From time to time researchers have reported 2 of such a link. One such report now comes from the University of California at San Diego School of Medicine.

They often lose5 in everything. They seem very sad. They have trouble6 . And they generally lose their7 to eat.

We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from 1 he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us 2 an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years 3 , was shorter than he is today. Now, on the average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time, so we are sure that man will continue to grow taller.Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 10% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on, 4 , we shall have to use our brains more and more—and 5 we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a 6 change to the head; in particular the forehead will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we 7 to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to growweaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more 8 , because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether because it does not serve a useful purpose 9 . In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature 10 ! This may well be true.B1.

When you first start off your college career, you are unrestrained to explore your passions and interests. Most colleges do not require you to declare a major until the end of your sophomore year. This allows you two whole years of exploration of various interests and acquiring a better understanding of yourself. Some individuals step into school knowing exactly what they want to major in and stick with it for all four years. Other more free-spirited folks don’t really have a clue as they change majors multiple times until they settle on their true interests.What you major in while in college doesn’t necessarily dictate the rest of your life. Often, what you major in during college has nothing to do with what you end up doing for the rest of your life. For example, the father of a close friend of mine graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Communications. Later on though, he decided to go to medical school and now works as a dermatologist. In America, nothing is ever set in stone. College is simply a guideline for your strengths and interests and sets a path for the real society.I personally declared as a Biological Sciences major for my first year of college. When I applied to various universities, I was pretty certain that I wanted to become a doctor. However, after this first year, I realized that science might not be my passion after all. I am now considering a career in business and economics, which is quite a far reach from my original biology field. I am extremely grateful for this first year majoring in Biology, even though I am now moving into a field completely different from where I started. This first year helped me realize what I really wanted for myself and gave me a better understanding of who I am.A1. Most colleges do not require students to declare a major until they finish_______ in college.A. the first two yearsB. the first yearC. choosing among various majorsD. exploring their passionsC2. When those more free-spirited folks change majors for several times, they ________ .A. are well informedB. are rarely informedC. are given cluesD. know what to doB3. What does ―nothing is ever set in stone‖ mean?A. Nothing is ever settled.B. Nothing is fixed in stone.C. Nothing is like stone.D. Nothing is placed in stone.C4. Why does the author tell the story of his friend’s father?A. He wants to convince the readers that Communications is not a good major for h is friend’s father.B. He wants to convince the readers that Communications is not as good as Biology.C. He wants to illustrate the fact that a student’s major in college doesn’t control the rest of his life.D. He wants to illustrate the fact that a college student should not end up doing nothing for the rest of hislife.C5. Why does the author feel grateful for the first college year?A. Because he majored in Biology.B. Because he changed his major after the first year.C. Because he realized what he really wanted for himself.D. Because he realized that he should choose a career in business and economics.Passage 2China has changed enormously over the last 20 years. Its economy has been growing at 10% a year, and it’s on track to be the world’s lar gest economy soon. As a result, more and more western companies want to do business in China. But how easy is it for a westerner to do business there? Here are some tips.Take your time. In the west, business is ruled by deadlines. Chinese business people seem to act slowly。

The tired mind gathers new energy; the memory improves; and annoyance and problems are seen correctly. Some adults require little sleep, others need eight to ten hours in every twenty-four. Infants sleep sixteen to eighteen hours daily, the amount gradually decreasing as they grow older. Young students may need twelve hours; university students may need ten.班级学号姓名----------------------------------------装-----------------------------订----------------------------------------线-------------------------------------------- 装订线以内不准作任何标记A worker with a physically demanding job may also need ten, whereas an executive working under great pressure may manage on six to eight. Many famous people are well known to have required little sleep. Napoleon Bonaparte, Thomas Edison, and Charles Darwin apparently averaged only four to six hours a night.Investigators have tried to find out how long a person can go without sleep. Several people have reached more than 115 hours -- nearly five days. Whatever the limit, it is absolute. Animals kept awake for from five to eight days have died of exhaustion. The limit for human beings is probably about a week.1. It is implied in the passage that _______.A) a light sleep is as refreshing as a deep one B) memory is greatly improved during sleepC) famous people need less sleep than ordinary peopleD) sleep is important for good mental and physical health2. It can be concluded from the passage that the amount of sleep required ________.A) depends on the bed one sleeps in B) varies greatly from one individual to anotherC) can be predicted from the type of job one hasD) is closely related to the amount of pressure one suffers3.

