Passage 1( From Band 6, 2005 )
"I"ve never met a human worth cloning," says cloningexpert Mark Westhusin from his lab at Texas A&M University. "It"s astupid endeavor." That"s an interesting choice of adjective, coming from aman who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone a 13-year-old dog namedMissy. So far, he and his team have not succeeded, though they have cloned twocows and expect to clone a cat soon. They just might succeed in cloning Missythis spring - or perhaps not for another 5 years. It seems the reproductivesystem of man"s best friend is one of the mysteries of modern science.
Westhusin"s experiencewith cloning animals leaves him upset by all this talk of human cloning. Inthree years of work on the Missy project, using hundreds upon hundreds of dog"seggs, the A&M team has produced only a dozen or so embryos (胚胎) carrying Missy"s DNA. None havesurvived the transfer to a surrogate (代孕的) mother. The wastage of eggs and the many spontaneously abortedfetuses (胎) may beacceptable when you"re dealing with cats or bulls, he argues, but not withhumans. "Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dangerous," hesays. Even so, dog cloning is a commercial opportunity, with a nice researchpayoff. Ever since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1997, Westhusin"s phone hasbeen ringing with people calling in hopes of duplicating their cats and dogs,cattle and horses. "A lot of people want to clone pets, especially if theprice is right," says Westhusin. Cost is no obstacle for Missy"smysterious billionaire owner; he"s put up $3.7 million so far to fund A&M"sresearch.
Contrary tosome media reports, Missy is not dead. The owner wants a twin to carry onMissy"s fine qualities after she does die. The prototype is, by all accounts,athletic, good-natured and supersmart. Missy"s master does not expect an exactcopy of her. He knows her clone may not have her temperament. In a statement ofpurpose, Missy"s owner and the A&M team say they are "both lookingforward to studying the ways that her clones differ from Missy."
Besides cloning agreat dog, the project may contribute insight into the old question of naturevs. nurture. It could also lead to the cloning of special rescue dogs and manyendangered animals.
However,Westhusin is cautious about his work. He knows that even if he gets a dogpregnant, the offspring, should they survive, will face the problems shown atbirth by other cloned animals: abnormalities like immature lungs and heart andweight problems~ "Why would you ever want to clone humans," Westhusinasks, "when we"re not even close to getting it worked out in animalsyet?"
1. By "stupidendeavor" (Para. 1), Westhusin means to say that ________.
A) animal cloning is not worth the effortat all

Passage 2
Pheromones（信息素，外激素)are substancesthat serve as chemical signals between members of the same species. They aresecreted to the outside of the body and cause other individuals of the speciesto have specific reactions. Pheromones, which are sometimes called Line"social hormones," affect a group of individuals somewhat likehormones do an individual animal. Pheromones are the predominant medium ofcommunication among insects (but rarely the sole method). Some species havesimple pheromone systems and produce only a few pheromones, but others producemany with various functions. Pheromone systems are the most complex in some ofthe so-called social insects, insects that live in organized groups.
Chemicalcommunication differs from that by sight or sound in several ways.
Transmission is relatively slow (the chemical signalsare usually airborne), but the
signal can be persistent, depending upon thevolatility of the chemical, and is sometimes effective over a very long range.Localization of the signal is generally poorer than localization of a sound orvisual stimulus and is usually effected by the animal"s moving upwind inresponse to the stimulus. The ability to modulate a chemical signal is limited,compared with communication by visual or acoustic means, but some pheromonesmay convey different meanings and consequently result in different behavioralor physiological responses, depending on their concentration or when presentedin combination. The modulation of chemical signals occurs via the elaborationof the number of exocrine glands that produce pheromones. Some species, such asants, seem to be very articulate creatures, but their medium of communicationis difficult for humans to study and appreciate because of our own olfactory,insensitivity and the technological difficulties in detecting and analyzingthese pheromones.
Pheromones playnumerous roles in the activities of insects. They may act as alarm substances,play a role in individual and group recognition, serve as attractants betweensexes, mediate the formation of aggregations, identify foraging trails, and beinvolved in caste determination. For example, pheromones involved in castedetermination include the "queen substance" produced by queen honeybees. Aphids, which are particularly vulnerable to predators because of theirgregarious habits and sedentary nature, secrete an alarm pheromone whenattacked that causes nearby aphids to respond by moving away.

