B

" How far is it to the next village?" the American asks a man sitting by the side of the road. In some countries, because the man realizes that the traveler is tired and eager to get to his destination (目的地) , he will politely say " Just down the road. " He thinks this is more encouraging , gentler, and therefore the wanted answer. So the American drives through the night, getting more and more angry, feeling " tricked". He thinks the man purposely cheated him, for obviously he must have known the distance quite well.

Had conditions been turned over, the American would have felt he was "cheating" the driver if he had said the next town was close when he knew it was really 15 miles further on. Though, he, too, would be sympathetic(同情的)to the weary driver, he would say "You have a good way to go

yet; it is at least 15 miles. "The driver might be disappointed, but he would know what to expect.

Whether to be correct or polite leads to many misunderstandings between people of different

cul-tures. If you are aware of the situation in advance, it is sometimes easier to recognize the problem.

61. The man at the roadside tells the American it is close to the next village because

[ A] he is playing a trick on him

[ B ] the American expects the answer

[ C] he doesn ' t know the exact distance at all

[D]he wants to encourage him to go further

The name Hallowe' en comes from the original "hallowed" (or holy) "evening". Many of the customs of Hollowe' en date back to ancient times when people believed in magic and superstition.

In ancient Ireland, people believed that on this night the dead could return to earth as witches, ghosts, black cats or in other strange forms. These creatures would perform. all sorts of wicked mischief. They were creatures of the night, and any form. of light was a protection against them. People made special lanterns, which they placed by windows and doors to keep the evil spirits away. In time, these lanterns came to be made out of hollowed-out pumpkins with a scary face carved on one side and a candle placed in the center. These are known as "Jack-o'-lanterns."

Hallowe' en superstitions were brought over to America in the nineteenth century and have now been trans formed into a creative seasonal celebration. Children dress up as ghosts and witches. On the evening of October 31st, they nm from house to house calling out "nick or treat." Neighbours give them candy ("treats") and if they do not the children might play a "trick" on them, like dusting flour over their doorstop; or making a lot of noise outside their windows. Adults also dress up and go to costume parties where they might receive prices for the best or scariest costume.

People decorate their houses with cut-outs of ghosts, witches, skeletons and spiders' webs, as well as beautifully carved pumpkins. Stores sell all sorts of goods in the typical Hallowe' en colors of orange and black. You can also buy pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies and even pumpkin ice cream!

Hallowe' en might began in ______.

A.the 19 th century

B.ancient Ireland

C.America

D.England

Electronic Mail

During the past few years, scientist the world over have suddenly found themselves productively engaged in task they once spent their lives avoiding-writing, any kind of writing but particularly letter writing. Encouraged by electronic mail's surprisingly high speed, convenience and economy, people who never before touched the stuff are regularly, skillfully, even cheerfully tapping out a great deal of correspondence.

Electronic networks, woven into the fabric of scientific communication these days, are the route to colleagues in distant counties, shared data, bulletin boards and electronic journals. Anyone with a personal computer, a modem and the software to link computers over telephone lines can sign on. An estimated five million scientists have done so with more joining every day, most of them communicating through a bundle of interconnected domestic and foreign routes known collectively as the internet, or net. E-mail is staring to edge out the fax, the telephone, overnight mail, and of course, land mail. It shrinks time and distance between scientific collaborators, in par[ because it is conveniently asynchronous (writers can type while their colleagues across time zones sleep; their message will be waiting). If it is not yet speeding discoveries, it is certainly accelerating communication.

Jeremy Bernstei, the physicist and science writer, once called E-mail the physicist's umbilical cord. Lately other people, too, have been discovering its connective virtues. Physicists are using it; college students are using it, everybody is using it, and as a sign that it has come of age, the New Yorker has accelerates its liberating presence with a cartoon--an appreciative dog seated at a keyboard, saying happily, "On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog."

The reasons given below about the popularity of E-mail can be found in the passage except______

A.direct and reliable

B.time-saving in delivery

C.money-saving

D.available at any time

听力原文: Students who want to attend an American college or university must explain how they will pay for their education. They have to show that they will be able to pay for each year of study.

(29) Students have to consider not only the tuition, the cost of classes, but also meals and a place to live, known as room-and-board. They also need money for books and supplies. And they need money to spend for social activities and other things.

