Earthquakes and Animals
Scientists who try to predict earthquakes have gotten some new helpers recently — animals. Animals often seem to know in advance that an earthquake is coming, and they show their fear by acting in strange ways. Before a quake（地震）in China in 1975 snakes awoke from their winter sleep early only to freeze to death in the cold air. All the unusual behavior, as well as physical changes in earth, alerted （提醒）Chinese scientists to the coming quake. They moved people away from the danger zone and saved thousands of lives.
One task for scientists today is to learn exactly which types of animal behavior predict quakes. It is not an easy job. First of all not every animal reacts to the danger of an earthquake. Just before a California quake in 1979, fore example, an Arabian horse became very nervous and tried to break out of his stall. The horse next to him, however, remained perfectly calm. It is also difficult sometimes to tell the difference between normal animal calmness and “earthquake nerves.” A zookeeper once told earthquake researchers that his cougar（美洲狮）had been acting strangely. It turned out that the cougar had a stomachache.
A second task for scientists is to find out exactly what kinds of warning the animals receive. They know that animals sense far more of the world than humans do. Many animals can see, hear, and smell things that people do not even notice. Some can detect tiny changes in air pressure, gravity, or the magnetism（磁力）of earth. This extra sense probably helps animals predict earthquakes.
A good example of this occurred with a group of dogs. They were closed in an area that was being shaken by a series of tiny earthquakes. Before each quake a low booming sound was heard. Each sound caused the dogs to bark（吠）wildly. The dogs began to bark during a silent period! A scientist who was recording the quakes looked at his machine. He realized that the dogs had reacted to a booming noise. They also sensed the tiny quake that followed it. The machine recorded both, though humans felt and heard nothing.
In this case there was a machine to check what the dogs were sensing. Many times, however, our machines record nothing out of the ordinary, even though animals know a quake is coming. The animals might be sensing something we do measure but do not recognize as a warning. Discovering what animals sense, and learning how they know danger signals, is a job for future scientists.
16. During an earthquake in China in 1975, some cows had "earthquake nerves" and some remained calm.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
17. Chinese scientists moved people away from the coming quake zone after noticing the strange behavior of some animals and physical changes in earth.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
18. Animals of the same kind always react in the same way to the danger of a quake.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
19. The cougar behaved strangely because it had sensed the threat of a quake.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
20. All animals can sense the very small changes in air pressure, gravity, or the magnetism of earth.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
21. The dogs mentioned in the passage sensed both the low booming sounds and the minor quakes following them.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
22. A task for future scientists is to find out how an animal receives a warning signal.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

The Rights of Animals
1. Do animals have rights? This is how the question is usually put. It sounds like a useful, ground-clearing way to start. Actually, it isn't, because it assumes that there is an agreed account of human rights, which is something the world does not have.
2. On one view of rights, to be sure, it necessarily follows that animals have none. Some philosophers argue that rights exist only within a social contract, as part of an exchange of duties and entitlements. Therefore animals cannot have rights. The idea of punishing a tiger that kills somebody is absurd; for exactly the same reason, so is the idea that tigers have rights. However, this is only on account, and by no means an uncontested one. It denies rights not only to animals but also to some people — for instance, to infants, the mentally incapable and future generations. In addition, it is unclear what force a contract can have for people who never consented it: how do you reply to somebody who says "I don't like this contract"?
3. The point is this: without agreement on the rights of people arguing about the rights of animals is fruitless. It leads the discussion to extremes at the outset: it invites you to think that animals should be treated either with the consideration humans extend to other humans, or with no consideration at all. This is a false choice. Better to start with another, more fundamental, question: is the way we treat animals a moral issue at all?
4. Many deny it. Arguing from the view that humans are different from animals in every relevant respect, extremists of this kind think that animals lie outside the area of moral choice. Any regard for the suffering of animals is seen as a mistake — a sentimental displacement of feeling that should properly be directed to other humans.
5. This view which holds that torturing a monkey is morally equivalent to chopping wood, may seem bravely "logical". In fact it is simply shallow: the confused centre is right to reject it. The most elementary form of moral reasoning — the ethical equivalent of learning to crawl — is to weigh others' interests against one's own. This in turn requires sympathy and imagination: without which there is no capacity for moral thought. To see an animal in pain is enough, for most, to engage sympathy. When that happens, it is not a mistake: it is mankind's instinct for moral reasoning in action, an instinct that should be encouraged rather than laughed at.
23. Paragraph 1 ________
24. Paragraph 2 ________
25. Paragraph 3 ________
26. Paragraph 4 ________
A. Arguing about the Rights of Animal Is Foolish
B. Sympathy to the Animals Should Be Encourage
C. The Human's View Is Fruitful
D. Rights Exist only Within a Social Contract
E. If Animals Have Rights?
F. The Most Elementary Form of Moral Reasoning
27. The most elementary form of moral reasoning ________.
28. Mankind's instinct for moral reasoning in action ________.
29. It is unclear what force a contract ________.
30. It leads the discussion ________.
A. should be encouraged rather than laughed at
B. a sentimental displacement of feeling
C. can have for people who never consented it
D. is to weigh other's interest against one's own
E. it invites you to think that animals should be treated with no consideration
F. human are different from animals in every respect

