7、nce that an overlooked fault in the eastern Mediterranean is likely to produce an earthquake and tsunami every 800 years as powerful as the one that destroyed Alexandria in AD 365. Using radiocarbon dating techniques, simulations and computer models, the researchers recreated the ancient disaster in
8、 order to identify the responsible fault. “We are saying there is probably a repeat time of 800 years for this kind of earthquake,“ said Ms. Beth Shaw, an earthquake scientist at the University of Cambridge, who led the study. Scientists study past earthquakes in order to determine the future possib
9、ility of similar large shocks. “Identifying the fault for the AD 365 earthquake and tsunami is important for the tens of millions of people in the region,“ Ms. Shaw said. “The fault close to the southwest coast of Crete last produced a big enough quake to generate a tsunami about 1,300, which means
10、the next powerful one could come in the next 100 years,“ she added in a telephone interview. Ms. Shaw and her colleagues calculate the likely intervals by measuring the motion of either side of the fault to find how often such large earthquakes would have to occur to account for that level of motion
11、, she said. Their computer model suggested an 8 magnitude quake on the fault would produce a tsunami that floods the coastal regions of Alexandria and North Africa, the southern coast of Greece and Sicily all the way up the Adriati to Dubrovnik. “This would he similar to the ancient quake in AD 365

The United States has
16、taken the first step toward approving a global tobacco treaty that promises to help control the deadly effects of tobacco use throughout the world. Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson signed the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) this week at the United Nations. The Senate
17、 must still approve the treaty before the US can implement its provisions. 2. The FCTC was developed by the World Health Organization and approved by members of the World Health Assembly, including the United States, last year. Countries that ratify it would be required to enact strict tobacco contr
18、ol policies. 3. For instance, cigarettes sold in those countries would have to have health warnings on at least 30% of the front and back of every pack. The treaty calls for higher tobacco taxes, restrictions on smoking in public places, and more promotion of tobacco prevention and cessation program
19、s. It also requires bans on tobacco advertising, though there are some exceptions for countries like the United States, where the Constitution prohibits such an outright ban. 4. The impact of the treaty could be huge. The World Health Organization estimates that tobacco use kills nearly 5 million pe
20、ople worldwide every year. In the US alone, about 440,000 people die each year from tobacco-related illnesses; about one-third of all cancers in the US are caused by tobacco use. If current trends continue, WHO estimates, by 2025 tobacco will kill 10 million people each year. 5. The treaty must he r

24、.00)Data InsecurityIt never rains but it pours. Just as bosses and boards have finally sorted out their worst accounting and compliance troubles, and improved their feeble corporation governance, a new problem threatens to earn them, especially in America, the sort of nasty headlines that inevitably
25、 lead to heads rolling in the executive suite: data insecurity. Left, until now, to odd, low-level IT staff to put right, and seen as a concern only of data-rich industries such as banking, telecoms and air travel, information protection is now high on the boss“s agenda in businesses of every variet
26、y. Several massive leakages of customer and employee data this yearfrom organizations as diverse as Time Warner, the American defense contractor Science Applications International Corp and even the University of California, Berkeley have left managers hurriedly peering into their intricate IT system
27、s and business processes in search of potential vulnerabilities. “Data is becoming an asset which needs to be guarded as much as any other asset,“ says Haim Mendelson of Stanford University“s business school. “The ability to guard customer data is the key to market value, which the board is responsi
28、ble for on behalf of shareholders.“ Indeed, just as there is the concept of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), perhaps it is time for GASP, Generally Accepted Security Practices, suggested Eli Noam of New York“s Columbia Business School. “Setting the proper investment level for securit
29、y, redundancy, and recovery is a management issue, not a technical one,“ he says. The mystery is that this should come as a surprise to any boss. Surely it should be obvious to the dimmest executive that trust, that most valuable of economic assets, is easily destroyed and hugely expensive to restor
30、e and that few things are more likely to destroy trust than a company letting sensitive personal data get into the wrong hands. The current state of affairs may have been encouraged, though not justified by the lack of legal penalty (in America, but not Europe) for data leakage. Until California rec
31、ently passed a law, American firms did not have to tell anyone, even the victim, when data went a-stray. That may change fast: lots of proposed data-security legislation is now doing the rounds in Washington, D.C. Meanwhile, the theft of information about some 40 million credit-card accounts in Amer
32、ica, disclosed on June 17th, overshadowed a hugely important decision a day earlier by America“s Federal Trade Commission (FFC) that puts corporate America on notice that regulators will act if firms fail to provide adequate data security.（分数：15.00）(1).The statement “It never rains but it pours“ is
33、used to introduce _.（分数：3.00）A.the fierce business competitionB.the feeble boss-board relationsC.the threat from news reportsD.the severity of data leakage(2).According to Paragraph 2, some organizations check their systems to find out _.（分数：3.00）A.whether there is any weak pointB.what sort of data
34、has been stolenC.who is responsible for the leakageD.how the potential spies can be located(3).In bringing up the concept of GASP the author is making the point that _.（分数：3.00）A.shareholders“ interests should be properly attended toB.information protection should be given due attentionC.businesses
35、should enhance their level of accounting securityD.the market value of customer data should be emphasized(4).According to Paragraph 4, what puzzles the author is that some bosses fail to _.（分数：3.00）A.see the link between trust and data protectionB.perceive the sensitivity of personal dataC.realize t
36、he high cost of data restorationD.appreciate the economic value of trust(5).It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that _.（分数：3.00）A.data leakage is more severe in EuropeB.FTC“s decision is essential to data securityC.California takes the lead in security legislationD.legal penalty is a major solution

