单选题On his visit to his hometown, the writer found the old apartment building ______.

单选题The idea of a fish being able to generate electricity strong enough to light lamp bulbs--or even to run a small electricmotor-is almost unbelievable, but several kinds of fish are able to do this. Even more strangely, this curious power has been acquired in different ways by fish belonging to very different families. Perhaps the best known are the electric rays, or torpedoes (电鳐), of which several kinds live in warm seas. They possess on each side of the head, behind the eyes, a large organ consisting of a number of hexagonal shaped cells rather like a honeycomb. The cells are filled with a jelly-like substance, and contain a series of flat electric plates. One side, the negative side, of each plate, is supplied with very fine nerves, connected with a main nerve coming from a special part of the brain. Current passes from the upper, positive side of the organ downwards to the negative, lower side. Generally it is necessary to touch the fish in two places, completing the circuit, in order to receive a shock. The strength of this shock depends on the size of the fish, but newly born ones only about 5 centimetres across can be made to light the bulb of a pocket flashlight for a few moments, while a fully grown torpedo gives a shock capable of knocking a man down, and, if suitable wires are connected, will operate a small electric motor for several minutes. Another famous example is the electric eel. This fish gives an even more powerful shock. The system is different from that of the torpedo in that the electric plates run longitudinally (纵向) and are supplied with nerves from the spinal (脊骨) cord. Consequently, the current passes along the fish from head to tail. The electric organs of these fish are really altered muscles and like all muscles are apt (likely) to tire, so they are not able to produce electricity for very long. The power of producing electricity may serve these fish both for defence and attack.

单选题Charleson Then I make a commitment to keep talking even when it might not be comfortable—in other words, to work at it. The will to talk is important to becom a better talker. I think one reason I' ve had a certain amount of success in broadcasting is that the audience can see that. I love what I' m doing. You can' t fake that. And if you try, you will fail. Rew Careful listening makes you a better taller. Good follow-up questions are the mark of a good conversationalist. I find this is always true. Actually, I have an important rule that I remind myself of every morning: nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I' m going to learn, I have to do it by listening. Sapir The best conversationalists are capable of talking about issues and experiences beyond their own daily lives. You can expand your world through travel, but you can also do it without leaving your own back yard. The point is: people with backgrounds different from your own can help you and your thinking. Tate Anybody I' ve ever talked to for more than a few minutes knows at least two things about me: I' m from Brooklyn, New York, and I' m Chinese. That' s because I' m deeply proud of both. You should be as open and honest with your conversational partners as you' d want them to be with you, willing to reveal what your background is and what your likes and dislikes are. Aza One of my cardinal rules of conversation is never to stay too serious too long. Similarly, a key quality I look for in a potential guest is a sense of humor, preferably self-deprecating. Frank Sinatra' s never been afraid to make fun of himself—I think the key to his story—and most appealing to the audience—is that he so obviously enjoys retelling this joke at his own expense. Now match each of the persons with the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. StatementsA. Be the genuine you.B. You don' t have to be quotable.C. Luck is the key.D. Attitudes counts.E. Keep it light.F. Remember to take turns.G. Broaden your horizons.

单选题Why did Joy leave her children in the car?

单选题Space is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors (流星) but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation (辐射) from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage. Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called "rem". Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage—a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed (畸形的) children or even grandchildren. Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation and, during the outward and return journeys, the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in space laboratory. Rugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.

单选题 {{B}}Shelly{{/B}} She' s absolutely adorable. I think she' s very pretty, she makes me laugh a lot, um... she tells terrible jokes but I like the way she tells them. She' s a bit naughty sometimes and I curse her when she gets me up at six o' clock in the morning, but when I hear her singing in the morning, well, all is forgiven. She can twist me round her little finger, of course. {{B}}Terry{{/B}} Well, he' s quite well-dressed and punctual. Sometimes he' s cheerful and tells us jokes, but other times we have to do a lot of work. We don' t really know him very well. Oh, I know he' s married, but I' ve never met him socially or anything like that. He seems very professional. {{B}}Angel{{/B}} I' ve never actually spoken to him. Mumm, I see him everyday, of course, as he leaves his car and gets in the lift to his office on the top floor. He' s always terribly well-dressed, and he must wear expensive after-shave because you can still smell it ten minutes after he' s gone. {{B}}Cherry{{/B}} People are generally very nice, but well, there are some difficult ones. They shout at you for walking on the garden, or for not shutting the gate, or because you have shut the gate, or they park their cars so that you can' t actually get to their front door. And of course there are the dogs. I prefer dogs, the ones, but.., when there' s one going for me I' m terrified of them: {{B}}Victoria{{/B}} He was very boring and predictable. The kind of person who remembered birthdays and anniversaries, but who made you angry because there was absolutely nothing spontaneous about him. His ideas of fun were too unadventurous.
