     注意：每個空格只填一個單詞。
     From the beginning of human history, people have used oils from seeds and nuts. Most of the time these
oils are used as food, especially in cooking. But sometimes they have other uses. For example, oils are used
in paint and in cleaning products like soap.
     Oil is separated from seeds by using pressure. A machine called a press is often used.
     The first step in pressing the oil from seeds is to crush the seeds between two stones. The crushed seeds
are then put into a cloth bag and the bag is hung up. Some of the oil will flow out of the bag and can be
collected.
     But some oil will remain in the crushed seeds inside the bag. The easiest way to get the rest of the oil out
is to place heavy rocks on the crushed material.
     Another method is to place several cloth bags on top of each other in a box. Then a long wooden stick is
used to slowly push a heavy cover down on the bags. Great pressure is produced in this way. Much greater
pressure can be produced by using a machine, a hydraulic jack (液壓千斤頂). The greater the pressure, the
more oil win be produced. 
     Small presses are important in areas where electricity or gasoline cannot be used. They are also a good
way to test if a local market for oil exists.
     Small batch presses can be made of local materials. Their cost is low. They are not difficult to operate.
And they are easy to repair. The small presses produce good quality oil. But the work is hard. And getting
all the oil from the seeds can be difficult.
     If there is a large supply of seeds, then hand-operated presses may not be enough to support a business.
Large, powered presses that can operate all day are needed.
Title How to 1.______ Oil From Seeds
2.______ of oil People use oils when they cook meals, paint pictures and clean objects.
Method l ●Crush the seeds between two stones and then put them into a cloth bag.

                                           How Room Designs Affect Our Work and Feelings
     Architects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and
behaviors, But now scientists are giving this feelings an empirical (經(jīng)驗的, 實證的) basis. They are
discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused, and lead to relaxation.
     Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan
Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room's ceiling affects how
people to think. Her research indicates that the higher callings encourage people to think more freely,
which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire
a more detailed outlook.
     In addition to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant's ability to
concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who
experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a
standard test of attention.
     Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and it seems to, according
to a study led by C. Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design ＆Planning Laboratory at University
of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50
feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did
students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots. 
     Recent study on room lighting design suggests that dim (暗淡的) light helps people to loosen up. If
that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers
of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.
     So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. "We have a very limited number of studies,
so we're almost looking at the problem through a straw (吸管)," architect David Allison says. "How do
you take answers to very specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them? That's what we're
all struggling with."
1. What does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her research?
A. Light
B. Ceilings
C. Windows
D. Furniture.
2. The passage tells us that _____.
A. the shape of furniture may affect people, s feelings
B. lower ceilings may help improve students' creativity
C. children in a dim classroom may improve their grades
D. Students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed
3. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that _____.
A. the problem is not approached step by step
B. the researches so far have faults in themselves
C. the problem is too difficult for researchers to detect
D. research in this area is not enough to make generalized patterns

     Speeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is in for an unwelcome surprise.
The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer (遠程控制器) and a radio signal from a control center miles away
will make sure that once the thief turns the engine off, he will not be able to start it again.
     The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cell phone, a micro-processor and
memory and a GPS satellite positioning receiver. If the car is stolen, a coded (編碼的) cell phone signal will tell
the control center to block the vehicle's engine management system and prevent the engine being restarted.
     In the UK, a set of technical fixes is already making life harder for car thieves. "The pattern of vehicle crime
has changed," says Martyr Randall, a security expert. He says it would only take him a few minutes to teach a
person how to steal a car, using a minimum of tools, but only if the car is more than 10 years old.
     Modern cars are far tougher to steal, as their engine management computer won't allow them to start unless
they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition (點火) key. In the UK, technologies like this have
helped to achieve a 31% drop in vehicle crime since 1997.
     But determined thieves are still managing to find other ways to steal cars, often by getting hold of the owner's
keys. And key theft is responsible for 40% of the thefts of vehicles fitted with a tracking system.
     If the car travels 100 meters without the driver conforming (一致) the ID, the system will send a signal to
an operation center that it has been stolen. The 100-meter minimum avoids false alarm be- cause of some
possible errors of the GPS signal.
     Staff at the center will then contact the owner to confirm that the car really is missing and keep the police
informed of the vehicle's movements via the car's GPS unit.
1. What's the function of the remote immobilizer fitted to the car?
[     ]
A. To help the police make a surprise attack on the car thief.
B. To order the car to lock automatically when stolen.
C. To prevent the car thief from restarting it once it stops.
D. To send a radio signal to inform the car owner of the theft.
2. The underlined sentence "The pattern of vehicle crime has changed" suggests that ____.
[     ]
A. it takes less time for the car thief to do the stealing
B. many self-prepared too]s can be used for car theft
C. the theft becomes more difficult because of modern technology
D. the thief has lost interest in stealing cars over 10 years old
3. ____ is essential in making a modern car tougher to steal.
[     ]
A. A micro-processor
B. A special ID code
C. A special cell phone
D. A GPS satellite positioning receiver
4. Why does the tracking system set a 100-meter minimum before sending an alarm to the operation center?
[     ]
A. To leave time for the operation center to give an alarm.
B. To keep the police informed of the car's movement.
C. To give the driver time to contact the operation center.
D. To allow for possible mistakes in the GPS system.
5. What will the operation center do first after receiving an alarm?
[     ]
A. Start the tracking system.
B. Stop the engine.
C. Contact the owner.
D. Locate the missing car.

