16、根据材料，回答16-23问题。 Coming Soon to a Theater Near You! What are special effects? Do you enjoy movies that use a lot of special effects? Dinosaurs (恐龙) from the distant past! Space battles from the distant future! There has been a revolution in special effects, and it has transformed the movies we see. The revolution began in the mid-1970s with George Lucas's Star Wars, a film that stunned(使震惊) audiences. That revolution continues to the present, with dramatic changes inspecial-effects technology. The company behind these changes is Lucas's Industrial Light &Magic (ILM). And the man behind the company is Dennis Muren, who has worked with Lucassince Star Wars. Muren's interest in special effects began very early. At the age of 6, he was photographingtoy dinosaurs and spaceships. At 10, he had an 8-millimeter movie camera and was makingthese things move through stop-motion. Stop-motion is a process in which objects are shot witha camera, moved slightly, shot again, and so on. When the shots are put together, the objectsappear to move. Talk to Muren and you'll understand what ILM is all about: taking on new challenges. By1989, Muren decided he had pushed the old technology as far as it would go. He saw computergraphics (图像) (CG) technology as the wave of the future and took a year off to master it.With CG technology, images can be scanned into a computer for processmg, and manyseparate shots can be combined into a single image. CG technology has now reached the point,Muren says, where special effects can be used to do just about anything so that movies can tellstories better than ever before. The huge success of Jurassic Park and its sequel, theLost World, the stars of which were computer-generated dinosaurs, suggests that this may verywell be true.
The special-effects revolution began in the mid-1980s with Star Wars. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned 17、 ILM is the company responsible for many of the changes in special-effects technology. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
18、 Dennis Muren started his schooling at a very early age. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned

20、 By the stop-motion process, many separate shots can be combined into a single image. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
21、 Muren feels that with CG technology, special effects can be used to make movies more expressive. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
22、 Today's film makers emphasize special effects at the expense of the story. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned

The United States has taken the first step toward approving a global tobacco treaty thatpromises to help control the deadly effects of tobacco use throughout the world. Health andHuman Services Secretary Tommy Thompson signed the Framework Convention on TobaccoControl (FCTC) this week at the United Nations. The Senate must still approve the treatybefore the US can implement its provisions. 2. The FCTC was developed by the World Health Organization and approved by members of theWorld Health Assembly, including the United States, last year. Countries that ratify itwould be required to enact strict tobacco control policies. 3. For instance, cigarettes sold in those countries would have to have health warnings on at least30% of the front and back of every pack. The treaty calls for higher tobacco taxes,restrictions on smoking in public places, and more promotion of tobacco prevention andcessation programs. It also requires bans on tobacco advertising, though there are someexceptions for countries like the United States, where the Constitution prohibits such anoutright ban. 4. The impact of the treaty could be huge. The World Health Organization estimates thattobacco use kills nearly 5 million people worldwide every year. In the US alone, about 440,000 people die each year from tobacco-related illnesses ; about one-third of all cancers inthe US are caused by tobacco use. If current trends continue, WHO estimates, by 2025tobacco will kill 10 million people each year. 5. The treaty must be ratified by at least 40 countries before it can take effect. So far,109 countries have signed it, and 12 have ratified it.

