单选题Scientists have created a tomato that can grow on salty water. The plant is the first crop of its kind ever produced in the world. Its significance can not be overestimated (高估). The new technology can help mankind solve the problem of feeding its ever-expanding population. It is estimated that by 2025 the world population will amount to more than 9 billion, an increase of 3 billion over 2000. Each day 240,000 more people are born, ready to be fed like the rest of us. Unfortunately, not all the land on Earth can be used to grow crops for humans. About 24.7 million acres of the problem is irrigation (灌溉). When farmers water their crops, salts in the water also enter the soil. Over time, salts such as sodium (钠) and calcium (钙) build up to such a point that they severely harm the growth of crops. Salts destroy most plants' ability to draw up water through their roots. But, the new variety of tomato produced by American and Canadian scientists can store salts in its leaves so that the fruit doesn't taste salty. Researchers hope this technology will enable areas of poor-quality land to become productive (多产的). And they can feed some of the world's growing population.

单选题Man finds living together with his own species(物种)difficult enough and living together with other species almost impossible. Our usual solution is to kill off anything that get in our way. Even on those rare occasions when we do enter into a relationship with another species, it is heavily biased(带有倾向)in our favor. The other species benefits only when it suits our own interests. Our attempts to communicate with another species are concerned mainly with giving orders in our own language and having them obeyed Probably our best attempt has been the whistle language that is used in the shepherd-sheepdog relationship. This is a system that is natural to neither species, but one that both can understand. Its only fault lies in fact that the bias is still there--the dog cannot whistle for the man. But now comes news of a piece of research that promises, for the first time, to open up two-way communication between man and another species. At the University of Nevada in the western United States, animated(活跃的)conversations are being held with a young female chimpanzee (黑猩猩)called Washoe. Allen and Beatrice Gardener have succeeded in doing this because they have used an entirely new approach, an approach based on the natural abilities of the chimpanzee. Past attempts to communicate with chimpanzees have failed because the researchers tried to make their animals use a vocal language.

单选题It is clear that some people who participate in exercise training will develop injuries to their bones, muscles, and joints (关节). Despite unfounded reports in the mass media of extremely high injury rates among adult exercisers, there have been few good studies of exercise injuries in populations. One of the difficulties in performing such studies has been the need to identify both the number of cases and the number of people at risk for injury. In other words, it is difficult to know the number of individuals injured and the total number of individuals exercising in the population. But these two figures are necessary in order to calculate (统计) tree injury rates. Normally, injury is defined as an accident that causes a person to stop exercising for at least one week. The best available studies on injury rates show that about 25 to 30 percent of adult runners become "injured" (based on the above definition) over the course of a year. More serious injuries include those for which the injured person seeks medical care. If only they are considered, injury rates are much lower, perhaps in the range of I percent per year. Little is known about the causes of exercise injuries. One factor that has been linked to injury is the amount of exercise; for example, individuals who run more miles are likelier to be injured than those who run fewer miles. Factors such as age, sex, body type, and experience have not been shown to be associated with risk of injury. It seems logical that structural abnormalities, sudden increases in training intensity, and types of equipment used are likely to be related to injury risk. However, data to support these opinions are not available.

