10.Dogs have been man's best friend for thousands of years since the Stone Age.Now scientists suspect they have discovered the root of the relationship-a dog really does understand his master's voice.Researchers have found that pet dogs process the language in a similar way to humans.
They learn to recognize the words that are spoken-the groups of consonants(辅音) and vowels.But tests suggest they also notice the more subtle(微妙的) aspects of human communication-the emotional tone,intonation and volume changes that influence the meaning of language.Scientists at Sussex University think this is because dogs process language in the same way as we do.
Twenty-five dogs were placed between two speakers playing recorded commands.Due to cross-writing(交错的) in the brain,if a dog turned its left ear towards the voice it meant the right side of the brain was processing the sound.On the contrary,turning the right ear forward meant sound was being processed in the left hemisphere.
Researchers Dr David Reby,from the University of Sussex,said,"This is particularly interesting because our results suggest that the processing of speech parts in the dog's brain is divided between the two hemispheres in a way that is actually very similar to the way it is separated in the human brain.Although we cannot say how much or in what way dogs understand information in speech from our study,we can say that dogs react to both spoken and speaker-related information and that these parts appear to be processed in different areas of the dog's brain."
33.What's the main idea of the passage?A
A.Dog's processing language is similar to human's
B.Dogs are good at processing human language.
C.Dog's language is attracting scientists'interest.
D.Dogs are a good company for people.
34.According to tests,the meaning of language in communication is not affected byA.
A.the expression  
B.the emotional tone 
C.intonation   
D.volume changes
35.How does David Reby feel about the study from his words?A
A.Satisfied   
B.Disappointed  
C.Anxious   
D.Amazed.

20.I will tell a story about a man and a woman who live in the same neighborhood.The woman is interested in the man.She uses many methods to catch his eye,or to get him to notice her.Once he sets eyes on her,or sees her,she might try to get him interested in her by being playful.In other words,she might try to make eyes at him or give him the eye.
Let us suppose that this man gets hit between the eyes.In other words,the woman has a strong effect on him.He wants to spend time with her to get to know her better.He asks her out on a date.She is so happy that she may walk around for days with stars in her eyes.She is extremely happy because this man is the apple of her eye.
On their date,the couple might eat a meal together at a restaurant.If the man is really hungry,his eyes might be bigger than his stomach.He might order more food than he can eat.When his food arrives at the table,his eyes might pop out.He might not even believe his own eyes when he sees the amount of food provided.
During their dinner,the couple might discuss many things.They might find that they see eye to eye.For example,they might agree that every crime or injury should be punished.That is,they strongly believe in the idea of an eye for an eye.They might also agree that it is wrong to pull the wool over a person's eyes.This means to try to trick a person by making him believe something that is false.

54.What's the writer's purpose in writing this passage?C
A.To show us the right ways to look at other people.
B.To tell us an interesting story between a man and a woman
C.To introduce some English expressions related to the word"eye".
D.To explain why the word"eye"has so many different meanings.
55.According to the passage,if we say that someone has stars in his/her eyes,we mean he/she isC.
A.angry     B.worried     C.happy   D.disappointed
56.By saying the man's eyes might pop out,the writer wants to show that the manA.
A.is really hungry               B.might be surprised
C.eats like a horse               D.likes wasting money
57.If we say that two people see eye to eye,we probably mean theyA.

18.Which animal has the fastest snapping jaw (突然合住的颚)?If you're guessing a shark or perhaps a larger animal,you'll have to think smaller.The trap-jaw ant,which lives in Central and South America,moves its mouth parts at 35to 63meters per second.Another way to think about this is that the ant's jaws close at 125to 233kilometers per hour.That's 2,300times faster than the blink of an eye.
Scientists were able to measure the amazing jaw speed using high-speed video techniques.Sheila Patek,a biologist,says the key is that the jaws have a springy (有弹性的) system,which is critical in getting explosive (爆发性的) speeds.
Consider a bow and arrow.If you try to throw an arrow with your arm,it won't go very far.If you use a bow,elastic energy stored in the bow is freed almost immediately when you let go of the arrow with your finger.That's exactly what really fast organisms are doing.
Maybe even more amazing than how fast these ants grab food or even enemies is how they use this same energy to move.As the ant closes its jaws,it uses them to push off the ground-all faster than the eye can see without slow motion video.A snap of the jaw can send an ant up to 8.3centimeters into the air.That's like someone who is 1.7meters jumping 13meters high!Not only can they quickly escape from enemies,but often a group of ants will start jumping all at once.It would be hard for their enemies to grab just one.

