Mother Nature Shows Her Strength
Tornadoes(龙卷风)and heavy thunderstorms moved across the Great Lakes
and into Trumbull County on Saturday evening.The storms were dramatic
and dangerous.
George Snyder was driving the fire truck down Route 88 when he
first noticed that a funnel(漏斗状的)cloud was behind him.“I stopped
the truck and watched the funnel cloud.It was about 100 feet off
the ground and I saw it go up and down for a while.It was moving
toward Bradley Road and then suddenly it disappeared.”Snyder said.
Snyder only saw one of the funnel clouds that passed through northeastern
0hio on Saturday.In Trumbull County,a tornado turned trees onto
their sides.Some trees fell onto houses and cars.Other trees fell
into telephone and electrical wires as they went down.
Amanda Sym check was having a party when the storm began.“I knew
something was wrong, ”he said.“I saw the sky go green and pink(粉红色).Then
it sounded like a train rushing toward the house.I started crying
and told everyone to go to the basement for protection.”
The tornado caused a 10t of damage to cars and houses in the area.It
will take a long time and much money to repair everything.There
was also serious water damage from the thunderstorms.The heavy
rains and high wind caused the power to go out in many homes.
The storms caused serious flooding in areas near the river.More
than four inches of rain fell in parts of Trumbull County.The
river was so high that the water ran into streets and houses.
Many streets had to be closed to Cars and trucks because of the
high water.This made it difficult for fire trucks,police Cars,and
other rescue vehicles to help people who were in trouble.
Many people who live near the river had to leave their homes for
their own safety.Some people reported five feet of water in their
homes.Local and state officials opened emergency shelters for
the people who were evacuated(撤走).’The Red Cross served meals
to them.
“This was a really intense storm,”said Snyder.“People were afraid.Mother
Nature can be fierce.We were lucky this time.No one was killed”

1 Joying Brescia was 8 years old when she noticed that cigarette
butts(烟头)were littering her hometown beach in Isle of Palms,South
Carolina.When she learned that it takes five years for the remains
of a cigarette to disintegrate,she decided to take action.Joying
launched a“No Butts on the Beach” campaign.She raised money and
awareness about the need to keep the beaches dean.With the help
of others.Joying also bought or received donations of gallon-size
plastic ice.cream buckets.The buckets were filled with sand。and
placed at a11 public-access areas of the beach.The buckets allowed
people to dispose of their cigarettes before hitting the
beach.Two years later。Joying says the buckets are fun and the
beach is nearly free of cigarette debris(残片).
2 People who 1ive in or visit Steamboat Springs,Colorado.have
Carter Dunham to thank for a new state wildlife refuge that preserves
20 acres of marshland and many species of wildlife.
Carter and other students wrote a management plan for the area
around the Yampa River.The plan was part of a class project when
Carter was a freshman at Steamboat Springs High Schoo1.
Working with the Colorado Division of Wildlife.Carter and his
classmates mapped the area and species of animals living there.They
also made decisions about.among other things。where fences and
parking areas should be built.
3 Barbara Brown and her friends collect oil.It started as a project
for their 4H Club after one of the girls noticed her father using
motor oil to kill weeds on their farm in Victoria。Texas.They did
some research and discovered that oil can contaminate ground water--a
real danger in rural areas.where people live off the water on
their 1and.The girls researched ways to recycle oil and worked
with a local oil-recycling company on the issue.Now.the“Don’t
Be Crude”program runs oil.collection sites--tanks that hold up
to 460 gallons--where people in the community can dispose of their
oil.
4 Five years ago.11-year-old Ryan Hreljac was a little boy with
a big dream:for all the people in Africa to have clean drinking
water.His dream began in the first grade when he 1earned that
people were dying because they didn’t have clean water,and that
as 1ittle as$70 could build a well.“We really take water for granted,”says
Ryan,of Kemptville,Ontario,in Canada.“In other countries.you have
to plan for it.”Ryan earned the first$70 by doing extra chores(零工),but