Educational advisers say foreign students should keep enough money in a local bank to pay for at least two months of spending.

So how much will a year at an American school cost? Generally speaking, the answer is: a lot.

(30) The University of Washington says foreign students are paying more than thirty-six thousand dollars this year.

This major research university currently has two thousand six hundred foreign students from more than one hundred countries. There are many schools that cost less, but also others that cost more.

Its Web site says the University of Washington does not offer financial assistance to international students. This is generally true of American schools, especially at the undergraduate level.

(31) The international application for the university includes a Statement of Financial Responsibility that must be signed. Students must also provide a bank letter or statement from within the past six months. And they have to name anyone who will help with payments. These people must send proof from a bank to show that they have the money.

29. Which has to be considered for foreign students according to the passage?

30.How much do foreign students in The University of Washington pay this year?

31.What is not included in the international application for the university?

(30)

A.Tuition.

B.Room-and-board.

C.Social activities

D.All of the above.

Schooling and Education

It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education.Nevertheless,it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school.The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schoolin9. Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere,whether in the shower or in the job,whether in a kitchen or on a tractor.It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning?The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio,from a child to a distinguished scientist.

Whereas schooling has a certain predictability,education quite often produces surprises.A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions.People are engaged in education from infancy on.Education,then,is a very broad。inclusive term. It is a lifelong process,a process that starts long before the start of school.and one that should be an integral part of one’s entire life.Schooling,on the other hand,is a specific,formalized process,whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next.

Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time.take as.signed seats,are taught by an adult,use similar textbooks,do homework,take exams.and soon.The slices of reality that are to be learned,whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government,have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught.For example,high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their elasses the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with.There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.

There is no difference between schooling and education in the United States. 查看材料

Natural Medicines

Since earliest days, humans have used some kinds of medicines. We know this because humans have survived. Ancient treatments for injury and disease were successful enough to keep humans from dying out completely.

They were successful long before the time of modern medicine. Before the time of doctors with white coats and shiny(发亮的)instruments. Before the time of big hospitals with strange and wonderful equipment.

Many parts of the world still do not have university-educated doctors, Nor do they have expensive hospitals. Yet injuries are treated. And diseases are often cured. How? By ancient methods. By medicines that might seem mysterious, even magical(有魔力的). Traditional medicines are neither mysterious nor magical, however.

Through the centuries, tribal (部族的)medicine men experimented with plants. They found many useful chemicals in the plants. And scientists believe many of these traditional medicines may provide the cure for some of today's most serious diseases.

Experts say almost 80% of the people in the world use plants for health care. These natural medicines are used not just because people have no other form. of treatment. They are used because people trust them. In developed areas, few people think about the source of the medicines they buy in a store. Yet many widely used medicines are from ancient sources, especially plants. Some experts say more than 25% of modern medicines come, in one way or another, from nature.

Scientists have long known that nature is really a chemical factory. All living things contain chemicals that help them survive. So scientists' interest in traditional medicine is not new. But it has become an urgent concern. This is because the earth's supply of natural medicines may be dropping rapidly.

The passage indicates that ancient treatments for injury and disease were ______.

A.much more successful than modern ones

B.successful enough for humans to survive

C.successful in all cases

D.of little help to humans

根据下列文章,请回答 36~40 题。Human Space Exploration

While scientists are searching the cause of the Columbia disaster, NASA.is moving ahead with plans to develop a new craft that would replace shuttles(航天飞机)on space station missions by 2012 and respond quickly to space station emergencies.

The space agency released the first set of mission needs and requirements several days ago for the orbital space plane(轨道航天飞机),which would be designed to transport a crew of four to and from the International Space Station.

Although it includes few specifics,the plan states the orbiter(轨道航天飞机)will be safer, cheaper and require less preparation time than the shuttle. It would be able to transport four crew members by 2012--though it would be available for rescue missions by 2010. NASA.says the craft should be able to transport injured or ill space station crew members to "definitive (决定性的) medical care" within 24 hours.

The release of the requirements showed NASA.remains focused on the long-term priorities of space exploration, even as questions exist concerning the loss of Columbia and its seven-member crew on February 1, 2003.