BArtificial flowers are used for scientific as well as decorative purposes. They are made from a variety of materials, such as wax and glass, so skillfully that they can scarcely be distinguished from natural flowers. In making such models, hard work and artistry (艺术才能) are called for, as well as thorough knowledge of plant structures. The collection of glass flowers in the Botanical Museum of Harvard University is the most famous in North America and is widely known throughout the scientific world. In all, there are several thousand models in colored glass, the work of two artist-naturalists. Leopold Blaschka and his son Rudolph.The intention was to have the collection represent at least one member of each flower family native to the United States. Although it was never completed, it contains more than seven hundred species representing 164 families of flowering plants, a group of第 6 页共12 页第 7 页共 12 页fruits showing the effect of fungus diseases, and thousands of flower plants and magnified details. Every detail of these is accurately reproduced in color and structure. The models are kept in locked cases as they too valuable and weak for classroom use. 1.

In 1889, Sullivan defeated Jade Kilrain with his bare fists in another championship fight, winning twenty thousand dollars and a diamond prize medal. His admirers talked of runninghim for the next governor, but he traveled to Australia for a boxing tour instead, coming back only to lose his title in a twenty-one-round match with a young Californian named James J. Corbett.“Gentleman James” victory in this match marked a t urning point, for it showed scientific boxing was over strength. But Corbett’s title ended in 1897, when another boxer, Bob Fitzsimmons, in less than three seconds, achieved his feats and then Fitzsimmons knocked out an Irishman, won the heavyweight championship of the world, and invented the terrible “solar plexus punch.”1.

A 2. D 3.D 4.B 5. DIt is inescapable fact that to most people there comes a time when failing powers of mind第8 页共12 页from children, other relatives, or occasionally friends. When an old person or old couple gives up an independent home and becomes part of another household it does not mean that all the problems of old age are automatically solved; the problems are different, not so pressing perhaps, and their solution lies more with the younger relatives than with the older people themselves.Caring for aged requires skills as well as goodwill. Much advice is now available for those caring for young children and babies, and there are numerous books to help mothers in bringing up their families, but as far as I know little has been written about the day-to-day care of old people. Fortunately the first essentials, sympathy and affection, are very often to be found, and will carry relatives, friends and old people a long way, but not the whole way, without these two virtues the work of caring for the old can be onerous (繁重) and unrewarding.Probably the first thing for anyone to learn who had old people to care for is the need to allow them the freedom of action, to realize that their personality is still individual and that social significance is essential to happiness. It is all too easy to take the attitude that the old are past doing anything and to encourage resting and doing nothing. This is mistaken kindness, though it may be an easy way of satisfying the conscience compared with the more exacting way of continual encouragement to be active, to go out, to find worthwhile occupation. The latter course, however, is much more likely to promote happiness.1.T o solve the problems of the old __________.A、younger relatives should play a key roleB、old people should live with youngerrelativesC、old people should live in an independent homeD、younger relatives should visit the old occasionally2.A dvice about bringing up families is mentioned in the second paragraph to show that__________.A)it is the first essential to care for the oldB)it is easier to care for the young than the oldC)goodwill and skill are required in caring for the oldD)there are not enough suggestions about caring for the old3.W hich of the following statements will the author probably agree with?A)It is mistaken kindness to encourage the old to look for a job.B)Young people are more concerned with social significance than the old.C)With failing powers of mind or body, the old should be encouraged to rest.D)Younger relatives often, but not always feel sympathy and affection for the old.4.W hich of the following is closest in meaning to the word “pressing” (Para.1)?A) independent B) urgent C) automatic D) essential5.W hat is the best title for the passage?A) Personalities of the Old B) Problems of the OldC) Housing of the Old D) Caring for the OldExplaining his approach to education, Joe Gauld says the conventional education system cannot be ___1___. He notes “no amount of change” with the horse and carriage “will produce an automobile”. The Hyde School assumes “every human being has a unique potential” that is based on character, not intelligence or wealth. Conscience and hard work are valued. Success is ___2___by growth, not academic achievement. Students are ___3___to take responsibility for each other. To avoid the controversy of other character programs used in US schools, Gauld says the concept of doing your best has nothing to do with forcing the students to accept a particular set of ___4___ or religious values.Commitment among parents is a key ___5___ in the Hyde mixture. For the students to gain admission, parents also must agree to accept and demonstrate the school’s philosophies and outlook.

