Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements . For each of them there are four choices marked A) , B) , C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center . Passage OneQuestions 33 t0 37 are based on the following passage. Did humans live at the same time as dinosaurs? The answer is of course no, but about a third of Australians got it wrong in a recent survey. The survey results are being used to highlight what is being described as a disturbing ignorance (无知) about science.33 Dr. Cathy Foley, president of the Australian Scientific and Technological societies, says Australians have a long way to go before having good scientific literacy (教育).37 We asked six basic questions in a survey of l,500 people and only 3 or 4 percent of them got them all correct, she said.34 Unfortunately 30 percent of Australians think reptiles (爬行动物)or dinosaurs and humans were alive at the same time, for example. Also basic things like how much of the Earth is covered by water, how much of the water we have is fresh. These are things we should probably know just as general knowledge while a significant portion, about 30 percent,35 of the population are not able to answer correctly. Dr. Foley says Australia finds itself in a gray situation where the number of science and mathematics teachers is declining.36 30 to 50 percent of science and mathematics teachers are going to be retiring in the next five to 10 years, she said. I think we are in need of investing as much as we can into making sure we have strong teachers, who everyone has to agree probably on of the most fundamental groups of people in society that make us what we are.”33. The incorrect answers given by many Australians about dinosaurs are seen as . A) an error in the survey result B) a mistake in survey design C) a light, unimportant matter D) a sign of poor science education34. In a survey conducted by Dr. Cathy Foley and her colleagues, A) 1,500 people were involved B) all questions were about animals C) most of the answer were wrong D) six questions were asked about water35. The percentage of the population unable to answer basic questions about science is estimated to be A) 3 to 4 percent B) about 70 percent C) about 30 percent D) about 50 percent36.

A) science teachers deserve more respect B) more biology classed should be taught at school C) most Australians are poorly educated D) Australia should enhance its science educationPassage Two Questions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage . The old saying, necessity is the mother of invention, is still probably the best guide as it is the driving force for two of most common ways for coming up with ideas for new inventions. The first way comes about when people realize that they need something, or decided that their life would be better if only there was a device that could achieve a result faster and/or easier than the present manual method. Faced with this obstacle, creative people proceed to invent and build the desired device. The second way people get ideas for new inventions is by observing other people struggle with a task and deciding there has to be a better way. This can be an accidental event where person A sees person B struggling and gets an idea. Or, it can be deliberate as when Scott Cook, the creator of Intuit Corporation, had money to start a computer software business but knew neither how to write a program nor what program to write. So, he began observing people and looking for ideas. He finally got the idea for a checkbook(支票簿）balancing program when he saw his wife struggling with the monthly work of reconciling(核对) their checkbook with the bank statement. Concluding that others had the same problem, he posted notices at nearby Stanford University seeing a computer science student to write a program. His search led him to Tom Proulx who took Cooks idea and wrote the program for the original Quicken software. The two then launched Intuit. 38. According to the passage, an invention is usually made _ . A) by a manual method B) out of a need C) accidentally D) from an old saying 39) The word obstacle (Para.2) is closest in meaning to _ _ A) task B) barrier C) problem D) decision 40. An idea may occur to you for an invention when you _ . A) observe two persons struggling with each other B) fortunately get involved in an accidental event C) see people have difficulty doing something D) have no idea about how to start a business 41.

C) Cook asked his wife to help with his companys account. D) The software Quicken was programmed by Cook and Proulx. 42. Scott Cook decided to work on a checkbook balancing program because . A) he needed to find a product for his company B) he got a contract to produce it for the bank C) he had hired a computer student from Stanford D) he believed his wifes problem was universalPassage ThreeQuestions 43 to 47 are based on the following passage . Dong Yuanqing, a 22-year-old animation (动漫)major at Wuhan University of Technology, took the Best Short Film Award for cellphone movies at the 2009 Beijing Student Film Festival last month. The latest cellphones allow people to carry around a cinema in their pocket. And amateur (业余) filmmakers like Dong are beginning to create entertainment that fits this new demand. Cellphone films have to tell the story in a quick, tight way, says Dong, for most people only watch them in their spare time and I have to catch their attention in the shortest span of time. Dongs five-minute film, Extending a Hand, tells the story of a group of thieves who pass a stolen purse from one to another. He says the title is pun (双关语). It (extending a hand) could either refer to the bad behavior of a thief or the loving act of someone trying to help. The key thing about a cellphone film is that it must have an unexpected plot or ending, and hence you cant allow the story to go flat. In fact, Dong did his first film as part of his homework, but he plans to make more for fun, and maybe for some money. Its more of a commercial way of catching peoples attention. Its not like an art film, Dong says of his first cellphone film. His next, he hopes, will be a romantic Kungfu story.43. The 2009 Best Short Film Award was won by _ . A) an animation major from Wuhan University B) a cellphone producer from Beijing C) a student who makes cellphone movies D) a student majoring in movie technology44.

Dong Yangqings next cellphone movie will be A) a part of his homework B) a romantic kungfu story C) a kind of commercial film D) something similar to an art film Passage Four Questions 48 to 52 are based on the following passage . Beijing is experiencing its longest period of hot weather in a decade, and it is expected to continue until Friday. This Tuesday, the city has experienced 10 days with the maximum temperature exceeding 35 -the most for the month of July in a decade. The hot and wet weather will continue until Friday. Rain will cool things down on the weekend,said Sun Jisong chief weather forecaster at the Beijing Meteorological（气象）Station.

Ma Yongsheng, vice director of the local tourist bureau, said that the number of tourists to the regions grasslands in July has reduced by half compared with the same period last year, with only about 20 million visitors arriving.
