PARTⅣ READING COMPREHENSION
(45minutes,30points,1point each)
Directions:In this part of the test,there are five short passages.Read each passage carefully,and then do the questions that follow.Choose the best answer from the four choices given and mark the corresponding letter with asingle bar across the square brackets on your machine-scored Answer Sheet.
Passage One
To improve everything from fuel economy to performance,automotive researchers are turning to"mechatronics,"the integration of mechanical systems with new electronic components and software control.Because lives will depend on such mechatronic systems,Rolf Isermann,an engineer in Germany,is using software that can identify and correct flaws in real time to make sure the technology functions perfectly.
In order to do mechatronic braking right,Isermann's group is developing software that tracks data from three sensors:one detects the flow of electrical current to the brake actuator;a second tracks the actuator's position;and the third measures its clamping force.Isermann's software analyzes those numbers to detect faults and flashes adashboard warning light,so the driver can get the car serviced before the fault leads to failure.
"I think people are now becoming aware electronic devices are safer than mechanical ones,for you can build in fault diagnoses and fault tolerance,"says Karl Hedrick,a mechanical engineer.
Isermann is also working to make engines run cleaner.He is developing software that detects ignition problems.Because it's not practical to have asensor inside acombustion chamber,Isermann's system relies on data from sensors that measure oxygen levels in exhaust and track the speed of the mechanism that delivers the engine's force to wheels.Tiny fluctuations in this speed accompanied by changes in emissions reveal failures of ignition,when the software can warn the driver or automatically fix the problem.
Partnerships with manufacturing companies merge the basic research with industry's development of such technologies in actual cars.Isermann says that“80to90percent of the innovations in engines and cars these days are due to electronics and mechatronics.”Mechatronic systems were found mainly in aircraft and industrial equipment or in small precision components.But new applications in cars have increased the number of groups working on mechatronics.The trend has been fueled by falling prices for microprocessors and sensors,stricter vehicle-emissions regulations,and automakers'willingness to enhance their vehicles with additional comfort and performance features.
Although the luxury market looms largest today—new high-end models from BMW contain over70microprocessors that control more than120tiny motors—mechatronics will be moving into wider car markets within five years.With software like Isermann's on board,the electronic veins of these new driving machines should be as sturdy and reliable as steel.

Passage Two
Goldberg,a plant molecular biologist at the University of California,expresses despair at the persistent need to confront what he sees as false fears over the health risks of genetically modified(GM)crops.Particularly frustrating to him is that this debate should have ended decades ago,when researchers produced astream of compelling evidence:"Today we're facing the same objections we faced40years ago."
Across campus,David Williams,a cellular biologist,has the opposite complaint."A lot of naive science has been involved in pushing this technology,"he says."Thirty years ago we didn't know that when you throw any gene into adifferent genome,the genome reacts to it.But now anyone in this field knows the genome is not astatic environment.Inserted genes can be transformed by several different means,and it can happen generations later."The result,he insists,could very well be potentially toxic plants slipping through testing.
Williams concedes that he is among atiny minority of biologists raising sharp questions about the safety of GM crops.But he says this is only because the field of plant molecular biology is protecting its interests.Funding,much of it from the companies that sell GM seeds,heavily favors researchers who are exploring ways to further the use of genetic modification in agriculture.He says that biologists who point out health or other risks associated with GM crops—who merely report or defend experimental findings that imply there may be risks—find themselves the focus of vicious attacks on their credibility,which leads them to keep quiet.
Whether Williams is right or wrong,one thing is undeniable:despite overwhelming evidence that GM crops are safe,the debate over their use is growing louder.Proponents say the technology is the only way to feed awarming,increasingly populous world.Critics claim we interfere with nature at our peril.Skeptics would argue that this debate is agood thing—that we cannot be too cautious when coping with the genetic basis of food supply.To researchers such as Goldberg,however,the persistence of fears about GM foods is nothing short of irritating."Despite millions of genetic experiments involving every type of organism on earth,"he says,"and people eating billions of meals without aproblem,we've gone back to being ignorant."
So who is right:advocates of GM or critics?Only time can answer you.
57.Goldberg is convinced that GM crops.
A.pose arisk to health
B.are quite safe to eat
C.should be subject to criticism
D.are worth questioning
58.David Williams raises concerns about.
A.the potential toxicity of GM crops
B.the reliability of genome research
C.the future development of genetics
D.the verified toxicity of GM crops
59.Paragraph Three is focused on.
A.how biology companies protect their own interests
B.why Williams raises sharp questions about GM crops
C.who points out problems associated with GM crops
D.what the majority of biologists think of GM crops
60.It can be concluded from Paragraph Four that.
A.critics of GM foods outnumber proponents
B.more people will stop consuming GM foods
C.the debate over the use of GM foods will continue
D.people are ignorant of the safety of GM foods
61.The underlined words in Paragraph Four probably mean.
