Forests in the northern half of the globe could be growing faster now than they were 200
years ago as a result of climate change, according to a study of trees in eastern America. The trees
appear to have faster growth rates due to longer growing seasons and higher concentrations (浓
度) of carbon dioxide in the ___41 .
Geoffrey Parker, a scientist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Centre in
Edgewater. Maryland, said that the increase ha the rate of growth was unexpected and might be
42 to the higher temperatures and longer growing seasons documented in the region. The growth
may also be influenced by the significant 43 in atmospheric CO ,he said.
2
"We made a list of reasons these forests could be growing faster and then excluded half of them,"
Dr Parker said. Their study suggests that northern forests may become increasingly important in
44 the influence of man-made CO2 on the climate.
Dr Parker and his colleagues have 45 out a detailed record of the trees on a(n) 46 basis
since 1987. They calculated that due to the global warming the forest is producing 47 tons of
wood each year.
The scientists _ 48 _ the land with trees at different stages of growth and found that both
young and old trees were showing increased growth rate. More than 90 per cent of the tree groups
had grown by between two and four times faster than the scientists had 49 from estimates of the
long-term rates of growth.
Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases
marked A,B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
The first attempt of even the most talented artists, musicians, and writers is seldom a
masterpiece, If you consider your drafts as dress rehearsals (彩排), or tryouts, revising will seem a
natural part of the writing 50 .
[来源:学+科+网Z+X+X+K]
What is the purpose of the dress rehearsals and the out-of-town previews that many Broadway
shows go through? The answer is adding, deleting, replacing, reordering, 51 revising. Andrew
Lloyd Webber's musical Phantom of the Opera underwent such a process.
When Lloyd Webber began writing in 1984, he had in mind a funny, exciting production.
However, when Phantom opened in London in 1986, the audience saw a moving psychological
love story set to music. The musical had. 52 several revisions due, in part, to problems with
costuming and makeup (戏服和化妆). For instance, Lloyd Webber 53 some of the music
because the Phantom's makeup prevented the actor from singing certain sounds.
When you revise, you change aspects of your work in 54 to your evolving purpose, or toinclude 55 ideas or newly discovered information.
Revision is not just an afterthought that gets only as much time as you have at the end of an
assignment. 56 , it is a major stage of the writing process, and writers revise every step of the
way. Even your decision to 57 . topics while prewriting is a type of revising. However. don't
make the mistake of skipping the revision stage that follows 58 . Always make time to become
your own 59 and view your dress rehearsal, so to speak. Reviewing your work in this way can
give you 60 new ideas.
Revising involves 61 the effectiveness and appropriateness of all aspects of your writing,
making your purpose more clearly, and refocusing or developing the facts and ideas you present.
When you revise, ask yourself the following questions, keeping in mind the audience for whom
you are writing: Is my main idea or purpose 62 throughout my draft? Do I ever lose sight of my
purpose? Have I given my readers all of the 63 that is, facts, opinions,
inferences -- that they need in order to understand my main idea? Finally, have I included too
many 64 details that may confuse readers?
50. A. technique B. style C. process D. career
51. A. in particular B. as a result C. for example D. in other words
52. A. undergone B. skipped C. rejected D. replaced

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose
the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
The elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking at it. The
elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety.
That didn't stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers
were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess.
Parbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught Parbati to ride
an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant
round-up -- how to catch wild elephants.
Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she
was sent to boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many yearslater she went back to her old fife. "Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure
and the excitement lasts for days after the chase," she says.
But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun. "My work," she says, "is to rescue man from
the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man." And this is exactly what Parbati has been
doing for many years. Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters
have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now
fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to
guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.
The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will
spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant. "Eventually they grow to love
their tamers and never forget them. They are also more loyal than humans," she said, as she
climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed!
65. For Parbati, catching elephants is mainly to .
A. get long lasting excitement B. keep both man and elephants safe
C. send them back to the jungle D. make the angry elephants tame
66. Before Parbati studied in a boarding school, .
A. she spent her time hunting with her father
B. she learned how to sing love songs
C. she had already been called an elephant princess
D. she was taught how to hunt tigers
67. Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because __________.
