She grew up on a farm where she learnt about nature and animals. Rachel loved reading and writing stories when she was young. She even had a story published when she was only ten years old. One of Rachels favorite subjects was oceanology(海洋生物学). Rachel attended college at the Pennsylvania College for Women where she majored in biology. She later got her masters(硕士) degree in zoology from Johns Hopkins University. After graduation, Rachel taught for a while and then got a job at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. At first, she wrote for a weekly radio program that educated people on marine(海洋的) biology. Later, she became a marine biologist and chief editor of publications for the Fish and Wildlife Service. In addition to her work at the Fish and Wildlife Service, Rachel wrote articles for magazines about the ocean. In 1941, she published her first book called Under the Sea Wind. However, her second book, The Sea Around Us, made her famous. The Sea Around Us was published in 1951 and was on the New York Times bestseller list for 39 weeks. With the success of the book, Rachel quit her job at the Fish and Wildlife Service and concentrated on writing full-time. After World War, farmers began to use pesticides (农药) such as DDT on their crops. Rachel was concerned about the effects that large-scale spraying of DDT may have on the health of people as well as the environment. Rachel began to gather research material on pesticides and write a book about the subject. Rachel spent four years gathering research material and writing the book. She named it Silent Spring referring to bird death due to pesticides and the spring being silent without their songs. Published in 1962, the book became very popular and brought the environmental issues of pesticides to the general public.

Since these digital products are so common, is time running out for the 500-year-old watch? According to some consumers, the answer is yes. new Jersey teenager Charlie Wollman says a watch is “an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function.” Many young adults think so and use their smart phones to tell time. it is said that fewer young people wear watches today than ten years ago. As a result, some people say that the watch industry is at a crossroads. However, watchmakers optimistically say that watches redeem popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s. By then, they are willing to spend money on a quality products accuracy. But in recent years, the watch that doesnt just keep good time. Fifty year ago, watchmakers took pride in their products accuracy. But in recent years, the watch industry has changed itself into an accessory(配饰)business. And today, the image a watch conveys has become more important than the time it tells. “Complications” features that go beyond simple timekeepingare an important part of a watchs image. Todays watches offer lots of features that meet almost any personality. These features include compasses, USB drivers, and even other functions that measure the effectiveness of golf swings! Creativity also plays a key role in designing todays watches. For example, Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that dont even look like watches. The companys popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell time. It looks more like a fashionable bracelet than a watch. Whether a watch conveys fashion sense, creative talent or a love of sports, consumers want their watches to stand out. Nowadays, everyone has the same kind of gadget(小玩意)in their bags, so people want to make a statement with whats on their wrists. Will this interest in wrist fashion last? Only time will tell!28.What can we know from the first paragraph?A.As most people see, watches are out of fashion.B.Some people feel that watches have been of no use.C.The watch industry will close down sooner or later.D.There are so many choices of watches for teenagers today.29.According to the passage, what image does a watch convey nowadays?A.It simply tells time.B.It appeals to many teenagers.C.It has many complex function.D.It has an impact on creativity and imagination.30.Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash is mentioned in Paragraph 4 to _.A.show why Shinshoku watches are popularB.advertise Shinshoku watches made by TokyoflashC.tell that todays watches need more imaginationD.make a comparison between watches and bracelets31.What may be the best title for the passage?A.Watches Tell More Than TimeB.Japanese Watches Stand OutC.Watch Industry Is in a Bad SituationD.Watches Are Becoming Less PopularDThat people often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings is a phenomenon known as the First-night, effect. If a person stays in the same room the following night they tend to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigate the origins of this effect. Dr. Sasaki knew the first-night effect probably has something to do with how humans evolved. The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it when performance might be affected the following day. She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining alert enough to avoid predators (捕食者). This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing. To take a closer look, her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the universitys Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Dr. Sasaki found, as expected, the participants slept less well on their first night than they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall. During deep sleep, the participants brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. On the first night only, the left hemispheres (半球) of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as their right hemispheres did. Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night. She worked out that, if the left hemisphere was staying alert to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found.32.What do we learn about Dr. Yuka Sasaki doing her research?A.She found birds and dolphins remain alert while asleep.B.She found birds and dolphins sleep in much the same way.C.She got some idea from previous studies on birds and dolphinsD.She conducted studies on birds and dolphins sleeping patterns.33.What did Dr. Sasaki do when she first did her experiment?A.She monitored the brain activity of participants sleeping in a new environment.B.She recruited (招募) 35 participants from her Department of Psychological Sciences.C.She studied the differences between the two sides of participants brains.D.She tested her findings about birds and dolphins on human subjects.34.What did Dr. Sasaki do when re-running her experiment?A.She analyzed the negative effect of irregular tones on brains.B.She recorded participants adaptation to changed environment.C.She exposed her participants to two different stimuli (刺激物).D.She compared the responses of different participants.35.What did Dr. Sasaki find about the participants in her experiment?A.They tended to enjoy certain tones more than others.B.They tended to recognize irregular beeps as a threat.C.They felt sleepy when exposed to regular beeps.D.They differed in their tolerance of irregular tones第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Hongbao in China While Western kids dream about what Santa will bring them, Chinese kids will be getting their money box ready to receive hongbao.
