C.They are ignored in a long period of time. D.They cannot be used successfully to traffic circles. PART FOUR: WRITING Section A Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer. Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense. Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season. Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life. Title: 71 humans and animals choose food Similarities 72 Many humans and animals choose their food by 73 sense. Some people choose food according to 76 but ignore the nutrition of the foo D. Some animals’ diet varies according to 78 . They also use other senses such as smell and 74 . Some few animals depend on only one sense. Many more animals use 79 senses. Humans and most animals have a very 75 diet. Some animals eat only one type of food 77 . Some spend their lives 80 different types of food. Section B Directions: Read the following passage, Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Through all of human history, rats have been a curse and a plague to people. They eat or spoil crops of grain and rice before they can be harvested or while they are in storage. In India, where millions of people go hungry, there are ten times as many rats as people. Rats devour half of the available food. Rats will also attack birds and animals, from flogs and chicks to geese and young calves. They have even destroyed dams and buildings by making holes through or under them. Sometimes they cause fires by chewing on electrical wiring. The most terrible destruction caused by rats, however, has come from the diseases they carry. In the fourteenth century, rats caused the death of one-third of the world's human population by transmitting bubonic plague . This dreadful outbreak also called the Black Plague, ravaged Europe for years. Ironically, it is in fighting diseases that rats have been most useful to humanity. The bodies of rats, though quite different from those of humans, have certain basic structural similarities. So thousands of specially bred rats are used in research laboratories every year to test medicines that can possibly be used to prolong and improve human life. As might be expected, some laboratory rats are even used to test new procedures and methods for eliminating their cousins - the wild rats .

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。

  Believe it or not, optical illusion(错觉) can cut highway crashes(撞毁).

  Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 recent using a simple optical illusion. Bent stripes, called chevrons (人字形) , painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.

  Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D. C. is planning to repeat Japan's success. Starting next year , the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.

  Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal (致命) traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will carry out its tests in areas where speed-related hazards (危险) are the greatest-curves(弯), exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.

  Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars(水平障碍物) painted across roads can initially (最初) cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted hares.

  Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are, but also make a lane(车道) appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.
