13、or a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound. Now and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see. Recently I was visited by a very good friend who had just returned from a lon

I (22)_be suspicious if I had not been accustomed to such responses, for long ago I became convened that (23)_seeing see little. How was it possible, I asked myself, (24)_(walk)for an hour through the w

I feel the delight of a flower, and something of the miracle of nature is revealed to me. Occasionally, if I am very fortunate, I place my hand gently in a small tree and feel the happy tremb
16、le of a bird in full song. I am delighted to have cool waters of a river (26)_(rush)through my open fingers. To me the feast of seasons is a thrilling and unending drama, the action of (27)_streams through my fingertips. At times my heart cries out, (28)_(thrill)to see al these things. If I can get
17、so much pleasure by mere touch, how much more beauty must be revealed by sight? Yet, those who, have eyes apparently, see little. The view of color and action that fill the world(29)_(take) for granted. It is human, perhaps, to appreciate little that which we have and to long for that which we have

It is not just stress that can do damage. One researcher though that if the same cold virus was put under two differe
21、nt noses, the person who is depressed or anxious would be more likely to develop the cold. How can stress and related emotions contribute to poor health? These feelings can cause the _33_of substances that damage or weaken our immure cells. Negative emotion can also cause our bodies to produce fewer
22、 substances that _34_help fight off disease. If stress, depression, anger and other negative feelings can make you more likely to get sick, can the _35_be true? Will you have a stronger immune_36_and greater health if you are happier, less stressed? Experts believe that the answer is yes. There are
23、studies showing that by _-37_certain mind-body techniques that help reduce stress and improve outlook, cancer patients can live longer. And cancer patients arent the only ones who can benefit. Research has found that when patients with chronic pain use _38_therapies and other techniques to deal with
24、 discomfort, they reduced their visits to the doctors by 36%. Relaxation produces better health through deep rhythmic breathing, muscle loosening and a slower heart rate. When some of the pressure is taken out of the body, they entire immune system will _39_much better. Relaxation decreases blood pr

Reading Comprehension Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the
26、context. Why do people go to university? There is a popular notion that a college education is something to be endured in order to become _41_to obtain certain kinds of jobs or to go to graduate school. This is not what we are trying to do at Harvard, nor would we wish to have many students here who
27、 took such a(n)_42_view of a college career. There are several goals we aim to reach in our undergraduate program. The most obvious one is to give knowledgefairly_43_knowldege in one field and a more general knowledge of a variety of other subject areas which you may choose according to your interes
28、t. But if acquiring knowledge is a self-evident part of a college education, it is _44_the most important. Remarkably few of the facts you learn here will remain in your_45_for many years, and some of those that do will even be proved _46_by new knowledge. _47_, we can instill(灌输)certain attitudes o
29、f mind-a willingness to accept uncertainly and the lack of definite truths; independence of mind, and a respect for facts and for the uncomfortable conclusions which facts sometimes lead to. In addition to these _48_qualities, a college education should try to lay a foundation for the creative use o
30、f _49_time. Some of this capacity can be stimulated in the classroomin courses in the humanities and the arts. Yet, at least as much _50_will occur outside the lecture hall-on athletic fields, in music rooms, student theaters, concert hails, and so forth. These are some of the _51_of a liberal colle
31、ge education as I see them. I cannot resist concluding with a few private thoughts about our new careers at Harvard. To begin with, I hope that we will think_52_about what we want to accomplish here. It would be _53_for you to set your sights on some limited goal, such as getting good grades or mere
32、ly getting into one or another graduate school. Second, I hope that you will give some thought to what you can do for others during your stay here. There are many problems waiting for your help, and many people who could _14_your efforts. My final bit of advice. Whatever else we do, let us remember
33、not to take ourselves too seriously. However great our problems may seem, however urgent our complaints, they are overshadowed(黯然失色)by the _55_of countless other people on our planet.41. A. fascinated B. qualified C. determined D. required42. A. optimistic B. strong C. narrow D. sensitive43. A. conc

