【47】 Although no one is certain why migration occurs, there are several theories. One theory claims that prehistoric birds of the Northern Hemisphere were forced south during the Ice Age. As the glaciers melted, the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer, and then went south again as the ice advanced in winter. In time, the migration became a habit in spite of the disappearance of glaciers.
Another theory proposes that the ancestral home of all modern birds was the tropics. When the region became overpopulated, many species were crowded north. During the summer, there was plenty of food, but during the winter, scarcity forced them to return to the tropics.
A more recent theory suggests a relationship between increasing daylight and the stimulation of certain glands (腺) in the birds' bodies that may prepare them for migration. One scientist has been able to cause midwinter migrations by exposing birds to artificial periods of daylight. He has concluded that changes occur in the bodies of birds due to seasonal changes in the length of daylight.
1. According to one theory, when the glaciers disappeared, birds______.
A、stopped migrating
B、continued migrating
C、stayed in the north
D、migrated south and stayed there
答案:B
The author states that birds left the tropics because______.
A、there was not enough food there in the winter
B、there were too many birds
C、there were too many glaciers
D、there was too much daylight
答案:B
Why did one scientist expose birds to artificial daylight?
A、To test the relationship between daylight and a disease of the glands common to birds
B、To test the relationship between daylight and migration
C、To test the relationship between migration and temperature
D、To test the relationship between daylight and changes in the season
答案:B
According to the theory of photo-periodism, ______.
A、birds should migrate in the middle of the winter
B、longer days cause changes in the bodies of birds
C、seasonal changes in the length of days do not affect migration
D、increasing daylight increases the distance of migration
答案:A
This passage supports the belief that______.
A、exact reasons for migration are not known
B、birds migrate because of changes in temperature
C、the ancestral home of all birds was the tropics
D、glaciers caused birds to migrate
答案:A
【48】 Ever since humans have lived on the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is completed through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists and the people unable to hear or speak have had to turn to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very lively and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.
Body language sends ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either meaningfully or not. A wink can be a way of showing that the party is only joking. A nod means agreement, while shaking the head indicates disagreement.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (盲人用点字法a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide and warn people. While language is the most common form of communication, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.
1. Which of the following statements best summarizes this passage?
A、When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of communication.
B、Everybody uses only one form of communication.
C、Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to foreigners.

答案:A
Which of the following statements in NOT true?

答案:C
Which form other than oral speech could be most commonly used among blind people?
A、Picture signs.
B、Signal flags.
C、Body language.
D、Braille.
答案:D
Sign language is said to be very lively and exact and can be used meaningfully except for?
A、spelling
B、expressions
C、whole words
D、idea
答案:A
How many different forms of communication are mentioned here?
A、5.
B、3.
C、9.
D、7.
答案:C
【49】 It is curious how often sympathy for the old and infirm takes a form which actually humiliates them. Their friends, with good will, sometimes lean forward to rearrange their neckwear, touching their hair or patting their faces—things they would never presume to do, unasked, to one of their contemporaries. An equally humiliating habit is to talk about old people in front of them as if they were not there, discussing their health.
It is now universally accepted that children should be encouraged to do as much as they can for themselves in order to develop their brains and muscles, but so few people today seem to have time to allow the elderly the same means of keeping their minds and muscles active. They perform innumerable services for the old that they would be much better left to do, even with a struggle, for themselves. Convenient flats, "motherly" visitors, or organized entertainments cannot make up for the fundamental need which must be satisfied—the need to retain to the end of life human dignity and the respect of one's fellows.
1. Many people are not aware that it is rather rude to______.
A、talk casually about old people in front of them as if they were not there
B、show sympathy for the old

A、much sympathy will inevitably humiliate the old
B、kindness and unselfish help are not necessarily what the old need

答案:D
If the old are left to do as much as they can for themselves, ______.
A、they may keep human dignity and enjoy the respect of the fellows
B、they won't feel hurt or humiliated
C、they will be able to develop their brains and muscles
D、they will be able to keep their minds and muscles active
答案:D
The passage is mainly about that_____.
A、improper care and concern may do more harm than good to the old
B、how to take good care of the old in different ways
C、nowadays many people are not respectful enough to the old

答案:A

【51】 Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room? In 2040 it will not matter. They will turn themselves off—and on again when you return. A sensor will detect the presence of a human and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave, it will turn them off again.
The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you. They will detect faulty electrical appliances, isolate them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the firemen. It will also call the police should the sensors detect an intruder. You will open the door using your personal card—the one you use for shopping—maybe using a number known only to you.

