8.The crisis at Japan's Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear energy center has raised questions about the future of the nuclear energy industry.Arjun Makhijani is president of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research in the United States.He says the disaster in Japan is historic.
This week,the chairman of America's nuclear agency said there is little chance that harmful radiation from Japan could reach the United States.Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jaczko also said America has a strong program in place to deal with earthquake threats.No new nuclear power centers have been built in the United States since 1979.That was when America's worst nuclear accident happened at the Three Mile Island center in Pennsylvania.The accident began to turn public opinion against nuclear energy.
To support more clean energy production,the Obama government has been seeking billions of dollars in government loan guarantees to build new centers.Presently,about twenty percent of electricity in the United States comes from nuclear energy.But critics say nuclear power is too costly and dangerous to be worth further expansion.
German prime minister Angela Merkel said Germany would doae all seven nuclear power centers for a moment while energy policy is reconsidered.The European Union is planning to test all centers in its twenty-seven member nations.
Developing nations are less willing to slow nuclear expansion.China said it would continue with plans to build about twenty-five new nuclear plants.And India,under a cooperation agreement with the United States,plans to spend billions on new centers in the coming years.
Japan has made nuclear energy a national priority since the 1970s.Unlike many major economies,Japan imports eighty percent of its energy.The Nuclear Energy Institute said twenty-nine percent of Japan's electricity came from nuclear sources in 2011.The government planned to increase that to forty percent by 2017.
Nuclear plants supply fourteen percent of global electricity.Nuclear energy is a clean resource,producing no carbon gases.But radioactive waste is a serious unresolved issue.So is the presence of nuclear oower centers in earthquake areas like the one near Bushehr.Iran.
71.Which of the following countries is the least likely to expand its use of nuclear energy?D
A.China.                          B.India.             
C.Iran.                           D.Germany.
72.The government of Japan intended to increase its nuclear energy in 2017 by          compared with 2011.D
A.29%            B.40%            C.69%                  D.11%
73.Which of the following statements about the use of nuclear power in the U.S.is TRUE?D
A.Most of the electricity comes from nuclear energy in the U.S.
B.The Obama government is against building nuclear power plants.
C.A small number of nuclear power plants have been built since 1979.
D.A serious nuclear accident happened in America at the end of the 1970s.
74.What's the main idea of this passage?B
A.The nuclear crisis in Japan has spread to other parts of the world.
B.The situation of the world's nuclear power development after the crisis in Japan
C.Japan's nuclear disaster will slow the expansion of nuclear plants all over the world
D.Japan's nuclear disaster won't affect the nuclear energy production in other countries.
75.From the last sentence of the passage,we can see the writer's attitude toward building a nuclear power plant near Bushehr,Iran isC.     
A.supportive       B.optimistic       C.negative               D.uncertain.

7.The cheapest room and board in Jefferson City,Missouri,over the weekend was at the county jail(監(jiān)獄),and 170 people gladly checked in.Cole County charged $ 30 a night for anyone who volunteered to go behind bare on Friday or Saturday night.So officials could give the new jail a test run before it opened for real this week.People from three states spent the night at the jail,including some lawyers and a couple celebrating their first anniversary. 
"It was something they could experience without having to get a criminal record,"Cole County Sheriff (治安官)Greg White said."They spent the night and gained all understanding that they would not want to ever do this again."
Jailers tried to give the citizens the full experience.They were told to give up their jewelry,cell phones,and other personal belongings.They were booked and photographed and led into the jail commons. They could keep their cell doors open,but that trapped feeling was still there because me outer room doors were locked,said Bob Watson,60,a reporter for the Jefferson City News-Tribune who spent Friday night at the jail."While it was not a true copy of jail,you got some sense of what it's like to hear that door lock behind you,"Watson said.
Two other feelings were boredom and a lack of choice,illustrated by the television being left on one channel and drowned out anyway by everybody talking.
Bed was a steel bunk with a thin mattress (墊).Overhead,a 40-watt bulb stayed lit through the night in each cell.Handy for guards to see inmates,but not helpful to good sleep.How about the food?Dinner Friday night included cheesy pasta with turkey bits and coffee cake."I wouldn't pay for it in a restaurant,but you won't die trying to eat it,"Watson said.
56.The 170 people stayed in the county jail toA.
A.make a holiday                       B.get punishment                
C.do a research                        D.makemoney
57.What's the main idea of the 3rd paragraph?C
A.The jailers performed their duty well.           
B.The jail's test run proved successful.
C.The 170 had the feeling of real prisoners.       
D.The 170 weren't treated as real prisoners.
58.The underlined phrase"illustrated by…"is used toC.
A.introduce a new topic                B.draw a conclusion             
C.give an example                      D.show the result
59.The 170 people were able toDin the county jail.
A.make phone calls                     B.sleep well            
C.go around freely                     D.chat with others
60.How did Watson like the food?B
A.He enjoyed it.                     
B.He didn't like it.
C.He thought it equaled a restaurant's.            
D.He didn't eat Mat all.

