9、responding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 Can animals be made to work for us? Some scientists think that one day animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs that are now done by human beings.They point out that at a circus, for example, we may see elephants, monkeys, dogs and other animals d
10、oing quite skillful things. Perhaps you have seen them on the television or in a film. If you watch closely, you may notice that the trainer always gives the animal a piece of candy or a piece of fruit as a reward. The scientists say that many different animals may be trained to do a number of simpl
11、e jobs if they know they will get a reward for doing them.Of course, as we. know, dogs can be used to guard a house, and soldiers in both old and modem times have used geese to give warning by making a lot of noise when a stranger or an enemy comes near. But it may be possible to train animals to wo
12、rk in factories. In Russia, for example, pigeons which are birds with good eyesight, are being used to watch out for faults in small steel balls that are being made in one factory. When the pigeon sees a ball which looks different from others, it touches a steel plate with its beak. This turns on a
13、light to warn people in the factory. At the same time a few seeds are given as a reward. It takes three to five weeks to train a pigeon to do this and one pigeon can inspect 3 000 to 4 000 balls an hour.Apes have been used in America in helping to make cars, and scientists believe that these large m

17、y.24 Hair loss is one of those things we still do not understand. Science has, of course, shown that men are more likely than women to suffer major hair loss. Some kinds of hair loss are temporary(暂时的), an effect of illness. In those cases we can expect the hair to grow back.It all depends on whethe
18、r the hair root is alive. If it is not, hair loss is permanent and nothing will help.Some daily loss of hair is a normal, healthy sign. Most people lose between 40 to 50 scalp hairs each day.Each of these scalp hairs grows for from two to six years and then rests. About three months later it is push
19、ed out by a new hair growing from the same root.This is not something that should cause great concern.Something else we know is that normal hair loss is seasonal, with the most hair loss occurring in the fall. Everyone experiences a normal cycle of loss and growth.The problem of hair loss results wh
20、en loss is greater than growth.The main cause of hair loss in men seems to be accumulation(积累)of a hormone(荷尔蒙)in the body.

Hes an elder man with white hair and a white
29、beard. He often wears a tall hat, a bow tie, and the stars and stripes of the American flag.Who is this strange-looking man? Would you believe that Uncle Sam is the US government? But why do you call the US government Uncle Sam?During the War of 1812, the US government hired meat packers to provide
30、meat to the army. One of these meat packers was a man named Samuel Wilson. Samuel was a friendly and fair man. Everyone liked him and called him Uncle Sam.Sam Wilson stamped the boxes of meat for the army with a large US for United States. Some government inspectors came to look over Sams company. T
31、hey asked a worker what the US on the boxes stood for. As a joke, the worker answered that these letters stood for the name of his boss, Uncle Sam.The joke spread, and soldiers began saying that their food came from Uncle Sam. Before long, people called all things that came from the government “Uncl
32、e Sams“ , “Uncle Sam“ became a nickname for the US government.Soon there were drawings and cartoons of Uncle Sam in newspapers. In these early pictures, Uncle Sam was a young man.

A few are very effective communicators, conveying the substance of their lectures clearly and in
36、terestingly and inspiring students to want to know more about the subject. Others produce dull lectures from which the students learn little and which are likely to kill any interest they may have in the subject. Lecturing is a major part of a university lecturers job and it would seem reasonable th
37、at effectiveness in this task should be a major standard in assessing a lecturer for promotion. However, it is very often the case that far more weight is given to such factors as participation in research, number of publications and even performance of administrative duties. My point of view is tha
38、t a lecturers lecturing should be regularly evaluated and that the best people to carry out this evaluation are those directly on the receiving end.It could, of course, be argued that students are not competent to evaluate the academic quality of lectures. If anyone should evaluate lecturers, it sho
39、uld be their colleagues. However, I am not arguing that students should be asked to comment on the academic content of lectures, but to evaluate the effectiveness.I suspect that many of the objections to student evaluation stem from the fear some lecturers have of being subject to criticism by their
40、 students. However, lecturers should see such e-valuation as an opportunity to become aware of defects in their lecturing techniques and thus to become better lecturers. Such a system should benefit both students and lecturers as well as help department heads to assess the strengths and weaknesses o
41、f their teaching staff.37 According to the author, all the students know that_.（A）it is too dull to attend lectures（B） quite a lot of teachers can produce the results students desire（C） they must be inspired to learn（D）there are great differences among the lecturers as to their quality of teaching38
42、 In the authors opinion, teachers can only be promoted depending on_.（A）how well they give their lectures（B） how well they get along with the students（C） how many papers and books they have published（D）how well they conduct their academic researches39 Which of the following statements is true accord
43、ing to the passage?（A）Students likes and interests are the standards of evaluation of a teachers lecturing.（B） Students are actually capable of judging the class accomplishments of lectures.（C） Students are academically capable of making comments on the skills of teaching.（D）Students are not to give
44、 assessments of a teachers lecturing.40 The author believes that_.（A）many teachers are opposed to the idea of being evaluated by the students（B） students are opposed to the idea of evaluating the teachers on their own（C） students fear that they are likely to be criticized by their teachers if they a
45、re to give their assessments（D）many teachers fear that they are likely to criticize the students who have given their assessments四、Part IV ClozeDirections: There are some blanks in the following passages. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the one that best
46、 fits into the passages. Then, mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.40 What is intelligence(智力)anyway?
