It’s an age-
old saying: Men are from Mars; women are from
Venus. Males and
females 65 different
behaviors almost from birth. Researchers say
these behaviors are due
to 66 differences in
brain structure and activity. Studies show men are
better at hitting targets
(靶子)and solving math
problems 67 women are better at memorizing words
and 68 faces.
Why the differences?
A
test of the brain’s electrical activity shows that
women commonly use both sides of their
brain
while men rely more on one. Scientists already
know that the two sides of the brain control
different functions —one controlling the sense
of space, 69 , the other controlling language.
Some researchers believe that the different
ways men and women use their brains 70 from
ancient times, when cave men hunted and women
71 the children. Men had to have good aim.
Women had to talk to the kids.
Whatever
the 72 , the battle of the sexes continues. And
although their brains are
constructed slightly
differently, men and women may be equally capable.
They may
simply 73 different abilities. Take
a couple arguing over the location of their car in
a parking lot.
The man might use his sense of
74 to find it, while the woman relies on her
memory of
landmarks. Both of them find the
car. But chances are, they’ll still argue about
who’s the better
driver and who’s better at
finding the way home.

skyscrapers and left 5,000 people dead or missing.
disasters, terrorism(恐怖主义) and danger, The
Empire State Building, the White House, New
York City and even the American president
himself have all been threatened by terrorist
attacks in
these exciting films.
The
film“True Lies”, released(发行) in 1994 is
considered to be a good example of this kind
of movie. The special effects, including
explosions and missiles, make the action look like
a real
thing.
“Independence Day”in 1996
took this type of movie one step further by
blowing up the
White House. This science
fiction movie is about a war between human beings
and aliens(外来人)
from another planet. In the
movie, the World Trade Center towers are
destroyed.
Violence has become a major part
of Hollywood movies. And this is what people
enjoy. Soon
after the attacks, many famous
film companies stopped the planned releases of
some of their new
movies, especially if their
films showed terrorist attacks or plane crashes.
“Swordfish” was top of
the American box office
in June, . But the movie’s story was frighteningly
similar to the Sept.11
disaster. The film
would have been stopped in American and British
cinemas after the attack.
But it’s unlikely
that Hollywood will stay quiet for long. It is
already waiting for the feeling
in America to
calm down.
75. What is the main subject of the
newspaper article?
A.The relationship between the
Sept.11 attack and Hollywood films.
B.The
effect of the Sept.11 attack on Hollywood films
C.The response Hollywood made to the Sept.11
attack.
D.The result of Hollywood films
showing violence and disasters.
A.Hollywood
made a lot of money out of the film “Swordfish” in
June.
C.“Swordfish” was not allowed to be
shown after the Sept.11 attack.
D.The World
Trade Center was destroyed because no superman
came to save it.
A.Hollywood is a filmmaking
center making films of violence and disasters
B.too many Hollywood films showing terrorism
and disasters resulted in the Sept.11 attack
D. keep up
D. distance
76. Which of
the following is true?
B.Hollywood stopped
making films showing terrorism and disasters after
the Sept.11 attack.
77. From this article we
know that .
C.people who were used to the Hollywood films
were not shocked at the Sept.11 attack.
D.in
fact, the Sept.11 attack had nothing to do with
Hollywood films
B
Last week, I bought an
alarm system(报警系统) for about $$ 450. It consisted
of a control
unit with three other small
units. I put the control unit in the sitting room
and fastened the other
units by the front
door, back door and living-room windows. The
instructions told us to choose
three numbers,
so we chose 491, the last three numbers of our
telephone number.
Now I must explain how the
alarm works:
1. There is a power siren(警报器) in
the control unit. It makes a very loud noise.
2. Each of the small units sends out beams(光束)
or rays in different directions. If anything
moves, it breaks a beam. This sends a signal
to the control unit. The siren makes a noise that
you
can hear 50 meters away.
3. When we go
to bed, I press the three buttons numbered 4, 9
and 1. Then we have 30
seconds to get out of
the room before the alarm starts to work.
That
might I slept soundly because I was sure that no
burglar(夜贼) could get into our house.
However,
at about 2:10a.m., I woke up and heard the
siren(警报).
“There must be a burglar in the
house,” Mary said. “What shall we do?”
