So one day she went to see her doctor. However, he could not find anything wrong with her. Then he sent her to the local(当地的)hospital for tests. And soon the hospital sent the results of the tests to Mrs. Black’s doctor. The next morning, the doctor telephoned her to give her a list of things that he thought she should not eat, as any of them might be the cause of her skin trouble.Mrs. Black carefully wrote down all the things on a piece of paper. Then she left it beside the telephone and went to a ladies’meeting.Two hours later she got back home. And she found her husband was waiting for her. There was a big basket full of packages beside him. When h e saw her, he said, “Hi, dear. I have done all your shopping for you.”“Done all my shopping?” she asked in surprise, “But how did you know what I wanted?”“Well, when I got home, I found your shopping list beside the telephone,” answered her husband, “So I went to the shops and bought all the things you had written down.”“Oh, my dear!

He began his lesson by holding up a ￥100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, “Who would like this ￥100 bill?” The students began to put up their hands at once. Then he said, “I am going to give this ￥100 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said,“Who wants it now?” The hands went back into the air.“Well,” he said, “what if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled(起皱)bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Hands went back into the air.“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valuable lesson today. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value (价值). It was still worth ￥100 !”Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those people who love you.

Once every 30 seconds there is an earthquake. But don’t worry because most are so weak that they cannot be felt. Only a few hurt people.But many earthquakes happen in China, so it is important to know what to do when one hits. In Japan, children are given lessons on earthquake safety because many happen there. Here are the National Earthquake Bureau’s (国家地震局) top tips on how to stay safely in an earthquake.● If you are indoors during an earthquake, hide under a desk. Stay away from windows and anything that could fall on you.● If you are outdoors, try to move away from buildings and streetlights. These could fall on you.● If you are in a shop and far from the door, do not run outside. Everyone will be doing that and you will find it hard to get out. Hide under a desk, don’t get into a lift during an earthquake.● When an earthquake has ended, be careful because afte rshocks may still happen. These are just as dangerous as the earthquake itself, so stay under the desk until you really think it is safe to get up.● If you are at home and you smell gas, open a window and get out of the building quickly. A gas line in you r house may be broken. This could be very dangerous.● Make sure you wear shoes after an earthquake. There may be broken glass on the ground.(1) What do you know about earthquakes after reading the passage?A.They happen very often on the earth.B.Most of them happen in China.C.They usually last thirty seconds.D.Many of them can hurt people.(2) The words “top tips” in the second passage mean .A.things we want to knowB.what to do at onceC.very interesting newsD.very important information(3) We mustn’t try to get out if we are in a shop when an earthquake happens because .A.it’s more dangerous outsideB.we may lost our wayC.people may hurt each otherD.the door will fall on as(4) When an earthquake ends, we should stay where we are because .A.aftershocks may still happenB.moving people are hurt more easilyC.we need a good rest thereD.anything moving will bring aftershocks(5) On the whole, the most important thing during an earthquake is .A.to stay where you are as long as possibleB.to be careful with everything we doC.to keep away from glass on the groundD.to run outside as quickly as possible5. Hundreds of years ago, a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots, a brave people, loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland, but there were too many of the Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night, the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight, my men,” he said,“Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.”They were all very tired. So they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty, but they too, were very tired, and one by one, also fell asleep.The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside, taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutesmore, the war would be over. Suddenly, one of them put his foot on a thistle (蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment, they were on their feet and ready for battle.

Some of the items discovered include pottery t arrowheads> weapons, and jewelry.For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905.

He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end of the lake has been found- Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.21.The Lost Sea is unique because it is •A.part of a historic cave systemB.the biggest underground lake in the USAC.listed in the Guinness Book of World RecordsD.the largest body of water in Tennessee22.The Craighead Caverns have been known •A.throughout historyB.since the time of the Indian nationsC.since 1905D.divers explored them23.Who located the Lost Sea in recent times'! •A.The Cherokee IndiansB.

