Could your weekend lie﹣in（睡懒觉） kill you? " asked the Daily mail． It is said in a study that sleeping more at weekends can increase the risk of heart disease． Since most of us change our sleep schedule depending on whether it’s a work or non﹣work day, it’s an interesting question． Is the lie﹣in really so dangerous? Researchers say that changing sleep patterns causes social jet lag． Is that even a thing?Changing our sleeping hours causes the effect of crossing a time zone﹣it makes us sleepy during the day． People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during the study and more suited to going to bed and waking late because of the change of their biological clock． They were more at risk of these changes than earlier sleepers and risers． The study also shows an association between switching sleep patterns and changes in some blood results．It does not show that anyone’s developing heart disease was because they had lie﹣ins．Jim Horne, one of the professors of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University, says the concept of social jet lag is likely to feed our anxiety about sleep, so we should really stop worrying so much and have a limited weekend lie﹣in． Worry is bad for sleep and we naturally compensate for not getting enough rest in the week by lying﹣in at weekends, so we shouldn’t stop ________． However, we should limit the time．Studies show that if you accumulate a five﹣hour sleep debt during the week, then you only need one and a half hours of extra sleep on your days off to make up for it． It wouldbe a shame to be scared of a lie﹣in． Studies of sleep and risk factors for heart disease can struggle to tell between poor sleep causing stress and stress disrupting sleep． Work stress can cause both a rise in blood pressure and changes in sleep patterns． Sleep is the test for the state of one’s health,and the most important thing that happens when you don’t get enough of it is that you feel sleepy．（1）What’s the probable effect of changing our sleep patterns？________A.Becoming unhealthy．B.Losing weight quickly．C.Easily adapting to time zones．D.Becoming early sleepers and risers．（2）What is Jim Horne’s attitude towards the weekend lie﹣in？________A.Negative．B.Doubtful．C.Unconcerned．D.Supportive．（3）What does the underlined phrase “doing it” in Paragraph 3 refer to？________A.Lying﹣in．B.Worrying．C.Sleeping early．pensating for the limit．（4）What can we infer from the text？________A.The sleep debt must be paid off completely．B.The weekend lie﹣in is a bad habit for all people．C.The more hours one sleeps， the healthier he will be．D.Poor sleep may result from and cause stress in turn．【答案】ADAD【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了一项研究表明，周末多睡会增加患心脏病的风险．【解答】（1）A．细节理解题．根据文章People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during the study and more suited to going to bed and waking late because of the change of their biological clock可知改变我们的睡眠模式可能变得不健康；故选A．（2）D．态度判断题．根据文章Jim Horne， one of the professors of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University， says the concept of social jet lag is likely to feed our anxiety about sleep， so we should really stop worrying so much and have a limited weekend lie﹣in可知吉姆•霍恩对周末卧床的态度是支持的；故选D．（3）A．词义猜测题．根据文章Worry is bad for sleep and we naturally compensate for not getting enough rest in the week by lying﹣in at weekends，so we shouldn’t stop doingit可知担心对睡眠有害，我们自然会通过周末躺在床上来弥补一周没有得到足够的休息，所以我们不应该停止这样做；意为多睡；故选A．（4）D．推理判断题．根据文章Studies of sleep and risk factors for heart disease can struggle to tell between poor sleep causing stress and stress disrupting sleep可知从课文中可以推断出睡眠不足可能是由压力引起的；故选D．第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．Over the course of my life， I come to realize we will have unpleasant feelings from time to time． Our loved ones will pass away， our friends and families will disappoint us， and the challenges of life will make us angry and frustrated．（1）_______ I have experienced a lot and find out some effective ways to help express our feelings．（2）_______ When expressing strong feelings， many people intend to start talking over the other person instead of listening to what he or she is saying． If you do so，you won’t have the possibility of clearing up any misunderstandings．Exercise to help deal with depression． Despite the commonly held belief that people needto let off their anger to help reduce its damaging effects， research indicates that this method is not helpful and can actually increase anger． However， exercise is very effective at relieving symptoms of sadness and anxiety．（3）_______Allow yourself to cry． Crying is viewed as a sign of weakness in some cultures．（4）_______Many people end up feeling better after crying， especially if they are in a secure environment around loved ones．Try

