There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they develope

d is unknown. They probably came about just to give children something to do.

(76) In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers. This is true because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world.

(77) 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 of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, the Americas, China, Japan and among the Arctic (北极的) peoples, 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 oxcart to the automobile is a direct line of ascent (进步). 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. Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials.

The toys most boys play with are different from those that girls play with because ______.

A.their social roles are rigidly determined

B.most boys would like to follow their fathers' professions

C.boys like to play with their fathers while girls with their mothers

D.they like challenging activities

听力原文: All warm-blooded animals are very helpless at first. Young birds and young bats must be taught to fly. Thousands of young seals drown every year. They never learn to swim "naturally." The mother has to take them out under her flipper and show them how. Birds sing without instruction; however, they do not sing well unless they are able to hear older members of their species. Older harvest mice build better nests than beginners. Frank Buck says that the young elephant does not seem to know at first what his trunk is for. It gets in his way and seems more of a hindrance than a help until his parents show him what to do with it. Insects, seem to start life equipped with all necessary reflexes, but they seem to improve their talents with practice. Young spiders, for example, begin by making quite primitive little webs. They attain perfection in their art only after much time. Older spiders, if deprived of their spinnerets, will take to hunting.

(33)

A.They know what to do because of instinct.

B.They know how to fly naturally.

C.They often reject their parents.

D.They learn behavior. from their parents or other animals.

It seems that beauty and women are twins. Observe for yourself. Ads on fashion flood TV sc
reen, radio programs, magazines and the streets. Whether they have realized or not, women are besieged (包围) by a sea of fashion. They are taught to think that without beautiful clothes they will grow old and lose their charm. So who dares to neglect dressing up at the cost of their appearance and youth?

But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to show their beauty through their looks. The richness of their mind proves to be more beautiful and attractive than their looks. A woman who has experienced many troubles and may be called "aunt" or "granny" can still maintain her beauty if she has such excellent qualities as knowledge, ability, a kind heart and concern for others.

In addition, old and young, beautiful and ugly are relative concepts. People who keep a young mind will never feel old. Curious about new things and eager to learn more, they keep up with the tide. Plainly dressed women may have a type of beauty, which is pure and real.

Reading and learning is the best way to keep one youthful. Good books are fertile soil which can feed the flower of one's heart and looks.

Why does the author say that beauty and women are twins?

A.Women are born to be beauties.

B.Women like to show off their beauties

C.Women are proud of their beauty

D.Women try to maintain their beauty by dressing up

According to new research of Prof.Randolf Menzel from the Free University in Berlin,th
e popular image of bees as the ultimate hard workers was inaccurate.“Al—though we see bees buzzing around tirelessly in spring and summer,the common belief in a bee’s busy nature is based on a misconception,” he said.People only really see bees when they’re out flying,or they look at a colony of bees and see thousands of them buzzing around.They don't get to pick them out as individuals.The professor,who this month won a German Zoological Society award for his work on bees,added that bees compensated for their apparent laziness with high intelligence,advanced memory skills and an ability to learn quickly.

The suggestion that bees were not pulling their weight met with skepticism from British beekeepers.Glyn Davies,the President of the British Beekeepers Association,said that bees were not lazy but efficient,“At any particular stage in its energy by doing nothing.Each bee has a unit of life energy and the faster it works,the faster it dies.They are being very wise and perhaps humans should try to follow their example instead of running about like headless chickens.”

The idea of the busy bee is several thousand years old.One current author who has nothing but admiration for the bee is Paul Theroux,the novelist and part-time beekeeper.“I have never seen a bee sleeping.My bees never stop working,”he said.Mr.

Theroux added that Prof.Menzel’s research could have been affected by his national origins.“Perhaps in comparison to the German rate of work,the bee does look lazy,”he said.

Few people think that the busy bee idea will go away,despite the efforts of Prof.Menzel.It seems absurd to apply the word“lazy”to a colony of creatures capable of producing something so extraordinary as honeycomb.The truth is that bees give us an inferiority complex that is not entirely unjustified.In fact,the worship of bees seems to be undergoing a renaissance.IBM recently ran a series of ads drawing on the“waggle dance”of bees,telling businessmen to“make your business waggle.”