They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music； they find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing； they think that all modern painting is ugly；and they seldom have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for perfection in everything> and they take their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new ideas or to express himself or the age in any original ways. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist y s failure concerns himself alone> but if it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage thebeauty of the whole place. This does sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.We can't judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient buildings. Technologically r the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to imitate the past. He is too proud to do that.26.Some people hate everything that is modern because •A.they are agedB.they look at things by the standards of the pastC.they take their standards of perfection from the GreekD・ they find it hard to accept modern things27.The writer o f the passage thinks that.A.it is true to say artists fail in their workB.it is untrue to say artists fail in their workC.it is true to say only painters fail in their workD.it is true to say some artists fail in their work28.The writer thinks the failure of a building •A.concerns othersB.means nothingC.concerns only the artistD.concerns all the people in the world29.The writer thinks that •A.we can't judge buildings by the ancient standardsB.we can't judge all the modern buildings by the ancient standardsC.we can't judge all the buildings by the ancient standardsD.we can't judge modern buildings30.Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced.

Adding a dog to the household increased young girls' physical activities by 52 minutes a day. It could 8 a meaningful difference to their health.“Having a dog in childhood could help kids create healthy 9 around physical activities," says MacDonald, a professor at Oregon State University, 10 has studied the physical and emotional benefits of dog ownership in kids.Part I Reading Comprehension (45 points)Section A (30 points)Directions: In this section, there are three passages.Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,C and D.You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage oneQuestions 11-15 are based on the following passageCollege professors these days face an ever-higher bar to grab the attention of theirs students, forced to compete with the pulling power of smartphones and laptops in large lecture halls.Butwhen your professor is a social media star, it is a little bit easier.Tatiana Erukhimova, who teaches physics at Texas A&M University, has managed to get her students, as well as future generations, excited about the science.Known as“Dr.Tatiana” to her students and online fan base, the professor performs physics tricks with boundless energy and enthusiasm, Videos of her theatrical demonstrations have attracted hundreds of millions of views across social media platforms.As part of the physics department's extensive program, she also puts on shows almost every week teaching physics to K-12 students, The sooner kids are taught physics and taught it well, the better, she says. It is clear she knows what it takes to get young people excited about science. But it was not always that way.When she first started teaching college freshman classes almost two decades ago.she says she struggled to grab the attention of her younger students. She was used to teaching juniors, as she had for a few years prior to that. By junior year, students majoring in physics are committed to learning, she says. But when it comes to teaching a large lecture hall of 100-plus first-year students, first impressions are make or break“I did not grab their attention on the first day-that was my mistake,"she says.“I missed this opportunity to bond with them from the very beginning."By the second semester, she adjusted her approach to make her lecture halls feel smaller, and get her students engaged.The key, she says, has been to make herself approachable and her instruction personal."“Talk to your students before and after class, walk up and down the stairs when you teach your class rather than stay on the stage. And don't just lecture, talk to them.make it interactive. When you ask the question, you expect the answer,"she says. “If you don't have the answer, you go to them and you still make them work with you-it's not always easy, but when you' re close to them, it's definitely easier."11. According to Paragraph l, professors find it more difficult to ____A. use smartphones in classB.become social media starsC. get students* attention in classD. give lectures without using laptops12. What can we learn about Dr. Tatiana from Paragraph 2?A. She is a professor of online games.B. She performs physics experiments in theatresC.She gains less energy from social media platforms.D.She has made many young persons interested in physics.13.Which is closest in meaning to “make or break" in Paragraph 4?A.Normal.B.Crucial.C.Breakable.D.Successful.14.According to Paragraph 5, Dr.Tatiana ____A.found the lecture hall too smallB.made a mistake in the second semesterC.got her students engaged at the very beginningD.could reflect on and adjust her teaching accordingly15.According to the last paragraph, good teachers should be able to ____A.give their lectures in an interactive wayB.persuade their students to stay on the stageC.ask questions that most students cannot answeiD.force their students to get well prepared before classPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.This is one of two schools in Richmond where the city has installed new enforcement cameras to catch speeders, Fitz Patrick has two children at the school.She is also a traffic safety