10、t only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someones face when you know they are feeling down in the dumps ( 处于沮丧中), as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart.How would you feel if
11、you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your comer store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I dont know the person Im joking around with. My Grandma always
12、found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy (礼貌) to speak to others that are around you.I know of a few people that dont have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone ar
13、ound them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They dont get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a r
14、eally funny joke? Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need t
15、o find a way to bypass the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.21. The author answers the question in the second paragraph with _. A. facts and descriptions B. evidence and argumen
16、t C. examples and conclusion D. stories and persuasion22. The phrase “busting a gut in the third paragraph can be replaced by _. A. explaining carefully B. speaking loud C. keeping silent D. laughing hard23.In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to _.A. talk about his own understanding of
17、 humorB. encourage people to be humorous in daily lifeC. introduce a practical way to get through daily lifeD. convince people of the power of being optimistic about life24.What is the author s attitude towards the present world? A. Positive. B. Critical. C. Satisfied. D. Indifferent. B Today just a
18、s technology changed the face of industry, farms have experienced an “agricultural revolution”. On the farm of today, machines provide almost all the power. One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their
19、farms more efficiently. The computers help them keep more accurate records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much livestock (家畜) to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer companies have been developing special computer program
20、s just for farmers. Programs are being written for pig producers, grain farmers, potato farmers, and dairy farmers. In the future, farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs. Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are
21、 required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future. While the old-time farm depended on horse power, and modern farms depend on machine power, farms of the future will depend on comput
22、er power. Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot, a real “mechanized hired hand” that will be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human being. Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots will make shocking changes in farming before
23、the end of the century. Unlike farmers of the present, farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them. Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear (修剪) sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit. Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For exampl
24、e, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive them into the barn, then connect them to the milking machines, watch the machines, and disconnect them when they are finished. In the future, this will all be done by robots. In addition, when the milking is completed, the robots will automati
25、cally check to make sure that the milk is pure. The complete change of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long.25. According to the passage, computers can not help farmers decide _.A. how much money they can earn from their productsB. whether to
26、plant a certain kind of cropC. what livestock to raise D. when to sell their products26. Which of the following statements is true?A. Farmers in the future will depend totally on computers.B. Farmers mainly use machines on their farms at present.C. Both computers and robots have been in use on today
27、s farms.D. Students at agricultural colleges neednt take normal agricultural courses.27.What is the best title for the whole passage?A. Computer, Farmers Best Friend B. Farmers in The FutureC. The Agricultural Revolution D. Computers and Robots C Our brains work in complex and strange ways. There ar
28、e some people who can calculate the day of the week for any given date in 40,000 years, but who cannot add two plus two. Others can perform complex classical piano pieces after hearing them once, but they cannot read or write. Dr.J.Langdon Down first described this condition in 1887. He called these
29、 people idiot savants. An idiot savant is a person who has significant mental impairment (损伤) , such as in autism ( 孤独症，自闭症) or retardation. At the same time, the person also exhibits some extraordinary skills, which are unusual for most people. The skills of the savant may vary from being exception
30、ally gifted in music or in mathematics, or having a photographic memory. One of the first descriptions of a human who could calculate quickly was written in 1789 by Dr.Benjamin Rush, an American doctor. His patient, Thomas Fuller, was brought to Virginia as a slave in1724. It took Thomas only 90 sec
31、onds to work out that a man who has lived 70 years, 17 days, and 12 hours has lived 2,210,500,800 seconds. Despite this ability, he died in 1790 without ever learning to read or write. Another idiot savant slave became famous as a pianist in the 1860s. Blind Tom had a vocabulary of only 100 words, b
