The warning: The suns summertime rays are more dangerous than once thought.A team of scientists from 80 nations recently reported to the United Nations that a layer of ozone in the atmosphere, which protects humans from harmful levels of ultraviolet radiation, will be thinner over the United States this summer. The thinner layer allows more ultraviolet rays from the sun to reach earth. The extra amount of ultraviolet radiation could caused an increase in the number of cases of skin cancer.Scientists first became concerned about the ozone layer in the mid-1980s when a hole was discovered in the layer above Antarctica during the winter. The hole was caused by chemicals used in refrigerators and air conditioners. When these chemicals are sent out into the atmosphere, they produce gases that destroy the ozone.Concern about the protective ozone layer rose more recently when data from satellites and ground stations showed that ozone levels were dropping over areas other than Antarctica. Low ozone levels were recorded in the spring and summer over the United States and over other populated areas in the world.Although many countries have already begun stopping the use of ozone-destroying chemicals, the new findings are expected to advance the timetable for a total ban of the chemicals1. The scientists have observed the ozone layer _A_-.A. since 1980B. since last winterC. for more than 10 yearsD. for about one year2. The ozone layer in the atmosphere can _D_.A. do a lot of good to human beings in many waysB. protect humans from diseases caused by bad weatherC. do a lot of harm to human beings in the summertimeD. protect humans from harmful levels of ultraviolet radiation3. Scientists first found that there was a hole in the ozone layer _B_.A. above Arctic during the winter in the mid-1980sB. above Antarctica during the winter in the mid-1980sC. over somewhere in the north of the equator in 1980sD. over the U. S. A. in the summertime in the mid-1980s4. The damage to the ozone layer was caused by_B_.A. the changeable weatherB. ozone-destroying chemicalsC. chemicals from refrigeratorsD. chemicals from air conditioners5. Which of the following is Not true? AA. The use of ozone-destroying chemicals have already been stopped.B. The ozone levels in the spring and summer over U. S. A. were low.C. More and more people have begun to protect the natural surroundings.D.

Or is the bee just a machine, unable to do its mathematics and dance its language in any other way? To use Dondald Griffins term, does a bee have “awareness”, or to use a phrase I like better, can a bee think and imagine?There is an experiment for this, or at least an observation, made long ago by Karl von Firsch and more recently confirmed by James Gould in Princeton. Biologists who wish to study such things as bee navigation, language, and behavior in general have to train their bees to fly from the hive to one or another special place. To do this, they begin by placing a source of sugar very close to the hive so that the bees (considered by their trainers to be very dumb beasts) can learn what the game is about. Then, at regular interval, the dish or whatever is moved progressively farther and farther from the hive, in increments (增加量) of about 25 percent at each move. Eventually, the target is being moved 100 feet or more at a jump, very far from the hive. Sooner or later, while this process is going on, the biologist shifting the dish of sugar will find the bees are out there waiting for them, precisely where the next position had been planned. This is an uncomfortable observation to make.6. The best title for the passage is _C_.A. Teaching the Bees to NavigateB. Testing the Awareness of BeesC. Navigational Techniques of BeesD. Behaviorists Versus Biologists: A Zoological Debate7. The word “awareness” in paragraph 1 appears in quotation marks in order to _C_.A. show the authors preference for the termB. indicate that it is being used humorouslyC. acknowledge Donald Griffins previous use of the termD. point out that it was used differently earlier in the passage8. In the second paragraph Karl von Frisch is mentioned _A_. A. to introduce his observation on bee behaviorB. to contrast his theories with those of James GouldC. acknowledge Donald Griffins previous use of the termD. point out that it was used differently earlier in the passage9. According to the author, sugar was used in the study _B_.A. to reward the bees for performing the experiment correctlyB. to train the bees to travel to a particular placeC. to ensure that the bees knew where the hive wasD. to ensure that the bees would obey the orders10. The result of the experiment explained in the passage seems to indicate that _D_.A. research using bees is too dangerous to be conducted successfullyB. bees are unable to navigate beyond 100 feet their hiveC. scientists can teach bees to navigateD. bees are able to perform limited reasoning tasks大学体验英语3模拟试题B卷Part I Fill in the blanks（每题2分，共60分）1Cancer is second only _B_ heart disease as a cause of death.A. of B. to C. with D. from 2They are considering _A_ before the prices go up.A. of buying the house B. with buying the house C. buying the house D. to buy the house 3 The dying soldier had the message _A_ straight to the commander.A. sent B. be sent C. to be sent D. being sent 4There is not the _A_ doubt about what he said.A. slightest B. smallest C. weakest D. thinnest5 _A_ had Jane reached school than the bell rang.A.

It is the most traditional American holiday. The first Thanksgiving was held in Massachusetts in 1621.After a year of great hardship, the colonists wanted to give thanks to God for their first harvest. They invited their Indian friends to join them in a big feast. Today the holiday is still celebrated as a day for giving thanks.
