We also had to wait for some considerable time before the menu was brought to us.I trust you will give this complaint your prompt attention as the whole embarrassing incident was a great disappointment to our guests and set a bad example to our English hospitality.

A native of western North America, one nutcracker makes 100 to 200 separate caches every day in the fall and winter.When spring arrives, the bird returns to these caches to eat the seeds.Dr. Sherry says that months after burying the seeds, the birds remember exactly where they stored them. They fly directly to the holes with no need to hunt and peck. ―These birds have a highly specialized spatial memory --- it’s amazing,‖ says Dr. Sherry.Dr. Sherry says that memory in many animals is associated with an area in the braincalled the hippocampus. He found that food-storing birds have a larger hippocampus than birds that don’t store food. Hippocampus damage is one sign of Alzheimer’s disease, a braindegenerative disease marked by a failing memory.61. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Some kinds of birds have excellent memory.B. How birds store food in the ground.C. How birds find their stored food.D. Why birds like to bury seeds in the ground.62. Nutcracker is a kind of bird that _____.A. stores seeds in the groundB. sings very nicelyC. flies to north in winter daysD. works diligently63. When spring arrives, the bird _____.A. returns from north6B. flies back to find the stored foodC. starts to build its new homeD. becomes busy in collecting seeds64. According to Dr. Sherry, if one’s hippocampus is hurt, he may_____ .A. lose his ability to talkB. become very forgetfulC. die very soonD. become easy to get angry65. The phrase ―associated with‖ in the last paragraph has the same meaning as_____?A. ―linked to‖B. ―covered with‖C. ―located at‖D. ―stored in‖Passage 2Gordon was a 25-year-old science teacher in 1966 when he bought a brand-new car Volvo P1800. Today, Gordon, now retired, still owns the same Volvo. Last March, he put the 2 millionth mile on the car. Gordon’s vehicle hit the big 2 million at a TV ceremony held in Times Square in NewYork City.To what does Gordon owe his car’s very long life? ―Volvos are very strong cars,‖ he said. ―Also, I drive sensibly. And I take very good care of the car.‖ Gordon changes the oil every 3,000 miles; uses only the same brand of oil; changes the spark plugs(火花塞)every 20,000 miles; washes the car regularly; waxes it at least twice a year; and spends a few minutes each week checking under the hood (车篷), among other things.“Being a science teacher, I have a better idea of the ways things work,”he said.Gordon says the vehicle still has many of its original parts. But many parts, such as the starter motor, thebrakes(刹车), and the water pump, have been rebuilt or replaced.Gordon’s 2 million miles on the road have taken him almost everywhere in the United States, as well as to Canada, Mexico, and Europe. ―Whether I drive 3 million is more up to me than it is the car,‖ he said.―The car’s parts may be able to take it, but I’m not so sure about my own.‖66. From the passage we can guess that _____.A. it’s very rare for a car to drive two million milesB. the story has been written to introduce a new carC. there were a car show at the New Y ork City’s Times SquareD. no accidents have ever taken place with Gordon’s car767.

By the last two sentences Gordon wants to say that _____.A. he’s no longer as strong as he was youngB. his car may survive for no less than ten yearsC. he worries much about his carD. he’ll try hard to reach the goal of 3 million miles Passage 3Last summer, 16-year-old Andrea Axtell read an interesting article in the papers: Afamily had walked aimlessly in an Arizona desert after their car broke down. Familymembers said they felt as if they’d walked in circles for hours before help arrived. That detail attracted Andrea’s interest. ―Without a compass or specificlandmarks, do people who get lost end up walking in circles?‖ she wondered. ―And if they do, why?‖th These simple questions fueled Andrea’s 10-grade science project. Hungry for answers, she went to the library to conduct background research. Among many facts, she discoveredthat several body organs control direction and movement. For example:, Eyes allow people to see their route., Structures in the middle ear affect a person’s sense of balance., The brain c ontrols whether a person’s right side or left side is dominant(主导的),or exerts more control.―Studies of runners’ strides(步态)show that the dominant foot pushes off with a greater force, which pushes the runner slightly right or left,‖ she explains.8Armed with this information, Andrea started an experiment to test whether people who don’t know where they’re going end up walking in circles. And several months later, thatexperiment got a prize at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair(ISEF)!71. The aim of Andrea’s research is to find _____.A. why people walk in circlesB. why runners usually run in circlesC. whether lost people walk in circlesD. how can lost people find their place72. From where did Andrea get her idea to do her 10-grade science project?A. From her textbook.B. From a news report.C. From a science report.D. From an experiment.73. Andrea found from her research that the most important organ controlling direction is_____.A. the brainB. the middle earC. the eyesD. Both eyes and middle ear74. Andrea’s research concludes that people who don’t know where they’re going are in thehabit of walking _____.A. leftwardsB. rightwardsC. either left or rightD. neither left nor right75. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. If you are lost in a desert, you’d better stay where you are.B. One’s middle ear is the only organ to keep him in balance.C. Lost people can hardly find their way without a compass.D. The f orce made by one’s two feet is different when one walks.Passage 4Tears are nature’s way of making us feel more comfortable. When our eyes are made uncomfortable by some small pieces of pollution, or when we are cutting onions, or when9we are tired and ―red-eyes‖ from overwork at late hours, tears form in our eyes to clean andrefresh them.Tears are also a sign of strong emotion. We cry when we are sad and we cry when we are happy.And tears seem to be unique to human. We know that animals also experience emotion—fear, pleasure, loneliness—but they do not shed tears. From this we can concludethat tears are closely related to the emotional and biological make-up of the human species. Biologically speaking, tears are actually drops of a slightly salty fluid, produced by a gland(腺)in the body.Because salt is an important component(成分), tears may actuallymake up the most conclusive evidence that the human animal is the end product of a long evolutionary(进化的)process that began in the sea.And it is clear, that, in addition to the emotional benefits, the shedding of tears has a specific biological function as well. Through tears, we can eliminate from our body certainchemicals which build up in response to stress and create a chemical imbalance in the body. Crying actually makes us feel better by correcting that imbalance andmaking us feel good again. And thus the emotional and the biological functions of tears mix into one and make us even more ―human‖ than we would otherwis e be. 76. According to the passage, human beings may have first formed in .A. the seaB. lakesC. riversD. mountains77. Which of the following functions have nothing to do with tears?A. Biological functionB. Emotional functionC. Physical functionD.Chemical function78. According to the article, which of the following is unique to humans?A. The feeling of loneliness.B. The ability of evolution.C. The ability to shed tears.D. The feeling of fear.79. The word ―eliminate‖ in the last paragraph most probably means .A. escapeB. produceC. replaceD. remove80. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A. Tears are a sign of strong emotion.B. Tears are always making us feel more comfortable.C. Tears are unique to human.D. Tears have certain biological function.10。

However; with all forms of exercise it's important to start slowly and build up gently. Doing too much too quickly can damage muscles that aren't used to working. If you have any doubts about taking up cycling for health reasons; talk to your doctor and ask his/her advice.Ideally you should be cycling at least two or three times a week. For the exercise to be doing you good; you should get a little out of breath. Don't worry if you begin to lose your breath. Shortness of breath shows that the exercise is having the right effect.

We also had to wait for some considerable time before the menu was brought to us.I trust you will give this complaint your prompt attention as the whole embarrassing incident was a great disappointment to our guests and set a bad example to our English hospitality.Yours sincerely;Mr. Paul J.
