Valuable By-Products of Space
Research
Research that went into developing
the highly specialized technology for space travel
has resulted in many
unexpected 21
applications back on earth. Out of the engineering
that produced rocket motor, space
suits, and
other necessities of space flight came by products
that no one had anticipated. Equipment and 22
designed for use in medicine, industry, and
the home, these valuable by products of space
research, called spin offs,
have improved the
quality of life on earth in many ways.
Some of
the best-known examples of spin-offs from space
research are found in hospitals and doctors'
offices.
One such example is the sight switch,
which was originally developed to allow astronauts
to control their spacecraft
without using
their hands. It is now used by 23 people
to operate devices using eye movements.
Doctors have also benefited from the
technology required to make electronic instruments
small enough and
durable enough for trips into
space. From this technology have come hearing aids
the size of an aspirin and television
cameras
small enough to be 24 to a surgeon's head
to give medical students a close-up view of an
operation.
Biotelemetry, which was
developed to 25 the physical signs of
astronauts by checking their
temperature,
brain-wave activity, breathing rate, and
heartbeat, offers doctors a new means of
monitoring hospital
patients. Biosensors
attached to the body send data by wire or radio.
This information is displayed on 26
for doctors to analyze.
One of the most
valuable 27 of aerospace technology to
industry is a management technique
called the
systems approach. With the aid of computers, this
technique brings together all the elements of a
complex
project, including people, money, and
materials, to assure that everything is completed
at the optimum time. It has
been applied to a
variety of situations 28 to space
exploration. Among them are cancer research,
hospital design, city planning, crime
detection, pollution control, building
construction, and transportation.
The
experience gained from developing NASA spacesuits
was applied to the process of designing clothing
for use
in other 29 . Firefighters now
have lighter and special fire blocking materials
that are more 30
to cracking and
burning. Spacers used for cushioning in moon boots
were adapted for use in athletic shoes that are
designed to reduce fatigue and injury.

If your
parents take out a loan, remind them to make the
payments on time. Otherwise it will become a(n)
31
record in their personal credit reports,
which are playing a(n) 32 big role in
people's daily lives. A story
carried by
Chongqing Morning Post in June, 33 this
trend.
According to the report, a
Chongqing student borrowed money from the bank to
34 his university
studies. After he
graduated in 2005, he went to work in Shenzhen.
Later, he wanted to buy a house using loans. But
several banks turned down his loan 35 .
The reason was that he had not paid back 1,500
yuan he borrowed
from a bank when he was at
university.
A personal credit rating is
becoming a(n) 36 “pass” in everyday life,
as China establishes a
nationwide credit
database. Personal credit systems go back 150
years. In developed countries, enterprises and
banks use them to decide whether or not to
loan money or do other business with a person.
A credit report 37 the credit
worthiness of an individual, a company, or even a
country. It is a(n)
38 made by credit
bureaus of a borrower's overall credit history and
his or her ability to repay debt. A poor
credit rating means a high risk of defaulting
on a loan, and thus leads to the 39 of a
loan by the lender.
Today in China,
credit history in banks is the major 40 of
a credit report. But in the future, reports
will include information about the payment of
telephone bills, water use fees, electricity and
natural gas bills, and
taxes, according to
officials of the People's Bank of China, the
central bank.
The secrets of long
life
A long healthy life is no accident. It
begins with good genes, but it also depends on
good ___41___. So what’s the
formula for
success In a recent study, scientists have focused
on groups living in several refions where
exceptional
longevity is the norm: Sardinia,
Italy, Loma Linda, California, and the islands of
Okinawa, Japan.
Sardinians
Why do
they live so long __42__ is part of the answer. By
11 . Tonino has already milked four cows, chopped
wood
and walked four miles with his sheep.
Now, taking the day’s first break, he gathers his
grown children, grandson,
around the kitchen
table. Giovanna, his wife, unties a handkerchief
containing a paper-thin flatbread called carta da
musica, pours some red wine, and cut slices
of homemade cheese.
These Sardinians also
benefit from their __43__ history. According to
Paolo Francalacci of the University of Sassari,
80 percent of them are __44__the first
Sardinians, who arrived in the area 11,000 years
ago. Genetic traits made
stronger over
generations may favor longevity. __45__, too, is
a Sardinians diet is loaded with fruits and
vegetables, milk and milk products, fish and
wine. Most of these items are homegrown.
Adventists
The study found that the
Adventists’ habit of consuming beans, soy milk,
tomatoes, and other fruits __46__their risk
of
developing certain cancers. It also suggested that
eating whole wheat bread, drinking five glasses of
water a day,
and, most __47__, consuming four
servings of nuts a week reduced their risk of
heart disease. And it found that not
eating
red meat had been helpful in avoiding both cancer
and heart disease.
Okinawans
The first
thing you notice about Ushi Okushima is her
__48__. It fills the room with pure joy. This
rainy afternoon she
sits comfortably wrapped
in a blue kimono. Her thick hair is combed back
from her suntanned face, revealing alert
green, eyes. Not long ago, she started wearing
perfume. When asked about the perfume, she
__49__that she has a
new for a young woman,
perhaps, but Ushi is 103.
