26、Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll have no trouble answering these questions.

Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child’s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的) to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.

The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they’d felt cold water at first.

Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a "ruby-crowned kinglet" and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.

The pressures of "time" and "destination" are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. "Oh, a few birds," they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.

Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.

28、Directions: In the article, 4 sentences have been removed choose the most suitable ones from the list A-AC to fit into each of the numbered gaps. There’re 2 which do not fit in any of the gaps.

In the 1993 film Jurassic park, several species of dinosaurs have been brought back to life using DNA millions of years old. The dinosaurs are placed in an animal theme park as a tourist attraction. However, when a group of scientists arrives for a visit, the dinosaurs escape and attack them. After many scary encounters, only a few of the visitors remain alive.

The story is of course fiction, but it reflects recent advances in genetic engineering which are getting ever closer to reality. 【1】. The animals on this possible comeback list include the woolly mammoth, an elephant—like creature that wandered the plains of Siberia: the moa, a giant flightless bird from New Zealand; the thylacine, a dog-like hunter also known as the Tasmanian tiger because of the dark stripes down its back; and the bucardo, a mountain goat from Spain.

These animals had very little in common and in most cases lived eras apart. The woolly mamoth, for example, died many thousands of years ago while the bucardo became extinct only around the year 2000. But, all these species lived at the same time as humans, and humans have been largely responsible for their destruction. 【2】.

Many difficulties will remain before it is possible to revive an extinct species by the methods scientists have so far worked out. In fact, scientists believe that because of all the problems, species revival will never happen. 【3】. While it is theoretically possible to preserve genetic material for thousands of years under ideal conditions, these conditions are very hard to find in real life.

And there is a final, ethical consideration. Even if we learn how to reproduce an example of an extinct species, that individual could never have a normal life. Its natural environment is most likely gone, and it would have no parents to show it how to behave as a member of its species. So it would remain a curiosity, and probably live out its life in a zoo. 【4】.

A.So it seems somehow fitting that we are now thinking of reviving them.

B.One of the major challenges is to obtain enough high-quality DNA from an extinct species to conduct an experiment.

C.Whether it is feasible to revive an extinct species, one thing is for sure; it will be very long before we see the outcome.

D.At this point no one really suggests bringing back dinosaurs, but there are a number of serious proposals to revive extinct species.

E.People question whether it would be ethical to revive one of nature’s creatures for such a purpose.

F.Scientists have proposed reviving an extinct species through a combination of biology and technology.

29、Ralph Waldo Emerson was born on May 25, 1803 in Boston, Massachusetts and died from a lung disease on April 27, 1882. Although he was in poor health for most of his adult life, he still created numerous literary works which he later turned into essays. One of his greatest and most influential works was an essay called “Nature”. He also wrote poetry and was a well-known poet in America.

Emerson was a well-educated individual, but some of his ideas were considered to be quite radical (激进的) at the time. In September 1836, Emerson founded the Transcendental Club. He believed in things like self-reliance and individualism. These things were very hard for people to understand at the time. But for Emerson, it was simply an extension of the bigger picture. He had always challenged long-standing beliefs about everything and had always been a front runner when it came to change.

Besides “Nature”, he wrote essays such as “Self-Reliance” and “Circles”. He finished these works by writing as lectures. He was a skilled public speaker, so he would prepare these more like speeches and later edited them to make them read better for the general public. During his early career, he spent most of his time writing essays. But as his health declined, he was forced to change his lifestyle, and began writing some poetry.

Many of his essays and poetry are still popular today, which proves his success as a writer as well as a philosophical thinker. As a result, his works have become something that almost everyone has to read. In reality, he was a progressive thinker that led a number of people into a completely different way of thinking during the 19th century. He just happened to be a gifted writer and put many of his thoughts down on paper so people can still read them today.

【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

A．To show us numerous famous literary works.

B．To give us a brief introduction of Emerson.

C．To explain how to create influential poetry to us.

D．To tell us the news about the death of Emerson.

【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A．Emerson didn’t agree with the conventional beliefs.

B．The Club was very hard for people to understand.

