Later he used sharp bone and horn， metal knives and more recently， rubber and plastic. And that was where we stuck， in surgical instrument terms， for many years. In the 1960s a new tool was developed， one which was， first of all， to be of great practical use to the armed forces and industry， but which was also， in time， to revolutionize the art and science of surgery.The tool is the laser and it is being used by more and more surgeons all over the world， for a large number of different complaints. The word laser means： Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation （激光）。 As we all know， light is hot， any source of light from the sun itself down to a humble match burning will give warmth. But light is usually spread out over a wide area. The light in a laser beam， however， is concentrated. This means that a light with no more power than that produced by an ordinary electric light bulb becomes intensely strong as it is concentrated to a pinpointsized beam.Experiments with these pinpoint beam shows researchers that different energy source produce beams that have a particular effect on certain living cells. It is now possible for eye surgeons to operate on the back of the human eye without harming the front of eye， simply by passing a laser team right through the eyeball. No knives， no stitches， no unwanted damage a true surgical wonder.Operations which once left patients exhausted and in need of long periods of recovery time now leave them feeling relaxed and comfortable. So much more difficult operations can now be tried.The rapid development of laser techniques in the past ten years has made it clear that the future is likely to be very exciting. Perhaps some cancers will be treated with laser in a way that makes surgery not only safer but more effective. Altogether， tomorrow may see more and more information coming to light on the diseases which can be treated medically.36. Up until the 1960s the instruments used to perform surgical operation were _.A. fashionableB. extraordinaryC. specialD. basic37. After the development of the laser in the 1960s， we find that _.A. medical help became available for industrial workersB. the study of art went through a complete revolutionC. more and more surgeons began using surgical instrumentsD. mans whole approach to surgery changed completely38. Surgeons can now carry out operations which _.A. can be performed successfully only on the human eyeB. result in long periods of recovery time for patientsC. are made much more complicated by using the laser beamD. result in very little damage to the patients themselves39. The rapid development of laser techniques has meant that _.A. in another ten years we shall be able to cure cancerB. surgery is likely to improve considerablyC. we shall be able to treat all the diseases we suffer fromD. we are now able to treat most forms of cancer40. The laser beam is so strong because _.A. it is composed of a concentrated beam of lightB. its heat is increased by the heat of the sunC. it can be plugged into an ordinary light firingD. it sends out heat in many different directionsPassage 2What do we think with？ Only the brain？ Hardly. The brain is like a telephone exchange. It is the switchboard， but not the whole system. Its function is to receive incoming signals， make proper connections， and send the messages through to their destination. For efficient service， the body must function as a whole.But where is the“mind”？ Is it in the brain？ Or perhaps in the nervous system？ After all， can we say that the mind is in any particular place？ It is not a thing， like a leg， or even the brain. It is a function， an activity. Aristotle， twenty-three hundred years ago， observed that the mind was to the body what cutting was to the ax. When the ax is not in use， there is no cutting. So with the mind.“Mind，”said Charles H. Woolbert，“is what the body is doing.”If this activity is necessary for thinking， it is also necessary for carrying thought from one person to another. Observe how people go about business of ordinary conversation. If you have never done this painstakingly， you have a surprise in store， for good conversationalists are almost constantly in motion. Their heads are continually nodding and shaking sometimes so vigorously that you wonder how their necks can stand the strain.Even the legs and feet are active. As for the hands and arms ， they are seldom still for more than a few seconds at a time.These people， remember， are not making speeches. They are merely common folk trying to make others understand what they have in mind. They are not conscious of movement. Their speech is not studied. They are just human creatures in a human environment， trying to adapt themselves to a social situation. Yet they converse， not only with oral language， but with visible actions that involve practically every muscle in the body.In short， because people really think all over， a speaker must talk all over if he succeeds in making people think.41. Which of the following is the best title for this passage？A. Bodily CommunicationB. Bodily ActionsC. Spoken LanguageD. Conversations42. Which of the following statements would the author agree with？A. Thinking is a social phenomenon.B. Thinking is solely a brain function.C. Thinking is a function of the nervous system.D. Thinking is the sum total of bodily activity.43. In communication， it is essential not only to employ speech， but also _.A. to speak directly to the other personB. to employ a variety of bodily movementsC. to be certain that the other person is listeningD. to pay great attention to the other persons behavior44. It can be inferred from the passage that the basic function of bodily activity in speech is to _.A. make the listener feel emotionalB. make the speaker understoodC. strengthen the speakers oral wordsD. convey the speakers implied meaning to the listener45. Which of the following is TRUE？A. The brain is compared to a telephone exchange.B. The mind is an activity of the nervous system.C. Some people remain still while talking to others.D. Many people move their bodies on purpose while talking.Passage 3Censorship is becoming more and more of a dirty word. So persuasive have been the arguments against it， put forward by intelligent， well-meaning and above all articulate （雄辩的） campaigners， that nowadays censorship is hardly found in any state of the US. These people argued that the censorship which had prevailed throughout most of history had resulted in needless interference with， and frustration of， the creative talent of artists and writers.So now we have the opposite situation. But are the effects of this change as beneficial as expected？ To put it bluntly， has the literary market been flooded with hitherto（到目前为止）suppressed masterpieces since censorship was eased？ Oddly enough， rather the opposite is the case， and moreover we now have a situation in which fornication （通奸） and homosexual rape can be displayed on stage in the name of entertainment. The nook and magazine market is awash（覆盖，淹没）with printed filth and the public flocks to buy it.But perhaps I am wrong to be worried by this maybe my disquiet， and that of others like me， is just a hangover from the former more restrictive situation. Many people would argue against us that books， plays and films do not have the power to corrupt.Yet its clear that society does have some conscience about what its members do in the name of entertainment. We would not， for example， allow someone to take his own life as part of a television show （although a recent Hollywood movie was frighteningly realistic in its depiction of TV producers promoting just this event to enhance their audience ratings ）。 We have made such entertainment as bear-baiting， and cockfighting， criminal offenses， because we believe that watching such things tends to deprave （使堕落） and corrupt spectators.The type of censorship we need is， in my view， similar to the laws we have governing the use of alcohol and tobacco.Although we can trace the bad effects of smoking and drinking， we have not prohibited them， but introduced laws which regulate their use， rather than repressing it altogether. In the case of pornography （色情文学）， such registration would not run contrary to liberal principles and should therefore be acceptable to even the most ardent civil libertarians. The rising tide of pornography must be curbed， before it does irreparable damage to the quality of life in our country.46. The people who oppose censorship assume that _？A. censorship is turning into a filthy wordB. censorship is rarely found in the U.S.C. censorship prevents the original gift of artists and writersD. censorship is put forward by intelligent campaigners47. Censorship should become according to the author _.A. something like laws to regulate the pornography in the book and magazine marketB. more flexible as to tracing the bad effects of pornographyC. a relatively new method to control the corruption of plays and filmsD. more effective to allow the publishing
