12、ing ANSWER SHEET._Many people believe the glare from snow causes snow blindness. Yet, with dark glasses or not, they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snowblindness, when exposed to several hours of “snow light“. The United States Army has now determined that the g
13、lare from snow does not cause snow-blindness in troops in a snow-covered country. Rather, a mans eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad expanse of a snow-covered area. So his gaze continually shifts and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Fi
14、nding nothing, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become sore and the eye muscle aches. Nature balances this annoyance by producing more and more liquid which covers the eyeballs. The liquid covers the eyeballs in increasing quantity until vision blurs. And the result is
15、 total, even though temporary, snowblindness. Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts ahead of a main body of troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themsel
16、ves throw lightweight, dark-colored objects ahead on which they too can focus. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop searching through the snow-blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one objec
17、t at a time, the man can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snowblind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a solid white area is overcome.（分数：6.00）(1).The eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache because_.（分数：2.00）A.tears cover the eyeballsB.the eyes are annoyed by blinding sunl
18、ightC.the eyes are annoyed by blinding snowD.there is nothing to focus on(2).When the eyes are sore, tears are produced to_.（分数：2.00）A.clear the visionB.remedy snowblindnessC.ease the annoyanceD.loosen the muscles(3).Snow-blindness may be avoided by_.（分数：2.00）A.concentration on the solid white areaB
19、.providing the eyes with something to focus onC.searching for something to look at in snow-covered areasD.covering the eyeballs with liquidEmotion is a feeling about or reaction to certain important events or thoughts. People enjoy feeling such pleasant emotions as love, happiness, and contentment.
20、They often try to avoid feeling unpleasant emotions, such as loneliness, worry, and grief. Individuals communicate most of their emotions by means of words, a variety of sounds, facial expressions, and gestures. For example, anger causes many people to frown, make a fist, and yell. People learn ways
21、 of showing some of their emotions from members of their society, though heredity (遗传) may determine some emotional behavior. Research has shown that different isolated peoples show emotions by means of similar facial expressions. Charles Darwin, famous for the theory of natural selection, also stud
22、ied emotion. Darwin said in 1872 that emotional behavior originally served both as an aid to survival and as a method of communicating intentions. According to the James-Lange theory of emotions developed in the 1880s, people feel emotions only if aware of their own internal physical reactions to ev
23、ents, such as increased heart rate or blood pressure. But this theory was not upheld by research on cats that had their nervous systems damaged. The cats could not feel their bodys internal changes, but they showed normal emotional behavior. John B. Watson, an American psychologist who helped found
24、the school of psychology called behaviorism, observed that babies stimulated by certain events showed three basic emotions-fear, anger, and love. Watsons view has been challenged frequently since he proposed it in 1919. The most widely accepted view is that emotions occur as a complex sequence of ev
25、ents. The sequence begins when a person encounters an important event or thought. The persons interpretation of the encounter determines the feeling that is likely to follow. For example, someone who encounters a bear in the woods would probably interpret the event as dangerous. The sense of danger
26、would cause the individual to feel fear. Each feeling is followed by physical changes and desires to take action, which are responses to the event that started the sequence. Thus, a person who met a bear would probably run away. Several American psychologists independently developed the theory that
27、there are eight basic emotions. These emotionswhich can exist at various levels of intensityare anger, fear, joy, sadness, acceptance, disgusts, surprise, and interest or curiosity. They combine to form all other emotions, just as certain basic colors produce all others.（分数：10.00）(1).It can be infer

29、ames-Lange theory of emotions_.（分数：2.00）A.overlooked internal physical reactionsB.exaggerated the function of stimulating eventsC.faced a challenge from counter evidenceD.offered a narrow interpretation of emotions(3).In the sequence of events for emotions to occur, which is next to the encounter of

31、em may have basic elements mixed in them(5).The main purpose of this writing is to_.（分数：2.00）A.arouse readers interest in emotional behaviorsB.help readers enjoy pleasant emotionsC.outline the development of theories about emotionsD.analyze various emotions and physical changesThe worlds population
32、continues to grow. There now are about 4 billion of us on earth. That could reach 6 billion by the end of the century and 11 billion in another 75 years. Experts long have been concerned about such growth. Where will we find the food, water, jobs, houses, schools and health care for all these people
33、? A major new study shows that the situation may be changing. A large and rapid drop in the worlds birth rate has taken place during the past 10 years. Families generally are smaller now than they were a few years ago. It is happening in both developing and industrial nations. Researchers said they
34、found a number of reasons for this. More men and women are waiting longer to get married and are using birth control devices and methods to prevent or delay pregnancy. More women are going to school or working at jobs away from their homes instead of having children. And more governments, especially
35、 in developing nations, now support family planning programs to reduce population growth. China is one of the nations that has made great progress in reducing its population growth. China has already cut its rate of population growth by about one half since 1970. China now urges each family to have
36、no more than one child. And it hopes to reach zero population growth, the number of births equaling the number of deaths, by the year 2000. Several nations in Europe already have fewer births than deaths. Experts said that these nations could face a serious shortage of workers in the future. And the
37、 persons who are working could face much higher taxes to help support the growing number of retired people.（分数：12.00）(1).In Paragraph One, the sentence “Experts long have been concerned about such growth“, the phrase “concerned about“ is similar in meaning to_.（分数：2.00）A.worried aboutB.related toC.e

39、birth control devices and methods have been usedC.women would rather go to study or work than have childrenD.all the above reasons are true(4).By the year 2000, the number of births and the number of deaths in China will _.（分数：2.00）A.be greatly differentB.be equal to each otherC.drop a great dealD.b

I picked it up and open
42、ed it to see if I could find out the owners name. There was nothing inside it except some change and an old photographa picture of a woman and a young girl about twelve years old, who looked like the womans daughter. I put the photograph back and took the wallet to the police station, where I handed
43、 it to the desk sergeant. Before I left, the sergeant took down my name and address in case the owner might want to write and thank me. That evening I went to have dinner with my aunt and uncle. They had also invited a young woman so that there would be four people at the table. Her face was familia
44、r. I was quite sure that we had not met before, but I couldnt remember where I had seen her. In the course of conversation, however, the young woman happened to mention that she had lost her wallet that afternoon. All at once I realized where I had seen her. She was the young girl in the photograph,
45、 although she was now much older. She was very surprised, of course, when I was able to describe her wallet to her. Then I explained that I had recognized her from the photograph I had found in the wallet. My uncle insisted on going to the police station immediately to claim the wallet. As the polic
