This may have something to do with the 380 known chemicals found in it. The problem is that many of these chemicals appear in other types of food too. So, it’s difficult to know why the ones in chocolate make us feel g ood. But we aren’t all lost. Adam Drewnowski at the University of Michigan found that chocolate makes the human brain produce natural opiates, called opioids(鸦片). These can stop pain and make us feel good.Others think that we feel good after eating chocolate because of a chemical called anandamide. This occurs naturally in the brain and seems to give us a feeling of happiness. Normally, our levels of anandamide are very low and our body uses it quickly. But two scientists, Emmanuelle di Tomaso of Harvard University and Daniele Piomelli of the University of California believe that the anandamide in chcocolate raises levels of the chemical in our brain. And other substances in chocolate slow down the speed at which we use it. So, chocolate helps us feel happier for longer! Great!But which chocolate is the best? Well, for a start, there’s more anandamide in dark chocolate than milk chocolate. So, you need to buy some dark chocolate. Then, you should follow these five tips from connoisseur chocolate makers Ghirardelli. They say that when choosing chocolate, you need to use all five senses:1.Sight: good chocolate has a shine to it.2.Smell: rub the chocolate with your finger to release the aroma. It should have a deepchocolate smell.3.Sound: when you break a piece of chocolate it should snap crisply, creating a soundsimilar to that of a thin piece of wood being broken.4.Touch: the chocolate should melt easily in your mouth becoming a thick liquid.5.Taste: good chocolate should not taste too sweet or too bitter.58. Why does the author mention opioids in Paragraph 2?A. To prove chocolate contains the same chemicals as opioids.B. To show the sharp contrast between chocolate and opioids.C. To suggest that chocolate is as highly addictive as opioids.D. To help explain the reason why chocolate brings pleasure.59. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to _______.A. anandamideB. chocolateC. opiateD. Brain60. Which of the following best suits “perfect chocolate” according to cho colate makers?A. Milk chocolate that produces a dull sound when broken.B. Milk chocolate that has shiny appearance and bitter taste.C. Dark chocolate that is easy to melt and of moderate taste.D. Dark chocolate that gives off a sweet and deep fragrance.CLandscapes are not only the setting for history; they are also a major ssource of our sense of history and identity. Read them right, and historical landscapes can be more informative than any other kind of source. This is even more the case with sacred landscapes, which were reflection of our ancestors’ beliefs about their relation to the cosmos and can still today seem to hold a spiritual influence.Over the years, I’ve had the good fortune to have spent tim e in many historical landscapes, hoping to picture something of the spirits of the people who shaped them over the centuries. I still remember years ago walking along the Inca sacred lines around Cuso, Peru. In this ancient landscape, old sites that once belonged to Incan royals had become torn Spanish mansions. Or many years ago, before the Gulf Wars, I took a journey through south Iraq, the heart land of civilization, where the desert is still crossed by dried-up riverbeds of the Euphrates and canals that once sustained the world’s first cities.Britain also has its own magical ancient landscapes. From the Mesolithic to the Bronze andIron Ages, rich layers of the past are still present in the landscape surrounding Stonehenge, even as traffic rushes down the A303. It is the A303 that is the problem. As the main road to the south west from the home counties, the road runs right past Stonehenge. One of humanity’s most famous monuments, Stonehenge is an archaeological landscape without parallel in Europe, and perhaps the world. The first circle at Stonehenge was made 5,000 years ago, and the great stone circle itself in a round 2,500 BC ----the age of the pyramids! And the mysteries of this amazing monument and the complex prehistoric societies that produced it are by no means exhausted, as new discoveries continue to show.All the more worrying to me then, this unique landscape is currently at the centre of a projected plan by Highways England, which aims to relieve congestion on the A303 by creating a four-lane road with a 1.8-mile tunnel, and an expressway interchange 1.5 miles to the west. While the National Trust and English Heritage have offered qualified support for the plan, UNESCO