第一篇
Husband and Wife by Arrangement
Some Japanese still get married by parents' arrangement. Yoshio and Hiromi Tanaka, a young Japanese couple living in the United States, told the story of their arranged marriage. "We didn't marry for love in the Western sense. We got married in the traditional Japanese way. Our parents arranged our marriage through a matchmaker（媒人）. In Japan we believe that marriage is something affecting the whole family rather than a matter concerning only the young couple. So we think it is very important to match people according to their social background, education and so on. When our parents thought it was time for us to get married, they went to a local matchmaker and asked her for some suggestions. We discussed the details and looked at the photos she sent, and then our parents asked her to arrange a 'marriage interview' for the two of us."
A Japanese marriage interview is held in a public place, such as a hotel or a restaurant, and is attended by the boy and the girl, their parents and the matchmaker. Information about the couple and their families is exchanged over a cup of tea or a meal. Then the boy and the girl are left alone for a short time to get to know each other. When they return home they have to tell the matchmaker whether they want to meet again or not.
Yoshio continued, "When our parents realized we were serious about each other, they started to make arrangements for our wedding. My family paid the marriage money to Hiromi's. This is money to help pay for the wedding ceremony and for setting up the house afterwards. We also gave her family a beautiful ornament（装饰品）to put in the best room of their house, so everyone knew that Hiromi was going to marry."
31. The Japanese think of the marriage of a young couple as ________
A. a sign showing the love between them.
B. an opportunity for their parents to show their love for their children.
C. a private affair for the boy and the girl.
D. an important matter having influence on the whole family.
32. In arranging a marriage in Japan, the matchmaker plays all the following roles EXCEPT ________
A. making arrangements for the wedding.
B. providing the information the families need.
C. arranging the "marriage interview".
D. attending the "marriage interview".
33. According to the passage, the best time to make arrangement for the wedding is ________
A. when the young couple agree to meet again.
B. when the young couple are sincere about their relation.
C. when the parents think it is time for their children go get married.
D. when the parents are well-informed about each other's family.
34. In the traditional Japanese way of marriage, the marriage money given by the boy's family is used for ________
A. the matchmaker's pay.
B. the "marriage interview".
C. the wedding ceremony and the new house.

What Is Shyness
People often talk as if shyness is a disease or mental condition that can be cured. I prefer to think of it as an emotional disability. It's something we are born with and something we carry with us in our entire lives. There are too many people, however, who seem to be determined to find some way of doing away with their shyness. In my opinion, It's a waste of time. I don't mean that we should do nothing about it; quite the contrary, I think we need to separate the basic fact of our shyness from our ability to function in a social environment.
Look at one of the most famous shy people of them all, Johnny Carson. This man is painfully shy, yet for decades he made a living talking and associating with different people every night, in front of a national audience. Carson has never done away with his shyness, but he had successfully found a way to deal with it to that extent that he could be, not just a talk show host, but a legend among talk show hosts. Look also at Sally Fields, who has recently admitted her problem with shyness. This is a woman who has appeared in many films, TV shows, interviews yet in her early years she was so shy that she turned down a lunch invitation from Jane Fonda because she was terribly afraid of meeting her.
I guess that our shyness is there because each of us is born with some insecurity and this insecurity prevents us from reaching out to others the way people with a more open personality（个性）do. As we grow up and become adults, we have allowed our social skills to grow and develop. But we are still stuck in kindergarten（幼儿园）or elementary school or wherever it was that our shyness first took root in our psyches（心灵）.
36. In the author's view, shyness can be defined as ________
A. a disease that can be easily cured.
B. a not very normal mental condition.
C. an emotional disability.
D. something we pick up after birth.
37. In the eyes of the author, it's a waste of time to ________
A. look for ways of doing away with one's shyness.
B. develop a healthy personality.
C. talk with as many people as possible.
D. study where shyness comes from.
38. Which of the following is true of Johnny Carson? ________
A. He dared to speak in front of a national audience.
B. He has done away with his shyness successfully.
C. He failed to become a good talk show host.
D. He was described as a hero in some legend books.
39. The passage tells us that Sally Fields was ________
A. proud all the time.
B. impolite when young.
C. shy in her early years.
D. close to Jane Fonda.
40. The author thinks that our shyness is there because ________
A. we are not open enough.
B. we do not feel secure at heart.
C. we try to reach out to others all the time.
D. we lack certain social skills.

