Mad Scientist Stereotype Outdated
Do people still imagine a physicist as a bearded man in glasses or has the image of the mad scientist changed? The Institute of Physics set out to find out whether the stereotype of a physics‘boffin’(科学家)still exists by conducting a survey on shoppers in London．The people were asked to identify the physicist from a photograph of a line-up of possible suspects．98 percent of those asked got it wrong．The majority of people picked a white male of around 60，wearing
glasses and with a white beard．
While this stereotype may have been the image of all average physicist fifty years ago，the reality is now very different Since 1960 the number of young women entering physics has doubled and the average age of a physicist is now 31．
The stereotype of the absent-minded scientist has lasted a long time because the media and Hollywood help promote the image of men in white lab coats with glasses sitting by blackboards full of equations(等式)or working with fizzing(嘶嘶响)test tubes．These stereotypes are really damaging to society．Very good school children are put off studying science because they don’t see people like themselves on television or in magazines doing science．They simply don’t relate to the media’s image of the mad scientist．
This is one reason why fewer young people are choosing to do science at university．If we want to encourage more young people to study science subjects，we need to change this image of the scientist and make science careers more attractive．But we must also develop children’s interest in science．
In an attempt to change this negative image，an increasing number of science festivals are being organized．Thousands of people from secondary schools are also encouraged to take part in the internationwide science competitions of which the most popular are the national science Olympiads．Winning national teams then get the opportunity to take part in the International Science Olympiads which are held in a different county every year．These events are all interesting for the young people who take part but they only involve a small proportion of students who are already interested in science．It seems that there is a long way to go before science becomes attractive as subjects like computer studies or fashion and design．
16 Most people have similar ideas of what a physicist looks like．
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
17 The majority of physicists in Britain today are Cambridge graduates
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
18 The media and the cinema have played a role in promoting the image of the mad scientist．

Cloning(克隆)：Future Perfect?
1 A clone is all exact copy of a plant or animal produced from any one cell. Since Scottish scientists reported that they had managed to clone a sheep named Dolly in 1997，research into cloning has grown rapidly．In May 1998，scientists in Massachusetts managed to create two identical calves(牛犊)using cloning technology．A mouse has also been cloned successfully， But the debate over cloning humans really started when Chicago physicist Richard Seed made a surprising announcement：“We will have managed to clone a human being within the next two years，”he told the world．
2 Seed’S announcement provoked a lot of media attention，most of it negative．In Europe，nineteen nations have already signed an agreement banning human cloning and in the US the President announced：”We will be introducing a law to ban all human cloning and many states in the US will have passed anti-cloning laws by the end of the year．’’
3 Many researchers are not so negative about cloning，They are worried that laws banning human cloning will threaten important research．In March，The New England Journal of Medicine called any plan to ban research on cloning humans seriously mistaken．Many researchers also believe that in spite of attempts to ban it，human cloning will have become routine by 2010 because it is impossible to stop the progress of science．
4 Is there reason to fear that cloning will lead to a nightmare world? The public has been bombarded(轰炸)with newspaper articles，television shows and films，as well as cartoons．Such information is often misleading，and makes people wonder what on earth the scientists will be doing next．Within the next five to ten years scientists will probably have found a way of cloning humans. It could be that pretty soon we will be able to choose the person that we want our child to look like．But how would it feel to be a clone among hundreds，the anti-cloners ask．Pretty cool, answer the pr-cloners(赞成克隆的人)．
第4部分：阅读理解(第31～45题，每题3分，共45分)
下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题，每道题后面有4个选项。请根据文章的内容从每题所给的4个选项中选择1个最佳答案，涂在答题卡相应的位置上。
第一篇 More Than a Ride to School
The National Education Association claims．“The school bus is a mirror of the community．”They further add that，unfortunately, what appears on the exterior does not always reflect the reality of a chosen community．They are right--sometimes it reflects more! Just ask Liesl Denson. Riding the school bus has been more than a ride to school for Liesl．
Bruce Hardy．school bus driver for Althouse BUS Company has been Liesl’s bus driver since kindergarten．Last year when Liesl’s family moved to Parkesburg，knowing her bus went by her new residence。she requested to ride the same bus
