28、 Group have developed genetically engineered fruit trees that produce real meat!Fruit from the new Meat Tree, developed by British scientists using the gene technology, is closely like ordinary grape-fruit. But when you cut the fruit open, inside is fresh beef!"Our trees may sound like somethin

29、g out of a science fiction movie, but it's really true," declares Dr. Vincent, director of the UMA Group, which created the amazing trees."Vegetarians have been complaining for years that in spite of their firm belief against eating meat, they still desire the taste of meat once in a w

30、hile. Now they can have their cake and eat in too."Although it's taken 12 years to develop the trees, the idea is simple. "We take the genes from cattle and put them into cells of grape-fruit trees," Dr.Vincent says. "When the seeds grow into trees, they produce meat instead

31、of ordinary fruit. You get the taste-even the smell."Those who've tried the meat agree it tastes like the real thing. "I was a bit unwilling to believe at first when I sank my teeth into a hamburger after they told me it grew on a tree," says Londoner Mark, who took part in a tast

32、e-test. "But it was juicy and delicious-nothing leafy about it at all."Meat Tree products could be on the market in Great Britain by the end of the year and on dinner plates in the U.S. by 2006. Some vegetarians insist they should never eat meat-even if it grew on a tree. Others love the i

33、dea. "My mouth is watering already," says a devoted vegetarian of 20 years.56. According to what Dr. Vincent said, we know that _.A. vegetarians like to make a cake and enjoy it laterB. the idea of Meat Trees came from a science fiction movieC. vegetarians can eat meat from the new treesD.

In paragraph 5, the author took Mark for example to _ .A. show he is one of the devoted vegetariansB. prove the real taste of fruit from Meat TreesC. tell how a vegetarian eats the new fruitD. to explain how the taste-test is given58. By

35、 writing this passage, the author wants to _.A. show how gene technology developsB. encourage people to eat fruit from Meat TreesC. explain how hard to develop meat treesD. tell readers good news about meat from treesBIt is hard to track the blue whale, the ocean's largest creature, which has al

36、most been killed off by commercial whaling and is now listed as an endangered animal. Attaching radio devices to it is difficult, and visual (视觉的) sightings are too unreliable to give real insight into its behavior .So biologists were delighted early this year when, with the help of the Navy, they w

37、ere able to track a particular blue whale for 43 days, monitoring its sounds. This was possible because of the Navy's formerly top-secret system of underwater listening devices covering the oceans.Tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world just opening to civilian(平民的) scientist

38、s after the cold war as the Navy starts to share and partly uncover its global network of underwater listening system built over the many years to track the ships of potential enemies.Geologists announced at a news conference recently that they had used the system for closely monitoring a deep-sea v

39、olcanic eruption for the first time and that they plan similar studies.Other scientists have suggested using the network for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes in ocean and global temperatures.The speed of sound in water is roughly one mile a second -slower than through land but faster th

40、an through air.What is most important, different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds, focusing them in the same way a stethoscope does when it carries faint noises from a patient's chest to a doctor's ear. This focusing is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in

41、the ocean, especially low frequency ones,can often travel thousands of miles.59.The passage is chiefly about _.A. the uncovering of a military (军事的) top-secret deviceB. a new way to look into the behavior of blue whalesC. the civilian use of a military detection systemD. an effort to protect an enda

42、ngered sea animal60. The underwater listening system was originally designed_.A. to monitor deep-sea volcanic eruptionsB. to search for and locate enemy shipsC. to study the movement of ocean currentsD. to replace the global radio communications network61.

43、. opinions differ about whether military technology should be allowed for civilian useB. new radio devices should be developed for tracking the endangered animalsC. blue whales are no longer endangered with the new listening systemD. military technology has great potential in civilian use62. Which o

44、f the following is true about the U.S. Navy underwater listening network?A. It is now partly accessible to civilian scientists .B. It has been replaced by a more advanced system.C. It became useless to the military after the cold war.D. It is so necessary to protecting endangered animals.C"Penn

45、 Station," I told the cab driver and got in. The young, heavy-set man looked friendly and we naturally started a conversation, which went from the weather and quickly varied into the struggles of a cab driver's life."What do you do besides your job?" he asked curiously. "I he

