condition, known as el nino, and malaria(疟疾 ).new research shows that malaria cases increase sharply in a south american country a year after an el nino event. however, scientists are not sure why this happens. el nino usually happens every four to seven years. it is caused by a warming of the surface of waters in the pacific ocean. el nino develops when winds near the west coast of the south america become weak. this permits a large mass of warm water from nearby australia to move east along the equator toward the coast of south america. as the water moves east, storms develop, normal winds and ocean water change their directions, which can cause very bad weather around the world. scientists have connected el nino with diseases, such as malaria. the lack of rain caused el nino in some areas of the world results in poor harvest. since the lack of food makes people weak in health, scientists believe that starving people may be unable to resist malaria and other diseases. however, public health experts do not understand why malaria cases increase in the south american country a year after an el nino although people there are not starving. manuel bonner, a public health expert in london says the research did not show dry el nino weather is connected with malaria. one likely cause, he says, is the quick increase of mosquito populations in rainy seasons after an el nino period. he says because malaria cases become fewer in dry el nino years, people may have less resistance to the disease.1. which of the following is the main cause of el nino ?a. storms which develop in the atlanticb. less strong winds near the west coast of south americac. lack of rain in many parts of the worldd. surface waters warming up in the pacific2. malaria cases increase after an el nino probably because_.a. mosquito grow larger in number in rainy seasonb. there are more mosquitoes and the human bodys resistance to malaria becomes weakc. medical service is poord. starving people are not as strong as before3. what would be the best title for the text?a. no el nino, no malariab. from el nino to malariac. el nino and malaria d. el nino with malariaconstant dripping wears

mother, who was 38 satisfied with perfume(香水). 39 , shopping at this time of the year was a most 40 job. people 41 on your feet, pushed you with their shoulders and almost 42 you over in their hurry in order to 43 something cheap ahead of you. partly to have a rest, edith paused in front of a counter, where some beautiful ties were on 44 . they are 45 silk, the shop assistant told her with a smile trying to 46 her to buy one. but edith knew from past 47 that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father. she moved on slowly and then, quite by chance, 48 where a small crowd of men had gathered round a counter. she found some fine pipes on sale and the 49 were very beautiful. edith did not hesitate for long, although her father 50 smoked a pipe once in a while, she believed this was 51 to please him. when she got home, with her small but 52 present hidden in her handbag, it was time for supper and her parents were already 53 table. her mother was in great 54 . your father has at

excited how often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups, and old people wishing they were young again. each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets. childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. if a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. it is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. whats more, life is always giving new things to the child- things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. but a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wished to do; he is repeatedly being told not do something or being punished for what he has wrongly done. when a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. if he spends most of his time playing about in the way he used to as a child, he will go hungry. and if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. if, however, he worked hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the greatest happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.68. according to the second paragraph, the writer thinks _.a. life for a child is fairly easyb. a child is always loved whatever he doesc. if much is given to a child, he must do something in returnd. only children are interested in life69. the main idea of the passage is that _.a. life is not enjoyable since each age had some painsb. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hardc. childhood is the most enjoyable time in ones lifed. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life.70. the paragraph following this passage will most probably discuss _.a. examples of successful young menb. how to build up ones position in societyc. joys and pains of old peopled. what to do when one has problems in life.a young idler, an old beggar. 少壮不努力，老大徒伤悲。 (三)awhen several people look at the same person, it is not unusual for each of them to see different things; when you are alone observing one behavior or a person at two different times, you may see different things. the followings are but some of the factors that lead to these varying perceptions(感知,认识):(1) each persons perceptions of others are formed by his or her own cultural conditioning, education, and personal experiences.(2) sometimes perceptions differ because of what we choose to observe and how we deal with whatve observed. it is not necessarily true that person perception is based on observations of a particular person. your observations may be totally controlled by what others have told you about this person; or you may focus primarily on the situation or role relationship. most people do not use the same yardstick (标准) to measure their parents, their friends, and strangers.(3) sometimes we see only what we want to see or dont see what may be obvious to others because of our own needs, desires, or temporary emotional states. this is a process known as selective perception. selective perception is obviously more difficult when contradictory(矛盾的) information is particularly obvious, but it can be done. when we ignore the stimulus- “hes basically a good boy so what i saw was not shoplifting.” we can reduce the importance of the contradictory information -“all kids get into mischief(顽皮). taking a book from a bookstore isnt such a big deal.” we can change the meaning of the contradictory information- “it wasnt shoplifting because he was going to pay for it later.”1.the first factor given by the author that affects our perception is _a. the abilities of ones auditory and visual sensors.b. cultural background and personal experiences.c. experiences one learns from others d. critical measures taken by other people2. while observing a particular person,_.a. one is likely to take all aspects into consideration b. one pays more attention to his/her advantages.c. children often differ from grown-ups in perception d. one tends to choose certain cues(提示)to look for3.observation of the same person by two people at the same time may differ because _.a. their measuring yardsticks are not the sameb. either of them may be slow to catch informationc. the time for observation is not long enoughd. each of them uses different language to express his/her impressions4.the word “stimulus” in paragraph 4 refers to _.a. something attractive b. selective perceptionc. contradictory information d. shoplifting5. the worst thing in selective perception is that _.a. perceived information runs against your desireb. facts can be totally ignored or distorted(扭曲)c. importance of the contradictory information can be overrated(估计过高)d. the same information may not be dealt with in the same waybdick was a twenty-year-old man. his father was a teacher and taught chemistry in a middle school and his mother worked in a shop. they lived a happy life until his parents died one night when suddenly an earthquake broke out. luckily his sister took him to see their aunt in the city and they did not stay at home. everything was destroyed in the earthquake and the two children got into trouble. thanks to their aunt who was not rich enough, they grew up but they lived a hard life. his sister was so sad that she became a nun (修女). after he finished middle school, he was introduced to an owner of a hotel and began to work there.one day the young man fell to the ground while he was cleaning a window on the second floor. he was sent to the hospital and the doctor looked him over. one of his legs was broken and he had to be in hospital. he said to the nurse, “im a poor man, madam. arrange a third-class ward (安排一个三等病房) for me, please.”“cant anybody help you?”“no, madam,” answered dick. “i have only a sister. shes nun and shes poor, too.”“i dont think so,” the nurse said angrily. “nuns usually marry god. and god is the richest in the world, you know!”“well, then,” dick said with a smile. “please arrange a first-class ward for me and post the bill (账单) to my brother-in-law.”6. dicks parents died _.a. in an accidentb.