5.It's 10p.m.You may not know where your child is,but the chip does.
The chip will also know if your child has fallen and needs immediate help.Once doctors arrive,the chip will also be able to tell them which drugs are not suitable for little Jonny or Janie.At the hospital,the chip will tell doctors his or her complete medical history.And of course,when you arrive to pick up your child,setting the hospital bill with your health insurance policy will be a simple matter of waving your own chip  the one embedded(植入) in your hand.
To some,this may sound unbelievable.But the technology for such chips is no longer the stuff of science fiction.And it may soon offer many other benefits besides locating lost children or elderly patients.It could be used as credit cards and people won't have to carry wallets anymore.
On the other hand,some are already wondering what this sort of technology may do to the sense of personal privacy and liberty.
"Any technology of this kind could result in abuse of personal privacy,"says Lee Tien,senior staff lawyer for the Electronic Frontier Foundation."If a kid can be tracked,do you want other people to be able to track your kid?It's a double-edged sword."
Applied Digital Solutions,Inc.in Palm Beach,F(xiàn)lorida,says it has recently applied to the Food and Drug Admission for permission to begin testing its device in humans.About the size of a grain of rice,the microchip can be coded with bits of information and embedded in humans under a layer of skin.When scanned by a nearby reader,the embedded chip gives the data.
Most embedded chip designs are so-called passive chips,which give information only when scanned by a nearby reader.But active chips such as the proposed Digital Angel of the future  will give out information all the time.And that means designers will have to develop some sort of power source that can provide a continuous source of energy,yet be small enough to be embedded with the chips.
In addition to technical problems,many suspect that all sorts of legal and privacy issues would have to be cleared as well.

68.By using the example in the first two paragraphs,the author wants to tell us thatC.
A.chips are usually used to locate lost children
B.chips are more convenient than credit cards
C.chips will soon be useful in many aspects of daily lives
D.chips will bring out the issue of abuse of personal privacy
69.What is the attitude of Lee Tien towards the chips?D
A.Negative      B.Positive      C.Indifferent  D.Concerned
70.Which of the following statements about Digital Angel is NOT true?B
A.It will include a chip and a power source.
B.It will be produced and replace passive chips.
C.It will be embedded in humans under a layer of skin.
D.It will give information without being scanned by a reader.
71.It is indicated in the passage that chip producers have to consider the following issues EXCEPTA.
A.financial problems             B.technical problems
C.legal problems                 D.privacy problem.

3.Australia-The vote for euthanasia (安樂死) was finally taken at 3:45this morning.After six months'argument and final 16hours'hot debates.Australia's Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die.The bill was passed by the vote of 15to 10.Almost immediately world flashed on the Internet and was picked up,half a world away,by John Hofsess,the director of the Right to Die Society of Canada.He sent it on through the group's on-line service,Death NET.Hofsess says,"We posted it all day long,because this isn't just something that happened in Australia.It's world history."
The full import may take a while to understand.The NT Rights of the Terminally Ill law has left physicians and citizens trying to deal with its moral and practical implications.Some have breathed sighs of relief; but others,including churches,right to life groups and the Australian Medical Association,bitterly attacked the bill and the haste of its passage.But the tide is unlikely to turn back.In Australia--where an aging population,life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part-other states are going to consider making a similar law to for euthanasia.In the U.S.and Canada,where the right to die movement is gathering strength,observers are waiting for the dominoes (多米諾骨牌) to start failing.

45.According to the text,which of the following statements is TURE?B
A.Australia now us the only country in the world to pass the law of euthanasia.
B.All people in Australia don't have the same positive attitude to euthanasia.
C.Many patients will ask their doctors for euthanasia because they are afraid of death.
D.According to the law,if a patient requests death,his or her wish will be met after 48hours.
46.The underlined sentence in Para 2,"observes are waiting for the dominoes to start falling."means that observes are waiting to seeD.
A.the result of the game of dominoes.
B.that people's attitude to euthanasia will be changed.
C.that the bill about euthanasia in Australia will come to an end.
D.the similar bills will be passed in other countries.
47.Australia was the first country to pass the bill of euthanasia,but not USA or Canada.Which one is NOT the reason?B
A.In Australia,the technology of extending life is advanced.
B.In Australia,it is easy to deal with the moral and practical meaning.
C.In Australia,old people take up great part in the population of the whole country.

