6．It was reported last week that developers could take photos from Apple mobile and Google Android devices without the phone owners knowing that the images were being taken．In Apple's case，developers can also obtain the location information for each photo．
Senator（參議員） Charles Schumer said in a telephone interview that his office had spoken with officials at both Apple and Google on Monday．
"We asked them if they could find a way on their own to prevent Apple from having access to private info，"Mr．Schumer said．"They were friendly and open to the idea that this ought to be changed．"
On Sunday，Mr．Schumer said that he planned to send a letter to the Federal Trade Commission（聯(lián)邦貿(mào)易委員會） asking the agency to investigate Apple and Google after the privacy concerns came to light．Claudia Bourne Farrell，an F．T．C．spokeswoman，said the agency had received the letter but she could not comment further．
"It sends shivers up the spine to think that one's personal photos，address book，and who knows what else can be obtained and even posted online without consent，"Mr．Schumer wrote in his letter to the F．T．C．"If the technology exists to open the door to this kind of privacy invasion，then surely technology exists to close it，and that's exactly what must happen．"
Mr．Schumer said if Apple and Google could not come to an agreement to fix the problem，then he would be forced to take the issue further．
He said other companies had been willing to work with his office to fix issues．"I'm optimistic that we can get this changed without any regulation，"he said．"If it's not changed，then we'll look the F．T．C．，and if that doesn't work then we'll look at legislative approach．"
The F．T．C．has warned companies to try to be more vigilant（警醒的） in their efforts to protect consumers when it comes to privacy．
 
36．The senators spoke with officials at both Apple and GoogleC
A．to discuss whether it is illegal to have access to private information．
B．to stop them from developing the technology of taking photos．
C．to urge them not to invade consumers'privacy．
D．to keep them from obtaining the location information for each photo．
37．Which of the following statements is true？D
A．Privacy invasion from Apple has existed for a long time．
B．Privacy invasion from Google has existed for a long time．
C．Apple and Google have decided to make a change．
D．Mr．Schumer takes the privacy concerns caused by Apple and Google seriously．
38．Mr．Schumer's letter to the F．T．C．mainly shows that the technology to open the door to privacy invasionA
A．causes people to worry about the safety of their personal information．
B．can be used if permitted．
C．causes personal information to be posted online without permission．
D．causes privacy invasion to happen frequently．
39．If the privacy concerns can't be solved with the help of the F．T．C．C．
A．The companies will be fined．
B．The companies will be closed．
C．The senators will turn to legislation．
D．The senators will force the companies not to invade privacy．
40．Where can we read about the passage？B

C．In a magazine            D．In a textbook．

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了蘋果公司和谷歌公司利用顯影劑可以在主人不知情的情況下從蘋果手機或谷歌安卓設(shè)備中獲取照片這事，引起了Mr．Schumer和很多人的關(guān)注．Mr．Schumer先是向兩家公司領(lǐng)導人提出要求，后又給公平貿(mào)易委員會寫信，并說假如沒用，他還會走立法的道路．

解答 36．C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第三段We asked them if they could find a way on their own to prevent Apple from having access to private information我們問他們自己能否找個辦法防止蘋果利用私人信息．故選C．
37．D．推理判斷題．從文中我們知道，Mr．Schumer先跟蘋果和谷歌公司談論此事，要他們想辦法解決，后又給公平貿(mào)易委員會寫信，甚至還要走立法的途徑．說明他很重視這件事．故選D．
38．A．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第五段第一句It worries people to think that one's personal photos，address book，and who knows what else can be obtained and even posted online without permission這讓人們擔心個人的照片，住址名冊還有其它的什么擔東西都可能被盜，甚至未經(jīng)允許在網(wǎng)上公布．故選A．
39．C．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段最后一句and if that doesn't work then we'll consider legislative approach假如這樣還沒用的話，我將考慮立法這條途徑．故選C．
40．B．推理判斷題．通讀全文，可知這是一篇新聞類的文章，應該在報紙上看得到．故選B．

