Most of them managed to get along fairly well, but oneFrancis Blustering, who had been

26、 wounded and who never recovered his strength was unable to work like others. In time he became very poor. Yet he was too proud to accept anything from the people in the village. Once, these veterans held a reunion dinner in the home of Jules Grandin, who had made a good deal of money. Grandin produ

27、ced a curiosity（珍玩）a large old gold coin. Each man examined it with interest as it passed around the long table. All, however, had drunk wine freely and the room was full of noisy talk, so that the gold piece was soon forgotten. Later, when Grandin remembered it and asked for it, the coin was missin

28、g.One of them suggested everyone be searched, to which all agreed, except Blustering. “You refuse, then?” asked Grandin. Blustering said with a red face, “Yes, I cannot allow it.”One by one, the others turned out their pockets. When the coin failed to appear, attention was focused on poor Blustering

29、. Under the pitying stares of his friends, he walked out and returned to his home.A few years later, Grandin made his house repaired. A workman found the gold coin, buried in dirt between planks (木板) of the floor. Hurrying to Blusterings home, Grandin apologized to him. “But why didnt you allow your

30、self be searched?”“Because I was a thief,” Blustering said brokenly. “For weeks we had not had enough to eat and my pockets were full of food that I had taken from the table to carry home to my wife and hungry children.”56. Francis Blustering lived a poor life because _.A. he was badly wounded in th

31、e battleB. he was unable to work like ordinary peopleC. he was too proud to get on well with other peopleD. he was waiting for his chance57. The coin was missing because _.A. all the friends were drunk B. the room was too noisyC. they were too excited to pay attention to it D. Blustering hid it in a

32、 secret place58. When Blustering turned red and refused to be searched, all people thought _.A. he was really a poor fellow B. he must have stolen the gold coinC. the coin must be hidden somewhere in the room D. poor Blustering had hidden some food in his pockets59. What can we learn from the story?

33、A. Think twice before you make a judgment.B. Blustering is a poor father and husband.C. Blustering would rather live alone than be considered a thief.D. Blustering is an example we should learn from.BAnimals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodie

34、s need. It has been shown that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins(维生素) to water without vitamins, even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles. When a sweet smell was added to the vitamins-enriched water, the rats di

35、d seem to develop a taste for it and kept drinking it, even after the vitamins were changed to the clear water. In time(最后), however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were.In experiments, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a room with a wide choice of baby

36、food before them. They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested in. We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating habits, but that over a period of time they managed to choose a well-balanced diet.So in choosing food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on what

37、s best for them. Clearly, there is a kind of “body wisdom”, which humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by old habits. Some people eat foxes, dogs and blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs. So what people

38、 eat and how many they eat seem to be greatly influenced by what is going around them.60. In the experiment on rats, a sweet smell was added to the rats drinking water to .A. encourage rats to drink vitamins-enriched waterB. find out rats preference in flavor(口味)C. test whether rats know which drink

39、 is good for themD. show the vitamins are tasteless61. Talking about eating habits, babies and rats are just like each other because .A. both have the wisdom to choose a balanced dietB. both prefer flavored food and drinkC. both have the same eating habitsD. both develop a taste for the same kinds o

40、f flavors62. In the experiment mentioned in the second paragraph, babies were .A. given many choices of drinks B. given all kinds of baby foodC. placed and fed in a hospital D. trained to select a balanced diet63. According to the passage, grown-up peoples eating habits differ from those of babies i

41、n that _ .A. they know better than babies what kinds of food are good for their healthB. they usually cannot say no to all kinds of delicious foodsC. their eating habits have much to do with the social and cultural customs (文化习俗)D. they have more choices of food than babies in eating patternsCMost t

42、elevision, radio, newspaper and magazine ads are consumer advertisements. They are sponsored(赞助) by the producer of the product or the dealer who sells the product. The ads aim at the consumer of the product or at the person who will buy the product for someone elses use. For example, a magazine adv

43、ertisement for Coca-Cola may try to attract both the purchaser and the consumer. A commercial for dog food on television, however, is aimed at the purchaser, not the consumer, of the product. To this kind of advertisements, most people have developed a kind of mixed feeling. On one hand, they are bo

44、red with the endless advertisements appearing in the newspapers and magazines, on the radio, or on TV. On the other hand, they still need the information to guide their purchasing. Therefore, to attract the consumers attention is the most important task for an advertising copywriter. Headline is the

45、 first, or maybe the only important part to the reader, so whether the headline is attractive determines whether the reader will read further or skip to another page. The statistic(统计) shows that the average words of 20 consumers advertisement is 10.66, and the most frequently used headline writing

46、ways are emotional(温情的) (30%) and curiosity （好奇）(30%) headlines. It means that emotional and curiosity ways are more effective and usually used to arouse readers interest. While only 25% of them include the brand of the products. This point shows that the advertisers are not eager to sell their prod

