Answer the questions
11、 below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. （40 points）Text 1Science textbooks around the world have become suddenly out of date. Four new chemical elements（元素）have been added to the periodic table. A big decision now lies ahead-elements 113,115,117 and 118 need
12、 to be given their official names and symbols.New elements can be named after a mythical（神话的）concept, a mineral, a place or country, a property（性质）or a scientist. The names have to be unique and maintain historical and chemical consistency M . This means a lot of ” -iums ” .“Theyre Latinising the na
13、me, n explains chemist Andrea Sella. ” The most recent tradition is to name them after places or people. The places chosen tend to be where the element was discovered or first produced.No one has yet named an element after themselves but many elements are named in honour of important scientists. Alb
14、ert Einstein was given einsteinium. This can also be a way of righting the wrongs of the past. Lise Meitner was really the chemist who spotted nuclear fission（核裂变）but she was never really recognised for it because she was Jewish and a woman, says Sella. ” Giving an element a name that reminds us of
15、her is greatly important.”The naming process isnt quick. The scientists who discovered them will start things off by suggesting a name. But it will be down to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry （IUPAC） to approve it. A special division of the US-based group has to accept the sugge
16、stion. Then there is a public review period of five months before the IUPAC gets the final approval. Once its ready, the name is announced in the scientific journal Pure and Applied Chemistry.Naming an element is not just about functionality. Names are always important.1、What is the function of Para
17、graph 1 ?A. To introduce the topic.B. To present a finding.C To point out a problem. D. To call for a decision, 2、Why was Lise Meitner mentioned in the naming process in Paragraph 4? A. To praise her.B. To build her reputation.C To correct the wrongs of the past.D. To end racial discrimination3、Who
18、has the final say in the naming process of an element? A. The scientist who discovered them.B , The special division of US-based group.C. The scientific journal Pure and Applied Chemistry, D. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. 4、What is the passage mainly about?A. How elements ge
19、t their names.B. Why science textbooks are out of date. C. How new elements are discovered.D. How functional naming an element is.Text 2 Leilas Hair MuseumBefore the invention of photography, people kept memories of loved ones by creating mementos移己念物）using human hair. In 1986, Leila Cohoon opened a
20、 museum in Independence, Missouri, to show her collection of more than 2, 000 pieces of hair-based art collected over 30 years. Billed as the only hair museum in the world, it includes more than 400 braided hair wreaths（花环）and 2,000 pieces of jewellery dating back to the mid-1600s. My museum is fill
21、ed with other peoples families,“ Leila says. It tells a story.”International UFO Museum and Research CenterOn July 7, 1947, a farmer discovered mysterious metallic debris（金属碎片）in his farm outside Roswell, New Mexico. Roswell Army Air Field （RAAF）originally said it recovered a flying disc. The next d
22、ay, RAAF changed its words: The object was a weather balloon. Stories of a UFO and a government cover-up spread. Each year, 180,000 people check out the dirt from the UFO crash site, photos, and reports about the Roswell incident.Museum of Bad ArtNot all art is created equal. After finding an oil pa
23、inting in the rubbish in 1993the now classic Lucy in the Field with Flowers-Scott Wilson started collecting bad art. Before long, he showed his finds at the Somerville movie theater. The Museum of Bad Art (MOBA) gives the public a firsthand look at some of the worlds worst disaster-pieces”. Popular
24、paintings include Mana Lisa, Hollywood Lips, and Drilling fbr Eggs. “MOBA is always on the lookout for the best of the worst,“ said co-founder Marie Jackson. But what an artist considers to be bad doesnt always meet our low standards.Mutter MuseumWelcome to the Mutter Museum in Philadelphia, Pennsyl
25、vania一home to more than 5,000 brains, bones, and dead bodies! In 1858, Dr. Thomas Dent Mutter gave his collection of preserved body parts, and bones to the College Of Physicians to improve medical education, which led to the museums creation in 1863.

28、Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfai
29、r for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身)，nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can7t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover“ themselves in order to convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people
30、 convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about w
31、hether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees, because those people represent the companies to their customers.As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qua
32、lified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I cant expect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change t
33、o satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.1、Which of the following is the newspaper editors opinion according to Paragraph 2?A. Peoples appearances carry message about themselves.B. Customers9 choices influence dress stan
34、dards in companies.C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly-treatedD. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace2、What can be inferred from the text?A. Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.B. What to wear is not a matter of personal choi
35、ce for companiesC. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.D. Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.3、Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.Employees MatterB.Personal ChoicesMatterC.Appearances MatterD.Hiring ManagersMatter4、The a
36、uthors attitude towards strange dress stylesin the workplacemay best be described as .A.enthusiasticB.negativeC.positiveD.sympatheticText 4As the worlds population grows, farmers will need to produce more and more food. And large farms are increasingly using precision farming to increase yields （产量）
37、，reduce waste, and reduce the economic and security risks that inevitably accompany agricultural uncertainty.Traditional farming relies on managing entire fields-making decisions related to planting, harvesting, irrigating, and applying pesticides and fertilizer （农药和化月R）based on regional conditions
38、and historical data. Precision farming, by contrast, combines sensors, robots, GPS, mapping tools and data-analytics software to customize（量身定制）the care that plants receive without increasing labor. Robot-mounted sensors and camera-equipped drones （无人机）wirelessly send images and data on individual p
39、lants to a computer, which looks for signs of health and stress. Farmers receive the feedback in real time and then deliver water, pesticide or fertilizer in adjusted doses（剂量）to only the areas that need it. The technology can also help farmers decide when to plant and harvest crops.As a result, pre
40、cision farming can improve time management, reduce water and chemical use, and produce healthier crops and higher yieldsall of which benefit farmers9 bottom lines and conserve resources while reducing chemical runoff.Many small businesses are developing new software, sensors, and other tools for pre
41、cision farming, as are large companies such as Monsanto, John Deere, Bayer, Dow and DuPont. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration all support precision farming, and many colleges now offer course work on the topic.In a related development, s
42、eed producers are applying technology to improve plant characteristics. By following individual plants over time and analyzing which ones flourish in different conditions, companies can relate the plants response to their environments with their genomics （基因组学）.That information, in turn, allows the
43、companies to produce seed varieties that will grow well in specific soil and weather conditions. This advanced technology may also help to improve crop nutrition.Farmers do not universally welcome precision agriculture for various reasons, such as high equipment costs and lack of access to the Inter
44、net. The technology may bring great challenges to experienced farmers who are not good at computers. And large systems will also be beyond the reach of many small farming operations in developing nations. But less expensive, simpler systems could potentially be applied. For others, though, cost savi
45、ngs in the long run may reduce the financial concerns. And however reticent some farmers may be to adopt new technology, the next generation of farmers are likely to warm to the approach.1、Precision farming differs from traditional farming partly because it.A. guarantees high yields with more laborB
46、 relies on regional conditions and historical dataC. offers plenty of water, pesticides and fertilizerD. provides real time information about target crops2 About precision farming, we can learn that.A. the government holds a cautious attitudeB , it draws positive responses from businessesC. seed pro
47、ducers have already made huge profitsD. large systems will soon be built in developing nations3、The underlined word reticent in the last paragraph probably means.A. disappointed B. confusedC. unwilling D. shocked4、What is the best title for the passage?A. Precision Farming Increases Crop YieldsB. Mo
48、re Challenges Faced by Modern FarmersC. Development of Farming Systems in the U.S.D.
