D．part of a brochure.BThere’s no need to say it ,but there are really more than a few b enefits to educational tours .From the word itself ,an educationa l tour is something bone to gain knowledge while traveling and t ouring to some place .It creates opportunities for people to think out of the box and see things and places that aren’t usually see n in their normal environment..Educational trips aren’t always those that cover far distances .A s already said ,it is done to gain knowledge and you wouldn’t ne ed to go very far to have it .Sometimes , an educational trip coul d be in your hometown .Historic places and museums are always on top of the lists of the places to go in an educational tour .Educational tours like the se would make you know your country better .Your country’s hi story is rich and it is the reason why you came to be .But reme mber that the history of other states ,counties and countries are as important as your own .When you go on a trip to another country ,it is likely that you lea rn their culture first .Different cultures have different understandi ng and perspective of different acts ,and it could be dangerous or offending if you cannot understand a culture .When you go on an educational tour ,it is likely that you would h ave the opportunity to socialize with other people .Students are encouraged to talk to locals and natives and learn from them .b ecause it is with understanding that students gain knowledge . When students talk with local people ,they are gaining insights t o their life and their culture .It is said that when in Rome ,act an d think as the Romans do ,and this is a valuable skill that not all people could do .There are millions of people who want to travel ,and an educati onal tour is the perfect time to do so .Traveling opens new door s and opportunities ; it always makes you want to learn more .Cultures are many and widely different , and it is a very valuable t alent to understand the people of different cultures .Traveling with groups of other students is safer than traveling al one ,and bulk travels like those could also be helpful on the bud get .Group of friends could stay at one place and get discounts on the place that you wouldn’t get if you are traveling alone .Tra veling is fun and moue budget —friendly when with other people on an educational tour .Travel abroad for a month ,Try and see if you wouldn’t miss you r own country. Traveling would let you see your own country in a different way .The benefits of an educational tour are all impor tant，but this one creates patriotism in a person .A school isn’t a place where they teach you to find the answers ; it is a place where one teaches you to find the questions and l earn the answers for yourself .Educational tours are valuable thi s way . They teach you that you are not the only one seeking fo r questions and that there are other people who are willing to he lp you on your way too.61．What are educational tours according to the passage ?A．Something done to gain knowledge while traveling.B．Something done to know more about one’s own country whi le traveling .C．Something done to know more about a foreign country whil e traveling .D．Something done to seek for more friends while traveling. 62．What places are people most likely to go to in an education al tour?A．Schools and churches .B．Government buildings .C．Places of amusement.D．Historical places and museums .63．Which statement is correct according to the passage ?A．Educational trips always cover long distances.B．When on educational trips ,you seldom have the chance to t alk with other people.C．Educational trips are always too short to learn knowledge.D．Learning the culture first is a must before you go on educati onal trips.64．If you want to go on a cheap and safe educational trip ,you’d better .A．go with groups of other students B．avoid the top spotsC．book one in advanceD．learn the culture first65．What does the word “patriotism”in the eighth paragraph me an?A．同情B．爱国心C．羞耻心D．虚荣心CBecause the brain controls just abort everything , when somethi ng goes wrong with it, it’s often serious and can affect many diff erent parts of the body . Inherited diseases, brain disorders ass ociated with mental illness , and head injuries can all affect the way the brain works and upset the daily activities of the rest of t he body .Problems that can affect the brain include:Brain tumors .A tumor is swelling caused by overgrown tissue.A tumor in the brain may grow slowly and produce few sympto ms until it becomes large, or it can grow and spread rapidly ,ca using severe and quickly worsening symptoms . Brain tumors in children can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors usually gro w in one place and may be curable through surgery if they’re lo cated in a place where they can be removed without damaging the normal tissue near the tumor . A malignant tumor is cancero us and more likely to grow rapidly and spread.Headaches. Of the many different types of headaches , the mo st frequently occurring include tension headache (the most com mon type ),caused by muscle tension in the head ,neck , and sh oulders ; migraine , an intense, recurring headache with an uncl ear cause ; and cluster headache , considered by some to be a form of migraine. Migraines occur with or without warning and may last for several hours or days . There seems to be an inher ited predisposition to migraines as well as certain triggers that c an lead to them .People with migraines may experience dizzine ss, numbness, sensitivity to light , and nausea. And may see fla shing zigzag lines before their eyes .Mental illness. Mental illnesses are psychological and behavior al in nature and involve a wide range of problems in thought an d function. Certain mental illnesses are now known to be linked to structural abnormalities or chemical dysfunction of the brain . Some mental illnesses are inherited, but often the cause is unk nown. Injuries to the brain and chronic drug or alcohol abuse al so can trigger some mental illnesses. Signs of chronic mental ill nesses such as bipolar disorder or schizophrenia may first sho w up in childhood . Mental illnesses that can be seen in younge r people include depression , eating disorders such as bulimia o r anorexia nervosa , obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD ), and phobias.Head injuries. Head injuries fit into two categories; external (usu ally scalp)injuries and internal head injuries. Internal injuries ma y involve the skull, the blood vessels within the skull , or the brai n .Fortunately, most childhood falls or blows to the head result i n injury to the scalp only, which is usually more frightening than threatening .An internal head injury could have more serious im plications because the skull serves as the protective helmet for the delicate brain.66．