Some desert animals can survive the very strong summer heat and dryness because they have very unusual characters. The camel, for example, can 36 an increase in the temperature of its body and its blood of 9 °C. In addition, it can drink a huge 37 of water at one time, then store sufficient water in its red blood cells and other parts of its body to supply its needs for two weeks or more. The kangaroo rat(长鼻袋鼠), on the other hand, 38 all the water it needs from water that it produces during respiration(呼吸). However, most animals need to 39 a fairly constant body temperature, and will die if it rises more than 5 °C. 40 , they need to find some way to avoid the strong sun rays. Nor can many animals either store or produce water in their bodies, as the camel and kangaroo rat 41 . So they must find ways to 42 water loss from their bodies to the lowest degree.
Because very few desert animals can survive the strong rays, the temperature, and the evaporation(蒸发) rate 43 a typical summer’s day, most of them are 44 during the night. Only 45 the sun has set does the desert come fully to life. The night is 46 cool, and the darkness provides 47 , not only from the sun, but also from other animals and from the birds. So the coming of darkness is the signal 48 the large majority of animals and insects (昆虫) to continue their search for water and food. When morning comes, most of them seek 49 again: many go underground; nearly all find 50 shady and they can avoid the sun rays there.
For many kinds of insects, living in the desert is 51 than for animals. Like many desert plants, they have a waterproof skin which 52 water loss by evaporation. In addition, some insects spend all 53 most of their life below ground. Here, for most of the year at least, there is 54 wetness, and it is generally cooler than on the 55 .

第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Tests conducted at the University of Pennsylvania’s Psychological Laboratory showed that anger is one of the most difficult emotions to find out from facial expressions.
Professor Dallas E. Buzy confronted 716 students with pictures of extremely angry persons, and asked them to identify (识别) the emotion from the facial expressions. Only two percent made correct judgments. Anger was most frequently judged as “Pleased”.
And a typical reaction of a student confronted with the picture of a man who was mad was to classify his expression as either “bewildered”, “quizzical”, or simply “amazed”. Other studies showed that it is extremely difficult to tell whether a man is angry or not just by looking at his face. The investigators found further that women are better at finding out anger from facial expressions than men are. In fact, they found that psychological training does not improve one's ability to judge a man's emotions by his expressions but actually hinders it. For in the university tests, the more courses the student had taken in psychology, the poorer judgment score he turned in.
56. The information in this passage centers around ____ .
A. the relation between anger and other emotions
B. the differences between men and women with respect to emotion
C. the influence of psychology on human emotions
D. the discovery of anger from facial expressions
57. When tested, students with psychological training _____ .
A. marked less than two percent of their possible choices correctly
B. did better than the average student in the group
C. seemed less able to judge correctly than the average student
D. performed in a manner not specified in the passage
58. To achieve the greatest success in finding out anger from facial expressions, it would be best to ____.
A. use adults rather than students as judges
B. ask women who do not study psychology to judge it
C. ask men rather than women to judge it
D. be satisfied with a two percent success, if such a percentage is guaranteed (保证)
B
Our culture has caused most Americans to assume not only that our language is universal but that the gestures we use are understood by everyone. We do not realize that waving good-bye is the way to summon a person from the Philippines to one’s side, or that in Italy and some Latin-American countries, curling the finger to oneself is a sign of farewell.
Those private citizens who sent packages to our troops occupying Germany after World War II and marked them GIFT to escape duty payments did not bother to find out that “Gift” means poison in German. Moreover, we like to think of ourselves as friendly, yet we prefer to be at least 3 feet or an arm’s length away from others. Latins and Middle Easterners like to come closer and touch, which makes Americans uncomfortable.
Our linguistic (语言上的) and cultural blindness and the casualness(随意性) with which we take notice of the developed tastes, gestures, customs and languages of other countries, are losing us friends, business and respect in the world.
Even here in the United States, we make few concessions (让步) to the needs of foreign visitors. There are no information signs in four languages on our public buildings or monuments; we do not have multilingual (多语的) guided tours. Very few restaurant menus have translations, and multilingual waiters, bank clerks and policemen are rare. Our transportation systems have maps in English only and often we ourselves have difficulty understanding them.
When we go abroad, we tend to cluster in hotels and restaurants where English is spoken. The attitudes and information we pick up are conditioned by those natives---usually the richer---who speak English. Our business dealings, as well as the nation’s diplomacy (外交), are conducted through interpreters.
For many years, America and Americans could get by with cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance (无知). After all, America was the most powerful country of the free world, the distributor of needed funds and goods.
But all that is past. American dollars no longer buy all good things, and we are slowly beginning to realize that our proper role in the world is changing. A 1979 Harris poll reported that 55 percent of Americans want this country to play a more significant role in world affairs; we want to have a hand in the important decisions of the next century, even though it may not always be the upper hand.
59. It can be inferred that Americans being approached too closely by Middle Easterners would most probably ____.
A. stand still B. jump aside C. step forward D. draw back
60. The author gives many examples to criticize Americans for their ___.
A. cultural self-centeredness B. casual manner
C. lime care about foreign visitors D. overproudness towards other cultures
61. In countries other than their own most Americans____.
A. are kept apart by me local people
B. are not well informed due to the language barrier(障碍)
C. tend to get along well with the natives
D. need interpreters in hotels and restaurants
62. According to me author, Americans’ cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance(无知) will____.
A. affect their image(形象) in the new era
B. cut themselves off from the outside world
C. limit their role in world affairs
D. weaken the position of the US dollar
63. The author’s intention in writing this article is to make Americans realize that ____ .
A. It is dangerous to ignore their foreign friends
B. it is important to maintain their leading role in world affairs
C. it is necessary to use several languages in public places
D. it is time to get familiar with other cultures

Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring (令人厌烦的) environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random (任意的) from the population, it is likely that their degrees or intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical (完全相同的) twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other.
Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates (表明) that environments as well as birth play a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact (接触) with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.
64. It can be concluded that _____.
A. a person beginning to live on a lonely island alone in his late teens may be very low in intelligence
B. a person beginning to live on a lonely island alone in his late teens may be very high in intelligence
C. a husband and his wife may be similar in intelligence if they have been married long
D. a father and his son may be identical in intelligence
65. Which of these sentences best describes the writer’s point on intelligence?
A. Intelligence is determined at birth.
B. Intelligence is mainly developed by environment.
C. Some people are born clever and others stupid.
D. Intelligence is given at birth, but can be developed by environment
66. It is suggested in the passage that _____.
A. twins always have the same intelligence
B. intelligence doesn’t depend on relationship by the blood
C. unrelated people can never have similar intelligence
D. people in the same circle are likely to have similar intelligence
67. The best title for this article would be ______ .
A. On intelligence B. What does intelligence mean
C. We are born with intelligence D. Environments play a part in developing intelligence
D