36.Prof.Randolf Menzel’s latest research .

A.challenges our knowledge of the relations among bees

B.confirms our knowledge of the relations among bees

C.challenges our perception of the nature of bees

D.confirms our perception of the nature of bees

37.Prof.Randolf Menzel would disagree that .

A.bees are hard working

B.bees are quick learners

C.bees have intelligence

D.bees have good memory

38.According to Glyn Davies,what should we learn from bees?

A.How to work faster.

B.How to live longer.

C.How to cooperate with each other.

D.How to improve work efficiency.

39.It could be inferred from Paragraph 3 that the Germans .

A.are easily affected by their national characters

B.are extremely busy and hard working

C.have many things in common with bees

D.tend to look down upon lazy people

40.The IBM ads in the passage are used to .

A.show the popularity of the idea of busy bees

B.emphasize the negative image of busy bees

C.initiate public discussions on the busy bee image

D.question the comparison of busy bees to humans

Nowadays, especially in China, everything seems to favor social intercourse (社交), such a

Nowadays, especially in China, everything seems to favor social intercourse (社交), such as gatherings of friends, KTV, group travel, dining tighter, playing cards and Mahjong, plus the Chinese-style. “street-crossing group.” Back home, discussions can still be boisterously carried on within the “circle of friends” of WeChat.

However, these scenes cannot always ease a sense of loneliness. Zhu Ziqing, a well-known professor of Tsinghua University, signed with emotion: “My loneliness increases as scene becomes much busier.” One popular song today is also called “A lonely man in crowds.” Actually, engaging in social intercourse requires ability, while being alone involves the whole character. These days, it is not easy to calm down totally and return to one’s true self. Willpower, intellect and discipline are required. Einstein said: “It is not your working time but your spare time that determines the possibility of whether you will be successful or not.” The “spare time” he referred to could be taken as “spending time by yourself.”

Lonely life could be either dull, boring and tasteless or abundant, interesting and colorful, depending on one’s quality, ambition and inspiration.

Just as the body constantly requires energy, the mind and soul also demand never stopping inputs. However, information, processed and integrated (融入) into knowledge, thoughts and feelings, instead of bustle (忙碌) seems to be the right condition. Successful careers in all walks of life worldwide have proved that “the soul grows in peace and talent is nurtured in loneliness”. In a sense, it may be reasonable to say that “Happiness tends to be shallow while loneliness involves depth”.

Man, in fact, needs loneliness more than happy time, and only abundant loneliness can produce quality happiness.

Which of the following can replace the underlined the word “boisterously” in paragraph 1

A.surprisingly

B.sadly

C.busily

D.peacefully

What can we infer from the second paragraphA.Being alone marks people depressed.

B.Social intercourse improves our happiness.

C.One may feel lonely even when surrounded by people.

D.We should attend social intercourse to decrease our loneliness.

What can we know from Einstein’s wordsA.You should be successful if you spend all your time by yourself.

B.You should exercise more if you want to keep your minds healthy.

C.You will not become successful if you join in more social intercourse.

D.You will be more successful if you can make your lonely time meaningful.

Which may be the best title for this passageA.Live on Your Own

B.Happiness and Loneliness

C.The Secret of Success

D.Practice Your Social Ability

Music which is original is individual and personal. That is to say, it can be identified a
s belonging to a particular composer. It has particular qualities, or a style, which are not copied from another. If you can recognize the style. of a composer, you will probably be able to tell that a certain composition belongs to him or her even though you have never heard it before. A basket-maker has the skill of weaving and interweaving his materials to create colorful patterns, and an expert carpenter(木匠) has the skill of joining together different shapes and sizes of wood to make a beautiful piece of furniture. These skills may be referred to as" workmanship" (技艺). Similarly, in music a composer organizes his melodies (旋律) and rhythms and combines sounds to create harmony. A composer may be capable of thinking up very good, original tunes, yet if tunes are poorly organized, that is, if the workmanship is poor, the final result will not be to standard.

Good music expresses feelings in a way that is suitable to those feelings. There may be joy, sorrow, fear, love, anger, or whatever. Bad music, on the other hand, may confuse unrelated feelings. It may not express any important feeling at all, or it may exaggerate some feelings and make them vulgar, that is, cheap and ugly.

