Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and more respectable jobs. Personal advisor give them better advicefor finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants, but in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability.While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plainer ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be more womanly and an attractive man more manly than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the "manly" qualities required.This is true even in politics. "When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently," says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told what the photographs were of. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.39. According to the passage, attractive people are those who are ______.A. good-lookingB. humorousC. well-educatedD. capable40. The author of the passage intended to show us that people' s views on beauty are ______.A. out-of-dateB. practicalC. reasonableD. one-sided41. Which is TRUE according to the passage?A. Appearance is important in finding a good job.B. Attractiveness is of great advantage to his or her success.C. Attractiveness is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to womenwhen it comes to politics.D. Attractiveness has more effect on men than on women.42. In traditional female jobs, attractiveness ______.A. strengthens the womanly qualities requiredB. always makes it easier for women to succeed quicklyC. makes women look more honest and capableD. can be a liabilityCIf parents bring up a child with the aim of turning the child into a genius （天才）, they will cause great damage to him . According to several leading educational psychologists (心理学家), this is one of the biggest mistakes that some parents make . Generally , the child will understand very well what the parents expect , and will fail . Unrealistic (不现实的) parental expectation can cause great damage to children .However , if parents are not unrealistic about what they expect their children to do , but are hopeful in a sensible (有理智的) way , the child may succeed in doing very well-especially if the parents are very supportive of their children .Michael Li is very lucky . He is very fond of music , and his parents help him a lot by making him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him . They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons . Although Michael’s mother knows very little about music , his father plays the trumpet (小号) in a large orchestra (管弦乐队). However , his father never makes Michael enter (参加) music competition if he is unwilling .Michael’s friend , Winston Chen , however , is not lucky . Although both his parents are successful musicians , they set too high a standard (标准) for Winston . They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him in every piano competition held . They are very unhappy when he does not win . “When I was your age , I used to win every competition I entered .” Winston’s father tells him . Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seem quiet and unhappy .43．The main idea of the passage is .A．how parents should make a child a musicianB．how parents should bring up a childC．what differences there are between two kinds of parentsD．what aim of a child can be much easier to reach44．Michael is lucky because .A．his parents help him in a sensible wayB．his family is rich enough to have a carC．his father is a musician in an orchestraD．he is free to do anything that he likes best45．It’s parents’ wors t mistake if .A．they want their child to be a musicianB．they help their child to win music competitionsC．they don’t care their child’s education muchD．they make their child try to achieve too much46．According to the author’s opinion ,.A．it is unimportant to let children develop in the way they wantB．parents should be supportive of their childrenC．all sensible parents can train their children to be a successD．