Even when she walks away, she leaves an impression. Mollys mark is a smile, stamped into the ground by the horseshoe at the bottom of her false

31、 legA few years ago, Molly was badly attacked by a dog. The dog bit all four of Mollys legs and left large cuts in her face. Mollys owner, Kate Harris, took her to an animal hospital. Doctors there were able to save Mollys life, but soon one of her legs became very infected (感染). At first, doctors t

32、hought Molly would have to be put to sleep.But Molly changed their minds. This pony, doctors noticed, shifted her weight, and rested her good leg from time to time. Doctors knew that Molly had amazing intelligence, and that she wanted to live. Several doctors operated on Molly, and removed her infec

33、ted leg. A false leg was made for her. The leg was a hollow cast with a pole at the bottom for balance. Doctors gave Molly a special horseshoe at the bottom of the leg. This horseshoe she had had a stamp of a smile face in it! After the operation, Molly walked around on all four legs, as if nothing

34、had ever happened to her! Now, with every step she takes, she stamps a smile in the dirt. But she leaves her mark in other ways, too.Kaye Harris took Molly to the false leg center. There were children there who, like Molly, had artificial arms or legs. They were amazed to see a pony with a false leg

35、. Molly made them smile and gave them hope. Soon, Molly began to visit schools, nursing homes, army bases and hospitals. A book was even written about Molly!56.

37、e.B. Molly ran a race and won the first prize.C. Molly often visits places such as schools and parks.D. Molly has become a symbol of hope for people of all ages.BMountaineers have noted that as they climb, for example, up to the 12,633foot Humphreys Peak in Arizona, plant life changes greatly. In th

38、e Sonoran Desert, one climbs into a pine forest at 7,000 feet and a treeless tundra(冻土带) on the top of the mountain. It may seem that plants at a given altitude are associated in what can be called “communities” groupings of species. The idea is that over time, plants that require particular climate

39、 and soil conditions come to live in the same places, and are frequently to be found together. Scientists study the history of plant life and build up a picture of how groups of plants have responded to climate changes and how ecosystems develop. But are these associations, which are real in the pre

40、sent, permanent?A great natural experiment took place on this planet between 25,000 and 10,000 years ago, when small changes in the earths orbit caused great sheets of ice to spread from poles. These glaciers(冰川) covered much of North America and Europe to depths of up to two miles, and then, as the

41、 climate warmed, they retreated. During this retreat, they left behind newly uncovered land for living things to occupy, and as those living things moved in they laid down a record we can read now. As the ice retreated and plants started to grow near a lake, they release pollen(花粉). Some would fall

42、into the lake, sink to the bottom and mix with the sand. By drilling into the lake bottom it is possible to read the record of the plant life around the lake. The fossil record seems clear; there is little or no evidence that entire groups of plants moved north together. Things that lived together i

43、n the past dont live together now, and things that live together now didnt live together in the past. Each individual living things moved at its own pace. The fossil record seems to be telling us that we should be thinking about preserving species by giving them room to move aboutto respond to envir

44、onmental changes.59. According to the passage, the movement of individual species of plants _.A. occurs in groupsB. often depends upon the formation of lakesC. does not occur in groupsD. depends upon climate and soil conditions60.All of the following are true EXCEPT _.A. The ice age occurred when th

45、ere were small changes in the orbit of the earthB. fossil records seem to indicate that plants will be preserved if they have enough room to moveC. fossil records clearly show that entire groups of plants are unlikely to have moved togetherD. in the ice age glaciers covered the world to depths of up

46、 to two miles61. The underlined word “which” refers to _.A. the responses of plants to climate changesB. the current theories of ecosystemsC. the development of ecosystemsD. plant life changes62. The second paragraph is intended to _.A. support the main idea of the first paragraphB. answer the quest

47、ion raised in first paragraphC. make suggestions about responding to environmental changesD. stress the importance of preserving speciesCTOKYOLonely astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) may soon be getting a robot friend from Japan.Japans space agency is considering putting a talking

51、help elderly people on Earth by providing a nonintrusive(无干扰的) means of monitoring the robot owners health and vital signs and sending information to emergency responders if there is an abnormality, JAXA said.“We are thinking in terms of a very humanlike robot that would have facial expressions and

52、be able to talk with the astronauts，” said JAXAs Satoshi Sano.The robot was being developed with the advertising and communications giant Dentsu Inc and a team at Tokyo University.The NASA project has a humanlike head, hands and arms and uses the same tools as station crew members. The “Robonaut” ca

Sleep is a natural part of human life, but m

72、any people in the modern world ignore its importance. As a result, sleep problems are increasingly common. In 2002, scientists at the University of Athens in Greece conducted a survey of over 35,000 people in 10 countries around the world, including China, Belgium and South Africa. Of the people tha

73、t responded to the survey, 24 percent said that they did not sleep well, and based on their responses, 31.6 percent were diagnosed with insomnia(失眠) and another 17.5 percent were diagnosed with borderline(边界线) insomnia. In addition, 30.7 percent of survey respondents reported visiting a doctor for h

74、elp with sleep problems and 11.6 percent said that they felt very sleepy during the day. Overall, the survey found that many people suffer the effects of poor quality sleep, some examples of which are being unable to fall asleep and waking up in the middle of the night. The main factors causing thes

75、e problems are pressure from school or work and a fast pace of life, but noise pollution and light pollution also interfere with sleep and contribute to poor quality sleep. The surveys findings are particularly troubling because large numbers of people were found to have difficulty sleeping at night

76、. The short-term effects of this are tiredness and trouble concentrating. If this happens for a long time, the risk of gaining weight and having a heart attack may increase. There are many things you can do to improve the quality of your sleep. First, you should have regular sleep habits. Try to go

77、to bed and wake up around the same time each day. You also need to make your bedroom a cool, dark, quiet place to sleep so that heat, light and noise do not disturb you. At night, you should also avoid things that contain caffeine, such as chocolate, coffee, tea and many soft drinks, as caffeine may
