They cannot reason in the
12、 sense that man can, but nature has taken care of the animal kingdom by providing animals with special instincts. One of these instincts is known as hibernation(冬眠 ). “Sleeping like a dormouse(睡鼠 )“ is not only a common saying but a reality. When winter comes, the dormouse and other hibernating anim
13、als have reached a well-nourished state. They eat very well in warmer days laying down fat in the tissues of their bodies and during hibernation this keeps them alive. Safe in their nests, or burrows, they sleep soundly until the warmth of spring arrives. Bats, tortoises, snakes, frogs, even insects
14、 like butterflies, hibernate more or less completely. Some, like the squirrels, sleep during coldest weather but are roused by a warm spell. During hibernation, the temperature of an animals body drops drastically. Breathing and heartbeats almost cease. Another instinctive methods of avoiding intens
15、e cold is to escape by means of migration. Wild swans, seagulls, swallows and cuckoos are a few of the very many kinds of birds which fly thousands of miles, twice a year, to avoid cold. Many animals, especially those of the Arctic regions, have summer and winter quarters. The Arctic deer of North A
16、merica, as well as the reindeer of Europe, move southward towards the forests when winter approaches. They return to the northern area when the warmth of spring begins to be sensed. There are animals which do not attempt to leave at the first sign of winter cold. Their instinctive means of defense i
17、s to dig out a deep burrow, made soft and warm by padding out with straw, leaves, moss and fur. In it they have a “secret place“ containing food which they hope will last the winter through! Animals which fall into this class include the Arctic fox, the rabbit and the ermine(貂 )and the little field-

Some scientists imagine that this could even mean the beginning of another ice age. The effects of such a change in climate on the human population of the
22、world would be startling. Recent research suggests that the general warming trend of the past hundred years or so may be coming to an end. During the past ten years, meteorologists tell us the average temperature of the earth has dropped about one degree Fahrenheit. This does not seem like much, but
23、 it could have effects on wind and rain patterns which influence the overall weather picture. If these patterns change a lot, it could mean that certain regions of the world may continue to have long droughts while others will possibly suffer from widespread flooding. What regulates the climate is n
24、ot exactly known. Meteorologists believe that clouds may be an important factor in regulating the amount of solar heat held by the earth, which in turn determines the temperature of the planet. Another possibility is that man s industrial and agricultural methods may be affecting the natural weather
25、 patterns. However, the weather is not understood well enough for scientists to say for certain what is happening to the climate and what side effects this will actually have on the Worlds population. 11 According to the text, the climate of the world seems to_. （ A） be getting colder （ B） be gettin
26、g warmer （ C） remain the same in the past ten years （ D） have good effects on the worlds population 12 According to what you have read, which of the following is TRUE? （ A） Mans activities have no effect on the climate. （ B） Another ice age will come soon. （ C） People dont care about the changing cl

28、ng 14 Which of the following may be factors that affect the natural weather patterns? （ A） Clouds. （ B） The amount of heat the earth receives. （ C） Mans industrial and agricultural methods. （ D） All of the above. 15 The best title for the text would be_. （ A） Droughts and Floods （ B） Meteorologists
29、（ C） Changing Climate （ D） Solar Heat 15 Many artists late in the last century were in search of a means to express their individuality. Modern dance was one of the ways some of these people sought to free their creative spirit. At the beginning there was no exacting technique, no foundation from wh
30、ich to build. In later years trial, error, and genius founded the techniques and the principles of the movement. Eventually, innovators even drew from what they considered the dread ballet, but first they had to discard all that was academic so that the new could be discovered. The beginnings of mod
31、ern dance were happening before Isadora Duncan, but she was the first person to bring the new dance to general audiences and see it accepted and acclaimed. Her search for a natural movement form sent her to nature. She believed movement should be as natural as the swaying of the trees and the rollin
32、g waves of the sea, and should be in harmony with the movements of the Earth. Her great contributions are in three areas. First, she began the expansion of the kinds of movements that could be used in dance. Before Duncan danced, ballet was the only type of dance performed in concert. In the ballet
33、the feet and the legs were emphasized, with virtuosity(精湛技艺 )shown by complicated positions and movements. Duncan performed dance by using all her body in the freest possible way. Her dance stemmed from her soul and spirit. She was one of the pioneers who broke tradition so others might be able to d
34、evelop the art. Her second contribution lies in dance costume. She discarded corset, ballet shoes, and stiff costumes. These were replaced with flowing Grecian tunics, bare feet, and unbound hair. She believed in the natural body being allowed to move freely, and her dress displayed this idea. Her t
35、hird contribution was in the use of music. In her performances she used the symphonies of great masters, including Beethoven and Wagner, which was not the usual custom. She was as exciting and eccentric(异乎寻常的 )in her personal life as in her dance. 16 Which of the following would be the best title fo
36、r the passage? （ A） The Evolution of Dance in the Twentieth Century （ B） Artists of Last Century （ C） Natural Movement in Dance （ D） A Pioneer in Modern Dance 17 According to the passage, what did nature represent to Isadora Duncan? （ A） Something to conquer. （ B） A model for movement. （ C） A place
37、to find peace. （ D） A symbol of disorder. 18 Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as an area of dance that Isadora Duncan worked to change? （ A） The music. （ B） The stage sets. （ C） Costumes. （ D） Movements. 19 Compared to those of the ballet, Isadora Duncans costumes were less_. （
38、 A） costly （ B） colorful （ C） graceful （ D） restrictive 20 What does the paragraph following the passage most probably discuss? （ A） Isadora Duncans further contribution to modern dances. （ B） The music customarily used in ballet. （ C） Other aspects of Isadora Duncans life. （ D） Audience acceptance
39、of the new form of dance. 二、 Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%) Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.