“I’ll
go and see who’s there,” I said. “Stay here. Don’t
make a noise.”
I went downstairs quietly. When
I reached the living room, I switched on my torch
and
looked round the room. Then I turned the
light on. I switched the siren off and searched
the rooms
downstairs. There was nothing wrong
except that the back door was unlocked. I locked
it, re-set
the alarm and went back to bed.
About an hour later, the alarm started again.
I jumped out of bed, fell over a chair in the dark
and bumped into the bedroom door. Mary woke up
and started hitting me with a torch. “Hey! Wait
a minute!” I whispered. “It’s only me. I’ m
going downstairs to see what’s wrong.”
I went
down into the living room and listened for a
moment. The only sound I could hear was
the
siren. I turned on the light and then switched the
siren off. As I did so, I glanced across at the
curtains in front of the windows. I saw a
house lizard (蜥蜴) disappear behind the curtains.
“Oh!” I said to myself. “That’s our burglar.”
When the lizard moved, it started the siren. I
guessed that the alarm had been made in Europe,
where there are no house lizards.
Well, I
won’t finish this story but if you want an alarm
system free of charge, let me know.
I’ll send
you ours. We bought a dog this morning. It knows
the difference between a lizard and a
burglar.
78. The writer bought an alarm system to
.
A.make sure that he got
up early every day
B.warn him when there were
lizards in his house
C.frighten burglars and
tell him that somebody had got into the house
D.make Mary feel safe to live in the large
room
79. The purpose of the three units was to
.
A.send a message to the control
unit and start the siren
B.sound their own
sirens when the control unit told them to
C.check that the control unit worked properly
all the time
D.give them enough light
A.nothing would happen
C.the siren would
make a noise
B.the control unit would not work
D.the dog would bark
80. If the writer set
the alarm and remained in the room for more than
half a minute, .
81. The purpose of
the writer in writing the passage is to
.
A.tell us that the alarm system doesn’t work
B.tell us an interesting experience
C.show
us how the alarm system works
D.make it clear
that he wants to give away his alarm system
C
The gray-haired lady can’t wait to leave the
building to search for her dad. Unless watched,
she will walk in the streets in an effort to
find her father, who died 30 years ago.
Not
all cases of Alzheimer’s disease look like this,
but Alzheimer’s is a serious disease that is
said to be the fourth or fifth leading cause
of death for people over age 75.
It is said
that about three percent of the U.S. population
over age 65 have Alzheimer’s. In the
early
stages, people may exhibit short term memory loss.
Some may experience changes in
personality,
easy to be angry. As the disease progresses,
patients might lose the ability to move and
may be unable to speak or move at all. This
progressive disease generally lasts 8 to 10 years
before death occurs.
While no one is
certain what causes these changes in the brain’s
nerve fibers (神经纤维),
their effect is certain.
Alzheimer’s destroys not only the patients, but
also spouses (配偶), friends
and families.
What should you do if you notice progressive
memory loss in yourself or a loved one? Have
the person examined by a doctor who is a
specialist in the treatment of Alzheimer’s
disease.
Though many reasons other than
Alzheimer’s disease may cause memory loss, its
early diagnosis
(诊断) and treatment may delay
some of the most serious effects.
What feeling
will you likely experience should a loved one
suffer from Alzheimer’s disease?
A person will
often go through the various stages of sadness,
shock, anger, and so on. If the spouse
develops the disease, you may experience hurt
and disappointment when he or she doesn’t
remember you are married.
Life for the
Alzheimer’s patients and their loved ones will
never be the same as the disease
progresses,
bringing a deep sorrow, loss and even anger
towards God. No matter what feelings are
present, facing them honestly will serve one
better than burying them.
82. What can be
inferred from the passage about the gray-haired
lady?
A. She has been living with her father.
B. She was sad about the death of her father.
C. She can’t search for her father without
being watched.
D. She suffers from
Alzheimer’s disease.
83. When people suffer
from Alzheimer’s disease, ________ .
A. their
families and friends will suffer from the same
disease
B. their families and friends will
experience mental sufferings
C. they will
certainly die in 8 to 10 years
D. they will
forget everybody but their spouses
84. Memory
loss occurs ________.
