根据以下材料,回答题

Things to Know about the U.K.

(1) From Buckingham Palace to Oxford, the U.K. is loaded with wonderful icons (标志) of past eras. But it has also modernized with confidence. It"s now better known for vibrant (充满活力的) cities with great nightlife and attraction. Fashions, fine dining, clubbing, shopping—the U.K. is among the world"s best.

(2) Most people have strong preconceptions about the British. But if you"re one of these people,you"d be wise to abandon those ideas. Visit a nightclub in one of the big cities, a football match, or a good local pub and you might more readily describe the English people as humorous and hospitable. It"s certainly true that no other country in the world has more bird-watchers, sports supporters, pet owners and gardeners than the U.K.

(3) Getting around England is pretty easy. Budget (廉价的) airlines like Easyjet and Rynnair fly domestically. Trains can deliver you very efficiently from one major city to another. Long distance express buses are called coaches. Where coaches and btises run on the same route,coaches are more expensive (though quicker) than buses. London"s famous black cabs are excellent but expensive. Minicabs are cheaper competitors, with freelance (个体的) drivers.

But usually you need to give a call first. London"s underground is called the Tube. It"s veryconvenient and can get you to almost any part of the city.

(4) The U.K. is not famous for its food. But you still need to know some of the traditional English foods. The most famous must be fish and chips. The fish and chips are deep fried in flour.

English breakfast is something you need to try. It is fried bacon, sausages, flied eggs, black pudding, flied tomatoes, flied bread and baked beans, with toast and a pot of tea. Other things like shepherd"s pie and Yorkshire pudding are also well-known as a part of English food culture.

(5) Pubbing and clubbing are the main forms of English nightlife, especially for the young. Pubbing means going to a pub with friends, having drinks, and chatting. Clubbing is different from pubbing and includes going to a pub, or a place of music, or a bar, or any other places to gather with friends.

Clubbing can be found everywhere. Usually there is some kind of dress code for clubbing, such as no jeans, no sportswear, or smart clubwear, while pubbing is much more casual.

根据以下材料,回答题。

Some Things We Know About Language

Many things about language are a mystery, and many will always remain so. But some things we do know.

First, we know that all human beings have a language of some sort. There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language, no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one another. Furthermore, in historical times, there has never been a race of men without a language.

Second, there is no such thing as a primitive language. There are many people whose cultures are undeveloped, who are, as we say, uncivilized, but the languages they speak are not primitive. In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing.

This has not always been well understood; indeed, the direct contrary has often been stated.Popular ideas of the language of the American Indians will illustrate. Many people have supposed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive system of noises. Study has proved this to be nonsense. There are, or were, hundreds of American Indian languages, and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very old. They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with, but they are no more primitive than English and Greek.

A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate. That is,each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language.

Finally, we know that language changes. It is natural and normal for language to change ; the only languages which do not change are the dead ones. This is easy to understand if we look backward in time. Change goes on in all aspects of language. Grammatical features change as do speech sounds, and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly. Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.

In the second paragraph the passage tells us that 查看材料

A.some backward race doesn"t have a language of its own

B.some race in history didn"t possess a language of its own

C.any human race, whether backward or not, has a language

D.some races on earth can communicate without language

根据以下材料,回答题

Electric Backpack

Backpacks are convenient. They can hold your books, your lunch, and a change of clothes leaving your hands free to do other things. Someday, if you don"t mind carrying a heavy load, your backpacks might also power your MP3 player, keep your cell phone running, and maybe even light your way home.

Lawrence C. Rome and his colleagues from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass. have invented a backpack thatmakes electricity from energy produced while its wearer walks. In military actions search-and-rescue operations and scientific field studies, people rely increasingly on cellphones global positioning system (GPS) receivers,night-vision goggles, and other battery powered devices to get around and do their work. The backpack"s electricity-generating feature could dramatically reduce the amount of a wearer"s load now devoted to spare batteries, report Rome and his colleagues in the Sept.9 science.

The backpack"s electricity-creating powers depend on springs used to hang a cloth pack from its metal frame. The frame. sits against the wearer"s back, and the whole pack moves up and down as the person walks. A gear mechanism converts vertical movements of the pack to rotary motions of an electrical generator, producing up to 7.4 watts.

