But f

7、or how long？ Genetically modified maize （玉米） could mean extinction for this beautiful butterfly， Rafael Ruiz reports. Although its body is about 3 cm long and it only weighs 1 gin， the Monarch butterfly manages to travel 5，000 km each year. It seems to be so fragile， but its long journeys are proof

8、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 bright， golden rai

9、n 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 their journeys end th

10、ey 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 per cent 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 American continent. W

11、hen 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 kind - from scientific progress. In the US， millions of farms

12、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 threat to the Mon

13、archs. 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 modified maize）。 The

17、 Olympic Games in Athens， the Chinese athlete Liu Xiang equaled the world record for the 110 metres hurdles （跨栏） when he ran the race in 12.91 seconds. This record time had been set in 1993 by British sprinter （短跑运动员） Colin Jackson and 9 years went by before another athlete was able to run as fast.

18、2 Record-breaking in all track events is Slowing clown and we appear to be moving much closer to the limits of human performance. Nevertheless， every four years， records which were previously thought to be unbeatable are broken. So whats behind this never-ending improvement in performance？ And how l

19、ong can we keep breaking records？ Is there a limit to human performance or will athletes continue to gain seconds？ 3 Most experts agree that it isnt the athletes bodies which have changed but the huge advances in sport science which have enabled them to improve their performances. The individual ath

20、lete obviously has to have the necessary skill and determination to succeed， but the help of science and technology can be significant. Research has brought a better understanding of the athletes body and mind but the advances in sports equipment technology have also had an important impact on human

21、 performance. 4 Scientists have shown that an athletes bodys needs vary according to the type of sport. This research has helped top sports people to adapt their training programme and diet better to their particular needs. Running the marathon and cycling， for example， are endurance （耐力） sports and

22、 require a different parathion （硝苯硫磷脂） to that of a 100-metre sprinter. In some sports， changes in techniques have significantly improved performance. 5 But in any sport， a players success or failure results from a combination of both physical and mental abilities. Most coaches use psychological tec

23、hniques to help their athletes cope with stress and concentrate on their performance For example， the English football team listens to music in the changing rooms before a game to help the players relax and not feel so nervous. Before a difficult match， tennis players are encouraged to use visualiza

24、tion （想象） techniques to build confidence and this is almost as good as practice. 6 But as science begins to dominate sport， are we in danger of losing sight of the heart of the competition， the sporting challenge？ Whats more， are all these advantages fair？ 23 Paragraph 2_. 24 Paragraph 3_. 25 Paragr

28、 centuries. But the casual Prime Minister Tony Blair has problems with them. Reports suggest that even the civil servants may stop wearing ties. So， are the famously formal British really going to abandon the neckties？ Maybe. Last week， the UKs Cabinet Secretary Andrew Turnbull openly welcomed a tie

29、less era. He hinted that civil servants would soon be tree of the costliest 12 inches of fabric that most men ever buy in their lives. In fact， Blair showed this attitude when he had his first guests to a cocktail party. Many of them were celebrities （知名人士） without ties， which would have been unimag

30、inable even in the recent past. For some more conservative British， the tie is a must for proper appearance. Earlier， Labor leader Jim Callaghan said he would have died rather than have his children seen in public without a tie. For people like Callaghan， the tile was a sign of being complete， of sh

31、owing respect. Men were supposed to wear a tie when going to church， to work in the office， to a party - almost every social occasion. But today， people have begun to accept a casual style even for formal occasions. The origin of the tie is tricky. It started as something called simply a “band”。 The

32、 term could mean anything around a mans neck. It appeared in finer ways in the 1630s. Frenchmen showed a love of this particular fashion statement. Their neckwear （颈饰）impressed Charles II， the king of England who was exiled（流放）to France at that time. When he returned to England in 1660， he brought t

33、his new fashion item along with him. It wasnt， however， until the late 18th century that fancy young men introduced a more colorful， flowing piece of cloth that eventually became known as the tie. Then， clubs military institutions and schools began to use colored and patterned ties to indicate the w

34、earers membership in the late 19th century. After that， the tie became a necessary item of clothing for British gentlemen. But now， even gentlemen are getting tired of ties. Anyway， the day feels a bit easier when you wake up without having to decide which tie suits you and your mood. （分数：15.00）(1).

