In politics, an 37 candidate (候选人) for office who 38 a nomination(提名)or election is called a dark horse. British Prime Minister Benjamin Disrael is believed to 39 the first to use the phrase. In his novel, The Young Duke , published in 1831, Disrael described a horse race and told how the two top choices fell 40 ,while a dark horse which had never been thought of rushed past the grandstand (看台)in a sweeping triumph. From racing to politics was a short step. As a political phrase, “dark horse ” 41 for the first time in the national Democratic Party congress of 1844. The dark horse was James Knox Polk who became the llth President of the United States. Polk had been the leader of the House of Representatives from 1835 to 1839. He had 42 been Governor of the state of Tennessee. But as a national leader, he was considered a political 43 . Nevertheless, he 44 won the Democratic nomination and was elected 45 .Martin Van Buren of New York, A former President, seemed sure of getting the nomination. But he opposed making the territory of Texas part of the United States as mother state. He was 46 it because there was slavery in Texas. Van Buren did not want another slave state in the Union. As a result, he 47 support among those Democrats who supported slavery. At the 1884 congress, Van Buren could not get enough votes to win the nomination. The congress got into 48 . Therefore, the Democratic leaders decided that the only wise thing would be to run a dark horse , 49 who could unite the party. And so, one of the party leaders, George Bancroft, proposed the name of James Knox Polk. He won, and the party 50 behind him, And he defeated his opponent , Henry Clay of the Whig Party. 51 the 1844 congress, the dark horse candidates became an established fact of national political life.

The concept dates back to 1623 ，when the first patent law to protect IP rights was passed. IP rights protect the artist from having his/her creative ideas copied by another. For example, if somebody generated an idea for a novel, that idea is protected by IP rights. If someone else wishes to represent the idea or develop it further, he/ she must consult the original artists, who will normally be rewarded financially for its use. Back in the 17th century, IP rights were primarily carried out to protect newly developed manufacturing processes against stealing. But today, intellectual property rights, are also enjoyed by those who create music, art and literature.In recent years, IP rights have been the focus of a great deal of discussion because of a technology which looks set to weaken them altogether: the Internet. Many years ago, if you wanted a recording of a song, you would have to purchase it from a music store; if a novel, form a book store. In those days, IP rights were easily protected since it was very difficult to obtain intellectual property without paying for it. However, a lot of IP, including songs, films, books and artwork, can be downloaded today free of charge using the Internet. This practice has now taken the world by storm, dramatically affecting the way in which we view IP rights.56. According to the writer, in the beginning, IP rights were mainly of use to _.A. those creating music, art and literatureB. novelistsC. engineers and inventorsD. those not receiving financial reward for their work57. What do we know about the Internet according to the passage?A. It makes IP rights harder to protect.B. It sells songs and films.C. It does not affect the way we understand IP rights.D. It prevents the production of artwork.58. According to paragraph 2, what has “taken the world by storm”?A. Intellectual property rights.B. The Internet.C. Free downloading.D. The large number of songs, films and books.59. A possible title for this passage could be _.A. A History of IP Rights B. Ways to Protect Your IP Rights.C. The Present and the Future Of IP D. IP Rights and Our AttitudesB Most people, when they travel to space, would like to stay in orbit for a few days of more. And this stands to reason, if youre paying $20,000 for your trip to orbit! Strain order for tourism to reach its full potential theres going to be a need for orbital accommodation-or space hotels. What would a space hotel actually be like to visit? Hotels in orbit will offer the services you expect from a hotel-private rooms, meals, bars. But theyll also offer two unique experiences: impressive views-of Earth and space-and the endless entertainment of living in zero gravity-including sports and other activities that make use of this. The hotels themselves will vary greatly-from being quite simple in the early days to huge luxury structures at a later date. Its actually surprising that as late as 1997, very few designs for space hotels were published. This is mainly because those who might be expected to design them havent expected launch costs to come down far enough to make them possible. Lots of people whove been to space have described vividly what its like to live in zero gravity. There are obviously all sorts of possibilities for dancing, gymnastics, and zero-G sports. Luckily, you dont need to sleep much living in zero gravity, so youll have plenty of time for relaxing by hanging out in a bar with a window looking down at the turning Earth below. Of course all good things have come to an end, Unfortunately. And so after a few days youll find yourself heading back though youll be much more expert at exercising in zero gravity than you were when you arrived. Youll be thinking how soon you can save up enough to get back up again-or maybe you should change jobs to get to work in an orbiting hotel!60. When traveling in space, most people would like to stay in orbit for a few days because _.A. it is expensive to travel in spaceB. they would find the possible life in other star systemsC. they could enjoy the luxury of space hotelsD. they want to realise the full potential of tourism61.

