Hercules
Once upon a time there was a great Greek hero, Hercules. He was taller and stronger than anyone you have ever seen. On his shoulder he carried a club and in his hand he held a bow (弓). He was known as the hero of a hundred adventures.
Hercules served a king. The king was afraid of him. So again and again he sent him on difficult tasks. One morning the king sent for him and told him to fetch three golden apples for him from the garden of the Singing Maidens (歌女). But no one knew where the garden was.
So Hercules went away. He walked the whole day and the next day and the next. He walked for months before he saw mountains far in the distance one fine morning. One of the mountains was in the shape of a man, with long, long legs and arms and huge shoulders and a huge head. He was holding up the sky. Hercules knew it was Atlas, the Mountain God. So he asked him for help.
Atlas answered, "My head and arms and shoulders all ache. Could you hold up the sky while I fetch the golden apples for you?"
Hercules climbed the mountain and shouldered the sky. Soon the sky grew very heavy. When finally Atlas came back with three golden apples, he said, "Well, you are going to carry the mountain for ever. I'm going to see the king with the apples." Hercules knew that he couldn't fight him because of the sky on his back. So he shouted:
"Just one minute's help. My shoulders are hurting. Hold the sky for a minute while I make a cushion (垫子) for my shoulders."
Atlas believed him. He threw down the apples and held up the sky.
Hercules picked up the apples and ran back to see the king.

How We Form First lmpression
1 We all have first impression Of someone we just met. But why? Why do we form an opinion about Someone without really knowing anything about him or her -aside perhaps from a few remarks or readily observable traits.
2 The answer is related to how your brain allows you to be aware of the world. Your brain is so sensitive in picking up facial traits，even very minor difference in how a person’s eyes，ears，nose，or mouth are placed in relation to each other makes you see him or her as differene1.In fact，your brain continuously process incoming sensory information- the sights and sounds of your world. These incoming “signals” are compared against2 a host of “memories” stored in the brain areas called the cortex
system to determine what these new signals “ mean” .
3 If you see someone you know and like at school3，your brain says “familiar and safe. “ If you see someone new，it says，”new-potentially，threatening”. Then your brain starts to match features of this stranger with other “ known” memories. The height ，weight，dress ，ethnicity ，gestures ，and tone of voice are all matched up. The more unfamiliar the characteristics ，the more your brain may say，This is new. I don’t like this person”. Or else，”I’m intrigued” . Or your brain may perceive a new face but familiar clothes，ethnicity，gestures-like your other friends; so your brain says: “I like this person” . But these preliminary “impressions” can be dead wrong.
4 When we stereotype people，we use a less mature form of thinking (not unlike the immature thinking of a very young child) that makes simplistic and categorical impressions of others. Rather than learn about the depth and breadth of people-their history，interest，values，strengths，and true character - we categorize them as jocks，geeks，or freaks.
5 However，if we resist initial stereotypical impressions，we have a chance to be aware of what a person is truly like. If we spend time with a person，hear about his or her life，hopes，dreams，and become aware of the person’s character，we use a different，more mature style of thinking- and the most complex areas of our cortex，which allow us to be humane.
23. Paragraph 2_____
24. Paragraph 3_____
25. Paragraph 4_____
26. Paragraph 5_____
27. Sensory information is one that is perceived through_____.
28. You interpret _____ by comparing it against the memories already stored in
your brain.
29. The way we stereotype people is a less mature form of thinking，which is
similar to_____.
30. We can use our more mature style of thinking thanks to_____.
第四部分：阅读理解(第31～45题，每题3分，共45分)
下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题，每题后面有4个选项。

请仔细阅读短文并根据短文回答其后面的问题，从4个选项中选择l个最佳答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。

