For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.In these days of technological triumphs, it is well to remind ourselves from time to time that living mechanisms are often incomparably more efficient than their artificial imitations. There is no better illustration of this idea than the sonar (声纳) system of bats. It is billions of times more efficient and more sensitive than the radars and sonars designed by man. Of course, the bats have had some 50 million years of evolution to refine their sonar.Their physiological mechanisms for echo location, based on all this accumulated experience, therefore deserve our thorough study and analysis. To appreciate the precision of the bats echo locatton, we must first consider the degree of their reliance upon it. Thanks to sonar, an insect - eating bat can get along perfectly well without eyesight. This was brilliantly demonstrated by the Italian naturalist Lazzaro Spallanzani.He caught some bats in a bell tower, blinded them. and released them outdoors. Four of these blind bats were recaptured ,after they had found their ways back to the bell tower,and on examining their stomachs contents, Spallanxani found that they had been able to capture and eat flying insects. We know from experiments that bats easily find insects in the dark of night, even when the insects make no sound that can be heard by human ears. A bat will catch hundreds of softbodied silent flying insects in a single hour. It will even detect and chase pebbles ( 卵石 ) tossed ( 向上扔) into the air. 31. According to the author, the sonar system of bats is an example of the idea that .A) this is the age of technological triumphsB) modern machines are inefficientC) living mechanisms are often more efficient than man - made machinesD) artificial imitations are always less efficient than living mechanisms 32. The author suggests that the sonar system of bats . A) was at the height of its perfection 50 million years ago B) is better than man- .made sonar because it has had 50 million years to be refined C) should have been discovered by man many years ago D) is the same as it was 50 million years ago 33. Echo location in this article means the . A) location of echoes B) ability to determine where an echo comes from C) scientific term for sound waves D) ability to locate unseen objects by echoes34. This article was written to illustrate _. A) the deficiencies of man - made sonar B) the dependence of man upon animalsC) that we are living in a machine age D) that the sonar system of bats is remarkable35. The following is the main point of the article: A) A bat will catch hundreds of insects in a single hour B)There is a perfection in nature which sometimes can not be matched by mans cre ative efforts. C) The phrase blind as a batis valid. D) Sonar and radar systems of man are inefficient. Passage Two Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them. Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding houses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it. People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy. It is estimated that up to 100, 000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades that number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal (残酷的) , has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation (冲突)between hunters and hunt saboteurs(阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the foxs smell, which the dogs follow. Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.36. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes _ . A) for recreation B) in the interests of the farmers C) to limit the fox population D) to show off their wealth37. What is special about fox hunting in Britain? A) It involves the use of a deadly poison. B) It is a costly event which rarely occurs. C) The hunters have set rules to follow. D) The hunters have to go through strict training.38. Fox hunting opponents often interfere in the game _ . A) by resorting to violence B) by confusing the fox hunters C) by taking legal action D) by demonstrating on the scene39. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to _ . A) prohibit farmers from hunting foxes B) forbid hunting foxes with dogs C) stop hunting wild animals in the countryside D) prevent large-scale fox hunting40. It can be inferred from the passage that _ . A) killing foxes with poison is illegal B) limiting the fox population is unnecessary C) hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violent D) fox-hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the richPassage ThreeQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.It was not yet eleven o clock when a boat crossed the river with a. single passenger who had obtained his transportation at that unusual hour by promising an extra fare. While the youth stood on the landing- place searching in his pockets for money, the ferryman (渡船夫)lifted a lantern (灯笼), by the aid of which, together with the newly risen moon, he took a very accurate survey of the strangers figure. He was a young man of barely eighteen years, evidently country bred, and now, as it seemed, on his first visit to town. He was wearing a rough gray coat, which was in good shape, but which had seen many winters before this one. The garments (衣服) under his coat were well constructed of leather, and fitted tightly to a pair of muscular legs; his stockings (长袜) of blue yarn (纱线) must have been the work of a mother or sister, and on his head was a three - cornered hat, which in its better days had perhaps sheltered the graver head of the lad s father. In his left hand was a walking stick, and his equipment was completed by a leather bag not so abundantly (丰富地) stocked as to inconvenience the strong shoulders on which it hung. Brown, curly hair,well - shaped features, bright, cheerful eyes were nature s gifts, and worth all that art could have done for his adornment (装饰). The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boat-man, and then walked forward into the town with a light step, as if he had not already trav eled more than thirty miles that day. As he walked, he surveyed his surroundings as eagerly as if were entering London or Madrid (马德里), instead of the little metropolis (殖民城) of a new England colony. 41.
