Inoneof the wards a patient, an old man, got up shakily from his bed and moved towards me. I could see that he hadnt long to(31) _, but he came up to me and placed his right foot close mine on the floor. “Frank！” I cried in astonishment. He couldnt(32)_, as I knew, but all the time(33)_ his foot against mine. My(34) _ raced back more than thirty years to the(35) _ days of 1941, when I was a student in London. The(36) _was an air-raid shelter, in which I and about hundred other people slept every night. Two of the regulars were Mrs. West and her son Frank.(37)_wartime problems, we shelter-dwellers got to(38)_each other very well. Frank West(39) _ me because he wasnt(40)_, not even at birth. His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had(41) _of a mind than a baby has. His “(42) _” consisted of rough soundssounds of pleasure or anger and(43)_ more. Mrs. West, then about 75, was a strong, capable woman, as she had to be, of course, because Frank(44)dependedon her entirely. He needed all the(45)_ of a baby. One night a policeman came and told Mrs. West that her house had been flattened by a 500-pounder. She(46)_nearly everything she owned. When that sort of thing happened, the rest of us helped the(47)_ ones. So before we(48)_that morning, I stood beside Frank and(49)_ my right foot against his. They were about the same size. That night, then, I took a pair of shoes to the shelter for frank. But as soon as he saw me he came running and placed his right foot against mine. After that, his(50)_ to me was always the same. 31Awork Bstay Clive Dexpect32Aanswer Bspeak Csmile Dlaugh33Acovering Bmoving Cfighting Dpressing34Aminds Bmemories Cthoughts Dbrains35Abetter Bdark Cyounger Dold36Acave Bplace Csight Dscene37ADiscussing BSolving CSharing DSuffering38Alearn from Btalk to Chelp Dknow39Aneeded Brecognized Cinterested Dencouraged40Anormal Bcommon Cunusual Dquick41Amore Bworse Cfewer Dless42Aword Bspeech Csentence Dlanguage43Anot Bno Csomething Dnothing44Afed Bkept Clived Ddepended45Aattention Bcontrol Ctreatment Dmanagement46Alost Bneeded Cdestroyed Dleft47Atroublesome Bunlucky Cangry Dunpopular48Aseparated Bwent Creunited Dreturned49Apushed Btried Cshowed Dmeasured50Anodding Bgreeting Cmeeting Dacting第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）AGrown-ups know that people and objects are solid. At the movies, we know that if we reach out to touch Tom Cruise, all we will feel is air. But does a baby have this understanding?To see whether babies know objects are solid. T. Bower designed a method for projecting an optical illusion(视觉影像)of a hanging ball. His plan was to first give babies a real ball, one they could be expected to show surprised in their faces and movements, 54 All the 16 to 24-week-old babies tested were surprised when they reached for the illusion and found that the ball was not there.Grown-ups also have a sense of object permanence. We know that if we put a box in a room and lock the door, the box will still be there when we come back. But does a baby realize that a ball that rolls under a chair does not disappear and go to never-never land?Experiments done by Bower suggest that babies develop a sense of object permanence when they are about 18 weeks old. In his experiments, Bower used a toy train that went behind a screen. When 16-week-old and 22-week-old babies watched the toy train disappear behind the left side of the screen, they looked to the right, expecting it to re-appear. If the experiment took the train off the table and lifted the screen, all the babies seemed surprised not to see the train. This seems to show that all the babies had a sense of object permanence. But the second part of the experiment showed that this was not really the case. The re-searcher substituted(替换) a ball for the train when it went behind the screen. The 22-week-old babies seemed surprised and looked back to the left side for the train. But the 16-week-old babies did not seem to notice the switch(更换).Thus, the 16-week-old babies seemed to have a sense of “something permanence,” while the 22-week-old babies had a sense of object permanence related to a particular object.51.The passage is mainly about . A.babiessense of sight B.effects of experiments on babies C.babiesunderstanding of objects D.different tests on babiesfeelings52.In Paragraph 3, “object permanence” means that when out of sight ,and object .A.still exists B.keeps its shape C.still stays solid D.is beyond reach53.What did Bower use in his experiments?A.A chair B. A screen C.A film D.A box54. Which of the following statements is true?A.The babies didnt have a sense of direction.B.The older babies preferred toy trains to balls.C. The younger babies liked looking for missing objectsD.The babies couldnt tell a ball from its optical illu-sion.B The Three Gorges (三峡)Dam, the largest dam in the world ,is also the largest engineering project on the face of the earth. It aims to make the mother of all floods, the Changjiang River, into a tame river and it will be the largest power source for much of eastern and central China.It will create a huge, deep-water lake, and make it possible for 10,000 ton ocean going ships to sail 15,000 miles inland from the Pacific to the city of Chongqing with its 30 million people, making it the words largest river port.Construction has already started. The dam will be a-bout 6,860 feet long and 611 feet high, at a spot called Sandouping near Yichang.After many years of investigation(调研)experts have drawn a conclusion that this grand project will do a great deal of good. The most important thing is flood control .By building a dam instead of new coal plants to meet its growing demand for electricity, China will give off much less poisonous gases into the air.However, some scientists dont agree to the project. They say that Chongqing and dozens of other cities along the river will put much waste into the reservoir(水库),which can do harm to people, fish and other living things that depend on the river. Sedimentation(沉积)and damage of a breach (决口)are problems,too.The Three Gorges Dam could be considered, when it is finished in 2009,a new eighth wonder of the world as to the size alone.55. Which is not the purpose to build such a huge dam?A.To make electricity. B.To prevent floods.C.To improve navigation(运输) D.To make it a wonder.56. Where does the dam lie ?A.Near Chongqing. B.Near Yichang. C.In the Three Gorges D.In Wuhan.57. It will take about to complete the dam.A.eight years B.more than ten yearsC.half a century D.more than twenty years.58. Some scientists fear that .A.when the dam is built, the balance of nature may be destroyedB. sedimentation may occur C.a breach may cause millions of people to die or to be homelessD.electricity will not be as much as expected59. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT right?A.When finished, the dam will be one of the main bases of power source of China. B.People have different ideas about the setting up of the dam C.It will take many years to build the dam because people want to see whether it will be safe and strong enough. D.Chongqing will become the largest river port in the world when the dam is finished.CForeigners are likely to acquire(获得)more investment opportunities in china since the central government has passed a fresh regulation to Tuesday to attract foreign capital(资本)The regulation, which will take effect on April 1, out-lines how china will expand co-owned enterprises re-form(企业改革)According to the regulation, overseas investors are expected to become shareholders in the key state-owned enterprises. Overseas investors will even allowed to hold the controlling stake(控股)in the large state-owned enterprises, except for those of key importance to national or economic security. “Chinas WTO membership has reduced the risks and costs for foreign investors, and more capital and advanced techniques and expert knowledge or skill are expected to flown in,”an official said.In particular, the new regulation appeals(makes an ear-nest request) for capital for agricultural technology, transportation, energy and new material industry, The service industry, including banking, will gradually become another focal point of co-operation.The country hopes foreign investors start businesses in the western regions, where they will enjoy more favourable taxation policies for the nest 10years.60.