A) How insects use pheromonesto communicate
B) How pheromones areproduced by insects

D). You should choose the best answer.
Passage 1
Of all the components of a goodnight’s sleep, dreams seem to be least within our control. In dreams, a windowopens into a world where logic is suspended and dead people speak. A centuryago, Freud formulated his revolutionary theory that dreams were the disguisedshadows of our unconscious desires and fears; by the late 1970s, neurologistshad switched to thinking of them as just “mental noise” — the random byproductsof the neural-repair work that goes on during sleep. Now researchers suspectthat dreams are part of the mind’s emotional thermostat, regulating moods whilethe brain is “off-line.” And one leading authority says that these intenselypowerful mental events can be not only harnessed but actually brought underconscious control, to help us sleep and feel better. “It’s your dream,” saysRosalind Cartwright, chair of psychology at Chicago’sMedical Center. “If you don’t like it, changeit.”
Evidence from brain imagingsupports this view. The brain is as active during REW (rapid eye movement)sleep — when most vivid dreams occur — as it is when fully awake, says Dr. EricNofzinger at the University of Pittsburgh. But notall parts of the brain are equally involved; the limbic system (the “emotionalbrain”) is especially active, while the prefrontal cortex (the center ofintellect and reasoning) is relatively quiet. “We wake up from dreams happy ordepressed, and those feelings can stay with us all day,” says Stanford sleepresearcher Dr. William Dement.
The link between dreams andemotions shows up among the patients in Cartwright’s clinic. Most people seemto have more bad dreams early in the night, progressing toward happier onesbefore awakening, suggesting that they are working through negative feelingsgenerated during the day. Because our conscious mind is occupied with dailylife we don’t always think about the emotional significance of the day’s events— until, it appears, we begin to dream.
And this process need not be leftto the unconscious. Cartwright believes one can exercise conscious control overrecurring bad dreams. As soon as you awaken, identify what is upsetting aboutthe dream. Visualize how you would like it to end instead; the next time itoccurs, try to wake up just enough to control its course. With much practicepeople can learn to, literally, do it in their sleep.
At the end of the day, there’sprobably little reason to pay attention to our dreams at all unless they keepus from sleeping or “we wake up in a panic,” Cartwright says. Terrorism,economic uncertainties and general feelings of insecurity have increasedpeople’s anxiety. Those suffering from persistent nightmares should seek helpfrom a therapist. For the rest of us, the brain has its ways of working throughbad feelings. Sleep — or rather dream — on it and you’ll feel better in themorning.

A) can bemodified in their courses

A) wakingup in time is essential to the ridding of bad dreams.
B)visualizing bad dreams helps bring them under control.
C) dreamsshould be left to their natural progression.
D)dreaming may not entirely belong to the unconscious.
5. What advice might Cartwright give to those who sometimes have bad dreams?

Passage 2
Anumber of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker.The first is the broad area of communication, which includes impartinginformation by use of language, communicating with a group or an individual andspecialized line communication through performance. A person conveys thoughtsand ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice that is pleasant orunpleasant, gentle or harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the languageitself, and by speech rhythms that are flowing and regular or uneven andhesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of the utterance. When speakingbefore a group, a person"s tone may indicate unsureness or fright, confidenceor calm. At interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect ideas and feelingsover and above the words chosen, or may belie them. Here the conversant"s tone can consciously or unconsciously reflectintuitive sympathy or antipathy, lack of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety,enthusiasm or excitement, all of which are .usually discernible by the acutelistener. Public performance is a manner of communication that is highlyspecialized with its own techniques for obtaining effects by voice and /orgesture. The motivation derived fromthe text, and in the case of singing, the music, in combination with theperformer"s skills, personality, and ability to create empathy will determinethe success of artistic, political, orpedagogic communication.
Second,the voice gives psychological clues to a person"s self-image, perception ofothers, and emotional health. Self-image can be indicated by a tone of voicethat is confident, pretentious, shy, aggressive, outgoing, or exuberant, to nameonly a few personality traits. Also the sound may give a clue to the facade ormask of that person, for example, a shy person hiding behind an overconfidentfront. How a speaker perceives the listener"s receptiveness, interest, orsympathy in any given conversation can drasticallyalter the tone of presentation, by encouraging or discouraging the speaker.Emotional health is evidenced in thevoice by free and melodic sounds of the happy, by constricted and harsh soundof the angry, and by dull and lethargic qualities of the depressed

