Green Roof Research
The concept of green roofs is basically about growing plants on roofs, thus helping to replace the green footprint that had been destroyed due to the construction of the building. Green roofs are the most prevalent( 流行 ) in Germany, which is widely regarded as the leader in green roof research.
The green roofs that are used these days can be classified as "extensive" and "intensive" systems. Extensive green roofs use mosses, grasses and herbs, which are tolerant to droughts. These plants do not need much maintenance, can be grown in a layer of substrate ( 土层 ) that can be as shallow as 1.5 inches, and generally are inaccessible to the public. In contrast, a wide range of species of plants are grown on intensive green roofs, such as shrubs ( 灌木 ) and even trees, which require deeper substrate layers, and are usually grown on flat roofs. They need intensive maintenance, and are usually areas that resemble parks which are accessible to people.
There are several benefits of adopting green roof technologies. Apart from the obvious psychological and aesthetic (美学的 ) benefits of garden-like environments surrounding you, some of the common economic and ecological benefits are: a reduction in the consumption of energy; air and water purification; recovering green spaces; and the mitigation ( 缓解) of the heat island effect in urban areas.
The green roof research that is currently ongoing is focused on evaluating the species of plants that are suitable to be grown on roofs, the methods of propagation ( 繁殖 ) as well as establishment, nutrient (养料 ) and water requirement, substrates, and the quantity and quality of water runoff. The evaluation criteria of plant species are: at what rate they can be established their capacity to withstand invasive weeds; tolerance of cold and heat; tolerance of drought conditions; capacity of persistence and survival.
A number of experiments are being conducted on roof platform simulations at various research centers. These sites are generally outfitted with equipment, which are used to measure temperatures at different depths of the growing substrates, and the rate and volume of the runoff of stormwaters from each of the platforms.
Green roof technology is representative of a completely new market for landscape contractors, and all roofs that currently exist and the future ones to be constructed are the potential market-a market that is too huge to be overlooked.
16 It is estimated that around 10 percent of the flat roofs in Germany are green.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
参考答案:C
参考解析:

A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
参考答案:C
参考解析:
【解析】题意为:相比于“密集型”屋顶绿化,德国人更偏爱“粗放型”绿化模式。本文第二段解释了“extensive green roof”和“intensive green roof”的含义,但并没有提到德国人更偏爱extensive green roof。
18 Small plants like grasses and herbs are grown widely on intensive green roofs.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
参考答案:B
参考解析:

回答题:
The Supercomputer Network
1. Recently ten laboratories run by governments in different parts of the world have become linked. Their computers have been connected so they can "talk" to each other. This may not seem very dramatic news, but it is the beginning of a development that will increase the power of the Internet tremendously.
2. The Internet is an interconnected ( 互联 ) system of networks that connects computers round the world and facilitates the transmission and exchange of information. The way that you use the lnternet is by accessing this network. This depends on the power that your system allows you to use. The power of your computer is responsible for how fast you can download ( 下载 ) files, how much data you can store, etc. If your computer is old and slow, accessing the information can be very difficult.
3. The new development in information technology has been called "the grid" (网络技术), and it will be a network of computers that are linked together. The "grid" will work in a different way from the Internet, enabling you to get the power of the biggest computers in the world on your computer. Accessing the information will no longer depend on the power of your computer. The idea is that while you access
information, you will also have access to the power of the bigger computer stations.
4. One advantage of this revolutionary idea is that geographical location will become irrelevant. The "grid" will decide which are the best parts of a worldwide network to do the job you want. This means that you may be accessing a computer in Japan to solve a problem in Alaska.
5. The "grid" can be compared to having an efficient personal assistant. You can give your assistant a task and "he" will do it for you. The assistant will do the preliminary research, collect the data, compare them and decide on the best course of action by accessing any of the computer centres in the "grid" that happen to have the relevant information. All you have to do is assign the task, sit back and wait.
6. At present, possible applications of the "grid" in scientific research are being explored. While it has taken about fifteen years for Internet use to become widespread, experts believe that the "grid" could be up and running for private individuals far more quickly. Scientists working on "grid" projects are convinced that it will be as widely used as the web in the next ten years.

根据以下材料回答题:
Genetically Modified Foods
If you want to spark a heated debate at a dinner party, bring up the topic of genetically modified foods. For many people, the concept of genetically altered, high-tech crop production raises all kinds of environmental, healthy, safety and ethical questions. Particularly in countries with long grain traditions-and vocal green lobbies--the idea seems against nature.