35、 The tie symbolizes all of the following except （分数：3.00）A.respectB.eleganceC.politenessD.democracy(2).Why does Blair sometimes show up in a formal event without a tie？ （分数：3.00）A.Because he wants to make a showB.Because he wants to attract attention.C.Because ties are costly.D.Because he wants to l

36、ive in a casual way.(3).Which of the following is NOT a social occasion？ （分数：3.00）A.Going to church.B.Going to work in the office.C.Staying at home.D.Going to a party.(4).Who brought the Frenchmens neckwear to Britain？ （分数：3.00）A.Tony Blair.B.Charles ll.C.Jim Callaghan.D.Andrew Turnbull.(5).When did

37、 British gentlemen begin to wear ties regularly？ （分数：3.00）A.After the late 19th century.B.In the 1630s.C.In 1660.D.In the late 18th century.第二篇 Where Have All the Frogs Gone？ In the 1980s， scientists around the world began to notice something strange： Frogs were disappearing. More recent research ha

38、s shown that many kinds of amphibians （两栖动物） are declining or have become extinct. They have been around for a long time - over 350 million years. Why are they dying out now？ Scientists are seriously concerned about this question. First of all， amphibians are an important source of scientific and me

39、dical knowledge. By studying amphibians， scientists have learned about new substances that could be very useful for treating human diseases. Further research could lead to many more discoveries， but that will be impossible if the amphibians disappear. The most serious aspect of amphibian loss， howev

40、er， goes beyond the amphibians themselves. Scientists are beginning to think about what amphibian decline means for the planet as a whole. If the earth is becoming unlivable for amphibians， is it also becoming unlivable for other kinds of animals and human beings as well？ Scientists now believe that

41、 amphibian decline is due to several environmental factors. One of these factors is the destruction of habitat， the natural area where an animal lives. Amphibians are very sensitive to changes in their habitat. If they cannot find the right conditions， they will not lay their eggs. These days， as wi

42、ld areas are covered with houses， roads， farms， or factories， many kinds of amphibians are no longer laying eggs. For example， the arroyo toad （蟾蜍） of southern California will only lay its eggs on the sandy bottom of a slow-moving stream. There are very few streams left in southern California， and t

43、hose streams are often muddy because of building projects. Not surprisingly， the arroyo toad is now in danger of extinction. There are a number of other factors in amphibian decline. Pollution is one of them. In many industrial areas， air pollution has poisoned the rain， which then falls on ponds an

44、d kills the frogs and toads that live there. In farming areas， the heavy use of chemicals on crops has also killed off amphibians. Another factor is that air pollution has led to increased levels of ultraviolet （UV） light. This endangers amphibians， which seem to be especially sensitive to UV light.

45、 And finally， scientists have discovered a new disease that seems to be killing many species of amphibians in different parts of the world. All these reasons for the disappearance of amphibians are also good reasons for more general concern. The destruction of land， the pollution of the air and the

46、water， the changes in our atmosphere， the spread of diseases - these factors affect human beings， too. Amphibians are especially sensitive to environmental change. Perhaps they are like the canary （金丝雀） bird that coal miners once used to take down into the mines to detect poisonous gases. When the c

47、anary became ill or died， the miners knew that dangerous gases were near and their own lives were in danger. （分数：15.00）(1).Losing amphibians means losing （分数：3.00）A.knowledge about fatal human diseases.B.knowledge about air and water pollution.C.a chance to discover new medicines.D.an opportunity to

48、 detect poisonous gases.(2). Amphibians lay their eggs （分数：3.00）A.in any stream they can find，B.in places without UV light，C.only on sand.D.only in the right conditions(3).The arroyo toad is disappearing because （分数：3.00）A.it has been threatened by frogs.B.it is losing its habitat.C.a disease has be

49、en killing its eggs.D.it cant bear the cold of winter.(4). Coal miners once used the canary bird to detect （分数：3.00）A.poisonous gases.B.air pollution.C.water leakage.D.radiation.(5).Scientists think that the decline of amphibians could （分数：3.00）A.cause environmental change.B.cause a decline in other kinds of animals.C.be a warning signal for human beings.D.be a good sign for human beings.第三篇 Controlling Robots with the Mind Belle， our tiny monkey， was seated in her special chair inside a c
