阅读理解。     Australian scientists are trying to give kangaroo-style stomachs to cattle and sheep in order to cut the
greenhouse gases they send out, which is thought to be responsible for global warming.
     Thanks to special bacteria in their stomachs, kangaroo flatulence (肠胃气胀) contains no methane (甲烷)
and scientists want to transfer that bacteria to cattle and sheep who produce large quantities of the harmful
gas.
     While the usual image of greenhouse gas pollution is a billowing smokestack (烟囱) pushing out carbon
dioxide, farm animals" passing wind contribute a surprisingly high percentage of total emissions (排放物) in
some countries. "Fourteen percent of emissions from all sources in Australia is from enteric methane from
cattle and sheep," said Athol Klieve, a senior research scientist with the Queensland state government.
     "And if you look at another country such as New Zealand, which has got a much higher agricultural base,
they"re actually up around 50 percent," he said.
     Researchers say the bacteria also makes the digestive process much more efficient and could potentially
save millions of dollars in feed costs for farmers.
     But it will take researchers at least three years to isolate (分离) the bacteria, before they can even start to
develop a way of transferring it to cattle and sheep.
     Another group of scientists, meanwhile, has suggested Australians should farm fewer cattle and sheep and
just eat more kangaroos. And about 20 percent of health-conscious Australians are believed to eat the national
symbol already.
     "It"s low in fat, it"s got high protein levels and it"s very clean in the sense that basically it"s the free-range
(放养的) animal," said Peter Ampt of the University of New South Wales"s institute of environmental studies. 1. Scientists intend to put bacteria into cattle and sheep _____. A. to prevent them from sending out harmful gases
B. to help Australian farmers to earn more money
C. so that they can protect Australian ecosystem
D. so that they can make full use of special bacteria 2. Athol Klieve seems to believe that _____. A. cattle and sheep produce more carbon dioxide
B. less cattle and sheep are raised in New Zealand
C. farm animals are to blame for greenhouse gases
D. New Zealand has the most animals in the world 3. The main idea of the text is to _____. A. discuss a better way to protect the earth
B. warn farmers of the danger of animal waste
C. illustrate the possible solutions to pollution
D. present a recent study on global warming 4. The advantages Peter Ampt lists about kangaroos don"t include _____. A. it is rich in protein
B. is low in fat
C. it is cheaper than beef
D. it is cleaner than sheep

阅读理解。     In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastest- growing US minority. As their children
began moving up through the nation"s schools, it became clear that a new kind of culture was coming out.
Their achievements are made in the nation"s best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering
departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is
partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their education abroad arrived in the
US with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by
the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics
and science because they will be judged more objectively (客观). And the money spent on education is more
immediately returned in something like engineering than with an arts degree.
     Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their
children should take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure
of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents
do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture, such as family value, the
importance of education and so on that lead to their success.
     Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they could cause
the native Americans" unhappiness. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants (移
民) were unequally treated because of social separation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down
giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship. 1. Few Asian-American students major in human sciences mainly because _____. A. they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgment in these areas
B. there is a wide difference between Asian and Western cultures
C. they know little about American cultures and Western cultures
D. their English is not good enough 2. Asian-Americans prefer something like engineering to an arts degree because _____. A. people majoring in engineering are respected
B. people with an arts degree are looked down upon
C. they can"t find a job with an arts degree
D. they can earn more money after graduation 3. While making great achievements at college, Asian-American students _____. A. are afraid that their.academic successes take on a strong Asian character
B. still worry about unfair treatment in society
C. generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents
D. feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English 4. According to the passage, the major factors determining the success of Asian-Americans are _____.A. Asian culture and the American educational system
B. Asian culture and a solid base in basic mathematics
C. hard work and parental help
D. hard work and a limited knowledge of English