Part III Reading Comprehension
Passage 1
It is said thatin England death ispressing, in Canadainevitable and in Californiaoptional Small wonder. Americans" life expectancy has nearly doubled over thepast century. Failing hips can be replaced, clinical depression controlled,cataracts removed in a 30-minuts surgical procedure. Such advances offer theaging population a quality of life that was unimaginable when I enteredmedicine 50 years ago. But not even a great health-care system can curedeath-and our failure to confront that reality now threatens this greatness ofours.
Death isnormal; we are genetically programmed to disintegrate and perish, even underideal conditions. We all understand that at some level, yet as medicalconsumers we treat death as a problem to be solved. Shielded by third-party payersfrom the cost of our care, we demand everything that can possibly be done forus, even if it"s useless. The most obvious example is late-stage cancer care.Physicians-frustrated by their inability to cure the disease and fearing lossof hope in the patient-too often offer aggressive treatment far beyond what isscientifically justified.
In1950, the U.S.spent .7 billion on health care. In 2002, the cost will be billion. Anyone cansee this trend is unsustainable. Yet few seem willing to try to reverse it.Some scholars conclude that a government with finite resources should simplystop paying for medical care that sustains life beyond a certain age-----say 83or so. Former Coloradogovernor Richard Lamm has been quoted as saying that the old and infirm “have aduty to die and get out of the way”, so that younger, healthier people canrealize their potential.
I would notgo that far. Energetic people now routinely work through their 60s and beyond,and remain dazzlingly productive. At 78,Viacom chairman Sumner Redstonejokingly claims to be 53.Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O"Connor is in her70s,and former surgeon general C. Everett Koop chairs an Internet start-up inhis 80s.These leaders are living proof that prevention works and that we canmanage the health problems that come naturally with age. As a mere68-year-old,I wish to age as productively as they have.
Yet there arelimits to what a society can spend in this pursuit. Ask a physician, I know themost costly and dramatic measures may be ineffective and painful. I also knowthat people in Japan and Sweden,countries that spend far less on medical care, have achieved longer, healthierlives than we have. As a nation, we may be over funding the quest for unlikelycures while under funding research on humbler therapies that could improvepeople"s lives.
1. What is implied in the first sentence?
A)Americans are better prepared for death than other people.
B)Americans enjoy a higher life quality than ever before.
C)Americans are over-confident of their medical technology.
D)Americans take a vain pride in their long life expectancy.
2. The author uses the example of caner patients to showthat

D) medical costs are becoming unaffordable.
3. The author"s attitude to ward Richard Lamm"s remark isone of
A) strong disapproval.

C) slight contempt.
D) enthusiastic support.
4. In contras to the U.S.,Japan and Sweden are funding their medicalcare
A). more flexibly.
B) more extravagantly.
C) .more cautiously.
D) more reasonably.
5. The text intends to express the idea that
A) medicine will further prolong people"s lives.
B) life beyond a certain limit is not worth living.
C) death should be accepted as a fact of life.
D) excessive demands increase the cost of health care.
Passage 2
Botany, the study ofplants, occupies a peculiar positionin the history of human knowledge. For many thousands of years, it was the onefield of awareness about which humans had anything more than the vaguest ofinsight. It is impossible to know today just what our Stone Age ancestors knewabout plants, but form what we can observe of preindustrial societies thatstill exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must beextremely ancient. This is logical.Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things, even for otherplants. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people,not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, dyes, medicine,shelter and a great many otherpurposes. Tribes living today in the jungles of the Amazon recognize literallyhundreds of plants and know many propertiesof each. To them botany, as such, has no name and is probably not evenrecognized as a special branch of “knowledge” at all.
Unfortunately, the moreindustrialized we become the father away we move from direct contact withplants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comesunconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people willfail to recognize a rose, an apple, oran orchid. When our Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses couldbe harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next season, thefirst great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken. Grainswere discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture: cultivated crops.From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants,rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties thatgrew wild-and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years ofexperience and intimacy with plants in the wild would begin to fade away.
6.Whichof the following assumptions about early humans is expressed in the passage?
A) They probably had extensive knowledge of plants.
B) They divided knowledge into well-defined fields.
C) They did not enjoy the study of botany.
D) They placed great importance on ownership of property.
7.The word“peculiar” in line 1 is closest in meaning to ______
A) clear
B) large
C) unusual
D) important
8. What does the comment “This is logical” in line 6mean?
A) There is no clear way to determine the extent of ourancestors’ knowledge of plants.
B) It is not surprising that early humans had a detailedknowledge of plants.
C) It is reasonable to assume that our ancestors behavedvery much like people in preindustrial societies.
D) Human knowledge of plants is well organized and verydetailed.
9. The phrase “properties of each” in line 10 refers toeach____
A) tribe
B) hundred
C) plant
D) purpose
10. According to the passage, why has general knowledgeof botany declined?
A) People no longer value plants as a useful resources
B) Botany is not recognized as a special branch ofscience
C) Research is unable to keep up with the increasingnumber of plants
D) Direct contact with a variety of plants has decreased.
11.In line 15, what is the author’s purpose in mentioning “a rose, an apple, or anorchid”?
A) To make the passage more poetic
B) To cite examples of plants that are attractive.
C) To give botanical examples that most readers willrecognize
D) To illustrate the diversity of botanical life.
12 According to the passage, what was thefirst great step toward the practice of agriculture?
A) The invention of agricultural implements and machinery
B) The development of a system of names for plants
C) To discovery of grasses that could be harvested andreplanted
D) The changing diets of early humans
13.The word “controlled” in the line 20 is closest inmeaning to ___
A) abundant
B) managed