It must have some secretThe Antarctic is not a comfortable place to work and research has been slowNow it seems we have an answer Research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the fishScientists studied the fishs blood and measured its freezing point The fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of -188 and many tiny pieces of ice floating in itThe blood of the fish did not begin to freeze until its temperature was lowered to -205That small difference is enough for the fish to live at the freezing temperature of the ice-salt mixture The scientists next research job was clear: Find out what in the fishs blood kept it from freezingTheir search led to some really strange thing made up of a protein(蛋白质) never before seen in the blood of a fishWhen it was removed,the blood froze at seawater temperatureWhen it was put back,the blood again had its antifreeze quality and a lowered freezing point Study showed that it is an unusual kind of proteinIt has many small sugar molecules(分子) held in special positions within each big protein moleculeBecause of its sugar content, it is called a glycoproteinSo it has come to be called the antifreeze fish glycoprotein, or AFGP68What is the text mainly about?AThe terrible conditions in the AntarcticBA special fish living in freezing watersCThe ice shelf around AntarcticaDProtection of the Antarctic cod69Why can the Antarctic cod live at the freezing temperature?AThe seawater has a temperature of -188BIt loves to live in the ice-salt mixtureCA special protein keeps it from freezingDIts blood has a temperature lower than -20570What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?AA type of ice-salt mixtureBA newly found proteinCFish bloodDSugar molecule71What does “glyco-” in the underlined word “glycoprotein” in the last paragraph mean?Asugar Bice Cblood DmoleculeE If your boss asks you to work in Moscow this year, hed better offer you more money to do soor even double that depending on where you live nowThats because Moscow has just been found to be the worlds most expensive city for the second year in a row by Mercer Human Resources Consulting Using the cost of living in New York as a base, Mercer determined Moscow is 344 percent more expensive including the cost of housing, transportation, food, clothing, household goods and entertainment(娱乐) A two-bedroom flat in Moscow now costs $4000 a month; a CD $2483,and an international newspaper $630,according to MercerBy comparison, a fast food meal with a hamburger(汉堡包) is a steal at $480 London takes the No2 place, up from No5 a year ago, thanks to higher cost of housing and a stronger British pound relative to the dollarMercer estimates(估算) London is 26 percent more expensive than New York these daysFollowing London closely are Seoul and Tokyo, both of which are 22 percent more expensive than New York, while No5 Hong Kong is 19 percent more costly Among North American cities, New York and Los Angeles are the most expensive and are the only two listed in the top 50 of the worlds most expensive citiesBut both have fallen since last years studyNew York came in 15th,down from 10th place, while Los Angeles fell to 42nd from 29th place a year agoSan Francisco came in a distant third at No54,down 20 places from a year earlier Toronto, meanwhile, is Canadas most expensive city but fell 35 places to take 82nd place worldwideIn Australia, Sydney is the priciest place to live in and No21 worldwide72What do the underlined words “a steal” in Paragraph 3 mean?Aan act of stealingBsomething deliciousCsomething very cheapDan act of buying73London has become the second most expensive city because of_Athe high cost of clothingBthe stronger pound against the dollarCits expensive transportationDthe high prices of fast food meals74Which city is the third most expensive on the list?ATokyoBHong KongCMoscowDSydney75Which city has dropped most on the list in North America?ANew York BLos AngelesCSan Francisco DTorontoV.阅读表达Which animal is mans best friend?
