In early 1976, Mau Piailug, a fisherman, led an expedition in which he sailed a traditional Polynesian boat across 2,500 miles of ocean from Hawaii to Tahiti. The Polynesian V
7、oyaging Society had organized the expedition. Its purpose was to find out if seafarers (海员) in the distant past could have found their way from one island to the other without navigational instruments, or whether the islands had been populated by accident. At the time, Man was the only man alive who
8、 knew how to navigate just by observing the stars, the wind and the sea. He had never before sailed to Tahiti, which was a long way to the south. However, he understood how the wind and the sea behave around islands, so he was confident he could find his way. The voyage took him and his crew a month
9、 to complete and he did it without a compass or charts. His grandfather began the task of teaching him how to navigate when he was still a baby. He showed him pools of water on the beach to teach him how the behavior of the waves and wind changed in different place. Later, Man used a circle of stone
10、s to memorise the positions of the stars. Each stone was laid out in the sand to represent a star. The voyage proved that Hawaii“s first inhabitants came in small boats and navigated by reading the sea and the stars. Man himself became a keen teacher, passing on his traditional secrets to people of
11、other cultures so that hid knowledge would not be lost. He explained the position of stars to his students, but he allowed them to write things down because he knew they would never be able to remember everything as he had done.（分数：7.00）(1).At the time of his voyage, Mau had unique navigational skil

Prices have fallen in the food business because of advances in food production and distribution technology. Consumers have benefited greatly from those advances. People who predicted that the world would
15、 run out of food were wrong. We are producing more and more food with less and less capital. Food is therefore more plentiful and cheaper than it has ever been. Spending on food compared with other goods has fallen for many years, and continues to drop. 2. Supermarkets have helped push down prices m
16、ainly because of their scale. Like any big business, they can invest in IT systems that make them efficient. And their size allows them to buy in bulk. As supermarkets get bigger, the prices get lower. 3. Huge retail companies such as Wal-Mart have tremendous power and they can put pressure on produ
17、cers to cut their margins. As a result, some producers have had to make cuts. In recent years, Unilever has cut its workforce by 33,000 to 245,000 and dropped lots of its minor brands as part of its “path to growth“ strategy. Cadbury has shut nearly 20 percent of its 133 factories and cut 10 percent
18、 of its 55,000 global workforce. These cuts help keep costs down, and the price of food stays low. 4. Does cheap food make people unhealthy? Cheap food may encourage people to eat more. Food companies certainly think that giving people more food for their money makes them buy more. Giving people big
19、ger portions is an easy way of making them feel they have got a better deal. That is why portions have got larger and larger. In America, soft drinks came in 80z (225g) cans in the past, then 120z (350g), and now come in 200z (550g) cans. If a company can sell you an 80z portion for $7, they can sel
20、l you a 120z portion for $8. The only extra cost to the company is the food, which probably costs 25 cents. 5. Now companies are under pressure to stop selling bigger portions for less money. But it is hard to change the trend. A. Huge retailers force producers to cut costs B. Consumers like superma
21、rkets C. Technology helps reduce food prices D. Food comes cheaper in larger portions E. Chain stores provide better service F.

Now Dale Air, a leading
24、firm of aroma (香气) consultants, has been approached by Barclay“s Bank to develop suitable artificial smells for their banks. Researchers have suggested that surrounding customers with the “smell of money“ will encourage them to feel relaxed and optimistic and give them added confidence in the bank“s
25、 security and professionalism. But before a smell can be manufactured and introduced into banks“ air conditioning systems. It must be identified and chemically analyzed, and this has proved to be difficult. The problem is that banknotes-and coins tend to pick up the smell of their surroundings. So c
26、ash that has been sitting in a cash register at a fishmonger“s (鱼贩) will smell of fish, and banknotes used to pay for meals in restaurants will tend to smell of food. It may be a challenge, but aroma experts have little doubt that the use of, artificial smells can be an effective form of subconsciou
27、s advertising. Lunn Poly, a British travel company, introduced the smell of coconuts (椰子) into its travel agencies and saw a big increase in spending by holiday makers. Many cafes now have electric dispensers (自动售货机) that release the smell of freshly roasted coffee near their entrances, subtly encou
28、raging customers to come in and have a drink or snack. Even prestigious car maker Rolls-Royce has been spraying the inside of its cars to enhance the smell of the leather seats. “The sense of smell is probably the most basic and primitive of all human senses,“ explains researcher Jim O“Rordan. “Ther
29、e is a direct pathway from the olfactory (嗅觉的) organs in the nose to the brain.“ It is certainly true that most people find certain smells incredibly strong, stringing memories and feelings in a way that few other stimulants (刺激物) can rival. It is a phenomenon marketing consultants have long recogni
30、zed, but until recently have been unable to harness . “We“ve made great progress but the technology of odour production is still in its infancy,“ says O“Riordan, “Who knows where it will take us.“（分数：15.00）(1).Artificial smells have NOT been used in _.（分数：3.00）A.cafesB.banksC.travel agenciesD.superm

