Task 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45. Demands for stronger protection for wildlife in Britain sometimes hide the fact that similar needs are felt in the rest of Europe. Studies by the Council of Europe, of which 21 countries are members, have shown that 45 percent of rep-tile (爬行动物) species and 24 percent of butterflies are in danger of dying out. European concern for wildlife was outlined by Dr. Peter Baum, an expert in the Environment and Nature Resources Division of the Council, when he spoke at a conference arranged by the administrators (管理人员) of a British national park. The park is one of the few areas in Europe to hold the Council’s diploma for nature reserves of the highest quality, and Dr. Baum had come to present it to the park once again. He was afraid the public opinion was turning against national parks, and that those set up in the 1960s and 1970s could not be set up today. But Dr. Baum clearly remained a stronger supporter of the view that natural environments needed to be allowed to survive in peace in their own right. No area could be expected to survive both as a true nature reserve and as a tourist attraction, he went on. The short-sighted view that reserves had to serve immediate human demands for outdoor recreation (消遣) should be replaced by fui1 acceptance of their importance as places to preserve nature for the future. Dr. Baum went on. "We could manage without most industrial products, but we could not manage without nature. However, our natural environment areas, which are the original parts of our countryside, have become mere islands in a spoiled and highly polluted land. " Dr. Baum believed that ______.
A. people would support to create more environment areas
B. people would continue to support those national parks in existence
C. existing national parks would need to be more independent to survive
D. certain national environment areas should be left undisturbed by man

Passage Two Every living thing has an inner biological clock that controls behavior. The clock works all the time even when there are no outside signs to mark the passing of time. The biological clock tells plants when to form flowers and when the flowers should open. It tells insects when to leave the protective cocoon and fly away. And it tells animals when to eat, sleep and wake. It controls body temperature, the release of some hormones and even dreams. These natural daily events are circadian rhythms. Man has known about them for thousands of years. But the first scientific observation of circadian rhythms was not made until 1729. In that year French astronomer, Jean-Jacques d’Ortous de Mairan, noted that one of his plants opened its leaves at the same time every morning, and closed them at the same time every night. The plant did this even when he kept it in a dark place all the time. Later scientists wondered about circadian rhythms in humans. They learned that man’s biological clock actually keeps time with a day of a little less than 25 hours instead of the 24 hours on a man-made clock. About four years ago an American doctor, Eliot Weitzman, established a laboratory to study how our biological clock works. The people in his experiments are shut off from the outside world. They are free to listen to and live by their circadian rhythms. Dr. Weitzman hopes his research will lead to effective treatments for common sleep problems and sleep disorders caused by aging and mental illness. The laboratory is in the Monteflore Hospital in New York City. It has two living areas with three small rooms in each. The windows are covered, so no sunlight or moonlight comes in. There are no radios or television receivers. There is a control room between the living areas. It contains computers, one-way cameras and other electronic devices for observing the person in the living area. The instruments measure heartbeat, body temperature, hormones in the blood, other substances in the urine and brain waves during sleep. A doctor or medical technician is on duty in the control room 24 hours a day during an experiment They do not work the same time each day and are not permitted to wear watches, so the person in the laboratory has no idea what time it is. In the first four years of research, Dr Weitzman and his assistant have observed 16 men between the ages of 21 and 80. The men remained in the laboratory for as long as six months. Last month, a science reporter for The New York Times newspaper, Dava Sobol, became the first woman to take part in the experiment. She entered the laboratory on June 13th and stayed for 25 days. Miss Sobol wrote reports about the experiment during that time, which were published in the newspaper. In the experiment conducted by Mr. Weitzman, the doctor who is on duty does not work the same time each day ______.
A. in order to observe the abnormal behavior of the people at different times
B. so as not to be recognized by the people
C. so as to avoid indicating to the people what time it is when he starts work
D. so as to leave the people’s circadian rhythms in disorder

Task 5Directions: The following is a business letter. After reading, it, you should give brief answers to the 5 questions (No. 56 to No. 60) that follow. The answers (in no more than 3 words) should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet. October 8, 2010Dear Sirs, Many thanks for your offer (报价) dated August 26th for leather shoes and for the illustrated catalogues you very kindly sent us. We appreciate the high quality of your goods, but unfortunately we are not in a position to accept the offer on your terms. Your prices appear to be on rather high side and they will leave us little or no margin of profit. As you may know, this is an area in which the principal demand is for goods in the medium price range, and leather shoes of the same quality from some other suppliers are now available in this market at much lower prices than yours. Some suppliers even offer a special discount of as high as 20% on orders exceeding $15 000. Much as we would like to do more business with you, it is rather difficult for us to accept the prices you offered. Unless you can reduce your prices by 10%, we will have no choice but to satisfy our requirements elsewhere. It is highly appreciated if you will give the matter your due consideration and allow us the discount as we suggested. We await your early reply. Yours faithfully, Charles Austen What did some suppliers offer on orders exceeding $15 000 A price reduction by ______.
