  E1 Nino

  While some forecasting methods had limited success predicting the 1997 E1 Nino a few months in advance, the Columbia University researchers say their method can predict large E1 Nino events up to two years in advance. That would be good news for governments, farmers and others seeking to plan for the droughts and heavy rainfall that E1 Nino can produce in various parts of the world.

  Using a computer the researchers matched sea-surface temperatures to later E1 Nino occurrences between 1980 and 2000 and were then able to anticipate E1 Nino events dating back to 1857, using prior sea-surface temperatures. The results were reported in the latest issue of the journal Nature.

  The researchers say their method is not perfect, but Bryan C. Weare, a meteorologist at the University of California, Davis, who was not involved in the work, said it "suggests E1 Nino is indeed predictable."

  "This will probably convince others to search around more for even better methods." said Weare. He added that the new method "makes it possible to predict E1 Nino at long lead times." Other models also use sea-surface temperatures, but they have not looked as far back because they need other data, which is only available for recent decades, Weare said.

  The ability to predict the warming and cooling of the Pacific is of immense importance. The 1997 E1 Nino, for example, caused an estimated $20 billion in damage worldwide, offset by beneficial effects in other areas, said David Anderson, of the European Centre for Medium. Range Weather Forecasts in Reading England. The 1877 E1 Nino, meanwhile, coincided with a failure of the Indian monsoon and a famine that killed perhaps 40 million in India and China prompting the development of seasonal forecasting, Anderson said.

  When E1 Nino hit in 1991 and 1997, 200 million people were affected by flooding in China alone, according to a 2002 United Nations report.

  While predicting smaller E1 Nino events remains tricky, the ability to predict larger ones should be increased to at least a year if the new method is confirmed.

  E1 Nino tends to develop between April and June and reaches its peak between December and February. The warming tends to last between 9 and 12 months and occurs every two to seven years.

  The new forecasting method does not predict any major E1 Nino events in the next two years, although a weak warming toward the end of this year is possible.

  下面的短文后有2项测试任务:(1)第23—26题要求从所给的6个选项中为指定段落每段选择1个标题;(2)第27-30题要求从所给的6个选项中为每个句子确定一个最佳选项。

  回答题:

  The Science of Sport

  1. At the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, the Chinese athlete Liu Xiang equaled the world record for the 110 metres hurdles (跨栏 ) when he ran the race in 12.91 seconds. This record time had been set in 1993 by British sprinter (短跑运动员 ) Colin Jackson and 9 years went by before another athlete was able to mn as fast.

  2. Record-breaking in all track events is slowing clown and we appear to be moving much closer to the limits of human performance. Nevertheless, every four years, records which were previously thought to be unbeatable are broken. So what's behind this never-ending improvement in performance? And how long can we keep breaking records? Is there a limit to human performance or will athletes continue to gain seconds ?

  3. Most experts agree that it isn't the athletes' bodies which have changed but the huge advances in sport science which have enabled them to improve their performances. The individual athlete obviously has to have the necessary skill and determination to succeed, but the help of science and technology can be significant. Research has brought a better understanding of the athlete's body and mind but the advances in sports equipment technology have also had an important impact on human performance.

  4. Scientists have shown that an athlete's body's needs vary according to the type of sport. This research has helped top sports people to adapt their training programme and diet better to their particular needs. Running the marathon and cycling, for example, are endurance (耐力 ) sports and require a different parathion ( 硝苯硫磷脂 ) to that of a 100-metre sprinter. In some sports, changes in techniques have significantly improved performance.

  5. But in any sport, a player's success or failure results from a combination of both physical and mental abilities. Most coaches use psychological techniques to help their athletes cope with stress and concentrate on their performance. For example, the English football team listens to music in the changing rooms before a game to help the players relax and not feel so nervous. Before a difficult match, tennis players are encouraged to use visualization ( 想象 ) techniques to build confidence and this is almost as good as practice.

