12、according to psychologist John Stern (21) Washington University in St. Louis. Stern specialized in the study on these tiny twitches, using them as sensitive (22) of how the brain works. “I use blinks as a psychological measure to make (23) about thinking because I have very little (24) in what you t

13、ell me about what you are thinking.“ He says. “If I ask you the question, what does the phrase a rolling stone gathers no moss mean? you cant tell me (25) youve started looking for the answer. But I can, by watching your eyes.“Blinks also tell Stern when you have understood his question-often long b

14、efore hes finished asking it-and when youve found an answer or part of (26) . “We blink at times (27) are psychologically important.“ He says. “You have listened to a question, you understand it, (28) you can take time out for a blink. Blinks are (29) marks. Their timing is tied to what is going on

15、in your (30) .“Stern has found that (31) suppress blinks when they are absorbing or anticipating (32) but not when theyre reciting it. People blink later, for example, (33) they have to memorize six numbers instead of two. “You dont blink,“ he says, “until you have (34) the information to some short

16、-term memory store.“ And if subjects are cued (35) the set of numbers is coming, say, five seconds, theyll curb their blinks until the task is (36) . Similarly, the more important the information that people are taking in, the more likely they are to put their blinks on hold for (37) Pilots blink le

22、题数：1，分数：10.00)Anyone who doubts that global financial markets control national economies need only look at the crisis facing the “tigers“ of the Far East. Last year, the value of their currencies dropped rapidly, after investors decided that their economic policies were not strong enough; now the re

23、gion is suffering slower growth, lower living standards and rising unemployment.The situation in Asia shows how power has shifted from individual governments to the markets. In theory, governments are free to set their own economic policies; in practice, they must conform to a global economic model

24、or risk being penalized by the markets.Adjusting to this new “economic order“ is proving difficult, in the developed world, and in particular the European Union, globalization is facing widespread public resistance. Critics complain that, without the protection of trade barriers, jobs are being lost

25、 to workers in poorer countries, and wages for employees in rich countries are falling. Opponents in the European Union point to the effects that globalization has had in the U.S. and Britain. In those countries, wages are stagnant-except for a few privileged-and taxes and welfare benefits have been

26、 reduced to help companies compete with industries in the developing world.Those in favor of globalization accuse their critics of being shortsighted protectionists. They claim that a more integrated global economy will ultimately benefit everyone because it will enable countries to specialize in th

27、ose areas where they perform best. Developing countries, with their higher populations and lower wages, will concentrate on labor-intensive industries. The richer countries, on the other hand, will diversify into high-tech industries, where high productivity and specialist knowledge are paramount. T

28、he effect of this will be to improve productivity in all countries, leading to higher living standards. The free movement of capital will also help poorer countries develop so that they can play a full and active role in the world economy.But how close are we to a truly global economy? For those in

29、favor of globalization, probably too close. But in terms of real economic integration, there are still many problems to be solved. A global economy would mean complete freedom of movement of goods and services, capital, and labor. Yet, even ignoring the tariffs and other restrictions still in place,

30、 cross-border trade remains tiny as compared with the volume of goods and services traded within countries; foreign investment is also extremely small, amounting to little more than five percent of the developed worlds domestic investments.But what is really holding globalization back is the lack of

31、 labor mobility. Labor markets remain overwhelmingly national, even in areas like the European Union, where citizens can live and work in any EU country. The main reasons for this are language and cultural barriers; the lack of internationally recognized qualifications; and, in some cases, strict im

32、migration controls.（分数：10.00）(1).The main reason why some Asian countries are suffering from economic depression is that they _.A. doubt that global financial markets will control national economiesB. fail to follow a global economic model adequatelyC. have set their own free economic policiesD. hav

33、e their power interfere with the markets（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The main opposition to globalization is that _.A. taxes and welfare in the developed countries are reduced without protection of trade barriersB. there are too great economic differences between rich and poor countriesC. globalization is b