What will happen if something goes wrong with the brain?A．It’ll affect the function of the brain.B．It’ll cause brain disorders.C．Nothing serious.D．It won’t affect the rest of the body.67．Which of the following statements about the tumor is NOT t rue?A．A brain tumor grow slowly but may produce a few symptom s at the beginning.B．Benign tumors may be curable.C．A child diagnosed with a malignant tumor is likely to face a l ife threat.D．A tumor is caused by overgrown tissue.68．How many types of headaches are mentioned in the passa ge ?A．2. B．3. C．4. D．5.69．According to the passage, chronic drug or alcohol abuse m ay result in .A．brain tumors B．headaches C．mental illness D．head injuries70．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .A．external injuries are as threatening as internal injuries .B．problem with blood vessels belong to internal injuries.C．external injuries are less serious than internal injuries.D．the skull protects the delicate brain.Part IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks )Directions : Read the following passage . Fill in the numbered bl anks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Through various methods of research, anthropologists try to fit t ogether the pieces of the human puzzle –to discover how humanity was first achieved , and why separate societies behave similarly in some ways but quite differently in other ways .Anthropology. which emerged as an independent s cience in the late eighteenth century, has two main divisions :ph ysical anthropology and cultural anthropology.Physical anthropologists whose mission is to solve the mystery of how humans came to be human are most concerned with hu man biology . They study the fossils and organic remains of pri mates that once lived . They also study the connections between humans and other primates that are still living. In the lab . ant hropologists investigate the composition of blood chemistry for clues to the relationship of humans to various primates.A well-known family of physical anthropologists , the Leakey ,conducte d research in East Africa indicating that human evolution center ed there rather than Asia . In 1971. Louis Leakey and his wife Mary Leakey discovered stone tools that pushed back the dates for early humans to 3.75 million years ago.Like physical anthropologists, cultural anthropologists study clu es abort human life in the distant past ;however , cultural anthro pologists also look at similar and different things among human communities today. Some cultural anthropologists work in the fi eld , living and working among people in societies that differ fro m their own , producing descriptions of the daily activities of me n ,women that tell the story of the society’s community life as a whole .Some of them working at research universities making e fforts to discover cross-cultural patterns .A cultural anthropologist who achieved worldwide fame was Ma rgaret Mead . In 1923 , Mead went to Samoa to pursue ter first f ieldwork assignment –a study that resulted in her book Coming of Age in Samon bein g sold well .Mead is regarded as a pioneer to develop new tech nologies for research.According to many researchers , both physical anthropologists and cultural anthropologists are believed to have done a lot to p rovide service for society.Section B (10 marks )Directions : Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.He seems an unlikely hero,especially one that would save a kid from the jaws of a wild cougar(美洲豹) .Shen Huigang is just now getting recognition for his bravery in fi ghting off a cougar on Vancouver Island . Canada , during a fa mily outing on Aug .30.Shen , also known as Ian , was then an exchange student at K wantlen Polytechnic University enjoying the afternoon on a bea ch near Ucluelet, a small town on the edge of the Pacific Ocean .With him was a friend , Myles Hagar , and Hagar’s two grandchi ldren.Silently and suddenly a cougar appeared out of nowhere.By the time the two adults spotted the cat , believed to be youn g but still weighing 30 to 35 kilograms , it already had the head of 18-month old Julien in its mouth.Instinctively, the young man gestured as if he were ready for a f ight , and tried to scare the beast off with the bag in his hands.On hearing the noise Shen made , the animal dropped the kid a nd Hagar grabbed his grandson from the cougar’s jaws . Shen and Hagar gradually chased the animal back intro the woods.“We also moved slowly to our vehicle , as we waved our fists an d bags , pretending we wanted to fight with it ,”Shen said .“Thevehicle wasn’t far away but it felt like it took us a century to trav el the short journey .”“Any hesitation , at any moment , even a second delay , would have resulted in certain death for Julien. The cougar was just a bout to break his neck and carry him away to be eaten in the for est.”Hagar said. Julien has since made a full recovery .Parks Canada spokeswoman Arlene Armstrong told the Nation al Post newspaper of Canada in an interview in August .“The tw o men acted properly by maintaining eye contact with the big ca t and aggressively scaring it off.”81．How did Ian get recognition on Vancouver Island ?(No mor e than 12 words ). 82．What happened to Julien by the time the two adults saw th e young cougar ?(No more than 10 words )83．Why did the cougar give up eating the kid ?(No more than 8 words )84．What if you are fighting with a wild cougar ?(No more than12 words )Section C (25 marks )Directions :Write an English composition according to the instru ctions given below in Chinese.某英语报向中学生征集关于开展研究性学习的文章，请你根据堤示，用英语写一篇介绍你校和你们小组研究性学习活动的短文。

