A small company called Genera Technologies has produced a testing method in three stages, which shows whether water is safe. The new test shows if water needs chemicals added to it, to destroy anything harmful. It was invented by scientist Dr. Adrian Parton, who started Genera five years ago. He and his employees have developed the test together with a British water company.Andy Headland, Generas marketing director, recently presented the test at a conference in the USA and forecast good American sales for it. Genera has already sold 11 of its tests at $ 42,500 a time in the UK and has a further four on order. It expects to sell another 25 tests before the end of March. The company says it is the only test in the UK to be approved by the government. Genera was formed five years ago and until October last year had only five employees;it now employs 14. Mr.Headland believes that the company should make around $19 million by the end of the year in the UK alone.16Genera Technologies has developed a method that determines whether water is clean.ARightBWrongCNot mentioned17Before he set up Genera, Dr Parton had worked for a British water company.ARightBWrongCNot mentioned18The new product has been a commercial success in the USA.ARightBWrongCNot mentioned19Each of the tests costs $42,500.ARightBWrongCNot mentioned20Genera Technologies orders 25 more tests before the end of the year.ARightBWrongCNot mentioned21The British government is helping Dr Parton to sell the tests abroad.ARightBWrongCNot mentioned22Genera has increased the number of its employees recently.ARightBWrongCNot mentioned參考答案：16A本題的意思是：Genera技術(shù)公司研制出一種方法，這種方法可以確定水是否是清潔的。題句的意思與原文第二句相符，故選A。17C本題的意思是：在成立Genera公司之前，Parton曾在一家英國水廠工作。原文中并沒有提到公司成立前Parton是否在一家英國水廠工作，故選C。18B本題可譯為：這種新產(chǎn)品在美國獲得了商業(yè)上的巨大成功。原文的意思是預(yù)計(jì)該產(chǎn)品在美國會(huì)賣得很好，還沒在美國上市呢。本題句的意思與原文不符，故選B。19A本題可譯為：這種測試產(chǎn)品每件售價(jià)42 500美元。同原文意思相符，故選A。20B本題可譯為：年底前，Genera公司又訂購了25件這種測試產(chǎn)品。Genera公司本身是賣這種測試產(chǎn)品的，不是它又訂購了25件這種產(chǎn)品。與原文意思相反，故選B。21C本題的意思是：英國政府正幫助Parton銷售這種產(chǎn)品。原文根本沒有提到這一信息，故選C。22A本題可譯為：最近，Genera的雇員增加了。見原文最后一段，原來公司里有5位雇員，現(xiàn)在增加到14位，故選A。第三部分：概括大意與完成句子(第2330題，每題1分，共8分)閱讀下面這篇短文，短文后有2項(xiàng)測試任務(wù)：(1)第2326題要求從所給的6個(gè)選項(xiàng)中為第1、3、4、6段每段選擇1個(gè)正確的小標(biāo)題;(2)第2730題要求從所給的6個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選擇4個(gè)正確選項(xiàng)，分別完成每個(gè)句子。請將答案涂在答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上Alaska1In 1868 Americans welcomed Alaska into the Union as the 49th state, symbolizing a change of attitude from that held in 1867 ,when the peninsula was purchased from Russia. Then, most Americans had little interest in 1,500,000 square kilometers “of icebergs and polar bears”beyond Canadas western borders, far from the settled areas of the United States.2In those sections of the state which lie above the Arctic Circle, Alaska still is a land of icebergs and polar bears. Ice masses lie buried in the earth, which is permanently frozen to a depth of 90 or more meters. From early May until early August, the midnight sun never sets on this flat, treeless region, but the sun cannot melt the icy soil more than two-thirds of a meter down.3Alaska is Americas largest state, but only about 325,000 people live there. According to estimates, 800,000 hectares of its land area are fit for plowing but only about 640,000 hectares are being cultivated.4Arctic Alaska has been the home of Eskimos for countless centuries. It is believed that the Eskimos moved there from Mongolia or Siberia, probably crossing Bering Strait, named for Vitus Bering, the Danish sea captain who discovered Alaska on his voyage for Russia in 1741. The Eskimos are the states earliest known inhabitants. Russian fur traders established settlements but, by the time Alaska was sold to the United States, most of the traders had departed.5In 1896 gold was discovered near the Klondike River in Canada just across the Alaskan border. Thousands of Americans rushed to the region on their way to Klondike; some never returned. Alaska was never completely cut off again, although even today transportation is a major problem. There are only two motor routes from the U. S. mainland, and within the state, every town has its own airfield. Planes