The exact amount people suggest vales. US-based advice 3 eight glasses a day, while in
13、hotter climates people are advised to drink more to 4 higher rates of sweating. But regardless of the exact volume of water suggested, the principle behind the advice remains the sametaking extra water on board wilt keep your skin hydrated. In other words, water acts like a moisturiser, but from the
14、 inside out. This is such a common idea you might be surprised at the 5 to back up. You might expect there to be countless studies where people are 6 two groups, one assigned to sip water all day, the other to drink a normal amount. Then the smoothness of the skin could be 7 a month or so later to e
15、stablish whether sipping more led to smoother skin. In fact such studies are rare, partly because water can“t be patented, so it is hard to find anyone to fund such research when there will be no new 8 or cosmetic to sell that could repay the costs. A review by the dermatologist Ronni Wolf at the Ka
16、plan Medical Centre in Israel found just one study looking at the effect of long-term water intake on the skin. But the results were 9 . After four weeks, the group who drank extra mineral water showed a decrease in skin density, which some believe suggests the skin is retaining more moisture, while
17、 those who drank tap water showed an increase in skin density.

Management consultant Robert E. Br
27、own explains what shaking hands is all about in his book The Art, the Power, the Magic: How to Read Hands that Talk. For example, to do the “All-American Handshake“, you have to look into another person“s eyes, grasp his or her whole hand, and pump it two or three times. According to Brown, this is
28、the hand-shake of a good listener and trustworthy person. Politicians and salespeople often use the “Two-Handed Shake“ because it“s extra-friendly. Two-handed shakers put their left hand on the other person“s arm or shoulder as they shake hands. This can feel too friendly to some people, so it“s bes
29、t to use it with good friends. Watch out for people with handshakes that pull your fingers, or twist and crush your hand. If you get one of these handshakes, the person is trying to intimidate you. Two more uncomfortable handshakes are the “Palm Pinch“ and the “Dead Fish“. A Palm Pincher shakes your
30、 hand with only a few fingers. In the Dead Fish shake, the person“s hand slides out of the handshake. It“s possible that the people with these handshakes are embarrassed or shy. （分数：5.00）(1).There are three kinds of handshakes mentioned in the passage.（分数：1.00）A.正确B.错误(2).The Art, the Power, the Mag

In Asia, for example, birds and other animals are thought t
33、o play a role in taking these baby teeth. In the West, though, a fairy is thought to visit. In all cases, it is considered lucky for the animal or fairy to take the offered tooth. （分数：10.00）十三、Section C(总题数：1，分数：10.00)There are cockroaches (蟑螂) everywhere on Earth except the places that are covered
34、with ice. Scientists have discovered about 3,500 different species of cockroach. There is just one human species! Cockroaches can be anything in size from about five mm to nine cm. Although five mm is very small, nine cm is as long as a large rat. It is very difficult to catch most cockroaches. They
35、 “see“ with the hairs on their bodies. These hairs can feel the smallest movement in the air, so the cockroaches know immediately something moves, and run to safety. Of all the species of cockroach, fortunately only three live among humans and are a serious problem. They are the German, the Oriental
36、, and the American. One egg case of the German cockroach can produce as many as seven million cockroaches in 12 months! Our main problem with cockroaches is that not only do they look ugly to us, but they also carry diseases. They are particularly dangerous in hospitals as they eat all kinds of hosp
37、ital waste or get it on their bodies. They can then carry this waste, which may contain dangerous bacteria, on to food which is then eaten by people in the hospital. Most of the bacteria that cause food poisoning have been found in the stomachs of cockroaches, so it is important that cockroaches sho
38、uld be kept out of restaurants and other places where food is prepared. Many people work and try to destroy cockroaches, but as soon as they find one way of doing it, the cockroaches “learn“ how to deal with it. Electricity does not always kill them and they can avoid most poisons or “learn“ how to
39、deal with others. At one time, scientists thought that radiation would kill them, but they have been on Earth for about 300 million years, and it does not harm them as much as it does us. It seems probable that when there are no longer human beings living on the Earth, cockroaches will still be here
40、. Answer the following questions according to the passage.（分数：10.00）(1).How cockroaches “see“?（分数：2.00）(2).Why cockroaches are particularly dangerous in hospitals?（分数：2.00）(3).Why should cockroaches be kept out of restaurants and other places where food is prepared?（分数：2.00）(4).What are the three sp
41、ecies of cockroaches living among us?（分数：2.00）(5).Why is it difficult to destroy cockroaches?（分数：2.00）十四、Section D(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Certain birds are, more often than not, considered bad luck, or even frightening, a sign of impending death. All over the world, both crows and ravens (乌鸦) have some conn
42、ection with war and death. In early times, crows and ravens were thought to accompany the gods of war, or be signs of their imminent arrival in an area. Later, this belief became more general, and these birds, crows more particularly, were thought to be harbingers (预兆) of ill fortune or, in some cas
43、es, guides to the afterlife. Woe be it to the person who saw a single crow or raven flying overhead, for this most certainly was a portent of death in the near future. Interestingly, though potentially bad luck for people individually, the raven is considered to be good luck for the crown of England
44、. So much so, in fact, that a “raven master“ is even today an actual government position in the Tower of London. He takes care of the ravens there and also clips their wings, ensuring that these birds can never fly far from the seat of the British government. This way, the kingdom will never fall to
45、 ill fortune. （分数：10.00）十五、Part Translation(总题数：0，分数：0.00)16.Basically, a robot is any machine that performs work or other actions normally done by humans. Most robots are used in factories to make products such as cars and electronics. Others are used to explore underwater, in volcanoes and even on
46、 other planets. Robots consist of three main components: a brain, which is usually a computer; actuators and mechanical parts such as motors, wheels and gears; and sensors for detecting images, sound, temperature, motion and light. With these basic components, robots can interact with their environm
