Summer brings flowers and dirt and barbeque smoke. In the most wintery places, there isn’t much outside on cold days except snow, strong wind and cars warming up. Pine needles(松针), wood smoke and snow—these are the smells of winter, and for people who live with different seasons, wintery weather brings its own set of olfactory(嗅觉的) experiences. But why does the cold of winter smell different from the heat of summer? One reason is that odor molecules(气味分子) move much more slowly as the air temperature drops, said Pamela Dalton, an olfactory scientist at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia. That means that there are simply fewer smells to smell on a cold, crisp day than there are on a hot and humid one. It’s the same reason why hot soup smells more than cold soup does and why the garbage truck leaves behind the strongest smells on steamy summer days. What’s more, our noses don’t work quite well when the surrounding air is cold, Dalton said. In experiments that require biopsies(活组织检查) of olfactory receptors that lie deep inside the nose, researchers at Monell have discovered that the receptors “bury themselves a little more deeply in the nose in winter,” she said, “possibly as a protective response against cold, dry air.” “There is a strong psychological factor in our sense of smell,” Alan Hirsch, a neurologist and psychiatrist in Chicago, added, “and what we expect to smell has a big influence on what we actually smell.” In The Invalid’s Story by Mark Twain, for example, a man is stuck on a train next to what he thinks is a rotting(腐烂的) dead body but is actually a box of cheese that smells extremely unpleasant. So strongly affected by the smell, he spends too long looking for fresh air on the freezing platform and develops a fever that ends up killing him. “What you think of a smell will have powerful effects on you whether you like it or whatever you think it to be,” Hirsch said. “So, if you go outside in winter and you are used to smelling snow or nuts in the fire or whatever you happen to smell outside, that’s what you will interpret smells to be.” To cope with lack of smells in winter, many people try to burn more candles with pleasant smells, cook more sweet stews(炖菜)and bake more cookies, which creates a greater contrast between indoor and outdoor environments. “You’re probably fond of indoor smells in winter,” Dalton said. “Doors are closed, and windows are closed. We concentrate on the smells of cooking and living.” 【1】According to the second paragraph, Pamela Dalton will probably agree that ____. A. there are not many smells available to be smelled in winter B. hot soup is more popular with people in winter than cold soup C. garbage truck is easier to break down in cold winter D. air temperature affects the direction in which smells spread greatly 【2】The author used the story written by Mark Twain to show that ______. A. one can easily feel terrible smells in a small space B. no one can survive when there is lack of fresh air C. one’s mind and thoughts can affect his sense of smell D. one’s opinion on smells is quite different from others’ 【3】Which of the following is NOT a measure people take to deal with lack of smells in winter? A. Closing windows. B. Cooking stews. C. Burning candles. D. Baking cookies. 【4】How is the passage organized? (P: Paragraph) A.  B.  C.  D.  |

Light is a complex phenomenon classically explained with a simple model based on rays and wavefronts. Many of the aspects of light have been explored, but few people notice them happening in their real lives. For example, most of us observe some type of optical interference almost daily, but usually don’t realize the events in play behind the ever-changing display of colors produced when light waves interfere with each other. One of the best examples of interference is shown by the light reflected from a film of oil floating on water. Another example is the thin film of a soap bubble, which reflects a series of light with beautiful colors when shined by natural or man-made light sources. Electromagnetic radiation(电磁辐射), the larger family of wave-like phenomena to which visible light belongs, is the primary vehicle transporting energy through the vast reaches of the universe. The means by which visible light is sent out or absorbed, and how it predictably reacts under different conditions as it travels through space and the atmosphere, form the basis of the existence of color in our universe. The human eye is sensitive to a form of electromagnetic radiation that lies in the wavelength range between 400 and 700 nanometers(纳米), commonly known as the visible light spectrum, which is the only source of color. When combined, all of the wavelengths present in visible light form colorless white light. Red, green, and blue colors are classically considered the primary colors because they are fundamental to human vision. Light is observed as white by humans when our eyes are affected by equal amounts of