并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AThe day of my holiday arrived, but I wasn’t looking forward to it. I had little money and had only been able to afford to stay with my Aunt Rosa in Spain. So, I wasn’t really excited as I knew exactly what it was going to be like: lots of noisy cousins , and Aunt Rosa begging me to take her for a ride.After I had checked in, I made my way slowly to the departure gate. As I was waiting to board the plane, I kept thinking about my ideal holiday destination: Jamaica, with its long, sandy beaches and crystal clear water.As soon as the plane took off, I fell fast asleep and only woke to the sound of the announcement: “Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten you seat belts, as we will shortly be landing in Kingston.” I froze in my seat. Was I dreaming? Kingston? Jamaica? I had boarded the wrong plane!Immediately after the plane landed, I explained the situation to the authorities. It seems there were also three other passengers heading for Spain. Apparently it had been the airline’s fault, since the flight numbers for Spain and Jamaica were exactly the same! Therefore, with no flight back to London for a week, the airline had no choice but to pay for our stay.So there I was, lying on the beach, enjoying the music and the marvelous food of Jamaica! As for Aunt Rosa, I suppose she just had to live without me!1. Why did the writer choose to spend her holiday with her aunt in Spain?A. She missed her cousins very much.B. Her aunt begged her to go there.C. She could hardly afford any better trip.D. Spain was her ideal destination.2. In the story, the writer ended up _________.A. flying to London immediatelyB. heading for Spain from JamaicaC. complaining to the authoritiesD. enjoying a free beach holiday3. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. A Lucky MistakeB. A Terrible AdventureC. A Nice DreamD. A Well-Planned TripBSome people in Manchester, Britain, will soon be paying for goods and services with so-called “smart” credit cards. These cards are more secure than the traditionalmagnetic-strip version and can be used to travel on buses, check bank accounts and do shopping.The Manchester project is one of the biggest smart card schemes in the world. Every time people use the cards on a bus or train, the fare is deducted (reduced) from the value of the card. When they have no credit left, the cards can be recharged at a local shop.A smart card looks just like a mormal plastic card but it has a silicon chip in it.It is possible for the same silicon chip to perform a number of different functions,so one plastic card in your pocket could do a large number of different jobs. The card has much more memory space than a magnetic-strip card,so many more things can be recoreded on it.There are two types of smart cards.One is the contact card which is used in the same way as a magnetic-strip card.Information is transferred by running the card through a narrow opening in an electronic reader. In the slot, electronic probes make contact with the magnetic-strip or silicon ship and read the information. The other type is the contactless smart card where the electronic reader communicates with the card by short-range radio waves. This makes the card quicker and more convenient to use because it does not have to leave your wallet. It is also more reliable as it is not easily influenced by scratches or dirt. However, the biggest advantage that smart cards have over magnetic-strip cards is that they are more secure. They are much more difficult to make than conventional cards and they have to be made by specially trained manufacturers. In addition, they have a large number of extra security features on them and if a smart card gets lost or stolen a quick phone-call to the distributor ensures that its individual number is made invalid and unreadable. This can be done more quickly than with a magnetic-strip card.1.A smart credit card can do many kinds of jobs because ____ .A. it is smartB. it is a plastic cardC. it has a silicon chip in itD. it can be recharged2. “ The cards can be recharged” means that ____ .A. the card can be put into a new charge of electricityB. the cards can be changed into new onesC. the cards can be put to use againD. the cards can be recycled3. What are the advantages of smart credit cards over traditional ones?A. they can store more informationB. they are more secureC. they are more convenient to useD. all of the above4.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Contactless cards are more convenient to use than contact onesB. Smart cards are more expensive to manufacturerC. By means of long-range radio waves contactless cards can communicate with the electronic readerD. A smart credit card and a normal plastic card are the same thingCFor some reason we were reminded that we primates(灵长目) need love. Kim Bard of the University of Portsmouth in England and her colleagues carried out a study on 46 baby chimpanzees orphans(黑猩猩孤儿), which had lost their mothers. The study showed that primate babies that have tight relationships with mother figures do much better on cognitive (认知的) tests than babies who only grew up with peers (同伴), but this is not breaking news. In fact, it ' s old news.In the 1950s, Harry Harlow did a series of experiments with baby monkeys that showed. that lack of love and comfort makes for a crazy monkey.Harlow constructed a cage that included a wire monkey "mother" with a plastic face. Then he equipped the "mother" with a milk bottle .The cage also had another wire "mother" who was covered with soft cloth. The baby monkeys spent all their time with the cloth "mother" arid only went to the wire "mother" to feed.Harlow's monkey experiment was important because, at the time, child care experts, and everybody's grandmother had a "no touch, no comfort" policy toward children. They advised parents not to respond to crying babies. They thought that babies should sleep alone to become independent, and for God's sake put that kid down.But Harlow's work changed that policy. Mothers were soon permitted to have their babies next to them in the hospital.The current chimp research based on Harlow's work shows that mother's lovedoesn't just make for a psychologically(糖神上地) healthy child, it also makes for a smart child.The highly raised chimps do better than those that are not loved, and the well-raised chimps do even better than human kids on IQ tests.We are primates, social animals which need love. We need to be held and talked to and made to feel that at least one person wants to be with us all the time.1. The study Kim Bard and his colleagues didA. included 46 baby and mother monkeysB. is nothing new to people about the findingsC. showed that many chimpanzees lack of love when they were youngD. showed many chimpanzees had good relationship with their mothers2. Harlow built two "mothers" for baby,.monkeys to _______A. make them live comfortablyB. let them have more choicesC. give them more love D make comparison well3. Which of the following can we infer from the passage?A. Well--raised chimps are better than people in IQ.B. Sometimes it's not wrong to have no touch and no comfort to babies.C. Chimps growing up in cages are less smarter than chimps growing up in wild.D. Babies who sleep with mothers tend to be cleverer than babies sleep alone.4. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Love makes kids smarterB. Primates need loveC. No touch, no comfortD.