Since frustration seems to be a negative feeling, some people may be tempted to think that frustration is bad for people. They believe that constant frustration may cause serious mental problems. People suffering from such psychological problems often resort to violence or suicide, which poses a big threat to the people around them and thus causes instability to the whole society.Others, however, hold a different view. They maintain that it is beneficial to people. It goes side by side with success. It inspires people to overcome hardships and difficulties and achieve the final success. People with this view even go so far as to say that no frustration, no success. Indeed, we cannot always hope to embrace success and never accept failure. And most importantly, only if we learn from many a failure can we do things better and finally overcome such a bad feeling as frustration.第12 页共12 页。

Hisgrades were good and he needed only eightyears to finish his schooling instead of theusual twelve. After graduating from school,he worked his way though college. He sweptfloors, waited on table, or worked in one ofthe college offices. During all this busy life,he had been moving around on his stumps.But one day the doctor told him even thestumps were not going to last much longer.He would soon have to use a wheelchair.Hank felt himself get cold all over.

It offers numerous physical, mental, and social benefits that contribute to an overall sense of well-being. In this essay, we will explore the importance of regular exercise and its positive impact on our lives.Firstly, regular exercise plays a vital role in improving our physical health. Engaging in physical activities such as running, swimming, or cycling helps to strengthen our muscles and bones. It also enhances cardiovascular fitness, leading to a reduced risk of heart diseases and other chronic conditions. Furthermore, exercise promotes weight management and helps to prevent obesity, a growing problem in modern society.In addition to physical health, exercise greatly contributes to our mental well-being. Engaging in exercise releases endorphins, often referred to as the "feel-good" hormones, which elevate our mood and reduce stress and anxiety. Regular exercise can also alleviate symptoms of depression and improve overall cognitive function. It provides an opportunity for self-reflection and relaxation, acting as a positive outlet for coping with life's challenges.Furthermore, exercise offers a platform for social interaction, which is crucial for our overall well-being. Participating in group activities, such as team sports or fitness classes, allows us to connect with others who share similar interests. These social interactions foster a sense of belonging and camaraderie, reducing feelings of loneliness and isolation. Moreover,exercise can serve as a bonding activity among friends, family members, or colleagues, leading to stronger relationships and increased social support.To conclude, regular exercise is essential for a healthy and fulfilling life. It not only improves physical health and fitness but also enhances mental well-being and fosters social connections. Incorporating exercise into our daily routines should be a priority for everyone, regardless of age or fitness level. So, let's make a commitment to prioritize our health and embrace regular exercise for a happier and healthier future.。

It was so superior to anything else on the seas that it was called “unsinkable”. So sure of this were the owners that they provided lifeboats for o nly 950 of its 2,200 passengers.Many passengers were aboard the night it ran into an iceberg, only two days at sea and more than half way between England and the New Yorkdestination. Because the luxury liner was traveling so fast, it was impossible to avoid the huge iceberg. A fire also contributed to the ship’s submersion. Panic increased the number of casualties(伤亡) as people jumped into the water or fought to be among the few to board the lifeboats. Four hours after the shipwreck, another ship, the Carpathia, rescued the survivors---less than a third of those originally aboard.The Titanic enjoyed only two days of sailing glory on its maiden voyage in 1912 before plunging into 12,000 feet of water near the coast of Newfoundland, where it lies today.11.

CVery old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes into contact with them. Their values --- this can be repeated too often --- are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone on bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of ? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car: it needs more mechanical maintenance as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. And at what point should you cease to treat the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by pursuing the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that it is designed to die? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunity, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there’s life, there’s hope.When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.1.