advocate for the nonprofit Greater Richmond Fit4Kids, which is why she owns a radar gun (雷达测速器)Still, Fitz Patrick has mixed feelings about the speed cameras She would rather seethe whole street redesigned to discourage speeding and protect walkers and bicyclists Bushe also knows that will not happen anytime soon.The number of traffic deaths has risen sharply over the past decade , and safety advocates around the country are desperately searching for anything that will get drivers to slow down But critics say speed cameras can be a financial burden on those who are least able to pay, Still, they have eamed the support of important safety advocates including Jonathan Adkins, the chief executive officer of the Governors Highway Safety AssociationPolice departments in many places have scaled down their traffic enforcement.Adkins says, and speeding and careless driving seem to be getting worse. He says automated cameras can help fill that blank.“The question is, how do we arrange them in a fair way with the public support?"Adkins said.No one likes getting a speeding ticket. But the objections to automated traffic enforcement go deeper than that. “It is doubtful that safety is the real goal,"said Jay Beeber, with the National Motorists Association, a driver advocacy group."We need to make sure that our cities have all the tools that are effective to reduce traffic deaths,"said Laura Friedman, a state lawmaker in California who sponsored the state law authorizing automated cameras.“We make sure it can't be a money grab,because the money can only be used for physical speed-lowering improvements on the same streets where you're using the cameras,"she said. “So it's really about changing the culture and slowing traffic down."16. Fitz Patrick has a radar gun becauseA. she is a traffie safety advocateB. she has two children at the schoolC. she has new cameras to catch speedersD. she is a school headmaster in Richmond17. According to Paragraph 2, Fitz Patrick thinks thatA. more speed cameras will soon be fixedB. redesigning the whole street is a better choiceC.state lawmakers should redesign speed camerasD. the newly-installed cameras encourage speeding18. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Drivers find speed cameras can protect their safetyB,There are different views on the use of speed cameras.C. Speed cameras have caused a sharp rise in traffie deathsD. Safety advocates are desperately searching for slow drivers.19. What is Jonathan Adkins' attitude toward installing speed cameras?A. Critical.B. Intolerant.C.Sympathetic.D. Unconcerned.20.According to Laura Friedman, automated cameras are used toA. sponsor the state lawB. collect more money for schoolsC. let drivers respect the speed limitD. improve the traffic flow in the cityPassage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Experts suggest that Americans stop worrying about getting a perfect eight hours of sleep, and warn that stressing about the magic number may actually result in a drop in sleep quality and duration.Dr, Reena Mehra, a director of sleep research at the Cleveland Clinic, held that focusing too much on falling asleep may interrupt the process, “It works against the individual."she said.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than a third of Americans do not achieve the recommended seven to nine hours of sleep per night. The agency also found that quality sleep is determined by major sleep episodes that do no have frequent awakenings.One paper looking into the ideal amount of sleep found that “Sleep duration recommendations issued by public health authorities help to inform the population of interventions, policies, and healthy sleep behaviors, However, the ideal amount of sleep required each night can vary between different individuals due to gene-related factors and other reasons, and it is important to adapt our recommendations on a case-by-case basis."In the past, a lack of sleep was a sign to bosses that a person was productive and successful. But today, people try to create strategies to make the best use of their rest Researchers, scientists, psychologists and individuals in the sleep business said that the best course of action when it comes to sleep is to relax.Albert Einstein College of Medicine clinical associate professor of psychology DrShelby Harris said patterns and routines are more important than the magic eight-hour number, However, she stressed that people do not need to be so rigid that they can no longer sleep at all if they have to break from their routine to work late or deal with a restless child. Harris also noted that it is essential to remember that humans were able to sleep peacefully well before the invention of drugs and technology. “The pressure we put on ourselves is making sleep worse,"she said.21.In writing Paragraph 2, the author aims to _____A. give a definitionB. draw a conclusionC. make a comparisonD. support a viewpoint22.According to Paragraph 4, the ideal amount of sleep required each night ____A. can affect genesB. is based on policiesC. is different from person to personD. should be revised by public authorities23. According to Paragraph 5, in the past, a person lacking sleep was probably regarded as, ____A. an old personB. an able personC. a person creating strategiesD. a person making good use of his or her rest24. According to the last paragraph, Dr. Shelby Harris thinks that ______A. rigid persons need longer sleepB. a magic number can make you peacefulC. good sleep habits can improve your sleep qualityD. drugs and technology are essential for a restless child25. Where is the passage most probably taken from?A. An essay on trade.B. A report of public health.C. A review of a sports event.D. An introduction to an agency.Section B (15 points)Directions: In this section, some sentences have been removed from the following passage.

