The female sea horses lay the eggs, but unlike other creatures, it's the males that give birth to the young.Male sea horses have a fold of skin on their bellies that forms a pocket, called a brood pouch (育儿袋) . During the breeding season, the sea horse's pouch swells to receive eggs. A female sea horse lays up to 200 eggs at a time in the pouch. Then she swims off, leaving her male partner to care for the developing eggs and give birth to young sea horses. The female will return every day to check on her mate and the eggs, but she doesn't stay long, nor does she take part in the birth.It takes about six weeks for the eggs in the male's pouch to develop. During this time the male avoids open water and hides in sea grass. His big pouch makes it difficult for him to swim, so the male often uses his tail to grasp a piece of sea grass. Firmly gripping the grass, he will stay perfectly still for hours or even days. The male sea horse will change his color to blend with his surroundings and avoid being seen by eaters who will try to eat him or poke holes in his pouch to get the eggs.The eggs hatch inside the male's pouch. When the babies begin moving around, the male sea horse knows it's time for them to be born. He grabs a sea grass stem with his tail and begins rocking, bending his body back and forth. This causes the opening to enlarge until it is wide enough for the first baby sea horse to shoot out. The father sea horse continues rocking, bending, and stretching his body so that the rest of the babies can be born. Sometimes he has to press his pouch against a rock or some stiff seaweed to force the young out.Usually it takes two days for the father sea horse to give birth to all his young. He is very tired when it's over.36. Which fact does the author want you to remember most?A. Baby sea horses are born in groups of five or more.B. The female sea horse lays up to 200 eggs at a time.C.

Checking the eggs.C. Protecting the eggs.D. Hatching the eggs.38. To protect himself and his eggs, the male sea horse does all the following EXCEPT .A. changing his colorB. gripping a piece of grassC. staying motionlessD. enlarging his pouch39. The author suggests when sea horse babies are ready to be born .A. the male sea horse seems very happyB. it is difficult for them to come outC. the female sea horse joins the maleD. they need large space in the pouch40.

He must obtain data both on resources of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage or discourage money spending.If an economist was asked which of the three groups borrow most ---people with rising incomes, stable incomes or declining incomes ---he would probably answer: those with declining income. Actually, in the years 1947-1950, the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with declining incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional ideas about earning and spending are not always reliable.Another traditional idea is that if people who have money expect prices to go up, they will hurry to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying. But research surveys have shown that this is not always true. The typical attitude was expressed by the wife of a mechanic in an interview at a time of rising prices, "In a few months," she said, "we'll have to pay more for meat and milk; we'll have less to spend on other things." Her family had been planning to buy a new car but they postponed this purchase. Furthermore, the rise in prices that has already taken place may arouse resentment and buyer's resistance may be aroused. This is shown by the following typical comment: "I just don't pay these prices; they are too high."The investigations mentioned above were carried out in America. Investigations conducted at the same time in Great Britain, however, produced results that were more in agreement with traditional ideas about saving and spending patterns. The condition most conducive (有助于) to spending appears to be price stability. If prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, and they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that the common business policy of keeping stable prices is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology.41. It can be inferred that to predict how consumers will spend their money, one should .A. rely on traditional approachesB. try to encourage or discourage consumersC. carry out investigationsD. do researches in a laboratory first42. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. Consumers' behavior in time of price increase.B. Price increase stimulates people to hasten to buy things.C. What consumers normally buy when they expect prices to go up?D. Consumers' attitude towards price change.43. According to the survey, if Englishmen expect prices to go up, they will .A. spend lessB. buy moreC. buy only what they needD. postpone buying44. From the results of the surveys, the writer concludes that .A. maintaining stable prices is a correct business policyB. the saving and spending patterns in Great Britain are better than those in AmericaC. the consumers always expect prices to remain stableD. consumers should adapt to the change of prices45. Which of the following statements is always TRUE according to the surveys mentioned in thepassage?A. Consumers will put off buying things if they expect price to decrease.B. Consumer behavior is influenced by the price condition.C. Consumers will spend their money quickly if they expect prices to increase.D. Traditional ideas about earning and spending are reliable.Passage ThreeThe youthful addiction to mobile phones that dismays so many parents and teachers could be providing a big benefit that "mobiles" could be turning teenagers away from tobacco.Smoking has declined among British teenagers from 30% in 1996 to 23% in 1999 