So, I decided to try my hand at online auction (网上拍卖) . Buying for beginners : Sign up on www. ebay. co. uk .Most items (e. g. tables , computers ,

16、 and books ) ready for auction will come with a picture and a shart description ; others may be marked with “Buy It Now” and have a fixed price . You can buy these right away .If the item is being auctioned , you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids (出价) for you . The bid wi

17、ll be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid , then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again . Auctions last up to 10 days and when they finish you get an email telling you whether you have won the item .How to pay : Sellers decide how they would like to be

18、paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a cheque or postal orders .

19、picture of the item . I followed my friends advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction , starting on a Thursday .

23、s more likely to be overweight themselves .The findings add heat to an already fierce political debate (争论) over childhood obesity. The Prime Minister , John Howard , last week decided that $ 116 million be used for programs to deal with obesity , while the Opposition Leader , Mark Latham , recently

24、 announced that his party would move to protect children from healthy food advertisments .Clare Collins , a senior lecturer at the University of Newcastle , believes such programs will definitely fail unless they influence the way of life of whole families . “If we cant get parents to take action ag

25、ainst their own weight problems , then we cant expecl to influence their kids ,” she said .However , Professor Louise Baur from the Childrens Hospital at Westmead , doubts whether adult education programs offer any solution to weight problems . “Many parents know they need to lose weight and they kn

26、ow it influences there kids , but they lack the willpower to do anything about it .”The 10-year study of 50 American children found two-thirds of children with overweight parents became overweight . Only one in six children whose parents were of average weight became overweight .The president of the

27、 Australasian Society for the Study of Obesity , Associate Professor Gary Wittert , said parents needed help in doing their job and the Opposition Partys policy (政策) might be on the right track .“We know that driving without a seat belt is unsafe , so we make law against it,” he said , “Obesity is a

28、 major public health concern , so why shouldnt we change the law regarding unhealthy food ads ?”39What does the underlined phrase “juvenile obesity” mean ?AAdult education .BChildhood overweight CParents influenceDGrowing pains .40What is TRUE about the programs supported by the Prime Minister ?ADeb

40、 to happiness Deagerness to nervousness DThe scene in the Hollywood movie The Day After Tomorrow , where global warning could soonturn the global climate (气候) into a new ice age . may never occur , according to new research .The next ice age could be 15,000 years away , say European scientists who l

41、ast month announced a continuous record of 740,000 years of climate data (数据) obtained from the Antarctic ice .Scientists from 10 nations have now almost completely drilled through a 3,000-meter depth of ice high in the Antarctic mainland . They figure out that the area where summer temperatures can

42、 fall to40, has at least 900,000 years of snowfalls , kept as neatly as the growth rings of a tree . And the ice and air caught in each layer（层）have begun to answer questions about the climates in the past .The results show that there have been eight ice ages in the past 740,000 years and eight warm

43、er periods . And by comparing the pattern of global conditions today with those of the past , the researchers reported in Nature that the present warm period could last another 15,000 years .Research suggests that there is a very close connection between greenhouse gas levels and global average temp

44、eratures . It also shows that carbon dioxide (二氧化碳)levels are the highest for at least 440,000 years .“If people say to you : the greenhouse effect is a good thing because we would go into an ice age otherwise , our data say no , a new ice age is not hanging over our heads ,” said Erie Wolff from th

45、e British Antarctic Survey . “Now we have eight examples of how the climate goes in and out of ice ages and you can learn what the rules are that go into the climate models that tell us about the future .”Seientists found that whenever temperatures rose in the frozen record , so did carbon dioxide l

46、evel .” In 440,000 years we have never seen greenhouse gas get as thick as it is today,” said Dr Wolff .48In drilling through the ice in Antarctica , scientists have found that .Athe lowest temperature there is 40Bthe depth of ice is 3,000 meters Cthe ice has existed for 15,000 years Dsnowfalls are

47、kept in certain patterns 49The information of the global climate conditions in the past can be obtained through .Aseparating carbon dioxide from the air Bexamining the growth rings of trees Ccomparing temperatures in different areas Dstudying the ice and air caught in each layer 50We can infer from

48、Eric Wolffs words that .Athere is something wrong with the data Bgreenhouse effect is always a bad thing Ca new ice age will not come in the near future Dgreenhouse gas will get thick in the future 51What would be the best title for the passage ?AResearch over the Antarctic area .BWarm period to las

49、t about 15,000 years .CReport on the eight ice ages in the past .DHollywood movies and the global climate .ENo one can fail to stand in awed (令人敬畏的) admiration of the great discoveries of history Newtons laws of motion , Keplers pinciple of planetary movement , Einsteins general theory of relativity

50、 . Equally awe-inspirine are artistic creations in painting , theatre , music , and literature , which have also been brought about by discovery ,through personal efforts . What do these extraordinary achievements well-known scientists and artists have to do with problem solving ?A great scientific

51、discovery or a great work of art is surely the result of problem-solving activity . The solution to a problem , we are told , often comes to thinkers in a “flash of insight (顿悟)” , although they may have been turning the problem over in their minds for some time . As a particular form of problem sol

52、ving , these creative acts are based on the broad knowledge gained in the past , whether this be of the “public” sort known to science , or of the “private” sort known to the artist .Many creative thinkers state that they have completely devoted themselves to the subject matter of the problem , ofte

53、n over fairly long periods of time . Indeed , it would be strange if they had not done this .Nothing in such statements supports the idea that there is anything very different about the problem solving that leads to discoveries of the that contributions to the society . The act of discovery , even i

54、n the relatively predictable (可以预见的) sense that it occurs in everyday learning , involves (涉及)a “sudden insight” which changes the problem situation into a solution situation .As we have seen , everyday discovery also requires that the learner have the knowledge of the rules gained in the past , whi

55、ch is involved in the solution .52Newton , Kepler and Einstein are mentioned in the first paragraph to .Abring about the subject of the discussion Bexplain that scientists are more creative Cshow the difference between science and arts Dprove that arts require more personal efforts 53While knowledge

56、 from the past plays an important role in their achievements , thinkers sometimes also depend on their .Aartistic tastes Bsudden insight Cadmiration of discoveries Dscientific experiments 54What does the underlined word this refer to ?AGreat contributions to the society BLong-time study of the subject matter .CVarious statements about problem solving DComplete devotion to artistic creation 55We may co
