Dr. Aiken

10、 studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years. Each couple provided four photographsone photo of each partner at the time of their marriage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later. All background was cut from the photos to remove any clues

11、. The photos were then displayed in groups: a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later. Some testees were asked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first group. Their judgments were no b

12、etter than chance. But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage, the testees were quite successful in deciding who was married to whom. They were particularly successful with the most happily-married couples. Dr. Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow ali

13、ke. One reason has something to do with imitation. One person tends to copy or do the same as someone else without knowing it. He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the faces of their loved ones. Another possible reason, he says, is the common experience of the couples. There is a tende

14、ncy for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways. For example, if a couple suffered from a lot of sad experiences, their faces are likely to change in a similar way. 11 The main purpose of the passage is to_. （ A） tell how couples like each other （ B） show the l

15、ife experience of husband and wife （ C） explain why couples grow alike （ D） describe the study on a number of married people 12 In the testing, Dr. Aiken cut the background from those photos for the purpose of_. （ A） grouping those couples again （ B） leaving no trace for the testees （ C） imitating t

19、 to consume is alcohol. Because alcohol is delivered quickly into the blood and passes quickly into the tissues and membranes, the human fetus(胎儿 )is particularly vulnerable to its effects. In fact, the negative effects on a fetus are so pronounced that babies born after exposure to alcohol are said

20、 to be suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome. As a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, the alcohol is passed into her bloodstream almost simultaneously. Moreover, because the bloodstream of a fetus is inextricably tied to that of the mother, the alcohol passes directly into the bloodstream of the fetus a

21、s well. And, what is more, the concentration of alcohol in the fetus is exactly the same as in the mother. For the mother, this concentration is not a problem because her liver can remove one ounce of alcohol from her system per hour. However, the fetuss liver is not completely developed. The rate a

22、t which it is able to eliminate the alcohol from the blood of the fetus is much slower. Eventually, the alcohol will be returned to the mother s system by passing across the placenta(胎盘 ), but this process is slow. By the time this takes place, major neurological damage may have already occurred. Re

23、search has shown that little as one drink of alcohol can produce significant, irreversible damage to fetus. Babies born after exposure to alcohol generally exhibit facial distortion, inability to concentrate and difficulty in remembering. Simply speaking, it is imperative that pregnant women avoid a

26、） The concentration is more. （ B） The concentration is less. （ C） The concentration is the same. （ D） The concentration cannot be measured. 20 According to the passage, how is alcohol finally returned to the mother s system? （ A） It is carried through the bloodstream. （ B） It is transferred across t

27、he placenta. （ C） It is expelled by the fetus s liver. （ D） It is not completely returned. 20 Humans may not have landed on Mars(火星 )just yet, but that isn t stopping a European company from devising a plan to send four people to the Red Planet within the next few years. This project, called Mars On

28、e, aims to send a small group of people to Mars in 2022 and eventually establish a permanent colony on the planet. “ Everything we need to go to Mars exists,“ said Mars One co-founder Bas Lansdorp in March 2014. “We have the rockets to send people to Mars, the equipment to land on Mars, the robots t

29、o prepare the settlement for humans. For a one-way mission, all the technology exists. “ Yet the four astronauts(宇航员 )chosen for the trip will be stuck on Marsforever. And despite Mars One s thorough planning, there are a number of challenges that may prevent the mission from ever taking place. The

30、biggest road block could be the mission s huge cost($6 billion). However, Lansdorp is confident that Mars One will be able to fund the project by selling the broadcast rights for the mission and subsequent experiences living on the planet. Those broadcast rights will also play a part in helping to s

31、elect the people who will be sent to Mars. Lansdorp said the company will hold a selection process similar t6 a reality show. Lansdorp is expecting at least 1 million applications from people around the world. In addition to the cost, several other potential problems could inhibit(阻止 )the mission to

32、 Mars. “It s even more challenging to send people there with life support, with food, with air, with all the other things like books, entertainment, means of communication and means of providing for their own resources for a long stay on Mars,“ said Adam Baker, senior lecturer in space engineering a

33、t Kingston University in London. “The sheer size of the rockets you d need to do this would be absolutely colossal. “ 21 According to Project Mars One, humans could send four people to Mars within the next _years. （ A） seven （ B） eight （ C） ten （ D） six 22 According to Bas Lansdorp, which of the fol

Now, under his leadership, the city is preparing to end the ban. It

38、will be replaced by a policy that allows phones inside schools but tells students to keep them packed away during class. Many schools have a rule about enforcing the ban that says, “If we dont see it, we dont know about it. “ That means teachers are OK with students bringing in cell phones, as long

39、as they stay out of sight and inside bags and pockets. But at the 88 city schools with metal detectors, the ban has been strictly enforced. The detectors were installed to keep weapons out of schools, but the scanners(扫描器 )can also detect cell phones. So students at these schools must leave their ph

40、ones at home or pay someone to store it for them. The ban was put into place in 2007 under mayor Michael Bloomberg. Ending the ban will also likely end an industry that has sprung up near dozens of the schools that enforce the ban. Workers in vans(厢式货车 )that resemble food trucks store teens cell pho

41、nes and other devices for a dollar a day. Critics of the ban say cell phones are important safety devices for kids during an emergency. They also say that enforcement of the ban is uneven and discriminatory. Where the ban is enforced, it puts a disadvantage on students who cant afford to pay to stor

42、e their phones. Before putting an official end to the cell-phone ban, city education officials are working on creating a new policy. It will include rules about not using the phones during class or to cheat on tests. 26 Which of the following is the main idea of the passage? （ A） New York City will

43、give financial aid to poor students. （ B） New York City plans to restrict cell phone use in libraries. （ C） New York City plans to install metal detectors in all public schools. （ D） New York City will soon end a ban on cell phones in schools. 27 Students pay_a day to leave their cell phones in a va

44、n parked near their school. （ A） a dollars （ B） two dollars （ C） five dollars （ D） ten dollars 28 Metal detectors were installed in 88 city schools, mainly to keep_out of schools. （ A） cell phones （ B） weapons （ C） alcohol （ D） drugs 29 The word discriminatory in Paragraph 5 probably means_. （ A） ne

46、to place in 2008 under Mayor Bill de Blasio. （ D） A phone-storage industry has appeared outside the 88 metal-detector campuses. 三、 Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%) Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences.
