Passage Two
(1) Since the lineage of
investigative journalism is most directly traceable to the progressive era of
the early 1900’s, it is not surprising that the President of the United States
at the time was among the first to articulate its political dimensions. Theodore
Roosevelt called investigative reporters "muckrakers," after a character from
John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress who humbly cleaned "the filth off the floor."
Despite the misgivings implied by the comparison, Roosevelt saw the muckrakers
as "often indispensable to the well-being of society".

Passage 3
Since sick building syndrome (综合病症) (SBS) shares symptoms with many prevalent maladies (疾病), from the common cold to allergies and asthma, it can be easily overlooked. The condition is typically recognized only after a group of people occupying the same building come down with the classic symptoms, especially if those symptoms wane during the evening and on weekends.
Given a poorly ventilated (使通风), airtight (不漏气的，密封的)building, SBS is believed to be caused by one of two general categories of pollution. The first, typical of flew or newly renovated buildings, is chemical pollution. That "new smell" you get when first moving into a new house is actually the odor of chemical vapors being given off by paint, glue (胶), carpeting and other construction materials. Formaldehyde (甲醛), which is considered a probable hum
A. SBS is actually some kind of prevalent maladies.
B. SBS has similar symptoms to those of many prevalent maladies.
C. SBS has a specific symptom different from that of any other maladies.
D. None mentioned in the article.
[单项选择] Passage Two
The two claws of the mature American
lobster are decidedly different from each other. The crusher claw is short and
stout; the cutter claw is long and slender. Such bilateral asymmetry, in which
the right side of the body is, in all other respects, a mirror image of the left
side, is not unlike handedness in humans. But where the majority of humans are
right-handed, in lobsters the crusher claw appears with equal probability on
either the right side or left side of the body.
Bilateral
asymmetry of the claws comes about gradually. In the juvenile fourth and fifth
stages of development, the paired claws are symmetrical and cutterlike.
Asymmetry begins to appear in the juvenile sixth stage of development, and the
paired claws further diverge toward well-defined cutter and crusher claws during
succeeding stages. An intriguing aspect
A. drawing an analogy between asymmetry in lobsters and handed in humans.
B. developing a method for predicating whether crusher claws in lobster will appear on the left or right side
C. explaining differences between lobsters’ crusher claws and cutter claws
D. discussing a possible explanation for the way bilateral asymmetry is determined in lobsters

Passage Two
Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letter, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.
Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language c
A. make use of
B. go to
C. visit
D. express
[单项选择] Passage Two
If two scientists at Los Alamos
National Laboratory are correct, People will still be driving gasoline-powered
cars 50 years from now, giving out heat-trapping carbon dioxide into the
atmosphere--and yet that carbon dioxide will not contribute to global warming.
The scientists, F. Jeffrey Martin and William L. Kubic Jr., are proposing a
concept, which they have patriotically named Green Freedom for removing carbon
dioxide from the air and turning it back into gasoline.
The idea
is simple. Air would be blown over a liquid solution which would absorb the
carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide would then be extracted and subjected to
chemical reactions that would turn it into fuel. Although they have not yet
built a fuel factory, or even a small prototype, the scientists say it is all
based on existing technology. "Everything in the co
A. There is no cheap source of hydrogen.
B. There might be a safety problem in hydrogen production.
C. They may still be a cause of global warming.
D. They are not suitable for long-distance travel.
