Cosmetic Surgery
Surgery that can improve the way a person looks is becoming more and more popular in the United States. This kind of surgery is called cosmetic surgery, and both men and women are turning to this treatment as a way of keeping their appearance young as well as keeping competitive (有竞争力的) in their jobs. Men especially are beginning to turn to face-lifts ( 面部拉皮手术), liposuction (taking fat out of the body), and implants (putting artificial parts into their bodies ) to help them look younger. As companies downsize (缩编) and move younger employees into higher positions, older employees in their late forties and early fifties feel the need to look and act younger in order to stay competitivE．These operations are not without dangers, however. One young woman had an eye operation to get rid of the bags under her eyes. She described her experience as terriblE．She said, "When he started cutting, I was fully awakE．Even though he'd given me an injection near my eyes, I saw everything. " She went on to explain, "I knew I had to keep still because of what he was doing. He was scraping (刮) away fat underneath my eyes. It took about ten minutes. After he finished, I felt I couldn't walk. I was so faint. " Her troubles did not end after the operation for two weeks. Her eyes were swollen ( 肿胀的 ) and almost completely closed, and even dark glasses could not hide the side effects of the operation. Liposuction, taking fat out of the body, is probably the most popular cosmetic operation in the United States. It seems simple enough. First, a small cut is made over the place where the patient wants the fat removeD．Next, a small pipe is put into the cut. A machine like a vacuum cleaner is then used to suck the fat out of the body. However, as one doctor explained, some problems call happen after the operation. He warned, "Irregular lumps and loose skin can reset from this operation. If it is not evenly done, liposuction can produce a very lumpy result. " Patients often must have more liposuction to correct the problem.

20、 The eye operation was such a failure that the woman refused to pay for it. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
21、 Not everyone is a good candidate for liposuction. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
22、 Sometimes liposuction patients may have to undergo more than one operation. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned 第3部分：概括大意和完成句子(第23～30题，每题1分，共8分) 下面的短文后有2项测试任务：(1)第23～26题要求从所给的6个选项中为指定段落每段选择个小标题；(2)第27～30题要求从所给的6个选项中为每个句子确定一个选项。 23、 根据下列材料，回答23-30题
Cloning (克隆) : Future Perfect?
1. A clone is all exact copy of a plant or animal produced from any one cell. Since Scottish scientists reported that they had managed to clone a sheep named Dolly in 1997, research into cloning has grown rapidly. In May 1998, scientists in Massachusetts managed to create two identical calves (牛犊 ) using cloning technology. A mouse has also been cloned successfully. But the debate over cloning humans really started when Chicago physicist Richard Seed made a surprising announcement: "We will have managed to clone a human being within the next two years," he told the world. 2. Seed's announcement provoked a lot of media attention, most of it negative．In Europe, nineteen nations have already signed an agreement banning human cloning and in the US the President announced, "We will be introducing a law to ban all human cloning and many states in the US will have passed anti-cloning laws by the end of the year. 3. Many researchers are not so negative about cloning, they are worded that laws banning human cloning will threaten important research. In March, The New England Journal of Medicine called any plan to ban research on cloning humans seriously mistaken. Many researchers also believe that in spite of attempts to ban it, human cloning will have become routine by 2010 because it is impossible to .stop the progress of science. 4. Is there reason to fear that cloning will lead to a nightmare world? The public has been bombarded (轰炸 ) with newspaper articles, television shows and films, as well cartoons. Such information is often misleading, and makes people wonder what on earth the scientists will be doing next. Within the next five to ten years scientists will probably have found a way of cloning humans. It could be that pretty soon we will be able to choose the person that we want our child to look like．But how would it feel to be a clone among hundreds, the anti-cloners ask. Pretty cool, answer the pro-cloners (赞成克隆的人).

