10、scientists have worked hard to understand the changes that happen to them. They find that three factors 41 falls colorful farewell leaf pigments (色素), length of night, and weather. The timing of the color change is mainly regulated by the increasing length of night. None of the other 42 influences,

11、such as temperature, rainfall, food supply, are as unchanging as the 43 increasing length of night during fall. As days grow shorter, and nights grow longer and cooler, biochemical 44 in leaves begin to paint the landscape with an explosion of colors. And Nature puts on one of its most splendid 45 o

15、tion ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Every year the United Sates exports cultural products to the rest of the world while it only imports similar products

16、from other countries equal to about one percent of the amount exported. Movies, for example, are one such 50 . The movie industry in countries like England and Italy is almost completely 51 on American exports. Both countries report that 85% to 95% of all movie tickets sold each year are for movies

17、produced in the United States. Millions of people worldwide buy American pop, rap, and rock music. Billions of people drink Coca-Cola and eat McDonalds hamburgers.

It is more concerned with stimulating thought in the people who view or use it and does not 56 care how marketable people find it Low culture, 57 . is viewed as a product usuall

19、y for entertainment and is only as good as how well it sells. Because it is 58 by masses of people, this type of culture can also be called mass culture. The 59 between low and high culture are not very clear.Pierre Guerlain, a professor of English and American Studies in France, points out that whe

20、n a cultural product is imported, the product cannot cover the existing culture, thus 60 it. The imported product is changed to adapt to the local context. Anyone who believes that a society which imports American products of mass culture will become a 61 of America is being naive(幼稚的).America may s

26、ach of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Until recently, the science of the future was supposed to be electronics and artificial intelligence. Today it seems more and more likely tha

27、t the next great breakthroughs in technology will be brought through a combination of those two sciences with organic chemistry and genetic engineering. This combination is the science of biotechnology.Organic chemistry enables us to produce marvelous synthetic materials. However, it is still diffic

28、ult to manufacture anything that has the property of wool to conserve ($#) heat and also to absorb moisture. Nothing that we have been able to produce so far comes anywhere near the combination of strength, lightness and flexibility that we find in the bodies of ordinary insects.Nevertheless, scient

29、ists in the laboratory have already succeeded in growing a material that has many of the characteristics of human skin. The next step may well be biotech hearts and eyes which can replace diseased organs in human beings. These will not be rejected by the body, as is the case with organs from humans.

30、The application of biotechnology to energy production seems even more promising. In 1996 the famous science fiction writer, Arthur C. Clarke, many of whose previous predictions have come true, said that we may soon be able to develop remarkably cheap and renewable sources of energy. Some of these po

31、wer sources will be biological. Clarke and others have warned us repeatedly that sooner or later we will have to give up our dependence on non-renewable power sources. Coal, oil and gas are indeed convenient. However, using them also means creating dangerously high levels of pollution. It will be im

32、possible to meet the growing demand for energy without increasing that pollution to disastrous levels unless we develop power sources that are both cheaper and cleaner.It is tempting to think that biotechnology or some other science of the future can solve our problems. Before we surrender to that temptation we should remember nuclear power. Only a few generations ago it seemed to promise limitless, cheap and safe energy. Today those promises lie buried in a concrete grave in a place called Chernobyl, in
