| Shopping habits in the United States have changed greatly in the last quarter of the 20th century. 1 in the 1900s most American towns and cities had a Main Street. Main Street was always in the heart of a town. This street was 2 on both sides with many 3 businesses. Here, shoppers walked into stores to look at all sorts of merchandise: clothing, furniture, hardware, groceries. 4 ,some shops offered 5 . These shops included drugstores, restaurants, shoe-repair stores, and barber or hairdressing shops. 6 in the 1950s, a change began to 7 .Too many automobiles had crowded into Main Street 8 too few parking places were 9 shoppers.

| The Sistine Chapel Ceiling painted by Michelangelo is one of the most famous artworks of the High Renaissance. Now the great master's original has been recreated by simple cross-stitching (十字绣). It took Michelangelo four years-from 1508 to 1512-to complete the Sistine Chapel Ceiling. Its cross-stitch reproduction, however, took four more years to copy in all its amazing detail. Joanna Lopianowski-Roberts, a Canadian needle worker, 44, spent at least one hour every day with the work on her lap. By committing a total of 3,572 hours, which her husband Aaron Roberts accurately timed on a stopwatch, her dream became a reality. The extraordinary project started in October 1995. During the years that followed, Joanna would face several challenges that brought her close to giving up completely. As is the method with cross-stitching, Joanna had to pre-design an outline for each painting of the Sistine Chapel Ceiling and then fill in all of the 45 sections with color and detail by stitching. To get the detail right for each painting, Joanna had to get an individual close-up (特写照片) of each piece which came from several different sources. She even bought books from Rome to make sure she had an accurate depiction (描绘) of every part of Michelangelo' s work. "It was really hard and I had a lot of false starts," she said. "I even considered stopping. After many starts and retries, I decided in late 2001 that if I didn't set a commitment to myself of stitching an average of one hour every day, I'd never finish." Joanna's Sistine Chapel, which measures 40 inches by 80 inches, is now kept safely at her home. And despite holding the item close to her heart, she says she would sell it to the right buyer for the right price. Her accomplishment has now been documented in Joanna's book In the Footsteps of Michelangelo: The Sistine Chapel Ceiling in Cross Stitch which acts as a guide for other would-be stitchers to try themselves. |

| A. make the reproduction correct in every detail B. improve her painting skill C. learn cross-stitching from Italians D. comfort and amuse herself |
| 4. Which of the following is TRUE about Joanna? |
| A. She never thought of giving up the work. B. She worked under her husband's instruction. C. She was writing a book on Michelangelo. D. She decided to sell her cross-stitch work. |

| Whether you're considering a first cell phone for your teen or trying to limit various functions on your child's existing cell phone, it's important to understand the various controls and technologies available today. The decision to get your child's first cell phone usually occurs when you're annoyed by your kid, who insists that "everyone" has one. Whether that's accurate or not is probably of little interest to your child, but it's typically his or her biggest selling point! Often parents recognize the safety features of the child's carrying a cell phone, including the ability to communicate easily with parents by voice or text messaging. Convenience is also a large factor -knowing where in the mall to meet your child, or getting the notice that soccer practice has been delayed. It leads to efficiency, convenience and safety for both you and your child. But what about the downsides (负面影响) to kid cell-phone usage? Well, there're plenty of issues to consider, and the following tips should be of help. Start small. When thinking about getting your child's first phone, consider having your child first use your cell phone for occasions when you'll need to know the time and place for pickup, or in cases of emergency. If the youngster handles your cell phone appropriately, consider allowing the child to have his or her own phone with a small amount of voice minutes or text capability (容量) each month. This also helps teach budgeting. Practice together. Practice voice messaging and text messaging with your child. Both of you need to become skillful at these techniques, and your child needs to see that you understand how to check his or her texts, when the phone is being used and also who they're communicating with. |
| 1. In the view of the author, ________. |
| A. every child should have his or her own cell phone B. children should not use adults' cell phones C. adults should be clear about whom their kids contact D. most adults are not familiar with functions of their cell phones |
| 2. When the author advises parents to start small, he means that parents should ________. |
| A. set a limit, on the phone bill B. buy cell phones of small size C. not use cell phones frequently D. not teach teens to use cell phones |
| 3. We can learn from the passage that________. |
| A. it's a waste of money for children to use cell phones B. cell phones give children lots of benefits C. it's impossible for people to go without cell phones nowadays D. most children pay their phone bills by themselves |
| 4. The passage mainly intends to ________. |
| A. advise buying teen cell phones B. point out cell phones' advantages C. help teens choose cell phones D. offer parents some useful advice |

