27、a, I have been in England three months now. I hope you dont think I ve forgotten you. There have been so many places to see and so many things to do that Ive not had much time for writing letters. I shall soon be starting my studies at Kings College. So far Ive been learning about England and Britis

28、h ways of living. I wont tell you about London. There are plenty of books you can read and plenty of pictures you can look at. Im sure youll be more interested to know what I think about the life here. I find some of the customs(风俗 )new and interesting. People here do not shake hands as much as we d

29、o in Europe. During the first few weeks I was often surprised because people did not put out their hands when I met them. Men raise their hats to women but not to each other. Your s Alice 55 The writer came to London from _ . （ A） Asia （ B） Europe （ C） America （ D） Africa 56 The writer _ . （ A） has

A working laboratory model of a new system of radar that makes use of a beam of light is said to be ten thousand times more accurate tha

32、n the best comparable system of radar that uses microwaves. The model has shown that this radar system, known as laser-dopple radar, can measure with absolute precision speeds varying from spaceship orbital injection(进入 )velocities(速度 )of five miles per second down to virtual stops-speeds of less th

33、an one-thousandth of an inch per second. According to the scientists who are developing this system, such fine measures of velocity are of prime importance in space missions. In a rendezvous(对接 ) between two spaceships, or in a landing approach by a vehicle onto an orbiting space station, a bump cou

34、ld rip open a ships skin, or a nudge could knock the station out of its orbit. The light-beam radar, which operates at a frequency of trillions of cycles(百万兆 ) per second, could easily detect and measure the movement of a vehicle edging up to a satellite space station. A control system using so prec

35、ise a signal as this would allow a huge vehicle to dock at a space station as lightly as a feather. 59 Laser-dopple radar _ . （ A） measures the movement of a spaceship by means of light beam （ B） makes use of microwaves （ C） makes use of sound waves （ D） both A and B 60 Laser-dopple radar is especia

36、lly valuable in space missions because it _ . （ A） is one thousand times more precise than microwave radar （ B） provides precise measures of the velocity of space vehicles （ C） is a new system of radar （ D） can measure the movement of a spaceship less accurately than a microwave radar 61 Which of th

37、e following statements is NOT true according to the passage _ . （ A） accuracy in speed measurement is essential to spaceships （ B） the speeds of space vehicles will vary greatly （ C） inaccuracies in measurement could cause accidents in space missions （ D） a bump could affect the preciseness of the l

38、aser-dopple radar 62 Implied but not stated _ . （ A） Laser-dopple radar is more accurate than microwave radar （ B） Microwave radar may not ensure absolute precision in measuring varying speeds （ C） The light-beam radar can measure only slow speeds with accuracy （ D） Microwave radar operates at a hig

39、her frequency than laser-dopple radar 63 For sometime past it has been widely accepted that babiesand other creatureslearn to do things because certain acts lead to “rewards“; and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective rewards, at least i

40、n the early stages, had to be directly related to such basic physiological “drives“ as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink or some sort of physical comfort, no otherwise. It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce re

41、sults in the world with no reward except the successful outcome. Papousek began his studies by using milk in normal way to“ reward“ the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had enough to drink

42、would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the childrens responses in situations where no milk was provided. He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the

43、movement “switched on“ a display of lightsand indeed that they were capable of learning quite complex turns to bring about this result, for instance, two left or two right, or even to make as many as three turns to one side. Papouseks light display was placed directly in front of the babies and he m

44、ade the interesting observation that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the lights closely although they would “smile and bubble“ when the display came on. Papousek concluded that it was not primarily the sight of the lights which pleased them, it was the success they were achieving in solv

45、ing the problem, in mastering the skill, and that there exists a fundamental human urge to make sense of the world and bring it under intentional control. 63 According to the author, babies learn to do things which _ . （ A） will satisfy their curiosity （ B） will meet their physical needs （ C） are di

46、rectly related to pleasure （ D） will bring them a feeling of success 64 In Papouseks experiment babies make learned movements of the head in order to _ . （ A） be praised （ B） please their parents （ C） be rewarded with milk （ D） have the lights turned on 65 The babies Would “smile and bubble“ at the

47、lights because _ . （ A） they succeeded in “switching on“ the light （ B） the sight of the lights was interesting （ C） they need not turn back to watch the lights （ D） the lights were directly related to some basic“ drives“ 66 According to Papousek, the pleasure babies get in achieving something is a

48、reflection of _ . （ A） the satisfaction of certain physiological needs （ B） their strong desire to solve complex problems （ C） a basic human desire to understand and control the world （ D） a fundamental human urge to display their learned skills 67 The difference between a liquid and a gas is obviou

49、s under the conditions of temperature and pressure commonly found at the surface of the Earth. A liquid can be kept in an open container and fill it to the level of a free surface. A gas forms no free surface but tends to diffuse(扩散 )throughout the space available; it must therefore be kept in a closed container or held by a gravitational field, as in the case of a planets atmosphere.