unrealistic parents should arrange lessons for their childrenDIn 1869 , a special waterway was completed . This new waterway connected the Mediterranean (地中海) and the Gulf of Suez , which is part of the Red Sea . This Canal which lies in a desert area in northeastern Egypt , is called the Suez Canal .The Suez Canal runs for about 173 kilometers from the port of Suez , on the Gulf of Suez , to port Said on the Mediterranean Sea . Some parts of the canal are very narrow , so two ships cannot pass there at the same time . One ship must wait in a special place or in one of the lakes until the canal is passable again .A French engineer , Ferdinand de Lessep , was the director of the construction of the Suez Canal . The works had been expected to be completed within 6 years . Because of the bad weather , illness and lack of labour power , it actually lasted 4 more years . In honour of the completion of the Suez Canal , a famous Italian musician named Giuseppe Verdi wrote a special opera (歌剧) .This opera , Aida , is one of the most famous operas ever written .The Suez Canal greatly shortens the ship distance from Asia to western Europe . But before 1956 , the canal didn’t benefit a lot the people on it , for it was under the control of an international company . There was an agreement that declared that the ships of all nations could use the Suez Canal in peacetime and wartime . However , in 1956 there was a big conftontatio (对抗) among four countries . The French , British , and Israelites (以色列人) didn’t allow the Egyptians to exercise sovereignty (主权) to the canal . Then a war broke out and the canal was closed . With the help of the United Nations , the Egyptians achieved the aim , and the Suez Canal was reopened the next year .47．The Suez Canal .A．is the largest canal in AfricaB．is one of the largest canals in AsiaC．runs through Africa for about 173 kilometersD．connects Asia and Africa48．The construction of the canal probably began in .A．1859 B．1863 C．1865D．186849．We can infer that the Suez Canal is now managed by .A．France B．Egypt C．Israel D．the U.N50．Which of the following statements is not true ?A．An international company had run the Suez Canal for nearly half a century .B．All the parts of the canal are not wide enough for two ships to pass through at the same time .C．A famous opera was specially written to celebrate the completion of the canal .D．An agreement had been made to declare that ships of all the countries could use the canal at any time .51．The Suez Canal was completed in order to .A．shorten the distance between Asia and AfricaB．conneet the Mediterrauean Sea and the Gulf of SuezC．save the time of shipping form Asia to westen EuropeD．help the Egypt to develop economicsEFrom Monday until Friday most people are busy working or studying ,but in the evenings and on weekends they are free to relax and enjoy themselves .Some watch TV or go to the movies ;others take part insports .It depends on individual interests .There are many different ways to spend our spare time .Almost everyone has some kind of hobby .It may be anything from collecting stamps to making model airplanes .Some hobbies are very expensive ,but others don’t cost anything at all .Some collections are worth a lot of money ;others are valuable only to their owners .I know a man who has a coin collection worth several thousand dollars .A short time ago he bought a rare fifty-cent piece worth $ 250 ! He was very happy about his purchase（buying）and thought the price was reasonable .On the other hand ,my youngest brother collectsmatchboxes .He has almost 600 of them but I doubt (hesitate to believe ) if they are worth any money .However ,to my brother they are extremelyvaluable .Nothing makes him happier than to find a new matchbox for his collection .That’s wha t a hobby means ,I guess .It is something we like to do in our spare time simply for the fun of it .The value in dollars is not important ,but the pleasure it gives us is .52．The word “individual”in the first paragraph most probably means .A．different B．strange C．secret D．one’s own53．According to the passage ,most people are from Monday until Friday .

Recently her parents 16 her to town to live with them. Wild and uneducated, she would use17 words when she was angry. Sometimes she went so far as to 18 on the ground, to the 19 of all people around. Her parents tried to 20 her by beating and kicking. However, she became more 21 . Finally they became thoroughly 22 with her.One day their next-door 23 , a retired teacher, gave the girl a snow-white dress, which was very 24 . It immediately caught the girl’s 25 and made them shine brightly.The girl put on the dress and became quite a 26 person. She no longer acted rudely or hit others. She 27 seldom rolled on the floor. She knew running wild was not 28 for her in a beautiful dress. Since then, the girl had been 29 , neat, and lovely.The story set me 30 a lot. Perhaps everyone has a beautiful dress 31 somewhere in his or her heart. Only some people are not aware of it, 32 it or take no notice of it. 33 is a powerful force or weapon —that’s something 34 by many of us.

