my favorite search engine knows everything about every subject i am interested in and i can access all of the information available on the web with my favorite search engine.” “oh, yes!” we answer. “indeed! we have no doubt that you have chosen the best search engine for your own search purposes! we dont want you to part with your favorite yahoo, msn or google.” however, what if you think about searching in a different way. have you ever raked through the paper card index of a big library? you have to find the necessary letter (or their combination), take the correct drawer, and start sorting through the cards. ring any bells? after much time and effort, finally you find the long-awaited card! of course web search engines take away the laborious task of sifting (筛选) through paper index cards. and if you know the books exact author and title, either search is easy on the web or in a library. but what if you know only your general search scope? neither the authors name nor the book title. in a library, the only way out is to ask a librarian. but on the web, what do you do? you are on your own. until now, quintura is the very know-all librarian! imagine a conversation between you and the search engine you use most often, my favorite search engine (mfse). you: i need some books on physics. mfse: no problem. we have a lot of good literature. you: oh. . . so many of them! mfse: you asked for books on physics, here, ive found some more. you: no, i need only one branch of physics. mfse: but i have all the branches! thousands of books. choose whatever you want. you: but i need the branch on solid movement: acceleration, friction and so on. mfse: here they are. books on physics. . . now imagine beginning the same conversation with quintura (qu). you: i need some books on physics. qu: ok! we have a lot of good literature; what branch of physics do you need? you: branch? im not sure of its name. qu: what is your branch about? you: solid movement: acceleration, friction and so on. qu: lets see. here is mechanics! please note this list of books, our visitors mostly ask for these books on mechanics. you: thank you. 1. quintura is the name of. a. a web search engineb. a well-known websitec. a big library d. a librarian2. what is the purpose of the writers talking about the paper card index of a big library? a. to tell us how to find your book in a big library. b. to remind you of your school life. c. to advise you to think about searching in a different way. d. to prove the paper card index is worse than web search engines. 3. in the writers opinion, if you know only your general search scope youd better use. a. quintura b. yahooc. msn d. mfse4. from the two conversations we can learn. a. mfse can provide you with more books than quinturab. mfse always offers you some useless informationc. quintura can help you find what you are searching for more quickly than mfsed. quintura can offer you more information than mfse【参考答案】5.acac较难题目特训：科普知识类-6there are plenty of good reasons to buy organic products, but nutrition may not be one of them, suggests a new study, which found no difference in antioxidant (抗氧化剂) levels between organically and conventionally (常规地) grown onions, carrots, and potatoes. the study only looked at three types of vegetables and just a few select nutrients. but the experiment was part of a bigger project that was so systematic and strictly controlled that the findings likely apply to other crops, too. “giving preference to organic products because they contain more bioactive components is doubtful and not supported by scientific evidence,” knuthsen said. “still, there are many good reasons for the consumer to select organic food products, including absence of pesticide residues (农药残留) in foods, animal welfare, and environmental protections.”argument over whether organic produce is more nutritious than conventional varieties has been around for at least a decade, said jeffrey blumberg, director of the antioxidants research laboratory at tufts university in boston. “some studies have suggested that organically grown plants contain higher levels of healthful antioxidants, possibly because some antioxidants act as natural fungicides (杀真菌剂), pesticides and insecticides,” he said. “the idea is that, without help from industrial chemicals, plants on organic farms need to work harder to protect themselves. they end up becoming more nutritious as a result.” but plenty of other studies have shown no such relationship. “i understand that organic farmers would love to be able to say that theirs are super-fruits and super-vegetables because there are higher amounts of these compounds in them,” blumberg said. “if you want to buy them because you think theyre safer for the planet to grow things that way, or because you think pesticides are bad for you or your family, or you like that they come from a shorter distance away, thats great.”“but if you want to buy them because theyre more nutritious, youre confused, and we dont know if thats true or not.”1. the new study proves that. a. there are plenty of good reasons to buy organic produceb. nutrition is one of the good reasons to buy organic producec. some organically and conventionally grown foods have the same antioxidant levelsd. organic produce is harmful to our health2. why do people prefer organic products? a. because they think organic products have no bioactive components. b. because scientific evidence supports organic products can make them stronger. c. because its proved that organic produce is more nutritious than conventional varieties. d. because they think organic food products have no harmful things. 3. the fourth paragraph mainly tells us. a. its unclear whether organic produce is more nutritious than conventional varietiesb. organically grown plants contain higher levels of healthful antioxidantsc. plants on organic farms need to work harder to protect themselvesd. plenty of other studies have shown no such relationship4. which is not the reason for you to buy organic products according to blumberg? a. there are higher amounts of these compounds in them. b. theyre safer for the planet to grow things that way. c. pesticides are bad for you or your family. d. they are more nutritious. 【参考答案】6.cdad阅读理解-dtwo recent studies have found that punishment is not the best way to influence behavior. one showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards. researchers at harvard university in the united states did the study. they had about 200 college students play a game known as the prisoners dilemma. the game is based on the tension between the interests of an individual and a group.the students played in groups of four. each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain equally. but each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players, at a cost to the punisher.harvard researcher david rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation. the groups that rewarded it the most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded it the least.and the more a group punished itself, the lower its earnings. the group with the most punishment earned 25% less than the group with the least punishment.the other study involved children. researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups. more than 800 children were ages two to four the first time they were tested. more than 700 children were ages five to nine.the two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test. both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not.the study says the iqs - or intelligence quotients - of the younger children who were not spanked（掴）were five points higher than those who were. in the older group, the difference was almost three points.murray strauss from the university of new hampshire has written extensively about physical punishment of children. he says the more they are spanked, the slower their mental development. he also looked at average iqs in other nations and found them lower where spanking was more common.67. which of the
