22、g Compr(总题数：0，分数：0.00)九、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：6.00)This summer, for the first time, Emory College let freshmen pick their own roommates in an online roommate-selection system that works on the same principles as computer dating. Students, using screen names to hide their identities, posted profiles o
23、f themselves detailing personality attributes, work habits, music and food preferences, and answers to questions like whether they hoped to “do almost everything“ with their roommate or “lead separate but compatible lives. “Roommate-matching is a summer ritual that plunges college housing offices in
24、to the most intimate realm of sleep patterns, cleaning habits, and noise tolerance. Online matching is on the cutting edge. Housing officials at Emory, in Atlanta, say they expect that letting students pick their own roommates will increase the likelihood of compatibility. And theres little risk of
25、hurt feelings if the e-mail exchanges do not lead to a match, since the initial round of contacts is done under screen names.Several studies have shown that roommates have an impact on the attitudes and social behavior of those they live with. And one recent study found that a roommates academic per
26、formance has a small, but statistically significant, effect on the other roommates grade-point average. Other studies, however, did not find that effect.The business of assigning roommates varies widely across the country. At Davidson College, the housing staff sort every freshman with careful hand-
27、selection. The Davidson philosophy is that roommates should be as similar as possible, while halls should be as diverse as possible. “We had a match that seemed perfect, until we discovered that one was a cattle ranchers son and the other was a vegan (绝对素食者) ,“ said Ms. Kromm. “They should definitel
28、y meet, on the same hall. But we didnt want to put them in the same room. “ Occasionally, an incoming student asks to be paired with an Asian, or says she might not be able to get along with a Republican. In such cases, Ms. Kromm will remind them that Davidson does not accept roommate preferences ba
29、sed on race, ethnicity, and religion.Davidsons care in matching pays off. “ By Christmas last year, we had only four requests for roommate changes out of 480 students. “ No one knows whether computer-matching works as well. But at Emory, so far, student reaction seems to be telling something: the on
30、line system is overwhelmed with clicks.（分数：6.00）(1).In computer matchmaking, initially students do not reveal their _.（分数：1.00）A.personalitiesB.identitiesC.habitsD.hobbies(2).If e-mail exchanges between students fail to find a match, the students involved _.（分数：1.00）A.will end up with hurt feelingsB
31、.will stop using their screen namesC.wont feel embarrassed or discouragedD.wont have another chance to contact others(3).As mentioned in the passage, only one study found that roommates have an impact on the _ of the other roommates.（分数：1.00）A.academic gradesB.social behaviorC.sleeping patternsD.per
32、sonal attitudes(4).Both computer matching and hanoi selection follow the principle of _.（分数：1.00）A.putting students with similarities togetherB.meeting all legitimate demands of studentsC.letting students pick their own roommatesD.seeking diversity in roommate matching(5).It can be inferred from the
33、 passage that computer matching _.（分数：1.00）A.is unlikely to be a great successB.is a novelty with unknown resultsC.will not be as good as expectedD.will soon replace hand selection(6).We can learn that students in general _ the online roommate-matching system.（分数：1.00）A.questionB.rejectC.ignoreD.wel
34、come十、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：6.00)According to new research of Prof. Randolf Menzel from the Free University in Berlin, the popular image of bees as the ultimate hard workers was inaccurate. “Although we see bees buzzing around tirelessly in spring and summer, the common belief in a bees busy nature i
35、s based on a misconception,“ he said. People only really see bees when theyre out flying, or they look at a colony of bees and see thousands of them buzzing around. They dont get to pick them out as individuals. The professor, who this month won a German Zoological Society award for his work on bees
36、, 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 Associatio
37、n, said that bees were not lazy but efficient. “At any particular stage in its life, a bee has a specific job to do. If they are unable to do that job, they conserve their 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 wis
38、e 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
39、bee sleeping. My bees never stop working. “ he said, Mr. Theroux, who keeps 85 hives each containing 30000 bees in Hawaii, added that Prof. Menzels 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 peopl
40、e think that the busy bee idea will go away, despite the efforts of Prof. Menzel. It performs too many useful functions in our culture. In fact, the worship of hees seems to be undergoing a renaissance. IBM recently ran a series of ads drawing on the “ waggle dance“ of bees, telling businessmen to “
41、make your business waggle. /（分数：6.00）(1).Prof. Randolf Menzels latest research _.（分数：1.00）A.challenges our knowledge of the relations among beesB.confirms our knowledge of the relations among beesC.challenges our perception of the nature of beesD.confirms our perception of the nature of bees(2).Acco
42、rding to Prof. Randolf Menzel, which of the following is NOT true?（分数：1.00）A.Bees are hard working.B.Bees are quick learners.C.Bees have intelligence.D.Bees have good memory.(3).According to Glyn Davies, what should we learn from bees?（分数：1.00）A.How to work faster.B.How to live longer.C.How to coope
43、rate with each other.D.How to improve work efficiency.(4).It could be inferred from paragraph 3 that the Germans _.（分数：1.00）A.are easily affected by their national charactersB.are extremely busy and hard workingC.share many things in common with beesD.tend to look down upon lazy people(5).The IBM ad
44、s in the passage are used to _.（分数：1.00）A.show the popularity of the idea of busy beesB.emphasize the negative image of busy beesC.initiate public discussions on the busy bee imageD.question the comparison of busy bees to humans(6).What may happen to the idea of the busy bee?（分数：1.00）A.People will g
45、radually lose interest in the idea.B.People will continue to endorse the idea.C.People will stop using the idea in education.D.People will find a replacement to the ide十一、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：6.00)Few foods are more alluring than chocolate. “Chocolate is a drug of abuse in its own category,“ jokes
46、 Dr. Louis Aronne. “Its ahnost as if people have chocolate receptors in their brains. “That may not be too far off the mark. In a recent book called “Breaking the Food Seduction,“ Dr. Neal Barnard contends that certain foodsincluding chocolate, cheese, red meat and practically anything combining sug
47、ar and fatare just plain addictive. “ Its not that you lack willpower. These foods stimulate the release of chemicals in the brains pleasure center that keep you hooked. “Besides tapping the brains own “feel good“ chemicals, Barnard says, some of these foods contain drug-like molecules (分子) of of th
48、eir own. Cheese delivers casomorphins, the same compounds in a mothers milk that help an infant bond during nursing, he says, but cheese is even more powerful, because it delivers casomorphins in an undiluted form. The result: “Were bonding to our refrigerators. “Other scientists doubt these drug-li
49、ke compounds have enough force to make the foods addictive. But no one denies that fat and sugar exert a strong appeal. The brain is designed to reward eating and other behaviors that promote survival. And throughout history, with food relatively hard to come by, what prmnoted survival better than calorie-dense foods packed with fat and sugar? Besides, fat and sugar also calm the brain, lowering levels of stress hormones. “Th
