7、als in that dining room were 37 for four generations to become one.

17、rk that still have no electricity 17 days after the deadly super-storm Sandy. Mr Obama took a helicopter tour of Breezy Point, a neighborhood in Queens where about 100 homes were razed in a fire during the storm. He also met residents at an emergency response centre in Staten Island. More than 100 p

18、eople were killed in the US as a result of Sandy, 43 of them in New York. The US president also met privately with Damien and Glenda Moore, whose two sons were swept away in the storm. "Obviously I expressed to them as a father, as a parent, my heartbreak over what they went through," he s

19、aid. He said the family wanted to thank the New York City police officer, Lt Kevin Gallagher, who stayed with them until their childrens bodies were found. One man whose home in Staten Island was destroyed by Sandy was thankful for Mr Obamas visit, but thought he should have come earlier."If he

20、 could do something to make this process with the government a little faster and easier on us, that would be a great thing," said Anthony Gatti, who said he had queued all day every day to speak with emergency officials. Mr Obama visited parts of New Jersey in the immediate after the storm, avo

21、iding New York City so as not to prevent recovery efforts. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who joined Mr Obama on Thursday, said he would request $30bn (£19bn) in federal aid in order to rebuild. That price tag included the construction of a power grid meant to help utilities find and fix outag

22、es, as well as an upgrade to New York Citys fuel supply capacity. Fuel shortages after the storm led to lengthy queues and petrol rationing.56. How did the man whose home was destroyed in the storm feel when visited?A. Excited but nervous. B. Scared but appreciated.C. Thankful but sorrowful. D. Appr

23、eciated but regretful.57. What can we learn from the passage?A. New York would request £30bn to rebuild.B. New York suffered a lot from super storm Sandy.C. Mr. Obama visited New York Government.D. Mr. Obama showed heart break in New York Government.58. What is the main idea of this passage? A.

24、 Obama toured Sandy-hit New York. B. Obama expressed the warm heart to Damien and Glenda Moore.C. New York was faced with fuel shortage after the storm.D. New York Governor showed great ambition after the storm.BThroughout history, technology has provided artists with new tools for expression. Now,

25、technology is increasingly becoming a fundamental force in the development of art.I had my first experience with the internet in the early 1990s. I used our 300-baud modem, allowed it to begin its R2-D2-like hissing and whistling, and began to telnet(远程登录). A window on our Macintoshs screen began fi

26、lling with text and announced our connection to the computers at the local university. After exploring a series of text menus, I began my first download: a text document containing Platos The Republic, via Project Gutenberg. After what felt like a significant chapter of an hour, I was fascinated. I

27、can distinctly remember jumping up and down, celebrating that I had this entire book on our computer using nothing but phone lines and a lot of dull beeping.It took me almost a decade to actually get around to reading The Republic. By the time I did, the conception that I expressed wonder at such a

28、mundane activity as downloading a text document seemed strange. In 2012, people stream movies onto their computers nightly without praising the modem gods. We have gone from the days of early web pages, with their splendid backgrounds and blinking text, to slick interactive sites with enough bells a

29、nd whistles to make the entire experience smooth and multimedia based. No one thinks any longer about modems or the details of bandwidth speeds. And certainly no one uses the word baud anymore.The changes havent ended there. To store data, I have used floppy disks, diskettes, zip discs, rewritable C

30、Ds, flash drives, burnable DVDs, even the Commodore Datasette. Now, I save many of my documents to storage thats available anytime I have access to the internet: the cloud.The technological revolution were currently experiencing is not a one-off, technology has been changing over the centuries. But

31、whats surprising is that if you look below the surface you discover that this progress is not random, it almost always follows a pattern. And understanding this pattern helps us to appreciate far more than faster download speeds or improved data storage. It helps us to understand something fundament

32、al to our success as a species. It helps us to understand how our knowledge changes and evolves.59. How did the author feel when he first downloaded a text document?A. Frightened. B. Ambitious. C. Desperate. D. Excited.60. What can be indicated from the fourth paragraph?A. Data storage has many diff

33、erent ways. B. Data storage is an unavoidable method now.C. Data storage experienced a thorough revolution.D. Data storage develops from floppy disks to internet: the cloud.61. What does the author mean in the last paragraph?A. Technological revolution develops randomly.B. Technological revolution d

34、evelops with great storage.C. Technological revolution develops far more than speed.D. Technological revolution develops with a surprising force.62. What is the best title for this passage?A. My experience in internet revolution. B. Internet revolution gives us a big surprise.C. Internet revolution

35、becomes a force in art. D. My download and data storage from the internet.CWhy are medical dramas so popular? Why are we so fascinated by medical dramas? From the high drama of Casualty and ER to the squeamish reality of Embarrassing Bodies and One Born Every Minute, it is hard to look away. Books w

36、ith a medical or health theme are equally popular on best-selling lists. When it comes to how our bodies function and malfunction, we are hooked. Without doubt, medical science is a rich source of stories. The popularity of all forms of medical-based drama suggests that we love to watch and read abo