C．A well-educated individual shouldn’t be quite radical.

D．Self-reliance and individualism were popular at that time.

【3】Why did Emerson change his lifestyle to write poetry?

A．His health was in a poor condition.

B．His essay was difficult to understand.

C．He was quite radical in his later time.

D．He wanted to challenge long-standing beliefs.

【4】What can we infer from the text?

A．Emerson’s works are not popular now.

B．Emerson was a pioneer when it came to change.

C．Emerson wrote many speeches of high quality later.

D．In general, Emerson was a traditional thinker and writer.

34、根据句意填空

In the USA, the Amish-a Christian group-are famous because they drive 【1】 instead of cars, do not use TVs or refrigerators, and do not have personal telephones. Many people assume the Amish must have 【2】 reasons for their many rules, but this is not true. In truth, whenever a new technology is introduced, the Amish meet and discuss its advantages and disadvantages. They then vote on whether they will accept it. The Amish 【3】 cars because they like having 【4】 communities where everyone lives close together. They have no TVs or refrigerators because their homes do not have electricity-they do not think it is necessary and 【5】 dealing with strangers, such as the people who work at the electric company.

35、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Driving an electric car 【1】 to the protection of environment, or so the marketing departments of their makers would have you believe. Yet a report which analyzes car emissions presents a rather different picture. A battery-powered car recharged with 【2】 generated by coal-fired power stations, it found, is likely to be more harmful. It could cause more than three times as many deaths from pollution as a 【3】 petrol-driven vehicle.

The study was carried out by the University of Minnesota. The researchers estimated how levels of fine particulate matter (细颗粒物) and ground-level ozone — two important 【4】 of air pollution — would change when a car is powered by different ways.

It was no surprise that electric cars whose batteries were recharged with power from wind, solar or hydro-electric sources came out to be virtually free from harmful 【5】. They were estimated to cause 231 deaths over the course of a year, compared with 878 for petrol cars. Electric cars recharged with power from natural gas-fired stations were also a lot less harmful than petrol-driven ones, with 439 deaths. But if those same electric cars were recharged 【6】 by coal, they would be responsible for over 3,000 deaths.

Biofuels also caused more health problems than petrol. But diesel, which often  【7】 concern about pollution, is slightly cleaner than petrol. This is because the study assumes for all cars that emission-control technologies will be more widely used, especially particulate filters which have a remarkable effect on cleaning diesel 【8】. Diesel cars are also more 【9】 of fuel than petrol-driven ones.

Overall, the study shows that electric cars are cleaner than those traditional vehicles only if the power used to charge then is also clean. That is hardly a surprise, but the 【10】 of the difference is. How green electric cars really are, then, will depend mainly on where they are driven. In France, which obtains more than half of its power from nuclear station, electric cars look like a good bet. In China and some other developing countries, where a large amount of electricity is produced from coal, they may not be so environment- friendly as they are marketed.

36、Directions: Complete the following sentences by using the proper form of the words or expressions given in the frame. Each one can only be used once.

Why your Password May Not Be As Safe As It Seems?  Does “qaz2ws” strike you as a nice safe password? What about “adgjmptw”? An analysis has found them to be among the passwords that are most 【1】 used, which of course means they are not secure at all.

When ten million passwords were leaked on to the internet，they appeared to 【2】that attempts by internet security experts to make us improve our password strength had been successful, even if, in the specific case of the leaked passwords, they are also completely pointless.

While many of the passwords were still single words, such as “password”，there was also a clear attempt by many to make them harder to【3】. The problem was that people seemed to do so in the same way.

“Users are becoming slightly more 【4】what makes a password strong,” explained WP Engine, an internet company that performed the analysis. “For instance, adding a number or two at the end of a text phrase. That makes it better, right?”

But 【5】no. They found that almost half a million passwords did this and in 20 percent of those all people did was put the number “1” at the end.

Perhaps this is why some companies are now trying to move gradually beyond passwords. Yahoo! is giving users the option to 【6】 their mobile phone with an account, having a single use passwords texted to it each time they want to log on.
