1、河北专接本英语（阅读理解）模拟试卷 6 及答案与解析0 We have saved as a final set of emotions the two most important emotions pertaining to (与有关) other people: love and its opposite, hate. Love can be seen everywhere. Yet surprisingly, love has been the subject of less scientific research than other emotions, such as anger
2、and fear. The reason for this may be twofold. First, love is a very complex emotion, difficult to describe and measure. Secondly, unlike many extreme emotions, extreme love is generally not a problem; thus less medical attention has been paid to it.What is love? This is a complex question and requir
3、es a complex answer. Love is an enduring, strong, positive attraction and feeling for another person or thing. But it is more than this. It also involves feelings of caring, protection, excitement, and tenderness. When two people are in love, they feel drawn to one another; they greatly enjoy each o
4、thers company; and they may be sexually attracted to one another.Sometimes it is easier to think in terms of different kinds of love: “puppy“ love(少年时代的恋爱 ), romantic love, brotherly love, and so forth. Though they differ in some respects, they share one important characteristic: a strong positive f
5、eeling toward another.Our feelings toward other people are often complex. We may love someone and, at the same time, be angry with him. Or we may love someone, even though we are jealous of him. We might even love someone and, at the same time, hate him for some specific reason. Hate is a strong neg
6、ative emotion toward someone, and is due to anger, jealousy, or some other factors. Like love, hate can be a very strong emotion. It can also be very dangerous. The question is often asked, “Is it bad to hate?“ The best answer is probably “sometimes yes and sometimes no“. Usually hate does not help
7、us; it makes us feel unhappy and makes us do things that may hurt others.

Forest fire prevention, therefore, is mainly a problem of creating bette, understanding of the importance of forests, an awareness of the danger of fire in the woods, and a
21、 sense of personal responsibility to safeguard the forests from danger. This is not an easy job.Careless smokers are responsible for thousands of forest fires each year. Many of these are started when cigarette butts(烟蒂) and matches are thrown from automobiles. Others are caused by hunters, hikers(徒
22、步旅行者). fishermen, or woods workers who are careless in disposing of their smoking materials. The Forest Service has posted rules in many of the National Forests that prohibit smoking except in certain designated(指定的) areas.

The device restricts the movements of
30、 the tissue that caused the disliked sound. Snoring is a common problem. It may prevent a person from getting enough sleep. It may also prevent enough oxygen from reaching the heart and lungs during sleep. But for most people, snoring affects relations with the other person who must sleep in the sam
31、e room.Snoring happens when the sleeping person breathes with the mouth open. In the back of the mouth the tissues surrounding the entrance of the throat are soft. As the person breathes, the movement of the air around the soft tissues causes them to move. This tissue movement causes the sound we ca
32、ll snoring. A number of possible solutions have been proposed. Some devices keep the mouth shut. They force the patient to breathe only through the nose. A medical operation is also possible. Other devices listen for the sound of snoring and then wake the patient. The new anti-snoring device was dev
33、eloped by a dentist, George Wagner of the Indiana University School of Dentistry. He developed a piece of plastic that fits up against the inside of the mouth.

39、asion my younger sister, aged six, burst into tears when Grandfather proudly guided her finger to the right boy. “How could that boy be you?“ she wailed (哭喊), “He should have a beard.“ We were, of course, all convinced that Grandfathers should have beards, preferably white and bushy, like our own gr
40、andfathers.
