26、B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. 30 Andrea had never seen an old lady hitchhiking before. However, the weather and the coming darkness made her feel sorry for the lady. The old lady had some difficulty in climbing through
27、 the car door, and pushed her big brown canvas shopping bag down onto the floor under her feet. She said to Andrea, in a voice that was almost a whisper, “Thank you dear - Im just going to Brock Bourne“ Something in the way the lady spoke, and the way she never turned her head, made Andrea uneasy ab
28、out this strange hitchhiker. She didnt know why, but she felt instinctively that there was something wrong, something old, and something dangerous. But how could an old lady be dangerous? It was absurd. Careful not to turn her head, Andrea look sideways at her passenger. She studied the hat, the dir
29、ty collar of the dress, the shapeless body, and the arms with their thick black hairs. Thick black hairs? Hairy arms? Andreas blood froze. This wasnt a woman. It was a man. At first, she didnt know what to do. Then suddenly, an idea came into her racing, terrified brain. Swinging the wheel suddenly,
30、 she threw the car into a skid, and brought it to a halt. “My god!“ she shouted. “A child! Did you see the child? I think I hit her. “ The “old lady“ was clearly shaken by the sudden skid. “I didnt see anything dear,“ she said. “I dont think you hit anything. “ “I am sure it was a child!“ insisted A
31、ndrea. “Could you just get out and have a look? Just see if there is anything on the road? “ she held her breath. Would her plan work? It did. The passenger slowly climbed out to investigate. As soon as in front of her vehicle, Andrea gunned the engine and accelerated madly away, and soon she had pu
32、t a good three miles between herself and the awful hitchhiker. It was only then that she thought about the bag lying on the floor in front of her. Maybe the bag would provide some information about the real identity about the man. Pulling into the side of the road, Andrea opened the heavy bag curiou
33、sly. It contained only one item a small hand axe, with a razor-sharp blade. The axe, and the inside of the bag, were covered with the dark red stains of dried blood.

37、ces, as the name shows, are the scientific study of the behavior of human beings, both in groups and individually. There is no past or present information of human beings who were not in groups. The groups may be small, like the family, or large, like a city or nation. But in order to reach complete
38、 development, man must be a member of a society. It is true that some individuals are more solitary than others. Some, like monks or hermits, may decide, for religious or other reasons, to leave their society and live alone. But these are unusual individuals, and even they can not separate themselve
39、s completely from the rest of mankind. A society, then, seems to be the natural environment of mankind. Scholars who study mankind in social organizations are called social scientists. The human behavior which social scientists study is learned behavior. The behavior of the human body as a living or
40、ganism is studied by the biologist, the biochemist, or the physician. This behavior of mans physical body is inherited through the genetic development of his species. For example, all physical normal and healthy humans learn to walk as their bodies grow and develop. Social scientists concern themsel
41、ves with the behavior that man must learn so that he can take his place in a social group. In order to be a functioning member of a group, each member must learn to behave in a way acceptable to other members of that group. The kind of behavior, which must be learned, differs according to the differ
42、ences among societies. The social scientists are newcomers to academic studies. By the end of the nineteenth century, the natural sciences had developed a method, by which they were able to understand the physical world. By using the scientific method, chemists, physicists, and astronomers, for exam
43、ple, learned a great deal about the universe. It seemed reasonable to apply the same method to the study of mans social life. Through this kind of study man may learn to understand himself much better. The scientific method is a way of collecting facts in order to describe an existing situation as c
44、orrectly and completely as possible. The description must consist only of what can be perceived, analyzed, measured, and recorded. Feelings and personal opinions or ideas have no place in scientific description. The facts must be observed and described in such a way that another scientist could repe
45、at the same study and get the same results. 36 According to the passage, what is true about all human being? （ A） They are more solitary than others. （ B） They all belong to clubs. （ C） They are all members of groups. （ D） They separate themselves from the rest of world. 37 What does a social scient
46、ist study? （ A） The family. （ B） Human beings as members of groups. （ C） Nation. （ D） Molecules and ions. 38 How does social behavior differ from physical behavior? （ A） It is learned. （ B） It is inherited from our ancestors. （ C） It depends on genetic development. （ D） It is the same for all human
47、beings. 39 Which of the following have no place in the scientific method? （ A） Careful observations. （ B） Accurate measurements. （ C） Sincere emotions. （ D） A reasonable hypothesis. 40 How many groups of people using the scientific method are mentioned in the passage? （ A） Three. （ B） Two. （ C） One.
48、 （ D） Four. 40 Some people would say that the Englishmans home is no longer his castle, and that it has become his workshop. This is partly because the average Englishman is keen on working with his own hands and partly because he feels, for one reason or another, that he must do for himself many ho
49、useholds for which, some years ago, he would have hired professional help. The main reason for this is a financial one. The high cost of labor has meant that builders and decorators cost have reached a level which makes them prohibitive for house-proud English people of modest means. So, if they wish to keep their houses looking bright and smart, they have to tackle some of the repairs and decorating t
