Anthropology
Anthropology is the study of human beings as creatures of society. It fastens its attention upon those physical characteristics and industrial techniques, those conventions and values, which distinguish one community from all others that belong to a different tradition.
The distinguishing mark of anthropology among the social sciences is that it includes for serious study other societies than our own. For its purposes any social regulation of mating and reproduction is as significant as our own, though it may be that of the Sea Dyaks, and have no possible historical relation to that of our civilization. To the anthropologist, our customs and those of a New Guinea tribe are two possible social schemes for dealing with a common problem, and in so far as he remains an anthropologist he is bound to avoid any weighting of one in favor of the other. He is interested in human behavior, not as it is shaped by one tradition, our own, but as it has been shaped by any tradition whatsoever. He is interested in a wide range of custom that is found in various cultures, and his object is to understand the way in which these cultures change and differentiate, the different forms through which they express themselves and the manner in which the customs of any people function in the lives of the individuals.
Now customs has been commonly regarded as a subject of any great moment. The inner workings of our own brains we feel to be uniquely worthy of investigation, but custom, we have a way of thinking, is behavior. at its most commonplace. As a matter of fact, it is the other way round. Traditional custom is a mass of detailed behavior. more astonishing than what any one person can ever evolve in individual actions. Yet that is a rather trivial aspect of the matter. The fact of first-rate importance is the predominant role that custom plays inexperience and belief, and the very great varieties it may manifest.
According to the passage, we can say that anthropology______.
A．can reveal an enormous diversity of traditions
B．can deal with human beings as one group of the creatures in the living world
C．can provide insights into the relationship between human beings and nature
D．can distinguish the human race from other creatures

Invisibility Ring
Scientists can"t yet make an invisibility cloak like the one that Harry Potter uses. But， for the first time， they"ve constructed a simple cloaking device that makes itself and something placed inside it invisible to microwaves.
When a person "sees" an object， his or her eye senses many different waves of visible light as they bounce off the object. The eye and brain then work together to organize the sensations and reconstruct the object"s original shape. So， to make an object invisible， scientists have to keep waves from bouncing off it. And they have to make sure the object casts no shadow. Otherwise， the absence of reflected light on one side would give the object away.
Invisibility isn"t possible yet with waves of light that the human eye can see. But it is now possible with microwaves. Like visible light， microwaves are a form. of radiant energy. They are part of the electromagnetic spectrum， which also includes radio waves， infrared light， ultravioletmys， X rays， and gamma rays. The wave lengths of microwaves are shorter than those of radio waves but longer than those of visible light.
The scientists" new "invisibility device" is the size of a drink coaster and shaped likearing. The ring is made of a special material with unusual ability. When microwaves strike thering， very few bounce off it. Instead， they pass through the ring， which bends the waves all the way around until they reach the opposite side. The waves then return to their original paths.
To a detector set up to receive microwaves on the other side of the ring， it looks as if the waves never changed their paths as if there were no object in the way! So， the ring is effectively invisible.
When the researchers put a small copper loop inside the ring， it， too， is nearly invisible.
However， the cloaking device and anything inside it do cast a pale shadow. And the device works only for microwaves， not for visible light or any kind of electromagnetic radiation. So， Harry Potter"s invisibility cloak doesn"t have any real competition yet.
Harry Potter is mentioned in the passage， because scientists __________. 查看材料

Take Ladan and Laleh Bijani from Iran. They were identical twins who had spent their entire 29 years joined at the head. And yet, Ladan, the more outspoken of the pair, told journalists, "We are two completely separate individuals, we have different world views, We have different lifestyles, we think very differently about issues." Why did Ladan and Laleh have different personalities？
Self-organized systems in insects can provide us with some ideas. A colony of ants, for example, can be seen as a self-organized system. No supervisor tells the ants what to do, and yet all the jobs get done. The system works in such a way that if one ant carries out a particular job, it be comes less likely that another ant will attempt that job because it no longer needs doing. The result is what economists call "division of labor. "
Self-organization also produces division of labor in human groups. Each individual looks for something to specialize in, his or her own suitable position in the group. If one position is occupied, the individual will seek another. This process increases the differences even between identical twins, because once they've chosen different specialities, a circular mechanism causes small initial differences between them to widen.
Although identical twins look very much alike, people who know them well will distinguish between them. They might, for example, address more questions and comments to one twin than the other—perhaps by chance first. But the consequence is that the twin who is addressed more of ten will do more talking than the other twin, which will cause people who know them to address still more of their questions and comments to that twin. The result, over time, will be one outspoken twin and one quieter one—like Ladan and Laleh Bijani.
According to the writer we learn that identical twins______.
A．differ in personality
B．differ in appearance
C．have the same lifestyle
D．have the same outlook