With an average
life expectancy of 78 years for men and 86 years
for women, Okinawans are among the world’s
longest lived people. This is undoubtedly due
in part to Okinawans warm and __51__ climate and
scenic beauty.
Senior citizens living in these
islands tend to enjoy years __52__disabilities.
Okinawans have very low rates of cancer
and
heart disease compared to American seniors.
A
lean diet of food grown on the island and a
philosophy of __53__--- may also be a factor. “eat
until your stomach is
80 percent full.” may
also be factors. Ironically, this healthy way of
eating was born of Okushima grew up barefoot
and poor, her family grew sweet potatoes,
which formed the core of every meal. During World
War II, when the
men of the island joined the
army, Ushi and her friend Setsuko fled to the
center of the island with their children.
“We
__55__ terrible hunger,” Setsuko recalls.

In today's American society,
background checks have become a routine part of
hiring process.
Employers use them to assess
___56____ workers, judging whether they are
qualified for the posts.
Through background
checks, employers can also make sure that the
information applicants provide is
____57___,
which suggests the applicants' moral quality.
Then what do background checks investigate
Many ____58___ a review of the employee's
___59____ history trying to confirm whether
the employee has ever been fired or forced to
resign.
Employers also pay attention to the
length of unemployment, afraid that long-time
absence from
___60____ may bring negative
influence to the employee's performance.
Sometimes, an applicant's
residential history
is also an issue. Jobs with state or local
governments often require that the
employee
live in certain areas, ___61____the chances for
them to have contact with ill-intentioned
people. Besides, living near the work place is
always ___62____as it saves time and fares on
transportation. Another item which can't be
____63___ is the applicant's criminal history ---
whether
he has ever been arrested or put into
prison. Although __64__ offences like traffic
ticketing or queue
jumping are usually
pardoned, breaking a criminal law is rarely spared
and, in most cases, is sure to
result in the
____65___ of the employment. Then comes the social
history. A background check that
involves the
applicant's social history is generally needed for
government posts or employment in
finance and
law industries that require greater self-
dicipline. A small mistake in these ____66___ may
result in huge loss. The investigation usually
checks drug use, family relationships and social
contacts,
in order to avoid ___67____someone
unsuitable for the posts. Background investigators
who look
into social history may interview
neighbors and professional references recognized
by the applicant.
Finally in the field of
education background, an application form may ask
for copies of licenses or
university diplomas
to show the applicant's __68__ performances. In
many instances, an education
background check
is so particular about ____69___ that
investigators even confirm the date on which
the employee earned his degree to determine if
it ___70____ the information the employee provided
on his application.

Biology may not be everything, but genes
apparently have a far greater influence on human
behavior than is
commonly thought.
Similarities ranging from hobbies to bodily
gesture are being found in pairs separated at
birth.
Many of these behaviors are “things you
would never think of looking at if you were going
to study the genetics of
behavior,” says
psychologist Thomas J. Bouchard, Jr. , director
of the Minnesota Center for Twin and Adoption
Research at the University of Minnesota.
Bouchard reports that so far, exhaustive
psychological tests and questionnaires have been
completed with
approximately 50 pairs of
identical twins reared apart, 25pairs of fraternal
twins reared apart and comparison
groups of
twins reared together. “We were amazed at the
similarity in posture and expressive style,” says
Bouchard.
“It’s probably the feature of the
study that’s grabbed us the most.” Twins tend to
have similar mannerisms, gestures,
speed and
tempo in talking, habits and jokes. Many of the
twins dressed in similar fashion--one male pair
who had
never previously met arrived in
England sporting identical beards, haircuts,
glasses and shirts.
The most striking example
of common psychopathology(精神病理学), however, came
from a pair of twins
raised apart. One had
been reared by his own(poor) family the other had
been adopted into a “good solid
upper-middle-
class family.”Both are now considered to be
antisocial personalities, suffering from lack of
impulse
control, and both have criminal
histories. Although the twins share, on average,
50 percent ot their genes, Bouchard
suggests
that the overlap is probably considerably more
with this pair.
Personality similarities
between the identical twins raised apart are
almost the same as they are with identical
twins raised together, according to the
results of a test developed by University of
Minnesota psychologist Auke
Tellegen. His
personality questionnaire contains scales such as
“social closeness,””harm
avoidance”and”well-
being.”The researchers were especially surprised
to find that”traditionalism”--a trait implying
conservatism and respect for authority--can be
inherited. In fact, says Bouchard, his and other
studies have found
about 11 personality traits
that appear to have significant genetic input.
Overall, the emerging findings of the
Minnesota study constitute a powerful disproof of
those who maintain
that environmental
influences are the primary shaping forces of
personality. The textbooks are going to have to be
rewritten, Bouchard predicts.
80. Why
does Bouchard say these behaviors are “things you
would never think of looking at if you were going
to
study the genetics of behavior”
A.
