Owls live in almost every country of the world. Owls are mostly nocturnal, meaning they are awake at night. Owls are predators
20、they hunt the food that they eat. Owls hunt for mice and other small mammals, insects, and even fish. Owls are well adapted for hunting. Their soft feathers make their flight nearly silent. They have very good hearing, which helps them to hunt well in the darkness. The sharp hooked beaks and claws o
21、f the owl make it very easy to tear apart prey quickly, although owls also eat some prey whole. Owl eyes are unusual. Like most predators, both of the owls eyes face front. The owl cannot move its eyes. Owls are far-sighted, which means they can see very well far away, but they cant see up close ver
22、y well at all. Fortunately, their distant vision is what they use for hunting, and they can see far away even in low light. Owl can turn their heads 180 degrees. This makes it look like they might be able to turn their heads all the way around, but 180 degrees is all the owl needs to see whats going
23、 on all around him. (66) Perhaps because of the owls mysterious appearance, especially its round eyes and flexible neck, there are a lot of myths and superstitions (迷信) about owls. Many cultures believe that owls are unusually wise. Because owls are nocturnal, some cultures associate owls with bad o
24、mens. However, owls probably do not interact with the fates of humans at all. In fact, some owl species may become extinct because of humans.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following is NOT true about owls?（分数：2.00）A.Owls eat small animals.B.Owls are able to fly silently.C.Owls have very poor vision.D.Ow
25、ls have flexible necks.(2).What is the purpose of this story?（分数：2.00）A.To entertain.B.To persuade.C.To instruct.D.To inform.(3).What would be a good title for this story?（分数：2.00）A.Owls Are Interesting AnimalsB.Owls Hunt At NightC.Owls Can Fly SilentlyD.Owls May Become Extinct(4).From the context,
26、we know a predator must be_.（分数：2.00）A.a small feather that is fairly softB.an animal that hunts other animalsC.a small mouse coming out at nightD.a bird that flies without noise(5).Why does it look like an owl can turn its head completely around?（分数：2.00）A.They can turn their heads 1/2 of the way a
27、round.B.They are able to turn their heads very quickly.C.They have ears located on the sides of their heads.D.They appear at night when people cannot see clearly.(67) Whether at home or in a restaurant, meals in Brazil are sacred(神圣的) ; a time to eat, but also to share precious moments with family a
28、nd friends. Now, heres a Brazilian custom I miss enormously: a decent, sit-down, leisurely-paced lunch and/or dinner. To this day, I have to keep reminding myself, “whats the big hurry? “ and I confess that one of the things I look forward to, when I go to Brazil, is the “family“ meal. We have a jok
29、e that, if you see people sitting around a table in the US, having lunch for longer than 1/2 hour, it must be a business lunch. And also, sitting at your desk and eating lunch while you work is incomprehensible to most Brazilians, who leave their offices to eat with their colleagues and friends in r
30、estaurants and cafes. You guess, lunch is usually a more substantial meal than in the U.S. (68) For lunch and, depending on the location, also dinner, Brazilians have wonderful, inexpensive restaurants where home-style meals are sold by kilo. You just pile the food on your plate and someone will wei
31、gh it for you. The same goes for desserts. You order drinks from your waiter and pay him at the end of your meal. Dinner is served much later than in the U. S. In the big cities, children are a common sight in restaurants at night, since Brazilians will take their kids out to dinner at all hours. As
32、 a result of this and the traditional Sunday lunches, Brazilian kids learn table manners at an early age. For many of my Brazilian friends, dinner is a lighter meal of bread, cheese and cold cuts. So expect either type of meal.（分数：10.00）(1).In Brazil, people usually have meals_.（分数：2.00）A.in a hurry
33、 at restaurantsB.in a leisurely mannerC.at their desk in the officeD.for less than 1/2 hour(2).It can be inferred that in the U. S. _.（分数：2.00）A.business lunches last longerB.lunch usually lasts for an hourC.people eat quite a lot for lunchD.people never eat while they work(3).According to the passa
34、ge, how are meals sold in some Brazilian restaurants?（分数：2.00）A.Foods have very low but different prices.B.All dinners pay the same amount of money.C.Dinners pay according to the number of plates.D.Meals are charged according to their weight.(4).Why do Brazilian children learn table manners early?（分
35、数：2.00）A.Because their parents are very strict with them at table.B.Because they eat out with adults when they are young.C.Because they will have nothing to eat if they dont behave.D.Because they learn all kinds of manners at an early age.(5).What is the authors attitude towards the eating habits in
36、 Brazil?（分数：2.00）A.The author doesnt think much of them.B.The author likes those in the U. S. better.C.The author appreciates them very much.D.The author shows no emotions whatever.Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. (69) According to recent polls (民 意测试) , si
37、xty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very unhappy. Psychologists have been studying the factors that contribute to happiness. It is not predictable nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy. The ideal
38、situation may have little to do with his actual feelings. A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness. Though both may contribute, they are only chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs. The rich are not l
39、ikely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes. (70) People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school, and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunity to control their lives. Yet peopl
40、e with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education. Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely disabled or those in pain. Learning to cope with a health problem can contribute to happiness. Those with a good se
41、x life are happier in general, but those who have a loving, affectionate relationship are happier than those who rely on sex alone. Love has a higher correlation with happiness than any other factor. It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have, and they are happiest when they f
42、eel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands at a given time. Children whose parents were happily married have happier childhoods yet they are not necessarily happier adults when they grow up. The best formula for happiness is to be able to develop the ability to tolerate frustratio
43、n, to have a personal involvement and commitment, and to develop self-confidence and self-esteem.（分数：10.00）(1).It can be inferred from the passage that_.（分数：2.00）A.happiness is predictableB.a person in an apparently ideal situation must be happyC.happiness is not necessarily connected to ones situat
44、ion in societyD.the rich are likely to be happier than the middle-income group(2).People with college education_.（分数：2.00）A.have less opportunity to control their livesB.have more opportunity to control their livesC.are not happier than those who have only an education at high schoolD.are much happi
45、er than those who did not graduate from high school(3).According to the article, happiness is greatly dependent upon_.（分数：2.00）A.a happy childhoodB.great wealthC.a college degreeD.a feeling that conditions are becoming for the better(4).Which of the following is most likely to contribute to happines
46、s?（分数：2.00）A.Being exceptionally good-looking.B.Having a good paying job.C.Having a loving, affectionate relationship.D.Meeting lots of people.(5).Which of the following attitudes of feelings is most likely to be found in happy people?（分数：2.00）A.Having self-esteem.B.Being sure of keeping everything
47、they already have.C.Never being jealous.D.Knowing how to be charming.Why do we laugh? For years scientists have asked themselves this question. No other animals laugh and smile, only human beings. So does laughter help us to survive in any way? The answer seems to be that smiling and laughter help u
48、s to relax, reducing tension and preventing illnesses which are caused by stress. Laughter really is the best medicine! But if youre unhappy, it cant do you any good to smile, can it? Not true. Apparently, the positive effects of smiling are just the same whether you feel like smiling or not. Scient
49、ists in California asked a group of actors to act five different feelings; happiness, sadness, anger, surprise and fearjust using their faces. Changes in their heart rate, blood pressure and temperature were written down. Most of the feelings they acted didnt cause changes, but when the actors smiled, their heart rate and their blood pressure went down. This happened to make them feel
