The year is 1971, the month is March and the sun is shining. And when I smell a certain type of suntan oil (防晒油), I am

11、 back again in the Greek islands. Or it“s the smell of lavender which reminds me of my grandmother. Smell is one of the most evocative (唤起的) of all the senses, but it“s the most difficult to recall. This is because only a small area of the brain is used in smell. Most people, however, can recognize

12、at least 4,000 different smells, and women usually have a better sense of smell than men. It seems that our ideas of what smells are pleasant or unpleasant is something that we learn at about the age of three or four. It is not something we are born with. How do we learn what smells good and what do

13、esn“t? And how do we know that some smells, like a smell of burning, mean danger? Flowers such as jasmine and lavender are one thing, but what about the smell of people? Each human being has a unique odor (气味). A one-month old baby can recognize its mother by smell. In many parts of the world people

14、 greet each other by sniffing (闻) the face or the hands. The kiss began as a sniff and New Zealand Maoris, and Eskimos still sniff when they meet one another. In modern times we use soap and perfume (香水) to replace our natural odor.（分数：10.00）(1).Lavender is probably a kind of _.（分数：2.00）A.fruitB.flo

15、werC.foodD.soap(2).The author mentions “the Greek islands“ in order to _.（分数：2.00）A.tell readers the place where a certain oil is madeB.tell readers an example of hot countriesC.tell readers that smells can bring back memories of the pastD.tell readers that smells usually make you think of some plac

16、e(3).Which is true about our sense of smell according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.It often helps us to recall something.B.It hardly tells us about anything we saw.C.There“s no difference between men and women in terms of sense of smell.D.We learn about good smells and bad smells when we grow up.(4).Wh

17、at can you infer from the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Babies are the best in terms of sense of smell.B.Usually people can tell only a limited number of senses.C.We know a smell of burning is bad because it means danger.D.Natural body odor is not welcomed by some people today.(5).Which of the following is NOT

19、ented a new way of producing electricity. Their invention does not get its power from oil, coal or other fuels. It produces electricity with the power of animals. India has about eighty million bullocks (小公牛). They do all kinds of jobs. They work in the fields. They pull vehicles through the streets

20、. They carry water containers. Indian energy officials have been seeking ways to use less imported oil to provide energy. Scientists at the National Institute for Industrial Engineering in Bombay wondered if the millions of bullocks could help. Many villages in India lack electricity, but they have

21、many bullocks. And often the animals are not working. One job done by bullocks is to pump water out of a well. The animals do this by walking around and around in a circle. As they walk, they turn a heavy stick that makes the pump move. This simple technology is centuries old. Scientists thought the

22、 same technology could be used to produce electricity. Bullocks walk in a circle only two or three times a minute. That is much too slow to produce electricity, but it can create enough power to turn a series of gears. A large gear sits next to a smaller gear. As the large gear turns, it causes the

23、smaller gear to turn. That gear turns an even smaller one. Each gear moves faster because it is a little smaller. The smallest gear may turn extremely fast. Clocks operate with gears. So do cars, and so does the device invented by the Indian scientists to produce electricity. The United Nations Deve

24、lopment Forum publication (出版社) reports that the idea is being tested at several places in India. The device is easy to operate and repair. And it can be moved easily. It costs about three hundred and seven dollars now to make such a device, but production of large numbers of them could cut the cost

25、 of each to about two hundred dollars.（分数：10.00）(1).Who first thought of using bullocks to provide energy?（分数：2.00）A.Indian energy officials.B.Scientists in India.C.Officials from the U.N.D.Researchers in Europe.(2).Which kind of job that the bullocks do is NOT mentioned in the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Pu

26、lling vehicles.B.Plowing fields.C.Pumping water out of wells.D.Carrying food baskets.(3).Why are bullocks used to provide energy in India?（分数：2.00）A.Because bullocks have long been used by Indian people.B.Because bullocks walk slowly and are easy to control.C.Because there are many non-working bullo

27、cks in India and they can create huge power.D.Because the government does not import enough oil.(4).In the sentence “This simple technology is centuries old. “, “this simple technology“ refers to _.（分数：2.00）A.using bullocks to produce energyB.using pumps to draw water outC.having bullocks walk aroun