34、eneficial to the developing countries onlyD. high productivity and specialist knowledge are not suitable to labor-intensive industries（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).What does the sentence “wages are stagnant“ (Paragraph 3) most probably mean?A. Wages stop rising.B. Wages are so high that there is no need to r

35、ise.C. There is a pause in wages, but they will soon rise.D. Wages begin to fall.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The word “paramount“ (Paragraph 4) may be replaced by _.A. vital B. more important C. less important D. similar（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The author suggests in the passage that in order to realize a trul

36、y global economy, great efforts should be made in all the following aspects EXCEPT _.A. elimination of language and cultural barriersB. permission of free labor mobilityC. increase in the volume of goods and services traded beyond borderD. reduction of tariffs and loosening of other restrictions（分数：

37、2.00）A.B.C.D.五、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Global energy demand is expected to triple by mid-century. The earth is unlikely to run out of fossil fuels by then, given its vast reserves of coal, but it seems unthinkable that we will continue to use them as we do now. Its not just a question of supply a

38、nd price, or even of the disease caused by filthy air. The terrorist assault on the World Trade Center raises other scary scenarios: how much easier would it be to crack open the Trans-Alaska pipeline and how much deadlier would it be to bomb a nuclear plant than to attack a wind arm?Skeptics may re

39、call the burst of enthusiasm for conservation and renewable power when oil prices quadrupled in the 1970s. State-funded energy research and development surged, while tax incentives boosted solar, wind and other alternatives to petroleum and the atom. But when oil supplies loosened and prices dropped

40、 in the early 1990s, governments lost interest. In the state of California, subsidies evaporated, pushing wind companies into bankruptcy.Clean energy has long way to go. Only 2.2% of the worlds energy comes from “new“ renewables such as small hydroelectric dams, wind, solar and geothermal. How to bo

41、ost that share-and at what pace-is debated in industrialized nations-from Japan, which imports 99.7 % of its oil, to Germany, where the nearby Chernobyl accident turned the public against nuclear plants, to the U.S., where the Bush Administration has strong ties to the oil industry. But the momentum

42、 toward clean renewables is undeniable. How soon we reach an era of clean, inexhaustible energy depends on technology. Solar and wind energies are intermittent: When the sky is cloudy or the breeze dies down, fossil fuel or nuclear plants must kick into compensate. But scientists are working on bett

43、er ways to store electricity from renewable sources.While developed nations debate how to fuel their power plants, however, some 1.6 billion people-a quarter of the globes population-have no access to electricity or gasoline. Many spend their days collecting firewood and cow dung, burning it in prim

44、itive stoves that belch smoke into their lungs. To emerge from poverty, they need modern energy. And renewables can help. From village-scale hydropower to household photovoltaic systems to bio-gas stoves that convert dung into fuel.Ultimately, the earth can meet its energy needs without fouling the

45、environment. “But it wont happen,“ asserts Thomas Johansson, an energy adviser to the United Nations Development Program, “without political will.“ To begin with, widespread government subsidies for fossil fuels and nuclear energy must be dismantled to level the playing field for renewables. Moreove

46、r, government should pressure utility to meet targets for renewable sources of energy.（分数：10.00）(1).The authors biggest worry about using nuclear energy is that _.A. it will do great harm to the inadequate reserves of coalB. it is deadly if terrorists attack a nuclear plantC. it will limit the devel

47、opment of many other alternativesD. there will be a wider gap between developed and developing countries（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The renewable energy research lost support from governments in the early 1990s because _.A. skeptics were becoming doubtful about the efficiency of renewablesB. renewables cou

48、ld not meet the increasing energy needs of the societyC. it was much easier and cheaper to use oil than beforeD. the investment into the field was not worth its value（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Which one of the following applies to the use of renewables in developed nations?A. The more developed a nation i

49、s, the higher the proportion of renewables being used.B. Developed nations are experiencing a fierce energy revolution.C. Developed nations ties with the oil industry are becoming tense.D. Developed nations havent reached a consensus about using more renewables.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).From the passage, we can conclude that _.A. it will be impossible for wind and solar energy to completely replace fossil fuelsB. high techno