He just thought he would like something but not too much to do, and the news-agency was ready-made. The business produced little enough for him, but Bill was a man who only wanted the simplicity and order and regularity of the job. He had been a long-serving sailor, and all his life had done everything by the clock.Every day he opened his shop at 6:00 a. m. to catch the early trade; the papers arrived on his doorstep before that. Many of Bill’s customers were city workers, and the shop was convenient for the station. Business was tailing off by 10 o’clock, so at eleven sharp Bill closed for lunch. It was hard luck on anybody who wanted a paper or magazine in the afternoon, for most likely Billwould be down on the river bank, fishing, and his nearest competitor was five kilometers away. Someti mes in the afternoon, the evening paper landed on the doorway, and at 4 o’clock Bill reopened his shop. The evening rush lasted till seven, and it was worthwhile.He lived in a flat above the shop, alone. Except in the very bad weather, you always knew where to find him in the afternoon, as I have said. Once, on a sunny afternoon, I walked home along the river bank from a shopping trip to the village. By my watch it was three minutes past four, so I was astonished to see Bill sitting there on his little chair with a line in the water. He had no luck, I could see, but he was making no effort to move.“What’s wrong, Bill?” I called out from the path.For answer, he put a hand in his jacket and took out a big, golden object. For a moment I had no idea what it could be, and then it suddenly went off with a noise like a fire engine. Stopping the bell, Bill held the thing up and called back, “Ten to four, you see, and this is dead right.”I had never known anyone carrying a brass alarm clock round with him before.36. Bill Javis became a news-agent when _______.A. he needed the moneyB. he was quite an old manC. he decided to take up fishingD. he gave up clock-repairing37. Bill opened the shop so early in the day because _______.A. he liked to do as much as possible before he went to workB. the shop had to be open when the morning papers cameC. he was never sure of timeD. it was then that he did a lot of business38. From the information given in the passage, who or what do you think was wrong?A. The bell was－it must have gone off at the wrong time.B. Bill was－he had dropped off to sleep.C. The writer’s watch was－it was fast.D. Bill’s clock was－it was old.BEven before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I can’t peel potatoes. I have only one hand.”Mom never looked up from sewing. “Y ou get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,”she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “we’ll see about that”look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.“Now, pull up with your right arm,”she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hold the bar with my other elbow （肘）. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung （横档）I reached. I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room. “Mom,”I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”For a long time, I didn’t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you’ll be beating those boys off with a bat.”Her voice was faint. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf. She had never letme see her tears.39. Which can be used to describe Mom’s attitude when she made the child peel potatoes?A. cruel.B. favorable.C. strict.D. sympathetic.40. From the passage, we know monkey bars can help a child train ______.A. the strength and skill to hang and swayB. the speed of one’s hand movementC. the skill to throw and catch thingsD. the bodily skill to rotate round a bar41. What does the sentence “I saw her ‘we’ll see about that’look”imply?A. Mom believed every aim could be achieved if you stuck to it.B. The race across monkey bars was not difficult enough for a child to give up.C. Mom was determined to prove she herself was better than the teacher.D. What the child had said brought Mom great attraction and curiosity.42. When the author looked down at the kids, they were standing with their mouths open because _______.A. they felt sorry for what they had done beforeB. they were afraid the author might fall off and get hurtC. they wanted to see what the author would do on the barsD. they were astonished to find the author’s progress43. The most probable conclusion we can draw after reading the passage is ______.A. the last incident was sad enough to make Mom weepB. the child’s experience reminded Mom of that of her ownC. Mom could solve any problem except the one in the last paragraphD. in fact Mom suffered more in the process of the child’s growthC“The first and best of victories for a man is to conquer himself; to be conquered by himself is, of all things, the most shameful,”says Plato. Self-control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses (冲动) and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral freedom.A single angry word has lost many friends. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. “Whoever the gods would destroy they first make them mad.”“Keep cool,”says Webster, “anger is not argument.”“Be calm in arguing,”says George Herbert, “for fierceness (狂怒) makes error a fault.”To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. “Anger,”says Pythagoras, “begins with foolishness and ends with regret.”Y ou must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him.Self-control is man’s last and greatest victory.If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confidence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking too.44. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Self- control is important for a man.B. We should learn to be strong.C. A man who keeps cool won’t lose any game.D. The great heroes in history knew how to control themselves.45. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. If you are mad, the gods will kill you.B. If you lose your temper first, gods will kill you first.C. If you can’t control yourself, you will be crazy.D. If the gods want to kill you, they will make you mad first.46. Which of the following is NOT true, according to passage?A. The first and best of victories for a man is to conquer himself.B. Y ou will make a small mistake serious if you don’t keep cool.C. Y ou must measure a man’s strength by the power of the feelings which conquer him.D. Anger begins with foolishness and ends with regret.47. Which of the following can’t help you avoid anger, according to the passage?A. Being calm in arguing.B. Checking your temper or anger by speaking low.C. Keeping your mouth shut.D. Trying to make the other angry first.DGlobal warming threatens to hold back human progress, and make unachievable all UN targets to reduce poverty, according to some of the world’s leading international development groups.In a report published today, Oxfam, Greenpeace, Christian Aid, Friends of the Earth, WWF and 15 other groups say rich governments must immediately address climate change to avoid even “unbearable levels” of worldwide poverty.“Food production, water supplies, public health and people’s living environment are already being damaged,” the report says. “The world must meet its promise to achieve poverty reduction and also deal with climate change.”The report, which draws on UN predictions of the effects of climate change in poor countries over the next 50 years, says poor countries will experience more flooding, declining food production, more disease and the worsening or disappearing of entire ecosystems on which many of the world’s poore st people depend.“Climate change needs to be addressed now. The poor will bear the burden of it. The frontline experience of many of us working in international development indicates that communities are having to fight against more extreme weather condi tions.”Climate change will play havoc (浩劫) with agriculture and water supplies and will increase diseases. “By 2025 the proportion of the world’s population living in countries of great water stress will almost double, to 6 billion people. Tropical and sub-tropical areas will be hardest hit —those countries already suffering from food shortage”.Poor countries mostly do not need high-tech solutions, but would most benefit from education, research and being shown how to farm better. The report says unchecked global warming, more than wars or political confusion, will displace millions of people and destabilize (不安定) many countries.48. Who should play a leading role in resisting the more extreme weather conditions?A. International groups.B. Rich countries.C. Poor countries.D. Tropical and sub-tropical countries.49. Which of the following is not true according to the text?A. Poverty and climate change are closely linked.B. More and more people will suffer from the water stress and food shortage.C. What the poor countries need badly is high technology.D. International communities have to take steps to resist the bad climate.50. What is the best title of the passage?A.

Overwhelmed by her virtue, Jack was desperate to find her. Fortunately, the rescue scene was wholly recorded by his camera. He posted the video online, requesting clues so that he could say thanks and sorry to her.To Jack’s joy, a net friend sent a message saying where the lady lived. With gifts, Jack headed forthe lady’s home. Answering the door, the lady was surprised but immediately got aware of what wa s going on. She gave Jack a hug, saying smilingly, “So glad to see you well, son.” “Sorry, I came for apologies. I behaved so rudely… and thanks for your help.

高二下学期英语期末考试试题(附答案)
高二下学期英语期末考试试题（附答案）一、阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，共30分）（共4题；共30分）1.阅读理解On 29 May last year, I was doing my swim training for a half Ironman race in the bay near my home.I was finishing my first loop (圈) when I felt jaws coming around my body and a sharp pain. The water was dark, so I couldn't see anything. It just came out of nowhere and then it was gone in a flash. I knew it was something really big and assumed it was a shark. I panicked, but knew I needed to get out of the water. I was kicking wildly in case it came back. There was a lifeguard boat close by, so I waved my arms in the air and screamed for help. It got to me within 20 seconds. At that point I didn't feel anything; adrenaline (肾上腺素) had taken over. The lifeguards held me under the arms and pulled me up out of the water. Then the pain kicked in and it was pretty hard to bear. Some muscle had been bitten off my right arm. I felt a lot of warm, gushing blood.My chest felt heavy, as if someone had put their foot on it, and I was having trouble breathing. It was extremely painful. When I got to the hospital, I told the nurses to put me to sleep because of the pain. I just wanted them to fix me.I woke up after surgery four hours later. My doctor was amazed when I managed to move my fingers: the bite just missed a major nerve. My right lung had been damaged; I had several broken bones and a nerve in my leg was cut, so I have reduced feeling at the top of my leg. The shark also bit through my upper back muscle.Local experts determined that the shark was probably 9-10 feet long. It was young, about seven years old. It just attacked me, left and didn't come back because it figured I wasn't food.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案，并将选定答案的字母标号填在题前括号内。