28、d to make the pump moveD.connecting gears of different sizes to produce electricity(5).Which of the following is true about the device mentioned in the passage?（分数：2.00）A.It has a large gear and a smaller gear.B.It“s easy to use, but difficult to move.C.It“s quite cheap.D.It“s still being tested.(C)

29、I am an American. I believe that the American presidency is the most important job in the world. It“s a job that goes up for grabs (争夺) every four years. The candidate (候选人) who wins in November of 2000 will take office the following January and be the first new U.S. president of the twenty-first ce

30、ntury. The election campaign (运动) is a long one. Some say it begins right after the election and goes on for the next four years. That“s probably untrue, but it does last a long time. Those who have their eyes on the job have to start gathering support and building campaign organizations early. Some

31、 believe that the campaign for president should be shorter. I disagree. A long campaign is an endurance contest. It gives the candidates a chance to show their strengths and forces them to overcome their weaknesses. The close examination makes it much less likely that the voters (选民们)will accidental

32、ly choose an unqualified candidate to be their leader. Personally, I enjoy the contest. It“s a long-distance race that produces a winner who may have a profound effect on all our lives. The debates and November election are the sporting events that really matter !（分数：10.00）(1).The author thinks high

33、ly of the American presidency only because _.（分数：2.00）A.it is a job that goes up for grabs every four yearsB.the candidate who wins must be a good presidentC.the candidate who wins will soon take officeD.none of the above(2).Some people believe the election campaign can be as long as _.（分数：2.00）A.fo

34、ur yearsB.two yearsC.three yearsD.one year(3).The author prefers a longer campaign because _.（分数：2.00）A.it produces more qualified winnersB.the candidates have many shortcomingsC.voters will not suffer from any accidentD.the candidates are too powerful(4).Personally, the author tends to think that _

35、.（分数：2.00）A.the U.S. presidential election should be limited to six monthsB.the long election campaign is necessaryC.political debates are much less interesting than sportsD.the contest should be changed in form(5).The word “matter“ in the last sentence of the article means _.（分数：2.00）A.are useful m

36、aterialsB.are unimportantC.are meaninglessD.are very important(D)Is language, like food, a basic human need without which a child at a critical period of life can be starved and damaged? Judging from the experiment of Frederick II in the thirteenth century, it may be. Hoping to discover what languag

37、e a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent. All the babies died before the first year. But clearly there was more than lack of language here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the ability to s

38、urvive is seriously influenced. Today no such severe lack exists as that ordered by Frederick II Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive (不敏感的) to the signals (信号) of the baby, whose brain is made to learn language

39、rapidly. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again. A bird learns to sing and to fly rapidly at the right time, but the process is slow and hard once the critical stage has passed. Experts suggest that speech

40、stages are reached in a fixed order and at a constant age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be clever. At twelve weeks a baby smiles and makes vowel-like sounds, at twelve months he can speak simple words and understand simple commands, at eigh

41、teen months he has a vocabulary of three to fifty words. At three he knows about 1000 words which he can put into sentences, and at four he knows his language differs from that of his parents in style rather than grammar.（分数：10.00）(1).What was the purpose of the experiment of Frederick II in the thi

42、rteenth century?（分数：2.00）A.To discover what language a child would speak without hearing any human speech.B.To prove that a baby couldn“t live without his mother.C.To find out what role careful nursing would play in teaching a child to speak.D.To prove that a child would be damaged without learning

43、a language.(2).According to the passage, the reason that the children of Frederick II“s experiment died is _.（分数：2.00）A.lack of languageB.lack of good motheringC.without mother tongueD.the nurses“ careless nursing(3).Today some children are backward in speaking because _.（分数：2.00）A.they are incapabl

44、e of learning language rapidlyB.they are faced with so much language at onceC.their mothers respond improperly to their attempts to speakD.their brain is not made to learn language rapidly(4).If a child starts to speak later than other normal children, he will _ in the future.（分数：2.00）A.be more clev

45、er than othersB.be insensitive to verbal signalsC.be less intelligentD.not necessarily be backward(5).A child can say “Mum“ probably at _.（分数：2.00）A.twelve weeksB.twelve monthsC.three yearsD.four years六、III(总题数：40，分数：20.00)1.After my father stopped working, his physical condition _ worse.（分数：0.50）A.
