Choose the best answ

33、er from the four choices given and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring Answer Sheet. Passage OneFrom the goose that laid the golden egg to the race between the tortoise and the hare, Aesops fables are known for teaching moral lessons rat

34、her than literally being true. But a new study says at least one such tale might really have happened.Its the fable about a thirsty crow. The bird es across a jar with the water level too low for him to reach. The crow raises the water level by dropping stones into the jar. The moral tells: Little b

35、y little does the trick, or in other retellings, necessity is the mother of invention.Now, scientists report that some relatives of crows called rooks used the same stone-dropping strategy to get at a floating worm. Results of experiments with three birds were published online by the journal Current

36、 Biology.Rooks, like crows, had already been shown to use tools in previous experiments. Christopher Bird of CambridgeUniversity and a colleague exposed the rooks to a 6-inch-tall clear plastic tube containing water, with a worm on its surface. The birds used the stone-dropping trick spontaneously a

37、nd appeared to estimate how many stones they would need. They learned quickly that larger stones work better.In an acpanying mentary, Alex Taylor and Russell Gray of the University of Auckland in New Zealand noted that in an earlier experiment, the same birds had dropped a single stone into a tube t

38、o get food released at the bottom. So maybe they were just following that strategy again when they saw the tube in the new experiment, the scientists suggested. But Birds paper argued theres more to it: The rooks dropped multiple stones rather than just one before reaching for the worm, and they rea

39、ched for it at the top of the tube rather than trying to reach the food at the bottom.The researchers also said Aesops crow might have actually been a rook, since both kinds of birds were called crows in the past.51. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Animals are smarter than we have expected.

40、B. Aesops fables tell real morals.C. Necessity is the mother of invention.D. Some of Aesops fables may be true.52. Aesops fables have been popular for such a long time because they _.A. tell us the truth of natureB. tell us interesting stories of animalsC. are teachings of lifeD. are scientific lite

41、rature53. In the experiments, in order to eat the worm floating on the water surface, the rooks _.A. found a way to raise the water levelB. broke the tube with larger stonesC. counted how many stones they would needD. cooperated peacefully54. According to Alex Taylor and Russell Gray, it seems that

42、rooks _.A. tend to follow the others strategyB. can remember their former strategyC. can change strategy in different situationsD. seldom use the same strategy in experiments55. According to the passage, crows and rooks _.A. are the same kind of birds with different namesB. are very different in beh

43、aviorC. had the same name in the pastD. were both used in the experiments56. The word spontaneously (Paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to _.A. surely B. naturally C. voluntarily D. quicklyPassage TwoToo much eating. Too many unhealthy foods. Too many advertisements for food. Too little activity.Dif

44、ferent explanations are offered for Americas weight problem-a problem increasingly shared by other countries. Almost one-fifth of American children and teenagers are overweight.Schools have been urged to increase physical education, an important tool for public health. And many have. Yet now es a st

45、udy showing an increase in the number of injuries in physical education class. Injuries increased 150% between 1997 and 2007.he study involved injuries treated in hospital emergency departments. Only 2% were serious. The researchers did not try to identify the causes of the increase, but they have s

46、ome theories.Lara McKenzie from OhioStateUniversity was the lead researcher. She says one possibility is a decrease in the number of school nurses during the period they studied. For example, a 2004 study showed that the number of school nurses nationally failed to meet federal guidelines. Schools w

47、ithout a nurse on duty may be more likely to send an injured child to a hospital.Another possible reason for more injuries is a change in the traditional idea of physical education. This New PE. expands the kinds of sports that are taught. But activities that some schools offer now, like rock climbi

48、ng walls and skateboarding, can also expand the risks, says Cheryl Richardson. She is with the National Association for Sport and Physical Education. Also, she says not all states require P.E. teachers to be specially trained. Untrained teachers could be less likely to recognize unsafe conditions.Ch

49、eryl Richardson also points to one of the studys findings-that injuries are often the result of contact with a person or a structure. This tells her that the teachers were not giving each student enough space to move around safely.Six activities produced 70% of all injuries: running, basketball, foo

50、tball, volleyball, soccer and gymnastics.The researchers say larger class sizes are another possible reason for the increase in injuries. Larger classes can mean less supervision. The National Association for Sport and Physical Education says 20 to 30 students in a PE. class should be the limit.57.

