The throwers lack of distance was a blessing. Had he gathered tips from the petitors of the hammer throw(链球) petition, which was taking place in the infield at the same time as the 100 final, the bottle could have hit one of the petitors. It ended up landing a few feet from Blake (lane5).Edith Bosch, a female Dutch judoka who won a bronze medal earlier during the Olympics, claimed that the man who threw the bottle was sitting near her and that she “beat” him. Whether thats true or the hyperbole (夸张的语句) of an aggravated athlete was unclear in the minutes after the incident. Pictures show a group of Dutch athletes sitting behind the starting area.Police took the man into custody(监护). He will appear in court on Monday morning.Neither Bolt nor Blake said they knew of the incident until they were informed by reporters. “I dont know who would have done that,” Bolt said.Gatlin was aware of it but implied it was only a slight distraction. “I didnt know what it was,” he said, according to the BBC, “but when youre in those blocks, the whole stadium is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.”1.How many exact athletes are mentioned in the text?A.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a group established by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Program, reports that the average surface temperature of the earth has increased during the twentieth century by 0.6+ 0.2C.(The + 0.2C means that the increase might be as small as 0.4C or as great as 0.8C). This may seem like a small shift, but although regional and shortterm temperatures do fluctuate(变动) over a wide range, global temperatures are generally quite stable. In fact, the difference between todays average global temperature and the average global temperature during the last Ice Age is only about 5 degrees C. Indeed, its warmer today around the world than at any time during the past 1,000years, and the warmest years of the previous century have occurred within the past decade.We also know that human activitiesprimarily the burning of fossil fuelshave increased the greenhouse gas content of the earths atmosphere significantly over the same period. Carbon dioxide is one of the most important greenhouse gases, which trap heat near the planets surface. The vast majority of climate researchers agree with these overall findings. The scientific disagreements that do still exist primarily concern detailed aspects of the processes that make up these largely accepted general themes.You can think of this website as a window into the world of scientific research. In this primer, youll find a general discussion of the physical processes underlying the earths climate, an outline of the kinds of data that may shed light on how the climate is changingand the role of human activity in these changesand a description a some of the questions and uncertainties that researchers continue to explore. This primer is organized into four interconnected sections: the Atmosphere; the Hydrosphere(水圈); the Cryosphere(低温层); and the Biosphere(生物层).8. We know from the text that “IPCC”_.A. engages in the climate and changes about the earth.B. is a group by scientists who like to walk around the moonC. works in the World Meteorological OrganizationD. often greets the passers-by from the outer space9. We know from the text that carbon dioxide _.A. is one of the most important greenhouse gasesB. has fossil fuelsC. traps cold near the planets surfaceD. exist in human activities10. From the text, we know when we say the temperature of something has increased by about 0.7+ 0.2C, the + 0.2C means_.A. the increase might by as small as 0.3C or as great as 0.7CB. the increase might by as small as 0.5C or as great as 0.8CC. the increase might by as small as 0.5C or as great as 0.9CD. the increase might by as small as 0.4 C or as great as 0.8C11. What would be the best title for this text?A. What Are the Scientific DisagreementsB. You Can Think of This WebsiteC. What Do We Know about Global Climate Change?D. The Vast Majority of Climate Researchers参考答案8-11AACC DResearchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a strangers personality simply by looking at the persons shoes.“Shoes convey a thin but useful piece of information about their wearers,” the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality. “Shoes serve a practical purpose, and also serve as nonverbal(非语言的) indications with symbolic messages. People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear.”Medical Daily notes that the details detected in the study include a persons general age, sex, ine, political affiliation(派别), and other personality characteristics, including someones emotional stability.Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color, and condition of someones shoes. In the study, 63 University of Kansas students looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the studys participants. Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most monly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionnaire.So, some of the results were expected: People with higher ines most monly wore expensive shoes, and flashier footwear was typically worn by extroverts(外向者).However, some of the more specific results are interesting. For example, “practical and functional” shoes were generally worn by more “agreeable” people, while ankle boots went more closely with “aggressive” personalities. The strangers of all may be that those who wore “unfortable looking” shoes tend to have “calm” personalities.And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take exceptional care of them, you may suffer from “attachment anxiety”, spending a large amount of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance.There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal types wearing “shabbier and less expensive” shoes.The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality characteristics, but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were showing deep awareness into their personalities.12. According to Omri Gillath, a strangers personality can be judged by _.A. the age and sex of the personB. the personality questionnaire by the personC. the emotional stability of the personD. the shoes the person wears13. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that _.A. a practical purpose is to wear shoesB. people want to buy new shoes they pay attention toC. shoes are vital to their wearersD. the Journal of Research in Personality is a magazine14. The underlined word “agreeable” is closest in meaning to _.A. gentle B. weak C. generous D. considerate15. Which might be the best title for the passage? A. Good Shoes, Good Character B. Bad Shoes, Bad Personality C. Shoes and Their Wearers Personality D. Shoes Shape A Persons Character参考答案12-15DDAC
