第2题：After flexing its mechanical arm and finding some puzzling chemistry in a patch of Martian soil,the robotic rover Spirit began investigating the composition of a rock namedAdirondack yesterday with two science instruments and a microscopic camer
A、
Following programmed instructions from flight controllers, the six-wheel rover made several short turns and moved forward about six feet. It stopped within inches of the pyramid-shaped rock, about the size of a football. It was the vehicle’s second maneuver on the Martian surface since landing there on Jan. 3.
Scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena,Calif., said they did not expect results of the first rock examination until early today.But they were already both pleased and puzzled over the soil test results.
"We’re starting to put together a picture of what the soil at Gusev is really like,"Dr. Steven W. Squyres ofCornell, the principal scientist of the mission, said at a news conference in Pasaden
A、He was referring to the Spirit’s landing site in Gusev crater, near the Martian equator. Two of the Spirit’s main science instruments, the M6ssbauer spectrometer and the alpha particle X-ray spectrometer, made a close examination of soil near the landing base.
German scientists in charge of the studies reported that X-rays emitted by the surface soil indicated a chemical composition mainly of silicon and iron, with smaller amounts of sulfur, chlorine and argon.Argon is a noble gas that is part of the Martian atmosphere. Previous Martian sites visited by landing craft also contained significant amounts of sulfur and chlorine.
Other members of the project’s science team said the M6ssbauer spectrometer found considerable amounts of the mineral olivine in the soil. Olivine, which contains oxygen, iron and magnesium, is often found in volcanic rocks. The Martian soil may resemble the volcanic soil of Hawaii.
"One possibility is that this soil is simply ground-up lava,"Dr. Squyres saiD、"That would surprise me, but it’s entirely possible that beneath .those grains there is solid rock and we are detecting some of that solid rock, not the s0il."
Another property of the soil perplexed geologists. The fine grains of the Gusev surface seem to stick together in dry clumps. Geologists suspected static electricity as the clinging force. If so, they said, the soil should collapse and flatten out when the M6ssbauer spectrometer pressed against the grounD、Nothing collapsed, leadingDr. Squyres to ask what force was. responsible for holding them together.
"But they were already both ,pleased and puzzled over the soil test results" in Par
A、3 can best be used to mean ______.
A、they felt both happy and satisfactory over the test resultsB、they didn’t expect to find the wonderful resultsC、they wanted very much to do more research over the rocksD、they were glad to see the results but they can’t explain them

"Humans should not try to avoid stress any more than they would shun food, love or exercise." saidDr. Hans Selye, the first physician to document the effects of stress on the body. While here’s no question that continuous stress is harmful, several studies suggest that challenging situations in which you’re able to rise to the occasion can be good for you.
In a 2001 study of 158 hospital nurses, those who faced considerable work demands but coped with the challenge were more likely to say they were in good health than those who felt they couldn’t get the job done.
Stress that you can manage may also boost immune(免疫的)function. In a study at theAcademicCenter forDentistry inAmsterdam, researchers put volunteers through two stressful experiences. In the first, a timed task that required memorizing a list followed by a short test, subjects believed they had control over the outcome. In the second, they weren’t in control: They had to sit through a gory(血淋淋的)video on surgical procedures. Those who did go on the memory test had an increase in levels of immunoglobulin(免疫球蛋白)A, an antibody that’s the body’s first line of defense against germs. The video-watchers experienced a downturn in the antibody.
Stress prompts the body to produce certain stress hormones. In short bursts these hormones have a positive effect, including improved memory function. "They can help nerve cells handle information and put it into storage," saysDr.Bruce McEwen of Rockefeller University in New York.But in the long run these hormones can have a harmful effect on the body and brain.
"Sustained stress is not good for you," says Richard Morimoto, a researcher at Northwestern University in Illinois studying the effects of stress on longevity (长寿),"It’s the occasional burst of stress or brief exposure to stress that could be protective. "(325w)

{{B}}Passage One{{/B}}
In the experiment described in Paragraph 3, the video-watchers experienced a downturn in the antibody because ______.A．the video was not enjoyable at all
B．the outcome was beyond their control
C．they knew little about surgical procedures
D．they felt no pressure while watching the video

第4题：Many theories concerning the causes of juvenile delinquency (青少年犯罪) focus either on the individual or on society as the major contributing influence. Theories (56) on the individual suggest that children engage in criminal behavior (57) they were not sufficiently penalized for previous misdeeds or that they have learned criminal behavior through (58) with others. Theories focusing on the role of society suggest that children commit crimes in response to their failure to rise above their socioeconomic status (59) as a rejection of middle-class values.
Most theories of juvenile delinquency have focused on children from disadvantaged families, (60) the fact that children from wealthy homes also commit crimes. The latter may commit crimes for lack of adequate parental control.All theories, however, are tentative and are (61) to criticism.
Changes in the social structure may indirectly (62) juvenile crime rates. Families have also (63) changes these years. More families consist of one parent households or two working parents; (64) , children are likely to have less supervision at home, (65) was common in the traditional family (66) . This lack of parental supervision is thought to be an influence on juvenile crime rates. Other (67) causes of offensive acts include frustration or failure in school, the increased (68) of drugs and alcohol, and the growing (69) of child abuse and child neglect.All these conditions tend to increase the probability of a child committing a criminal act, (70) a direct causal relationship (因果关系) has not yet been establisheD、
A．contrarily
B．consequently
C．similarly
D．simultaneously

When FrankDale took over as publisher of LosAngeles Herrald-Examiner, the organization had just ended a ten-year strike. There was much bitterness and, as he told us. "Everybody that I found there had lost their curiosity, they’d lost their cutting edge, there was no interest, they just hung on...I had a real problem." His very first task was to introduce himself to everybody, to thank them for their loyalty to that point, and to allow them to express their concerns and frustrations. To questions like "What makes you think you can make this thing go " he responded, "I don’t know yet, but in thirty days I’ll come back to you and let you know what I’ve founD、" He recruited a task force of the best people from throughout the HearstCorporation to do a crash study, and in thirty days he had a written report on what needed to be done, which he shared with the staff. He had taken the all-important first steps to establish mutual trust, without which leadership would not have been possible.
Trust is the emotional glue that binds followers and leaders together. The accumulation of trust is a measure of the legitimacy of leadership. It cannot be demanded or purchased; it must be earneD、Trust is the basic ingredient of all organizations, the lubrication that maintains the organization, and it is as mysterious and difficult a concept as leadership-and as important.
One thing we can say for sure about trust is that if trust is to be generated, there must be predictability, the capacity to predict another’s behavior.Another way of putting it is to say that organizations without trust would resemble the ambiguous nightmare of Kafka’s TheCastle, where nothing can be certain and nobody can be relied on or be held responsible. The ability to predict outcomes with s high probability of success generates and maintaining trust.
