Many of the villagers have blue or green eyes, long noses and even fair hair. A local man, Cai Junnian, is nicknamed by his friends and relatives Cai the Roman, and is one of many villagers who believe they are descendants (后裔) of the lost legion (罗马军团). Archeologists plan to conduct digs in the region along the ancient Silk Road to search for remains of buildings built in order to defend an area against attack or other buildings built by the fabled army. “We hope to prove the legend by digging and discovering more evidence of Chinas early contact with the Roman Empire,” Yuan Honggeng, the head of a newly established Italian Studies Centre at Lanzhou University in Gansu Province, told the China Daily newspaper. The genetic tests tended to support the theory that the Roman legion settled in the area in the first century BC after fleeing a fierce battle. The battle took place in 53 BC between an army led by Marcus Crassus, a Roman general, and a larger force of Parthians, from what is now Iran, bringing the Roman Empires eastward expansion to an abrupt stop. Thousands of the Romans were killed, including Crassus himself, but some soldiers were said to have evaded the fighting and marched east to avoid the enemy. The wandering Roman soldiers are thought to have settled on the grassland of western China. The theory was first put forward in the 1950s by Homer Dubs, a professor of Chinese history at Oxford University. 41. What is the passage mainly about? A. Chinas early contact with the Roman Empire. B. A great discovery of Roman legion in Liqian. C. The theory put forward by a professor of Chinese history.D. Some Chinese villagers could be descendants of Roman soldiers.42. Why is Cai Junnian nicknamed Cai the Roman?A. Because they want to make fun of him.B. Because he likes to be called that.C. Because he has some Caucasian features.D. Because he looks different from the other villagers.43. According to the theory, Roman soldiers settled on the grassland of western China to _. A. avoid being killed B. expand eastwardC. conquer China D. seek help from the local people44. The underlined word “evaded” in the fourth paragraph can be replaced by “_”.A. stoppedB. escapedC. recordedD. controlled45. We can learn from the fourth paragraph that _.A. Iran used to be part of the Roman Empire B. the Roman legion was defeated in the battle C. some soldiers successfully settled down in China led by their general D. the Roman army never thought they would meet the force of ParthiansC Scientists have wondered for a long time about where the substances necessary for life came from. Water exists on the earth and the planet Mars. But what about important carbon-based molecules (分子)? Astronomers have recently found some surprising evidence that some of those materials may have come from comets (彗星). Scientists at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland found the substance glycine brought back to the earth was from a comet. Glycine is one of the common amino acids (氨基酸). On the earth, organisms use glycine to create proteins. The discovery is exciting because it suggests that the building blocks (基本要素) of life may be more common in the universe than scientists thought. The story of how space scientists were able to recover the material and bring it back to the earth is just as exciting. NASA captured the material using the Stardust spacecraft launched in nineteen ninety-nine from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Stardust passed through a cloud of material surrounding comet Wild Two in January of two thousand four. A comet is a huge ball of frozen gas and dust that often releases a long trail of material as it nears the sun. A specially designed collector gathered dust particles from the comet and stored them on the spacecraft. Stardust then returned to the earth and released a special reentry capsule (返回舱)containing the material it had collected. The recovery of the Stardust capsule was difficult because of its high reentry speed. The capsule was traveling at almost forty-six thousand kilometers an hour. It set a record as the fastest human-made object ever entering the atmosphere. The Stardust capsule successfully landed on a dry plain in the state of Utah on January fifteenth, two thousand six. Since then, scientists around the world have been working to study substances gathered from Comet Wild Two. 46. Which of the following made scientists excited according to the text? A. The existence of water on Mars.B. The signs of life on Comet Wild Two.C. The discovery of amino acid on a comet. D. The method of creating proteins with glycine.47. How long has Stardust travelled in space?A. For two years.B. For five years. C. For seven years. D. For eight years. 48. The underlined word “captured” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “_”.A. caught B. recognizedC. analysed D. combined49. The discovery has made scientists believe that _.A. water exists in large amounts on other planetsB. man can invent new forms of life with glycineC. life on the earth may have all come from cometsD. the building blocks of life exist more widely in the universe50. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Stardust?A. Its a material found by NASA on Comet Wild Two.B. It used to contain materials gathered from a comet. C. It traveled around comet Wild Two for about two years.D. It was the fastest man-made object ever sent up into space. D Each year, Americans throw away millions of tons of electronic devices (设备). That means business is good for a small electronics recycler in Virginia.Company President Jeremy established PC Recycler. In the processing center of his company, workers were busy taking apart televisions, cell phones and computers anything electronic. “Electronics recycling is the fastest growing waste stream in the US right now,” Jeremy says.Recycling electronic waste isnt a single job. Newer devices can be rebuilt and resold. Breaking down electronics into small parts to melt and purify is another part. Operations Manager Andrew says, “Boards have the highest value, so you can actually see different types of metals on the back. Some of the older ones are mainly all gold. Thus, computer circuit boards are rich resources.” Gold now sells for more than 1,300 dollars an ounce. 25% of PC Recyclers sales come from selling parts to refiners (提炼商). Refining companies pay more than ten dollars a kilogram for computer boards. PC Recycler can also earn more by holding metal-rich parts until prices rise. “If coppers price increases one day, we can ship all of our copper and sell at the market,” Andrew says.Computers also hold private information. Securing that data is the fastest growing part of the recycling business. Completely removing data from a computer hard drive is not easy. However, PC Recycler can remove data completely and recycle the drives.PC Recycler supports the Basel Action Network, which seeks to limit harmful waste and technology. The company says it doesnt export electronics to India or Africa where environmental rules are weak.PC Recycler has been in business since 2003, expanding from waste management to other more technical services. “There really arent a lot of industries out there that are like this. This is a potential industry,” Jeremy says.51. How do the workers in PC Recycler deal with the computer boards?A. They sell the boards to the refiners.B. They store the boards until prices rise.C. They change the boards into better ones.D. They take precious metal away from the boards.52. If the workers in PC Recycler want to recycle the hard drive, they should _ at first.A. make it look newer B. remove the data on itC. melt some bad parts D. limit harmful waste53. What does Jeremy think of the business of recycling electronic waste?A. He thinks its very difficult to earn money.B. He thinks it useless.C. He thinks it is a potential industry.D. He thinks it can improve the worlds economy.54. It is implied in the passage that PC Recycler _.A. isnt good at recycling electronic wasteB. is an example in protecting environmentC. will improve its skills in recycling wasteD. will be responsible for worlds pollution55. What is the passage mainly about?A. An introduction to the PC Recycler.B. A new technology of recycling electronic devices.C. PC Recyclers new way of protecting environment.D. The trouble PC Recycler has met in recycling waste.四、书面表达 （共两节，满分45分）第一节 阅读表达(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)Positive people may owe their optimism to a gene variant (基因变体) that helps them focus on the good and ignore the bad.Thats the conclusion from a study examining peoples subliminal(潜意识的) preferences for happy, neutral, and threatening images.Volunteers who had inherited two copies of the “long” variant of 5-HTTLPRa gene that controls transport of the moodshowed clear avoidance of negative images, such as fierce animals, and a clear preference for positive ones, such as puppies. People with this “happiness gene” variant combination are called “LL” carriers.The effect wasnt seen in volunteers with at least one version of the “short” variant of the same gene. These people showed no strong preference whatever the content of the images. In repeated tests, the 97 volunteers had less than a second to identify dots hidden in one or other of a pair of adjacent(邻近的) images. Each pair contained a neutral image alongside one that was either positive or negative.The researchers found that LL volunteers took 18.3 milliseconds longer on average to spot the dots in a negative rather than neutral image, suggesting a subliminal avoidance of bad images. On the contrary, they noticed the dots 23.5 milliseconds sooner in the positive images, such as lovely puppies, than _, suggesting they subliminally liked them. Fox and her colleagues conclude that the LL volunteers may be born to seek out positive events and ignore negative events. Earlier studies had revealed a tendency for negativity and anxiety among individuals with at least one short variant of the gene, but the study is the first to reveal an optimistic tendency in LL individuals.56.