On a clear night, with no clouds, moonlight, or artificial lights to block the view, people can see more than 14,000 stars in the sky, says Dennis Ward, an astrono
38、mer (天文学家) with the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) in Boulder, Colo. But when people are surrounded by city lights, he says, they“re lucky to see 150 stars. If you“ve ever driven toward a big city at night and seen its glow from a great distance, you“ve witnessed light pollut
39、ion. It occurs when light from streetlights, office (照亮) the night buildings, signs, and other sources streams into space and illuminates sky. This haze (朦胧) of light makes many stars invisible to people on Earth. Even at night, big cities like New York glow from light pollution, making stargazing d
40、ifficult. Dust and particles of pollution from factories and industries worsen the effects of light pollution. “If one city has a lot more light pollution than another,“ Ward says, “that city will suffer the effects of light pollution on a much greater scale.“ Hazy skies also make it far more diffic
41、ult for astronomers to do their jobs. Cities are getting larger. Suburbs are growing in once dark, rural areas. Light from all this new development is increasingly obscuring (使变模糊) the faint (微弱的)light given off by distant stars. And if scientists can“t locate these objects, they can“t learn more ab
42、out them. Light pollution doesn“t only affect star visibility. It can harm wildlife too. It“s clear that artificial light can attract animals, making them go off course. There“s increasing evidence, for example, that migrating (迁徙) birds use sunsets and sunrises to help find their way, says Sydney G
43、authreaux Jr., a scientist at Clemson University in South Carolina. “When light occurs at night,“ he says, “it has a very disruptive (破坏性的) influence.“ Sometimes birds fly into lighted towers, high-rises, and cables from radio and television towers. Experts estimate that millions of birds die this w
44、ay every year.（分数：15.00）(1).On a clear night, people can see _.（分数：3.00）A.150 starsB.hundreds of starsC.one thousand starsD.more than 14,000 stars(2).Light pollution occurs when _.（分数：3.00）A.artificial lights illuminate the night skyB.the moon lights up the night skyC.too many stars are visible in t

46、4).How does light pollution affect wildlife?（分数：3.00）A.Animals may go off course.B.It helps migrating birds find their homes.C.Animals are afraid to go out after sunset.D.It helps birds fall asleep.(5).The title “Light Night, Dark Stars“ means _.（分数：3.00）A.the night sky is brightly lit up and stars
47、are blackB.lights appear at night and stars are seen in the darkC.city lights at night illuminate stars in the skyD.city lights illuminate the night sky, making stars invisible七、第三篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)College Night Owls Have Lower GradesCollege students who are morning people tend to get better grades t
48、han those who are night owls (晚睡的人) , according to University of North Texas researchers. They had 824 undergraduate (大学本科生的) students complete a health survey that included questions about sleep habits and daytime functioning, and found that students who are morning people had higher grade point av
49、erages (GPAs)than those who are night people. “The finding that college students who are evening types have lower GPAs is a very important finding, sure to make its way into undergraduate psychology texts in the near future, along with the research showing that memory is improved by sleep, “study co-author Daniel J. Taylor said in a prepared statement. “Further, these results suggest that it might be possible to improve academic performance by using chronotherapy (时间疗法) to help students retrain their biological clock to become more morning types,“