AThe country is India. A large dinner party is being given in an up-country station by acolonial official and his wife. The guests are army and government officers and their wives, and anAmerican naturalist.At one side of the long table, a spirited discussion springs up between a young girl and an armyofficer. The girl insists women have long outgrown thejumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouseera, and that they are not as anxious as their grandmothers were. The officer says they are,arguing women haven't the actual nerve control of men.“A woman's reaction in any crisis," the officer says,“is to scream. And while a man mayfeel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has."The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of theother guests. As he stares, he sees a slight, though strange look of anxiety come over the face of thehostess. With a small gesture she summons the servant standing behind her chair. She whispers tohim. The servant's eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. No one else sees this, nor theservant when he puts a bowl of milk on the balcony outside the glass doors.The American understands. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing. It is bait fora snake. He realizes there is a cobra in the room. The American's eyes move across the roombut he sees nothing. He realizes the snake can only be in one place - under the table.His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows any sudden movementwill frighten the cobra and it will strike. He speaks quickly, the quality of his voice so arrestingthat it quietens everyone.“I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will countthree hundred - that's five minutes - and not one of you is to move a single muscle. Now! Ready!"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying ..o.. hundred and eighty.."when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the snake emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Four orfive screams ring out as he jumps to slam shut the balcony doors.“There is your proof!" the host says.“A man has just shown us real control."“Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess,“How did you know that cobrawas in the room?"A faint smile comes across the woman's face as she repli es. “Because it was lying across myfoot.""21.What is the argument between the army officer and the young girl about?A. Whether women are afraid of mice.B. Whether men are calmer than women.C. Whether men are cleverer than women.D. Whether women would make suitable soldiers.22.

This led him to theorise that first-born children enjoyed aspecial level of attention from their parents that allowed them to advance intellctually. Half acentury later Alfred Adler, an Austrian psychologist, made a similar argument relating to personality.First-born children, he suggested, were more diligent, while the later-born were more outgoing andemotionally stable. Many subsequent studies have explored these ideas, but their findings have beenvaried - some supporting and some rejecting the original conclusions.The main problem with the previous studies is that they were too small - often limited to afew dozen individuals. This would be true even if the statistical methods needed to analyse the datawere simple, but they are not. Distinguishing birth-order effects from those caused by family sizecomplicates matters, meaning still bigger samples must be analysed to obtain meaningful results.To overcome the limitation of these earlier studies, German social scientist Dr. HelmetSchmukle and his colleagues analysed three huge sets of data from America, Britain and Germany.These data sets, though collected for other purposes, included personality and intelligence tests on20, 186 people at different stages of their lives. The American tests were on individuals aged between29 and 35. The British tests were conducted on 50-year-olds. The German tests ran the whole span ofadult life, from 18 to 98.Birth order, they found, had no effect on personality: first-borns were no more, nor less,likely than their younger siblings to be hardworking, outgoing or anxious. But it did affectintelligence. In a family with two children, the first child was more intelligent than the second60% of the time, rather than the 50% that would be expected by chance. On average, thistranslated to a difference of 1.5 IQ points between first and second siblings. That figure agreeswith previous studies, and thus looks confirmed.It is, nevertheless, quite a small difference - and whether it is enough to account for Galton'soriginal observation is unclear. In any event, it is certainly not deterministic. Galton was theyoungest of nine.28. Alfred Adler concluded that first-born children were.A. more stableB. more sociableC. more intelligentD. more hardworking29. What does the underlined“they" in paragraph 2 refer to?A. The data.B. The analyses.C. The previous studies.D. The statistical methods.30. Why was Schmukle's study considered superior to previous research?A. It involved a wider age range.B. It had a much larger sample size.C. It included a larger number of countries.D. It was conducted over a longer period of time.31. Why does the author mention Galton's family background in the last paragraph?A. To confirm Galton's difficult upbringing.B. To suggest Galton's theory may not be correct.C. To compare his experience with Galton's parents.D. To explain why Galton