A. from Alzheimer’s
disease and nothing else
B. from sadness,
shock, anger, and so on
C. for a number of
reasons
D. with changes in personality
85.
From the passage we know that ______ .
A.
early treatment may stop Alzheimer’s disease
occurring
B. it is still unknown what causes
the changes in the brain’s nerve fibers
C.
nerve fibers in the brain will cause Alzheimer’s
disease
D. when one suffers from Alzheimer’s
disease, he will be buried
D
I made a
pledge(誓言) to myself on the way down to the
vacation beach cottage. For two
weeks I would
try to be a loving husband and father. Totally
loving. No ifs, ands or buts.
The idea had
come to me as I listened to a talk on my car
radio. The speaker was quoting a
Biblical(圣经的)passage about husbands being
thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say,
selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that
would change.
And it did. Right from the
moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said,
sweater(套头衫) looks great on you.
After
the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn
suggested a walk on the beach. I started
to
refuse, but then I thought,
to be alone with
me.
So it went. Two weeks of not calling the
Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to
the
shell museum though I usually hate
museums. Relaxed and happy, that's how the whole
vacation
passed. I made a new pledge to keep
on remembering to choose love.
There was one
thing that went wrong with my experiment, however.
Evelyn and I still
laugh about it today. On
the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed,
Evelyn stared at me with
the saddest
expression.
悲痛),
checkup(体检) I had
several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you
something about me?Tom, you've been so good to
me…am I dying?
It took a
moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out
laughing.
86. From the story we may infer
that Tom drove to the beach cottage ________.
A. with his family B. with Evelyn C. alone
D. with his children
87. During the two weeks
on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife
because _________.
A. she looked lovely in her

to be a good husband
D. she was seriously ill

A. He praised her sweater, which
puzzled her.
B. She insisted on visiting a
museum, which he hated.
C. He knew something
about her illness but didn't tell her.
D. He
was so good to her that she thought she must be
dying.
89. By saying
A. he is just
beginning to understand the real meaning of life
B. he is just beginning to enjoy life as a
loving husband
C. he lived an unhappy life
before and is now starting to change
D. he is

wife before

It’s an age-
old saying: Men are from Mars; women are from
Venus. Males and
females 65 different
behaviors almost from birth. Researchers say
these behaviors are due
to 66 differences in
brain structure and activity. Studies show men are
better at hitting targets
(靶子)and solving math
problems 67 women are better at memorizing words
and 68 faces.
Why the differences?
A
test of the brain’s electrical activity shows that
women commonly use both sides of their
brain
while men rely more on one. Scientists already
know that the two sides of the brain control
different functions —one controlling the sense
of space, 69 , the other controlling language.
Some researchers believe that the different
ways men and women use their brains 70 from
ancient times, when cave men hunted and women
71 the children. Men had to have good aim.
Women had to talk to the kids.
Whatever
the 72 , the battle of the sexes continues. And
although their brains are
constructed slightly
differently, men and women may be equally capable.
They may
simply 73 different abilities. Take
a couple arguing over the location of their car in
a parking lot.
The man might use his sense of
74 to find it, while the woman relies on her
memory of
landmarks. Both of them find the
car. But chances are, they’ll still argue about
who’s the better
driver and who’s better at
finding the way home.

disasters, terrorism(恐怖主义) and danger, The
Empire State Building, the White House, New
York City and even the American president
himself have all been threatened by terrorist
attacks in
these exciting films.
The
film“True Lies”, released(发行) in 1994 is
considered to be a good example of this kind
of movie. The special effects, including
explosions and missiles, make the action look like
a real
thing.
“Independence Day”in 1996
took this type of movie one step further by
blowing up the
White House. This science
fiction movie is about a war between human beings
and aliens(外来人)
from another planet. In the
movie, the World Trade Center towers are
destroyed.
Violence has become a major part
of Hollywood movies. And this is what people
enjoy. Soon
after the attacks, many famous
film companies stopped the planned releases of
some of their new
movies, especially if their
films showed terrorist attacks or plane crashes.
“Swordfish” was top of
the American box office
in June, . But the movie’s story was frighteningly
similar to the Sept.11
disaster. The film
would have been stopped in American and British
cinemas after the attack.
But it’s unlikely
that Hollywood will stay quiet for long. It is
already waiting for the feeling
in America to
calm down.
