Several thousand people were left without power in Kent County. One women
8、 suffered minor head and neck injuries. “It felt as if the whole house was being slid across like a fun-fair ride,“ said the woman. The British Geological Survey said the 4.3-magnitude quake struck at 8:19 a.m. and was centered under the English Channel, about 8.5 miles south of Dover and near the e
9、ntrance to the Channel Tunnel. Witnesses said cracks appeared in walls and chimneys collapsed across the county. Residents said the tremor had lasted for about 10 to 15 seconds. “I was lying in bed and it felt as if someone had just got up from bed next to me.“ said Hendrick van Eck, 27, of Canterbu
10、ry about 60 miles southeast of London. “I then heard the sound of cracking, and it was getting heavier and heavier. It felt as if someone was at the end of my bed hopping up and down.“ There are thousands of moderate quakes on this scale around the world each year, but they are rare in Britain. The
11、April 28 quake was the strongest in Britain since 2002 when a 4.8-magnitude quake struck the central England city of Birmingham. The country“s strongest earthquake took place in the North Sea in 1931, measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale. British Geological Survey scientist Roger Musson said the quake
12、 took place on 28 April in an area that had seen several of the biggest earthquakes ever to strike Britain, including one in 1580 that caused damage in London and was felt in France. Musson predicted that it was only a matter of time before another earthquake struck this part of England. However, pe
13、ople should not be scared too much by this prediction, Musson said, as the modern earthquake warning system of Britain should be able to detect a forthcoming quake and announce it several hours before it takes place. This would allow time for people to evacuate and reduce damage to the minimum.（分数：7

17、大意与完成句子(总题数：1，分数：8.00)The Paper Chase1. “Running a house is a lot like running a business.“ says Stephanie Denton, a professional organizer based in Cincinnati, Ohio, who specializes in both residential and commercial paperwork and record keeping. To get a successful grip on organizing documents, bi
18、lls, and other materials, Denton suggests the following tips: 2. Create a space in which you can always do your paperwork. This is perhaps the most important element of a successful system. If you can“t devote an entire desk to the task, at least invest in a rolling file cart to store active paperwo
19、rk and a two-drawer file cabinet for family records. Store the rolling file cart wherever it is most convenient and comfortable to do your work, whether that is the kitchen, office, or family room. 3. When in doubt, throw it out. The first step to implementing a workable filing system is to eliminat
20、e paper you don“t use, don“t need, or that you could easily access again elsewhere. Throw out duplicate statements, old catalogs, and all of the coupons, mailings, or offerings you“ll never have an opportunity to use or even read. 4. Set aside two days a month to pay bills. If a monthly due date doe
21、sn“t fit into your cycle, call up the creditor and suggest a more convenient date. Keep two manila folders at the front of your system for current billsone to correspond with each bill-paying dayand file all incoming bills. Keep a list in the front of each folder of what needs to be paid in ease the
22、 invoice never arrives or gets misplaced. 5. Think of your filing system not as a rigid tool, but as a living, breathing system that can accommodate your changing needs. A good filing system is both mentally and physically flexible. Everyone“s needs are different, says Denton, but when devising a fi
23、lling system, ask yourself: “Where would I look for this?“ Create main headings for your filing system, such as Investments, Taxes, Children, and so forth, and file individual folders under the main headings. Never overstuff your files.（分数：8.00）(1).A. Find a Place to Work on B. Implementing a Workab