red, green, and blue light at the same time. The concept of color temperature is of great importance in photography and digital imaging, regardless of whether the image capture device is a camera or a microscope. A lack of proper color temperature balance between the microscope light source and the image sensor is the most common reason for unexpected color shifts in photomicrography(显微照相术) and digital imaging. If the color temperature of the light source is too low for the film, photomicrographs will have an overall yellowish or reddish cast and will appear warm. On the other hand, when the color temperature of the light source is too high for the film, photomicrographs will have a blue cast and will appear cool. As problematic as these color shifts may seem, they’re always easily corrected by the proper use of conversion and light balancing filters (滤光器). 【1】Which of the following is right according to the 1st paragraph of the passage? A. Light is classically defined in terms of rays and wavefronts. B. Most of us aren’t explicit about how colors are produced. C. People can understand optical interference by watching films. D. Shined by natural or man-made light sources, films reflect a series of light. 【2】What can we learn about electromagnetic radiation? A. Color originates from it. B. It moves in a straight line. C. Green lights are not part of it. D. Its wavelength can’t be 500 nanometers. 【3】The color shifts on photomicrographs________. A. are difficult to get right once formed B. are caused by the high colors more often C. are caused by the high color temperature of the light source D. prove that how important the color temperature is in imaging 【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Light and color B. Light and imaging C. Light and temperature D. Light and radiation |

Uncle Tom’s Cabin was the best-selling novel of the 19th century, and the second best-selling book of that century, following the Bible. It is credited with helping fuel the abolitionist cause in the 1850s. In the first year after it was published, 300,000 copies of the book were sold in the United States alone. The strength of Uncle Tom’s Cabin is its ability to show slavery’s effect on families. Stowe’s characters freely debated the causes of slavery, the Fugitive Slave Law(逃亡奴隶法), the future of freed people, what an individual could do, and racism. In the 1950s, poet Langston Hughes called the book a “moral battle cry for freedom.” It is said that Abraham Lincoln greeted Harriet Beecher Stowe in 1862 by saying, “So you’re the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war.” Whether the story is true or not, there is some connection between Uncle Tom’s Cabin and the Civil War. The Civil War rose from a mixture of causes including regional conflicts between North and South, economic forces, and concerns for the welfare of slaves. The four-year war almost destroyed the United States. Uncle Tom’s Cabin contributed to the outbreak of the war by personalizing the political and economic arguments about slavery. Uncle Tom’s Cabin helped many 19th-century Americans determine what kind of country they wanted. Immediately after its publication, Uncle Tom’s Cabin was both praised as an achievement and attacked as inaccurate. Liberal abolitionists(废奴主义者) felt the book was not strong enough in its call to immediately end slavery, disliked Stowe’s tacit(暗含的) support of the colonization movement, and suggested that Stowe’s main character Tom was not forceful enough. More moderate anti-slavery advocates and reformers praised the book for putting a human face on those held in slavery, emphasizing the impact slavery had on families, and helping the public understand and empathize with the plight of enslaved mothers. Pro-slavery forces claimed that slavery was approved in the Bible, the Tom was too noble, and accused Stowe of fabricating(捏造) unrealistic, one-sided images of Southern slavery. Stowe responded to her readers by writing The Key to Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Her second anti-slavery novel, Dred: A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp (1856), was much more forceful and called for an immediate end to slavery. During the Civil War, Stowe criticized British businesses that continued to trade with Southern cotton suppliers, and was impatient with President Lincoln’s willingness to put off freeing people held in slavery. Uncle Tom’s Cabin made Stowe an international celebrity. When she traveled to Britain in 1853 to secure copyright protection for her novel Dred, she was rushed excitedly by crowds on the streets and invited by nobility to their estates. She was presented with a 26 volume leather bound petition signed by British women living all over the world, including the Duchess of Sutherland, the Countess of Shaftsbury, and bakers’ wives, begging their American sisters to immediately abolish slavery. Stowe was invited to anti-slavery rallies(集会), where she hid behind Victorian propriety and had her husband or her brother present comments on her behalf. Queen Victoria was eager to meet the famous author, but was urged by advisors not to receive such a controversial figure. Instead, as Stowe’s sister Mary related in a letter, the Queen arranged to pass Stowe’s carriage on the road, so the two women could silently nod to each other. Stowe’s three European tours brought her similar acclaim. She was welcomed by ex-patriot American writers in Italy with whom she established long-term friendships. The power of her celebrity and influence made other social reform groups appeal for her support. 