The most definition is that it is something that we do regularly, almost without thinking about it, and which has some sort of negative consequence. This c

7、onsequence could affect those around us, or it could affect us personally. Those who deny having bad habits are probably lying. Bad habits are part of what makes us human.Many early habits, like sucking out thumb, are broken when we are very young. We are either told to stop doing it by our parents,

8、 or we consciously or subconsciously observe that others do not have the same habit, and we gradually grow out of it. It is when we intentionally or unintentionally pick up new habits in our later childhood or early adulthood that it becomes a problem. Unless we can break that habit early on, it bec

9、omes a part of out life, and becomes “programmed” into our brain.A recent study of human memory suggests that no matter how hard we try to change our habits, it is the old ways that tend to win, especially in situations where we are rushed, stressed or overworked. Habits that we thought we had got r

10、id of can suddenly come back. During the study program, the researchers showed a group of volunteers several pictures, and gave them words to associate with them. They then showed the volunteers the same picture again, and gave them new words to associate with them.A few days later, the volunteers w

11、ere given a test. The researchers showed them the pictures, and told them to respond with one of the words they had been given for each one. It came as no surprise that their answers were split between the first set of words and second. Two weeks later, they were given the same test again. This time

12、, most of them only gave the first set of words. They appeared to have completely forgotten the second set.The study confirms that the responses we learn first are those that remain strongest over time. We may try to change our ways, but after a while, the response that comes to mind first is usuall

13、y the first one we learned. The more that response is used, the more automatic it becomes and the harder it becomes to respond in any other way.The study therefore suggests that over time, our bad habits also become automatic, learned behavior. This is not good news for people who pick up bad habits

14、 early in life and now want to change or break them. Even when we try to put new, good intentions into practice, those previous learned habits remain stronger in more automatic, unconscious forms of memory.16.

During the Middle Ages, traffic-free shopp

18、ing areas were built in Middle Eastern countries to allow people to shop in comfort and, more importantly, safety. As far back as 2,000 years ago, road traffic was banned from central Rome during the day to allow for the free movement of pedestrians (行人) and was only allowed in at night when shops a

19、nd markets had closed for the day. In most other cities, however, pedestrians were forced to share the streets with horses, coaches and, later, with cars and other motorised vehicles.2 The modern, traffic-free shopping street was born in Europe in the 1960s, when both city populations and car owners

20、hip increased rapidly. Dirty gases from cars and the risks involved in crossing the road were beginning to make shopping an unpleasant and dangerous experience. Many believed the time was right for experimenting with car-free streets, and shopping areas seemed the best place to start.3 At first, the

21、re was resistance from shopkeepers. They believed that such a move would be bad for business. They argued that people would avoid streets if they were unable to get to them in their cars. When the first streets in Europe were closed to traffic, there were even noisy demonstrations, as many shopkeepe

22、rs predicted they would lose customers.4 However, research carried out afterwards in several European cities revealed some unexpected statistics. In Munich, Cologne and Hamburg, visitors to shopping areas increased by 50 percent. On Copenhagens main shopping street, shopkeepers reported sales increa

23、ses of 25-40 percent. Shopkeepers in Minneapolis, the USA. were so impressed when they learnt this that they even offered to pay for the construction and maintenance costs of their own traffic-free streets.5 With the arrival of the traffic-free shopping street, many shops, especially those selling t

24、hings like clothes, food and smaller luxury items, prospered. Unfortunately, it wasnt good news for everyone, as shops selling furniture and larger electrical appliances (电器) actually saw their sates drop. Many of these were forced to move elsewhere, away from the city centre.23. Paragraph 1_24. Par

Is there life on Mars? Was there ever life on Mars? Scientists from NASA wanted to know the answers to these ques

28、tions. They built a spacecraft to travel around Mars and get information. The spacecraft was called the Mars Climate Orbiter.The Mars Climate Orbiter left for Mars in December 1998. The trip took nine and a half months. At first, everything was fine. However, when the Orbiter got near Mars, somethin

