Aggression is a kind of innate （天生的） survival mechanism, an instinct for self-preservation, that allows animals to defend15themselves from threats to their existence. But, on the other hand, human violence shows evidence of being a learned behavior. In the case of human aggression, violence can not be simply reduced to an instinct. The many expressions of human violence are always conditioned by social conventions that give shape to aggressive behavior. In human societies violence has a social function: It is a strategy for creating or destroying forms of social order.

That's true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: "Get up, John ! You'll be late for work again!" The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each16 member of the family has.Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A、Unawareness of energy cycles.B、Familiar monologues.C、 A change in a family member's energy cycle.D、Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.【正确答案】A【答案解析】此题的关键是看懂本段的最后一句（即："Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.同时联系本段的第四句和第五句（即："For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. ）的意思。该句的直接意思是"如果丈夫和妻子能明白能量周期是怎么 回事，以及家庭每个成员有什么样的周期，很多家庭争吵就会停止。也就是说， 家庭争吵的发生是因为丈夫和妻子不了解能量周期是怎么回事，更谈不上了解每 个家庭成员有什么样的能量周期了。因此A项：Unawareness of energy cycles（不 知道能量周期）应是正确答案。第36题【单项选择题】These two alarm clocks are normally set together, but now they have been reset a few hours.A、awayB、aloneC、apartD、aside【正确答案】c【答案解析】but表示前后句子意思是相反的，所以前面说了 set together,后面 提到的就是apart （分开）。第37题【单项选择题】172008.04 The vehicle was traveling at speeds 90 miles per hour.A、in addition toB、in view ofC、in excess ofD、in search of【正确答案】c【答案解析】此题考查短语辨析。那辆车以超过每小时90英里的速度行驶。A. 除之外、例外；B.由看来、有鉴于；C.过分、超出；D.寻找、追 求。第38题【单项选择题】【阅读选择】Late one Sunday afternoon in September 1999, Oseola McCarty, an elderly cleaning lady passed away in the little wooden frame house where she had lived and worked most of her life.
