23、ise by making more noise sounds strange, but thats exactly what motor engineers are doing in Germany and some other countries. Car makers research and development laboratories have already proved that mixing more noise with the help of loudspeakers can reduce the unwanted noise. Physicists have know

24、n about the technique for a long time. Sound is made up of pressure waves in the air. If two sound waves of the same frequency (频率 ) mix so that the highest point of one wave happens at the same time as the lowest point of the other wave, the result is no sound. Therefore, by producing a perfect cop

25、y of the noise and delaying it by half a wave cycle (周期 ), we can kill the unwanted noise. Using this technique many carmakers are racing to develop noise-killing systems (系统 ) both inside and outside the cars. Another good thing about the use of noise-killing systems is that it saves the need for a

26、 silencer; this not only reduces the weight of a car, but also makes the motor burn less fuel and work better. Some engineers believe that the noise-killing system will be used in most cars within a few years. But the carmakers havent decided if they will carry it into production because it would ad

27、d several hundred dollars to the cost of their cars. 56 Which of the following gives a general idea of how the noise-killing system works? （ A） By producing pressure waves going in the opposite direction. （ B） By mixing high frequency sound waves with low frequency sound waves. （ C） By mixing new so

28、und waves with the noise and sending them out together. （ D） By making copies of tire unwanted sound waves and letting them out a little later. 57 Besides its main use the noise-killing system can _. （ A） make a car lighter （ B） make a car quieter （ C） reduce the cost of a silencer （ D） improve the

29、performance of a silencer 58 The noise-killing system is not yet popular mainly because _. （ A） it is still being tried out （ B） drivers still have their doubts （ C） it increases the cost of car production （ D） carmakers are not sure if it is necessary 59 Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did yo

30、u ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child-or even an animal, such as a pigeon-can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted. We

31、 also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someones personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others. Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someones personality in word

32、s is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a “nice face“ looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a “nice person“, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so

33、forth. There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Allport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18 000 English words characterizing differences in peoples behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing his personality. Bookworms

34、, conservatives, military types-people are described with such terms. People have always tried to “type“ each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villains (坏人 ) or the heros role. In fact, the words “person“ and “personality“ come from the Latin

35、 persona, meaning “mask“. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the “good guys“ from the “bad guys“ because the two types differ in appearances as well as in actions. 59 According to this passage, some animals have the gift of _. （ A） telling people apart

36、by how they behave （ B） typing each other （ C） telling good people from bad people （ D） recognizing human faces 60 Who most probably knows best how to describe peoples personality? （ A） The ancient Greek audience. （ B） The movie actors. （ C） Psychologists. （ D） The modern TV audience. 61 Which of th

37、e following is the major point of the passage? （ A） Why it is necessary to identify peoples personality. （ B） Why it is possible to describe people. （ C） How to get to know people. （ D） How best to recognize people. 62 Camille and Mike Geraldi are married and live with their children near Miami, Flo

38、rida in the U.S.A. Mike is a doctor. Camille is a housewife and former nurse. They sound like an average family. In some ways they are, but in many ways they are not. Tile average family in the U.S. has two or three children. The Geraldis have seventeen children. That is not all. Fifteen of these se

39、venteen children are adopted children between the ages of one and nine. Each of the adopted children has a severe physical or mental disability (丧失能力 ).

41、 wakes up to take care of the children who need her. She almost never has a full nights sleep. Camille and Mike try to plan time for each other.

42、ldren. It makes our life full.“ Camille loves her life. She looks at other people and thinks, “What a dull life they have.“ In many ways, the Geraldis are not an average family. However, in some ways, they are. Like most families, they laugh and cry together and love each other a lot. 62 What does t
