The  first  settlement  in  North  America

It  is  very  difficult  to  say  just  when  colonization(殖民) began.The  first  hundred  years  after  Christopher  Columbus’s  journey  of  in  1492  did  not  produce  any  settlement  on  the  North  America  continent  but  rather  some  Spanish  trading  posts  in  South  America,a  great  interest  in  gold  and  adventure,and  some  colorful  crimes  in  which  the  English  had  their  part.John  Cabot, originally  from  Genoa  but  a  citizen  of  Venice, was  established  as  a  trader  in  Bristol, England, when  he  made  a  journey  in  1497. But  his  ship,the Matthew,with  its  crew  of  eighteen, did  no  more  than  see  an  island(probably off  the  New  England  coast) and  return  home.He  and  his  son  made  further  voyages  across  the  north  Atlantic  which  enabled  the  English  crown  to  claim  a  “legal” title  to  North  America.But for  a  long  time  afterwards  the  Europeans’ interest  in  America  was  mainly  confined  to  the  Spanish  activities  further  south.

The  first  beginning  of  permanent  settlement  in  North  American  was  nearly  a  hundred  years  after  Columbus’s  first  voyage.The  Englishman  Sir  Walter  Raleigh  claimed  the  whole  of  North  America  for  England,calling  it  Virginia.In  1585  he  sent  a  small  group  of  people  who  landed  in  Roanoke  Island,but  they  stayed  only  for  a  year  and  then  went  back  to  England  with  another  expedition,led  by  Drake,in 1587.A  second  group  who  landed  in  1587  had  all  disappeared  when  a  further  expedition  arrived  in  1590.

The  first  permanent  settlement  in  North  America  was  in  1607.English  capitalists  founded  two  Virginia  companies,a  southern  one  based  in  London  and  a  northern  one  based  in  Bristol.It  was  decided  to  give  the  name  New  England  to  the  northern  area.The  first  settles  in  Virginia  were  little  more  than  wage  slaves  to  the  company.All  were  men  and  the  experiment  was  not  very  successful. Many  died.Those  who  survived  lived  in  miserable  conditions.By  1619 the  colony  had  only  a  thousand  people.

Cells  and  Temperature

Cells  cannot  remain  alive  outside  certain  limits  of  temperature,and  much  narrower  limits  mark  the  boundaries  of  effective  functioning.Enzyme（酶）systems  of  mammals  and  birds  are  most  efficient  only  within  a  narrow  range  around  37℃；a  departure  of  a  few  degrees  from  this  value  seriously  impairs  their  functioning.Even  though  cells  can  survive  wider  fluctuations,the  integrated  actions  of  bodily  systems  are  impaired. Other  animals  have  a  wider  tolerance  for  changes  of  bodily  temperature.

For  centuries  it  has  been  recognized  that  mammals  and  birds  differ  from  other  animals  in  the  way  they  regulate  body  temperatures.Ways  of  characterizing  the  difference  have  become  more  accurate  and  meaningful  over  time,but  popular  terminology  still  reflects  the  old  division  into “warm-blooded” and “cold-blooded” species;warm-blooded  included  mammals  and  birds,whereas  all  other  creatures  were  considered  cold-blooded.As  more  species  were  studied,it  became  evident  that  this  classification  was  inadequate.A  fence  lizard  or  a  desert  iguana（鬣蜥）—each  cold-blooded---usually  has  a  body  temperature  only  a  degree  or  two  below  that  of  humans  and  so  is  not  cold.Therefore  the  next  distinction  was  made  between  animals  that  maintain  a  constant  body  temperature,called  homotherms（同温动物），and  those  whose  body  temperature  varies  with  their  environment,called  poikilotherms(变温动物).But  this  classification  also  proved  inadequate,because  among  mammals  there  are  many  that  vary  their   body  temperatures  during  hibernation.Furthermore, many  invertebrates(无脊椎动物) that  live  in  the  depths  of  the  ocean  never  experience  a  change  in  the  chill  of  the  deep  water,and  their  body  temperatures  remain  constant.

The  current  distinction  is  between  animals  whose  body  temperature  is  regulated  chiefly  by  internal  metabolic  processes  and  those  whose  temperature  is  regulated  by, and  who  get  most  of  their  heat  from, the  environment.The  former  are  called  endotherms(恒温动物)， and  the  latter  are  called   ectotherms(外温动物).Most  ectotherms  do  regulate  their  body  temperature, and  they  do  so  mainly  by  locomoting  to  favourable  sites  or  by  changing  their  exposure  to  external  to  sources  of  heat.Endotherms(mainly  mammals  and  birds) also  regulate  their  temperature  by  choosing  favorable  environments, but  primarily  they  regulate  their  temperatures  by  making  a  variety  of  internal  adjustments.