This year Liesl is a senior and will enjoy her last year riding the bus．She says，”It’s been a great ride so far! My bus driver is so cool and has always been a good friend and a good listener．Sometimes when you’re a child adults do not think that what you have to say is important．Mr.Hardy always listens to what you have to say and makes you feel important．”Her friends Ashley Batista and Amanda Wolfe agree．
Bruce Hardy has been making Octorara students feel special since 1975. This year he will celebrate 30 years working for Althouse Bus Company，Larry Althouse，president of the company, acknowledges Bruce Hardy’s outstanding record：“You do not come by employees like Bruce these days. He has never missed a day of work and has a perfect driving record．He was recognized in 2000 by the Pennsylvania School Bus Association for driving 350,000 accident free miles．Hardy’s reputation is made further evident through the relationships he has made with the students that ride his bus．”
Althouse further adds，“Althouse Bus Company was established 70 years ago and has been providing quality transportation ever since．My grandfather started the business with one bus．Althouse Bus Company is delighted to have the opportunity to bring distinctive and safe service to our local school and community and looks forward to continuing to provide quality service for many more years to come．”
Three generations of business is not all the company has enjoyed．Thanks to drivers like Bruce Hardy，they have been building relationships through generations，Liesl’s mother Carol also enjoys fond memories of riding Bruce Hardy’s bus to the Octorara School District．
31 The word“mirror’’in the first line could be best replaced by
A “vehicle”
B “device”

A employing young drivers
B running quality schools
C providing free driving lessons

第二篇 A Phone That Knows You’re Busy
It’s a modern problem：you’re too busy to be disturbed by incessant(连续不断的)phone calls so you turn your cellphone off .But if you don’t remember to turn it back on when you’re less busy．you could miss some important calls if only the phone knew when it was wise to interrupt you，you wouldn’t have to turn it off at all. Instead，it could let calls through when you are not too busy
A bunch of behavior sensors(传感器)and a clever piece of software could do just that，by analyzing your behavior to determine if it’s a good time to interrupt you．If built into a phone，the system may decide you’re too busy and ask the caller to leave a message or ring back later．
James Fogarty and Scott Hudson at Camegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania based their system oil tiny microphones，cameras and touch sensors that reveal body language and activity．First they had to study different behaviors to find out which ones stongly predict whether your mind is interrupted.
The potential“busyness”signals they focused on included whether the office doors were left open or closed，the time of day，if other people were with the person in question，how close they were to each other, and whether or not the computer was in use．
The sensors monitored these and many other factors while four subjects were at work . At random intervals，the subjects rated how interruptible they were on a scale ranging from“highly interruptible’’to“highly not—interruptible” . Their ratings were then correlated with the various behaviors . “It is a shotgun(随意的)approach：we used all the indicators we could think of and then let statistics find out which were important，” says Hudson.
The model showed that using the keyboard，and talking on a landline or to someone else in the office correlated most strongly with how interruptible the subjects judged themselves to be．
Interestingly，the computer was actually better than people at predicting when someone was too busy to be interrupted . The computer got it right 82 per cent of the time，humans 77 per cent．Fogarty speculates that this might be because people doing the interrupting are inevitably biased towards delivering their message，whereas computers don’t care．
The first application for Hudson and Fogarty’s system is likely to be in an instant messaging system，followed by office phones and cellphones．“There is no technological roadblock(障碍) to it being deployed in a couple of years，” says Hudson
36 A big problem facing people today is that
A they must tolerate phone disturbances or miss important calls．
B they must turn off their phones to keep their homes quiet．
C they have to switch from a desktop phone to a cellphone．
D they are too busy to make phone calls．
37 The behavior sensor and software system built in a phone
A could help store messages．
B could send messages instantly
C could tell when it is wise to interrupt you．
D could identify important phone calls．
38 Scientists at Carnegie Menon University tried to find out
A why office doors were often 1eft open．
B when it was a good time to turn off the computer．
C what questions office workers were bothered with．
D which behaviors could tell whether a person was busy
39 During the experiment，the subjects were asked
A to control the sensors and the camera．
B to rate the degrees to which they could be interrupted．
C to compare their behaviors with others’.
