25、ne(总题数：1，分数：8.00)When Columbus reached the New World, com was the most widely grown plant in the Americas. This plants range extended from what is now southern Canada to lower South America. At that time some tribes cultivated it at sea level, others at elevation(海拔高度) of more than 11 000 feet.“Colu
26、mbus had no way of knowing that corn was far more valuable than the spices(香料) and gold he had hoped to find.“ said Frances B. King, a professor at a university of Pittsburgh. Through human intervention, this plant has developed into several hundred races, or varieties. Their heights vary from 2 to
27、12 feet, and their maturity ranges from little more than 2 months to almost a year. Their ears vary not only in color, but also in size.Unlike other cereals(谷类), corn bears little resemblance to its wild ancestors. In fact, it differs from the appearance of its immediate ancestors more than any othe
28、r cultivated plant known. From humble origins as a lowland grass, corn developed into the western worlds important grain. As its high yields allowed communities to grow far beyond what early agriculture could feed, most scientists viewed corn as having largely fueled pre-Columbian growth and civiliz
29、ation.Now, new findings are greatly altering researchers notions about the time when com revolution occurred. New dates for its emergence from Mesoamenrica do not support the widely held view. The evidence now suggests that the signs of corn in Americas can date back 5 500 years at least.（分数：8.00）(1

33、)The Internet can make the news more democratic, giving the public a chance to ask questions and seek out facts behind stories and candidates, according to the head of the largest US on-line service.“But the greatest potential for public participation is still in the future,“ Steven Case, chairman o
34、f America On-line, told a recent meeting on Journalism and the Internet sponsored by The Freedom Forum(讨论会), though some other speakers say the new technology of computers is changing the face of journalism, giving reporters access to more information and their readers a chance to ask questions and
35、turn to different sources.“You dont have to buy a newspaper and be confined to the four comers of that paper anymore,“ Sam Meddis, on-line technology editor at USA Today, observed about the variety of information available to computer users.But the speakers noted the easy access to the Internet also
36、 means anyone can post information for others to see. “Anyone can say anything they want, whether its right or wrong,“ said Case. Readers have to determine for themselves who to trust. “In a world of almost infinite voices, respected journalists and respected brand names will probably become more im
37、portant, not less,“ Case said.The Internet today is about where radio was 80 years ago, or television 50 years ago or cable 25 years ago, he said.

40、ournalists will probably become more important than before.C.Everyone is using the Internet now.D.The greatest potential of public participation of the Internet is in the near futur(4).On the whole, the attitude Steven Case holds for the Internets future development is _.（分数：2.00）A.pessimisticB.opti
41、misticC.doubtfulD.unknown十、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：8.00)No artist has affected modern art more than Pablo Picasso. The thousands of masterpieces he created changed the way people thought about art. Picasso was perhaps the most talented and successful artist who ever lived.Pablo Picasso was born in 18
42、81 in a small town on the southern coast of Spain. His father was a painter who taught art. Picasso showed exceptional talent at an early age and, by the time he was in his teens, painted better than his father or any of the local art teachers. At sixteen, Picasso was sent to the Royal Academy of Ma
43、drid, where students drew from plaster casts and copied works of the old masters. Picasso felt these assignments were pointless and began to work on his own. Picassos father soon became angry with his sons rebellious behavior, long hair, and strange clothes. He believed that Picasso was wasting tale
44、nt and scolded him, “Why dont you cut your hair and paint sensibly?“In 1900, Picasso left for Paris - then the center of the art world. He lived in a cold, rundown building, painting constantly, sometimes surviving for days on only a piece of bread. During these years, his art reflected his gloomy s
45、urroundings. The homeless were subject of many of his fairly realistic early paintings. After seeing African masks and sculptures(雕塑),his works became more simplified and angular(僵硬的) leading up to the revolutionary new style known as Cubism.Picasso didnt sell much of his works during these early ye
46、ars. But he worked continuously, always experimenting with different styles of painting. Though Picasso lived to be ninety-two and became the most famous artist in the world, he spoke of his youthful days in Paris as “the happiest time in my life“.（分数：8.00）(1).Why did the writer say that “No one has
47、 affected modern art more than Picasso“?（分数：2.00）A.He was the most successsful artist in history.B.He had exceptional talent in art.C.His paintings changed peoples idea about art.D.He worked continuously.(2).When Picasso was in Paris, _.（分数：2.00）A.his father thought he was wasting his talentB.his li
