Micro-chip research center created
A research center has been set up in this far-east country to develop advanced micro-chip production technology. The center, which will start out with about US$14million,will help the country develop its chip industry without always depending on imported technology.
The center will make use of its research skills and facilities to develop new technology for domestic chip plants. The advent of the center will possibly free the country from the situation that it is always buying almost-outdated technologies from other countries, said the country’s flagship chipmaker. Currently, chip plants in this country are in a passive situation because many foreign governments don’t allow them to import the most advanced technologies, fearing they will be used for military purposes. Moreover, the high licensing fees they have to pay to technology provider are also an important reason for their decision of self-reliance.
As mainstream chip production technology shifts from one generation to the next every three to five years, plants with new technology can make more powerful chips at lower costs, while plants with out-dated equipment, which often cost billions of dollars to build, will be marginalized by the maker.
More than 10 chip plants are being built, each costing millions of U.S. dollars. the majority of that money goes to overseas equipment vendors and technology owners- mainly from Japan and Singapore.
Should the new center play a major role in improving the situation in industry, the country admits the US$14million in vestment is still rather small. This country is developing comprehensive technologies. Most of the investment will be spent on setting alliances with technology and intellectual property owners.
练习：
1. The country says that the investment of US$14 million is big enough for developing that country’ chip industry.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
2. That country gives top priorities to developing chips for military purposes.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
3. Although the licensing fees are not very high, that far-east country cannot afford to pay.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
4. Many western countries ban the exporting of the most advanced chip- making technologies to that country to prevent them from being used for military purposes.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
5. Currently, almost all the flagship chipmakers in that country are owned by American investors.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
6. Mainstream chip production technology develop rapidly.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
7. More than 10 chip plants being built in that country are an example of self-reliance.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

More Than 8 Hours Sleep Too Much of a Good Thing
Although the dangers of too little sleep are widely known，new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences.
Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep，as well as a number of other sleep problems，than people who sleep 8 hours a night.People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night’s sleep than 8- hour sleepers.
These findings, which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, demonstrate that people who want to get a good night’s rest may not need to set aside。 more than 8 hours a night.He added that“it might be a good idea’’for people who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed, but cautioned that more research is needed to confirm this.
Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep 一 for instance, one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.
For the current report，Kripke reviewed the responses of 1，004 adults to sleep questionnaires，in which participants indicated how much they slept during the Week and whether they experienced any sleep problems.Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night，arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep，and having fatigue interfere with day- to-day functioning.
KriDke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours.In an interview, Kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed.As evidence，he added that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed.“It stands to reason that if a person spends too long a time in bed, then they’ll spend a higher percentage of time awake.”he said.
1. Paragraph 2 ___.
2. Paragraph 4___.
3. Paragraph 5___.
4. Paragraph 6___.
A. Keprike’s research tool
B. Dangers of Habitual shortages of sleep
C. Criticism on Kripke’s report
D. A way of overcoming insomnia
E. Sleep problems of long and short sleepers
F. Classification of sleep problems
5.To get a good night’s rest，people may not need to ___.
6.Long sleepers are reported to be more likely to___.
7. One of the sleep problems is waking in the middle of the night，unable to___.
8. One survey showed that people who habitually ___each night have a higher risk of dying.
A fall asleep again .
B become more energetic the following day
C sleep less than 7 hours
D confirm those serious consequences
E suffer sleep problems
F sleep more than 8 hours

Stress Level Tied to Education Level
People with less education suffer fewer stressful days, according to a report in the current issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.
However, the study also found that when 1ess- educated people did suffer stress it was more severe and had a larger impact on their health.
From this, researchers have concluded that the day-to- day factors that cause stress are not random.Ⅵ r11ere you are in society determines the kinds of problems that you have each day, and how well you will cope with them.
The research team interviewed a national sample of 1.03 1 adults daily for eight days about their stress level and health.People without a high school diploma reported stress on 30 percent of the study days，people with a high school degree reported stress 38 percent of the time，and people with college degrees reported stress 44 percent of the time.
