| A university math tutor has discovered the science behind "singledom",finding that our chances of finding the perfect partner are just 1 in 285,000.Peter Backus,a tutor at the University of Warwick,published his "Why I Don't Have a Girlfriend" paper after a threeyear love drought. His unconventional study uses a famous math formula called The Drake Equation (德雷克等式),which was first used to estimate the existence of extraterrestrial (地球以外) life. The results don't look promising for British singles.30yearold Mr Backus found that out of the 30 million women in the UK,only 26 would be suitable girlfriends for him. The dull equation takes into account the number of women aged 24 to 34, living in his home city of London,and who are single,meaning his chances of meeting his dream woman on a night out are slim. The economics expert said: " There are 26 women in London with whom I might have a wonderful relationship.So, on a given night out in London there is a 0.0000034% chance of meeting one of these special people.That's a 1 in 285,000 chance,so it's not great." The puzzling Drake equation reads: N＝R* x Fp x Ne x Fi x Fc x L,and helped pioneering scientist Professor Drake to predict that there could be 10,000 civilizations in our galaxy. Mr Backus simply replaced the original equation with his own criteria for a dream date,which included the percentage of women likely to find him attractive,and the number of girls aged 24～34 in London.He said:"The research may sound depressing to people looking for love,but the_good_news_for_singles is,it's probably not your fault!" |
| 1．Mr Backus' discovery in this passage is mainly concerned about________. |
| A．whether there exists life out of our planet B．the possibility of his being able to find love C．how to get rid of singledom D．what math can do to serve our daily life |
| 2．What does Mr Backus think of the result of his research? |
| A．Optimistic. B．Depressing. C．Unrealistic. D．Exciting. |
| 3．What can we learn from the first paragraph? |
| A．Mr Backus' major research field is "singledom"． B．Mr Backus found a girlfriend three years ago. C．Mr Backus' new thesis will surely be well received. D．Mr Backus has been searching for love for long. |
| 4．By "the good news for singles" in the last sentence,Mr Backus probably mean________. |
| A．you don't have to blame yourself for remaining single B．maybe the discovery is not reliable at all C．the result was based on his own criteria D．there might be more dream date out of London |
| 5．Which of the following statements is true? |
| A．This passage could be published in a scientific magazine. B．The passage intends to prove there are other civilizations. C．The writer doesn't really understand the Drake equation. D．Most women in London are not suitable for university teachers. |

| The year was 1985.Ronald Reagan was president.Mikhail Gorbachev became leader of the USSR. Back to the Future was boffo at the box office."Born in the USA" was climbing the charts.Philanthropy (慈善业) and pop culture combined with LiveAid and "We Are the World. " And " .com ", which few people outside of the military or universities knew,came into this world. Looking back,few could have predicted ".com" would become one of the biggest cultural touchstones of the century.In March 1985,the Information Sciences Institute at the University of Southern California assigned the first.com domain address to symbolics.com.That seemingly nominal (象征性的) event set into motion forces that would change our world forever. .com wasn't the birth of the Internet,but it was the budding computer network's comingout party.It made it pretty and inviting.It did away with the need to have complex "maps" that were the equivalent of writing a phone number on your hand,and opened it up for a mainstream audience. After 1985,all it takes is a simple.com name to get into business.".com" became part of our daily lexicon and drove its own economic boom and depression. It helped create a whole new family of industries, facilitated global commerce and connected people around the world in ways never before possible. It's now 2010.Barack Obama is president,thanks in part to his smart use of the Internet.There is no USSR.A computergenerated Avatar has set new box office records."TiK ToK" tops the charts.We're sending robots to find water on Mars.And that onceobscure computer communications system is one of our civilization's most prominent features. |