newspapers said was caused by emotional problems. his death shocked the public and the incident again brought a serious topic to suicide.zhang was best known globally for his part in the blockbuster film “farewell my concubine”, where he played a homosexual（同性恋的）chinese opera singer. the popular 1993 film won a lot of awards including the world-famous palmed and at the cannes film festival. however, such achievements could not make zhang content with his life. it was reported that long before his death, zhang had been suffering from depression.according to experts, about 5 to 10 percent of people are suffering from depression, some of whom are not even aware of the illness. and 10 to 15 percent of people suffering from depression will be likely to commit suicide.statists（统计学家）also show suicide is the leading cause of death among young adults. it leads to 3.6 percent of all deaths each year in china, a survey said. last year, 287000 chinese died after committing suicide. the female rate is 25 percent higher than the male rate. for this reason, the media must let people know the negative（负面的）influence of zhangs tragedy in its reporting. it is shameful to talk too much about his death. although his achievements in arts were great, his final choice cannot be praised, let alone calling his death a “perfect end” to a shining life.the media should guide people especially zhangs fansto shake off their sorrow quickly, learn a lesson from their idols tragedy, find a release from the pressure of their lives and value their priceless lives.1why on earth did zhang choose to kill himself in such a way?abecause he was not as popular as he was before. bbecause he was disappointed at his life.cbecause he suffered from high pressure from his fans. dbecause he dropped out of the hotel accidentally.2what does the word “blockbuster” in the second paragraph probably mean?amost popular.bvery interesting. cordinary.dboring.3whats the best title of the passage?athe end of a famous star. bdepression causes deaths. chow to face suicide. da perfect end of life.bcolour helps you see things. but man and some monkeys and apes (猿) are the only mammals (哺乳动物) that can see colour. to any other mammal, such as the dog, the world looks like a black-and-white photo. dogs hunt mainly by listening and sniffing (闻).like other animals, dogs see best when things move, the animals they hunt seem to know this. a hunted rabbit or deer will “freeze”. then the dog may not see it at all. birds can see colour. they need to, because they fly and need to find places to land. colour helps them judge distance and shape. in this way they are able to catch bugs (昆虫) in the air or to light on branches. some birds see things even better than you do. the birds that eat bugs can see them from far away. and even a very young bird can see a hawk high in the sky. so sharp eyes and a sense of colour help birds find food and also help them find where their enemies are.4. _ can see colour.a. all the animalsb. all the mammalsc. man and dogsd. birds and monkeys5. in order to find their food, dogs mainly use their _.a. eyes and noses b. ears and nosesc. eyes and earsd. mouths and ears6. the word “freeze” in the passage means _.a. the hunted a
