Once a mountain lion killed a thirteen - year- old boy. The town offered a reward of thousand dollars for anyone who would kill the lion. One day an excited hunter came to the town to say that he had killed the mountain lion. As proof that he had killed the right animal, he showed a ball of human hair. He said he had taken the hair from the stomach of the mountain lion. However, another hunter soon showed up to claim (索要) the reward. He too had a ball of human hair that he said he had taken from the dead lion s stomach. The town did not know which man to pay. Maybe neither one had killed the right mountain lion. To settle the argument, they decided to turn the whole thing over to Dr. Hausman. Dr. Hausman studied the hair and reported that the second hunter should be paid. The hair in the stomach of the mountain lion he had killed matched the hair of the boy. The whole town was relieved to know for sure that the killer had been found. There are other kinds of detectives who do not wear a uniform, like Hausman, solve endless mysteries every year. There is, for example, the dust detective. Tiny bits of dust stick to your clothes, your fingernails, your hair, or your shoes. They catch in your nose and in your ears. They tell where you have been and what you have done lately. The dust detective often helps catch a criminal by proving that he has been on the scene of the crime (罪案) . Then there is the wood detective. By studying a piece of wood he can tell what kind of tree the piece of wood came from. He can tell where it was grown, and how old it is. He can even tell you what the weather was like at a certain place the year Columbus landed in America. The growth rings on a tree tell him. 56. According to the selection, by studying a piece of wood, a wood detective can tell you _. A. what the weather was like the year Columbus landed in America B. what the weather was like last year in the mountain C. what the weather was like last month in your hometown D. what kind of tree the piece of wood came from 57 . Endless mysteries are solved every year by _. A. detectives who like Hausman B. detectives like Hausman C. other kinds of detectives who like Hausmam D. detectives Dr. Hausman likes 58. What does the underlined word “they“ (para. 5) mean? A. Your clothes. B. Your finger - nail. C. Tiny bits of dust. D. Your shoes. 59. It is implied in the selection that it is most important for a criminal _. A. to prove that he has been on the scene of the crime B. to prove that he has not been on the scene of the crime C. to tell the detective what he has done lately. D. to show the detective his nose and his ears B A good hearing memory will help your child do better in school. Your child s hearing ability is normal. Yet, he may seem to be very poor at remembering and understanding what he s heard at school. Why should this be? Its because hes not using his hearing ability to help him remember and understand what hes been taught. Some children get into the habit of learning and remembering things by what they hear. Theyve got good hearing memories. Other children find it easier to learn and remember things by what they see. Theyve got good seeing memories. Some children have equally good ability at both seeing and hearing in learning things. Others, less fortunate, seem to have poor hearing and seeing memories. Most children, Id say, unknowingly prefer one method over the other for learning and remembering. But this favoring of one sense over the other is a bad habit and deprives (使不能) the child of the full use of his natural senses. Mrs. Alien was clearly incredulous when I told her there was nothing wrong with her son s hearing. “But he never seems to really understand what he hears, thats what his teachers tell me,“ she said. “My psychological examination of William shows hes weak in his hearing memory,“ I said, “but he has perfectly normal intelligence and can learn in school.“ “ Our family doctor examined William and he says the boy s hearing was all right. So, that proves youre right on that point,“ admitted Mrs. Alien. “So how can we help him? My husband and I will do anything you say, Dr. Dursteln. “ “You can do a lot to improve Williams hearing memory, but itll take time. You must be patient and not expect results immediately. “ I cautioned. I suggested a detailed program for the parents to use at home. I told Mrs. Alien to come back and see me every two weeks so that I could guide her in any problem she had in using my program. 60. Those who have poor hearing memories _. A. can not hear sounds clearly B. are poor at remembering and understanding what they have learned C. are poor at learning things by what they have heard D. have the habit of learning things by what they have heard of 61.The author suggested that Mrs. Alien try some ways _. A. to train her sons hearing memory B. to make use of her sons natural senses C. to make good use of what her son heard D. to understand the trouble in which her son was involved 62. In paragraph 4, the underlined word “incredulous“ means _. A. unbelieving B. believable C. believing D. incredibly 63. Which of the following is true? A. Good hearing memory will not help your child do better in school. B. Some children get into the habit of learning and remembering things by what they hear. C. The favoring of one sense over the other is not a bad habit. D. The author didnt suggest a detailed program for the parents to use at home with William. C The word conservation has a thrifty (节俭) meaning. To conserve is to save and protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such good condition that others may also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers (祖先) had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw (原始) materials; most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea that the treasures were “limitless and “inexhaustible“. Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated (复杂), and delicate system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in a living body, an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the others. Fifty years ago nature study was not part of the school work; scientific forestry was a new idea; timber was still cheap because it could be brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction (破坏) and river floods were not national problems; nobody had yet studied long- term climatic cycles in relation to proper land use; even the word “conservation“ had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today. For the sake of ourselves and those who will come after us, we must now set about repairing the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservation should, therefore, be made a part of everyone s daily life. To know about the water table in the ground is just as important to us as a knowledge of the basic arithmetic formulas. We need to know why all watersheds need the protection of plant life and why the running current of streams and rivers must be made to benefit the soil fully before they finally escape to the sea. We need to be taught the duty of planting trees as well as of cutting them. We need to know the importance of big, mature trees, because living space for most of mans fellow creatures on this planet is figured not only in square measure of surface but also in cubic volume (立方) above the earth. In brief, it should be our goal to restore as much of the original (原始) beauty of nature as we can. 64. The authors attitude towards the present situation in the use of natural resources is _. A. positive (支持) B. neutral (中立) C. suspicious （怀疑） D. critical (批评) 65. According to the author, the greatest mistake of our forefathers was that _. A. they had no idea about scientific forestry B. they had little or no sense of environmental protection C. they did not know the importance of nature study D. they had no idea of how to make good use of raw materials 66. With a view to correcting the mistakes of our forefathers, the author suggests that _. A. we plant more trees B. we be taught environmental science, as well as the science of plants C. environmental education be directed toward everyone D. we return to nature 67. What does the author imply by saying “living space is figured also in cubic volume above the earth“(paragraph 3)? A. Our living space on the earth is getting smaller and smaller in volume. B. Our living space should be measured in cubic volume. C. We need to take some measures to protect space in volume. D. We must create better living conditions for both birds and animals. D Cultural differences in business entertaining include problems such as whom one entertains and where, and how one entertains. In countries where status (地位) is important, it is not advisable to invite people of different statuses to the same dinner party. Americans will often invite people to their homes. However in some societies the home is considered too private, unworthy, or too small to serve as a proper place for business entertaining. In some countries there is a “help yourself“ method of entertaining done in the home. This method does not work well when entertaining people whose culture teaches them to wait to be asked three times before accepting an offer of food. In one instance, a Chinese guest went hungry all the evening without eating though he was quite hungry because he was too shy to take food after only being asked to do so once. In another case, an American woman executive(负责人) was being entertained in London. After having the tea served, the American woman helped herself to cream and sugar rather than waiting to be served. The English hostess was upset by the thought that she was not serving quickly enough. As a general rule, a small gift from your home country is OK. A gift that is tied to the particular interest of the person is especially good. Gifts for children are also well received. Be careful that the “hometown“ gift you are bringing to Singapore was not made in Hong Kong. Because many gifts carry symbolic meanings, it is always best to seek the advice of a cultural informant before selecting gifts. The giving of large gifts, or payments for special service, should only be carried out after talking with legal department in the home and host culture. 68. It is no good inviting people of different social positions to the same party in the country where A. people dont pay any attention to your positions B. people care much about their statuses C. entertainment is important D. entertainment is not advisable 69. The Chinese guest is taken for an example to show _. A. that offering food should not be made too early B. a “help yourself“ method does work well in this case C. that accepting an offer of food should be made later D. a “help yourself“ method does not work well in some cases 70. The passage infers that American women like _. A. a “help yourself“ method B. waiting to be served C. a slow service D. cream and sugar 71 . _ is especially proper. A. A big gift B. Large payment as a gift C. A small gift from ones home D. A gift from Singapore E Everyone knows that the French are romantic, the Italian are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Or do they? Are these just stereotypes(陈规) or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail? At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (实业家) in the UK found that 70 percent felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒). As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood”. Jealousy is sometimes known as the “ green-eyed monster(怪物) and the UK is its home. Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. Some were given a little, others a great deal. Those given a little money were given the chance to destroy the large amounts of money given to others-but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this. This seems to prove the entrepreneurs were right to complain. But there is also conflicting evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) recently reported that the UK was now the worlds fourth largest economy. That is not bad for peop
