第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分）Now people are very concerned about the food problem. Steve Wilson prefers organic fruit, delivered right to the doorstep. He is willing to pay for it. If this is not possible, the 30-year-old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food.
“Organic product is always better,” Wilson said. “The food is free of pesticides(农药), and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms. And more often than not that it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty.” Wilson is one of the growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business. But how many shoppers really know what they are getting, and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic product? Market research shows that Wilson and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences—but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete. For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products. And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported(进口)to meet growing demand. “The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market,” said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.
1、Why does Steve Wilson prefer organic fruit?
A．It is delivered right lo the doorstep.
B．More and more people buy organic fruit.
C．He likes home-grown fruit very much.
D．He considers the fruit free of pollution.
2、What does the underlined words “the organic trend” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Getting the food anywhere.
B．Growing food at home.
C．Better quality of organic food.
D．Growing interest in organic food.
3、Why does Sue Flock say it is a very fast-growing market?
A．Because of a rapid increase in the demand for it.
B．Because it is produced on large farms.
C．Because it can’t be produced on family farms.
D．Because of its proper prices.

23．（8分）Scientists think they have answered a mystery: How some ocean creatures got so huge so quickly.
A few million years ago, the largest whales, averaged about 15 feet long. Then seemingly overnight, one type of whale, the toothless baleen whale（须鲸类）became huge. Modern blue whales get as big as 100 feet. Nicholas Pyenson of the Smithsonian Natural History Museum said, “Why is that?” ”It happened in the glance of an evolutionary eye, which makes it harder to figure out what happened,” said Graham Slater, lead author of the study. Their study has suggested an answer: Ice ages in the last 3 to 5 million years started it, changing the oceans and food supply for whales.
The researchers used fossil records of the smaller whales to create a family tree for baleen whales which include blue whales, humpbacks and right whales. Using computer simulations（模拟）and knowledge about how evolution works, they concluded that when the size changes started, the poles got colder, ice expanded and the water circulation in the oceans changed and winds shifted, Slater and Pyenson said cold water went deep and moved closer to the equator(赤道）and then eventually moved back up with small fish and other small animals that whales eat.
Baleen whale, which have no teeth, feed by eating huge amounts of fish they capture. Toothed whales, like sperm whales (抹香鲸), hunt individual fish, so the ocean chants that made food less evenly spread out didn’t affect them as much. But baleen whales hunt schools of fish.
Olivier Lambert at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences calls it “a really convincing situation”. But he said the lack of fossils in certain time periods is an issue. As oceans warm from man-made climate change, the seas will be more like it was when the whales smaller and they will have a more difficult time surviving.
1、What does the author mean by “It happened in the glance of an evolutionary eye” in the second paragraph?
A．The change of baleen whales happened too quickly.
B．The change of baleen whales was too difficult to explore.
C．Researchers paid little attention to the change of baleen whales.
D．Researchers thought the change of baleen whales was unimportant.
2、What played the key role in baleen whales’ becoming huge?
A．Man-made climate change.
B．Its eating a huge amount of fish.
C．The water circulation in the oceans.
D．The increase of food supply for whales.
3、What do we know about sperm whales and blue whales according to the text?
A．Sperm whales eat more food.
B．Blue whaler live much longer.
C．Sperm whales prefer to hunt schools of fish.
D．Blue whales usually swallow schools of fish.
4、What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．There are no whale fossils now.
B．The whales may become even bigger.
C．Global warming has threatened the whales.
D．Olivier Lamber thinks the study is perfect.
24．（8分） A new keyboard can tell whether you are its owner. The keyboard records information about the typing pattern（模式）and sends it to a computer program. The program then checks to see if the pattern matches the right user. If not, an alarm sounds, and the computer locks the typist out. It locks out everyone else, even if the person knows the password. What's more, this equipment needs no batteries. It collects all the energy it needs from your actions of typing. Besides, the keyboard is also self-cleaning and the keys are free of damage from water, oil and dirt.
The keys of the new keyboard are made of the same inexpensive plastic that might be found on any other standard keyboard. But instead of being smooth, the keys have millions of tiny plastic nanowires（纳米线）on their surface area, increasing the effective contact areas between the plastics and fingers. This guarantees that there's enough power to run the keyboard as someone types.
Liming Dai, a scientist, did not work on the new keyboard, but he thinks the design could be important in getting better performance from a variety of equipment. "It could also be applied to a touch screen, for example, "Dai says. " Then smart phones and notepads could collect energy from someone's actions of typing or drawing. "
"Future work might make the keyboard even more useful, "Dai adds. " A later design might build tiny capacitors onto the nanowires, "he suggests. Capacitors are little devices that temporarily store electric charge. Those might then be LEDs to light a keyboard in the dark.
Zhonglin Wang is a co-designer of the new keyboard. His team has built a working model of the keyboard. "If a company decides to fund（资助）its production, this keyboard could be in stores in as few as two years, "says Wang.
1、How does the new keyboard tell whether you are its owner？
A．By matching the typing pattern to the right user.
B．By sending alarms to a computer program.
C．By checking the right user's passwords.
D．By just recording information about the typing pattern.
2、Why are there many nanowires on the surfaces of the keys？
A．To keep the keyboard free of damage.
B．To improve the speed of typing.
C．To make the keys smooth.
D．To help produce power.
3、What's Dai's attitude to the new keyboard？
A．Unconcerned. B．Doubtful.
C．Positive. D．Critical.
4、What is the best title for the text？
A．A New Keyboard Made of Nanowires
B．A New Keyboard Entirely Owned by You
C．A New Keyboard's Future
D．A New Keyboard Powered by Typing
25．（10分）Sleep repairs the body and the mind and helps prevent disease by strengthening the immune system. However, many adults do not get eight hours of sleep each night. The average adult today gets only 6.4 hours of sleep. Only in recent years have health professionals begun to realize the seriousness of sleep deprivation in the working population. A significant number of people work at night, work long hours, or suffer from sleeplessness or jet lag.
Studies show that the brain is negatively affected by sleep deprivation because certain patterns of electrical and chemical activity that occur during sleep are interrupted and the brain cannot function normally. In one study, thirteen healthy adult subjects(实验对象) who usually had normal sleep patterns were kept awake and carefully monitored in a lab during a period of 35 hours. During the experiment, the subjects were asked to perform several tasks, such as mathematics and word problems, while undergoing scans of their brain activity. The researchers found that the temporal lobe (颞叶) of the brain, the region involved in language processing, was active during speech tasks in rested subjects but not in subjects who lacked enough sleep. After several hours without sleep, there was no activity within this region.
Several studies show that getting fewer than six hours of sleep can damage short-term memory and reaction time—thus causing a serious risk of accident. In one study of drivers, researchers reported that sleep deprivation had the same effects as being drunk. They found that people who drove after being awake for 17 hours performed worse than those with a blood alcohol level of 0.5 percent, the legal limit for drunk driving in most western European countries. The researchers conc