According to the report, 2021 was probably one of the 10 warmest years since 1850.The report shows temperatures in different areas of the world. The report says most of the world’s land areas had temperatures higher than normal for nine months in 2021, from January to September. Australia had a very strong heat wave. Record high temperatures were also reported in parts of North America and north Africa. The report says record-breaking rainfall and snow fell in many parts of North America. Many scientists are worried about carbon dioxide, which stays in the atmosphere for centuries. However, the report calls for reducing pollutants that do not last as long. It says methane, for example, disappears after about 12 years. Black carbon from open-fire cook stoves stays in the air for just days or weeks. These pollutants speed up warming.I’ve decided to do what I can to help prevent global warming. For example, I’ve decided to stop asking my father to drive me to school from tomorrow on. Instead, I’ll take the bus or ride a bike. I hope we can all do our best to help prevent global warming.创作人：历恰面日期：2020年1月1日创作人：历恰面日期：2020年1月1日。

Dear Jim,I’m glad to hear that you’re interested in garbage classification in Beijing……….范文Dear Jim,I’m glad to hear that you’re interested in garbage classification in Beijing. I am writing to introduce it to you.Garbage classification has lots of benefits. Not only is it beneficial to people’s living environment but also it helps us make good use of the limited natural resources.For that, Beijing has made a policy on garbage classification, which is warmly welcomed. Most families in our community buy garbage cans based on the four main categories: recyclables, kitchen waste, harmful waste and other waste, and sort them carefully before taking them outside. Besides, volunteers stand by the garbage area to help residents put the different kinds of garbage into the right cans. What’s more, to encourage more people to take part in this activity, the community give some rewards such as green plants/greenery to those who do well in garbage classification at the end of each month.I find it important and worthwhile to classify waste. As members of the global village, we should love and protect our environment. I will continue learning to make my hometown a better place. If you have any questions, please contact me.Best wishes,Yours, Li Hua2.假如你是高二1班学生李华，你的美国朋友Chris喜欢中国电影，你给他写一封回信，推荐一部中国电影。

It wasa beautiful day, I was feeling great. As I walked into the station to pay for the gas, the attendant said to me: “You don’t look well” That pletely took me by surprise, I told him I had never felt 25 （well）. Without hesitation he told me I looked terribly bad and my skin appeared yellow.When I left the service station, 26 (feel) a little uneasy, I pulled over to the side of road and look at my face in the mirror. How did I feel? Was everything all right? Had I picked up 27 rare disease? Had I picked up hepatitis（肝炎）?The next time I drove into the service station, I figured out what 28 (happen). The place had recently been painted a bright yellow, the light 29 (reflect) off the walls made someone inside look as though they had hepatitis.I wondered how many folks had reacted the way I did. I had let one short conversation with a total stranger 30 (change) my attitude for an entire day. He told me I looked sick, and before long, I was actually feeling sick. That single negative observation had a profound effect 31 the way I felt and acted.A little while later I saw how funny the incident was. I wonder how many other people that the man had told were ill 32 he realized that the service station had a paint job.（B）My daughter and I were flying to spend a week with my husband in Florida. The plane was totally full. I had noticed some Boy Scouts (童子军) at the gate and promised to my daughter that if 33 happened, we would be OK with all those Scouts on our flight!Unfortunately, our seats were separated by the aisle（走道）. Kallie was nervous about the trip and had counted on my reading to her the whole way. 34 (try) to read across the aisle would be a challenge.When the two passengers who shared my row boarded the plane, I asked if they __35__ switch places with Kallie and me. They refused. Meanwhile, a mother and her three children were panicking several rows ahead of us. There had been a mistake with their boarding passes, and the whole family 36 (split) up. The passengers in her row also refused to move. The mother was concerned about the younger boy sitting with strangers.Suddenly the Scout leader stood up and said, “Ma’am, we can help you.” He then spent five minutes rearranging his group. The mother’s relief was obvious.Kallie, however, was still upset. I told her that there wasn’t anything 37 I could do; we would have to sit 38 we were. Gradually, the man sitting next to the Scoutmaster (not a Scout himself) turned around and as ked, “Would you and your daughter like our seats?” We traded seats and continued our trip, very much 39 (relieve) to be together.Would that man have offered us his seat if the Scouts hadn’t done so for the mom and her children? I don’t know. But the belief lives on in my mind 40kindness is contagious （蔓延）!III. Vocabulary （10分）Directions: plete the following passage by using the words in the box.

