17．In normal conditions，bread will go mouldy（霉）in around 10 days．But an American company says it has developed a technique that will keep the bread mould free for two months．
At the laboratory or Texas Tech University，chief executive Don Stull showed off the long，metallic microwave device．Originally designed to kill some bacteria，the researchers discovered it could kill the mould spores（霉孢）in bread in 10 seconds．"We treated a slice of bread in the device，we then checked the mould in the bread over time，"he explained．"And at 60 days it had the same mould content as it had when it came out．"
The machine uses much the same technology as found in commercial microwaves-but with some important differences，according to Mr．Stull．"We introduce the microwave frequencies in different ways，through a radiator．We don't get the hot and cold spots you get in your home microwave．"
The device has attracted plenty of bread manufacturers-but it is worried that it could push up costs in an industry．And there is also a concern that consumers might not take to bread that lasts for so long．
Mr．Stull acknowledges it might be difficult to convince some people of the benefits．"We'll have to get some consumer acceptance of that，"he said．"Most people do it by feel，and if you still have that quality feel，they will probably accept it．"
Mr．Stull believes that the technology could affect bread in other ways．He said that bread manufacturers added lots of additives（添加劑）to fight mould．As a result，they must add extra chemicals to mask the taste of them．If bakers were able to use the microwave technology，they would be able to avoid these additives．While a wholesale change in the bread industry might be difficult to achieve，there may be more potential with other foods．
71．The microwave device was originally designed toB．
A．make bread tasty            
B．kill some bacteria
C．kill the mould spores           
D．check mould in bread
72．What do the metallic device and commercial microwaves have in common？C
A．they both can kill mould spores
B．They both function through a radiator．
C．They both use microwave technology
D．They both can be used as a bread bakery．
73．According to Mr．Stull，the microwave technologyC．
A．may push up costs in the bread industry
B．will keep the bread more tasty after 60 days
C．can help bakers to avoid adding additives
D．might probably bring no benefits to consumers
74．What does the underlined word"them"refer to？B
A．Chemicals．B．Additives．C．Manufacturers．D．Foods．
75．It can be inferred from the text thatD．
A．bread made with the technology will have different taste
B．bread industry will pay no attention to the technology
C．the technology is as harmful as the additives
D．the technology is likely to be used more widely．

8．You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator．When you choose to be a victim，the world is a cold and difficult place．"They"did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering．"They"are wrong and bad，and life is terrible as long as"they"are around．Or you may blame yourself for all your problems，thus internalizing（內(nèi)化）your victimization．The truth is，your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others．
Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently．They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives，but they don't let this get in the way．They know they have their weaknesses，yet they don't blame themselves when they fail．Whatever happens，they have choice in the matter．They believe their dance with each sacred（神圣的）moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth．
Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities，yet their experience of life is worlds apart．Victims relish （沉溺）in anger，guilt，and other emotions that cause others---and even themselves---to feel like victims，too．Creators consciously choose love，inspiration，and other qualities which inspire not only themselves，but all around them．Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives．
In reality，all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives．One person，on losing a job or a special relationship，may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months，years，or even a lifetime．Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief，then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life．
In every moment and every circumstance，you can choose to have fuller，richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within，and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are．
69．What does the word"they"in Paragraph 1 probably refer to？A
A．People and things around you
B．Opportunities and problems．
C．Creators and their choices
D．Victims and their sufferings．

A．seem willing to experience failures in life
B．possess the ability to predict future life
C．handle ups and downs of life wisely
D．have potential to create something new
71．What can we learn from Paragraph 3？B
A．Creators and victims face quite different things in life．
B．Creators and victims are masters of their lives．
C．Victims can influence more people than creators．
D．Compared with victims，creators are more emotional．
72．The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show thatA．
A．strong attachment to sufferings in life pulls people into victims．
B．people need family support to deal with challengers in life．
C．it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains．
D．one's experiences determine his attitude toward life．
73．What is the author's purpose in writing this passage？D
A．To define victims and creators．
B．To evaluate victims against creators．
C．To explain the relationship between victims and creators．
D．To suggest the transformation from victims to creators．