32、ut he played 5 ,000 musical pieces beautifully. In the excellent movie Rain Man, made in 1988 and available on video cassette, Dustin Hoffman plays an idiot savant who amazes his brother played by Tom Cruise, with his ability to perform complex calculations very rapidly. Today we more clearly recogn
33、ize that the idiot savant is special because of brain impairment. Yet not all brain impairment leads to savant skills. Some studies have shown that people who have purposeful interruption of the left side of the brain can develop idiot savant skills. However few people wish to participate in such ex
34、periments. There are many excellent reasons for not undergoing unnecessary experimentation on ones brain. The term idiot savant is outdated and inappropriate. Virtually all savants have a high degree of intelligence and are thus not idiots.28.What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Idiot savants
35、have areas of outstanding abilities.B. Human Beings have complicated thinking process.C. The brains of the idiot savants are partly impaired.D. The reasons why people have wonderful skills vary.29.Which of the following can be done by Rain Man?A. He can play wonderful pieces of classical music.B. He
36、 can guess out exactly the length of a mans life.C. He can memorize the contents of the pictures fast.D. He can count matches dropped on the floor quickly.30. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? ( 15 refer to paragraphs 15)31.What can you infer from the passage?A. Idiot savant
37、s have real talents for art and math.B. Dr.Down is the first person who found idiot savants.C. Few people wish to risk becoming savants by brain operations. D. Intentional left brain impairments will surely lead to idiot savants. DFor decades, scientists thought the Tandayapa Andean toad (蟾蜍）was ext
38、inct. But a group of researchers recently came upon two living Tandayapa Andean toads in the foggy forests of Ecuador (South America).The rare, tiny brown toad was first discovered in 1970 in the Tandayapa Valley, located in Pichincha province in the northern part of Ecuador.After finding one toad,
39、biologists spent weeks looking for more. But they did not find any, and the toad was declared extinct almost as soon as it was discovered.More than 40 years later, a team of scientists found not one, but two toads similar to the Tandayapa Andean. But these toads were not found in the same place. Ins
40、tead, scientist found the twosome in the foggy forests of the neighboring Imbabura province.“At first sight I couldnt identify the species -it wasnt even on my radar (雷达), since they hadnt been seen in . Years,” Ryan Lynch, the lead scientist, told National Geographic. “But I knew that it was someth
41、ing very rare.”On a return trip, biologists found many more specimens of the brown toad in the same area. Experts have declared that the species is not at all extinct.The Tandayapa toad develops differently from other toads. Most toad babies start life as tadpoles, which have gills (鳃) and live in w
42、ater. But Tandayapa toad babies, called toadlets, develop on land. These toadlets skip the tadpole stage entirely.The Tandayapas appearance is strange too. As toadlets, they are covered in patterns of copper and gold, with snaking white lines on their bellies. This pattern gets darker as the toads g
43、row. By the time they become adults, they appear completely brown without a pattern and have white bumps (凸起) on their sides. Typical toads dont experience such extreme color and pattern changes.Although scientists are excited about the reappearance of the Tandayapa toad, they still worry about the
44、species survival. Humans have been clearing much of the forest where the toads live.However, environmental groups are working to get these forest areas protected. Many hope that the rediscovery of the tiny brown Tandayapa toad may help make their case.32. The Tandayapa Andean toad discovered in 1970
45、 _.A. preferred living in pairs B. got used to the dry weatherC. could be spotted everywhere in EcuadorD. was considered the only one of this species33. Ryan Lynch discovered Tandayapa Andean toads _.A. completely by chance B. with the help of his radarC. thanks to his return trip to Ecuador D. in t
46、he same place the first toad was found34. The Tandayapa Andean toads experience color changes when _.A. they are threatened B. the weather changesC. they are growing up D. their habitats change35. What would be the best title for the text? A. Living on land B. Lost in the forestC. Fighting for survi

48、ng most of these people.ReadingRead a wide variety of books and articles that stretch your imagination. Dont just read easy books (like Harry Potter). 37 Those difficult texts can really stretch your mind.Because most of the people mentioned grew up in a different era, they spent a big portion of th
49、eir time just reading the encyclopedia. Many of them would eventually read every encyclopedia volume letter. These people had a strong need to learn new things.Play-actingAt an early age, most of these people spent more time play-acting than others. Very few of these people spent their time playing
50、organized sports-they instead were in their bedroom, backyard, or nearby park playing by themselves. 38ExperimentingIt is amazing how many successful people lit things on fire, blew things up, caught and studied bugs, built bird nests, and more. 39 And they were the ones in charge of the experiment.