has expressed its opposition. Meanwhile, the Stonehenge Alliance, a group of archaeologists and environmental campaigners, says the plan is based on inadequate and obsolete information. In the end, the argument is about the totality of an ancient landscape, and that includes the ancient astronomical alignment that was purposefully chosen by our ancestors, and that will, in my view, be werecked by the xpressway interchange. Time perhaps for a rethink in the name of future generations?61. What can historical landscapes offer us?A. Details of ancient lifestyle.B. Sacred writingsC. Rich historical informationD. Breathtaking sights.62. What did the author want to explore when touring historical landscapes?A. Different archcitecture.B. His sense of belonging.C. The rise of ancient citiesD. The spirits of ancestors.63. Which of the following is True about Stonehenge?A. The first stone circle has a longer history than the pyramids.B. New discoveries have solved the mysteries of the monument.C. The ancient monument must have been the heart land of civilizaiton.D. The landscape surrounding Stonehenge has rich layers of the present.64. What is the author’s attitude towards the projected plan by Highways England?A. He is for it because it will benefit the future generations.B. He keeps cool but believes a better solution could be adopted.C. It should be stopped because it will destroy the totality of the monument.D. It is rather practical especially with qualified support from the government.D.The news one day reached Gabriel that Bathsheba had left the neighborhood. Her abrupt departure is more emphatic than her verbal refusal of his offer. It may have been observed that there is no regular path for getting out of love as there is for getting in. All that Gabriel learnt of Bathsheba’s movements was done indirectly. It appeared that she had gone to a place called Weatherbury, which, whether as a visitor or permanently, he could not discover.Gabriel had two dogs. George, the elder, had originally belonged to a shepherd (牧羊人) of inferior morals and dreadful temper. Long experience had so precisely taught the animal the difference between different orders. Though old, he was clever and trustworthy still. The youngdog, George’s son, might possibly have been the image of his mother, for there was not much resemblance between him and George. He was learning the sheep-keeping business. So earnest and yet so wrongheaded was this young dog that if sent behind he did it so thoroughly that he would have chased them across the whole country with the greatest pleasure if not called off.One night, when Gabriel had returned to his house, he called as usual to the dogs, previously shutting them up in the outhouse till next morning. Only one responded----old George; the other could not be found. ①Gabriel then concluded that the young one had not finished his meal, and he went indoors to the luxxury of a bed.It was a still and wet night. Just before dawn he was woken by the abnormal reverberation of familiar music. To the shepherd, the note of the sheep-bell is beating with unusual violence and rapidity. The experienced ear of Gabriel knew the sound was caused by the running of the flock with great speed. ②He jumped out of bed and ascended the hill. These two hundred ewes( female sheep) seemed to have absolutely vanished from the hill. Gabriel called at the top of his voice:‘Ovey, ovey, ovey!’He called again: the valleys and furthest hills resounded but no sheep. He passed through the trees and along the ridge of the hill. ③He advanced: at one point the rails were broken through, and there he saw the footprints of his ewes. The dog came up, licked his hand, and made signs implying that he expected some great reward. Gabriel looked over the side of the mountain. The ewes lay dead----a pile of two hundred dead bodies.As far as could be learnt, it appeared that the poor young dog, still under the impression that since he was kept for funning after sheep, the more he ran after them the better, had at the end of his meal off the dead lamb, which may have given him additional energy and spirits, collected all the ewes into a corner and driven the timid creatures through the hedge, breaking down a portion of the rotten railing. ④Gabriel was an intensely humane man; his first feeling now was one of pity for the untimely fate of these gentle ewes and their unborn lambs. It was a sxecond to remember another stage of the matter. All the savings had been gone at a blow; his hopes of being an independent farmer were laid low. Gabriel’s energies, patience, and industry had been so severely taxed during the years of