept alive if only to (61) a base for other sciences and engineering. It is of their great personal concern that physics teaching and research is under (62) in many universities. How can it be preserved in the rush towards commercial competition? A major turnaround (轉(zhuǎn)變) in student popularity may have to (63) until the industrial world discovers that it needs physicists and starts paying them well. Physics is now not only unpopular; it is also “hard". We can do more about the latter by (64)teaching in our Schools and universities. We can also (65) cooperative arrangements to ensure that physicists keep their research and teaching up to date.

Benjamin Franklin and some friends found the earliest adult education institution in the U. S. in Philadelphia in 1727. 5. People recognize that continued/earning is necessary for most forms of employment today. For example, parts of the adult population in many countries find it necessary to take part in retraining programs at work or even to learn completely new jobs.

No? But did that stop you buying another lottery ticket? If the answer is another "no", you might call yourself an optimist. According to researchers at University College London, human beings are sanguine creatures. It is all in the brain, they say. A study suggests that human brain is very efficient at processing good news: about 80% of people have a tendency to see the glasses half-full, not half-empty, even if they don't consider themselves to be optimists. The good news is that this brings a health benefit. Having a positive outlook on life reduces anxiety. A study of nearly 100, 000 women showed a lower risk of death from heart disease among optimists. But there are problems in always having an optimistic attitude. The authors of the study point out that the 2008 financial crisis may have been caused by analysts overestmafing their assets' performance even in the face of clear evidence to the contrary. There are personal health risks too. Dr Tali Sharot, lead researcher, said: " Smoking Kills' messages don't work since people think their chances of cancer are low. There's a very fundamental tendency in the brain. " But, as they say, every cloud has a silver lining. Even if seeing the world through rose-colored glasses poses a risk to our health, it's not something that is likely to cause us to lose sleep. Let's just keep our chins up and keep smiling!

Is there a place in today's society for the study of useless subjects in our universities? Just over 100 years ago Fitzgerald argued in a well-written letter, (51) Nature that Universities must be allowed to study useless subjects (52)they don't, who will? He went on to use the (53) of Maxwell's electrodynamics ( 電動(dòng)力學(xué) ) as one case where a useless subject" has been transformed to a useful subject. Nowadays this argument is again very much (54) in many universities. Indeed one suspects that it is one of. those arguments that must be (55) anew (重新) by each generation. But now there is an added twist__________ subjects must not only be useful, they must also be (56) enough that students will flock (蜂擁) to do them, and even flock to pay to do them. As umversities become commercial operations, the pressure to (57) subjects or departments that are less popular will become stronger and stronger, Perhaps this is most strongly (58) at the moment by physics. There has been much (59) in the press of universities that are closing down physics departments and incorporate them with mathematics or engineering departments. Many scientists think otherwise. They see physics as a (60) science, which must be kept alive if only to (61) a base for other sciences and engineering. It is of their great personal concern that physics teaching and research is under (62) in many universities. How can it be preserved in the rush towards commercial competition? A major turnaround (轉(zhuǎn)變) in student popularity may have to (63) until the industrial world discovers that it needs physicists and starts paying them well. Physics is now not only unpopular; it is also “hard". We can do more about the latter by (64)teaching in our Schools and universities. We can also (65) cooperative arrangements to ensure that physicists keep their research and teaching up to date.
