27、 been recognized that mammals and birds differ from other animals in the way they regulate body temperature. Ways of 【 C1】 _ the difference have become more accurate and meaningful over time, but popular terminology still reflects the old 【 C2】 _ into “warm blooded“ and “cold blooded“ species; warm
28、blooded included mammals and birds, 【 C3】 _ all other creatures were considered cold blooded. As more species were studied, it became evident that this classification was 【 C4】 _. A fence lizard usually has a body temperature only a degree or two below that of humans and so is not cold. Therefore th
29、e next distinction was made between animals that maintain a 【 C5】 _ body temperature and those whose body temperature varies with their environment.

30、, many invertebrates that live in the 【 C7】 _of the ocean never experience a change in the chill of the deep water, and their body temperatures remain constant. The current distinction is between animals whose body temperature is regulated chiefly by internal metabolic processes and those whose temp
31、erature is regulated by the 【 C8】 _. The latter do so mainly by moving to favorable sites or by changing their exposure to 【 C9】 _ sources of heat. Mammals and birds also regulate their temperature by choosing favorable environments, but primarily they regulate their temperature by 【 C10】 _ a variet
32、y of internal adjustments. 42 【 C1】 43 【 C2】 44 【 C3】 45 【 C4】 46 【 C5】 47 【 C6】 48 【 C7】 49 【 C8】 50 【 C9】 51 【 C10】 SECTION A In this section there are several passages followed by ten multiple-choice questions. For each question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the o
33、ne that you think is the best answer. 51 (1)Hippies were members of a youth movement of the 1960s and 1970s that started in the United States and spread to Canada, Great Britain, and many other countries. The hippies rejected the customs, traditions, and life styles of society and tried to develop t
34、hose of their own. Most hippies came from white middle-class families and ranged in age from 15 to 25 years old. They thought too many adults cared about making money and little else. The term hippie may come from the word hip, which means “turned-in“ or aware. (2)Hippies wanted a world based on lov
35、e of humanity and peace. Many believed that wonderful, magi-cal changes were about to take place. They thought these changes would happen as soon as people learned to express their feelings honestly and to behave naturally at all times. Hippies strongly opposed U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. (
36、3)Many hippies lived together in small groups, working with one another and sharing possessions. Others refused to be tied down to a fixed job or home. They wandered from place to place seeking part-time work and temporary shelter. Some begged for spare change and lived in the streets or camped in p
37、arks or other public lands. (4)Hippies were sometimes called “flower children“ because they gave people flowers to communicate gentleness and love. They let their hair grow long and walked barefoot or in sandals. Hippies attracted public attention by wearing clothing that featured unusual combinatio
38、ns of colors and textures. A large number of hippies used marijuana, LSD, and other drugs. Drug experiences shaped many of their symbols and ideas. (5)The Beatles, a popular English rock group, helped spread the hippie movement with their song. Hippie favorites included such other rock groups as the
39、 Grateful Dead and the Jefferson Airplane, singers Joan Baez and Bob Dylan, poet Allen Ginsberg, and novelist Ken Kesey. Many hippies admired Timothy Leary, a psychologist who preached salvation through the use of drugs. (6)In time, most hippies realized it was not easy to reform society by “droppin
40、g out“ of it. Some joined more organized political movements to work for specific social causes. Others turned to spirituality or religion. The majority simply left the hippie stage of their lives behind while trying to hold on to at least a few of the ideals that once inspired them. 52 It can be in
41、ferred that hippies most want people to be aware of _. （ A） the necessity of being different and independent （ B） the necessity for radical changes （ C） the worthlessness of traditional values （ D） the harm brought by wars to the world 53 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the pa
42、ssage? （ A） Many hippies had to beg because no firms would hire them. （ B） Timothy Leary, a preacher, was the leader of the hippie movement. （ C） Drugs produced a very important influence on hippies ideas. （ D） The hippie movement was first known to the British people through the Beatles songs. 54 T
43、he authors attitude towards the hippie movement is one of_. （ A） criticism （ B） sympathy （ C） detestation （ D） enthusiasm 54 (1) Drought is a slow emergency. It does not swoop down out of the skies like a tornado or pull the earth apart like an earthquake. A drought of the kind the Eastern seaboard
44、in the United States is suffering now, the worst of this century in at least four states, is the product not of one summers failed rains but of chronic dryness over several seasons compounded by routine profligacy in our use of water. It is the result of what we have all been taught to call good wea
45、ther hot, it is true, but blue skies day after day, mild winters, and little snow. It is also the result of what we have come to call normal water use. (2)The drought of 1999 has become severe enough to bring about a flurry of administrative actions intended to mitigate its effects on farms, busines
46、ses and communities. On Friday, President Clinton ordered to organize timely drought relief. New Jerseys Governor, Christine Todd Whitman, and the Governors of Maryland, Delaware and West Virginia have all imposed mandatory restrictions on water use. Secretary of Agriculture Dan Glickman has declare
47、d West Virginia and 33 counties in 5 surrounding states a disaster area. Meanwhile, the Senate approved $7.4 billion in aid to farmers, to which a drought disaster relief package will need to be added. (3)This is all to the good, and it may also reconcentrate for a moment, our attention on this nati
48、ons patterns of water usage. Drought is nothing new, and dealing with it does not require radically new ideas. Many organizations have been set up in recent years in order to monitor drought conditions and respond to them as the long-term events they are. According to the National Drought Mitigation
49、 Center nearly every encounter with water scarcity leads to a set of recommendations essentially the ones invoked in a drought emergency meant to discourage consumption and encourage recycling. But once the rains begin again and controls are lifted, water use tends to rebound to previous levels. Drought dramatizes an e
