   根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项是多余选项。

Hospital emergency rooms treat injured fingers all the time．  Without treatment, a bad cut can lead to  permanent damage．But how should a person know when a bleeding cut is serious enough to require medical attention?

Here are some tips from Dr． Martin Brown, chairman of the department of emergency at Inova Alexandria Hospital in Virginia．

1． Laceration （裂口）

The medical term for a cut or tear in the skin is a laceration．71   A long cut on a finger can likely be treated without a visit to a doctor if the wound is not very deep．  However, if you have a short but deep laceration, you will need professional attention．

2． Fingertips cut off

Some injuries, like a fingertip that gets cut off, might even need surgery to repair．72  More often, cutting down the bone is what is done because reattaching a fingertip is often not successful．

3． Bleeding

73    Small cuts usually produce what is known as venous （静脉的） bleeding．  This means the blood flows steadily from the injury． The bleeding will often stop when pressure is put on the wound．  In most cases holding direct pressure with a clean cloth for four to rive minutes would do．But if a cut appears to be pumping blood out with some force, this may be a sign of arterial （动脉的）bleeding． 74

Finally, always keep this in mind: even a cut that does not require medical attention must be kept clean to prevent infection．  Small cuts should be cleaned gently with clean water．   75   Then cover it with a clean, dry bandage．

A．  How a wound bleeds can be a sign of how serious it is．

B． That requires a specialist to either cut down the bone or reattach the fingertip

C．This kind of injury should be treated by a medical professional as soon as possible．

D．The first signs of this disease include difficulty in opening the mouth．

E．Use a washcloth to clean the area if the wound is dirty．

F．With a cut finger, holding the hand above the heart can reduce the loss of blood．

G．The length-is usually not as important as the depth．

Celebrities （名人） have become a powerful influence on some people because of their social position and their economic situation．

First, some people admire and imitate stars because they allow themselves to be influenced by the media． Television, radio, and magazines invade the lives of spectators （观众） with a variety of shows, information, and publications about stars and their lives． For instance, Britney Spears has become the target of paparazzi （狗仔队）． In May, Britney appeared at the front page of the most popular magazines revealing that she married her best friend in Vegas, Nevada．The media also invade stars' lives because reporters know they can get high profits from readers who buy and follow their favorite artists' news．

Second, some audiences imitate their celebrities because they lack confidence．Some people who are shy and lack personality may find that imitating others will cause a good impression． For example, my cousin Jenny, who lacks a social life because of her introverted （内向的） personality, believes that acting and dressing like Jennifer Lopez will make her popular in high school．

Finally, several fans of stars imitate them because of peer pressure． Since my niece-s girl friends formed an Antonio Banderas’ fan club, she had also joined the group． Although she wasn't a huge fan of his, now she collects most of Banderas' possessions． In fact, when I asked Arianna, my niece, why she was part of Banderas' fan club, she replied with a doubtful tone that she did not wish to be rejected by the other teens．

In conclusion, it is true that celebrities play spectacular roles in their performances in Hollywood, which entertains a lot of people all over the world; however, modern celebrities influence audiences to the point where their fans admire and try to imitate their lives．

67. What does the passage mainly tell us?

　　　 A． Why people are influenced by celebrities．

　　　 B． The harmful influence of celebrities．

　　　 C． What kind of people are influenced by celebrities．

　　　 D． How to avoid the infiuence of celebrities．

68． What can we conclude after reading paragraph 2?

　　 A． Media are on the side of the stars．

　　　 B． Stars know how to take advantage of media．

　　 C． Media are on the side of the readers．

　　　 D． Media invade stars' lives for their own good．

69． Jenny acts and dresses like Jennifer Lopez because　　　　　 .

　　　 A． she admires Jennifer Lopez's personality

　　　 B． she wants to become famous too

　　　 C． she wants to change her own personality

　　　 D． she lacks self-confidence

70． Arianna joined the Antonio Banderas fan club to 　　　　　　.