【1】All of the following are correct according to the passage EXCEPT________. A. Next to the Bible, Uncle Tom’s Cabin was the best-selling book of the 19th century B. The success of Uncle Tom’s Cabin lay in the great effect slavery had on families. C. The author Stowe at one time gained some celebrities’ credit for Uncle Tom’s Cabin. D. The outbreak of the Civil War was mainly caused by the book Uncle Tom’s Cabin. 【2】Paragraph 4 is mainly developed by________. A. offering quotations B. making classifications C. analyzing causes and effects D. following the order of importance 【3】We can infer from the passage that________. A. Uncle Tom’s Cabin was both praised and attacked B. Uncle Tom’s Cabin really relates to the Civil War C. Queen Victoria somewhat admired Stowe D. Stowe was impatient with Lincoln’s abolishing slavery 【4】Which of the following are the correct orders of the events below? a. The Civil War broke out. b. The book Uncle Tom’s Cabin was published. c. Stowe criticized British businesses for continuing to trade with Southern cotton suppliers. d. Stowe put out her second anti-slavery book. A. a-d-b-c B. b-a-c-d C. b-d-a-c D. a-b-c-d 【5】The last three paragraphs are mainly about________. A. Americans’ increased awareness of the need to abolish slavery B. an introduction to Harriet Beecher Stowe’s second novel Dred C. the legend of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s special meeting with Queen Victoria D. the influence and popularity of Harriet Beecher Stowe and Uncle Tom’s Cabin |

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。 Research shows that the summer before college can be a dangerous time for teenagers, as they are between home and high school on the one side, and a more challenging and independent existence as a college student on the other． Take drinking for example．Research has reported that teenagers tend to increase their alcohol use during the summer before college and in their first term．Such drinking can lead to tragedy: it’s estimated that more than 1,100 college students at 18 to 24 years of age die each year from alcohol-related injuries, including car crashes, and almost 600, 000 are injured under the influence of alcohol. In addition to drinking, future freshmen may also have gaps in their knowledge about other aspects of university life．A study has found that students are “generally aware” of the fact that they have to place them into college courses and their school’s curricular requirements．In addition, many students hold misunderstandings such as “Getting into college is the hardest part”, and “I can take whatever classes I want when I get to college”．In fact, students’ courses may be determined by their level of preparation． It is found that college-bound high-school graduates are faced with a number of potentially frightening tasks during the summer．For example, colleges typically require students to take placement tests（分班考试）and fill out a lot of paperwork, including housing and medical forms, over the summer．Completing these tasks may be especially frightening for low-income and first-generation college-bound students whose families may be short of experience with the college-going process． In addition, it’s only in the summer after high-school graduation when students face the reality of paying the first college bill, which often includes unexpected costs like required health insurance．For college-intending students, successfully controlling the post-high-school summer thus requires a level of finance that may be unrelated to their ability to succeed in the classroom．As a result, students who have already broken through many barriers to college admission may fail to enter college． Paring college-bound students with “fellow advisers”---students already in college who have been trained to support and coach their learners through the summer---improves the rate at which the learners show up at college．Even more wonderful, a low-cost campaign of text messages---in which researchers sent recent high-school graduates and their parents a series of eight to ten text-message reminders of key tasks to complete over the summer---is just as effective in increasing the rate of students who successfully make the change to college． A little “summer pushing” could be a key step in getting students all the way across the finish line．
