General(A)According to popular folk tales, many animals are smarter than they appear．Dogs bark before earthquakes; cattle predict rainfall by sitting on the ground．But cattle may have another hidden talent of being able to tell which direction is north．Small animals including birds are known to use the Earth's magnetic fields in migration, like a natural GPS(Global Position System)．Dr．Begall and her colleagues wanted to know whether larger animals also have this magnetic sense．They investigated this possibility by studying images of 8,510 grazing(吃草)and resting cattle in 308 plains across the globe on Google Earth, a website that puts together satellite photographs to produce an image of the Earth's surface．Grazing animals are known to orient themselves in a way that minimizes wind cold from the north and maximizes the warmth of the sun when they are cold．The study ruled out the possibility that the sun position or wind direction were major influences on the orientation of the cattle．Theresearchers therefore had to study a lot of cows grazing in lots of different places at different times of day, in order to average out these factors and see whether cattle could act like compass needles．The researchers concluded that cattle do generally orient themselves in a north-south direction．This north-south preference has also been noted in flies and honeybees．But unfortunately, even the high resolution of Google Earth is not powerful enough to tell which end of the cow is its head, and which its tail．The researchers were therefore unable to answer their research questions of whether cattle prefer to look north or south, and whether that differs in the northern and southern hemisphere．46. What is the article mainly about?A. The usefulness of Google Earth.B. Whether cattle are superior to other animals.C. Animals’ sensitivity to natural disasters.D, Whether cattle behave like compass needles.47.Which of the following factors might affect Dr.Begall’s research result?A.Rainfall.B. EarthquakesC. LocationD. Cost48.What is the major finding of Dr.Begall’s study?A.Cattle point north-south.B.Magnetism can’t be studied scientificallyC.Animals prefer to look south.D.Google Earth is a reliable research tool.49.Why couldn’t the researchers get the answer to their research question?A.Many cattle in their study were sitting on the groundB.The cattle constantly change directions to avoid wind chill.C.There is magnetic difference between the two hemispheres.D.They couldn’t tell a cow’s head from its tail in the satellite pictures(B)Astronauts often work 16 hours a day on the space shuttle in order to complete all the projects set out for the mission. From space, astronauts study the geography, pollution, and weather patterns on Earth. They take many photographs to record their observations. Also, astronauts conduct experiments on the shuttle to learn how space conditions, such as microgravity, affect humans, animals, plants, and insects. Besides working, regular exercise is essential to keep the astronauts healthy in microgravity.Astronauts sometimes go outside the shuttle to work. They are protected by a space suit from the radiation of the sun. Meanwhile, the space suit provides necessary oxygen supply and keeps the astronauts from feeling the extreme heat or cold outside the shuttle.When the mission is over, the crew members get ready to return to Earth. the shuttle does notuse its engines for a landing. It glides through the atmosphere. When the shuttle touches the land, a drag parachute opens to steady the aircraft, get the speed right, and help the brakes on the landing-gear wheels to bring it to a complete stop.50.The passage is mainly about______A. how astronauts fly the space shuttleB. how a space mission is completedC. how a space shuttle is constructedD. how far astronauts travel in space.51.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. The astronauts need a space suit to work outside the shuttle.B. The astronauts keep themselves warm in a space suit.C. The astronauts need a space suit to survive in space.D. The astronauts can hardly breathe in a space suit.52.A parachute need to be opened because it can_____.A show down the shuttleB. stop the shuttle from fallingC. make the shuttle get closer to EarthD. help the shuttle glide through the atmosphere.(C)Jet lag，caused by traveling between time zones，is becoming a common problem for frequent travelers：for 49 percent it is only a nuisance and for 45 percent it is a real problem. It is caused by disruption（混乱）to the internal biological clock，and may lead to digestive problems，tiredness，and sleep disruption.Generally speaking，our biological clock is slightly disturbed if we just move into the next time zone，but jet lag becomes a problem once we have passed through three or four time zones. The body takes about one day to get over each hour of time difference. But the seriousness of jet lag problems also depends on our direction of travel. If we go north or south，we won’t notice any difference，because there is usually no time zone change. However if we travel west we will be in advance of ourselves as far as our internal clock is concerned，and problems may arise. A west-to-east journey，on the other hand，makes us late compared to the local time. It often demands even greater effort in adjustment since we are not quick enough to catch up with the new time schedule. Therefore，a trip from New York to Los Angeles often causes fewer problems than a Los Angeles-New York trip.53.

A person may suffer the most serious case of jet lag when he takes a ____________ journey.A. east-to-westB. west-to-eastC. north-to-southD. south-to-north（D）There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to give children something to do.In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with others. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world.What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology. It is the universality (普遍性) of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, America, China, Japan and among the Arctic (北极的) people, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations depended on local customs and ways of life because toys imitate their surroundings. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use. The progress from the wheel to the cart to the automobile is a direct line of ways up. The progress from a rattle (拨浪鼓) used by a baby in 3,000 BC to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness (独创性). Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials.Answer the questions in COMPLETE sentences.1.A civilization can’t develop without toys, can it?2.Why are the toys most boys play with different from those that girls play with?3.What is remarkable about the history of toys?4.Why do children in different places play various toys?5.Can you give some specific examples of the toys played by children in nearly every country according to the passages?(at least two examples)Paper Twohave any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good d 3 about the people who lived in china 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know a 4 nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the p 5 . They have heard it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many g 6 , for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call 'remembered history'. Some of it had now been written down. It is not m exact or so v 7 to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.IV. Sentence transformation:5%1.Michael was so diligent that he kept working although he was seriously ill.Michael was so diligent that he kept working .2.It is impossible for us to shop at home with the development of the Internet.The development of the InternetShop at home.3.He can’t make us believe that he is able to finish the project alone.He can’t to finish the projectalone.4.Can they catch the express train to Nanjing? I doubt it.(两句合并一句）5.I think that it’s great fun to go on an outing with friends.I think great fun on an outing with friends.V. Translation:7%1.全班都同意我们下周五举办派对的安排。
