Global Warming
l Smoke is clouding Our view of global warming, protecting the planet from perhaps three-quarters of the greenhouse(温室)effect．That might sound like good news，but experts say that as the cover diminishes in coming decades，we are facing a dramatic increase of warming that could be two or even three times as great as official best guesses．
2 This was the dramatic conclusion reached last week at a workshop in Dahlem，Berlin, where top atmospheric scientists got together, including Nobel prize winner Paul Crutzen and Swedish scientist Bert Bolin，former chairman of the UN'S Intergovemmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)．
3 IPCC scientists have suspected for a decade that aerosols(浮质)of smoke and other particles from burning rainforest，crop waste and fossil fuels are blocking sunlight and counteracting the warming effect of carbon dioxide(二氧化物)emissions．Until now，they reckoned that aerosols reduced greenhouse warming by perhaps a quarter, cutting increases by 0．2。C．So the 0．6。C of warming over the past century would have been 0．8。C without aerosols．
4 But the Berlin workshop concluded that the real figure is even higher--aerosols may have reduced global warming by as much as three-quarters，cutting increases by 1．8。C．If SO，the good news is that aerosols have prevented the world getting almost two degrees warmer than it is now．But the bad news is that the climate system is much more sensitive to greenhouse gases than previously guessed．
5 As those gases are expected to continue accumulating in the atmosphere while aerosols stabilize or fall, that means"dramatic consequences for estimates of future climate change"，the scientists agreed in a draft report from the workshop．

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
Sleepless at Night
It was a normal summer night．Humidity(湿气)hung in the thick air．
I couldn't go to sleep，partly because of my cold and partly because of my expectations for the next day．My mum had said that tomorrow was going to be a surprise．
Sweat stuck to my aching body．Finally, gathered enough strength to sit up．I looked out of my small window into the night．There was a big bright moon hanging in the sky, giving off a magic light．
I couldn't stand the pressure anymore，SO I did what I always do to make myself feel better．I went to the bathroom and picked up my toothbrush and toothpaste．I cleaned my teeth as if there was no tomorrow．Back and forth，up and down．
Then I walked downstairs to look for some signs of movement，some life．Gladiator, my cat, frightened me as he meowed(喵喵地唱出)his sad song．He was on t11e old orange couch(长沙发)，sitting up on his front legs，waiting for something to happen．He looked at me as if to say I"I'm lonely, pet me．I need a good hug(紧抱)．"Even the couch begged me to sit on it．
In one movement I settled down onto the soft couch．This couch represented my parents'marriage，my birth，and hundreds of other little events．
As I held Gladiator, my heart started beating heavily．My mind was flooded with questions：What's life? Am I really alive? Are you listening to me? Every time I moved my hand down Gladiator's body，I had a new thought；each touch sang a different song．
I forgot all about the heat and the next day's surprise．The atmosphere was SO full of warmth and silence that I sank into its alms．Falling asleep with the big cat in my arms，I felt all my worries slowly move away．

第二篇
Ancient Egypt Brought Down by Famine
Even ancient Egypt's mighty pyramid(金字塔)builders were powerless in the face of the
famine(饥荒)that helped bring down their civilization around 2180 B．C．．Now evidence
collected from mud deposited by the River Nile suggests that a shift in climate thousands of kilometers to the south was ultimately to blame--and the same or worse could happen today．
The ancient Egyptians depended on the Nile's annual floods to irrigate their crops．But any change in climate that pushed the African monsoons(季风)southwards out of Ethiopia would
have reduced these floods．
Declining rains in the Ethiopian highlands would have meant fewer plants to stabilize the soil．W．1len rain did fall it would have washed large amounts of soil into the Blue Nile and into Egypt，along with sediment(沉积)from the White Nile．
Blue Nile mud has a different isotope(同位素)signature from that of the white Nile．So by analyzing isotope differences in mud deposited in the Nile Delta．Michael Krom of Leeds
University worked out what proportion of sediment came from each branch of the river．
Krom reasons that during periods of drought，the amount of Blue Nile mud in the river
would be relatively high．He found that one of these periods，from 4500 to 4200 years ago。
immediately came before the fall of the Egypt's old Kingdom．
The weakened waters would have been disaster for the Egyptians．‘‘Changes that affect food supply don't have to be very large to have a ripple(波浪)effect in societies，"says Bill Ryan of the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory in New York．
Similar events today could be even more devastating，says team member Daniel Stanley．a
scientist from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D．C．"Anything humans do to shift the climate belts would have an even worse effect along the Nile system today because the
populations have increased dramatically．"

