He looked around and saw lots of kids being 39 for cancer and decided he could help them by helping the hospital, which was trying to 40 money for bone-marrow(骨髓)transplant.But how? Since Kyle’s grandfather was in the printing business, he 41 bring decorative cards for Kyle, who 42 with the idea of selling them 43 . He made a large sum of momey-$80-for the hospital. His next 44 was a candy sale at this school, Palmetto Elementary, and it has turned into an annual 45 .And then people in Miami read about his efforts and were inspired to 46 to donate more money and toys, and things just snowballed.Within a year Kyle’s idea turned into an official fund-raising organization called Kids That Care Cancer Fund.

These ancestors, known variously as the absket makers, the Ancient ones, had lived in the area for at least 2000 years. Theey were an advanced agricultura people who used irrigation to help grow their drops.The Anasazi lived in houses constructed of earth and wood. Anasazi houses were originally built underground and were entered from the roof. But around the year 700 A. D., the Anasazi began to build their homes above ground and join them together into multistoried complexes, which the Spanish called villages. Separate underground rooms in these villages—known as kivas or holy places—were set aside for religious ceremonies. Each kiva had a fireplace and a hole that was believed to lead to te underworld. The largest villages had five stories and jore than 800 rooms.The Anasazi family was ruled by women. The sacred objects of te family were under the control of the oldest female, but the actual ceremonies were conducted by her broter or son. Women owned the rooms in thevillage and the crops, once they were harvested. While still growing, crops belonged to the men who, in contrast to most other Native American groups, planted them. The women made baskets and pottery; the men wove cloth and made jewelry.Each village had two chiefs. The village chief dealt with land arguments and religious affairs. The war chief led the menin fighting during occasional conflicts that broke out with neithboring villages and directed the men in commnity building projects. The pokitical and social organization of the Anasazi made it almost impossible for oter groups to conquer them.64. The Anasazi people were considered agriculturally advanced because of the way they ______ .A. stored their cropsB. harvested their cropsC. watered their cropsD. planted their fields65. Who would have been most likely to control the sacred objects of an Anasazi family?A. A 20- year – old manB. A 20- year – old womanC. A 50- year – old manD. A 50- year – old woman66. What can we infer from the passage?A. The presence of the Spanish destroyed Anasazi society.B. The Anasazi benefited from trading relations with the Spanish.C. Anasazi society exhibited a clear division of labor.D.Conflicts between neighboring Anasazi villages were easily solved.DThe brain of an insect isn’t very big. But insects are someow still able to make lots of important decisions. Bees, ants and roaches(蟑螂) build hives(巢穴)with thousands of workers doing specialized work. The jobs are done without a head or even a plan. How do insects manage this?To solve the mystery, scientists in Belgium spent months building robotic roaches and then putting them among real roaches. The final goal of the research is to find out how the simple behavior of individuals gives rise to a collective decision. The roach is a good starting point for trying to answer the big question because its social system is simple enough for scientists to study.The first step was to build robots tat real roaches would accept as their own. Although the robotic roaches don’t look much like the real thing, they have similarities with them in three key ways: they naturally head toward dark areas, they are influenced by the beavior of other roaches, and even more importantly, they smell like roaches.The nest step was getting the robotic and real roaches t work together on common tasks. In experiments, the robots would collectively head towars a dark place, copying the behavior of natural roaches. That got the researchers wondering: if you program te robotic roaches to go woward the lighted place, would the real roaches follow, going against their natural instincts.(本能) ?They will –it turned out. Many of the real roaches followed the robots to a lighter shelter. But influence turned out to be a two- way street. On occasion, the real roaches were able to override the programming of the fobot roaches and get them to turn into dark hiding places. Being social creatures, both the robotic and natural roaches were paying attention to and following the example set by others.In theory, it would be possible to create a robot that could influence collective decision-making in humans. To do this, researchers would have to invent a robot that people would accept. Fortunately, the technology isn’t there yet.67. Why do scientists choose the roaches to study?A. They are social creaturesB.Their social system is simple.C.They are able to build their hives quite well.D. It is easy to create robotic ones.68. The robotic roaches are accepted by real ones because of ll of the following EXCEPT that _________________ .A. they smell like real onesB. they look exactly like real onesC. what they do are somewhat influenced by other roachesD. they naturally head toward dark areas69. What’s the author’s attitude to creating a fobot that would influence collective decision- making in humans?A. UninterestedB. PositiveC. NegativeD. Doubtful70. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage ?A. Robotic RoachesB. Scientists’ ResearchC. Amazing InsectsD.
