Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C and DChoose the one that fits best accordin

21、g to the information given in the passage.AEven plants can run a fever, especially when they're under attack by insects or disease. But unlike human, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet awaystraight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared(紅外線)scanning technology developed for

22、 military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide(殺蟲劑)spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes

23、 plants that don't have pest problems.Even better, Paley's Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed int

24、o a colour­coded map showing where plants were running “fevers”. Farmers could then spot­spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long

25、­term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. “This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the

26、United States, ” says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.36Plants

27、 will send out an increased amount of heat when they are_.Afacing an infrared scannerBsprayed with pesticidesCin poor physical conditionDexposed to excessive sun rays37In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to_.Aestimate the damage to the cropsBdraw a colour

28、3;coded mapCmeasure the size of the affected areaDlocate the problem area38Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by_.Aresorting to spot­sprayingBtransforming poisoned rainCconsulting infrared scanning expertsDdetecting crop problems at an early stage39The application of infrared s

29、canning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties_.Aits high costBthe lack of official supportCthe lack of financial supportDits failure to help increase production40Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of_.Afull support from agricultural experts Bgrowin

30、g concern about the excessive use of pesticides on cropsCthe forceful promotion by the Department of AgricultureDthe desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produceBNuclear­powered aircraft carriers are considered one of the most important marine weapons in the 20th century. So far, o

31、nly two countries in the world, the USA and France, have ever produced them. But these fearful fighting machines are about to enter Asia.The US Navy said last month that one of its nine nuclear­powered aircraft carriers will be sent to Japan to replace the diesel(柴油)­powered carrier Kitty

32、Hawk in 2008. In an agreement on October 30, the two countries also planned to level up their military (軍事的) cooperation and the USA called for Japan to take a larger role in alliance military moves.It will be the first time that a nuclear­powered carrier is based in Japan. Bombed by US forces

33、in World War at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan is the only world country to have been attacked by a nuclear weapon. Therefore, the citizens are highly sensitive to where nuclear­powered weapons are based.“A radiation leak at Yokosuka would kill 100,000 people as far away as Tokyo, and could caus

34、e billions of dollars in damage，” said Masahiko Goto, leader of a protest group in Yokosuka. His group has collected more than 300,000 signatures of people across Japan opposed to the nuclear carrier.The 44­year­old Kitty Hawk, the US Navy's oldest active ship, has been based in Yokosu

35、ka since 1998. It had returned to the US to be decommissioned in 2008. The new carrier, yet to be unveiled,_will travel faster, be capable of supporting longer operations and carry with it the Navy's most modern technology.Experts pointed that this change is not only to strengthen the US­Ja

36、pan military alliance but also to keep the military power of China and North Korea within limits. However, even Japanese experts don't believe that the two countries are threats to the region.“There is no need for Japan to have a nuclear carrier as defense，” said Tetsuo Maeda, an international r

37、elations professor at Tokyo International University. He said that the change of ship indicates an increased military capability in the region, much more than what is needed.41With such a formidable weapon to enter its country, Japanese citizens _.Aare aware of its benefits to the countryBare anxiou

38、s about its potential danger Care curious about the advanced technology Dare against where the carrier will be based42The replacement of the aircraft carrier is intended to_.Aset up a kind of base in Japan Bstrengthen the US­Japan military allianceCshow Japan's greater military capability D

39、get rid of the dated marine weapon43.From the story, we learn that_.Ano other countries except the USA and France possess aircraft carriersBJapan has long planned to increase its military capability with new weaponsCJapan will be the first country in Asia to have a nuclear aircraft carrierDJapan wil

40、l be the third country to produce a nuclear­powered aircraft carrier44The underlined word “unveiled” in the fifth paragraph probably means_.Aperfected Bdiscussed aboutCproduced Dbrought to view45By his remark in the last paragraph, the professor means that_.Ahe is quite confident of their milit

41、ary defenseBhe is completely opposed to a new nuclear carrierCwhat is needed is far more than a nuclear carrierDit is unnecessary to guard against the two countriesCChina_is_going_green. In order to reduce air pollution and oil­shortages, automobile manufacturers have announced their plans to d

42、evelop hybrid vehicles (混合燃料汽車) for the Chinese market. Toyota's hybrid car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week. Let's have a look at the new car.Any vehicle is a hybrid when it combines two or more sources of power. Hybrid cars run off a rechargeable battery and gasoline. Hybrid

43、 cars have special engines, which are smaller than traditional gasoline engines. They run at 99 percent of their power when the car is cruising (勻速行駛). A specially designed battery motor provides extra power for running up hills or when extra acceleration is needed.Step into a Prius, and turn on the

44、 engine. The first thing you notice is how much quieter it is than a traditional car. At this point, the car's gasoline engine is dormant (休眠). The electric motor will provide power until the car reaches about 24 km/h. If you stay at a low speed, you are effectively driving an electric car, with

45、 no gasoline being used, and no waste gas gives off.The onboard(車載的) computer makes the decision about when to use a gas engine, when to go electric, and when to use a combination of the two. If you go over 24 km/h, when you step on the gas pedal (油門), you are actually telling the computer how fast

46、you want to go.The electronic motor recharges automatically using a set of batteries. When driving at high speed, the gasoline engine not only powers the car, but also charges the batteries. Any time you use the brake, the electric motor in the wheels will work like a generator and produce electrici

47、ty to recharge the batteries. As a consequence, the car's batteries will last for around 200,000 miles.46The author writes this passage mainly to_.Ateach people how to drive a hybrid car Bintroduce a new kind of “green” car Cshow how to save their gasoline when driving a car Dannounce plans to d

48、evelop hybrid vehicles for China47The first sentence probably refers to _.Athere will be more and more green land in ChinaBChina is still young and lacking experience CChina's new cars are combinations of different green modelsDChina has started producing environmentally friendly cars48Which of

49、the followings is NOT true?AThe hybrid cars reduce air pollution and oil­shortages.BThe car's gasoline engine doesn't work until it reaches about 24 km/h.CThis kind of car is completely controlled by an onboard computer.DA specially designed battery motor provides extra power when neede

50、d.49What is the most important feature of hybrid cars?AThey are powered by both a rechargeable battery and gasoline.BThey are much quieter than traditional cars.CThey only use 99 percent of their power to run up hills.DThey have smaller engines than traditional gasoline ones.50What can we conclude f

51、rom the story?AThe batteries can be recharged at any time you want.BUsing the brake suggests that the gasoline engine should work.CThe batteries will last for 200, 000 miles without being recharged.DThe gasoline engine charges the batteries as well as powers the car.Part Writing(45 marks)Section A (

Then what are things parents should keep in mind to create fun reading? Take advantage of weather. Be adventurous and make it a game as to where

54、you should read to your child and what. In warm weather, read next to a pond or lake, under a tree, or even in the tree house. One mother reads to her young child in their childrens pool in the backyard during the summer months. Another mom finishes the longed­for daily trip to the park in the

55、spring or fall by reading a book before they leave. Cold months can mix reading activities by having books about snowmen, snowfalls, winter holidays, or sports such as ice skating. Build a reading activity into lifes planning. Children of all ages should learn the connection between reading and know

56、ledge. If your family is adding a flower bed, have children read about how to prepare a bed, what kinds of flowers are suitable for the area of the country and when they should be planted. Getting a new family pet? Read up on varieties of dogs, care required, and even stories about children and their pets. Traveling somewhere? You guessed it, read all about your destination first and you and your children will have the added benefit of knowing more about the area when you arrive. Create a book discussion.