75. What is the main subject of the
newspaper article?
A.The relationship between the
Sept.11 attack and Hollywood films.
B.The
effect of the Sept.11 attack on Hollywood films
C.The response Hollywood made to the Sept.11
attack.
D.The result of Hollywood films
showing violence and disasters.
A.Hollywood
made a lot of money out of the film “Swordfish” in
June.
C.“Swordfish” was not allowed to be
shown after the Sept.11 attack.
D.The World
Trade Center was destroyed because no superman
came to save it.
A.Hollywood is a filmmaking
center making films of violence and disasters
B.too many Hollywood films showing terrorism
and disasters resulted in the Sept.11 attack
D. keep up
D. distance
76. Which of
the following is true?
B.Hollywood stopped
making films showing terrorism and disasters after
the Sept.11 attack.
77. From this article we
know that .
C.people who were used to the Hollywood films
were not shocked at the Sept.11 attack.
D.in
fact, the Sept.11 attack had nothing to do with
Hollywood films
B
Last week, I bought an
alarm system(报警系统) for about $$ 450. It consisted
of a control
unit with three other small
units. I put the control unit in the sitting room
and fastened the other
units by the front
door, back door and living-room windows. The
instructions told us to choose
three numbers,
so we chose 491, the last three numbers of our
telephone number.
Now I must explain how the
alarm works:
1. There is a power siren(警报器) in
the control unit. It makes a very loud noise.
2. Each of the small units sends out beams(光束)
or rays in different directions. If anything
moves, it breaks a beam. This sends a signal
to the control unit. The siren makes a noise that
you
can hear 50 meters away.
3. When we go
to bed, I press the three buttons numbered 4, 9
and 1. Then we have 30
seconds to get out of
the room before the alarm starts to work.
That
might I slept soundly because I was sure that no
burglar(夜贼) could get into our house.
However,
at about 2:10a.m., I woke up and heard the
siren(警报).
“There must be a burglar in the
house,” Mary said. “What shall we do?”
“I’ll
go and see who’s there,” I said. “Stay here. Don’t
make a noise.”
I went downstairs quietly. When
I reached the living room, I switched on my torch
and
looked round the room. Then I turned the
light on. I switched the siren off and searched
the rooms
downstairs. There was nothing wrong
except that the back door was unlocked. I locked
it, re-set
the alarm and went back to bed.
About an hour later, the alarm started again.
I jumped out of bed, fell over a chair in the dark
and bumped into the bedroom door. Mary woke up
and started hitting me with a torch. “Hey! Wait
a minute!” I whispered. “It’s only me. I’ m
going downstairs to see what’s wrong.”
I went
down into the living room and listened for a
moment. The only sound I could hear was
the
siren. I turned on the light and then switched the
siren off. As I did so, I glanced across at the
curtains in front of the windows. I saw a
house lizard (蜥蜴) disappear behind the curtains.
“Oh!” I said to myself. “That’s our burglar.”
When the lizard moved, it started the siren. I
guessed that the alarm had been made in Europe,
where there are no house lizards.
Well, I
won’t finish this story but if you want an alarm
system free of charge, let me know.
I’ll send
you ours. We bought a dog this morning. It knows
the difference between a lizard and a
burglar.
78. The writer bought an alarm system to
.
A.make sure that he got
up early every day
B.warn him when there were
lizards in his house
C.frighten burglars and
tell him that somebody had got into the house
D.make Mary feel safe to live in the large
room
79. The purpose of the three units was to
.
A.send a message to the control
unit and start the siren
B.sound their own
sirens when the control unit told them to
C.check that the control unit worked properly
all the time
D.give them enough light
A.nothing would happen
C.the siren would
make a noise
B.the control unit would not work
D.the dog would bark
80. If the writer set
the alarm and remained in the room for more than
half a minute, .
81. The purpose of
the writer in writing the passage is to
.
A.tell us that the alarm system doesn’t work
B.tell us an interesting experience
C.show
us how the alarm system works
D.make it clear
that he wants to give away his alarm system

The gray-haired lady can’t wait to leave the
building to search for her dad. Unless watched,
she will walk in the streets in an effort to
find her father, who died 30 years ago.
