10、ifferent grey cards. These grey cards are of all possible shades of grey and include white and black. On each card a watch-glass is placed. The watch-glass on the blue card has some syrup(果汁 ) in it, all the others are empty. After a short time bees find the syrup, and they come for it again and aga

11、in. Then, after some hours, we take away the watch-glass of syrup which was on the blue card and put an empty one in its place. Now what do the bees do? They still go straight to the blue card, although there is no syrup there. They do not go to any of the grey cards, in spite of the fact that one o

12、f the grey cards is of exactly the same brightness as the blue card. Thus the bees do not mistake any shade of grey for blue. In this way we have proved that they do really see blue as a colour. We can find out in just the same way what other colours bees can see. It turns out that bees can see vari

13、ous colours, but these insects differ from us as regards their colour-sense in two very interesting ways. Suppose we train bees to come to a red card, and, having done so, we put the red card on the table in the garden among the set of different grey cards. This time we find that the bees mistake re

14、d for dark grey or black. They cannot distinguish between them. This means that red is not a colour at all for bees; for them it is just dark grey or black. That is one strange fact; here is another. A rainbow is red on one edge, violet on the other. Outside the violet of the rainbow there is anothe

15、r colour which we cannot see at all. This colour beyond the violet， invisible to us, is called the ultra-violet. Although it is invisible, we know that the ultra-violet is there because it affects a photographic plate. Now, although we are unable to see ultra-violet light , bees can do so; for them

16、ultra-violet is a colour. Thus bees see a colour which we cannot even imagine. This has been found out by training bees to come for syrup to various parts of a spectrum, or artificial rainbow, thrown by a prism on a table in a dark room. In such an experiment the insects can be taught to fly to the

17、ultra-violet, which for us is just darkness. 16 The experiment with bees described in the first and second paragraphs tell us that bees regard blue as a colour. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 17 The third paragraph tells us that bees also regard red as a colour. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C）

18、Not mentioned 18 The experiment described in the second paragraph aimed to find out that bees are not able to see grey as a colour. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 19 An artificial rainbow was created for the experiment to see whether bees can recognize the ultra-violet as a colour. （ A） Ri

19、ght （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 20 The fourth paragraph tells us that bees may be harmed by ultra-violet light. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 21 We can conclude from the passage that bees recognize colours in the same way as human beings. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 22 Bees

20、 are more sensitive to colours than human beings. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 三、 概括大意与完成句子 (第 23-30题，每题 1分，共 8分 ) 下面的短文后有 2项测试任务： (1)第 23-26题要求从所给的 6个选项中为第 2-5段每段选择一个最佳标题； (2)第 27-30题要求从所给的 6个选项中为每个句子确定一个最佳选项。 22 Rainmaking 1 The idea of rainmaking is almost as old as man, but it was no

21、t until 1946 that man succeeded in making rain. In ancient times, rainmakers had claimed to bring rain by many methods: dancing singing, killing animals (including humans). 2 For a long time, men have understood where rain comes from. Water from the surface of oceans and lakes becomes part of the ai

22、r, where it forms clouds from which rain falls. But exactly what starts the formation of raindrops was not known until quite recently. A man named John Aitken proved that drops of water gather around tiny bits of dust or other matter. The centers of the drops are so small that the human eye cannot s

23、ee them. Without such centers, it seems raindrops do not form. 3 During World War II , Dr. Irving Langmir, and his assistant Schaefer, were hired by the General Electric Company to study how and why ice forms on the wings of airplanes. They went to a mountain in New Hampshire, where snowstorms are c

24、ommon and cold winds blow. They were surprised to find that often the temperature of the clouds surrounding them was far below the freezing point, and yet ice did not form in the clouds. 4 After the War, Schaefer experimented with a machine that created cold, moist air similar to the air found in cl

