单选题Everyone talks about the "five" senses of man. And it's true that we get our information about the outside world from our sense of sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste. Researchers tell us that the sense of sight--our visual--gives us up to 80% of what we know about the world outside our bodies while the other senses, the auditory (hearing), the olfactory (smell), the tactile (touch), and the gustatory(taste) bring into our brains information about the other twenty percent of what is happening. But there are two other senses that we cannot get along without, though they are very seldom given any credit for helping us to survive in this difficult world. These are the sense of balance, and the kinesthetic sense. The sense of balance, without which we would act like a drunk after a heavy bout with the bottle, is located in the inner ear. The inner ear contains three curved tubes (the semi-circular canals) tilted with liquids. The shifting of these liquids activates nerve endings in the linings of the canals and nerve impulses from these nerve endings help oar brains to keep us upright. The kinesthetic sense is actually made up of nerve impulses that arise from nerves planted in close contact with our muscles. These nerve messages are constantly telling us what position our limbs, trunk and head are in. They serve as a continuous "feed-back" system to help us know how to move our various parts, and when to held them still. Otherwise, we would lack the coordination to run, jump, dance the twist, or even sit still. Incidentally, the word "kinesthetic" comes from two Greek words meaning "motion" end "feeling." The kinesthetic sense gives us our ideas about our own motion.

单选题Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

单选题 Questions 23～25 are based on the following monologue.

单选题{{B}}Directions: {{/B}}{{I}} Read the text from a magazine article in which several people expressed their different opinions on the same issue. Please match the name of each person to one of the statements given below.{{/I}} {{B}}Ma Jian{{/B}} It' s my own decision. Why? Only for the college and specialty I like. I found my exam results fell short of my expectations. In fact, with the results, I could have entered a decent university and studied quite a good specialty. But that' s not what I like. I think my future job will be largely decided by what I learn in college and I don' t like to have a job which I dislike in future. Although I know what kind of hardships I will experience during this one-year restudy, I feel it is worth one more year restudy. {{B}}Cui Geng{{/B}} My goal is the Dept. of Biology at Peking University. I failed last year by only a few marks. Although computing is a hot faculty that many people strive to get into, I never felt settled and could not forget my dream. So I decided to quit and prepare for another exam. Indeed I face great pressure primarily because I' ve given up a hot specialty and I may fail the next exam. But I have to try whatever the risk, otherwise, it will remain a knot in my heart the rest of my life. {{B}}Zhao Zuoyi{{/B}} I think the increasing number of re-applicants who have got high scores is a normal phenomenon. It results from the general social atmosphere that reflects changes in social demand. In the 1950s, for instance, all society needed were those who could read and write. You were respected if you were a primary school graduate. Recently, talents with a higher education background are in great demand. {{B}}Mr Zheng{{/B}} Learning is not merely for learning, but for application. The purpose of learning is to improve the qualification of the learner, to adapt oneself to social development, to broaden the sphere of employment and finally to create values for oneself and society. If I consent to my son having one-year restudy, outwardly my family loses 7 000 Yuan on tuition, but the actual loss is far more than that amount.{{I}} Now match each of the persons with the appropriate statement. Note: there is one extra statement.{{/I}} {{B}}Statements{{/B}} A. I quit computing and decide to achieve my dream. B. I think learners should adapt themselves to the social development. C. I want to have a job which I like in the future. D. I think it reflects changes in social demands. E. I don' t want to lose 7 000 Yuan for my son to restudy.

单选题On November 19,1863, Abraham Lincoln went to Gettysburg in Pennsylvania to speak at the National Soldiers Cemetery. The Civil War was still going on. There was much criticism of President Lincoln at the time. He was not at all popular. He had been invited to speak at Gettysburg only out of politeness. The principal speaker was to be Edward Everett, a famous statesman and speaker of the day. Everett was a handsome man and very popular everywhere. It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while going to Gettysburg. Late that night, alone in his hotel room and tired out, he again worked briefly on the speech. The next day Everett spoke first. He spoke for an hour and 57 minutes. His speech was a perfect example of the rich oratory of the day. Then Lincoln rose. The crowd of 15,000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for only nine minutes. At the end there was little applause. Lincoln turned to a friend and remarked, "I have failed again." On the train back to Washington, he said sadly, "That speech was a flat failure, and the people are disappointed." Some newspapers at first criticized the speech. But little by little as people read the speech they began to understand better. They began to appreciate its simplicity and its deep meaning. It was a speech which only Abraham Lincoln could have made. Today, every American school child learns Lincoln's Gettysburg Address by heart. Now everyone thinks of it as one of the greatest speeches ever given in American history.