46、lp a nonprofit organization trying to bring some goodness in the world," I responded. "Do they pay you well?" "Well, no, but I get by. I don't have many material things in life, but I've realized that I don't need all that to keep me happy. If I die tomorrow, I want t

47、o go out knowing that I've made a few people smile."The young cab driver, perhaps in his late thirties, looked back through the sliding glass as if extending his hand for a hand shake-"Man, it is nice to meet you." Although we were strangers, both of us felt deeply connected as hu

48、man beings. And by now, 7 minutes into our ride, we were on a first-name basis. He even spelled his name for me: H-a-k-e-e-m.Hakeem and I talked a bit about simple acts of generosity, the power of a pay-it-for-ward mindset and how that can promote trust and connection in our communities. He understo

49、od the idea, but it seemed very abstract and foreign to him.We arrived at Penn Station and traded e-mail addresses after I paid my ride fare. As I was heading out, I turn to him and said, "Hakeem, here's a 20. Whenever you feel like it, you give a ride to people and tell them that someone b

50、efore them has paid for their fare. See what happens."Hearing this, Hakeem was visibly moved. "Really? Are you sure?"63. The phrase "get by" in Paragraph Two probably means "_".A. receive some profits by helping the organizationB. receive no profit by helping the o

51、rganizationC. gain some fame by helping the organizationD. gain some happiness by helping the organization64. From the description that Hakeem looked back through the sliding glass, the author expects to indicate that _.A. Hakeem was inspired by his wordsB. Hakeem didn't believe what he had said

52、C. Hakeem was carefully driving while talking with the authorD. Hakeem felt a little tired and wanted to shake his hand65. Hakeem understood the idea of a pay-it-forward act_.A. as soon as the author had told him about itB. after the author set an example to himC. after he made some further explanat

53、ionsD. after he saw a scene of it acted out66. We can learn from the passage that the author's goal of an act of kindness was_.A. to help people in trouble     B. to strengthen friendship among friendsC. to make people happy       D. to contribut

54、e to people's trust and connectionDTo a large degree, the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment. Regardless of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you are-always!We a

55、llow past problems and future concerns to control our present moments so much that we end up anxious, frustrated, depressed, and hopeless. We often convince ourselves future will be better than today. John Lennon once said, "Life is what's happening while we're busy making other plans.&

56、quot; "When we're busy making other plans", our children are busy growing up, the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss out on life.Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal for some l

57、ater date. It isn't. In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control over. When our attention is in the present moment, we push fear from our minds. Fear is the concern over events that might happen in

58、 the future-we won't have enough money, our children will get into trouble, we will get ole and die, whatever.To struggle against fear, the best strategy is to bring your attention back to the present. Mark Twain said, "I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actu

59、ally happened." I don't think I can say it any better. Practice keeping your attention on the here and now and your efforts will pay off.67. The purpose of the passage is to tell readers_.A. people who are busy making plans are living activelyB. how to help others overcome fearC. we ought t

60、o learn to live in the present momentD. someone who only enjoys the present time usually wastes his time blindly68. It implies from the passage that _.A. many people know how to fight against fearB. it isn't necessary to fear for futureC. you can gain more happiness by putting off your pleasureD

61、. some people make plans for their children to improve their lives69. "Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal" suggests that_.A. they always wish to be an actor or an actressB. they believe that their present life is well prepared for their futureC. they are always busy making

62、plans for futureD. they all have a guarantee that they will be alive tomorrow70. Why are some people depressed and anxious day and night?A. Because they fear they cannot pass their tests.B. Because past problems and future concerns control their present momentC. Because the people they love want to

63、leave them aloneD. Because they make some mistakes in the pastEWhat cause traffic jams? That's easy: too many cars. No, wrong. Think again. What causes much of the jamming on our streets are traffic lights.Think of all the hours in your life wasted as your car journey is stopped by lights to let

64、 non-existent traffic through, and then ask yourself this: who is the better judge of when it's safe to go-you, the driver at the time and the place, or lights programmed by an absent regulator(控制器)? Traffic lights exist as a "cure" for a man-made problem-the priority rule(优先通行法则). This rule gives superior rights on main-road traffic at the expense of minor-road traffic and pedestrians. To interrupt the priority streams, lights are "needed".Before 1929 when the priority rule came into force, a sort of first-come, first-served rule had been common. All