37、ut people dealing with pain and discomfort, facing problems we fear we might face too at some point in our lives. Prof George Ikkos, president of the Royal Society of Medicines psychiatry section, says it is more to do with learning about ourselves from other people. The integrity of our body is ext

38、remely important. We should be concerned about our own body and that lies at the heart of it. Programmes like Casualty are dramatic and excitingthey involve a lot of ordinary people we can relate to directly. "Its not like watching something about nuclear physics or stamp collecting." Prof

39、 Ikkos says: "Well-informed programmes can be helpful but people engage at different levels, from the highbrow to the lowbrow, depending on how people relate to what they are watching." There is, of course, no research to confirm whether these dramas improve our understanding of medical ma

40、tters or change our knowledge of health issues. Some fly-on-the-wall medical shows may simply be a popular form of voyeurism(窥探者). "But they do give information that is helpful. I would not want to discourage them," Prof Ikkos adds. The themes of health, medicine and science are also at th

41、e heart of many works of popular fiction and non-fiction. Best-selling novels such as Before I Go To Sleep by SJ Watson and Me Before You by Jojo Moyes tackle the subjects of long-term memory loss and life as a paraplegic(高位截瘫的人). Thomas Wright, whose new book Circulationa biography of the 17th Cent

42、ury physician William Harveywon the Wellcome Trust Book Prize this week, does not need to be convinced about the power of medical history. He was attracted to the story behind Harveys discovery that the heart was the principal organ of the body, pumping blood through veins and arteries with an incre

43、dible force. During an experiment, Wright says, Harvey cut the aorta(主动脉) of an animal and the blood dashed out with such force and quantity that it splattered the room. "It was so shocking to people who thought blood flowed slowly around the body. Its an image that stayed in my mind."That

44、 dramatic scene opens Wrights book and he returns to it at the end too. Back then, people did not have much faith in physicians and many did not believe that medicine would be able to help or cure them, if they could afford to go to them in the first place. As a result, Harvey had a tough time convi

45、ncing people of his theories.Wright says how we view doctors and their methods has changed greatly since then and that could explain the popularity of medical dramas."Now we look to doctors and scientists for answerswe hope that they can overcome illness and death. We put them on a pedestal. Ju

46、st the act of going to a doctor makes me feel better, but that builds expectations and pressure too."Wright hopes his book will appeal to the same audience who watch the blood-stained medical dramas on TV.63. People like to watch and read medical drama because_.A. they want to form of medical-b

47、ased drama B. they want to read a rich source of stories.C. they want to deal with pain and discomfortD. they might face the similar situation in their life64. According to prof Ikkos, which statement is right?A. We can cure ourselves from dramas.B. Pro Ikkos will improve medical drama show.C. Diffe

48、rent people can learn from the medical dramas.D. There is no specific research to confirm medical matters.65. Harveys experiment of cutting the aorta tells us_. A. the heart was the principal organ of the body B. the heart in the animal can press the blood dashC. in the 17th century, medical knowled

49、ge was convincedD. in the 17th century, animal was used in medical operation66. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?A. B. C. D. CP: central Point P: Point SP: Sun-point (次要点) C: ConslusionDUrban grasshoppers change their tune for females grasshopperGrasshoppers that live in noi

50、sy urban environments are having to change their song, a study has found.Researchers suggest that high levels of background noise may affect the grasshoppers mating process. They say the insects are forced to increase the volume of the low-frequency sections of their call. Results of the study, by s

51、cientists from the University of Bielefeld, Germany, are published in the journal Functional Ecology. The research, which shows traffic noise could upset bow-winged grasshoppers (Chorthippus biguttulus) mating system, is the first of its kind, according to lead researcher Ulrike Lampe. "Effects

52、 of man-made noise on communication has only been studied with vertebrates(脊椎动物), so far," said Ms Lampe, a PhD student at the University of Bielefelds Department of Evolutionary Biology. The scientists caught 188 male bow-winged grasshoppers from noisy roadsides and quiet rural locations.Accor

53、ding to Ms Lampe: "Bow-winged grasshoppers are a good model organism to study sexual selection because females can respond to male loving songs with their own low-frequency signal, if they are attracted to a male song." The grasshoppers produce their mating call by rubbing a toothed file o

54、n their hind-legs against a vein that is located on their front wings. The males song consists of short phrases of two to three seconds. The first part of the call consists of slower ticking sounds that increase in speed, leading to a buzzing sound towards the end of the phrase.In order to stimulate

55、 the males to begin mating calls, scientists exposed the males to a female and recorded the results in the laboratory. The team then analysed the differences between the results of each group of grasshoppers. “Results showed that compared to males from rural locations, urban grasshoppers shift the f

56、requency peak of the lower part of their spectrum(频谱) upwards," Ms Lampe explained. This would make sense to avoid low-frequency noise, as traffic noise could mask signals in that part of the frequency spectrum. The teams findings demonstrate that traffic noise could be upsetting the grasshoppers mating system."Increased noise levels could affect grasshopper courtship in several ways," commented Ms Lampe. "It could prevent females from hearing male loving songs properly, prevent females fro