33.The fast speed of the trap-jaw ants'jaws lies inB.
A.their light bodies
B.their springy systems
C.their living environment
D.the length of their jaws
34.What does the passage use"a bow and arrow"as an example to show?C
A.How an arrow gets so much energy to fly.
B.Why the trap-jaw ants have a springy system.
C.Why the trap-jaw ants'jaws move so fast.
D.How a bow and arrow works.
35.According to the passage,the trap-jaw ants'jaws keep them safe becauseD.
A.they can catch their enemies easily with their jaws
B.their jaws make them difficult to recognize
C.their jaws help them to find food easily
D.their jaws help them to escape from their enemies.
5.A man was selling medicine at a fair(集市).At first he sold bottles of a cure(药剂)for colds for just a dollar a bottle.
Many people wanted to buy it and the man's young assistant moved quickly through the crowd collecting money and handing out bottles of the cure.
Then,when he had a big crowd,the man held up a very small bottle.
"And now,ladies and gentlemen,he shouted,"Here is the medicine you have been waiting for.The cure for old age.Drink just one bottle of this and you will live forever.
"And,ladies and gentlemen,the man continued,"I'm not going to charge you a hundred dollars a bottle for this wonderful medicine.I'm not going to charge you fifty dollars a bottle.I'm not going to charge you twenty-five dollars a bottle.Now,ladies and gentlemen,I'm going to charge you just ten dollars a bottle. Think,my friends,for ten dollars you can live forever.
    Most of the people in the crowd did not believe this.
One person shouted,"If it can make you live forever,why don't you drink it?
Then another person cried,"Yes,you look as if you're at least sixty years old.
"Thank you,sir,thank you."the man answered,"I'm so glad you said that. My real age is three hundred and twenty-nine.
The crowd laughed at this but there were still some people who wanted to believe the man.One of them spoke to the man's assistant as she passed by,"Is that true?he asked."Is he three hundred and twenty-nine?
"Don't ask me,the assistant said,"I've only worked for him for a hundred and fifty years.
25.What did the man sell at first at the fair?B
A.bottles   
B.a cure for colds  
C.a medicine that made people live forever 
D.a cure for old age
26.How much did the man charge for the cure for old age?D