25、ouds. To imitate the moist air of a cloud. Schaefer would breathe into the machine. Then he would drop into the freezer a bit of powder , sugar , or some other substance. For weeks and months he tried everything he could imagine. Nothing happened. No crystals of ice were formed. None of the substanc

26、es would serve as the center of a snow crystal or raindrops. 5 One July morning, Schaefer was dropping in bits of various substances and watching the unsuccessful results. Finally, a friend suggested that they go to eat lunch and Schaefer went with him. As usual, he left the cover of the freezer up,

27、 since cold air sinks and would not escape from the box. 6 Returning from lunch, Schaefer found that the temperature of the freezer had risen to a point higher than that required for ice crystals to remain solid. There were two choices now. He could close the cover and wait for the freezer itself to

28、 lower the air temperature, or he could make the process occur faster by adding dry ice a gas in solid form that is very, very cold. He chose the latter plan. As he dropped the steaming white dry ice into the freezer, he happened to breathe out a large amount of air. And there, before his eyes, it h

29、appened! He had made ice crystals, not by adding centers to the moisture, but by cooling the breath so much that the liquid had to form crystals! Then he began to blow his breath into the freezer and drop large pieces of dry ice through it to create crystals which became a tiny snowstorm falling slo

30、wly to the floor of his laboratory. 7 After planning carefully, Schaefer made an experiment by dropping dry ice from his plane to the clouds below him. As was expected, snow formed and fell from the bottom of the cloud. Schaefer succeeded. He made history. A Langmir and Schaefers work for the GE Com

They go to the movies to escape their normal everyday existence and to experience a life more exciting than their own. They

34、 may choose to see a particular film because they like the actors or because they have heard the film has a good story. But the main reason why people go to the movies is to escape. Sitting in a dark theater, watching the images on the screen, they enter another world that is real to them. They beco

35、me involved in the lives of the characters in the movie, and for two hours, they forget all about their own problems. They are in a dream world where things often appear to be more romantic (浪漫的 ) and beautiful than in real life. The biggest “dream factories“ are in Hollywood, the capital of the fil

36、m industry. Each year, Hollywood studios make hundreds of movies that are shown all over the world. American movies are popular because they tell stories and they are well-made. They provide the public with heroes who do things the average person would like to do but often cant. People have to cope

37、with many problems and much trouble in real life, so they feel encouraged when they see the “good guys“ win in the movies. 31 The Americans go to the movies mainly because they want_. （ A） to enjoy a good story （ B） to experience an exciting life （ C） to see the actors and actresses （ D） to escape t

41、re tired of their everyday lives （ B） feel inspired by the heroic deeds of the good guys （ C） want to see who win in the end （ D） have to cope with many problems in their lives 35 Prolonging Human Life Prolonging human life has increased the size of the human population. Many people alive today woul

42、d have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. Because more people live longer, there are more people around at any given time. In fact, it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in birthrates, that has led to the population explosion. Prolonging human life has also in

43、creased the dependency load. In all societies, people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine, infants might be allow

44、ed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, whereas if the parents survived they could have another child. In most contemporary societies, people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age

45、at which they want to work or are able to work; we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement, somebody else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so

46、little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illnesses than young or middle-aged people; unless they have wealth or private or government insurance, they must often “go on welfare“ if they have a serious illness. When older people become senile or too weak and ill to care for t

47、hemselves, they create grave problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at home until they died. Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this ne

48、ed, a great many nursing homes and convalescent hospitals have been built. These are often profit-making organizations, although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups. While a few of these institutions are good, most of them are simply “dumping grounds“ for the dying in which “c

49、are“ is given by poorly paid, overworked, and underskilled personnel. 36 The writer believes that the population explosion results from_. （ A） the industrial development （ B） an increase in birthrates （ C） cultural advances （ D） a decrease in death rates 37 It can be inferred from the passage that in hunting and gathering cultures_. （ A） infants could be left dead in times of starvation （ B） it was a moral responsibility to keep old-aged people alive （ C） death