第一篇
Technology Transfer in Germany
When it comes to translating basic research into industrial success.few
nations can match Germany.Since the 1 940s.the nation’s vast industrial
base has been fed with a constant stream of new ideas and expertise
from science.And though German prosperity(繁荣)has faltered(衰退1
over the past decade because of the huge cost of unifying east
and west as well as the global economic decline,it still has an
enviable(令人羡慕的)record for turning ideas into profit.
Much of the reason for that success is the Fraunhofer Society,a
network of research institutes that exists solely to solve industrial
problems and create sought.after technologies.But today the Fraunhofer
institutes have competition.Universities are taking an ever larger
role in technology transfer,and technology parks are springing
up all over.These efforts are being complemented by the federal
programmes for pumping money into start-up companies.
Such a strategy may sound like a recipe for economic success.but
it is not without its critics.These people worry that favouring
applied research will mean neglecting basic science,eventually
starving industry of flesh ideas.If every scientist starts thinking
like an entrepreneur(企业家),the argument goes,then the traditional
principles of university research being curiosity.driven,flee
and widely available will Suffer.Others claim that many of the
programmes to promote technology transfer are a waste of money
because half the small businesses that are promoted are bound
to go bankrupt within a few years.
Ⅵmile this debate continues.new ideas flow at a steady rate from
Germany’s research networks,which bear famous names such as Helmholtz,Max
Planck and Leibniz.Yet it is the fourth network,the Fraunhofer
Society,that plays the greatest role in technology transfer.
Founded in 1949,the Fraunhofer Society is now Europe’s largest
organisation for applied technology, and has 59 institutes employing
1 2,000 people.It continues to grow.Last year, it Swallowed up
the Heinrich Hertz Institute for Communication Technology in Berlin.Today,there
are even Fraunhofers in the US and Asia.
31 What factor can be attributed to German prosperity?
A Technology transfer.
B Good management
C Hard work.
D Fierce competition
32 Which of the following is NOT true of traditional university
research?
A It is free.
B It is profit—driven.
C It is widely available.
D It is curiosity—driven.
33 The Fraunhofer Society is the largest organisation for applied
technology in
A Asia.
B USA.
C Europe.
D Africa.
34 When was the Fraunhofer Society founded?
A In 1940.
B Last year.
C After the unification.
D In 1949.
35 The word “expertise’’ in line 3 could be best replaced by
A “experts”.
B “scientists”. .
C “scholars”.
D “special knowledge”.

Superconductor Ceramic(陶瓷)
An underground revolution begins this winter.with the flip(轻击)of
a switch,30,000 homes in one part of Detroit will soon become
the first in the country to receive electricity transmitted by
ice.cold high.performance cables.Other American cities are expected
to follow Detroit’s example in the years ahead.which could conserve
enormous amounts of power.
The new electrical cables at the Frisbie power station in Detroit
are revolutionary because they are made of superconductors.A superconductor
is a material that transmits electricity with little or no resistance.Resistance
is the degree to which a substance resists electric current.All
common electrical conductors have a certain amount of electrical
resistance.They convert at least some of the electrical energy
passing through them into waste heat.Superconductors don’t no
one understands how superconductivity works.It just does.
Making superconductors isn’t easy.A superconductor material has
to be cooled to an extremely low temperature to 10se its resistance.The
first superconductors,made more than 50 years ago,had to be cooled
to一263 degrees Celsius before they lost their resistance.Newer
superconducting materials 10se their resistance at一143 degrees
Celsius.
The superconductors cable installed at the Frisbie station is
made of a ceramic material that contains copper.oxygen.bismuth(铋)。strontium(锶).and
calcium(钙).A ceramic is a hard.strong compound made from clay
or minerals.The superconducting ceramic has been fashioned into
a tape that is wrapped lengthwise around a long tube filled with
liquid nitrogen.
Liquid nitrogen is supercold and lowers the temperature of the
ceramic tape to the point where it onveys electricity with zero
resistance.
The United States loses an enormous amount of electricity each
year to resistance.
Because cooled superconductors have no resistance.they waste much
less power.0ther cities are watching the Frisbie experiment in
the hope that they might switch to superconducting cable and conserve
power.too.
36 What is the benefit of the revolution mentioned in the first
paragraph?
A With a flip of swish.electricity can be transmitted.
B Other American cities can benefit from the high·performance
cables.
C Great amounts of power can be conserved.
D Detroit will first receive electricity transmitted by the new
electrical cables
37 Compared to common electrical conductors,superconductors
A have little or no electrical resistance.
B Can be used for along time.
C are not energy-efficient.
D can be made easily.
38 At what temperature does the superconducting ceramic lose its
resistance?
A-143 degree Celsius.
B一263 degree Celsius.
C As long as it is ice-cold.
D Absolute zero.
39 What element enables the ceramic tape to lower its temperature?
A Copper.
B Liquid nitrogen..
C Clay.
D Calcium.
40 According to the last paragraph,which of the following statements
is NOT true?
A Other cities hope they Can also conserve power.
B Other cities hope they Can use superconducting cables soon.
C Superconductors waste less power because of their low resistance.
D The Fribie experiment is not successful.

