scientists recently found that rats do, too. most people dont like rats. in many peoples eyes, rats are only bad. but jean decety and his partners at the university of chicago did an experiment. it showed that rats are kind, warm-hearted animals. they can feel each others pain. scientists placed pairs of rats in plastic cages for two weeks. during this time, they got to know each other. then they put one of the rats from each pair into a small container (容器) in the cages. the small container had a door. it was rigged(操纵) to fall to the side when the free rat touched it. many of the trapped rats squeaked(吱吱叫 ) to express their discomfort . the other rats of the pairs could see their suffering friends clearly. in most pairs, the free rats would become very worried about their friends. they kept tryingto save their friends again and again throughout the month. scientists put the rats favourite chocolate in the cages, but the rats didnt eat it until they had saved their friends successfully. scientists also found that female rats tended to act more empathetic than male ones. the results are the first to show that rats take action in response to anothers trouble, decety said. monkeys and chimpanzees (黑猩猩 ) have similar behavior. but unlike those animals, rats can be ready used in laboratory studies. they will help us to learn which parts of the brain lead to empathy and helping behavior and whether empathy is natural.( )31. a person with empathy is often_ . a. kind-hearted b. clever c. active d. strong( )32. why didnt the free rats eat the chocolate at first? a. because they were not hungry at that time. b. because chocolate was not their favourite food. c. because they wanted to save the trapped rats first. d. because they were afraid that the chocolate was bad.( )33. which of the following animals were not mentioned in the article? a. monkeys. b. chimpanzees. c. rats. d. cats.( )34. what does the word discomfort in paragraph 3 mean? a. happiness. b. illness. c. uneasiness. d. anger.(b)everybody has had at least one experience from which he knows the meaning of life. this time, which took place several years ago, but seems as if it just happened. one afternoon several years ago, my brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sisters dress and picked out a beautiful skirt: jane bought this the first time we went to new york, at least 8 or 9 years ago, she never wore it. she was saving it for a special occasion. he said. i guess this was the occasion: it was the funeral of my sister, after her unexpected death. he took the skirt and put it on the bed, with the other clothes we were taking to the funeral. then he closed the drawer and turned to me, dont ever save anything for a special occasion. every day youre alive is a special occasion. im thinking about his words, and theyve changed the way l live my life. im spending moretime with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. whenever possible, life should be a kind of experience to enjoy, not to suffer. someday and one of these days are losing their importance on my vocabulary. if its worth seeing or hearing or doing, i want to see and hear and do it now. ever since that day, i have been trying very hard not to put off, hold back or save anything that would add laughter and color to our lives. every morning when i open my eyes, i tell myself that every day, every minute, every breath, truly is a gift. so cherish every day and find the true meaning of your life.( )35. why did jane buy the beautiful skirt but didnt wear it? a. she waited for a special occasion to wear it. b. she wanted to keep it for someone else. c. she saved it till she grew up. d. she would give it to herself as a gift some day.( )36. what does the underlined word cherish mean? a. treasure. b. waste. c. own. d. save.( )37. which of the following is not the writers attitude(态度) to life? a. spending more time staying with family every day. b. enjoying life and valuing every day. c, . attending social activities as often as possible. d. trying to get along well with friends.( )38. whats the best title for this passage?a. every day is a gift b. my sister jane c. what is the meaningful life like d. the most important time in your life(c) it seems that theres a good reason why dogs are always seen as mans best friend. scientists have found that dogs are the only animals that can read emotions(情感)in faces much like humans. the finding suggests that like an understanding friend, dogs can see if we are happy, sad, pleased or angry. when humans look at a new face, their eyes usually look across the left, falling on the right hand side of the persons face first. a possible reason for this is that the right side of the human face is better at expressing emotions. scientists have now shown that pet dogs also have left gaze b/as(左视偏好), but only when looking at human faces. no other animal has been known to do like this before. dr. kun guo showed 17 dogs pictures of human, dog and monkey faces as well as something else with his team. the dogs eyes and heads show a strong left gaze bias when the animals see human faces. but this did not happen when they were shown other pictures, including those of dogs. guo suggests that over thousands of years living with humans, dogs may have developed the left gaze bias as a way to guess our emotions. recent studies show that the right side of our faces can express emotions better than the left. if true, then it makes sense for dogs and humans to see the right hand side of a face first.