24、d? Or is the bee just a machine, unable to do its mathematics and dance its language in any other way? To use Donald GrifTms term, does a bee have awareness, or to use a phrase I like better, can a bee think and imagine?There is an experiment for this, or at least an observation, make long ago by Ka

25、rl Von Frisch and more recently confirmed by James Gould at Princeton, Biologists who wish to study such things as bee navigation, language, and behavior in general have to train their bees to fly from the hive to one or another special place. To do this, they begin by placing a source of sugar very

26、 close to the hive so that the bees (considered by their trainers to be very dumb beasts) can learn what the game is about. Then, at regular intervals, the dish or whatever is moved progressively father and farther from the hive in increments (增长) of about 25 percent at each move. Eventually, the ta

27、rget is being moved 100 feet or more at a jump, very far from the hive. Sooner or later, while this process is going on, the biologists shifting the dish of sugar will find the bees are out there waiting for them, precisely where the next position had been planned. This is an uncomfortable observati

28、on to make.41 With what subject is the passage mainly concerned?（A）The bee, a social animal.（B） Navigational techniques of bees.（C） Testing the awareness of bees.（D）The bee hive, natures candy shop. 42 Why does the author mention Karl Von Frisch in the second paragraph?（A）To make people believe his

29、description of the beehive.（B） To introduce Karls observation on bee behavior.（C） To contrast his theories with those of Karl Von Frisch.（D）To support the argument that bees use sunlight to navigate. 43 According to the passage, sugar was used in the study to _.（A）feed the bees during the experiment

32、A question is followed by a possible answer.（D）Recent experiments on bees are outlined. 45 Considered as a continuous body of fluid, the atmosphere is another kind of ocean. Yet, in view of the total amount of rain and snow on land areas in the course of a year, one of the most amazing water facts i

33、s the very small amount of water in the atmosphere at any given time. The volume of the lower seven miles of the atmosphere-the realm of weather events- is roughly four times the volume of the worlds oceans. But the atmosphere contains very little water. It is chiefly in the form of invisible vapor,

34、 some of which is carried over land by air currents. If all vapor suddenly fell from the air onto the earths surface, it would form a layer only about one inch thick. A heavy rainstorm on a given area may use up only a small percentage of the water from the air mass that passes over. How, then, can

35、some land areas receive more than 400 inches of rain per year? How can several inches of rain fall during a single storm in a few minutes or hours? The answer is that rain yielding air masses are in motion, and as the driving air mass moves on, new moist air takes its place.The basic source of most

36、water vapor is the ocean, evaporation, vapor transport, and precipitation (陈雨) make up the continuous movement of water from ocean to atmosphere to land and back to the sea. Rivers return water the sea. In an underground arc (弧 ) of the cycle, flowing bodies of water discharge some water directly in

37、to rivers and some directly to the sea.46 What might have been discussed before this passage?（A）The ocean.（B） The earth.（C） The rainfall.（D）The atmosphere. 47 It can be inferred from the passage that _.（A）the atmosphere has a lot of water in it when it circulates（B） the water in the atmosphere is pu

38、rer than that in the worlds oceans（C） the amount of water in the atmosphere is greater than that in the oceans in the world（D）the small amount of water in the atmosphere plays an important role in the yearly rainfall 48 Which of the following is true according to the passage?（A）The volume of the atm

39、osphere is four times that of the worlds.（B） The water in the oceans is the main source of rain and snow on land areas.（C） The atmosphere is mainly composed of the vapor carded over land by air currents.（D）The earth cannot support the water in the atmosphere if it falls down onto the earth suddenly.

40、 49 Which of the following cannot be known from the passage?（A）There is little water contained in the atmosphere even in a heavy rainstorm.（B） In some places there falls an amount of over 400 inches of rain every year.（C） Most water vapor comes from the Oceans all over the world.（D）The process of wa

41、ter returning to the atmosphere is called evaporation. 50 Which of the following may best describe the writers style in writing the passage?（A）Humorous.（B） Light-hearted.（C） Factual and informative.（D）Informal and careless. 50 Leading Sydney citizens used to complain that Sydney, unlike many smaller

42、 cities in Europe and America, lacked a large modem center for the arts. Public pressure became so great that a committee was finally set up to look into the situation and make proposals. It considered thirty possible sites before it chose Bennelong Point. The Government decided to find a design for

43、 an Opera House by holding a worldwide competition. The prizes were quite small, but the winner could expect to earn a lot more when he designed the working plans and took charge of the construction. An international group of judges received designs from more than thirty-two countries. They all agre

44、ed that the first prize should go to Iota Utzon, who had sent in a highly imaginative, bold design of a great building that looked like a beautiful concrete butterfly. They nevertheless commented that Utzons drawings lacked detail. They were thought to go beyond the limit of existing technology.Even

45、 before the difficult construction work began on the roof, the engineering firm had to face unusual technical problems in building the platform. About seven hundred concrete piers (码头) had to be sunk to a depth of thirteen meters in Sydney Harbor to support the building. The company ran into so many

46、 difficulties that they had to be paid twice as much as was originally agreed upon.Almost six years were needed to work out a way of building the platform. Thousands of calculations were made using a computer. Utzon had had disagreements with many engineers. But most Australians are extremely proud

47、of this house which stands on the finest site of any public building constructed this century.51 From the passage we can see that this building _.（A）was big enough to hold all the citizens of the city（B） was difficult because of the lack of detail（C） was the most modem Opera House till then（D）was bu