his life, to reach his present stage of progress, that no more seemed to be left in him. He leant down upon a rail, covered his face with his hands and uttered in thankfulness: “Thank God I am not married: what would she have done in the poverty now coming upon me!”Gabriel found that the value of remaining lambs, plant, and implements which were really his own would be about sufficient to pay his debts, leaving himself a free man with the clothes he stood up in, and nothing more. Two months later, Gabriel was discovered at the hiring fair in Casterbridge. Though he was not hired, he earned a few pennies at the hiring fair and learned that another fair would be held at Shottsford, 10 miles beyong Weatherbury.65. How did Gabriel feel after Bathsheba’s departure?A. He was consumed with anger.B. He quickly adapted and moved on .C. He decided to stick to his first love.D. He was at a loss to grasp the reasons.66. What can we learn about the young dog?A. He was more than capable of doing a shepherd dog’s duty.B. He was slow in responding to Gabriel’s different orders.C. He bore a striking resemblance to the old dog George.D. He belonged to those of terrible temper and behavior.67. Where should the sentence “ On the extreme summit, he saw the younger dog standing against the sky----dark and motionless.” Be put in the passage?A.①B. ②C. ③D. ④68. Two hundred ewes died mainly due to ______.A. Gabriel’s carelessness.B. the absence of old GeorgeC. the young dog’s wrong impressionD. the unpleasant weather conditions69. Why did Gabriel utter such words in thankfulness after such a blow to him?A. He eas greatly relieved to know that no villager got hurt in the disaster.B. He felt lucky that he oculd pay off his debts with the remaining things on the farm.C. He was convinced that with patience and industry such a situation would improve.D. He had such a considerate and sympathetic nature that he didn’t want ot bother others.70. What might happen in the following paragraphs?A. Gabriel decided to see Bathsheba on his way to Shottsford.B. Gabriel found a good job in Casterbridge and succeeded again.C. The young dog was abandoned for his failure ot perform his duty.D. Good neighbors gave Gabriel a hand and restored the rotten railing.第四部分任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

As the name suggests, this type of memory stores the scenes of our life.Another type of memory that can also be suddenly remembered is semantic memory. Our semantic memory is the storehouse of our knowledge, containing all the facts we know.Usually, the recall of episodic and semantic memories has easily identifiable triggers(诱因) in our context. Context includes our physical surroundings as well as the aspects of our mental state, such as thoughts and feelings. For example, you're eating a dish at a restaurant, and its smell reminds you of a similar dish your mom used to make. This is episodic memory. When someone says the word "Oscar", the name of the movie that won the Oscar recently flashes in your mind. That belongs to semantic memory.These memories had obvious triggers in our context, but sometimes, the memories that flash in our minds have no identifiable triggers. They seem to flash across our minds out of nowhere; therefore, they've been called mind-pops(闪念) .Mind-pops shouldn't be confused with insight, which is the sudden popping up of a potential solution to a complex problem in the mind. Thus, mind-pops are semantic or autobiographical memories that suddenly flash in our minds without an easily identifiable trigger.Mind-pops may comprise any piece of information, be it an image, a sound, or a word. They're often experienced by people when they're engaged in mundane tasks like mopping the floor or brushing teeth. Such ordinary and unexciting routines tend to inspire something in our mind. For example, you're reading a book, and suddenly, the image of your school corridor pops into your mind for no reason. What you were reading or thinking at the time had no connection to your school.I do experience mind-pops from time to time. But when I tried to look for cues in my context that may have triggered my mind-pops, I would fail. Maybe such mind-pops are completely random.8．Which of the following might be episodic memory?A．You predict a heavy rain is on the way.B．A good idea flashes into your mind suddenly.C．A song reminds you of your middle school graduation.D．You think of a round shape when hearing the word "circle".9．What is a feature of mind-pops?A．They have obvious triggers. B．They come out without warning.C．They appear in the form of images. D．They often bring long-lasting memories.10．