北京朝阳区2012年高考二模试题英语(解析)第一部分:听力理解：第一节：第二节第三节第二部分：知识运用：第一节：单项填空：21。

考点：定冠词和不定冠词的用法专题：单项选择题分析：根据冠词的基本用法，名词第一次出现时前面一般用不定冠词，特指时要用定冠词。

解答：按照此题的具体的交际语言环境，“这个问题已经解决了吗?”显然是指双方心目中特指的这个问题，故第一空要用定冠词the，可排除A项和C项。

再根据答语的语境“我们正在想一个办法出来，”可确定要用不定冠词。

因此答案选B。

点评：既要掌握冠词的基本用法，又要注意冠词在实际语言环境中的灵活运用。

22.考点：介词的用法专题：单项选择题分析:注意名词和介词的习惯搭配用法解答:从本句的语意和句式结构来看，need 在本句中用作名词，表示“对什么的需要”，其后常接介词for 一起搭配使用，故答案选D.点评： Need 在句子中可用作情态动词，实意动词和名词，注意其灵活运用。

23考点：连词及其引导的状语从句的用法专题：单项选择题分析：答案中四个选项都可用作连词，可用作引导不同类型的状语从句。

解答：从句意看，“如果你不介意乘坐晚上的火车的话，你可以早一点到达目的地”.句中的连词显然是表示“如果"的意思，可排除答案B项unless“除非,如果不";C项though “虽然，尽管"和D 项until表时间的连词。

故答案选A点评：根据句意和各连词的用法选择合适答案。

24考点：动词的时态用法专题：单项选择题分析：答案中四个选项分别列出了四种时态，一般过去时表示在过去的某一时间发生的事情，过去完成时表示在过去的某个时间点之前发生的动作和状态，一般将来时是指将来的情况，现在完成进行时表示从过去某个时间点开始，一直进行到现在的动作或状态。

