7、e ground feels solid beneath our feet. That's comforting.But it's also misleading because there's actually a lot going on underground.Masses of land （called plates） slip, slide, and bump against each other, slowly changing the shape of continents and oceans over millions and billions of

8、years.Scientists know that Earth formed about billion years ago. They also know that our planet was hot at first. As it cooled, its outermost layer, called the crust, eventually formed moving plates. Exactly when this shift happened, however, is an open question.Now, an international group of resear

9、chers has an answer. They've found new evidence suggesting that Earth's crust （地壳）started shifting at least billionyears ago. The new estimate is billion years earlier than previous ones.Not long before billion years ago, lots of asteroids （小行星）were pummelingEarth, keeping its crust in a hot

10、, molten state. After the hard crust formed, much of it sank at various times into the planet's hot insides. There, it melted before returning to the surface as lava.In some places, however, the crust never sank. One of the oldest such placesis in Greenland, in an area called the Isua supracrust

11、al（上地壳）belt. The rockycrust there is between and billion years old. The belt was once part of the seafloor, but now it is exposed to air.The researchers recently look at the Isua supracrustal belt. They noticed long, parallel cracks in the rock that have been filled in with a type of volcanic rock.T

12、o explain this structure, the scientists propose that tension in the crust caused the seafloor to crack open long ago. Hot, liquid rock, called magma（岩浆）,flowed up slowly from deep inside Earth to fill the cracks. Finally, the area cooled, forming what we see today.That explanation, plus chemical cl

In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very pop

26、ular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professional worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people m

27、ay suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.On the other hand, why do s

28、ome medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones Signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning （扫描）equipment. In one case, atraveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn'

29、;t remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree.What

30、is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.As the discussion about their s

31、afety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may

32、 have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often31 People buy cell phones for the following reasons EXCEPT thatA they're popularB they're cheapC they're usefulD they're convenient32 The world "detected

36、te College of Agricultural Sciences food scientist. The research indicates that genetic factors influence some of the difference in the levels of salt we like to eat.Those conclusions are important because recent, well-publicized （大力宣传的 ）efforts to reduce the salt content in food have left many peop

37、le struggling to accept fare that simply does not taste as good to them as it does to others, pointed out John Hayes, lead investigator on the study.Diets high in salt can increase the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. That is why public health experts and food companies are working together o

38、n ways to help consumers lower salt intake through foods that are enjoyable to eat. This study increases understanding of salt preference and consumption.The research involved 87 carefully screened participants who sampled salty foods such as soup and chips, on multiple occasions, spread out over we

39、eks. Test subjects were 45 men and 42 women, reportedly healthy, ranging in age from 20 to 40 years. The sample was composed of individuals who were not actively modifying their dietary intake and did not smoke cigarettes. They rated the intensity of taste on a commonly used scientific scale, rangin

40、g from barely detectable to strongest sensation of any kind."Most of us like the taste of salt. However, some individuals eat more salt, both because they like the taste of saltiness more, and because it is needed to block other unpleasant tastes in food," said Hayes. "Supertasters, p

41、eople who experience tastes more tensely, consume more salt than nontasters do. Snack foods have saltiness as their primary flavor, and at least for these foods, more is better, so the supertasters seem to like them more."However, supertasters also need higher levels of salt to block unpleasant

42、 bitter tastes in foods such as cheese, Hayes noted. "For example, cheese is awonderful blend of dairy flavors from fermented （发酵的），milk, but also bittertastes from ripening that are blocked by salt," he said. "A supertaster finds low- salt cheese unpleasant because the bitterness is

43、too pronounced.Hayes cited research done more than 75 years ago by a chemist named Fox and a geneticist named Blakeslee, showing that individuals differ in their ability to taste certain chemicals. As a result, Hayes explained, we know that a wide range in taste acuity exists, and this variation is

44、as normal as variations in eye and hair color.36 John Hayes pointed out that.A food with less salt tastes better.B many people never eat low-salt food.C many people make efforts to accept low-salt food.D it is good to health to eat food without salt.37 The fourth paragraph briefly describesA why the

45、 number of subjects was limited to 87.B why more male subjects were chosen than female ones.C how salty foods were made and distributed to the subjects in the research.D how the subjects were selected and what they were asked to do.38 It is true that.A nontasters like to share salty cheese with supe

46、rtasters.B supertasters like the taste of saltiness to block sweet tastes in food.C nontasters consume more salt because they like intense tastes.D supertasters like snack foods more as they contain higher levels of saltiness.39 Supertasters prefer high-salt cheese because.A it is good to health.B i

47、t tastes less bitter.C it is rich in nutrition.D it has intense bitter tastes.40 It can be inferred from the last paragraph that taste acuity is.A genetically determined.B identified with certain chemicals.C developed over time after birth.D related to one's eye and hair color.第三篇 Calculating Cr

48、imeWhen you think about math, you probably don't think about breaking the law, solving mysteries or finding criminals. But a mathematician in Maryland does, and he has come up with mathematical tools to help police find criminals.People who solve crimes look for patterns that might reveal（揭示）the

49、identity of the criminal. It's long been believed, for example, that criminals will break the law closer to where they live, simply because it's easier to get around in their own neighborhood. If police see a pattern of robberies in a certain area, they may look for a suspect who lives near

50、the crime scenes. So, the farther away from the area a crime takes place, the less likely it is that the same criminal did it.But Mike O'Leary, a mathematician at Towson University in Maryland, says that this kind of approach may be too simple. He says that police may get better cluesto the loca

51、tion of an offender's home base by combining these patterns with a city's layout and historical crime records.The records of past crimes contain geographical information and can reveal easy targets - that is, the kind of stores that might be less difficult to rob. Because these stores are al

52、ong roads, the locations of past crimes contain information about where major streets and intersections (十字路口 ) are. O'Leary iswriting a new computer program that will quickly provide this kind of information for a given city. His program also includes information about the people who live in th

53、e city, and information about how a criminal's patterns change with age.(It's been shown, for example, that the younger the criminal, the closer to home the crime.)Other computer programmers have worked on similar software, but O'Leary's uses more math. The mathematician plans to mak

54、e his computer program available, free of charge, to police departments around the country.The program is just one way to use math to fight crime. O'Leary says that criminology - the study of crime and criminals - contains a lot of good math problems. "I feel like I'm in a gold mine and

55、 I'm the only one who knows what gold looks like," he says. "It's a lot of fun."41 Which of the following statements about math is trueA It is too difficult for the police to use in finding criminals.B Few people associate it with finding criminals.C Some criminals make use of

56、 it when committing crimes.D it has long been employed in solving crimes.42 People tend to think there is a relationship betweenA the time of a crime and the age of the criminal.B the type of a crime and the identity of the criminal.C the pattern of a crime and the equipment of the criminal.D the lo

57、cation of a crime and the residence of the criminal.43 O'Leary includes all the following information in writing his program EXCEPTA the records of past crimes.B the locations of police bureaus.C the people living in the city.D the change of a criminal's patterns with age.44 O'Leary'

58、s program is different from other similar software in thatA it is inexpensive.B it uses more math.C it is more user-friendly.D it is available all over the world.45 It can be inferred from the last paragraph that O'LearyA will develop programs for other governmental departments.B is going to use

59、 math in looking for gold.C thinks it's interesting to learn math.D will further use math in studying crimes and criminals.第5部分：补全短文（第 4650题，每题2分，共10分）下面的短文有5#空白；短文后有6个句子，其中5个取自短文，请根据短文内容将其分别 放回原有位置，以恢复文章原貌。Mt.