fly passengers, mail and freight to the most distant villages.6The gold that changed life so suddenly for Alaska was soon ended, and although many stories about mining camps have become part of American literature, the gold from Alaskan earth contributed less to economic progress than the fish from Alaskan waters. The fish caught in a single year range in value from $ 80 million to $ 90 million. Fur-bearing animals are plentiful in the forests and streams, and valuable fur seals inhabit the waters. After fishing, the states chief industry is lumber and the production of wood pulp. In recent years, Alaskas single most important resource has become oil. The state also has large deposits of coal, copper, gold and other minerals.23Paragraph 3 _24Paragraph 4 _25Paragraph 5 _26Paragraph 6 _ ARich resources of the stateBConnections with the outside worldCTransportation problemDThe natives of the landECold climateFLand and population27For as long as three months of a year, the sun _on the ice-covered land of Alaska.28According to statistics, _of the total area of Alaska has been used for farming.29Alaska was originally part of Russia, but was bought _30Gold did not bring to Alaska as much wealth _ Aas fish doesBbecause of its rich natural resourcesCby the United States in the 19th centuryDshines day and nightEonly a very small percentageFa limited amount of the gold found there參考答案：23F這段雖不長，但提供了一些有關(guān)阿拉斯加面積和人口的數(shù)字。24D本段介紹了愛斯基摩人最早是怎樣來到阿拉斯加并成為這片土地永久的居民的。25C這一段的開始雖然談了淘金熱的情況，但主要講的還是阿拉斯加和外界的聯(lián)系，以及它的不那么方便的交通情況。26A這段介紹了阿拉斯加的幾種主要的自然資源，包括魚類、木材、喪皮、石油等。27D本句中缺少謂語動(dòng)詞，在所給的六個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有shines是單數(shù)第三人稱的動(dòng)詞，后面所跟的狀語day and night符合文中內(nèi)容：the midnight SLln never sets。28E本句的主語不完整，of前面缺少一個(gè)名詞短語，從內(nèi)容上看應(yīng)填入E。29C but后面的被動(dòng)語態(tài)的句子使我們很自然就想到或許應(yīng)該有一個(gè)by短語。30A句中出現(xiàn)as much wealth，后面很可能還會(huì)有一個(gè)as引導(dǎo)的句子，否則比較的意潮完整。第四部分：閱讀理解(每題3分，共45分)短文后有5道題，每題后面有4個(gè)選項(xiàng)。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(gè)選項(xiàng)中選擇1個(gè)最佳答案涂在答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上。Mobile Phone and DiseasesA study by scientists in Finland has found that mobile phone radiation can cause changes in human cells that might affect the brain, the leader of the research team said.But Darius Leszczynski, who headed the 2-year study and will present findings next week at a conference in Quebec(魁北克), said more research was needed to determine the seriousness of the changes and their impact on the brain or the body.The study at Finlands Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority found that exposure to radiation from mobile phones can cause increased activity in hundreds of proteins in human cells grown in a laboratory, he said.“We know that there is some biological response. We can detect it with our very sensitive approaches, but we do not know whether it can have any physiological effects on the human brain or human body,” Leszczynski said.Nonetheless the study, the initial findings of which were published last month in the scientific journal Differentiation, raises new questions about whether mobile phone radiation can weaken the brains protective shield against harmful substances.The study focused on changes in cells that line blood vessels and on whether such changes could weaken the functioning of the blood-brain barrier, which prevents potentially harmful substances from entering the brain from the bloodstream, Leszczynski said.The study found that a protein called hsp27 linked to the functioning of the blood-brain barrier showed increased activity due to irradiation and pointed to a possibility that such activity could make the shield more permeable(能透過的), he said.“Increased protein activity might cause cells to shrinknot the blood vessels but the cells themselvesand then tiny gaps could appear between those cells through which some molecules could pass. ” he said.Leszczynski declined to speculate on what kind of health risks that could pose, but said a French study indicated that headache, fatigue and sleep disorders could result.“These are not life-threatening problems but can cause a lot of discomfort,” he said, adding that a Swedish group had also suggested a possible link with Alzheimers disease.