Perhaps some early h unte rs found that they could roll the dead body of a heavy animal through the forest on logs more easily than they could car ry it.However , the logs · 127 ·
themselves weighed a lot.It must have taken a great prehistoric thinke r to imagine two thin slices of log connected a t their center s by a st rong stick.T his would roll along just as the log s did , yet be much light er and easier to handle.Th us the wheel and axle(轮

I f a late t elephone call is r egarded in the Unit ed States as a cause for concer n , imagine the excitement and fear caused by a crowd of people ar riving at the door at 2 ∶00 am.On an island in the south Pacific, a plant manager from the United Stat es had just such an experience.The natives of the island met one night to discu ss a problem.When they ar rived at a solution , they went to see the plant manager and woke him up to tell him what had been decided.Unfor tu nately , they did not know that it is a very se rious matt er to wake up Ame ricans at such an hour.T he plant manager , who did not unde rstand the local culture , thought ther e was a fight and called the police.It neve r occur r ed to him(or to the natives)that pa rts of the day have differ ent meanings in different cultures.86.According to the U.S.custom, what does a very ear ly telephone call mean to an American ? A.Very impolite.B.Not usual.C.Very urgent.D.Not necessary.87.At which of the following hours is a phone call NOT regarded as of primary importance ?

二、阅读下面文字,完成7~10题。(共16分,每题4分)在所有灵长类动物中,人类的眼睛是最炯炯有神、引人注目的。通过眼睛,人们不仅能够观察外界,甚至能看出彼此的内心世界。为何人类的眼睛如此与众不同?在对比了人类与其他81种灵长类动物的眼睛之后,科学家得出结论:只有人类拥有比脸上及其他部位颜色更浅的巩膜——眼白。这个关键的解剖学特征加强了人类凝视的力量。而与此形成对照的是,其他灵长类动物都“隐藏”了自己的目光:他们有着暗色的巩膜,这使对方很难确定它们巩膜的边缘,因而难以猜测它们的视线到底投向何方。事实上,也正因为我们如此独特,我们的目光才具有更为丰富的含意。人类眼白的面积是其他灵长类动物的几倍,这使得我们可以通过眼睛来表示我们在关注什么,也可以轻易地辨认别人眼睛注视的方向。一直以来,人们都把眼睛称作心灵的窗口,由此可以看出眼睛在流露情感方面具有多么重要的作用。人与人的交往,有90%的非语言信息来自面部,眼、眉、嘴、鼻以及面部肌肉的细微变化,都会表达不同的含意——而眼睛则集中了面部表情的大部分信息。在眼球后方感光灵敏的视网膜含有1.37亿个细胞,将收到的信息传送至脑部。这些感光细胞在任何时间均可同时处理150万个信息。这就说明,即使是一瞬即逝的一个眼神,也能发射出千万个信息,表达丰富的情感和意向,泄露心底深处的秘密。现代研究发现,眼球底部有三级神经元,就像大脑皮质细胞一样具有分析综合能力,而瞳孔的变化、眼球的活动等,又直接受脑神经的支配,所以人的感情自然就能从眼睛中反射出来。瞳孔的放大和收缩,真实地反映出复杂多变的心理活动。若一个人感到愉悦、喜爱或恐惧时,他的瞳孔就会扩大平常的四倍;遇到郁闷、讨厌、消极的心情时,他的瞳孔会收缩得很小;瞳孔没有变化,表示他对所看到的物体漠不关心或者感到无聊。