5．Youngsters who have no regular bedtime or who go to bed later than 21：00 have lower scores for reading and maths．Lack of sleep may influence how well the brain learns new information．
The findings on sleep patterns and brain power come from a UK study of more than 11，000 seven-year-olds．
Theygathered information on the children at the ages of three，five and seven to find out how well they were doing with their learning and whether that might be related to their sleeping habits．
Establishing （制定） a good bedtime routine early in childhood is important．Irregular bedtimes were most common at the age of three，when around one in five of the children went to bed at varying times．By the age of seven，more than half the children had a regular bedtime of between 19：30 and 20：30．
Children with irregular bedtimes tended to be less successful than their playmates in terms of test scores for reading，maths and spatial awareness（空間想象）．The influence was more obvious throughout early childhood in girls than in boys and appeared to be increasing．
The researchers said it was possible that irregular bedtimes were a reflection of chaotic （無秩序的） family settings and they had an influence on cognitive （認(rèn)知的） performance in children．The children with late and irregular bedtimes came from more socially disadvantaged backgrounds and were less likely to be read to each night and，generally，watched more TV．After controlling for such factors，the link between poorer mental performance and irregular bedtimes remained．
67．The text mainly deals with the relation between children'sD．
A．reading abilities and their sleeping habits
B．mental development and their sleeping habits
C．behaviour and their studying habits
D．performance in learning and their sleeping habits
68．The underlined word"They"in the third paragraph refers to"B"
A．the findings                     
B．the researchers
C．the seven-year-olds             
D．the sleep patterns             
69．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text？C
A．About one third of the three-year-olds go to bed at irregular bedtimes．
B．Irregular bedtimes were most common before the children were three months old．
C．More than half the children didn't have a regular bedtime until they were seven years old．
D．Teachers should help their kids establish a good bedtime routine early in childhood．
70．We can know from the text thatD．
A．boys with irregular bedtimes do worse in reading than their playmates
B．girls with regular bedtimes perform better in learning than boys
C．girls with irregular bedtimes do worse in reading than boys
D．the gap between girls with and without regular bedtimes is larger than that between boys．

12．About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way．Women are luckier； only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter．Perhaps，after all，it is safer to be driven by a woman!
There are different forms of color blindness．In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red．He may think that red，orange and yellow are all shadows of green．Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green．In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green-a strange world indeed．
Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain．In a single eye there are millions of very small things called"cones"．These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors．There are also millions of"rods"，but these are used for seeing when it is near dark．They show us shape but no color．
Some insects have favorite colors．Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow．A red light will not attract insects，but a blue lamp will．In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors．Yet we are lucky．With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day，and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night．One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us．
51．The passage is mainly aboutD．
A．color and its surprising effects．
B．women being luckier than men
C．danger caused by color blindness  
D．color blindness

