9、ack on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental ar
10、ithmetic.Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystalclear memory of the dog
11、s, the farm animals, the local birds, and above all, the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world and my enthusiasm had led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other pe
12、oples observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle, because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers, and books, which some might honour with t
13、he title of scientific research.But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist: one the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist requires not only self-discipline but hard training, de

18、k night or by a snake in the grass? Do you remember the sudden, tight feeling in your chest, the way your heart started go pound, the way you seemed to breathe more rapidly? Such reactions occurred because you were frightened. Your brain sent a signal to the special gland (腺) in your body caned the
19、adrenal (肾上的) gland. Other parts of your body were involved, too, but the adrenal gland has a very special function.The adrenal gland is located on top of your kidney. Since you have two kidneys. You also have two adrenal glands. Each adrenal gland is divided into two parts: a cortex (外皮)and a medul
20、la (髓质). The cortex forms the outer shell; the medulla forms the central core. Both the cortex and the medulla secrete (分泌) hormones, but they have different functions.The cortex produces more than forty different chemical compounds and hormones. All these things are essential to sustain life. The m
21、edulla secretes adrenalin (also called epinephrine, the hormone that prepares the body for emergencies.)When you are suddenly faced with a dangerous or stressful situation, part of your brain instantly sends a signal to the adrenal gland, and all sorts of things begin to your body. The medulla relea
22、ses an extra amount of adrenalin into the bloodstream.

26、rovements in automotive technology in the early 20th century. His outstanding mechanical ability led him to become interested in the new automobiles in the early 1900s. Though be did not invent the automobile, he improved upon everyone elses designs. He was a person who believed in inexpensive, effi
27、cient production, so he established standards for his plants and workers. He also standardized and produced many new auto parts for his Ford Motor Company cars. Then he studied the workers problems and thousands of automobiles per year. In fact, his plants had produced 15 million Model TS by 1927. F
28、ords personality was not all thrift (节俭), efficiency and inventiveness, however. He was a man who was cold and who could not keep pace with the competition due to his own rigidity (严格). His company suffered because of his desire to maintain the existing state instead of meeting and beating the compe
29、tition by changing his products. Finally, he saw that he must change or fail, therefore, he introduced a newtype engine and once again took over the automobile market. Ford left a legacy of millions of dollars, millions of jobs for American workers, and millions of satisfied customers. 29 Henry Ford

34、is sixth sense and he at once stopped in from of the shop window he was passing and looked casually back along 46th Street. Nothing but a lot of miscellaneous people moving slowly on the sidewalks, mostly on the same side as himself, the side that was sheltered from the sun. There was no sudden move
35、ment into a doorway, nobody casually wiping his face with a handkerchief to avoid recognition, nobody bending down to tie a shoelace.Bond examined the Swiss watches in his shop window and then turned and sauntered on. After a few yards he stopped again. Still nothing. He went on and turned right int
36、o the Avenue of the Americans, stopping in the first doorway, the entrance to a womens underwear store where a man in a tan suit with his back to him was examining the black lace pants on a particularly realistic dummy (模型). Bond turned and leant against a pillar and gazed lazily but watchfully out
37、into the street.And then something gripped his pistol arm and a voice snarled: “All right, Limey. Take it easy unless you want lead for lunch“, and he felt something press into his back just above the kidney.What was there familiar about that voice? The law? The gun? Bond glanced down to see what wa
38、s holding his right arm. It was a steel hook. Well, if the man had only one arm! Like lightening he turned around, bending sideways and bringing his left fist round in a flailing blow, low down.There was a smack as his fist was caught in the other mans left hand, and at the same time as the contact
39、telegraphed to Bonds mind that there could have been no gun, there came the well-remembered laugh and the lazy voice saying: “No good, James. The angles have got you.“Bond straightened himself slowly and for a moment he could only gaze into the grinning hawk-life face of Felix Leiterwith blank disbe
40、lief, his built-up tension slowly relaxing.“So you were doing a front tail, you lousy bastard,“ he finally said. 33 Bond realized that he was being followed by means of _.（A）his common sense（B） his sense of humour（C） his sight（D）his sixth sense 34 When Bond stopped and looked back along 46th street,

A working laboratory model of a new system of radar that makes use of a beam of light is said to be ten thousand times more accurate than the best comparable system of rada
44、r that used microwaves.The model has shown that this radar system, known as laser-doppler radar, can measure with absolute precision speeds varying from spaceship orbital injection (进入) velocities (速度 ) of five miles per second down to virtual stopsspeeds of less than one ten thousandth of an inch p
45、er second. According to the scientists who are developing this system, such fine measures of velocity are of prime importance in space missions. In a rendezvous (对接) between two spaceships, or in a landing approach by a vehicle onto an orbiting space station, a bump could rip open a ships skin, or a
46、 nudge could knock the station out of its orbit.The light-beam radar, which operates at a frequency of trillions (百万兆) of cycles per second, could easily detect and measure the movement of a vehicle edging up to a satellite space station. A control system using so precise a signal as this would allo
47、w a huge vehicle to dock at a space station as lightly as a feather.37 Laser-doppler radar _.（A）measures the movements of a spaceship by means of light beam（B） makes use of microwaves（C） makes use of sound waves（D）Both A and B 38 Laser-doppler radar is especially valuable in space missions because _
48、.（A）it is one thousand times more precise than microwave radar（B） it provides precise measures of the velocity of space vehicles（C） it is a new system of radar（D）it can measure the movement of a spaceship less accurately than a microwave radar 39 Which of the following statements is not true accordi
49、ng to the passage _.（A）accuracy in speed measurement is essential to spaceships（B） the speeds of space vehicles will vary（C） inaccuracies in measurement could cause accidents in space missions（D）a bump could affect the preciseness of the laser-doppler radar 40 Implied but not stated is that _.（A）laser-doppler radar is more accurate than microwave radar（B） microwave radar may not ensure abso