‘‘Less advantaged people are less healthy on a daily basis and are more likely to have downward turns in their health。’”lead researcher Dr.Joseph Grzywacz，of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, said in a prepared statement.“The downward turns in health were connected with daily stressors.and the effect of daily stressors on their health is much more devastating for the less advantaged.”
Grzywacz suggested follow-up research to determine why less- educated people report fewer days of stress when it is known their stress is more acute and chronic.
“If something happens every day, maybe it’snot seen as a stressor”Grzywacz says.“Maybe it is just 1ife.”
词汇：
stressful adj.紧张的;压力重的
diploma n.毕业文凭，毕业证书
stressor n.紧张刺激物
devastating adj.毁灭性的
follow-up n.(对病人的)随访
1. Stress level is closely related to
A)family size.
B)social status.
C)body weight.
D)work experience.
2.The 1.03 1 adults were interviewed
A)on adaily basis for 8days.
B)during one of eight days.
C)all by Grzywacz.
D)in groups.
3. Which group reported the biggest number of stressful days?
A)People without any education.
B)People without high school degrees.
C)People with high school degrees.
D)People with college degrees.
4.The less advantaged people are，the greater
A)the impact of stress on their health is.
B)the effect of education on their health is
C)the level of their education is.
D)the degree of their health concern is.
5.Less―educated people report fewer days of stress possibly because
A)they don’t want to tell the truth.
B)they don’t want to face the truth.
C)stress is too common a factor in their life.
D their stress is more acute.

A Trip
Every year New Zealanders living in London can be seen loading up Kombi vans and heading off to experience the “classic European holiday”. The trip usually starts in the north of France, after crossing the channel from Dover in England to Calais, driving down through France, over the Pyrenees into Spain, west into Portugal and then across the Continent to Italy and often beyond.
There are numerous reasons young New Zealanders take this rite of passage-as well as seeing all the fantastic sights and tasting the delights of Europe's food and wine, it's relatively inexpensive. The Kombi is transport and accommodation all in one, cutting down significantly on costs.
There is just one problem. As the Kombis become “antique”, these trips are usually punctuated with numerous roadside sessions as the van sits idle, in no hurry to start, while you swelter in the hot sun. But do not let this deter you. Travelling Europe in your own vehicle means no public transport schedules to cramp your style, the ability to explore the quaint, off-the-beaten-track villages where the “real” locals live, freedom to not have to book accommodation in advance--you can nearly always get a campsite and can load your vehicle with cheap, fantastic regional wines and souvenirs. With these bonuses in mind, here are some suggestions for planning the great Europe road adventure. The key to a pleasurable driving experience is a good navigator and a driver with a cool head. If you do not feel relaxed driving around New Zealand's cities and highways, then you probably will not enjoy driving around Europe. As copilot to the driver, you need to read (and understand) maps, look out for turn-offs-and keep the music playing. Language is not a big problem once a few essential terms are mastered. The biggest challenge is in the cities, where traffic can be chaotic and elaborate one-way systems and narrow, cobbled alleyways can make finding your destination hard work. It can be easier to leave the vehicle on the outskirts of town or in a camping ground and use public transport. This also avoids paying for costly parking.
36 According to the passage, the trip usually starts in __________.
A France
B England
C Spain
D Italy
37 The underlined word “Kombi” (Para. 1) most probably means “__________ ”.
A the name of the trip
B the friend going with you
C the brand of the van
D the name of a hotel
38 In the sentence “it's relatively inexpensive.” (Para.2), “it” most probably refers __________.
A the trip
B the transportation
C the accommodation
D the food and wine
39 What is the biggest trouble? __________
A The Kombis become too old.
B Language.
C People may not enjoy the driving experience.
D Finding one's destination is hard for the busy traffic in cities.
40 What is the nationality of the target readers? __________
A New Zealand.
