A
Investigators were testing the effects of
different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of
paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; for the
second, dark brown. Movement of each group was followed by an electrical
system under the carpet. The experiment revealed that those who entered
the dark brown room walked more quickly, covered more area, and spend
less time in the room than the people in the white environment. Dark
brown stimulated more activity, but the activity ended sooner. Another
experiment presented three groups of subjects with the same photographs,
but each group was in a different kind of room—an "ugly" room like a
messy storeroom, an average room, such as a nice office, and a
tastefully designed living room with carpeting and drapes (帘子). Results
showed that the subjects in the beautiful room tended to give higher
ratings to the faces than did those in the ugly room. Other studies
suggest that students do better on tests taken in ugly room. Other
studies suggest that students do better on tests taken in comfortable,
attractive rooms than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.
56. From the two experiments it may be possible to conclude that
__________.
A. students should take an exam in a comfortable and dark brown
room
B. different kinds of colors and rooms will stimulate more
activity
C. beautiful rooms and a white color wil1 cause people to give
higher ratings to the face
D. environment will have effects on the people's movement
57. Compared with the people in the dark brown room,the people in
the white room will _______.
A. spend less time B. become more active
C. stay longer D. influence students' marks
58. Beautiful rooms will eventually ___________.
A. make people cover more area B. encourage people to walk
faster
C. make the subjects more beautiful D. influence students'
marks
59. In line 7, the work "subjects" means ______________.
A. courses to be studied B. topics to be discussed
C. persons to be experimented with D. students to be examined

My father woke me up early one summer
morning when I was fourteen and announced: “Get up. You’re going with me
to cut grass.”
The idea that my father actually thought I was big enough to help him
in his business made me feel proud and excited. From sunup to sundown my
father, my younger brother and I worked in the large yards in a rich
part of Atlanta, Georgia. By the end of the day I was tired out, but I
felt good. I had put in a hard day’s labor and had earned $6.
One day my father found some leaves I’d missed and pulled me aside.
“Clear away these leaves,” he said firmly, “and don’t make me have to do
it again,” The message was clear. Today I value the importance of doing
a job right the first time. It will never fail to impress the person you
are working for.
After two years my father told me and my brother that he felt we were
old enough to do lawns (草坪) on our own. Every Saturday during our last
two years of high school. We set out early in the morning with the same
desire (愿望) and drive we had gained while working under our father.
Taking care of lawns was not exciting or high-paying, but that didn’t
matter. It taught me that any job is a good job and that whatever I was
paid was more than I had before.
A newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live on
a forty-hour-a-week minimum (最低的) pay. “My father never worked just
forty hours a week, and neither have I,” I replied. “If you’re only
working forty hours, you probably don’t want to do any better than
you’re doing.”
In every job I’ve held from doing lawns to washing dishes, I have
learned something that helped me in my next job. If you look hard
enough, you can learn from any job you do.
60.Why did the writer feel proud and excited when asked to cut
grass?
A. He was old enough to help his family.
B. He became important to his father’s business.
C. He was able to take care of large yards.
D. He could earn $6that day.
61.What does message in the third paragraph mean?
A. Leaving leaves behind is not right.
B. Giving no excuse for your mistakes.
C. Doing a good job at the very beginning.
D. Missing things can be found out.
62.When the writer finished high school, he might be __________year
old.
A. 14
B. 16
C. 18
D. 20
63.When of the following is the most important thing that the writer
has learned from his father?
A. Watch clearly while doing a job.
B. Set out early for physical work.
C. Keep learning from any job you hold.
D. Work over 40hours every week.

Every night for a year, Neil Simmons quietly
went out of his house. He wanted to “talk” to an owl (猫头鹰) settling for
the night at the end of his garden .He made owl cries like a real wild
owl and was happy to hear the bird “hooting” back to him.
Last year Fred Cornes moved in next door. He heard and owl hooting and
answered back. For 12 months the neighbors got into the back gardens of
their homes, thinking they were talking with nature. Mr. Simmons kept a
diary of all his talks with his bird friend. They would both be out
again tonight if it weren’t for a chance talk between their wives.
Mr. Simmons said: “My wife Kim was telling Fred’s wife Wendy about my
owl watching and described (描述) how I got the birds to boot back. She
said, ‘That’s funny—that’s just what Fred has been doing.’ Then the
penny dropped. I felt such a fool when I found out. The trouble is that
owl calls aren’t exactly the same and it’s easy to make a mistake.”
Mr. Cornes said: “I’m really flattered (过奖). I didn’t know I sounded
so real. I love nature and I couldn’t resist hooting at the owls. I was
very excited when they hooted back. I’m sorry that I was fooling my
neighbor who was fooling me.”
64.After the talk between the wives, the two men would probably
_________.
A. stop observing owls