點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

14．Why is it so difficult to fall asleep when you are overtired？There is no one answer that applies to every individual．But many people fail to note the difference between fatigue，physical tiredness and sleepiness，the inability to stay awake．It's possible to feel"tired"physically and still be unable to fall asleep，because while your body may be exhausted，you don't feel sleepy．To fall asleep，you need enough time to relax，even if you feel fatigued．It's not so easy to simply"turn off"．According to Carl E．Hunt，director of the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research in Bethesda，Maryland，most people do not allow themselves relaxed．
Lack of sleep complicates matters even more．Experts say adults need at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night to function properly．When you get less sleep than that on consecutive （連續(xù)） nights，you begin to be burdened by"sleep debt"．As sleep debt increases （and functionality decreases），your body experiences a stress response and begins to release adrenaline （腎上腺素）．Now a bad cycle has been created：You experience the feeling of being more and more tired，but your body is increasingly stimulated．"Power sleeping"for more hours on weekends is only a temporary solution．"There is no substitute for getting a good night's sleep on a regular basis，"says Hunt．
Most of us，however，don't get the sleep we need．According to the 2002 National Sleep Foundation，Americans sleep an average of 6.9 hours per night during the week，and 58 percent of adults experience sleeplessness a few nights a week or more．

33．The writer intends to tell usD．
A．Americans don't get enough sleep
B．what benefits we can get from enough sleep   
C．lack of sleep has a bad effect on our body  
D．why it's difficult for overtired people to fall asleep  
34．Which of the following is NOT caused by lack of sleep？C
A．Power sleeping．                        
B．Sleep debt．
C．Lack of adrenaline．                    
D．Function badly．
35．From the passage we can draw a conclusion that lack of sleepD．
A．is so common that it isn't worth paying attention to
B．doesn't matter for it can be solved by"Power sleeping
C．can make it easy to fall asleep when one is overtired
D．may make it difficult to fall asleep when one is overtired．

1．The shocking collapse of one of the West Coast's biggest wild salmon runs has prompted even cash-trapped fishermen to call for an unprecedented （空前的） shutdown of salmon fishing off the coasts of California and Oregon．
The Sacramento River salmon run is usually one of the most productive on the Pacific Coast，providing the bulk of the salmon caught by sport and commercial   trollers off California and Oregon．
But only about 90，000adult salmon returned to the Central Valley last fall--the second lowest number on record and well below the number needed to maintain a healthy fishery．That number is projected to fall to a record low of58.000this year．
The council，which regulates Pacific Coast fisheries，will choose between three management options：a total ban on salmon fishing off the coast of California and Oregon；extremely limited fishing in select areas；or catch-and-release fishing for scientific research．
For consumers，it will be hard to find any Chinook，also known as king salmon．which are prized by trollers，seafood critics and upscale restaurants．There should still be abundant supplies of farm-raised salmon．but prices could be higher．
Biologists and others are trying to figure out what caused the salmon collapse so they can make sure California's Chinook populations rebound．
There are many potential factors，because wild salmon are born in streams and rivers，migrate to the ocean when they're juveniles and spend two to four years there before returning to spawn（產(chǎn)卵）in the areas where they were born． In between they have to navigate the often dangerous waters of the Sacramento Delta and San Francisco Bay．
The council has asked state and federal scientists to research possible causes，including water diversions，habitat destruction，dam operations，agricultural pollution，and ocean conditions．Many scientists point out that unusual weather patterns disrupted the marine food chain along the Pacific Coast in 2005，when thousands of seabirds washed up dead or starving because they couldn't find enough to eat．
Researchers believe those poor ocean conditions also devastated the juvenile salmon that would have returned to the Central Valley last year．Young Chinook couldn't find the tiny shrimp and fish they depend onto survive．

