8、autumn leaves. But for how long? Genetically modified maize (玉米) could mean extinction for this beautiful butterfly, Rafael Ruiz reports. Although its body is about 3cm long and it only weighs 1 gin, the Monarch butterfly manages to travel 5,000km each year. It seems to be so fragile, but its long j
9、ourneys are proof of its amazing ability to survive. This autumn, the Monarch butterfly will once more set out on its journey from the US. It will keep going until it reaches Mexico. It travels these huge distances to escape the cold weather in the north. In November, millions of Monarchs fall like
10、bright, golden rain onto the forests in the mountains of central Mexico. In the silence of these mountains you can hear a strange flapping (拍动) of wings, as the Monarchs arrive at their destination. In the mountains, which reach a height of 3,000 metres, the butterflies are safe. Before reaching the
11、ir journey“s end they have faced strong winds, rain and snowstorms and they do not all manage to reach their destination. When the winters are really bad, perhaps 70 percent of them will not survive. Their long journey to Mexico is thought to be one of the most amazing events in the whole of the Ame
12、rican continent. When they get there they will stay until the beginning of April, when their internal calendar tells them that it is time to go back. The long journey, with all its dangers, begins again. These delicate creatures now face danger of another kindfrom scientific progress. In the US, mil
13、lions of farms grow genetically modified maize which is pure poison for the butterfly. Laboratory experiments have shown that half of the butterflies which feed on the leaves of genetically modified maize die within 48 hours. Not all experts agree that this variety of maize is responsible for the th
14、reat to the Monarchs. In spite of these doubts, the European Union has refused to approve new crops of genetically modified maize until further investigations have been carried out. Greenpeace is campaigning against genetically modified products (in Spain, there are already 20,000 hectares of modifi
15、ed maize). The environmental organization recently published a list of 100 species of butterfly in Europe alone which are threatened with extinction.（分数：7.00）(1).The Monarch butterfly travels 5,000km each year.（分数：1.00）A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned(2).The Monarch butterfly looks fragile.（分数：1.00）A.R

18、ple AroundYou depend on all the people closely around you to give you the warm feeling of belongingness (归属) that you must have to feel secure. But, in fact, the members of all the groups to which you belong also depend on you to give that feeling to them, and a person who shows that he wants everyt
19、hing for himself is bound (一定的) to be a lonely wolf. The need for companionship is closely related to the need for a sense of belongingness. How sad and lonely your life would be if you had no one to share your feelings and experiences. You may take it for granted that there always will be people ar
20、ound to talk to and to do things with you and for you. The important point, however, is that keeping emotionally healthy does not depend so much on having people around you as upon your ability to establish relationships that are satisfying both to you and to them. Suppose you are in a crowd watchin
21、g a football game. You don“t know them. When the game is over, you will go your separate ways. But just for a while you had a feeling of companionship, of sharing the feeling of others who were cheering for the team you wanted to win. An experience of this kind gives the clue(线索) to what companionsh
22、ip really is. It depends upon emotional ties of sympathy, understanding, trust, and affection. Companionships become friends when these ties are formed. When you are thrown in a new circle of acquaintance(熟人), you may not know with whom you will make friends, but you can be sure that you will be abl

26、l Search AgentHunting for a job late last year, Lawyer Gant Redmon stumbled across Career Builder, a job database on the Internet. He searched it with no success but was attracted by the site“s “personal search agent“. It“s an interactive feature that lets visitors key in job criteria such as locati
27、on, title, and salary, then E-mails them when a matching position is posted in the database. Redmon chose the keywords legal, intellectual property and Washington, D.C. Three weeks later, he got his first notification of an opening. “I struck gold,“ says Redmon, who E-mailed his resume to the employ
28、er and won a position as in-house counsel for a company. With thousands of career-related sites on the Internet, finding promising openings can be time-consuming and inefficient. Search agents reduce the need for repeated visits to the databases. But although a search agent worked for Redmon, career
29、 experts see drawbacks. Narrowing your criteria, for example, may work against you: “Every time you answer a question you eliminate a possibility,“ says one expert. For any job search, you should start with a narrow conceptwhat you think you want to dothen broaden it. “None of these programs do that
30、,“ says another expert. “There“s no career counseling implicit in all of this.“ Instead, the best strategy is to use the agent as a kind of tip service to keep abreast of jobs in a particular database ; when you get E-mail, consider it a reminder to check the database again. “I would not rely on age
31、nts for finding everything that is added to a database that might interest me,“ says the author of a job-searching guide. Some sites design their agents to tempt job hunters to return. When Career Site“s agent sends out messages to those who have signed up for its service, for example, it includes o