A Phone That Knows You're Busy
It's a modem problem: you're too busy to be disturbed by incessant (连续不断的) phone calls so you turn your cell phone off．But if you don't remember to turn it back on when you're less busy. You could miss some important calls if only the phone knew when it was wise to interrupt you, you wouldn't have to turn it off at all. Instead, it could let calls through when you are not too busy. A bunch of behavior sensors (传感器) and a clever piece of software could do just that, by analyzing your behavior to determine if it's a good time to interrupt you. If built into a phone, the system may decide you're too busy and ask the caller to leave a message or ring back later. James Fogarty and Scott Hudson at Camegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania based their system oil tiny microphones, cameras and touch sensors that reveal body language and activity. First they had to study different behaviors to find out which ones strongly predict whether your mind is interrupted. The potential "busyness" signals they focused on included whether the office doors were left open or closed, the time of day, if other people were with the person in question, how close they were to each other, and whether or not the computer was in use. The sensors monitored these and many other factors while four subjects were at work. At random intervals, the subjects rated how interruptible they were on a scale ranging from "highly interruptible" to "highly not-interruptible". Their ratings were then correlated with the various behaviors . "It is a shotgun (随意的) approach: we used all the indicators we could think of and then let statistics find out which were important, " says Hudson. The model showed that using the keyboard, and talking on a landline or to someone else in the office correlated most strongly with how interruptible the subjects judged themselves to be. Interestingly, the computer was actually better than people at predicting when someone was too busy to be interrupted．The computer got it right 82 per cent of the time, humans 77 per cent. Fogarty speculates that this might be because people doing the interrupting are inevitably biased towards delivering their message, whereas computers don't care. The first application for Hudson and Fogarty's system is likely to be in an instant messaging system, followed by office phones and cellphones. "There is no technological roadblock (障碍) to it being deployed in a couple of years, " says Hudson.
A big problem facing people today is that________. A．they must tolerate phone disturbances or miss important calls. B．they must turn off their phones to keep their homes quiet. C．they have to switch from a desktop phone to a cell phone. D．they are too busy to make phone calls.
37、 The behavior sensor and software system built in a phone________. A．could help store messages B．could send messages instantly C．could tell when it is wise to interrupt you D．could identify important phone calls

Effects of Environmental Pollution
If pollution continues to increase at the present rate, formation of aerosols (浮质) in the atmosphere will cause the onset (开始) of an ice age in about fifty years' time． This conclusion, reached by Dr. S.I. Rasool and Dr. S.H. Schneider of the United States Goddard Space Flight Centre, answers the apparently conflicting questions of whether an increase in the carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) content of the atmosphere will cause the Earth to warm up or increasing the aerosol content will cause it to cool down. The Americans have shown conclusively that the aerosol question is dominant. Two specters haunting conservationists have been the prospect that environmental pollution might lead to the planet's becoming unbearably hot or cold．One of these ghosts has now been laid．Because it seems that even an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to eight times its present value will produce an increase in temperature of only 2 ℃, which would take place over several thousand years. But the other problem now looms larger than ever. Aerosols are collections of small liquid or solid particles dispersed in air or some other medium. The particles are all so tiny that each is composed of only a few hundred atoms. Because of this they can float in the air for a very long time． Perhaps the most commonly experienced aerosol is industrial smog (烟雾) of the kind that plagued London in the 1950s and is an even greater problem in Los Angeles today. These collections of aerosols reflect the Sun's heat and thereby cause the Earth to cool. Dr. Rasool and Dr. Schneider have calculated the exact effect of a dust aerosol layer just above the Earth's surface in the temperature of the planet. As the layer builds up, the present delicate balance between the amount of heat absorbed from the Sun and the amount radiated from the Earth is disturbed．The aerosol layer not only reflects much of the Sun's light but also transmits the infrared (红外线的 ) radiation from below. So, while the heat input to the surface drops, the loss of heat remains high until the planet cools to a new balanced state. Within fifty years, if no steps are taken to stop the spread of aerosols in the atmosphere, a cooling of the Earth by as much as 3.5~C seems inevitable．If that lasts for only a few years it would start another ice age, and because the growing ice caps at each pole would themselves reflect much of the Sun's radiation it would probably continue to develop even if the aerosol layer were destroyed. The only bright spot in this gloomy forecast lies in the hope expressed by Dr. Rasool and Dr. Schneider that nuclear power may replace fossil fuels in time to prevent the aerosol content of the atmosphere from becoming critical.
The author's main purpose in writing the article is to warn of________. A．warm weather B．hot weather C．a new ice age D．a new iceberg
42、 The word "specters" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to________. A．pollution. B．carbon dioxide C．aerosols D．ghosts

