The kangaroo rat, on the other hand, gets all the water it needs from water that it produces when it __42__. However, most animals need to maintain a __43__ constant body temperature, and will die if it rises more than 5℃. Therefore, they need to find some way to stay away from the heat of the summer sun. Nor can many animals either store or produce water in their bodies, as the camel and kangaroo rat can. So they must find ways to keep their bodies from losing water because of the heat.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage your have just read.(A)Ralph and Ilene hadn’t been to a baseball game in about five years. They lived only 15 miles from the stadium, but the heavy traffic on game day made those 15 miles seem more like 60 miles. It took them about an hour to get to the stadium. Then, when the game was over, it took half an hour just to get out of the parking lot. Then the drive home was another hour. In other words, the traveling took longer than the game itself.One day, they decided to go to a game. They drove south on the 110 freeway. The 110 is California’s original freeway, full of twists and turns. Accidents occur daily. California drivers think yellow lights and sharp curves mean the same thing—speed up!The traffic was lighter than they expected. They arrived at the stadium 40 minutes before game time. They paid the $8 parking fee, parked and locked the car, and walked to the main entrance.Several individuals were standing around outside the stadium, looking casual but actually selling tickets secretly. They walked over to a man in a red cap.Ralph’s instincts were correct. The man had tickets for good seats at a fair price. Ralph gave the man $45 and thanked him.“Don’t thank me, my friend. Put your hands behind your back, please. You’re under arrest.”“What?” Ralph was astonished. “What’s going on?”“Buying scalped tickets(黄牛票) is illegal in Los Angeles, and we’ve got a new mayor who wants us to enforce all the laws that bring in money.” said the man. “Don’t worry. We’ll have you back here right after we book you. You can pay the $150 fine with your credit card. Havea nice day. Oh, and enjoy the game!”65. Why didn’t Ralph and Ilene go to the baseball game very often?A.Because they were not very interested in baseball.B.Because they lived far away from the stadium.C.Because it was often hard to find a place to park.D.Because it was time-consuming to go there.66. Why did many accidents occur on the 110 freeway according to the passage?A. Because the traffic lights were broken.B. Because traffic was heavy there.C. Because people always drove too fast.D. Because the road conditions were poor.67. By saying “Ralph’s instincts were co rrect,”the author means that ________.A. Ralph was lucky enough to get two tickets right before the game startedB. Ralph identified the right person who offered tickets at reasonable pricesC. Ralph was good at bargaining so that he got the tickets at a fair priceD. Ralph was wise enough to choose the best two tickets from the man68. What is the man in a red cap?A. A ticket dealer.B. Mayor of the city.C. A robber.D. A police officer.(B)It is generally accepted that every experience teaches the child something and the effects are cumulative. “Upbringing”is normally used to refer to the treatment and training of the child within the home. This is closely related to the treatment and training of the child in school, which is usually distinguished by the term “education”. In a society such as ours, both parents and teachers are responsible for the opportunities provided for the development of the child, so that upbringing and education are interdependent.The ideals and practices of child rearing vary from culture to culture. In general, the more rural the munity, the more uniform are the customs of child upbringing. In more technologically developed societies, the period of childhood and adolescence tends to be extended over a long time, resulting in more opportunity for education and greater variety in character development.Early upbringing in the home is naturally affected both by the cultural pattern of the munity and by the parents’ capabilities and their aimsand depends not only on upbringing and education but also on the innate(天生的) abilities of the child.Intelligent parents, however, realize that the particular setting of each family is unique, and there can be no rigid general rules.All parents have to solve the problems of freedom and discipline. The younger the child, the more readily the mother gives in to his demands to avoid disappointing him. She knows that if his energies are not given an outlet, her child’s continuing development may be warped(扭曲).A child must be allowed to enjoy this “messy” but tactile (触觉的) stage of discovery before he is ready to go on to the less physical pleasures of toys and books. Similarly, throughout life, each stage depends on the satisfactory pletion of the one before.69. The word “cumulative” in Line 2 most probably means .A. decisiveB. progressively greaterC. strongD. extremely beneficial70. It can be seen from the passage that .A. upbringing and education are mutually plementaryB. by no means does the technological factor affect the developmentof children’s characterC. there are advisable rules for parents to go by in bringing up their childrenD. the cultural pattern is the single factor that affects a child’s upbringing in the home71. A child’s development might well be badly affected if .A. he were brought up in a happy environmentB. his mother often gave in to his demandsC. his energies were freely given an outletD. he had to follow unusually strict rules.72. As it is presented in the passage, rather than a smooth progressionthe development of the human character and personality is a series of .A. actsB. pletionsC. functionsD. stagesSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words.The West began to take more notice of the East. The fifth volume ofan enormous work re-assessing (再评价) the Chinese contribution to science and technology is to be published next year. The first volume, which was published twenty years ago, set the tone for the whole work. In it, evidence was given to show that many inventions which, until then, western historians had claimed for Europe, were made first in China. The attempt to rewrite the intellectual history of the world was not received without protest by some respectable historians. However, the evidence that has been presented so far in the first four volumes has persuaded many historians who were doubtful at first. China’s invention of paper, printing, the magnetic pass and gunpowder has never been quarreled, but this new history has added advanced bridge design, mechanical clocks, paddle boats and many other inventions to the list.In the four volumes published so far no attempt has been made to explain why China has not kept up with the West in science and technology in modern times. It is probable that the answer is to be found in the social and economic history of China, where an unchanged society under a relatively kind regime（政治制度）of upper classes contrasts with the potentially revolutionary and energetic society of the West at the end of the Middle Ages. In recent years, the Chinese government has been making every effort to catch up with the West again, and there is little doubt that the gap is being reduced year by year. But will China avoid the West’s mistakes? (Note: Answer the questions or plete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)73. So far, _________________volumes have been published.74. When was the first volume published?75. The subject of this five-volume work is_______________________________________.76. According to the passage, what are the probable reasons for China notkeeping up with the west?IV.