A.far from irritating
B.anything but irritating
C.a little bit irritating
D.absolutely irritating
62.This passage aims to describe genetically modified foods.
A.the benefits of
B.the controversy about
C.the prospects of
D.the disadvantages of
Passage Three
Historians of the American Civil War find themselves in the same unenviable position as Shakespeare scholars:so thoroughly have their fields of study been explored that finding anearly virgin corner is all but impossible.But Don Doyle has broken new ground in an enlightening and compellingly written book,"The Cause of All Nations."More than any previous study,it tells the story of how America's Civil War was perceived,debated and reacted to abroad,and how that reaction shaped the course of the war at home.
At the war's outset,however,things were not so simple.Southern diplomats framed their struggle in accordance with liberal principles of self-determination.They judged the conflict,Mr Doyle notes,to be"one arising naturally between industrial and agricultural societies,not freedom and slavery as the North believed."The North's response,meanwhile,was uncompromising,legalistic and violent.America's Secretary of State threatened to"wrap the whole world in flames,"promising total war on any state that dared aid the South.
Most historians of the Civil War turn inward at the end and examine the war's
consequences and legacy for America.Mr Doyle turns outward to show how important America's Civil War was to the rest of the world:liberty and democracy defeated slavery and the landed gentry.
The Union's victory had wider impacts.In Spain,Queen Isabella,fearing American naval power,ended the attempted re-colonization of Santo Domingo.Ulysses Grant,a Civil War general,turned his military attention to Mexico,where NapoleonⅢhad installed an Austrian,Maximilian,as emperor.When the threat of an alliance between France and the South was smashed,Napoleon withdrew his support and in1867Maximilian was executed by Mexican troops.Across the ocean,Britain's republicans marched to victory that same year.Democracy had not just survived,but flourished.
After Lincoln's death,a French newspaper wrote that he"represented the cause of democracy in the largest and the most universal understanding of the word.That cause is our cause,as much as it is that of the United States."In honor of the Union's victory aFrench artist crafted astatue out of copper sheeting,a figure representing freedom,tall and proud,holding atorch high.The Statue of Liberty stands today in New York harbor,the copper now green with age,her gaze fixed across the Atlantic on Europe.
63.Shakespeare is mentioned in the first paragraph to illustrate that.
A.historians of the Civil War should learn from Shakespeare
B.new discoveries are easy concerning the cause of the Civil War
C.the Civil War has been studied as extensively as possible
D.the Civil War and Shakespeare's works are known worldwide
64.The book entitled"The Cause of All Nations"is focused on.
A.the impact of the Civil War on other countries
B.factors that caused the outbreak of the Civil War
C.the political difference between the North and the South
D.the consequences of the Civil War for America
65.The North regarded the Civil War as awar.
A.between industrial and agricultural states B.between slaves and slave-owners
C.between freedom and slavery
D.between the government and people
66.Paragraph Four is mainly concerned with.
A.the effect of incidents abroad on the Civil War
B.contributions of Europeans to the Union's victory
C.numerous conflicts between European countries
D.effects of the Union's victory on other countries
67.According to this passage,which of the following statements is true?
A.The author of this passage thinks highly of this book by Don Doyle.
B.The Statue of Liberty was crafted in honor of Abraham Lincoln.
C.The North won the Civil War with the support from Europe.
D.The Civil War was caused by French diplomatic policies.
68.This passage is probably a.
A.personal letter
B.research paper
C.book review
D.fairy tale
Passage Four
Most people under30consider email an outdated mode of communication used only by"old people."Instead,they text or post to Facebook.They attach documents,photos,videos,and links to their text messages and Facebook posts the way people over30do with email.Many people under20now see Facebook as amedium for the older generation.
For them,texting has become the primary mode of communication.It offers privacy phone calls don't and immediacy email can't.Crisis hotlines have begun accepting calls from at-risk youth via texting with two big advantages:they can deal with more than one person at atime,and pass the conversation on to an expert without interrupting the conversation.
However,texting discourages thoughtful discussion or detail.Addictive problems are compounded by texting's immediacy.Emails take some time and they require that you take the step of explicitly opening them.Text messages magically appear on the screen and demand immediate attention.Add to that the social expectation that an unanswered text feels insulting to the sender,and you've got arecipe for addiction:you receive atext,which activates your novelty centers.You respond and feel rewarded."More!More!Give me more!"
In afamous experiment,neuroscientists placed asmall electrode in the brains of rats,in aregion known as the pleasure center that"lights up"when gamblers win abet or drug addicts take cocaine.A lever in the cage allowed the rats to send asmall electrical signal directly to this center.Boy how they did!They liked it so much that they did nothing else.They forgot all about eating and sleeping.Long after they were hungry,they ignored tasty food if they had achance to press that little bar.The rats just pressed the lever over and over again until they died of starvation and exhaustion.
