You should choose the best answer and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the

19、center.Questions 26-30 are based on Passage One: Go ahead, laugh. Its strong medicine, researchers are learning. Even the physical act is good for you, says William Fry, professor at Stanford University and pioneer in laughter research. It increases blood flow and contracts abdominal muscles. But th

20、e benefits go beyond a workout. The most astonishing evidence of laughters power comes from a 1997 study of 48 heart-attack patients. Half-watched comedy shows for 30 minutes every day; the rest served as controls. After a year, ten patients in the control group had suffered repeat heart attacks, co

21、mpared with only two in the group that watched the shows.Can a good laugh help patients get well? In an experiment at the University of California at Los Angeles, called Rx Laughter, scientists plan to test the effect of laughter in children with serious illnesses, including cancer. Early results su

22、ggest that funny videos help kids handle uncomfortable or painful procedures.Justin Ybarra, 13, already knows that. He was in considerable pain when he woke up from surgery - until Bill Marx, a volunteer for Rx Laughter, appeared at his bedside. Marx told jokes, made faces and dancing around the hos

23、pital room. “Having something to laugh at took my mind off the pain,” says Justin. “When youre laughing, you cant help but feel better.”26.

The main idea of the passage is _.A) researchers are doing experiments on laughterB) laughing is good me

26、dicine for the patientsC) patients usually prefer comedies to tragediesD) children all like clowns very muchQuestions 31-35 are based on Passage Two: Under proper conditions, sound waves will be reflected from a hillside or other such obstruction. Sound travels at the rate of about one fifth of a mi

27、le per second. If the hill is eleven hundred feet away, it takes two seconds for the sound to travel to the hill and back. Thus, by timing the interval between a sound and its reflection (the echo), you can estimate the distance to an obstruction.During World War II the British used a practical appl

28、ication of this principle to detect German planes on their way to bomb London long before the enemy was near the target. They used radio waves instead of sound waves, since radio waves can penetrate fog and clouds. The outnumbered Royal Air Force (RAF) always seemed to the puzzled Germans to be lyin

29、g in wait at the right time and never to be surprised. It was radio echoes more than anything else that won the battle of Britain.Since the radio waves were used to tell the direction in which to send the RAF planes and the distance to send them (Their range of light, in other words), the device was

30、 called radio directing and ranging, and from the initials the word radar (雷達) was coined.31. Sound waves reflected from a hill can be used to estimate the _.A) height of the hill B) speed of soundC) distance to the hill D) intensity of sound32. The estimate is based on the _.A) direction of the hil

31、l B) accepted speed of soundC) interval between sound and echo D) both B and C33. Practical application of this principle resulted in _.A) new electronic instruments for planesB) a radio directing and ranging deviceC) new radio sets for RAF bomberD) an electronic detecting device34. Radar enabled th

32、e English to _.A) detect German planes on their way to LondonB) direct the outnumbered RAF planes effectivelyC) confuse German bomber pilotD) both A and B35. The British used radio waves because they _.A) were more exact than sound waves B) could not be detectedC) could penetrate fog and clouds D) w

33、ere easier to use than sound wavesQuestions 36-40 are based on Passage Three:Some psychologists maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that ones muscles also participate. It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we list

34、en to music with our bodies.You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their body or, more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one

35、 listens to a symphonic (交響樂) concert on the radio, he is tempted to direct the orchestra even though he knows there is a competent conductor on the job.Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so

36、 to speak, in its performance. The listener “feels” himself into the music with more or less pronounced motions of his body.The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less pronounced.36. Some ps

37、ychologists maintain that thinking is _.A) not a mental processB) more of a physical process than a mental actionC) a process that involves our entire bodiesD) a process that involves the muscles as well as the brain37.

38、mental actsB) muscles participate in both processesC) both processes are performed by the entire bodyD) we derive equal enjoyment from them38.

39、he above39. Body movements are necessary in order for the listener to _.A) hear the music B) appreciate the musicC) enjoy the music fully D) completely understand the music40. According to selection, muscle participation in the process of thinking is _.A) deliberate B) obvious C) not readily apparen

40、t D) very pronouncedQuestions 41-45 are based on Passage Four:Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveler in India in the year 900 wrote that it was played “l(fā)ong, long ago”. Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 14

41、00. The name “chess” is interesting. When one player is attacking the others king, he says, in English, “check”. When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere, he says “check mate”. These words come from Persian. “Shah mat” means “the king is dead”. That is when the game is over, and one pl

42、ayer has won.Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For example, at one time the queen could only move one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It would be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time an

43、d thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people. You dont have to be a champion in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some of the chess masters are able to play many pe

44、ople at the same time. The record was when one man played 400 games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the world.41.
