Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.（40points）Passage OneAs any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much m

19、ore.Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the pa

20、rents efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the childrens IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is. ”The study also provides an

21、 explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings. Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and theyoungest, who needs the most attention. “Mi

22、ddle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are that its the middle child. ” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner i

23、s a non-event. ”21. The writers purpose in writing the text is to .A. show the relationship between parents and childrenB. teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner tableC. report on the findings of a studyD. give information about family problems22. Parents with large families ask fewer questi

24、ons at dinner because .A. they are busy serving food to their childrenB. they are busy keeping order at the dinner tableC. they have to pay more attention to younger childrenD. they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family23. By saying “Middle children are invisible” in paragraph 3, L

25、ewis means that middle children .A. have to help their parents to serve dinnerB. get the least attention from the familyC. are often kept away from the dinner tableD. find it hard to keep up with other children24. Lewis research provides an answer to the question .A. why TV is important in family li

26、feB. why parents should keep good orderC. why children in small families seem to be quieterD. why middle children seem to have more difficulties in life25. Which of the following statements would the writer agree to?A. It is important to have the right food for children.B. It is a good idea to have

27、the TV on during dinner.C. Parents should talk to each of their children frequently.D. Elder children should help the younger ones at dinnerPassage TwoTaiwan police cannot decide whether to treat it as an extremely clever act of stealing or an even cleverer cheat (诈骗). Either way, it could be the pe

28、rfect crime (犯罪), because the criminals are birds-horning pigeons!The crime begins with a telephone message to the owner of a stolen car: if you want the car back, pay up then. The car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a bird cage and how to attach money to the neck of the pigeon insid

29、e. Carrying the money in a tiny bag, the pigeon flies off.There have been at least four such pigeon pick-ups in Changwa. What at first seemed like the work of a clever stay-at-home car thief, however, may in fact be the work of an even lazier and more inventive criminal mind-one that avoids (避免)not

30、only collecting money but going out to steal the car in the first place. Police officer Chen says that the criminal probably has played a double trick: he gets money for things he cannot possibly return. Instead of stealing cars, he lets someone else do it and then waits for the car-owner to place a

31、n ad (启事) in the newspaper asking for help.The theory is supported by the fact that, so far, none of the stolen cars have been returned. Also, the amount of money demanded-under 3,000 Taiwanese dollars-seems too little for a car worth many times more.Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped as soo

32、n as the press reported the story. And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal. “We have more important things to do,” he said.26. After the car owner received a phone call, he .A. went to a certain pigeon and put some money in the bag it carriedB. gave the money to

33、 the thief and had his car back in a parkC. sent some money to the thief by mail    D. told the press about it27. The “lazier and more inventive” criminal refers to .     A. the car thief who stays at homeB. one of those who put the ads in the paper     C. one of the po

34、licemen in Changwa    D. the owner of the pigeons28. The writer mentions the fact that “none of the stolen cars have been returned” to show .     A. how easily people get fooled by criminals    B. what Chen thinks might be correct     C. the thief is extremely

35、 clever    D. the money paid is too little29. The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to .     A. criminals        B. pigeonsC. the stolen cars   D. demands for money30. We may infer from the text that the criminal knows how to reach the c

36、ar owners because .     A. he reads the ads in the newspaper      B. he lives in the same neighborhood     C. he has seen the car owners in the park     D. he has trained the pigeons to follow them    Passage ThreeLast August, Joe and Mary Mahon

37、ey began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter,Maureen. With a checklist of criteria in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenagers intended major, one located near a large city, and a campus where

38、their daughter would be safe.“The safety issue is a big one,” says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasnt alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked: what about crime? But when college officials always gave the same answe

39、r-“Thats not a problem here,” Mahoney began to feel uneasy.“No crime whatsoever?” comments Mahoney today. “I just dont buy it. ” Nor should he: in 1999 the U. S. Department of Education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. “Parents need to understand that times hav

40、e changed since they went to college,” says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. “Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation. ”But getting accurate information isnt easy. Colleges must report crime statistics by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity, leaving the honest ones

41、looking dangerous. “The truth may not always be obvious,” warns S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc, the nations leading campus safety watchdog group.To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effecti

42、ve solutions.31.