D to analyze all the indicators of interruption．
40 The computer performed better than people in the study because
A the computer worked harder．
B the computer was not busy
C people tended to be biased．
D people were not good at statistics．
第三篇 The Exploding Lakes of Cameroon
What comes to mind when you think of a lake? You probably imagine a pretty scene with blue water，birds，and fish．For the people in the northwestern Cameroon，however, the image is very different. For them，lakes may mean terrible disasters. In 1984，poisonous gases exploded out of Lake Monoun and came down into the nearby villages，killing thirty—seven people．Two years later,Lake Nyos erupted A cloud of gases rolled down the hills and into the valleys and
killed 1,700 people．
Lake Nyos and Lake Monoun are crater(火山口)lakes They were formed when water collected in the craters of old volcanoes The volcanoes under Lake Nyos and Lake Monoun are not active anymore. However, poisonous gases from the center of the earth continue to flow up through cracks in the bottom of the lake. This is normal in a crater lake. In most crater lakes，these gases are released often because the water‘turns over’regularly．That is，the water from the bottom of the lake rises and mixes with the water at the top，allowing the gases to escape slowly．
However，in Lakes Nyos and Monoun，there is no regular turning over．No one knows the reason for this fact，but as a result，these lakes have more gases tapped at the bottom than other crater lakes. In fact，scientists who have studied Lakes Nyos and Monoun have found 16,000 times more gases．When a strong wind，cool weather a storm，or a landslide(滑坡)causes the water to turn over suddenly，the gases escape in a violent explosion．
In the past，no one knew when the gases might explode，so there was no way for the villagers to escape disaster. Now scientists from the United States，France，and Cameroon have found a way to reduce the gas pressure at the bottom of Lake Nyos．They stood a 672-foot plastic pipe in the middle of the lake，with one end of the pipe near the bottom and the other end in the air．Near the top of the pipe，the team put several holes that could be opened or closed by a computer．Now，when the gas pressure gets too high，the holes are opened and some of the gas-filled water shoots up through the pipe into the air like a fountain．With less pressure，a disastrous explosion is much less likely．However, the scientists are not sure that one pipe will be enough to prevent explosions．They hope to put in others soon and they plan to install a similar pipe and a computer system at Lake Monoun as well．
To protect people nearby until all of the pipes are in place．the scientists have installed early warning systems at both lakes. If the gas pressure rises to a dangerous level，computers will set off loud sirens(警报)and bright lights to warn the people in the villages．That way, they will have time to escape from the dangerous gases．
41 What will happen when Lake Nyos and Lake Monoun explode?
A Water will flow down the hills
B Poisonous gases will be released suddenly．
C A strong wind will rise from the lakes
D The volcanoes will come to life．
42 Which of the following statements about Lake Nyos and Lake Monoun is true?
A They were formed in 1984．
B They are at the top of two active volcanoes．
C They are not like most other crater lakes．
D Water in them turns over regularly．
43 Lake Nyos and Lake Monoun explode because
A the gases rise to the top and mix with air．
B people from the villages turn over the water．
C scientists have put in a computer system．
D they have more gases trapped at the bottom than other crater lakes
44 A team of scientists has
A erected a pressure-releasing pipe in the lake
B identified the gases at the bottom of the lake
C built a beautiful fountain near the lakes
D removed all dangerous gases from the lakes
45 What do we learn from the last paragraph?
A Scientists are planning to install pipes in all crater lakes．
B Scientists still do not know how to prevent gas explosions
C Explosion disasters could be avoided in the future
D Warning systems have been set up in the villages nearby．

Every Dog Has Its Say
Kimiko Fukuda，a Japanese girl，always wondered what her dog was trying to say.
