15、ading Comprehens(总题数：0，分数：0.00)Animals have different ways of protecting themselves against wintertime weather. Some animals grow heavy coats of fur or feathers, while others dig into the ground to find a warm wintertime home. Some animals spend the winter in a deep sleep because by going to sleep t

16、hey avoid the time of the year when food is scarce and the temperatures are low. Their sleep is known as hibernation. There is much about hibernation that puzzles scientists. For example, they are wondering how hibernation came into being. Some scientists have explored the possibility that animals r

17、elease a chemical that starts them hibernating. One thing that scientists are certain about is that animals hibernate only when it is cold. Hibernation is a seasonal practice. Some animals that fall into a wintertime sleep are not true hibernators because they spend only a part of the cold season as

18、leep. Bears, for example, can easily be awakened from their winter nap. They are not true hibernators. Sometimes it is difficult to determine whether a particular animal is a true hibernator. For example, some mice hibernate, but others do not. The same is true of bats. Some of them hibernate. Other

In such

22、 a case it“s hard to know what to do. You don“t want to he so obvious in your efforts that you make an enemy of him. A friend of mine had this problem and handled it in the most tactful (得体的) way I“ve ever seen. Instead of telling her admirer directly, she devoted herself to introducing him to every

23、 girl she knew. Whenever she had a date with him, she arranged to drop in at the home of one of her girl friends. At last he clicked (一见如故) with one of these girls, and then everyone was happy. My friend was rid of a problem and she still had the young man as a friend, which was just what she wanted

24、 him to be. Of course this solution may not work for you. You may have your own way of dealing with the problem. But whatever you decide to do, keep one thing in mind-the boy in question has feelings every bit as sensitive as your own. So try to find a way of discouraging him without hurting him.（分数

28、 hurting his feelingsAmerica put more people in prison in the 1990s than in any decade in its history. That started a debate over the wisdom of spending billions of dollars to keep nearly 2 million people locked up. According to statistics, the United States ends 1999 with 1983084 men and women in p

29、risons. That shows an increase of nearly 840,000 prisoners during the 1990s and makes the United States the country with the highest prisoner population in the world. With the cost of housing a prisoner at about 20,000 a year the cost in 1999 for keeping all these prisoners behind bars is about 39 b

30、illion. Some experts argue that the money is well spent, saying the cost of keeping prisoners behind bars doesn“t seem much in comparison in the 1990s coincided with (与相一致) a steady drop in the US crime rates. It is reported that serious crime has decreased for seven years in a row. “There are notic

35、 to Egypt before. We want to make everyone comfortable and at ease, but we do always get the same questions in advance of a trip. So here I will give you some travel tips. What should I wear? If you“re lucky enough to visit Egypt between November and February, pack a sweater. You“ll need it the dese

36、rt gets chilly at night. During the day, the temperature will be agreeable and comfortable. Any other time, pack as if you“re going to Phoenix or Vegas in August.

37、, after all.

What special things do I need to pack? One of my favorite things in the worl

38、d to bring to Egypt is an Evian Mister, a sprayer with a fine mist of Evian water. You may be able to find it in your local drug store. Spray a little on your face or head, and your body temperature will feel like it“s dropped 10 or 15 degrees. Other items include your camera, sun block and extra ba

39、tteries. How do I communicate with home? Internet cafes are plentiful everywhere, especially in Cairo, Luxor, and Alexandria. If you have international calling on your phone, you should be able to use it AT the sun gives us as much energy every miunte as mankind utilizes in a year. At present, we us

40、e this energy indirectly, and it is our final source of power. Coal represents the chemical action of the sun on green plants thousands of years ago. Water power results from the rain formed by vapor which comes from the evaporation of water under the sunshine. Even windmills operate because of air

41、currents set in motion by the different heating affects of the sun in different places. Some day, through chemistry or some type of solar engine, we shall harness this great source of energy more directly. Already a scientist has worked out an engine, surprisingly efficient, in which the sun“s rays

42、are concentrated through mirrors on a tube of water to create steam.（分数：12.00）(1).How much energy given off by the sun reaches the earth?（分数：3.00）A.100% but indirectly.B.5%.C.50%.D.only a very tiny amount.(2).Which of the following statements is NOT true?（分数：3.00）A.Even windmill“s action depends on

43、the sun.B.The sun produces enormous energy for man to make use of.C.Some day man will be able to utilize 100% of the solar energy that gets to the earth.D.The sun produces different heating effects in different places.(3).In order to support this argument, the writer gives the example that _.（分数：3.0

44、0）A.a machine using solar energy efficiently has already been developedB.the sun is our final source of powerC.man uses only a tiny part of the sun“s energyD.the part of the sun“s energy we use is used indirectly(4).This passage centers mainly on _.（分数：3.00）A.harnessing energy through chemistryB.our

45、 last source of powerC.how water power is producedD.the amount of solar energy that can be utilizedWhatever you do, don“t challenge a chimpanzee named Ayumu to a number memory game. In 2007, Ayumu became famous for his lightning speed at a game that goes like this: A player views a computer screen w

46、here the numbers 1 through 9 appear briefly at once and then turn to white squares. The player then taps the squares where the numbers had been, in order from 1 to 9. People can do it. But no human competitor has ever completed the game faster or more accurately than Ayumu the chimp. For almost five

47、 years Ayumu remains undefeated. Psychologist Nicholas Humphrey of Darwin College at Cambridge University in England now thinks he knows the secret behind the chimp“s ability. Humphrey suspects Ayumu“s brain may have a condition that allows the chimp to see numbers as colors. This would mean that Ay

48、umu may see a color glow after the number disappears. Then, instead of remembering the numbers, he remembers a sequence of colors, each associated with a number. The condition that Humphrey believes Ayumu may have is called synesthesia. Humans with synesthesia may associate numbers and letters with

49、colors. For example, a person may see the number “5“ as the color blue. Until now, scientists had assumed only humans could have synesthesia. Humphrey found the inspiration for his idea at a 2011 scientific conference. There, he heard a presentation about Ayumu“s memory abilities and another talk about synesthesia. He then put the two ideas together. Not everyone is convinced that Humphrey is correct. Primatologist Tetsuro Matsuzawa of the Primate Research Institute at Kyoto University in Japa
