For each question, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.Questions 51-55 are based on th
32、e following passage.Every Chinese schoolchild is drilled in the motherlands historic “Four Inventions“: gunpowder, paper, printing and the compass. But last week a somewhat unlikely item was added to the list of things for which the rest of the world should apparently be grateful to China-the sauna.
33、According to China Daily, the sauna “may well have once been a popular luxury in ancient China“, and “related records on steam bathing by ancient Chinese may be found in various historical accounts“.It seems that nothing was beyond the ancient Chinese. A couple of years ago, an article claimed that
34、China had also invented golf, which was news to Scotland. And in the recent Peking Toilet Exhibition, photographs of archaeological remains were produced to demonstrate that China was home to the earliest known public convenience.Finland, which has a million saunas for its population of five million
35、, is likely to be devastated by this latest revelation. According to China Daily, during the Warring States period (475BC-221BC), Shi Hu, the King of Zhao of the Jie ethnic group, used to bathe in the steam from a pool into which more than 1,000 scalding metal bars, each weighing just over 40Ib, had
36、 been plunged.As for Kubla Khan, “struck down by a disabling illness“ one day after fighting, “his attendants poured water on a scorching hot stone to make steam“ which helped him to expel a blood clot, explained the newspaper.“It is possible that the Chinese style of steaming or fuming found its wa
37、y to Finland and was eventually accepted by the Finns,“ said China Daily, suggesting that the Chinese invention could have spread to Finland when the Hun people, who originated in China, invaded Hungary in 376AD. However, a Finnish spokesman argued that saunas in Finland dated back to the Stone Age
38、and there was much more to the sauna than just a bit of steam. The fundamentals of the sauna experience included “forests, lakes, clean air and fresh water“, he said.（分数：5.00）(1).“Nothing was beyond the ancient Chinese“ (Line 1, Para.3) means _.（分数：1.00）A.ancient Chinese were capable of everythingB.
39、ancient Chinese could do very littleC.if ancient Chinese could not do it, others could not eitherD.ancient Chinese people could do everything better than Scottish people(2).The pool in which Shi Hu bathed was heated by _.（分数：1.00）A.hot stonesB.hot metal barsC.hot waterD.hot wind(3).Which of the foll
40、owing is true?（分数：1.00）A.Hungarian people invaded Finland.B.Chinese people brought the sauna to Hungary.C.The sauna was popular in Shi Hus time.D.Kubla Khan invented the sauna.(4).According to the Finnish spokesman, the major difference between the ancient Chinese saunas and the Finnish ones is that
41、 the latter _.（分数：1.00）A.used fumingB.used a natural poolC.emphasized natural environmentD.emphasized good service(5).Judging from the way the passage is written, we can see that the writer _.（分数：1.00）A.is trying to assume an objective attitudeB.is somewhat biasedC.has regarded the whole thing as a
42、jokeD.disagree with the Finnish spokesmanQuestions 56-60 are based on the following passage.Its an age-old dispute: Men are from Mars, women are from Venus. Males and females show different behaviors almost from birth. Researchers say these behaviors are due to basic differences in brain structure a
43、nd activity. Studies show men are better at hitting targets and solving math problems while women are better at memorizing words and recognizing faces. Why the differences?A test of the brains electrical activity shows that women commonly use both sides of their brain while men rely more on one. Sci
44、entists already know that the two sides of the brain control different functions-one controlling the sense of space, for example, the other controlling language. Some researchers believe that the different ways men and women use their brains evolved from ancient times, when cave men hunted and women
45、 cared for the children. Men had to have good aim. Women had to talk to the kids.Whatever be the explanation, the battle of the sexes continues. And although their brains are constructed slightly differently, men and women may be equally capable. They may simply rely on different abilities. Take a c
46、ouple arguing over the location of their car in a parking lot. The man might use his sense of space to find it, while the woman relies on her recognition of landmarks. They both find the car. But chances are that theyll still argue about whos the better driver and whos better at finding the way home
47、.（分数：5.00）(1).The first sentence means people have different ideas about whether _.（分数：1.00）A.men and women are from different planetsB.men and women dont like each otherC.there is any association between the behaviors of men and womenD.there are any association between the behaviors of men and wome
