16、：12.00)Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I co
17、uld not do mental arithmetic.Before the World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crysta
18、l-clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and, above all, the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm bas led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil wh
19、ile reading about other peoples observations and discoveries. Then something happens that burning these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the fiddle (迷), because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books,
20、which some might honour with the title of scientific research.But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist requires not only self
21、-discipline but hard training, determination and a goal. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.（分数：12.00）(1).The first paragraph tells us that the author _.（分数：3.00）A.was intersted in flowers and insects in his chil
22、dhoodB.lost his hearing when he was a childC.didnt like his brothers and sistersD.was born to a naturalists family(2).The author cant remember his relatives clearly because _.（分数：3.00）A.he didnt live very long with themB.the family was extremely largeC.he was too young when he lived with themD.he wa
23、s fully occupied with observing nature(3).It can be inferred from the passage that the author was _.（分数：3.00）A.a scientist as well as a naturalistB.a naturalist but not a scientistC.no more than a born naturalistD.first of all a scientist(4).According to the author, a born naturalist should first of
24、 all be _.（分数：3.00）A.full of ambitionB.knowledgeC.full of enthusiasmD.self-disciplined六、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Sporting activities are essentially modified forms of hunting behaviour. Viewed biologically, the modern footballer is in reality a member of a hunting group. His killing weapon has tur
25、ned into a harmless football and his prey into a goal-mouth. If his aim is accurate and he scores a goal, he enjoys the hunters triumph of killing his prey.To understand how this transformation has taken place we must briefly look back at our forefathers. They spent over a million years evolving as
26、cooperative hunters. Their very survival depended on success in tie hunting-field. Under this pressure their whole way of life, even their bodies, became greatly changed. They became chasers, runners, jumpers, aimers, throwers and prey-killers. They cooperated as skillful male-group attackers.Then a
27、bout ten thousand years ago, after this immensely long period of hunting their food, they became farmers. Their improved intelligence, so vital to their old hunting life, was put to a new usethat of controlling and domesticating their prey. The hunting became suddenly out of date. The food was there
28、 on the farms, awaiting their needs. The risks and uncertainties of the hunting were no longer essential for survival.The skills and thirst for hunting remained, however, and demanded new outlets. Hunting for sport replaced hunting for necessity. This new activity involved all the original hunting s
29、equences but the aim of the operation was no longer to avoid starvation. Instead the sportsmen set off to test their skill against prey that were no longer essential to their survival. To be sure, the kill may have been eaten but there were other much simpler ways of obtaining a meaty meal.（分数：12.00
30、）(1).The author believes that sporting activities.（分数：3.00）A.are forms of biological developmentB.have actually developed from huntingC.are essentially forms of taming the preyD.have changed the ways of hunting(2).In a football game what is equal to the prey in hunting is _.（分数：3.00）A.any member of
31、the opposing teamB.the goal-mouthC.the goal keeperD.the football(3).For over a million years, our forefathers were basically, _.（分数：3.00）A.successful farmersB.co-operating huntersC.runners and jumpersD.skillful sportsmen(4).The word “operation“ (Line 3, Par（分数：3.00）A.4) refers to _.A. sports activit
32、iesB. huntingC. prey killingD. domesticating animals七、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：12.00)If women are mercilessly exploited (剥削) year after year, they are only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advanta
33、ge of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe (衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothi
34、ng to wear.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Ski
35、rts are lengthened or shortened; necklines are lowered or raised, and so on.No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion desihners are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用). They are only interested in outw
36、ard appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look fight. There can hardly be a man who hasnt at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, delicately picking her way through
37、 deep snow in high-heeled shoes.When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashion of womens clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be treated by
38、 fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualifies of stabililty and feasibility? Thats for you to decide.（分数：12.00）(1).Designers and big stores always make money _.（分数：3.00）A.by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industryB.because they are capable of p
39、redicting new fashionsC.by constantly changing the fashion in women s clothingD.because they attach great importance to quality in womens clothing(2).To the writer, the fact that women alter their old-fashion dress is seen as _.（分数：3.00）A.a waste of moneyB.a waste of timeC.an expression of tasteD.an
40、 expression of creativity(3).The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the _ of clothing.（分数：3.00）A.costB.appearanceC.comfortD.suitability(4).According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?（分数：3.00）A.New fashions in clothing are created for the
41、 commercial exploitation of women.B.The constant changes in womens clothing reflect their strength of character.C.The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.D.Fashion designers should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.八、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Climate,
42、more than any other single factor, determines the distribution of life on earth. Climatic boundaries establish the limits which organisms can survive. Plants, even more than animals, must be well adapted to climate in order to survive. They cannot move about or take shelter but must be equipped to e
43、ndure whatever weather conditions are likely to occur. In the harsh conditions of the tundra, for example, low growing mosses, lichens, and a few flowering plants all hug the ground for shelter from icy winds.Animals, despite their ability to move about and find shelter, are just as much influenced
44、by climate as plants are. Creatures such as the camel and the penguin are so highly specialized that they have an extremely limited distribution. Others, such as bears are flexible enough to adapt to a broad range of climates. Oceandwelling organisms are just as sensitive to climatic changesin this
45、case temperature and salinityas land animals. Reef corals can survive only in clear warm seawater. Certain foraminifers are so sensitive to changes in their environment that their presence can be taken as an index of sea temperature. Human beings are among the least specialized of all animals and ca
46、n live almost anywhere. Their clothes and their homes act as a sort of “miniature climate“ that can be taken with them everywhere.（分数：12.00）(1).According to the passage, plants on the tundra grow in the ground _.（分数：3.00）A.to avoid being eaten by arctic animalsB.because fertilizer is not readily ava
47、ilableC.to minimize exposure to the coldD.because unfrozen water supplies are very scarce(2).According to the passage, which of the following can be found in areas with quite different climatic conditions on Earth?（分数：3.00）A.Reef corals.B.Penguins.C.Bears.D.Camels.(3).It can be inferred from the pas
48、sage that foraminifers are a _.（分数：3.00）A.kind of weather patternB.form of sea lifeC.species of tundra plantD.type of miniature penguin(4).According to the passage, human beings can survive almost everywhere on earth because _.（分数：3.00）A.they have developed advanced forms of transportationB.they hav
49、e learned how to process sea water for drinkingC.their body temperature can vary considerablyD.their shelters and clothes help them to adapt themselves to the environment九、Passage Five(总题数：1，分数：12.00)To understand the marketing concept, it is only necessary to understand the difference between marketing and selling. Not too many years ago, most industries concentrated primarily on the efficient production of goods, a
