Through
a series of experiments an
American scientist has gained an understanding of the social structure of the
most complex of ant societies. The ants examined are the only creatures other
than man to have given up hunting and collecting for a completely agricultural
way of life. In their underground nests they plant gardens on soils made from
finely cut leaves. This is a complex operation requiring considerable division
of labor. The workers of this type of ant can be divided into four groups
according to size. Each of the groups performs a particular set of jobs.
The making and care of the gardens and the nursing of the young ants are done
by the smallest workers. Slightly larger workers are responsible for cutting
leaves to make them suitable for use in the gardens and for cleaning the nest.
A third group of still larger ants do the construction work and collect fresh
leaves from outside the nest. The largest are soldier ants, responsible for
defending the nest.
To find out how good the various size - groups are at different tasks, the
scientist measured the amount of work done by the ants against the amount of
energy they used. He examined first the gathering and carrying of leaves. He
selected one of the size groups, and then measured how efficiently these ants
could find leaves and run back to the nest. Then he repeated the experiment for
each of the other size groups. In this way he could see whether any group could
do the job more efficiently than the group normally undertaking it.
The intermediate-sized (中等的) ants that normally
perform this task proved to be the most efficient for their energy costs, but
when the scientist examined the whole set of jobs performed by each group of
ants, it appeared that some sizes of worker ants were not suited to the
particular jobs they performed .
60.
According to the passage, the ants______.
A. grow something in their nests
B. go hunting for a living
C. cut leaves to make a fire
D. do each of the jobs all together
61.
It is observed that slightly larger ants perform more of
the______.
A. construction tasks B. defensive work
C. household tasks D. dangerous work
62.
The underlined word "good" means ______.
A. co-operating B. efficient
C. hardworking D. responsible
63.
The experiments made by the scientist were based on ______.
A. special methods B. scientific theories
C. personal interests D. systematic observations
C
If you
want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research
finding of a team of Japanese doctors who say that most of our brains are not
getting enough exerciseand as a result, we are aging unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in
northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a
relatively early age, and how the process of aging could be slowed down.
With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring
brain volumes (容量) of a thousand people of
different ages and jobs.
Computer technology enabled the researchers to get right measurements of the
volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect
and emotion, and determine the human character. Contraction (收缩) of the front and side parts as cells died was observed in some
subjects in their thirties, but it was still not clear in some sixty and
seventy-year-olds.
Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy (补救) to the contraction normally associated with ageusing the head.
The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner
in people in the country than in towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa,
are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar
workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to
have shrinking (萎缩) brains as farm workers,
bus drivers and shop assistants.
Matsuzawa's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking.
Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain
cells need. "The best way to keep good blood circulation is through using
the brain," he says, "Think hard and engage in conversation. Don't
rely on pocket calculators."
64.
The team of doctors wanted to find out ______.
A. why certain people age sooner than others
B. how to make people live much longer
C. the size of certain people's brains
D. the people with more intelligence
65.
On what are their research findings based?
A. A survey of farmers in northern Japan.
B. Tests performed on a thousand old people.
C. The study of brain volumes of different people.
D. The latest development of computer technology.
66.
Matsuzawa thinks that _______.
A. our brains grow as we grow older
B. the front section of the brain does not shrink
C. sixty-year-old people have better brains than thirty-year-olds
D. the contraction of brains is connected with brain exercise
67.
According to the passage, which people seem to age slower than
others?
A. Farmers. B. Lawyers.
C. Government workers. D. Shop assistants.
D
There
are few ads that have stood the test of time. Certain ads are simple and
outstanding; they are classics. Good ads work on two levels: they engage the
mind of the consumer and at the same time deliver a selling message.
Spokespeople and celebrities have been an important part of many classic ads.
Michael Jordan, the premier spokesperson of the 1990s, delivered believable
commercials for Diet Coke, Wheaties, and Nike, to name but a few. His animated
Coke ads, with a variety of cartoon characters, shown during the 1992 and 1993
Super Bowls, produced awareness scores five times higher than normal.
Drama is often an important aspect of successful advertising. One of the most
dramatic advertisements ever produced was a commercial for the launch of the
Apple Macintosh computer that took on Apple's most serious competitor, IBM. The
stark images of the classic George Orwell novel 1984 came alive in this
commercial, which only ran once, during the 1984 Super Bowl before 100 million
viewers. Not only was this ad a fascinating drama, it also demonstrated the
power of a timely media buy.
Significant images are another important part of advertising. Nike, with its
"Just do it" campaign has provided the intended audienceyoung
athletic men and women, or athletic "wannabes" - with rewarding
praise for the physically fit and constant inspiration for the unfit to release
their lethargy (倦怠). These images of men and
women committed (承诺) to " no pain-no
gain," both inspire and challenge. This imagery is heightened through
excellent photography, the use of celebrities, and dramatic situations. It is a
type of advertising called, rather literally, image advertising. Perhaps the
most successful image advertising of all time, however, is the Marlboro
campaign, which has been running since 1955. With great single-mindedness the
campaign has focused on western imagery with cowboys, horses, and farms. The
cowboy myth is a strong and exciting image. This campaign has been successful
both as communication and as a marketing effort. It has helped to make Marlboro
the best-selling cigarette in the world.
68.
In the author's opinion, classic ads intend to _____.
A. raise the customer's energy and encourage them to take exercise
B. start a campaign to focus on western images and forerunners
C. include spokespersons, famous stars and lovely cartoons
D. attract customers and meanwhile send selling ideas
69.
The author says "Perhaps the most successful image
advertising of all time, however, is the Marlboro campaign", probably
because of _______.
A. the dramatic situation B. the clear photo
C. the appealing image D. the good quality cigarettes
70.
Which of the following is true?
A. Image advertising consists of photography, famous people and dramatic
situations.
B. Cartoon characters can improve awareness of social problems.
C. Ads based on literature prove more successful.
D. Many ads can bear the test of time.

