scientists suspect that its due to the fact that this race lived on an isolated island with limited resources. take the miniature elephants for example. when elephants first came to the island either by swimming or by some kind of natural land raft, they were probably close to full size. but since there wasnt much to eat, over time smaller elephants lived longer and better. the smaller the elephant was, the less it had to eat to stay strong and healthy. scientists call this the island role, and it can apply to humans as well as animals. given the islands sparse(稀少) food supply, it makes sense that the early humans living there would have evolved (进化) a body size requiring less food to survive. so bigger isnt always better. in the floresiensis, at least, getting smaller was the way to go.41. according to the passage, the fact homo floresiensis are very small is based on_.a. the islanders in the java seab. the human ancestorsc. the unearthed relicsd. a newspaper report42. the underlined word miniature in the first paragraph most probably means_.a. tinyb. activec. rared. wild43. people on the island got so small because_.a. they did not have enough food to eat.b. they gradually developed for lack of food.c. they shared less food with elephants.d. they remained alive as the elephants.44. what might be the most suitable title of the passage?a. the history of short peopleb. short people from a fairy talec. the proofs on short peopled. short people on an isolated island45. according to the passage, getting smaller can make people and animals _a. run quicklyb. live longerc. live weakerd. run slowlybshopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. a man goes shopping because he needs something. his purpose is settled and decided in advance. he knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. all men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. if the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly shows it, and the business of trying it on follows at once. all being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyones satisfaction.for a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. in that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest he can to the article required. no good salesman brings out such a substitute(替代品)impolitely; he does so with skill: i know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? it happens to be the colour you mentioned. few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: “this is the right colour and may be the right size, but i should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.”now how does a woman go about buying clothes? in almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. her shopping is not often based on need. she has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only having a look round. she is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. she will try on any number of things. uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. contrary(相反的) to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. they are always on the lockout for the unexpected bargain. faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro(来回地), often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. it is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.46. according to the passage, when a man is buying clothes, _.a. he buys cheap things, regardless of qualityb. he chooses things that others introducec. he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right thingsd. he buys good quality things, so long as they are not too dear47. what does the passage tell us about women shoppers for clothes?a. they welcome suggestions from anyone.b. women rarely consider buying cheap clothes.c. women often buy things without giving the matter proper thought.d. they listen to advice but never take it.48. what does a man do when he can not get exactly what he wants?a. he buys a similar thing of the colour he wants.b. he usually does not buy anything.c. at least two of his requirements must be met before he buys.d. so long as the style is right, he buys the thing.49. many jokes make fun of women shoppers by saying that_.a. they waste money on inferior(劣质的) goodsb. they should buy only the best clothesc. they are much more sensible than mend. they think of the price of clothes and nothing else50. what is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers?a. the fact that men do not try clothes on in a shop.b. women bargain for their clothes, but men do not.c. women stand up to shop, but men sit down.d. the time they take over buying clothes.c the unwanted disturbing of a mobile phone ringing at a critical moment has led to some famously strong reactions british actor richard grif-fiths，stopped a performance at the national theatre and ordered the offending party to leave judge robert restaino went considerably furtherhe was hearing a session of domestic violence offenders in a court when proceedings were interrupted by rings of a phone “everyone is going to jail unless i get that instrument now,” he shouted over the next two hours，the judge entered a period of “incredible madness”he began by ordering the doors of the court locked，and set the officers to searching for the phone when that failed to find the offending item he ordered each of the defendants(被告) present in the room up to his bench and in turn asked them if they had no idea, he sent each in turn to jail(监狱). all 46 of them when a defendant protested the judges actions were not fair to those who didnt possess the phone，restaino replied：“i know it isnt judges actions caused chaosextra officers had to be drafted into the court to control the crowdand booking officers at the city jail were at full stretch“we were playing twister in here”, one said at the timefourteen of the defendants were shackled(束缚 )in irons and sent to the county jail the judge cooled off and later that afternoon released all 46 the “two hours of viral lunacy（疯狂）”, has probably cost restaino his jobthe commission ruled that he should be removed from his $14,000 jobrestaino now has 30 days to appeal(上诉) his lawyer pointed out that until that moment he had served 11 years as a judge without any disciplinary issues“with the exception of two hourshis record is spotless”51the underlined sentence in the passage means _ awe are just playing games bwe are struggling to control the crisis here cwe can hardly survive the crisis dwere searching casually52why is british actor richard mentioned? ato indicate the disadvantage of mobile phone bto scold the misusage of mobile phone cto provide an excuse for richards offence dto support the opinion above53two hours of viral lunacy will_amake robert pay a large sum of money bmake no difference to robertcmost likely make robert lose his job dmake him world famous54whats the best title of the passage? aphone-rage(狂怒) judge bjudge，prisoner and mobile phone cthe story in court dmobile phone in court 55from the passage we can find_ arobert is always challenging the disciplines brobert is now in jail cjudge is not a well-paid jobdall the defendants didnt follow roberts instructions willinglyd scientists alan mgoldberg and thomas hartung describe recent advances in replacing the use of animals in toxicology(毒物学)testingimprovements in cell and tissue culture technologies，for example，allow a growing number of tests to be performed on human cells alonecomputer models are becoming increasingly complex and many could one day become more accurate than trials in living animals since the late 1990s，huntingdon life sciences-a company that conducts testing of substances on animals conducted by the environmental protection agency and the food and drug administrationhas become a proving ground for aggressive strategies by animal-rights militants （好战分子）at a hearing，a senatecommittee listened to testimony（证词） against huntingdon employees and financial institutions providing services to the companyone experimentation witness at the hearing insisted that any means necessary were justified（辩护） to spare animals lives；he has previously accepted the idea of murder to that end use of animals in testing and in biomedical research continues to be necessary in many instances and is ethically（伦理道德地）preferable to experimenting on humans or giving up cures that could save human livesbut for the sake of people and animals alike，the development and acceptance of animal substitutes deserve enthusiastic support in some instances, substitutes are already thought as good or better than animals，but supervising agencies（监督机构）have yet to catch upin both the european union and the us，scientists and companies wanting to use the new alternative tests complain that regulatory standards for proving a drug or chemical to be safe for humans force the continued use of animalsthus，animal-loving americans might turn to persuading the epa and the fda to speed validation（确认）of new methods so that they can be more widely employedand animal advocates（保护者） who want to influence business could consider investing in the small biotechs and large pharmaceutical（药品的） companies that are working to develop alternatives to animals in research56_ plays a leading role in replacing the use of animals in testing ahuntingdon life sciences bimprovement in technologies canimal-fights militants dscientists alan and thomas57accordingly, the animal-rights militants hold the view that_ aanimals shouldnt be used in toxicology testing banimals should enjoy equal rights with human beings canimals should live wildly and freely dwe should protect animals from being killed casually58from the passage，we can find _ athe use of animals in testing has been stopped abruptly banimal substitutes are not preferable csupervising standards contribute to the continued use of animals in testing donly huntingdon life sciences is accused59whats the main idea of the passage?
