Its a fact, however, that by 100 A.D., Rome was the centre of a big empire. It was from Syria in the east to Spain in the west, from Britain in the north to Africa
36、 in the south. All or part of 27 of todays countries were included in the Roman Empire. All of their people were ruled by one government, that of Rome. All educated people spoke the same language, Latin. And one of the empires outposts (边远居民点) was called Londinium. This unimportant town would later
37、become London, England, and the centre of another empire.The Roman Empire came to an end about 1,500 years ago. Yet in some ways it is still with us. Take the letters you are reading for example, English, like many other languages, uses the Roman alphabet (字母) while also borrowing many words. The la
38、ws of many European countries are based on ancient Roman laws. Roman ruins are seen throughout Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. In some places, Roman roads and water courses are still in use. To this day, a European in North Africa is likely to be called “Roumi”-Roman. Even modern place na

You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!Parapsychologists (灵学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is l
43、ooking at them. To research whether such a “sixth sense” really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist (心理学家) at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects
44、（受试者）were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he questioned the subjects, almostall of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them
45、.For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they werent. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were s
46、tared at and when they werent. Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when theyre being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”66. The purpose (目的) of the two experiments is to_.A
47、. explain when people can have a sixth senseB. show how people act while being watched in the labC. study whether humans can sense when they are stared atD. prove why humans have a sixth sense67. In the first experiment, the subjects_.A. were not told that they would be stared at B. lost their sense
48、 when they were stared at C. were not sure when they would be stared atD. were uncomfortable when they were stared at68. The underlined word “outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means_.A. value B. result C. performance D. connection69. In the second experiment, the subjects _. A. could tell
49、 when they were stared at and when they werent. B. could tell when they were stared at but couldnt tell when they werent. C. couldnt tell when they were stared at but could tell when they werent. D. couldnt tell when they were stared at or when they werent.70. What can be learned from the passage?A.
50、 People are born with a sixth sense.B. The experiments support parapsychologists idea.C. The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.D. People have a sixth sense in all places.PART FOUR WRITINGSECTION A (110=10)Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the i
51、nformation from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer. When you go to Japan or get in touch with Japanese people, you will find that the Japanese people pay much attention to telephone numbers as well as to the numbers in daily life. Since lucky numbers are connected with something
52、 nice, people can remember them very easily. So they have been used as advertisements for the shops. They like to use different telephone numbers in different places. The owners of bathrooms, for example, like to use 4626, because when it is read in Japanese, it has the same pronunciation as “have a
53、 good bath”. Both the cloth shops and the butchers like to use 4129 better than any other number because this number can either be read as “good dress” or “good meat”. On the other hand, there are also telephone numbers which are regarded as forbidden by the Japanese people. 1567, for example, has t
54、he sound of “kill people”, while 4219 has that of “people die”. It is said some people had bad luck when they used telephone numbers like that, so all the people dont use them. At present, there are about 44,000,000 telephones in Japan, yet it is almost impossible for everyone to have a lucky number
55、. So these numbers have become commodities (商品期货) and can be sold as goods, of which the price can reach as high as 222,000 Japanese yean.Title: Japanese taking telephone numbers into much 71._ TopicPeople telephone numbersTelephone numbersLucky numbersLucky telephone numbers 72. _ for the shopsDiff

58、doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?Yes, there is really a job where you can get paid to taste ice-cream. Just ask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a products quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for appr
59、oving large quantities of the sweet ice cream - as well as for developing over 75 flavors (味道).Some people think that it would be easy to do this job, after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No - theres more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out
60、 that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses (评价) 60 ice-cream samples. He first lets the ice cream warm up about 10 degrees higher to about -8. Harrison explains, “You get mor
61、e flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup.”While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks
62、himself, “Does the product have the color expected from that flavor?” Next its time to taste!Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy - working cool.81.
