20、ens to sunlight as it enters the Earths atmosphere. Sunlight (42) light rays of all lengths. The longer rays make up red light and the shorter rays make up blue light. (43) sunlight enters the Earths atmosphere, it strikes the tiny (44) of air and is scattered. The scattered light is made up mostly

21、of violet, blue, a little green, and a little yellow and red. The (45) of these colors is sky blue.Sometimes (46) sunset the sky looks red. The sunlight is coming toward you from a lower (47) in the sky. The lower the sun, the (48) is the path that the light rays must travel through the air. The sho

As the sun gets (51) in the sky, the light rays must pass through more air, and so the longer orange and red rays also become scattered. At sunset, the

This is because of a growing numb

28、er of claims from defendants(被告) that their “prints“ have been “lifted“ and planted at scenes of crimes. And these allegations(断言) are being taken seriously by lawyers, judges, and policemen because it is possible to move a finger print from one spot and place it elsewhere. A committee of lawyers is

29、 making an investigation into fingerprinting. They are not aiming to establish if these allegations are true or not, but they are questioning current fingerprinting methods as part of a general inquiry into scientific evidence.How can a fingerprint be transferred? A fingermark left on a greasy(油腻的)

30、glass or some other smooth surface can be “lifted“ with a strip of adhesive(胶粘剂). It can then be deposited on another, perhaps incriminating(与罪牵连) object. Before 1973, fingerprints at the scene of a crime used to be photographed for identification purposes and the objects carrying the prints were sh

31、own in court as well. However, this is no longer necessary. Since 1973, a new method of taking prints has been used. Police experts can now use a strip of adhesive tape to “lift“ a print which is then produced in court as evidence. As a result, criminals are accusing the police of lifting their prin

32、ts and planting them at the scene of a crime. And lawyers are worried about this increasing number of claims.According to the ex-chief of Scotland Yards fingerprint department, Mr Harold Squires, more than 55 % of the cases he now gets are making these claims. But so far he has not seen any fingerpr

33、int evidence that proves the allegations to be true. Lifting a mark and putting it on another object requires great skill and trouble. Its almost impossible but it can be done. It can usually be easily detected by experts, but there is a chance that even experts may not be able to tell. So he would

34、like the old method of photographing prints and producing them together with the objects to be generally used again.（分数：8.00）(1).The purpose of the investigation being made by a committee of lawyers is _.（分数：2.00）A.to establish the truth of the allegations from suspected criminalsB.to prove the inno

35、cence of the defendantsC.to show the honesty of the policemenD.to inquire into the reliability of present fingerprinting methods(2).Since 1973 _.（分数：2.00）A.it has been essential to produce in court the objects on which the fingerprints were foundB.police fingerprinting methods have been simplifiedC.

36、claims against police fingerprinting methods have always been successfulD.the policemen have transferred a great number of fingerprints on incriminating objects(3).From the passage we can conclude that _.（分数：2.00）A.many criminals have used fingerprints to prove that they are innocentB.transferring f

37、ingerprints needs great skills and effortsC.people can always tell whether a fingerprint on an incriminating object is true or falseD.the new fingerprinting method is more reliable than photographing prints and producing them together with the objects(4).Mr Squires seems most concemed about _.（分数：2.

38、00）A.the dishonesty of the policemenB.the growing number of criminalsC.the possibility to fail to detect a transferred fingerprintD.the difficulty in getting the fingerprint evidence九、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：8.00)All that fault-finding about lowering cholesterol(胆固醇) and eating less fat must finally be

39、 paying off. According to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, more Americans are eating a healthy diet now than 30 years ago. In fact, according to researchers from the University of North Carolina, just about the only people who ate right in the mid-1900s were poor black peopl

40、e, who simply couldnt afford the steaks and high-protein meals that were then considered the most nutritious. According to survey data collected by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, more than 16% of poor black people in 1965 ate a healthy diet, compared with less than 5% of high-income whites.And

41、 what constitutes a healthy diet? Less than 30% of calories from fat. Five or more servings a day of fruits and vegetables. Six or more helpings of legumes (peas and beans) and cereals (谷类食物). Exactly the diet that rich health-conscious people started adopting in the U.S. in the 1980s.Theres still a

42、 long way to go, however. Although both high- and low-income Americans have cut about 5% of the fat from their diet, they havent replaced it with fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes. By 1991 only 20% to 22% of the general population was eating a healthy diet. Indeed, among poor blacks, the averag

43、e number of servings of grains and legumes declined from six to five servings a day, and now equals the number consumed by whites. “The message about lowering fat has been heard“, says Barry Popkin, a professor of nutrition at University of North Carolina who led the study, which was funded in part

44、by the Kellogg Corp. “But we havent been as loud and clear on fiber, sodium(钠), fruits and vegetables, grains and legumes./（分数：8.00）(1)._ people were the only people who ate right in the mid-1960s.（分数：2.00）A.WhiteB.Poor whiteC.BlackD.Poor black(2).What kind of food were considered the most nutritiou

45、s around 30 years ago?（分数：2.00）A.Cereals.B.Legumes.C.Steaks.D.Vegetables.(3).How many percent of the general population was eating a healthy diet by 19917（分数：2.00）A.5%B.16%C.22%D.30%(4).What is the implication of the last sentence of this passage?（分数：2.00）A.Many people havent realized the importance

46、 of many other healthy diets.B.It is not clear whether we should eat more fiber, sodium, fruits, etc.C.Fiber, sodium, fruits and vegetables, grains and legumes are healthy diets.D.We didnt make it loud to people that they should have more other diets.十、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：8.00)People tend to unde

47、restimate their life expectancy, and its not surprising. Its the look around problem again: You generalize from life spans of older friends and family members and figures thats whats in store for you, too. But in an era of rapidly improving life expectancy, the look-around method once again gives th

48、e wrong answer.Life expectancy at age 65 today is 15.6 additional years for woman. For both sexes, this represents an increase of more than two years just since 1970. By the time the youngest baby boomers turn 65, the Social Security Administration projects that life expectancy at that age could be

49、as high as 18 more years for men and 21 years for women. Note that everyone runs very nearly a 50 percent “risk“ of living longer than their life expectancy.That reality makes retirement planning exceptionally difficult. On the day a husband and wife turn 65, they may have only a year or two of living between them to finance, or they may have 70. A good rule of thumb(单凭经验来做的方法) might be to plan agains
