Note that there is one word more than you need.A. recently B. affects C. pattern D. varied E. floatsF. warm G. regularly H. mysterious I. effect J. evidenceBig climate changes in the last million years might have come from something very small: dust from outer space.Earth changes between ice ages and warm periods in a(n) _41_ that includes several cycles, including a _42_ one that lasts 100,000 years. Scientists _43_suggested this cycle might be due to changes in the inflow of cosmic(宇宙) dust.The idea is that Earth _44_above and below the imaginary plane that runs through the sun and Jupiter(木星), completing a cycle every 100,000 years. So maybe it encounters _45_varying amounts of dust during each cycle that produce the climate trend.Now there is some _46_, from ancient cosmic dust recovered in ocean-floor drilling near the Azores islands west of Portugal. The large quantity of the dust rises and falls with a wonderful 100,000 year cycle during the period analyzed, 253,000 years to 458,000 years ago. Periods of more dust are related to_47_ climates.But that is a long way from showing that the dust _48_ climate. Some scientists argue that it is not clear how cosmic dust would make the climate warmer while dust from volcanoes is known to make it cooler. They say the cosmic dust is so thin that it is hard to see how it could have any climate_49_.Nevertheless, the new study shows scientists have to take the cosmic dust idea seriously.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.No one would be willing to pay one-third of the price for the packaging or wrapping of what he or she purchases. But over-packaging has become a disease that leads to an _50_ waste of resources and _51_ environmental pollution.The wasted packaging materials are _52_ to be worth about 280 billion yuan annually. And such packages and wrappings thrown away by customers _53_ up half of the volume of solid waste in cities. _54_, it is high time that regulations were _55_ to stop enterprises from spending too much on unnecessary packaging and wrapping.To produce paper packaging or wrapping, many more trees have to be cut down. Over-packaging also limits the interest of consumers when they have to spend quite a high percentage on something that they will have to throw into the dustbin. The simple truth is that the more a producer spends on packaging, the _56_ the products it sells will be.Product packaging and wrapping used to be very simple 30 years ago. Shabby was the word many had used to _57_ the way Chinese products were packaged. And shabby packaging was blamed for making Chinese products _58_ in the international market.It is _59_ to pay enough attention to packaging or wrapping products in such a manner that they can be _60_ to customers eyes. But that does not definitely justify that packaging should even outshine what is inside.In the Chinese proverb, “maidu huanzhu,” the buyer returns the pearl and just keeps the case because the _61_ is too fancy and luxurious. It not only laughs at the poor _62_ of the buyer, but also criticizes the unnecessary _63_ the seller has made in making the case. Another message from the proverb is that over-packaging helps cultivate an _64_ consuming attitude - to buy fancy-looking stuff but not what they really need.50.A. enormousB. available C. invisible D. illegal51.A. results fromB. contributes toC. depends on D. calls for52.A. predictedB. requiredC. acknowledgedD. estimated53.A. lookB. holdC. makeD. add54.A. HoweverB. ThereforeC. OtherwiseD. Furthermore55.A. observedB. brokenC. adoptedD. forbidden56A. betterB. more expensiveC. cheaperD. more useful57.A. recommendB. praiseC. considerD. criticize58.A. popularB. impressiveC. unattractiveD. qualified59.A. ridiculousB. incredibleC. unnecessaryD. reasonable60.A. accustomedB. appealingC. similarD. grateful61.A. formerB. nextC. otherD. latter62.A. judgmentB. eyesightC. appetiteD. health63.A. contributionsB. effortsC. progressD. use64.A. unfamiliarB. unhealthyC. unnaturalD. unavoidableSection BDirections: Read the following four passages.

Necessary PC skills.C. Speaking at least three languages.D. Five-year working experience.( B )After 10 seasons wearing the No. 8 on his back, Kobe Bryant will become No 24 next season. The reason for the surprising decision by the Los Angeles Lakers super guard last week has become a hot topic for debate.Bryant wore No 24 when he was in early high school, but he changed to No 33 in his senior year. He switched to No 8 when he was selected by the Lakers in 1996, and has been not changed since.Bryant has refused to explain the decision until the end of the play-offs. So guessing Bryants motive has become a popular game among NBA fans and newspaper columnists.There are all kinds of speculations（猜测）. Many say that Bryant wants to leave the past behind and have a fresh start. He has often been criticized for playing to benefit himself and not the team as a whole. Others say that he may be trying to compare himself to Michael Jordan. Jordan was famous for his No 23 jersey（运动衫）. Some, such as NBC Sport columnist Michael Ventre, argue that it is “all about money”. Bryant will make more money by selling new jersey to his fans.Some speculations are more about fun. For example, there is an opinion that Kobe is actually just a diehard fan of the popular TV drama “24”.All this talk has turned the number changed into a major issue. It seems that there is a lot of fuss over something that should be pretty simple.Jersey numbers have their own special significance in American sports, especially basketball. Players choose their number when they join a team and they usually stick with that number for the rest of their career. When a great player retires, his team will honor him by retiring his number.68. Which team has Bryant played for?A. The Los Angels Lakers. B. The Houston rockets.C. The Chicago Bulls. D. The Miami Heats.69. Bryant has worn No 8 _ .A. for two years and a half B. for ten yearsC. since he entered high school D. since he left high school70.Which of the following is NOT a speculation about Bryants motive to change his number?A. He wants to leave his past behind and have a fresh start.B. He wants to compare himself to Jordan.C. He wants to earn more money.D. He wants to show that he is man of great importance.71. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. When a great player retires, his team will reward him with much money.B. A lucky number will be passed on to a new player.C. An outstanding players jersey number wont be used after his retirement.D. A great player often changes his jersey number in the same team.( C )Writing being largely a self-taught occupation, texts on how to get about it though great in number seldom are of much use.You try, and fail. Then try again, and perhaps fail not quite so grievously. Until at last, if you have some gift for it, the failures become less frequent, or at any rate less noticeable.It is this ability to conceal ones defects（瑕疵）that passes, finally, for accomplishment.Along the way there are the discouragements of unkind criticism, outright rejection, nagging insecurity and irregular inability to meet debts.It is uncommon, therefore, to come across a book containing advice of much practical value for anyone toying with the dangerous idea of staring on a writing life.A friend recently loaned me such a book, however one I wish Id had the luck to read years ago, and which I would commend to any young person bent on making a career of words. It is the autobiography of the English novelist Anthony Trollope, first published in 1883, the year after his death.Needing