D) advanced
14.The relationship between botany and agriculture is similar to the relationshipbetween zoology
(the study of animals) and _____

Part III ReadingComprehension
Directions: Readthe following passages, each passage is followed by some questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, Cand D. Chose the one which can best answer the questions or complete thesentences.
Passage One
Imagine a world in which there was suddenly no emotion—a world inwhich human beings could feel no love or happiness no terror or hate. Try toimagine the consequences of such a transformation. People might not be able tostay alive: kowing neither joy nor pleasure, anxiety not fear, they would be aslikely to repeat acts that hurt them as acts that were beneficial. They couldnot learn: they could not benefit from experience because this emotionlesswould lack rewards and punishments. Society would soon disappear: people wouldbe as likely to harm one another as to provide help and support. Humanrelationships would not exist: in a world without friends or enemies, therecould be no marriage, affection among companions, or bonds among members ofgroups. Society’s economic underpinnings（支柱)would be destroyed: sinceearning $ 10 million would be no more pleasant than earning $ 10, there wouldbe no incentive to work. In fact, there would be no incentives of any kind. Foras we will see, incentives imply a capacity to enjoy them.
In such a world, the chances that the human species would surviveare next to zero, because emotions are the basic instrument of our survival andadaptation. Emotions structure the world for us in important ways. Asindividuals, we categorize objects on the basis of our emotions. True weconsider the length, shape, size, or texture, but an object’s physical aspectsare less important than what it has done or can do to us—hurt us, surprise us,anger us or make us joyful. We also use categorizations colored by emotions inour families, communities, and overall society. Out of our emotional experienceswith objects and events comes a social feeling of agreement that certain thingsand actions are “good” and others are “bad”, and we apply these categories toevery aspect of our social life—from what foods we eat and what clothes we wearto how we keep promises and which people our group will accept. In fact,society exploits our emotional reactions and attitudes, such as loyalty,morality, pride, shame, guilt, fear and greed, in order to maintain itself. Itgives high rewards to individuals who perform important tasks such as surgery,makes heroes out of individuals for unusual or dangerous achievements such asflying fighter planes in a war, and uses the legal and penal（刑法的)system to make people afraid to engage in antisocial acts.
1.People might not be able tosurvive in a world without emotion because ___________.
A. they would dothings that hurt each other’s feelings
B. they wouldnot be happy with a life without love
C. they wouldnot know what was beneficial and what was harmful to them

