填空题Bears have long fascinated humans. Ancient cave art and more recent paintings and sculpture illustrate the fear as well as admiration with which people regard the awesome power and acute intelligence of bears. In fairy tales, bears are the symbolic image of brave deeds. In folk literature, the bear's habit of disappearing in winter months and emerging in spring evokes a theme of spiritual renewal, the replenishment of food, and the return of prosperity. In modem times, as the recreational use of parks and wilderness areas has grown dramatically, humans have experienced increased contact with bears. Bear attacks on humans are rare, however. American black bears killed fewer than 40 people during the 20th century. Grizzly bears, a type of brown bear, are more dangerous, but attacks on humans are still rare. In United States national parks that are home to grizzlies, injury rates from grizzly bears are about one person per 2 million visitors. Bears prefer to avoid humans, but when attacks do occur, they are usually the result of humans surprising these nervous, shy, and easily frightened animals. Bears are bulky animals with wide shoulders, a short back, short and thick legs, broad paws, and a short tail. They have an elongated head, rounded ears that stand straight up, small eyes, and a long snout. Bears hunt for food using an acute sense of hearing and an extremely keen sense of smell—some can detect odors from more than a mile away. Bear eyesight is probably similar in acuity (sharpness) to human vision. Black bears, and likely other bears, have color vision, which helps them identify ripe fruits and nuts. The bear family includes eight species, each showing remarkable variation in physical features and habits. Some scientists believe that bears and animals in the raccoon family share a common ancestor and are more closely related to each other than to other carnivores. Other scientists believe that bears are more closely related to walruses and sea lions. In the past, zoologists placed the giant panda in the raccoon family, but recent analysis of the giant panda's genetic makeup and fossil evidence have convincingly established the giant panda as a member of the bear family.

填空题Have you ever heard the color blue? Or tasted the musical note F-sharp? For most people, in both cases the answer is "no". But for some people blue has a particular sound or shape, and F-sharp has a slight sour taste. This unusual blending 1 of the senses is called "synesthesia", a rarely neurological phenomenon occurring in 2 roughly 1 in 100,000 People. People with this condition do not merely associate sound with color or taste with sound, or imagine hear a sound when they see a certain 3 color. Rather, when a person with synesthesia encounters a particular sensory stimulus, and says seeing the color red, they will hear a sound even that there 4 is no outside source producing the sound. In a similar manner, a particular sound may cause someone with synesthesia to see certain shape or certain 5 colors, even when there is no object in that person"s line of sight. The same goes for taste and smell. Scientists know very little about what causes synesthesia, while it appears to be hereditary, the actual neurological processes that account with the 6 phenomenon remain a mystery. Although most scientists agree that the hippocampus, an area of the brain responsible for memory, plays a role, but 7 exactly how the hippocampus might cause synesthesia is not clear. Otherwise, scientific knowledge about synesthesia is limited to several interesting observation. For example, synesthetic perceptions remain 8 consistent over time. In other words, if a person with synesthesia sees blue 9 and green flashes when he hears a C-sharp, he will always see those same 10 colors upon hearing that note.

填空题BOOK REVIEW Mark Wertman's True Confessions of a Real Mr. Morn Most Americans agree that the workplace and the home are very different from the way they were thirty years ago. The world of work is no longer a man's world. Between 1970 and 1995, the percentage of women who worked outside the home went from 50 percent to 76 percent. In the year 2000, of the more than 55 million married couples in the United States, 10.5 million women were making more money than their husbands, and 2 million men were stay-at-home dads. Author, husband, and father Mark Wertman writes about being a stay-at-home dad in his book True Confessions of a Real Mr. Morn. His story will help other people who are learning how to live with the changing gender roles in our society. Mark and his wife, Georgine, were a two-income couple, but things changed when their first baby was born. Georgine wanted to continue her work as a lawyer, but someone had to stay at home to take care of the baby. Georgine had the higher paying job, so she became the provider. They had more children. Mark stayed at home to raise the children. In his book he tells many stories about his role in the family. At first, it was difficult to change roles. The Wertman kids often went to Mark first to talk about their problems. Georgine was jealous of the time the children spent with their father. Mark had some hard times, too. People often asked him, "When are you going to get a real job?" Even in the 21st century, society respects the role of provider more than the role of child raiser. Mark found out all about this. Mark and Georgine learned that it is very important to talk about their problems. In the beginning, Mark thought Georgine had the easy job, and Georgine thought that Mark had it easy. Later they talked it over and discovered that both jobs were difficult and rewarding. Georgine and Mark agree that talking things over and making decisions together helps their relationship. The Wertmans are happy with the results of their decision. Their children are ready for a world where men and women can choose their roles. Wertman's book is enjoyable and educational, especially for couples who want to switch roles. As Mark Wertman says, "We are society. We make the changes one by one. People have to decide on what's best for them and their families. /