1.Downloading music over the Internet is pretty common among high school and college students.However,when students download and share copyrighted music without permission,they are against the law.
A survey of young people's music ownership has found that teenagers and college students have an average of more than 800illegally copied songs each on their digital music players.Half of those surveyed share all the music on their hard drive (硬盤),enabling others to copy hundreds of songs at any one time.Some students were found to have randomly linked their personal blogs to music sites,so as to allow free trial listening of copyrighted songs for blog visitors,or adopted some of the songs as the background music for their blogs.Such practices may be easy and free,but there are consequences.
Sandra Dowd,a student of Central Michigan University,was fined US7,500fordownloading501filesfromLimeWire,apeer-to-peerfilesharingprogram.Sandraclaimedthatshewasunawarethatherdownloadswereillegaluntilshewascontactedbyauthorities.Similarly,MikeLewinskipaidUS4,000to settle a lawsuit(起訴)against him for copyright violation (違反).Mike expressed shock and couldn't believe that this was happening to him."I just wanted to save some money and I always thought the threat was just a scare tactic(戰(zhàn)術).""You know,everyone does it,"added Mike.
The RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America),the organization that files lawsuits against illegal downloaders,states that suing (控告) students was by no means their first choice.Unfortunately,without the threat of consequences,students are just not changing their behavior.Education alone is not enough to stop the extraordinary growth of the illegal downloading practice.

69.What does Mike mean by saying that"the threat was just a scare tactic"?D
A.One should not be afraid of threats.
B.A lawsuit will result from the threat.
C.It is unfair to scare people with a threat.
D.No serious consequence will follow the threat.
70.What is RIAA's attitude towards students'illegal downloading behavior?D
A.They believe that education will help greatly in protecting copyrights.
B.They profit from the fines illegal downloaders pay for copyright violations.
C.They like to sue students for downloading music illegally from the Internet.
D.They think that illegal downloading behavior needs tough measures to correct.
71.What's the best title for this passage?A
A.Copyright Violators,Beware!
B.How to Get Free Music Online!
C.A Survey of Students'Downloading Habits
D.Get rid of Illegal Music Download?Impossible!

20.According to sociologists,there are several different ways in which a person may become recognized as the leader of a social group in the United States.In the fanfily traditional cultural patterns confer (~z~,) leadership on one or both of the parents.In other cases,such as friendship groups,one or more persons may gradually emerge as leaders,although there is no formal process of selection.In larger groups,leaders are usually chosen
formally through election or recruitment.
Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability,decades of research have failed to produce consistent evidence that there is any category of"natural
leaders."It seems that there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common;rather,virtually any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group.
Furthermore,although it is commonly supposed that social groups have a single leader,research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals.Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group.Group members look to instrumental leaders to"get things done."
Expressive leadership,on the other hand,is leadership that emphasizes the collective well-beings of a social group's members.Expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them.Group members expect expressive leaders to maintain stable relationships within the group and provide support to individual members.
Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members.They give orders and may discipline group members who prohibit attainment (達到) of the group's goals.Expressive leaders cultivate a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group.They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties or is subjected to discipline,are quick to lighten a serious moment with humor,and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the group.As the difference in these two roles suggests,expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection from group members;
instrumental leaders,if they are successful in promoting group goals,may enjoy a more distant respect.

72.Which of the following statements about leadership can be inferred from paragraph 2?B
A.Few people succeed in sharing a leadership role with another person.
B.A person who is an effective leader of a particular group may not be an effective leader in another group.
C.A person can best learn how to be an effective leader by studying research on leadership.
D.Most people desire to be leaders but can produce little evidence of their qualifications.
73.The passage indicates that instrumental leaders generally focus onC.
A.ensuring harmonious relationships
B.sharing responsibility with group members
C.achieving a goal
D.identifying new leaders
74.A"secondary relationship"between a leader and the members of a group could best be described asA.
A.distant                              B.enthusiastic
C.sympathetic                          D.personal
75.What does the passage mainly discuss?D
A.The problems faced by leaders.
B.How leadership differs in small and large groups.
C.How social groups determine who will lead them.
D.The role of leaders in social groups.