“Where the truth is do not know,” he said.Leszczynski said that he, his wife and children use mobile phones, and he said that he did not think his study suggested any need for new restrictions on mobile phone use.36According to Leszczynski, how does mobile phone affect ones health? _AMobile phone radiation can increase protein activities and such activities can make the protective shield more permeable.BMobile phone radiation can shrink the blood vessels and prevent blood from flowing smoothly.CMobile phone radiation will bring stress to people exposed to it.DMobile phone radiation kills blood cells at a rapid speed.37Whats the result of the French study? _AThe harm of mobile phone radiation is life-threatening.BMobile phone may affect ones normal way of thinking.CSleep disorders could result from mobile phone radiation.DA protein called hsp27 is killed by mobile phone radiation.38What kind of disease is not caused by the use of mobile phone? _AFatigue.BHeadache.CAlzheimers disease.DTuberculosis.39According to the passage, what would be the future of the use of mobile phone? _APeople will be forbidden to use mobile phone.BPeople dare not use mobile phone because of its radiation.CPeople will continue to use mobile phone.DThere will be new restrictions on the use of mobile phone.40Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? _AThe research in Finland found that mobile phone radiation will affect ones brain.BMobile phone radiation can cause increased activity in hundreds of protein in human cells.CIncreased protein activity might cause cells to shrink.DLszczynski forbid his wife and children to use mobile phone after his research.參考答案：36A文章論述的是手機(jī)導(dǎo)致人體細(xì)胞變化，所以從“The study found that a protein called hsp27 linked to the functioning of the bloodbrain barrier showed increased activity due to irradiation and pointed to a possibility that such activity could make the shield more permeable(能透過的)”可以判斷答案是A。37C從倒數(shù)第三段的末尾句可以看出，法國的研究成果是手機(jī)輻射是失眠、頭痛等毛病的原因。選項(xiàng)中提到的是其中一條。38D從文章內(nèi)容上看，手機(jī)導(dǎo)致的疾病有好幾種，但都是與頭腦有關(guān)。用排除法可排除Tuberculosis。39C從最后研究人員的幾句話可以判斷手機(jī)影響程度到底如何還不知道，而且提到研究人員自己以及其家人還在用手機(jī)，可推測手機(jī)的使用不會(huì)因?yàn)檫@些還不確切的科學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)而停止。40D此題用排除法比較容易解決。文章最后提到Leszczynski自己、家人都在用手機(jī)，沒有任何跡象表明他禁止他們用手機(jī)，所以答案是D。第五部分：補(bǔ)全短文(第4650題，每題2分，共10分)閱讀下面的短文，文章中有5處空白，文章后面有6組文字，請根據(jù)文章的內(nèi)容選擇5組文字，將其分別放回文章原有位置，以恢復(fù)文章原貌。請將答案涂在答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上。Conservation or Wasted Effort?The black robin (旅鶇) is one of the worlds rarest birds. It is a small, wild bird, and it lives only on the island of Little Mangere, off the coast of New Zealand. In 1967 there were about fifty black robins there; in 1977 there were fewer than ten.46Energetic steps are being taken to preserve the black robin. 47 The idea is to buy an-other island nearby as a special home, a “reserve”, for threatened wild life, including black robins. The organizers say that Little Mangere should then be restocked (重新準(zhǔn)備) with the robins food. Thousands of the required plants are at present being cultivated in New Zealand.Is all this concern a waste of human effort? 48 Are we losing our sense of what is reasonable and what is unreasonable?In the earths long, long past hundreds of kinds of creatures have evolved, risen to a degree of success and died out. In the long, long future there will be many new and different forms of life. Those creatures that adapt themselves successfully to what the earth offers will survive for a long time.49 This is natures proven method of operation.The rule of selection “the survival of the fittest” is the one by which human beings have themselves arrived on the scene. We, being one of the most adaptable creatures the earth has yet produced, may last longer than most, 50 You may take it as another rule that when, at last, human beings show signs of dying out, no other creature will extend a paw (爪) to postpone our departure. On the contrary, we will be hurried out.Life seems to have grown too tough for black robins. I leave you to judge whether we should try to do anything about it.A Some creatures, certain small animals, insects and birds, will almost certainly outlast (比長久)man, for they seem even more adaptable.BThose that fail to meet the challenges will disappear early.CDetailed studies are going on, and a public appeal for money has been made.DBoth represent orders in the classification of life.EIs it any business of ours whether the black robin survives or dies out?FThese are the only black robins left in the world.