B England.
C France.
D Spain.

Hack
The first big-name hackers include Steve Wozniak, Bill Gates and Linus Torvalds, all now highly recognizable names behind many of the computer technologies used today. These early hackers had a love of technology and a compelling need to know how it all worked, and their goal was to push programs beyond what they were designed to do. Back then, the word “hacker” didn't have the negative connotation it has today. The original hacker ethic, rooted out of simple curiosity and a need to be challenged, appears to be dead.
The objectives of early hackers are a far cry from the goals of today's hacker. The motivation of the new breed of hackers appears not to be curiosity, or a hunger for knowledge, as it used to be. Instead, most of today's hackers are driven by greed, power, revenge, or some other malicious intent, treating hacking as a game or sport, employing the tools that are readily available via the Internet.
The rate of security attacks is actually outpacing the growth of the Internet. This means that something besides the growth of the Internet is driving the rise in security attacks. Here are some realities you should know about: Operating systems and applications will never be secure. New vulnerabilities will be introduced into your environment every day. And even if you ever do get one operating system secure, there will be new operating systems with new vulnerabilities-phones, wireless devices, and network appliances. Employees will never keep up with security polices and awareness. It doesn't matter how much you train and educate your employees. If your employees disregard warnings about the hazards of opening question-able e-mail attachments, how are you going to educate them about properly configuring fire-walls and intrusion detection systems for their PCs? Managers have more responsibility than ever. And on top of the realities listed above, security managers are being asked to support increasing degrees of network availability and access. There are some good security measures you can take: Employ a layer 7, full-inspection firewall. Automatically update your anti-virus at the gateway, server and client. Keep all of your systems and applications updated. Hackers commonly break into a Web site through known security holes, so make sure your servers and applications are patched and up to date. Turn off unnecessary network services. Eliminate all unneeded programs. Scan network for common backdoor services-Use intrusion detection systems, vulnerability scans, antivirus protection.
41 Which of the following statements of Steve Wozniak, Bill Gates and Linus Torvalds is TRUE? __________
A They are all good examples of today's computer users.
B They are driven by greed, power, revenge, or some other malicious intent.
C Their goal is to push programs beyond what they are designed to do.
D They are all dead.
42 The underlined word “hacker” (Para. 1) most probably means “__________ ”
A highly recognizable names behind many of the computer technologies used today
B the negative connotation of those computer users
C a game, employing the tools that are readily available via the Internet
D People who break into computer systems
43 Which of the following is NOT true of security attacks? __________
A Employees will keep up with security polices and awareness if they are highly-trained.
B The rate of security attacks appears faster than the growth of the Internet.
C One's computer system will never be secure.
D Vulnerabilities can go through phones, wireless devices, and network appliances.
44 What is the most important one among the realities listed? __________
A New vulnerabilities will be introduced into your environment every day.
B If employees disregard warnings about the hazards of opening questionable e-mail attachments, the manager should educate them about properly configuring firewalls and intrusion detection systems for their PCs.
C Managers have more responsibility than ever.
D Security managers are asked to support increasing degrees of network availability and access.
45 Various security measures are recommended EXCEPT __________.
A turning off network services
B employing a full-inspection firewall
C making sure that servers and applications are patched
D eliminating all unneeded programs

High Dive
Chery Sterns aims to go boldly where no human has ever gone before in a balloon: 40 kilometers up into the atmosphere. 46 No one has ever leapt from such a height or gone supersonic1 without an airplane or a spacecraft. Yet Sterns, an airline pilot, is not the only person who wants to be the first to accomplish those feats. Two other brave people, an Australian man and a Frenchman, are also planning to make similar leaps.
47 First, she’ll climb into a cabin hanging from a balloon the size of a football field. Then the balloon will take her high into the stratosphere ― the layer of Earth’s atmosphere 12 to 50 kilometers above the planet. “The ascent will take two and a half to three hours.” said Sterns. “I’ll be wearing a fully pressurized, temperature-controlled space suit.”