What does the underlined word " mundane" in paragraph 6 probably mean？A．Careful. B．Dull. C．Necessary. D．Challenging.11．What is the aim of this passage?A．To explore human inner thoughts.B．To point out the memory formation.C．To distinguish different memory scenes.D．To explain some similar memory phenomena.DA new study published in the journal Science Advances finds that AI enhances creativity by boosting the novelty of story ideas as well as the "usefulness" of stories—their ability to engage the target audience and potential for publication. It finds that AI "professionalizes" stories, making them more enjoyable, more likely to have plot twists, better written and less boring.In a study, 300 participants were tasked with writing a short, eight-sentence "micro story" for a target audience of young adults. They were divided into three groups: one group was allowed no AI help, a second group could use ChatGPT to provide a single three-sentence starting idea, and writers in the third group could choose from up to five AI-generated ideas for their inspiration.They then asked 600 people to judge how good the stories were, assessing them for novelty and "usefulness". They found that writers with the most access to AI experienced the greatest gains to their creativity, their stories scoring 8.1% higher for novelty and 9% higher for novelty compared with stories written without AI. Writers who used up to five AI-generated ideas also scored higher for emotional characteristics, producing stories that were better written, more enjoyable, less boring and funnier.The researchers evaluated the writers' creativity using a Divergent Association Task( DA T) and found that more creative writers—those with the highest DAT score s—benefitted least from generative AI ideas.Less creative writers conversely saw a greater increase in creativity: access to five AI ideas improved novelty by 10.7% and usefulness by 11.5% compared with those who used no AI ideas. Their stories were judged to be up to 26.6% better written, up to 22.6% more enjoyable and up to 15.2% less boring.Anil Doshi, Assistant Professor at the UCL School of Management, said, “While these results point to an increase individual creativity, there is risk of losing collective novelty. If the publishing industry were to use more generative AI-inspired stories, our findings suggest that the stories would become less unique and more similar to each other. That is not encouraged in writing. ”12．What were some participants assigned to do in the study?A．Help targeted young writers.B．Improve some less creative works.C．Create a mini story for young men.D．Use AI to judge the quality of stories.13．Who benefitted most from the AI-assisted writing in the study?A．Those using AI most. B．Those of most creativity.C．Those with the help of ChatGPT. D．Those writing the most.14．What might be Anil Doshi's attitude toward the AI-assisted writing?A．Objective. B．Optimistic. C．Indifferent. D．Dismissive.15．What can be the best title for the passage?A．AI Is Being Used to Create Novel Stories Nowadays.B．AI Is Catching on But Threatening the Future of Writers.C．AI Can Boost Creativity in Writing But Has Its Disadvantages.D．AI Helps Improve Writing Skills But Is Limited to Young Writers.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

高三英语上学期期中模拟卷（带答案）第I卷(选择题)一、阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分，共30分)AHis first successful fight was for the equal rights of black people in South Africa. Then, as the first black president, he fought to unite the country and organize the government. Now Nelson Mandela has set his sights on a new enemy, AIDS.On March 19 the former president, hosted his second AIDS awareness concert. He warned that 25 million people in Africa were already infected with the fatal disease.Mandela was born in a small village in South Africa in 1918. He was adopted by the chief of his tribe and could have been a chief himself and lived a happy country life.But he refused to be a chief when his people lived under racial discrimination(歧视). He decided to fight for equal rights for all the people in South Africa. Before 1990, under the country’s Racial Segregation Law, colored people and white people lived separately. Black people were treated unfairly even when taking a bus. Blacks had to stand at the back of the bus to make room for white people even when there were only a few of them on board.For his opposition to the system, Mandela was arrested and spent 27years in prison. He was freed in 1990 and became the president of the country after the first election was held in which everyone could vote. Mandela was not only a political fighter who