S. citizens.A．wordsB．a wordC．the wordD．wordReading ComprehensionThe newborn can see the difference between various shapes and patterns from birth. He prefers patterns to dull or bright solid colors and looks longer at stripes and angles than at circular patterns. Within three weeks, however, his preference shifts dramatically to the human face. Why should a baby with so little visual experience attend more to a human face than to any other kind of pattern? Some scientists think this preference represents a built in advantage for the human species. The object of prime importance to the physically helpless infant is a human being. Babies seem to have a natural tendency to the human face as potentially rewarding. Researchers also point out that the newborn wisely relies more on pattern than on outline, size, or color. Pattern remains stable, while outline changes with point of view; size, with distance from an object; and brightness and color, with lighting. Mothers have always claimed that they could see their newborns looking at them as they held them, despite what they have been told. The experts who thought that perception had to await physical development and the consequence of action were wrong for several reasons. Earlier research techniques were less sophisticated than they are today. Physical skills were once used to indicate perception of objects-skills like visual tracking and reaching for an object, both of which the newborn does poorly. Then, too, assumptions that the newborn’s eyes and brain were too immature for anything as sophisticated as pattern recognition caused opposing data to be thrown away. Since perception of form was widely believed to follow perception of more “basic” qualities such as color and brightness, the possibility of its presence from birth was rejected.41．What does a newborn baby like to see most?A．Bright colors.B．Circular patterns.C．Stripes and angles.D．Various shapes.正确答案：B42．The newborn pays more attention to a human face than any other kind of objects becauseA．he sees a human face more often than any other kind of patternB．he has an inherent ability to regard a human being as helpfulC．a human face is the most complex pattern he can seeD．a human face is often accompanied by a pleasant voice43．Contrary to what they believe, mothers have been told that newbornsA．care little about a human faceB．can’t track their movementsC．can’t see their facesD．can easily perceive brightness正确答案：C44．In earlier researches on the newborn’s perception, scientistsA．ignored evidence contrary to their assumptionsB．believed that perception of form comes before perception of color and brightnessC．opposed throwing away effective dataD．proved that physical skills come after visual perception正确答案：C45．The main idea of the passage is thatA．research techniques are of vital importance scientific investigationB．the findings of earlier scientific researchers often prove wrongC．newborns can perceive forms from birthD．more often than not the claims of mothers are reliable正确答案：AAlbert Einstein recalled his learning problems philosophically: “My intellectual development was slow, as a result of which I began to wonder about space and time only when I had already grown up. Naturally, I could go deeper into the problem than a child. “And so, 11 years after dismissal from school, young Albert Einstein published the theory of relativity that changed our understanding of the universe. No one in this century has been more widely recognized as a genius than Einstein. Yet his problems with early intellectual development and his peculiar gifts cast great doubt on all our conventional ideas about genius, intelligence or “I. Q. “On the one hand, Einstein showed early defects in abilities that our mental tests value; on the other hand, his special intellectual faculties went far beyond most definitions of intelligence. Moreover, their growth appears peculiarly gradual, contradicting the popular conception of intelligence as something inborn and fixed. His resolute persistence and his skills in playing games with ideas were apparently as decisive to his genius as any cutting edge of intellect. These powerful aspects of intelligence that conventional definitions overlook are getting close attention in a new wave of research. This comes after years of earlier studies which exposed the narrowness of our usual measures of mental ability. Intelligence, it turns out, ismultifaceted and marvelous; it includes personal characteristics, creativity skills and intellectual capabilities that show up on no test. What is most exciting is that some of these ill-defined abilities are possessed by many people. Just knowing about such neglected skills will help us discover and develop untapped potential in ourselves and in our children.46．This passage is aboutA．the development of Einstein’s intellectB．the wide recognition of Einstein as a geniusC．conventional ideas concerning geniusD．an insight to the complexity of human intelligence正确答案：D47．According to the passage, when Einstein was at school, heA．fell behind other pupilsB．was fond of studying philosophical problemsC．was proud of his own diligenceD．thought more deeply about the problems of space and time than his classmates 正确答案：B48．Which of the following led to Einstein’s success?A．His good skills in game-playing.B．His diligence and powerful mind.C．His unusual insight into the conception of intelligence.D．His decisiveness in taking actions.正确答案：C49．“Multifaceted”(Para. 3, Line 4)probably means ______.A．having many aspectsB．having many abilitiesC．having many skillsD．having many uses正确答案：A50．According to the passage which of the following statements is TRUE’?A．Conventional intelligence tests are not reliable.B．For ordinary people intelligence is something inborn and fixed.C．Einstein was apparently a genius in playing games as well as in scientific research.D．