Space battles from the distant future! There has been a revolution in special effects, and it has transformed the mo
8、vies we see. The revolution began in the mid 1970s with George Lucas“s Star Wars, a film that stunned (使震惊) audiences. That revolution continues to the present, with dramatic changes in special-effects technology. The company behind these changes is Lucas“s Industrial Light & Magic (ILM). And the ma
9、n behind the company is Dennis Muren, who has worked with Lucas since Star Wars. Muren“s interest in special effects began very early. At the age of 6, he was photographing toy dinosaurs and spaceships. At 10, he had an 8 millimeter movie camera and was making these things move through stop-motion.
10、(Stop-motion is a process in which objects are shot with a camera, moved slightly, shot again, and so on. When the shots are put together, the objects appear to move.) Talk to Muren and you“ll understand what ILM is all about: taking on new challenges. By 1989, Muren decided he had pushed the old te
11、chnology as far as it would go. He saw computer graphics (图像) (CG) technology as the wave of the future and took a year off to master it. With CG technology, images can be scanned into a computer for processing, for example, and many separate shots can be combined into a single image. CG technology
12、has now reached the point, Muren says, where special effects can be used to do just about anything so that movies can tell stories better than ever before. The huge success of Jurassic Park and its sequel (续集), The Lost World, the stars of which were computer-generated dinosaurs, suggests that this
13、may very well be true.（分数：7.00）(1).The special-effects revolution began in the mid 1970s with Star Wars._（分数：1.00）A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned(2).ILM is the company responsible for many of the changes in special-effects technology._（分数：1.00）A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned(3).Dennis Muren started his

16、(总题数：1，分数：8.00)Keeping Cut Flowers1While everybody enjoys fresh cut flowers around his/her house, few people know how to keep them for as long as possible. This may be done by keeping in mind a few simple facts. 2An important thing to remember about cut flowers is that they are sensitive to temperat
17、ure. for example, studies have shown that cut carnations (康乃馨)retain their freshness eight times longer when kept at 12 than when kept at 26. Keeping freshly harvested flowers at the right temperatures is probably the most important aspect of flower care. 3Flowers are not intended by nature to live
18、very long. Their biological purpose is simply to attract birds or insects, such as bees, for pollination (授粉). After that, they quickly dry up and die. The process by which flowers consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide (二氧化碳), called respiration (呼吸), generates the energy the flower needs to giv
19、e the flower its shape and color. The making of seeds also depends on this energy. While all living things respire, flowers have a high level of respiration. A result of all this respiration is heat, and for flowers the level of heat relative to the mass of the flower is very high. Respiration also
20、brings about the eventual death of the flower. Thus the greater the level of respiration, the sooner the flower dies. 4How, then, to control the rate at which flowers die? By controlling respiration. How is respiration controlled? By controlling temperature. We know that respiration produces heat, b
21、ut the reverse(相反的过程)is also true. Thus by maintaining low temperatures, respiration is reduced and the cut flower will age more slowly. 5Another vital factor in keeping cut flowers is the quality of the water in which they are placed. Flowers find it difficult to “drink“ water that is dirty or othe
22、rwise polluted. Even when water looks and smells clean, it almost certainly contains harmful substances that can endanger the flowers. To rid the water of these unwanted substances, household chlorine bleach (漂白剂) can be used in small quantities. It is recommended that 15 drops of chlorine bleach (a
23、t 4% solution) be added to each litre of water. The water and solution should also be replaced each day.（分数：8.00）(1).paragraph 2 1 A. Control of Respiration B. Beauty of Fresh Cut Flowers C.

26、ekeland and Hartmann report that the “short sleepers“ had been more or less average in their sleep needs until the men were in their teens. But at about age 15 or so, the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These m
27、en tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines. In general, these “short sleepers“ appeared ambitious, active, energetic, cheerful, conformist (不动摇) in their opinions, and very sure about their career choices. They often held several jo
28、bs at once, or workers full or part-time while going to school. And many of them had a strong urge to appear “normal“ or “acceptable“ to their friends and associates. When asked to recall their dreams, the “short sleepers“ did poorly. More than this, they seemed to prefer not remembering. In similar
29、 fashion, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away. The sleep patterns of the “short sleepers“ were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep patterns shown by many mental patients cat
30、egorized as manic (疯人). The “long sleepers“ were quite different indeed. Baekeland and Hartmann report that these young men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionally deprived of their desired 9 hours
31、of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall their dreams much better than did the “short sleepers“. Many of the “long sleepers“ were shy, anxious, introverted (内向), inhibited (压抑), passive, mildly depressed, and unsure of themselves (particularly in social situations). Several openly states that slee

37、osts HarvestsBritish scientists are breeding a new generation of rice plants that will be able to grow in soil containing salt water. Their work may enable abandoned farms to become productive once more. Tim Flowers and Tony Yeo, from Sussex University“s School of Biological Sciences, have spent sev
38、eral years researching how crops, such as rice, could be made to grow in water that has become salty. The pair have recently begun a three-year programme, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, to establish which genes enable some plants to survive salty conditions. Th
39、e aim is to breed this capability into crops, starting with rice. It is estimated that each year more than 10m hectares (公顷)of agricultural land are lost because salt gets into the soil and stunts (妨碍生长)plants. The problem is caused by several factors. In the tropics, mangroves (红树林)that create swam
40、ps (沼泽)and traditionally formed barriers to sea water have been cut down. In the Mediterranean, a series of droughts have caused the water table to drop, allowing sea water to seep (渗透)in. In Latin America, irrigation often causes problems when water is evaporated (蒸发)by the heat, leaving salt depos
41、its behind. Excess salt then enters the plants and prevents them functioning normally. Heavy concentrations of minerals in the plants stop them drawing up the water they need to survive. To overcome these problems, Flowers and Yeo decided to breed rice plants that take in very little salt and store
42、what they do absorb in cells that do not affect the plants“ growth. They have started to breed these characteristics into a new rice crop, but it will take about eight harvests before the resulting seeds are ready to be considered for commercial use. Once the characteristics for surviving salty soil
43、 are known, Flowers and Yeo will try to breed the appropriate genes into all manners of crops and plants. Land that has been abandoned to nature will then be able to bloom again, providing much needed food in the poorer countries of the world.（分数：15.00）(1).Which of the following statements about Flo
44、wers and Yeo is true?（分数：3.00）A.They are students at Sussex University.B.They are rice breeders.C.They are husband and wife.D.They are colleagues at an institution of higher learning.(2).Flowers and Yeo have started a program _.（分数：3.00）A.to find ways to prevent water pollutionB.to identify genes th
