I am one of luck ones. I was nowhere near danger, although chaos was all around me. I lost no one dear to me in either attack. Like so many Americans, after a never-wracking day of calling and e-mailing, I discovered that, despite some close calls, all family and friends in New York were safe.
Yet despite our suffering, it (S1) little to that of the many innocent victims who were killed, and to the pain that their families are experiencing. Those in the buildings at the time of the attack were killed not because of who they were, but because of where they were---in offices in two of the most recognizable (S2) of American power. Those aboard the doomed planes became both terror victims and (S3) of terror. Courageous (S4) workers who sed countless lives by fighting fires and the chaos of the moment lost their lives. And our (S5) lost in the （S6) of Pearl Harbor but seemingly regained again in the post-war (S7) ,has been lost again. (S8)
.I will feel pride in the heroism of New York’s citizens. I will think of the brery with which this whole nation forted each other.(S9)
. I will remember always the humanity of the moment. (S10)
I will not let them make me live in fear. I will not let them win.
Part Ⅱ Reading prehension (35 minutes)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage one:
Nuclear power’s danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be summed up in one word: radiation.
Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, party because it cannot be detected by human senses. It can’t be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even tough it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio wes are all around us but we can’t detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can’t sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike mon radio wes, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.
At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright(全部地)by killing masses of cells in vital ans. But even the lowest level of radiation can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is pletely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright, your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in a deformed way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.
This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or liable to serious illness as result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.
Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.

14. Radiation can hurt us in that it can_______.
A. affect the healthy growth of our offspring.
B. damage cells which grow into cancer years later.

Passage two:
A few years ago a young mother watched her husband diaper(给……换尿布) their firstborn son. “You done not he to be unhappy about it,” she protested. “You can talk to him and smile a little.” The father, who happened to be a psychologist, answered firmly, “He has nothing to say to me, and I he nothing to say to him.”
Psychologist now know how wrong that father was. From the moment of birth, a baby has a great deal to say to his parent and they to him. But a decade or so ago, these experts wear describing the newborn as a primitive creature who reacted only by reflex, a helpless victim of its environment without capacity to influence it. And mothers accepted the truth. Most thought (and some still do) that a new infant could see only blurry(模糊的) shadows, that his other senses were undeveloped, and that all he required was nourishment, clean diapers, and a warm bassi.
Today university laboratories across the country are studying newborns in their first month of life. As a result, psychologists now describe the new baby as perceptive , with remarkable learning abilities and an even more remarkable capacity to shape his or her environment including the attitudes and actions of his parents. Some researchers believe that the neonatal period may even be the most significant four weeks in an entire lifetime.
Far from being helpless, the newborn knows what he likes and rejects what he doesn’t. He shut out unpleasant sensations by closing his eyes or erting his face. He is a glutton for novelty. He prefers animate things over inanimate and likes people more than anything.
When a more nine minutes out, an infant prefers a human face to a head-shaped outline. He makes the choice despite the fact that, with delivery room attendants masked and gowned, he has never seen a human face before. By the time he’s twelve hours old, his entire body moves in precise synchrony (同时发生) to the sound of a human voice, as if he were dancing. A non-human sound, such as a tapping noise, brings no such response.
16.The author points out that the father diapering his first-born son was wrong because________.
A. he believed the baby was not able to hear him
B. he thought the baby didn’t he the power of speech
C. he was a psychologist unworthy of his profession

A. A new infant can see only blurry shadows.
B. A new infant’s senses are undeveloped
C. All a new infant requires is nourishment, clean diapers, and a warm bassi.
D. A new infant is actually able to influence his or her environment
18. What does the sentence “He is a glutton for novelty” probably mean?
A. The newborn is greedy for new food
B. The newborn tends to overeat
C. The newborn always loves things that are new to him
D. The newborn’s appetite is a constant topic in novels
19.According to the passage, it’s groundless to think that newborns prefer________.
A. a human face to a head-shaped outline