| A team of Japanese scientists has discovered genes that enable rice to survive high water, providing hope for better rice production in lowland areas that are affected by flooding. The genes, called SNORKEL genes, help rice grow longer stems to deal with higher water levels. Deepwater rice generally produces low-yield (低产的) rice plants. But the researchers report they have succeeded in introducing the genes to rice varieties that are higher-yield. According to the report, as water levels rise, accumulation of the plant hormone (激素) ethylene (乙烯) makes the SNORKEL genes start working, making stem growth more rapid. When the researchers introduced the genes into rice that does not normally survive in deep water, they were able to rescue the plants from drowning. Motoyuki Ashikari, who headed the project, said his team is-hoping to use the gene on long grain rice widely used in Southeast Asian to help stabilize production in flood-prone (易受洪水袭击的) areas where rice with the flood-resistant gene is low in production ---about one---third to one-quarter that of regular rice. " Scientifically, the gene that we found is rare but clear proof of a biological ability to adapt to a harsh environment," he said. "It's a genetic strategy specifically to survive flooding." High water levels in rice field can be a serious problem. In some areas, rains can cause water levels to rise dangerously high during the growing season and flash flooding can fully submerge plants for days or even weeks. Rice is a main food for billions, and while productivity has increased dramatically since the 1960s, yields must be doubled to meet projected requirements by 2050. More than 30 percent of Asian and 40 percent of African rice land is either lowland field or deepwater field. Laurentius of Utrecht University said the study is significant because high-yield rice varieties cannot survive extremes of floods. "The introduction of these genes into high-yield varieties, using advanced breeding strategies, promises to improve the quality and quantity of rice," he said. |
| 1. What is the main character of SNORKEL genes? |
| A. They prevent rice from being attacked by various diseases. B. They help rice grow taller in highland regions. C. They make rice grow tall enough to survive in deep water. D. They make rice be ripe within a shorter time. |
| 2. According to Ashikari, the rice with the gene his team found ______. |
| A. will be helpful for Southeast Asia B. has been widely used in Southeast Asia C. will be one third more expensive than regular rice D. is lower in production than regular rice |
| 3. The underlined word"submerge"in the sixth paragraph probably means _____. |
| A. cover B. damage C. produce D. kill |
| 4. What Laurentius said in the last paragraph suggests that_____. |
| A. rice will be planted on the farmland everywhere in the future B. rice with SNORKEL genes will be of high quality in the future C. high-yield rice varieties are not common nowadays D. the quality of rice is difficult to improve |

| I first met Richard Sandor around 10 years ago when discussions about creating a global carbon market began. He's been extremely important to the development of the emissions-trading (排污权交易 )industry since its beginnings. As chief economist for the Chicago Board of Trade in the 1970s, he had helped develop the financial futures (期货) market, and in the late 1980s and early 1990s he all but invented cap-and-trade programs for sulfur dioxide (SO?) emissions, the pollutant that causes acid rain. The methodology was simple: the government puts a cap, or an upper limit on SO? emissions and then the market takes over, with companies that can economically reduce SO? on their own allowed to sell emissions fights to those that can't. Doing the same thing with greenhouse emissions was the logical next step, and from the 1992 Earth Summit on, Sandor was at the forefront of those efforts, launching the Chicago and the European Climate Exchanges, where companies could meet to trade carbon. Sandor is a creator and a great promoter of new markets, and he has the vision, to create something out of nothing. He doesn't just work at the level of theory, but encourages others to get involved. And he's always been good at making money. He realized that if we built enthusiasm in a market for actually valuing the reduction of carbon emissions-and the global carbon market is already worth more than $30 billion-we'd remember for decades to come as a true pioneer-a man who used the power of financial incentives (激励)as a force for change. |
| 1. The first paragraph is developed________. |
| A. by space B. in order of importance C. by time D. by comparison |
| 2. According to Para. 1, who will buy emission rights? |
| A. The government. B. The market. C. Companies that can reduce SO? emission. D. Companies that can't reduce SO? emission. |
| 3. We can learn from the passage that Richard Sandor _______. |
| A. is trying to make the reduction of carbon emissions profitable B. always works in a way that is not practical C. is a man of imagination rather than action D. is strongly against developing industry |
| 4. The author writes the passage in a tone of_______. |
| A. praise B. sympathy C. doubt D. regret |
