15、d the witty (诙谐的) story must be brief and end with a point. The humorous story continues gently along, the other two burst.The humorous story is strictly a work of art-high and delicate (精美的) art-and only an artist can tell it; But no art is necessary in telling the comic and witty stories; anybody
16、can do it. The art of telling a humorous story-I mean by word of mouth, not print-was created in America, and has remained at home.The humorous story is told seriously; the teller does his best to hide the fact that he him- self even suspects that there is anything funny about it; but the teller of

21、eds on fruit instead of insects. Like all bats, flying foxes hang themselves by their toes when it rest, and travel in great crowds when out flying. A group will live in one spot for years. Some- times several hundreds of them occupy(占据) a single tree. As they return to the tree toward sunrise, they
22、 quarrel among themselves and fight for the best places until long after daylight.Flying foxes have babies once a year, giving birth to only one at a time. At first the mother has to carry the baby On her breast wherever she goes. Later she leaves it hanging up, and brings back food for it to eat. S
23、ometimes a baby falls down to the ground and squeaks(尖叫) for help. Then the older ones swoop (俯冲) down and try to pick it Up. If they fail to do so, it will die. Often hundreds of dead baby bats can be found lying on the ground at the foot of a tree.（分数：12.00）(1).The passage tells us that there is n

The bar often stayed open until after midnight, because people came to drink there while they were waiting for trains.At two oclock one morning, one man was still sitting at
27、a table in the small bar. He was asleep. The barmans wife wanted to go to bed. She looked into the bar several times, and each time the man was still there. Then at last she went to her husband and said to him, “Youve waken that man six times now, George, but he isnt drinking anything. Why havent yo
28、u sent him away? It is very late.“Oh, no, I dont want to send him away, “answered her husband with a smile: “You see, whenever I wake him up, he asks for his bill, and when I bring it to him.

31、e wag kind-hearted八、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：12.00)For some time past it has been widely accepted that babies and other creatures learn to de things because certain acts lead to “rewards“; and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective rewards,
32、at least in the early stages, had to be directly related to such basic physiological “drives“ as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink or some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise.It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that
33、produce results in the world with no reward except the successful outcome.Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to “reward“ the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had
34、 enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the childrens responses in situations where no milk was provided. He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to righ
35、t or left if the movement “switched on“ a display of lights-and indeed that they were capable of learning quite complex turns to bring about this result. For instance, two left or two right, or even to make as many as three turns to one side.Papouseks light display was placed directly in front of th
36、e babies and he made the interesting observation that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the lights closely although they would “smile and bubble“ when the display came on. Papousek concluded that it was not primarily the sight of the lights which pleased them, it was the success they were
37、achieving in solving the problem, in mastering the skill, and that there exists a fundamental human urge to make sense of the world and bring it under intentional control.（分数：12.00）(1).According to the author, babies learn to do things which _.（分数：3.00）A.are directly related to pleasureB.will meet t
38、heir physical needsC.will bring them a feeling of successD.will satisfy their curiosity(2).Papusek noticed in his studies that baby _.（分数：3.00）A.would make learned responses when. it saw the milkB.would carry out learned movements when it had enough to drinkC.would continue the simple movements with
39、out being given milkD.would turn its head to right or left when it had enough to drink(3).In Papuseks experiment babies make learned movements of the head in order to _.（分数：3.00）A.have the lights turned onB.be rewarded with milkC.please their parentsD.be praised(4).The babies would “smile and bubble
40、 at the lights because _.（分数：3.00）A.the lights were directly related to some basic “drives“B.the sight of the lights was interestingC.they need not turn back to watch the lightsD.they succeeded in “switching on“ the lights九、Passage Five(总题数：1，分数：12.00)The idea of a fish being able to generate elect
41、ricity strong enough to light lamp bulbs-or even to run a small electric motor-is almost unbelievable, but several kinds of fish are able to do this. Even more strangely, this curious power has been acquired in different ways by fish be- longing to very different families.Perhaps the best known are
42、the electric rays, or torpedoes (电鱼), of which several kinds live in warm seas. They posses on each side of the head, behind the eyes, a large organ consisting of a number of hexagonal shaped cells rather like a honeycomb. The cells are filled with a jelly-like substance, and contain a series of fla
43、t electric plates. One side, the negative side, of each plate, is supplied with very fine nerves, connected with a main nerve coming from a special part of the brain. Current passes from the upper, positive side of the organ downwards to the negative, lower side. Generally it is necessary to touch t
44、he fish in two places, completing the circuit, in order to receive a shock.The strength of this shock depends on the size of the fish, but newly born ones only about 5 centimeters across can be made to light the bulb of a pocket flashlight for a few moments, while a fully grown torpedo gives a shock
45、 capable of knocking a man down, and, if suitable wires arc connected, will operate a small electric motor for several minutes.Another famous example is the electric eel. This fish gives an even more powerful shock. The system is different from that of the torpedo in that the electric plates run lon
46、gitudinally(纵向) and are supplied with nerves from the spinal(脊骨) cord. Consequently, the current passes along the fish from head to tail. The electric or gans of these fish are really altered muscles and like all muscles are apt(likely) to tire, so they are not able to produce electricity for very l
47、ong.The power of producing electricity may serve these fish both for defence and attack.（分数：12.00）(1).It can be seen from the passage that _.（分数：3.00）A.the capacity to generate electricity is the distinctive characteristic of the fishB.the current travels in an upward direction from the positive sid
48、e to negative side in torpedos electric cellsC.some fish can produce enough electricity to drive a number of electric motorsD.the torpedo s electric cells have a shape with six sides(2).Usually you will not get a shock by touching the electric ray in one place only because _.（分数：3.00）A.the current i
49、n one place is not strong enough to give a shockB.the fishs electric cells are filled with jelly-like substanceC.to complete the circuit, you have to touch the fish in two placesD.a torpedos electric cells contain more than one electric plates(3).The main idea of the third paragraph is that _.（分数：3.00）A.a mature torpedo is capable of producing enough electricity to knock down a manB.the