研究人员将人类婴儿与类人猿进行比较测试,以观察头部与眼睛的运动对改变他们视线的效果究竟如何。实现结果表明,1岁左右的尚未进行语言学习的婴儿便会追随其他人的目光,而不是人脸面向的方向。因此,当一个大人头不动却只用他的眼睛表示他在看着天花板,婴儿通常不会随着看过去。非洲大猿(黑猩猩、倭黑猩猩、大猩猩)是与我们亲缘关系最近的灵长类动物,它们恰好遵循同我们完全相反的视觉追踪机制。当我们只用眼睛盯着房顶(脸朝前),它们一般不会跟着看。但是当人的脸朝着房顶(眼睛闭上),它们便会跟着看过去。当我们使头和眼睛的指向不同时,我们便发现人不同于其他动物的地方了:人类对于目光的方向极其敏感。这恰恰是和我们亲缘关系最近的灵长类动物和不具有的本领。7.对第一段内容的理解或分析,正确的一项是
A.“人类的眼睛是最炯炯有神、引人注目的”,这句话表明了人眼结构上的特别之处。B.“颜色更浅的巩膜”,使人类的目光看起来更有凝聚力,有利于人们之间的交流。C.“其他灵长类动物都‘隐藏’了自己的目光,因为它们不想暴露自己的视力缺陷。D.“我们的目光才具有更为丰富的含意”,表明其他灵长的动物不用眼光来交流。
8.对第二段内容的理解或分析,不正确的一项是 ...
A.人与人在交往的过程中,有90%的信息来自面部,而其中的大部分由人眼来传递。B.含有1.37亿个感光细胞的视网膜,能及时处理收到的信息并将其传送至人的大脑。C.眼球底部的三级神经元具有分析综合能力,而脑神经也会支配瞳孔、眼球的活动。D.现代研究表明,瞳孔的放大、收缩及保持不变,反映出人类不同的心理活动状态。
9.对第三段内容的理解或推论,不正确的一项是 ...
A.研究人员之所以拿人类婴儿与类人猿进行比较测试,为的是排除成人思维的干扰。B.类人猿的目光表现为追随观察对象的头部活动,而人类则是追随对象目光的方向。C.只要大人闭上眼睛,然后不管他们头部会如何活动,人类婴儿都不会随着看过去。D.人类的眼睛优越于其他灵长类之处,就是能够更多地通过眼睛来传递信息和情感。
10.下列语句,最适合作文标题的一项是
A.人眼有哪些秘密
B.眼睛是心灵之窗 D.眼睛的实际功用 C.人眼如何表达情感
三、(25分)
阅读下面的现代文,完成11~14题。在外行走,常有绿树掩映的村庄撞进眼帘。树木和村庄相融相映,让人捉摸不透到底谁主谁次。其实,是村庄在树木里还是树木在村庄里并不重要,重要的是当丛丛翠色诱人地环绕着村庄、村庄也在树木里更显妩媚的时候,让人内心不由自主生出一份宁静与祥和。由此,我固执地认为,树木应该就是村庄的灵魂。只有树木,才能让村庄青春永在。面对这些村庄,心中莫名地翻腾着一种对家乡怪怪的思绪,细细想来,这要归结于那些矗立在眼前同时也植根于内心的树木。很多年前,和邻乡一位当过支书的老人说起我的家乡,“一个村庄里连棵树都没有。那地方有什么好啊!”他的这句话叫我的心急跳了一下,也急痛了一下。后来我自己回到家乡,看着满目荒凉然而又魂牵梦萦的土色故乡,也只能任由五味交替腌渍灵魂。曾经的家乡的树木,就这样又一次走进了记忆走进了心灵。我想,一棵树立起来高不盈数丈,倒下去也高不过数尺。然而,就是在这尺与丈之间,却又仿佛有一种痛处与依恋胶着在一起,让人难以释怀。现在的家乡,几乎看不到树木,一个个村庄赤裸裸地矗立在黄土地上刺目刺心,灰蒙蒙地缺少生机和灵性,肆无忌惮地弥漫着一种悲哀的情绪。家乡以前也曾有一片几百亩大的树园,绿在村庄的东南角。园子里长满了杏树、桃树、柳树、榆树、沙枣树、由玩伴儿牛牛的爷爷看护。每天放学,我和牛牛都要先到树园里铲草、玩耍然后才会回家。春天的榆树,夏天的酸杏,秋天的毛桃和沙枣,可以说是我们童年最奢侈的果品。而离村庄不远的看头山则是公社的林地,山上同样也长满了榆树、沙枣和毛桃树。每年的春天,淡淡的花香都会弥漫在周围的一片村庄之中,让人不由得想把这清香的空气永远留存。现在这些树木呢?我问过很多家乡人,得到的结果却让我唏嘘不已。包产到户后,树园也分片到户了。满园的树木便陆陆续续遭到砍伐,能用的被搭了棚圈,不能用的成了烧柴;树园的旧址现在早已经住满了人家。曾有一段时间,政府为了减少开支,裁减了护林员,将防风林划片承包给了个人,又引发了新一轮的砍伐。村庄里的树木也因庄园的改建而无踪影,以至于在后来好长一段时间中,家乡都很难看到树的身影了。前不久和童年伙伴聚在一起,说起童年趣事,说起看头山、树园,也谈到家乡的现状,这才陆续知道,山上坡地因退耕还种植了柠条,今年的雨水好,山上又能看到绿色了。只是因为干旱,树木的成活率不高。大家都说,恢复绿色家园的难度很大,但应该庆幸的是,毕竟已经迈出可贵的一步。一颗树站起不盈数丈,躺倒也不过数尺,尺与丈之间就是丈量灵魂的尺度。一片站立的树是一个地方灵魂的美丽展示,一片躺倒的树则是这个地方灵魂在集结死亡。家乡将何去何从? 我当然忍不住要想,让家乡成为绿树里的村庄,也应该是经历了颜多变故的家乡父老的愿望吧!11.文章从绿树掩映的村庄带给作者美好的感受写起,这有什么作用?(6分)
12.文中说,“就是在这尺与长之间,却又仿佛有一种痛楚与依恋胶着在一起,让人难以释怀”。结合全文,说说这句话的含意。(6分)
13.家乡树园的昔兴今废,分别带给作者怎样的感受?(6分)
14.作者在文中说,“树木应该就是村庄的灵魂”,后来又追问“家乡将何去何从。”对此,你 是如何理解的?(7分)

