阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Language as a System of Symbols
Of all systems of symbols(符号), language is the most highly developed. It has been pointed out that human beings, by agreement, can make anything stand for anything. Human beings have agreed, in the course of centuries of mutual(相互的)dependency, to let the various noises that they can produce with their lungs, throats, tongues, teeth, and lips systematically stand for certain happenings in their nervous systems. We call that system of agreements language.
There is no necessary connection between the symbol and that which it stands for. Just as social positions can be symbolized by feathers worn on the head, by gold on the watch chain, or by a thousand other things according to the culture we live in, so the fact of being hungry can be symbolized by a thousand different noises according to the culture we live in.
However obvious these facts may appear at first glance, they are actually not so obvious as they seem except when we take special pains to think about the subject. Symbols and the things they stand for are independent of each other, yet we all have a way of feeling as if, and sometimes acting as if, there were necessary connections. For example, there are people who feel that foreign languages are unreasonable by nature; foreigners have such funny names for things, and why can’t they call things by their right names? This feeling exhibits itself most strongly in those English and American tourists who seem to believe that they can make the natives of any country understand English if they shout loud enough. Like the little boy who is reported to have said: “Pigs are called pigs because they are such dirty animals,”they feel that the symbol is inherently(内在地) connected in some way with the things symbolized.
61. Language is a highly developed system of symbols because human beings ______.
A. have made use of language for centuries
B. use our nervous systems to support language
C. have made various noises stand for any events
D. can make anything stand for anything by agreement
62. WhaLanguage is a highly developed system of symbols because human beings ______.
t can we conclude from Paragraph 2?
A. Different noises may mean different things.
B. Our culture determines what a symbol stands for.
C. The language we use symbolizes our social positions.
D. Our social positions determine the way we are dressed.
63. In Paragraph 3, “take special pains” probably means “_____”.
A. try very hard
B. take our time
C. are very unhappy
D. feel especially painful
64. The example of the little boy is used to show that _____.
A. adults often learn from their young
B. “pig” is a dirty word because pigs are dirty
C. words are not connected with the things they stand for
D. people sometimes have wrong ideas about how language works
B
Doctors may now be able to stop many heart attacks. An important new study reports that doctors have a new drug. This drug is called TPA. It may be better than any other heart drugs.
Many doctors now use a drug called streptokinase. But this drug sometimes causes problems for patients. It can even cause bleeding（流血）in the brain. Some doctors do not use streptokinase. Streptokinase can save about 1/3 of the people with heart attacks. But TPA will save about 2/3.
One reason TPA can help more people is because of time. This new drug is easier and faster to use. It will give doctors more time in hospitals. Then they can study the problem well. People with heart problems can also keep some TPA at home. When a heart attack starts, they can take some TPA right away. Then they will have time to get to the hospital. This is important because about 860,000 people in the United States die before they get to the hospital.
This is another reason why TPA is good news for people with heart attacks. According to the study, it is much safer; it doesn’t cause other prob lems like streptokinase does. TAP works only on the heart. It does not have an effect on the blood or cause bleeding.
Doctor plan to do more studies about TAP. They need to test this new drug on many more people with heart attacks. But in a few years, many doctors and hospitals will probably start using this exciting new drug.
65. In your opinion, the best title for this passage is .
A. Heart Attacks
B. A New Drug for Heart Attacks
C. The Cause of Heart Attacks
D. A Drug Called Streptokinase
66. The story says that TPA .
A. is safer and faster than the old drug
B. is very dangerous
C. is slower and harder to use than the old drug
D. causes many problems
67. This new drug may mean .
A. more people will die from heart attacks
B. the same number of people will die from heart attacks
C. fewer people will die from heart attacks
D. no one will die from heart attacks
68. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Streptokinase is the new drug for heart attacks
B. TPA can save fewer people with heart attacks that streptokinase
C. people who take TPA at home before they go to hospital must be very careful.
D. Probably TPA will be widely used in America in the following years.

