home.The mystery of the homing pigeon is on how itnavigates and how it finds home.We now know that there are two ways that pigeons tell directions.First,they use the sun.Just getting rough directionsfrom the sun is easy.However,getting accurate directions from the sun takes more care.To tell direction accurately from the sun,one needs to knowthe exact time.All plants and animals seem to have built-in clocks.Usually these biological clocks are not quite exact in measuring time.However,they workpretty well,because they are“reset”every day,maybe when the sun gets up.Do pigeons use their biological clocks to help them find direction from the sun We can experiment to find out.We can keep pigeons in a room lightedonly by lamps.And we can time the lighting to make their artificial“days”start at some different time from the real outside day.After a while we haveshifted their clocks.Now we take them far away from home and let them go on a sunny day.Most of them start out as if they know just which way to go,but choose a wrong direction.They have picked a direction that would be correct for the position of the sun and the time ofday according to theirshifted clocks.The above experiment shows that homing pigeons can tell directions by the sun.What happens when the sky is darkly overcast by clouds and noone can see where the sun is The pigeons still find their way home.So it seems that pigeons also have some extra sense of direction from the earth smagnetic field when they cannot see the sun.1.Pigeons have been used as messengers,for they have special ability _B_.A.to send lettersB.to find homeC.to carry food for men D.to lead the way for people2.The secret of the homing pigeons is _B_.A.how they find foodB.how they find homeC.how they take a letterD.how they take care of children3.All plants and animals reset their biological clocks when _A_.A.the sun risesB.the sun setsC.the moon risesD.the moon sets4.The experiment tells us that the pigeons fly _C_ because of the shifted biological clocks.A.in a wrong direction B.in a correct directionC.in all directionsD.in a circle5.Pigeons have _C_ to tell the direction when it is cloudy by using the earths magnetic field.A.sharp eyesB.sensitive hearingC.sense of direction D.brain wavesPassage 2Passage 2The speaker,a teacher from a munity college,addressed a sympathetic audience.Heads nodded in agreement when he said,High school Englishteachers are not doing their jobs.He described the inadequacies of his students,all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level.I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been established.My topic is not standards nor its decline(降低).What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young;he has been teaching for sixteenyears,and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.My point is that the frequent plaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable.It is also human nature to look for thereasons for our dissatisfaction.Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century,it was difficult to find the target of the blame forlanguage deficiencies(缺陷).But since then,English teachers have been under constant attack.-优选.The plainers think they have hit upon an original idea.As their own mand of the language improves,they notice that young people do not have thissame ability.Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years,they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in thisrespect.To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the language of the young always seems inadequate.Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not perceived as a generational phenomenon but rather as something newand peculiar to todays young people,it naturally follows that todays English teachers cannot be doing their jobs.Otherwise,young people would notmit offenses against the language.6.The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that _D_.A.the language of the younger generation is usually inferior to that of the older generationB.the students had a poor mand of English because they didnt work hard enoughC.he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching English for sixteen yearsD.English teachers should be held responsible for the students poor mand of English7.In the authors opinion,the speaker _B_.A.gave a correct judgment of the English level of the studentsB.had exaggerated the language problems of the studentsC.was right in saying that English teachers were not doing their jobsD.could think and speak intelligently8.The authors attitude towards the speakers remarks is _C_.A.neutral B.positive C.critical D.promising9.It can be concluded from the passage that _D_.A.it is justifiable to include English as a school subjectB.the author disagrees with the speaker over the stadard of English at Grade 9 levelC.English language teaching is by no means an easy jobD.Language improvement needs time and effort10.In the passage the author argues that _A_.A.it is unfair to blame the English teachers for the language deficiencies of the studentsB.young people would not mit offences against the language if the teachers did their