Passage 1
All living things live according to rules or patterns affecting when and how they do things. These rules are called biological rhythms. They affect every living thing in some way. Some scientists think that biological rhythms are related to the cycle of day and night and to the motion of the moon.
For example, flying squirrels are nocturnal animals. Nocturnal animals are active mostly at night. The flying squirrel becomes active at dusk and return to its nest at dawn. Even if the flying squirrel were kept in a dark room, it would sill be active mostly during the nigh-time hours. The squirrel would not be active during daylight hours, even though the squirrel could not see daylight. This inner control system is sometimes called a biological clock. A biological clock refers to inner 15
controls that seem to be timed by outside or environmental events that happen in regular pattern. Some examples of these patterns are day and night, seasons, and tides.
Different animals have different biological clocks that control ovulation. Some animal such as frogs, chickens and turtles lay eggs, and others carry the egg inside. Both kinds of animals ovulate.

Passage 2
A star usually is someone who has become famous in sports, film, or pop music, someone like singer Michael Jackson. In the middle nineteen eighties, Michael Jackson successfully made a 16
famous record, which quickly became the most popular recording in the history of music. This made Michael Jackson a bright star.
One of the famous sports bright stars in the United States is Mohammed Ali. When he was a young man, he won a gold medal in the Olympic Games as a boxer. Then, he won first place in the world heavy weight boxing match. Before long, he was known as one of the greatest and most famous boxers in sports history. Everyone knows his name.

Passage 3
The man who brings my milk used to knock for his money for the week’s milk while I was eating breakfast on Saturday morning. Just lately he has been arriving before I get up. Workforce shortages mean that four men are sharing five rounds, so he has to start earlier.
Delivering milk to people’s homes is hardly good business, especially when the customer may have a choice of two or three firms serving a single road. In spite of my local difficulties, however, labor troubles are not as great as a few years ago. There are enough men prepared to make an early morning start for the sake of an open-air job with a fair measure of freedom. If they did stop calling, women would find it hard work to collect all the milk they need from self-service stores. Dairies（乳品业）know that stopping deliveries in the United States resulted in falling sales.
Marketing ideas have included introducing extra lines, in addition to dairy products, which the milkmen can carry to increase business. One dairyman said, “It won’t be long before the milkman delivers more bread than milk.” Some milkmen deliver potatoes, and it seems as though variety will be limited only by the size of the trucks.
17
So the milkman is likely to remain a familiar figure, and the dairy products he sells are
unlikely to change very much in this decade. Flavored （味道） milk is popular on the Continent. In Britain those who like it buy plain milk and add their own flavoring. Even the returnable bottle continues to be used. As long as it has a reasonable life — 30 to 40 trips are usual — the cost of collection and cleaning is worthwhile.
11. The milkmen now start earlier on their delivery rounds than before because ___________.
A. there is an increasing demand for milk delivery
B. they hope to reach the customers’ home in time
C. they have to collect the money for the week’s milk house to house
D. dairies are short of deliverymen and the companies worry about falling sales
12. Why are there enough men prepared to make an early morning start?
A. Because they can enjoy a certain amount of freedom in the fresh air.
B. Because they like working outdoors and breathe the air freely.
C. Because they can enjoy a great amount of freedom outdoors.
D. Because they like walking freely in the fresh air.
13. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. One of the marketing ideas is variety.
B. the milkman now delivers more bread than milk.
C. Milkmen have taken over many rounds given up by bakeries.
D. Some milkmen deliver potatoes in addition to dairy products.
14. According to the passage, in this decade ___________.
A. milkmen will disappear very soon B. flavored milk will become popular in Britain
C. people will buy milk from self-service stores
D. there will be little change in the dairy business
15. It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.
A. the British people seldom buy plain milk
B. the returnable bottles are no longer used
C. collection and cleaning of the returnable bottles cost nothing
D. the returnable bottles won’t be thrown away until they are used dozens of times

Passage 4
In the 1930s, a lot of people in the USA were out of work. Among these people was a man named Alfred Butts. He always had an interest in word games and so, to fill his time, he planned a game which he called “Lexico”. However, he was not completely satisfied with the game, so he made a number of changes to it and, in time, changed its name from “Lexico” to “Alph” and then to “Criss Cross”. He wanted to make some money from his new game but he didn’t have any real commercial（商业性的）success. In 1939, Butts happened to meet a man called Jim Brunot who 18
showed an interest in the new game. The two men worked together on developing the game and in 1948 it was offered for sale in the United States under its new name—“Scrabble”. At first, it
didn’t sell very well. In the first year it sold just 2,250 sets and by 1951 it had only reached 8,500 sets a year. Then, in 1952 the manager of Macy's department store in New York, Jack Strauss, happened to play “Scrabble” while he was on holiday. He thought it was a wonderful game and, when he went back to work after his holiday, he insisted that Macy’s should stock（储备）the game and make an effort（努力）to call the public’s attention to it. As a result, “Scrabble” became a big success in the United States and it soon spread to Australia and then to other English-speaking countries.