51、Overweight problem is _.A. not mon outside the United States of AmericaB. also a headache in other countriesC. caused by too many advertisements for foodD. neglected in many countries58. The increase of physical education _.A. has reduced the number of overweight childrenB. is the major cause of inj

52、uries of children in the U.S.C. has more disadvantages than advantagesD. has caused more injuries in school59. It is implied in Lara McKenzies study that _.A. in the past some injuries were treated in schoolB. school nurses are now more irresponsibleC. students dont have enough space to move around

53、in schoolD. schools lack funds in hiring school nurses60. Which of the following is NOT included in the reasons for more injuries?A. More dangerous activities.B. Less specially trained teachers.C. Less supervision.D. More unhealthy food.61. Which of the following activities has caused more injuries?

54、A. Rock climbing. B. Skateboarding.C. Soccer. D. Swimming.62. According to the researchers, the injury problem could be less serious if _.A. a P.E. class had fewer studentsB. schools reduced the P.E. classesC. schools reduced the outdoor activitiesD. personal contacts were avoidedPassage ThreeThe hu

55、man body contains enormous quantities of energy. In fact, the average adult has as much energy stored in fat as a one-ton battery. That energy fuels our everyday activities, but what if those actions could in turn run the electronic devices we rely on? Today, innovators around the world are banking

56、on our potential to do just that.Movement produces kinetic energy (动能), which can be converted into power. In the past, devices that turned human kinetic energy into electricity, such as hand-cranked radios, puters and flashlights, involved a persons full participation. But a growing field is tappin

57、g into our energy without our even noticing it.Consider, for example, a health club. With every step you take on a treadmill and with every muscle curl, you turn surplus calories into motion that could drive a generator and produce electricity. The energy from one persons workout may not be much, bu

58、t 100 people could contribute significantly to a facilitys power needs.Thats the idea behind the Green Microgym in Portland, Oregon, where machines like stationary bikes harvest energy during workouts. Pedaling turns a generator, producing electricity that helps to power the building. For now, body

59、energy supplies only a small fraction of the gyms needs, but the amount should increase as more machines are adapted. By being extremely energy-efficient and bining human power, solar and someday wind, I believe well be able to be net-zero for electricity sometime this year, says the gyms owner, Ada

60、m Boesel. His bikes, by the way, arent the first to put pedal power to work. In some parts of the world, cyclists have been powering safety lights for years with devices called bicycle dynamos, which use a generator to create alternating current with every turn of the wheels.Dance clubs are also get

61、ting in on the action. In the Netherlands, Rotterdams new Club WATT has a floor that harnesses the energy created by the dancers steps. For now, its just enough to power LED lights in the floor, but in the future, more output is expected from newer technology.63. Using human body energy as power sup

62、plies _.A. requires us to be strong B. is a great new ideaC. proves to be difficult D. is increasingly popular64. Paragraph 3 mainly describes _.A. the contribution of body energy to power needsB. the theory behind the use of body energyC. the different ways of putting body energy to workD. the late

63、st device turning body energy into power65. It can be learned that the Green Microgym _.A. is using human, solar and wind power to produce electricityB. is the first to use bikes to harvest human body energyC. will be able to satisfy its power needs by using green energyD. will introduce the technol

64、ogy to other parts of the world66. Adam Boesel would describe the body energy use in his gym as _.A. surprisingly advanced B. far from satisfactoryC. considerably helpful D. truly irreplaceable67. What is the authors most likely ment on the application of body energy?A. It is unrealistic at present. B. It has a promising future.C. Its effect is still unknown. D. It depends on the energy cost.