Unexpectedly, tests showed that wearers of the new backpack alter their gaits in response to the pack"s oscillations, so that they carry loads more comfortably and with less effort than they do ordinary backpacks. Because of that surprising advantage, Rome plans to commercialize both electric and non-electric versions of the backpack.

The backpack could be especially useful for soldiers, scientists, mountaineers, and emergency workers who typically carry heavy backpacks. For the rest of us, power-generating backpacks could make it possible to walk, play video games, watch TV, and listen to music, all at the same time. Electricity-generating packs aren"t on the market yet, but if you do get one eventually just make sure to look both ways before crossing the street!

Backpacks are convenient because __________. 查看材料

A.they can be verylarge

B.they can hold as many things as you want to carry

C.your handsare freed to do other things

D.you do not have to carry things withyou

Racial Prejudice

In some countries where racial prejudice is acute, violence has been taken for granted as a means of solving differences, and this is not even questioned. There are countries 51_________ the white man imposes his rule by brute (粗暴的) force, there are countries where the black man protests by 52_________ fire to cities and by looting and pillaging (抢劫). Important people on both sides, who would appear to be reasonable men, get up and calmly argue in 53_________ of violence as if it were a legitimate (合法的) solution,54_________ any other. What is really frightening, what really 55_________ you with despair, is the realization that when it comes to the crunch(关键时刻), we have made no actual 56_________ at all. We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our instincts remain basically unchanged. The whole of the recorded 57_________ of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learnt that 58_________ never solves a problem but makes it more acute. The sheer horror, the blood and the suffering. 59_________ nothing.

No solution ever comes to 60_________ the morning after when we dismally (阴郁地) contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us.

The truly reasonable men who 61_________ where the solutions lie are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing. They are despised, mistrusted and even persecuted 62_________ their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law enforcement. If half the energy that goes into 63_________ acts were put to good use, if our efforts were directed at 64_________ up the slums and ghettos (贫民窟), improving living-standards and providing education and employment for all,we would not have gone a long way to 65_________ at a solution.

根据以下材料,回答题

The Issue of Package

Maybe everyone has such an experience that you have to unwrap several layers of packaging when you enjoy a piece of candy. But this overuse of wrapping is not confined to luxuries. It is becoming increasingly difficult to buy anything that is not done up in beautiful wrapping.

The package itself is of no interest to the shopper, who usually throws it away immediately. So why is it done? Some of it, like the cellophane on meat, is necessary, but most of the rest is simply competitive selling. This is absurd. Packaging is using up scarce energy and resources and messing up the environment.

Recycling is already happening with milk bottles which are returned to the dairies, washed out,and refilled. But both glass and paper are being threatened by the growing use of plastic. More dairies are experimenting with plastic bottles.

The trouble with plastic is that it does not rot. Some environmentalists argue that the only solution to the problem of ever increasing plastic containers is to do away with plastic altogether in the shops, a suggestion unacceptable to many manufacturers who say there is no alternative to their handy plastic packs.

It is evident that more research is needed into the recovery and reuse of various materials and into the cost of collecting and recycling containers as opposed to producing new ones. Unnecessary packaging, intended to be used just once, and make things look better so more people will buy them, is clearly becoming increasingly absurd. But it is not so much a question of doing away with packaging as using it sensibly. What is needed now is a more advanced approach to using scarce resources for what is, after all, a relatively unimportant function.

"This overuse of wrapping is not confined to luxuries. " (Line 2, Paragraph 1) means __________. 查看材料

A.more wrapping is needed for ordinary products

B.more wrapping is used for luxuries than for ordinary products

C.too much wrapping is used for both luxury and ordinary products

D.the wrapping used for luxury products is unnecessary

根据以下材料,回答题

A Country"s Standard of Living

The "standard of living" of any country means the average person"s share of the goods and services the country produces. A country"s standard of living, therefore __________ (51) first on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this __________ (52) is not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy: "goods" such as food and clothing, and "services" such as transport and entertainment.