32、nly three potential jobsthose it considers the best matches. There may be more matches in the database; job hunters will have to visit the site again to find themand they do. “On the day after we send our messages, we see a sharp increase in our traffic,“ says Seth Peets, vice president of marketing
33、 for Career Site. Even those who aren“t hunting for jobs may find search agents worthwhile. Some use them to keep a close watch on the demand for their line of work or gather information on compensation to arm themselves when negotiating for a raise. Although happily employed, Redmon maintains his a
34、gent at Career Builder. “You always keep your eyes open,“ he says. Working with a personal search agent means having another set of eyes looking out for you.（分数：15.00）(1).How did Redmon find his job?（分数：3.00）A.By searching openings in a job database.B.By posting a matching position in a database.C.B
35、y using a special service of a database.D.By E-mailing his resume to a database.(2).Which of the following can be a disadvantage of search agents?（分数：3.00）A.Lack of counseling.B.Limited number of visits.C.Lower efficiency.D.Fewer successful matches.(3).The expression “tip service“ (Line 3, Paragraph
36、 3) most probably means _.（分数：3.00）A.advisoryB.compensationC.interactionD.reminder(4).Why does Career Site“s agent offer each job hunter only three job options?（分数：3.00）A.To focus on better job matches.B.To attract more returning visits.C.To reserve space for more messages.D.To increase the rate of
37、success.(5).Which of the following is true according to the text?（分数：3.00）A.Personal search agents are indispensable to job-hunters.B.Some sites keep E-mailing job seekers to trace their demands.C.Personal search agents are also helpful to those already employed.D.Some agents stop sending informatio
38、n to people once they are employed.六、第二篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)The Best Way to Reduce Your WeightYou hear this: “No wonder you are fat. All you ever do is eat.“ You feel sad: “I skip my breakfast and supper. I run every morning and evening. What else can I do?“ Basically you can do nothing. Your genes, not
39、 your life habits, determine your weight, and your body constantly tries to maintain it. Albert Stunkard of the University of Pennsylvania found from experiments that, “80 percent of the children of two obese parents become obese, as compared with no more than 14 percent of the offspring of two pare
40、nts of normal weight.“ How can obese people become normal or even thin through dieting? Well, dieting can be effective, but the health costs are tremendous. Jules Hirsch, a research physician at Rockefeller University, did a study of eight fat people. They were given a liquid formula providing 600 c
41、alories a day. After more than 10 weeks, the subjects lost 45 kg on average. But after leaving the hospital, they all regained. The results were surprising: by metabolic measurement, fat people who lost large amounts of weight seemed like they were starving. They had psychiatric problems. They dream
42、ed of food or breaking their diet. They were anxious and depressed; some were suicidal. They hid food in their rooms. Researchers warn that it is possible that weight reduction doesn“t result in normal weight, but in an abnormal state resembling that of starved non-obese people. Thin people, however
43、, suffer from the opposite: They have to make a great effort to gain weight. Ethan Sims, of the University of Vermont, got prisoners to volunteer to gain weight. In four to six months, they ate as much as they could. They succeeded in increasing their weight by 20 to 25 percent. But months after the
44、 study ended, they were back to normal weight and stayed there. This did not mean that people are completely without hope in controlling their weight. It means that those who tend to be fat will have to constantly battle their genetic inheritance if they want to significantly lower their weight. The
45、 findings also provide evidence for something scientists thought was trueeach person has a comfortable weight range. The range might be as much as 9 kg. Someone might weigh 60-69 kg without too much effort. But going above or below the natural weight range is difficult. The body resists by feeling h
46、ungry or full and changing the metabolism to push the weight back to the range it seeks.（分数：15.00）(1).What determines your weight?（分数：3.00）A.Your working manner.B.Your eating habit.C.Your life style.D.Your genes.(2).What did Jules Hirsch do in his study?（分数：3.00）A.He let the eight fat people skip su
47、pper.B.He let the eight fat people skip breakfast.C.He let the eight fat people run every morning and evening.D.He gave the eight fat people a liquid formula providing 600 calories a day.(3).What happened to the eight fat people after they left the hospital?（分数：3.00）A.They went mad.B.They killed the
48、mselves.C.They were back to normal weight.D.They attempted suicide.(4).What did Ethan Sims make his subjects do?（分数：3.00）A.Battle their genetic inheritance.B.Increase their weight.C.Stay at home.D.Lower their weight.(5).What did scientists think was true?（分数：3.00）A.Each person has a natural weight r
49、ange.B.Each person has a weight range of 9 kg.C.Each person wants to control his weight.D.Each person wants to eat to his heart“s content.七、第三篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)What About SmokingDo you remember all those years when scientists argued that smoking would kill us but the doubters insisted that we didn“t know for sure? That the evidence was inconclusive, the science uncertain7 That the antismoking lobby was out to destroy our way of life and the government should stay out of the way? Lots of Americans bought that nonsense, and over three decades, some 10 million smokers went to early grav
