( )40.it is suggested in paragraph 4 that cats and dogs _.a. have common interestsb. are less different than was thoughtc. have a common body language d. are less intelligent than was expected( )41.what can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?a. we should learn to live in harmony. b. we should know more about animals. c. we should live in peace with animals. d. we should learn more body languages. dcenturiesago,italianscientistgalileolookedupatthestarryskyandnoticedsomethingstrange. with the eyes, venus(金星) appeared larger than jupiter(木星). but when he looked through a telescope(望远镜), jupiter appeared much bigger. how can this be possible? but nobody could explain galileos problem, until now! to solve the mystery, some scientists from the state university of new york college set up an experiment. they recorded the human brain, which is full of neurons(神经细胞)。they showed people three different types of objects(物体): dark shapes on a light background(背景); light shapes on a dark background; and both light and dark shapes on a gray background. humans see through two ways: neurons sensitive(敏感于) to light, known as “on” neurons; and neurons sensitive to dark, “off” neurons. they found that the “on” neurons changed the objects in peoples eyes. this makes a light-colored object on a dark background appear larger but a little unclear, while a dark object on a light background appears smaller but clear. the scientists believe this may have been an advantage to humans in ancient times, who needed to see objects in the dark, such as dangerous wild animals. it also puts an end to galileos problem. when we look up at the sky, venus looks bigger than jupiter because its lighter. the “on” neurons in our eyes make it look a lot bigger than jupiter. but with the telescope, we get the truth. so we know why it is easier to read black letters on white paper, rather than white letters on black paper. ( )42. who found the answer to galileos problem? a. some italian scientists. b. some american scientists. c. galiles students d. some scientists from the uk. ( )43. which picture explains how people see the venus at night?a.b. c. d. ( )44. what can “on” neurons do with the objects in peoples eyes? a. it makes a light-colored object on a dark background appear larger. b. it makes a light-colored object on a dark background appear clear. c. it makes a dark object on a light background appear larger. d. it doesnt change anything. ( )45. which of the following is true? a. jupiter is larger than venus. b. jupiter is lighter than venus. c. people like white letters on black paper. d. galileo would rather watch with his own eyes instead of the telescope. 四、词汇应用（20分）a）阅读下面短文，然后根据括号内所给汉语意思写出单词的正确形式when i moved to the house last _46_(冬天), it _47_(看起来好像) there was no one in the neighbors house because i didnt see the light even in the evening. therefore, i was quite surprised when mrs. brown got _48_ (外出)of her house the next spring. i thought i should pay a visit to her. _49_(若干)days later, i visited mrs. brown after i got _50_(家)from work. we talked for long hours that day. she was a lonely old woman whose husband was an _51_(极好的)captain of a ship but died of heart disease seven _52_(月)ago. her only friend was a grey _53_(兔子). mrs. brown was nice and i liked her. _54_(尽管)she was much older than me, we still became good friends. from then on, she _55_(大笑)more often. b) 阅读下面短文,按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词，或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。as we all know british love queues, but there is no real line-up(队列) in a bar ,and the bar workers do know whose turn it is. but there are still some _56_(rule). for example, dont speak_57_ (loud). and whatever you do, please dont ring the bell hanging behind the counter(柜台)-this is used _58_the boss to tell people its closing time. remember if you look too _59_(please) and happy, the bar workers will think _60_ have served you. in a british bar always say please and try to remember the things _61_the british bar workers hate. for example, they dont like people to keep others waiting when they cant decide what _62_(drink). they dont like people standing against the bar when there are a lot of customers waiting for service. one tourist who spent half a year_63_ （interview） 50 bosses and more than 1,000 customers said, i cannot understand how the british are _64_ to buy themselves a drink. but they do, and if you follow these rules you should be able to do so, too. talking of tips(小费), you should _65_offer the bar workers a cash gratuity(现金小费). the correct behavior is to invite them to drink something. if so, they will think that their work is worthy. a cash gratuit