A. believe thatemotions are fundamental for them to stay alive
B. enjoy beingrewarded for doing the right thing
C. benefit fromproviding help and support to one another
D. know what isvital to the progress of society
3.It can be inferred from thepassage that the economic foundation of society is dependent on _________.
A. the will towork for pleasure
B. the capacityto enjoy incentives
C. the abilityto make money
D. thecategorizations of our emotional experiences
4.The emotion aspects of anobject are more important than its physical aspects in that they ___.
A. help societyexploit its members for profit
B. encourage usto perform important tasks
C. help toperfect the legal and penal system
D. help us adaptour behavior to the world surrounding us
5.Which of the following is themost suitable title for this passage?
A. No Emotion,No Learning
B. Where ThereIs Human Beings, There Is Emotion.
C. HumanBeings—Emotional Animals
D. Emotion Makesthe World Go
Passage Two
In early 19thcentury America,mental asylums were built in rural areas to remove patients from their homeenvironments and to provide fresh air in a bucolic setting. Patients wereoffered exercise, work, educations, and religious instruction. The heads ofthese institutions, called “alienists”, did not usually dispense drugs, butstressed healthy, clean living and promoted the view that the insane were notmonsters but rather “unfortunate fellow beings”. Focusing on societal causes,alienists believed mental health problems could be avoided, especially in theyoung: children’s brains were softer, vulnerable, and more prone to influence.
After the CivilWar, faith in this “moral treatment” declined because the curability rate hadbeen overestimated, the cost of facilities was high, the government curtailedfunds, and the public became disillusioned with “experts” and their failedpromises. Repeated failures also frustrated practitioners who responded with anincreased use of physical restraint. An influx of immigrants causedovercrowding and a loss of fee-paying private patients. As the medical fieldwas slow to become interested in the care of the mentally ill, there was a lackof trained personnel. The original, more idealistic practitioners were gone,and new managers, many of whom were political appointees, were less inspiredand qualified. They became self-protective and isolated from the public, andconsidered “moral treatment” to be fanatical and dangerous.
Between 1850and 1880, viewpoints reverted back to pre-asylum assessments, with the addedelement of heredity: metal illness resulted from a weak family and vicecommitted by ancestors. Influenced by Social Darwinism, practitioners believedmental illness could be eliminated through eugenics, and the tendency was toclassify ailments rather than investigate through observation. Drugs such aschloroform, bromides, and ether were increasingly used to subdue patients.
Eventually,neurologists formed two camps: those who focused on somatic cases, and thosewho embraced psychological theories as medically respectable. To remove thechronically ill from overcrowded asylums and in a general effort to promotenon-restraint, alternative care facilities such as the tent treatment, the freeair system, and the cottage system were attempted in the latter part of thecentury. In spite of such reform efforts, the dominance of Social Darwinismcondemned the chronically ill as genetically inferior. It was not until thefinal years of the century that Sigmund Freud’s theories about the unconsciouscrept into the professional area.
6.It can be inferred that anadditional reason for building mental asylums in rural areas was ___.
A. to stoppatients from infecting healthy people
B. because mostpeople didn’t want to be living near them
C. because theland was cheaper
D. to givepatients better work opportunities
7.Which is NOT the reason for thedecline in the use of “moral treatment” after the Civil War was.
A. thegovernment cut off funds for “moral treatment”
B .the cost of“moral treatment” facilities was high
C. the medicalprofession became uninterested in “moral treatment”
D. the publicbecame disappointed at practitioners’ failures
8.The word “whom” in paragraph 2refers to ________.
A. alienists
B. originalpractitioners
C. new managers
D. immigrants
9.The mention of drugs at the endof paragraph 3 is an example of _______.
A. the return topre-asylum days
B. the influenceof the developing medical profession
C. an effectivemeans of treatment
D. thealternatives to psychological treatment
10. According to the passage, onereason the cottage system developed toward the end of the century, was in anattempt to _______.
A. applyFreudian psychological theories
B. provide amore secure custodial system
C. alleviateovercrowding at the asylums
D. please bothof the two camps of neurologists

D). You should choose the best answer.
Passage 1
Eating right to prevent heart disease may seem complicated andconfusing, but it"s a breeze compared with trying to design an anticancerdiet.Cardiovascular disease is relatively simple; it"s the result of normalbodily processes taken to the extreme. Cancer, by contrast, involves changes inthe programming of DNA within the nuclei of individual cells. Beyond that ,heart disease is an illness that affects a single organ system, while cancer isdozens of different diseases that target body parts as radically different asthe relationship, breast and bo
ne.
That being the case, it"s no surprise that the relationship between dietand cancer is still largely a matter of educated guesswork-and in many cases,the guesses have turned out to be wrong. Take the much publicized link betweenhigh-fat diets and breast cancer, for example. Women who live in Westerncountries, where high-fat diets are the norm, tend to have high breast-cancerrates. Even more telling: women of Japanese ancestry who live in the U.S. get the disease six times more often thantheir grandmothers and great-grandmothers in Japan. Yet a hugerecent study of 90000 women has refuted the breast cancer-fat link.
A similar process of educated-guess-and-error led people to load up onthe nutritional supplement beta carotene(a natural red substance found incarrots and other vegetables) in the early 1990s. Scientists noted that thosewho eat lots of fruits and vegetables tend to get less cancer and speculatedthat carotenoids-the same antioxidant substances that seem to protect
against heart disease-were responsible. Inparticular, they focused on beta carotene, the most abundant and commoncarotenoid, as the most likely to prevent cancer.
Yet a series of targeted studies in Finlandand the U.S.showed that beta carotene
supplements don"t ward off cancer at all. “Itlooks like taking this substance in high doses is not the right thing to do,”says a Harvard"s researcher.
Health experts are not ready to list the foods that will keep cancer atbay, but some broad outlines of an anti-cancer diet are taking shape. Betacarotene might not be the key. But fruits and vegetables seem to help. So alongwith giving up tobacco and limiting alcohol consumption, the best way toprevent a broad range of cancers, given the current state of medical knowledge,is to eat more fruits and vegetables. That sort of diet will help you stay trimand prevent heart dis ease anyway-so if, against all odds, it turns out to haveno effect on cancer,it certainly can"t hurt.
1. We mayconclude from the first paragraph that
A) heartdisease is mainly caused by abnormal eating habits.
B) canceris far more difficult to prevent than heart disease.
C)changing the programming of DNA may help treat cancer.
D)designing an anticancer diet is as easy as a breeze.
2.Observations and studies of women living in the U.S. prove that
A)American women are in better health than women of Japanese ancestry.
B) thereis a clear relationship between high-fat diets and breast cancer.
C)Japanese women have not yet fully adapted to Western eating norm.
D) thereis nothing conclusive in terms of the breast cancer-fat link.

