The Weight Experiment
Nicola Walters has been taking part in experiments in Scotland to discover why humans gain and lose weight. Being locked in a small room called a“ calorimeter”（热量测量室）is one way to find out.
1 .The signs above the two rooms read simply“Chamber One”and“Chamber Two”.These are the calorimeters:4m by 2m white-walled rooms where human volunteers are locked up in the name of science .Outside these rooms another sign reads“Please do not enter work in progress” and in front of the rooms advanced machinery registers every move the volunteers make.Each day,meals measured to the last gram are passed through a hole in the wall of the calorimeter to the resident volunteer.
2 .Nicola Walters is one of twenty volunteers who,over the past eight months,have spent varying periods inside the calorimeter. Tall and slim,Nicola does not have a weight problem,but thought the strict diet might help with her training and fitness programme.As a self-employed community dance rorker,she was able to fit the experiment in around her work.She saw an advert for volun- teers at her local gym and as she is interested in the whole area of diet and exercise,she thought she would help out.
3. The experiment on Nicola involved her spending one day on a fixed diet at home and the next in the room.This sequence was repeated four times over six weeks.She arrived at the calorimeter at8:30 am on each of the four mornings and from then on everything she ate or drank was carefull) measured .Her every move was noted too,her daily exercise routine,timed to the last second. At regular intervals,after eating,she filled in forms about how hungry she felt and samples were taken for analysis.
4 .The scientists help volunteers impose a kind of order on the long days they face in the room. “The first time,I only took one video and a book,but it was OK because I watched TV the rest of the time,”says Nicola. And twice a day she used the exercise bike. She pedaled（踩踏板） for half an hour,watched by researchers to make sure she didn't go too fast.
5 .It seems that some foods encourage you to eat more,while others satisfy you quickly.Volunteers are already showing that high-fat diets are less likely to make you feel full.Believing that they may now know what encourages people to overeat,the researchers are about to start testing a high-protein weight-loss diet. Volunteers are required and Nicola has signed up for further sessions.
Volunteers have to get prepared for the time in the calorimeter_________.
A: the volunteers do
B:.because she does not have a weight problem
C: because the life there can be very boring
D: make people overeat
E: because she was her own boss
F: after passing a high-protein test

Eastern Quakes can Trigger Big Shakes
In the first week of November 2011,people in central Oklahoma experienced more than two dozen earth-
quakes.The largest,a magnitude（量）5.6 quake,shook thousands of fans in a college football stadium,
caused cracks in a few buildings and scared many people who had never felt a quake before.Oklahoma is not
an area of the country famous for its quakes.If you watch the news on TV,you will see reports about all sorts
of natural disasters.But the most dangerous type of natural disaster,and also the most unpredictable,is the
earthquake.
Researchers at the US Geological Survey(USGS)estimate that several million earthquakes occur globally
each year. That may sound scary,but people don't feel many of them because they happen in remote and
unpopulated regions.Many quakes happen under the ocean,and others have a very small magnitude.
Scientists know about small,remote quakes only because of very sensitive electronic devices called seis-
mometers（地震仪）.These devices detect and measure the size of ground vibrations（震颤）produced by
earthquakes.Altogether,USGS researchers use seismometers to identify and locate about 20,000 earthquakes
each year.
Although earthquakes can happen anywhere in the world,really big quakes occur only in certain areas.
The largest ones register a magnitude 8 or higher and happen,on average,only once each year. Such big
ones typically occur along the edges of Earth ' s tectonic plates（构造板块）.
Tectonic plates are huge pieces of Earth ' s crust（外壳）,sometimes many kilometers thick. Often,
edges of these plates temporarily lock together. When plates push and scrape（擦）past each other earthquakes
occur. On average,tectonic plates move very slowly一about the same speed as your fingernails grow.
But sometimes earthquakes rumble（轰轰作响）through portions of the landscape far from a plate ' s
edges.Although less expected,these"mid-plate"small earthquakes can do substantial damage.Some of the
biggest known examples hit the eastern half of the United States two centuries ago.Today,scientists are still
puzzling over why the quakes occurred and when similar ones might occur.
Big earthquakes of a magnitude 8 or higher seldom happen far from the edges of tectonic plates.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

Every Dog Has His Say
Kimiko Fukuda always wondered what her dog was trying to say.Whenever she put on make-up,it would pull at her sleeve.______(46)When the dog barks,she glances at a small elec-tronic gadget（装置）.The following" human" translation appears on its screen; "Please take me with you.""I realized that's how he was feeling."says Fukuda.
The gadget is called Bowlingual,and it translates dog barks into feelings.People laughed when the Japanese toymaker Takara Company made the world's first dog-human translation ma-chine in 2002 .But 300,000 Japanese dog owners bought it.______(47)
"Nobody else had thought about it."said Masahiko Kajita,who works for Takara."We spend so much time training dogs to understand our orders;what would it be like if we could understand dogs?"
Bowlingual has two parts.______(48)The translation is done in the gadget using a data-base containing every kind of bark.
Based on animal behavior research,these noises are divided into six categories:happiness, sadness,frustration,anger,declaration and desire.______(49)In this way,the database scien-tifically matches a bark to an emotion,which is then translated into one of 200 phrases.
When a visitor went to Fukuda's house recently,the dog barked a loud"wow wow".______(50)It was followed by"I'm stronger than you"as the dog growled and sniffed（嗅）at the visitor. The product will be available in US pet stores this summer for about US$120.It can store up to 100 barks,even recording the dog's emotions when the owner is away.
______(50)
A: A wireless microphone is attached to the dog's collar,which sends information to the gadget held by the owner.
B: Nobody really knows how a dog feels.
C: This translated as"Don't come this way".
D: More customers are expected when the English version is launched this summer.
E: Now,the Japanese girl thinks she knows.
F: Each one of these emotions is then linked to a phrase like"Let's play","Look at me",or "Spend more time with me".

Observations in recent years have changed the basic_______(2)of how the
universe evolved and have indicated how little is known about the major forces and
substances that_______(3)our world.

Steinhardt and a co-author of a review on dark matter which_______(9)not long ago

Steinhardt said."For the first few billion years dark matter contained most of the mass of the
universe. You can think of ordinary matter_______(11)a froth（泡沫）of an ocean