was interested in birth order.DPhotography has opened our eyes to a multitude of beauties, things we literally could nothave seen before the invention of the frozen image. It has greatly expanded our notion of whatis beautiful, what is aesthetically(审美上) pleasing. Items formerly considered trivial, and notworth an artist's paint, have been revealed and honored by the photograph: things as ordinary as afence post, a chair, a vegetable. And as technology has developed, photographers have exploredcompletely new points of view: those of the microscope, the eagle, the cosmos.What is it that delights the human eye and allows us to claim that a photograph is beautiful?Photography depends on the trinity of light, composition, and moment. Light literally makes therecording of an image possible, but in the right hands, light in a photograph can make the image soar. The same is true with composition. What the photographer chooses to keep in or out of theframe is all that we will ever see - but that combination is vital. And the moment that the shutter ispressed, when an instant is frozen in time, provides the whole image with meaning. When thethree - light, composition, and moment - are in balance, there is visual magic.Light, composition, and moment come together in a photograph to bring us the ultimatereality: a view of the world unknown prior to the invention of the camera. Before photography, thebasic artistic rules of painting were rarely broken. Images were made to please, not to capturereality. But as photography evolved, painterly rules were often reacted in the pursuit of fresh vision.Photographers became interested in the real world, good and bad, and it was the accidental detail thatwas celebrated. Photography invited the world to see with new eyes - to see photographically - andall of the arts have drawn new inspiration from this change.With these basic aesthetic tools, photographers have evolved from scientists longing to“fix"an image - any image - to artistic revolutionaries. Photographs have created a new way of seeing,changed our ideas of beauty and, most importantly, made art more democratic. They have given usvisual proof that the world is grander than we imagined, and that there is beauty, often overlooked,in nearly everything.32. Before the invention of photography, which of the following was least likely to appear in an artistic work?A. A great person.B. A lovely insect.C. A grand building.D. A beautiful landscape.33. What is the function of paragraph 2?A. To argue that photographic beauty is subjective.B. To explain the evolution of the concept of beauty.C. To describe the elements that make a successful photo.D. To illustrate different types of photographic techniques.34. How has photography affected other art forms?A. It has reduced their popularity.B. It has forced them to change their rules.C. It has changed their methods of composition.D. It has provided them with new points of view.35. What does the author mean by saying photography has“made art more demo cratic" ?A. It has expanded the concept of artistic beauty.B. It has challenged the status of traditional art forms.C. It has enabled the development of new artistic tools.D. It has allowed more people to take part in creative activities.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

We have been volunteering at the shelter ever since. I was recently feeling the push to serve more, so I scheduled a Saturday visit.My daughter had social invitations, but she also felt the push to visit the shelter, so she planned to go there with her friends and me, later in the day instead. Wepiled up old blankets, sheets and pillows to take along and donate. On arriving and touring, we met 500 dogs and 200 cats being cared for at this shelter. After the tour we served meals to the puppies in the sick or injured puppy room. We held and comforted those who would clearly survive their injuries and several who were so sick that the volunteer vet on hand said they had a 50% chance of being alive next week. Then we fed two sick and abandoned young kittens.While feeding the animals I watched the workers who were cleaning out some of the dog houses with healthy dogs who would be returned to the streets. I was touched most by how often they stopped in their duty to pet and play with these dogs. They did it with such love. While some workers and volunteers were paid, others were paid nothing to support these animals.My daughter and I stayed for 4-5 hours, beyond the time she had scheduled to meet friends for lunch. She chose to cancel her social date and spend more time with these animals despite the tough conditions. Tired and dirty, we felt blessed to share some time with people who care deeply for relieving the suffering of so many vulnerable beings. And then we went back. May all the sick and injured animals be relieved of their suffering.24.Why did the author plan a Saturday visit to the shelter?A.To apply to be a real social volunteer.B.To build up homes for homeless dogs.C.To do more work for homeless animals.D.To attend her daughter s gatherings with friends.25.According to the second paragraph, .A.not all of the hurt animals in the shelter could keep aliveB.the author s daughter finally accepted social invitationsC.the author merely fed sick dogs with his daughter and friendsD.most hurt animals in the shelter have a 50% chance of being alive26.What moved the author most while volunteering?A.The animals led a happy life in the shelter.B.The workers showed deep love to the animals.C.The workers were paid nothing to do their work.D.Many healthy animals would come back to the streets.27.