阅读理解。     Mead Vale Community Primary School opened in new buildings and spacious grounds in September 1977,
within a fairly small mature estate community. Times have changed, and we now cover a far greater area and
children travel to the school from as far a field as Benwell. Parents now have the choice of selecting schools
for their children"s education and many parents choose Mead Vale.
     We are a Community Primary School administered by the School Governing Board which is responsible to
the North Somerset Council Education Board. Present school roll is around 415 with space for 420 in total. We
are delighted that we were awarded "Beacon Status" in 2002 and are pleased to share our expertise with other
schools. Last year we had visits from as far away as South Africa and Spain. We are a primary school covering
ages 4-11 and on transfer from here parents usually choose Word Comprehensive, Priory Comprehensive or
Wyvern Comprehensive. We feel the advantage of a Primary School is the continuity of education from 4-11
and the greatly reduced trauma involved in moving schools from Infant to Junior or First to Middle at the age
of 7. We are convinced of the benefit of this and deliberately structure the school in phases at four levels:
     Foundation: the reception year-a separate special early years curriculum;
     Years l & 2: the first two years of the national curriculum- previously infants;
     Years 3 & 4: the third and fourth year of the national curriculum-previously lower juniors;
     Years 5 & 6: the fifth and sixth years of the national curriculum-previously upper juniors.
     In each phase the children stay with the same teacher. It is likely that they will have only 4 different class
teachers during their seven years with us. 1. According to the author, ____. A. he will open a new school covering a far greater area
B. he is proud of the achievements the school has gained
C. he will let the children have four teachers each year
D. he thinks these seven years will reduce trauma involved in the transfer 2. What does the underlined word "phase" mean in the last paragraph?A. Year.
B. Term.
C. Part.
D. Stage. 3. The relationship among the following is ____.
    Mead Vale-M; Community Primary School-C; the School Governing Board-S;
    North Somerset Council Education Board- N; UK-U A. U-N-C-S-M
B. U-N-S-C-M
C. N-U-C-S-M
D. N-U-S-C-M 4. What shall a primary school do with the education according to the passage? A. Open in new buildings and spacious grounds; get a "Beacon Status" award.
B. Have a "Beacon Status" award; carry on the continuity of education.
C. Carry on the continuity of education; reduce trauma involved in transferring schools.
D. Reduce trauma involved in transferring schools; divide the students into different phases.

that people started to study dreams scientifically believing that they tell about a person"s character. 2.____
He believed that dreams allow a person to express fantasies or fears, which would be socially unacceptable

mental skill that needs time to develop in humans. 4.____ Until they reach age five, they cannot express very
well what their dreams are about. Once people become adults, there is little or no change in their dreams. The
dreams of men and women differ. For instance.

阅读理解。     We redheads are well known for our bad tempers. Now it seems there is scientific backing for our particular
complaining as well.
     Scientists in the United States studied a group of 144 dental patients almost half of whom had red hair. They
found that the red-haired group were more sensitive to pain and as a result were twice as likely to avoid visiting
the dentist.
     Previous research had shown that redheads were more resistant to the effects of local anaesthesia (局部麻
醉) than people with other hair colours.
     The scientists say that this red-haired sensitivity to pain stems from the actions of a gene called MCIR. This
is responsible for the production of melanin which gives skin and hair its colour. In about five percent of white
people the gene is mutated (突变) leading to fair skin and red hair. 
     Researchers say there are some people with the gene in the brain and that this could affect pain sensitivity.
     Professor Daniel Sessler from the Cleveland Clinic in the United States is one of the authors of the study. He
says the research is a considerable scientific breakthrough.
     "Red hair is the first phenotype (表现某显性特征的生物个体或群体) of anaesthetic requirement in humans. And what I mean by phenotype is an external (外部的) characteristic."
     "So suppose you are walking down the street and you see someone who"s a little older and a little younger-
that tells you nothing about their anaesthetic requirement. You see a man and a woman-that tells you nothing
about their anaesthetic requirement. But you see a redhead-aha! You know that person is going to require 20
percent more general anaesthesia."
     From my own personal experience I would say that there is some merit to this idea. I have found that I have
had to ask dentists for extra anaesthetic in the middle of procedures.
     Some dentists argue that a greater sensitivity to pain might actually benefit redheads and drive them to see
the dentist more quickly. In my own case I can prove that is definitely not true. 1. We learn from the text that red-haired group are ____. A. easily influenced by the sense of pain and need more anaesthetic requirement
B. usually more sensitive to some painful things
C. just well-known for their good temper and strong pain sensitivity
D. good-looking with fair skin and red hair 2. What do the scientists think this red-haired sensitivity to pain results from?A. Melanin which is responsible for the production which gives skin and hair its colour.
B. The mutated gene leading to fair skin and red hair.
C. Some persons with this gene in the brain.
D. An external characteristic of a person. 3. According to Professor Daniel Sessler, the most amazing thing about the anaesthetic requirement in humans which can be judged by ____. A. someone"s age and hair
B. someone"s gender and figure
C. someone"s teeth and the skills of the dentist
D. someone"s external characteristic 4. We can infer from the last two paragraphs that ____. A. redheads need less anaesthetic in the operation
B. the results of this red-haired sensitivity to pain will be the same
C. the writer is a red-haired person
D. redheads have many benefits of being red-haired
