Once a mountain lion killed a thirteen-year-old boy, The town offered a reward of one thousand dollars for anyone who would kil
20、l the lion.One day an excited hunter came to the town to say that he had killed the mountain lion. As proof that he had killed the right animal, he showed a ball of human hair. He said he had taken the hair from the stomach of the mountain lion.However, another hunter soon showed up to claim (索要) ,t
21、he reward. He too had a ball of human hair that he said he had taken from the dead lions stomach. The town did not know which man to pay. Maybe neither one had killed, the right mountain lion. To settle the argument, they decided to turn the whole thing over to Dr. Hausman.Dr. Hausman studied the ha
22、ir and repotted that the second bunter should be paid. The hair in the stomach of the mountain lion he had killed matched the hair of the boy. Tbewhole town was relieved to know for sure that the killer had been found.There are other kinds of detectives who do not wear a uniform, like Hausman, but s
23、olve endless mysteries every year. There is, for example, the dust detective. Tiny bits of dust stick to your clothes, your fingernails, your hair, or your shoes. They catch in your nose and in your ears. They tell where you have been and what you have done lately. The dust detective often helps cat
24、ch a criminal by proving that he has been on the scene of the crime (罪案).Then there-is the wood detective. By studying a piece of wood he can tell what kind of tree the piece of wood came from. He can tell where it was grown, and how old it is. He can even tell you what the weather was like at a cer
25、tain place the year Columbus landed in America. The growth rings on a tree tell him.44 According to the selection, by studying a piece of wood, a WoOd detective can tell you_.（A）what the weather was like the year Columbus landed in America（B） what the weather was like last year in the mountain（C） wh

27、erlined word “they“ in the fifth paragraph mean?（A）Your clothes.（B） Your fingernail.（C） Tiny bits of dust.（D）Your shoes.47 It is implied in the selection that the tiny bits of dust are_.（A）to prove that a criminal has been on the scene of the crime（B） to prove that a criminal has not been on the sce
28、ne of the crime（C） to tell the detective what a criminal has done lately（D）to show the detective a criminals nose and his ears48 A good hearing memory will help your child do better in school. Your childs hearing ability is normal. Yet, he may seem to be very poor at remembering and understanding wh
29、at hes heard at school.Why should this be? Its because hes not using his heating ability to help him remember and understand what hes been taught.Some children get into the habit of learning and remembering things by what they hear. Theyve got good hearing memories. Other children find it easier to
30、learn and remember things by what they see. Theyve got good seeing memories. Some children have equally good ability at both seeing and hearing in learning things. Others, less fortunate, seem to have poor hearing and seeing-memories. Most children, Id say, unknowingly prefer one method over the oth
31、er for learning and remembering.But this favoring of one sense over the other is a bad habit and deprives (使不能) the child of the full use of his natural senses. Mrs. Alien was clearly incredulous when I told her there was nothing wrong with her sons heating. “But he never seems to really understand
32、what he hears, thats what his teachers tell me,“ she said.“My psychological examination of William shows hes weak in his hearing memory,“ I said, “but he has perfectly normal intelligence and can learn in school.“Our family doctor examined William and he says the boys hearing was all right. So, that
33、 proves youre right on that point,“ admitted Mrs. Alien. “So how can we help him? My husband and I will do anything you say, Dr. Dursteln.“You can do a lot to improve Williams hearing memory, but itll take time. You must be patient and not expect results immediately.“ I cautioned.I suggested a detai
34、led program for the parents to use at home. I told Mrs. Alien to come back and see me every two weeks so that I could guide her in any problem she had in using my program.48 Those who have poor hearing memories_.（A）cannot hear sounds clearly（B） are poor at remembering and understanding what they hav
35、e learned（C） are poor at learning things by what they have heard（D）have the habit of learning things by what they have heard of49 The author suggested that Mrs. Alien try some ways_.（A）to train her sons hearing memory（B） to make use of her sons natural senses（C） to make good use of what her son hear
36、d（D）to understand the trouble in which her son was involved50 In the fourth paragraph, the underlined word “incredulous“ means_.（A）unbelieving（B） believable（C） believing（D）incredibly51 Which of the following is true?（A）Good hearing memory will not help your child do better in school.（B） Some childre
37、n get into the habit of learning and remembering things by what they hear.（C） The favoring of one sense over the other is not a bad habit.（D）The author didnt suggest a detailed program for the parents to use at home.52 The word conservation has a thrifty (节俭的) meaning. To conserve is to save and pro
38、tect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such good condition that others may also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers (祖先) had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw (天然的) materials; most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea that the treasur
39、es were “limitless and inexhaustible“. Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated (复杂的), and delicate system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in a living body, an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to al
40、l the others.Fifty years ago nature study was not part of the school work; scientific forestry was a new idea; timber was still cheap because it could be brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods were not national problems; nobody had yet studied long-term cli
41、matic cycles in relation to proper land use; even the word “conservation“ had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today.For the sake of ourselves and those who will come after us, we must now set about repairing the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservation should, therefore, be made a part of
42、 everyones daily life. To know about the water table in the ground is just as important to us as a knowledge of the basic arithmetic formulas. We need to know why all watersheds need the protection of plant life and why the running current of streams and rivers must be made to benefit the soil fully
43、 before they finally escape to the sea. We need to be taught the duty of planting trees as well as of cutting them. We need to know the importance of big, mature trees, because living space for most of mans fellow creatures on this planet is figured not only in square measure of surface but also in
44、cubic volume(立方)above the earth. In brief, it should be our goal to restore as much of the original (原始的) beauty of nature as we can.52 The authors attitude towards the present situation in the use of natural resources is_.（A）positive (支持的)（B） neutral (中立的)（C） suspicious (怀疑的)（D）critical (批评的)53 Acc
45、ording to the author, the greatest mistake of our forefathers was that_.（A）they had no idea about scientific forestry（B） they had little or no sense of environmental protection（C） they did not know the importance of nature study（D）they had no idea of how to make good use of raw materials54 With a vi
46、ew to correct the mistakes of our forefathers, the author suggests that_.（A）we plant more trees（B） we be taught environmental science, as well as the science of plants（C） environmental education be directed toward everyone（D）we return to nature55 What does the author imply by saying “living space, i
47、s figured, also in cubic volume above the earth“ in the third paragraph?（A）Our living space on the earth is getting smaller and smaller.（B） Our living space should be measured in cubic volume.（C） We need to take some measures to protect space in volume.（D）We must create better living conditions for
48、both birds and animals.56 Cultural differences in business entertaining include problems such as whom one entertains and where, and how one entertains. In countries where status (地位)is important, it is not advisable to invite people of different statuses to the same dinner party. Americans will ofte
49、n invite people to their homes. However, in some societies the home is considered too private, unworthy, or too small to serve as a proper place for business entertaining. In some countries there is a “help yourself“ method of entertaining done in the home. This method does not work well whenentertaining people whose culture teaches them to wait to be asked three times before accepting an offer of food. In one instance, a
