7、理解Passage 1A four-year study conducted by the Infant Testing Center in San Francisco, California, suggests that babies feel more comfortable around other babies than with strange adults. According to the study, babies benefit by being with their fellow infants daily. Whereas a baby might show fear o

8、f an adult stranger, he is likely to smile and reach out for an unfamiliar infant. By the time babies are one year old, they have begun to form friendships of a sort.The above findings, based on observation of 100 babies aged three months to three years, might prove interesting to working parents wh

9、o must find day care for their babies. Family care in a private home, with several babies together, is probably the ideal way to care for babies under three. Dr. Benjamin Spock, well-known pediatrician and author of books about babies, supports the idea. He says that family day care is better in the

10、ory than hiring a housekeeper or a babysitter.（ ）16、What would be a good title for the passage? A. How to Test Infants B. Parents and childrenC. Day Care for Babies D. Choosing a Babysitter（ ）17、 A baby is likely to feel more at ease with _.A. a housekeeper B an infant C an adult stranger D teenage

11、children（ ）18、What does Dr. Benjamin Spock do?A. He recommends babysittersB. He writes baby booksC. He conducts studies on infantsD. He directs a testing center（ ）19、According to the passage, how should working parents provide care for their babies?A. Find a private home with other babiesB. Take the

12、ir babies with them to workC. Hire an adult to come into the homeD. Search for a large nursery with a good reputation（ ）20、The author is talking to _.A. babies under three B. researcher on infantsC. pediatricians(儿科医生) D. working parentsPassage 2(1)If there is any single factor that makes for succes

13、s in living, it is the ability to profit by defeat. (2)Every success I know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his next understanding. Confuse defeat with failure, and you are doomed indeed to failure. For it isnt defeat that makes you fail,

14、it is your own refusal to see in defeat the guide and encouragement to success.Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of. They are routine incidents in the life of every one who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it without humiliation, analyze it and learn why you failed. Def

15、eat, in other words, can help to cure its own cause. Not only does defeat prepare us for success, but nothing can arouse within us such a compelling (强烈)desire to succeed. If you let a baby grasp a rod and try to pull it away, he will grasp it more and more tightly until his whole weight is suspende

16、d (悬挂，依托). It is this reaction that should give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated. If you exploit the power which defeat gives, you can accomplish with it far more than you are capable of.（ ）21、What is the passage mainly about?A. Defeats are part of everybodys life.B. The diff

17、erence between defeat and failure.C. Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of.D. Defeat is likely to help one to gain success.（ ）22、The person who was able to analyze defeat is likely _.A. to achieve successB. to accept it peacefullyC. to feel ashamed of itD. to act like a baby（ ）23、The author advises y

18、ou _.A. to confuse defeat with failure B. not to mix up defeat and failure C. to regard defeat as a dead loss D. to cling (粘附) to defeat tightly（ ）24、Defeat is valuable _.A. because it tells you why you failB. because it forces you to face it without humiliationC. in that it provides the guide and e

19、ncouragement to successD. because it can cure its own cause（ ）25、Why does the author advise you to do with the power defeat gives?A. To analyze itB. To accomplish what you are not capable ofC. To explain itD. To make good use of itPassage 3The predictability of our mortality rates is something that

20、has long puzzled social scientists. After all, there is no natural reason why 2,500 people should accidentally shoot themselves each year or why 7,000 should drown or 55,000 die in their cars. No one establishes a quota for each type of death. It just happens that they follow a consistent pattern ye

21、ar after year. A few years ago a Canadian psychologist named Gerald Wilde became interested in this phenomenon. He noticed that mortality rates for violent and accidental deaths throughout the Western world have remained oddly static throughout the whole of the century, despite all the technological

22、 advances and increases in safety standards that have happened in that time. Wilde developed an intriguing theory called risk homeostasis. According to this theory, people instinctively live with a certain level of risk. When something is made safer, people will get around the measure in some way to

23、 reassert the original level of danger. If, for instance, they are required to wear seat belts, they will feel safer and thus will drive a little faster and a little more recklessly, thereby statistically canceling out the benefits that the seat belt confers. Other studies have shown that where an i

24、ntersection is made safer, the accident rate invariably falls there but rises to a compensating level elsewhere along the same stretch of road. It appears, then, that we have an innate need for danger. In all events, it is becoming clearer and clearer to scientists that the factors influencing our l

25、ifespan are far more subtle and complex than had been previously thought. It now appears that if you wish to live a long life, it isnt simply a matter of adhering to certain precautions eating the right foods, not smoking, driving with care. You must also have the right attitude. Scientists at the D

26、uke University Medical Center made a 15-year study of 500 persons personalities and found, somewhat to their surprise, that people with a suspicious or mistrustful nature die prematurely far more often than people with a sunny disposition. Looking on the bright side, it seems, can add years to your

27、life span. （ ）26、What social scientists have long felt puzzled about is why . A. the mortality rate can not be predicted B. the death toll remained stable year after year C. a quota for each type of death has not come into being D. people lost their lives every year for this or that reason （ ）27、In

28、his research, Gerald Wilde finds that technological advances and increases in safety standards . A .have helped solve the problem of so high death rate B. have oddly accounted for mortality rates in the past century C. have reduced mortality rates for violent and accidental deaths D. have achieved n

29、o effect in bringing down the number of deaths （ ）28、According to the theory of risk homeostasis, some traffic accidents result from . A. our innate desire for risk B. our fast and reckless driving C. our ignorance of seat belt benefits D. our instinctive interest in speeding （ ）29、By saying statist

30、ically canceling out the benefits that the seat belt confers (Para. 2),the author means .A. wearing seat belts does not have any benefits from the statistic point of viewB. deaths from wearing seat belts are the same as those from not wearing themC. deaths from other reasons counterbalance the benef

31、its of wearing seat beltsD. earing seat belts does not necessarily reduce deaths from traffic accidents （ ）30、Which of the following may contribute to a longer life span? A. Showing adequate trust instead of suspicion of others B. Eating the food low in fat and driving with great care C. Cultivating

32、 an optimistic personality and never losing heart D. Looking on the bright side and developing a balanced level of risk 三、完形填空Traveling can be fun and easy.