A. they are caught and sent for heavy work
B. illegal hunters capture them and kill them
C. they are attacked and their land gets limited
D. dogs often bark at them and chase them
68. The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India _________.
A. people easily fall victim to elephants' attacks
B. the man-elephant relationship is getting worse
C. elephant tamers are in short supply
D. dogs are as powerful as elephants
(B)
The following card includes a brief summary and a short assessment of a research paper. It
can provide a guide for further reading on the topic.
Trevor, C. O., Lansford, B. and Black, J. W., 2004, "Employee turnover (人事变更) and job
performance: monitoring the influences of salary growth and promotion", Journal of Armchair
Psychology, vol. 113, no.1, pp. 56-64.
In this article Trevor et al. review the influences of pay and job opportunities in respect of job
performance, turnover rates and employees' job attitude. The authors use data gained through
organizational surveys of blue-chip companies in Vancouver, Canada to try to identify the main cause
of employee turnover and whether it is linked to salary growth. Their research focuses on assessing a
range of pay structures such as pay for performance and organizational reward plans. The article is
useful as Trevor et al. suggest that there are numerous reasons for employee turnover and a variety of
differences in employees' job attitude and performance. The main limitation of the article is that the
survey sample was restricted to mid-level management, thus the authors indicate that further, more
extensive research needs to be undertaken to develop a more in-depth understanding of employee
turnover and job performance. As this article was published in a professional journal, the findings can
be considered reliable. It will be useful additional information for the research on pay structures.69. The research paper published is primarily concerned with
A. the way of preventing employee turnover
B. methods of improving employee performance
C. factors affecting employee turnover and performance
D. pay structures based on employee performance
70. As is mentioned in the card, the limitation of the research paper mainly lies in that .
A. the data analysis is hardly reliable B. the research sample is
not wide enough
C. the findings are of no practical value
D. the research method is out-of-date
71. Who might be most interested in this piece of information?
A. Job hunters.
B. Employees in blue-chip companies.
C. Mid-level managers.
D. Researchers on employee turnover.
(C)
The 2012 London Olympics had enough problems to worry about. But one more has just been
added - a communications blackout caused by solar storms.
After a period of calm within the Sun, scientists have detected the signs of a flesh cycle of
sunspots that could peak in 2012, just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in London.
Now scientists believe that this peak could result in vast solar explosions that could throw
billions of tons of charged matter towards the Earth, causing strong solar storms that could jam the
telecommunications satellites and interact links sending five Olympic broadcast from London.
"The Sun's activity has a strong influence on the Earth. The Olympics could be in the middle of
the next solar maximum which could affect the functions of communications satellites," said
Professor Richard Harrison, head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in
Oxfordshire.
At the peak of the cycle, violent outbursts called coronal mass ejections (日冕物质抛射) occur
in the Sun's atmosphere, throwing out great quantities of electrically-charged matter. " A coronal
mass ejection can carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million kilometres per
hour. Such events can expose astronauts to a deadly amount, can disable satellites, cause power
failures on Earth and disturb communications," Professor Harrison added. The risk is greatest
during a solar maximum when there is the greatest number of sunspots.
Next week in America, NASA is scheduled to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity
called the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which will take images of the Sun that are 10
times clearer than the most advanced televisions available.
The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory helped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture
images of the solar flares (太阳耀斑) and explosions as they occur.
Professor Richard Hold away, the lab's director, said that the SDO should be able to provide
early warning of a solar flare or explosion big enough to affect satellite communications on Earth
"If we have advance warning, we'll be able to reduce the damage. What you don't want is things
switching off for a week with no idea of what's caused the problem," he said.