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The schedule of the author s daughter.B.The author s wish to return to care animals.C.The reasons for the author s daughter missing her social date.D.The feelings of the father and daughter as volunteers in the shelter.CA survey of university backgrounds of heads of major global companies found that Harvard in the United States was the most likely place to have studied in.The Times Higher Education magazine ranked the universities attended by chief executive officers (CEO) of Fortune Global 500 companies. There are four US universities in the top 10, with three from France, two from Japan and one from South Korea. The highest ranked UK university is Oxford in 21st place.This league table, described as the Alma Mater Index, shows which universities around the world taught the bosses of some of the world s biggest companies. One in 20 had a degree from a single institution, Harvard. This included Margaret C. Whitman of Hewlett-Packard, Jeffrey R. Immelt of General Electric and Vittorio Colao of Vodafone.But the top 10 for producing business leaders does not contain all the usual names that appear at the top of university rankings. Oxford and Cambridge are absent, but the University of Pennsylvania in the US and Keio University in Japan are included, along with three French universities, headed by the Ecole Polytechnique.Across the top 100, universities from the US dominate, followed by universities in China, Japan, France and Germany. There are more CEOs who went to university in Asia than in Europe. In terms of national comparisons, UK universities produced the sixth highest number of global chief executives, with Oxford in 21st place and Cambridge in 45th place.But even though Harvard might have taught the biggest number of bosses from the top 500 companies, it was not attended by any of the heads of the biggest 10 companies, who were from a more diverse range of universities.Royal Dutch Shell is headed by a graduate of Zurich University of Applied Sciences; Walmart is headed by a student of Georgia Tech and Exxon Mobil has a chief executive from the University of Texas, Austin. Three of the leaders of these biggest companies went to university in China and the head of Volkswagen went to university in Stuttgart.28.How many Asian universities are among the world s top 10 universities for global CEOs?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.29.What does the underlined word “dominate” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A.Decrease.B.Accelerate.C.Take the lead.D.Make great progress.30.What can we learn about the UK universities?A.Cambridge University ranks highest among them.B.None of them are among the top 10 list of the survey.C.They performed better than French universities on the list.D.They produced the second most number of global CEOs.31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.The Rankings of the Famous Universities in the WorldB.Which Is Described as the Best University in the World?C.Students Are Currently Entering Various Top-class UniversitiesD.Which University Tops the League Table of Where Bosses Studied?D“Could your weekend lie-in (睡懒觉) kill you?” asked the Daily Mail. It is said in a study that sleeping more at weekends can increase the risk of heart disease. Since most of us change our sleep schedule depending on whether it s a work or non-work day, it s an interesting question. Is the lie-in really so dangerous? Researchers say that changing sleep patterns causes social jet lag. Is that even a thing?Changing our sleeping hours causes the effect of crossing a time zone—it makes us sleepy during the day. People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during the study and more suited to going to bed and waking late because of the change of their biological clock. They were more at risk of these changes than earlier sleepers and risers. The study also shows an association between switching sleep patterns and changes in some blood results. It does not show that anyone s developing heart disease was because they had lie-ins.Jim Horne, one of the professors of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University, says the concept of social jet lag is likely to feed our anxiety about sleep, so we should really stop worrying so much and have a limited weekend lie-in. Worry is bad for sleep and we naturally compensate for not getting enough rest in the week by lying-in at weekends, so we shouldn t stop doing it. However, we should limit the time.Studies show that if you accumulate a five-hour