Passage One
American scientist Morse Solomon has developed an unusual method to make meat softer. First,put a kilogram or more of firm meat in a container filled with water.Add a small amount of explosives.Then,mix carefully and explode.
No,Mister Morse is not attempting to destroy the meat.Instead,he is making it softer and also killing harmful bacteria.Mister Solomon is a meat scientist with the United States Agricultural Research Service.He began to explore the use of shock waves to soften meat ten years ago.His method is called the Hydrodynamic Pressure Process.The theory is simple.Shock waves from an explosion travel through water to the meat.The shock waves tear small pieces of muscle and other particles away from the meat. This makes the meat softer and easier to eat. The shock waves also reduce the amount of bacteria in the meat.The Department of Agriculture says the process could increase food safety for companies that sell meat.Uncooked meat may contain organisms such as the Escherichia coli bacteria,also known as E.coli. E.coli can make people sick if they eat meat that is not well cooked.The Hydrodynamic Pressure Process may help reduce concerns about harmful bacteria in meat.
Other American scientists attempted to improve the process.They used a thick-walled metal container that was buried in the ground. This device did not improve the quality of the meat as much as the simpler method.However, the scientists found there seemed to be fewer bacteria in the meat than before the process. Scientists had demonstrated that the Hydrodynamic Pressure Process could improve large pieces of meat.Next,they wanted to see if the process reduced bacteria levels in smaller pieces of ground beef that is used to make hamburgers. Their tests showed a reduction of bacteria in ground beef products.Other studies showed that ground beef containing E.coli had no measurable levels of the bacteria after the treatment.
The Hydrodynamic Pressure Process does not kill all bacteria in the meat,however.Mister Solomon says some good bacteria remain. The agricultural scientists say more studies are needed to see if the method could be used in the meat processing industry.
1)Which of the following titles best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
A.The Life of an American Scientist Morse Solomon.
B.The American Agricultural Research Service.
C.An Introduction of the American Meat Processing Industry.
D.An Introduction of the Hydrodynamic Pressure Process.
2)What make meat softer and easier to eat?
A.Some explosives.B.Shock waves.
C.Certain organisms. D.Other particles.
3)The phrase“the simpler method(Line 5,Para.3)refers to __________.
A.Thick-walled Containers Burying Method
B.Hydrodynamic Pressure Process
C.Bacteria-killing Method
D.Meat-improving Treatment
4)It had been proved that the Hydrodynamic Pressure Process __________.
A.could improve smaller pieces of ground beef but not large pieces of meat
B.could improve large pieces of meat but not smaller pieces of ground beef
C.could improve large pieces of meat and reduce the bacteria in ground beefas well
D.could improve large pieces of meat but could not reduce the bacteria in ground beef
5)We can learn from the passage that theHydrodynamic Pressure Process __________.
A.proved to be a GREat success
B.turned out to be a failure
C.remains to be further studied
D.needs to be further tested
Passage Two
People tend to be more impressed by evidence that seems to confirm some relationship. Thus many are convinced their dreams are prophetic(预言的)because a few have come true;they neglect or fail to notice the many that have not.
Consider also the belief that“the phone always rings when I'm in the shower.If it does ring while you are in the shower,the event will stand out and be remembered.If it doesn't ring, that nonevent probably won't even register.
People want to see order,pattern and meaning in the world.Consider,for example,the common belief that things like personal misfortunes,plane crashes,and deaths“happen in threes.Such beliefs stem from the tendency of people to allow the third event to define the time period.If three plane crashes occur in a month, then the period of time that counts as their“happening togetheris one month;if three crashes occur in a year,the period of time is stretched.Flexible end points reinforce such beliefs.
We also tend to believe what we want to believe.A majority of people think they are more intelligent,more fair-minded and more skilled behind the wheel of an automobile than the average persons.Part of the reason we view ourselves so favorably is that we use criteria that work to our advantage.As economist Thomas Schelling explains,“Everybody ranks himself high in qualities he values:careful drivers give weight to care,skilled drivers give weight to skill,and those who are polite give weight to courtesy.This way everyone ranks high on his own scale.
Perhaps the most important mental habit we can learn is to be cautious in drawing conclu- sions.The“evidenceof everyday life is sometimes misleading.
6)In the first paragraph the author states that__________.
A.dreams cannot be said to be prophetic even though a few have come true
B.dreams are prophetic because some of them did come true
C.dreams may come true if clearly remembered
D.dreams and reality are closely related
7)From paragraph three ,we can learn that__________.
A.personal misfortunes tend to happen every now and then
B.personal misfortunes ,plane crashes,and deaths usually happen together
C.misfortunes tend to occur in a certain pattern
D.misfortunes will never occur more than three times to a person in his lifetime
8)The word“courtesyin the Para.4probably means __________.
A.good manners B.appropriate speech
C.friendly relations D.satisfactory service
9)What can be inferred from the passage? A.In a series of misfortunes the third one is usually the most serious.
B.Happenings that go unnoticed deserve more attention.
C.People tend to make use of evidence that supports their own beliefs.
D.Believers of misfortunes happening in threes are cautious in interpreting events.
10)It can be concluded from the passage that__________.
A.there is some truth even in the wildest dreams
B.one should take notice of other people's merits
C.there is no order or pattern in world events
D.we should not base our conclusions on accidental evidence

More than most people,scientists pursue their calling(职业,行业)for its own sake.(1) The public acknowledgement for a lifetime dedicated to research may be a footnote in a scientist journal.But for those who change the face of science through their work,there may come a moment in the world spotlight.These are the Nobel laureates,winners of prizes in physics, chemistry and medicine.(2)The Nobel prizes are not only prestigious but carrying an award that may go as high as $124,000(tax free).So meticulous(小心翼翼的)is the selection process that scientists have seldom disaGREed over the choice of the more than 200who have been picked since 1901.The Swedish inventor of dynamite whose fortune made the awards possible:“No consideration be given to the nationality of the candidates...and those chosen“should have conferred(赋予)the greatest benefit on mankind...
