It includes their family life, religion, art, laws and language. The term “anthropology“ comes from two Greek words:
18、“anthropos“ means “human being“ and “logy“ means “the science of“. Anthropology can be divided into two areas. These two main divisions are cultural anthropology and physical anthropology. Culture includes many things, such as art, religion, laws, and even furniture and movies. Anthropologists defin
19、e human progress in three main steps. Step one begins with the first human being and continues until the last of the people who hunted animals just to survive. Step two includes people who grew food. In this step, there was progress in invention and religion. Step three deals with the first civiliza
20、tions, such as those in Egypt and parts of Asia. Anthropologists always seek new information about people. For instance, recent evidence found in Ethiopia and Kenya shows humans earlier in history than it was previously believed.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, anthropology is the study of_.（
21、分数：2.00）A.family life, religion and artB.the differences between science and artsC.human beingsD.different cultures(2).Which of the following belongs to the second step of human progress?（分数：2.00）A.Progress was made in religion and invention.B.Humans hunted animals just to survive.C.The first civili

25、0 milligrams of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood in the U. S. when tested. But there is no sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach this limit. It varies with each person depending on your weight, sex, and the sort of drinks you have had. Some people might reach their limit aft
26、er only about three standard drinks. In fact, your driving ability can be affected by just one or two drinks. Even if you re below the legal limit, you can still be taken to court if a police officer thinks your driving has been affected by alcohol. It takes about an hour for the body to get rid of
27、the alcohol in one standard drink. So, if you have a heavy drinking in the evening, you might find that your driving ability is still affected the next morning, or you could even find that you are still over the legal limit. In addition, if you have had a few drinks at lunchtime, another one or two
28、drinks in the early evening may well put you over the legal limit. In a test with professional drivers, the more alcoholic drinks they had had, the more certain they were that they could drive through a set of moveable posts in the driving test. and the less able they were to do it! So the only way
29、to be sure you re safe is not to drink at all. Alcohol is a major cause of road accidents. One in three of the drivers killed in road accidents have levels of alcohol which are over the legal limit, and road accidents after drinking are the biggest cause of death among young people. More than half o
30、f the people stopped by the police to take a breath analyzer test have a blood alcohol concentration of more than twice the legal limit. It is important to remember that driving after drinking doesn t just affect you. If you are involved in an accident, it affects a lot of other people as well, not
31、least the person you might kill or injure.（分数：10.00）(1).The amount of alcohol one can drink before reaching the legal limit_.（分数：2.00）A.is 80 milligrams of pure alcoholB.is about three standard drinksC.is different for different peopleD.is not relates to ones body weight(2).When might you be taken t
32、o court by the police for drinking and driving?（分数：2.00）A.When you have driven a vehicle after drinking any alcohol at all.B.When you have had at least three drinks before driving.C.Only when tests show that you have 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood.D.When the police think that y
33、our driving is affected by alcohol.(3).According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?（分数：2.00）A.When you have been drinking heavily in the evening, you might be still over the legal limit the next morning.B.The more alcoholic drinks the drivers have had, the more likely they are to pa

35、rink-related accidents than in any other wayC.drinking affects people s blood alcohol concentrationD.one in three drivers drink heavily(5).What does this article urge you to remember about driving after drinking?（分数：2.00）A.You may be taken to court by the police.B.You may put yourself in danger.C.Yo
36、u may find your driving ability affected.D.You may put many other people at risk.The three biggest lies in America are: 1) “The check is in the mail“ , 2) “Of course Ill respond to you in the morning“ , and 3 ) “ It was a computer error. “ Of these three little white lies, the worst is the third. It
37、 s the only one that can never be true. Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of $ 900 that way, you know what the clerk is sure to say, “It was a computer error. “ Nonsense. The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it. The most annoying case of all is when the compu
38、terized cashier in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar explanation: “It was a computer error. “ It wasn t, of course. That computerized cashier i
39、s really nothing more than an electric eye. The eye reads the Universal Product Codethat bar of black and white lines in a corner of the packageand then checks the code against a price list stored in memory. If the price list is right, youll be charged accurately. Grocery stores update the price lis
40、t each daythat is, somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices. If the price they type in is too high,there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty. But somehow “a computer error“ is supposed to excuse everything. One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common mi
41、sperception that huge, modern computers are “electric brain“ with “artificial intelligence. “ At some point there might be a machine with intelligence, but none exists today. The smartest computer on earth right now is no more “ intelligent“ than your average pen. At this point in the development of
42、 computers, the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instructed it to do.（分数：10.00）(1).Of the three lies, the one about computer is the worst because the computer itself_.（分数：2.00）A.says nonsenseB.cheats customersC.cannot make the errorD.does not admit its error(2).According to the auth
43、or, a computerized cashier is really just_.（分数：2.00）A.a machine to count moneyB.a machine to receive moneyC.an instrument to print codesD.an instrument to read codes(3).Grocery store price lists are updated by_.（分数：2.00）A.a computerB.a keyboardC.an employeeD.an electric brain(4).The last paragraph o
44、f the passage implies that computers_.（分数：2.00）A.are very cleverB.never make mistakesC.have a good memoryD.are controlled by men(5).Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Computers are stupid and inefficient.B.Computer errors are due to its dishonesty.C.Computers he

46、c(交感的)nervous system activity. This restful state not only allows the body to repair and restore itself, but it has a calming effect on the consciousness. How to achieve this state of relaxation, however, is a matter of opinion, and in some medical circles, a matter of controversy. A recent report b
47、y Dr. David Holmes of the University of Kansas in the journal “ American psychologist“ said that simple sitting in an armchair has just as many beneficial characteristics for the body as meditation (沉思) does. Researchers of other relaxation techniques disagree. These experts believe that more struct
48、ured techniques, such as meditation, lead to a condition of deep relaxation. The debate goes on, but one thing appears to be clear: the relaxation response can be reached by a number of methods, and the methods themselves are not as important as getting there. One day, one method may work best: on a
49、nother day, an alternative method may be more appropriate. Once you are aware of all the methods, you can find the one that works best for you. Some of the relaxation techniques are meditation, autoanalysis(自我心理分析) and progressive muscle relaxation response. More than just sitting quietly in a chair, they have the added benefit of struct