sleep debt during the week, then you only need one and a half hours of extra sleep on your days off to make up for it. It would be a shame to be scared of a lie-in. Studies of sleep and risk factors for heart disease can struggle to tell between poor sleep causing stress and stress disrupting sleep. Work stress can cause both a rise in blood pressure and changes in sleep patterns. Sleep is the test for the state of one s health, and the most important thing that happens when you don t get enough of it is that you feel sleepy.32.What s the probable effect of changing our sleep patterns?A.Becoming unhealthy.B.Losing weight quickly.C.Easily adapting to time zones.D.Becoming early sleepers and risers.33.What is Jim Horne s attitude towards the weekend lie-in?A.Negative.B.Doubtful.C.Unconcerned.D.Supportive.34.What does the underlined phrase “doing it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Lying-in.B.Worrying.C.Sleeping early.pensating for the limit.35.What can we infer from the text?A.The sleep debt must be paid off completely.B.The weekend lie-in is a bad habit for all people.C.The more hours one sleeps, the healthier he will be.D.Poor sleep may result from and cause stress in turn.第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10 分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Without saying a word, as if they both understood that this was a secret they didn’t want to share with anyone, they slipped into the alley, where no one could see them loo inside "There's got to be a million dollars here! "Charlie blurted out, when they saw the pile of hundred- dollar bills. Amy, the more realistic of the two, did a quic estimate, thumbing through the wad of cash. "More lie thousands” she said, her voice shaing in disbelief.They'd found the wallet in a flowerbed by the sidewal, when Charlie dropped his cell phone while he was trying to tal and eat a slice of pepperoni pia at the same time. Amy stuffed the wallet into her bacpac and pulled Charlie along by his elbow toward her house. As they rushed toward Viceroy Avenue, they taled ecitedly about what they could do with themoney-buy gifts for parents and friends, get new clothes, travel to the rainforest in Costa Rica, and adopt a whale. It looed lie all of their dreams would come true. For the last bloc, however, they didn’t tal. Each began to suspect that the other one was silently adding to the list of things they could buy.They finally reached Amy s house, but instead of going inside, they waled around the house to the bac porch. They opened the wallet and counted the money into piles of ten. The total wasS2400- more money than either of them had ever seen. Then they both started taling at once. "I wonder who lost it "Their moods shifted, sining from the high of being rich for fifteen minutes to resigning themselves to what they must do net. For in the wallet's clear plastic compartment, there was a driver's license. They new what they had to do. Although they would lose their newly-found treasure, in a way, they felt relieved.24. Where did Amy and Charlie find the wallet?A. In an alley B In a bacpacC. Among some flowers D On the sidewal25. In paragraph 2, why was Amy’s voice shaing?A. She was afraid that they would be seen by othersB. She was disappointed there wasn't a million dollarsC. She was fearful that Charlie would tell someone elseD. She felt nervous because she'd never seen so much money26. On their way to Amy’s house, the children's mood changed fromA ecited to suspiciousB. happy to angryC relieved to worriedD. nervous to disappointed27. What did the children decide to do at the end of the story?A. To eep the money a secret from othersB. To return the wallet to its rightful ownerC. To put the wallet bac where they found it.D. To buy many different things with the money.CAn article published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature sheds new light on an important, but up-to-now little appreciated, aspect of human evolution. In this article Professors Dennis Bramble and Daniel Lieberman suggest that being able to run was the necessary condition for the development of our species which enabled us to come down from the trees. This challenges traditional scientific thining, which claims that the distinctive,upright body form of modern humans has come about as a result of the ability to wal, and that running is simply a by-product of waling. Furthermore, humans have usually been regarded as poor runners compared to such animals as dogs, horses or deer. However, this is only true if we consider running at high speed, especially over short distances. But when it comes tolong-distance running, humans do astonishingly well. They can eep a steady pace for many ilometres, and their overall speed is at least the same as that of horses or dogs Bramble and Lieberman eamined 26 physical features found in humans. One of the most interesting of these is the nuchal ligament(项韧带). When we run, this ligament prevents our head from moving bac and forth or from side to side. Therefore, we are able to run with steady heads, held high. The nuchal ligament is not