第一篇Making Light of Sleep
All we have a clock located inside our brains. Similar to your bedside alarm clock，your internal clock2 runs on a 24-hour cycle. This cycle，called a circadian rhythm，helps control when you wake，when you eat and when you sleep.
Somewhere around puberty，something happens in the timing of the biological clock. The clock pushes forward，so adolescents and teenagers are unable to fall asleep as early as they used to. When your mother tells you it’s time for bed，your body may be pushing you to stay up3 for several hours more. And the light coming from your computer screen or TV could be pushing you to stay up even later.
This shift is natural for teenagers. But staying up very late and sleeping late can get your body’s clock out of sync with the cycle of light and dark5. It can also make it hard to get out of bed in the morning and may bring other problems，too. Teenagers are put in a kind of a gray cloud6when they don’t get enough sleep，says Mary Carskadon，a sleep researcher at Brown University in Providence，RI7 .It affects their mood and their ability to think and learn.
But just like your alarm clock，your internal clock can be reset. In fact，it automatically resets itself every day. How? By using the light it gets through your eyes.
Scientists have known for a long time that the light of day and the dark of night play important roles in setting our internal clocks. For years，researchers thought that the signals that synchronize the body’s clock8were handled through the same pathways that we use to see.
But recent discoveries show that the human eye has two separate light-sensing
systems. One system allows us to see. The second system tells our body whether it’s day or night.
31 .The clock located inside our brains is similar to our bedside alarm clock because
A it controls when we wake，when we eat and when we sleep.
B it has a cycle of 24 hours.
C it is a cycle also called circadian rhythm.
D it can alarm any time during 24 hours.
32. What is implied in the second paragraph?
A Young children’s biological clock has the same rhythm with that of the teenagers.
B People after puberty begin to go to bed earlier due to the change of the biological clock.
C Children before puberty tend to fall asleep earlier at night than adolescents.
D Teenagers go to bed later than they used to due to the light from the computer screen.
33. In the third paragraph the author wants to tell the reader that
A it is natural for teenagers to stay up late and get up late.
B staying up late has a bad effect on teenagers’ ability to think and learn.
C during puberty most teenagers experience a kind of gray cloud.
D it is hard for teenagers to get out of bed in the morning.
34. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the fourth and fifth paragraphs?
A Our biological clock resets itself automatically.
B light gets through our eyes and resets our biological clock.
C Our internal clock as well as the alarm clock can be reset automatically.
D Our internal clock，like the alarm clock，can be reset.
35. According to the last two paragraphs，what did the previous researchers think about the human eye’s light-sensing system?
A The human eye had two light-sensing systems.
B The human eye had one light-sensing system.
C The human eye could sense the light of day more quickly than the dark of night.
D The human eye could reset our internal clocks in accordance with the alarm clocks.
第二篇Weight on and off the Earth
We are so used to our life on the surface of the earth that it can be quite an effort for our mind to break free of all the ideas that we take for granted. Because we can feel that things are heavy, we think of "weight" as being a fixed quality in an object, but it is not really fixed at all. If you could take a one-pound packet of butter 4, 000 miles out from the earth, it would weigh only a quarter of a pound.
Why would things weigh only a quarter as much as they do at the surface of the earth if we took them 4,000 miles out into space? The reason is this: All objects have a natural attraction for all other objects; this is called gravitational attraction. But this power of attraction between two objects gets weaker as they get farther apart. When the butter was at the surface of the earth, it was 4,000 miles from the center. When we took the butter 4,000 miles out, it was 8,000 from the center, which is twice the distance. If you double the distance between two objects, their gravitational attraction decreases two times two'. If you treble the distance, it gets nine times weaker (three times three) and so on.
So this is one of the first things we need to remember: that the weight of an object in space is not the same as its weight on the surface of the earth.
What about the weight of our pound of butter on the surface of the moon? At the distance the pull of the earth is about 4,000 times smaller than it is here on the surface, so we can forget all about the earth-pull on our butter.
On the other hand, on the moon there will be an attraction between the butter and the moon: but the butter will weigh only about one-sixth as much as it does on the earth. This is because the moon is so much smaller than the earth. The amount of gravitational pull that a body produces depends on the amount of material in it. A packet of butter has a gravitational pull of its own; but this is very small in relation to the pull of something as large as the moon, or the earth, or the sun.
36 How much would four pounds of tea weigh if it was taken 4,000 miles out from
the surface of the earth?
A I pound.
B 2 pounds.
C 3 pounds
D 4 pounds.
37 We find it hard to break free from ideas connected with living on the earth because
A it demands too great an effort for us to do so.
B we are too familiar with the way things are to question the ideas.
C we have proved that those ideas are correct.
D we are so sure of ourselves that we never doubt anything on the earth.
38 According to the passage, "weight" should be understood in the sense that
A it is fixed if it is outside the earth's gravitational pull.
B it decreases four times when it is 4,000 miles from the earth's center.
C it varies with the change of the gravitational attraction between two objects.
D things increase in amount as they are closer to the earth's surface.
39 We do not feel the gravitational pull of a packet of butter because
A it is too small to have a gravitational pull of its own.
B its pull is so small that we tend to ignore it.
C its pull disappears in the presence of the earth's gravitation.
D it tends to melt and loses its gravitational pull.
40 The main idea of this passage is
A different weight systems in different places
B freedom from traditional ideas.
C traveling from the earth to the moon.
D the effect of gravitation on weight.
第三篇Lifetime Employment in Japanese Companies
In most large Japanese companies, there is a policy of lifetime employment. What this means is that when people leave school or university to join an enterprise, they can expect to remain with that organization until they retire. In effect, the employee gets job security for life, and can only be fired for serious mistakes in work. Even in times of business recession, he or she is free from the fear of being laid off.
One result of this practice is that the Japanese worker identifies closely with his company and feels strong loyalty to it. By working hard for the company, he believes he is safeguarding his own future. It is not surprising that devotion to one's company is considered a great virtue in Japan. A man is often prepared to put his firm's interests before those of his immediate family.
The job security guaranteed by this system influences the way employees approach their work. They tend to think in terms of what they can achieve throughout their career. This is because they are not judged on how they are performing during a
short period of time. They can afford to take a longer perspective than their Western counterparts.
This marriage between the employee and the company - the consequence of lifetime employment - may explain why Japanese workers seem positively to love the products their company is producing and why they are willing to stay on after work, for little overtime pay, to participate in earnest discussions about the quality control of their products.
41 Lifetime employment in the Japanese company means that the employee
A leaves his company only when business is bad.
B gets a job soon after he leaves school or university.
C can work there throughout his career.
D can have his serious mistakes in work corrected.
42 Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?
A Family and company interests are equally important
B The Japanese worker is very loyal to his company.
C One's future is guaranteed through hard work.
D Devotion to one's company is encouraged.
43 Lifetime employment influences one's
A achievements at work.
B performance at work.
C career options.
D attitude toward work.
44 The Japanese worker is fond of his company's products because of
A his marriage with the daughter of the president.
B the close link between him and his company.
C his willingness to work overtime,
D his active participation in quality control.
45 The passage mainly discusses
A how lifetime employment works in Japan.
B what benefits lifetime employment has brought to Japanese workers
C what lifetime employment is.
D how lifetime employment is viewed.

