| What will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology (生物技术). With the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents, murder and war. Today's leading killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories. In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live, Human brains wer e known to decide the final death. Cells (细胞) are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine repair their organs (器官). The medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so on-in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones. It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future. |

| Danielle Steel, America's sweetheart, is one of the hardest working woman in the book business. Unlike other productive authors who write one book at a time, she can work on up to five. Her research before writing takes at least three years. Once she has fully studied her subjects, ready to dive into the book, she can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk. Danielle Steel comes from New York and was sent to France for her education. After graduation, she worked in the public relations and advertising industries. Later she started a job as a writer which she was best fit for. Her achievements are unbelievable; 390 million copies of books in print, nearly fifty New York Times best-selling novels, and a series of "Max and Martha" picture books for children to help them deal with the real-life problem of death, new babies and new schools. Her 1998 book about the death of her work shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list as soon as it came out. Twenty-eight of her books had been made into films. She is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for one of her books being the Times best-seller for 381 weeks straight. Not content with a big house, a loving family, and a view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Danielle Steel considers her readers to be the most important resource (资源) and has kept in touch with them by e-mail. While she is often compared to the heroines (女主人公) of her own invention, her life is undoubtedly much quieter. But, if she does have anything in common with them, it is her strength of will and her inimitable (独 特的) style. There is only one Danielle Steel. |

| Most rain forests lie close to the equator (赤道), where the climate is often mild and there are long hours of sunshine. The warmth of the land heats the air above, causing it to rise and tiny drops of water to fall as rain. The rainfall can reach at least 98 inches a year. This wet, warm world with plenty of sunlight is perfect for plants to grow, so the trees grow fast with green leaves all the year round. The trees themselves also hare an effect on the climate. They gather water from the soil and pass it out into the air through their leaves. The wet air then forms clouds, which hang over the treetops like smoke. These clouds protect the forest from the daytime heat and night-time cold of nearby deserts, keep temperatures fit for plant growth. Rain forests slightly farther away from the equator remain just as warm, but they have a dry season of three months or more when little rain falls, Tree leaves fall dining this dry season and new leaves grow when the wet season or monsoon (雨季) begins Thus these areas are known as the "monsoon forest". Another type of rain forest grows on tropical mountains. It is often called the "cloud forest" because clouds often hang over the trees like fog. The rain forest is the ideal place for the growth of many different trees. Most of them depend on animals to eat their fruits and spread their seeds. When the fruits are eaten, the seeds inside them go undamaged through animals, stomachs and are passed out in their droppings. The seeds lying on the forest floor then grow into new trees. |
| 1. The climate of the rain forests near the equator is _____. |
| A. mild, wet and windy B. hot, rainy and foggy C. hot, wet and cloudy D. warm, wet and sunny |
| 2. We can learn from the passage that _____. |
| A. tree leaves are green all the time in the monsoon forest B. there is a dry season in the cloud forest on tropical mountains C. clouds help the plants in the rain forest near the deserts to grow D. the formation of climate in the rain forest has little to do with the trees |
| 3. According to the passage _____ play the most important role in the spreading of seeds. |
| A. animals B. droppings C. fruits D. winds |
| 4. This passage is most likely to be found in _____. |

| All her life, my mother wanted busy children. It was very important that her house should remain it all times clean and tidy. You could turn your back for a moment in my mother's house, leave a half-written letter on the dining room table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had "put it back where it belonged," as she explained. My wife, on one of her first visits to my mother's house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. When she returned, she found the packet had been removed. Confused (疑惑的), she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits only to return to find that her drink had disappeared. Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks, so as not to make water rings on the end table. Now she knows better. These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family. We were all inclined to (有……的倾向) forgetfulness, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find that every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly. "Do you remember what I was doing?" was a question frequently asked, but rarely answered. Now my sister has developed a second-hand love of clean windows, and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet. I try not to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week. |
| 1. Which of the following is TRUE about my mother? |
| A. She enjoyed removing others' drinks. B. She became more and more forgetful. C. She preferred to do everything by herself. D. She wanted to keep her house in good order. |
| 2. My wife could not find her biscuits and drink in my mother a house because _____. |
| A. she had already finished them B. my mother had taken them away C. she forgot where she had left them D. someone in my family was holding them |
| 3. The underlined part in the fifth paragraph suggests that my sister _____. |
| A. is happy to clean windows B. loves to clean used windows C. is fond of clean used windows D. likes clean windows as my mother did |
| 4. This passage mainly tells us that _____. |
| A. my mother often made us confused B. my family members had a poor memory C. my mother helped us to form a good habit D. ray wife was surprised when she visited my mother |

| It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately,such moments are usually not obvious (明显的) to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain place, no one will be wiser. When such moments occur, don't worry about them. Just continue if nothing happened. Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn't really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther Kings famous speech-"I have a Dream", you may notice that he stumbles (结巴) over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don't remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making. People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication (交流). They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice- skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performance. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker's ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker's attractiveness by making him more human. As you work on your speech, don't worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely. |
| 1. The underlined part in the first paragraph means chat no one will _____. |
| A. be smarter than you B. notice your mistakes C. do better than you D. know what you are talking about |
| 2. You don't remember obvious mistakes in a speech because _____. |
| A. your attention is on the content B. you don't fully understand the speech C. you don't know what the speaker plans to say D. you find the way of speech-making more important |
| 3. It can be inferred from the passage that _____. |
| A. giving a speech is like giving a performance B. one or two mistakes in a speech may not be had C. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is made D. the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be |
| 4. What would be the best title for the passage? |
| A. How to Be a Perfect Speaker B. how to Make a Perfect Speech C. Don't Expect a Perfect Speech D. Don't Expect Mistakes in a Speech |