In fact, genetically modified foods are already very much a part of out lives. A third of the corn and more than half the soybeans and cotton grown in the U.S. last year were the product of biotechnology, according to the Department of Agriculture. More than 65 million acres of genetically modified crops will be planted in the U.S. this year. The genetic genie ( 妖怪 ) is out of the bottle.
Yet there are clearly some very real issues that need to be resolved. Like any new product entering the food chain, genetically modified foods must be subjected to rigorous testing. In wealthy countries, the debate about biotech is tempered by the fact that we have a rich array of foods to choose from and a supply that far exceeds our needs. In developing countries desperate to feed fast-growing and underfed populations, the issue is simpler and much more urgent: Do the benefits of biotech outweigh the risks? The statistics on population growth and hunger are disturbing. Last year the world's population reached 6 billion. The U. N. estimates that nearly 800 million people around the world are undernourished. The effects are devastating. About 400 million women of child-bearing age are iron deficient, which means their babies are exposed to various birth defects. As many as 100 million children suffer from vitamin A deficiency, a leading cause of blindness.
How can biotech help? Biotechnologists have developed genetically modified rice that is fortified with beta-carotene-which the body converts into vitamin A and additional iron, and they are working on other kinds of nutritionally improved crops. Biotech can also improve farming productivity in places where food shortages are caused by crop damage attributable to pests, drought, poor soil and crop viruses, bacteria or fungi.
31
What's the passage mainly about?
A.The world's food problems.
B.The new advancement in biotech.
C.The characteristics of genetically modified foods.
D.How biotech can help solve the world's food problems.
参考答案:C
参考解析:
【解析】第一段第一句话就提到转基因食品是引起人们争论的热门话题,紧接着说明人们争论的原因、转基因食品的现状、转基因食品带给人们的益处。选项A,B和D虽与文章内容有关,但都没有突出转基因食品这一中心。
32 According to the passage, genetically modified foods__________
A.are superior to naturally grown foods
B.might prove to be risky to human health
C.are going to replace naturally grown foods
D.can solve the food problems in developing countries
参考答案:B
参考解析:
【解析】文章中根本没有就“genetically modified foods”和“naturally grown foods”做比较,也没有说“genetically modified foods”将取代“naturally grown foods”,因此A、C项错。根据文章第一段第二句话,转基因、高技术含量的农作物生产向人们提出了各种各样的有关于环境、健康、安全及伦理(违反自然规律)问题,以及第三段最后一句话:生物技术带来的益处是否超过其所带来的风险?由此可推断转基因食品也许会对人们的健康有害,B正确。D错在于文中并没有说转基因食品能帮助解决发展中国家人们的粮食短缺及营养不良问题。
33 The sentence "The genetic genie is out of the bottle." in Para. 2 probably means__________
A.the genetic genie, the key technology in producing genetically modified foods, is out in the market
B.the genetic technology has come out of laboratories into markets
C.genetically modified foods are available everywhere
D.technology with which to produce genetically modified foods may have powers unpredictable or uncontrollable by man
参考答案:D
参考解析:
【解析】语义推断题。第一段开门见山地指出转基因食品的潜在问题,第二段说明转基因食品已成为我们生活的一部分,介绍了转基因农作物在美国生产的现状,而第三段第一句话又提出:仍有一些问题需要解决。因此可推断此句是指基因技术的负面作用,D正确。此句借助于童话《渔夫与妖怪》的故事。
34 According to the passage, biotech can help solve the problem by__________
A.producing foods that contain more nutrients needed by human beings
B.creating more varieties of foods
C.producing beta-carotene and vitamin A more efficiently
D.producing anti-virus crops
参考答案:A
参考解析:
【解析】根据最后一段,生物技术的作用在于:一是加强农作物营养含量,二是提高农业生产率,所以A项符合题意。
35 The author's attitude toward genetically modified foods is__________
A.enthusiastic
B.cautious
C.disapproving
D.optimistic
参考答案:B
参考解析:
【解析】作者态度题。文章一开始就指出转基因食品引发了各种各样的问题,也提到了其带给人们的益处,即有利有弊,可见作者对待转基因食品的态度是非常慎重的(cautious),既没有十分热心(enthusiastic)、乐观(optimistic),也没有反对(disapproving)。
根据以下材料回答题:
The Emic and Etic Approaches
Researchers who are unfamiliar with the cultural and ethnic groups they are studying must take extra precautions to shed any biases they bring with them from their own culture. For example, they must make sure they construct measures that are meaningful for each of the cultural or ethnic minority groups being studied.