A few years later, thousands of miners were at work there. They rushed from all over the world to seek their fortunes. Most of the miners dreamed of finding one of the large stones, perhaps one like the famous Cullinan Diamond, which was found in 1905 and was as big as a man's fist. This great stone was cut into several small gems, some of which can now be seen amongst the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London.
The modem world, however, has found more important uses for its diamond than the making of jewellery. They have been put to work; for diamond is the hardest mineral foud in our earth. It can cut or polish the hardest steel or grind its way through solid rock. Only a diamond is hard enough to cut another diamond, and it is not the big stones which are needed for the drills, saws and grindingwheels. Only factories now demand the diamond dust which the early miners looked upon as useless.
Yet it is a strange fact that nature makes its hardest mineral from exactly the same sub- stance as one of its softest. This soft mineral is graphite, which is very easily broken up and is used to make the "lead" in your pencil. The name "lead" should not really be used, because graphite consists of nothing but carbon—just the same as a diamond.
What was the dream of the early miners.-
A．They wanted to get as much diamond as they could.
B．They wanted to make their fortunes.
C．They wanted to find a large diamond.
D．They wanted to find the Cullian Diamond.

听力原文： Most of us have an image of such a normal or standard English in pronunciation, and very commonly in Great Britain this is "Received Pronunciation", which is often associated with the public schools, Oxford, and the BBD. At the same time, it must be remembered that so far as the English-speaking countries are concerned, this "Received Pronunciation" approached the status of a "standard" almost only in England. Educated Scots, Irishmen, Americans, Australians, and others have their own different images of a standard form. of English.
Even in England it is difficult to speak of a standard in pronunciation. Pronunciation is infinitely variable, so that even given the will to adopt a single pronunciation, it would be difficult to achieve. There is no sure way of any two people saying the same word with precisely the same sound. In this respect pronunciation much more closely resembles handwriting than spelling. In spelling, there are absolute distinctions which can be learnt and imitated with complete precision: One can know at once whether a wont is spelt in a standard way or not. But two person' s handwritings and ciations may both be perfectly intelligible，yet have obvious differences without out being able to say which is“better”or more“standard”．
(33)
A．English pronunciation, spelling and handwriting.
B．The status of Received Pronunciation in the English-speaking countries.
C．The difficulty of achieving a standard in English pronunciation.
D．The importance of achieving a standard in English pronunciation.

Business and the environment
These days in business, people have to face many challenging questions when designing , and implementing new projects in undeveloped areas of the countryside. One issue which has to be faced is whether it is possible to introduce new technology without destroying the local environment.
Economic (21) and environmental conservation are often seen as natural enemies. It is unfortunate that in the past this has often been true, and it has been necessary to choose between (22) the project or protecting the environment. However, by taking environmental considerations (23) at an early stage in a project, companies can significantly reduce any impact on local plants and animals.
For example, in southern Africa, a company called CEL was asked to put up 410 km of a power transmission line without disturbing the rare birds which inhabit that area. The project was carried out with (24) disturbance last summer. What may surprise many business people is the fact that this consideration for local wildlife did not in any way (25) down the project. Indeed, the necessary advance planning (26) with local knowledge and advanced technology, (27) that the project was actually completed ahead of schedule. CEL was contracted to finish the job by October and (28) to do so two months earlier.
CEL is one of those companies which is (29) to the principle of environmental conservation. Many other companies have yet to be (30) of the importance of balancing the needs of people with those of the environment. However, it may be the only realistic way forward.

A．development
B．progression
C．rise
D．increase