29、g terrible happened. The spacecraft didnt go to the right place. It went too close to Mars. It was too hot for the Orbiter there. The spacecraft couldnt function correctly. Suddenly, it stopped sending message to NASA. The Orbiter was lost.How could this terrible thing happen? How did the Orbiter ge

30、t closer to Mars than the scientists planned? Finally, they found the answer. Two teams of scientists worked together on the Orbiter. One team was in England, and one team was in the United States. There were many similarities in the way they worked, but there was one important difference: The teams

31、 used different guidelines for measuring things. The United States team used the metric system(公制). The other team used the English system.Because they used different systems, the scientists made a mathematical mistake. The Orbiters orbit (the shape and pattern of its path) around Mars was not corre

32、ct. The scientists put the Orbiter on the wrong path. The Orbiter got too close and too hot, and it stopped functioning.Why didnt anybody see the mistake before it was too late? Many things contributed to the problem. One thing was that NASA scientists and mathematicians were working on two other sp

33、acecrafts at the same time. This was a challenge, and they were very tired from working long hours.The Mars Climate Orbiter cost $94 million to build. It also cost a lot of money to try to find the lost Orbiter in space. In addition, NASAs research on the cause of the problem was very expensive. Thi

34、s wasnt the first time that two different measurement systems caused mistakes in scientific projects. However, the Mars Climate Orbiter was definitely the most expensive mistake of all!31 NASA built the Mars Climate Orbiter to get information about_.A. the size of MarsB. possible life on MarsC. the

35、shape of marsD. the atmosphere of Mars32 How long did it take the Orbiter to get close to Mars?A. One year.B. Less than one year.C. About two and a half years.D.

They didnt get enough research funding.参考答案: 31.B 32.B 33.C 34.D 35.C 第二篇 The Development of BalletBallet is a dance fo

38、rm that has a long history. The fact that it survives to this day shows that it has adjusted as times have changed.Ballet began in the royal courts during the Renaissance. At that time it became common for kings and queens, as well as other nobility, to participate in pageants that included music, p

39、oetry, and dance. As these entertainments moved from the Italian courts to the French ones, court ladies began participating in them. Though their long dresses prevented much movement, they were able to perform elaborate walking patterns. It was not until the 1600s that women dancers shortened their

40、 skirts, changed to flat shoes, and began doing some of the leaps and turns performed by men.It was also in the 1600s that professional ballet began. King Louis XIV of France, himself a devoted dancer, founded the Royal Academy of Dance. The five basic feet positions from which all ballet steps begi

41、n were finalized. In the late 1700s another important change occurred. Ballet began to tell a story on its own. It was no longer simply dance to be performed between acts of plays. Elaborate wigs and costumes were eliminated. By the early 1800s dancers learned to rise on their toes to make it appear

42、 that they were floating.Classical ballet as we know it today was influenced primarily by Russian dancing. The Russians remained interested in ballet when it declined in other European countries in the mid-1800s. One of the most influential figures of the early 20th century was Sergei Diaghilev. His

43、 dance company, the Ballets Russees, brought a new energy and excitement to ballet. One of his chief assistants, George Balanchine, went on to found the New York City Ballet in 1948 and to influence new generations of dancers.36 This passage deals mainly with _.A famous names in balletB Russian ball

46、onIf you look up at the sky in the early fall in the northern part of North America, you may see groups of birds. These birds are flying south to places where they can find food and warmth for the winter. They are migrating(迁徙). The young birds usually learn to migrate from their parents. They follo

47、w their parents south. In one unusual case, however, the young birds are following something very different. These birds are young whooping cranes, and they are following an airplane!The whooping crane is the largest bird that is native to North America. These birds almost disappeared in the 1800s. By 1941, there were only about 20 cranes alive. In the 1