  6. But as science begins to dominate sport, are we in danger of losing sight of the heart of the competition, the sporting challenge ? What's more, are all these advantages fair ?

  How to Dress Properly

  Being less than perfectly well-dressed in a business setting can result in a feeling of profound discomfort that may well require therapy to dispel. And the sad truth is that "clothing mismatches" on the job can ruin the day of the person who is wearing the inappropriate attire (着装 ), and the people with whom he or she comes in contact.

  Offices vary when it comes to dress codes. Some businesses have very high standards for their employees and set strict guidelines for office attire, while others maintain a more relaxed attitude. However, it is always important to remember that no matter what your company's attitude is regarding what you wear, you are working in a business environment and you should dress accordingly. Certain items may be more appropriate for evening wear than for a business meeting. Just as shorts and a T-shirt are better suited for the beach than for an office environment, our attire should reflect both your environment and your position. A senior vice

  president has a different image to maintain than that of a secretary or sales assistant. Like it or not, you will be judged by your personal appearance.

  This is never more apparent than on "dress-down days", when what you wear can say more about you than any business suit ever could. In fact, people will pay more attention to what you wear on dress-down days than on "business professional" days. Thus, when dressing in "business casual" clothes, try to put some flair into your wardrobe choices, recognizing that the "real" definition of business casual is to dress just one notch ( 等级 ) down from what you would normally wear on business-professional attire days.

  Remember, there are boundaries between your career and your social life. You should dress one way for play and another way when you mean business. Always ask yourself where you are going and how other people will be dressed when you get there. Is the final destination the opera, the beach, or the office? Dress accordingly and you will discover the truth in the axiom ( 公理 ) that clothes make the man and the woman. When in doubt, always err on the side of dressing slightly more conservatively than the situation demands.

  31

  What is the passage mainly about?

  A.What is the difference between professional and casual dress?

  The Function of Adverts

  Most people would protably agree that many individual consumer adverts function on the level of the daydream. By picturing quite unusually happy and glamorous people whose success in either career or sexual terms, or both, is obvious, adverts construct an imaginary world in which the reader is able to make come true those desires which remain unsatisfied in his or her everyday life.

  An advert for a science fiction magazine is unusually explicit about this. In addition to the primary use value of the magazine, the reader is promised access to a wonderful universe through the product-access to other mysterious and tantalizing worlds and epochs, the realms of the imagination. When studying advertising, it is therefore unreasonable to expect readers to decipher adverts as factual statements about reality. Most adverts are just too meager in informative content and too rich in emotional suggestive detail to be read literally. If people read them literally, they would soon be forced to realize their error when the glamorous promises held out by the adverts didn't materialize.

  The average consumer is not surprised that his purchase of the commodity does not redeem the promise of the advertisement, for this is what he is used to in life: the individual's pursuit of happiness and success is usually in vain. But the fantasy is his to keep; in his dream world he enjoys a "future endlessly deferred" .

  The Estivalia advert company is quite explicit about the fact that advertising shows us not reality, but a fantasy; it does so by openly admitting the daydream but in a way which insists on the existence of a bridge linking daydream to reality-Estivalia, which is "for daydream believers", those who refuse to give up trying to make the hazy ideal of natural beauty and harmony come true.

  If adverts function on the daydream level, it clearly becomes inadequate to merely condemn advertising for channeling readers' attention and desires towards unrealistic, paradisiacal ( 天堂似得 ) nowhere land. Advertising certainly does that, but in order for people to find it relevant, the Utopia ( 乌托邦 ) visualized in adverts must be linked to our surrounding reality by a causal connection.