At 40 kilometers, Sterns will be able to see the gentle curve of Earth and the blackness of space over head. Then she’ll unclip herself from the cabin and dive headfirst, like a bullet, into the atmosphere. 48
For high dive, astronaut escape suits are a key to success. Current pilot and astronaut escape suits are guaranteed only a maximum altitude of 21 kilometers. Del Rosso, a NASA engineer of spacesuits and life-support systems, said the suit designed for Stern’s jump could serve as a model for the lethal environment of higher climbs. 49 The first hazard is oxygen-deficient air. Any person without an additional oxygen supply at 40 kilometers would die within three to five seconds. The second hazard is low atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric presure is much lower at high altitudes than it is at sea level. The low atmospheric pressure of the upper stratosphere causes the gases in body fluids to fizz out of solution like soda bubbles. 50 Other hazards include temperatures as low as -55 degrees Celsius, flying debris, and solar radiation.
For Sterns to survive, her spacesuit will have to protect her from all of these hazards. “A spacesuit is like a one-person spaceship,” Del Rosso explained. “You have to take everything you need in a package that’s light enough, mobile enough, and tough enough to do the job. You can’t exist without it.”
A. It will handle several major hazards.
B. Escape suits are tough enough to stand the atmospheric pressure of the upper stratosphere.
C. From there, she’ll take a death-defying leap back to Earth at supersonic speed.
D. “In 30 seconds, I’ll be going Mach (马赫) speed.” said Sterns.
E. How will Sterns make her giant jump?
F. In short, blood boils.

Avalanche and Its Safety
An avalanche is a sudden and rapid flow of snow, often ______ (51) with air and water, down a mountainside. Avalanches are among the biggest dangers in the mountains for both life and property.
All avalanches are ______ (52) by an over-burden of material, typically snowpack that is too massive and unstable for the slope that supports it. Determining the critical load, the______ (53) of over-burden which is likely to cause an avalanche, is a complex task involving the evaluation of a number of factors.
Terrain slopes flatter than 25 degrees or steeper than 60 degrees ______ (54) have a low ______ (55) of avalanche. Snow does not______ (56) significantly on steep slopes: also, snow does not______ (57) easily on flat slopes. Human triggered avalanches have the greatest incidence when the snow’s angle of rest is ______ (58) 35 and 45 degrees; the critical angle, the angle at which the human incidence of avalanches is greatest is 38 degrees. The rule of thumb is: A slope that is______ (59) enough to hold snow but steep enough to ski has the potential to generate an avalanche, regardless of the angle. Additionally, avalanche risk increases with______ (60); that is, the more a slope is disturbed by skiers, the more likely it is that an avalanche will occur.
Due to the complexity of the subject, winter travelling in the backcountry is never 100% safe. Good avalanche safety is a continuous ______ (61), including route selection and examination of the snowpack, weather ______ (62), and human factors. Several well-known good habits can also ______ (63) the risk. If local authorities issue avalanche risk reports, they should be considered and all warnings should be paid ______ (64) to. Never follow in the tracks of others without your own evaluations: snow conditions are almost certain to have changed since they were made. Observe the terrain and note obvious avalanche paths where plants are _____ (65) or damaged. Avoid traveling below others who might trigger an avalanche.
51. A. mixed B. mixing C. mixes D. have mixed
52. A. increased B. caused C. removed D. encountered
54. A. clearly B. likely C. typically D. surely
53. A. deal B. amount C. number D. much

第二部分 阅读判断
1.B.分析：利用题干中的特征词US$14 million作为答案线索，这样发现答案相关句：The center, which will start out with about US$14million,, will help the country develop its chip industry without always depending on imported technology. (该句句意不足以说明问题句是否正确)
More than 10 chip plants are being built, each costing millions of U.S. dollars. The majority of that money goes to overseas equipment vendors (卖主)and technology owners- mainly from Japan and Singapore.