单选题Although Beethoven could sit down and make up music easily, his really great compositions did not come easily at all. They cost him a great deal of hard work. We know how often he rewrote and corrected his work because his notebooks are still kept in museums and libraries. He always found it hard to satisfy himself. When he was 28, the worst difficulty of all came to him. He began to notice a strong humming in his ears. At first he paid little attention, but it grew worse, and at last he consulted doctors. They gave him the worst news any musician can hear: he was gradually going deaf. Beethoven was in despair; he was sure that he was going to die. He went away to the country, to a place called Heiligenstadt, and from there he wrote a long farewell letter to his brothers. In this he told them how depressed and lonely his deafness had made him. "It was impossible for me to ask men to speak louder or shout, for I am deaf," he wrote. "How could I possibly admit an infirmity in the one sense (hearing) which should have been more perfect in me than in others? ...I must live like an exile." He longed to die, and said to death, "Come when you will, I shall meet you bravely." In fact, Beethoven did something braver than dying. He gathered his courage and went on writing music, though he could hear what he wrote only more and more faintly. He wrote his best music, the music we remember him for, after he became deaf. The music he wrote was very different from any that had been composed before. Instead of the elegant and stately music that earlier musicians had written for their wealthy listeners, Beethoven wrote stormy, exciting, revolutionary music, which reminds us of his troubled and courageous life. He grew to admire courage more than anything, and he called one of his symphonies the Eroica or heroic symphony , "to celebrate the memory of a great man". Describing the dramatic opening notes of his famous Fifth Symphony , he said, "thus fate knocks on the door." In time Beethoven went completely deaf, so deaf that he could not hear even the stormiest parts of his exciting music. But in those years he wrote more gloriously than ever. He could "hear" his music with his mind, if not with his ears. His friends had to write down what they wanted to say to him. He was lonely and often unhappy, but in spite of this, he often wrote joyful music. In his last symphony, the Ninth, a choir sings a wonderful hymn of joy. Because of his courage and determination to overcome his terrible disaster, his music has given joy and inspiration to millions of people.

A new poll shows that people believe that computers and the Internet have made life better for Americans, but people also see some dangers in the trend toward computerization. The poll found that the public favors some government protection from cyber-problems (网络问题), but in general people are not especially concerned about issues such as information overload or the never-ending flow of phone calls, faxes and e-mails. A separate survey of children aged 10-17 shows that they have a more positive attitude about computers than adults do, and most have made use of up-to-date technology in their schools. The survey found that enthusiasm for computers and the Internet is found in all income groups, all regions of the country, all races, and most age groups. However, people over 60 and those towards the lower end of the income rank tend to show lower rates of computer ownership and Internet usage. The survey shows that "some kind of gap has been crossed: Computers are part of everyday life for most Americans, and the Internet is close behind."

单选题{{B}}Task 4{{/B}} There was a time in early history of man when the days bad no names! The reason was quite simple: Men had not invented the week. In those days, the only division of times was the month, and there were too many days in the month for each of them to have a separate name. But when men began to build cities, they wanted to have a special day on which to trade, a market day. Sometimes these market day were fixed at every tenth day, sometimes every seventh or every fifth day. The Babylonians decided that it should be every seventh day. On this day they didn't work, but met for trade and religious festivals. The Jews followed their example, and kept every seventh day for religious purposes. In this way the week came into being. The Jews gave each of the seven days a name, but it was really a number after the Sabbath(安息日) day (which Was Saturday). When the Egyptians adopted the seven - day week, they named the days after five planets, the sun and the moon. The Romans used the Egyptian names for their days of the week: the day of the sun, of the moon, of the planet Mars, of Mercury (水星), of Venus (木星), and of Saturn (土星). We get our names for the days not from the Romans but from the Anglo - Saxons, who called most of the days after their own gods.

单选题Everybody has an opinion about telecommuting (远程办公). "It won"t work in most jobs", "It costs too much", "It reduces air pollution", "It helps people balance family and work responsibilities", and "Most people are doing it". In reality, researchers continue to find strong growth and acceptance of telecommuting. Nearly two-thirds of the top 1,000 companies in the world have a telecommuting program, and 92 percent say it reduces cost and improves worker productivity (生产力). The days of everyone commuting to the office five days a week are quickly disappearing. Telecommuting involves a non-traditional work arrangement enabling workers to work at home or elsewhere, some or all of the time. This is not a new, novel, or untested way of working. But is it for you? Telecommuting is not a panacea (万能). Whether you are a manager, or a HR (Human Resources) specialist, there are decisions to make and actions to take before you begin a telecommuting arrangement. Join us for any or all of the following meetings to get answers, information, and resources to develop and carry out a successful telecommuting arrangement. Each meeting offers you an informative presentation followed by the opportunity for a discussion with a panel of "experts" who have made telecommuting work for them.