36．The underlined word"troller"in the 2nd paragraph meansA．
A．fisherman    B．merchant    C．seafood dealer  D．organizer
37．Which of the following statements is true about the passage？A
A．Last fall，there was the second lowest number of grown salmon returning on record．
B．The salmon migrates to the ocean when they grow up．
C．The farm-raised salmon is not as delicious and nutrients as the wild salmon．
D．Salmon fishing off the coasts of California and Oregon is strictly forbidden．
38．The underlined sentence"In between they have to navigate the often dangerous waters of the Sacramento Delta and San Francisco Bay．"in Para 7indicates thatC．
A．a(chǎn)11the salmon with their young are able to come back to their birthplace．
B．Sacramento Delta and San Francisco Bay are off the coast of California．
C the salmon has to be strong enough to survive the rapid flowing waters．
D．the salmon has to swim across the Sacramento Delta and San Francisco Bay once in their life．
39．The possible causes of the salmon decrease mentioned do NOT includeC．
A．a(chǎn)bnormal weather patterns broke me marine food chain along the Pacific Coast
B．bad ocean condition prevented the salmon from returning to their birthplace
C．many salmons are eaten in the ocean before they are capable of returning
D．the dam operation may change the salmons'living environment in the river
40．The passage is mainly about--．B
A．the agricultural pollution soils the coast，
B．the declining number of salmon could bring fishing ban
C．the disrupted food chain in the Pacific Coast
D．the fishermen could make little profit of salmon．

6．You Are What You Eat
Genetic（基因的）engineering is the scientific change of the genetic material in a living organism． It allows scientists to identify specific genes，to remove them from an organism's chromosomes （染色體），improve them，analyze them，and possibly clone them，and to then reinsert the changed gene into the original organism，or a completely different organism．Unlike traditional breeding （繁殖），where a desired quality would be bred within the same species，genetic engineering can insert desired ones into organisms of different species．Wow…Did you catch that？
Genetic engineering creates many positive contributions to agriculture． For example，by genetically engineered（GE） foods，anti-cancer agents，minerals and vitamins can be increased．Improved taste，shelf life，and better transport are all possible．Also，GE plants can increase pest and bacterial resistance，therefore，making the food safe for consumers．
But some argue that the possible negative effects outweigh the positives，and critics are starting to voice their concerns．  Unlike Europe，in the United States labeling is not required on genetically engineered foods or on foods that contain genetically engineered products． Most Americans do not realize that they are，in fact，eating GE foods．
The public is also concerned about the unknown health risks．With limited understanding of genes，scientists cannot predict possible effects．Because most genes introduced into GE plants come from sources not introduced into the human body，it is impossible to know if they will cause reactions． Moreover，due to the lack of labeling if allergies develop，it will be extremely difficult to find the origin of them．
There is also a major moral question in many minds．For many，the conflict is not if it is safe or not，but it disturbs them because it is unnatural and unnecessary．We are currently producing one and a half times the amount of food needed to feed the world，yet one in seven people are starving．GE food is unnecessary，and fails to address the root of hunger． Many believe that the only people who will benefit are the corporations that produce it．
Scientists cannot foresee t．he possible effects of GE foods，yet we eat them every day without even knowing it．We already have enough food，so why create more that could be potentially harmful to us，to the Earth and to all wildlife？I think that the benefits are amazing，but until we know for sure how these foods will affect us，they are not worth the risk．

67．According to the passage，traditional breeding is different from genetic engineering in thatC．
A．traditional breeding changes the genes in the same species
B．traditional breeding changes the genes in different species
C．traditional breeding takes place within the same species
D．traditional breeding is more scientific
68．"The lack of labeling"in Paragraph 4indicatesA．
A．information concerning gene sources is unavailable to customers
B．it is currently possible to find the origins of some allergies
C．scientists try to hide potential dangers from customers
D．the US government is responsible for GE food
69．According to Paragraph 5，GE food is unnecessary becauseA．
A．it won't help solve the problem of hunger in the world
B．there are potential dangers in producing GE food
C．we're now producing more food than before
D．customers will benefit from GE food
70．What is the author's attitude towards genetic engineering？B
A．Welcoming．  B．Disapproving．   C．Unconcerned．   D．Optimistic．