A. “Lexico” B. three men
C. a word game D. Alfred Butts 17. Alfred Butts invented the game “Lexico” ________. A. to make himself famous B. to make spelling simpler

In Britain there are a number of different kinds of institutions of Higher Education. First of all, of course, there are the universities. Nobody can have failed to have heard of Oxford and Cambridge, the two oldest universities in England, but, of course, there is a large number of universities, many of which have opened since the war. The latest of these is the Open University, a unique institution, which, as its name suggests, is open to all. Students of the Open University are not obliged to have any previous qualifications. All the students are part time and are taught through the medium of television and radio, although they do receive some personal tuition as well as through centers located near their own homes. The first graduates were awarded their degrees in 1973.
Besides the universities there are other institutions such as Poly-mechanics and Technical Colleges. These tend to offer courses of a vocational mature as well as academic courses. If a D. only famous people can make inventions 19
student wants to study Management, Accounting or Librarianship, for example, he would be more likely to go to one of these institutions. Colleges of Education provide training and education for prospective teachers.
The vast majority of students receive grants from their Local Authority, which cover tuition fees and allow a certain amount of money to the students to pay for their keep and their books. Most of the colleges and universities have a good proportion of students from overseas.

Passage 7
The news report that night was a famine(饥饿)in Ethiopia. The pictures were of people who were so thin that they looked like beings from another planet. The camera focused（聚焦）on one man so that he looked directly at me, sitting in my comfortable living room. All around was the sound of death.
It was clear that the world had not noticed this until now, you could hear the sadness in the voice of the reporter, Michael Buerk. At the end of the reporter he was silent. Paula started crying, then rushed upstairs to check our baby, Fifi, who was sleeping peacefully.
I kept seeing the news pictures in my mind. What could I do? I was only a pop singer and by now not a very successful pop singer. All I could do was to make records which no one bought. But I would do that, I would give all the profits of the next Rats (the name of the music group he was in) record to Oxfam(an organization in Britain which helps poor music people around the world). What good would that do! It would only be a little money but it was more than I could give just from my bank account. Maybe some people would buy it because the profits were for Oxfam.

Passage 9
Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak, For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues(自言自语)as: “ Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract（对抗）your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If our energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam（鼓起干劲）and work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search D. only famous people can make inventions 23
for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.
41. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ______.
A) he is a lazy person
B) he refuses to follow his own energy cycle
C) he is not sure when his energy is low
D) he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening
42. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?
A) Unawareness of energy cycles.
B) Familiar monologues.
C) A change in a family member’s energy cycle.
D) Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.
43. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should _____.
A) change his energy cycle
B) overcome his laziness C) get up earlier than usual D) go to bed earlier
44. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ______.
A) help to keep your energy for the day’s work
B) help you to control your temper early in the day

45. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?

