4.The idea that animals can sense earthquakes is a popular one,and stories about animals'strange behavior before earthquakes have been told for centuries.Catfish moving violently,chickens that stop laying eggs and bees leaving their hive in a panic have been reported.Countless pet owners claimed to have witnessed their cats and dogs acting strangely before the ground shook-barking or whining(哀叫) for no reason,or showing signs of nervousness and restlessness.
Can humans use animals as earthquake detectors(探測器)?Debate over whether or not animals can truly sense earthquakes has not solved the question.Support for the idea that animals can sense earthquakes includes studies which suggest that animals may be able to feel the Earth vibrate(振動) before humans.Other ideas suggest that animals may sense electrical changes in the air or gas released from the Earth which could be indicators(預示) of an earthquake.
However,other researchers think the animals'ability is very doubtful.Some scientists feel that there is no strong scientific evidence to support the idea that animals can sense earthquakes.They say that it is difficult to develop a controlled study which can connect a specific animal behavior with an earthquake occurrence.They suggest that human psychology may have an effect on pet owners,as they may want to attribute(歸于) powers of sensing earthquakes to their animals.Others have also pointed out that animals react to so many things-being hungry,defending their land,mating,enemies…And if an earthquake can shake millions of people,it is likely that a few of their pets will,by chance,be acting strangely before an earthquake.
Whether or not animals can sense earthquakes before humans do remains to be seen.

分析 本文主要介紹在地震前一些動物有奇特的反應,人們把這些動物的這些奇怪的舉止與地震聯(lián)系起來.有的科學家支持這種觀點,有的則認為這種聯(lián)系值得懷疑.但動物是否能在人之前感覺地震還沒有定論.

解答 71.behave/act 詞性轉化題.根據(jù)第一段and stories about animals'strange behavior before earthquakes have been told for centuries可知,有關動物在地震前一些奇怪的行為的故事講了幾個世紀.正確答案是:behave/act.
72.leave 詞性轉化題.根據(jù)第一段chickens that stop laying eggs and bees leaving their hive in a panic have been reported可知,停止產蛋的雞和恐慌中離開蜂箱的蜜蜂被報道.正確答案是:leave.
73.nervous 詞性轉化題.根據(jù)第一段Countless pet owners claimed to have witnessed their cats and dogs acting strangely before the ground shook-barking or whining for no reason,or showing signs of nervousness and restlessness可知,數(shù)不清的寵物主人見證了他們的貓和狗在地震前舉止奇特--無故犬吠或哀叫或顯示緊張和坐立不安.正確答案是:nervous.
74.opinions/views/ideas 句意歸納題.根據(jù)第二段Debate over whether or not animals can truly sense earthquakes has not solved the question可知,對動物是否能真地感覺地震的爭論還沒有解決這個問題,下文便是對支持和反對的論述了.即各自不同的觀點.正確答案是:opinions/views/ideas.
75.doubt 詞性轉化題.根據(jù)第三段other researchers think the animals'ability is very doubtful可知,其他的研究者認為動物的能力很值得懷疑.正確答案是:doubt.
76.ahead 同義詞轉換題.根據(jù)第三段Support for the idea that animals can sense earthquakes includes studies which suggest that animals may be able to feel the Earth vibrate before humans可知,支持動物能感覺地震的觀點包括一些研究能顯示動物能在人之前感覺地動,before與ahead of意思相同,意為"在…之前".正確答案是:ahead.
77.connection 詞性轉化題.根據(jù)第三段They say that it is difficult to develop a controlled study which can connect a specific animal behavior with an earthquake occurrence可知,他們說很難發(fā)展一種對照研究把獨特的動物行為與地震出現(xiàn)聯(lián)系起來.正確答案是:connection.
78.affected 同義詞轉換題. 根據(jù)第三段They suggest that human psychology may have an effect on pet owners可知,他們建議人的心理可能影響了寵物的主人,have an effect on與affect意思相同,意為"對…有影響".正確答案是:affected.
79.result 句意理解題.根據(jù)第三段Others have also pointed out that animals react to so many things可知,其他人指出動物對許多事情有反應.正確答案是:result.
80.Conclusion 歸納詞.右邊的內容是對文章的總結.正確答案是:Conclusion.