72. The phrase "communications blackout" in paragraph 1 most probably refers to duringthe 2012 Olympics.
A. the extinguishing of the Olympic torch
B. the collapse of broadcasting systems
C. the transportation breakdown in London
D. the destruction of weather satellites
73. What can be inferred about the solar activity described in the passage?
A. The most fatal matter from the corona falls onto Earth.
B. The solar storm peak occurs in the middle of each cycle.
C. It takes several seconds for the charged matter to reach Earth.
D. The number of sunspots declines after coronal mass ejections.
74. According to the passage, NASA will launch a satellite to _ _
A. take images of the solar system B. provide early warning of thunderstorms
C. keep track of solar activities D. improve the communications on Earth
75. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Solar Storms: An Invisible Killer
B. Solar Storms: Earth Environment in Danger
C. Solar Storms: Threatening the Human Race
D. Solar Storms: Human Activities to Be Troubled
Section C
Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each
paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
A. Drug overuse and its consequence
B. The problem of drug overuse in America
C. Benefits of medicine and its wise use
D Female drug overuse with reference to that of males
E Misuse of medicine among the young generation
F. Improper use of medicine among senior citizens
76 .
Nowadays. millions of people misuse and even overuse pain medications and other drugs.
Research by the American National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA, 1999) shows that around 2%
of the population over age 12 were using drugs non-medically.
77.
NIDA views medications as a powerful force for good in the contemporary world. They reduce
and remove pain for millions of people suffering from illness and disease. They make it possible
for doctors to perform complicated surgery to save lives. Many people afflicted by serious medical
conditions are able to control their symptoms and become active, contributing citizens. NIDA
points out that most individuals who take these drags use them in a responsible.
78.
Nevertheless. overuse of drugs such as opioids, central nervous system (CNS) depressants and
stimulants does lead to harmful reliance in some people and is therefore becoming a serious publichealth concern. Although this abuse affects many people worldwide, particular trends of concern
to the medical profession in the US appear among older adults, teenagers arid women.
79.
Though it may be a surprise to many, the misuse of medications may be the most common form
of drug abuse among the elderly. Dr Kenneth Schrader of Duke University, North Carolina states
that although the elderly represent about 13% of the US population, those aged 65 and over
account for the consumption of one third of all drugs. People in this age group use medications
roughly three times more than the general population and have poorer compliance with instruction
for use. In another study of elderly patients admitted to treatment programs, 70% were women
who had overused medicines.
80.
Unfortunately, this trend among women does not only affect those aged over
In general, among women and men who are using either an anti-anxiety drug or a sedative,
women are twice as likely to become addicted. In addition, statistics compiled for 12-17 year olds
show that teenage girls are more likely than teenage boys to begin overusing psychotherapeutic
medication such as painkillers, tranquillisers, stimulants and sedatives.
Section D
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the
statements in the fewest possible words.
Phys ed (physical education) is making a comeback as a part of the school core curriculum(核
心课程)， but with a difference. While group sports are still part of the curriculum, the new way
is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class. Instead of learning how to climb a rope,
children are taught to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance. In this way，
kids are given the tools and skills and experiences so they can lead a physically active life the rest
of their life.
Considering that 15 percent of American children 6 to 18 are overweight, supporters say more
money and thought must be put into phys ed curriculum. In many cases, that may mean not just
replacing the old gym-class model with fitness programs but also starting up phys ed programs
because school boards often "put P.E. on the chopping block, cutting it entirely or decreasing its
teachers or the days it is offered," says Alicia Moag-Stahlberg, the executive director of Action for
Health Kids. The difference in phys ed programs is partly due to the lack of a national standard.
"Physical education needs to be part of the core curriculum," she added.
The wisdom of the new approach has some scientific support. Researchers at the University
of Wisconsin have demonstrated how effective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be. They
observed how 50 overweight children lost more weight when they cycled and skied cross-country
than when they played sports. The researchers also found that teaching sports like football resulted
in less overall movement, partly because reluctant students were able to sit on the bench.
Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class is that only a tiny percentage
of students continue playing them after graduating from high school. The new method teachessells that translate to adulthood.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
81. In the new P.E. program, children learn to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical
endurance rather than __