| The World Trade Organization came into existence in the 1990s.It operates a system of trade rules.It serves as a place for nations to settle disagreements and negotiate agreements to reduce trade barriers.The newest of its 150 members,Vietnam,joined in January. But the roots of the WTO date back to World War Two and the years that followed. In 1944, the International Monetary (货币的) Conference agreed to create the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.But they could not agree on an organization to deal with international trade. Three years later,in 1947,twentythree nations approved the General Agreement on Tariffs (关税) and Trade,or GATT.It_was_meant_to_be_temporary.Trade negotiations under GATT were carried out in a series of talks called rounds.The first round lowered import taxes on onefifth of world trade.Later rounds produced additional cuts,and negotiators added more issues. The sixth round began in 1963.It was called the Kennedy Round after the murder of President John F．Kennedy.The results included an agreement against trade dumping.This is when one country sells a product in another country at an unfairly low price. The eighth round of talks began in Punta del Este,Uruguay,in 1986.The Uruguay Round lasted almost twice as long as planned.In all,123 nations took part in sevenandahalf years of work.They set time limits for future negotiations.They also agreed to create a permanent system to settle trade disagreements. In April of 1994,most of those 123 nations signed an agreement.It replaced GATT with the World Trade Organization. The WTO launched a new round on development issues in Doha,Qatar,in November of 2001.These talks were supposed to end by January of 2005. But negotiators could not agree on issues involving agricultural protections.The current round has been suspended since last July. |

| The Ivy League is an athletic conference comprising eight private institutions of higher education in the Northeastern United States.The term is most commonly used to refer to those eight schools considered as a group.The term is also connected with academic excellence,selectivity in admissions,and social elitism (精英主义)． The term became official,especially in sports terminology,after the formation of the NCAA Division I athletic conference in 1954,when much of the nation polarized around favorite college teams."IV" was used because originally the league consisted only of four members.The use of the phrase is no longer limited to a thletics,and now represents an educational philosophy inherent to the nation's oldest schools.In addition,Ivy League schools are often viewed by the public as some of the most prestigious universities worldwide and are often ranked amongst the best universities in the United States and worldwide.The eight institutions are Brown University,Columbia University,Cornell University,Dartmouth College,Harvard University,Princeton University,the University of Pennsylvania,and Yale University. All of the Ivy League's institutions place near the top in the US News & World Report college and university rankings and rank within the top one percent of the world's academic institutions in terms of financial endowment (捐助)．Seven of the eight schools were founded during America's colonial period； the exception is Cornell,which was founded in 1865.Ivy League institutions,therefore,account for seven of the nine Colonial Colleges chartered before the American Revolution.The Ivies are all in the Northeast geographic region of the United States.All eight schools receive millions of dollars in research grants and other subsidies from federal and state government. Undergraduate enrollments among the Ivy League schools range from about 4,000 to 14,000,making them larger than those of a typical private liberal arts college and smaller than a typical public state university.Ivy League university financial endowments range from Brown's $2.01 billion to Harvard's $26 billion,the largest financial endowment of any academic institution in the world. |

| [1] World Consumer Rights Day is celebrated annually by consumer organizations worldwide. It commemorates the historic declaration on March 15,1962 by John F．Kennedy,the former US President, of the basic Rights of consumers,which include: "the right to safety","the right to be informed","the right to choose",and "the right to be heard"． [2]This_declaration_has_led_to_international_recognition_by_governments_and_the_United_Nations_ that_all_citizens,regardless of their_incomes_or_social_standing,have_certain_basic Rights_as_consumers.Officially,World Consumer Rights Day was first observed on March 15,1983 and has since become an important occasion for mobilizing citizen action,with recognition of consumer rights taking off around the world.On April 9,1985,the United Nations Assembly General Assembly adopted the UN Guidelines for Consumer Protection that provide a framework for strengthening national consumer protection policies around the world. [3] The guidelines included Kennedy's four basic consumer rights plus another four: the right to satisfaction of basic needs；the right to redress (赔偿)；the right to education；and the right to a healthy environment.Currently,the fundamental consumer rights are recognized globally. [4]World Consumer Rights Day normally has a theme associated with an activity or development that is relevant to consumers. Whatever their objectives, they share the same underlying aim of bringing about important and needed benefits for consumers. [5] In recent years, progress has been made for recognition and protection of consumer rights in developing countries.At least,March 15 is a day when consumers are filled with pride and satisfaction. However,there are many reports on violation of consumer rights by unethical marketing practices. |