Whenever she put on makeup，it would pull at her sleeve．_____(46)When the dog barks，
she glances at a small electronic gadget (装置)．The following“human”translation appears on its
screen：“Please take me with you．”“I realized that’s how he was feeling．”said Fukuda．
The gadget is called Bowlingual，and it translates dog barks into feelings．People laughed
when the Japanese toymaker Takara Company made the world’s first dog-human translation
machine in 2002．But 300，000 Japanese dog owners bought it．______(47)
“Nobody else had thought about it，”said Masahiko Kajita，who works for Takara“We
spend so much time training dogs to understand our orders；what would it be like if we could
understand dogs?”
Bowlingual has two parts．____(48)The translation is done in the gadget using a database(资料库)containing every kind of bark．
Based on animal behaviour research，these noises are divided into six categories：happiness，
Sadness, frustration，anger，declaration and desire．_____(49)In this way，the database
scientifically matches a bark to an emotion，which is then translated into one of 200 phrases．
When a visitor went to Fukuda’s house recently，the dog barked a loud“bow wow”．This
translated as“Don’t come this way”_____(50)
The product will be available in US pet stores this summer for about US$120 It can store up
to 100 barks，even recording the dog’s emotions when the owner is away．
A A wireless microphone is attached to the dog’s collar,which sends information to the gadget
held by the owner．
B Nobody really knows how a dog feels
C It was followed by“I’m stronger than you”as the dog growled(嗥叫)and sniffed(嗅)at the
visitor
D More customers are expected when the English version is launched this summer
E Now，the Japanese girl thinks she knows
F Each one of these emotions is then linked to a phrase like“Let’s play”，“Look at me”，or
“Spend more time with me”．

Earth’s Inner Core
Scientists have long struggled to understand what lies at the planet’s center, Direct
observation of its center is impossible，so researchers must_____(51)to other evidence．
In 1889，a German scientist detected a severe earthquake in Japan．Geophysicists concluded
that shock waves_____(52)jolts(晃动)from one side of Earth through the center to the
other side．Then in 1936，Danish geophysicist Inge Lehmann studied the waves______(53)
to determine that within Earth’s core of molten(熔化了的)iron lies a solid inner core-but_____
(54)that core was made of eluded(难倒)her．Other geophysicists quickly
determined that Lehmann’s inner core was composed mostly_____(55)iron. Since then，
Lehmann’s discovery has_____(56)conventional Earth science．
But now scientists are challenging traditional theory with new and radical _____(57)
For example，Earth’s center could actually contain an“inner core within the inner core，claim Ishii and colleague Adam Dziewonski．
Analyzing hundreds of thousands of earthquake wave _____(58),they maintain that the inner core has at its heart a tiny, even more solid sphere(球体) . This sphere‘‘may be the oldest fossil____(59)from the formation of Earth，”says Dziewonski．
Dziewonski and Ishii speculate that shortly_____(60) Earth formed around 4.8billion years ago，a giant asteroid(小行星)smashed into the young planet and nearly melted it. But Earth’s center didn’t quite melt；it______(61)mass as the planet cooled. The core within a core may be the kernel(核心)that endured．“Its presence could change our basic ideas about the_____ (62)of the planet，”Dziewonski says idea is tame(温和的)compared to the_____(63)theories of independent geophysicist J．Marvin Herndon．Earth’s inner core is made not of iron，he claims
but a_____(64)of nickel and silicon Hemdon has a truly revolutionary notion：Within the nickel silicide(硅化物)inner core is also an“inner”inner core—an 8 km—wide ball of the element uranium．Uranium is radioactive．Hemdon thinks the uranium releases heat energy as its atoms_____(65)fission-split and crash into another in a chain reaction. In other words,we may live on top of a gigantic, “natural”nuclear power plant.