Heat Is Killer
Extremely hot weather is common in many parts of the world. Although hot weather just makes most people feel hot, it can cause serious medical problems -- even death. Floods, storms, volcano eruptions and other natural disasters kill thousands of people every year.（洪水，暴风雨，火山爆发和其他自然灾害每年杀死了成千上万的人）46 Experts say heat may be nature’s deadliest killer. Recently, extreme heat was blamed for killing more than one hundred people in India. It is reported that the total heat of a hot day or several days can affect health. 47 D . Experts say heat waves often become dangerous when the nighttime temperature does not drop much from the highest daytime temperature. This causes great stress on the human body.
48 . Stay out of the sun, if possible. Drink lots of cool water. Wear light colored clothing made of natural materials; avoid wearing synthetic clothing. Make sure the
clothing is loose，permitting freedom of movement1. And learn the danger signs of the medical problems, such as headache and vomiting，that are linked to heat. 49 . The pain is a warning that the body is becoming too hot2. Doctors say those suffering headache or muscle pain should stop all activity and rest in a cool place and drink cool liquids. Do not return to physical activity for a few hours because more serious conditions could develop.
Doctors say some people face an increased danger from heat stress. 50 .
Hot weather also increases dangers for people who must take medicine for high blood pressure，poor blood flow，nervousness or depression.
A. Such persons have a weak or damaged heart，high blood pressure，or other
problems of the blood system.
B. Several of these conditions are present at the same time.
C. Most people suffer only muscle pain as a result of heat stress.
D. Several hot days are considered a heat wave.
E. So does extreme heat.
F. Doctors say people can do many things to protect themselves from the dangers of
extreme heat.
第六部分：完型填空(第51～65题，每题1分，共15分)
阅读下面的短文，文中有15处空白，每处空白给出了4个选项，请根据短文的内容从4个选项中选择1个最佳答案，涂在答题卡相应的位置上。