Each time we dispatch atext message,we feel asense of accomplishment,and our brain gets asmall amount of reward hormones telling us we accomplished something.Each time we check aTwitter feed or Facebook update,we encounter something novel and feel more connected socially and get more reward hormones.But remember,it is the dumb,novelty-seeking portion of the brain that induces this feeling of pleasure,not the planning,scheduling,higher-level thought centers in the brain.You can now decide for yourself whether email-,Facebook-and Twitter-checking constitute aneural addiction.
69.The most popular mode of communication for those under20is.
A.email
B.Facebook
C.texting
D.phone calls
70.Paragraph Three is focused on.
A.advantages of email over text messages
B.addiction and immediacy caused by texting
C.benefits of sending text messages
D.the need to answer atext message
71.An experiment is mentioned in Paragraph Four as evidence that.
A.rats enjoy playing electronic games
B.animals are mal-treated in alaboratory
C.rats are too stupid to survive an experiment
D.addiction or obsession can be fatal
72.It seems to the author that the sense of accomplishment.
A.is of health benefit to humans
B.can induce reward hormones
C.mainly depends on email alone
D.helps overcome addiction
73.The author of this passage believes that checking email,Twitter and Facebook.
A.can help maintain social relations
B.contributes to planning and thought
C.may induce aneural addiction
D.can expose you to something novel
74.This passage is intended to.
A.discourage the use of cell phones
B.tell us to stop using email if possible
C.describe the adverse effects of texting
D.tell us how to prevent addiction to texting
Passage Five
I'm writing this after hearing the apparently encouraging news that anew lung cancer treatment is capable of giving sufferers apossible"extra200days"of life.Another morning,another"battle against cancer"fought,and in this case won—sort of.
Yet Ifind myself rather in sympathy with the one in five Dutch doctors who,it was reported this week,would consider helping someone die even if they had no physical problems but were"tired of living."Because these doctors have the maturity to face the fact that life has anatural end.
The weary truth is that there are just so many"battles,"and they appear to be multiplying all the time.A new drug to treat strokes.A breakthrough in the"war"against heart disease.We are fed,daily,the hopeful news:fatal disease is slowly on the retreat.But there's always one more,and sooner or later we all lose.
An extra200days for lung cancer sufferers.I found myself wondering—what kind of days?Of course,all days may seem worth living when death is approaching.But sometimes the endless quest to extend our days seems fruitless.In the constant narratives of"triumphs"over disease,we are not engaged in astruggle against disease,but death itself.We are only partially rational beings—and at the non-rational level,we believe medicine will save us from our fates.
Most cancers are driven by random mistakes in cell division that are outside our control.Yet for many the thought won't quite go away.Thus,we are never quite at peace,because we are always working hard to keep our eyes from staring at the sun.We immerse ourselves in trivial distractions—shopping,loud music,flashing lights.
My father died at age87,and my regret about his death is that he didn't die afew months sooner.The clinging on to life meant that eventually he died unable to speak or hear,totally cut off from the world.A lonely hospital death that had it been faced earlier,could have been altogether more human.The battle against mortal disease can never be won because it is abattle against the inevitable.To face our fate is to have the courage to live,even if it means dying alittle earlier than the experts,and even our families,might—perhaps with more kindness than wisdom—insist.
75.The author is likely to be the type of news mentioned in the first paragraph.
A.disinterested in
B.encouraged by
C.curious about
D.surprised with
76.It can be inferred from the third paragraph that the author.
A.doesn't believe in these battles against fatal diseases
B.is convinced that deadly diseases will become curable
C.is excited about the advances in the medical science
D.finds the battles against fatal diseases are decreasing
77.It seems to the author that the extra200days for patients of lung cancer are.
A.really worth living
B.not really worth living
C.of inestimable value
D.a medical miracle
78.Paragraph Five implies that many people.
A.love fighting
B.are very busy
C.are very lazy
D.fear death
79.The author mentions his father in the last paragraph to.
A.prove that most people die miserable at old age
B.show his father's courage to face up to death
C.argue that sometimes earlier death means less pain
D.reveal his intense sadness over his father's death
80.The author's purpose in writing this passage is to.
A.remind us that doctors are more kind than wise
B.tell people to learn to face death with courage
C.encourage mortal patients to prolong their lives
D.advise patients of cancer to give up medication

Section A(15minutes,10points)
Directions:Put the following paragraph into Chinese.Write your Chinese version in the proper space on Answer SheetⅡ.
If humans are capable of sacrificing collective benefit in the name of stabilizing an economic system that renders daily life more expensive,then humans will be able to make important lifestyle changes in the interest of stabilizing the physical systems upon which all of life depends.Many of the changes that need to be made to dramatically cut emissions would substantially improve the quality of life for the majority of people—from allowing kids in Beijing to play outside without wearing pollution masks to creating good jobs in clean energy sectors for millions.We could commit ourselves to radically cutting our fossil fuel emissions and beginning the shift to zero-carbon sources of energy based on renewable technology.
