In conversation he expressed little
38、joy and it seemed that his life was drawing to a close. When his heart problems led to operation, Jim went through it successfully, and a full recovery was expected. Within days, however, his heart was not beating properly. Jim was rushed back to operation, but nothing was found to explain the cause
39、 of his illness. He died on the operating table on the day before his 48th birthday. Dr Bruce Smoller, a psychologist(心理学家), had had many conversations with him, and the more he learned, the stranger he realized Jims case was. When Jim was a child, his father, a teacher, suffered a heart attack and
40、stayed home to recover. One morning Jim asked his father to look over his homework, promising to come home from school at noon to pick it up. His father agreed, but when Jim returned his father had died. Jims father was 48. I think all his life Jim believed he killed his father, Dr Smoller says. He
41、felt that if he had not asked him to look at his homework, his father would have lived. Jim had been troubled by the idea. The operation was the trial(判决)he had expected for forty years. Smoller believes that Jim killed himself not to live to the age of 48. Jims case shows the powerful role that att
42、itude(态度) plays in physical health, and that childhood experiences produce far-reaching effect on the health of grown-ups. Although most cases are less direct than Jims, studies show that childhood events, besides genes, may well cause such midlife diseases as cancer, heart disease and mental illnes
43、s.64. Jim was sent back to operation because .A. his heart didnt work well B. he expected a full recoveryC. his life was drawing to a close D. the first one wasnt well performed65.

44、 Jim and his father died of the same disease.D. Jims death is closely connected with his fathers.66. From Smollers words, we can infer that .A. Jims father cared little about his study B.

45、wouldnt live to the age of 4867. Which of the following could have strong effect on ones physical health according to the text?a. Ones genes. b. Ones life in childhood. c. Ones physical education. d. The date of ones birthday. e. The opinions one has about something.A. a,b,d B. a,b,e C. a,c,e D.b,c,
46、dD Many people write to newspapers and magazines to express their opinions. Letters to the editor must carry the writers full name, address and telephone number, although the information is not necessary for publication. This requierement to provide personal particulars is a clear indication that wr
47、iters are held responsible for what they say. When a writer wants his voice heard, he needs to claim ownership of his voice Responsibility is the name of the game. People today prefer living together to putting their signatures on a marriage certificate because they refuse to accept responsibility f
48、or the relationship, said social worker Ken Yip, and this is what is causing a lot of family problems. When we sign a paper, for example, a business contract or a bank document, the signature is a kind of consent, an agreement to take the matter seriously. Most governments and many organizations wil
49、l not process writers complaints if they do not bear the writers signature. The absence of a signature, they explain, tells us that the writer cannot be too serious and therefore does not deserve a reply. There are people who wish to remain anonymous(匿名的) for various reasons. Multi-billionaire Mr Ki
50、ng donates generously to charity several times a year. He gives simply because he wants to help but not for the publicity his donations may bring, and he does not want his good deeds to make news. In other cases, people insist on anonymity because they are afraid of the consequences of revealing the
51、ir identity. Crime witnesses may be willing to assist the police, but most are unwilling to give their names when reporting a crime. Name or no name? The answer is very personal and lies in how much we want to get involved. We all have a name, It is a matter of responsibility to it when we make a st
52、atement, a claim or an accusation. We all want to honor our own name and it is only by stamping our expression of an opinion with our own name that we honor what we say.68. what does the writer mean by saying Responsibility is the name of the game?A. Writers need to provide their personal informatio
53、n in the game.B. Publication must bear the writers full name, address and phone number.C. Writers should be responsible for their names.D. Names are required to indicate writers responsibility for what they say.69. The second paragraph suggests that a paper without a signature may .A. help to end a
54、relationship B. not get a replyC. be accepted all the same D. become a family problem70. Some people dont want their names known because they are .A. hesitant to make a donation B. unwilling to draw public attentionC. afraid of an accusation D. ready for involvement71. The passage is mainly about .A
55、. honor and writers B. identity and signatureC. signature and responsibility D. anonymity and signatureE The Colorado Desert, one of the big deserts in the world, is in the southwest of California in the USA. It is about 320 kilometers long, and of varying width. It is part of a great expanse of des
56、ert land which stretches north and east into other states, and south into Mexico. The Colorado Desert is on the western side of the Colorado River. The temperature in all these regions is the highest in the United States: even winter days are warm, and in summer it is often extremely hot. Excellent
57、motor roads with well-equipped filling stations at convenient intervals have today deprived them of most of their terrors-the modern traveler in his high-powered car can afford to be amused at mirages(海市蜃楼) and forget the very real threat of thirst that threatened the early settlers moving slowly ac
58、ross the heated land on foot or by wagon. In the northern part of the Colorado Desert, shifting sands are dangerous; but the southern part, once waterless, bare, and uninhabited, now maintains a population of over 60,000. Such varied crops are grown as cotton, watermelons, winter vegetables and grap
59、es. This region was threatened with disasters between 1905 and 1907,when the Colorado River got out of control, and unmanageable floods looked like sweeping away the valleys prosperity. They were eventually brought under control by the formation of a new inland lake, known as the Salton Sea. This gr
60、eat basin, 80 kilometers long, had once been an arm of the Gulf of California, and then for ages a bed of salt, well below sea level. The excess waters of the river were turned into this. Today this lake looks out of place in the middle of the desert. It is very unlikely that any other part of the d
61、esert will be threatened again. The building of the great dam on the Colorado River has brought the river under effective control.72. Travelers in the Colorado Desert benefit from now.A. the weather and vast farmlandB. the improvements of the road and means of transportationC: the construction of th
62、e river dam and the control of the desertD. the increase of population and every years good harvest73. Compared with the early settlers, the modern travelers have the advantages in the following aspects EXCEPT .A. a better climate B. advanced automobilesC. motor roads D. filling stations from place

