Questions are based on the following passage.
To get a sense of how women have progressed in science, take a quick tour of the physics department at the University of California, Berkeley. This is a storied place, the 36 of some of the most important discoveries in modern science--starting with Ernest Lawrence's invention of the cyclotron (回旋加速器．in1931. A generation ago, female faces were 37 and, even today, visitors walking through the first floor of LeConte Hall will see a full corridor of exhibits 38 the many distinguished physicists who made history here, 39 all of them white males.
But climb up to the third floor and you'll see a 40 display. There, among the photos of current faculty members and students, are portraits of the 41 head of the department, Marjorie Shapiro, and four other women whose research 42 everything from the mechanics of the universe to the smallest particles of matter. A sixth woman was hired just two weeks ago. Although they're still only about 10 percent of the physics faculty, women are clearly a presence here. And the real 43 may be in the smaller photos to the right: graduate and undergraduate students, about 20 percent of them female. Every year Berkeley sends its fresh female physics PhDs to the country's top universities. That makes Shapiro optimistic, but also 44 "I believe things are getting better," she says, "but they're not getting better as 45 as I would like.

2、Questions are based on the following passage.
        Amid a summer of record-setting heat, a new survey f'mds that most of Generation X's (20世纪60年代到70年代初出生的美国人) young and middle-age adults are tminformed and unconcerned about climate change.
        Only about 5% of Gen Xers, now 32 to 52 years old, are "alarmed" and 18% "concerned" about climate change, reports the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research on Tuesday.         Two-thirds, or 66% , of those surveyed last year said they aren't sure global warming is happening and 10% said they don't believe it's occurring.
        "Most Generation Xers are surprisingly disengaged, dismissive or doubtful about whether global climate change is happening and they don't spend much time worrying about it," said author Jon D.Miller.
        The report comes as several Obama administration officials have recently linked extreme weather to climate change. In a report last week, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration cited six weather events last year and said that atmospheric changes caused by the burning of fossil fuels made
        Texas' heat wave, for example, 20 times more likely than it would have been in the 1960s.
        The Generation X survey of about 3,000 adults, the fourth in a continuing series, found a small butstatistically significant decline in Gen Xer's attention to climate change. In 2011, 16% said they followed the issue very or moderately closely, down from 2296 in 2009.
        Why are Gen Xere so indifferent? The report, funded by the National Science Foundation, citesclimate change's complexity, pressing economic concerns and "issue fatigue". It finds educated adults tend to be more concerned about the issue. It also finds partisan (党派的) differences; nearly half ofliberal Democrats were concerned or alarmed compared to zero percent of conservative Republicans.
        Miller said he expected that, given climate change's expected impact on future generations, parents of young children would be more concerned than those without kids.
        "Not so," he said. " Generation X adults without minor children were. slightly more alarmed aboutclimate change than were parents. The difference is small, but it is in the opposite direction than weexpected. "' Miller said the report suggests that while there's broad awareness of climate change, manyGen Xers prefer to focus on more immediate issues such as jobs and schools.
What do we know about the Generation X according to the passage?
A．They are a group of people receiving little education.
B．They don't believe global warming will affect them.
C．They don't care very much about climate change.
D．They never think that climate change will happen.


3、Questions are based on the following passage.
        The mobile phone is a magic device widely used these days. Although it has been nearly 30 years since the first commercial mobile-phone network was launched, advertisers have yet to figure out how to get their ___36___ out to mobile-phone users in a big way.

4、 根据材料，回答题：
        With the unemployment rate topping 8% and the government $16 trillion in debt, it's easy to question why taxpayers are spending $ 2.5 billion on an SUV- sized Mars rover (探测车) named Curiosity, which landed successfully on the red planet in the early hours of Monday.  Couldn't this money go toward something closer to home, such as providing shelter for the homeless or building roads? Yes, it could. But this kind of thinking is shortsighted.
        The Mars project is the latest manifestation of America's restless desire to answer previously unanswerable questions and take on new challenges. To paraphrase President John F. Kennedy, America does things like this not because they are easy, but because they are hard.
        Getting the probe down safely on Mars, after a 350 million mile journey, was certainly no easy feat. Virtually all the technology used in the approach and landing was new, or used in new ways. Once settled in, Curiosity should be a particularly awe-inspiring project. It is designed to shed light on big questions: Could life forms have ever existed on Mars? Might they still exist? And are we alone in the universe ?
        When budgets are tight, space projects such as Curiosity come in for particular abuse. They are often portrayed as complicated flights of odd ideas. They are not. They are both inspirational and immensely practical. Technology is, after all, an engine of economic growth. If that is a goal, as well it should be, why not support a program that makes science exciting and showcases some of the most interesting things that. technology can do? One of the main benefits of projects like this one is to promote a confident America. Throughout history, nations that explore, and engage in science, lead the world. Beginning in the 15th century, for example, European nations sent sailors around the globe and provided the impetus for thinkers such as Copernicus, Galileo and Newton to invent modern physics and astronomy. Not coincidentally, Europe came to dominate the world until the dawn of the 20th century.
        Those who would slash space program budgets apparently haven't learned history's lessons and don't see the great possibilities that the future presents--possibilities reflected in every image transmitted back from the rover.

Why is it easy to question why taxpayers' money is spent on Curiosity?
A．Because Curiosity costs too much money.
B．Because the economic situation is depressed.
C．Because the money should be spent on the people.
D．Because Curiosity is meaningless and impractical.


5、 Questions are based on the following passage.
　　Because of satellite links which now enable broadcast news organizations to originate liveprogramming from any part of the globe, the entire world is becoming  one giant sound stage fortelevision news. As a result, Shakespeare's famous line, "all the worh is a stage," has taken on aninteresting new twist in meaning.
　　Even before today's worldwide satellite links were possible, the growing effect of broadcast news
　　technology on national and international politics was becoming increasingly evident.
　　Because television is a close-up medium and a medium that seerns to most readily involve
　　emotions, it is most effective when it is revealing the plights of people;  During the Vietnam War, readingabout war was one thing, but war took on a deeper and more unsavor' ( 令人讨厌的)  dimension  when 　　it was exported directly into U. S. living rooms night after night by television. Public opinion eventuallyturned against the war and to some measure against President Johnson who was associated with it. As
　　a result of the public opinion backlash (消极反应) during these tines, the Pentagon was thereaftermuch more careful to control what foreign correspondents and TV crews would be allowed to see andreport.
　　It was during this time that President Carter brought the issue of human rights to the centre of hisforeign policy, and, to some degree, to the centre of international pol tics. "Human rights is the soul ofour foreign policy," Carter said. "Of all human rights the most basic s to be free of arbitrary violence,whether that violence comes from government, from terrorists, from criminals, or fi'om self-appointedmessiahs (救世主) operating under the cover of politics or religion. "
　　Although political viewpoints have changed since then, because of the emotional nature of humanrights, this has emerged as the "soul" of television news. The transgression (侵犯) of human rightshas been the focus of many, if not most, major international television  news stories. The reporting ofthese stories has created outrage in the world, prompted attempts at censorship by dictators, and in many
　　cases resulted in the elimination of human rights abuses.

The passage mainly discusses____________.
A．the evolution of international politics in the United States
B．the broadcast media gives its primary concern on human rights
C．the global television communication has a huge impact on pet,pie's emotions 
D．the broadcast media plays a growing role in international poli ics