11.The  passage  mainly  discusses_______ ( D )

A.body  temperatures  of  various  animals

B.The  newest  research  on  measuring  temperature

C.Methods  of  temperature  reduction

D.The  classification  of  animals  by  temperature  regulation

13.In  general,the  temperature  of  endotherms  is  regulated______. ( B )

A.consciously     B.internally      

C.inadequately     D.environmentally

14.According  to  the  passage,the  chief  way  in  which  ectotherms  regulate  their  temperature  is  by________. ( A )

A.seeking  out  appropriate  locations

B.Hibernating  part  of  the  year

C.Staying  in  deep  water

D.Triggering  certain  metabolic  processes

15.According  to  the  passage,human  beings  mainly  regulate  their  body  temperatures  by_______. ( B )

Digital  Video  Express

①A pay-for-play  system  for  video DVD will  emerge  by  summer  as  an  alternative,and  possibly  a  competitor,to  the  DVD format  currently  available.

②The  new  system,called  Digital Video Express(Divx),operates  like  a  DVD  player,except  for  the  specially  coded  discs.These  will  cost  ＄5  for  initial  viewing  over  a  48-hour  period  and  can  be  viewed  again  for  additional  fees  and  even  purchased  for  unlimited  viewing.

③ Divx  combines  the  service  of  a  video  rental(出租的) store  with  the  operation  of  a  pay-per-view  channel.Unlike  a  rented  videotape,though,the Divx  disc  needn’t  be  returned.Customers  can  retain  the  disc  for  reply  in  the  future  at  an  additional  fee,or  simply  throw  it  away.

④ Subsequent  plays,or  the  purchase  of  unlimited-viewing  rights,are  billed  to  the  customer’s  Divx  account  and  charged  to  a  credit  card.The  player’s  build-in  memory  keeps  track  of  all  Divx  plays,and  sends  this  information  by  toll-free  phone modem(调制解调器)to  the  Divx  record-keeping  centre.Each  Divx  disc  and  player  has  a  unique  identification  code,so  the  system  knows  which  discs  have  been  played  and  where.

⑤ Some  Divx  discs  could  be  converted  for  unlimited  play  at  a  price  likely  to  be  lower  than  buying  a  conventional  DVD.Others,called  Divx  Gold,would  be  sold  from  the  beginning  for  unlimited  play  without  further  charge.Although  conventional  DVDs  will  run  in  a  Divx  player,conventional  DVD  players  will  lack  the  decoding(解码)and  communications  ability  to  play  Divx discs.Divx  players  will  be  offered  by  Panasonic,RCA,and  Zenith.

Task 1

16.Paragraph ①   B   

17.Paragraph ②   C   

18.Paragraph ③   F   

19.Paragraph ④   E      

20.Paragraph ⑤   D   

Task 2

21.The Divx disc is  different  from  the  rented  videotape  in  that  once  offered,the  Divx disc   A   

22.Every Divx disc has  a  special  code  so  that  the  rental  shop  can  identify  which  disc   E   

23.If  converted  for  unlimited  use,the Divx disc   D   

24.The  conventional  DVD  player  cannot  play  any  Divx  disc  because  the  disc   B   25.Panasonic,RCA,and Zenith will   C

How  do  Movies  or  Television  Influences  People’s  Behavior?

The  impact  that  modern  mass  media  such  as  movies  or  television  has  had  on  our  daily  life,and  society  in  general,is  undeniable.No  doubt  it  will  become  more  and   more  sophisticated,and  so  fascinating  that  virtually  nobody  will  be  able  to  escape. 26   E    They  grow  long-hair  regardless  of  their  sex, commonly  part  of  which  are  dyed  in  gold;they  were  jeans  in  each  and  every  season, usually  knees  of  which  are  deliberately  tattered;boys  are  fond  of  earrings  or  other  odd  pendants; and  girls  are  keen  on  Marlboros  and  weird  coarse  languages.

The  major  means  that  mass  media  influences  the  public  is  by  creating  topics  of  discussion  in  the  society. 27   B    Titanic  had  brought  a  worldwide  uproar  by  its  extolling,fascinating  and  immortal  love;Prime  Color  and  Wag  the  Dog  met  the  national  debate  on  right  and  duty  of  the  president  of  the  United  States.Antiwar  movies  such  as  Tears  of  the  Sun  and  All  Quite  On  the  Western  Front  among  numerous  others  have  been  raising  the  question  that  is  any  war  really  to  uphold  justice  or  is  it  really  worthy  that  an  individual  makes  sacrifices  to  this  country  and  at  the  same  ignores  his  own  family  or  his  personal  values?