Good music will stand the test of time. It will not go out of fashion but will continue to be enjoyed and respected long after it is first introduced. It will gain a kind of permanent status while bad music will disappear and be forgotten quickly. In pop music, where the general rule seems to be" the newer, the better" , the test of time is the hardest test of all to pass.

A piece of original music ______.

A.has a personal style

B.sounds very familiar to our ears

C.is one whose style. you cannot recognize

D.can not be recognized as belonging to any composer

Most of the pioneers of low-temperature physics expected gases to liquefy, but none of the
m predicted superconductivity. This phenomenon was discovered in 1911 by Onnes while he was studying frozen mercury.

More than 40 years passed before physicists were able to offer an explanation for superconductivity. The accepted theory, developed in the 1950s, holds that the fundamental behavior. of electrons changes at very low temperatures because of the effects of quantum mechanics. Electrons are tiny particles that make up the outer part of an atom, circling rapidly around the nucleus of the atom. In a regular conductor—a metal that conducts an electric current—the outermost electrons are not bound tightly to the atoms, and so they move around relatively freely. The flow of these electrons is an electric current.

At normal temperatures, a conductor's electrons cannot move completely freely through the metal because they are "bumped around" by the metal's atoms. But according to the leading theory of superconductivity, when a metal is very cold, electrons form. pairs. Then, like couples maneuvering on a crowded dance floor but never colliding, the paired electrons are able to move unimpeded through the metal. In pairing up, it seems, the electrons are able to "blend together" and move in unison without resistance. This explanation seems to account for superconductivity at extremely low temperatures, but in 1986 scientists in Switzerland found that some metal-containing ceramics are superconductors at much higher temperatures. By 1992, scientists had developed ceramics that become superconducting at - 297'F, and some researchers speculated that room-temperature superconductors may be possible. Scientists are still trying to formulate a theory for high-temperature superconductivity.

The new ceramic materials can be maintained at their superconducting temperatures, with relatively inexpensive liquid nitrogen rather than the much colder and much more costly liquid helium required by metal superconductors. The cost difference could make superconductivity practical for many new technologies. For example, magnetically levitated trains, which require superconducting electromagnets, would be much cheaper to build than they are now. Superconducting devices might also be used for advanced power transmission lines and in new types of compact, ultrafast computers. But for the time being, superconductivity is finding application mostly in scientific research and in some kinds of medical imaging devices.

The flow of an electric current in a regular conductor is made possible by the fact that______.

A.electrons circle rapidly around the atom

B.the outermost electron move relatively freely around the atom

C.the innermost electrons stick to the atom

D.the outermost electrons are bound tightly to the inner ones

One silly question I simply can't stand is "How do you feel?". Usually the
One silly question I simply can't stand is "How do you feel?". Usually the question is asked of a man in action --- a man on the go, walking along the street, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He'll probably say, "Fine, I'm all right," but "you've put a bug in his ear" -- maybe now he's not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk, that he overlooked that morning. It starts him worrying a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, "How do you feel?"

Every question has its time and place. It's perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask "How do you feel?" if you're visiting a close friend in the hospital, But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to make a train, or sitting at his desk working, it's no time to ask him that silly question.When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked him "How do you feel?" Shaw put him in his place. "When you reach my age," he said, "either you feel all right or you're dead."

1.According to the writer, greetings, such as "How do you feel?" ____.

A、show one's consideration for others

B、are a good way to make friends

C、are proper to ask a man in action

D、generally make one feel uneasy

2.The question "How do you feel?" seems to be correct and suitable when asked of ____.

A、a man working at his desk

B、a person having lost a close friend

C、a stranger who looks somewhat worried

D、a friend who is ill

3.The writer seems to feel that a busy man should ____.

A、be praised for his efforts

B、never be asked any question

C、not be bothered

D、be discouraged from working so hard

4.George Bernard Shaw's reply in the passage shows his ____.

A、cheerfulness

B、cleverness

C、ability

D、politeness

5.“You've put a bug in his ear ”means that you've ____.

A、made him laugh

B、shown concern for him

C、made fun of him

D、given him some kind of warning
