17．Dogs and other hairy mammals shake at just the right frequencies to get rid of water most quickly from their bodies-and directly on to any unlucky humans nearby．Mice do it．So do tigers and pandas．These animals really know how to shake．Frequency is the number of cycles-movements back and forth-per second．
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta recently recorded videos of 40different animals，standing for 15different species．The scientists wanted to see how wet，hairy mammals shake off water after they get wet．The scientists say the animals shake at just the right frequencies to lose water drops as quickly as possible．"I think it's pretty amazing that they can do that，"David Hu，one of the scientists，said．
This study was led by Andrew Dickerson，a graduate student in Hu's lab．His team calls this get-dry shake"nature's analogy（类似） to the spin cycle of a washing machine"．Both the washing machine and shaking animals can get rid of water quickly-but animals are much faster than washing machines．For animals，this process helps them control heat in their bodies．
"If a dog couldn't dry itself，it would have to use 25percent of its daily calories to heat its body to get rid of the water，"Hu said．"Every time they got wet they would get hypothermia and die．"
The bigger the animal，the slower it shakes，according to Dickerson and his team．A mouse moves its body back and forth 27times per second，but a bear shakes only four times per second．
Animals'skin also helps them get rid of water．The scientists are continuing to look at how animals interact with water in the natural world．In particular，the scientists want to know how water interacts with hair-which means studying animals that have got used to life in the water，like beavers and otters．

24．Which of the following animals is not likely to be studied in the experiments？D
A．A panda． B．A tiger． C．A cat． D．A snake．
25．What can we learn from the passage？B
A．Professor David Hu led the study．
B．A dog shakes off water at a higher speed than a washing machine．
C．Animals shake off water to keep themselves cool．
D．A dog shakes off water faster than a mouse．
26．How did David Hu feel about the video？A
A．Surprised． B．Encouraged． C．Excited． D．Amused．
27．Which of the following does hypothermia probably refer to？C
A．a disease caused by hunger
B．a disease caused by getting too hot．
C．a disease caused by getting too cold．
D．a disease caused by shaking too fast．

4．It happened to me recently．I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President．A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was，in his words，"a brilliantly （精彩地）written book"．However，he then went on to talk about Mr．Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all．I sensed that I was talking to a book liar．
And it seems that my friend is not the only one．Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven't．In the World Book Day's"Report on Guilty Secrets"，Dreams From My Father is at number 9．The report lists ten books，and various authors，which people have lied about reading，and as I'm not one to lie too often （I'd hate to be caught out），I'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten．But I am pleased to say that，unlike 42percent of people，I have read the book at number one，George Orwell's 1984．I think it's really brilliant．
The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it．It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen，Charles Dickens，Fyodor Dostoevsky （I haven't read him，but haven't lied about it either） and Herman Melville．
Asked why they lied，the most common reason was to"impress"someone they were speaking to．This could be tricky if the conversation became more in-depth!
But when asked which authors they actually enjoy，people named J．K．Rowling，John Grisham，Sophie Kinsella （ah，the big sellers，in other words）．Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story （I'll come clean：I do this and am astonished that 58percent said they had never done so）．

6．How did the author find his friend a book liar？D
A．By judging his manner of speaking．
B．By looking into his background．
C．By mentioning a famous name．
D．By discussing the book itself．
7．Which of the following is a"guilty secret"according to the World Book Day report？B
A．Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list．
B.42% of people pretended to have read 1984．
C．The author admitted having read 9books．
D．Dreams From My Father is hardly read．
8．By lying about reading，a person hopes toB．
A．control the conversation
B．appear knowledgeable
C．learn about the book
D．make more friends
9．What is the author's attitude to 58% of readers？C
A．Favorable．
B．Uncaring
C．Doubtful
D．Friendly．

14．Pierre is a 25-year-old penguin（企鹅）at the California Academy of Sciences．Due to his old age，he was losing his feathers，which made him feel too cold to swim in the pool．Therefore，biologists at the academy had a wet suit created for this penguin to help him get back in the swimming pool．
Unlike marine（海生的）mammals，which have a layer of blubber（鲸脂）to keep them warm，penguins depend on their waterproof feathers．Without them，Pierre was unwilling to jump into the swimming pool and ended up trembling on the side of the pool while his 19peers played in the water．
"He was cold；he would shake，"said Pam Schaller，a senior biologist．Schaller first tried a heat lamp to keep Pierre warm．Then she got another idea：if wet suits keep humans warm in the cold Pacific，why not make one for Pierre？
Schaller designed the suit，which covered Pierre's body and had small openings for his flippers （鳍）．
"I would walk behind him and look at where there were any gaps，and cut and refit until it looked like it was extremely suitable．"she said．
One concern was that the other penguins would reject Pierre in his new suit，but in fact，they accepted his new look．He swam freely and got along with others well，although he was the only penguin with a black stomach．
Schaller couldn't say for sure whether the wet suit allowed Pierre to recover his fine feathers，but"certainly we were able to keep him comfortable during a period of time that would have been very difficult for him to stay comfortable"．
Pierre will take off his suit after his new feathers grow back．
28．Pierre felt too cold to swim in the pool because ofA．

A．total invention
B．the use of wet suit on humans
C．the use of heat lamp
D．waterproof feathers
30．Schaller followed Pierre in order to seeD．
A．whether other penguins would reject him
B．whether the wet suit would keep the feathers from recovering
C．if the wet suit kept warm
D．if anywhere of the wet suit needed to be cut and refit
31．The best title of the passage isC．
A．Unwilling to Swim
B．Old Penguin Getting Bald（秃的）
C．Wet suit for An old Penguin
D．Strange Look of Pierre．

1．The Puritans （新教徒） get a bad reputation in America-especially when it comes to alcohol．
Mayflower，the first ship that came over from England to Massachusetts Bay，actually carried more beer than water．In fact the Founding Fathers of America liked a drink-Samuel Adams was a partner in his father brewery，and Thomas Jefferson was famous for importing European wines．
Early Americans took a healthful small drink for breakfast，whiskey was a typical lunchtime drinks ale （麦芽酒） accompanied supper and the day ended with another drink called nightcap．Most Americans in 1790consumed an average of 5.8gallons of pure alcohol a year．In 1830，consumption reached 7.1gallons a year and alcoholism was starting to have a serious influence on communities．Women and children might be in physical danger if the man of the house began drinking．If he became ill or lost his job through drinking，there was no social safety net to support or protect his family．Eventually，alcoholism was being treated as a disease．
By the late 19th Century，support for Prohibition，banning the manufacture and sale of alcohol，was powerful．The first arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol was in 1897．On 16January 1919，Prohibition was set into law．However，by the 1930s when American economy was experiencing a hard time it was widely believed that making alcohol legal again would provide badly-needed jobs and taxes．So in February of 1933，Prohibition was ended．Still，Prohibition had a great influence on alcohol drinking in this country．In 1955，Americans drank an average of 2.3gallons of pure alcohol a year．The Prohibition movement was still quite strong after Prohibition ended and it led to a lot of local prohibition on alcohol．
The American presidency has done a lot to rehabilitate alcohol and make it respectable again．Presidents Richard Nixon，Jimmy Carter，Bill Clinton，Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama can all be seen on film drinking socially and making official toasts with international celebrities．
32．Which is TRUE about the Puritans according to the passage？C