Should the new center play a major role in improving the situation in the industry, the country admits the US $14 million in vestment is still rather small. (the situation in the industry 的指代内容是解题关键，而前句中提到的是chip industry的发展， 因此判断“the situation in the industry” 就是指“芯片工业的发展情况”，所以根据该句的句意 (1400万美圆的投资仍然是很小数目的投资)判断问题句的说法不正确。)
2.C.分析：以题干中的核心结构military purposes和top priorities作为答案线索 ( 同时注意文章中出现的这些线索结构的近义/反义结构)，于是发现相关句：Currently, chip plants in this country are in a passive situation because many foreign governments don’t allow them to import the most advanced technologies, fearing they will be used for military purposes.
发现答案相关句中没有谈到“优先发展用于军事目的的芯片”，因此判断问题句的说法为“没提到”。
3. C.分析：利用题干中的核心结构licensing fees(执照费)作为答案线索(因为该词是特定的表达，所以可以在文章中只查找该词), 查找答案相关句：Moreover, the high licensing fees (与“are not very high”不矛盾)they have to pay to technology provider are also an important reason for their decision of self- reliance.发现相关句的内容中只涉及到了问题句中的部分内容(有关执照费用的高低问题)，而问题句中提到的 “cannot afford to pay(没能力支付)”在文章中没有对应的内容，因此判断问题句的说法为“没提到”。
4.A.分析：该题所涉及到的相关句在第2题中已经出现了：Currently, chip plants in this country are in a passive situation because many foreign governments don’t allow them to import the most advanced technologies, fearing they will be used for military purposes. (许多国外政府不允许他们进口最先进的技术，因为担心这些技术将被用于军事目的)根据该句句意判断问题句的说法正确。
5. C.分析：利用题干中的核心词flagship chipmakers作为答案线索，这样在文章中找到答案相关句：The advent(出现，到来) of the center will possibly free the country from the situation that it is always buying almost- outdated technologies from other countries, said the country’s flagship chipmaker. 文章中涉及到flagship chipmaker的句子并没有说flagship chipmaker是由美国投资者所拥有， 可见文章中的答案相关句中根本没有反映出问题句中的信息，因此判断该问题句的为没提到。
6. A.分析：利用题干中的核心词Mainstream chip 作为答案线索，这样在文章中找到相关句：As mainstream chip production technology shifts from one generation to the next every three to five years, 该句含义是“主流芯片生产技术每3年到5年就会进行更新换代”，根据该句句意判断问题句的说法“正确”。
7. B.分析：利用题干中的特殊结构 --数量词(10 chip plants)作为答案线索，这样发现答案相关句：More than 10 chip plants are being built, each costing millions of U.S. dollars. The majority of that money goes to overseas equipment vendors and technology owners- mainly from Japan and Singapore. 从相关句中得出的结论恰恰是“依靠他人”，而不是“依靠自己”，因此判断问题句的说法错误。
第三部分 概括大意
1. E： Investigators ...found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling, than... 该句回应了文章的主题―睡眠时间太长不是好事;对应被选项发现只有E和F与这个内容有关系，但段落最后一句中又提到了睡眠不足的人的问题，因此判断E是答案(睡眠长和睡眠短的人所面临的睡眠问题)。
2.B.分析：段落的结构 -- Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep 一for instance..表明了该段的中心是讲述“长期睡眠不足的潜在危险”
3. A. 分析：对于该段落答案的选择具有一定的迷惑性，A和F容易相互成为干扰项，但由于段落中提到的“睡眠问题”是属于问卷上要回答的内容，是和Keprike的直接研究有关，所以判断A是答案。同时猜测F可能是干扰项
4. D： 段落中出现的Kripke found， Kripke noted和he added表明“Kripke的观点和态度应该是该段的中心”，对比被选项排除 C(段落中没有出现批评的话语)和F(段落中没有具体提到睡眠问题的表现形式)，而段落最后第2句提到了克服失眠的方法―少花时间在床上，与D呼应。
5.F.分析：根据搭配结构need to do sth.判断所有选项都在语法上合适。借助搭配句意：“为了获得晚上好的休息，人们没有必要。。”判断F(睡眠超过8小时)。
6.E.分析：借助搭配句意：“睡眠时间长的人根据报道更有可能。。”，并结合文章主题―睡眠时间长不是好事情，判断E合适。也可借助文章中的相关内容(利用题干中的Long sleepers和more likely 作为答案线索)：KriDke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours.