Germs on Banknotes
People in different countries use different types of 51 yuan in China, pesos in Mexico, pounds in the United Kingdom, dollars in the United States, Australia and New Zealand. They may use 52 currencies, but these countries, and probably all countries, still have one thing in common1: Germs on the banknotes.
Scientists have been studying the germs on money for well over2 100 years. At the turn of the 20th 53 , some researchers began to suspect that germs living on money could spread disease.
Most studies of germy money have looked at the germs on the currency 54 one country. In a new study, Frank Vriesekoop and other researchers compared the germ populations found on bills of different 55 .
Vriesekoop is a microbiologist at the University of Ballarat in Australia. He led the study, which compared the germ populations found on money 56 from 10 nations. The scientists studied 1,280 banknotes in total; all came from places where people buy food, like supermarkets street vendors and cafes, 57 those businesses often rely on cash.
Overall, the Australian dollars hosted the fewest live bacteria ---- no more than 10 per square centimeter. Chinese yuan had the most ---- about 100 per square centimeter. Most of the germs on money probably would not cause harm.
What we call “paper” money usually isn’t made from paper. The U. S. dollar, for example, is printed on fabric that is mostly 58 .Different countries may use different 59 to print their money. Some of the currencies studied by Vriesekoop and his 60 such as the American dollar were made from cotton. Others were made from polymers.
The three 61 with the lowest numbers of bacteria were all printed on polymers. They included the Australian dollar, the New Zealand dollar and some Mexican pesos.
The other currencies were printed on fabric made 62 of cotton. Fewer
germs lived on the polymer notes. This connection suggests that 63 have a harder time staying alive on polymer surfaces. Scientists need to do more studies to understand how germs live on money-----and whether or not we need to be concerned. Vnesekoop is now starting a study that will 64 the amounts of time bacteria can stay alive on different types of bills.
Whatever Vriesekoop finds, the fact remains: Paper money harbors germs We should wash our 65 after touching it; after all5, you never know where your money ‘s been. Or what’s living on it
51. A coins B money C cheques D loans
52. A different B clean C hard D foreign

第三部分：
答案解析：
23. D 本段叙述的是人脑解读感官信息的过程。

24. C 本段举例说明第一印象解读的过程，将第二段叙述的内容具体化。

25. B 本段对第一印象进行了评论，说第一印象不成熟，simplistic and categorical。

26. A 本段说如果我们与某个人多接触，了解他的生活、希望、梦想和性格特征，我们对该人的认识就不会停留在第一印象的阶段，而是进入一个更深的层次。

27. E 选E 的依据在第二段的第三句。

28. D 选 D 的依据在第二段的最后两句。

sensory information 的意思就是information perceived through sensory organs (视觉、听觉、味觉、触觉、嗅觉等)。

29. C 选C 的依据在第四段的第一句，该句是:When we stereotype people，we use a less mature form of thinking (not unlike the immature thinking of a very young child) that makes simplistic and categorical impressions of others.
30. B 选B 的依据在第五段第二句。

第四部分：
答案与题解：
31.B 第一段第二句提供了答案。

句中的your internal clock 即指a clock located inside our Brains。

32. C 第二段主要内容是告诉读者，过了青春期（puberty），由于生物钟节奏的变化，青少年（adolescents and teenagers）比以前要晚睡几小时。

所以C是该段所隐含的内容。

33. B 第三段的最后一句直接给出了答案。

34. C 根据第四和第五段的内容，闹钟和生物钟都可以重新设定时间，但生物钟能通过眼睛接
受的日光来自动调节生理节奏。

所以A、B和D都是这两段中所述内容，C是正确选择，因为闹钟不能自动重新设定时间。

35.B 问题使用的是过去时，问的是研究者在最新发现（recent discoveries）之前对眼睛感光系统的认识，即，the signals that synchronize the body’s clock were handled through the same
pathways that we use to see （眼睛所接受到的平衡生物钟的光信号同样作用于人类的视觉系统），也就是说，研究者之前认为人类的眼睛只有一个感光系统。

但最新发现却是，人的眼睛有两个感光系统。

【第五部分】补全短文
46. E 本文的标题是Heat Is Killer，通篇文章说的是heat的危害性及预防方法。

”空1”前面的句子是，”Floods，storms，volcano eruptions and other natural events kill thousands of people every year，”空1”后面的句子是，”…heat may be nature’s deadliest killer”。

