But unlike human, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet awaystraight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared(红外线)scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide(杀虫剂)spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that dont have pest problems.Even better, Paleys Remote Scanning Services pany could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a colourcoded map showing where plants were running “fevers”. Farmers could then spotspray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paleys pany closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and longterm backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. “This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States, ” says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.51Plants will send out an increased amount of heat when they are_.Afacing an infrared scanner Bsprayed with pesticidesCin poor physical condition Dexposed to excessive sun rays52In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to_.Aestimate the damage to the crops Bdraw a colourcoded mapCmeasure the size of the affected area Dlocate the problem area53Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by_.Aresorting to spotspraying Btransforming poisoned rainCconsulting infrared scanning experts Ddetecting crop problems at an early stage54The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties_.Aits high cost Bthe lack of official supportCthe lack of financial support Dits failure to help increase productionBOne notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor，which had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.Obviously，most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings(法律诉讼)，and new devices appear continually. Before buying，it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.55It can be inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are_.Aobjective Bcostly Cunreliable Dillegal56FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product _.Aif it is a drug Bif it is a deviceCif its consumers make plaints Dif its distributors challenge FDAs authority57The Relaxacisor is mentioned as_.Aa product which was designed to produce electricityBa product whose distributor was involved in a legal case Ca successful advertisement of a beauty productDan example of a quality beauty product58The author intends to_.Amake consumers aware of the promoters false promisesBshow the weakness of the law on product safetyCgive advice on how to keep young and beautifulDintroduce the organization of FDACBarack Obama makes his first trip to Asia as president this week, leaving behind a host of domestic (国内的) problems with the visit that recognizes the regions economic and diplomatic importance. “Obama”s trip includes stops in Japan, Singapore, China and South Korea, and his message will be simple, says Nicolas Lardy at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. “Well, I think his broadest aim is to convince Asians that the United States is fully mitted to the region that we have an agenda thats much broader than they saw over the past eight years of the very heavy focus on anti-terrorism.”Obamas first stop is Japan, where he meets with the new Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama who has promised to steer a diplomatic course more independent of Washington. While Japan is seen as a getting-to-know-you stop, when Obama heads to the Singapore for the APEC meeting, he will likely face pressure on trade. “Many Asians are concerned about what US trade policy will be, and theyve been somewhat alarmed by the fact that the president really hasnt set out very much revision for what US trade policy is in his administration.”But the critical leg of the trip will e in China, his third stop where Obama will have to navigate the plex relationship with the country that is the largest holder of US debt. “As you say, you know, if you owe the bank one dollar, its your problem, if you owe the bank, you know, 3 million dollars, its the banks problem, so its similar with China. I mean they have no interest in trying to use the influence with us, because eventually, theyre the one that they own all those dollars.”Also on the table will be North Korea and Irans nuclear ambitions as well as cooperation on Afghanistan.With Obama enjoying sky high popularity level in the countries he is visiting, detailed results may be beside the point, given that Obama is still in his first year in office, analysts say this trip is mostly about laying the ground work for the future. 59、From the second paragraph, we can infer that .AJapan has not been the closest friend of AmericaBJapan and Singapore will give America some pressure on trade CJapan is concerned about what US trade policy will beDJapan decides not to rely on America too much60、What can you infer about Chinas relation with America in the third paragraph?AChina will sell all its shares in US national debt.BIt will hurt China if the value of the dollar falls.CChina will not be the largest debt holder of US.DChina is US s overseas bank where US can borrow money.61、The author develops the passage mainly .Aby examples Bby cause and effect Cby parison Dby order in time DIt takes more than just setting goals to be happy. It takes positive thinking. How can we attain this? There are a number of factors that can make us think negatively and one of those is diet. In my opinion, a person who eats a lot of take out and fast food is feeding their body junk. Start by eating better foods which give the body much NEEDED minerals. If your physical body is happy, its much easier for your mental body or thinking ability to be happy. Next, exercise. A half-hour a day is remended for positive well being. Then think about good memories you had, or generally think of things that make you smile. Remember, everything you wear costs money but to wear a smile is free. A smile can be the difference between an average day and a great day. If you follow these steps, positive change is inevitable. 62. Which of the statements about depression is TRUE?A.

Whats the passage mainly about? A. To prove the argument that depression can be changed. B. To analyze the danger depression can bring to people. C.

Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier，have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants(被告)But in the executive circle，beauty can bee a liability.While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder，it is harmful to a woman.Handsome male executives were thought as having more integrity than plainer men；effort and ability were thought to account for their success.Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones；their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly，though，the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of attractive overnight successes.Why are attractive women not thought to be able？An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine and an attractive man more masculine(有男子气概的)than the less attractive ones. Thus，an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs，but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the “masculine” qualities required.This is true even in politics. “When the only clue is how he or she looks，people treat men and women differently，”says Anne Bowman，who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs，one of men and one of women，in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again，in the order they would vote for them.The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men，but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.66The underlined word “liability”(in Para.1)most probably means “_”Amisfortune Binstability Cdisadvantage Dburden67In traditionally female jobs，attractiveness_.Areinforces(加强)the feminine qualities requiredBmakes women look more honest and capableCis of primary importance to womenDoften enables women to succeed quickly68Bowmans experiment reveals that when it es to politics，attractiveness_.Aturns out to be an obstacle to menBaffects men and women alikeChas as little effect on men as on womenDis more of an obstacle than a benefit to women69It can be inferred f