7. A. 分析：借助搭配句意：“其中的一个睡眠问题是在午夜醒来，不能。。”，直接判断A(再次入睡)合适。
8. C.分析：借助搭配句意：“一项调查显示那些习惯性每晚...的人有更高的死亡风险。”
第四部分 阅读理解
第一篇
1. B 从文章题目便可得知，一个人的紧张程度与其受教育的程度挂钩，而受教育的程
度又直接影响一个人的社会地位。因此，文章第三段提到，一个人的社会地位决定了
其每日所面临的问题和处理这些问题的能力。由此可见，紧张程度与社会地位密切相
关。
2. A 文章第四段提到，研究人员对全国抽样的1 031名成人连续八天每天进行采访。
3. D 从文章第四段可以得知，调查对象学历越高，自己所报告的紧张天数便越多。
4. A 文章第五段提到，一个人的社会地位越低，紧张对其健康造成的危害也就越大。
5. C 文章最后两段提到，受教育程度越低者所报告紧张天数越少的原因有可能是他们
对紧张因素己司空见惯，视其为生活的一部分，而不是什么特别值得注意的。
第二篇
36 B本题询问的是旅程从哪国开始。从文章的第一段可以判断B为正确答案，容易混淆的是“法国”，但那是从英国的多佛港口经海峡到法国的加来港口。
37 C这里要求猜测单词“Kombi”的意义。根据上下文，作者反复强调使用Kombi的方便和便宜，可见其是一种交通工具，因此选项C是正确答案。
38 A此题要求猜测在句子“it’s relatively inexpensive."中的“it”指什么，应该是A，即旅游本身。其依据在第二段“The Kombi is transport and accommodation all in one，cutting down significantly on costs".由此可见因为Kombi可以集交通和住宿于一身，费用就可以大大得以降低。
39 D本题询问的是最大的麻烦是什么。虽然A、B、C都有所提及，但都不是最大的麻烦。根据第三段中“The biggest challenge is in the cities，where traffic can be chaotic and elaborate one―way systems and narrow，cobbled alleyways can make finding your destination hard work.”得出结论D为正确答案，即最大的麻烦是在城市中，交通混乱，繁琐的单向通行制度和狭窄的圆石路小巷会使你很难找到你的目的地。
40 A本题询问的是文章的目标读者会是何种国籍。根据第三段中“If you do not feel relaxed driving around New Zealand’s cities and highways，then you probably will not enjoy driving around Europe.”可见A为正确答案。
第三篇
41 C本题的相关信息在文章的第一段。Steve Wozniak，Bill Gates and Linus Torvalds都是一些早期的著名黑客，不同于现今的黑客，他们都是出于好奇，勇于挑战计算机和网络科技的漏洞，并以此推动计算机和网络科技的进步。
42 D黑客指的是计算机和网络科技的老师，可以进入计算机系统，所以D是正确答案。
43 A依据是第三段中“Employees will never keep up with security polices and awareness. It doesn't matter how much you train and educate your employees”。
44 D在“And on top of the realities listed above，security managers are being asked to support increasing degrees of network availability and access.”这一句中，“top”的意思就是“the most important”，所以正确答案应为D。
45 A其依据是“Turn off unnecessary network services.”即关闭不必要的网络服务，而不是关闭所有的网络服务。一字之差，却相去甚远，要注意辨析。