Passage 13
How can you find out what is going on inside a person’s body without opening the patient’s body up? Regular X rays can show a lot. CAT scans（扫描仪）can show even more. They can give a complete view of body organs（器官）.
What is a CAT scan? CAT stands for a kind of machine. It is a special X-ray machine that gets a 360-degree picture of a small area of a patient’s body.
Doctors use X rays to study and determine diseases and injuries within the body. X rays can
A CAT scanner, however, uses a group of X rays to give a cross-sectional（横截面）view of a specific part of the body. A fine group of X rays is scanned across the body and around the patient from many different directions. A computer studies the information form each direction and produces a clear cross-sectional picture on a screen. This picture is then photographed for later use. Several cross sections, taken one after another, can give clear “photos” of the entire body or 27
of any body organs. The newest CAT scanners can even give clear pictures of active, moving organs, just as a fast-action camera can “stop the action”, giving clear pictures of what appears unclear to the eye. And because of the 360-degree pictures, CAT scans show clear and complete views of organs in a manner that was once only shown during operation or examination of a dead patient.
Frequent appearance before X rays can cause skin burns, cancer or other damage to the body. Yet CAT scans actually don’t cause the patient to more radiation（辐射）than regular X rays do. CAT scans can also be done without getting something harmful into the patient, so they are less risky that regular X rays.
CAT scans provide exact, detailed information. They can quickly find such a thing as
bleeding inside the brain. They are helping to save lives.
61. What is NOT true of a CAT scan?
A) It is safer than regular X rays.
B) It makes use of computer techniques.
C) It can stop the action of an organ for a short time.
D) It gives clear pictures of active, moving body parts.
62. The underlined words “a foreign object” (Para 3) most probably refer to ____________.
A) a badly injured part inside the body
B) a new thing that is unknown to the doctor
C) a strange organ that has grown in the body
D) an object that gets inside the body by chance
63. What is the special use of the latest CAT scanners?
A) It provides clear photos of moving organs.
B) It can take 3-dimension （三维） pictures of inside organs.
C) It won’t cause serious skin burns, cancer or other damage to the body.
D) It helps to find out what is going on inside a person’s body without opening it up.
64. We can infer from this passage that _____________.
A) patients in front of CAT may suffer from a bit of radiation
B) doctors need no opening-up of the body with CAT scanners
C) CAT scanners are more expensive that regular X-ray machines
D) CAT scanners can take photos of either the whole body or a part of it

Man always wanted to fly. For hundreds of years they watched birds flying and wished that they could fly too. Birds fly very easily. They beat (打) the air with their wings (翅膀) and climb up through the air. The air keeps them up.
Man knew how to make kites hundreds of years ago. Kites could stay in the air for many hours. “If birds and kites can stay up in the air, perhaps we can,” they thought.
At first they made wings like birds. Then they jumped off high buildings and tried to fly. Many men did this but they failed to fly. Can you guess which way? They tried balloons (气球). “Hot air is lighter than cold air,” they said. “That is why hot air goes upwards. If we fill a balloon with hot air, it will go upwards.”
It was time for man to fly. In October 1783 another of the brothers’ balloons went up. This time a man went with it. The balloon did not rise very far. It went only to twenty-five metres. It was tied to the ground by a rope (绳子). A month later two men went up in a balloon full of hot air. This time there was no rope. A great group of people watched. The balloon rose to the height (高) of 900 metres. Then it came slowly back to earth. Men had traveled through the air for the first time.
Later, airships were made and they were filled with a gas (气体) called hydrogen. But the hydrogen gas was dangerous. It caught fire very easily. At last they stopped making airships.

From the world’s heaviest apple, the oldest lady to the world’s smallest dog, these are all
parts of a group of the world’s strangest people and things. And they are all in the Guinness Book of Records (《吉尼斯记录》).
29
The book is going to celebrate its birthday this August. It began exactly half a century ago. And it’s always one of the best selling books in the world.
People now can break over 100 records every week! Why do so many people want to break the records? Do they want their names in the book or meet more people around the world? “It gives people a chance to show they’re the best in the world.” said one of the record keepers Stewart Newport.
The book was started by Hugh Beaver from Britain. In 1951, he went shooting birds and talked with his friends about the fastest bird in Europe. Three years later, they were still talking about it. So Beaver believed that people must have different ideas. So, he decided to start a book to record the world’s truly greatest people and things in it!
The newest book came out last Tuesday. This book has a lot of interesting records. Here are two:
☆A British dog, Whitney, is the world’s smallest dog. It’s only 76 mm tall.
☆An American woman Lee Redmond has the longest fingernails (指甲). They grew as long as 600 mm! She made the record in 1971.

Can we live without salt? Salt is very important to us. We need salt in our food. Animals need it, too. Most of the salt in our country comes from the sea. People dig very big pools (池塘) and let sea water in . When the sun dries (弄干) up the water, people can get salt from the ground. The salt is white, clean and beautiful.
There are a lot of salt wells (井) in Sichuan. A salt well is much like a water well. People bring the well water up to the ground and then dry it in big jars (坛子) over fire. In this way they get salt. We can also get salt from salt mines (矿). A salt mine may be found under the ground. Some years ago, people in Jiangxi found a big salt mine and soon opened it. People here need salt from other places no more.
In the northwest of our country, there are many salt lakes. Some of these lakes are very big. The salt in a big lake will be enough for our people for centuries.