【52】 This country, as Lincoln said, belongs to the people. So do the natural resources which make it rich. They supply the basis of our prosperity now and hereafter. In preserving them, which is a national duty, we must not forget that monopoly is based on the control of natural resources and natural advantages, and that it will help the people little to conserve our natural wealth unless the benefits which it can yield are given back to the people.
Let us remember, also, that conservation does not stop with the natural resources. The principle of making the best use of all we have requires that we stop the waste of human life in industry and prevent the waste of human welfare which flows from the unfair use of concentrated power and wealth in the hands of men whose eagerness for profit blinds them to the cost of what they do. We have no higher duty than to promote the efficiency of the individual. There is no surer road to the efficiency of the nation.
What plays an essential role in making the nation prosperous according to this passage?
A、Its money.
B、Its trade.
C、Its natural resources.
D、Its people.
答案:C
The passage suggests that the benefit from natural resources is mainly enjoyed by______.
A、the government
B、the monopolies
C、the businessmen
D、the people
答案:B
The conservation mentioned in the passage includes the following EXCEPT______.
A、natural resources
B、human welfare
C、human life
D、concentration of wealth
答案:D
What may contribute to the unfair use of concentrated power and wealth by some people?
A、Their greed for profit makes them ignore the expense.
B、They have accumulated too much wealth and power.
C、They make profits by pretending to be blind.
D、They make profits by cheating.
答案:A
On what does the efficiency of a nation depend?
A、Every individual.
B、Its machines.
C、Its wealth.
D、Its power.
答案:A
【53】 A lawyer friend of mine has devoted herself to the service of humanity. Her special area is called "public interest law". Many other lawyers represent only clients who can pay high fees. All lawyers have had expensive and highly specialized training, and they work long, difficult hours for the money they earn. But what happens to people who need legal help and cannot afford to pay these lawyers' fees?
Public interest lawyers fill this need. Patricia, like other public interest lawyers, earns a salary much below what some lawyers can earn. Because she is willing to take less money, her clients have the help they need, even if they can pay nothing at all.
Some clients need legal help because stores have cheated them with faulty merchandise. Others are in unsafe apartments, or are threatened with eviction (being driven) and have no place to go. Their cases are all called "civil" cases. Still others are accused of criminal acts, and seek those public interest lawyers who handle "criminal" cases. These are just a few of the many situations in which the men and women who are public interest lawyers serve to extend justice throughout society.
"A lawyer friend of mine has devoted herself to the service of humanity" means______.
A、she has tried to earn her living by providing service for human beings
B、she has tried to provide service to people in need out of humane consideration
C、she has tried to work for the cause of law at any cost
D、she has devoted herself to the public relationship in spite of loss of income

【54】 The growth of Liu Yongxing's animal-feed business has made him China's richest man， according to rankings published recently by Forbes magazine. With an estimated net worth of US$1 billion，the 53-year-old entrepreneur and his Shanghai-based Hope Group are symbols of the new China.
But Forbes' list of the 100 richest individuals in China also illustrates the growing income inequality here that alarms some officials. The Forbes survey found that the 100 richest people in　China had a combined net worth of US$18 billion in the year ended September 30. That's small change by US standards：

The wealth of the top 50 on this year's China list jumped 40 per cent，to US$14 billion，from US$10 billion last year despite a global economic slump.

【55】 Passage 1
The first ancient Olympics were held in 776 B. C. The games got their name from Olympia, the Greek city where they took place. Like the Summer Olympics of today. The ancient Olympics were held every four years. Thousands of people from all over the Greek world came to watch. The main stadium held about 45,000 people. "We have accounts of visitors and pilgrims setting up tents all around the site," Lisa Cerrato of Tufts University said. During the first Olympics, there was only one competition—a 200-meter race. But over time the games grew to include wrestling, chariot racing, boxing, and other sports. Women were not allowed to compete, but they had their own separate games. "The ancient athletes became celebrities (名人), just like today. They often lived the rest of their lives being treated to Tree dinners," Cerrato said. "City-States even tried to steal away each other's athletes by offering them various awards. The ancient Olympics existed until A. D. 393. But the modern Olympics are still going strong.