Failure not only brings the disappointment and disapproval of parents, but destroys personal self-confidence as well. The second leading cause of college suicide is the end of a love affair. When romance ends, there is more than just disappointment; there is the feeling of being rejected and abandoned, the complete loss of self-esteem (自尊). Next, college suicides often involve the shy students who, lacking social contacts, tend to be consumed by their problems. Finally, despite the alarming college suicide rate, many colleges offer little or no on-campus therapy for emotional problems.The suicide rate rises again in middle age when the male realizes that his career goals have not been achieved and are in fact now unattainable (无法实现的). The middle-aged woman may turn to suicide upon the departure from home of her children, after which she may no longer feel useful and needed.Finally, the suicide rate reaches its peak among the elderly, who today suffer from a host of emotionally crippling influences. Our society now emphasizes youth and young ideas. After a forced retirement at age 70, many people feel useless, lonely, bored, and frustrated. In addition, they may suffer great financial insecurity, physical pain, or may have terminal illnesses. For persons over age 85, the suicide rate is 26 per 100,000.1. The best title of this passage would be __________.A) Suicides among College Students B) Therapy for Emotional ProblemsC) Rising suicide Rate D) Causes of suicides2. Which of the following is not the reason why college students commit suicide?A) Poor academic results. B) Pressures from parents andteachersC) Unfavorable personality. D) Failure in a love affair.3. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A)if colleges had offered enough help, many students would not have committed suicideB) most college students lack self-confidenceC) shy students may turn to suicide when a love affair endsD) many students feel rejected and abandoned by their parents4. According the author, middle-aged woman commit suicide because they __________.A) have failed to achieved their career goalsB) feel useless and no longer needed after their children leave themC) feel bored and exhausted after all those years of hard workD) cannot bear being away from the children第 6 页共11 页第 7 页 共 11 页5.

DBecause smoking is a form of addiction, 80 percent of smokers who quit usually experience some withdrawal symptoms. These may include headache, light-headedness, and chest pains. Psychological symptoms, such as anxiety, short-term depression, and inability to concentrate, may also appear. The main psychological symptom is increased irritability. People become so irritable, in fact, that they say they feel “like killing somebody.” Yet there is no evidence that quitting smoking leads to physical violence.Some people seem to lose all their energy and drive, wanting only to sleep. Others react in exactly the opposite way, becoming so over energized they can't find enough activity to burn off their excess energy. For instance, one woman said she cleaned out all her closets completely and was ready to go next door to start on her neighbor's. Both these extremes, however, eventually level off. The symptoms may be intense for two or three days, but within 10 to 14 days after quitting, most subside. The truth is that after people quit smoking, they have more energy, they generally will need less sleep, and feel better about themselves.Quitting smoking not only extends the ex-smoker's life, but adds new happiness and meaning to one's current life. Most smokers state that immediately after they quit smoking, they start noticing dramatic differences in their overall health and vitality.Quitting is beneficial at any age, no matter how long a person has been smoking. The death rate of an ex-smoker decreases after quitting. If the patient quits before a serious disease has developed, his/her body may eventually be able to restore itself almost completely.1. Which of the following is the main psychological symptom of smokers who quit? A) Being light-headed. B) Being anxious. C) Being easily annoyed. D) Being violent.2. Why does the author offer the example of one woman in Paragraph 2? A) To tell us that smokers will be over-energetic.B) To indicate that smokers have to participate in some activities to help quit smoking.C) To show that the smokers who quit will go to extremes.D) To claim that smokers will be very helpful once they quit smoking. 3. How do most smokers feel immediately after they quit smoking?A) They have better health and more vitality. B) They find that life is meaningless.C) They need more sleep than before. D) They visit their neighbors more often.班级 学号 姓名---------------------------------------------装-----------------------------------------订----------------------------------------线--------------------------------------------装 订 线 以 内 不 准 作 任 何 标 记4.

