person.语篇解读饲养宠物可能被传染疾病。猴痘本是非洲雨林中的一种疾病，现在突然出现在美国西部的孩子们的身上。我们认为的大多数只有人类才会感染的疾病其实就是来自动物。国家要制定严格的法律，控制外来动物把疾病传播给人类。1we learn from paragraph 1 that the pet sold at the shop may _.a. come from columbiab.

paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder. the littleheadline said: boxerreceives liff sentence.frank cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty of the murder of albertcumming, aged 32, laborer, last july. the jury (陪审团) reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most severe punishment to the court. it was, said the judge, a simple case. cumming and cleary had quarreled violently at the harbour hotel on july 23rd and police saw cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious cumming.when arrested, cleary was drunk but clear-thinking.cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. asked if he had anything to say, cleary answered, “just dont tell my mother.”“it happened over three years ago,” paddy said

everyone feel that the pain was there.“it would kill him to see me. i know him so wellhis pride, his ambition. let him bear the shame alone, its what he wants.weve got to help him keep his secret.what good will it do him to see us?”paddy was still weeping, not for frank, but for the life which had gone from fees face, for the dying in her eyes. frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between fee and himself.he was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children.every time it looked as if there might be happiness for fee, frank took it

jones and ask him to look out for frank?” the eyes didnt liven, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks. “yes, paddy, do that.only make sure he knows not to tell frank we found out. perhaps it would

temperature taken from 3,000 feet awaystraight up. a decade ago, adapting the infrared (红外线) scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist stephen paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. the goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide (杀虫剂) spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that dont have pest problems.even better, paleys remote scanning services company could detect crop problems be- fore they became visible to the eye. mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. the data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running “fevers”. farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.the bad news is that paleys company closed down in l984, after only three years. farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find. but with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, paley hopes to get back into operation. agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. this technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the united states, says george oerther of texas a & m. ray jackson, who recently retired from the department of agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. but only if paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.41.

area43. farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by .a. resorting to spot-spraying b. consulting infrared scanning experts c. transforming poisoned rain d. detecting crop problems at an early date44. the application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties due to a. the lack of official support b. its high cost c. the lack of financial support d. its failure to help increase production44. infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of .a. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produceb. growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on cropsc. the forceful promotion by the department of agricultured. full support from agricultural experts参考答案 41-45 c d ac b *结束read the following reviews for

way.several weeks ago，i was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines.i kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he should concentrate better. he sat but seconds later, as if he didnt even notice he was doing it, he got up again.i was getting frustrated, but then it hit me.i started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up.could he be more intent while standing up? this made me start questioning myself and what i had been raised to believe. i was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success.this child would have the discipline to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of dna and personality traits，and all you can do is loving and accepting the