65、For more than twenty years scientists have been seeking to understand the mystery of the” sixth sense of direction. By trying out ideas and solving problems one by one, they are now getting closer to one answer. One funny idea is that animals might have a built-in compass( 指南针). Our earth itself is
66、a big magnet( 磁体）. So a little magnetic needle that swings freely lines itself with the big earth magnet to point north and south. When people discovered that idea about a thousand years ago and invented the compass, it allowed sailors to navigate (航海)on ocean voyages, even under cloudy skies. Actua
67、lly the idea of the living compass came just from observing animals in nature. Many birds migrate twice a year between their summer homes and winter homes. Some of them fly for thousands of kilometers and mostly at night. Experiments have shown that some birds can recognize star patterns. But they c
68、an keep on course even under cloudy skies. How can :they do that? A common bird that does not migrate but is great at finding its way home is the homing pigeon. Not all pigeons can find their way home. Those that can are very good at it, and they have been widely studied. One interesting experiment
69、was to attach little magnets to the birds heads to block their magnetic sense-just as a loud radio can keep you from hearing a call to dinner. On sunny days, that did not fool the pigeons. Evidently they can use the sun to tell which way they are going. But on cloudy days, the pigeons with magnets c
70、ould not find their way. It was as if the magnets had blocked their magnetic sense. Similar experiments with the same kind of results were done with honeybees. These insects also seem to have a special sense of direction. In spite of the experiments, the idea of an animal compass seemed pretty extra
71、ordinary. How would an animal get the magnetic stuff for a compass? An answer came from an unexpected source. A scientist was studying bacteria that live in the mud of ponds and marshes.He found accidentally little rod-like bacteria that all swam together in one direction-north. Further study showed
72、 that each little bacterium had a chain of dense particles inside, which proved magnetic. The bacteria had made themselves into little magnets that could line up with the earths magnet. The big news was that a living thing, even a simple bacterium, can make magnetite. That led to a search to see whe
73、ther animals might have it. By using a special instrument called magnetometer, scientists were able to find magnetite in bees and birds, and even in fish. In each animal, except for the bee, the magnetic staff was always in or closer to the brain. Thus, the idea of a built-in animal compass began to
