(2007年真題)
Questions 11—15 are based on the following passage:
In the Fall 2006, the National Basketball Association (NBA) started using basketballs made with synthetic, or manmade material instead of leather. They made the switch because they wanted every basketball they use to feel and bounce the same.
However, some players complained right away that the new balls bounced differently and were actually harder to control than leather ones. Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban asked for help the Department of Physics at the University of Texas. The scientists investigated friction that affects the ability of a player to hold onto a ball. “ The greater the friction, the better it will stick to his hand,” explains Horwitz, one of the physicists who worked on the project.
Tests on both wet and dry balls showed that while the plastic ball was easier to grip when dry, it had less friction and became much harder to hold onto when wet. That’s because sweating stays on the surface of the synthetic balls but gets absorbed into the leather balls – an important detail for sweaty athletes.
In January, the NBA went back to using the traditional leather balls. They aren’t perfect, but for now, that’s just the way the ball bounces. (197 w.)

A. NBA players had used the leather balls for too long a time
B. NBA officials wanted a switch with which to start a reform

B. They thought differently about the leather balls.
C. They felt much more comfortable with the synthetic balls.
D. They believed the new balls would soon be replaced.
13. Which of the following contributes to the better control of the balls?

14. When is it harder for an NBA player to hold onto a synthetic ball?
A. When sweating sticks to the ball.
B. When the ball is wetted by water.
C. When tests are done on the ball.
D. When the ball is dried with a towel.

Questions 16—20 are based on the following passage:
A mother dolphin (海豚) chats with her baby over the telephone! They were in separate tanks connected by a special underwater audio link. “It seemed clear that they knew who they were talking with,” says Don White, whose Project Delphis ran the experiment. But what were they saying?
Scientists think dolphins “talk” about everything from basic facts like their age to their emotional state. “I speculate that they say things like ‘there are some good fish over here,’ or ‘watch out for that shark because he’s hunting,’” says Denis Herzing, who studies dolphins in the Bahamas.
Deciphering (譯解) “dolphin speak” is also tricky because their language is so dependent on what they’re doing, whether they’re playing, fighting, or going after tasty fish. During fights, for example, dolphins clap (碰撞) their jaws to say “Back off!” But their jaws clap while playing, too, as if to show who’s king of the underwater playground.
16. How did the mother dolphin talk with her baby over the telephone?
A. Two connected tanks were separated for the talk.
B. A clear voice could be heard in the two separate tanks.
C. Both the mother dolphin and the baby knew each other.
D. AS special underwater audio link was sep up for the talk
17. Dolphins seem to talk to each other about any of the following EXCEPT ______.
A. their age B. audio link
C. food sources D. their emotional state
18. Why is it challenging to interpret “dolphin speak”?
A. Because playing and fighting are part of dolphins’ life.
B. Because dolphins like to talk about their language.
C. Because dolphins’ language heavily relies on their actions.
D. Because tasty fish are difficult for dolphins to catch.
19. A dolphin might be saying “________” when it claps its jaws.
A. Go back to your home! B. I am the king here!
C. Who is playing here? D. Show me who the king is!
20. When scientists describe dolphins’ communicative skills, their tone is rather ________.
A. affirmative B. negative
C. playful D. speculative
Questions 21—25 are based on the following passage:
An American company has started testing a new program aimed at increasing security. Three workers from CityWatcher.com, a company that provides security camera equipment, have volunteered to be electronically monitored. They will have a silicon chip put inside their arms. The tiny device is the size of a grain of rice and will send out radio signals. These will provide information to a central monitoring system that will give the workers access to secure areas of the workplace. The chips were originally designed for medical purposes.
Sean Darks, CEO of CityWatcher, said the chips were like identity cards. He said the only difference is that they are inserted inside the person’s body. He added they are very different from Global Positioning Satellite technology, which allows people’s location to be monitored. Mr. Darks insisted that they were not dangerous and even decided to have a chip implanted in his own body. However, many people are worried about the issue of privacy. Many believe the technology could be abused and that new laws will have to be made. Mr. Darks said his workers always choose to have the chips removed.

Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage:
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has announced plans to return people to the moon by 2018. “And this time,” according to a NASA press release, “we’re going to stay.”
NASA wants to make a new spaceship for the missions using parts from the Apollo program, which first took people to the moon in 1969, and the space shuttle. NASA says the new Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) will be “affordable, reliable, and sage.”
The CEV will be able to hold four astronauts. The plan is to have the CEV dock (對接) in space with the lunar lander---the vehicle astronauts will use to land on the moon---which will be launched separately into space. The CEV will then travel to the moon and all four astronauts will walk on the moon.
The first moon missions are expected to last up to seven days. Exploration and construction of a moon base will be the astronauts’ top priorities (最優(yōu)先考慮的事). NASA hopes to have a minimum of two moon missions a year stating in 2018. This will allow for quick moon base construction, constant scientific study, and training for future missions to Mars.

Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage:
At the end of the U.S. Civil War, about 4 million slaves were freed. Now, people around the world can hear some of the former slaves’ stories for the first time ever, as told in their own voices.
“That was in slavery time,” says Charlie Smith in one interview. “They sold the colored people. And they were bringing them from Africa. They brought me from Africa. I was a child.”
The Library of Congress released the collection of recordings, Voices from the Days of Slavery, in January. The recordings were made between 1932 and 1975. Speaking at least 60 years after their emancipation (解放), the storytellers discuss their experiences as slaves. They also tell about their lives as free men and women.
Isom Moseley was just a boy at the time of emancipation, but he recalls that things were slow to change. “It was a year before the folks knowed they was free,” he says.
Michael Taft, the head of the library’s archive of folk culture, says the recordings reveal something that written stories cannot. “The power of hearing someone speak is so much greater than reading something from the page,” Taft says. “It’s how something is said---the dialect, the low pitches, the pauses---that helps tell the story.”
21. What is new about the slaves’ stories?
A. They are told in the slaves’ own voices.
B. People travel around the world to hear them.
C. Colored people were sold.
D. They happened in the slavery time.

A. The End of the U.S. Civil War.
B. The Library of Congress
C. Voices from the Days of Slavery.
D. The Recordings of Written Stories.
23. How many years did it take to complete the collection of recordings?
A. 26 years. B. 33 years
C. 44 years D. 57 years.
24. What do the storytellers tell us about?
A. How they were brought to the United States from Africa.
B. The release of the collection of recordings.
C. What happened 60 years after their emancipation?
D. Their experiences as slaves and their lives as free men and women.
25. The recordings differ from written stories in that ________.
A. the tellers and the government are contributing together
B. the dialect, the low pitches, and the pauses are more revealing
C. the hearing and reading both help tell the stories

The games got their name from Olympia, the Greek city where they took place. Like the summer Olympics of today, the ancient Olympics were held every four years. Thousands of people from all over the Greek world came to watch. The main stadium held about 45,000 people. “We have accounts of visitor and pilgrims setting up tents all around the site.” Lisa Cerrato of Tufts University said. During the first Olympics, there was only one competition—a 200-meter race. But over time the games grew to include wrestling, chariot racing, boxing, and other sports. Women were not allowed to compete, but they had their own separate games. “The ancient athlete became celebrities (名人), just like today. They often lived the rest of their lives being treated to free dinners.” Cerrato said, “City-states even tried to steal away each other’s athletes by offering them various awards.” The ancient Olympics existed until A.D.393.

Because people love to talk to each other. And it is easier with a mobile phone. In countries like Russia and China, people use mobile phone in places where there is no ordinary telephone. Business people use mobiles when they’re traveling. In some countries, like Japan, many people use their mobile phones to send e-mail message and access the Internet. They use a new kind of mobile phone called “i-mode”. You can even use a mobile phone listen to music. Mobile phones are very fashionable with teenagers. Parents buy mobile phones for their children. They can call home if they are in trouble and need help. So they feel safer. But teenagers mostly use them to keep in touch with their friends or play simple computer games. It’s cool to be the owner of a small expensive mobile. Research shows that teenage owners of mobile phone smoke less. Parents and schools are happy that teenagers are safer and smoke less. But many people dislike them. They hate it when the businessman opposite them on the train has a loud conversation on his phone, or when a mobile phone rings in a caféor restaurant. But there is a much more serious problem. It’s possible that mobile phone can heat up the brain because we hold the phone so close to our head.

Mobiles—A Danger to health? D. Why Do We Design Mobile? Questions 21—25 are based on the following passage: At the International Snow Sculpture Championships in Colorado on January 27, people will carve the white stuff into art. Planning begin mouths before the first snow falls. Teams submit applications and sketches of their sculptures in July. Then, a panel of judges chooses 14 teams for the championship. The rules are simple: Electric tools are not allowed. Teams carve snow with everything but the results are not entirely in the sculptors’ hands,” if it is extremely sunny and warm.” DeWall, the competition’s director of public relations, explained, “we will erect old sail from sail boats into the air to block the sun from melting the sculptures.” If it snows, she continued, teams have to work extra hard to scrape (刮掉) the new snow off their work.. The judges look for creativity, technical skill, and overall impact on the viewer. The winner does not receive any money. “There is no cash prize because the event began with the concept of global camaraderie (情誼).” DeWall explained.