16.文中先说“乙竟日无所获也”,结尾说“乙如其教,连取数鱼”,这样的对比说明了什么?(6分)

PassageTwo
Mr.Leonard,the principal of the Bedford Academy High School in Bedford-Stuyvesant,Brooklyn,is a man of many solutions,many of them creative,many of them,apparently, also effective.In New York City, only about 50 percent of students manage to graduate in four years.At Bedford Academy 63 percent of the students qualify for free lunch,a majority of which are being raised by a single mother and another significant number are being raised by someone other than a parent.Yet close to 95 percent of students graduate,and actually every one of those goes on to college.
Mr.Leonard does not achieve those results by admitting only high-testing students into his school.Of the students arriving with lower test scores,Mr.Leonard says that he is not looking for the students with the highest grades,or even the best behavior.He‟ S looking for the ones who understand his basic mission of discipline and respect,and are willing to devote themselves to his regular training course.
The Bedford Academy High School is famous for its autonomy.For Mr.Leonard,autonomy means insisting that all entering students spend their Saturday mornings in preparatory classes the summer before they enroll.Autonomy also means an automatic weeklong suspension for any student who “disrespects a female,”said Mr.Leonard.It means requiring struggling students,in the weeks before the Regents exams,to attend studying sessions on Saturday from 9 a.m.until 9 p.m.It means the most senior, experienced teachers,including Mr.Leonard,teach not the school‟S academic jewels,but the most struggling students.
And autonomy also means the school‟ S teachers administer almost no homework.Instead they emphasize after-school tutoring where the teachers Can keep a better eye on whether the student is actually grasping the material.
40.In Mr.Leonard‟S school,most ofthe students who don‟t have to pay for lunch____.
A.are adopted children

A.leave the school if they fail to respect a woman B.attend the preparatory classes in the summer before enrolling
C.do their homework to review what they have learned D.come to the school on Sundays Passage Three
People joke that no one in Los Angeles reads;everyone watches TV, rents videos,or goes to the movies.The most popular reading material is comic books,movie magazines,and TV guide s.City libraries have only 10 percent of the traffic that car washes have.But how do you explain this? An annual book festival in west Los Angeles is flourishing year after year.People wait half an hour for a parking space to become available.