2．A blue hole is a flooded sea cave with a hole that opens up at the land's surface．These cave systems form in carbonate rock，often on islands．Some blue holes have very special rock formations and water chemistry．Far below sea level，they contain some of the harshest environments on Earth，with no oxygen and no light．Yet these areas are filled with life forms that have adapted to the extreme conditions．
Information gathered from these blue holes is helping scientists to increase their understanding of biology，archaeology and geology．But exploring these blue hole environments brings danger as well as discovery．
Blue holes get their name from the color some have when seen from the air．The color is usually a reflection of the sky on the water．But not all of these cave systems have blue surfaces．Some contain dark or muddy water．
Blue holes are the result of erosion in which water breaks down rock．Rain falling thousands of years ago contained chemicals which slowly wore away at the limestone landmass．These holes were later filled with sea water as the sea level changed．The rising and falling of sea levels and the mixture of salt and fresh water further wore away at these cave formations．Blue holes are vertical caves．But they can also have horizontal cave formations that may be hundreds of meters long．
These flooded cave systems can be found in the ocean，or they can be found inland．Ocean caves are affected by tides，so they always have water movement．But blue holes on land are very still．They have several layers of water，chemicals，and bacteria．The top layer of fresh water comes from rainfall．This layer acts like a cap on top of the layered mixture，and keeps out oxygen from the atmosphere．The fresh water floats on a denser layer of saltwater．Underneath this is a layer of poisonous hydrogen sulfide，produced by bacteria living in the water．Underneath this layer is anoxic seawater--water that does not contain any oxygen．
Underwater caves are probably one of the least explored ecosystems on the planet．One reason blue holes have not been fully explored is that they can be extremely dangerous．There are many safety rules that divers must follow to help ensure their survival．
First，divers must have training and experience to swim in these caves．Those who explore a cave for the first time must establish a thin rope called a guideline．This line helps them to safely enter and bring more than one set of breathing equipment in case one device fails．Meanwhile，they must pay careful attention to their air supply．The rule is to use a third of their air to enter the cave，a third to exit，and a third for emergencies．
    For most explorers，though，the possibility of discovery in these cave environments makes the experience worth the risk．You can jump into what looks like an insignificant little hole in the ground，and come out with information that's of value to many different disciplines，Scientists are interested in these caves because oxygen-free conditions there are similar to those on Earth long ago，before oxygen existed on our planet．，as well as similar to space．
50．According to the Passage，blue holesB．
A．a(chǎn)re now a popular choice for tourists
B．a(chǎn)re flooded caves found mostly on islands
C．have appeared as rocks pile up year by year
D．can give off bright blue light deep in the caves
51．It can be inferred front the passage thatD．
A．quantities of advanced life forms exist in blue boles
B．blue holes are not fully explored due to their low value
C．blue holes are vertical caves because of strong currents
D．the chemicals in the rain lead to the formation of blue caves
52．The fifth paragraph mainly talks aboutA．
A．two different types of blue holes    
B．how a blue hole comes into being
C．why scientists are interested in blue holes       
D．rules for divers exploring blue holes
53．When exploring blue holes，divers mustD．
A．have a thin rope as a guideline anytime           
B．wear glasses in case of bright blue light
C．swim as quickly as possible to save time          
D．learn to make good use of their air supply
54．The exploration of blue holes can help usB．
A．discover moue energy resources  
B．understand the origin of life on Farth
C．learn about the movements of seawater
D．get ready for the exploration of the ocean．

9．Like human beings，dogs may catch cold because of cold weather，wet conditions or can also get it from other sick dogs．If a dog has a running nose and watery eyes，coughs or sneezes（打噴嚏），then it is quite probable that the dog has caught cold．
A dog's cold can get over after a few days without treatment but it totally depends upon the owner to treat it with medications or improve its immune power （免疫力） to get rid of the cold naturally．Following are some of the things you can do if your dog gets a cold．
You can improve its immune power by giving it proper nutrient diet．Healthy food can really do wonders．Try to give it food which is either suggested by the vet（獸醫(yī)） or is healthy for your pet．Increase the intake of food which is rich in vitamins A，C and E．
Keep your dog warm．The best place for your dog in winter is inside your house．Do not keep your dog outside when it is cold and wet．At home you can also keep the dog warm with the help of carpets．This will make him comfortable and help him to recover fast．
Increase the fluid（流質(zhì)）intake as it helps a lot．Water can be the best choice but you can also add broth （肉湯）in water which will give your dog strength．Warm water will make your dog more comfortable and will also keep the dog away from the respiratory infections（呼吸道感染）．
Steam treatment is considered to be effective in getting rid of cold．It makes the nasal（鼻的） passage wet，which helps proper breathing．Just fill your bathroom with steam and leave your dog inside the bathroom for 15 minutes．Do it nearly 2 to 3 times a day and you will see your dog recovering．
These are some of the things you can do to help your dog recover from cold．However，if you are not able to find any improvement in its health，then turn to the vet for help immediately．Take your dog for regular checkups so as to avoid complications（并發(fā)癥）．