Experts at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, have been working for years on a successor to the shuttle. The project, known as the Space Launch Initiative(倡议), was divided last year into two parts--one focusing on a future launch vehicle, the other on a space station orbiter. The orbiter is expected to be ready sooner.

The program's managers say NASA.officials have told them not to alter Space Launch Initiative in light of the Columbia disaster.

U.S. President George W. Bush asked Congress for about US $1 billion for Space Launch Initiative in 2004, funds that would be almost equally split between the Orbital Space Plane and Next Generation Launch Technology.

第36题:NASA plans to design the new space craft to

A.control the International Space Station.

B.carry astronauts to the International Space Station.

C.transport equipment to the International Space Station.

D.train astronauts in space flights.

More About Alzheimer's Disease

Scientists have developed skin tests that may be used in the future to identify people with Alzheimer's disease and may ultimately allow physicians to predict who is at risk of getting this neurological disorder.

The only current means of diagnosing the disease in a living patient is a long and expensive series of tests that eliminate every other cause of dementia.

"Since Alois Alzheimer described the disease nearly a century ago, people have been trying to find a way to accurately diagnose it in its early stages," said Patricia Grady, acting director of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke in Bethesda, Maryland. "This discovery, if confirmed, could prove a big step forward in our efforts to deal with and understand the disease."

Alzheimer's is the single greatest cause of mental deterioration in older people, affecting between 2.5 million and 4 million people in the United States alone. The devastating disorder gradually destroys memory and the ability to function, and eventually causes death. There is currently no known treatment for the disease.

Researches discovered that the skin cells of Alzheimer's patients have defects that interfere with their ability to regulate the flow of potassium in and out of the cells. The fact that the cell defects are present in the skin suggests that Alzheimer's results from physiological changes throughout the body, and that dementia may be the first noticeable effect of these changes as the defects affect the cells in the brain, scientists said.

The flow of potassium is especially critical in cells responsible for memory formation. The scientists also found two other defects that affect the cells' supply of calcium, another critical element.

One test developed by researchers calls for growing skin cells in a laboratory culture and then testing them with an electrical detector to determine if the microscopic tunnels that govern the flow of potassium are open. Open potassium channels create a unique electrical signature.

A spokesman for the Alzheimer's association said that if the validity of the diagnostic test can be proven it would be important development, but cautioned that other promising tests for Alzheimer's have been disappointing.

The newly developed skin tests may be used in the future to allow doctors to ______.

A.cure those with Alzheimer's disease

B.discover the cause of Alzheimer's disease

C.predict who might get Alzheimer's disease

D.find the consequences of Alzheimer's disease

根据以下内容回答题:

No one knows for sure why birds migrate.One theory of migration says that ancient birds of the northern part of the earth were forced southward during the Ice Age,when ice covered large parts of Europe,Asia and North America.As the ice melted,the birds came back to their homelands,spent the summer,and then went south again in winter.Gradually,these comings and goings became habits,and birds now migrate though much of the ice has gone. Another theory proposes that the ancient home of all modern birds was the tropic areas.There lived so well that the region became overcrowded.Many species had to move northward.During the summer,these birds found plenty of room and food.In winter,however,food be-came scarce and they had to return to the south. A newer theory is that increasing daylight stimulates certain glands(腺)in the bird’s body and prepares it for migration.One scientist is able to make birds migrate in midwinter by expo-sing them for two months to artificial daylight.Recoveries of marked birds indicate that they fly north as soon as they are set free.The conclusion is that the urge to migrate is determined by changes in the bird’s body which take place under seasonal changes in the length of daylight. This theory would account for the fact that not all birds migrate at the same time.Each sDecies seems to have its own schedule.The theory would also account for the regular time and rou‘tes of migration.Birds arrive at a given place year after year.Unfavorable weather delays them only a few days.Total hours of daylight,rather than weather,start them on the way. How birds find their way to the same place year after year and why they follow their own Darticular route are still mysteries.They evidently do not follow known landmarks,for many young birds migrate alone without the help of experienced adults.

We can conclude from the first paragraph that__________ .

A.during the Ice Age,the whole Europe was covered with ice

B.the south used to be the homelands of all birds

C.scientists can confidently explain why birds migrate now

D.migration of birds can be explained by the change of ice on earth
