In 1990 a report was published about what the earth might be like 20 years from
D. the; /
then on. The report was a result of a three
year 16.
According to the report, the picture of the earth in the year 2010 is not a 17
one. The world will be more 18 because the population will continue to grow. The
population could be 19 6300 million, almost 2150 million more than in 1985. More
people would move into cities, especially cities in 20 countries. Cities like Cairo
and Jakarta probably would 21 have 15 million by then.
Food production will 22, but not enough to feed all the people. Farmers will
grow 90% more food than they did in 1985, 23 most of the increase would be in countries
that 24 produce enough food for their people. Little increase is 25 in South Asia,
Africa and the Middle East. Poor farming ways are 26 large areas of crop land,
changing farms into deserts. More farmland is 27 as cities become larger and more
houses are built. 28 will get worse as industrial countries burn more coal and oil.
Many of the world’s 29 could disappear as more and more trees are cut down. Energy
will continue to be a serious problem. The experts say their picture of the earth
for the year 2010 30. They only carried out the situation that 31 today. By changing
the situation, by 32 the problems, the picture can be changed. There is 33 time for
the nations of the world to work 34 a plan of action. But they warned that 35 too
long to make decisions would greatly reduce the chances of success.

What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice
cream taster?
Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask
John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps
manufacturers to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has
been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream —as well
as for developing over 75 flavors (味道).
Some people think that it would be easy to do this job, after all, you just have
to like ice cream, right? No —there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison,
who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food
science degree
would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.
In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice cream samples.
He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12℉. Harrison explains, “You get more flavor
from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice cream
soup.”
While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each
one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to
see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the product have the
color expected from that flavor?” Next it’s time to taste!
Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from
so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy —working at one
cool job.
36. What is John Harrison’s job?
A. An official.
C. A chemist.
B. An ice cream taster.
D. An ice cream manufacturer.
37. According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the “cool field”, it is helpful
to .
A. keep a diary of work
B. have a degree in related subjects
C. have new ideas every day
D. find out new flavors each day
38. What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?
A. He stirs the ice cream.
B. He examines the color of the ice cream.
C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.
D. He lets the ice cream warm up.
39. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?
A. Tasting with Eyes.
C. John Harrison’s Life.
B. Flavors of Ice Cream.
D. One Cool Job.

In June, 2007, a group of students from eight high schools in Winnipeg, the
launching (试发射) a
capital of Canada’s Manitoba province, will begin test
satellite the size of a Rubik’s cube.
The one kilogram Win Cube satellite, named for its home city and its shape,
will be put into low orbit. Once in space, it can perform for a few months or up
to several years, communicating information that could help find the signs of
earthquakes.
There are 80 similar satellite projects worldwide, but this is the first high
school based program of its kind in Canada. 30 Manitoba high school students are
having a hand in designing and building the satellite, in cooperation with aerospace
(航空航天的) experts and 10 students from the University of Manitoba, and with
support from two other organizations.
The Win
Cube project is not something that goes on a piece of paper; it is the
real world engineering, allowing high school students to have an opportunity to learn
more about the exciting world of engineering through their participation in this
challenging program. It is also taken as a wonderful example of the unique
partnerships within Manitoba. Designing, building and launching a satellite with
high school participation will bring this world
class educational project into
reality and Manitoba closer to space.
“ These Manitoba high school students deserve congratulations for their
enthusiasm, innovation (创新), and a strong love for discovery,” said Education,
Citizenship and Youth Minister Peter Bjomson. “We want to make science more relevant
(相关的), interesting and attractive to high school students by showing them how
classroom studies can relate to practical experience in the workplace or, in this
case, in space,” Bjomson added.
The Win
Cube program is mainly named at inspiring a strong desire for discovery
on the part of the students. It also shows Manitoba’s devotion to research and
innovation and the development of a skilled workforce—all important drivers of
knowledge