attacked with speeches. He was also a trained boxer and fought in the ring when he was young. “Although I did not enjoy the violence of boxing, I was interested in how one moved one’s body to protect oneself, how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat，”he wrote in his autobiography.As a skillful fighter, he chose music as his weapon against AIDS. He hopes to win another victory against AIDS.1.When was Mandela arrested?A.In 1963.B.In 1990.C.When he refused to be a chief.D.When he became the president.2.Nelson Mandela succeeded in doing the following EXCEPT ________.A.winning the equal rights for the black people in South AfricaB.uniting South Africaanizing a government in South AfricaD.controlling the spread of AIDS3.Which of the following statements can best describe the life of Nelson Mandela?A.Struggle is his life.B.Sports make his fame.C.Fight for equal rights.D.A great fighter against the government.BMany people have tried to simplify (简化) the spelling of English words. Unlike other languages, English sometimes spells the same sounds in very different ways. For example, there is “light” but “white”, “loan” but “phone”, and there are at least seven d ifferent ways of pronouncing “ough”: “though”, “through”, “bough”, “ cough”, “enough”, “ought” and “thorough”.The American President Theodore Roosevelt almost succeeded in simplifying English spelling. In 1906, Andrew Carnegie started the Simplified Spelling Board. He was one of the richest men in the United States of America. The board’s plan was to make the spelling of words nearer to the way they sound. For example, the word “though” would be spelt “tho” and “through” would become “thru”. Other people on the board were Melvil Dewey, the head of the New York libraries, and Professor Brander Matthews of Columbia University. They explained their idea to President Roosevelt, who thought that it was indeed logical. He immediately asked the government printer to use simplified spelling in all government letters.But people didn’t like the change, even if it made life easier. So the newsimpler spelling was not popular. More importantly, when the American politicians (政客) discussed the plan, they did not like it either. Because Roosevelt did not want to have any problems with the politicians, he changed his mind and told the printer to go back to the old way of spelling.Since then no one in any government has dared to simplify English spelling. However, people do simplify some words, mainly in advertisements. For example, we often see “tonite” instead of “tonight” and “thru” instead of “through”.4.Many people have tried to simplify English spelling because________.A. English words are too long to rememberB. there are many mistakes in English wordsC. lots of words are spelt in many different waysD. sometimes the same sounds have different spellings.5.Who is NOT a member of the Simplified Spelling Board?A. Andrew Carnegie.B. Melvil Dewey.C. Theodore Roosevelt.D. Brander Matthews.6.What was Theodore Roosevelt’s attitude towards simplified spelling?A. WorriedB. SupportiveC. UncertainD. Doubtful7.According to the passage, simplified spelling________.A. was welcomed by the US politiciansB. changed the way the words soundC. has been used widely for over a centuryD. was first used in US government letters.CA romantic message-in-a-bottle discovered by a mother and daughter at a Scottish beach has sparked(触发) a mystery about whether it could have travelled 5,000 miles across the seas from China.Nicola MacFarlane, 41, and daughter Lucy, four, from Portobello, near Edinburgh, were looking for driftwood(浮木)on Portobello Beach when they came across an old glass bottle containing a note inside written in Mandarin. Now the family are trying to work out if the letter has managed the extraordinary journey across the Philippine Sea, into the Indian Ocean and through both the South Atlantic and the North Atlantic Ocean’s before washing up on the shores of Great Britain. It was written on Chinese Valentine’s Day or Qixi Festival as it is more traditionally known, lunar July 7, 2012, so it sent off as recently as six days ago because it followed the modern calendar, which celebrated the occasion on August 23. Nicola was still excited to read about the Chinese love story after having it translated.“I really do hope that it is from China but even it is from nearer to home, it’s still a lovely gesture and an inspiring find. It’s a love story regardlessof where it came from. Nicola, who runs a beach art business in Portobello, added, “I’m always at the beach looking for bits of driftwood but I’ve never come across anything like this before.