In conducting research on cultural and ethnic minority issues, investigators distinguish between the emic approach and the etic approach. In the emic approach, the goal is to describe behavior in one culture or ethnic group in terms that are meaningful and important to the people in that culture or ethnic group, without regard to other cultures or ethnic groups. In the eric approach, the goal is to describe behavior so that generalizations can be made across cultures. If researchers construct a questionnaire in an emic fashion, their concern is only that
the questions are meaningful to the particular culture or ethnic group being studied. If, however, the researchers construct a questionnaire in an etic fashion, they want to include questions that reflect concepts familiar to all cultures involved.
How might the emic and etic approaches be reflected in the study of family processes? In the emic approach, the researchers might choose to focus only on middle-class White families, without regard to whether the information obtained in the study can be generalized or is appropriate for ethnic minority groups. In a subsequent study, the researchers may decide to adopt an eric approach by studying not only middle-class White families, but also lower-income White families, Black American families, Spanish American families, and Asian American families. In studying ethnic minority families, the researchers would likely discover that
the extended family is more frequently a support system in ethnic minority families than in White American families. If so, the emic approach would reveal a more different pattern of family interaction than would the etic approach, documenting that research with middle class White families cannot always be generalized to all
ethnic groups.
36
According to the first paragraph, researchers unfamiliar with the target cultures are inclined to__________
A.be overcautious in constructing meaningful measures
B.view them from their own cultural perspective
C.guard against interference from their own culture
D.accept readily what is alien to their own culture
参考答案:B
参考解析:
【解析】第一段的第一句里作者指出:对研究对象的文化和种族不熟悉的研究人员必须格外谨慎,研究中不要带有从本国文化出发的任何偏见。根据题意,B项的意思表达了作者的这种担心。
37 What does the author say about the emic approach and the eric approach?
A.They have different research focuses in the study of ethnic issues.
B.The former is biased while the latter is objective.
C.The former concentrates on the study of culture while the latter on family issues.
D.They are both heavily dependent on questionnaires in conducting surveys.
参考答案:A
参考解析:
【解析】第二段分别具体地介绍并区分了“the emic approach”和“the etic approach”两种方法为不同的研究项目服务。显然A项所表达的意思最能概括第二段的核心内容。
38 The etic approach is concerned with__________
A.the general characteristics of minority families
B.culture-related concepts of individual ethnic groups
C.features shared by various cultures or ethnic groups
D.the economic conditions of different types of families
参考答案:C
参考解析:
【解析】第二段第三句和最后一句清楚地表明了“the eric approach”为什么样的研究目的服务。因此,C项为答案。
39 Compared with the etic approach, the emic approach is apparently more__________
A.culturally interactive
B.culture-oriented
C.culturally biased
D.culture-specific
参考答案:D
参考解析:
【解析】第二段和第三段分别举例说明了“the emic approach”和“the etic approach”这两种研究方法的不同之处,读者能较为容易地做出正确判断。
40 Which of the following is true of the ethnic minority families in the U. S. according to the passage?
A.Their cultural patterns are usually more adaptable.
B.Their cultural concepts are difficult to comprehend.
C.They don't interact with each other so much as White families.
D.They have closer family ties than White families.
参考答案:D
参考解析:

根据以下材料回答题:
The Development of Personality
Personality is to large extent inherent. A-type parents usually bring A-type offspring. But the environment must also have a profound effect, since if competition is important to the parents, it is likely to become a major factor in the lives of their children.
One place where children soak up ( 浸泡 ) A characteristics is school, which is, by its very nature, a highly competitive institution. Too many schools adopt the "win at all costs" moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements. The current passion for making children compete against their classmates or against the clock produces a two-layer system, in which competitive A-types seem in some way better than their B-type fellows. Being too keen to win can have dangerous consequences: Remember that Philippines, the first marathon runner, dropped dead seconds after saying, "Rejoice, We conquer!"
By far the worst form of competition in schools is the disproportionate emphasis on examinations. It is a rare school that allows pupils to concentrate on those things they do well. The merits of competition by examination are somewhat questionable, but competition in the certain knowledge of failure is positively
harmful.
Obviously, it is neither practical nor desirable that all A youngsters change into B's. The world needs types, and schools have an important duty to try to fit a child's personality to hide possible future employment. It is top management.
