Reading Comprehension (30%)
Part I
Passage 1
Questions I to 5 are based on the following passage:
Spending 50 minutes with a cell phone close to your ear is enough to change brain
cell activity in the part of the brain closest to the antenna(天线). But whether
that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institute of Health
said at a conference last month, adding that the study will not likely settle concerns
of
a link between cell phones and brain cancer. “What we showed is glucose (葡
萄糖) metabolism(代谢)(a sign of brain activity) increases in the brain in people
who were exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to the antenna,” said Dr. Nora
Volkow of the NIH, whose study was published in the Journal of the American Medical
Association. (76) The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts to
electromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals。
Volkow said she was surprised that the weak electromagnetic radiation(电磁辐
射) from cell phones could affect brain activity, but she said the findings do not
shed any light on whether cell phones cause cancer. “This study does not in any
way indicate that. What the study does is to show the human brain is sensitive to
electromagnetic radiation from cell phone exposures。” Use of the devices has
increased dramatically since they were introduced in the early 1980s, with about
5 billion cell phones now in use worldwide。
Some studies have linked cell phone exposure to an increased risk of brain
cancers, but a large study by the World Health Organization did not offer a clear
answer to this. Volkow’s team studied 47 people who had their brain examined while
a cell phone was turned on for 50 minutes and another while the phone was turned
off. While there was no complete change in brain metabolism, they found a 7 percent
increase in brain metabolism in the region closest to the cell phone antenna when
the phone was on。
(77)Experts said the results were interesting, but urged that they be understood
with great care. “ Although the biological significance, if any, of increased
glucose metabolism from too much cell phone exposure is unknown, the results require
further investigation,” Henry Lai of the University of Washington in the U.S. and
Dr. Lennart Hardell of University Hospital in Sweden, wrote in an article in JAMA.
“Much has to be done to further investigate and understand these effects。” They
wrote。

Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
Human beings have always had an ability to attend to several things at once.
(78) Nor is electronic multitasking entirely new: we’ve been driving while listening
to car radios since they became popular in the 1930s. But there is no doubt that
multitasking has reached a kind of warp speed in the era of Web-enabled computers,
when it has become routine to conduct several IM(及时通讯)conversations, watch TV
and use the computer all at once。
But what’s the impact of this media consumption? And how are these multitasking
devices changing how kids learn, reason and communicate with one another ?Social
scientists and educators are just beginning to deal with these questions, but the
researchers already have some strong opinions。
(79)Although multitasking kids may be better prepared in some ways for today’
s fast-paced workplace, many scientists are positively alarmed by the trend。 Kids
that are instant messaging while doing homework, playing games online and watching
TV, aren’t going to do well in the long run。
On the positive side, multitasking students tend to be extraordinarily good at
finding and using information. And probably because modern childhood centers around
visual(视觉的)rather than print media, they are especially skilled at analyzing
visual data and images。
Many educators and psychologists say parents need to actively ensure that their
teenagers break free of uncontrollable engagement with screens and spend time in
the physical company of human beings — a growing challenge not just because
technology offers such a handy option but because so many teenagers and college
students say overcommitted(任务过量的)schedules drives much of their multitasking。
Just as important is for parents and educator to teach kids that it’s valuable,
even essential, to occasionally slow down, unplugs and take time to enjoy life beyond
the screen。
6. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. How is multitasking define (定义)in the information age?
B. How do people see new technology and the social change it brings about?
C. How does technology change modern family life?
D. What’s the impact of multitasking on young people?
7. The expression “warp speed” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning
to____。
A. Low speed
B. Too much time alone。
C. high speed
D. steady speed
8. According to some teenagers and college students ,what causes their
multitasking?
A. Overcommitted schedules
B. Too much time alone
C. Inability to focus
D. Fear of being neglected
9. According to the passage, which of the following statement is TRUE?
A. Humans have begun to engage in the multitasking behaviors since the
information age。
B. Multitasking is a critical skill that students are required to learn at
school。
C. Only parents can help their kids to get rid of the multitasking habits。
D. multitasking may prepare students for the reality of today’s fast-paces work
environment。
10. What do educators and psychologist advise parents to do their multitasking
kids?
A. To cut off home internet connection。
B. To seek medical treatment。
C. To encourage their kids to have some social life。
D. to help their kids to set personal goals
Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
The nuclear power emergency at a Japanese atomic power plant last March could
lead to a major re-examination in European countries that are already building such
plants or are considering a shift from fossil(化石) fuels to nuclear energy to fight
climate change. With the terrible accident 25 years ago in Chernobyl(切尔诺贝利)
beginning to fade in European Memories, governments across Europe have grown more
open to using more nuclear power. Enthusiasm for nuclear power is particularly strong
in Eastern Europe, which wants to move away from dependence on Russian oil and natural
gas, and on heavily polluting coal-fired power plants. Eastern governments have
begun improving existing nuclear plants or are building or planning new ones. But
as Japan struggled to deal with her nuclear crises, discussion about the good and
the bad of nuclear power became heated。
(80)In Germany, nuclear power has been a repeatedly argued and widely felt issue
for decades。 Up to 70 percent of Germans oppose nuclear power. Recently about 40,000
people turned out to form a human chain near a nuclear plant to protest government
policies on nuclear power. “The accident in Japan could lead to a major rethink
in Europe,” said Henrik Paulitz of the International Doctors for the Prevention
of Nuclear War. “Governments have not been quite open about the safety levels of
the nuclear power plants。”
Chancellor(总理) Angela Merkel heads a center-right unity government that
supports the use of nuclear power. Her government recently made a disputed decision
to extend the life of the country’s 17 nuclear power plants by an average of 12
years. She will now face more pressure to change that policy. She called an emergency
meeting with her senior ministers. “We know how safe our plants are and that we
do not face a threat from such a serious earthquake or violent tidal wave,” Mrs.
Merkel said after the meeting. “We will learn what we can from the events in Japan。”
According to the passage, which of the following about Europe is TRUE?
11.
A. It is dependent on Russia for gas and oil。
B. It has put an end to fossil fuels。
C. It had a major nuclear accident this year。
D. It is likely that they would rethink their nuclear power policies。

Europe are true EXCEPT _______ 。
leads
B. tops
A. they are eager to build new nuclear power plants
B. they have totally forgotten the Chernobyl accident 25 years ago
C. they have improved their nuclear power plants
D. they want energy independence
13. In the second paragraph, the author mainly discusses_______。
A. the nuclear accidents in Japan last March
B. nuclear power policies in Germany
C. German attitude towards nuclear power
D. the safety levels of nuclear power plants in Germany
14. The word “heads” in the third paragraph can be best replaced by ______ 。
