31、are better at memorizing words and 68 faces. Why the differences?A test of the brains electrical activity shows that women commonlyuse both sides of their brain while men rely more on one.

33、nues. And although their brains are constructed slightly differently, men and women may be equallycapable. They may simply 73 different abilities.

Reading Comprehension.AAs the world watched the twin towers of the World Trade Center come under attack, a common phrase was repeated:“It looks like a movie.”But this time there was no superman to save the people or the famous building. The attack destroyed one of the wo

37、rlds highest skyscrapers and left 5,000 people dead or missing.Movie fans have become used to such events after years of Hollywood films showing disasters, terrorism(恐怖主义) and danger, The Empire State Building, the White House, New York City and even the American president himself have all been thre

38、atened by terrorist attacks in these exciting films.The film“True Lies”, released(发行) in 1994 is considered to be a good example of this kind of movie. The special effects, including explosions and missiles, make the action look like a real thing.“Independence Day”in 1996 took this type of movie one

39、 step further by blowing up the White House. This science fiction movie is about a war between human beings and aliens(外来人) from another planet. In the movie, the World Trade Center towers are destroyed.Violence has become a major part of Hollywood movies. And this is what people enjoy. Soon after t

40、he attacks, many famous film companies stopped the planned releases of some of their new movies, especially if their films showed terrorist attacks or plane crashes. “Swordfish” was top of the American box office in June, 2001. But the movies story was frighteningly similar to the Sept.11 disaster.

41、The film would have been stopped in American and British cinemas after the attack. But its unlikely that Hollywood will stay quiet for long. It is already waiting for the feeling in America to calm down.75. What is the main subject of the newspaper article?AThe relationship between the Sept.11 attac

42、k and Hollywood films.BThe effect of the Sept.11 attack on Hollywood filmsCThe response Hollywood made to the Sept.11 attack.DThe result of Hollywood films showing violence and disasters.76.

43、 stopped making films showing terrorism and disasters after the Sept.11 attack.C“Swordfish” was not allowed to be shown after the Sept.11 attack.DThe World Trade Center was destroyed because no superman came to save it.77. From this article we know that .AHollywood is a filmmaking center making film

44、s of violence and disastersBtoo many Hollywood films showing terrorism and disasters resulted in the Sept.11 attackCpeople who were used to the Hollywood films were not shocked at the Sept.11 attack.Din fact, the Sept.11 attack had nothing to do with Hollywood filmsBLast week, I bought an alarm syst

45、em(报警系统) for about $ 450. It consisted of a control unit with three other small units. I put the control unit in the sitting room and fastened the other units by the front door, back door and living-room windows. The instructions told us to choose three numbers, so we chose 491, the last three numbe

46、rs of our telephone number.Now I must explain how the alarm works:1. There is a power siren(警报器) in the control unit. It makes a very loud noise.2. Each of the small units sends out beams(光束) or rays in different directions. If anything moves, it breaks a beam. This sends a signal to the control uni

47、t. The siren makes a noise that you can hear 50 meters away.3. When we go to bed, I press the three buttons numbered 4, 9 and 1. Then we have 30 seconds to get out of the room before the alarm starts to work.That might I slept soundly because I was sure that no burglar(夜贼) could get into our house.

48、However, at about 2:10a.m., I woke up and heard the siren(警报).“There must be a burglar in the house,” Mary said. “What shall we do?”“Ill go and see whos there,” I said. “Stay here. Dont make a noise.”I went downstairs quietly. When I reached the living room, I switched on my torch and looked round t

49、he room. Then I turned the light on. I switched the siren off and searched the rooms downstairs. There was nothing wrong except that the back door was unlocked. I locked it, re-set the alarm and went back to bed.About an hour later, the alarm started again. I jumped out of bed, fell over a chair in

50、the dark and bumped into the bedroom door. Mary woke up and started hitting me with a torch. “Hey! Wait a minute!” I whispered. “Its only me. I m going downstairs to see whats wrong.”I went down into the living room and listened for a moment. The only sound I could hear was the siren. I turned on th

51、e light and then switched the siren off. As I did so, I glanced across at the curtains in front of the windows. I saw a house lizard (蜥蜴) disappear behind the curtains.“Oh!” I said to myself. “Thats our burglar.”When the lizard moved, it started the siren. I guessed that the alarm had been made in E

52、urope, where there are no house lizards.Well, I wont finish this story but if you want an alarm system free of charge, let me know. Ill send you ours. We bought a dog this morning. It knows the difference between a lizard and a burglar.78. The writer bought an alarm system to .Amake sure that he got

53、 up early every dayBwarn him when there were lizards in his houseCfrighten burglars and tell him that somebody had got into the houseDmake Mary feel safe to live in the large room79. The purpose of the three units was to .Asend a message to the control unit and start the sirenBsound their own sirens

54、 when the control unit told them toCcheck that the control unit worked properly all the timeDgive them enough light80. If the writer set the alarm and remained in the room for more than half a minute, .Anothing would happenBthe control unit would not workCthe siren would make a noiseDthe dog would b

55、ark81. The purpose of the writer in writing the passage is to .Atell us that the alarm system doesnt workBtell us an interesting experienceCshow us how the alarm system worksDmake it clear that he wants to give away his alarm systemCThe gray-haired lady cant wait to leave the building to search for

56、her dad. Unless watched, she will walk in the streets in an effort to find her father, who died 30 years ago.Not all cases of Alzheimers disease look like this, but Alzheimers is a serious disease that is said to be the fourth or fifth leading cause of death for people over age 75.It is said that ab

57、out three percent of the U.S. population over age 65 have Alzheimers. In the early stages, people may exhibit short term memory loss. Some may experience changes in personality, easy to be angry. As the disease progresses, patients might lose the ability to move and may be unable to speak or move at

58、 all. This progressive disease generally lasts 8 to 10 years before death occurs.While no one is certain what causes these changes in the brains nerve fibers (神经纤维), their effect is certain. Alzheimers destroys not only the patients, but also spouses (配偶), friends and families.What should you do if

59、you notice progressive memory loss in yourself or a loved one? Have the person examined by a doctor who is a specialist in the treatment of Alzheimers disease. Though many reasons other than Alzheimers disease may cause memory loss, its early diagnosis (诊断) and treatment may delay some of the most s

60、erious effects.What feeling will you likely experience should a loved one suffer from Alzheimers disease? A person will often go through the various stages of sadness, shock, anger, and so on. If the spouse develops the disease, you may experience hurt and disappointment when he or she doesnt rememb

61、er you are married.Life for the Alzheimers patients and their loved ones will never be the same as the disease progresses, bringing a deep sorrow, loss and even anger towards God. No matter what feelings are present, facing them honestly will serve one better than burying them.82. What can be inferr