36 Why does the author mention "Egypt's mighty pyramid builders''?
A Because they once worked miracles．
B Because they were well-built．
C Because they were actually very weak．
D Because even they were unable to rescue their civilization．

37 Which of the following factors was ultimately responsible for bringing down the
civilization of ancient Egypt?
A Change of climate．
B Corrulption．
C flood．
D Population growth．

38 which of the following statements is true?
A The White Nile is the trunk of the River Nile．
B The White Nile is the trunk of the Blue Nile．
C The White Nile is a branch of the Blue Nile．
D The White Nile is a branch of the River Nile．

39 According to Krom，the Egypt's o1d Kingdom fell
A immediately after a period of drought．
B immediately after a period of flood．
C just before a drought struck．
D just before a flood struck．

40 The word "devastating" in the last paragraph could be best replaced by
A "frustrating''．
B "damaging''．
C "defeating"．
D "worrying''．

第三篇
Technology Transfer in Germany
When it comes to translating basic research into industrial success，few nations can match Germany．Since the 1940s，the nation's vast industrial base has been fed with a constant stream of new ideas and expertise from science．And though German prosperity(繁荣)has faltered(衰退)over the past decade because of the huge cost of unifying east and west as well as the global economic decline，it still has an enviable(令人羡慕的)record for turning ideas into profit．
Much of the reason for that success is the Fraunhofer Society, a network of research institutes that exists solely to solve industrial problems and create sought-after technologies·But today the Fraunhofer institutes have competition．Universities are taking an ever larger role in technology transfer，and technology parks are springing up all over．These efforts are being complemented by the federal programs for pumping money into start-up companies.
Such a strategy may sound like a recipe for economic success，but it is not without its critics. These people worry that favoring applied research will mean neglecting basic science， eventually starving industry of flesh ideas．If every scientist starts thinking like an entrepreneur(企业家)，the argument goes，then the traditional principles of university research being curiosity．driven：free and widely available will suffer．Others claim that many of the programs to promote technology transfer are a waste of money because half the small businesses that are promoted are bound to go bankrupt within a few years.
While this debate continues，new ideas flow at a steady rate from Germany's research networks，which bear famous names such as Helmholtz，Max Planck and Leibniz．Yet it is the fourth network，the Fraunhofer Society，that plays the greatest role in technology transfer．
Founded in 1949, the Fraunhofer Society is now Europe'S largest organization for applied technology，and has 59 institutes employing 1 2，000 people．It continues to grow．Last year'it swallowed up the Heinrich Hertz Institute for Communication Technology in Berlin．Today, there are even Fraunhofers in the US and Asia．
1 What factor Can be attributed to German prosperity?
A Technology transfer．
B Good management．
C Hard work．
D Fierce competition．

2 Which of the following is NOT true of traditional university research?
A It is free．
B It is profit-driven．
C It is widely available．
D It is curiosity-driven．

3 The Fraunhofer Society is the largest organization for applied technology in
A Asia．
B USA．
C Europe．
D Africa．

4 When was the Fraunhofer Society founded?
A In 1940．
B Last year．
C After the unification．
D In 1949．

5 The word"expertise''in line 3 could be best replaced by
A "experts"．
B "scientists"．
C "scholars"．
D "special knowledge"．
