the 22 very well I was on the 23 after I had made some inquiries 询问 At Ashvelle there was a crossroad where I could go on along the main road or I could take a short cut The short cut was to 24 several hills and was dangerous I hesitated for a little while and then chose the main road for I wanted to be 25 Something strange happened after I drove a long 26 and found it was not the correct road that I wanted to 27 but the hilly road I decided to avoid I realized that it was at the 28 that I had made the 29 mistake What shall I do I asked myself If I went back to take that road again it would be very late by the time I got to Columbia Thin it 30 I decided to go on If 31 people can go along this road why can t I I 32 myself The short cut to my surprise was not that 33 In fact it was

Elephants can They can use their sense of vision and smell to tell the difference between people who pose a threat and those who do not In Kenya researchers found that elephants react differently to clothing worn by men of the Maasai and Kamba ethnic groups Young Maasai men spear animals and thus pose a threat to elephants Kamba men are mainly farmers and are not a danger to elephants In an experiment conducted by animal scientists elephants were first presented with clean clothing or clothing that had been worn for five days by either a Maasai or a Kamba man When the elephants detected the smell of clothing worn by a Maasai man they moved away from the smell faster and took longer to relax than when they detected the smells of either clothing worn by Kamba men or clothing that had not been worn at all Garment color also plays a role though in a different way In the same study when the elephants saw red clothing not worn before they reacted angrily as red is typically worn by Maasai men Rather than running away as they did with the smell the elephants acted aggressively toward the red clothing The researchers believe that the elephants emotional reactions are due to 用心 爱心 专心4 their different interpretations of the smells and the sights Smelling a potential danger means that a threat is nearby and the best thing to do is run away and hide Seeing a potential threat without its smell means that risk is low Therefore instead of showing fear and running away the elephants express their anger and become aggressive 41 According to the passage which of the following statements is true about Kamba and Maasai people A Maasai people are a threat to elephants B Kamba people raise elephants for farming C Both Kamba and Maasai people are elephant hunters D Both Kamba and Maasai people traditionally wear red clothing 42 How did the elephants react to smell in the study A They attacked a man with the smell of new clothing B They needed time to relax when smelling something unfamiliar C They became anxious when they smelled Kamba scented clothing D They were frightened and ran away when they smelled their enemies 43 What is the main idea of this passage A Elephants use sight and smell to detect danger B Elephants attack people who wear red clothing C Scientists are now able to control elephants emotions D Some Kenyan tribes understand elephants emotions very well B B The common cold is the world s most widespread illness which is probably why there are more myths 神话 想象 about it than any of the other illnesses The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold They are not They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person You catch a cold by coming into contact directly or indirectly with someone who already has one If cold causes colds it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever But they do not And in isolated Arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected 感染的 people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes At the Common Cold Research Unit in England volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time After taking hot baths they put on bathing suits allowed themselves to be doused 浸入 with cold water and then stood about dripping 滴干 wet in drafty 通风的 rooms Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose If cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds why are they more frequent in the winter In spite of the most painstaking research no one has yet found the answer One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on 用心 爱心 专心5 No one has yet found a cure for the cold There are drugs and pain suppressors such as aspirin but all they do is to relieve the symptoms 44 The fact that the Eskimos don t suffer colds shows that A colds are really full of myths B viruses are the factors causing colds C colds are more severe than other illnesses D the idea that cold leads to colds doesn t stand up 45 The experiments mentioned in Paragraph 3 made it clear that A being doused with cold water did harm to one s body B taking hot baths made the volunteers easy to be tired C it was viruses not wet and cold that made people have colds D people who would like to exercise in the rain got colds more easily 46 According to the passage colds are commonly seen in winter because A there is great difference between indoor and outdoor temperature B viruses can go into people s warm bodies more easily in winter C staying together indoors makes it easier for viruses to pass on D people are usually weak because of the extreme cold in winter 47 What does the passage mainly discuss A The reason and the way people catch colds B The continued spread of colds C The experiments on colds D The myths about colds C C After giving a talk at a high school I was asked to pay a visit to a spe cial student An illness had kept the boy home but he had expressed an interest in meeting me I was told it would mean a great deal to him so I agreed During the nine mile drive to his home I found out something about Matthew He had muscular dystrophy 肌肉萎缩症 When he was born the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five and then they were told he would not make it to ten Now he was thirteen He wanted to meet me because I was a gold medal power lifter and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams I spent over an hour talking to Matthew Never once did he complain or ask Why me He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams Obviously he knew what he was talking about He didn t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different He just talked about his hopes for the future