　　　 A． seek encouragement from the star

　　　 B． be accepted by other teens

　　　 C． become a real fan of the star

　　 D． learn more about the star

Two recent studies have found that punishment is not the best way to influence behavior．

One showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards． Researchers at Harvard University in the United States and the Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden did the study．

They had about two hundred college students play a version of the game known as the Prisoner’ s Dilemma． The game is based on the tension between the interests of an individual and a group． The students played in groups of four． Each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain equally．  But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players．Harvard researcher David Rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation． The groups that rewarded it the  most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded it the least． And the more a group punished itself, the lower its earnings．  The study appeared last month in the journal Science．

The other study involved children． It was presented last month in California at a conference on violence and abuse． Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups． More than eight hundred children were aged two to four the first time they were tested． More than seven hundred children were aged five to nine． The two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test．  Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not．

The study says the IQs of the younger children who were not spanked were five points higher than those who were． In the older group, the difference was almost three points． The more they are spanked, the slower their mental development．

63．According to the first study, we mainly infer that            .

       A． the game is called Prisoner’s Dilemma

       B． the less a group punished itself, the lower its earnings

       C． adults are much more cooperative if rewarded

       D．  the game is introduced in the journal Science

64．Which of the following is TRUE according to the second study?

       A．  Children's IQs have much to do with physical punishment．

       B．  The study is about violence and cooperation of children．

       C．  The children tested were divided into groups of four．

       D．  Children's mental development only relies on their IQs．

65．What does the underlined word "spanked" refer to?

       A． Punished．        B． Blamed．            C． Tested．       D． Praised．

66．What might be the best title for the text?

       A． The Best Way to Correct Misbehavior

       B．  Punishment Is the Best Way of Education

       C． Cooperation Is the Most Successful Behavior

       D． Punishment or Reward: Which Works Better on Behavior?

When I was a boy, my father told me that he could do anything he wanted to．Dad said that he wanted to be the first to develop color prints in our city, and so he did．

When I was 16, Dad looked closely at the violin I played and announced that he wanted to make one． He read about violin making, and then became a violinmaker at the age of 43．He bought the tools and materials, opened a small store and set Mom up as the shopkeeper, while he worked at a local company． He retired from the company 17 years later and continued to make violins and other instruments．

Dad often guessed why the Stradivarius violins sound so beautiful． Some experts claimed that it was the unique varnish （油漆） that gave those instruments their beautiful sound． Dad argued that chemists could analyze the varnish—if that were the answer．

One of Dad’s friends asked him once which kind of wood was used to make violins．When Dad explained that the top was made of spruce （云杉） , his friend said that he had an old piece of spruce Dad might be interested in．

He worked for the next 12 months making a violin from the wood that his friend had given him． It proved to be a superior violin and it would become Dad's masterpiece． He was convinced that the secret of the Stradivarius sound was in the wood itself．

Later, the instrument was stolen．Dad's spirit was broken by the robbery, and he stopped making instruments． But he kept the music shop until he was 80 years old, selling guitars and violins．　　　

My father has been gone for 14 years now． The violin has been missing for more than 25 years．Somewhere a musician is playing a late 20th century violin with an excellent tone． The owner today may never understand why this ordinary-looking violin sounds so much like a Stradivarius．

56． The author mentions his father's developing color prints　　　　　 .

　　　 A． to show that his father-s real interest was not in making violins

　　　 B． to prove that his father could do anything he wanted to

　　　 C． to give an example proving that his father was an inventor

57． What did the author’s father think about Stradivarius violins?

　　　 A． The varnish was different from the others,

　　　 B． The way of making them was special．

　　　 C． The wood of the violins was special．

　　 D． They could only be analyzed by chemists．

58． How long did the author’s father live after the violin was stolen?

　　　 A． About 11 years．　　 　　　　　　　　　 B． About 14 years．

　　　 C． About 25 years． 　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D． About 80 years．
