Japan's Meteorological Agency released its first tsunami海啸 warnings just three minutes later. The country has one of the best earthquake early warning systems in the world.There are more than four thousand Seismic Intensity Meters in place throughout Japan to measure earthquake activity. These meters provide information within two minutes of an earthquake happening. Information about the strength and the center of the earthquake can be learned within three minutes.There are also concrete(混凝土) sea walls around much of the Japanese coastline. But these measures proved no match for the powerful earthquake and tsunami.Costas Synolakis ，a tsunami expert at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles said，"Japan is one of those most well-prepared countries on earth in terms of tsunami warning. They had a warning. I think what went wrong is that they had not expected the size of this event."He says there are two reasons for this. Japan has not had any event anywhere near as big as this one in the last one hundred fifty years. And scientists had not expected such a large earthquake happening off the coast of Japan.The nine point zero magnitude earthquake was the fourth most powerful earthquake ever recorded worldwide. It was also the worst earthquake ever to hit Japan. The tsunami waves that followed were reported to have reached as high as thirteen meters in some areas.Costas Synolakis says Japan's concrete sea walls were not built to handle such high waves.Experts say early warning systems will continue to be limited by these facts until earthquakes and tsunamis can be predicted21Where can this passage probably be adapted from? AA magazine on science BA fairy Tale CA scientific fantasy book DA newspaper 22Which of the following statements NOT true ? A. A terrible earthquake hit the northeastern coast of Japan B. It was also the worst earthquake in JapanC. The 9.0 earthquake was the fourth most powerful earthquake ever recorded in JapanD. Japan's concrete sea walls was unable to handle such high waves.23. According to Costas Synolakis, why did Japan suffer such a loss? A. The country has never experienced any event as big as this one over the past 150 yearsB. Japan has the best earthquake early warning systems in the world.C. There are not concrete sea walls around all of the Japanese coastlineD. The government didnt announce its first tsunami warnings three minutes earlier.B Ever since news of widespread food recalls caused by a carcinogenic dye broke, there has been confusion混淆 over possible links to the country of the same name, but Sudan officials say there is no connection whatever Sudan 1 is a red industrial dye颜料 that has been found in some chilli powder, but was banned in food products across the European Union (EU) in July Since the ban was put in place, EU officials have been trying to remove some food products from the shelvesSo far 580 products have been recalledLast week Sudans Embassy in the United Kingdom asked the Food Standards Agency (FSA) for clarification(澄清) of the origin of the dyes name Omaima Mahmoud Al Sharief, a press official at Sudans Embassy in China, explained the purpose of the inquiry was to clear up any misunderstanding over links between the country and the poisonous dye"We want to keep an eye on every detail and avoid any misunderstanding there," she said"Our embassy to Britain asked them how the dye got that name and whether the dye had something to do with our countryBut they told us there was no relationship" The FSA, an independent food security watchdog in Britain, received a letter from the Sudanese embassy last week"They asked us why the dye is named Sudan, however, we also do not know how it got the name," she said"People found the dye in 1883 and gave it the nameNobody knows the reason, and we cannot give any explanation before we find out" Sudan dyes, which include Sudan 1 to 4, are red dyesused for colouring oils, waxes, petrol, and shoe and floor polishesThey are classified as carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer24What does the underlined word “carcinogenic mean in paragraph one?ACausing cancer BHaving side effect CContaining poison DPoisonous25How did the Sudan 1 get its name?AThe dye is often produced in SudanBThe dye has something to do with the country named SudanCNobody is sure of the origin of the nameDMany foods produced in Sudan contain the dye26We can infer from the passage thatAthe Sudan government is paying much attention to the food safetyBSudan 1 is often used to be added to the foodCpeople didnt realize the danger of Sudan1 until Dmany food shops will be closed down27Which of the following is the best title?AKeep away from Sudan1BNo Sudan 1 dye links to the countryCHow Sudan1 dye got its name?DPay attention to the food safetyC Will you get a good job？ What will you do？ Many new graduates feel lost when they consider the endless list of career choices. Theyve invested a lot of money for their diploma文凭and now an important question stares them in the fact. Ive seen so many now graduates who do not know how to use the degree they have just earned. An example was Dave，who loved sports and had played baseball throughout his college years. He had his heart set on working for Nike. But he had never made clear in his own mind what kind of job he could do for Nike，so nothing ever happened. Another example was Allison，who was a history major. She wanted to work as an event planner，but unfortunately，no one hired her. Why？ No experience. Failing to do some solid career exploration first，to get a clear idea of the types of jobs you can do，is a big error that many college students make. After our suggestion，Dave and Allison both found their jobs. To ensure a brighter future，follow these effective strategies： Make educated career choices. Identify the job you want. Conduct research. Ask parents to advise you on actual job duties. Consider what your natural talents are，and look for positions where you can use them. Dont rely on the Internet. Networking is an effective toolbe sure its a jobhunting strategy you use. New studies from the Department of Labor state that only 4 of job-seekers found their job on the Internet. The fact is that 63 of all jobs are filled by contacts. Employers are making quick decisions. Most people lose the job in the first minute of the interview. Its deadly to let the employers focus quickly on how well you can perform the job. Practice your interviewing skills. Be ready for the tough questions by first writing out good answers to possible questions and having a role-playing interview with your friend.28What does the author seem to be most probable？ AA job-hunter. BA magazine editor. CA website owner. DA job-seeking adviser. 29In order to be well prepared for the interview, youd better _. Asurf the Internet for contacts Bget along well with your workmates Cpractice the interview for several times Dtake care of your dress 30According to the text it is suggested that Dave should _. Alet others know what he can do for them Bstudy further to get a higher degree Cgive up his interest in playing basketball Dtake part-time jobs first 31For Allison, she should _. Afind a job in another field Bfind some work to gain work experience Cnot tell the employer her major Doffer more personal information DAt a primary school in a small town in the east of South Carolina, second-grade teachers Garneau and Lynne are convinced that separating elementary-age boys and girls produces immediate academic improvement in both genders性别David Chadwell, South Carolinas expert of single gender education says, “Boys and girls learn, hear and respond to their surroundings differentlyWe can teach boys and girls based on what we now knowMale and female eyes are not organized in the same way, he explainsThe organization of the male eye makes it sensitive to motion and direction“Boys understand the world as objects moving through space, he saysThe male eye is also drawn to cooler colors like silver and blackIts no accident that boys tend to create pictures of moving objects instead of drawing the happy colorful family, like girls do in their classThe female eye, on the other hand, is drawn to warmer colors like red, yellow and orangeTo attract girls, Chadwell says, the teacher doesnt need to move as much as in boys classUsing descriptive phrases and lots of colors in presentations or on the blackboard gets their attentionBoys and girls also hear differently“When someone speaks in a loud tone, girls understand it as yelling, Chadwell says“They think youre mad and can shut down Girls are more sensitive to soundsHe advises girls teachers to watch the tone of their voicesBoys teachers should sound more forceful, even excitedA boys nervous system causes him to be more cautious when he is standing, moving, and the room temperature is around 69 degrees FahrenheitStress in boys, he says, tends to increase blood flow to their brains, a process that helps them stay focusedGirls are more focused when seated in a warmer room around 75 degrees FahrenheitGirls also respond to stress differentlyWhen exposed to threat and conflict, blood goes to their guts肠道, leaving them feeling nervous or anxiousThese differences can be applied in the classroom, Chadwell adds“Single gender programs are about making the best use of the learning32What is David Chadwells attitude toward separating elementary-age boys and girls while learning?ASupportiveBWorriedCConcernedDUninterested33To engage boy in a class, the teacher _Amust have a moving object in this hand Bneeds to wear clothes in warm colorChas to speak politely Dhad better move constantly while teaching34Which of the following shows the organization of the passage? = Paragraph 1 = Paragraph 2 = Paragraph 3 = Paragraph 8 A B C.

In the 90s, they want to know your website. 71 Your website is an electronic meeting place for your family, friends and potentially, millions of people around the world. Best of all, you may not have to spend a cent. The web is filled with all kinds of free services and all it takes is some time and creativity. 72 Like the table of contents of a book or magazine, the home page is the front door. Your site can have one or more pages, depending on how you design it.While web pages vary greatly in their design and content, most use a traditional magazine layout版面设计.At the top of the page is a banner(横幅). Next comes a greeting and a short description of the site. Pictures, text, and links to other websites follow. 73 Think about whom the site is for and what you want to say. Next, gather up the material that you want to put on the site. While there are no rules you have to follow, there a
