III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Your cell phone holds secrets about you. Besides the names and 50 that you’ve programmed into it, traces of your DNA remain on it, according to a new study.
DNA is genetic material that appears in every cell. Like your fingerprint, your DNA is unique to you 51 you have an identical twin. Scientists today routinely analyze DNA in blood, saliva (唾液), or hair 52 behind at the scene of a crime. The results often help detectives identify 53 and their victims. Your cell phone can 54 more about you than you might think.
Meghan J. McFadden, a scientist at McMaster University1in Hamilton, Ontario, heard about a crime in which the suspect（嫌疑犯）bled onto a cell phone and later dropped the 55 . This made her wonder whether traces of DNA remained on cell phones ___ even when no blood was involved. 56 she and colleague Margaret Wallace of the City University of New York analyzed the flip-open phones(翻盖手机) of 10 volunteers. They used swabs(药签) to collect 57 traces of the users from two parts of the phone: the outside, where the user holds it, and the 58 , which is placed at the user’s ear.
The scientists scrubbed the phones using a solution made mostly of alcohol. The aim of washing was to 59 all detectable (可查明的) traces of DNA. The owners got their phones back for another week. 60 the researchers collected the phones and repeated the swabbing of each phone once more.
The scientists discovered DNA that 61 to the phone’s owner on each of the phones. Better samples were collected from the outside of each phone, but those swabs also 62 DNA of other people who had apparently also handled the phone. 63 , DNA showed up even in swabs that were taken immediately after the phones were scrubbed. That suggests that washing won’t remove all traces of evidence from a criminal’s device. So cell phones can now be added to the 64 of clues that can settle a crime-scene investigation.

Rubber ducks are being used to help scientists understand global warming and melting glaciers. NASA researchers have 21 90 ducks into holes in Greenland's fastest moving glacier, the Jakobshavn Glacier between Greenland and Canada. The 22 have each been marked with the words "science experiment" along with an e-mail address. If they are found scientists will be able to 23 how the water moves through the ice and provide information about the 24 of glaciers. Scientists are still 25 about why glaciers speed up in summer and head towards the sea. One theory is that as the summer sun melts ice on top of the glacier's surface, the water moves to the bottom of the glacier, where it helps to 26 the movement of ice toward the coast. The Jakobshavn Glacier is believed to be the 27 of the iceberg that sank the Titanic in 1912. Robert Jones, the experiment organizer, said none of the ducks had been 28 yet. "We haven't heard back but it may take some time until somebody actually finds it and decides to send us a/an 29 that they have found it," he said.

Man-made Causes
Man-made causes probably do the most damage. There are many man-made causes. 21 is one of the biggest man-made problems. Pollution 22 in many shapes and sizes. Burning fossil fuels is one thing that causes pollution. Fossil(化石) fuels(燃料)are fuels made of organic matter such as coal, or oil. when fossil fuels are burned they 23 a green house gas called CO2. Also mining coal and oil allows methane to escape. How does it escape? Methane(甲烷)is 24 in the ground. 25 coal or oil is mined you have to dig up the earth a little. When you dig up the fossil fuels you dig up the methane as well.
Another major man-made 26 of Global Warming is population. More people 27 more food, and more methods of transportation, right? That means more methane because 28 will be more burning of fossil fuels, 29 more agriculture. Now you’re probably thinking, “Wait a minute, you said agriculture is going to be damaged by Global Warming, but 30 you’re saying agriculture is going to help cause Global Warming?” Well, have you 31 been in a barn filled with animals and you smell something 32 ? You re 33 methane. Another source of methane is manure. Because more food is needed we have to raise food. Animals like cows are a source of food which means more manure and methane. Another problem 34 the increasing population is 35 . More people means more cars, and more cares means more pollution. Also, many people have more than one car.
Since CO2 contributes to global warming, the increase in population makes the problem worse because we breathe out CO2. 36 , the trees that change our CO2 to oxygen are being demolished because we’re using the land that we cut the trees down from as property 37 our homes and buildings. We are not replacing the trees(an important part of our ecosystem), so we are 38 taking 39 of our natural resources and giving nothing back in 40 .

Secondhand smoke clearly kills people and the only way to control it is to ban smoking in all workplaces, US Surgeon-General Dr Richard Carmona said.
In 1964Surgeon General’s report first laid out the 21 of smoking. Years later, in another report Dr Richard Carmona 22 the effects of secondhand smoke and said no one should be forced to inhale it.
“Secondhand smoke causes early death and disease in children and in 23 who do not smoke,” the report reads. “Children 24 to secondhand smoke are at an increased risk for sudden infant death syndrome（综合症）, acute respiratory（呼吸道） infections, and ear problems,” it adds.
Smoking by 25 causes respiratory symptoms and slows lung growth in their children. A 2005 report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 430 26 died every year in the United States from sudden infant death syndrome-all 27 by secondhand smoke.
States, 28 and other local authorities have battled over instituting（制定）smoking bans. Some 29 , especially bars and restaurants, have said they will lose business if smoking is completely banned. But the report said it is impossible to protect non-smokers even with designated smoking areas, and at least one report from California, which has strict bans, has shown no 30 on businesses.

Reduce means “use less”. Don't things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment.

Reuse means “use again”. Use things for possible. When we buy things, make sure that they a long time. We should take care of them they will last, and we should them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them .
Recycle means “change things into something else”. Although it energy to change something into something else, it’s better than things or burning them. Find out can be recycled in your neighborhood and take part in recycling programs. We should also buy made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save .

Hirose said 120cm is the 57a robot that moves around a home should be.
“If you are going to have something that can move with 58 in a human surroundings(环境), then it is better to 59 the robot like a human,” he said.

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.
Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" or "flight" and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress is, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.

| B．Stress is always harmful to people. |

Are you a man or a mouse? When people ask this question they want to know whether you think you are a 36 person or a coward (懦夫). But you will never really know the answer to this question 37 you are tested in real life. Some people think they are brave, but when they come face to face with real 38 , they act like cowards. Others think of themselves as cowards, but when they meet danger, they act like heroes.
Lenny had always thought of himself as a 39 person. He got worried before examinations. He worried about his job and health. All he wanted in life was to be safe and healthy. Then on January 15th, 2002, a plane crashed into the Potomac River in Washington. Lenny happened to see a woman in the ice-cold water. He did not feel afraid. He 40 very calm and did a very dangerous thing. He jumped into the Potomac, 41 to the woman, and kept her head 42 the water. Seventy-eight people died that day. Thanks to Lenny, it was not 43 .
When you are in a very dangerous situation and feel afraid, the body automatically(自动地) produces a chemical called adrenalin in the blood. With adrenalin in the blood system, you actually feel stronger and stronger and are 44 to fight or run away. However, when you are terrified greatly, the body can produce too much adrenalin. 45 this happens, the muscles become very hard. You are then paralyzed (麻木) with fear. This is why when we are extremely frightened, we sometimes say we are “petrified”. This word 46 a Greek word “petros”, which means “stone”. We are 47 frightened that we become stonelike.
