get their first taste of tobacco until the mid-16th century, when adventurers and diplomats like Frances Jean Nicotfor whom nicotine is namedbegan to popularize its use Tobacco was introduced to France in 1556, Portugal in 1558, Spain in 1559, and England in 1565The first successful commercial crop was cultivated in Virginia in 1612 by Englishman John Rolfe Within seven years, it was the colonys largest export Over the next two centuries, the growth of tobacco as a cash crop fueled the demand in North America for slave laborAt first, tobacco was produced mainly for pipe-smoking, chewing, and snuff Cigars didnt become popular until the early 1800s Cigarettes, which had been around in crude form since the early 1600s, didnt become widely popular in the United States until after the Civil War, with the spread of “Bright” tobacco, a uniquely cured yellow leaf grown in Virginia and North Carolina Cigarette sales surged（急剧上升） again with the introduction of the “White Burley” tobacco leaf and the invention of the first practical cigarette-making machine, sponsored by tobacco baron James Buchanan “Buck” Duke, in the late 1880sThe negative health effects of tobacco were not initially known; in fact, most early European physicians subscribed to the Native American belief that tobacco can be an effective medicineBy the early 20th century, with the growth in cigarette smoking, articles addressing the health effects of smoking began to appear in scientific and medical journals56. What does the underlined word “fueled” in Paragraph 3 mean?A IncreasedB MetC DecreasedD Affected57According to the first paragraph, what did the Native Americans use the tobacco for?A Economic purposesB Medical purposesC Ceremonial purposesD Both B and C58Which of the following is NOT the reason for the popularity of the cigarette?A The first practical invention of cigarette making machineB

more attention to the negative effects of smoking by the early 20th centuryC There are lots of articles promoting the cigarettes sales by the early 20th centuryD Smoking will be sure to result in cancerBChina began reforming college admissions in 2003 Since that time, in addition to the national college entrance examination reforms, the country has allowed some universities to set their own test papers In this way, they are able to enroll students independently But students have to go to many provinces where the universities are located to sit the examsHowever, things will change soon In 2010, five universitiesShanghai Jiaotong University, University of Science and Technology of China, Xian Jiaotong University, Nanjing University and Tsinghua Universitywill join hands to make the free university enrollment program easier The five universities joint（联合的）exams will be held at exam sites in most of Chinas provinces and regions This means that most students will just need to take the exams in their home provinceEach candidate（考生）will be able to apply for two of the five universities If the application fails, a student will then be able to apply to a third university If the application is successful, a student still has to take the national college entrance exam, but he or she will be given extra points in the examThe exam will be made up of written exams and an interview The written exams will have tow sectionsthe “General Exam” and the “Special Exam” In a number of subjects, including Chinese, math, English, natural sciences （for students of science）, and liberal arts（人文）（for liberal arts students） the general exam section will be the same In the Special Exam, each university will have its own exam questions Some universities Special Exam sections will take place at the same time as the General Exam, while others will take place together with the interviewIn the joint exams, total points will not be the only criteria for college entrance Those who excel in a particular subject will have the opportunity of admission to a top university Yang Yanjie, a senior three student at the Aerospace High School of Zunyi, Guizhou province, thinks the joint exams will benefit students “It will save students time they would otherwise have spent traveling or preparing for the exam,” Yang said, “It will also allow students to prepare for the exam on the basis of specific features of universities”Students can apply to take the exams in November and December Qualified candidates will take the written exams in January next year The universities will

DecemberB candidates can take the exam in their home province, which saves a lotC candidates neednt to take the national college entrance exam any moreD candidates can apply for all the five universities at once62The fourth paragraph mainly tells us _A the “General Exam” and the “Special Exam”B the forms making up the examC which subject liberal arts students neednt prepare forD where and

earth This idea may sound like something from a science fiction, but it is actually being taken seriously by many researchers This suggests the future for the “red planet” will be the main topic for discussion at an international conference hosted by NASA this week Leading researchers as well as science fiction writers will attend the event It comes as NASA（美国宇航局） is preparing a multi-billion-dollar Mars research program “Turning Mars into a little earth has long been a topic in science fiction,” said Dr Michael Meyer, NASAs senior scientist “Now, with scientists exploring the reality, we can ask what are the real possibilities of changing Mars”Most scientists agree that Mars could be turned into a little earth, although much time and money would be needed to achieve this goal But many experts are shocked by the idea“We are destroying our own world at an unbelievable speed and now we are talking about ruining another planet,” said Paul Murdin from the Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge, UKOver the past months, scientists have become increasingly confident they will find Martian life forms Europe and Americas robot explorers have found the proof that water, mixed with soil, exists in large amounts on the planetIn addition, two different groups of scientists announced on March 28 that they had found signs of methane（甲烷） in the Martian atmosphere, the gas is a waste product of living creatures and could be produced by microbes（微生物）living in the red planets soil But scientists such as Dr Lisa Pratt, a biologist at Indiana University, say that these microbes will be put in danger by the little earth project “Before we have even discovered if there is life on Mars, we are talking about carrying out projects that would destroy all these native life forms, all the strange microbes that we hope to find buried in the soil,” said Dr PrattMonica Grady, a planetary scientist at the Natural History Museum, London, shares this view “We cannot risk starting a global experiment that would wipe out the precious information we are looking for,” she said “This is just wrong”66.