Passage four:
Psychological tests are tools. Like all tools, their effectiveness depends on the knowledge, skill, and sincerity of the user. A hammer can be used to build a beautiful kitchen cabi of it can be used as a weapon of assault. Like a hammer, intelligence tests can be used for positive purposes or they can be abusive. It is important for both the test constructor and the test examiner to be familiar with the current state of scientific knowledge about intelligence and intelligence tests.
Even though they he limitations, intelligence tests are among psychology’s most widely used tools. To be effective, though, intelligence tests must be viewed realistically. They should not be thought of as a fixed, unchanging indicator of a person’s intelligence. They should also be used in conjunction with other information about a person and should not be relied upon as the sole indicator of whether a child should be placed in a special-education or gifted class. The child’s developmental history, medical background, performance in school, social petencies, and family experiences should be taken into account, too.
The single number provided by many IQ tests can easily lead to stereotypes and expectations about a person. Many people do not know how to sweeping generalizations about a person are too often made on the basis of an IQ score. Imagine, for example, that you are a teacher sitting in the teacher’s lounge the day after school has started in the a fellow teacher remarks that she had Johnny in class last year, and goes on to say that he was a dunce. You cannot help but remember this information, and it may lead you to think that Johnny Jones is not very bright so it is useless to spend much time teaching him. In this way, IQ scores are misused and stereotypes are formed.

Test Paper Two
Part Ⅳ Short Answer Questions (15 minutes)
Directions: In this part there is a short passage with eight questions or inplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words(not exceeding 10 words)
Mark Twain once remarked that the most impressive quality of weather was its dazzling(使人眼花缭乱的)uncertainty. More than a century later, we are still struggling to precisely predict, much less control, the atmospheric conditions around us. Yet researchers are at work on many fronts in the attempt to master the weather.
For instance, we’ve made some progress in getting clouds to rain more or less on mand. Recent studies show that water-absorbing salts scattered by aircraft may bring about a rainfall more effectively than dry ice. The crystals attract water droplets that otherwise would form around tiny specks of dust and remain too small and light to plunge to earth.
We can’t yet “make” rain, but under the right conditions, a touch of airborne salt increases rainfall by 12 to 14 percent.
Many people, on the other hand, are more interested in knowing whether it will rain at all –or rain so hard that they might expect some damage. Most forecasts are reasonably accurate from about 12 hours out to around five days. Any forecasts closer than that—or more remote –are problematic. But progress is being made in both directions.
Nationwide, for instance, there’s growing interest in “nowcasting”—creating highly detailed forecasts for areas that extend out a mere 30 minutes or so. This is a tough task. Looking only at a growing thunderstorm itself doesn’t give you enough information to accurately predict its development and path. You he to understand the environment the storm is in, including storms around it, atmospheric stability, and other factors.
Long—term forecasts are also improving thanks to more powerful puters, improved modeling, and satellite and ocean—sensor data. We’ll probably never be able to say that a storm will hit Seattle one year from now, but we’re learning about different weather cycles and their implications.
What about actually changing the weather? “The idea of controlling the weather is science fiction,” snorts Professor Roni Avissar at Rutgers University.
Nevertheless, people may one day he to seriously consider ways to reverse a different, unintended weather experiment: global warming caused by excess “greenhouse” gases from burn jing fossil fuels (矿物燃料)。One idea is to with deflect(使偏斜) solar radiation with a giant mirror in space.
Possible. But why not deal with the cause rather than the symptom? To do that, we could launch into space large solar collectors that would beam microwe energy to Earth to be used as electricity, replacing fossil fuels. Vast improvements in electronics and remote assembly techniques may someday mean that this weather control, at least, could bee science fact rather than science fiction.
1. According to Mark Twain, it is _____________________________to predict the weather.
2. Though we can’t yet make rain, we can,__________________________, mand clouds to rain.
3. It is difficult to make accurate weather forecasts within 12 hours or __ _____________five days.
4. To predict accurately the development and path of a thunderstorm,, meteorologists he to understand______________________________
5. To make long—term forecasts, we he to learn about__________________________.
6. Professor Roni Avissar at Rutgers University thinks that the idea of changing the weather is__________________________________________.
