D
The oldest forms of medicine are enjoying a comeback. Modern holistic medicine is an approach that treats the whole patient, not just the disease. It is a way to maintain good health rather than cure illness. The most important influences on today’s holistic medicine are ancient Chinese medicine and Indian Ayurvedic medicine, both of which promoted whole body health.
Holistic medicine usually combines diet, physical exercise and meditation, together with other alternative techniques such as massage(按摩) and acupuncture(针炙). Herbal treatment, a practice of treating illness by using plants, is influenced by the writings of Culpeper as well as Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. Homeopathy(顺势疗法) is one of the forms of holistic medicine which is widely practiced in Europe and the USA. Homeopathy began in Germany in the early 1800s, when Samuel Hahnemann described how very tiny doses(剂量) of a drug had an effect on his patients. According to Hahnemann, the more the drug was diluted(稀释), the stronger its effects. The substance selected would produce similar effects to the disease itself if given in large doses. In the UK homeopathy is regarded as a non-traditional but just about acceptable treatment.
Meditation and contemplation have an important role in holistic medicine. They were brought to Europe by Indian teachers who combined Indian Ayurvedic medicine with Western beliefs. Transcendental meditation(超脱静坐) is one of the best known of these techniques. People repeat words inside their head to reach a state of deep relaxation.
The holistic movement has made many doctors look at the whole patient, not just the disease. Life-style, emotional problems and diet are just some of the factors that can affect a person’s health. Holistic medicine emphasizes good diet, exercise and fresh air, all of which contribute to health. Some clinics now offer holistic medicine along with traditional treatments, so that their patients can choose a combination of treatments that suits them. One problem with holistic medicine is that it is difficult for people to be sure a doctor is reliable. To solve this, many countries want alternative doctors to form professional bodies.

C
Reading about history is nice, but finding ties to long-ago historical events in your own backyard is really exciting．
In their heavily populated area, neighbors Adam Giles,13, and Derek Hann．12, uncovered pieces of glass that looked quite different from what’s used today．“After digging about two feet down, I came across an interesting bottle,” Derek said．The bottle had a “pontil scar” on the bottle, an indication that it was hand-blown rather than machine made．It also had the name “Fraser” on one side．
Adam found remains of a green bottle and some very thick brown glass—again, far different from today’s．
After doing research on the computer, the boys contacted Aimee Wells of the county’s Cultural Resources office．She showed them a computer program that digitally puts old maps over modern satellite photographs．
Bingo! Their back yards were once part of a military（军事的） encampment（营地） called Camp Alger used by Ohio soldiers on their way to fight in the Spanish-American War in 1898．
So how do a few bottles get connected to a brief war that was more than a century ago? “We get there by good judgment,” Wells said．“We know the time period of the bottles and what happened in that area．” Anyone can dig a hole, but archaeologists seek a deeper understanding．How do objects found relate to things around them?
When Derek and Adam realized that a solider might have held that Fraser bottle 110 years ago, they wondered what he might have been thinking．What did he see as he looked around him? How did he pass the time waiting to go into battle?
Historical records show that while waiting for orders, the soldiers in and around Camp Alger played baseball, played instruments and walked seven miles to the Potomac River once a week for baths．A spread of strange fever forced the closing of the camp, and there are no buildings to study．“What’s left is only what’s in the ground,” said Wells．
Derek’s and Adam’s back yards have joined the 3,400 places listed on the county’s register of archaeological sites．The boys were given tips on how to dig effectively and safely, and on how to document the location of items found．
The official record of their finds serves as another piece of the puzzle for historians seeking to form a more complete story of what happened．
“Not everyone is going to have historical objects in their own yard,” Wells said．“That’s okay．Make your own time capsule and bury it．What would you want people to know about your life years from now?”
63．What is the passage mainly about?
A．How Adam Giles and Derek Hann dug out the remains of an ancient military encampment．
B．What Adam Giles and Derek Hann found in their back yard and its relationship with an encampment．
C．The great contribution Adam Giles and Derek Hann made to the cause of archaeology．
D．The tips on how to dig out ancient objects buried under the ground safely and effectively．
64．From the passage, we can see that the boy’s discovery _______．
A．includes all kinds of hand-made and machine- made glass．
B．has helped historians find out what happened in 1898．
C．couldn’t have been meaningful without Aimee Wells’ help．
D．has added the county to the list of archaeologist sites．
65．When Wells said “We get there by good judgment．” （Paragraph 6）, she meant that_______．
A．they have established the ties to Camp Alger by finding out the time period of the bottles．
B．they have figured out how to get to the place where the brief war happened．
C．they have managed to dig out the bottles in the back yard safely with common sense．
D．they were able to locate the soldiers who used the Fraser bottles 110 years ago．
66．Which of the following fits the description of historical records?