Not
all cases of Alzheimer’s disease look like this,
but Alzheimer’s is a serious disease that is
said to be the fourth or fifth leading cause
of death for people over age 75.
It is said
that about three percent of the U.S. population
over age 65 have Alzheimer’s. In the
early
stages, people may exhibit short term memory loss.
Some may experience changes in
personality,
easy to be angry. As the disease progresses,
patients might lose the ability to move and
may be unable to speak or move at all. This
progressive disease generally lasts 8 to 10 years
before death occurs.
While no one is
certain what causes these changes in the brain’s
nerve fibers (神经纤维),
their effect is certain.
Alzheimer’s destroys not only the patients, but
also spouses (配偶), friends
and families.
What should you do if you notice progressive
memory loss in yourself or a loved one? Have
the person examined by a doctor who is a
specialist in the treatment of Alzheimer’s
disease.
Though many reasons other than
Alzheimer’s disease may cause memory loss, its
early diagnosis
(诊断) and treatment may delay
some of the most serious effects.
What feeling
will you likely experience should a loved one
suffer from Alzheimer’s disease?
A person will
often go through the various stages of sadness,
shock, anger, and so on. If the spouse
develops the disease, you may experience hurt
and disappointment when he or she doesn’t
remember you are married.
Life for the
Alzheimer’s patients and their loved ones will
never be the same as the disease
progresses,
bringing a deep sorrow, loss and even anger
towards God. No matter what feelings are
present, facing them honestly will serve one
better than burying them.
82. What can be
inferred from the passage about the gray-haired
lady?
A. She has been living with her father.
B. She was sad about the death of her father.
C. She can’t search for her father without
being watched.
D. She suffers from
Alzheimer’s disease.
83. When people suffer
from Alzheimer’s disease, ________ .
A. their
families and friends will suffer from the same
disease
B. their families and friends will
experience mental sufferings
C. they will
certainly die in 8 to 10 years
D. they will
forget everybody but their spouses
84. Memory
loss occurs ________.
A. from Alzheimer’s
disease and nothing else
B. from sadness,
shock, anger, and so on
C. for a number of
reasons
D. with changes in personality
85.
From the passage we know that ______ .
A.
early treatment may stop Alzheimer’s disease
occurring
B. it is still unknown what causes
the changes in the brain’s nerve fibers
C.
nerve fibers in the brain will cause Alzheimer’s
disease
D. when one suffers from Alzheimer’s
disease, he will be buried
D
I made a
pledge(誓言) to myself on the way down to the
vacation beach cottage. For two
weeks I would
try to be a loving husband and father. Totally
loving. No ifs, ands or buts.
The idea had
come to me as I listened to a talk on my car
radio. The speaker was quoting a
Biblical(圣经的)passage about husbands being
thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say,
selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that
would change.
And it did. Right from the
moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said,
sweater(套头衫) looks great on you.
After
the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn
suggested a walk on the beach. I started
to
refuse, but then I thought,
to be alone with
me.
So it went. Two weeks of not calling the
Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to
the
shell museum though I usually hate
museums. Relaxed and happy, that's how the whole
vacation
passed. I made a new pledge to keep
on remembering to choose love.
There was one
thing that went wrong with my experiment, however.
Evelyn and I still
laugh about it today. On
the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed,
Evelyn stared at me with
the saddest
expression.
悲痛),
checkup(体检) I had
several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you
something about me?Tom, you've been so good to
me…am I dying?
It took a
moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out
laughing.
86. From the story we may infer
that Tom drove to the beach cottage ________.
A. with his family B. with Evelyn C. alone
D. with his children
87. During the two weeks
on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife
because _________.
A. she looked lovely in her
new clothes
B. he had made a lot of money
in his Wall Street firm
C. he was determined
to be a good husband
D. she was seriously ill
88. The author says,
one thing that went
wrong?
A. He praised her sweater, which
puzzled her.
B. She insisted on visiting a
museum, which he hated.
C. He knew something
about her illness but didn't tell her.
D. He
was so good to her that she thought she must be
dying.
89. By saying
A. he is just
beginning to understand the real meaning of life
B. he is just beginning to enjoy life as a
loving husband
C. he lived an unhappy life
before and is now starting to change
D. he is
beginning to feel regret for what he did to his
wife before