( )39. dogs left gaze bias happens when they look at _ a. dogs b. monkeys c. humans d. pictures( )40. why are dogs seen as mans best friend according to the passage? a. because dogs are the closest animals to humans. b. because dogs can read the emotions in humans faces easily. c. because dogs can understand us better when we feel sad. d. because dogs are good at expressing emotions.( )41. the passage mainly wants to tell us that .a. dogs have been mans best friends for thousands of yearsb. humans have a left gaze bias c. the left gaze bias works on dogs d. dogs can read emotions the same as humans(d) why do you study? many students would simply reply: to get good result in the college entrance examination(高考). for several years, many have spoken out against the exams. some say they have turned children into studying machines. others think that one exam cannot possibly demonstrate a students true level of knowledge. so, should the exams be canceled? minister of education yuan guiren doesnt think so. officials and the rich might take advantage if the college entrance examination were called off. and life would be more difficult for poor children. however, we do need to change the exams, yuan said on march 7. he has put an exam reforms at the center of his fourth year in office. i think the exam is a fair way to choose talented people. but it should pay more attention to all-around personal qualities, not just grades, said cui shangyu, a senior 3 student in sichuan. the college entrance examination was restored(恢复)in 1977. from then to 2007, 46.85 million people have entered higher education through the exam. according to survey by the ministry of education, 90 percent of people who participated(参加)believed the college entrance examination could in some way change a persons life, especially for poor students in the countryside. the college entrance examination is not the only way to become a successful person, however, the process of preparing for the exam is a good experience, said shen hui, a math teacher at gaoyou middle school in jiangsu. through it students can learn many things, such as how to deal with stress and how to arrange a learning plan. shen said.( )42. what does demonstrate mean in the first paragraph? a. 隐瞒 b. 证明 c. 提高 d. 揭露( )43. if the college entrance exam were called off, it would be unfair for_. a. the poor b. the officials c. the rich d. the old( )44. cui shangyu said the college entrance examination should pay more attention to a. interests b. personal qualities c. talent d. grades( )45. the writer wrote the passage mainly to_. a. criticize(批评) the college entrance exam b. discuss whether we should cancel the college entrance examination c. encourage the improvement of the college entrance examination d. introduce the history of the college entrance examination四、词汇运用（10分）a.根据汉语提示,在空白处填入一个适当的单词46. the great wall, one of the (奇迹)of the world, attracts great numbers of tourists every year.47. my grandmother is in her （八十多岁），but she can still take care of herself.48. （表扬）children is a good way to make them confident.49. our new english teacher seems much (严格)than the former one.50. it seems that the robot is (完全地)out of control.b.根据短文内容和首字母提示，写出一个完整的单词when teenagers grow older, they begin to understand the world (51) a_ them. they no longer just listen to their parents. they start to have the desire (欲望) to (52) f_answers themselves. and they want to go against the rules set by their parents or teachers.sometimes, they are also confused (困惑的) about (53) t_. they cant make their own (54) c_and decisions in life like adults, but they are not really the children who fully depend on others for their lives.they should be (55) g_ more freedom to deal with different things themselves.五、选词填空（10分）in use ; prepare for; care ;crash against ; get away ; break out ; patient; believe it or not;be made up of; deal with56.kitty is so _ with the young children that she often gets angry.57.the uk _england, scotland, wales and northern ireland.58.they hurried to the factory and _ the problems successfully.59.-can you tell me how long the railway station _?