44、 What will happen if the dust aerosol layer develops? A．The Earth will get extremely hot. B．The balance between the amount of heat absorbed from the Sun and the amount lost could hardly be maintained. C．The light of the Sun could no longer reach the surface of the Earth. D．Infrared radiation could no longer be transmitted from the Earth to outer space.
45、 The only way to stop the spread of aerosols in the atmosphere, according to Dr. Rasool and Dr. Schneider, is to use________. A．fossil fuels B．electric power C．nuclear energy D．coal power 第5部分：补全短文(第46～50题，每题2分，共10分) 下面的短文有5处空白，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，以恢复文章面貌。 46、 根据下列材料，回答46-50题
Virtual Driver
Driving involves sharp eyes and keen ears, analyzing with a brain, and coordination between hands, feet and brain. A man has sharp eyes and keen ears, analyzes through his brain, and maintains coordination (协调) between his hands and brains. He can control a fast-moving car with different parts of his body. 46 Apparently there isn't anyone in the driver's cab (驾驶室), but there is in fact a virtual driver. This virtual driver has eyes, brains, hands and feet too. The minicameras on each side of the car are its eyes and are responsible for observing the road conditions ahead of it as well as the traffic to its left and right. If you open the boot (行李箱), you can see the most important part of the automatic driving system: a built-in computer. 47 The brain of the car is responsible for calculating the speeds objects surrounding the car are moving at, analyzing their position on the road, choosing the right path, and giving orders to the wheel and the control system. In comparison with the human brain, the virtual driver's best advantage is that it reacts quickly. 48 However, it takes the world's best racecar driver at least one second to react, and this doesn't include the time he needs to take action. With its rapid reaction and accurate control, the virtual driver can reduce the accident rate on expressways considerably. In this case, is it possible for us to let it drive at any time and in any place? 49 With its limited ability to recognize things, the car can now only travel on expressways. The intelligent car determines its direction by the clear lines that mark the lanes clearly and recognizes vehicles according to their regular shapes. 50 This being the case, people still have high hopes about driverless cars, and think highly intelligent cars are what the cars of the future should be like.
________________ A．Experts say that we cannot do that just yet. B．In the near future, intelligent cars will be put into commercial operation. C．This is the brain of the car. D．But how does an intelligent car control itself ? E．It completes the processing of the images sent by the cameras within 100 milliseconds. F．However, it cannot recognize moving people and bicycles on ordinary roads that have no clear markings on them.

Young Adults Who Exercise Get Higher IQ Scores
Young adults who are fit have a higher IQ and are more likely to go on to university, reveals a major new study 51 out at the Sahlgrenska Academy and Sahlgrenska University Hospital. The results were recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). The study 52 1.2 million Swedish men doing military service who were born between 1950 and 1976. The research group analyses the 53 of both physical and IQ tests the youngsters took right after they started serving the army. The study shows a clear link 54 good physical fitness and better results for the IQ test. The strongest links are for 55 thinking and verbal comprehension. But it is only fitness that plays a 56 in the results for the IQ test, and not strength. " Being fit means that you also have good heart and lung 57 and that your brain gets plenty of oxygen," says Michael Nilsson, professor at the Sahlgrenska Academy and chief physician at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital. "This may be one of the reasons why we can see a clear link with fitness, but not with muscular 58 We are also seeing that there are growth factors that are important. " By analyzing data for twins, the researchers have been 59 to determine that it is primarily environmental factors and not genes that 60 the link between fitness and a higher IQ. "We have also shown that those youngsters who 61 their physical fitness between the ages of 15 and 18 increase their cognitive performance," says Maria Aberg, researcher at the Sahlgrenska Academy and physician at Aby health centre．"This being the case, physical education is a 62 that has an important place in schools, and is an absolute must 63 we want to do well in maths and other theoretical subjects. " The researchers have also compared the results from fitness tests during national service 64 the socio-economic status of the men later in life．Those who were fit at 18 were more 65 to go into higher education, and many secured more qualified jobs.