參考答案：46F這篇文章的主題是保護(hù)珍稀物種。文章第一段講到，離新西蘭不遠(yuǎn)的一座島上生活著一些黑旅鶇，這些鳥已經(jīng)不多了，1967年時(shí)還有50多只，1977年的時(shí)候還剩不到10只。選項(xiàng)F的意思是：這是世界上僅存的黑旅鶇了。邏輯上講，這兩句話的意思是講得通的，these就指前面的black robins，故答案為F。47C第二段第一句說，人們正采取一些積極的辦法來保護(hù)這種鳥類。采取什么辦法呢?選項(xiàng)C說，一方面詳細(xì)的研究工作正在進(jìn)行，另一方面人們已經(jīng)募集了許多錢來從事保護(hù)工作。選項(xiàng)C正是對本段第一句的說明或解釋，故選項(xiàng)C為正確答案。48E選項(xiàng)E是一個(gè)問句，第三段中的第一句和最后一句也是問句。根據(jù)這個(gè)線索我們也可以做出正確選擇。選項(xiàng)E的意思是說，黑旅鶇消失或是保存下來關(guān)我們什么事嗎?把它放到原文中去，意思連起來順暢，故選E。49B文章第四段主要在談地球上的萬物都遵循優(yōu)勝劣汰，適者生存的規(guī)律。選項(xiàng)B就是這個(gè)意思。注意這里的“those”指代的是those creatures。50A這一段還在談適者生存的規(guī)律，其中提到地球上的人類可能比某些物種存活的長久，選項(xiàng)A則說的是，有些物種(一些小動(dòng)物、昆蟲或鳥類)卻比人存活的更久。此旬意思可以和前面的意思連得上，所以選A第六部分：完型填空(第5165題，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(gè)選項(xiàng)，請根據(jù)短文的內(nèi)容從4個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選擇1個(gè)最佳答案，涂在答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上。China to Help Europe Develop GPS RivalChina is to contribute to a new global satellite navigation system being developed by European nations. The Galileo satellite system 51 a more accurate civilian alternative to the Global Positioning System(GPS), operated by the US military. China will provide 230m Euros (USD259m) in 52 and will cooperate with technical, manufacturing and market development. “China will help Galileo to 53 the major world infrastructure for the growing market for location services,” said Loyola de Palacio, EU transport commissioner. A new center that will coordinate co-operation was also announced 54 the European Commission, the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology not long 55 The China-Europe Global Navigation Satellite System Technical Training and Cooperation Center will be 56 at Beijing University. China has a substantial satellite launch industry and could potentially help launch the Galileo satellites.The US has claimed that Galileo could interfere 57 the US ability to downgrade the GPS service during military conflicts. European officials say this is unfounded and counter that US opposition 58 the commercial challenge Galileo would present to GPS. Galileo will be precise to within a meter, while the civilian GPS service is accurate to around 10 meters.The Galileo satellite constellation will 59 27 operational and three reserve satellites orbiting the Earth at an altitude of 23,600km. The satellites will be strung along three medium-Earth orbits at 56 degrees inclination to the equator and will provide global coverage. The system should be operational by 2008 and the entire project is expected to 60 around 3.2 billion Euros (USD3.6 billion).The European Commission has said Galileo will primarily be used for transportation technology, scientific research, land management and disaster monitoring.Galileo will provide two signals: a standard civilian one and in encrypted, wide-band signal 61 the Public Regulated Service (PRS). This second signal is designed to withstand localized jamming and will be used by police and military services in Europe. European Commission 62 have said China will not be given access to the PRS.The first Galileo satellite is scheduled to launch late in 2004. Clocks on board 63 will be synchronized through 20 ground sensors stations, two command centers and 15 uplink stations.Receivers on the ground will use time signals from the satellites to precisely calculate their 64 A “search and rescue” function will also 65 distress signals be relayed through the constellation of satellites.51AofferBofferedCwill offerDhas offered52AfundingBprovidingCpayingDcharging53AbuildBuseCbecomeDdo54AinBatConDby55AbeforeBagoCafterDlater56AfoundBproducedCpositionedDlocated57AwithBforCaboutDabove58Aresults inBgives rise toCis due toDcauses59Abe made fromBconsist ofCconsist inDbe consisted of60As