解答：从句子的答语看，“这是我一直在寻找的工作。

"显然“我”从过去开始到现在一直在寻找这一工作。

可知答案应选D项，用现在完成进行时符合本题语境.点评:掌握动词的各种时态用法，结合句子的实际语境要求选择正确答案。

AA winter wonderland on the outskirts of Quebec City has become one of Canada's hottest attractions and most sought out accommodations. Guests stay close for warmth in sleeping bags on beds of ice, hats pulled over their ears to prevent frostbite, while sipping cocktails (鸡尾酒) in glasses also made of ice.A cool place to host a memorable wedding or for a romantic getaway, the Quebec Ice Hotel has attracted 600,000 curious tourists, including 30,000 who stayedovernight, 56.C since opening seasonally11 years ago. Like Victoria and Jeremy Martin, dozens of couples will exchange vows (誓约) this winter in a temporary church next to the hotel, sculpted entirely from blocks of ice with seats covered in furs.Average temperatures 58.A fall below minus 20 degrees C (minus four F) in winter, but inside the hotel's 36 rooms it is relatively cozy. Thickwalls of packed snow and ice act as an insulator, 57.trapping body heat inside. Each room is uniquely decorated, using designs created by Quebec architecture students. Two hotel bars also sell special cocktails in ice glasses.First-time guests of the hotel, however, are recommended to stay only one night as sleeping in58.B sub-zero temperatures is not very refreshing. This year for the first time the ice hotel has teamed up with a bricks and concrete Quebec City hotel to offer packages for one-night accommodations at each. Prices for one nightonly at the ice hotel58.D start at 200 US dollars per person.The 3,000-square-metre (32,300-square-feet) buildings take six weeks starting in December to build, using 15,000 tonnes of snow and 500 tonnes of ice, at a cost of some 750,000 US dollars. Eleven weeks after its seasonal grand opening, the hotel will close on March 27 and then melt away with the arrival of spring.56. What is true with the ice hotel?A. 630,000 people have visited it.B. 30,000 people visit it each year.C. It has stayed open for many years.D. Wedding ceremonies are often held there.57. The underlined word “insulator” in Paragraph 3 possibly refers to something that _____.A. stops heat passing through itB. collects and reflects light and heatC. makes things become very coldD. works like an air-conditioner58. What can we learn about the hotel rooms?A. It can be -20°C inside.B. The temperature is always below 0°C.C. The rooms all look alike.D. Each room costs $200 per night.59. First-time guests are advised to stay there only one night because _____.A. they may not be able to stand the coldB. their other night is with an ordinary hotelC. new guests have less advantages over old onesD. the first-day service is just for a test run60. If you choose to visit the ice hot el during the Christmas season, you’ll find _____.A. it doesn’t exist at allB. it is just being builtC. most of its rooms are vacantD. it is crowded with guestsCMany people think it is safe to use a cell phone while they are driving. Yet Scores of studies suggest that real multitaskers – those who can carry out multiple (多个的) tasks equally well, make up just 2 per cent of the population. More surprisingly, the so-called “supertaskers” actuall y have differently structured brains to the other 98 percent.The brain areas that make supertaskers differ from the rest of the population are the same parts that are most different between humans and nonhuman primates (灵长类), according to David Strayer, director of the applied cognition lab at the University of Utah. Scientists are unsure of the reason why some brains are different. In fact, we could all benefit from doing just one task at once.In most of us, scientists have located a “bottleneck in the brain” that may explain why we find it hard to do two things at once.The problem appears to be caused by a logjam of nerve messages. 68.Faced with two almost simultaneous (同时的) tasks less than 300 milliseconds apart, the brain's ability to deal with the second one slows down. The neural (神经的) response to the second task was postponed until the response to the first was completed. 