Plants, fishes, dinosaurs(恐龙), and people are made of atoms and molecules, but they are put together in a more complicated way than the molecules in th
18、e primitive ocean. Whats more, living things, that have energy and can reproduce on the Earth four billion years ago were lifeless.After years of study, scientists figured out that living things, including human bodies, are basically made of amino acids and nucleotide(氨基酸与核苷酸)bases. These are molecu
19、les with millions of hydrogen(氢), carbon(碳), nitrogen(氮), and oxygen atom. How could such complicated molecules have been formed in the primitive soup? Scientists were stumped(难住).Then, in 1953, two scientists named Harold Urey and Stanley L. Miller did a very simple experiment to find out what had
20、happened on the primitive Earth. They set up some tubes and bottles in a closed loop(线圈), and put in some of the same gases that were present in the atmosphere four billion years ago: water vapor, carbon dioxide(二氧化碳), methane(甲烷), and hydrogen.Then they shot an electric spark through the gases to s
21、imulate(模拟)bolts(闪电)of lightning on the ancient Earth, circulated the gases through some water, sent them back for more sparks, and so on. After seven days, the water that the gases had been bubbling(起跑)through had turned brown. Some new chemicals were dissolved in it . When Miller and Urey analyzed
22、 the liquid, they found that it contained amino acidsthe very kind of molecules found in all living things.41 When did scientists come to realize how the atoms and molecules on the Earth combined to make living things?（A）Four billion years ago.（B） In 1953.（C） After seven days.（D）Many years later.42
23、Scientists figured out that human bodies are basically made of_.（A）amino acids（B） hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen atoms（C） molecules（D）water vapor, ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane and hydrogen43 Harold Urey and Stanley L. Miller did their experiment in order to_.（A）find out what had happened
24、on the Earth 4 billion years ago（B） simulate bolts of lightning on the ancient Earth（C） dissolve some new chemicals（D）analyze a liquid44 At the end of the last paragraph, the word “it“ refers to_.（A）a close loop（B） an electric spark（C） water（D）the liquid45 According to the writer, living things on t
25、he Earth include_.（A）atoms and molecules（B） chemicals（C） plants, fish, dinosaurs and human beings（D）the primitive soup45 Honeybees cannot live alone. Their body structure and instincts equip them for life in a colony(群居)or community, where they have a complex social organization and the various duti
26、es are divided among the individuals according to physical fitness and age. An individual worker bee cannot reproduce itself. While it may continue to live if forcibly isolated from its mates， it fails to care for itself adequately(足够), and soon dies. Most insects have the ability to hibernate(冬眠)in
27、 winter, but the honeybee seems to have lost this. Since at low temperatures the bee will die, it must have the ability to make its own environment, so far as temperature is concerned. This makes a colony necessary to the bees in winter, so that they may collectively warm each other. Efficiency, if
28、not necessity, demands that the work of the colony be divided, and such a division of labor tends to increase the need to maintain the colony. The physical structure of the honeybee is further suited for the defense of the entire colony rather than for its own defense. The bees barbed(有刺的)sting is u
29、sed only once and is made more effective by the fact that it is left behind in the victim. With the loss of the sting, however, the bee dies. This kind of defensive weapon is not of service to the individual, but to the community.46 According to the passage, bees are fitted for communal life by virt
30、ue of their_.（A）flexibility and initiative（B） intelligence and sensitivity（C） independence and endurance（D）instincts and form47 According to the passage, a worker bee may survive for a short time even if it is_.（A）deprived of its sting（B） denied access to oxygen（C） isolated from other bees（D）exposed
31、 to a wide range of temperatures48 It can be inferred from the passage that at one time bees had the ability to_.（A）increase their activity in lower temperatures（B） leave cold climates during winter（C） remain dormant through periods of cold weather（D）construct insulated hives49 According to the pass
32、age, bees differ from most other communities of insects in their need to_.（A）reproduce in large numbers（B） control the temperature where they live（C） divide the work of their colonies（D）have a complex defense system50 According to the passage, the honeybees sting is particularly effective because it
33、_.（A）has many potential uses（B） can kill several victims at once（C） is located in the rear of the bees body（D）remains with the bees victim50 Who talks more, then, women or men? The seemingly contradictory(矛盾的)evidence is shown by the difference between what I call public and private speaking. More m
34、en feel comfortable doing “public speaking“, while more women feel comfortable doing “private speaking“. Another way of capturing these differences is by using the terms report-talk and rapport-talk.For most women, the language of conversation is primarily a language of rapport(友好)a way of establish
35、ing connections and relationships. Emphasis is placed on displaying similarities and matching experiences. From childhood, girls criticize their fellows who try to stand out or appear better than others. People feel their closest connections at home, or in settings where they feel at homewith one or
36、 a few people they feel close to and comfortable within other words, during private speaking. But even the most public situations can be approached like private speaking.For most men, talk is primarily a means to preserve independence and negotiate(谈判)and maintain status in a hierarchical(分等级的)socia
37、l order. This is done by exhibiting knowledge and skill, and by holding center stage through verbal performance such as storytelling, joking, or giving information. From childhood, men learn to use talking as a way to get and keep attention. So they are more comfortable speaking in larger groups mad
38、e up of people they know less well-in the broadest sense, “public speaking“. But even the most private situations can be approached like public speaking, more like giving a report than establishing rapport.51 What is the main idea of the passage?（A）Women talk more than men.（B） The most preferable wa
39、y men and women tend to use in talking.（C） The difference between public speaking and private speaking（D）Men and women talk in comfortable ways.52 Most women use the language of rapport in their conversations because want to_.（A）show their superiority to others（B） exhibit something they have in comm
40、on（C） set up close relationships（D）find differences between them53 Mens public speaking mainly shows_.（A）their sense of humor（B） their appeal to women（C） their ability to control the conversation（D）their independence and status54 It can be concluded from mens and womens childhoods that_.（A）there is
41、a striking contrast in personality between men and women（B） men and women grow up seeing themselves connecting to others in profoundly different ways（C） men and women talk in different ways because of their different backgrounds（D）the way of speaking reflects the characteristics of different sexes.5
42、5 The author develops his main idea by_.（A）stating his own point of views（B） introducing two different ways of speaking（C） telling why men and women speak in different ways（D）giving vivid examples55 Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence(智力)developed by our environme
43、nt and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius(天才)out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment wi
44、ll develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It i
45、s easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus, if we take two unrelated people at random(随意)from the population. it is likely that their degrees of intelligen
46、ce will be completely different. If on the other hand we take identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now
47、 that we take two identical(同一的)twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a p
48、art. This conclusion us also supported by the fact that people who live in close contact with(与相接触)each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degress of intelligence.56 According to the text, a child_.（A）born with low intelligence will never become a genius（B） born with l
49、ow intelligence become a genius through special education（C） living in rich and varied surroundings will develop his intelligence beyond the limits fixed at birth（D）living in a boring situation will not develop his intelligence at all57 As farasintelligence is concerned, most experts now believe that_
