Earthworms feel vibrations in the soil, fish can be trained to res
21、pond to certain tones, male mosquitoes are attracted by the sound of the female, and frogs will respond to a tape recording of their own voices. The inner ear is composed of delicate membranes which bear dense patches of specialized cells called maculae. Each of these collections of cells can carry
22、a message to the brain. What message is carried by a macula depends upon how it is affected. The message which is carried is not, however, always connected with the hearing sense. For instance, a certain kind of tadpole can tell the depth of the water it is swimming in by the pitch of a tone which i
23、s produced by its own lungs. In the human and all other mammals, the macula has developed into an organ which can easily be seen. This organ is called the cochlea. This spiral shaped organ contains the macula itself and it is called “organ of Corti“ after its discoverer. If you have ever seen a snai
24、l shell, you know how a cochlea looks. When sound waves enter the cochlea, which is really a tube coiled around, they set a membrane into a back and forth motion and cause a new wave. This is something like the way in which high and low sounds are produced by a flute or whistle. The high sounds are
25、produced when the air is prevented by the holes from going through, while the low sounds are produced by allowing more of the air to pass. All this is what produces the differences between high and low sounds. The loudness of a sound is evidently produced by how much the membrane is cause to move. W
26、hether or not hearing is really produced in all animals by the effect of pressure is not definitely known by scientists as yet. We do know, however, that nature has set up some very delicate hearing mechanisms for its creatures. Scientists must explore much further for more knowledge about how anima
27、ls use their ears. （分数：4.00）(1).According to the article practically all animals have some sense of （分数：1.00）A.directionB.hearingC.vibrationD.both B and C(2). The cochlea is found （分数：1.00）A.in fishB.only in humansC.in all animalsD.in all mammals(3).Scientists know （分数：1.00）A.that all animals have a
28、 cochleaB.very little about hearing in animalsC.that mosquitoes cannot hear soundsD.that hearing is produced by air pressure in mammals.(4). The article is mostly about _ （分数：1.00）A.how sound is producedB.learning by observingC.the workings of the inner earD.outer ear formation in various animalsQue
29、stions 45 to 48 are based on the following passage: Dear Ms. Answers, Ive been offered a job promotion that would require me to relocate abroad to Paris from Chicago. The salary for my new position would be much higher than what Im getting now, and Ive always wanted to work in the French branch of o
30、ur company, but Im worried that living in Paris could be more expensive than where I live now. If this is the case, perhaps the increase in salary wont make a big difference. Can you tell me anything about the cost of living in Paris? Thank you, Raphael Daniels Dear Mr. Daniels, Congratulations on r
31、eceiving such a wonderful employment opportunity. Living and working in a foreign country is not something that many people get to do. Although it can be a very rewarding experience, it can also be very expensive if your finances are not managed properly. In the same way that you will need to adjust
32、 to a different language, customs, and culture, you will also need to develop new daily routines and spending habits. This aspect of living abroad can be difficult for some people who may be tempted to live their daily lives as if they are on vacation: eating in fancy restaurants, buying expensive s
33、ouvenirs, and going sightseeing. It is natural to live like you are on vacation when moving to a foreign environment, but it is important not to get carried away. Establishing a weekly and monthly budget for yourself is the best way to take control of your new financial situation. It may be helpful
34、to keep track of your spending habits for the first weeks after your arrival and establish a budget based on that. As long as you manage your finances as you would if you were at home, living in Paris should not be any more expensive than living where you are now. In my research, the only two things
35、 I found that were significantly more expensive in Paris than in Chicago were taxi fares and high-speed trains. Fortunately, Paris has an excellent, rather inexpensive subway system.

37、a guide book(3). In Ms. Answers e-mail, the word “track“ in paragraph 3, line 4, is closest in meaning to （分数：1.00）A.footstepB.coverC.recordD.roadway(4).What does Ms. Answers say about the subway? （分数：1.00）A.It is new.B.It is dirty.C.It is inefficient.D.It is inexpensive.uestions 49 to 52 are based
38、on the following passage: Ostrum GE, the second largest power company in the Nordic countries, officially opened its first Hydrogen Energy Station (HES), with technology products provided by Gredler Energy Systems Corporation. The new station will supply clean hydrogen fuel to three fuel cell buses
39、as part of the prestigious Green Europe Advanced Transport (GREAT) program. Stockholm (斯德哥尔摩) is one of four GREAT cities that will be using Gredler Energy hydrogen infrastructure products. Mr. Peter Russell, Chief Operating Officer of Gredler Energy, was in Stockholm for the station opening and com
40、mented, “The opening of this station represents the first step in the introduction of a hydrogen infrastructure in the City of Stockholm. Ostrum and the City of Stockholm have taken an essential step towards creating a pathway to environmentally sustainable urban transportation solutions and we are
41、delighted to be part of this important movement.“ The Stockholm HES is comprised of four modules: pressurized water electrolysis-based hydrogen generation, compression, high-pressure storage and hydrogen fuel dispenser. The station is capable of producing approximately 120kg per day of high-purity,
42、high-pressure hydrogen using Gredler Energys proprietary technology. Each fuel cell bus carries approximately 40kg of hydrogen at 350bar (5,000psi). Gredler Energy Systems Corporation is the world leading developer and supplier of integrated hydrogen solutions, all using the companys proprietary hyd
43、rogen generation water electrolysis technology along with products from corporate partners. （分数：4.00）(1).Who will be in charge of the new hydrogen energy station7 （分数：1.00）A.Oredler Energy SystemsB.Ostrum GEC.The GREAT ProgramD.The City of Stockholm(2).How much hydrogen will the new station produce

45、rporation.C.It promotes the use of non-polluting fuels.D.It studies the effects of hydrogen on the atmosphere.Questions 53 to 56 are based on the following passage: The rise of multinational corporations, global marketing, new communication technologies, and shrinking cultural differences have led t
46、o an unparalleled increase in global public relations or PR. Surprisingly, since modern PR was largely an American invention, the U.S. leadership in public relations is being threatened by PR efforts in other countries. Twenty years ago, for example, the worlds top five public relations agencies wer
47、e American-owned. In 2003, only one was. The British in particular are becoming more sophisticated and creative. A recent survey found that more than half of all British companies include PR as part of their corporate planning activities, compared to about one third of U.S. companies. It may not be
48、long before London replaces New York as the capital of PR. Why is America lagging behind in the global PR race? First, Americans as a whole tend to be fairly provincial and take more of an interest in local affairs. Knowledge of world geography, for example, has never been strong in this country. Se
49、condly, Americans lag behind their European and Asian counterparts in knowing a second language. Less than 5 percent of Burson-Marshalls U.S. employees know two languages. Ogilvy and Mather has about the same percentage. Conversely, some European firms have half of more of their employees fluent in a second language. Finally, people involved in PR abroad tend to keep a closer eye on
