The act, designed to protect species liv
8、ing areas, and policies that preserve land and forests compete with economic interests. In the 1990s, for example, the woodcutters in the Western United States were challenged legally in their attempt to cut trees for timber in the Cascade Mountains. The challenge was mounted to protect the endanger
9、ed spotted owl(猫头鹰), whose remaining population occupies these forests and requires the intact, ancient forest for survival. The problematic situation set the interests of environmentalists against those of corporations and of individuals who stood to lose jobs. After months of debate and legal batt
10、les, the fate of the woodcuttersand the owlswas still undecided in mid-1992.Similar tensions exist between the developed and the developing nations. Many people in industrialized nations, for example, believe that developing nations in tropical regions should do more to protect their rain forests an

And global warming could wipe out species unable to quickly adapt to changing climates. Clearly, protecting wi

It is important to make your child interested in science from an early age. Most young children ask a lo
18、t of questions and you should give careful scientific answers. Dont only give facts, but try to give explanations as well.2. Science is not just knowledge; it is a way of thinking, a method of finding out about the world. We see something. We try to explain it, and we test our idea by setting up an
19、experiment. One day you come home and find the plant on the table has fallen over. You think it might be the wind from the open window or the cat, so you close the window, but leave the cat in and see what happens (you can also try leaving the window open and shutting the cat out). Of course, you re
20、member there may be a third explanation.3. Ask your child to get a piece of string, some salt, a glass of water and an ice cube (冰块). Tell her to put the ice in the water, and then put one end of the string on the ice, leaving the other end over the side of the glass. Put a little salt on the ice. W
21、ait a minute, and then pull the string; it should be attached to the ice. Ask the child: “what has happened?“4. Probably she wont know. Ask her whether fresh water or salt water freezes into ice first. If you live near the sea and have a cold winter, she should know fresh water freezes first as she
22、will have seen that happen. Show her how to test the idea by half-filling two paper cups with water, adding salt to one. Then put them in the icebox and check every three minutes. Write the results in a table. The conclusion will be that salt changes the behaviour of water. Thinking about the string
23、, we see the salt turned some of the ice into water. Then the salt went away into the water and the ice froze again leaving the string attached.5. Then you can ask, “Will water with salt boil at the same temperature as water without salt?“ She can think, tell you her idea and (taking care because of
24、 the heat) you can test it in the kitchen.A. What exactly is science?B. How do you find an explanation?C. What topics do you need?D. How do you answer your childs questions?E. Where does your child study science?F. How do you set up the experiment on salt and water?（分数：4.00）(1).Paragraph 1 _（分数：1.00

27、sesses at least 25 percent of the nations wealth. This class has two segments: upper-upper and lower-upper. Basically, the upper-upper class is the “old rich”families that have been wealthy for several generations and aristocracy of birth and wealth. Their names are in the Social Register, a listing
28、 of acceptable members of high society. A few are known across the nation, such as the Rockfellers, Roosevelts, and Vanderbilts. Most are not visible to the general public. They live in grand seclusion (深居简出), drawing their income from the investment of their inherited wealth. In contrast, the lower
29、 upper class is the “new rich”. Although they may he wealthier than some of the old rich, the new rich have hustled(急于做)to make their money like everybody else beneath their class. Thus their prestige is generally lower than that of the old rich, who have not found it necessary to lift a finger to m
30、ake their money, and who tend to look down upon the new rich.However its wealth is acquired, the upper class is very, very rich. They have enough money and leisure time to cultivate an interest in the arts and to collect rare books, painting, and sculpture. They generally live in exclusive areas, be
31、long to exclusive social clubs, communicate with each other, and marry their own kind all of which keeps them so distant from the masses that they have been called the out-of-sight class. They also command an enormous amount of power and influence here and abroad, as they hold many top government po
32、sitions, run the Council on foreign relations, and control multinational corporations. Their actions affect the lives of millions.（分数：15.00）(1).The “old rich” get richer_A. through the Social RegisterB. through their reputationC. by investing their inherited wealthD. by collecting paintings and scul

34、）A.B.C.D.(3).The upper class is also called the out-of-sight class because_.A. they keep away from the general publicB. they spend most of their time abroadC. they move frequently from place to placeD. they dont communicate with any people（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).We can learn from the passage that_.A. t

37、loration new technologies continue to appear. They share a number of similarities with each other as well as some important differences.Manned submersibles (潜水器), like spaceships, must maintain living conditions in an unnatural environment. But while a spaceship must simply be sealed against the vac
38、uum of space, a submersible must be able to bear extreme pressure if it is not to break up in deep water.In exploring space, unmanned vehicles were employed before astronauts. In undersea exploration, on the other hand, men paved the way, only recently have unmanned remote-operated vehicles (ROVs) b
39、een put to use.One reason for this is that communicating with vehicles in orbit is much easier than talking to these underwater. A vacuum am ideal medium for radio communications, but underwater communications are limited to much slower sound waves. Thus, most undersea vehiclesparticularly ROVs oper
40、ate at the end of long ropes.For a similar reason, knowing where you are undersea is much more difficult than in space. A spaceships position can be located by following its radio signal, or by using telescopes and radar. For an undersea vehicle, however, a special network of sonar (声纳) must be laid
41、 out in advance on the ocean floor in the area of a dive to locate the vehicles position.Though undersea exploration is more challenging than outer space in a number of respects, it has a distinct advantage: Going to the ocean depths doesnt require the power necessary to escape Earths gravity. Thus,
42、 it remains far less expensive.（分数：15.00）(1).People did not begin to use unmanned vehicles in undersea exploration until recently because of_.A. the communication problem B. the ocean depthsC. the movement of waves D. the problem of vacuum（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).By “more challenging“ (Para. 6), the aut
43、hor means _.A. more interesting B. more demandingC. more attractive D. moredangerous（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Ocean exploration is not so expensive as space travel mainly because _.A. it is not affected Earths gravityB. most undersea vehicles operate at the end of long ropesC. ROVs have been put to useD.
44、 there is no need for submersibles to get away from Earth s gravity（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The sonar devices must be placed _.A. from time to timeB. after the undersea vehicle divesC. at the time when the undersea vehicle is divingD. before the undersea vehicle dives（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Which of the fo
45、llowing is NOT MENTIONED in the passage?A. New techniques are continually developed and new machines invented for undersea exploration.B. If not well built, a submersible is most likely to get crushed in deep water.C. A submersible, when manned looks very much like a spaceship.D. In certain respects
46、 undersea exploration is often faced with the same problem as space travel is.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.七、第三篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Almost Human?Scientists are racing to build the worlds first thinking robot .This is not science fiction：some say they will have made it by the year 2020.Carol Packer repotsMachines th
