Looking at the lake, he saw the most beautiful animal he had ever seen. It was a swan(天鵝)and its feathers(羽毛）were a

18、s white as snow. The swan was playing with other birds happily, talking and dancing. And it seemed that the other birds all liked to stay with_. When he looked at his own feathers, they were as black as coal. The raven was very angry with the swan. “How can the swan have such wonderful feathers?” sa

19、id the raven. What should he do with his feathers? He thought it over and over.Then, the raven decided that he also wanted to have white feathers like the swans. From that day on, the raven began to live like the swan. He moved his home from the woods to the lake. He also started to eat water plants

20、 like the swan. He tried his best to talk and dance with the other birds. The most important was that each day, the raven would wash his feathers, hoping that they would turn white. Even he went to the nearby rivers and ponds to wash his feathers because he thought the water in the lakes was not eno

21、ugh for him to wash them. But no matter how hard he washed his feathers, they remained black.As he ate only water plants, he soon grew thinner and thinner. Not many days later, the raven died.1The underlined word “ it” in Paragraph 1 refers to _.Athe raven Bthe swan Cthe feather Dthe water2Why was t

The researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it twenty centimeters from her face. She stares at it carefully.A researcher rem

25、oves the card and replaces it by another one, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze（凝視）starts to lose its focus until a third card is presented. The third card has three black spots on it. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long

26、as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world? Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer?The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots chan

27、ges. Perhaps it is just the newness? When a little older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to thre

28、e? No again.Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats （鼓聲）than when they h

29、eard just two; likewise（同樣地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.1The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is mainly about the babys _.Asense of hearing Bsense of sight Csense of touch Dsense of smell2What does the underlined word it in paragraph 2 refer to?Athe card Bthe ba

30、by Cthe comb Dthe key3According to the passage, babies have a strong sense of changing in _.Athe size of cards Bthe colour of pictures Cthe shape of patternsDthe number of objects4Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?ATo reduce the difficulty of the experiment.BTo see how babies re

31、cognize sounds.CTo carry their experiment further.DTo keep the babies interest.5Where does this passage probably come from?AScience fiction. BChildrens literature.CAn advertisement. DA science reportC15、They tell us when to get up or when were running late for work and whether we are in danger of mi

32、ssing our favourite TV programme. But while our daily activities depend on clocks that tell us the time science is discovering that our well-being is influenced by a very different kind of timepiece. Circadian rhythms-the human bodys own internal(體內(nèi)的) clockhave a powerful influence on our health and

33、 behaviour. They are programmed from birth and control functions ranging from temperature and blood pressure to sleep patterns.In recent years researchers have also discovered that this built-in mechanism (內(nèi)在機制) can influence everything from the way we react to medicines to how well we learn music.T

34、he latest example, from experts at Harvard University in the US, shows that the human body clock can even influence whether or not we are likely to tell the truth. Researchers found it was easier for people to tell lies in the afternoon because as they were tired, the self control that would normall

35、y prevent them from lying started to break down. Tiredness made it easier for them to tell lies -especially if it meant they got a financial reward at the end.“The body clock has a great effect on us all,” says Professor Jim Horne from the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University. “Most peop

36、le tend to feel good around late morning and then decline in the early afternoon. But the time most of us will feel our sharpest is between 6pm and 8pm. Thats because sleepiness tends to build up throughout the day. By early evening our body clock kicks in to wake us up. One reason may be to ensure

37、we get home safely. When our ancestors (祖先) were coming home after hunting all day, their internal clocks kicked in to get them home in one piece.”So what effects do circadian rhythms have and whats the best time of day to take advantage of them?1The underlined word “They” in the first paragraph ref

38、ers to_ .Aour health and behaviour Bscientists and expertsCour daily routines Dcircadian rhythms2The research referred to in Paragraph 3 found that people would rather _ .Atell lies when they are tired Btell lies if they are rewardedCget angry as they become tired Dbreak down because they are tired3

39、According to the passage, when are people most quick-thinking?AIn the morning. BAround midday.CIn the late afternoon. DIn the early evening.4What information will the writer probably give following the last paragraph?AAn explanation of how the human body clock controls the body.BExamples of how the

40、human body clocks control the body.CExamples of the most suitable time to do different activities.DSome practical suggestions to prevent people from lying.D16、A girl complained to her father about her hard lifeShe didnt know what she had to do and wanted to give upShe felt tired of fighting and figh

And it can be more exciting if there are dolphins swimming around and jumping out of the sea to

48、o. For many people， it would be a wonderful dream to swim with these lovely animals! However， this may not be good for dolphins. They may get hurt because of human interaction (互動).Dolphins are active and usually look for food at night. In the day， they like to rest in shallow bays(淺灣). Many people

49、think the dolphins are awake during the day as they swim. But when they sleep they rest half of their brain and keep the other half awake to breathe， so they may be sleeping even when theyre swimming in the water.From 2010 to 2013， spinner dolphins (飛旋海豚) of Hawaiis Big Island appeared to human acti

51、ked by sharks and other animals.Moreover， when people are around， dolphins become more active. Thus， they cant get enough sleep. “Disturbing their resting behaviors can actually affect their long term health and the health of the dolphin population.” Ann Garrett of NOAAs National Marine Fisheries Se

52、rvice said.As a result， the NOAA wants to make rules to help protect the dolphins. For example， people may not be allowed to swim with the Hawaii spinner dolphins. Or they may stop people from swimming in shallow bays when the dolphins are resting. Tour operators must also be taught to watch for sig

She has helped change things so that farm workers can have a better life.Dolores grew up in California. She was a good student and liked school. After she finished high school, she went to

56、college and studied to be a teacher. After she became a teacher, Dolores noticed that many of her students were not getting enough food to eat. Some of them wore very old clothes. Dolores wondered how she could help them.Dolores decided to stop teaching so that she could spend more time helping the

57、farm workers and their families. One thing she wanted to do was to get more pay for farm workers so they could buy their children the things they needed.Dolores knew that many farm workers moved often from one place to another to help pick different kinds of fruits and vegetables. She began talking

58、and writing about these workers. Even people who lived far from California read what Dolores wrote.Getting higher pay for the farm workers was not easy. Dolores worked hard to make sure that farm workers got good pay for their work. She knew that nothing would change unless people made new laws to help the workers. Through all her hard work, new laws were ma
