A Frenchman went to a small Italian town and was staying with his wife at the best hotel there. One night, he went out for a walk alone. It was late and the small street was dark and quiet. Suddenly he felt someone behind him. He turned his head and saw an Italian young man who quickly walked past him. The man was nearly out of sight when the Frenchman suddenly found that his watch was gone. He thought that it must be the Italian who had taken his watch. He decided to follow him and get back the watch.

二、阅读理解单项选择题(共 5 题、共 30 分)
1.
Humans are the dominant ( 统治 ) species on planet Earth. Their numbers are increasing rapidly. They are no longer restricted by their environment, as they can live in the most hostile of deserts or the bitter cold of Antarctic.
Human culture is heavily based on the earth's natural resources -- oil, coal and metals; soil, water and forests. Industrialized society is using increasing amounts of these resources each year. Governments and industrialists strive for economic growth -- for factories and mines to produce more each year than they did in the previous year. But fuels and metals and, to a lesser extent, the soil are nonrenewable resources. Once used they are gone forever. In many cases the lifetime of these resources is coming to an end.
Factories and machines create wastes. These wastes are poured into the atmosphere, the water and even into the soil. The damaging effect of this pollution is, in some cases, permanent. To reduce pollution creates further problems. Factories may have to be redesigned or even pulled down. This costs money and may mean loss of livelihood ( 生计 ) for many workers.
Modern technology is creating an additional problem -- it is making industry more and more automatic ( 自动化 ). This means that fewer and fewer people are needed to operate factories and offices. The consequent loss of jobs is a worldwide problem and western society is still struggling to find the answer.
This introduction gives you some idea of the topics to be discussed in detail in this chapter.
1).
Which pollution is NOT mentioned in the passage? ____
A、
Air Pollution

Are you looking for a good book to read? Do you need information about universities in the United States? Do you want to know the correct price of a used car? Would you like to read newspapers and magazines from different countries? Do you need a quiet place to study? Did you answer "yes" to any of these questions? Then you should visit "the information place" -- your local library.
A library is more than just a place where books are stored. A library is a source of information. That information may come from books (fiction, nonfiction, or reference books), from periodicals (newspapers, magazines, and journals), from audio-visual material (records, cassettes microfilm, video tapes, etc.) or even from a computer terminal.
Students go to libraries to study and to write research papers. The periodicals room of a university library is where foreign students often find newspapers and magazines from their countries. In the reference room, they can find catalogs from many universities in the U.S. and other countries. If you are buying a used car, the reference librarian can show you the Blue Book, which lists the prices of new and used cars. People who need information in a burry can telephone the reference librarian at many libraries.
There are as many different library services as there are types of people who use them. Children's libraries provide materials for young readers. They sometimes have storytellers who read stories to groups of children, and a few have computers for the children to play with. Music lovers can listen to recordings of their favorite musicians in music libraries. Some libraries have painting and sculpture exhibits, and most libraries offer special services for blind people, such as books in Braille, "talking" books, and Kurzweil Reading Machines.
Libraries provide entertainment as well as information. Novels and short stories from a library's fiction collection are a good source of enjoyable reading practice. Public libraries often sponsor lectures on topics of interest to members of the community, and a few even offer concerts and films. No matter what your interests are, you will find that a library can be a great place to enjoy yourself while you learn.
1).
Which of the following is NOT an example of a library service?____
A、
Used cars.
B、
Art exhibits.

Children's storytellers.

Once a week my aunt would announce, "I am going to have my bath today."
Now most people find it fairly simple to have a bath. You probably remember how it goes. You enter the bathroom, you put the plug in, turn on the hot water, get into the bath, wash, sing, get out, dry yourself and exit. My aunt's approach was more epic(宏大的), like one of those long Eisenstein films where people seem to be climbing up the same flight of stairs forever.
My aunt would first slowly collect her clean linen(亚麻布衬衫), so as to have it all ready for changing into after her bath. This involved sorting out her linen, which took up most of the morning. Sometimes she would find an old letter buried among her linen, become interested in the memories it aroused and have to postpone the bath until the next day. But if all went well, she would have a bite of lunch and start Phase Two around two o'clock.
Phase Two was washing out the bath. She would wash the bath very thoroughly, rinse(冲洗) it with running cold water, rewash it and then carefully feel the whole surface with her fingers. If there was the slightest blemish, she would clean the whole bath out again. This took about an hour. Then she would fill the bath.
By this time she was feeling a bit hungry and exhausted. So she would put on the kettle for a cup of tea. Several cups of tea and several cream crackers (her favourite food) later, she would go back to the bathroom. And find the water stone cold.
1).
How did she use to spend most of the morning?____
A、
Reading old letters.
B、
Preparing lunch.
C、
Getting the bath water hot.
D、
Sorting out her linen.
2).
Why might the writer's aunt put off bathing until the next day?____
A、

B、
She would sometimes get too tired.
C、
She would sometimes have lunch instead.
D、
She might start ironing the linen.
3).
She would never fill the bath until she ____.
A、
had cleaned it at least three times
B、
had had several cups of tea
C、
had polished it inside and outside
D、
had made sure it was perfectly clean
4).
According to the writer, most people ____.
A、
read magazines in the bath
B、
make bath time a special occasion
C、

have a bath once every other week
5).

