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, Genera's 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参考答案：16A本题的意思是：Genera技术公司研制出一种方法，这种方法可以确定水是否是清洁的。题句的意思与原文第二句相符，故选A。17C本题的意思是：在成立Genera公司之前，Parton曾在一家英国水厂工作。原文中并没有提到公司成立前Parton是否在一家英国水厂工作，故选C。18B本题可译为：这种新产品在美国获得了商业上的巨大成功。原文的意思是预计该产品在美国会卖得很好，还没在美国上市呢。本题句的意思与原文不符，故选B。19A本题可译为：这种测试产品每件售价42 500美元。同原文意思相符，故选A。20B本题可译为：年底前，Genera公司又订购了25件这种测试产品。Genera公司本身是卖这种测试产品的，不是它又订购了25件这种产品。与原文意思相反，故选B。21C本题的意思是：英国政府正帮助Parton销售这种产品。原文根本没有提到这一信息，故选C。22A本题可译为：最近，Genera的雇员增加了。见原文最后一段，原来公司里有5位雇员，现在增加到14位，故选A。第三部分：概括大意与完成句子(第2330题，每题1分，共8分)阅读下面这篇短文，短文后有2项测试任务：(1)第2326题要求从所给的6个选项中为第1、3、4、6段每段选择1个正确的小标题;(2)第2730题要求从所给的6个选项中选择4个正确选项，分别完成每个句子。请将答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上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 Canada's 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 America's 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 state's 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 state's chief industry is lumber and the production of wood pulp. In recent years, Alaska's 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参考答案：23F这段虽不长，但提供了一些有关阿拉斯加面积和人口的数字。24D本段介绍了爱斯基摩人最早是怎样来到阿拉斯加并成为这片土地永久的居民的。25C这一段的开始虽然谈了淘金热的情况，但主要讲的还是阿拉斯加和外界的联系，以及它的不那么方便的交通情况。26A这段介绍了阿拉斯加的几种主要的自然资源，包括鱼类、木材、丧皮、石油等。27D本句中缺少谓语动词，在所给的六个选项中只有shines是单数第三人称的动词，后面所跟的状语day and night符合文中内容：the midnight SLln never sets。28E本句的主语不完整，of前面缺少一个名词短语，从内容上看应填入E。29C but后面的被动语态的句子使我们很自然就想到或许应该有一个by短语。30A句中出现as much wealth，后面很可能还会有一个as引导的句子，否则比较的意潮完整。第四部分：阅读理解(每题3分，共45分)短文后有5道题，每题后面有4个选项。请仔细阅读短文并根据短文回答其后面的问题，从4个选项中选择1个最佳答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。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 Finland's 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 brain's 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(能透过的), 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 Alzheimer's 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 one's 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.37What's the result of the French study? _AThe harm of mobile phone radiation is life-threatening.BMobile phone may affect one's 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.CAlzheimer's 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 one's 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.参考答案：36A文章论述的是手机导致人体细胞变化，所以从“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(能透过的)”可以判断答案是A。37C从倒数第三段的末尾句可以看出，法国的研究成果是手机辐射是失眠、头痛等毛病的原因。选项中提到的是其中一条。38D从文章内容上看，手机导致的疾病有好几种，但都是与头脑有关。用排除法可排除Tuberculosis。39C从最后研究人员的几句话可以判断手机影响程度到底如何还不知道，而且提到研究人员自己以及其家人还在用手机，可推测手机的使用不会因为这些还不确切的科学发现而停止。40D此题用排除法比较容易解决。文章最后提到Leszczynski自己、家人都在用手机，没有任何迹象表明他禁止他们用手机，所以答案是D。第五部分：补全短文(第4650题，每题2分，共10分)阅读下面的短文，文章中有5处空白，文章后面有6组文字，请根据文章的内容选择5组文字，将其分别放回文章原有位置，以恢复文章原貌。请将答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。Conservation or Wasted Effort?The black robin (旅鸫) is one of the world's 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 (重新准备) with the robin's 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 earth's 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