Passage 2
Thehistory of clinical nutrition, or the study of the relationship between healthand how the body takes in and utilizes food substances, can be divided intofour distinct eras: the first began in the nineteenth century and extended intothe early twentieth century when it was recognized for the first time that foodcontained constituents that were essential for human function and thatdifferent foods provided different amounts of these essential agents. Near theend of this era, research studies demonstrated that rapid weight loss wasassociated with nitrogen imbalance and
could only be rectified by providing adequatedietary protein associated with certain foods.
Thesecond era was initiated in the early decades of the twentieth century andmight be called "the vitamin period." Vitamins came to be recognizedin foods, and deficiency syndromes were described. As vitamins becamerecognized as essential food constituents necessary for health, it becametempting to suggest that every disease and condition for which there had beenno previous effective treatment might be responsive to vitamin therapy. At thatpoint in time, medical schools started to become more interested in having theircurricula integrate nutritional concepts into the basic sciences. Much of thefocus of this education was on the recognition of vitamin deficiency symptoms.Herein lay the beginning of what ultimately turned from ignorance to denial ofthe value of nutritional therapies in medicine. Reckless claims were made foreffects of vitamins that went far beyond what could actually be achieved fromthe use of them.
Inthe third era of nutritional history in the early 1950"s to mid-1960"s, vitamintherapy began to fall into disrepute. Concomitant with this, nutritioneducation in medical schools also became less popular. It was just a decadebefore this that many drug companies had found their vitamin sales skyrocketingand were quick to supply practicing physicians with generous samples ofvitamins and literature extolling the virtue of supplementation for a varietyof health-related conditions. Expectations as to the success of vitamins indisease control were exaggerated. As is known in retrospect, vitamin and mineraltherapies are much less effective when applied to health-crisis conditions thanwhen applied to long-term problems of under nutrition that lead to chronichealth problems.