是否可被打断工作做出评定，评定范围从“完全可以被打断”到“完全不能被打
断”。
40 c 本题和倒数第二段第一句有关，说的是实验中电脑比人表现得好，问原因是
什么?这段最后一句说了，people doing the interrupting are inevitably biased…，即
人有偏见，故c为答案。
41 B 该题问的是Nyos和Monoun两湖喷发时会出现什么情况?第一段第五句提
到，Monoun喷发时有毒气体随之而出。两年后，Nyos湖喷发时也出现类似情况。
故B为答案。
42 c 本题为细节题。问的是关于Nyos和Monoun两湖哪句陈述是正确的?选项A
说的是两湖于1984年形成的，不符合原文意思。选项B的意思是：他们坐落在两
座活活火山上，也与原文意思不符。选项D说的是湖中的水定期翻滚，均与原文
不符。只有选项c正确。
43 D 题句的意思是：Nyos和Monoun两湖发生喷发的原因是什么?前三个选项均
与原文意思不符，答案见第三段第二句。
44 A 本题问的是一队科学家干了什么工作?第四段第三句提到他们在湖里立了一
根释放湖底气压的管子。故A为答案。
45 c 本题问的是在文章最后一段我们了解到了什么?文章最后一段主要讲的是在
所有的湖里竖起缓解湖底气压的管子后，就不会有危险。故选项c为正确答案。
第5部分：补全短文
46 E 文章的第一句话提出了Kimiko Fukuda一直在想的一件事，即狗究竟想表达
什么。紧接着应该给出一个答案是比较符合逻辑的。E就是答案。
47 D 上一句话说的30万日本养狗人已经买了人狗翻译机。符合逻辑的一步是更多
的人还会买。因此D是合理的选项。
48 A 上一句说的是Bowlingual这个装置有两个部分。接着应该是具体说明。A是
对装置的具体说明。
49 F 第五段的第一句话说的是：根据动物行为研究，这些杂音可以分成六类：幸
福；悲痛；受挫；气愤；声称；欲望。因为是人狗翻译机，这些情感还需要跟人 的话对应起来。
50 c 上一句话说的是：当一个客人最近来到Fukuda的屋时，狗大声地叫着“bowr
wow”的声音。因为是在讲人狗翻译机，下面一句话应该讲的是它的翻译。因此c
是对的。
第6部分：完形填空
51 c turn to other evidence：寻求其他证据。Tum to属固定搭配。
52 A create jolts：造成震动。其他几个选项意思不符。
53 D wayes’patterns：波浪的形状。科学家通过研究震波的形状了解地球的情况。
54 B 此处的意思是地心是由什么构成的难倒了她。这里应使用what构成名词性从
旬，作主语。
55 c compose of：由……组成。固定短语。
56 B dominate：占统治地位，支配。Lehamann的发现在传统地球科学领域占统治
地位。
57 A 此处的意思是：现在的科学家正用新的、激进的观点挑战传统的理论。本题
只有填ideas才符合本句的意思。
58 D 此处填records，本句的意思是：通过分析数十万次地震波的记录，他们认
为……。其他几个选项与句意不符。
59 c left：留下来的。此处的意思是：这一球体可能是地球形成时留下来的最古老
的化石。
60 A 依据上下文，应用afte~句子意思才讲得通。
61 c gain：获取。gained mass as the planet cooled：在星球(这里指地球)变冷的
过程中，它逐渐获得了质量。
62 B 本文主要谈地球起源问题，故此处应填ongm。
63 A 本句前面出现的一个词是“tame”，与之对应，应该是“radical”。
64 D nickel和silicon的混合物，compound：混合物。
65 c fission—split：裂变。经历裂变，用动词experience。
