　　Plants and Mankind

　　Botany, the study of plants, occupies a peculiar position in the history of human knowledge. We don't know what our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of preindustrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient. This is logical. Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things, even for other plants. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, dyes, medicines, shelter, and many other purposes. Tribes living today in the jungle of the Amazon recognize hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. To them botany has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of knowledge at all.

　　Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from direct contact with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comes unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid. When our Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next season, the first great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture: cultivated crops. From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and intimacy with plants in the wild would begin to fade away .

　　1. It is logical that a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient.

　　A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

　　2. People can not survive without plants.

　　A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

　　3. Tribes living today in the jungle of the Amazon teach botany to their children at school.

　　A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

　　5. Today people usually acquire a large amount of botanical knowledge from textbooks.

　　A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

　　6. People living in the Middle East first learned to grow plants for food about 10,000 years ago.

　　A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

　　7. Once mankind began farming, they no longer had to get food from many varieties that grew wild.

　　More Than 8 Hours Sleep Too Much of a Good Thing

　　Although the dangers of too little sleep are widely known，new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences.

　　Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep，as well as a number of other sleep problems，than people who sleep 8 hours a night.People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night’s sleep than 8-hour sleepers.

　　These findings, which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, demonstrate that people who want to get a good night’s rest may not need to set aside。more than 8 hours a night.He added that“it might be a good idea'’for people who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed, but cautioned that more research is needed to confirm this.

　　Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep一for instance, one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.

　　For the current report，Kripke reviewed the responses of 1，004 adults to sleep questionnaires，in which participants indicated how much they slept during the Week and whether they experienced any sleep problems.Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night，arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep，and having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning.

　　KriDke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours.In an interview, Kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed.As evidence，he added that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed.“It stands to reason that if a person spends too long a time in bed, then they’ll spend a higher percentage of time awake.”he said.

　　1. Paragraph 2 ___.

　　2. Paragraph 4___.

　　3. Paragraph 5___.

　　4. Paragraph 6___.

　　Some things we know about language

　　Many things about language are a mystery, and many will always remain SO.But somethings we do know.

　　First，we know that all human beings have a language of some sort.There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language，no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one mother.　Furthermore，in historical times，there has never been a race of men without a language.

　　Second，there is no such thing as a primitive language.There are many people whose cultures are undeveloped，who are，as we say，uncivilized, but the languages they speak are not primitive.In all known 1anguages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing.

　　This has not always been well understood;indeed, the direct contrary has often been stated.Popular ideas of the 1anguage of the American Indians will illustrate.Many people have supposed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive system of noises.Study has proved this to be nonsense.There are，or were，hundreds of American Indian languages，and a11 of them turn out to be very complicated and very old. They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with，but they are no more primitive five than English and Greek.

　　A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate.That is, each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language.

　　Finally, we know that language changes.It is natural and normal for language to change;the only languages which do not change are the dead ones.This is easy to understand if we look backward in time.Change goes on in all aspects of language.Grammatical features change as do speech sounds，and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly.Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.

　　词汇：

　　race/n.种族

　　primitive/adj.原始的

　　uncivilized/adj.不开化的，落后的

　　complexity/n.性，

　　Stress Level Tied to Education Level

　　People with less education suffer fewer stressful days, according to a report in the current issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.

　　However, the study also found that when 1ess-educated people did suffer stress it was more severe and had a larger impact on their health.

　　From this。researchers have concluded that the day-to-day factors that cause stress are not random.Ⅵr11ere you are in society determines the kinds of problems that you have each day, and how well you will cope with them.

　　The research team interviewed a national sample of 1.03 1 adults daily for eight days about their stress level and health.People without a high school diploma reported stress on 30 percent of the study days，people with a high school degree reported stress 38 percent of the time，and people with college degrees reported stress 44 percent of the time.

　　“Less advantaged people are less healthy on a daily basis and are more likely to have downward turns in their health。”lead researcher Dr.Joseph Grzywacz，of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, said in a prepared statement.“The downward turns in health were connected with daily stressors.and the effect of daily stressors on their health is much more devastating for the less advantaged.”

　　Grzywacz suggested follow-up research to determine why less-educated people report fewer days of stress when it is known their stress is more acute and chronic.

　　“If something happens every day, maybe it’snot seen as a stressor”Grzywacz says.“Maybe it is just 1ife.”

　　词汇：

　　stressful adj.紧张的;重的

　　diploma n.毕业文凭，毕业证书

　　stressor n.紧张刺激物

　　devastating adj.毁灭性的

　　follow-up n.(对病人的)随访

　　1. Stress level is closely related to

　　A)family size.

　　B)social status.

　　C)body weight.

　　D)work experience.

　　2.The 1.03 1 adults were interviewed

　　A)on adaily basis for 8days.

　　B)during one of eight days.

　　C)all by Grzywacz.

　　D)in groups.

　　3. Which group reported the biggest number of stressful days?

　　A)People without any education.

　　B)People without high school degrees.

　　C)People with high school degrees.

　　D)People with college degrees.

　　4.The less advantaged people are，the greater

　　A)the impact of stress on their health is.

　　B)the effect of education on their health is

　　C)the level of their education is.

　　D)the degree of their health concern is.

　　5.Less—educated people report fewer days of stress possibly because

　　Adaptation of Living Things

　　Certain animals and plants develop characteristics that help them cope with their environment better than others of their kind. This natural biological process is called adaptation. Among the superior characteristics developed through adaptation are those that may help in getting food or shelter, in providing protection, and in producing and protecting the young. That results in the evolution of more and more organisms that are better fitted to their environments.