Einstein’s early defects in abilities contributed to his later mental development.正确答案：AIt is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems and that they have no sense of humour, at least in parent-child relationships. I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young. Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste. Sometimes you are resistant, and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog: you can’t win but at least you can keep your honour. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents’ control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself. If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially parents, into doing things the ways you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.51．The author is primarily addressingA．parents of teenagersB．newspaper readersC．those who give advice to teenagersD．teenagers正确答案：A52．The first paragraph is mainly aboutA．the teenagers’ criticism of their parentsB．misunderstandings between teenagers and their parentsC．the dominance of the parents over their childrenD．the teenagers’ ability to deal with crises正确答案：B53．Teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles because they______.A．want to show their existence by creating a culture of their ownB．have a strong desire to be leaders in style and tasteC．have no other way to enjoy themselves betterD．want to irritate their parents正确答案：A54．Teenagers do not want their parents to approve of whatever they do because they______.A．have already been accepted into the adult worldB．feel that they are superior in a small way to the adultsC．are not likely to win over the adultsD．have a desire to be independent正确答案：D55．To improve parent-child relationships, teenagers are advised to be______.A．obedientB．responsibleC．co-operativeD．independent正确答案：CThe long years of food shortage in this country have suddenly given way to apparent abundance. Stores and shops are choked with food. Rationing is virtually suspended, and overseas suppliers have been asked to hold back deliveries. Yet, instead of joy, there is widespread uneasiness and confusion. Why do food prices keep on rising, when there seems to be so much more food about? Is the abundance only temporary, or has it come to stay? Does it mean that we need to think less now about producing more food at home? No one knows what to expect. The recent growth of export surpluses on the world food market has certainly been unexpectedly great, partly because a strange sequence of two successful grain harvests. North America is now being followed by a third. Most of Britain’s overseas suppliers of meat, too, are offering more this year and home production has also risen. But the effect of all this on the food situation in this country has been made worse by a simultaneous rise in food prices, due chiefly to the gradual cutting down of government support for food. The shops are overstocked with food not only because there is more food available, but also because people, frightened by high prices, are buying less of it. Moreover, the rise in domestic prices has come at a time when world prices have begun to fall,with the result that imported food, with the exception of grain, is often cheaper than the home-produced variety. And now grain prices, too, are falling. Consumers are beginning to ask why they should not be enabled to benefit from this trend. The significance of these developments is not lost on farmers. The older generation have seen it all happen before. Despite the present price and market guarantees, farmers fear they are about to be squeezed between cheap food imports and a shrinking home market. Present production is running at 51 percent above pre-war levels, and the government has called for an expansion to 60 percent by 1956, but repeated Ministerial advice is carrying little weight and the expansion programme is not working very well.56．Why is there “wide-spread uneasiness and confusion about the food situation in Britain?”A．The abundant food supply is not expected to last.B．Britain is importing less food.C．Despite the abundance, food prices keep rising.D．Britain will cut back on its production of food.正确答案：D57．The main reason for the rise in food prices is that ______.A．people are buying less foodB．the government is providing less financial support for agricultureC．domestic food production has decreasedD．imported food is driving prices higher正确答案：B58．Why didn’t the government’s expansion programme work very well?A．Because the farmers were uncertain about the financial support the government guaranteed.B．Because the farmers were uncertain about the benefits of expanding production.C．Because the farmers were uncertain about whether foreign markets could be found for their produce.D．Because the older generation of farmers were strongly against the programmer.正确答案：A59．The decrease in world food price was a result ofA．a sharp fall in the purchasing power of the consumersB．a sharp fall in the cost of food productionC．the overproduction of food in the food-importing countriesD．the overproduction on the part of the main food-exporting countries正确答案：C60．What did the future look like for Britain’s food production at the time this article was written?A．The fall in world food prices would benefit British food producers.B．An expansion of food production was at hand.C．British food producers would receive more government financial support.D．It looks depressing despite government guarantees.