BImagine reading one day that you had been a subject in a risky science experiment without knowing it. At school, you had been fed cereal laced with radioactive chemicals so scientists could learn more about the digestive system. Because the food was radioactive, scientists could easily trace its path through the body.Scientists now know that exposure to large amounts of radiation can cause cancer,a group of diseases in which bodily cells grow wildly out of control. Some peoplewho were part of radiation studies later developed cancer and blame the radiation for causing the cancer. Others are worried the radiation will some day make them sick.Some doctors say that, in many cases, such fears are unjustified because the radiation does used in the experiments were too small to cause harm. They also say that since the dangers of radiation were less well understood then than they are now, even researchers who used high doses of radiation didn’t do anything wro ng.Some critics claim that no excuse is acceptable for not informing subjects about the nature of an experiment and giving them a chance to refuse to participate. Today, government rules require such informed agreement whenever a study uses people.1.T he passage is mainly about ___________.A .what kinds of experiment cannot be done on peopleB . whether it is moral to experiment on people without letting them knowC . how radiation studies are conductedD . what result can be produced in a radioactive experiment2.T he word “laced” in paragraph 1 most probably means __________.A) confused B) surrounded C) mixed D) covered3.W hich of the following is true according to the passage?A)Radioactive chemicals can cause bodily cells to grow wildly out of control.B)When the danger of radiation had not been proved, high doses of radiation wereacceptable.C)Most cancers are caused by radiation.D)Radioactive chemicals were once used to cure diseases with the digestive system.4.T oday, government rules __________.A)demand to stop all experiments harmful to peopleB)prohibit all tests related to human beingsC)disapprove of experiments with uncertain resultsD)require to protect people’s right not to be tested without permission.第8 页共11 页5.T he author’s attitude towards the government’s decision may be described as__________.A) indifferent B) favorable C) critical D) dubious四、完形填空(1)___1___ scientists still cannot predict earthquakes, they are learning a great deal about how the large plates in the eart h’s crust move, the ___2___ between plates , how earthquakes work, and the general probability that a given place will have an earthquake.

ABDCDCathy and Wayne are in their late 20’s, have been married five years, and are childless. The last time a member of Cathy’s family asked, ―When are you going to start a family?‖ her answer was, ―We’re a family!‖Cathy and Wayne belong to a growing number of young married couples who are deciding not to have children. A recent survey showed that in the last five years the percentage of wives aged 25 to 29 who did not want children had almost doubled. What lies behind this decision which seems to fly in the face of biology and society?Perhaps the most publicly outspoken childless couple are Ellen Peck and her husband William. They are not against parenthood but against the social pressures that push people into parenthood whether it is what they really want or not.―It’s a life-style choice,‖ Ellen says. ―We chose freedom and spontaneity (自发性), privacy (清静) and leisure. It’s also a question of where you want to give your efforts within your own family or in the larger community. This generation faces serious questions about the continuity of life on earth as well as its quality. Our grandchildren may have to buy tickets to see the last redwoods (红杉) or line up to get their oxygen ration (氧气量). There are men who complain about being caught in a traffic jam for hours on their way home to their five kids but can’t make the association between the children and the traffic jam. In a world seriously threatened by the consequences of overpopulation we’re concerned with making life without children acceptable and respectable. Too many children are born as a result of cultural pressure. And the results show up in the statistics on divorce and child-abuse.‖1. What does the member of Cathy’s family mean by saying ―When are you going to start afamily?‖A. When are you going to have children?B. When are you going to get married?C. When are you going to buy a house?D. When are you going to move to a new house?2. The number of childless young couples _____.A. is decreasingB. is increasingC. has more than doubledD. remains unchanged3. ―To fly in the face of‖ in the second paragraph means _____.A. to run intoB. to come acrossC. to followD. to go against4. Which of the following statements is true of the Pecks?A. They propose that young couples have no children.B. They urge that family planning be made obligatory.C. They think that no pressure should be put on young couples who do not want children.D. They think that there would be no divorce or child-abuse if young couples are notpressured into parenthood.5.