PartIII Reading Comprehension
Passageone
Imagineeating everything delicious you want - with none of the fat. That would begreat, wouldn"t it?
New “fake fat” productsappeared on store shelves in the United States recently, but not everyone ishappy about it. Makers of the products, which contain a compound calledolestra, say food manufacturers can now eliminate fat from certain foods.Critics, however, say the new compound can rob the body of essential vitaminsand nutrients (营养物)and can also cause unpleasant side effects in some people. So it"s up to decidewhether the new fat-free products taste good enough to keep eating.
Chemists discoveredolestra in the late 1960s, when they were searching for a fat that could be digestedby infants more easily. Instead of finding the desired fat, the researcherscreated a fat that can"t be digested at all.
Normally, specialchemicals in the intestines (肠)“grab” molecules of regular fat and break them downso they can be used by the body. A molecule of regular fat is made up of threemolecule of substances called fatty acids.
The fatty acids areabsorbed by the intestines and bring with them the essential vitamins A, D, E,and K. When fat molecules are present in the intestines with any of thosevitamins, the vitamins attach to the molecules and are carried into thebloodstream.
Olestra, which is madefrom six to eight molecules of fatty acids, is too large for the intestines toabsorb. It just slides through the intestines without being broken down.Manufacturers say it"s that ability to slide unchanged through the intestinesthat makes olestra so valuable as a fat substitute. It provides consumers withthe taste of regular fat without any bad effects on the body. But critics sayolestra can prevent vitamins A, D, E, and K from being absorbed. It can alsoprevent the absorption of carotenoids (类胡萝卜素), compounds that may reduce the risk ofcancer, heart disease, etc.
Manufacturers areadding vitamins A, D, E, and K as well as carotenoids to their products now.Even so, some nutritionists are still concerned that people might eat unlimitedamounts of food made with the fat substitute without worrying about how manycalories they are consuming.
1. We learn from the passage that olestra is a substance that_______.
A) contains plenty of nutrients
B) renders foods calorie - free while retaining their vitamins
C) makes foods easily digestible
D) makes foods fat - free while keeping them delicious
2.The result of the search for an easily digestible fat turned out tobe_______.
A) commercially useless B) just as anticipated
C) somewhat controversial D) quite unexpected
3.Olestra is different from ordinary fats in that_______.
A) it passes through the intestines without being absorbed
B) it facilitates the absorption of vitamins by the body
C) it helps reduce the incidence of heart disease
D) it prevents excessive intake of vitamins
4.What is a possible negative effect of olestra according to some critics?
A) It may impair the digestive system.
B) It may affect the overall fat intake.
C) It may increase the risk of cancer.
D) It may spoil the consumers" appetite.
5.Why are nutritionists concerned about adding vitamins to olestra?
A) It may lead to the over - consumption of vitamins.
B) People may be induced to eat more than is necessary.
C) The function of the intestines may be weakened.
D) It may trigger a new wave of fake food production.
PassageTwo
People of Hispanicorigin were on the North American continent centuries before settlers arrivedfrom Europe in the early 1600s and the thirteen colonies joined together toform the United States in the late 1700s. The first census of the new nationwas conducted in 1790, and counted about four million people, most of whom werewhite. Of the white citizens, more than 80% traced their ancestry back to England.There were close to 700,000 slaves and about 60,000 “free Negroes”. Only a fewNative American Indians who paid taxes were included in the census count, butthe total Native American population was probably about one million.
By 1815, thepopulation of the United States was 8.4 million. Over the next 100years, the country took in about 35 million immigrants, with the greatestnumbers coming in the late 1800s and early 1900s. In 1882, 40,000 Chinesearrived, and between 1900 and 1907, there were more than 30,000 Japanese immigrants.But by far, the largest numbers of the new immigrants were from central,eastern, and southern Europe.
An enormous amountof racial and ethnic assimilation has taken place in the United States.In 1908, play-write Israel Zangwill first used the term “melting pot” todescribe the concept of a place where many races melted in a crucible andre-formed to populate a new land. Some years during the first two decades ofthe 20th century, there were as many as one million new immigrants per year, anastonishing 1 percent of the total population of the United States.
In 1921, however, thecountry began to limit immigration, and the Immigration Act of 1924 virtuallyclosed the door. The total number of immigrants admitted per year dropped fromas many as a million to only 150,000. A quota system was established thatspecified the number of immigrants that could come from each country. Itheavily favored immigrants from northern and western Europeand severely limited everyone else. This system remained in effect until 1965,although after World War II, several exceptions were made to the quota systemto allow in groups of refugees.

Passage 2
Large animals thatinhabit the desert have evolved a number of adaptations forreducing the effects of extreme heat. One adaptation is to be light in color,and to reflect rather than absorb the Sun"s rays. Desert mammals alsodepart from the normal mammalian practice of maintaining a constant bodytemperature. Instead of trying to keep down the body temperature deep insidethe body, which would involve the expenditure of water and energy, desertmammals allow their temperatures to rise to what would normally be feverheight, and temperatures as high as 46 degrees Celsius have been measuredin Grant"s gazelles. The overheated bodywww.med126.com/kuaiji/ then cools down during thecold desert night, and indeed the temperature may fall unusually low bydawn, as low as 34 degrees Celsius in the camel. This is an advantage sincethe heat of the first few hours of daylight is absorbed in warming upthe body, and an excessive buildup of heat does not begin until well intothe day.
Another strategy of large desert animals is to toleratethe loss of body water to a point that would be fatal for non-adaptedanimals. The camel can lose up to 30 percent of its body weight as waterwithout harm to itself, whereas human beings die after losing only 12 to 13 percent of theirbody weight. An equally important adaptation is the ability to replenishthis water loss at one drink. Desert animals can drink prodigiousvolumes in a short time, and camels have been known to imbibe over100 liters in a few minutes. A very dehydrated person, on the other hand,cannot drink enough water to rehydrate at one session, because the humanstomach is not sufficiently big and because a too rapid dilution of thebody fluids causes death from water intoxication. The tolerance of waterloss is of obvious advantage in the desert, as animals do not have toremain near a water hole but can obtain food from grazing sparse and far-flungpastures. Desert-adapted mammals have the further ability to feednormally when extremely dehydrated, it is a common experience in peoplethat appetite is lost even under conditions of moderate thirst.

