Cool climate vegetables like asparagus (芦笋) are now able to be grown in places as hot as Hawaii. In Hawaii, marine (海的)engineers have been able to actually let you believe such vegetables that they are living in cooler climates. In that way they grow faster and taste better. What these engineers have been using is very simply cold sea water. How did they use it? They place pipes in the soil and cold water flowing through them cools the earth. This causes plant growth and enables gardeners in tropical climates (热带气候) to grow crops from cooler climates. Also some of these pipes are exposed to the air and they make the air “wet” and thus water the gardens. What especially makes people happy about this process (过程) is that nothing to the natural conditions is being used. Another new use for cold ocean water is to cool buildings. Engineers believe that for example the entire west coast of the United States could be air-conditioned using seawater.56. What does the new system enable the gardeners to do? A. Water the field with seawater.B. Grow asparagus in hot places. C. Grow cool climate vegetables in hot areas.D. Cool the soil.57. Sea water mentioned in the passage is mainly used to_. A. water the farms B. water the gardens C. cool the air D. make the earth cool58. What is the report mainly about? A. How to grow vegetables in hot areas. B. How to grow crops in tropical climates. C. How to cool the soil. D. How to use sea water.59. It can be inferred from the passage that _. A. sea water can act as an air-conditioner B. asparagus are only grown in hot places C. the writer wants to tell us something about scientific advance D. sea water has many advantagesB My first performance in front of an audience was coming up soon. I tried as hard as I could to remain calm, but my heart was racing. I stared down at my sweat-covered, shaking hands. I looked up again at the audience, realizing that these were real people. They were not just my mum and dad, who would say, “Good job!” even if I messed up the entire piece. What if I had the wrong music? What if I played the wrong notes? As it turned out, I was never able to answer these questions because the spotlight (聚光灯) was waiting for me. I grasped my hands tightly together, drying off the sweat. Slowly I walked to the mud-brown piano in the center of the room. It contained 88 demanding keys, which were waiting impatiently to be played. I swallowed the golf-ball-sized lump (隆起部分) in my throat and sat down. Slowly, I opened the music. Next, I rested my still shaking hands on the ivory (象牙色的) keys. As my fingers played across the keys, I was becoming more unsure of my preparation for this moment. But the memory of my years of training came flooding back. I knew that I had practiced this piece so many times that I could play it backwards if requested. Although at one point I accidentally played two keys instead of the intended one, I continued to move my fingers automatically (自动地). My eyes burned holes into (were fixed on) the pages in front of me. There was no way that I was going to lose my concentration. To keep this to myself, I leaned forward and focused carefully on the music. When l came to the end of the page, a warning went off inside my head: DONT MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN YOU TURN THE PAGE! Needless to say, 1 obeyed myself with all my heart and mind. And, proud of my “page-turning” feat (技艺), I finished the rest of the piece without making a single mistake. After the final note died away, a celebration went into action inside my head. I had finished. I had mastered the impossible.60. The author was nervous before the performance because _. A. his or her mother and father werent present B. the strong spotlight was shining onto the stage C. he or she hadnt mastered the entire piece D. he or she had never performed in public before61. The underlined phrase “mess up” in Paragraph 3 probably means _. A. put into disorder B. forget aboutC. stop halfwayD. do well in62. The author _. A. didnt make any mistake in the performance B. felt better at the beginning of the performance C. paid all attention to nothing but his / her performance D. lost his / her concentration sometimes during the performance63. What did the author feel about his / her performance? A. He / She thought it was comfortable and successful. B. He / She thought it was very difficult but successful. C. He / She thought he / she had never made a mistake during the performance.D. He / She thought he / she played through the piece carefully but light-heartedly. CThe Giant Squid In The Deep OceanJapanese scientists have taken the first photographs of one of the most mysterious creatures in the deep ocean the giant squid(鱿鱼).Until now the only information about the behavior of the creatures which measure up to 18 meters (59 feet) in length has been based on dead or dying squid washed up on shore or captured in commercial fishing nets.But Tsunemi Kubodera, of the National Science Museum, and Kyoichi Mori of the Ogasawara Whale Watching Association, both in Tokyo have captured the first images of Architeuthis attacking bait(鱼饵) 900 meters below the surface in the cold, dark waters of the North Pacific. “We show the first wild images of a giant squid in its natural environment,” they said in a report in the journal Proceedings B of the Royal Society.Little is known about the creatures because it has been so difficult to locate and study them alive. Large ships and specialist equipment, which is costly, are needed to study deep sea environments.The Japanese scientists found the squid by following sperm whales, the most effective hunters of giant squid, as they gathered to feed between September and December in the deep waters off the coast of the Ogasawara Islands in the North Pacific. They used a remote long-line camera and depth logging system to capture the giant squid in the ocean depths.The most dramatic character of giant squids is the pair of extremely long tentacles(触角，触须), distinct from the eight shorter arms. The long tentacles make up to two-thirds of the length of the dead specimens（(标本，样本）to date. The giant squid appear to be a much more active meat-eating animals than researchers had thought.64. The passage mainly tells us that _. A. Scientists captured a giant squid alive B. Scientists captured a giant squid on camera C. giant squids are special meat-eating animals D. giant squids mainly live in the deep sea65. According to the passage, we can infer that the word “Architeuthis” should refer to _. A. a scientist B. the sperm whale C. a big ship D. the giant squid66. Which of the following about giant squids is TRUE? A. They like living the cold and deep waters. B. They mainly feed on the dead fish. C. They like playing, using their tentacles. D. They have only eight arms around the mouth.67. According to the passage, the scientists located the giant squid _. A. through a remote long-line camera B. by using depth logging system C. by following sperm whales D. by using the bait to attract themDIf you dont want people to know too much about you, then you had better keep your fridge contents secret according to a British market research document released last week.Researchers peered (凝视) into the fridges of 400 people in Britain and compared the contents with the owners lifestyles. They claim to be able to classify the nations people by fridge contents. They say those people can be separated into five categories: nutrition nerds (no social sense), food faddies (whatevers in style), martyr mums, fast food fanatics and restaurant regulars. Nutrition nerds care much about what they put into their bodies. Their fridges are stocked with fruit, vegetables and healthy meat. People in this category tend to be highly organized and usually work in law or accountancy. The vast majority are single, but if they have a partner, that person will be similar. A fridge full of vitamins enriched juices implies its owner works in media or fashion. They tend not to eat the foods they buy. Known as the food faddies, they just want to be seen as purchasing the latest important things. A fridge filled with everything from steak to frozen fish suggests the martyr mum. Her fridge tends to be stocked with every kind of product, except what she herself would want. This fridge hints at difficulty balancing family and