正确答案：DI once knew a dog named Newton who had a unique sense of humour. Whenever I tossed out a Frisbee for him to chase, he’d take off in hot pursuit but then seem to lose track of it. Moving back and forth only a yard of two from the toy, Newton would look all around, even up into the trees. He seemed genuinely puzzled. Finally, I’d give up and head into the field to help him out. But no sooner would I get within 10 feet. Of him than he would run invariably straight over to the Frisbee, grab it and start running like mad, looking over his shoulder with what looked suspiciously like a grin. Just about every pet owner has a story like this and is eager to share it with anyone who will listen. On very short notice, TIME reporters come up with 25 stories about what each is convinced is the smartest pet in the world. Among them: the cat who closes the door behind him when he goes into the bathroom; the cat who uses a toilet instead of a litter box. . . and flushes it afterward; the dog who goes wild when he sees his owner putting on blue jeans instead of a dress because jeans mean it is time to play; and the cat who used to wait patiently at the bus stop every day for a little girl, then walk her the six blocks home. And so on. These behaviours are certainly clever, but what do they mean? Was Newton really deceiving? Can a cat really desire privacy in the toilet? In short, do household pets really have a mental and emotional life? Their owners think so, but until recently, animal-behaviour exports would have gone mad on hearing such a question. The worst sin in the worst sin in their moral vocabulary was anthropomorphism, projecting human traits onto animals.A dog or a cat might behave as if it were angry, lonely, sad, happy or confused, but that was only in the eye of the viewer. What was going on, they insisted was that the dog or cat had been conditioned, through a perhaps unintentional series of punishments and rewards, the behave certain way. The behaviour was a mechanical result of the training.61．What did Newton seem puzzled about?正确答案：Not knowing the Frisbee’s track.62．Why does the author say Newton had unique sense of humour?正确答案：Because Newton intended to deceive him.63．What made it possible for the TIME reporters to come up with so many interesting stories about pets?正确答案：That the owners want others to share their stories.64．What belief about pet behaviour was unacceptable to experts of animal behaviour?正确答案：That animals have a mental and emotional life.65．What is the explanation of animal-behaviour experts for the “clever”behaviour of pets?正确答案：Mechanical result of training.ClozeWhen women do become managers, do they bring a different style and different skills to the job?

Richard Herrick was very ill (32) a serious kidney disease. His case seemed hopeless and his death was certain. However, Richard had an (33) twin brother named Ronald. Doctors thought that maybe one of Ronald’s kidneys would (34) for Richard, and (35) a person can live a healthy life with only one kidney, they decided to (36) the operation.

It was accepted and Richard was able to return to a normal healthy (39) .Another important (40) in medical history was 1967. It marked the first transplant of a (41) heart. Dr. Christian Barnard transplanted the heart of a girl who had been (42) in an automobile accident into the body of a middle-aged man with very serious heart disease. This first heart transplant was successful (43) only thirteen days; then the patient’s body reje cted its new heart and he died.

Write the letter of your choice on your Answer Sheet.Passage 1The people who lived in Rome 2,000 years ago were already complaining about the noise in their city. They couldn’t sleep, they said, with all that traffic in the streets. For them, noise was merely a disturbance. For us it has become a real danger. We know that the sounds of an averagecity are loud enough to cause serious dam age to the inhabitants’ hearing—in the United States, one person out of twenty has suffered some hearing loss. And all over the world the situation is getting worse all the time, since noise increases with the population.Noise has also increased enormously in the 20th century with the development of machines. We live surrounded by loud planes, trucks, motorcycles, buses, electric tools, radios, pneumatic drills—that roar day and night up to 90 or 100 decibels. The decibel is the unit used to measure the loudness of sound. A normal conversation reaches 55 decibels, thunder roars at 70 decibels, a jet plane goes to 100 decibels and more, and an ordinary subway train, approaching the station, can be twice as loud as the loudest jet. The average discotheque reaches around 118 decibels. At 120 decibels the ear stops hearing sound, and pain starts.Unfortunately, the human ear does not judge clearly the degree of loudness of a noise. A sound ten decibels louder than another one is felt as twice as loud, when in fact it is ten times louder. Since we cannot measure the increase or decrease of noise, we never know to what danger we are exposed.But it is not only our hearing that is threatened. It has been established that loud noises, over a period of time, cause loss of sleep, anger, and many mental and physical problems. Such problems have been observed among factory workers, prisoners in large prisons, and people who drive heavy trucks, operate pneumatic drills, or go frequently to rock-and-roll concerts.Is there a solution? We do know how to build quieter machines, if the public wants them. But merchants point out that people who buy motorcycles, for instance, prefer the loudest ones because they sound more powerful. Some cities are trying to enforce more strictly their anti-noise laws. In Memphis automobilists are fined fifty dollars for honking; they may lose their right to drive if they do it again. People who carry noisy radios in public places may lose them if they are caught with them.Actually, it will take everybody’s efforts to keep city noises from increasing. Even so, say the experts, in twenty years the cities will be twice as loud as they are today because of the growth of the population. The inhabitants will have to shout to be heard at the dinner table. Unless, of course, they have all become completely deaf.51.

