The Smog(烟雾)
  For over a month，Indonesia was in crisis．Forest fires raged out of control as the country
suffered its worst drought for 50 years．Smoke from the fires mixed with sunlight and hot dry air
to form a cloud of smog．This pollution quickly spread and within days it was hanging over
neighbouring countries including Malaysia，Singapore and Thailand．
  When the smoke combined with pollution from factories and cars，it soon became poisonous
(有毒的)．Dangerous amounts of CO became trapped under the smog and pollution levels rose．
People wheezed(喘息)and coughed as they left the house and their eyes watered immediately．
  The smog made it impossible to see across streets and whole cities disappeared as grey soot
(烟灰)covered everything．In some areas，water was hosed(用胶管浇)from high-rise city
buildings to try and break up the smog
  Finally, heavy rains, which came came in November. Put out the fires and clear the air . But the
environmental costs and health problems will remain Many people from South—Eastern Asian
cities already suffer from breathing huge amounts of Car exhaust fumes(汽车排放的废气)and
factory pollution Breathing problems could well increase and many non—sufferers may have
difficulties for the first time．Wildlife has suffered too．In lowland forests，elephants，deer, and
tigers have been driven out of their homes by smog．
  But smog is not just an Asian problem. In fact .was world was first used in London in 1905 to
describe the mixture of smoke and thick fog．Fog often hung over the capital．Sometimes the
smog was SO thick and poisonous that people were killed by breathing problems or in accidents．
About 4，000 Londoners died within five days as a result of thick smog in 1952．
16 Indonesia was in crisis because of the drought．
  A Right    B Wrong    C Not mentioned
17 The smog spread to neighbouring countries．

18 The air-pollution index went up to 300 within a few days.
  A Right    B Wrong    C Not mentioned
19 Water was used to try to break up the smog.

A Star Is Born
1 The VLT(Very Large Telescope)is the world’s largest telescope(望远镜)and is taking
astronomers(72文学家)further back to the Big Bang than they ever thought possible．Located
2,600 metres up io the Chilean Andes，it has four huge mirrors，each about the size of a London
bus．The VLT is SO powerful it Can spot a burning match 10.000 kilometres away．
2 This astonishing power will allow astronomers to see events in space from the birth of stars
to the collision(碰撞)of galaxies(星系)on the edge of the cosmos(宇宙)．The VLT is giving
astronomers their best-ever view of the cosmos．The power of the VLT to see the smallest detail at
the furthest distances makes its designers amazed．
3 Take the case of Eta Carinae，one of the most explosive stars in the universe．This star
produces ultraviolet laser rays(紫外线)and it will destroy itself in a few million years’time．It is
five times brighter than the sun and when it explodes it is going to be a sight worth waiting for 1
4  But it is at distances of millions，even billions，of light years that the VLT really shows its
power．The VLT can detect light that set out on its journey before the earth even existed．This
gives astronomers their first—ever detailed views of events that took place in the earliest days of
the cosmos．
5  In other words．the VLT is a kind of a time machine．It takes astronomers back to a time
when complete galaxies crashed into each other．The effects of these past collisions Can now be
seen by scientists，and astronomers believe the telescope will reveal more about these exciting
events in the years to come．One day, we might be able to say we have traveled back to the
beginning of time，and we will have a much clearer picture of how our planet was born．
23 Paragraph 1            
24 Paragraph 2            
25 Paragraph 3            
26 Paragraph 4            
A Enents That Took place Before the Earth Existd
B Power of the Telescope
C Details of Eta Carinae
D Invention of a Time Machine
E Biggest Telescope
27 The VLT will allow scientists to see events            
28 The designers of the VlT are surprised at            
29 Eta Carinae is taken            
30 Scientists believe the VLT will tell us more about            
A its detecting power
B millions of light years away in space
C the location of the VLT
D as an example
E the birth of the earth
F the rotation of the earth
第4部分：阅读理解(第31-45题，每题3分，共4 5分)

从每题所给的4个选项中选择1个最佳答案，涂在答题卡相应的位置上。
第一篇
Pushbike Danger
  Low speed bicycle crashes can badly injure——or even kill——children if they fall onto the
ends of the handlebars(车把)．So a team of engineers is redesigning it to make it safer
  Kristy Arbogast，a bioengineer at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania，
began the project with her colleagues．The cases they reviewed about serious abdominal(腹部的)
injuries in children in the past 30 years showed that more than a third were caused by bicycle
accidents．”The task was to identify how the injuries occurred and come up with seine
countermeasures，”she says
  By interviewing the children and their parents，Arbogast and her team were able to
reconstruct many of the accidents and identified a common cause for serious injuries They
discovered that most cases occur when children hit an obstacle at slow speed，causing them to
topple f摇摆)over．To maintain their balance the children turn the handlebars through 90
degrees—but their momentum(冲力)forces them into the end of the handlebars．The bike then
falls over and the other end of the handlebars hits the ground，pushing it in to their abdomen(腹
部．
  The solution the group came up with is a handgrip (握柄)fitted with a spring and damping
(减速)system. The spring absorbs up to 50 per cent of the forces transmitted(传递)through the
handlebars in all impact．The group hopes to commercialize the device，which should add only a
few dollars to t}le cost of a bike．“But our task has been one of education because up until now．
bicycle manufacturers were unaware of the problem，”says Arbogast．
31 The engineers are trying to improve the handlebars because
  A they are not beautiful
  B they may kill children
  C they are likely to crash．
  D they affect the speed of the bike
32 How many abdominal injuries in children were caused by bicycle accidents?
    A Thirty．
    B Ninety．
    C 50 percent．
    D More than a third.