A．The soldiers in and around Camp Alger delighted in playing basketball in their spare time．
B．When Camp Alger was forced to close, all the buildings there were destroyed．
C．The soldiers in and around Camp Alger often buried some bottles underground as time capsules．
D．Camp Alger was forced to close because of a spread of a strange fever．

A new age is coming. Call it what you will: the service economy, the information age, the knowledge society. It all translates to a fundamental change in the way we work. Already we’re partly there, the percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen dramatically in the Western World. Today the majority of jobs in America, Europe and Japan are in the service industry, and the number is on the rise. More women are in the work force than ever before. There are more part-time jobs. More people are self-employed. But the range of
the economic transformation can’t be measured by numbers alone, because it also is giving rise to important new way of thinking about the nature of work itself. Long-held ideas about jobs and careers, the skills needed to succeed, even the relation between individuals and employers — all these are being challenged.We have only to look behind us to get some sense of what may lie ahead. No one looking ahead 20 years possibly could have foreseen the ways in which a single invention, the chip, would transform our world thanks to its applications in personal computers, digital communications and factory robots. Tomorrow’s achievements in biotechnology, artificial intelligence or even some still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of dramatic changes. But one thing is certain: information and knowledge will become even more valid, and the people who possess it, whether they work in manufacturing or services, will have the advantage and produce the wealth. Computer knowledge will become as basic a requirement as the ability to read and write. The ability to solve problems by applying information instead of performing routine tasks will be valued above all else. If you cast your mind ahead 10 years, information service will be superior. It will be the way you do your job.
66. A characteristic of the new age mentioned in the passage is that .
A. the service industry mainly relies on females
B. manufacturing industries are steadily increasing
C. more people are in the service industry than before
D. the work in the service industry is more comfortable than that in manufacturing industry
67. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. People’s traditional concepts about jobs need changing.
B. The relation between employees and employers is b
ecoming tense.C. More women than men are in the work force.
D. Part-time jobs are more welcome than full-time jobs.
68. By mentioning the invention of “the chip”, the author means to say that .
A. we haven’t paid enough attention to the importance of high technology
B. the chip is the most important invention today
C. the power of science and technology is beyond our imagination
D. it’s a great challenge to apply new inventions to our life
69. We may draw a conclusion from the passage that .
A. information will play a greater role in people’s work and daily life in the future
B. we can foresee the future if technology develops fast enough
C. the ability of performing routine tasks gives you an advantage in work
D. robots will replace people to do all the work both in manufacturing and service industries
70. The author’s attitude to the coming age is .
A. doubtful B. enthusiastic C. satisfied D. Uncertain
B
Particles from car exhausts generate more persistent clouds but less rain, new research suggests. Furthermore, putting more of these particles into the atmosphere reduces the low-level winds, which could reduce the amount of wind power available in very polluted regions. The dry but populated regions may therefore suffer a triple blow as a result of vehicle pollution：less water, less hydropower and less wind energy.
Scientists studied the effects of aerosol（浮质）pollution from cars and industry. They correlated satellite data on wind speeds and the amount of aerosol particles in the atmosphere above the South Coast Basin in California and above China. Results showed that higher concentrations of aerosols were closely associated with slower ground winds. Scientists then used computer models to support the idea that there was a cause and effect relationship behind this correlation.
Particles floating in the atmosphere block energy from the Sun, preventing it from warming the surface of the Earth. Cooler surface temperatures during the day means the low—level and slow moving air does not rise up and mix with the faster winds at higher altitudes. Slower winds also induce less evaporation from oceans, rivers and lakes. And finally, once clouds have formed, they store less moisture in the form of rain. This is because raindrops form around small particles— dust, for instance, or pollution. With more particles in the atmosphere, it takes longer for enough water to condense（凝结）onto a particle to form a raindrop. And if the cloud of fine droplets（小滴）moves to a drier area before its would-be rain can rail, the moisture evaporates once more and the cloud disappears.
Scientists note their new work does not contradict previous findings that suggest global warming might lead to more tropical storms, because there is far less particulate（微粒的）pollution over the oceans.
