We invited staff volunteers who had a strong liking for either Coca-Cola Classic (传统型) or Pepsi, Diet (低糖的) Coke, or Diet Pepsi. These were people who thought they'd have no trouble tellingtheir brand from the other brand.
We eventually located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers. Then we fed them four unidentified samples of cola one at a time, regular colas for the one group, diet versions for the other. We asked them to tell us whether each sample was Coke or Pepsi; then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the participants' choices with what mere guess-work could have accomplished.
Getting all four samples right was a tough test, but not too tough, we thought, for people who believed they could recognize their brand. In the end, only 7 out of 19 regular cola drinkers correctly identified their brand of choice in all four trials. The diet-cola drinkers did a little worse-only 7 to 27 identified all four samples correctly.
While both groups did better than chance would predict, nearly half the participants in each group made the wrong choice two or more times.Two people got all four samples wrong. Overall, half the participants did about as well on the last round of tasting as on the first, so fatigue, or taste burnout, was not a factor. Our preference test results suggest that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price.
71.According to the passage the preference test was conducted in order to _______.
A.find out the role taste preference plays in a person's drinking
B.reveal which cola is more to the liking of the drinkers
C.show that a person's opinion about taste is mere guess-work
D.compare the ability of the participants in choosing their drinks
72.The statistics recorded in the preference tests show _____.
A.Coca-Cola and Pepsi are people's two most favorite drinks
B.there is not much difference in taste between Coca-Cola and Pepsi
C.few people had trouble telling Coca-Cola from Pepsi
D.people's tastes differ from one another
73.It is implied in the first paragraph that ______.
A.the purpose of taste tests is to promote the sale of colas
B.the improvement of quality is the chief concern of the two cola companies
C.the competition between the two colas is very strong
D.blind tasting is necessary for identifying fans
74.The word "burnout" (Line 4, Para. 5) here refers to the state of _____.
A.being seriously burnt in the skin
B.being unable to burn for lack of fuel
C.being badly damaged by fire
D.being unable to function because of excessive use
75.The author's purpose in writing this passage is to ______.

B.argue that taste testing is an important marketing strategy
C.emphasize that taste and price are closely related to each other
D.recommend that blind tasting be introduced in the quality control of colas
第5题
“Energy independence” and its rhetorical (修辞的) companion “energy security” are, however, slippery concepts that are rarely though through. What is it we want independence from, exactly？
Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil. But there are reasons that we buy all that old from elsewhere.
The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running. Yes, there is a trickle(涓涓细流)of biofuel(生物燃料)available, and more may become available, but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction.
Second, Americans have basically decided that they don't really want to produce all their own oil. They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad. Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection. To what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports？
Third, there are benefits to trade. It allows for economic efficiency, and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do, we benefit. And although you don't read about this much, the United States is also a large exporter of oil products, selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries.
There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and, in fact, relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy. When that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices, At the same time, we derive massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world.
61. What does the author say about energy independence for America？()
A.It sounds very attractive.
B.It ensures national security.
C.It will bring oil prices down.
D.t has long been everyone's dream.
62. What does the author think of biofuels？()
A.They keep America's economy running healthily.
B.They prove to be a good alternative to petroleum.
C.They do not provide a sustainable energy supply.
D.They cause serious damage to the environment.
63. Why does America rely heavily on oil imports？()
A.It wants to expand its storage of crude oil.
B.Its own oil reserves are quickly running out.
C.It wants to keep its own environment intact.
D.Its own oil production falls short of demand.
64. What does the author say about oil trade？()
A.It proves profitable to both sides.
B.It improves economic efficiency.
C.It makes for economic prosperity.
D.It saves the cost of oil exploration.
65. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage？()
A.To justify America's dependence on oil imports.
B.To arouse Americans' awareness of the energy crisis.
C.To stress the importance of energy conservation.
D.To explain the increase of international oil trade.

cancer. originally,because of a lawsuit that alleged such a link Network news programs ran their own tests of cell phones,reporting to the public that some cell phones exceed the maximum level of emitted radio frequency energy allowed by the US Federal Communications Commission.
In 2000.it was estimated that there were 92 million cell phone users in the United States and this number was growing by 1 million every month. More recently,the Cellar Telecommunications & Internet Association estimated that there were almost 170 million US cell phone users, and the seriousness of brain tumours, this is clearly a topic of wide concern.This report summarizes what we now know about the carcinogenicity of using cell phones.
Cell phones operate with radio frequencies.a form. of energy located on the electromagnetic spectrum between F M radio waves and the waves used in microwave ovens,radar;and satellite stations.Cell phones do not emit ionizing radiation,the type that damages DNA and is known to have the ability to cause cancer.
Cell phone technology works on a system of geographically separated zones called "cells" Each cell has its own "base station" that both receives and emits radio waves.When a call is placed from a cell phone,a signal is sent from the cell phone antenna to that cell's base station antenna.The base station responds to the cell phone signal by assigning the phone an available RF channel.When the RF channel is assigned,radio signals are simultaneously received and transmitted, allowing voice information to be carried between the cell phone and the base.The base station transfers the call to a switching centre.where the call can be transferred to a local telephone carrier or another cell phone.
6.There has existed argument about the link between cell phone and brain tumour.()
7.The rapid growing number of cell phone users has been a great concern in the US.()
8.The 3rd paragraph tries to prove that cell phones do not cause brain cancer.()