 28   F    The “important” issues  are  to  be  found  on  the  first  pages  of  the  newspaper  or  in  the  beginning  of  a  television  program. The  “not  important” stories  are  the  ones  that  are  not  being  told  at  all. 29   D   In  fact  censorships   present  all  mass  media  including  its  distributing  means  such  as  the  Internet. By  prearranging  public  issue, the  mass  media  makes  decisions  for  us.Even  though  there  are  critical  thinking  individuals  in  any  society, they  are  definite  minority; the  public  in  whole  indeed  lack  skills  of  critical  thinking, and  therefore  they  are  often  led  by  the  media.

In  brief,mass  media, by  offering  topics  and  affecting  the  ways  in  which  we  discuss “the  important  issues”, has  a  strong  influence  on  our  perception  of  the  truth, of  the  world  or  of  the  structure  of  our  society. 30   A

Preserving  Nature  for  Future

Demands  for  stronger  protection  for  wildlife  in  Britain  sometimes  hide  the  fact  that  similar  needs  are  felt  in  the  rest  of  Europe.Studies  by  the  Council  of  Europe  have 31   E   that  45  per  cent  of  reptile(爬行动物) species  and  24  per  cent  of  butterflies(蝴蝶) are  in 32   K    of  dying  out.

European  concern  for  wildlife  was  outlined  by  Dr.Peter Baum, an  expert  in  the  environment  and  natural  resources  division  of  the  council, when  he  spoke  at  a  conference  arranged  by  the  administrators  of  a  British  national  park. The 33   J     is   one  of  the  few  areas  in  Europe  to  hold  the  council’s  diploma(证书) for  nature  reserves(自然保护区)，he  was 34   G     that  public  opinion  was  turning  against  national  parks, and  that  those  set  up  in  the  1960s  and  1970s  could  not  be 35   D     up  today.

“No  area  could  be  expected  to   survive  both  as  a  true 36   A   reserve  and  as  a  tourist  attraction.” he  went  on.The  short-sighted  view  that  reserves  had  to  serve 37   C    human  demands  for  outdoor  recreation  should  be  38   I    by  full  acceptance  of  their  importance  as  places  to  preserve  nature  for  the  future.

“We  forget  that  they  are  the  guarantee  of  life  systems,on  which  any  built-up  area  ultimately  depends.” Dr.Baum  went  on.“We  could  manage  without  most 39   H     products, but  we  could  not  manage  without  nature.However, our  natural  environment  areas,which  are  the  original  parts  of  our  countryside, have  shrunk(缩小) to  mere  islands  in  a  spoiled  and 40   B   polluted  landmass.”

Why  do  We  Use  E-mail?

Personal  computers  and  the  Internet  give  people  new  choices  about  how  to  spend  their  time.

Some  may  use  this 41   freedom   (free)  to  share  some  time  with  certain  friends  or  family  members,but  new  technology  will  also  let  them  stay  in  closer  touch  with  those  they  care  about  most.I  know  this  from 42   personal   (person) experience.

E-mail  makes  it  easy  to  work  at  home, which  is  where  I  now  spend  most  weekends  and  evenings.My 43   working   (work)  hours  aren’t  necessarily  much 44   shorter   (short) than  they  once  were  but  I  spend  fewer  of  them  at  the  office.This  lets  me  share  more  time  with  my  young  daughter  than  I  might  have  if   she’d  been  born  before  electronic  mail  became  such  a  45   practical   (practice) tool.

The  Internet  also  makes  it  easy  to  share 46   thoughts    (think)  with  a  group  of  friend.Say  you  do  something  fun, see  a  great  movie  perhaps, and  there  are  four  or  five  friends  who  might  want  to  hear  about  it. If  you  call  each  one, you  may  tire  of 47   telling   (tell) the  story.

With  E-mail,you  just  write  one  note  about  your  experience,at  your 48   convenience   (convenient),and  address  it  to  all  the  friends  you  think  might  be  interested. They  can  read  your  message  when  they  have  time, and  read  only  as  much  as  they  want  to.They  can  reply  when  they  are 49   available   (avail) and  you  can  read  what  they  have  to  say  when  you  have  time.E-mail  is  also an 50   inexpensive   (expense) way  to  stay  in  close  touch  with  people  who  live  far  away.
