7、as been set up in this Far Eastern country to develop advanced micro-chip production technology. The center, which will start out with about US 14 million, will help the country develop its chip industry without always depending on imported technology.The center will make use of its research skills

8、and facilities to develop new technology for domestic chip plants. The advent of the center will possibly free the country from the situation that it is always buying almost-outdated technologies from other countries, said the countrys flagship chipmaker. Currently, chip plants in this country are i

9、n a passive situation because many foreign governments dont allow them to import the most advanced technologies, fearing they will be used for military purposes. Moreover, the high licensing fees they have to pay to technology providers are also an important reason for their decision of self-relianc

10、e.As mainstream chip production technology shifts from one generation to the next every three to five years, plants with new technology can make more powerful chips at lower costs, while plants with outdated equipment, which often cost billions of dollars to build, will be marginalized by the maker.

11、More than 10 chip plants are being built, each costing millions of US dollars. The majority of that money goes to overseas equipment vendors and technology owners - mainly from Japan and Singapore.Should the new center play a major role in improving the situation in the industry, the country admits

12、the US 14 million investment is still rather small. This country is developing comprehensive technologies.

But why? W

17、hy do we form an opinion about someone without really knowing anything about him or her - aside perhaps from a few remarks or readily observable traits.2 The answer is related to how your brain allows you to be aware of the world. Your brain is so sensitive in picking up facial traits, even very min

18、or difference in how a persons eyes, ears, nose, or mouth are placed in relation to each other makes you see him or her as different. In fact, your brain continuously processes incoming sensory information - the sights and sounds of your world. These incoming “signals“ are compared against a host of

19、 “memories“ stored in the brain areas called the cortex system to determine what these new signals “mean.“3 If you see someone you know and like at school, your brain says “familiar and safe.“ If you see someone new, it says, “new - potentially threatening.“ Then your brain starts to match features

20、of this stranger with other “known“ memories. The height, weight, dress, ethnicity, gestures, and tone of voice are all matched up. The more unfamiliar the characteristics, the more your brain may say, “This is new. I dont like this person.“ Or else, “Im intrigued.“ Or your brain may perceive a new

21、face but familiar clothes, ethnicity, gestures - like your other friends; so your brain says: “I like this person.“ But these preliminary “impressions“ can be dead wrong.4 When we stereotype people, we use a less mature form of thinking (not unlike the immature thinking of a very young child) that m

22、akes simplistic and categorical impressions of others. Rather than learn about the depth and breadth of people - their history, interest, values, strengths, and true character - we categorize them as jocks, geeks, or freaks.5 However, if we resist initial stereotypical impressions, we have a chance

23、to be aware of what a person is truly like. If we spend time with a person, hear about his or her life, hopes, dreams, and become aware of the persons character, we use a different, more mature style of thinking - and the most complex areas of our cortex, which allow us to be humane.（分数：8.00）(1).Par

28、y to the center of the Earth, Japanese scientists have launched the worlds first attempt to bore a hole into the red-hot core of a volcano and unlock the secrets of deadly eruption.A 50-meter-high oil-rig-like derrick perched on the scrubby slopes of Japans Mount Unzen will begin drilling through th

29、e volcanos crust next week in a bid to sample the magma bubbling below.The aim is to study how the liquefied rock causes menacing gas buildup, said team leader Setsuya Nakata, of the University of Tokyos Earthquake Research Institute.“Gassing is important because it controls the explosivity of erupt

30、ions,“ Nakata said. “The results can be expanded to anti-disaster research.“Mount Unzen, a wind-swept 1,486-meter dome on the southern island of Kyushu, is a perfect model. It erupted in 1991, showering avalanches of hot rocks over a nearby town, killing 43 people and leaving nearly 2,300 homeless.