and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me When we had finished talking I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would He looked at it for a moment then took it off and handed it back to me He said You are a champion You earned that medal Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal I will show it to you Last summer I received a letter from Matthew s parents telling me that 用心 爱心 专心6 Matthew had passed away They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before Dear Dick My mum said I should send you a thank you letter for the picture you sent me I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don t have long to live any more but I still smile as much as I can I told you someday that I would go to the Olympics and win a gold medal but I know now I will never get to do that However I know I m a champion and God knows that too When I get to Heaven God will give me my medal and when you get there I will show it to you Thank you for loving me Your friend Matthew 48 The boy looked forward to meeting the author because A he was also good at weight lifting B he wanted to get to the Olympics and win a medal C he was one of the author s students D he admired the author very much 49 From the passage we learn that A Matthew was an athlete B Matthew was an optimistic and determined boy C The author used to have the same disease as Matthew had D Matthew became a champion before he died 50 Matthew didn t accept the author s medal because A he thought it was too expensive B he was sure that he could win one in the future C he thought it was of no use to him as he would die soon D he would not be pitied by others 51 What would be the best title for this passage A A sick boy B A special friend C A real champion D A famous athlete D D Cyberspace the connections between computers in different places considered as a real place where information messages and pictures exist mirrors the real world in many ways People ask for information play games and share hobbies Others buy and sell products Still others look for friendship or even love Unlike the real world however your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace Rather a person s thoughts or at least the thoughts they type are what really count So even the shyest person can become a chat room star Usually this faceless communication doesn t create problems Identity doesn t really matter when you re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies In fact this emphasis on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a 用心 爱心 专心7 great place for exciting conversation Where else can so many people come together to chat But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with They re looking for serious love relationships Is cyberspace a good place to find love That answer depends on whom you ask Some of these relationships actually succeed Others fail miserably Supporters of online relationships state that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually first Personal appearance doesn t get in the way But critics of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace Why Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them Internet users can carefully craft their words to fit whatever image they want to give And they don t have to worry about what their nonverbal communication is doing for their image In a sense they re not really themselves All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship With so many unknowns it s easy to let one s imagination fill in the blanks This inevitably leads to disappointment when couples meet in person How someone imagines an online friend is often quite more different than the real person So before looking for love in cyberspace remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll Life in the real world is far richer than anything you ll find on a computer screen 52 According to the passage chatting in the cyberspace A stresses more about people s identity B needs people to be rich in knowledge C puts emphasis on people s thoughts D allows people to discuss politics secretly 53 People who are against online dating think A what is said online is under control of the Internet B one may not show the real self in cyberspace C the faceless communication is conservative D it is hard to protect the other s identity 54 By saying With so many unknowns it s easy to let one s imagination fill in the blanks the writer means that A people may be disappointed when they meet in person B the Internet makes it easy for people to imagine how others view them C the Internet allows people to get more information about their loved ones D people usually get to know each other by chance through the Internet 55 We can infer from the last paragraph that Clifford A demands to develop the computer system B believes it hopeless to find love online C encourages people to enjoy modern life D supports to look for love in the real life E E Hans was an honest fellow with a funny round good humored face Living 用心 爱心 专心8 alone every day he worked in his garden In all the countryside there was no garden so lovely as his All sorts of flowers grew there blooming in their proper order as the months went by one flower taking another flower s place so that there were always beautiful things to see and pleasant odors to smell Hans had many friends the most devoted being the Miller So devoted was the rich Miller to Hans that he d never go by his garden without plucking a large bunch of flowers or a handful of sweet herbs or filling his pockets with fruits The Miller used to talk about noble ideas and Hans nodded and smiled feeling proud of having such a friend The neighbors thought it strange that the rich Miller never gave Hans anything in return though he had hundreds of sacks of flour many cows and sheep but Hans never troubled his head about these and nothing gave him greater pleasure than to listen to all the wonderful things about the unselfishness of true friendship In spring summer and autumn Hans was very happy but when winter came and he had no fruit or flowers to sell he suffered from cold and hunger Though extremely lonely the Miller never came to see him then There s no good in going to see Hans while the snow lasts The Miller said to his wife When people are in trouble they shouldn t be bothered So I ll wait till the spring comes when he s happy to give me flowers You re certainly very thoughtful