___________.‘

C. I heard the noise
D. No money was paid
66.Mr.Simmons felt upset about the whole thing because _________.
A. all his efforts seemed to be meaningless
B. his wife let out his secret by chance
C. garden owls hooted so differently
D. Fred had been doing the same
67.The text suggests that _______.

C. Fred was always good at pleasing owls
D. owl watching is no longer interesting to Fred
D
Cancer is among the top killer diseases in
our society today and scientists have found out that stress(紧张)helps to
bring it on. It is worthwhile to consider, therefore, what are the
causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do anything about them.
Are we under-employed, or overburdened with too many responsibilities?
Do we have a right balance of work and leisure(闲暇) in our lives? Are our
relationships with family, friends or fellow workers all they should be?
All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them
honestly, and to bring our frustrations(失意)into the open. People who
have a good row and then forget it are doing their health more good than
those who bottle up their feelings.
If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let
us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We
can make more leisure and fill it more happily, if we will accept a
different living standard. We can improve our personal relationships by
a different attitude. It is we who allow other people to make ourselves
unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour’s
anger. The teaching in the Bible “Let not the sun go down upon your
wrath(愤怒)” is good advice from the health point of view as well as the
religious.
68. Which of the following statements is true?
A.
Freedom from responsibilities helps relieve(减轻) stress.
B.
Stress is the direct cause of cancer.
C. The
causes of stress are worthy of serious study.
D.
Cancer is the number one killer in our society today.
69. According to the passage, which of the
following types of people is more likely to suffer from stress?
A.
People who have cancer.
B.
People who like to quarrel with others.
C.
People whose living standard is low.
D.
People who have more responsibilities than they can handle.
70. Judging from the context, the word “row” in the paragraph most
probably means ___.
A. a
noisy quarrel.
B. A
very loud noise.
C. A
neat line of things side by side.
D. A
journey in a boat.
71. Which of the following is not mentioned as a way to reduce our
stress?
A.
Changing our jobs.
B.
Changing our attitude about little things that make us unhappy.
C.
Speaking out about our frustrations.
D.
Reading the Bible.
E
Many people are frightened by spiders(蜘蛛).
They are especially afraid of large, hairy ones. The largest and most
frightening of all spiders is the bird-eating spider, which lives in the
hot, thick rain forests of northern South America.
Bird-eating spiders are a type of tarantula (狼蛛). They are very hairy.
Some of these giant spiders can spread eighteen centimeters (seven
inches) with their legs. Tarantulas are not, as most people think,
poisonous(有毒的)spiders. They can bite, and the bite is painful, but it
will not kill a grown-up. The poisonous bite of a black widow(寡妇) spider
is far more dangerous.
Bird-eating spiders often hide in holes and under rocks during the
day, but at night they creep out and hunt for insects. As you might
guess from their name, they also catch birds and eat them.
They have another unusual ability. They can walk up
windowpanes(窗玻璃)because of sticky, silky hairs on their feet that cling
to glass.
72. This spider lives where the climate is ____.
A. wet and hot B. cool and dry
C. hot and dry D. cool and wet
73. Compared with the bite of a black widow spider, the bite of a
tarantula is ____.
A. more dangerous B. less dangerous
C. just as dangerous D. None of the above
74. According to the story, bird-eating spiders _____.
A. can catch birds and eat them B. can walk up windowpanes
C. can give a person a painful bite D. All of the above
75. Implied(暗指) but not stated:
A. The
bird-eating spider is unable to climb well.
B. The
bird-eating spider likes to stay in trees.
C. The
bird-eating spider can be found in many parts of the world.
D. One
can hardly see a bird-eating spider during the day.