found in any other surviving primates, such as apes and moneys. Then there are our Achilles tendons (跟腱) at the bacs of our legs, which connect our calf muscles to our heel bones — and which have nothing to do with waling. When we run, these tendons behave lie springs, helping to push us forward. Furthermore, we have low, wide shoulders virtually disconnected from our sulls(颅骨), a physical development which allows us to run more efficiently.But what evolutionary advantage is gained from being good long-distance runners? Perhaps it permitted early humans to obtain food more effectively. "What these features and facts appear to be telling us is that running evolved in order for our direct ancestors to compete with other meat-eating animals for access to the protein needed to grow the big brains that we enjoy today," says Lieberman. Some scientists put forward the theory that early humans chased animals for great distances in order to ehaust them before illing them."Research on the history of humans' ability to move has traditionally been controversial, " says Lieberman. "At the very least, I believe this theory will motivate many researchers to reevaluate and further investigate how humans learned to run and wal and why we are built the way we are. "28. In paragraph 1, what do the two professors suggest about humans' ability to run?A. It is an evolutionary by-product of waling.B. It helps to form people's ability to climb trees.C. It has played an important role in human evolution.D. It has not been adequately studied by scientists before.29. What is true about the physical characteristics eamined by the professors?A. Achilles tendons assist people to wal long distances.B. The human sull helps people to run more efficiently.C. people's shoulders allow them to loo from side to side.D. The nuchal ligament enables people to hold their head steady.30. According to paragraph 3, scientists believe that early humans_________.A. always came across dangerous situations in lifeB. ran after animals for long distances when huntingC often failed to find food because they couldn't run fastD developed their hunting sills by running long distances31. Professor Lieberman thins the new theory will _________.A completely eplain how running developedB revolutionie the theory of human evolutionC. encourage more in-depth studies on the topicD. be widely supported within the scientific communityDScientists have solved the mystery of why theoverwhelming majority of mammoth fossils(化石)are male.Much lie wild elephants today, young male Ice Agemammoths probably travelled around alone and more oftengot themselves into risy situations where they were sweptinto rivers, or fell through ice or into mud, laes or sinholesthat preserved their bones for thousands of years, scientists say.Females, on the other hand, travelled in groups led by an older matriarch who new the landscape and directed her group away from danger."Without the benefit of living in a herd led by an eperienced female, male mammoths had a much higher ris of dying in natural traps such as mud holes, roc cracs and laes, "said co-author Love Dalen of the Swedish Museum of Natural History in a report published on Thursday in the journal Current Biology.The study used genetic data to determine the se of 98 woolly mammoth fossils in Siberia Researchers found that 69% of the samples were male, a heavily unbalanced se ratio, assuming that the sees were fairly even at birth"We were very surprised because there was no reason to epect a se bias in the fossil record," said first author Patricia Pecnerova, also of the Swedish Museum of Natural History.Therefore, researchers believe that something about the way they lived influenced the way they died.Most bones, tuss, and teeth from mammoths and other Ice Age animals haven't survived," eplained Dalen"It is highly liely that the remains that are found in Siberia these days have been preserved because they have been buried, and thus protected from weathering."These giant, tused plant eaters disappeared about 4,000 years ago. While there is no scientific agreement about the causes of their disappearance from the planet, most believe that climate change, ecessive hunting by humans and the spread of other animals into mammoth feeding grounds were influential factors.32. The underlined word "matriarch" in paragraph 3 means _______.A. figure headB. female leaderC eperienced animal D. mature mammoth33. Why do the majority of mammoth fossils come from male animals?A. Scientists find it easier to study male fossilised bones.B. There were more male mammoths in comparison to femalesC Male mammoths were better able to adapt to the changing circumstances.D. Male mammoths more frequently died in places where fossils could form.34. Which of the following is suggested as a reason for mammoths dying out?A. The increasing competition for food.B. The cooling of the earth's temperature.C. The disappearance of male mammoths.D The risy behaviour of younger mammoths.35. What is the tet type of the passage?A. A newspaper article.B. An academic essay.C. A historical description.D. A science fiction story.