If the preoccupation of schools with academic work was lessened, more time might be spent teaching children surer values. Perhaps selection for the caring professions, especially medicine, could be made less by good grades in chemistry and more by such considerations as sensitivity and sympathy. It is surely a mistake to choose our doctors exclusively form A-type stock. B's are important and should be encouraged.
41
In line 2, Para. 2 the word "institution" refers to__________
A.establishment
B.social custom
C.law
D.school
参考答案:D
参考解析:
【解析】在第二段第一句中,which引导的非限制性定语从句修饰school,因此说school is a highly competitive institution.选项D正确。
42 According to the passage, A-type individuals are in most cases__________
A.impatient
B.considerate
C.aggressive
D.agreeable
参考答案:C
参考解析:
【解析】根据第二段第三句:在竞争方面,A性格的人优于B性格的人……。A错在于文中没有提到有关耐心的问题;B、D选项的内容与原文内容正相反。
43 The author strongly objects to the practice of examination at schools because__________
A.the pressure is too great on the students
B.some students are bound to fail
C.failure rates are too high
D.the results of examinations are doubtful
参考答案:B
参考解析:
【解析】根据文章第三段第三句=¨.competition in the certain knowledge of failure is positively harmful(在失败方面的竞争是有百害而无一利的)。A、D都是无关选项;C过于片面。
44 The selection of medical professionals is currently based on__________
A.candidates' sensitivity
B.academic achievements
C.competitive spirit
D.surer values
参考答案:B
参考解析:
【解析】根据第五段第二句:句首用perhaps…could be made,说明by such considerations as sensitivity and sympathy还只是一种期望,现在还用by good grades。by good grades与academic achievement同义。
45 From the passage, we can draw the conclusion that__________
A.the personality of a child is well established at birth
B.family influence dominates the shaping of one's characteristics
C.the development of one's personality is due to multiple factors
D.B-type characteristics can find no place in a competitive society
参考答案:C
参考解析:

American Dreams
There is a common response to America among foreign writers: the U.S. is a land of extremes where the best of things are just as easily found as the worst. This is a cliche ( 陈词滥调 ).
In the land of black and white, people should not be too surprised to find some of the biggest gaps between the rich and the poor in the world. But the American Dream offers a way out to everyone. 46 No class system or government stands in the way.
Sadly, this old argument is no longer true. Over the past few decades there has been a fundamental shift in the structure of the American economy.
The gap between the rich and the poor has widened and widened. 47
Over the past 25 years the median U.S. family income has gone up 18 percent. For the top 1 percent, however, it has gone up 200 percent. Twenty-five years ago the top fifth of Americans had an average income 6.7 times that of the bottom fifth. 48
Inequalities have grown worse in different regions. In California, incomes for lower class families have fallen by 4 percent since 1969. 49 This has led to an economy hugely in favor of a small group of very rich Americans. The wealthiest 1 percent of households now control a third of the national wealth. There are now 37 million Americans living in poverty. At 12.7 percent of the population, it is the highest percentage in the developed world.
Yet the tax burden on America's rich is falling, not growing. 50 There was an economic theory holding that the rich spending more would benefit everyone as a whole. But clearly that theory has not worked in reality.
A.Nobody is poor in the U.S..
B.The top 0.01 percent of households has seen its tax bite fall by a full 25 percentage points since 1980.
C.For upper class families they have risen 41 percent.

Male-Female Expectation about Marriage
The differences between men and women clarify why they have different expectations about communication in marriage. For women, talk 51 intimacy. Marriage is an orgy (狂欢 ) of 52 : you can tell your feelings and thoughts, and still be loved. Women's greatest fear is being pushed away. But men live in a hierarchical world, 53 talk maintains independence and statue. They are on 54 to protect themselves from being put down and pushed around.
This 55 the paradox of the talkative man who said of his silent wife, "She's the talker." In public settings, he feels challenged to 56 his intelligence and display his understanding. But at home, where he has 57 to prove and no one to defend against, he is free to remain 58 . For his wife, being home means she is free from the worry that something she says might 59 someone, or spark disagreement, or appear to be showing off ; at home she is 60 to talk.
The communication 61 that endanger marriage can't be fixed by mechanical engineering. They require a new conceptual framework about the 62 of talk in human relationships. Many of the psychological explanations may not be 63 , because they tend to blame either women (for not being assertive enough). 64 men (for not being in touch with their feelings). A sociolinguistic approach in 65 male-female conversation is seen as cross-cultural communication allows us to understand the problem and forge solutions without blaming either party.
