8、there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 The humorous story may be told to great length, and may wander
9、 around as much as it pleases, and arrive nowhere in particular; but the comic (滑稽的) story and the witty (诙谐的) story must be brief and end with a point. The humorous story continues gently along, the other two burst.The humorous story is strictly a work of art-high and delicate (精美的) art-and only an
10、 artist can tell it; But no art is necessary in telling the comic and witty stories; anybody can do it. The art of telling a humorous story-I mean by word of mouth, not print-was created in America, and has remained at home.The humorous story is told seriously; the teller does his best to hide the f
11、act that he him- self even suspects that there is anything funny about it; but the teller of the comic story tells you beforehand that it is one of the funniest things he has ever heard, then tells it with eager delight, and is the first person to laugh.When he gets through, and sometimes, if he has
12、 had good success, he is so glad and happy that he will repeat the point of it and glance around from face to face, collecting applause (喝彩), and then repeat it again.21 Which story takes the longest to tell?（A）The humorous story.（B） The witty story.（C） The comic story.（D）Alt three take the same amo

It is an extra
15、 large bat that has got a foxs head, and that feeds on fruit instead of insects. Like all bats, flying foxes hang themselves by their toes when it rest, and travel in great crowds when out flying. A group will live in one spot for years. Some- times several hundreds of them occupy(占据) a single tree.
16、 As they return to the tree toward sunrise, they quarrel among themselves and fight for the best places until long after daylight.Flying foxes have babies once a year, giving birth to only one at a time. At first the mother has to carry the baby On her breast wherever she goes. Later she leaves it h
17、anging up, and brings back food for it to eat. Sometimes a baby falls down to the ground and squeaks(尖叫) for help. Then the older ones swoop (俯冲) down and try to pick it Up. If they fail to do so, it will die. Often hundreds of dead baby bats can be found lying on the ground at the foot of a tree. 2
18、5 The passage tells us that there is no difference between the flying fox and the ordinary bat in_.（A）their size（B） their appearance（C） the way they rest（D）the kind of food they eat 26 Flying foxes tend to_.（A）double their number every year（B） lose a lot of their babies（C） move from place to place c

20、 to protect their homes from outsiders（D）when there is not enough food 28 A man and his wife had a small bar near a station. The bar often stayed open until after midnight, because people came to drink there while they were waiting for trains.At two oclock one morning, one man was still sitting at a
21、 table in the small bar. He was asleep. The barmans wife wanted to go to bed. She looked into the bar several times, and each time the man was still there. Then at last she went to her husband and said to him, “Youve waken that man six times now, George, but he isnt drinking anything. Why havent you
22、 sent him away? It is very late.“Oh, no, I dont want to send him away, “answered her husband with a smile: “You see, whenever I wake him up, he asks for his bill, and when I bring it to him. He pays it. Then he goes to sleep again.“ 29 The bar often stayed open _.（A）until after 12 oclock in the even

25、or some time past it has been widely accepted that babies and other creatures learn to de things because certain acts lead to “rewards“; and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective rewards, at least in the early stages, had to be directly
26、related to such basic physiological “drives“ as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink or some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise.It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward excep
27、t the successful outcome.Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to “reward“ the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would
28、still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the childrens responses in situations where no milk was provided. He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement “switched on“ a display
29、 of lights-and indeed that they were capable of learning quite complex turns to bring about this result. For instance, two left or two right, or even to make as many as three turns to one side.Papouseks light display was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting observation
30、that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the lights closely although they would “smile and bubble“ when the display came on. Papousek concluded that it was not primarily the sight of the lights which pleased them, it was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in mastering th
31、e skill, and that there exists a fundamental human urge to make sense of the world and bring it under intentional control. 33 According to the author, babies learn to do things which _.（A）are directly related to pleasure（B） will meet their physical needs（C） will bring them a feeling of success（D）wil
32、l satisfy their curiosity 34 Papusek noticed in his studies that baby _.（A）would make learned responses when. it saw the milk（B） would carry out learned movements when it had enough to drink（C） would continue the simple movements without being given milk（D）would turn its head to right or left when i
33、t had enough to drink 35 In Papuseks experiment babies make learned movements of the head in order to _.（A）have the lights turned on（B） be rewarded with milk（C） please their parents（D）be praised 36 The babies would “smile and bubble“ at the lights because _.（A）the lights were directly related to som
34、e basic “drives“（B） the sight of the lights was interesting（C） they need not turn back to watch the lights（D）they succeeded in “switching on“ the lights 36 The idea of a fish being able to generate electricity strong enough to light lamp bulbs-or even to run a small electric motor-is almost unbeliev
35、able, but several kinds of fish are able to do this. Even more strangely, this curious power has been acquired in different ways by fish be- longing to very different families.Perhaps the best known are the electric rays, or torpedoes (电鱼), of which several kinds live in warm seas. They posses on ea
36、ch side of the head, behind the eyes, a large organ consisting of a number of hexagonal shaped cells rather like a honeycomb. The cells are filled with a jelly-like substance, and contain a series of flat electric plates. One side, the negative side, of each plate, is supplied with very fine nerves,
37、 connected with a main nerve coming from a special part of the brain. Current passes from the upper, positive side of the organ downwards to the negative, lower side. Generally it is necessary to touch the fish in two places, completing the circuit, in order to receive a shock.The strength of this s
38、hock depends on the size of the fish, but newly born ones only about 5 centimeters across can be made to light the bulb of a pocket flashlight for a few moments, while a fully grown torpedo gives a shock capable of knocking a man down, and, if suitable wires arc connected, will operate a small elect
39、ric motor for several minutes.Another famous example is the electric eel. This fish gives an even more powerful shock. The system is different from that of the torpedo in that the electric plates run longitudinally(纵向) and are supplied with nerves from the spinal(脊骨) cord. Consequently, the current
40、passes along the fish from head to tail. The electric or gans of these fish are really altered muscles and like all muscles are apt(likely) to tire, so they are not able to produce electricity for very long.The power of producing electricity may serve these fish both for defence and attack.37 It can
41、 be seen from the passage that _.（A）the capacity to generate electricity is the distinctive characteristic of the fish（B） the current travels in an upward direction from the positive side to negative side in torpedos electric cells（C） some fish can produce enough electricity to drive a number of ele
42、ctric motors（D）the torpedo s electric cells have a shape with six sides 38 Usually you will not get a shock by touching the electric ray in one place only because _.（A）the current in one place is not strong enough to give a shock（B） the fishs electric cells are filled with jelly-like substance（C） to
43、 complete the circuit, you have to touch the fish in two places（D）a torpedos electric cells contain more than one electric plates 39 The main idea of the third paragraph is that _.（A）a mature torpedo is capable of producing enough electricity to knock down a man（B） the mass of the fish decides the i
44、ntensity of electric power it generates（C） the strength of shock given by a young electric ray can only light the bulb of a pocket flashlight（D）to make full use of the energy produced by electric fish, suitable wires should be available 40 The reason why the electric eel is able to give more powerfu
45、l shock is that _.（A）the working system of the electric plates in the eel is the most effective（B） the working system of the electric plates in the eel is far inferior to those in the torpedo（C） compared with those in the torpedo, the working system of, electric plates in the eel is more direct and
46、efficient（D）compared with other electric fish, the eel possesses much more electric plates 四、Part IV ClozeDirections: There are some blanks in the following passages.