Remember
when a trip to the supermarket was nothing more than a boring thing requiring
little or no specialized knowledge? You could send your kids into a cart while
you did shopping. You always bought the same brands, usually the brands your
mother bought. You didn't know about unit pricing, and furthermore, you didn't
care. It never occurred to you to read the labels on anything. After all, you'd
bought these things a hundred times.
But now, I really look on those days with a feeling of yearn (怀旧). How innocent we were! How carefree were those trips to the
supermarket. No worries. Today a trip to the supermarket is filled with social
influence. Every time I buy pork chops I think about the years I'm shaving from
my life. I keep a careful eye on the freshness date and examine the tamper -
proof packaging. I am a victim of that most dangerous social disease: shoppers'
panic.
I didn't realize how serious my condition had become until the last time I
needed laundry soap. It seemed simple enough. Just run into the market, grab a
box of the old reliable and pay for it. I hadn't planned on discovering Ecover,
a new brand of laundry soap. It sat quietly on the shelf right next to my old
reliable. "Healthy, gentle but effective. "My respect for it deepened
with each new claim as I read the entire package. Then I looked at the price: $
5.69 for 2 pounds. $ 5.69 ! I cast a quick glance at the old reliable, still on
sale for $ 1.39.
Six bucks for laundry soap! These people must be crazy! Who's going to pay six
bucks for laundry soap? It's not as though I can't afford it. See, it's
concentrateduse less, get more. BUT SIX BUCKS! And the box is made from
recycled materials. . . . This act went on for a solid half hour, after which I
left the shelf without any soap at all.
Surely the meat department is most threatening place. Remember when protein was
good for you? That's all over. Every bite you take kills you. I won't even
mention meat's moral influence.
When all is said and done, we still must eat. I gather up my healthy cooking
oil and my recycled paper towels and head to the checkout counter.
71.
In the first paragraph, the author mainly wants to tell us that
in the past________.
A. it was convenient to go shopping in the supermarket
B. shopping in the supermarket was very boring
C. we never read the labels of commodities in the supermarket
D. we used to buy the same brands of products in the supermarket
72.
Recalling the old days' shopping in the supermarket, the author
thinks it was_____
A. pleasant B. fresh C. dangerous D. crazy
73.
Eating pork chops will mean that ______.
A. you must have a shave after that
B. you should think of the old days
C. you are killing yourself slowly
D. you must go on diet after that
74.
In the supermarket, the author was attracted by a new brand of
laundry soap for its _____.
A. price B. claims C. package D. shape
75.
What's the author's problem?
A. She is too poor to afford the new brands in the supermarket.
B. She cannot not find the right laundry soap in the supermarket.
C. She has to use the most healthy things because of her poor health.
D. She is greatly affected by social influences.

1. Both Australia and New Zealand are located in the South Pacific. Australia
consists of two islands, with a population of about 20 million. English is its
official language. There is a large sheep population in Australia. As a result,
the wool industry is very important.
Like Australia, New Zealand is also made up of two islands, with English as its
official language. The sheep industry is just as important. It has a population
of 4.5 million, which is smaller than that of Australia.
2. Australia and New Zealand are alike in many ways. They both consist of two
islands, and are similarly located in the South Pacific. English is the
official language of both countries. Both countries have large sheep
populations, and the wool industry is very important to the economy of each.
However, there are also some differences between the two countries. Australia's
population of about twenty million is considerably larger than that of New
Zealand, which is about four and a half million. Australia's land area is also
much greater than New Zealand's.

1. If I had the opportunity to talk to the astronauts, I would ask them how
being in space and looking down at our world changed them. It must be amazing
to be able to see our whole planet and realize just how small it is in the
universe. How will they look at life differently now?
2. If I could talk to them, I would ask some questions about the experiments
they have conducted because I am very interested in space science and I am curious
about the detailed process and the difficulty in doing them. And I wonder
whether they ever worried about their own safety before they came back to the
earth.

10. W: Good morning, everyone. We are happy to have Professor Smith talk about
vegetable gardening . As we know, vegetable gardening is the relaxing art and
science of turning a love for growing plants into worthwhile activity. What do
you think about it, Professor Smith?
M: Well, many things make vegetable gardening a national hobby for both young
and old. For a large number of people, the thoughts of spring gardening provide
a happy escape from winter boredom. Vegetable gardeners agree that many home -
grown vegetables picked at their best are better than those vegetables
purchased from markets. From spring through late fall, a well-planned and
well-kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables, thus increasing the
nutritional value of the family diet. Having vegetables in the backyard makes
home gardening appealing to many people. In addition, vegetable gardening
provides exercise and fun for both urban and suburban families. Although the
money spent for a garden may be little, one cannot escape the fact that
gardening requires hard work and time. Many of the gardening tasks must be
performed at times that are most inconvenient. Not doing jobs that should be
done on a regular basis may result in failure and a negative feeling toward
gardening.
W: Thank you so much for your wonderful talk, Professor Smith. See you next
week.