C.The two men are very honest,and they would like to help people live forever.
D.The cheaper the medicine is,the more people will buy.
15.The more time scientists spend designing computers,the more they wonder at human brain.Tasks that puzzle the most advanced supercomputer-recognizing a face,reading a handwritten note-are just child's play for the 3-pound organ(器官).Most important,unlike any ordinary computer,the brain can learn from its mistakes.Researchers have tried for years to program computers to imitate the brain's abilities,but without success.
Now a growing number of designers believe they have the answer:if a computer is to work more like a person and less like an over-grown calculator,it must be built more like a brain,which distributes information across a vast interconnected web of nerve cells or neurons.
Ordinary computers work by following a chainlike sequence of detailed instructions.Although very fast,their processors can perform only one task at a time.This approach works best in solving problems that can be broken down into simpler logical pieces.The processors in a neural-network computer,by contrast,form a network much like the nerve cells in the brain.Since these artificial neurons are interconnected,they can share information and perform tasks at the same time.This two-dimensional approach works best at recognizing patterns.
Instead of programming a neural-network computer to make decisions,its maker trains it to recognize patterns in any solution to a problem by repeatedly feeding examples to the machine.Neural networks come in all shapes and sizes.Until now most existed as software simulatio ns (模拟品) because redesigning computer chips took a lot of time and money.By experimenting with different approaches through software rather than hardware,scientists have been able to avoid costly (昂贵的) mistakes.
56.It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that the most advanced supercomputerD.
A.can recognize a face and read a handwritten note
B.can learn from its mistakes
C.weighs only 3 pounds
D.can't distribute information across an interconnected web of nerve cells
57.An ordinary computer can usually do the following except thatD.
A.it must be programmed before it works
B.it can only solve one problem at a time
C.it is good at solving problems that can be broken down into simpler logical pieces
D.it is trained to make decisions
58.The main feature of a neural-network computer is thatA.
A.its processors act as an interconnected web of neurons
B.it is programmed to make decisions
C.its networks are of all shapes and sizes
D.its neurons are artificial
59.What does"this two-dimensional approach"in the third paragraph refer to?C
A.the conventional computer and the neural computer.
B.making decisions and recognizing patterns.
C.sharing information and performing tasks.
D.the computer and the human brain.
60.Scientists use software rather than hardware in their experiments becauseB.   
A.it can avoid redesigning computer chips      
B.it can save a lot of time and money   
C.it can avoid making mistakes             
D.it is more like the human brain.
2.A.Cosmetics were used in different countries a long time ago.
B.The most widely used cosmetic is probably lipstick
C.Cosmetics were made most use of in Indian.
D.At one time,some cosmetics were not safe.
E.Some people even have cosmetic surgery.
F.The Romans also used cosmetics.

Millions of women use cosmetics,often called‘make-up'.The cosmetics industry is one of the biggest in the world.Most large stores sell cosmetics,and there are always shops at airports selling them cheaply.
The word‘cosmetics'refers to anything that people put on their faces to make them look better.Lipstick,face powder and cream,and eye make-up are the most popular.Although more women than men use cosmetics,there are cosmetics for men as well as women.
(61)E In order to make their faces look different.They have the shape of their noses and eyes changed.
(62)B Many women who do not wear any other make-up will often put on a little lipstick.Lipstick is made by mixing together different oils and colors.This mixture is then allowed to get hard and is cut into the shape of a small pencil.When a woman presses the lipstick to her lips,the end of it becomes soft,and some of it sticks to her lips,giving them extra color.
(63)A Cosmetics were probably first used in India,but it was the Egyptians,six thousand years ago,who made the most use of them.Rich Egyptian women painted their eyes green and black.They used a red color to paint pretty designs on their fingernails,the palms of their hands and the soles of their feet.Pictures of Cleopatra always show her wearing a lot of make-up.
(64)F They liked to make their skin very white and to paint their eyes.They also used a kind of lipstick.
In England at one time,very rich women had baths in milk to make their skin beautiful.They also used a lot of sweet-smelling powder to stop people smelling their bodies,which were often very dirty because they did not wash very often or change their clothes.
(65)D They were bad for the skin,and some of the lipsticks and powders that people used were even poisonous.Nowadays,people in the cosmetics industry take great care to make sure that everything they use is completely safe.
19.Computers are very important to modern life.Many people think that in the future computers will be used in lots of everyday life.It is thought that we won't have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet.There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers.The Internet will be used to play games,see films and buy food.Most telephone calls will be made by computers,too.
Some people are glad about those new ways of shopping and communication(交流).Others do not think that computers will replace (代替) our old ways.
Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper.Instead,we will buy and read books using computers,which will keep many different books in them at the same time.

We won't need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved.Computerized (计算机化的) books will be used more and more.
While many people say it is a pleasure to go into shops and look at things you want to buy.It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers,because paper books will perhaps be more friendly.Maybe computers won't change these two habits.

A.People like going shopping.
B.Reading books is important.
C.Computers are important.
D.Computer can be used to play games.

A.There is no paper in the future.
B.People don't like reading books.
C.They are very expensive.

A.We can see films by computers.
B.People all like to go shopping by computers.
C.We can't buy anything using computers.
D.All the people like reading books from computers.