47、uct on appearance (although their purpose is so). They dont want to give the reader an impression that the advertiser only wants to sell their product but a feeling that they want to do something good to the consumer. When the consumers have the desire to buy the product, a good slogan（口号）to let the

48、m remember its brand also plays an important role. The average slogan words of the 20 ads are 5.2, and 60% of them include their brand into the slogans. From this point we can understand that striking and deep impression does not need many words. However, many advertisement writers still try to find

49、 a room for the brand name in the 5-word-long slogan in case the reader only remember the slogan and forget the brand.64. To make a good advertisement text, the most important thing is _.A. the quality of the productB. a good and unforgettable brandC. an eye-catching headline C. a slogan less than s

50、ix words65. From the passage we know _.A. the best place for an advertisement is TVB. the headline should include the brand of the productC. TV viewers dislike the advertisementsD. the fewer words, the better advertisements66. This passage is probably written for _.A. TV B. radio C. consumers D. pro

51、ducers67. What do you think is the best title for the passage?A. Public service advertisementsB. Consumer advertisementsC. Common interest advertisementsD. Emotional advertisementsDCrocodiles lay their eggs and leave them under leaves or sand. Baby crocodiles have special sharp teeth with which to b

52、reak their way out of the shells. Crocodiles only live where it is hot. They are found in India, Australia, Africa and America. They spend most of their time lying around in the mud or the rivers. The crocodiles long powerful tail is used when the animal is swimming. It is also an excellent weapon,

53、because it can be swung with great speed and force. One blow will knock down a man or even a big animal at once. The crocodile is very well protected against its enemies by the hard bony plates which cover most of its body, but because of the way its neck is formed, it can not turn its head from sid

54、e to side and so it can only see in front of itself. The crocodile has its teeth cleaned by the crocodile bird. For its food this bird takes the bits left in the crocodiles mouth. This helps the crocodile, which cannot clean its teeth, for it cannot move its tongue up and down. With its rows of terr

55、ible pointed teeth it seizes its food, which may be a fish, an animal, or even a careless man, and then holds it below the water until it drowns. The long-nosed crocodile is shy and timid and because of this, the people of West Africa sometimes catch it for food. Many, many centuries ago there were

56、crocodiles in England. We know this because we have found their bones buried far down in the earth on which London is built. But the Britain of today is too cold for them to live in. This is a good thing for English people for crocodiles may grow to over thirty feet in length. When they lie floating

57、 in the water, they look like floating tree-trunks and it is often impossible to tell that they are there.68. The female crocodile _ . A. buries her eggs B. sits on her eggs C. carries her eggs D. looks at her eggs69. The crocodile can only look _ . A. left B. right C. backwards D. forwards70. The c

58、rocodile kills its food _ . A. over the water B. beside the water C. under the water D. on the water71. Crocodiles are not seen in England now（except in the zoo）because _ . A. they have all been shot B. they are too dangerousC. they are all hiding under the riversD. the weather does not suit them no

59、wadays ENo matter who you are or where you come from, one thing is certain: you are familiar to the mosquito(蚊子), although you probably wish you werent. Mosquitoes are everywhere. They can be found all over the world, and they come in more than 2,500 species(种). Somewhere, at some time, you have sur

60、ely met at least one. No one loves the mosquito. But unfortunately, the mosquito may decide who she loves. She? Yes, she. Do you know that only the female mosquito bites? Well, its true. And its not because she is unfriendly; she needs blood to reproduce. Do you know how the female mosquito decides

61、whom to bite? She is quite selective, and she chooses her victims(猎物) carefully. First, she uses sensors to find her victim. These sensors are located on her two antennae(触角)and her three pairs of legs. With these sensors, she tests your body moisture(湿度), body warmth, and chemical substances in you

62、r sweat. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if you are not attractive, shell give up you for another one. The next time a mosquito bites you, just remember that you are chosen. You are special. If the mosquito likes you, she settles onto your flesh very gently, and she breaks your skin with

63、 her long nose tip. Long nose tip? Whats that? Its a kind of mouth and it sticks out just below the mosquitos eyes. It contains six sharp instruments called stylets. She thrusts all six stylets into your skin at once, and if she hits a blood pipe, shell get a full dinner in about a minute. All this

64、usually takes place so quickly and quietly that you may not have doubted anything is happening. Why does a mosquito bite itch（痒）? The itch is not really from the bite. lts from the saliva(口水) the mosquito mixes with your blood to keep it from being blocked as she sucks up with her long nose tip. By

65、the time the itch begins, she has gone. And then what happens? Well after her delicious dinner, the mosquito is tired. She just wants to find a place to rest. Heavy with your blood, she picks a spot on a leaf, a wall or a stone to quietly lay her eggs. Just one drop of blood will produce hundreds of

66、 eggs.72. The female mosquito looks for you because she _ A. is thirsty for your blood B. needs blood to reproduce C. loses her heart to you D. feels hungry at the time73.