【56】 NASA is releasing several images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, which is the closest yet look at the red planet. Altogether there are four images, which show the entire planet. Each view shows the planet as it completes one quarter of its daily rotation. In these views the north polar cap is turned toward the Earth and is clearly visible at the top of each picture. The images were taken in the middle of the Martian northern summer, when the polar cap was at its smallest size. During this season the sun shines continuously on the polar cap. Previous spacecraft observations have shown that this summertime polar cap is composed of water ice, just like Earth's polar caps.
The Hubble Telescope pictures reveal that great changes have occurred on the surface of Mars in the past 20 years. The Martian surface is ever changing. Some regions that were dark 20 years ago are now bright red; some areas that were bright red are now dark. Winds move sand and dust from region to region, often in huge dust storms. Over long timescales many of the larger bright and dark markings remain stable, but smaller details come and go as they are covered and then uncovered by sand and dust.
1. How is the image of the north polar cap of Mars?
A、Vague.
B、Clear .
C、Cannot be seen.
D、Barely visible.
答案:B
What is the summertime polar cap composed of?

答案:D
【57】 If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper（敏锐）in the spring than you are at any other time of the year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington (1876-1937), concluded from other men’s work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.
He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.
Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man’s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.
Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking!
1. Huntington based his conclusions on ____.
A、records of change in his own intelligence
B、work with peoples in different climates
C、records of temperature changes
D、all of the above
答案:B
Ellsworth Huntington decided that climate and temperature have ____.
A、a great effect on everyone’s intelligence
B、some effect on most people’s intelligence
C、effect on only a few people’s intelligence

答案:B
One possible reason why spring is the best season for thinking is that ____.

C、it is neither too warm nor too cold
D、it is more natural for the development of mental abilities
答案:A
The two best seasons for thinking seem to be _____.

【58】 At the International Snow Sculpture Championships in Colorado on January 27, people will carve the white stuff into art. Planning begins months before the first snow falls. Teams submit applications and sketches of their sculptures in July. Then, a panel of judges chooses 14 teams for the championship.
The rules are simple: Electric tools are not allowed. Teams carve snow with everything but the results are not entirely in the sculptors' hands. "If it is extremely sunny and warm," DeWall, the competition's director of public relations, explained, "we will erect old sails from sailboats into the air to block the sun from melting the sculptures," If it snows, she continued, teams have to work extra hard to scrape (刮掉) the new snow off their work.
The judges look for creativity, technical skill, and overall impact on the viewer. The winner does not receive any money “There is no cash prize because the event began with the concept of global camaraderie (情谊),” DeWall explained. Instead of focusing on money, she continued, “winners revel (纵情) in the friendship, the art, and the hard work.”
What does the phrase “white stuff” in the first paragraph refer to?

答案:B

【59】 Until recently the opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet have been low. However， the volume of business done on the Internet is growing rapidly，as people order books and other products and make money transactions. All this is creating temptations for hackers(黑客).
Hackers are often young people who are interested in computers. They use them to move quietly to the Internet，looking for ways to break into computers systems run by banks，telephone companies and even Government departments. They look for examples of credit cards and try to steal the numbers.
Hackers rarely admit to a successful break-in. The first indication of a hacking may be when a customer discovers a wrong money transaction on a credit card account. It is harder to check on somebody misusing an online connection unless there is a massive down load of information which would call the attention of the consumer.
The main idea of the first paragraph is that ______.
A、the opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet have been low
B、the opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet are low
C、there are more opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet
D、people should not make money transactions on the Internet

【60】 Leisure plays an important part in British life. There are four main reasons for this.
First of all, people spend less time working now than they used to, mostly due to the introduction of new industrial technology. The normal British working week is Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., although some people regularly work a few hours' overtime each week. Secondly, all working people get a minimum of two weeks' paid holiday a year. In addition, there are six or more bank holidays a year when all banks and businesses are closed. In some cases the dates of these national holidays change from year to year and in different parts of Britain.
Another reason is that, thanks to modern medicine and higher living standards, people live longer now. This means that after retirement, people have quite a few years of leisure left. Nowadays a much higher proportion of the population is over sixty, but in this group there are more women than men.
Finally, fewer babies are born each year and the average family in Britain has two children. This is one result of changing social attitudes. For example, many more married women now go out to work. The money they earn influences their leisure time. Even married women who do not go out to work have more time for interesting hobbies because most British homes have washing machines, vacuum cleaners and other labor-saving gadgets.
1.The best title of this passage can be ____.
A、Time for relax
B、Time for refreshment
C、British working hour
D、British family
答案:A