  36

  A.glamorous

  B.arrogant

  C.obvious

  D.sexy

  参考答案:A

  A.the consumer is used to the fact that the individual's pursuit of happiness and success is usually in vain

  B.adverts are factual statements about reality

  C.the consumer can come into the realms of imagination pictured by adverts

  D.adverts can make the consumer's dream come true

  参考答案:A

  参考解析:

  【解析】本题设在第三段第一句话,for引导原因状语从句:for this is what he is used to in life:the individual’s pursuit of happiness and success is usually in vain.在生活中他对此早已习惯了,他对幸福和成功的追求通常都是以失败而结束。

  38 Why does the consumer accept the daydream in adverts?

  A.Because the consumer enjoys a "future endlessly deferred" .

  B.Because the consumer enjoys up trying to make his dream come true.

  C.Because the Utopia is visualized in adverts.

  D.Because his purchase of the commodity does not redeem the promise of the advertisement.

  根据以下材料回答题:

  Age Discrimination

  By the year 2000 nearly half the workforce in Europe are over 40 and yet throughout Europe there is a deep ambivalence ( 犹豫 )-if not outright suspicion-towards the capabilities of older workers.

  Those over the age of 40 generally take longer to find new employment, but European governments have done little to protect their employment rights. Only Germany, with incentives to business to encourage the employment of older people, and France, with the introduction of legislation making it illegal to use age barriers in recruitment-or to make employees redundant because of their age done anything substantive to combat age discrimination.

  Yet even in these two countries, there has been no noticeable improvement in the lot of the older workers; indeed, in France, job advertisements flout ( 轻视,反对 ) the law openly by asking for applicants of a certain age. So, should France and Germany be tightening up their laws and should the rest of Europe follow suit?

  Bill Robbins, a careers consultant said, "Legislation against age discrimination has been in existence for well over ten year in the U.S. and Canada, but has had no effect. Employers will always be able to find some reasons for turning down an older applicant without appearing to break the law."

  Ironically, it was governments which played a leading role in hardening business culture against older workers in the first place. In the late 1970s, many European countries were extremely concerned about the levels of youth unemployment, and France, Germany and Belgium even initiated incentive schemes for businesses to encourage older employees to take early retirement provided that younger trainees were taken on in their place. As more and more employees took early retirement, often willingly, a new, youth-oriented culture permeated business throughout most of Europe-even in those countries that had taken no active measures to promote it.

  Demographic ( 人口统计学的 ) trends mean that governments are now anxious to slow down the policy of early retirement as they realize that they simply do not have the funds to meet their pension promises. But reversing business attitudes is no easy matter. Dianah Worman a policy adviser said, "There is a widely held belief that older people are less, adaptable and trainable. This is just not true: research has shown that differences in capability are as wide within age groups as they are between them."

  41

  Which of the following words can best describe the European attitude to older workers?

  A.Dislike.

  B.Disapproval.

  C.Distrust.

  D.Disappointment.

  参考答案:C

  参考解析:

  【解析】从文章第一段可以看出欧洲人对年龄较大的工作者存在着不信任的态度,suspicion(怀疑)即是distrust(不信任)。

  第41题 笔记记录我的笔记(0) | 精选笔记(0)

  42 France, U.S. and Canada have all taken which of the following steps to discourage age discrimination?

  A.Encourage businesses to employ older people by offering rewards.

  B.Make age discrimination in respect of employment illegal.

  C.Enforce age discrimination laws strictly.

  D.Refuse to employ younger workers.

  参考答案:B

  参考解析:

  【解析】文章第二段说法国的做法是通过立法,第四段说美国和加拿大反对年龄歧视的立法已经有十几年了,因此可见就业方面年龄歧视非法化是这三个国家的共同做法。

  43 This passage is aimed to__________

  A.create more job opportunities for older workers

  B.tell older workers how to solve their problems

  C.call for European governments' concern about older workers' problem

  D.reveal the importance of legislation against age discrimination

  参考答案:C

  参考解析:

  【解析】文章第一段和第二段第一句话都明确指出年龄大的人在求职时面临的问题,但欧洲各国并没有努力去保障他们的就业权利,由此可见文章是在呼吁各国政府关注这一问题。

  44 What did governments do to discourage the employment of older workers in the 1970s?

  A.Offer early retirement to all employees.