69.This means that with e-mails, phone calls, text messages and online social media all competing for our attention, often against a background of television, radio or music, our brains can reach information overload.Scientists made the discovery after scanning the brains of volunteers attempting to multitask on a computer. The task was deliberately designed to involve the use of different senses and motor responses.Dr Rene Marois, one of the neuroscientists who carried out the experiment at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, said: “Our research offers neurological evidence that the brain cannot effectively do two things at once.” The next step, the neuroscientists say, is finding out “why these areas cannot process two tasks at once."66. How many people can drive equally well while using a cell phone?A. Nobody.B. Everybody.C. 2 in 100.D. 98 in 100.67. The researchers tried to find out the difference between _____ brain structures.A. different supertaskers’B. supertaskers’ and ordinary people’sC. humans’ and nonhuman primates’D. supertaskers’ and nonhuman primates’68. We can infer from the article that the brain takes 300 milliseconds to _____.A. make a neural responseB. get ready for a responseC. complete a taskD. finish two tasks69. If we _____, our brains may reach information overload.A. serf the Internet after listening to musicB. use a cell phone against a background of televisionC. complete all kinds of tasks within the same dayD. have lots of tasks queuing for responses70. Fr om the dictionary explanations, choose one for the underlined word “motor” in Paragraph 5.A. having an engineB. relating to vehicles with enginesC. relating to nerves that make muscles move (control body movement)D. the part of a machine that makes it moveDTwo graduates from Cambridge University in the United Kingdom found themselves about to graduate, yet with loans (贷款) to pay off. The pair decided to begin a strange, year-long project to battle their debt.The men, Ross Harper and Ed Moyse, set up the site . last October as a way to get rid of the $80,000 they shared as student loans. The idea behind the project was to earn money by selling their faces as advertising space every day for a year.72.Each day, they advertise a different business on their site by painting the brand's logo (商标) or name on their faces andincluding a link to the company’s site.After they paint their faces and publish them on the site, Harper and Moyse go out to highly populated areas such as music festivals and theme parks to maximize their faces’ exposure.At this time, Harper and Moyse have advertised their faces for over four months without skipping a day and they're more than halfway to their goal. Though they first started charging a minimum of about USD $1.60 per company, the prices have risen as their popularity increased. For advertising space during the remainder of April, they range between USD $250 and $750.Terri L. Rittenburg, associate professor of marketing at the University of Wyoming, said she had heard of people tattooing (纹身) logos on themselves before, but this idea is much better. According to her, at first the idea would be new and novel and attract attention, but she is unsure how long it would last.At least for now, companies that have bought Harper and Moyse’s faces havewritten positive comments on the pair’s website.75.“We had a thr ee percent increase in website traffic (流量) on the very day and for two days more afterwards,” said an alcoholic beverage company.71. Which of the following was most possibly taken from the website .?A. B. C. D.72. At , you can _____ of the company being advertised for.A. click to enter the websiteB. download product picturesC. get in touch with the staffD. read a brief introduction73. Harper and Moyse go to highly populated areas to _____.A. have funB. make friendsC. show their facesD. find new customers74. We can infer from the article that the two men _____.A. must have earned more than $40,000B. aren’t getting on well with their projectC. may close their site next monthD. always work hard except on holidays75. The men’s idea of advertising has proved to work because _____.A. many people visit their websiteB. their faces have become well-knownC. their customers get more attentionD. an expert has highly praised them。

Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, US,__41___ on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do__42___ things, such as lie or cheat, than poorer people. The scientists did a series of eight experiments.They__43___ their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive cars__44___ a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving more __45___ cars.In another experiment, a group of college students was asked if they would do unethical(不道德的) things in various everyday situations and__46___ included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more__47___ . Students from higher-class families were more likely to act dishonestly.According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other people‘s feelings.Finally, it__48___ makes them greedier . ―Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more, and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self-interest,‖ said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study.Piff pointed out that the findings don‘t mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Is language, like food, a basic human need without which a child at a critical period of life canbe__50___ and damaged? Judging from an experiment in the thirteenth century, it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if a baby heard no mother__51___ , the experimenter told the nurses to keep silent.All the__52___ died before the first year. But clearly there was more than lack of language here.What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year oflife__53___ , the capacity to survive is seriously affected.Today no such severe lack exists as that ordered by the experimenter.__54___ , some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is__55___ to the signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to learn language rapidly. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for__56___ skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again. A bird learns to sing and to fly rapidly at right time, but the process is slow and hard once the__57___ stage has passed.Experts suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed sequence and at a__58___ age, but there are cases where speech has started__59___ in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ. At twelve weeks a baby smiles and makes vowel-like sounds; at twelve months he can speak simple words and understand simple __60___ ; at eighteen months he has a vocabulary of three to fifty words. At three he knows about 1,000 words which he can put into sentences, and at four his language differs from that of his parents in style__61___ grammar.Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the__62___ to speak. What is special about man‘s brain, compared with that of the monkey, is the complex system which enables a child to__63___ the sight and feel of, say, a toy-bear with the sound pattern ―toy –bear‖. And even more__64___ is the young brain‘s ability to pick out an order in language from the mixture of sound around him, to analyse, to combine and recombine the parts of a language in new ways.50.A. constructed B. starved C. spoiled D. exhausted51.A. sound B. singing C. educating D. tongue52.A. parents B. care-takers C. infants D. investigators53.A. randomly B. originally C. greatly D. especially54.A.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,C or D. Choose the one that suits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is ―Don‘t!‖. But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act, though the chances of his becoming famous are slim. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a repertory company, usually as an assistant stage manager. This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre: painting scenery, looking after the furniture, taking care of the costumes, and even acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed. The hours are long and the salary is tiny. But young actors with the stage in their blood are happy, waiting for the chances of working with a better company, or perhaps in films or television.Of course, some people have unusual chances which lead to fame and success without this long and dull training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop, as he drove past in his big car. He told the driver to stop, and he got out to speak to the girl. He asked her if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and at first she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took the producer twenty minutes to tell Connie that he was serious. Then an appointment was made for her to go to the studio the next day. The test was successful. They gave her some necessary lessons and within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. Of Course, she was given a more dramatic name, which is now world-famous. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!65. According to the passage, the main reason why young people should be discouraged from becoming actors is ______.A. actors are very unusual peopleB. the course at the drama school lasts two yearsC. acting is really a hard jobD. there are already too many actors66. Accord ing to the context, the sentence ―But young actors with the stage in their blood are happy‖ at the end of the first paragraph means ______.A. they don‘t care if their job is hardB. they like the stage naturallyC. they are born happyD. they are easily satisfied67. Connie Pratt soon became a famous actress after ______.A. learning some lessons about the art of speakingB. playing her part in the ―Blue Colored Moon‖C. successfully matching the most famous actorsD. acting a leading part with a most famous actor at that time68. The phrase ―once in a blue moon‖ in last line means ______.A. all at onceB. once for a long timeC. once in a whileD. once and for all(B)69. Which of the following does NOT provide training?A. The ABC 2011 Challenge.B. Advance.C. The Volunteer Centre Westminster.D. The Kingston Advocacy.70. We learn from the ads that Advance wants volunteers who ______.A. are over 18 years oldB. have relevant experienceC. can come to help every weekD. need only one day of training71. What kind of person might apply to Kingston Advocacy?A. One who hoped to be paid.B. One interested in doing interviews.C. One curious about police life.D. One who can work late into the night.(C)The gift of being able to describe a face accurately is a rare one, as every experienced police officer knows to his cost. As the Lancet put it recently, ―When we try to describe faces precisely, words fail us, and we resort to identikit (拼脸型图) procedures.