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AThe country is India. A large dinner party is being given in an up-country station by acolonial official and his wife. The guests are army and government officers and their wives, and anAmerican naturalist.At one side of the long table, a spirited discussion springs up between a young girl and an armyofficer. The girl insists women have long outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouseera, and that they are not as anxious as their grandmothers were. The officer says they are,arguing women haven't the actual nerve control of men.“A woman's reaction in any crisis," the officer says,“is to scream. And while a man mayfeel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has."The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of theother guests. As he stares, he sees a slight, though strange look of anxiety come over the face of thehostess. With a small gesture she summons the servant standing behind her chair. She whispers tohim. The servant's eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. No one else sees this, nor theservant when he puts a bowl of milk on the balcony outside the glass doors.The American understands. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing. It is bait fora snake. He realizes there is a cobra in the room. The American's eyes move across the roombut he sees nothing. He realizes the snake can only be in one place - under the table.His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows any sudden movementwill frighten the cobra and it will strike. He speaks quickly, the quality of his voice so arrestingthat it quietens everyone.“I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will countthree hundred - that's five minutes - and not one of you is to move a single muscle. Now! Ready!"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying ..o.. hundred andeighty.."when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the snake emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Four orfive screams ring out as he jumps to slam shut the balcony doors.“There is your proof!" the host says.“A man has just shown us real control."“Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess,“How did you know that cobrawas in the room?"A faint smile comes across the woman's face as she repli es. “Because it was lying across myfoot.""21.What is the argument between the army officer and the young girl about?A. Whether women are afraid of mice.B. Whether men are calmer than women.C. Whether men are cleverer than women.D. Whether women would make suitable soldiers.22. Why is the servant asked to put out some milk?A. To play a trick.B. To serve the guests.C. To attract the snake .D. To feed the hostess's pet.23. Why does the scientist suggest the guests play a game?A. He doesn't want anyone to panic.B. He intends to test the officer's theory.C. He sees there was a snake in the room.D. He wants to entertain the other guests.24. What does the author imply through the hostess's final statement?A. The army officer's opinion is wrong.B. The hostess understood the American's intention.C. The American was surprised by the snake's presence.D. The hostess has had previous experience dealing with snakes.B25. What caused musicals to move in a new direction during the 1930's?A. The development of new musical instruments.B. The audience s demand for more realistic art forms.C. The rising popularity of other types of entertainment.D. The greater acceptance of black performers by white audiences.26. In which period did musical theatre become more complex and dramatic?A. Pre - 1900.B. 1900- 1929.C.1940- 1949.D.1950- 1959.27. What can be reasonably inferred about the musical West Side Story?A. It told its story in a new way.B. It was based on a true story.C. It was a non-Broadway show.D. It was not very successful at first.CIn 1874 Francis Galton, a British professor, analysed a sample of English scientists and foundthe vast majority to be first-born sons. This led him to theorise that first-born children enjoyed aspecial level of attention from their parents that allowed them to advance intellctually. Half acentury later Alfred Adler, an Austrian psychologist, made a similar argument relating to personality.First-born children, he suggested, were more diligent, while the later-born were more outgoing andemotionally stable. Many subsequent studies have explored these ideas, but their findings have beenvaried - some supporting and some rejecting the original conclusions.The main problem with the previous studies is that they were too small - often limited to afew dozen individuals. This would be true even if the statistical methods needed to analyse the datawere simple, but they are not. Distinguishing birth-order effects from those caused by family sizecomplicates matters, meaning still bigger samples must be analysed to obtain meaningful results.To overcome the limitation of these earlier studies, German social scientist Dr. HelmetSchmukle and his colleagues analysed three huge sets of data from America, Britain