  B.Set specific age limits for employment.

  C.Only employ younger trainees.

  回答题:

  What's Lacking in "Sicko" ?

  When it comes to economic decisions, there are always trade offs ( 取舍 ). Gain one thing and you lose something else. 46

  The central argument of Michael Moore's movie "Sicko" -that the cure to the nation health care problems is a single-payer system-is hardly novel and is certainly worth consideration, whether or not you agree with it. But in comparing the American system with single-payer plans of other countries-Britain, France, Canada and Cuba Mr. Moore left out the trade-offs, characterizing those countries as health care paradises. 47 Kurt Loder, the film critic who is best known as the anchor ( 主持人 ) of "MTV News" , wrote a critique (批评 ) of the film for MTV's website. " Sicko," he said, "does a real service" in portraying ( 描绘 ) victims of American insurance companies'-like the people, who died because their only treatment options were considered "experimental" and therefore not covered. 48

  When "governments attempt to regulate the balance between a limited supply of health care and an unlimited demand for it, they're inevitably forced to ration treatment" . Mr. Loder asserted. 49 Mr. Loder cited the short film "Dead Meat" , which presents anecdotes ( 轶事 ) of failure. In the Canadian single-payer system in its one-sidedness, "Dead Meat" , might have made for a nice double feature with "Sicko", and left movie-goers with a more complete understanding of the complications of deciding on a health care system ,50

  This all makes an otherwise "emotionally compelling film not necessarily an intellectually satisfying one, "wrote Darren Barefoot, a Canadian blogger. ( 博客作者 ).

  A.This is particularly true in health care, a market in which scarce (稀罕的 ) goods are ridiculously expensive, but needed by everybody.

  B.Mr. Moore also decided to ignore problems in other countries, like France's high taxes and Britain's cash-short hospitals.

  C.But the film as a whole, he concluded, is "breathtakingly meretricious ( 似是而非的 ), " in large part because of its characterizations of other countries 'health care systems.

  D.The problems have been noticed-and criticism is coming not just from Mr. Moore's detractors ( 诋毁者).

  E.He ticked off a number of negative statistics to counter the positive ones offered by Mr. Moore.

  F.Health care is the prevention, treatment, and management of illness.

  Exercise Being Good or Bad

  Can exercise be a bad thing? Sudden death during or soon after strenuous exertion on the squash court or on the army training grounds, is not unheard of. 51 trained marathon runners are not immune to fatal heart attacks. But no one knows just 52 common these sudden deaths linked to exercise are. The registration and

  investigation of such 53 is very patchy; only a national survey could determine the true 54 of sudden deaths in sports. But the climate of medical opinion is shifting in 55 of exercise, for the person recovering from a heart attack as 56 as the average lazy individual. Training can help the victim of a heart attack by

  lowering the 57 of oxygen the heart needs at any given level of work 58 the patient can do more before reaching the point where chest pains indicate a heart starved of oxygen. The question is, should middle-aged people, 59 .particular, be screened for signs of heart disease before 60 vigorous exercise?

  Most cases of sudden death in sport are caused by lethal arrhythmias in the beating of the heart, often in people 61 undiagnosed coronary heart disease. In North America 62 over 35 is advised to have a physical check-up and even an exercise electrocardiogram. The British, on the whole, think all this testing is

  unnecessary. Not many people die from exercise, 63 , and ECGs ( 心电图 ) are notoriously inaccurate. However, two medical cardiologists at the Victoria Infirmary in Glasgow, advocate screening by exercise ECG for people over 40, or younger people 64 at risk of developing coronary heart disease. Individuals showing a particular abnormality in their ECGs 65 , they say, a 10 to 20 times greater risk of subsequently developing signs of coronary heart disease, or of sudden death.