‖Yet, according to one authority on the subject, we can each probably recognize more than 1,000 faces, the majority of which differ in fine details. This, when one comes to think of it, is a tremendous feat, though, curiously enough, relatively little attention has been devoted to thefundamental problems of how and why we acquire this gift for recognizing and remembering faces. Is it an inborn property of our brains, or an acquired one? As so often happens, the experts tend to differ.Thus, some argue that it is inborn, and that there are ―special characteristics about the brain‘s ability to distinguish faces‖. In support of this, they note how much better we are at recognizing a face after a single encounter than we are, for example, in recognizing an individual horse. On the other hand, there are those, and they are probably in the majority, who claim that the gift is an acquired one.The arguments in favor of this latter view, it must be confessed, are impressive. It is a habit that is acquired soon after birth. Watch, for instance, how a quite young baby recognizes his mother by sight. Granted that his other senses help – the sound, his sense of smell, the distinctive way she handles him. But of all these, sight is predominant. Formed at the very beginning of life, the ability to recognize faces quickly becomes an established habit, and one that is, essential for daily living, if not necessarily for survival. How essential and valuable it is we probably do not appreciate until we encounter people who have been deprived of the faculty.This unfortunate inability to recognize familiar faces is known to all, but such people can often recognize individuals by their voices, their walking manners or their spectacles. With typical human ingenuity, many of these unfortunate people overcome their handicap by recognizing other characteristic features.72. It is stated in the passage that ______.A. it is unusual for a person to be able to identify a face satisfactorilyB. the ability to recognize faces unhesitatingly is an unusual giftC. quite a few people can visualize faces they have seenD. few people can give exact details of the appearance of a face73. What the author feels strange about is that _______.A. people have the tremendous ability to recognize more than 1,000 facesB. people don‘t th ink much of the problem of how and why we acquire the ability to recognize and remember facesC. people don‘t realize how essential and valuable it is for them to have the ability to recognize facesD. people have been arguing much over the way people recognize and remember faces74. What is the first suggested explanation of the origin of the ability?A. It is one of the characteristics peculiar to human beings.B. It is acquired soon after birth.C. It is something we can do from the very moment we are born.D. It is learned from our environment and experiences.75. This passage seems to emphasize that ______.A. the ability to recognize individuals is dependent on other senses as well as sightB. sight is indispensable (必需的) to recognizing individualsC. the ability to recognize faces is a special inborn ability of the brainD. the importance of the ability of recognizing faces is fully appreciated by people.Section 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.What does the Olympic Motto mean?Research on individual styles improves performance.Research holds the key to success.Personalized programs will help.New equipment has made a difference.Is there a limit to record-breaking?76. __________________A world record is every athlete‘s dream, but the hard-won records of a few years ago are mostly just today‘s qualifying times. Roger Bannister‘s famous four-minute mile of 1956 has been beaten by nearly 15 seconds, while almost an hour and twenty minutes has been taken off the women‘s marathon since. 1953. ‗Faster, higher, stronger‘, is the Olympic motto, and today‘s competitors continue to push back the boundaries of what the body can achieve. But one wonders if this can continue.77. __________________The last forty years have seen many important technological advances. For example, since the introduction of strong flexible, fiberglass poles, over a meter has been added to the pole vault record. There have also been important developments in the design of the running shoe. And while a shoe won‘t actually make someone run faster, modern shoes do mean many more miles of comfortable, injury-free training.78. __________________Pushing back the limits now depends more on science, technology and medicine than anything else. Athletic technique, training programmes and diets are all being studied to find ways oftaking a few more seconds off or adding a few more centimetres to that elusive world record. It seems that natural ability and hard work are no longer enough.79. __________________The research to find more efficient ways of moving goes on. Analysis of an athlete‘s style is particularly useful for events like jumping and throwing. Studies show that long jumpers need to concentrate not on the speed of approach, as once thought, but on the angle their bodies make with the ground as they take off. However, the rules governing each sport limit advances achieved by new styles. For instance only one-footed takeoffs are allowed in the high jump.80. __________________In the future, it should be possible to develop a more individual approach to training programmes. Athletes will keep detailed diaries and collect data to help predict the point when training becomes overtraining, the cause of many injuries. If athletes feed all their information into a database, it may then be possible to predict patterns and to advise them individually when they should cutSection DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Culture shock is so named because of the effect it has on people when they enter a new culture. Experts have been interested in these effects and have agreed on five basic stages of culture shock. These stages are general and should only be used as a reference. Not every individual will go through each stage, and one stage may last longer than another for different individuals.The hardest thing for most travelers to deal with is the emotional ―roller coaster‖ they seem to be riding. One moment they feel very positive toward the new culture, and the next moment very negative. It seems common that international visitors and immigrants vacillate（犹豫不定）between loving and hating a new country. Feelings of separation and alienation can be intensified if they do not have a sense of fitting in or belonging.Fatigue is another problem people face when entering a new culture. There can be a sense of greater need for sleep. This is due not only to physical tiredness, but also to mental fatigue. This mental fatigue comes from straining to comprehend the language, and coping with new situation.The impact of culture shock can vary from person to person. There can be significant differences because some people may be better prepared to enter a new culture. Four factors which play into these are personality, language ability, length of stay, and the emotional support received.It is logical to think that when people are deprived of heir familiar surroundings they will feel disoriented. One solution some have found is to bring a few small reminders of home. Pictures, wall hangings, favorite utensils, and keepsake are all good candidates to make things feel more familiar. Another helpful activity is to establish little routines that become familiar over time. Even better is fitting things that were part of the regular routine back in the home country into the routine established in the new culture. This will make people feel more at home.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. According to the 1st paragraph, what have experts been interested in?82. What are the two problems people face when entering a new culture?83. Coping with new situations may result in________.84. The author thinks the more effective way to solve ―cultural shock‖ is________.第Ⅱ卷（共45分）Ⅰ.Translation（20分）Directions: Translate the following sentences into English.