所以这里应将最致命的杀手E提出。

47. D “空2”后面的句子说到heat waves，而选项D的句子中也出现heat wave，说明这两个句子意思上有联系。

”空2”的句子是对”heat wave”下定义，为下一句的展开作了铺垫。

D 是答案。

48. F 第一段末尾说，白天的热浪，如果到夜晚没有降温，会给身体带来巨大的压力，这是很危险的。

第二段就列举了许多保护自己免受高温伤害的方法。

”空3”的句子应该是位于段首的概括句。

选项F说人们有多种办法保护自己，完全符合要求，因此是答案。

49. C 紧跟”空4”后面句子中有特指的the pain，说明前文一定出现过pain这个词。

选项C 的句子中有pain，且C的句子填入后，上下文意思连贯，所以是答案。

50. A “空5”前面的句子意思为：某些人在热浪期间特别危险。

读者或许会问，是哪些人呢？
选项A回答了这个问题，所以是答案。

第六部分：
答案与题解:
51.B 冒号后面说的是各国使用钱币的名称:”yuan in China ，pesos in Mexico，pounds in the United Kingdom ，dollars in the United States，Aus往’alia and New Zealand”，所以填人的词必定与这些钱币有关，而且应该是钱币的总括词。

因此选money 最为恰当。

coins 是”硬币”，cheques 是”支票”，loans是”贷款”，它们都不会是答案。

52.A 本题的句子说的是:虽然各国使用的纸币各不相同，它们有一个共同点，那就是纸币上有病菌。

四个选项中different 是答案。

53.D 选century 最合理。

选anniversary (周年)，year (年)或decade都不合逻辑。

54.C 本段第二句提供了解答本题的线索。

Frank Vriesekoop 的研究与以前的科学家的研究不同，他比较了各国钱币上的病菌数量，在他之前的科学家的研究范围局限于一个国家的纸币。

四个选项中只有within 表达”在(一个国家)里”的意思。

55. A 经过第四题选词的思索过程，本题的形容词很自然会在different 之后用countries，指不同的国家。

56. C 上一句说Vriesekoop 比较不同国家纸币携带病菌的数量。

本题的句子明确指出他对比的纸币涉及十个国家。

四个选项中只有gathered (收集)与上下文的意思相匹配。

57. A 填词所在的句子与前面的主句存在因果关系。

为什么要从食品店和食品摊收集纸币呢?因为这些地方常要用现金支付。

本题答案是because。

58. C fabric 是”织物”，其制作原料不会是plastic(塑料)或rubber( 橡胶)。

选paper 也不对，因为本句是说明纸币的制作原料通常不是纸。

制作fabric 的原料是cotton( 棉花)，这是合
乎常理的。

而且该段倒数第二句也提供了答案。

所以答案是cotton。

59.D 本段说纸币的材料一般不是纸，通常是用棉花织物或高分子聚合物制作的。

所以选择
materials( 材料、原料)是正确的。

60. B 本题应当选team。

与family (家庭成员)，advisor (顾问)或boss (老板)合作研究不是没有可能，但总有些离谱。

与团队合作研究比较合理。

61. D 本段第二句提供了线索，它列出三种纸币，即the Australian dollar ，the New Zealand
dollar 和some Mexican pesos。

选currencies 是最合理的。

另外三个选项都不合适; expenses
是”支出”，banks 是”银行”，statements 是”账单”。

62. B 本题只有选mostly，上下文意思才连贯。

63. C 前一句说用高分子聚合物制作的钱币含菌数量较少。

本题的句子接着分析说，在高分子聚合物上存活较难。

谁存活较难？当然是病菌。

本题答案是germs0 dirt, water 和oil 是
非生物，不存在生存的问题。

64.A 四个选项填入句子后，句子成了：“…comp are/connect/conduct/command the amounts of time bacteria can stay alive on different types of bills”, 很明显；connect （连接）/conduct （实
施）/command（控制）amounts of time是无法成立的。

只有compare(比较）不同纸币上病菌存活的时间才是Vriesekoop 要研究的新课题。

65. B人们通常是用手接触纸币的。

所以接触纸币后要洗手。

答案是hands。
