She got 36 and took good care of them. 37 ,a few days later,both chickens died. She burst into tears from 38 I helped her 39 the two birds under a tre

19、e behind our house. I thought it would be the 40 of her ideas. 41 I was wrong,children are children 42 The failure hasnt 43 my daughter in any way. She still tried to keep a small animal or even a snail. One day last winter,I noticed under the eaves(屋檐 )of the house a family of sparrows. My daughter

20、 and I could 44 the sparrows as our“pets“,but we didnt. So I told her to 45 the grains on the windowsill. A few minutes later,the sparrows came to land on the windowsill 46 and pecked at the rice. Suddenly my daughter asked me,“Mum, can we catch and 47 the sparrows, and let them live with us in the

21、room? How 48 it is for them to live outside?“ “Oh,my dear,I do not think its a good idea. You know,“I explained to her,“the sparrow is a bird who loves 49 . No one can keep them in a cage. If they are caught ,they will 50 quickly. They are 51 to living outside. Moreover, they have warm nest under th

22、e leaves. “ From then on,we have set up a kind of 52 with the sparrow family. We feed them frequently and 53 them as pet birds. However,we do not need to 54 them. We 55 seeing these little birds flying and jumping among branches,leaves and flowers in the spring mornings. （ A） exciting （ B） excited （

Cultural, historical, biological and environmental events have interacted to cause frogs, for example, to be viewed as delicious in souther

27、n China but to be regarded with revulsion (厌恶 ) in northern China. Even though much remains unknown, tastes cannot be dismissed as inarguable or illogical; an attempt will be made here to discover why, as Lucretius put it, “What is food to one man may be fierce poison to others?“ Among the approxima

28、tely thirty million tribal people of India, a total of 250 animal species are avoided by one group or another. Most of these people will not eat meat from a tiger or any of various snakes. Although they say they feel a relationship with these animals, it is obvious that both are highly dangerous and

29、 that hunting them systematically would be foolish. Monkeys are avoided, probably because they look like human beings in appearance; in these tribes, man-eating is viewed as extremely cruel. A reluctance to eat some female animals has been attributed to respect for the mothers role, but it could als

30、o be due to a policy of allowing the females to reproduce and provide more young for people. Many tribes avoid eating any animal that has died of unknown causes, an intelligent attitude in view of the possibility that the animal might have died from a disease that could spread to humans. Animals tha

31、t consume garbage are similarly avoided, an adaptive step that prevents contact with para-sites (寄生虫 ), and that might explain why members of one tribe eat any of twenty-one different species of rats, but not the house rat. 56 “There is no arguing about taste“,which means_. （ A） people dont like to

32、talk about food （ B） ones taste in food is hard to explain （ C） there is no quarrelling about what to eat （ D） no arguments about taste have been heard of before 57 It can be concluded from the first paragraph that_. （ A） the author is against eating frogs （ B） taste is illogical and inarguable （ C）

33、 some types of frogs are poisonous （ D） taste is influenced by many factors 58 The tribal people in India dont eat snakes because_. （ A） they are very dangerous （ B） they are respected by Indians （ C） they may spread disease （ D） they help kill rats 59 The tribal people in India may not eat the foll

34、owing animals EXCEPT_. （ A） donkeys （ B） tigers （ C） female deer （ D） house rats 59 Everyone talks about the “five “senses of man. And it is true that we get our information about the outside world from our sense of sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste. Researchers tell us that sense of sight our

35、visual(视觉的 )sense gives us up to 80% of what we know about the world outside our bodies; while the other senses, the auditory(hearing), the olfactory (smell), the tactile(touch) , and the gustatory(taste) bring into our brains information about the other twenty percent of what is happening. But ther

36、e are two other senses that we cannot get along without it, though they are seldom noticed. These are the sense of balance, without which we would act like a drunk man after a heavy drink, and the kinesthetic(运动觉的 ) sense, which gives us our ideas about our own motion(行动 ). 60 The senses of hearing,

37、 smell, touch and taste supply us with_. （ A） about 80% of our information about the world （ B） about half of our information about the world （ C） about 20% of our information about the world （ D） all the needed information about the world 61 According to the passage, one misses most about the world

38、 when one_. （ A） is blind （ B） is deaf （ C） has no sense of taste and touch （ D） has no sense of balance and motion 62 We know our own movements as a result of_. （ A） the sense of balance （ B） the visual sense （ C） the five senses （ D） the kinesthetic sense 63 Drinking too much might affect ones_. （

39、 A） visual sense （ B） sense of balance （ C） kinesthetic sense （ D） sense of hearing 63 A new kind of radar has been developed for spaceship travelers. 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 than the best co

40、mparable system of radar that uses microwaves. The model has shown that this radar system, known as laser-doppler 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 than one ten

41、-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 (对待 ) between two spaceships, or in a landing approach by a vehicle onto an orbiting space station, a bump could ri

42、p 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 vehicles edging up to a satellite space station. A control system using so precise a s

43、ignal as this would allow a huge vehicle to dock at a space station as lightly as a feather. 64 Laser-doppler radar_. （ A） measures the movement of a spaceship by means of light beams （ B） makes use of microwaves （ C） makes use of sound waves （ D） both A and B 65 Laser-doppler radar is especially va

44、luable in space missions because_. （ A） it is one thousand times more precise than microwave radar （ B） it provides precise measures of the velocity of space vehicles （ C） it is a new system of radar （ D） it can measure the movement of a spaceship less accurately than a microwave radar 66 Which of t

45、he 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 la

46、ser-doppler radar 67 It is implied but not stated in the passage that_. （ A） Laser-doppler 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） Microwav

47、e radar operates at a higher frequency than laser-doppler radar 67 Whether there are sailors who sail without charts(航海图 )is doubtful, but there certainly are travellers who prefer to journey with no map to guide them, and readers who are contemptuous of books about books. They gain no profit, they

48、say, by looking at things through the eyes of others. But this impromptu(无法准备 ) ,uninstructed way of grasping at masterpieces(杰作 ) in spontaneous(自发的 )leaps of feeling is but a poor way of learning how to enjoy them. The first surprise and flush of prompt delight is, of course, of great perhaps the

49、greatest value; but a true appreciation is based on something more than feeling; it demands that we should not only enjoy, but understand our pleasure, and make it food for thought; should learn the esthetics reasons for it, and learn also all we can learn about the origins and environments of the monuments and masterpieces we gaze on. To understand them we must know their place in history, and their relative position among othe