填空题 Directions: In this part, you will have 5 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on the Answer Sheet. For questions 56 - 60, mark Y (for Yes) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage; N (for No) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage; NG (for Not Given) if the information is not given in the passage. Questions 56- 60 are based on the following passage. It is very difficult to say just when colonization began. The first hundred years after Christopher Columbus's journey of discovery in 1492 did not produce any settlement on the North America continent but rather some Spanish trading posts further south, a great interest in gold and adventure, and some colorful crimes in which the English had their part. John Cabot, originally from Genoa but a citizen of Venice, was established as a trader in Bristol, England, when he made a journey in 1497. But his ship, the Matthew, with its crew of eighteen, did no more than see an island ( probably off the New England coast) and return home. He and his son made further voyages across the north Atlantic which enabled the English crown to claim a "legal" title to North America. But for a long time afterwards the Europeans' interest in America was mainly confined to the Spanish activities further south. The first beginning of permanent settlement in North America was nearly a hundred years after Columbus's first voyage. The Englishman Sir Walter Raleigh claimed the whole of North America for England, calling it Virginia. In 1585 he sent a small group of people who landed in Roanoke Island, but they stayed only for a year and then went back to England with another expedition, led by Drake, in 1587. A second group who landed in 1587 had all disappeared when a further expedition arrived in 1590. The first permanent settlement in North America was in 1607. English capitalists founded two Virginia companies, a southern one based in London and a northern one based in Bristol. It was decided to give the name New England to the northern area. The first settlers in Virginia were little more than wage slaves to the company. All were men and the experiment was not very successful. Many died. Those who survived lived in miserable conditions. By 1619 the colony had only a thousand people. Statements:

填空题According to a group called the Voices Foundation, everyone has a singing voice as well as a 21 (speak) voice somewhere inside them.

填空题Read the following passage and fill in each blank with one word in three ways: according to the context; using the correct form of the given words; according to the given letters of the words. One of the questions coming into focus as we face growing scarcity of resources in the world is how to divide limited resources among countries.

At the same time, we in the United States have continued to pursue super-affluence as though there were no limits {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}how much we could consume.

As Americans consume such a(n) {{U}} {{U}} 8 {{/U}} {{/U}}(proportion) share of the world's resources, we have to question whether or not we can continue our pursuit of super-affluence in a world of {{U}} {{U}} 9 {{/U}} {{/U}}(scarce).

填空题{{B}}Section D{{/B}} Directions: In this part, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary with the appropriate words from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Questions 71 -75 are based on the following passage. On the Need for Medicine From time to time, medical science has achieved an indisputable triumph that is pure benefit for all levels of society. The conquests of tuberculosis, smallpox, and syphilis of the central nervous system should be at the top of anyone's list. But there is still formidable agenda of diseases for which there are no cures, needing much more research before their underlying mechanisms can be brought to light. Among these diseases are some for which we have only halfway technologies to offer, measures that turn out to be much more costly than we had guessed and only partly, sometimes marginally, effective. The overestimation of advance in medicine can lead to more trouble than anyone can foresee, and a lot of careful thought and analysis ought to be invested before any technology is turned loose on the marketplace. There are examples of this sort of premature, sweeping adoption of new measures in medicine. Probably none has resulted in more untoward social damage than the unpredicted, indirect but calamitous effects of the widespread introduction twenty or so years ago of Thorazine and its chemical relatives for the treatment of schizophrenia. For a while, when it was first used in state hospitals for the insane, the new line of drugs seemed miraculous indeed. Patients whose hallucinations and delusions impelled them to wild, uncontrollable behavior were discovered to be so calmed by the treatment as to make possible the closing down of many of the locked wards in asylums. Summary: Although medical science has {{U}}(71) {{/U}} many diseases previously thought incurable, some {{U}}(72) {{/U}} have been enthusiastically embraced and implemented before their potential consequences have been clearly thought out. One example is the use of drugs like Thorazine to {{U}}(73) {{/U}} schizophrenics. Even though they could not cure the disease, these drugs {{U}}(74) {{/U}} patients and controlled their bizarre {{U}}(75) {{/U}}.