People who have more of a good than they want seek out other people who have something they lack. Through exchange, both parties attempt to make themselves better off. The complications of international trade arise because the two parties use different monies. An American who wants to buy a Japanese automobile cannot expect the Japanese manufacturer to accept U.S dollars in payment, unless by sheer coincidence the manufacturer happens at the time to want to buy a new computer from an American firm. Otherwise the auto manufacturer will be stuck with money that no tempura shop or geisha in Tokyo will accept; in Japan the dollars are useless.Of course, things are rarely as complicated as is suggested above. In both the United States and Japan there are banks that specialize in buying and selling foreign currencies. The sophisticated American would never offer dollars to the Japanese. Instead he would go to his bank and purchase Japanese yen with his dollars, then offer yen in payment for the car. Availability of yen would then make trade with Japan no more complicated than buying groceries at a neighborhood supermarket. But what is the price of yen? This question is more than slightly important. If yen are cheap—if many can be bought for a dollar—then buying Japanese goods will be attractive to Americans, and American goods will be expensive to Japanese buyers.The quantities of goods exchanged between two countries depend on complex forces. Even though unfettered trade might allow the world to consume more, each country is likely to be more concerned about employment and incomes at home than about economist’s assurances of the efficiency of trade. Both countries may therefore try to encourage exports and discourage imports. Obviously, both countries cannot succeed at once.There is another side of the situation for many countries—the developing countries especially, but also small island nations, such as Japan and Great Britain. Their ability to import goods in the future may be as important as economic efficiency and full employment in the present. These countries depend on imports of spare parts, equipment, and raw material to keep their economies operating. Not to have the foreign exchange to buy a new bearing for a steam turbine, or oil, or fertilizer, when the need arises is a risk they simply cannot afford. For this reason, countries, even rich countries, try to keep reserves of foreign currencies around. Just as individuals keep savings to meet emergencies and to cover payments on the television if they are laid off, so do nations attempt to maintain hoards of foreign currencies to cover unexpected events.The price of any foreign currency expressed in the local currency (say, dollars) is thus a major issue. And it is closely tied to the need to maintain reserves and the desire to manage certain aspects of the domestic economy. Over the past two centuries, a number of international monetary systems have been set up to deal with these questions. All have proved inadequate. The interests of some countries inevitably conflict with the interests of others, and so the system collapses. But in spite of its limitations and faults, the international financial system is important to all of us.56. Through exchange, both parties attempt to make themselves better off.A. a gathering of people for food and amusementB. an association of people having the same political aimsC. a group of people doing something togetherD. one of the people o r sides i n an agreement or argumen t57.