I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day’s events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn’t accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows.I automatically took out my pen…At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful. I’m no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won’t have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I’ll forget certa in facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don’t live to make memories—I just live, and the memories form themselves.66. Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of ______.A. observing her school routineB. expressing her satisfactionC. impressing her classmatesD. preserving her history67. What caused a change in the author’s understanding of keeping a diary?A. A dull night on the journey.B. The beauty of the great valley.C. A striking quotation from a book.D. Her concerns for future generations.68. What does the author put in her diary now?A. Notes and beautiful pictures.B. Special thoughts and feelings.C. Detailed accounts of daily activities.D. Descriptions of unforgettable events.69. The author es to realize that to live a meaningful life is ______.A. to experience itB. to live the present in the futureC. to make memoriesD. to give accurate representations of it（B）Do you realize that every time you take a step, the bones in your hip are subjected to forces between four and five times your body weight? When you are running, this force is increased further still. What happens if through disease a hip-joint ceases to be able to resist such forces? For many years hip-joints and other body joints have been replaceable either partially or pletely. It is after all a simple ball and socket joint; it has certain loads imposed on it; it needs reliability over a defined life; it must contain materials suitable for the working environment. Any engineer will recognize these as characteristic of a typical engineering problem, which doctors and engineers have worked together to solve, in order to bring a fresh lease of life to people who would otherwise be disabled.This typifies the way in which engineers work to help people and create abetter quality of life. The fact that this country has the most efficient agricultural industry in the world is another good example. Mechanical engineers have worked with farmers and biologists to produce fertilizers, machinery and harvesting systems. This team effort has now produced crops uniformly waist high or less so that they are better suited to mechanical harvesting. Similar advances with other crops have released people from hard and boring jobs for more creative work, whilst machines harvest crops more efficiently with less waste. Providing more food for the rapidly increasing population is yet another role for the mechanical engineer.70. According to the passage, when would most weight be imposed on hip-joints?A. When one is walking.B. When one is running.C. When one is standing.D. When one is lying down.71. Engineers regard the replacement of hip-joints as a(n) ____ Problem.A. mechanicalB. medicalC. healthD. agricultural72. According to the passage, how do engineers contribute to increasingefficiency of the agricultural industry?A. By working with farmers.B. By working in teams.C. By growing crops of the same height.D. By making agriculturalmachinery.73. According to the context, "This team effort'" in Paragraph Two refersto__________.A. mechanical engineers.B. doctors and engineers.C. biologists, doctors and farmers.D. farmers, biologists and engineers（C）Rules for the University Entrance Examination•You must be at the examination center ten minutes before the examination starts.

Our nose helps us to know more about the world.The sense of smell starts with the nose, but it includes other parts of the head and the brain. Let us use the example of the burning match to understand how this sense works.When the match starts to burn, tiny little pieces of ash that e from the match float through the air. These small pieces of material are too small for us to see, but the nose is sensitive to them and can smell them as they travel through the air into our nose. When the small pieces of ash reach the olfactory nerve （嗅觉神经）, which is like an electrical wire on a telephone, the olfactory nerve carries the message to the brain, telling it that we are smelling a burning match. We don’t always smell a smell right away, because it takes time for the small pieces to travel in the air and then into our nose to the olfactory nerve.Human beings have a very weak sense of smell. As people evolved and began to use reason more, they didn’t need to smell things quite as well as other animals did. They could use their eyes and their brains in a different way. Thereis one way our sense of smell is different from other senses. After sensing a particular smell for a long time, our sense of smell gets tired. When we first e into the house, we can smell dinner cooking, but after that, our olfactory nerves get tired and then we don’t smell anything at all. When we have a cold, our nose is all stuffed up, and we cannot smell certain things, like perfume or food.(Note: Answer the questions or plete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. The sense of smell is not only related to the nose, but also has a connection with__________________________________________________________________________.79.