31、Another 11,000 people were evacuated from the area until 1995, when the volcano had stabilized.The results are particularly important to a nation like Japan, where the meteorological agency monitors 20 dangerous peaks. Perhaps Japans most famous volcano is snowcapped Mount Fuji, which last erupted i

32、n 1707 and sprinkled Tokyo with ash.The drilling on Mount Unzen will begin very soon from an altitude of 850 meters on its northwest slope. Scientists hope to tap a magma vent around sea level by August and extract a 200- meter-long core sample by summer 2004.Boring into the glowing magma at that le

33、vel would normally be impossible, because of its fiery 700 degree Celsius heat. Thus, a slurry of water will be pumped into the drill shaft to cool the magma and allow the drill head to cut through.Nakata said there is no danger of triggering another eruption.（分数：15.00）(1).According to the passage,

34、Mount Unzen（分数：3.00）A.erupted in 1707.B.erupted in 1991.C.erupted in 1995.D.several times in the last century.(2).According to the passage, the study of the Mount Unzen volcano may benefit Japan in all the following aspects EXCEPT（分数：3.00）A.finding causes of volcano eruptions.B.helping to launch ant

35、i-disaster research.C.looking into the connection between liquified rocks and gas buildup.D.predicting volcano eruptions.(3).Why is this research project so important to Japan?（分数：3.00）A.Because Japan has many living volcanos.B.Because Japan wants to turn Mount Fuji to a dead volcano.C.Because volca

36、no gas could be a source of energy.D.Because Japan is testing a new way of drilling into the earth.(4).The drilling site on Mount Unzen is（分数：3.00）A.around the sea level.B.on the northeast slope of the mountain.C.about half way up the mountain.D.as high as 1,486 meters.(5).The title of this passage

37、Japanese Drilling into Core of Earth actually means that they（分数：3.00）A.drill a hole into the core of a volcano.B.bore into the rocks near the volcanic vent.C.conduct an imagery journey to the core of a volcano.D.regard magma as the core of Earth.B第二篇/BBA Sunshade for the Planet/BEven with the best

38、will in the world, reducing our carbon emissions is not going to prevent global warming. It has become clear that even if we take the most strong measures to control emissions, the uncertainties in our climate models still leave open the possibility of extreme warming and rises in sea level. At the

39、same time, resistance by governments and special interest groups makes it quite possible that the actions suggested by climate scientists might not be implemented soon enough.Fortunately, if the worst comes to the worst, scientists still have a few tricks up their sleeves. For the most part they hav

40、e strongly resisted discussing these options for fear of inviting a sense of complacency that might thwart efforts to tackle the root of the problem. Until now, that is. A growing number of researchers are taking a fresh look at large-scale “geoengineering“ projects that might be used to counteract

41、global warming. “I use the analogy of methadone,“ says Stephen Schneider, a climate researcher at Stanford University in California who was among the first to draw attention to global warming. “If you have a heroin addict, the correct treatment is hospitalization, and a long rehab. But if they absol

42、utely refuse, methadone is better than heroin.“Basically the idea is to apply “sunscreen“ to the whole planet. One astronomer has come up with a radical plan to cool Earth: launch trillions of feather-light discs into space, where they would form a vast cloud that would block the suns rays. Its cont

43、roversial, but recent studies suggest there are ways to deflect just enough of the sunlight reaching the Earths surface to counteract the warming produced by the greenhouse effect. Global climate models show that blocking just 1.8 per cent of the incident energy in the suns rays would cancel out the

44、 warming effects produced by a doubling of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. That could be crucial, because even the most severe emissions-control measures being proposed would leave us with a doubling of carbon dioxide by the end of this century, and that would last for at 1east a century more.（分

45、数：15.00）(1).According to the first two paragraphs, the author thinks that（分数：3.00）A.strong measures have been taken by the government to prevent global warming.B.to reduce carbon emissions is an impossible mission.C.despite the difficulty, scientists have some options to prevent global warming.D.act

46、ions suggested by scientists will never be realized.(2).Scientists resist talking about their options because they dont want people to（分数：3.00）A.know what they are doing.B.feel their efforts are useless.C.think the problem has been solved.D.see the real problem.(3).What does Stephen Schneider say ab