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fit
37、s best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)The Tide Rises, the Tide FallsBy Henry Wadsworth LongfellowThe tide rises, the tide falls, Along the sea sands damp and brown The traveler hastens toward the town,And the tide rises, the tide falls.Darkness settles on roofs an
38、d walls, But the sea, the sea in the darkness calls; The little waves, with their soft, white hands,Efface the footprints in the sands,And the tide rises, the tide falls. The morning breaks; the steeds in their stallsStamp and neigh, as the hostler calls;The day returns, but never moreReturns the tr
39、aveler to the shore,And the tide rises, the tide falls.56. What is the figurative meaning (寓意)of the title “The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls” indicate? A. the change of the ocean B. the sequence of human history C. the coming and going of travelers D. the eternity of the natural world57. In stanza 1,
40、which line is parallel to “The morning breaks: the steeds in their stalls”? A. The tide rises, the tide falls B. The twilight darkens, the curlew calls C. Alone the sea-sands damp and brown D. The traveler hastens toward the town58. In stanza 2, the word “Efface” in line 4 is the closest to _in mean
41、ing. A. draw B. engrave C. erase D. impress59. In stanza 3, “The day returns, but nevermore; Returns the traveler to the shore”, the poet possibly means _. A. Time hustles; people bustle B. The traveler comes to the town just once C. People will die while time goes on D. If time had feelings, people
42、 would stay(B) Predicting the future is always risky. But its probably safe to say that at least a few historians will one day speak of the 20th century as Americas “Disney ear”. Today, its certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that represents modern America as powerfully as the com
43、pany that created Mickey Mouse. Globally, brands like Coca-Cola and McDonalds may be more widely known, but neither concludes 20th-century America in quite the same way as Disney.The reasons for Disneys success are quite a lot, but ultimately the credit belongs to one person - the man who created th
44、e cartoon and built the company from nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically, he could not draw particularly well. But he was a genius in other aspects. In business, his greatest skills were his insight and his management ability. After setting himself up in Hollywood, he single-handedly pioneered the conc
45、epts of branding and merchandising - something his company still does brilliantly today.But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with his audiences. Disney always made sure that his films championed the little guy, and made him feel proud to be American. This he achieved by c
46、reating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people. Some celebrated American achievements-He achieved this by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people. Some Mickey Mouse, was “inspired by Charles Lindberghs flight across the Atlantic. Others, li
47、ke the There Little Pigs and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, showed how, through hard wok and helping ones fellow man or Americans could survive social and economic crises like the Great Depression.Disneys other great virtue was the fact that his company - unlike other big corporations- had a huma
48、n face. His Hollywood studio - the public heard - operated just like a democracy, where everyone was on first name terms and had a say in how things should be run. He was also regarded as a great patriot because not only did his cartoons praise America, but, during World War II, his studios made tra
49、ining films for American soldiers.The reality, of course, was less idyllic. As the public would later learn, Disneys patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in 1941, he became convinced that Hollywood had been infiltrated by Communists . He agreed to work for the FB1 as a mo
50、le, identifying and spying on colleagues whom he suspected were subversives.But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less the genuine article. A new book, The Magic Kingdom: Walt Disney and the American Way of Life, by Steven Watts, confirms that he was very definitely on th
51、e side of ordinary Americansin the 30s and 40s he voted for Franklin Roosevelt, believing he was a champion of the workers. Also, Disney was not an apologist for the FBI, as some have suggested. In fact, he was always suspicious of large, bureaucratic organizations, as is evidenced in films like Tha
52、t Darned Cat, in which he portrayed FB1 agents as bungling incompetents.By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was as icon like Thomas Edison and the Wright Brothers. To business people and filmmakers, he was a role model; to the public at large, he was Uncle Walt - the man who had entertained the
53、m all their lives, the man who represented them all their lives, the man who represented all that was good about America.60. Walt Disney is believed to possess the following abilities EXCEPT_. A . painting B. creativity C. management D. merchandising61. According to the passage, what was the pleasan
54、t side of Disneys patriotism? A. He sided with ordinary Americans in his films B. He supported Arnorlcas was efforts in his own way C. He had doubts about large, bureaucratic organizations D. He voted for Franklin Roosevelt in the 30s and 40s62. In the sixth paragraph the sentence “Disney was more o
55、r lets the genuine article” means that _. A. Disney was a creative and capable person B. Disney once agreed to work for the FB1 C. Disney ran his company in a democratic way D. Disney was sympathetic with ordinary people(C) For most thinkers since the Greek philosophers, it was self-evident that the
56、re is something called human nature, something that constitutes the essence of man. There were various views about what constitutes it, but there was agreement that such an essence exists-that is to say, that there is something by virtue of which man is man. Thus man was defined as a rational being,
57、 as a social animal, an animal that can make tools, or a symbol-making animal.More recently, this traditional view has begun to be questioned. One reason for this change was the increasing emphasis given to the historical approach to man. An examination of the history of humanity suggested that man
58、in our time is so different from man in previous times that it seemed unrealistic to assume that men in every age have had in common something that can be called “human nature.” The historical approach was reinforced, particularly in the United States, by studies in the field of cultural anthropolog
59、y (人类学). The study of primitive peoples has discovered such a diversity of customs, values, feelings, and thoughts that many anthropologists arrived at the concept that man is born as a blank sheet of paper on which each culture writes its text. Another factor contributing to the tendency to deny th
60、e assumption of a fixed human nature was that the concept has so often been abused as a shield behind which the most inhuman acts are committed. In the name of human nature, for example, Aristotle and most thinkers up to the eighteenth century defended slavery. Or in order to prove the rationality a
61、nd necessity of the capitalist form of society, scholars have tried to make a case for acquisitiveness, competitiveness, and selfishness as natural human characters. Popularly, one refers cynically to “human nature” in accepting the inevitability of such undesirable human behavior as greed, murder,
62、cheating and lying.Another reason for skepticism about the concept of human nature probably lies in the influence of evolutionary thinking. Once man came to be seen as developing in the process of evolution, the idea of a substance which is contained in his essence seemed untenable. Yet I believe it
63、 is precisely from an evolutionary standpoint that we can expect new insight into the problem of the nature of man.63. Most philosophers believed that human nature _.A. is the quality distinguishing man from other animalsB. consists of competitiveness and selfishnessC. is something partly innate and
64、 partly acquiredD. consists of rationality and undesirable behavior64. The traditional view of “human nature” was strongly challenged by _.A. the emergence of the evolutionary theoryB. the historical approach to manC. new insight into human behaviorD. the philosophical analysis of slavery65. The aut