　　Each living thing is adapted to its way of life in a general way, but each is adapted especially to its own distinct class. A plant, for example, depends upon its roots to fix itself firmly and to absorb water and inorganic chemicals. It depends upon its green leaves for using the sun's energy to make food from inorganic chemicals. These are general adaptations, common to most plants. In addition, there are special adaptations that only certain kinds of plants have.

　　Many animals have adaptations that help them escape from their enemies. Some insects are hidden by their body color or shape, and many look like a leaf or a little branch. The coats of deer are colored to mix with the surroundings. Many animals have the ability to remain completely still when an enemy is near.

　　Organisms have a great variety of ways of adapting. They may adapt in their structure, function, and genetics; in their development and production of the young; and in other respects. An organism may create its won environment, as do warm-blooded mammals, which have the ability to adjust body heat exactly to maintain their ideal temperature despite changing weather. Usually adaptations are an advantage, but sometimes an organism is so well adapted to a particular environment that, if conditions change, it finds it difficult or impossible to readapt to the new conditions.

　　2. In the first paragraph, the word environments could best be replaced by

　　A. contexts

　　B. surroundings

　　C. neighbors

　　D. enemies

　　3. It can be inferred from this passage that the feathers of a bird care colored

　　A. to frightened its enemies.

　　B. to attract its enemies

　　C. to adjust its body heat

　　D. to match its environment

　　4. Which of the following is not directly mentioned?

　　A. A living thing may adapt in its structure.

　　B. An organism may adapt in its function.

　　C. A living creature may adapt in its genetic makeup.

　　D. A living organism may adapt in its sleeping habit.

　　5. The author cites the behavior of warm-blooded mammals in order to illustrate which of the following?

　　A. A living thing may have the ability to create an environment of its own

　　B. A living creature may have the ability to remain still when an enemy is near.

　　C. A living creature may have the ability to make food from its inorganic chemicals

　　D. A living creature may have the ability to change the color of its skin.

　　阅读下面的短文，文章中有5处空白，文章后有6组文字，请文章的内容选择5组文字，将其分别放会文章原有位置，以恢复文章原貌。请将答案涂在答题卡的位置。

　　The first four minutes

　　When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? During their first four minutes together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. In his book, Contact: The first four minutes, he offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendships: __1__. A lot of people's whole lives would change if they did just that.

　　You may have noticed that average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he as just met.__2__. If anyone has ever done this to you, you probably did not like him very much.

　　When we are introduced to new people, the author suggests, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. In general, he says, People like people who like themselves.

　　On the other hand, we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves. It is important to appear interested and sympathetic, realizing that the other person has his won needs, fears, and hopes.

　　Hearing such advice, one might say, But I'm not a friendly, self-confident person. That's not my nature. It would be dishonest for me to at that way.

　　__3__. We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality. It is like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than the old one.

　　But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that way? Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin, total honest is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything, and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complain about one's health or to mention faults one finds in other people. It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one's opinions and impressions.

　　__4__. For a husband and wife or a parent and child, problems often arise during their first four minutes together after they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that these first few minutes together be treated with care. If there are unpleasant matters to be discussed, they should be dealt with later.

　　The author says that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. __5__ that is at least as important as how much we know.

　　A. In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits.

　　B. Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends.

　　C. In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people.

　　D. Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes.

　　E. He keeps looking over the other person's shoulder, as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room.

　　F. He is eager to make friends with everyone.

　　阅读下面的短文，文中有15处空白，每处空白给出了4个选项，请短文的内容从4个选项中选择1个最佳答案，并涂在答题卡的位置上。

　　Man of Few Words

　　1. B 寻找的答案，常常需要借助上下文的信息。紧接着的句子中有短语：“particularly difficult to catch” (难找到他)。这个句子是说明个句子的。从中可以推出“well known”是的答案。“well known for keeping himself to himself”是“以与世隔绝为大家熟知”的意思。

　　2. A “come across”，“run into”，“bump into”在语义上都有某种“偶然性”，这是主语所指的人所无法控制的，搭配在语义上是错误的。

　　3. D 在对题做解释时，提到了上下文常常可以帮助的判断。紧随其后的句子是“It came as a complete surprise.”(奖来得很突然)。“shock”跟“surprise意思很接近，“shocked”是的答案。

　　4. C 在空白处需要填入名词。“love”除作动词外还能作名词。

　　5. A “despite”的是反向的对比，主旬中有“easy”。那么它的反义词“difficult”。

　　6. C “to make a break through”等于“to break through”，是固定的搭配。

　　7. C “to take one’S place”是“位置”的意思，这是固定的说法。

　　8. C 句子里宾语，需要不及物动词，四个动词中，“won既可作及物动词，又可作不及物动词。

　　9.A 除了“deal”外， “handle”，“solve”和“remove”都不跟“with”。

　　10.D 整个句子说的是：在依然的暴力、犯罪和种族隔离问题，他的书能使人从内部理解种族隔离制。“从……角度”常用“from…”。

　　11.D “casts its shadow”(投阴影)是“给……带来”的意思，是固定的说法。

　　12.B “tllinktwice…”于汉语中的“三思而后行”。正如汉语中不说“二思而后行，一样，英语中也不说“think thrice”，搭配是固定的。

　　13.C 从紧随其后的句子来看，应填入“mirrored”。这两个句子说的是：事实上，Coetzee 作品中的纯洁性似乎也反映在他的个人生活之中。他是吃素食的人，他骑车而不开车，并且也不喝酒。

　　14.A 从下文“far greater than the thing she has given up”(比起他放弃的东西要多得多)来看，选择“contributed”()是对的。全旬说的是：，他对文学、文化、南非所的比起他放弃的东西要多得多。

　　15.D 的三个选项插入后生成的不合格的句子。
