　　阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri(MU)researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.

　　“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density (密度),” said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. “The radioisotope (放射性同位素)battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries.”

　　Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro/nanoelectromechanical systems(M/NEMS). Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe.

　　“People hear the word‘nuclear’and think of something very dangerous, “ he said. “However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems. “

　　His new idea is not only in the battery’s size, but also in its semiconductor (半导体). Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.

　　“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure (晶格结构) of the solid semiconductor. “ Kwon said. “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”

　　Together with J. David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery. In the future, they hope to increase the battery’s power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. Kwon said that the battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.

　　1. Which of the following is true of Jae Kwon?

　　A. He teaches chemistry at MU.

　　B. He developed a chemical battery.

　　C. He is working on a nuclear energy source.

　　D. He made a breakthrough in computer engineering.

　　2. Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4 　.　

　　A. to show chemical batteries are widely applied

　　B. to indicate nuclear batteries can be safely used

　　C. to describe a nuclear-powered system

　　D. to introduce various energy sources

　　3. Liquid semiconductor is used to 　.　

　　A. get rid of the radioactive waste

　　B. test the power of nuclear batteries

　　C. decrease the size of nuclear batteries

　　D. reduce the damage to lattice structure

　　4. According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery 　.　

　　A. uses a solid semiconductor

　　B. will soon replace the present ones

　　C. could be extremely thin

　　D. has passed the final test

　　5. The text is most probably a 　.　

　　A. science news reportB. book review

　　C. newspaper ad D. science fiction story

　　“I didn't hear them call my name，” explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. “Are you ready？”is what she heard.Then she said，“I shook my head no，and then they said ‘yes’and it was announced again.”

　　It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen­year­old high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana­she was still on_cloud_nine.

　　“I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen. ”Present in the audience (观众) that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.

　　Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there，AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete (比赛). “She's always been my role model. I've danced with her since I was six. She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her.”

　　One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the rough days. She said, “I write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot，a lot...”

　　As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens (青少年) about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving，in addition to many other things to help the youth.

　　When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, “Don't let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way，it is easy to be yourself.”

　　人生要经历许多苦难，但不管怎样都要勇敢面对，不能让任何人改变你自己。

　　The United States has always been a country of many cultures. Before Europeans came to North America, many groups of Native Americans lived here. Different Native American groups had different cultures. The first Europeans in the United States were from England and Holland, but immigrants came from all European countries. Many people also immigrated from Asia and Africa. Sadly, many Africans were brought to the United States as slaves. Many immigrants come from Latin America too. Today, the United States has people from more cultures than ever.

　　In the 19th century, people spoke of the United States as a “melting pot.” People thought that all immigrates should forget their native cultures and languages and become English-speaking Americans. They felt that people should assimilate - join American culture. However, not everyone wanted to assimilate completely. Many people tried to keep parts of their cultures, such as foods, customs, and languages. However, their children often forgot their parents’ or grandparents’ language. But most Americans, even those whose families have been here a long time, can tell the countries their relatives came from. And of course, new immigrants take great pride in their curare and language.

　　For all of these reasons, melting pot is no longer a good way to describe the United States. Instead, people now call the United States a “salad bowl.” They say salad bowl because in a salad, you can still see all of the individual parts (lettuce, tomato, and so on), but all the different parts mixed together and begin to take on the flavor of one another.

　　8. Which of the following is the key information the writer wants to tell us in the first paragraph?

　　A. There used to be many groups of Native Americans.

　　B. Englishmen were among the first to settle in America.

　　C. Asians and Africans also immigrated to America.

　　D. USA today is made up of people from across the world.

　　9. The “melting pot” ___________.

　　A. is an accurate way to describe the United States

　　B. is a place where people from different cultures should assimilate completely

　　C. cannot accurately reflect the reality in the United States

　　D. cannot be replaced by the “salad bowl”

　　10. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A. Many immigrates to the United States try to keep some of their culture.

　　B. Immigrates are encouraged to use English wherever they go in the USA.

　　C. Children of early immigrates can speak English as well as their parents’ native language.

　　D. New immigrants want to live in their own culture and language.

　　11. The “salad bowl” reflects the fact that immigrates to the United States ____________.

　　A. help each other

　　B. assimilate only partially

　　C. take great pride in their culture and language

　　D. remain independent

　　【参考答案8--11】DCAB

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

　　Expecting good things can make you healthier and might even lengthen your life, says researcher Suzaane Segerstrom, PhD, author of Breaking Murphy’s Law. Segerstrom is coauthor of a recent review of studies on the benefits of a positive attitude---and has experienced them herself. We asked her about optimism’s principles and payoffs.

　　l) Feeling well helps when you’re not well.

　　“When researchers look at people who have similar medical conditions, they can predict who’s likely to live longer: the one who feels his health is better. There’s something about that feeling of wellness that’s important, even--maybe especially--if you’re ill. Optimism also seems to help buffer (减缓) you against stress. I’ve been studying first-year law students for 16 years. That’s a very stressed group, but in my most recent study, each time a student’s optimism increased one point on a five-point scale, his immune (免疫性的) response to an injected virus or yeast improved by 20 percent.”

　　2) Optimism is something you do.

　　“Anxiety and other negative emotions are known to be detri-mental to the body, especially to your cardiovascular and immune systems (心血管和免疫系统), and having an optimistic nature seems to protect against those effects.

　　In addition, research shows that people who axe optimistic about their future behave differently. They exercise more, are less likely to smoke, and follow a better diet. And if they get sick, they’re more likely to actively participate in their treatment. I’ve seen that myself--I have back pain from arthritis, but I think my willingness to do whatever it takes has helped a lot.”

　　3) Not happy? Don’t worry.

　　“Happiness is a feeling; optimism is a belief that aspects of your future will turn out well. Happiness can fluctuate (波动) a lot, but an optimistic disposition (性格) is usually pretty stable. If you’re not optimistic, you can try creating a ‘positive events’ log. Good filings happen to everyone, but pessimists often don’t take notice; spending a few minutes every day writing about at least three positive things may help you expect them more often. Or instead of trying to be optimistic, do what optimists do: Work hard to reach your goals. Each accomplishment should make it easier to be hopeful about the next one.”

　　12. The main finding of the study done by 8uzanae Segerstrom is ________.

　　A. people will benefit from their positive attitudes towards life

　　B. anyone who feels his health is better lives longer

　　C. people who are optimistic about their future behave differently

　　D. happiness usually results in a bright future

　　13. What conclusion did Suzanne Segerstrom draw from her studies on her fast-year law students?

　　A. The better medical care they enjoy, the longer they will live.

　　B. The younger they arc, the stronger they will be.

　　C. The more optimistic they am, the less likely they will get ill.

　　D. The better they feel, the more rapidly they will recover from illness.

　　14. We learn from the passage that optimistic people __________.

　　A. are easy to give up smoking

　　B. are willing to do whatever they are asked

　　C. take an active part in all aspects

　　D. tend to have a better life style

　　15. What are you advised to do according to the passage?

　　A. Take exercise as much as you can.

　　B. Keep a daily note of positive things.

　　C. Work hard and play hard.

　　D. Make your goals easy to reach.