66、ort the idea that some human characters are inherited.66. According to the passage, anthropologists believe that human beings _.A. have some characters in commonB. are born with diverse culturesC. are born without a fixed natureD. change their characters as they grow upSection CDirections: Complete

Use your own words as far as possible.Rocks Tell TimeEarths surface is constantly changing, and its rocks are evidence of past geol
76、ogic events. The age of rocks can be determined in various ways. By using relative-dating principles and noting the position of layers within a rock, it is also possible to reconstruct the sequence(顺序)of geologic events that have occurred at a site.One way scientists do this is by using the principl
77、e of uniformitarianism, which states that the processes affecting the earth today are the same ones that affected it in the past. For example, at an active volcano, today, lava can be observed to cool and form layers of basalt(玄武岩). Therefore, any time one sees layers of basalt, it can be assumed th
78、at they likely formed from lava cooling after a volcanic eruption.Second, the principle of original horizontality states that most sedimentary(由沉淀物所生成的)rock is deposited in a horizontal position, which means they form layers. The principle of superposition can be used to interpret the relative ages
79、of these layers: In a sequence of undisturbed sedimentary layers or lava flows, the oldest layers are at the bottom. These principles allow scientists to determine the relative age of a rock compared with another rock. They can also compare the ages of rock layers in different areas. This type of co
80、mparison has enabled them to create a list of earths rock layers from youngest to oldest, called a geologic column.Another way to test a rocks age is by using radioactivity. Radioactive parts of elements in rocks decay into other elements at a constant pace called a half-life. By comparing the amoun
81、t of the originai element with the amount present today, scientists can come up with an absolute age for a rock. These ages are compiled into a history of earth. Long stretches of time on earth are called eras. Earths rock history includes the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras.The scientists wh
82、o interpret the stories told by rocks are called structural geologists and stratigraphers(地层学家). Structural geologists carefully observe and interpret layer of rock. They study the way in which the earths crust is deformed by mountain-building processes. They also study clues at the earths surface t
83、hat reveal the underlying structure and geologic history of an area. Stratigaphers compare vertical sequences of rock layers form different areas to piece together the geologic history of a region.71._第II卷V.