It was created in 1923 by Briton Hadden and Henry Luce, making it the first weekly news magazine in the US. Hadden was considered carefree, liked to tease Luce and saw TIME as important but also fun. That accounted for its heavy coverage of celebrities (including politicians), the entertainment industry, and pop culture—criticized as too light for serious news.It tells the news through people, and for many decades, the magazine’s cover depicted a single person. On Hadden’s death in 1929, Luce became the most important man at TIME and a major figure in the history of 20th-century media.TIME is also known for its signature red border, first introduced in 1927. It has only changed four times since then. The issue released shortly afterthe September 11 attacks on the United States featured a black border to symbolize mourning. However, this edition was a special “extra” edition published quickly for the breaking news of the event; the next regularly scheduled issue contained the red border. Additionally, the April 28, 2008 Earth Day issue, dedicated to environmental issues, contained a green border. The next change in border was in the September 19, 2011 issue, commemorating the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks with a metallic silver border. The most recent change (again with a silver border) was in the December 31, 2012 issue, noting Barack Obama’s selection as Man of the Year.TIME has a division magazine, TIME FOR KIDS (TFK), which is especially published for children and is mainly distributed in classrooms. TFK contains some national news, a “Cartoon of the Week”, and a variety of articles concerning popular culture that the younger U.S. citizens are interested in. All the stories in TFK are written by young reporters.In some advertising campaigns, the magazine has suggested that the letters TIME stand for “The International Magazine of Events”.12.TIME has a history of _______.A. about 50 yearsB. about 70 yearsC. about 90 yearsD. about 150 years13.Why did some people dislike TIME in the beginning?A. It had kept its cover the same since the 1920s.B. It didn’t have a serious tone for important events.C. It didn’t report important events quickly enough.D. Henry Luce was in charge of the magazine for too long.14.Why did TIME change its red border for the first time?A. To remember the 10th anniversary of an attack.B. To remind readers to protect the environment.C. To show great sadness about the deaths.D. To call on readers to vote for Obama.15.What do we know about TFK?A. It has young reporters writing articles.B. It has a division magazine called TIME.C. It is designed for kids and teachers.D. It mainly contains popular culture.二、从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的选项。

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)If you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment from your computer major classmates, you may have had the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech “information Age” demands people who are flexible and who have good communication skills.There are many social science majors in large companies who fill important positions. For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors had achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studiesshow that social science majors are most suited for change, which is the leading feature of the kind of high speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in.Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry-level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as “very important” by 92% of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions.Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmat es to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don’t regret their choice of study.65. By saying that “you may have had the last laugh” in the first paragraph, the author means that you may have _____________________________________.A. shared the jokes with computer majorsB. earned as much as computer majorsC. found jobs more easily than computer majorsD. stopped joking about computer majors66. Compared with graduates of other subjects, social science graduates _________.A. are ready to change when situations changeB. are better able to deal with difficultiesC. are equally good at computer skillsD. are likely to give others pressure67. The word “land” in the last paragraph probably means ___________________.A. keep for some timeB. successfully getC. immediately startD. lose regretfully68. According to the text, what has made it easy for social science graduates to find jobs?A. Willingness to take low-paid jobs.B. Readiness to gain high-tech knowledge.C. Skills in experiencing themselves.D. Part-time work experience.(B)That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only aweek ago, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. V ery few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man wit h an amused look in his eye. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 A.M. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.69. How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A. Cold and sickB. Fortunate and helpfulC. Satisfied and cheerfulD. Disappointed and helpless70. From the first paragraph, we learn that the writer was busy _________________.A. solving her problem at the bankB. taking part in various city activitiesC. learning acting in an evening schoolD. preparing for the first night show71. On her way home the writer ___________________________.A. lost her wallet unknowinglyB. was stopped by a garbage truck driverC. was robbed of her wallet by an armed manD. found some homeless people following her72. From the passage, we can infer that the writer __________________________.A. would stop working at nightB. would stay on in San FranciscoC. would make friends with cleanersD. would give up her job at the bank(C)In 1993, the Metropolitan Museum of Art reluctantly handed over 363 pieces of gold, silver, precious stones, painting, and sculptures back to Turkey after a court case. Following increasing calls for the return of artistic objects that were removed decades or centuries ago, some of the world’s leading museums have signed a declaration that they will not hand back the ancient artifacts to their countries of origin. They say people all over the world have only been able to fully appreciate