These behaviors seemed too unimportant for
scientists to observe.
B. These
behaviors seemed too intimate to allow scientists
to observe them.
C. Psychologists assumed
these external characteristics could not be
biologically based.
D. Psychologists
assumed the causes of these behaviors were too
complicated for current methods of
observations.
81. The word “identical”(in
most probably means________.
A.
fashionable B. alike C.
complex D. identified
82. According to
the passage, Auke Tellegen agrees that
_______________.
A. some textbooks on genes
and behavior will be rewritten quite soon.
B.
people’s behaviors and personalities depend at
large on their genes
C. his personality
questionnaire can indicate people’s 11 personality
traits
D. the environmental influences have
great effect on people’s personalities
81.
What does the passage mainly talk about
generally share the same hobbies and gestures if
they are raised apart.
have a greater
influence on human behavior than is commonly
thought.
from upper-middle-class family are
the same as those from poor family.
tend to
dress in similar fashion even when brought up in
different families.
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by
using the sentences given below. Each sentence can
be used only
once. Note that there are two
more sentences than you need.
A. These special
biological features are not restricted to men.
B. However , it doesn’t mean women are always
weaker than men.
C. There must be something in
their genes which gives them such endurance.
D. New research shows that practice is also a
determining factor for athletes’ success.
E.
The biological make-up of an individual is now a
huge factor in determining our choice of an
athlete.
F. Scientists say that in order
to be dominant in a sport, an athlete now needs to
possess at least
one unusual physical quality.
Sports stars have a natural advantage
Scientists have identified the clear
biological advantages that give the world’s
sporting champions a head start in
life before
they have even begun their rigorous training
programmes.
The coach for the French
Olympic team says:” we measure special attributes
between the ages of 16 and 18. But
only one in
10,000 people has the physical aspects needed to
compete at the very top level in sporting events.
_82____ . We take into account the height,
strength and endurance of a person. We also regard
mental application
as important, how an
individual reacts when the competition gets really
tough.”
Scientists say that medical
evidence is playing an increasingly important role
in the selection of athletes. A study
of the
40-year dominance of Kenyan runners in long
distance athletic events has revealed that 45
percent of them
come from the Nandi tribe.
What is remarkable is that this tribe makes up
only 3 percent of the Kenyan . Athletic
organizations consider these genetic factors a
good indicator when selecting sthletes to produce
superior running
performances.
__84____. For example, David Beckham’s bandy legs
have been partly credited with helping to put a
spin on the
football when he takes a free kick
for England. Other biological characteristics are
more measurable. The American
tennis
player, Andy Roddick, has the fastest serve in the
game. He is able to arch his back so much that it
increases
the rotation of his arm to 130
degrees. This is 44 percent better than the
average professional player and this allows
them to drive the ball over the net at 240
kilometers per hour. Michael Phelps, the 14-times
Olympic swimming
champion has over-sized feet
which act like flippers to propel him through the
water.
__85_____. Mia Hamm, probably the
best all-round woman footballer in the world,
produces less than one liter
of sweat an hour
when doing vigorous exercise, which is half the
human average. When it comes to speed, take the
example of woman racing driver, Liz Halliday.
A normal person would take 300 milliseconds to
make a reactive
decision. She can do it in 260
milliseconds. It may not sound much quicker but at
top race speeds, this makes a
difference of
three car lengths.
The difference between
success and failure is very small and all these
biological factors are crucial in finding
future champions.
Hitting the right button
It has been
found that in some countries,achievement in some
subjects at school is not always
good for boys
as it is is possible that using computers may be
a way to solve this problem.
Many boys
seem to have a natural liking for computers,but it
can often be hard to leave the
screen and
concentrate on the work the teacher wants them to
do.
As computers are becoming more and
more important in the world of education today,it
is
natural to assume that computers can help
greatly with boys who do not do too well at school
and
need to raise their general educational
boys appear to be more confident than girls in
using they
need to use computers more
frequently ,especially at home.
Researchers at universities now think that it
could be a really good way of re-engaging
under-achieving boys in the learning
process,and teachers have indicated that it does
have found
that,although lots of boys do not
seem to like writing in the classroom,when they
use a computer
they are more wiling to compose
longer pieces of writing and use different issue
of unintelligible
handwriting is no longer a
problem,either,as the neatness and presentation
standards rise when boys
use a computer to
print out their work.
Many boys
welcome the “hands on” approach of
computer,However,researchers and teachers
need
to be careful that boys don’t just “cut and
paste”things that they have found on the internet,
but haven’t read,and hand it in as a completed
boys overestimate how good they are and think they
can do things without any need to develop
proper research skills and make their written work
more
boys take short cuts,or look at internet
sites they haven’t been asked to look may not
plan or think
carefully about their work,or
they may try to finish their work tendency is not
going to be
completely cured by using way to
get boys to concentrate properly on the work they
have been
asked to do may be to encourage them
to use their computers at ,they also need to be
set tasks that
are interesting and relevant to
them.
As in all things,the interaction
between the pupil,the teacher and the computer is
crucial.
