15、faces. Why the differences?A test of the brains electrical activity shows that women commonly use both sides of their brain while men rely more on one.

20、. Reading Comprehension.(40 points)A As the world watched the twin towers of the World Trade Center come under attack, a common phrase was repeated:“It looks like a movie.” But this time there was no superman to save the people or the famous building. The attack destroyed one of the worlds highest s

21、kyscrapers and left 5,000 people dead or missing. Movie fans have become used to such events after years of Hollywood films showing disasters, terrorism(恐怖主義) and danger, The Empire State Building, the White House, New York City and even the American president himself have all been threatened by ter

22、rorist attacks in these exciting films. The film“True Lies”, released(發(fā)行) in 1994 is considered to be a good example of this kind of movie. The special effects, including explosions and missiles, make the action look like a real thing. “Independence Day”in 1996 took this type of movie one step furth

23、er by blowing up the White House. This science fiction movie is about a war between human beings and aliens(外來人) from another planet. In the movie, the World Trade Center towers are destroyed. Violence has become a major part of Hollywood movies. And this is what people enjoy. Soon after the attacks

24、, many famous film companies stopped the planned releases of some of their new movies, especially if their films showed terrorist attacks or plane crashes. “Swordfish” was top of the American box office in June, 2001. But the movies story was frighteningly similar to the Sept.11 disaster. The film w

25、ould have been stopped in American and British cinemas after the attack. But its unlikely that Hollywood will stay quiet for long. It is already waiting for the feeling in America to calm down.36. What is the main subject of the newspaper article? AThe relationship between the Sept.11 attack and Hol

26、lywood films. BThe effect of the Sept.11 attack on Hollywood films CThe response Hollywood made to the Sept.11 attack. DThe result of Hollywood films showing violence and disasters.37. Which of the following is true? AHollywood made a lot of money out of the film“Swordfish”in June. BHollywood stoppe

27、d making films showing terrorism and disasters after the Sept.11 attack. C“Swordfish”was not allowed to be shown after the Sept.11 attack. DThe World Trade Center was destroyed because no superman came to save it.38. From this article we know that . AHollywood is a filmmaking center making films of

28、violence and disasters Btoo many Hollywood films showing terrorism and disasters resulted in the Sept.11 attack Cpeople who were used to the Hollywood films were not shocked at the Sept.11 attack. Din fact, the Sept.11 attack had nothing to do with Hollywood films. BLast week, I bought an alarm syst

29、em(報警系統(tǒng)) for about $ 450. It consisted of a control unit with three other small units. I put the control unit in the sitting room and fastened the other units by the front door, back door and living-room windows. The instructions told us to choose three numbers, so we chose 491, the last three numbe

30、rs of our telephone number.Now I must explain how the alarm works:1. There is a power siren(警報器) in the control unit. It makes a very loud noise.2. Each of the small units sends out beams(光束) or rays in different directions. If anything moves, it breaks a beam. This sends a signal to the control uni

31、t. The siren makes a noise that you can hear 50 meters away.3. When we go to bed, I press the three buttons numbered 4, 9 and 1. Then we have 30 seconds to get out of the room before the alarm starts to work.That might I slept soundly because I was sure that no burglar(夜賊) could get into our house.

32、However, at about 2:10a.m., I woke up and heard the siren(警報).“There must be a burglar in the house,” Mary said. “What shall we do?”“Ill go and see whos there,” I said. “Stay here. Dont make a noise.”I went downstairs quietly. When I reached the living room, I switched on my torch and looked round t

33、he room. Then I turned the light on. I switched the siren off and searched the rooms downstairs. There was nothing wrong except that the back door was unlocked. I locked it, re-set the alarm and went back to bed.About an hour later, the alarm started again. I jumped out of bed, fell over a chair in

34、the dark and bumped into the bedroom door. Mary woke up and started hitting me with a torch. “Hey! Wait a minute!” I whispered. “Its only me. I m going downstairs to see whats wrong.”I went down into the living room and listened for a moment. The only sound I could hear was the siren. I turned on th

35、e light and then switched the siren off. As I did so, I glanced across at the curtains in front of the windows. I saw a house lizard (蜥蜴) disappear behind the curtains.“Oh!” I said to myself. “Thats our burglar.”When the lizard moved, it started the siren. I guessed that the alarm had been made in E

36、urope, where there are no house lizards.Well, I wont finish this story but if you want an alarm system free of charge, let me know. Ill send you ours. We bought a dog this morning. It knows the difference between a lizard and a burglar.39. The writer bought an alarm system to . Amake sure that he go

The purpose of the three units was to . Asend a message to the control unit and start the siren Bsound their own

If the writer set the alarm and remained in the room for more than half a minute, . Anothing would happen Bthe control unit would not work Cthe siren would make a noise Dthe

Atell us that the alarm system doesnt work Btell us an interesting experience Cshow us how the alarm system works Dmake it clear that he wants to give away his alarm systemcThe gray-haired lady cant wait to leave the buildin

40、g to search for her dad. Unless watched, she will walk in the streets in an effort to find her father, who died 30 years ago.Not all cases of Alzheimers disease look like this, but Alzheimers is a serious disease that is said to be the fourth or fifth leading cause of death for people over age 75.It

41、 is said that about three percent of the U.S. population over age 65 have Alzheimers. In the early stages, people may exhibit short term memory loss. Some may experience changes in personality, easy to be angry. As the disease progresses, patients might lose the ability to move and may be unable to

42、speak or move at all. This progressive disease generally lasts 8 to 10 years before death occurs.While no one is certain what causes these changes in the brains nerve fibers (神經(jīng)纖維), their effect is certain. Alzheimers destroys not only the patients, but also spouses (配偶), friends and families.What s

43、hould you do if you notice progressive memory loss in yourself or a loved one? Have the person examined by a doctor who is a specialist in the treatment of Alzheimers disease. Though many reasons other than Alzheimers disease may cause memory loss, its early diagnosis (診斷) and treatment may delay so

44、me of the most serious effects.What feeling will you likely experience should a loved one suffer from Alzheimers disease? A person will often go through the various stages of sadness, shock, anger, and so on. If the spouse develops the disease, you may experience hurt and disappointment when he or s

45、he doesnt remember you are married.Life for the Alzheimers patients and their loved ones will never be the same as the disease progresses, bringing a deep sorrow, loss and even anger towards God. No matter what feelings are present, facing them honestly will serve one better than burying them.43. Wh

49、eD. when one suffers from Alzheimers disease, he will be buried DI made a pledge(誓言) to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car ra

50、dio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical（圣經(jīng)的）passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, "Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love." To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.And it did.

51、Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, "That new yellow sweater（套頭衫） looks great on you.""Oh, Tom, you noticed, "she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled.After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I st

52、arted to refuse, but then I thought, "Evelyn's been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me. "We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell

53、 museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that's how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love. There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, p

54、reparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression."What's the matter?" I asked her."Tom," she said in a voice filled with distress(悲痛), "do you know something I don't?""What do you mean?""Wellthat checkup（體檢） I had several weeks ag

55、oour doctordid he tell you something about me？Tom, you've been so good to meam I dying?"It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing."No, honey," I said, wrapping her in my arms. "You're not dying; I'm just starting to live."47. From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage _.(A) with his family (B) with Evelyn (C) alone (D) with his children48. During the tw
