14、r on ANSWER SHEET I./BBPassage One/B“A rolling stone gathers no moss(苔藓) ,“ but there is one living animal that does gather moss, the three-toed sloth (树獭) of South America. This slowest-moving member of the animal kingdom is so inactive that moss actually gathers on its body and turns it greenstran
15、ge as it seems!Most of the sloths life is spent motionless, hanging upside down from a limb. And that is the way its hair grows. Long and coarse, the strands (串) from receptacles (花托) for the damp jungle algae (水藻) that turn the brown fur a mossy green. Actually this moss helps the animal survive be
16、cause it serves as a perfect camouflage against the leaf trees and hides the sloth from the jungles swift - moving hunters. The sloth would have little chance of survival on the ground. With long, curved claws hooked over the limb of a leafy tree, it spends the long hot hours during the day drowsing
17、 and eating. Inch by inch, it strips the leafy limbs bare and crawls slowly down the trunk to find a new dining spot, but only at night.In addition to looking rather like a vegetable, the sloth is a strict vegetarian. Running out of its favorite leaf is about the only thing that will make a sloth mo
18、ve. Then its appetite may even force the animal into swimming a stream to reach a juicy succulent(多汁的植物). It will also force it into fighting to keep the tree all to itself. The sloth is lazy and prefers to be alone, but it will tolerate its own relatives!（分数：12.00）(1).A suitable title for this pass
19、age might be _.（分数：3.00）A.Wild AnimalsB.Animal KingdomC.Moss GrowthD.The Lazy Animal(2).The authors purpose in writing the passage is _.（分数：3.00）A.to help children to gain a better understanding of animal lifeB.to prove that the saying “a rolling stone gathers no moss“ is wrongC.to introduce a parti

22、ies had more freedom than they have now, and they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new
23、 products were dangerous for the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed need for changes. Also scientists who were doing res
24、earch into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore. At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disaster or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries; however, the new rule; came too late to prot
25、ect the people who died or who became seriously iii.Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U. S., for example, there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft produc
26、ers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that are breaking laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course, new government departments and new laws can
27、not prevent every accident or illness, but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and Cars which we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products.（分数：12.00）(1).

32、e does not matter, modernize our homes and speed the machinery of living in order that we can go to the most places and do the most things in the shortest period of time possible. We try to eat, sleep, and talk efficiently. Even on holidays and Sundays, the efficient man relaxes on timetable with on
33、e eye on the clock and the other on an appointment sheet.To squeeze the most out of each shining hour we have shortened the opera, quickened the pace of the movie and put culture in pocket-sized packages. We make the busy bee look like a lazy creature, the ant like a Usluggard/U. We live sixty-mile-
34、minute and the great efficiency smiles.We wish we could return to that Upleasant day/U when we considered time a friend instead of an enemy; when we did things willingly and because we wanted to, rather than because our timetable called for it, But that of course would not be efficiency; and we Amer

Primarily, the bank-custom
39、er relationship is that of debtor and creditor who is which depending on whether the customers account is in credit or overdrawn. But, in addition to that basically simple concept, the bank and its customer owe a large number of obligations to one another. Many of these obligations can give rise to
40、problems and complications but a bank customer, unlike, say, a buyer of goods, cannot complain that Uthe law is loaded against him/U.The bank must obey its customers instructions, and not those of anyone else. When, for example, a customer first opens an account, he instructs the bank to debit (把记入借
41、方 ) his account only in respect of checks drawn by himself. He gives the bank specimens of his signature, and there is a very firm rule that the bank has no right or authority to pay out a customers money on a check on which its customers signature has been forged. It makes no difference that the fo
42、rgery may have been a very skillful one the bank must recognize its customers signature. For this reason there is no risk to the customer in the practice, adopted day banks, of printing the customers name on his checks. If this facilitates forgery, it is the bank which will lose, not the customer.（分

46、ose your moneyBPassage Five/BAlthough no one is Certain why migration occurs, there are several theories. One theory is based upon the premise that prehistoric birds of the northen Hemisphere were forced south during the Ice Age, when glaciers covered large parts of Europe, Asia, and North America.
47、As the glaciers melted, the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer, and then went south again as the ice advanced in winter In time, the migration became a habit, and now, although the glaciers have disappeared, the habit continues.Another theory proposes that the ancestral home of all
48、 modern birds was the tropics. When the region became overpopulated, many species were crowded north. During the summer, there was plenty of food, but during the winter, scarcity forced them to return to the tropics.A more recent theory, known as photoperiodism, suggests a relationship between increasing daylight and the stimulation of certain glands in the birds bodies that may prepare them for migration. One scientist has been able to cause midwinter migrations by exposing birds to artifici