     In a time of low academic (學(xué)術(shù)的) achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are
turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic (經(jīng)濟上的) success, for possible
answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to
find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little stress is put on academic instruction. In one study,
300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked
about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese listed "to give children
a good start academically" as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In comparison,
over half the Americans chose this as one of'their top three choices. To prepare children for successful
careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather
skills such as determination, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group.
     In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent of Japanese chose
group experience as one of their top three reasons while 62 percent of the more individually oriented (強調(diào)
個性發(fā)展的) Americans chose it. A stress on the importance of the group continues into Japanese primary
school education 
     Like in America, there is diversity (多樣性) in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese
kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities,
some kindergartens are attached to universities that have primary and secondary schools.
     Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will
increase the children's chances of finally being admitted to top-rated schools and universities.
1. We learn from the first paragraph that many Americans believe _____.  
[     ]
A. Japanese parents pay more attention to preschool education than American parents
B. Japan's economic success is a result of its scientific achievements
C. Japanese preschool education stresses academic instruction
D. Japan's higher education is better than theirs
2. More than three fifths of the American respondents (答卷者) believe that preschools should also attach
    importance to _____.
[     ]
A. problem solving
B. group experience
C. parental guidance
D. individually oriented development
3. In Japan's preschool education, the focus is on _____.
[     ]
A. preparing children academically
B. developing children's artistic interests
C. developing children's potential
D. improving children's personal qualities
4. Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university-based kindergartens?
[     ]
A. They can do better in their future studies.
B. They can gain more group experience there.
C. They can be individually oriented when they grow up.
D. They can have better chances of getting a first-rate education.

     Though "nanometer" (納米) is now a fashionable term all over the world, few people know exactly what
it is. It has become a new favorite of producers and sellers in recent years. Many "high-tech" products bearing
the name "nano" have entered the market, bringing more mysterious feeling to surprised consumers.
     Nanometer is a very small length unit of measure, and is very small. One millimeter is 1000 micrometers,
and one micrometer is 1 000 nanometers. That is, one nanometer is one billionth of a meter. Nano materials
are solid materials made up of particles (粒子) or crystallites (晶體) of less than 100 nanometers in size. Then,
is a cup made of nano material really any different from an ordinary cup in function as far as how it works?
     Are nano cups really so wonderful? A reporter went to the Institute of Nanomedicine, which is the first
such institute of such a sort in the world and the only one in China, specializing in researching the investigation
of the application of nano technology into medicine.
     A water molecule (分子) is made up of 2 hydrogen atoms and l oxygen atom. It can be changed only by a
special way of controlling of the atoms. The material made into the cup can have nanometer particles. But it
cannot change the chemical and physical properties of the water contained in the cup. The water in it is still
water. When people drink it, it will produce no special effect on human body.
     Professor Ji who worked in the Institute of Nanomedicine told the reporter, so far, the investigation of nano
materials is still limited in the laboratory. No commercial micro products can be produced yet. With the present
level of science and technology, the time of everyday goods made of nanometer materials is still years away.
     The products labeled with nano marks in the market now are only traditional products coated with a thin
layer of nanometer material, which makes them more abrasion resistant (耐磨), much easier to be cleaned, or
oil resisting or moth proof (防蛀).
     Professor Ji explained that nano cup is a real cup. It can also be included in the list of nano products in a
certain sense. But the nano cup has not changed its property and function as a cup. It is not a magical medicine
for curing and health care.
1. Which of the following shows the right relationship?
[     ]
A. nanometer<millimeter<micrometer<meter
B. micrometer<millimeter<nanometer<meter
C. nanometer<micrometer<millimeter<meter
D. millimeter<micrometer<nanometer<meter
2. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
[     ]
A. nano materials have been put into use in daily goods
B. real nano products haven't become available for people
C. the nano cup is very effective in curing and health care
D. real nano products are being produced by some companies
3. The underlined word "properties" in the fourth paragraph probably means _____.
[     ]
A. possessions 
B. qualities
C. reactions
D. symbols
4. What would be the best title for the passage?
[     ]
A. High-tech Products
B. Nano Cups
C. Nano Materials
D. High-tech Research