It is often difficult to get correct information on campus

43、 crime because some colleges .A. receive too many visitorsB. mirror the rest of the nationC. hide the truth of campus crimeD. have too many watchdog groups33. The underlined word “buy” in the third paragraph means .A. mind         B. admitC. believe      D. expect3

44、4.

What is the text mainly about?A. Exact campus cr

45、ime statistics.B. Crimes on or around campuses.C. Effective solutions to campus crime.D. Concerns about kids campus safety.Passage FourOne of Britains bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected (可疑的) police killer David Bieberand was thanked with flowers by the police. It was als

46、o said that she could be in line for a share of up to the 30,000 reward money.Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Biebes bedroom and to watc

47、h him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.She said: “I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there. ”The alarm had been raised because Vicki became s

48、uspicious (怀疑) of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before New Years Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: “He didnt seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact (接触). ” Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her boss Margare

49、t, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.    Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.“It was about ten

50、past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside? My heart missed a beat. ”Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.“I realized that

51、 my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the mans room, but I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was

52、handcuffed (带上手铐). ”36. The underlined phrase “be in line for” (paragraph 1) means .A. get          B. be paid            C. ask for          D. own37. Vicki became suspicious of David Bieber because .A. the police calle

53、d herB. he looked very strangeC. he came to the hotel with little luggageD. he came to the hotel the day before New Years Eve38. Vickis heart missed a beat because .A. the phone went againB. she would be famousC. the policemen had already arrivedD. she saw 20 policemen in the car park39. David Biebe

56、le one from the list AG to fit into each of the numbered blank. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the gaps.（10points）Researchers have found that drugs used to treat human seizures can delay aging in worms by as much as 50 percent. The roundworms used for the study are similar t

57、o humans in their molecular makeup, raising thepossibility that the drugs could also extend the life span of humans.41“By finding a class of drugs that delays aging we have found a relationship between the function of the nervous system and aging that was not well understood, ” said Kerry Komfeld, a

58、 geneticist at the WashingtonUniversity School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri. The findings are detailed this week in the journal Science.The discovery came out of the thesis work by one of Komfelds graduate students, Kimberley Evason. About four years ago, Evason began exposing groups of the ro

59、undworm Caenorhabditis elegans to commercially available drugs to see if the drugs would delay aging or promote longevity.42Over eight months the scientists tested 20 drugs, all with negative results. Finally they tested the anticonvulsant drug ethosuzimide. Researchers found that the drug extended

60、the life span of roundworms from 16. 7 days to 19. 6 days, a 17 percent increase.43The discovery that the drugs extend the life span of roundworms could have importantimplications fox human aging as well. There are strong similarities on the molecular level between the proteins and genes that  

61、 constitute the worm and those that make up other animals, including humans.“Many basic processes are highly related, including neural function, insulin signaling, and probably important aspects of the aging process, ” Komfeld said. “Theres every reason to think that these animals an a good model fo

62、r higher animals, such as people. ”44Ethosuzimide, which was developed in the 1950s, is commonly used to treat epilepsy, though it is no known precisely how the drug controls convulsions. There is no anecdotal evidence that it has had an anti-aglng effect in people. The next step, Komfeld says, is t

63、o test if the drugs have an anti-aging effect on animal like flies and mice.Very little is known about the aging process. From genetic analysis, researchers have found that an in sulin-like signaling system regulates aging and longevity. A good diet can delay aging and extend a person life span. But

64、 scientists know virtually nothing about the effect of drugs on aging. “Its a big void, ” Konfeld said.In addition to delaying age-related degenerative changes, the drugs also increased neuromuscular activty, suggesting a link between the neuromuscular system and the aging process.45There may also be other targets not yet explored that affect aging and neuromuscular function. Said Kornfeld: “The process of aging remains mysterious. ”A. But Komfeld said scientists will not know about the applicability