while ownership of the ubiquitous ( 到处存在的) mobile phones among 15-17-year-olds rose rapidly to 70% by August 2000.Adults say their mobile phones are the only way they can keep in touch with work, family and friends. But for teenagers the pocket-sized devices are smart, stylish and adult. And like cigarettes, they are important in socializing. Pre-paid cards for mobiles a popular alternative to monthly bills could be consuming teens' pocket money that might otherwise go for cigarettes. Anne Charlton, professor of the University of Manchester, has even noted a similarity between mobile marketing and tobacco campaigns. "Mobile phones are marketed in a similar way to cigarettes with a sales pitch that focuses on self-image, identity and confidence," she said in a statement. Clive Bates and Anne Charlton stressed that at this stage it is only a hypothesis (假设) . But they believe it is a plausible one.The health hazards of smoking are well documented but the potential risks of using a mobile phone are still uncertain. Some researchers have suggested that they can cause brain damage and that the young are particularly easy to be affected. "With smoking you have a very visible body count. In the UK there are about 120,000 ---in the world there are about four million deaths a year from smoking-related diseases," Bates said.46. By "mobiles could be turning teenagers away from tobacco" in Paragraph 1, the author means______.A. teenagers are probably more addicted to mobile phones than smokingB. teenagers do not carry tobacco with them when they travel by carC. teenagers usually smoke a lot when they drive automobilesD. teenagers have to stop smoking when they use their mobile phones47. The ownership of mobile phones among teenagers went up rapidly mainly because .A. teenagers know nothing about the danger of using mobile phonesB. mobile phones are getting more important in socializingC. teenagers have realized the danger of smokingD. mobile phones are much cheaper than they used to be48. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Mobile phones and cigarettes are marketed in completely different ways.B. The declining of smoking and the rising of mobiles are just a coincidence.C. Adults and teenagers think differently about mobile phones.D. Many parents and teachers welcome the youthful addiction to mobile phones.49. The underlined word “plausible” in Paragraph 3 most probably means.A. strangeB. unreasonableC. unbelievableD. reasonable50. Concerning the disadvantages of using mobile phones, the author implies that .A. people know little about the health hazards of mobiles nowB. mobiles have fewer health hazards than smoking doesC. people are certain about the health hazards of mobilesD. mobiles are a big waste of money for teenagers at schoolPassage FourA person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work. He may have the idea that he is not capable of it. A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make the most of his mental faculties, or he may accept another person's mistaken estimate of his ability. Older people may be handicapped by the mistaken belief that they are incapable of learning anything new because of their age.A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort, because he feels that it would be useless. He won't go at a job with the confidence necessary for success. He is therefore likely to fail, and the failure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence.Alfred Adler, a famous doctor, had an experience which illustrates this. When he was a small boy he got off to a poor start in arithmetic. His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic and told his parents what she thought in order that they would not expect too much of him. In this way, they too developed the idea, "Isn't it too bad that Alfred can't do arithmetic?" He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try, and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected.One day Adler succeeded in solving a problem which none of the other students had been able to solve. This gave him confidence. He rejected the idea that he couldn't do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could. His new found confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination and purpose, and he soon became extraordinarily good at arithmetic.This experience made him realize that many people have more ability than they think they have, and that lack of success is as often the result of lack of knowledge of how to apply one's ability, lack of confidence and lack of determination as it is the result of lack of ability.51. According to the passage, which statement is NOT true?A. A child may accept another person's underestimate of his ability.B. A child may think he is too young to make the most of his mental faculties.C. A person may have the idea that he is incapable of doing good work.D. Some old people don't believe that they are capable of learning anything new.52. A person who believes in his incompetence will .A. make no real effortsB. fail to go at a jobC. show a complete lack of confidenceD. all of the above53. As a boy, Alfred Adler was poor at arithmetic because .A. he lost his self-confidenceB. he was mentally retardedC. his teacher had no confidence in herselfD. his parents expected too much of him54. Which of the following is the most important factor to Adler’s success?A. Spirit and experience.B. Interest.C. Confidence and determination.D. Purpose and knowledge.55. Adler’s experience made him realize that .A. people are not as capable as they thinkB. lack of ability results in lack of determinationC. lack of knowledge leads to failureD. people can be more capable than they think机密*启用前2007年天津市高等院校“高职升本科”招生统一考试英语第Ⅱ卷(非选择题共55分)题号ⅣV Ⅵ总分得分注意事项：1．答第Ⅱ卷前，考生须将密封线内的项目填写清楚。