19.SOME teenagers take up smoking during the holidays either because they become"rich"enough to afford a pack of cigarettes or they think they look"cool".Everyone knows that"smoking is bad for you",but do smokers really know what the health warnings mean to them?
Smoking,the world's second leading cause of preventable death,kills 4.9million people a year,the United Nations said on February 27.The world has about l.2billion smokers and World Health Organization surveys show that about 20per cent of them are children aged between 13and 15years old.
On the same day,a global treaty(公約) aimed at encouraging children not to smoke and help people kick the habit came into force.This is the first worldwide agreement on a public health issue.It will see strong warnings added to cigarette packets and a ban on all tobacco advertising.
Young smokers may think little of the health effects of smoking.But smoking can stop them from making friends,as most non-smokers don't like being around smokers.
"I feel sick when I see people of my age smoke.Smokers make themselves look less educated,"said Shi Qingyu,a Senior 3student at Luanxian No 1High School in Hebei Province.Once while on a bus,he asked a girl who was smoking next to him to put out her cigarette.
For Wang Gezhu,a Senior l  girl from Wuxi Furen High School in Jiangsu Province,boys who smoke are less attractive.
"Boys that smoke may think they are cool or impressive,but I think they look weird(怪異的) compared to other ordinary students in my eyes.They only do what others won't risk doing,"Wang said.
Every one wants to impress others,but there are ways to show off other than smoking.
On February 26,around 200students from across the country gathered in Beijing to be awarded for their outstanding performance in the 2004"Sunflower Cup".The programme included several contests in writing,calligraphy (書法),drawing and painting.It aimed to encourage students to take part in meaningful activities so that they could spend their free time developing healthy habits and hobbies.
"Teenagers are energetic and quick to learn,both good and bad things.For the sake of their own health,teenagers should learn to say no to their first cigarette because life as a smoker is a life of addiction.You can't quit,"said Wang Zhengqi,deputy  secretary-general (副秘書長) of the Chinese Association on Smoking and Health.

44.How does the writer give us the health warnings of smoking in paragraph 2?C
A.By listing examples.
B.By telling stories
C.By offering data.
D.By persuading us.
45.Smoking can affect the young from the following aspects(萬面) exceptB.
A.Smoking will do harm to their health
B.Smoking can make them cool
C.Smoking will stop them frm making friends
D.Smoking make them look less educated
46.From what the students said in paragraph 5-7,we can learn thatA
A.Young smokers want others to pay attention to them
B.None of the students like young smokers
C.Young smokers usually smoke on the bus
D.Young smokers are very brave.
47.From the passage.what does the author want to say?B
A.Don't make friends with young smokers.
B.Young smokers,drop off your cigarettes!
C.The young smoke because they have enough money.
D.Meaningful activities are the only ways to prevent the young from smoking.

80.F
You're probably most familiar with college dictionaries,often called abridged dictionaries.Although abridged means"shortened",these dictionaries contain more than 150.000entries and provide detailed definitions that are sufficient for most college students and general users.College dictionaries also contain separate lists of abbreviations.Biographical and geographical names,foreign words and phrases.And tables of measures.Webster'sⅡNew Riverside University Dictionary and the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language are college dictionaries.
81.Dunabridged dictionaries contain as many as 500,000entries and provide detailed definitions and extensive word histories (etymologies).These dictionaries,possibly in several volumes and mostly found in libraries,are excellent sources for scholarly inquiries.Unabridged dictionaries include the Oxford English Dictionary and the Random House Dictionary of the English Language.
82.C
A dictionary entry has many elements:multiple definitions,syllabication,preferred spelling and pronunciation (some word have more than one acceptable spelling and pronunciation),and part-of-speech labels.Some entries also include plurals and capitalized forms.Synonyms,antonyms,and derivatives.Americanisms and etymologies may be provide along with usage notes,cross-references,and idioms.

83.B
If you prefer using the dictionary on a computer,you can obtain CD-ROM versions of many major dictionaries.In addition,you can access numerous dictionaries,such as WWWebster's Dictionary,on the Internet.Online dictionaries allow you to enter a search word (you even get help with spelling ) to see a definition,and sometimes even an illustration.Online dictionaries also offer additional features,such as word games.Language tips,and amusing facts about words.Some online dictionary services allow you to access numerous dictionaries,both general and specialized,in on search.

84.E
Specialized dictionaries provide in-depth information about a certain field.For example there are dictionaries for the specialized vocabularies of law,computer technology,and medicine.In addition,there are dictionaries of synonyms,clichés,slang,and even regional expressions.Such as the Dictionary of American Regional English(DARE).There are also dictionaries of foreign languages,famous people's names,literary characters'names and place names.