Directions: There are two passages in this part. Eachpassage is followed by some questions

D). You should choose the best answer.
Passage 1
When we talkabout intelligence, we don’t mean the ability to get a good score on a certainkind of test, or even the ability to do well in school. These are at best onlyindicators of something larger, deeper, and far more important. By intelligencewe mean a style of life, a way of behaving in various situations. The true testof intelligence is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when don’tknow what to do.
The intelligentperson, young or old, meeting a new situation or problem, opens himself up toit. He tries to take in with mind and senses everything he can about it. Hethinks about it, instead of about himself or what it might cause to happen tohim. He tries to deal with it boldly, imaginatively, resourcefully, and if notconfidently, at least hopefully: if the fails to master it, he looks withoutfear or shame at his mistakes and learns what he can from them. This isintelligence. Clearly its roots lie in a certain feeling about life and one’sself with respect to life. Just as clearly, unintelligence is not whatpsychologists seem to suppose, the same thing as intelligence, only less of it.It is an entirely different style of behaviour, arising out of an entirelydifferent set of attitudes.
Years of watching and comparing bright children with the nonbright, orless bright, have shown that they are very different kinds of people. Thebright child is curious about life and reality, eager to get in touch with it,embrace it, unite himself and life. On the other hand, the dull child is farless curious, far less interested in what goes on and what is real, moreinclined to live in a world of fantasy. The bright child likes to experiment,to try things out. He lives by the maxim that there is more than one way toskin a cat. If he can’t do something one way, he’ll another. The dull child isusually afraid to try at all. It takes a great deal of urging to get him to tryeven once; if that try fails, he is through.
Nobody starts off stupid. Hardly any adult in a thousand, or tenthousand, could in any three years of his life learn as much, grow as much inhis understanding of the world around him, as every infant learns and grows inhis first three years. But what happens, as we grow older, to thisextraordinary capacity for learning and intellectual growth? What happens isthat it is destroyed by the process that we misname education — a process thatgoes on in most homes and schools.
1. The author deems that intelligence is______.
A)corresponding to school grades.
B )excellent academic performance.
C )brave enterprising behavior.
D )an indicator of prominence.
2. According to the author, unintelligence is_____.

A)rarely has daydreams.
B) takes the initiative.
C) doesn’t mind failing.
D) gives up thins easily.
4. The author considers education misnamedbecause it _____.
A) isolates children from the outside world.
B) takes place more in homes thanin schools.
C) discourages intellectual growthindividually.

Passage2
Potash(the old name for potassium carbonate) is one of the two alkalis (the otherbeing soda, sodium carbonate) that were used from remote antiquity in themaking of glass, and from the early Middle Ages in the making of soap: theformer being the product of heating a mixture of alkali and sand, the latter aproduct of alkali and vegetable oil. Their importance in the communities ofcolonial North America need hardly bestressed.
Potashand soda are not interchangeable for all purposes, but for glass-or soap-makingeither would do. Soda was obtained largely from the ashes of certain Mediterranean sea plants, potash from those of inlandvegetation. Hence potash was more familiar to the early European settlers ofthe North American continent.
Thesettlement at Jamestown in Virginiawas in many ways a microcosm of the economy of colonial North America, and potash was one of its first concerns. It was requiredfor the glassworks, the first factory in the British colonies, and was producedin sufficient quantity to permit the inclusion of potash in the first cargoshipped out of Jamestown.The second ship to arrive in the settlement from England included among itspassengers experts in potash making. The method of making potash was simpleenough. Logs was piled up and burned in the open, and the ashes collected. Theashes were placed in a barrel with holes in the bottom, and water was pouredover them. The solution draining from the barrel was 204 boiled down in ironkettles. The resulting mass was further heated to fuse the mass into what wascalled potash. In North America, potash makingquickly became an adjunct to the clearing of land for agriculture, for it wasestimated that as much as half the cost of clearing land could be recovered bythe sale of potash. Some potash was exported from Maineand New Hampshirein the seventeenth century, but the market turned out to be mainly domestic,consisting mostly of shipments from the northern to the southern colonies. Fordespite the beginning of the trade at Jamestownand such encouragements as a series of acts "to encourage the making ofpotash," beginning in 1707 inSouth Carolina,the
softwoods in the South proved to be poorsources of the substance.