31、根据材料，回答31-36问题。 Valuing Childhood The value of childhood is easily blurred (变得模糊不清) in today's world. Considersome recent developments. The child, murderers in the Jonesboro schoolyard shooting case were convicted and sentenced. Two boys,7 and 8, were charged in the murder of an 11-year-old girl in Chicago. Children who commit horrible crimes appear to act of their own will. Yet, as legalproceedings in Jonesboro showed, the one boy who was able to address the court couldn't beginto explain his acts, though he tried to apologize. There may have been a motive -- youthfuljealousy (妒忌) and resentment. But a deeper question remains: Why did these boys andothers in similar trouble apparently lack any inner, moral restraint? That question echoes for the accused in Chicago, young as they are. They wanted the girl's bicycle, a selfish impulse common enough among kids. Redemption (拯救) is a practical necessity. How can value be restored to young livesdistorted by acts of violence? The boys in Jonesboro and in Chicago will be confined ininstitutions for a relatively short time. Despite horror at what was done, children are not --cannot be - dealt with as adults, not if a people wants to consider itself civilized. That's whypoliticians' cries for adult treatment of youthful criminals ultimately miss the point. But the moral void (真空) that invites violence has many sources. Family instabilitycontributes, so does economic stress. That void, however, can be filled. The work starts withparents, who have to ask themselves whether they're doing enough to give their children a firmsense of right and wrong. Are they really monitoring their activities and their developingprocesses of thought? Schools, too, have a role in building character. So do youth organizations. So do youthenforcement agencies, which can do more to inform the young about laws, their meaning, andtheir observance (遵守). The goal, ultimately, is to allow all children a normal passage from childhood toadulthood (成年), so that tragic gaps in moral judgement are less likely to occur. The relativefew who fill such gaps with acts of violence hint at many others who don't go that far, but wholack the moral foundations childhood should provide -- and which progressive human societyrelies on.
The two boys in Chicago were__________ A．shot B．murdered C．accused D．sentenced
32、 The boys in Jonesboro and Chicago apparently lacked a sense of__________ A．right and wrong B．discipline C．shame D．safety
33、 According to politicians, when children commit crimes, they should be treated in the same way as__________ A．murderers B．criminals C．victims D．adults
34、 Which of the following does the writer cite as a source of moral void__________? A．Official corruption. B．Social injustice. C．Family instability. D．Racial discrimination.
35、 Which of the statements is NOT true according to this passage__________? A．Parents should strengthen moral instruction. B．Schools should help create a moral sense in children. C．Law enforcement agencies should do more to help children understand laws. D．Youth organizations play no role in building character.
36、根据材料，回答36-41问题。 Ford's Assembly Line When it comes to singling out those who have made a difference in all our lives, youcannot overlook Henry Ford. A historian a century from now might well conclude that it wasFord who most influenced all manufacturing, everywhere, even to this day, by introducing anew way to make cars -- one, strange to say, that originated in slaughterhouses (屠宰场). Back in the early 1900's, slaughterhouses used what could have been called a "disassemblyline". Ford reversed this process to see if it would speed up production of a part of anautomobile engine called a magneto. Rather than have each worker completely assemble amagneto, one of its elements was placed on a conveyer, and each worker, as it passed, addedanother component to it, the same one each time. Professor David Hounshell of the Universityof Delaware, an expert on industrial development, tells what happened. "The previous day, workers carrying out the entire process had averaged one assemblyevery 20 minutes. But on that day, on the line, the assemble team averaged one every 13minutes and 10 seconds per person. " Within a year, the time had been reduced to five minutes. In 1913, Ford went all the way.Hooked together by ropes, partially assembled vehicles were towed (拖,拉) past workers whocompleted them one piece at a time. It hasn't long before Ford was turning out several hundredthousand cars a year, a remarkable achievement then. And so efficient and economical was thisnew system that he cut the price of his cars in half, to $ 260, putting them within reach of allthose who, up until that time, could not afford them. Soon, auto makers the world over copiedhim. In fact, he encouraged them to do so by writing a book about all of his innovations,entitled Today and Tomorrow. The Age of the Automobile has arrived. Today, aided by robotsand other forms of automation (自动化), everything from toasters to perfumes is made onassembly lines.
Which of the following statements about Henry Ford is NOT true__________ ? A．He introduced a new way of production. B．He influenced all manufacturing. C．He inspired other auto makers. D．He changed a historian's mind.