(二) DACBC ―I ask you to drink to his health as a young man full of the sprit of adventure who has lit up the world with a flash of courage.‖ With these words the British Minister of Air turned and raised his glass to the young man who sat before him – a young man who, only a month before, was completely unknown. Yet on that summer day in 1927 his name was on the world ’s lips – Charles Lindbergh, the first man to fly the Atlantic alone. He had been an air mail pilot, flying back and forth between Chicago and the city of St. Louis. Determined to win the $25,000 prize offered by a fellow-American for the first flight from New York to Paris, Lindbergh had persuaded a group of St. Louis businessmen to finance the building of a special plane for them. The news that Lindbergh intended to fly the Atlantic alone was received with disbelief. ―The plane would never fly,‖ people said. It would run out of fuel. It had only a single engine. Lloyd ’s of London refused to insure the flight. Men called Lindbergh the ―flying fool.‖ But on May 20th, 1927, just after ten to eight in the morning, Lindbergh ’s ―spirit of St. Louis,‖ heavily laden with fuel, struggled into air from a New York airfield. For several hours the weight to the petrol prevented the young pilot from flying more than a few feet above the wave-top. Night came, and thick fog covered up the stars. Lindbergh flew steadily on, hoping that his course was the right one. He struggled to keep awake, checking the fuel all the time to keep his mind active. Throughout the next day the ―Spirit of St. Louis ‖ flew on over the seeming limitless sea. Then a fishing boat appeared, and an hour later, land. It was Ireland. Lindbergh set a compass course for Paris. By ten o ’clock the light of France ’s capital were shining beneath him. Tired, unshaven, suddenly hungry, the ―flying fool ‖ came on to Le Bourget Airport, and landed in front of a huge crowd of wildly cheering people. After 34 hours of continuous piloting, the flight of 3600miles was over. 1. The British Minister Of Air _________. A) Praised Lindbergh for his intelligence B) encouraged Lindbergh to be adventurous C) congratulated Lindbergh for his bravery D) warned Lindbergh to be sensible 2. ―His name was on the world ’s lips ‖ means _________.

The discovery was made by doctors at Harvard University. They began by studying the clock-like group of cells in the brains of monkeys.Dr. Martin Moore Ede and Dr. Ralph Leidick recorded when during the day the monkeys ate, drank and slept. They found that most of the monkeys did the same things at about the same time each day. Then the doctors operated on the monkeys. They destroyed the tiny group of brain cells which they believed controlled the timing of activities.After the operation they found that the animals ate, drank, and slept the same amounts as before. But they did these things at very different times each day. There no longer seemed to be a clock within them that told them when it was time to eat, drink or sleep.Scientists could not do the same kinds of experiments with humans. But they were able to find evidence of a similar group of cells in the human brain.Dr. Charles Seizler and the two Harvard researchers looked through many years of medical records to find patients who had tumors (肿瘤) or brain damage in that area of the brain. The records showed that such patients had the same kind of eating, drinking. and sleeping problems as the monkeys whose timer cells had been destroyed.The scientists believe the cells above the optic nerves (视神经) are only one of two biological clocks in the brain. They said they had not yet found the one which governs changes in thebody’s t emperature.1. Dr. Martin Moore Ede and Dr. Ralph Leidick found in their research that ________.A) the majority of monkeys did the same things at the same time even when the timer cellshad been removed from the brainB) only the minority of the monkeys did the same things at the same time each dayC) after the operation the monkeys ate and drank the same, but slept less than beforeD) after they destroyed the brain cells controlling the timing of activities, the monkeys didn’tseem to do some things at the same time as before2. Harvard doctors have discovered a group of timer cells ________.A) in the biological clocks B) in the human bodyC) in the brain D) in monkeys’ head3. The sentence ―Scientists could not do the same kinds of experiments with humans.‖ (Paragraph 4) implies that ________.A) human brains were too complicated to operate on第7 页共11 页B) it was illegal to operate on a human brain just for an experimentC) human brains were too expensive to obtainD) now that the cells had be en found in the monkey’s brain, it was no use repeating the same research on the human brain4. Scientist were keen on examining the histories of the brain-defective patients most probably because ________.A) they wanted to find evidence of the timer cells in the human brainB) they wanted to cure the patients of the diseasesC) their sympathy for the patients drove them to do soD) they didn’t feel sure about the existence of such cells in the brain5. The sentence ―The scientists believe the cells above the optic nerves are only one of two biological clocks in the brain.‖ means ________.A) only one biological clock is in the brainB) the two biological clocks both lie in the brainC) only one biological clock is found in the brainD) none of the above(四)It was midnight in Paris and we were rolling toward the Avenue Bosgut. As we came to the Pont Alexandre III, the cab slowed down, for the traffic light was red against, and then, without stopping, we sailed through the red light in a sudden burst of speed. The same performance was repeated at the Alma Bridge. As I paid the driver, I asked him why he had driven through two red lights.―You ought to be ashamed of yourself, a veteran like you, breaking the law and endangering you life that way.‖ I protested.He looked at me astonished. ― Ashamed of myself? I am a law-abiding citizen and have no desire to get killed either.‖ He cut me off before I could protest.―No, just listen to me before you complain. What did I do? Went through a red light. Well, did you ever stop to consider what a red light is, what it means?‖―Certainly.‖I replied. ―It’s a stop signal and means that traffic is rolling in the opposite direction.‖―Half-right,‖ said the driver, ―but incomplete. It is only an automatic stop signal. And it does not mean that there is cross traffic. Did you see any cross traffic during our trip? Of course not. I slowed down at the light, looked carefully to the right and to the left. Not another car on the streets at this hour. Well, then! What would you have me do? Should I stop like a dumb animal because an automatic, brainless machine turns red every seconds? No, monsieur,‖ he thundered, hitting the door with a huge fist. I am a man, not a machine. I have eyes and a brain and judgment, given me by God. It would be a sin against nature to surrender them to the dictates of a machine. Ashamed of myself, you say? I would only be ashamed of myself if I let those blinking lamp do my thinking for me. Good night, monsieur.‖Is this bad, is this good? Frankly I No longer am sure. I never doubted that it was wrong to drive through a red light, but now I find my old Anglo-Saxon standards somewhat shaken. (82%)第8 页共11 页21.