A country"s capacity to __________ (53) wealth depends upon many factors, most of __________ (54)have an effect on one another. Wealth depends __________ (55) a great extent upon a country"s natural resources. Some regions of the word are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have fertile (肥沃的)soil and a favorable climate; other regions __________ (56) none of them. Next to natural resources comes the ability to __________ (57) them to use. China is perhaps as rich as the USA in natural resources, but suffered for many years __________ (58) civil and external wars. And for this and other __________ (59) was unable to develop her resources. Sound and stable political conditionsand __________ (60) from foreign invasionsenable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more __________ (61) than another country equally well favored by nature but less well ordered.

A country"s standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and __________ (62) within its own borders, but also upon what is directly produced through intemational trade. For example, Britain"s wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural __________ (63) would be much less if she had to dependonly on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplus (过剩的 ) manufactured goods to be Waded abroad for the agricultural products __________ (64)would otherwise be lacking. A country"s wealth is, therefore, much influenced by its manufacturing capacity, __________ (65) that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.

根据以下材料,回答题。

What We Take From and Give to the Sea

As long as we have been on earth, we have used the sea around us. We take things from the ocean, and we give to it.

We take fishes from the ocean——millions of kilograms of fish, every year, to feed millions of people. (46) We take minerals from the ocean. One way to get salt is to place seawater in a shallow basin and leave it until it evaporates. (47) Much gold and silver drift dissolved in the waters of the sea, too. But the sea does not give them up by simple evaporation.

Other gifts from the sea are pearls, sponges and seaweed. Pearls become jewelry. (48)Seaweed becomes food of many kinds——even candy, and ice cream——as well as medicine. Believe it or not, fresh water is another gift from the sea. We cannot drink ocean water. (49)But ocean water becomes fresh water when the salts are removed. In the future, we will find ourselves depending more and more on fresh water from the sea.

The sea gives us food, fertilizer, minerals, water, and other gifts. What do we give the sea? Garbage. (50) Huge as it is, the ocean cannot hold all the water we pour into it Dumping garbage into the ocean is killing off sea life. Yet as the world population grows, we may

need the sea and its gifts more than ever.

We are finally learning that if we destroy our sea, we might also destroy ourselves. Hopefully, it is not too late.

A.Natural sponges become cleaning aids.

B.We pollute the ocean when we use it as a garbage dump.

C.The area of the sea is becoming smaller anal smaller.

D.Along with salt, other minerals are left after evaporation.

根据以下材料,回答题The Biology of MusicHumans use music as a powerful way to communicate.

根据以下材料,回答题

The Biology of Music

Humans use music as a powerful way to communicate. It may also play an important role in love. But what is music, and how does it work its magic? Science does not yet have all theanswers.

What are two things that make humans different from animals? One is language, and the other is music. It is true that some animals can sing (and many birds sing .better than a lot of people).

However, the songs of animals, such as birds and whales, are very limited. It is also true that humans, not animals ,have developed musical instruments.

Music is strange stuff. It is clearly different from language. However, people can use music to communicate things——especially their emotions. When music is combined with speech in a song, it is a very powerful form. of communication. But, biologically speaking, what is music?

If music is truly different from speech, then we should process music and language in different parts of the brain. The scientific evidence suggests that this is true.

Sometimes people who suffer brain damage lose their ability to process language. However,they don"t automatically lose their musical abilities. For example, Vissarion Shebalin, a Russiancomposer, had a stroke in 1953. It injured the left side of his brain. He could no longer speak or understand speech. He could, however, still compose music until his death ten years later.

On the other hand, sometimes strokes cause people to lose their musical ability, but they can still speak and understand speech. This shows that the brain processes music and language separately.

By studying the physical effects of music on the body, scientists have also learned a lot about how music influences the emotions. But why does music have such a strong effect on us? That is a harder question to answer. Geoffrey Miller, a researcher at University College, London, thinks that music and love have a strong connection. Music requires special talent, practice, and physical ability. That"s why it may be a way of showing your fitness to be someone"s.mate. For example,singing in tune or playing a musical instrument requires fine muscular control. You also need a good memory to remember the notes. And playing or singing those notes correctly suggests that your hearing is in excellent condition. Finally ,when a man sings to the woman he loves (or vice versa), it may be a way of showing off.

However, Miller"s theory still doesn"t explain why certain combinations of sounds influence our emotions so deeply. For scientists, this is clearly an area that needs further research.

Humans,but not animals, can sing. 查看材料
