As they wanted to stay on good terms with the landowner, they offered to blow up a large tree stump that had remained after part of a tree had been blown down in the storm. But Lord Hunt asked them not to damage the plantation of young trees that was next to the stump. The officer in charge of the engineers promised him that they would be careful. Lord Hunt was so pleased that he asked the whole group to lunch on the day of the explosion.The day came and just before lunch, the officer checked with one of his men to see if they had put enough explosive in the stump. “I checked the maths,” said the soldier and it comes to 32 kilos. “Are you sure?” asked the officer. “Perhaps youd better put in a bit more just to make sure.” The lunch continued and everyone ate a lot and drank a lot. A little later, the group of soldiers went outside with Lord Hunt to see the explosion. “You just see, Lord Hunt, that tree will fall in exactly the right place without hurting any of your young trees,” said the officer. The soldier lit the fuse, then walked quickly away to take cover. After a minute the tree, instead of falling over on its side, rose with the explosion 20 metres into the air, taking with it a huge quantity of earth together with all the young plantation. “Sorry sir, I made a mistake!” said the soldier. “It should have been 3.2 kilos, not 32 kilos.”Lord Hunt was so upset that he turned around and walked back to his house. He looked at the house in horror and saw that every single window had been broken by the explosion. He was so upset that he went to the toilet on the ground floor to get over his feelings of shock. When he had finished, he pulled the plug of the toilet and the whole ceiling, which had been weakened by the explosion, fell on his head.41. It can be inferred from the text that the tree “stump” (in paragraph1) was _.A. the broken top part of a treeB. the bottom part of a large treeC. the branches of a fallen treeD. a young tree in another plantation42. The explosion caused great damages because _.A. the officer told the soldier to put in a bit more to make sure of the resultB. the soldier made a mistake in maths about the amount of the explosiveC. the soldier wanted to play a joke on Lord HuntD. the soldier drunk so much that he could not carry out the order from the officer43. When the explosion came, it _.A. destroyed the tree without harming the plantationB. blew up the tree but left the stumpC. was stronger than expectedD. blew up the tree in the expected direction44. When Lord Hunt saw the results of the explosion, _.A. he was very angry and complained to the officerB. he went inside to check the house for damageC. he was shocked and upsetD. he was surprised to see the damaged ceilingsB“Were all sad, and were a little worried. Were sad about something missing in childhood,” psychologist Michael Thompson told 900 early childhood educators from 22 states packed into a lecture hall last week. “We have to fight back,” he declared. “Were going to fight for play.”It is estimated that since the 1980s the average American children have 8 to 12 fewer hours of free play time per week. Some of the factors behind the decline have been there for decades, others are more recent. Among the key factors are: Parents are unwilling to let their kids play outside on their own, for fear of injury or other accidents, and organized sports and other structured activities take up a large part of a childs non-school hours. More hours per week are spent by kids watching TV, playing video games, using the Internet, and communicating on cell phones. More importance is attached to formal learning in preschool, more homework for primary school students and more pressure from parents on young children to quickly acquire academic skills. “Parents are more self-conscious and competitive than in the past,” Thompson said. “Theyre pushing their kids to do better than others. Free play loses out.” But he points out that this option doesnt necessarily breed (培养) creativity and can lead to burnout for good young athletes and frustration for the less skilled. He is also concerned that preschools, in the drive to prepare students for the academic challenges ahead, are reducing the opportunity for group fantasy play and thus reducing childrens chances to learn on their own about fairness, kindness and other social interactions (交往). The consequences are potentially awful, according to Thompson, who points out that reduced time to play freely with other children is producing a generation of unsociable young people and is a factor behind high rates of weight problems, anxiety, and depression among youth. “Without enough opportunity for forms of play that promote creative thinking,” he says, “Americas children will be at a disadvantage in the global economy.”45. Which of the following is TRUE? A. American kids have about 8 to 12 hours of free play time each week. B. American parents dont allow their children to do a lot of sports. C. Many preschools are paying more attention to formal learning. D. American children spend less time watching TV. 46. Childrens free play time has been reduced for the following reasons EXCEPT _. A. parents are concerned about their childrens safety B. parents have higher academic expectations on their children C. children spend more time on other activities instead of free play D. some education experts give parents improper advice 47. What is the most important thing that children get by playing freely? A. Knowledge about the rules of some sports. B. Skills in playing computer games. C. Motivation to do better than others. D. Opportunities to promote creative thinking. 48. According to Thompson, American children will be more _ as a result of reduced play time. A. competitiveB. depressedC. hard-workingD. sociable CUnder the impression that if you want to lose weight, you have to eat less? Well apparently, the solution may not be quite that simple.Instead, some scientists in the UK have been experimenting with ways to trick the body into feeling full.A government-funded team has been testing simple foods found on everyday shopping lists.Bread, cheese, milk, soup and sauces can all be developed to cause the brain to send a brain signal which acts as an appetite suppression (抑制).Peter Wilde, Scientist of UK Institute of Food Research, said, “If you can slow down the digestion of fat in the body, the undigested fat goes further down the small intestine (肠) and then it sends a message to the brain to reduce your appetite, so you can eat a normal-sized meal and the digestion is slowed down and then the message goes to your brain to reduce your appetite and you go for longer without being hungry.”The researchers insist that the treated foods will still be entirely natural products, and free from processing.They believe helping people to reduce weight this way is beneficial because it allows them to eat normally. The scientists also think their treatment could be taken into snacks to make sure people dont eat too much.The research is still at the experimental stage and it will be at least a year before their techniques can be used in a large scale human trial. 49. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. People can lose more weight by eating natural food products.B. Eating less in meals can make people lose weight.C. Fat people should eat bread and cheese every day.D. Some scientists are doing research into a new way to lose weight. 50. How can the new way help people lose weight?A. Make a person lose his or her appetite for food.B. Slow down the digestion of fat and then reduce the appetite.C. Stop people eating food that is easy to digest.D. Make people eat less but do not feel hungry.51. According to the passage, the following statements are true EXCEPT _.A. bread and milk can be developed to slow down the digestion of fatB. you wont eat as frequently as before by eating the treated foodC. you dont have to go on a diet when taking the treated foodD. many people have been invited to test the treated food52.

We live in a consumer society, where there is a huge demand for commercial products of all kinds. Moreover, an increase in industrial production is considered to be one solution to the problem of mass unemployment. Such an increase needs an abundant and cheap energy supply. Many people believe that nuclear energy is endless and economical. There are a number of other advantages in the use of nuclear energy. Firstly, nuclear power, except for accidents, is clean. A further advantage is that a nuclear power station can be run by relatively few technical and managing staff. The nuclear power station represents a large step in our scientific research and, whatever the anti-nuclear group says, it is wrong to expect a return to more primitive sources of fuel. However, those who disagree with nuclear energy point out that nuclear power stations bring a direct threat not only to the environment but also to the human race. Furthermore, it is doubtful whether finally nuclear power is a cheap source of energy. There have, for example, been very costly accidents in America and Russia. The possibility of increases in the cost of uranium (铀) and the cost to ensure its safety could price nuclear power out of the market. In the long run, environmentalists argue, nuclear energy may bring about the destruction of the human race. Thus, if we wish to survive, we cannot afford nuclear energy. Though nuclear energy programmes are expanding, which assumes a continual growth in industrial production and consumer demands. It is doubtful whether this growth will or can continue. Having weighed up the arguments on both sides, it seems there are good economic and environmental reasons for sources of energy other than
