They are less likely to fall chronic（长期的）ill when they are older, according to an Austrian scientist. Using census (人口普查) data for more than one million people in Austria, Denmark and Australia, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in the northern German town of Rostock found the month of birth was related to life expectancy（估计寿命）over the age of 50Seasonal differences in what mothers ate during pregnancy, and infections occurring at different times of the year could both have an impact on the health of a new-born baby and could influence its life expectancy in older age. “A mother giving birth in spring spends the last phase of her pregnancy in winter, when she will eat less vitamins than in summer,” said Gabriele Doblhammer, one of a team of scientists who carried out the research. “When she stops breastfeeding and starts giving her baby normal food, its in the hot weeks of summer when babies are prone（容易的）to infections of the digestive system.” In Austria, adults born in autumn lives about seven months longer than those born in spring, and in Denmark adults with birthdays in autumn outlived those born in spring by about four months. In the southern hemisphere, the picture was similar. Adults born in the Australian autumn lived about four months longer than those born in the Australian spring. The study focused on people born at the beginning of the 20th century, using death certificates and census data.56Which of the following is true?AAustria and Denmark are both in the northern hemisphere.BPeople born in autumn live longer than those born in summer.CBoth Austria adults and Australian adults with birthdays in autumn live about four months longer than those born in spring.DThe study is carried out mainly among people born at the end of the 20th century.57Which is not the factor that causes the life expectancy differences between people born in different seasons?AWhat mother eat during pregnancyBInfections occurring at different times of the year.CThe number of vitamins mothers eat during pregnancy.DWeather impact, such as temperature58What might be the best title for the passage?AMothers and new-born baby BLife expectancyCSeasonal difference and life expectancy DAn important researchBHow could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environmentsmostly for entertainment purposesis fair and respectful?Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species name, diet, and natural range. The animals normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos dont usually take care of the animals natural needs.The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangeredCaptive breeding(圈养繁殖) of endangered big cats. Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wildZoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Havent we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals natural habitats.59. What does the underlined word zoochosis mean?Aremain in cagesBbehave strangelyCattack other animalsDenjoy moving around60What does the author try to argue in the passage?AZoos are not worth the public support. BZoos fail in their attempt to save animals.CZoos should treat animals as human beings. DZoos use animals as a means of entertainment.61The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _.Apointing out the faults in what zoos do Busing evidence he has collected at zoosCquestioning the way animals are protected Ddiscussing the advantages of natural habitatsCProfessor Smith recently persuaded 35 people, 23 of them women, to keep a diary of all their absent-minded actions for a fortnight. When he came to analyse their embarrassing lapses ( 差错) in a scientific report, he was surprised to find that nearly all of them fell into a few groupings. Nor did the lapses appear to be entirely random .One of the women, for instance, on leaving her house for work one morning threw her dog her earrings and tried to fix a dog biscuit on her ear. “the explanation for this is that the brain is like a computer,” explains the professor. People programme themselves to do certain activities regularly. It was the womans custom every morning to throw her dog two biscuits and then put on her earrings. But somehow the action got reversed in the programme, About one in twenty of the incidents the volunteers reported were these programme assembly failures,Altogether the volunteers logged 433 unintentional actions that they found themselves doing - an average of twelve each, There appear to be peak periods in the day when we are at our zaniest (荒谬可笑的). These are two hours some time between eight a.m. and noon, between four and six p.m. with a smaller peak between eight and ten p.m. Among men the peak seems to be when a changeover in brain programmes occurs, as for instance between going to and from work. Women on average reported slightly more lapses - 12.5 compared with 10.9 for men m probably because they were more reliable reporters.A surprising finding of the research is that the