The Sahara Festival is a celebration of the very recent past. The three-day event is not fixed to the same dates each year, but generally takes place in November or December. It is well attended by tourists, but even better attended by locals.
During the opening ceremonies, after the official greetings from the government leaders, people who attend the festival begin to march smartly before the viewing stands, and white camels transport their riders across the sands. Horsemen from different nations display their beautiful clothes and their fine horsemanship. One following another, groups of musicians and dancers from all over the Sahara take their turns to show off their wonderful traditional culture. Groups of men in blue and yellow play horns and beat drums as they dance in different designs. On their knees in the sand, a group of women in long dark dresses dance with their hair: their long, dark, shiny hair is thrown back and forth in the wind to the rhythm of their dance.
The local and visiting Italian dogs are anxious to run after hares. The crowd is on its feet for the camel races. Camels and riders run far into the distance, and then return to the finish Line in front of the cheering people.
Towards the evening, there comes the grand finale of the opening day, an extremely exciting horserace. All the riders run very fast on horseback. Some riders hang off the side of their saddles. Some even ride upside down----their legs
and feet straight up in the air----all at full speed. Others rush down the course together, men arm in arm, on different horses. On and on they went. So fast and so wonderful!
69. The Sahara Festival is a festival which________.
A. has a very long history in North Africa
B. is held in the same place on the same day
C. is attended mainly by the people in the Sahara
D. is celebrated mostly by travelers from different countries

A. musicians, dancers, horses and hares
B. camel riders, musicians, dogs and hares
C. horsemen, dancers, camels and dogs
D. musicians, officials, camels and horses
71. The underlined word "finale" in the fourth paragraph most probably means the
________of the opening day.
A. first part
B. middle
C. last part
D. whole
72. This passage mainly tells readers_______.
A. what happens on the opening day of the Sahara Festival
B. how people celebrate during the three-day Sahara Festival
C. what takes place at the closing ceremonies of the Sahara Festival
D. how animals race on the first and the last days of the Sahara Festival
D
From the moment that an animal is born it has to make decisions. It has to decide which of the things around it are for eating, and which are to be avoided; when to attack and when to run away. The animal is, in fact, playing a very dangerous game with its environment, a game in which it must make decision—a matter of life or death.
Animals’ability to act reasonably is believed to come partly from what we may call “genetic (遗传性的)learning”, which is different from the individual (个体的) learning that an animal does in the course of its own lifetime. Genetic learning is learning by a species—animals of the same kind—as a whole, and it is achieved by selection of those members of each generation that happen to act in the right way. However, the role of genetic learning depends upon how similar the future
environment is to the past. The more important individual experience is likely to be, the less important is genetic learning as a means of getting over the problems of the survival game. Because most animals live in ever changing environments from one generation to the next, it is not surprising to find that very few species indeed depend wholly upon genetic learning.
In the great majority of animals, their particular ways of acting in a new environment are a compound (复合体) of individual experience added to the action patterns animals are born with. That is why animals can survive.
73．The animal’s life will come to an end ____________ .
A．if the animal makes a wrong decision B．if the animal plays a dangerous game
C．when the animal attacks its enemy D．when the animal runs too slowly
74．Very few species depend entirely on genetic learning because ____________ .
A．each generation has its own way of learning
B．their environments change all the time
C．they can act reasonably on their own
D．it takes their whole life to learn
75．When the environment doesn’t change much, __________________.
A．animals cannot act in a right way
B．genetic learning is less important for animals
C．individual learning plays a less important role
D．animals cannot get over problems on their own
76．Animals’ living on generation after generation depends on _______________ .
A．their natural action pattern with their own experience
B．the lessons they have learnt during their lifetime
C．their experience in particular environments
D．the knowledge passed on by their parents

Some British and American people like to invite friends for a meal at home. You should not be upset if your English friends don’t invite you home. It doesn’t mean they don’t like you！
Dinner parties usually start between 7 p. m. and 8 p. m. and end at about 11 p. m. Ask your host what time you should arrive. It’s pol ite to bring flowers,
chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift.