After too long on the Net, even a phone call can be a shock. My boyfriend’s
Liverpudlian accent suddenly becomes too difficult to understand after his clear
words on screen; a secretary’s tone seems more rejecting than I’d imagined it would
be. Time itself becomes fluid—hours becomes minutes, and alternately seconds
stretch into days. Week ends, once a highlight of my week, are now just two ordinary
days.
For the last three years, since I stopped working as a producer for Charlie Rose,
I have done much of my work as a telecommuter. I submit(提交) articles and edit them
by E
mail and communicate with colleagues on Internet mailing lists. My boyfriend
lives in England, so much of our relationship is computer
mediated. If I desired,
I could stay inside for weeks without wanting anything. I can order food, and manage
my money, love and work. In fact, at times I have spent as long as three weeks alone
at home, going out only to get mails and buy newspapers and groceries. I watched
most of the blizzard of 96 on TV.
But after a while, life itself begins to feel unreal. I start to feel as though
I’ve merged(融合) with my machines, taking data in, spitting them back out, just
another node(波节) on the Net. Others on line report the same symptoms(症状). We
start to strongly dislike the outside forms of socializing. It’s like attending
an A. A. meeting in a bar with everyone holding a half
sipped drink. We have become
the Net opponents’ worst nightmare.
What first seemed like a luxury, crawling from bed to computer, not worrying
about hair, and clothes and face, has becomes avoidance(逃避), a lack of discipline.
And once you start replacing real human contact with cyber interaction, coming back
out of the cave can be quite difficult.
At times, I turn on the television and just leave it to chatter in the background,
something that I’d never done previously. The voices of the programs relax me, but
then I’m jarred by the commercials. I find myself sucked in by soap operas, or
needing to keep up with the latest news and the weather. “Dateline”, “Frontline”,
“Nightline”, CNN, New York 1, every possible angle of every story over and over,
and over, even when they are of no possible use to me. Work moves from foreground
to background.
48. Compared to the clear words of her boyfriend on screen, his accent becomes .
A. unreal
C. misleading
B. unbearable
D. not understandable
49. What does the last paragraph mean?
A. Having worked on the computer for too long, she became a bit strange.
B. She is so interested in TV programs that she often forgets her work.
C. She watches TV a lot in order to keep up with the latest news and the weather.
D. She turns on TV now and then in order to get some comfort from TV program.
50. What is the author’s attitude to the computer?
A. At first she likes it but later becomes tired of it.
B. She likes it because it is very convenient.
C. She dislikes it because TV is more attractive.
D. She dislikes it because it cuts off her relation with the outside world.
51. The underlined phrase “coming back out of cave” probably means .
A. going back to the dreaming world
B. coming back home from the outside world
C. bringing back direct human
D. getting away from living a strange life

Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour
with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. These people have
something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.
How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow
the skills, they’ll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them
quickly.
First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he
is, will answer a question. One well
known businesswoman says,“At business lunches,
I always ask people what they did that morning. It’s a common question, but it will
get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really
personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.
Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This
point seems clear, but it isn’t. Your questions should have a point and help to
tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to
listen carefully and attentively.
Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the
subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact
that he’s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening
to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it’s time for you
to change the subject.
Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If
bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I’ve really
you’re saying good
enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again, don’t keep it a secret.
Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known
you half their life.
52. Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way .
A. for you to make more and more new friends
B. to begin your business talks
C. to get the conversation going smoothly
D. for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others
53. After having asked somebody a question, it’ll be polite of you to .
A. make clear what kind of person he is
B. listen to his reply attentively
C. wait quietly and patiently for his answer
D. go on asking him more questions
54. Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who .
A. are good at making any topic interesting
B. never talk too much or too little
C. always speak in a gentle way
D. know how and when they should change the topic of the talk
55. If you really take delight in meeting someone again, .
A. you may take him as your lifelong trustworthy friend
B. it seems necessary for you to let him know it
C. it’s proper for you to give him a second handshake
D. it’ll be helpful for you to have further understanding of him

Her package looks pretty, people will buy just about anything. So says an
advertising executive in New York, and he has proved his point by selling boxes of
rubbish for the price of an expensive bottle of wine.
Justin Gignac, 26, has sold almost 900 56 presented plastic boxes of rubbish
from the street of the Big Apple at between $50 and $100 each. Buyers from 19
countries have paid for the souvenirs(纪念品). The idea has been so successful that
he is thinking of promoting it around the world.
It all began when Mr. Gignac was at a summer workshop. “We had a discussion
about he importance of 57,” he recalls. “Someone said packaging was unimportant.
I disagreed. The only way to prove it was by selling something nobody would ever
want.”
He searches the streets of Manhattan and typical 58 include broken glass, subway
tickets, Starbucks cups and used 59 forks. “Special editions” are offered at a
high price. He charged $100 for rubbish from the opening day of the New York
Yankees’ stadium.
Mr. Gignac denies 60 his customers for fools: “They know what they’re getting.
They appreciate the fact that they’re taking something nobody would want and finding
beauty in it.”
Some 61 customers include people who used to live in the city and want a down
to
earth souvenir. He claims he has even sold to art collectors.
Realizing that the concept appears to be a real moneymaker, Mr. Gignac has 62
a company and is employing his girlfriend as vice president. He 63 to discuss his
profit margins: “It’s actually quite a lot of effort putting them together—but
yet, garbage is free.”
Mr. Gignac is considering more varieties of souvenirs. He maintains that he has
signed 64 with people interested in 65 projects from as far as Berlin and London.