Th e city has spread out so far and the traffic has become so heavy that it is very difficult to get from one place to another. The price of land, too, has skyrocketed. All this explains why a group of Japanese land developers came to the conclusion that there was nowhere to go but down. So far they have dug out space underground from fifteen major shopping centers, and the underground construction has only begun.What are some of the advantages of shopping and eating underground? Clean, filtered air is one of them. The city of Tokyo has one of the most serious smog problems in the world. Another advantage is that you escape the ever-present threat of traffic accidents on the city’s busy streets. Still another is the convenience of getting around: You’re usuall y right next to, or even in, a subway station. And you can even spend the night underground if you like. The Kyobashi Station, for example, in downtown Tokyo, has a hotel with a bar, restaurant, and barbershop.All sorts of surprises can be found in the underground world. At the enormous Shinjuku Subway Station you arrive at a scarce item in Tokyo—a parking lot—and you find stores and shops a few steps away. In the second basement of the Toshiba Building is a “Fisherman’s Wharf” crowded with pleasant little seafood places. A tunnel that connects the Hibiya and Sanshin Buildings has a number of art galleries, as well as medical and dental clinics. In between are little coffee shops where you can relax and get refreshments.Probably the most versatile of the underground wonders, and certainly the most complicated to build, is the Yaesu Subcenter at the heart of the city, where four subway lines link up. Its shopping area, which is the size of three football fields, contains 350 stores. In Yaesu you can eat in a different place every day for three months. You can draw money out of a bank and invest it at a stockbroker’s office. There are tailors, watch repairers, furriers, florists, and book sellers. And you can even get arrested by a police officer from the Yaesu police station!Under all the commercial activity is a parking lot for 520 cars. And under that is a control center where TV monitors watch the devices that watch the air—its temperature, moisture, and purity. There is no alarm for earthquakes, which are common in Tokyo, but the experts feel that there would be fewer problems underground than on the surface in case of an earthquake. Yaesu also has emergency generators for power and a chemical system for fighting fire.Underground construction can be complex and expensive. At times, the Yaesu crews could work only three hours a day because their activities interfered with the running of the subway. Then there was the problem caused by finding unidentified water and gas pipes. Since many of the municipal blueprints of pipe systems were destroyed during World War II, strange pipes keptturning up; and work had to be stopped while they were identified and taken care of by detour or replacement.There was also some resistance from the people above ground. A good many neighborhood shopkeepers began to picket the project crying, “Underground is for moles.” They reasoned that they would lose a lot of their business to the underground competition. The Yaesu people countered by offering them a chance to buy stock in the project. There were a lot of takers, and this had the effect of quieting the complainers.The Yaesu builders wanted to go deeper, but after they had spent 31 million dollars, they ran out of money. Still, there seems to be little doubt that there will be further development down under. In a city like Tokyo, almost the only space left is underground.61.

It will be available for hire, a sort of U-FLY-IT laboratory.Unlike a satellite built for a single job, Spacelab can be fitted out as the occasion demands for everything from observing X-rays from distant stars to growing enzymes in zero gravity. Unlike Apollo vehicles, which were good for one trip each, this Spacelab is designed to be used again and again, perhaps 50 times. Unlike earlier space ships, manned by specialized astronauts, Spacelab will have as crews scientists and technicians with just a few weeks’ training in handling the gear they are to operate in the craft.The versatility of Spacelab lies in its flexible design. A space-age adaptation of the “containerized” cargo units used on trailer trucks, railroad flatcars and ships, it consists of two different types of cargo containers that fit into a 60-foot-long enclosed “payload bay”. The bay can hold one or two enclosed modules, each 8.5 feet long and 13 feet in diameter and pressurized so that it provides an interior environment comfortable enough for as many as four technicians to work in side. Or the bay can be filled with up to five open “pallets,” platforms that are not pressurized for human occupancy but are meant simply to support automatic equipment. Most often, of course, Spacelab will carry both types of containers—a module for scientists doing laboratory work alongwith open pallets for automatic instruments exposed to the void of space.A majority of the tests planned inside a gravity-free laboratory involve the processing of materials in space—glass, crystal and metal. The equipment for this work includes a small furnace capable of generating temperatures as high as 2,400℃. With it, scientists hope to determine whether molten metals can be blended into exotic alloys more readily and uniformly outside earth’s gravity, which pulls heavier elements to the bottom of a crucible. Conventional crucibles, which impose their shape on melted material, will not be needed in space. The melt will float freely inside the gravity-free furnace.Many investigations will concentrate on the solar system. One experiment, using special fluids and electrical forces, will simulate the atmosphere of Jupiter, Saturn and the sun to try to understand what makes their cloud and gas patterns behave the way they do. Among biological experiments planned is one to study the effects of weightlessness on human tissue, such as components of blood samples taken from technicians working in the Spacelab. Some scientists have designed a test to see how zero gravity affects the daily growth patterns of plants. If such experiments go as well as anticipated, scientists the world over will find opening up for them a completely new era of research.66.
