A

The storage of classified (分类的) research at all 24 labs run by the US Department of Energy was shut down this week after officials decided that the security (安全) problems recently found at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico might also exist elsewhere.

Several computer disks went missing at Los Alamos earlier this month, forcing Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham to stop all work at the lab until the problems are found out. As of 26 July, two missing disks had still not been found, and 15 employees had been suspended in connection with the disappearance.

Now all energy labs will stop doing classified research that involves(需要) removable storage devices --- such as computer disks --- until all the devices are given explanation for and new procedures are in place for monitoring their handling by laboratory employees.

"While we have no evidence that the problems being investigated are present elsewhere, we have a responsibility to take all necessary action to prevent such problems,"Abraham said on 23 July.

The shut-down isn't quite as dramatic(惊人的)as it sounds, experts say. Only two labs will be seriously affected: Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California. Together with Los Alamos, these two labs conduct the most part of the country's nuclearweapon programmes. At Livermore, 876 employees will be suspended during the storage of some 12,000 items of classified removable

material.

At other labs, far fewer people will be affected. "The impact (影响) should be the smallest,"says Martha Krebs, former director of the energy department's science office.

1. Why was the storage of classified research at all 24 labs shut down?

A. Because the security problems might be present elsewhere.

B. Because the security problems existed elsewhere.

C. Because two missing computer disks had still not be found.

D. Because officials decided to stop doing such research.

2. How many labs conduct the country's nuclear weapon programmes according to the text?

A. About 24. B. Only 2. C. More than 2. D. Over 15.

3. The underlined word "suspended"in the second paragraph probably means "______”.

A. hung from above B. stopped from holding a position C. doubted D. fired

4. It can be inferred from the text that _____.

A. the computer disks must have been stolen by terrorists

B. the people living in the United States have little security

C. the United States is a country whose security is very bad

D. the missing of the computer disks caused great fear among Americans

On the New York set of the film Hide and Seek, ten-year-old Dakota Fanning spends her time playing a deeply disturbed girl who deals with her mother's suicide (自杀) by creating an imaginary friend, who may not frighten her family.

Today, though, she has the day off. "This week I only worked two days,"says Fanning, sitting in a sofa in her hotel's library, "but I get bored when I'm not working. Especially because it's cold here and I can't do anything, you know? So, I've been knitting (编织) --- all day, every day."The actress, who's held her own opposite Oscar winners such as Sean Penn and Denzel Washington, recently mastered the fine art of scarves (围巾). Though she's about ready to move on to hats, she first plans to make a souvenir (纪念品) scarf for Robert De Niro, who plays her father in the film. "He's the nicest guy you'd ever meet in your entire life,"she says, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I would make him a brown one.”

Like any other fifth-grader, Fanning spends several hours a day going to school. In addition to her personal trailer (活动住房) --- which is kept well-supplied with hot chocolate packets, lemon Gatorade, and a TV that doesn't always work --- she has another trailer where her teacher, Jan, conducts classes in history, spelling, reading, math, science and health. "We have this big board where we have a calendar (日历),"Fanning says. "When we were here in January, I wrote the calendar in all blue. February was red, and March was green.”

On this particular morning, she had a spelling test. "There was a topic for each of the word lists,"she says, sitting on her knees. "This one was flowers --- they were all names like oxygen, carbon dioxide, chrysanthemum (菊花)..."Chrysanthemum? "Well, they didn't make me spell that one. They just had me fill in the ‘e'. But I can spell it: c-h-r-y-s-a-n-t-h-e-m-u-m.”

C

Every year landslides (滑坡) cause 25 to 50 deaths and $1.5 billion in damage in the United States. They account for 15 percent of the deaths from natural disasters in Europe. And in December, a single event killed more than 200 people in the Philippines. Sending workers to stabilize (加固) mountainsides using steel bars and cement (水泥) can help prevent disaster, but it introduces new difficulties. Shaking drills produce harmful dust and loosen heavy, dangerous debris (岩屑). "It's quite a risky job,"says Giorgio Pezzuto of D'Appolonia, an engineering company in Italy.

D'Appolonia, working with eight other companies, may have an answer: a three-ton robot called Roboclimber. "The idea is to operate a machine far away that can drill without a human being on board,"says Pezzuto, manager for the project, which is supported by the European Commission. Engineers claim that the machine will be faster and cheaper than manual labor. The robot, a large radio-controlled four-legged mechanical spider(蜘蛛), has cost at least $2 million so far. The final product should be able to climb unstable mountainsides, drill holes, insert bars and cement, and collect data on the slope's stability. Testing should begin in May.

9. The underlined word "event"(in Paragraph 1) refers to _____.

A. landslide B. machine C. earthquake D. flood

10. The purpose in writing this text is _____.

A. to tell people how serious the damage caused by landslides is

B. to tell people that sending workers to stabilize mountainsides is a risky job

C. to introduce a product that can be used to stabilize mountainsides

D. to show people how to use a new product

11. What does the robot look like?

A. A human being. B. A spider. C. A truck. D. A drill.

12. The biggest advantage of this product is that _____.

A. it will be faster and cheaper than manual labor

B. it can climb mountainsides, drill holes, insert bars and cement

C. it can collect data on the slope's stability

D. it can drill without a human being on board

One possible version：

Tsunami is usually caused by strong earthquakes that happen in oceans. Great sea waves will be pushed toward the shores with great speed. If the people along the shores don't know tsunami is coming, they will suffer great damage. For example, the tsunami, which happened in the Indian Ocean on December 26, 2004, killed more than 150,000 people in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Thailand and other countries. Millions of people were injured and became homeless.

Tsunami is a natural disaster. We should set up more advanced warning systems along the shores, on the islands and in man-made satellites. Besides, we should protect our oceans further instead of destroying them.