The Science of the Future
Until recently,the“science of the future”was supposed to be electronics
and artificial intelligence.Today it seems more and more likely
that the next great breakthroughs in
technology will be brought through a combination Of those two
sciences with organic chemistry and genetic engineering.This combination
is the science of biotechnology.
Organic chemistry enables us to produce marvelous synthetic(合成的)materials.However,it
is still difficult to manufacture anything that has the capacity
of wool to conserve heat and also to absorb moisture.Nothing that
we have been able to produce so far comes anywhere near the combination
of strength.1ightness and flexibility that we find in the bodies
of ordinary insects.
Nevertheless.scientists in the laboratory have already succeeded
in“growing”a material that has many of the characteristics of
human skin.The next step may well be“biotech hearts and eyes”which
can replace diseased organs in human beings.These will not be
rejected by the body,as is the case with organs from humans.
The application of biotechnology to energy production seems even
more promising.In 1996 the famous science.fiction writer,Arthur
C.Clarke,many of whose previous predictions have come true。said
that we may soon be able to develop remarkably cheap and renewable
sources of energy.Some of these power sources will be biological.Clarke
and others have warned us repeatedly that sooner or later we will
have to give up our dependence on non-renewable power sources.Coal,oil
and gas are indeed convenient.However,using them also means creating
dangerously high levels of pollution.It will be impossible to
meet the growing demand for energy without increasing that pollution
to catastrophic(灾难性的)levels unless we develop power sources that
are both cheaper and cleaner.
It is attempting to think that biotechnology or some other “science
of the future” can solve our problems.Before we surrender to that
temptation we should remember nuclear power.Only a few generations
ago it seemed to promise limitless,cheap and safe energy.Today
those promises 1ie buried in a concrete grave in a place called
Chernobyl,in the Ukraine.Biotechnology is unlikely.however, to
break its promises in quite the same or such a dangerous way.
41 According to the passage,the science of the future is likely
to be
A electronics.
B biotechnology.
C genetic engineering.
D nuclear technology.
42 Organic chemistry helps to produce materials that are
A as good as w001.
B as good as an insect’s body.
C not as good as natural materials.
D better than natural materials.
43 According to the.passage,it may soon be possible
A to make something as good as human skin.
B to produce drugs without side effects.
C to transplant human organs.
D to make artificial hearts and eyes.
44 In 1996. Arthur C.Clarke predicted that
A biological power sources would be put into use soon.
B oil,gas and coal could be repeatedly used in the future.
C dependence on non—renewable power sources would be reduced soon
D the Chernobyl disaster would happen in two years.
45 What do we learn from the last paragraph?
A Biotechnology can solve all our future energy problems.
B Biological power is cheaper than nuclear power.
C Biological power may not be as dangerous as nuclear power
D Biological power will keep all its promises.

Why Would They Falsely Confess?
Why on earth would an innocent person falsely confess to committing
a crime? To most people,it just doesn’t seem logical.But it is
logical,say experts。if you understand what call happen in a police
interrogation(审讯)room.
Under the right conditions,people’s minds are susceptible(易受影响的)to
influence,and the pressure put on suspects during police questioning
is enormous. (46)“The pressure is important to understand,because
otherwise it's impossible to understand why someone would say
he did something he didn’t do.The answer is:to put all end to
an uncomfortable situation that will continue until he does confess.
Developmental psychologist Mary Redlich recently conducted a laboratory
study to determine how likely people are to confess to things
they didn’t do. (47)the
researchers then intentionally crashed the computers and accused
the participants of hitting “alt” key to see if they would sign
a statement falsely taking responsibility.
Redlich’s findings clearly demonstrate how easy it can be to get
people to falsely 59 percent of the young adults in the experiment
immediately confessed. (48) Of
the 15-to 16-year-olds,72 percent signed confessions,as 13-year-olds.
“There’s no question that young people are more at risk,”says
Saul Kassin,a psychology professor at Williams College,who has
done similar studies with similar . (49) Both Kassin and Redlich
note that the entire ‘‘interrogation” in their experiments consisted
of a simple accusation-not hours of aggressive questioning--and
still,most participants falsely decision.”
(50)“In some ways,”says Kassin,“false confession becomes a rational
A In her experiment,participants were seated at computers and
told not to hit the“alt” key,
because doing So would crash the systems.
B Because of the stress of a police interrogation,they conclude,suspects
can become
convinced that falsely confessing is the easiest way out of a
bad situation.
C “It’s a little like somebody’s working on them with a dental(牙齿)
drill,” says Franklin
Zimring,a law professor at the University of California at Berkeley.
D“But the baseline is that adults are highly vulnerable too.”
E The court found him innocent and he was released.
F Redlich also found that the younger the participant,the more
likely a false confession.

The Greatest Mystery Of Whales The whale is a
warm-blooded,air-breathing animal,giving birth to its young alive,sucking
them--and,like all mammals,originated on land.There are many front
flippers(鳍状肢),used for steering and stability, are traces of feet.(51)of
this.Its Immense strength is——(52)into the great body of the big
whales,and in fact most of a whale’s body is one gigantic muscle.The
blue whale’s pulling strength has been estimated(53)400 horsepower.One
specimen was reported to have towed(拖)a whaling vessel for seven
hours at the (54) of eight knot (节).
An angry whale will (55) A famous example of this
was the fate of Whaler Essex, (56)was sunk off the coast of South
America early in the last century.
More recently, steel ships have (57)their plates

the old-time whaleboats in their jaws and crush Them.
The greatest (58)of whales is their diving ability.The
sperm whale dives to the Bottom for his (59)food,the octopus(章鱼).In
that search he is known to go as far Down as 3,200 feet, where

great change in pressure.Just how he does it scientists have not

is believed that a special kind of oil in his head is some sort
of compensating mechanism that (65)adjusts the internal pressure
of his body.But since you can’t bring a live whale into the laboratory
for study, no one knows just how these things work.
