I also chose UCD because of its Introduction to Scientific Research module, which matches visiting students with professors for a term-long research project, and because of the Science offices friendliness and helpfulness. I am convinced that I made the best possible decision!While at UCD I lived on campus, which allowed me to throw myself into everything the university has to offer. I was given the opportunity to work with Geraldine Butlers lab. I loved it so much that I ended up heading to the lab almost every weekday, whenever I wasnt attending my always-interesting classes in pharmacology. After lab, I enjoyed a variety of after-school activitiesthat was certainly a new experience for me.Living in Dublin provided a great opportunity for seeing the rest of Ireland and Europe. I spent my weekends and spring break traveling to every corner of the island, amazed at all of the history and natural beauty.

After every trip, it was nice to return to friendly Dublin and head out with my roommates to one of our favorite pubs.I would highly recommend studying abroad at UCD.

Three yearsCDo you have memories of being kidnapped (绑架)by aliens (外星人) and taken away rapidly in a spaceship? You wouldnt be alone. Several thousand people worldwide reported to have had such experiences, researchers say. But in a new study, a psychology expert at Londons Goldsmiths College says these experiences are proof of the weakness of the human memory, rather than evidence of life in outer space.“Maybe what were dealing with here is false memories, and not that people are actually being kidnapped and taken aboard spaceships,” says Professor Chris French, who surveyed 19 so-called victims.Several of the victims reported being taken away from their beds or cars by alien creatures around four feet high, with long and lean arms and legs and oversized heads, French said. Some men said they were forced to take painful medical examinations by the aliens.Many of the alien experiences could be explained by sleep paralysis, a condition in which a person is awake and aware of the surroundings but is unable to move. Sleep paralysis often leads to hallucinations the experience of seeing or feeling something that is not really there and 40 percent of people experience the state at least once in their lives, French said. A rich imagination was also at play. Several of the alien victims were more likely to fantasize and reported to have seen ghosts (幽灵) and have unnatural abilities.“People have very rich fantasy lives,” said French, who is due to present his findings at a public seminar at Londons Science Museum on Wednesday. “So much that they often mix up whats happening in their heads with what is going on in the real world.”29. According to Chris French, if someone told you an alien experience again, you might _.A. believe the storyB. just laugh it awayC. wonder whyD. report it to the police 30. The underlined word “fantasize” in Paragraph 4 probably means _.A. use vivid imaginationB. tell the truthC. have good memoriesD. make up excuses31. What is the authors attitude towards alien experiences?A. Puzzling.B. Supportive.C. Respectful.D. Objective.DEven plants can run a fever , especially when theyre under attack by insects or disease . But unlike human , plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away straight up . A decade ago , adopting the infrared （红外线）scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites , physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress . The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide （杀虫剂）spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field , which invariably includes plants that dont have pest （害虫）problems .Even better , Paleys Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye . Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night ,an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops . The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running “fevers” . Farmers could then spot-spray , using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide that they otherwise would .The bad news is that Paleys company closed down in 1984 , after only three years . Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find . But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce , and refinements in infrared scanning , Paley hopes to get back into operation . Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works . “This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States ,” says George Oerther of Texas A& M, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture , thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade . But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago .32. Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are .Asprayed with pesticides Bfacing an infrared scanner Cin poor physical condition Dexposed to excessive sun rays 33. In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely , we can use infrared scanning to .Aestimate the damage to the crops Bmeasure the size of the affected area Cdraw a color-coded map Dlocate the problem area 34. The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties , one of which is .Athe lack of official support Bits high cost Cthe lack of financial support Dits failure to help increase production 35. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of .Athe desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce Bgrowing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on crops Cthe forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture Dfull support from agricultural experts 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to prepare for the SAT or ACTPlan your studyYou will need at least 6-8 weeks of preparation time. 36 .Therefore, it is better to work on them first.