Similar to your bedside alarm clock, your internal clock runs on a 24-hour cycle. This cycle, called a circadian rhythm, helps control when yo
27、u wake, when you eat and when you steep. Somewhere around puberty, something happens in the timing of the biological clock. The clock pushes forward, so adolescents and teenagers are unable to fall asleep as early as they used to. When your mother tells you it“s time for bed, your body may be pushin
28、g you to stay up for several hours more. And the light coming from your computer screen or TV could be pushing you to stay up even later. This shift is natural for teenagers. But staying up very late and sleeping late can get your body“s clock out of sync with the cycle of light and dark. It can als
29、o make it hard to get out of bed in the morning and may bring other problems, too. Teenagers are put in a kind of a gray cloud when they don“t get enough sleep, says Mary Carskadon, a sleep researcher at Brown University in Providence, RI. It affects their mood and their ability to think and learn.
30、But just like your alarm clock, your internal clock can be reset. In fact, it automatically resets itself every day. How? By using the light it gets through your eyes. Scientists have known for a long time that the light of day and the dark of night play important roles in setting our internal clock
31、s. For years, researchers thought that the signals that synchronize the body“s clock were handled through the same pathways that we use to see. But recent discoveries show that the human eye has two separate light-sensing systems. One system allows us to see. The second system tells our body whether
32、 it“s day or night.（分数：15.00）(1).The clock located inside our brains is similar to our bedside alarm clock because _.（分数：3.00）A.it controls when we wake, when we eat and when we sleepB.it has a cycle of 24 hoursC.it is a cycle also called circadian rhythmD.it can alarm any time during 24 hours(2).Wh
33、at is implied in the second paragraph?（分数：3.00）A.Young children“s biological clock has the same rhythm with that of the teenagers.B.People after puberty begin to go to bed earlier due to the change of the biological clock.C.Children before puberty tend to fall asleep earlier at night than adolescent
34、s.D.Teenagers go to bed later than they used to due to the light from the computer screen.(3).In the third paragraph the author wants to tell the reader that _.（分数：3.00）A.it is natural for teenagers to stay up late and get up lateB.staying up late has a bad effect on teenagers“ ability to think and
35、learnC.during puberty most teenagers experience a kind of gray cloudD.it is hard for teenagers to get out of bed in the morning(4).Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the fourth and fifth paragraphs?（分数：3.00）A.Our biological clock resets itself automatically.B.Light gets throu
36、gh our eyes and resets our biological clock.C.Our internal clock as well as the alarm clock can be reset automatically.D.Our internal clock, like the alarm clock, can be reset.(5).According to the last two paragraphs, what did the previous researchers think about the human eye“s light-sensing system

38、od PatentsOver the past decade, thousands of patents have been granted for what are called business methods. A received one for its “one-click“ online payment system. Merrill Lynch got legal protection for an asset allocation strategy. One inventor patented a technique for lifting a box. Now the nat
39、ion“s top patent court appears completely ready to scale back on business-method patents, which have been controversial ever since they were first authorized 10 years ago. In a move that has intellectual-property lawyers abuzz, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit said it would use a pa
40、rticular case to conduct a broad review of business-method patents. In Bilski, as the case is known, is “a very big deal“, says Dennis D. Crouch of the University of Missouri School of Law. “It has the potential to eliminate an entire class of patents.“ Curbs on business-method claims would be a dra
41、matic about-face, because it was the Federal Circuit itself that introduced such patents with its 1998 decision in the so-called State Street Bank case, approving a patent on a way of pooling mutual-fund assets. That ruling produced an explosion in business-method patent filings, initially by emergi
42、ng internet companies trying to stake out exclusive rights to specific types of online transactions. Later, move established companies raced to add such patents to their files, if only as a defensive move against rivals that might beat them to the punch. In 2005, IBM noted in a court filing that it
43、had been issued more than 300 business-method patents despite the fact that it questioned the legal basis for granting them. Similarly, some Wall Street investment films armed themselves with patents for financial products, even as they took positions in court cases opposing the practice. The Bilski
44、 case involves a claimed patent on a method for hedging risk in the energy market. The Federal Circuit issued an unusual order stating that the case would be heard by all 12 of the court“s judges, rather than a typical panel of three, and that one issue it wants to evaluate is whether it should “rec
45、onsider“ its State Street Bank ruling. The Federal Circuit“s action comes in the wake of a series of recent decisions by the Supreme Court that has narrowed the scope of protections for patent holders. Last April, for example, the justices signaled that too many patents were being upheld for “invent
46、ions“ that are obvious. The judges on the Federal Circuit are “reacting to the anti-patent trend at the Supreme Court“, says Harold C. Wegner, a patent attorney and professor at George Washington University Law School.（分数：15.00）(1).Business-method patents have recently aroused concern because of _.（