Passage Four
Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask someone for a date?
Many people are afraid to assert themselves(坚持己见).Dr.Robert Alberti,author of Stand Up, Speak Out,and Talk Back, thinks it‟s because of their lack of confidence.“Our structure of organization tends to make people distrust themselves.”says Alberti.“There‟s always a„superior‟around-a parent,a teacher,a boss-who„knows better‟.These„superiors‟often gain when they keep breaking at your self-image.”
But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves.They offer“assertiveness training”courses-AT for short.In the AT course people learn that they have a right to be themselves.They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so.They learn to be aggressive without hurting people.
In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear.A group taking an AT course will help the shy person to lose his fear.But AT uses an even stronger motive-the need to share.The shy person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels.
Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image.If someone you face is more“important”than you,you may feel less of a person.You start to doubt your own good sense.You go by the other person‟ s label.But,why should you?AT says you can get to feel good about yourself.And once you do,you can learn to speak out.
48.People are reluctant to talk back because____.
A.they have a poor self-image B.they have not received AT courses
C.they have not grasped communication skillsD.they are not generous enough to share things
49.According to Dr.Alberti,our organization is constructed to____.
A.get people to trust their own solutions to problemsB.keep people as knowledgeable as their“superiors”
C.train people‟ s capacity to speak up for their righ
D.make things more favorable for“superiors”
50.One of the objectives of AT courses is to____.
A.train people to trust othersB.encourage people to share their thoughts
C.tell people of their right to be“superiors”D.help people overcome their fear of asserting themselves
51.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Protect Yourself
B.Try to Speak Out C.Share Your Opinion
D.Face Your Superior
Passage Five
A wind tunnel is used for testing planes or plane models.In a wind tunnel air is blown over a plane ora model placed in a test section.Wind tunnel test sections are different in size depending on airflow speed requirements.Some low-speed tunnels have test sections large enough for a complete small plane.In the very high speed tunnels used for space testing,however,the model may be as small as a pencil.
There are two ways of feeding air to the test section.In the constant flow tunnel,airflow produced by electric fans is forced through the tunnel to the test section,then through another tunnel section back to the starting point for reuse.The other way involves storing high-pressure air in a

box,sending it out by a controlling device to pass through the tunnel and test section into another box.This way is usually used for a very short period of high-speed airflow.
Wind tunnels are usually used to test planes before they are flown.Problems in a plane carl be found when it meets the high-speed airflow in the tunnel.For example,if the wings are built so that they would weaken at high speeds,this fact can be discovered in the tunnel,thus saving many lives and millions of dollars.
In a wind tunnel,scientists also find out how different planes will act at different speeds.They find out such things as how the air dives by the wing surfaces,how slowly a plane can fly before it starts to drop,and howfastit can climb.
52.Some wind tunnel sections are larger than others because____.
A.they are used for large planes
B.they can produce a stronger wind
C.they are built to conduct a high-speed test
D.the air in them flows at a lower speed
53.The underlined words“this fact”in Paragraph 3 refer to the fact that____.
A.it costs a lot to test a plane B.the wings are not good enough C.some problems are found with a plane D.the wings meet the high-speed air flow in the tunnel
54.As mentioned in the last paragraph,a wind tunnel can be used to find out____.A.how fast a plane can rise
B.how smooth a plane‟s surface is
C.how a plane lands in a strong wind
D.how a plane drops at a low height
55.What can we learn from the passage?
A.It is very expensive to build a wind tunnel. B.Wind tunnels are very essential in testing planes.
C.Scientists still have a lot to learn about wind tunnels. D.There are new ways to feed air to the test section.