A dog can be a happy addition to your family, but if you choose the wrong kind of dog, it can cause a lot of trouble.Families should sit down and thoroughly discuss the problems involved before buying a dog. Even if the children in your family are the ones who want the dog, the parents are ones who are really responsible for seeing that the animal is properly cared for. If you don’t know much about dogs, it’s a good idea to go to the library or the ASPCA (美国动物保护协会)for books about various kinds of dogs, as well as books about how to train a puppy. In reading about the different kinds, you should know that a dog described as very alert may be too jumpy and bouncy. When a book describes a dog as an ideal hunting dog, it probably means that the dog won’t be happy living in a small apartment. Dogs of different kinds vary in popularity as the years go by. One of the most popular dogs these days is the German shepherd. This is because it provides protection as well as companionship. The family should be warned that these dogs grow up to be very big, and may be too powerful for children to handle. If space is limited, a toy dog may be a good choice. These dogs are very small and easy to train. They don’t need to be walked daily, since they can exercise in the space available in the home.1. The main topic of the passage is ________.A) the care and proper selection of dogs for family petsB) different breeds of dogsC) responsibility for seeing that dogs are properly cared forD) different kinds of books about dogs2. According to the passage, who is really responsible for the dog’s welfare?A) Children. B) Parents. C) Family D) ASPCA3. The writer suggests one can get information about the different kinds of dogs _________.A) from the ASPCA B) from the libraryC) by buying a dog from a pet store D) by reading books about dogs4. According to the passage, why is the German shepherd a popular dog?A) Because they are big and aggressive.B) Because they provide companionship as well as protection.C) Because most people are afraid of them.D) Because they are easy to train.5. The toy dog is a good choice when ________.A) you have small children B) your living space is not largeC) you are afraid of large dogs D) you live in the city(二)CACBCSarah Winchester was a very rich woman.

They come to watch the ―Indy 500.‖ This 500-mile race is the most famous of all auto races.The motor race track is on the spot where an old farm once stood. A man named Carl Fisher bought the land in 1909. The car was a new invention at that time. Hardly anyone took the idea of car racing seriously. Yet Fisher pushed ahead with his plan to build a track.In two years the track was finished. It took 450 workers, 300 mules, and seven giant steamrollers to do the job. First, the ground was made perfectly flat. Then gravel was spread over the two-and-a-half-mile track. The top layer was made of crushed stone and tar. Grandstands to hold 15,000 people were build.The first races at the track were a disaster. The road broke under the speeding autos. Dust and rocks flew into drivers faces. There were several accidents. Some drivers and even some fans were killed.Auto racing might have ended after that. But Carl Fisher promised to make the track safer.