D、

Sleep is part of your daily activity cycle, but there are several different types or stages of sleep, and they too occur in cycles.
If you are an average sleeper, your sleep cycle will go something like this: When you first drift off into sleep your eyes will roll about a bit, your temperature will drop slightly, your muscles will relax, and your breathing will slow and become quite regular. Your brain waves slow down a bit too. This is called Stage 1 sleep.
For the next half hour or so, as you relax more and more, you will drift down through Stage 2 and Stage 3 sleep. The lower your stage of sleep, the slower your brain waves will be.
Then, about 40-60 minutes after you lose consciousness, you will have reached the deepest sleep of all. Your brain waves will show the delta rhythm. This is Stage 4 sleep.
You may think that you stay at this deep fourth stage all the rest of the night, but that turns out not to be the case. Instead, about 80 minutes after you fall into sleep your activity cycle will increase slightly. The delta rhythm will disappear, to be replaced by the activity pattern of brain waves. Your eyes will begin to move around under your closed eyelids as if you were looking at something occurring in front of you. This period of Rapid Eye Movements lasts for some 8--15 minutes and is called REM sleep.
During both light and deep sleep, the muscles in your body are relaxed but capable of movement. However, as you slip into REM sleep, a very odd thing occurs -- most of the voluntary muscles in your body become paralyzed. Although your brain shows very rapid bursts of neural activity during REM sleep, your body is incapable of moving.
1).
REM sleep is characterized by ____.
A、
a lack of body movement
B、
a drop in temperature
C、
the appearance of delta waves
D、
a loss of consciousness
2).
Muscular relaxation, a temperature drop, and breath regularity are characteristics of ____.
A、
Stages 2 and 3 sleep
B、
REM sleep
C、
delta rhythms
D、
Stage 1 sleep
3).
An increase in the activity cycle indicates ____.
A、
one is waking up
B、
the beginning of the Rapid Eye Movement stage
C、
a relaxing of body muscles
D、
an increase in the body's rhythm
4).
The lower the stage of sleep, ____.
A、
the greater the alpha waves will be
B、
the greater the activity pattern of the brain
C、
the slower the brain waves will appear
D、
the closer one is to the initial Stage 1 sleep
5).
Before one reaches the deepest sleep, ____.
A、
muscular inhibition occurs
B、
loss of consciousness has already occurred
C、
one's body muscles become paralyzed
D、
one's eyes begin to move as if looking at something

Parrots are becoming one of the most popular pets in America -- and for good reason. The parrot is an extraordinary bird that can be taught to talk, can be easily cared for, and can create a lively atmosphere anywhere. With the help of an energetic parrot owner, a parrot can develop an enormous vocabulary. In addition, a parrot can be trained to say "Pretty boy" or "Polly wants a cracker, " and it also can learn to whistle or sing. No matter what an owner decides to teach a bird, training a parrot takes much patience, but the reward is a stream of chatter. Another reason for the parrot's popularity is that this pet does not require much care. For example, even a spoiled parrot does not need a house sitter for the purpose of daily walks and daily feeding. In fact, a parrot owner may leave his or her pet with enough food for five days and have no fear that the parrot will overeat. Still another advantage of owning a parrot is its inexpensive food, including seeds, nuts, corn, and grain -- along with an apple, banana, or carrot. Perhaps the most likely reason the parrot is becoming such a well-liked pet is that it is a combination of tameness and wildness. Because the parrot can live in almost any environment, it makes a fine, tame companion for many people. In addition, because it can be easily trained, it is a delightful performer. At the same time, its colorful feathers give it an air of the mystery of the parrot's native home, the jungle. Thus, the parrot, once a highly valued gift presented to kings and noble families, is now appreciated by a growing number of people.
1).
The word "tameness" in the passage means ____.
A、
the quality of being brave or unafraid
B、
the quality of being kind or warm-hearted
C、
the quality of being uncontrollable or fierce
D、
the quality of being gentle or trained
2).
The word "jungle" probably means ____.
A、
boundless desert with very little plant life
B、
large apartment building with pleasing surroundings
C、
wild land overgrown with thick bushes and trees
D、
snow-covered mountain top in very cold areas.
3).
The writer ____.
A、
likes the parrot
B、
dislikes the parrot
C、
does not like nor dislike the parrot
D、
values the parrot highly

A、