60. The first paragraph mainly talks about .
A. the results of vehicle pollution
B. an introduction to particles from car exhausts
C. less wind energy in polluted regions
D. less water caused by vehicle pollution
61. From this passage we can learn that .
A. scientists supported their idea by using material models
B. the new study is contrary to the previous findings
C. if there are more particles in the atmosphere, there will be more raindrops
D. there is a cause and effect relationship between wind speeds and particle pollution
62. The underlined word “induce” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean _ .
A. reduce B. persuade C. cause D. produce
63. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Pollution and Global Warming B. Car, Wind and Rain
C. Industry Pollution D. How Rain Forms
C
Could the solution to world future energy needs lie in the ocean? It’s possible.
We are not talking about oil, but another potential untapped energy resource called “methane hydrates”.
Methane hydrates are hard, ice-like white solids that form naturally in deposits (沉积物) on ocean floors. They arecomposed of water and highly concentrated methane produced by the microorganisms living in the deposits.
The remarkable thing is that you can hold a flame to a piece of methane hydrate and it will catch on fire. It’s been called “burning ice.”
Methane hydrates are spread around the world. These deposits may in the future become a very important fuel resource. One researcher calculated that a small area off the Southeastern coast of America may contain methane hydrates equal to 30 times the annual U.S. consumption of natural gas.
Right now there are very significant technical and financial challenges facing us before we could exploit this as a resource. Scientists around the world are studying these challenges. One big issue is how to get these methane hydrates off the ocean floor, causing undersea landslides and tidal waves.
Another issue is how to handle the matter after it is brought up. It’s also unclear whether it would make more sense to “mine” solid hydrates or tap the gases found with them. And many deposits may occur in low concentrations with no commercial potential.
Japan, which has no oil supplies of its own, has thrown itself into burning ice research because it has deposits off its shores which could make Japan less dependent on foreign suppliers of oil.
The U.S. Department of Energy and Congress are also supporting research. However, the US administration’s energy policy is focused on traditional fossil (化石) fuels. And at least for now, developing burning ice into a fuel source isn’t high on the energy industry’s list. But if natural gas continues to rise in price, exploiting burning ice might become economically practical.
59. What’s the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph Two?
A. not existed B. Unseen C. available but not used D. unreal
60. What can you learn from the text?
A. Burning ice has been used in some countries.
B. Applying burning ice tops the energy list in America.
C. Burning ice exists in few countries.
D. There are still some problems in developing the burning ice
61. Why has Japan already begun to develop the burning ice?
A. It is a developed country. B. They want to help other countries.
C. It lacks oil supplies of its own. D. America asked Japan to do so.
62. Which one is the best title of the text?
A. World Energy Shortage B. Burning Ice Holds Hope as Fuel Source
C. Methane Hydrates D. Methane Hydrates Spread around the World

It’s only too natural that personal characteristics play a vital role in the development of one"s intelligence. But people 36 to realize the importance of cultivating (培养) these factors. The so-called “non-intelligence factors” include one’s 37 , will, motivation, interests and habits. In their studies American psychologists 38 the main cause of differences in intelligence is not intelligence itself, but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn, will-power and self-confidence.
39 people know one should have definite objectives, a strong will and good learning habits, quite a number of teachers and parents don’t 40 cultivating these factors.
Some parents are 41 when their children fail to do well in their studies. They blame either genetic factors, malnutrition, or laziness, but they never take 42 consideration these non-intelligence factors. Some teachers don’t inquire into such reasons as 43 students do poorly. They simply give them more courses and exercises, or 44 scold or laugh at them. After all these, students lose self-confidence. Some 45 themselves up as hopeless, feeling defeated. Others 46 take wrong or evil ways because they are sick of learning. An investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students showed that 46.5% of them were 47
of learning because of examinations; 36.4% lacked persistence and 10.3% were sick of learning.
It is clear that 48 of cultivation of non-intelligence factors has been a main 49__ to intelligence development in teenagers. It even causes an imbalance between physiological and 50 development among students.
If we don’t start now to 51 the cultivation of non-intelligence factors, it will not only block the development of 52 of teenagers, but also affect the quality of a whole generation. Some experts have put forward 53 about how to cultivate students’ non-intelligence factors.
Parents and teachers should 54 understand teenage psychology. On this basic, they can help them to pursue the objectives of learning, 55 their interests in their studies and toughening their willpower.
