8、e are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are
9、born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before the World War I we spent our summer h
10、olidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal-clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and, above
11、all, the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm bas led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other peoples observations and discoveries. Then someth
12、ing happens that burning these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the fiddle (迷), because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honour with the title of scientific research.But curiosi
13、ty, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist requires not only self-discipline but hard training, determination and a goal. A scientist, up
14、to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.21 The first paragraph tells us that the author _.（A）was intersted in flowers and insects in his childhood（B） lost his hearing when he was a child（C） didnt like his brothers and sisters（D）was b
15、orn to a naturalists family 22 The author cant remember his relatives clearly because _.（A）he didnt live very long with them（B） the family was extremely large（C） he was too young when he lived with them（D）he was fully occupied with observing nature 23 It can be inferred from the passage that the aut
16、hor was _.（A）a scientist as well as a naturalist（B） a naturalist but not a scientist（C） no more than a born naturalist（D）first of all a scientist 24 According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be _.（A）full of ambition（B） knowledge（C） full of enthusiasm（D）self-disciplined 24 Sporti
17、ng activities are essentially modified forms of hunting behaviour. Viewed biologically, the modern footballer is in reality a member of a hunting group. His killing weapon has turned into a harmless football and his prey into a goal-mouth. If his aim is accurate and he scores a goal, he enjoys the h
18、unters triumph of killing his prey.To understand how this transformation has taken place we must briefly look back at our forefathers. They spent over a million years evolving as cooperative hunters. Their very survival depended on success in tie hunting-field. Under this pressure their whole way of
19、 life, even their bodies, became greatly changed. They became chasers, runners, jumpers, aimers, throwers and prey-killers. They cooperated as skillful male-group attackers.Then about ten thousand years ago, after this immensely long period of hunting their food, they became farmers. Their improved
20、intelligence, so vital to their old hunting life, was put to a new usethat of controlling and domesticating their prey. The hunting became suddenly out of date. The food was there on the farms, awaiting their needs. The risks and uncertainties of the hunting were no longer essential for survival.The
21、 skills and thirst for hunting remained, however, and demanded new outlets. Hunting for sport replaced hunting for necessity. This new activity involved all the original hunting sequences but the aim of the operation was no longer to avoid starvation. Instead the sportsmen set off to test their skil
22、l against prey that were no longer essential to their survival. To be sure, the kill may have been eaten but there were other much simpler ways of obtaining a meaty meal.25 The author believes that sporting activities.（A）are forms of biological development（B） have actually developed from hunting（C）
23、are essentially forms of taming the prey（D）have changed the ways of hunting 26 In a football game what is equal to the prey in hunting is _.（A）any member of the opposing team（B） the goal-mouth（C） the goal keeper（D）the football 27 For over a million years, our forefathers were basically, _.（A）success
24、ful farmers（B） co-operating hunters（C） runners and jumpers（D）skillful sportsmen 28 The word “operation“ (Line 3, Para. 4) refers to _.（A）sports activities（B） hunting（C） prey killing（D）domesticating animals 28 If women are mercilessly exploited (剥削) year after year, they are only themselves to blame.
25、 Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it,
26、only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe (衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been w
27、orn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; necklines are lowered or raised, and so on.No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashi
28、on desihners are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用). They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look fight. There can hardly be a man who hasnt at so
29、me time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashion of womens cl
30、othes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be treated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualifies of stabililty and feasibility? Thats for you to decide.29 Designers and big stores always make
31、 money _.（A）by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry（B） because they are capable of predicting new fashions（C） by constantly changing the fashion in women s clothing（D）because they attach great importance to quality in womens clothing 30 To the writer, the fact that women alt
32、er their old-fashion dress is seen as _.（A）a waste of money（B） a waste of time（C） an expression of taste（D）an expression of creativity 31 The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the _ of clothing.（A）cost（B） appearance（C） comfort（D）suitability 32 According to the
33、passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?（A）New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.（B） The constant changes in womens clothing reflect their strength of character.（C） The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.（D）Fashion designers
34、 should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women. 32 Climate, more than any other single factor, determines the distribution of life on earth. Climatic boundaries establish the limits which organisms can survive. Plants, even more than animals, must be well adapted to climate in order
35、 to survive. They cannot move about or take shelter but must be equipped to endure whatever weather conditions are likely to occur. In the harsh conditions of the tundra, for example, low growing mosses, lichens, and a few flowering plants all hug the ground for shelter from icy winds.Animals, despi
36、te their ability to move about and find shelter, are just as much influenced by climate as plants are. Creatures such as the camel and the penguin are so highly specialized that they have an extremely limited distribution. Others, such as bears are flexible enough to adapt to a broad range of climat
37、es. Oceandwelling organisms are just as sensitive to climatic changesin this case temperature and salinityas land animals. Reef corals can survive only in clear warm seawater. Certain foraminifers are so sensitive to changes in their environment that their presence can be taken as an index of sea te
38、mperature. Human beings are among the least specialized of all animals and can live almost anywhere. Their clothes and their homes act as a sort of “miniature climate“ that can be taken with them everywhere. 33 According to the passage, plants on the tundra grow in the ground _.（A）to avoid being eat
39、en by arctic animals（B） because fertilizer is not readily available（C） to minimize exposure to the cold（D）because unfrozen water supplies are very scarce 34 According to the passage, which of the following can be found in areas with quite different climatic conditions on Earth?（A）Reef corals.（B） Pen
40、guins.（C） Bears.（D）Camels. 35 It can be inferred from the passage that foraminifers are a _.（A）kind of weather pattern（B） form of sea life（C） species of tundra plant（D）type of miniature penguin 36 According to the passage, human beings can survive almost everywhere on earth because _.（A）they have de
41、veloped advanced forms of transportation（B） they have learned how to process sea water for drinking（C） their body temperature can vary considerably（D）their shelters and clothes help them to adapt themselves to the environment 36 To understand the marketing concept, it is only necessary to understand
42、 the difference between marketing and selling. Not too many years ago, most industries concentrated primarily on the efficient production of goods, and then relied on “Persuasive salesmanship“ to move as much of these goods as possible. Such production and selling focuses on the needs of the seller
43、to produce goods and then convert them into money.Marketing, on the other hand, focuses on the wants of consumers. It begins with first analyzing the preferences and demands of consumers and then producing goods that will satisfy them. This eye on the consumer approach is known as the marketing conc
44、ept, which simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce or buy for resale, the makers and dealers first try to find out what the consumer wants to buy and then go about making it according to consumer demand.This concept does not imply that consumer satisfaction is give
45、n priority over profit in a company. There are always two sides to every business activitythe firm and the customerand each must be satisfied before trade occurs. Successful merchants and producers, however, recognize that the surest route to profit is through understanding customers. This concept h
46、as been recognized in such slogans as “Have It Your Way.“ And “Youre the Boss.“ A good example of the importance of satisfying the consumer presented it self in mid-1985, when Coca Cola changed the flavor of its drink. The non-acceptance of the new flavor by a significant portion of the public broug
47、ht about a quick restoration of the Classic Coke, which was then marketed alongside the new King Customer ruled! 37 A good knowledge of the difference between marketing and selling leads to _.（A）the efficient production of goods（B） a perfect command of salesmanship（C） a basic command of the marketin