All you ever do is eat.“ You feel sad:
34、“I skip my breakfast and supper. I run every morning and evening. What else can I do?“ Basically you can do nothing. Your genes, not your life habits, determine your weight and your body constantly tries to maintain it. Albert Stunkard of the University of Pennsylvania found from experiments that, “
35、80 percent of the children of two obese (肥胖的) parents become obese, as compared with no more than 14 percent of the offspring of two parents of normal weight.“ How can obese people become normal or even thin through dieting? Well, dieting can be effective, but the health costs are tremendous. Jules
36、Hirsch, a research physician at Rockefeller University, did a study of eight fat people. They were given a liquid formula providing 600 calories a day. After more than 10 weeks, the subjects lost 45ka on average. But after leaving the hospital, they all regained weight. The results were surprising:
37、by metabolic (新陈代谢的) measurement, fat people who lost large amounts of weight seemed like they were starving. They had psychiatric problems. They dreamed of food or breaking their diet. They were anxious and depressed; some were suicidal. They hid food in their rooms. Researchers warn that it is pos
38、sible that weight reduction doesn“t result in normal weight, but in an abnormal state resembling that of starved non-obese people. Thin people, however, suffer from the opposite: They have to make a great effort to gain weight. Ethan Sims, of the University of Vermont, got prisoners to volunteer to
39、gain weight. In four to six months, they ate as much as they could. They succeeded in increasing their weight by 20 to 25 percent. But months after the study ended they were back to normal weight and stayed there. This did not mean that people are completely without hope in controlling their weight.
40、 It means that those who tend to be fat will have to constantly battle their genetic inheritance if they want to significantly lower their weight. The findings also provide evidence for something scientists thought was true-each person has a comfortable weight range. The range might be as much as 9k
41、g. Someone might weigh 6069kg without too much effort. But going above or below the natural weight range is difficult. The body resists by feeling hungry or full and changing the metabolism to push the weight back to the range it seeks.（分数：15.00）(1).The first paragraph tells us that our weight is de
42、termined by _.（分数：3.00）A.Our eating habitB.Our life styleC.Our work habitD.Our genes(2).In Jules Hirsch“s study, the subjects _.（分数：3.00）A.showed no health problemB.gained weight rapidlyC.were all very shortD.lived only on liquid food(3).After leaving the hospital, the eight fat people _.（分数：3.00）A.
43、attempted suicideB.were back to normal weightC.went madD.followed the advice of Hirsch“s(4).In Ethan Sims study, the subjects were asked to _.（分数：3.00）A.stay in prisonB.eat as much as they couldC.battle their genetic inheritanceD.lower their weight(5).Which of the following statements is true?（分数：3.

T
45、he day before, his children“s nanny (保姆) had been brutally murdered and his wife had been attacked too. To this day the British public are still interested in the murder case because Lucan has never been found. Now, over 30 years later, the police have reopened the case, hoping that new DNA techniqu
46、es will help solve this murder mystery. People suspected that “Lucky“, as he was called by friends, wanted to kill his wife he no longer lived with. They say that Lucan entered his old house and in the dark, killed the nanny by mistake. His estranged wife heard noises, came downstairs and was also a
47、ttacked, but managed to escape. Seven months after the murder, a jury concluded that Lucan had killed the nanny. What happened next is unclear, but there are several theories which fall into one of three categories: he may have killed himself, he could have escaped or he might have been killed. It a
48、ppears that the night after the murder, “Lucky“ borrowed a car and drove it. Lucan“s friend Aspinall said in an interview that he thought Lucan had committed suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel. Another version of events says that “Lucky“ left the blood-soaked car on the coast and too
49、k a ferry to France. He was met there by someone who drove him to safety in another country. However, after a time, his rescuers became worried that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed. A further fascinating theory was made in the book Dead Lucky by Duncan MacLanghlin, a former detective. He believes that Lucan travelled to Goa, India, where he assumed the identity of a Mr. Barry Haplin. Lucan then lived in Goa till his death in 1996. In the end the claim turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. The man who di
