阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Iagine living in a city ade of glass. No, this isn’t a fairy tale. If you could grab your diving gear and swi down 650 feet into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Washington State, you would witness the secret world of glass reefs.
The reef you’d be looking at is ade up of glass sponges(海绵). But how can anials be ade of glass? Well, glass is fored fro a substance called silica. The sponges use the silica found in ocean waters to build glass structures that will give the shape and support. Be careful! Soe of the fragile creatures are up to 200 years old.
When sponges die, new ones grow on top of the pile of old ones. Over centuries, a assive and coplex reef takes shape. Soe sponges look like wrinkled trupets, while others look like overgrown cauliflower or ushroos.
Dr. Paul Johnson, who discovered the Washington reef in 2007, also found other surprises such as bubbles of ethane(甲烷) gas flowing out of the seafloor nearby. The ethane feeds bacteria, and the bacteria feed the glass sponges.
“It’s a new ecosyste we know nothing about,” said Dr. Johnson.
The reef of yellow and orange glass sponges is crowded with crabs, shrip, starfish, wors, snails, and rockfish. The glass reef is also a nursery for the babies of any of these creatures and was called a “kindergarten” by scientists.
any anials that live in the reef hang around for a long tie, just like the sponges. Rockfish, for exaple, live for ore than 100 years. Scientists are just beginning to study all the species that call the reef hoe.
The Washington coast isn’t the only place where a living glass reef has been found. The first was discovered in Hecate Strait off the coast of British Colubia in 1991. Scientists all over the world were stunned to see it.
26. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. an-ade cities under the sea B. The world under the sea

C. ethane is harful to glass sponges.
D. Glass sponges depend on the bacteria for a living.
29. Why did scientists call the glass reef a “kindergarten”?
A. Because the babies of any sea creatures grow well there.
B. Because thousands of children visit it every year.

30. What does the underlined word “stunned” in the last paragraph ean?

Throughout this long, tense election, everyone has focused on the presidential candidates and how they’ll change Aerica. Rightly so, but selfishly, I’ ore fascinated by ichelle Obaa and what she ight be able to do, not just for this country, but for e as an African-Aerican woan. As the potential First Lady, she would have the world’s attention. And that eans that for the first tie people will have a chance to get up close and personal with the type of African-Aerican woan they so rarely see.
　　Usually, the lives of black woen go largely unexained. The prevailing theory sees to be that we’re all hot-tepered single others who can’t keep a an. Even in the world of ake-believe, black woen still can’t escape the stereotype of being eye-rolling, oversexed feales raised by our never-arried, alcoholic (酗酒的) others.
　　These iages have helped define the way all woen are viewed, including ichelle Obaa. Before she ever gets the chance to coit to a cause, charity or foundation as First Lady, her ost urgent and perhaps ost coplicated duty ay be siple to be herself.
　　It won’t be easy. Because few ainstrea publications have done in-depth features on regular African-Aerican woen, little is known about who we are, what we think and what we face on a regular basis. For better or worse, ichelle will represent us all.
　　Just as she will have her critics, she will also have illions of fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady. any African-Aerican blogs have written about what they’d like to see ichelle bring to the White House—ainly showing the world that a black woan can support her an and raise a strong black faily. ichelle will have to work to please everyone—an ipossible task. But for any African-Aerican woen like e, just a little of her poise (沉着), confidence and intelligence will go a long way in changing an iage that’s been around for far too long.
　　36. Why does ichelle Obaa hold a strong fascination for the author?
　　A) She serves as a role odel for African woen.
　　B) She possesses any adirable qualities becoing a First Lady.
　　C) She will present to the world a new iage of African-Aerican woen.
　　D) She will pay closer attention to the interests of African-Aerican woen.
　　37. What is the coon stereotype of African-Aerican woen according to the author?
　　A) They are victis of violence. B) They are of an inferior violence.
　　C) They use quite a lot of body language. D) They live on charity and social welfare.
　　38. What do any African-Aericans write about in their blogs?
　　A) Whether ichelle can live up to the high expectations of her fans.
　　B) How ichelle should behave as a public figure.
　　C) How proud they are to have a black woan in the White House.
　　D) What ichelle should do as wife and other in the White House.
　　39. What does the author say about ichelle Obaa as a First Lady?
　　A) However any fans she has, she should reain odest,
　　B) She shouldn’t disappoint the African-Aerican counity.
　　C) However hard she tries, she can’t expect to please everybody.
　　D) She will give priority to African-Aerican woen’s concerns.
　　40. What do any African-Aerican woen hope ichelle Obaa will do?
　　A) Help change the prevailing view about black woen.
　　B) Help her husband in the task of changing Aerica.
　　C) Outshine previous First Lady.
　　D) Fully display her fine qualities.