ancient civilizations because these museums have provided access to these artistic objects. The ancient civilizations would not be so deeply admired today if these ancient artifacts were not so widely available to an international public in major museums throughout Europe and America. For example, Egyptian culture would not have become so well-known if the museums had not put Egyptian mummies on show.The British Museum has not signed the declaration, but says it fully supports it. Over the recent years, it has faced growing pressure to hand back the Elgin Marbles, sculptures taken from the Parthenon in Athens, Greece, in the 19th century. But the British Museum has said that the Museum i s the best possible place for them. “They must remain here if the museum is to continue to achieve its aim, which is to show the world to the world,” said the director of the museum.73. What reason do the major museums provide for not handing back the ancient objects?A. Only in the leading museums can the objects be fully appreciated by the world.B. It is better for those objects to remain at a certain place than to be moved around.C. They need those well-known ancient objects to attract people from all over the world.D. Ancient civilizations can only be admired if they are removed from their home countries.74. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the “countries of origin” inthe article?A.TurkeyB. BritainC. EgyptD. Greece75. What does “the world” mean in “show the world to the world”?A. The global village.B. The leading museums.C. The ancient civilizations.D. The international public.(D)Imagine that the genome(基因组) is a book. The book consists of 23 chapters with thousands of stories made up of paragraphs, words and letters on different levels. There are one billion words in the book, which makes it longer than 5,000 volumes the size of this book, or as long as 800 Bibles. If I read the genome out to you at the rate of one word per second for eight hours a day, it would take me a century. If I wrote out the human genome, one letter per millimeter, my text would be as long as the River Danube. This is an enormous document, a huge volume, a cook book of great length, and it all fits inside the extremely small nucleus of a tiny cell that fits easily upon the head of a pin.The idea of the genome as a book is not, strictly speaking, even a metaphor(比喻). It is true to a great extent. A book is a piece of digital information, written in one-directional form and defined by a code that translates a small alphabet of signs into a large dictionary of meanings through the order of their groupings. So is a genome. The only complication is that all English books read from left to right, while some parts of the genome read from left to right, and some from right to left, though never both at the same time.While English books are written in words of different lengths using twenty-six letters, genomes are written entirely in three-letter words, using only four letters. And instead of being written on flat pages, they are written on long chains of DNA molecules(分子). The genome is a very clever book, because in the right conditions it can both photocopy itself and read itself.76. How do human genomes read according to the passage?A. Only from left to right.B. Only from right to left.C. From both directions at the same time.D. From one direction at a time.77. We can learn from the passage that the human genome _____________________.A. is as long as the River DanubeB. can be easily placed on the head of a pinC. is coded with an alphabet of four lettersD. is smart enough to read and take photos of itself78. It can be concluded that the passage is mainly written for _________________.A. specialists in the fieldB. general readersC. natural scientistsD. readers with academic background79. The real purpose of the author’s comparison of the genome to a book is ________.A. to focus on the difference between the twoB. to lay emphasis on the similarities between the twoC. to simplify the concept of the human genomeD. to give an exact description of the human genomeSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.80. ________________________________________________.Every living thing has what scientists call a biological clock that controls behavior. The biological clock tells plants when to form flowers and when the flowers should open. It tells insects when to leave the protective cocoon and fly away, and it tells animals and human beings when to eat, sleep and wake.81. ________________________________________________.Events outside the plant and animal affect the actions of some biological clocks. Scientists recently found, for example, that a tiny animal changes the color of its fur because of the number of hours of daylight. In the short days of winter, its fur becomes white. The fur becomes gray brown in color in the longer hours of daylight in summer.82. ________________________________________________.Inner signals control other biological clocks. German scientists found that some kind of internal clock seems to order birds to begin their long migration flights twice each year. Birdsprevented from flying become restless when it is time for the trip, but they become calm again when the time of the flight has ended.83. ________________________________________________.Scientists say they are beginning to learn which parts of the brain contain biological clock. An American researcher, Martin Moorhead, said a small group of cells near the front of the brain seems to control the timing of some of our actions. These cells tell a person when to awaken, when to sleep and when to seek food. Scientists say there probably are other biological clock cells that control other body activities.84. ________________________________________________.Dr. Moorhead is studying how our biological clocks affect the way we do our work. For example, most of us have great difficulty if we often change to different work hours. It can take many days for a human body to accept the major change in work hours. Dr. Moorhead said industrial officials should have a better understanding of biological clocks and how they affect workers. He said such understanding could cut sickness and accidents at work and would help increase a factory’s production.第II卷(共45分)TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.从他的话来判断，我觉得他已经把你提出的建议考虑进去了。