absent-minded activity is a hazard of doing things in which we are skilled. Normally, you would expect that skill reduces the number of errors we make. But trying to avoid silly slips by concentrating more could make things a lot worse or even dangerous.62. In his study Professor Smith asked the subjects_.A. to keep track of people who tend to forget thingsB. to report their embarrassing lapses at randomC. to analyse their awkward experiences scientificallyD. to keep a record of what they did unintentionally63. We learn from the third paragraph that_.A. absent-mindedness tends to occur during certain hours of the dayB. women are very careful to perform actions during peak periodsC. women experience more peak periods of absent-mindednessD. mens absent-mindedness often results in funny situations64. It can be concluded from the passage that_.A. people should avoid doing important things during peak periods of lapsesB. hazards can be avoided when people do things they are good atC. people should be careful when programming their actionsD. lapses cannot always contributed to lack of concentrationDMore and more TV shows, movies and sporting events are being broadcast in High Definition (HD) -including “Good Morning America.” If you want to join the millions who are already experiencing a superior picture, youll need a High Definition TV (HDTV). But even if youre ready to retire your old TV-or move it into the back bedroom where no one will ever see it-youre bound to have lots of questions before you make an investment in a new drool-worthy HDTV. You might be wondering about hardware, cost and how to actually receive High Definition programming on your set. “GMA” technology contributor Becky Worley offers this instruction to understanding the complicated world of HD.What is HDTV ？High definition TV is a richer transmission of television signals that makes for a more vivid viewing experience. HDTV is to standard TV what FM radio is to AM radio. HDTV is crisp, clear and noise-free, with resolution that is at least twice that of analog (模拟信号)television and CD-quality sound.How Do I Get HDTV ?HDTV signals are broadcast via antennas (天线)in urban areas, and via satellite TV or cable TV. To receive an over-the air HDTV signal, you must live within a certain radius（半径）of an HDTV broadcast antenna and have the proper HDTV tuner (调谐器) or antenna installed in your home. To receive a Cable or Satellite HDTV signal, you must have a proprietary (专利的)HDTV set-top box supplied by your provider.Not all programming is available in HDTV yet, but many network shows and sporting events are currently in HD and many more are converting over.When you watch a DVD on your HDTV, it is not technically HDTV quality, but it will look crisper on your HDTV than on a regular TV.HDTV, HD-Ready TV, and EDTVThere are three major terms that will describe the high-end TV sets that are on sale today :HDTV are TV sets that can receive and process over-the-air HD signals. You may need an antenna to receive the HD signal, but an HD tuner is built into the set and can process the signal without any other equipment. If you want to receive an HD signal from your cable or satellite provider, you will need one of the providers proprietary set-top boxes.HD-Ready TV are TV sets that need an additional piece of hardware to actually receive the HD signal, such as a stand-alone HD tuner (from $250 and up) or the set-top HDTV box provided by your cable or satellite TV company.EDTV stands for Enhanced Digital Television. The visual quality of an EDTV is better than a standard analog TV, but is not as crisp or bright as a true HDTV.65Which of the following best describe the features of HDTV? AIt offers programs with clearer pictures and sound of better quality.BIt offers more interesting and entertaining programs.CIt offers more TV channels and choices of programs.DIt offers program for high technology 66“HDTV is to standard TV what FM radio is to AM radio.” in this passage is .Aan example to show HDTV is different from common TV.Ban example to show the similarity between HDTV and FM radio.Ca comparison to show HDTV is more advanced than common TV.Da comparison to show HDTV is better than FM radio.67As for the meaning of “HDTV” in different places () of this article, which of the following statement is TRUE?Aand carry the same meaning while carries different meaning.Band carry the same meaning while carries different meaning.Cand carry the same meaning while carries different meaning.D, and all carry the same meaning.ESince the beginning of time, man has been interested in the moon. The Romans designed a special day to show admiration and respect to the moon. They called it Moonday, or Monday, as we know it today. Later, the great mind of Leonardo da Vinci studied the moon and designed a machine to carry a human to the moon. Leonardo said that one day a great machine bird would take a person to the moon and bring great honor to the home where it was born.Four and