     I am especially interested in eco-friendly cars. Would you please give me some help? 
                                                                                                                                         -John Lily
John Lily,
     More and more automobile companies are taking measures to create cars that do less harm to the planet.
Here are some of the top green cars this year.
Tesla Roadster
     This is an electric sports car. You can travel 220 miles before recharging the battery. The only problem?
It will cost you $ 100 000. So, until you win the lottery or happen to find a box of gold at the end of a
rainbow, let's move on to the more reasonable choices.
Aptera 2e
     This electric car is much more affordable than the Tesla Roadster, with a starting price of around $ 25000.
Its electric motor runs 100 miles per charge. Unfortunately, it is currently only available in California through
a complex booking process.
Toyota Prius
     At 51 miles per gallon in the city and 48 0n the highway, the Toyota Prius is one of the most fuel-efficient
cars in the world. With an annual CO2 rating of 1968 kilograms, this car holds the first place on MSN's list of
the Least Polluting Vehicles of 2009. It also has other eco-friendly features like a solar-powered ventilation (通
風(fēng)) system. 
Honda Civic Hybrid (混合動力車)
     The Honda Civic Hybrid is competitive with the Toyota Prius when it comes to fuel efficiency. It gets 40
miles per gallon in the city and 45 on the highway. It also has the second- lowest annual CO2 figure, releasing
2160 kilograms in a year.
Honda Insight Hybrid
     With a base price of just $20 000, the Honda Insight Hybrid is the least expensive Hybrid on the market
today. Coming just after the Honda Civic and Toyota Prius in terms of pollution, this fuel-efficient vehicle gets
40 miles per gallon in the city and 43 on the highway.
     Besides all these, Toyota Camry Hybrid is also a good choice. 
                                                                                                                                                 William

     It is thought that crying is hardly an activity encouraged by society. Tears, whether they are of sorrow,
anger, or joy, typically make Americans feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. The shedder of tears (落淚者)
is likely to apologize, even when a great tragedy was the cause. The observer of tears is likely to do everything
possible to put an end to the emotional tears. But judging from recent studies of crying behavior, both those
responses to tears are often inappropriate and may even be counterproductive (適得其反).
     Humans are the only animals clearly known to shed emotional tears. Since evolution has given rise to few
purposeless physiological responses, it is logical to assume that crying has one or more functions that enhance
(increase) survival.
     Although some observers have suggested that crying is a way to ask for assistance from others (as a crying
baby might from its mother), the shedding of tears is hardly necessary to get help. Loud cries would have been
quite enough, more likely than tears to gain attention. So, it appears, there must be something special about tears
themselves.
     Indeed, the new studies suggest that emotional tears may play a direct role in reducing stress. University of
Minnesota researchers who are studying the chemical composition of tears have recently separated two
important chemicals from emotional tears. Both chemicals are found only in tears that are shed in response to
emotion. Tears shed because of exposure to cut onion would contain no such substance. 
     Other researchers are mvestigating the usefulness of tears as a means of making a careful examination of
human ills and monitoring drugs. At Tulane University's Tear Analysis Laboratory, Dr. Peter Kastl and his
colleagues report that they can use tears to detect drug abuse, to study the causes of "dry eye" syndrome (綜合
癥) and the effects of eye surgery, and perhaps even to measure exposure to environmental pollutants.
1. What does the phrase "both those responses" in Paragraph l refer to?
[     ]
A. Crying out of sorrow and shedding tears for happiness.
B. The embarrassment and unpleasant feeling of the observers.
C. The tear shedder's apology and the observer's effort to stop the crying.
D. Linking illness with crying and finding the chemical composition of tears.
2. From the passage we can infer that _____.
[     ]
A. it is natural for people to shed tears
B. we can reduce our stress by shedding tears
C. shedders of tears can't get help by crying loudly
D. unlike animals, humans can shed tears for survival
3. What does the passage mainly talk about?
[     ]
A. Roles of emotional tears.
B. Functions of shedding tears.
C. Unwelcome shedders of tears.
D. Research on the effects of tears.
