They had to decide where and which animal to visit as their time was 37. So both of them agreed not to repeat the journey after choosing a branch road at every fork. A road sign at the first fork indicated one way to the _38_ quarters and the other to the tiger hill. They decided on the former after a brief discussion because lions were “the king of the grassland. The second showed a division going 39 to the panda and the peacock. They favored panda as it was the nations treasure and went its way. Thus they made choices all along the way and each choice meant a rejection that they couldnt help 40 .

(6points)Olympic building projects are at risk because skilled Polish workers are going back home and there are not enough skilled British workers to replace _46_ . A quick training plan is being put in place to teach British people basic construction _47_ specifically for Olympic projects. As the Polish builders are beginning to go back home, migrant workers from other parts of Eastern Europe are taking their places; _48_, they dont seem to be as well trained or have the same work ethics as the Polish workers. The Olympic Delivery Authority, the London Development Agency (LDA) and other partner organizations are going to spend 20 million 23 per cent of _49_ training budget for London in increasing the skills of the British workforce to _50_ the construction needs of the Olympics. They are also training electricians. A total of 1,500 workers nationwide will become fully skilled electricians _51_ attending the program. These workers will then work on building the Olympic Village. Iain MacDonald, head of a training program, told The Times, "All the way along we have been holding the view 52 we cant rely on migrant labour. We have to put in plans for the long term. We cant rely on migrant labour all the time. Britain has become too dependent on the migrant labour force. It is better to develop the skills of the 53 population."PART THREE READING COMPREHENSIONDirections: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage. (26 points) ABatteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri (MU) researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with energy density (密度), said Jae kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. “The radioisotope (放射性同位素) battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries.Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, recently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro/nano-electromechanical systems (M/NEWS). Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe.“People hear the word nuclear and think of something very dangerous, he said. “However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems.His new idea is not only in the batterys size, but also in its semiconductor (半导体). Kwons battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure (晶格结构) of the solid semiconductor, Kwon said. “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.Together with J. David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery. In the future, they hope to increase the batterys power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. Kwon said that the battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.54. Which of the following is true of Jae Kwon?来源: A. He teaches chemistry at MU.B. He developed a chemical battery.C. He is working on a nuclear energy source.D. He made a breakthrough in computer engineering.55.

According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery _.A. uses a solid semiconductor B. will soon replace the present onesC. could be extremely thinD. has passed the final test57. The text is most probably a _.A. science news report B. book review C. newspaper ad D. science fiction story B CWUThe communications union Head of ResearchSalary: 55, 271We are looking for a Head of Research to manage the CWU Research Department and Information Centre.
