8、n. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 Are you superstitious? No, of course not. Do you believe in magic (魔法), and luck charms (护身符 ), and elves or gremlins (小精灵) ? Certainly not, but if I should greet you with the usual Hows business?“ Youll answer “
9、Oh, just so-so“ although your business is profiting greatly. When you are successful in some venture you might say you were just lucky. And yet, you know it was probably due to your a bility and hard work. Why? Sometimes you knock on wood because wood was once a tree and there is a primitive belief
10、that protective gods inhabit trees and knocking on wood attracts their attention so they may be credited with your successes.If I should sneeze, only the strongest of you could refrain(克制而不) from saying “God bless you“. Why bless this unsanitary (不讲究卫生的) habit? Our ancestors believed that a sneeze o
11、pened the body to invasion by devils, and invoking (召唤) the name of God made the devils get out in a hurry. You may not realize it, but you express this same “devil invasion“ when you say, “Whatever can have gotten into that child?“ or “I wonder what possessed me to do that?“Although they may no lon

16、nobody can imagine that the writer of the story, Agatha Christie, saved a baby in a most unusual way.In June 1977, a baby girl became seriously ill in Deleville. Doctors there were unable to find out the cause of her illness, so she was sent to a famous hospital in London, where there were many exce
17、llent doctors. The baby was so seriously iii that a team of doctors hurried to examine her without any delay. The doctors, too, were puzzled by the babys illness, and they also became discouraged. Just then a nurse asked to speak to them.“I think the baby is suffering from thallium (铊) poisoning,“ s
18、aid the nurse “A few days ago, I read a story A Pale Horse written by Agatha Christie. Someone uses thallium poison, and all the symptoms (症状) are written in the book. They are exactly the same as the babys.“Youre very good at observing things, “said a doctor, “and you may be right. Well carry out s
19、ome tests and find out whether the cause is thallium poisoning or not.“The tests proved that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium. Once they knew that cause, the doctors were able to give her correct treatment. The baby soon got well and was sent back to Deleville. A week later it was repor
20、ted that the poison might have come from an insecticide (杀虫剂) used in Deleville.26 The baby was sent to a hospital in London because _.（A）her parents were living in London then（B） the hospitals in Deleville were full at that time（C） she was the daughter of a famous doctor in London（D）doctors in Dele
21、ville were not sure about the cause of her illness 27 When the baby was first sent to the hospital in London, her illness was considered to be _.（A）quite easy to treat（B） the result of thallium poisoning（C） a common one（D）extraordinarily serious 28 The one who first suggested the correct cause of th
22、e babys illness was _.（A）a doctor in Deleville（B） a famous doctor（C） Agatha Christie（D）an ordinary nurse 29 From this passage it seems that the babys illness had something to do with _.（A）a dead writer（B） the water in Deleville（C） a dangerous murderer（D）a harmful substance (物质) used to kill pests 30
23、 As far as we can tell from the story, Agatha Christie _.（A）had never met this baby（B） had spent a long time studying the baby s illness（C） visited the baby both in Deleville and London（D）gave the nurse some advice on, the telephone 30 Edmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years
24、ago. He studied the observations of comets (彗星) ,which other scientists had made. The orbit (轨道) of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.However, Halley had a friend named Newton, who w
25、as a brilliant mathematician. Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse (椭圆形) .Now Halley set to work. He figured out the orbits of some of the comets that had
26、been observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that appeared in the years 1531,1607, and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart.This seemed very strange to Halley. Three different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thoug
27、ht about it, the more he thought that there had not been three different comets, as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back again.It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction of what wou
28、ld happen in the future. He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halleys prediction could be tested.In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before. Ever since then that comet had been called Halleys c
29、omet, in his honour.31 Edmund Halley figured out the orbit of _.（A）some different comets appearing several times（B） the same comet appearing at different time（C） three different comets appearing three times（D）several comets appearing at the same time 32 Halley made his discovery _.（A）by doing experi

31、 and Halley（D）Halley and his discovery 35 According to the passage, which one is NOT true?（A）Newton figured out the orbit of the comet.（B） Halley figured out the orbit of the comet first.（C） Newton gave Halley some help.（D）Halley died before 1758. 35 It was Monday, Mrs. Smiths dog was hungry, but th
32、ere was not any meat in the house.Considering that there was no better way, Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it, “Give my dog half a pound of meat.“ Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently, “Take this to the butcher (卖肉者) , and hes going to give you your
33、lunch today.“Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butchers shop. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the ladys handwriting and presently did as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up immediately.A
34、t midday (正午), the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.The next day, the dog came again exactly at midday. And as usual it brought a piece of paper in. the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a loo
35、k at the paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers.But, the dog came again at four oclock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butchers more surprise, it came for the third time at six oclock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butc
36、her felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself, “This is a small dog. Why does Mrs. Smith give it so much meat to eat today?“Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it!36 Mrs. Smith treated her little dog quite _.（A）cruelly（B） kindly（C） badly（D）unfairly 37 It seemed that
37、 the dog knew well that the paper its master gave it _.（A）might do it much harm（B） could do it much good（C） would give the butcher some meat（D）was worth many pounds 38 The butcher did not give any meat to the dog _.（A）when he found the words on the paper were not very clear（B） because he happened to

39、to it whenever he saw it（C） a piece of paper could bring it half a pound of meat（D）Mrs. Smith would pay for the meat it got from the butcher 40 At the end of the story, youll find that _.（A）the butcher found himself cheated by the smart animal（B） the dog was clever enough to write on the paper（C） th
40、e dog dared not go to tile butchers any more（D）the butcher was told not to give any meat to the dog 40 Which of your two hands do you use more? Very few of us can use both hands equally well. Most of us are right-handed. Only about five people out of a hundred are left-handed. New-born babies can ta
41、ke hold of things with either of their hands, but. in about two years they usually use their right hands. Scientists have found that monkeys like to use one of their hands more than the other, but it can be either hand. There are as many right-handed monkeys as there are left-handed ones. Next time
42、when you visit a zoo, youll see that some of them will use their right hands and others will use their left hands. But most of the people use their right hands better and this makes life difficult for those left-handed people. We live in a right-handed world.41 Most people _.（A）are left-handed（B） ar
43、e right-handed（C） can use both hands equally well（D）never use left hands 42 Most of us are right-handed and _.（A）so are monkeys（B） no one is left-handed（C） scientists dont know why（D）we never use left hands 43 New-born babies _.（A）can only use their right bands（B） can only use their left hands（C） ca