jobs properlyC.to eliminate language deficiencies one must have sensitive eyes and earsD.to improve the standard of English requires the effort of several generationsPassage 3Passage 3Is there a“success personality”some winning bination of qualities that leads almost inevitably to achievement If so,exactly what is thatsecret success formula,and can anyone cultivate itAt the Gallup Organization we recently focused in depth on success,probing the attitudes and qualities of 1 500 prominent people selected atrandom from Whos Who in America.Our research finds out a number of qualities that occur regularly among top achievers.Here is one of the mostimportant,that is,mon sense.mon sense is the most prevailing quality possessed by our respondents(回答者).Seventy-nine percent award themselves a top score in thiscategory.And 61 percent say that mon sense was very important in contributing to their success.To most,mon sense means the ability to present sound,practical judgments on everyday affairs.To do this,one has to sweep aside extraneousideas and get right to the core of what matters.A Texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way:“The key ability for success is simplifying.Inconducting meetings and dealing with industry,reducing a plex problem to the simplest terms is highly important.”Is mon sense a quality a person is born with,or can you do something to increase it The oil mans answer is that mon sense can definitely bedeveloped.He attributes his to learning how to debate in school.Another way to increase your store of mon sense is to observe it in others,learningfrom their and your own mistakes.-优选.Besides mon sense,there are many other factors that influence success:knowing your field,self-reliance,intelligence,the ability to get thingsdone,leadership,creativity,relationships with others,and of course,luck.But mon sense stands out.If you cultivate these qualities,youll succeed.And you might even find yourself listed inWhos Who someday.11.It can be known from the passage thatWhos Who_C_.A.is a very useful book telling us how to succeedB.is a book providing us with the information about the family life of some famous peopleC.is a book providing us with the names and brief biographies of the top successful peopleD.is a book from which we can find out the names of different peoples in the world12.According to the author,mon sense_B_.A.is something that mon people like bestB.is something that enables one to form correct opinionsC.is a popular quality a person is born withD.is a quality that is possessed by mon people13.The word“extraneous”in Paragraph 4 most probably means_D_.A.rightB.extraordinaryC.clearD.not related14.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor for successBA.Intelligence.B.Modesty.C.Creativity.D.Good luck.15.The passage is mainly concerned with_D_.A.organizational ability and good work habitsB.the way to obtain big profits and achieve fame and successC.knowledge and interest which are primary to successD.what successful people have in monPassage 4Passage 4Baekeland and Hartmann report that the“short sleepers”had been more or less average in their sleep needs until the men were in their teens.But at about age 15 or so,the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school,work,and other activities.These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines.In general,these“short sleeps”appeared ambitious,active,energetic,cheerful,conformist(不动摇)in their opinions,and very sure about theircareer choices.They often held several jobs at once,or workers full-or part-time while going to school.And many of them had a strong urge to appear“normal”or“acceptable”to their friends and associates.When asked to recall their dreams,the“short sleepers”did poorly.More than this,they seemed to prefer not remembering.In similar fashion,their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed,and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble wouldgo away.The sleep patterns of the“short sleepers”were similar to,but less extreme than,sleep patterns shown by many mental patients categorized asmanic(疯人).The“long sleepers”were quite different indeed.Baekeland and Hartmann report that these young men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood.They seemed to enjoy their sleep,protected it,and were quite concerned when they were occasionally deprived of their desired 9 hours of nightly bedrest.They tended to recall their dreams much better than did the“short sleepers.”Many of the“long sleepers”were shy,anxious,introverted(内向),inhibited(压抑),passive,mildly depressed,and unsure of themselves(particularly in social situations).Several openly states that sleep was an escape from their daily problems.16.According to the report,_D_.A.many short sleepers need less sleep by natureB.many short sleepers are obliged to reduce their nightly sleep time because they are busy with their workC.long sleepers sleep a longer period of time during the dayD.many long sleepers preserve their sleeping habit formed during their childhood-优选.17.Many“short sleepers”are likely to hold the view that _C_.A.sleep is a withdrawal from the realityB.sleep