Ocean Noise Pollution
Some scientists say that animals in the ocean are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings.
The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.
Decibels（分贝）measured in water are different from those measured on land which cause pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of 195 would have the same effect as 120 decibels on land.
Some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit of 120 decibels in oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales（鲸鱼）.
A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals. The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales' ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed（出血）and become infected（感染）.
Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of 120 decibels. They say such a limit is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.
41. According to the passage, which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea creatures? ________
A. The sound of a car.
B. The sound of voices.
C. Man-made noise pollution.
D. The sound of steps.
42. According to the passage, natural sounds include all of the following EXCEPT ________
A. sounds made by animals themselves.
B. ocean drilling.
C. underwater earthquakes.
D. the breaking of ice fields.
43. Which of the following is discussed in the third paragraph? ________
A. The same noise level produces a difference.
B. Different places may have different types of noises.
C. The decibel is not a suitable unit for measuring underwater noise.
D. Different ocean animals may have different reactions to noises.
44. Which of the following is true of whales? ________
A. They won't be confused by noises.
B. They are deaf to noises.
C. Their ability to reproduce will be lowered by high-level noises.
D. Their hearing will be damaged by high-level noises.
45. According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future? ________
A. They will work hard to reduce ocean noise pollution.
B. They will protect animals from harmful noises.
C. They will try to set a limit of 120 decibels.
D. They will study the effect of ocean noise pollution.

How to Pass Exams
Do not underestimate（低估）the power of revision in the days and hours before an examination. The closer you are to the exam, the more chance you have of storing and retaining crucial information. But do not overdo it. 46 . An effective daily routine can help you through an exam period, so in the days leading up to your first exam, get into the habit of being up and ready to work by game. It can be a shock to the system after months of working to your own timetable to be mentally alert at that time if you have not prepared for it.
On the day of the exam, have a good breakfast, pack two of everything you need (pens, pencils, erasers, etc), then make your way to the examination hall in good time. 47 .
Once in your seat, simply pause for a few seconds and collect your thoughts. Close your eyes and take in a few slow, deep breaths to help you relax. When you turn over the test paper, spend a short period reading through all the instructions and questions, paying particular attention to key verbs such as "discuss", "compare" and "evaluate". 48 . It is always wise to allow 10 minutes at the end of the exam to give yourself time to go back over your answers. Once you have selected the questions you wish to tackle, begin by attempting the one you think is your strongest. It will give you more confidence when you see a well-answered question down on paper. Also remember to write clearly, and do not be afraid to express the unexpected after all, examiners can get very bored marking stereotypical（千篇一律的）answers.
49 . If you do need something else to focus on to help you collect your thoughts, choose a fixture（固定设施）in the room, such as the ceiling or anything else that will not allow you to be distracted.
Finally, once you have finished, never hang around outside afterwards to attend the discussion by other students. 50 .
A. Do not arrive too early, though, as other people's anxiety can be contagious（传染性的）, and you may suffer from undue panic
B. Try not to be tempted to look at those around you, or at the clock
C. When you get home, read the examination paper through and look up all the words you didn't understand
D. Sleep, exercise and relaxation are all just as important
E. Map out a quick plan of points you wish to make and how much time you should spend on each question
F. Go and have a well-earned rest and then prepare for your next exam

Customs of the World
If you travel around the world, you will be surprised to find just how different the foreign customs can be 51 your own.
A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there 52 it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be 53 for washing yourself. Also in India, you might 54 a man apparently shaking his head at another and assume that he is disagreeing. But in many 55 of India a shake of the head is a gesture that shows agreement or acceptance. Nodding your head when you are offered a 56 in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty. In that country you shake your head to indicate "yes" — a nod indicates "no". The Arabs are 57 for their hospitality（好客）. At a meal in the Arabic countries, you will find that any drinking vessel（器皿）is filled again 58 again as soon as you drain it. The way to 59 that you have had enough is to take the cup or glass in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.
In Europe it is quite usual to 60 . Your legs when sitting talking to someone, even at an important meeting. Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand, however, could 61 him or her unhappy. It is considered too informal an attitude 62 such an occasion. Also when in Thailand you are 63 supposed to touch the head of an adult — it's just not done. In Japan, it is quite usual for 64 to plan evening entertainment for themselves and leave their wives at home. In Europe such attitudes are disappearing.