37、 The writer mentions" slaughterhouses" because they were the places where__________ A．Ford's assembly line originated B．Ford made his first car C．Ford readjusted the assembly line D．Ford innovated the disassembly line
38、 A magneto is a technical term for__________ A．an automobile B．a production line C．a part of an automobile engine D．a disassembly line
39、 The phrase "turning out" in the last paragraph could be best replaced by __________ A．" producing" B．" selling" C．"buying" D．"fixing"
40、 The invention of the assembly line enabled Henry Ford __________ A．to create more jobs for the unemployed B．to write a book on history C．to reduce the price of his cars to $260 D．to cut the production of his cars by 50%
41、根据材料，回答41-46问题。 "Salty" Rice Plant Boosts Harvests British scientists are breeding a new generation of rice plants that will be able to grow insoil containing salt water. Their work may enable abandoned farms to become productive oncemore. Tim Flowers and Tony Yeo, from Sussex University's School of Biological Sciences, havespent several years researching how crops, such as rice, could be made to grow in water that hasbecome salty. The pair have recently begun a three-year programme, funded by the Biotechnology andBiological Sciences Research Council, to establish which genes enable some plants to survivesalty conditions. The aim is to breed this capability into crops, starting with rice. It is estimated that each year more than 10m hectares (公顷) of agricultural land are lostbecause salt gets into the soil and stunts (妨碍生长) plants. The problem is caused by severalfactors. In the tropics, mangroves (红树林) that create swamps (沼泽) and traditionallyformed barriers to sea water have been cut down. In the Mediterranean, a series of droughtshave caused the water table to drop, allowing sea water to seep (渗透) in Latin America,irrigation often causes problems when water is evaporated (蒸发) by the heat, leaving saltdeposits behind. Excess salt then enters the plants and prevents them functioning normally. Heavyconcentrations of minerals in the plants stop them drawing up the water they need to survive.To overcome these problems, Flowers and Yeo decided to breed rice plants that take invery little salt and store what they do absorb in cells that do not affect the plants' growth. Theyhave started to breed these characteristics into a new rice crop, but it will take about eight harvests before the resulting seeds are ready to be considered for commercial use. Once the characteristics for surviving salty soil are known, Flowers and Yeo will try tobreed the appropriate genes into all manners of crops and plants. Land that has been abandonedto nature will then be able to bloom again, providing much needed food in the poorer countriesof the world.
Which of the following statements about Flowers and Yeo is true__________? A．They are students at Sussex University. B．They are rice breeders. C．They are husband and wife. D．They are colleagues at an institution of higher learning.
42、 Flowers and Yeo have started a programme__________ A．to find ways to prevent water pollution B．to identify genes that promote growth in salty soil C．to breed rice plants that taste salty D．to find ways to remove excessive salt from soil
43、 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of the problem discussed in the passage__________? A．Natural barriers to sea water have been destroyed. B．The water table has gone down after droughts.. C．Sea level has been continuously rising. D．Evaporation of water leaves salt behind.
44、 The word "affect" in Paragraph 6 could be best replaced by__________ A．"influence" B．"effect" C．"stop" D．"present"
45、 The attitude of the author towards the research project is__________ A．positive B．negative C．suspicious D．indifferent 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来位置，以恢复文章原貌。请将答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。 46、根据材料，回答46-51问题。 Science and Technology There is a difference between science and technology. (46)__________ Science has to dowith discovering the facts and relationships between observable phenomena in nature and withestablishing theories that serve to organize these facts and relationships; technology has to dowith tools, techniques, and procedures for applying the findings of science. (47)__________ Progress in science excludes the human factor. Scientists, who seek to understand the universe and know the truth within the highest degree of accuracy and certainty, cannot payattention to their own or other people's likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. (48)__________. But even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides wehave the choice of refusing to believe it ! But hardly so with technology; we do not have thechoice of refusing to hear the sound produced by a supersonic (超音速的) aircraft flyingoverhead ; we cannot refuse to breathe polluted air. (49)__________The purpose of technology is toserve people -- people in general, not merely some people; and future generations, not merelythose who presently wish to gain advantage for themselves. (50) __________Many people blame technology itself for widespread pollution, resourcedepletion (枯竭) and even social decay in general -- so much so that the promise oftechnology is " obscured ". That promise is a cleaner and healthier world. If wise applicationsof science and technology do not lead to a better world, what else will?
请在第__(46)__处填上正确答案。 A．Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progress in each. B．Unlike science, progress in technology must be measured in terms of the human factor.