and Germany.These data sets, though collected for other purposes, included personality and intelligence tests on20, 186 people at different stages of their lives. The American tests were on individuals aged between29 and 35. The British tests were conducted on 50-year-olds. The German tests ran the whole span ofadult life, from 18 to 98.Birth order, they found, had no effect on personality: first-borns were no more, nor less,likely than their younger siblings to be hardworking, outgoing or anxious. But it did affectintelligence. In a family with two children, the first child was more intelligent than the second60% of the time, rather than the 50% that would be expected by chance. On average, thistranslated to a difference of 1.5 IQ points between first and second siblings. That figure agreeswith previous studies, and thus looks confirmed.It is, nevertheless, quite a small difference - and whether it is enough to account for Galton'soriginal observation is unclear. In any event, it is certainly not deterministic. Galton was theyoungest of nine.28. Alfred Adler concluded that first-born children were.A. more stableB. more sociableC. more intelligentD. more hardworking29. What does the underlined“they" in paragraph 2 refer to?A. The data.B. The analyses.C. The previous studies.D. The statistical methods.30. Why was Schmukle's study considered superior to previous research?A. It involved a wider age range.B. It had a much larger sample size.C. It included a larger number of countries.D. It was conducted over a longer period of time.31. Why does the author mention Galton's family background in the last paragraph?A. To confirm Galton's difficult upbringing.B. To suggest Galton's theory may not be correct.C. To compare his experience with Galton's parents.D. To explain why Galton was interested in birth order.DPhotography has opened our eyes to a multitude of beauties, things we literally could nothave seen before the invention of the frozen image. It has greatly expanded our notion of whatis beautiful, what is aesthetically(审美上) pleasing. Items formerly considered trivial, and notworth an artist's paint, have been revealed and honored by the photograph: things as ordinary as afence post, a chair, a vegetable. And as technology has developed, photographers have exploredcompletely new points of view: those of the microscope, the eagle, the cosmos.What is it that delights the human eye and allows us to claim that a photograph is beautiful?Photography depends on the trinity of light, composition, and moment. Light literally makes therecording of an image possible, but in the right hands, light in a photograph can make the image soar. The same is true with composition. What the photographer chooses to keep in or out of theframe is all that we will ever see - but that combination is vital. And the moment that the shutter ispressed, when an instant is frozen in time, provides the whole image with meaning. When thethree - light, composition, and moment - are in balance, there is visual magic.Light, composition, and moment come together in a photograph to bring us the ultimatereality: a view of the world unknown prior to the invention of the camera. Before photography, thebasic artistic rules of painting were rarely broken. Images were made to please, not to capturereality. But as photography evolved, painterly rules were often reacted in the pursuit of fresh vision.Photographers became interested in the real world, good and bad, and it was the accidental detail thatwas celebrated. Photography invited the world to see with new eyes - to see photographically - andall of the arts have drawn new inspiration from this change.With these basic aesthetic tools, photographers have evolved from scientists longing to“fix"an image - any image - to artistic revolutionaries. Photographs have created a new way of seeing,changed our ideas of beauty and, most importantly, made art more democratic. They have given usvisual proof that the world is grander than we imagined, and that there is beauty, often overlooked, in nearly everything.32. Before the invention of photography, which of the following was least likely to appear in an artistic work?A. A great person.B. A lovely insect.C. A grand building.D. A beautiful landscape.33. What is the function of paragraph 2?A. To argue that photographic beauty is subjective.B. To explain the evolution of the concept of beauty.C. To describe the elements that make a successful photo.D. To illustrate different types of photographic techniques.34. How has photography affected other art forms?A. It has reduced their popularity.B. It has forced them to change their rules.C. It has changed their methods of composition.D. It has provided them with new points of view.35. What does the author mean by saying photography has“made art more demo cratic" ?A. It has expanded the concept of artistic beauty.B. It has challenged the status of traditional art forms.C. It has enabled the development of new artistic tools.D. It has allowed more people to take part in creative activities.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