　　When next year’s crop of high-school graduates arrive at Oxford University in the fall of 2009, they’ll be joined by a new face; Andrew Hailton, the 55-year-old provost (教务长) of Yale, who’ll becoe Oxford’s vice-chancellor—a position equivalent to university president in Aerica.
　　Hailton isn’t the only educator crossing the Atlantic. Schools in France, Egypt, Singapore, etc, have also recently ade top-level hires fro abroad. Higher education has becoe a big and copetitive business nowadays, and like so any businesses, it’s gone global. Yet the talent flow isn’t universal. High-level personnel tend to head in only one direction: outward fro Aerica.
　　The chief reason is that Aerican schools don’t tend to seriously consider looking abroad. For exaple, when the board of the University of Colorado searched for a new president, it wanted a leader failiar with the state governent, a ajor source of the university’s budget. “We didn’t do any global consideration,” says Patricia Hayes, the board’s chair. The board ultiately picked Bruce Benson, a 69-year-old Colorado businessan and political activist (活动家) who is likely to do well in the ain task of odern university presidents: fund-raising. Fund-raising is a distinctively Aerican thing, since U.S. schools rely heavily on donations. The fund-raising ability is largely a product of experience and necessity.
　　any European universities, eanwhile, are still ostly dependent on governent funding. But governent support has failed to keep pace with rising student nuber. The decline in governent support has ade funding-raising an increasing necessary ability aong adinistrators and has hiring coittees hungry for Aericans.
　　In the past few years, proinent schools around the world have joined the trend. In 2003, when Cabridge University appointed Alison Richard, another forer Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen “a ajor strengthening of Yale’s financial position.”
　　Of course, fund-raising isn’t the only skill outsiders offer. The globalization of education eans ore universities will be seeking heads with international experience of soe kind of proote international progras and attract a global student body. Foreigners can offer a fresh perspective on established practices.
41. What is the current trend in higher education discussed in the passage?
　　A) Institutions worldwide are hiring adinistrators fro the U.S.
　　B) A lot of political activists are being recruited as adinistrators.
　　C) Aerican universities are enrolling ore international students.
　　D) University presidents are paying ore attention to funding-raising.
42. What is the chief consideration of Aerican universities when hiring top-level adinistrators?
　　A) The political correctness. B) Their ability to raise funds.
　　C) Their fae in acadeic circles. D) Their adinistrative experience.
43. What do we learn about European universities fro the passage?
　　A) The tuitions they charge have been rising considerably.
　　B) Their operation is under strict governent supervision.
　　C) They are strengthening their position by globalization.
　　D) ost of their revenues coe fro the governent.
44. Cabridge University appointed Alison Richard as its vice-chancellor chiefly because _____.
　　A) she was known to be good at raising oney
　　B) she could help strengthen its ties with Yale
　　C) she knew how to attract students overseas
　　D) she had boosted Yale’s acadeic status
45. In what way do top-level adinistrators fro abroad contribute to university developent?
　　A) They can enhance the university’s iage.
　　B) They will bring with the ore international faculty.
　　C) They will view a lot of things fro a new perspective.
D) They can set up new acadeic disciplines.
