The poorer countries are often referred to as the Third World. They have special problems. Often their land is too poor to grow anything on. T

25、nown to us through many senses, not just hearing, smell, vision, and at close range, touch and taste.Our skins let us know whether the air is moist or dry, whether surfaces are wet without being sticky or slippery. From the uniformity of slight pressure, we can be aware how deeply a finger is thrust

26、 into water at body temperature, even if the finger is enclosed in a rubber glove that keeps the skin completely dry. Many other animals with highly sensitive skins, appear to be ahle to learn still more about their environment. Often they do so without employing any of the five senses.By observing

27、the capabilities of other members of the animal kingdom, we come to realize that a human being has far more possibilities than are utilized. We neglect ever so many of our senses in concentrating on the five major ones. At the same time, a comparison between animals and man draws attention to the li

28、mitations of each sense. The part of the spectrum (光谱) seen by color- conscious man as red is non-existent for honey-bees. But a bee can see far more in flowers than we, because the ultra-violet (紫外线) to which our eyes are blind is a stimulating part of the insects spectrum, and for honey-bees at le

33、分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.五、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：10.00)What is exactly a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you, you say: “I wish I could help you but Im short of money myself. “In fact, you ar

34、e not short of money, but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you dont want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie?A scientific study of lying shows women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a white lie such as when a woman at a party

35、 tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researches show that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie

36、politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.Research has also been done into the way peoples behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they ar

37、e sitting down at the same time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying “I wish I were somewhere else now. /（分数：10.00）(1).This passage tells us that _.A. telling lies is often necessary in order to avoid being defeatedB. telling lies is often

39、lling lies than menB. women liars are better accepted than menC. women have a better intention when telling liesD. women tell fewer lies than men do（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).A white lie means _.A. a lie that is completely unbelievable B. a lie that is told with a good willC. a lie that is always believab

40、le D. a lie that often has an evil purpose（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Politicians and businessmen are supposed to be skilled at telling the kind of lies _.A. from which they may gain some advantagesB. that seems to be believableC. that women are most likely to believeD. with which they can have better rela

42、smen are dishonest（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.六、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：10.00)As you are students of English, its very possible that youll be interested in England. Thats where the language was first spoken. But England is often called by other names. This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what thes

43、e names mean. So, now I would like to tell you about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people use the namesEngland, Britain or Great Britain. Lets see what each of these names means.If you look at a map of Europe, youll see a group of islandsone larger island off the northwest coas

44、t, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles. The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The smaller island is Ireland.Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the word “England“ is

45、used instead of “Britain“. Why so?In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in these different countries spoke different languages. Over many years the three countries became one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So

46、the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.Theres another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland“. That is the official name of the country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth

47、 of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of “England“, “Britain“, “Great Britain“, and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland“. Now do you know what each of them means?（分数：10.00）(1).English was

48、first spoken in _.A. Britain B. England C. Great Britain D. Ireland（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Britain is divided into _.A. England, Britain, and Wales B. England, Scotland, and WalesC.
