For this reason I went to my aunt, who they live 22 and asked her to give me all the old 23 of them that she could find.

Many young people queue up to ride very fast and scary roller coasters, screaming but enjoying themselves. Other people like to read goose bumps (鸡皮疙瘩) books or watch horror movies at night, s
16、cared to death but feeling excited. Why do people like being scared? Fear is an ancient way of surviving. Being scared makes animals, including humans escape from danger and save themselves. It is because of fear that we have lived through millions of years of evolution. Those who lacked a strong fe
17、ar response were more likely to be killed, leaving the more fearful and careful to pass their genes onto the next generation. How do scientists explain why shaking over such scary things is fun? Some kids will go to a scary movie and love it and laugh over it, others will feel anxious and hide their
18、 faces and some wont even set foot in the cinema, said Ned Kalin, a US scientist. Which kind of person you are depends partly on experiences youve had and partly on your genes. What happens in the brain when something frightens you? Nerves that begin at the eyes and ears lead to a part of the brain
19、called the amygdale. When you suddenly see a snake, for example, the amygdale makes you freeze, sweat, have a quickened heartbeat, or run very fast. However, seeing the snake also uses another part of the brain, the cortex. It analyzes the situation, and if it finds that the snake is only made of ru
20、bber it tells your heart and the rest of your body to calm down. Think of the amygdale as the engine and the cortex as the brake. Back to the first question: Why do some people like to make themselves scared? One reason is that we can play games with fear, find ways to reduce the scariness by lookin
21、g away or thinking of something else, Kalin said. To believe we have control over a situation gives us a feeling of power. Scary movies or novels are good practice to prepare young people for the real thing. Thrills such as roller coaster rides also go to the brains pleasure centre. And there might
22、be some evolutionary advantage to being able to adjust this system that isthere to protect people.36. Some people like to be scared because _. A. they are afraid that the fear genes will be passed onto their children B. its a good practice to get prepared for the real frightening situation C. it can
23、 help them show their own personalities D. they will feel powerful after getting rid of fear37. Which of the following is true about the people who are not easily scared? A. Their cortex is better at analyzing the situations. B. They are more likely to suffer from potential danger. C. They are born
24、unaffected by anything horrible. D. They lack a strong response towards threat.38. What is the best title of the passage? A. Ready to scream? B. How to be scared? C. Willing to shake? D. Why to be scared?BBeauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive pe
25、ople are happier and healthier, have better marriages and more respectable jobs. Personal advisor give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants, but in the executive(行政) circle, beauty can become a liability. While attractiveness is a positive factor for a
26、 man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plainer ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to
27、 be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes. Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attrac
28、tive woman is considered to be more womanly and an attractive man more manly than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the manly qualities required. This is true ev
29、en in politics. When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently, says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of
30、women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told what the photographs were of. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them. The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably
31、received the fewest votes.39. According to the passage, attractive people are those who are _. A. good-looking B. humorous C. well-educated D. capable40. The author of the passage intended to show us that peoples views on beauty are _. A. out-of-date B. practical C. reasonable D. one-sided 41. Which
32、 is TRUE according to the passage? A. Appearance is important in finding a good job. B. Attractiveness is of great advantage to his or her success. C. Attractiveness is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women when it comes to politics. D. Attractiveness has more effect on men than on women
33、.42. In traditional female jobs, attractiveness _. A. strengthens the womanly qualities required B. always makes it easier for women to succeed quickly C. makes women look more honest and capable D. can be a liabilityC Dear College Dean, It is my understanding that this college has received a large
34、donation to be used to enhance (improve) the quality of life for students: expand the bookstore or add computers to the computer lab. It is the tradition of this school to promote education and to be the pioneer of new technology. That is why I strongly argue in favor of the addition of more compute
35、rs to the computer lab.Although expanding the campus bookstore to include CDs, gifts, and a snack bar will give a nicer look to the college, we have to think about a greater goal and a more practical way to enhance the quality of life for students. What do we want for our students and our college? D
36、o we want our college to be known as a place with a great bookstore where you can find CDs and gifts, or as a place where the students can explore and research in their field using the best tools provided by technology? In addition, there are already several snack bars on campus, and there are music
37、 stores nearby, so students do not depend on the college bookstore for these things. We live in a highly technological world and computers play an increasingly important role in how we live. As a learning institution, this college has the responsibility to offer its students the best technology to h
38、elp them prepare for their future. Many students will be expected to be familiar with the latest software and other tools when they go on to work or to graduate school.While they are in college, students find they are expected to use computers. Many professors expect students to use computers to do
39、homework or to complete projects. Since students are competing for good grades, those who have limited access to computers are at a great disadvantage. Furthermore, being able to do projects using the computer enhances the process of learning.If there are more computers, no more will students have t
40、o wait in line while scanning the room for an empty chair and computer. No longer will they have to sit and wait while an outdated computer struggles to follow their commands. Having more new and faster computers available will enable students to finish their work more quickly. The more computers ar
41、e used in society, the more colleges will depend on them as a tool of teaching and learning. Making computers more available to students facilitates their learning process by making the process easier, more interesting, more engaging, and in the process enhancing their quality of life. 43. The purpo
42、se of the author in writing the passage is _. A. to describe the problems caused by lack of computersB. to explain why students are in great need of computers C. to tell us what benefits students can gain from computers D. to persuade the Dean to purchase more advanced computers44. From the passage
43、we can infer that _. A. present computers in the college cannot meet the demands of the students B. computers in the college will be updated to meet the students demands soon C. the college has the responsibility to help the students to prepare for their future D. it is also necessary to expand the
44、college bookstore by using part of the donation45. In paragraph 4, the author mainly wants to tell us that _. A. computers are beneficial to students academic success B. computers are helpful to students competition for success C. students find it convenient to do assignments by using computers D. s
45、tudents wish to use the money to buy more advanced computers 46. Which of the following shows the organization of the passage? CPP1P3SP1SP2CP2CPP1P3SP1SP2CP2 A. B. P2CPP 1P 4CP3CPP 1SP2CP 3P 2SP1 C. D. CP: Central Point P: Point SP: Sub-point(次要点) C: ConclusionDA recent study, while showing a genera
46、lly positive attitude toward science, also suggests a widespread worry that it may be running out of control. This idea is dangerous.Science can be a force for evil as well as for good. Its applications can be channeled either way, depending on our decisions. The decisions we make, personally or col
47、lectively, will determine the outcomes of science. But here is a real danger. Science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. And, rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we
48、 may step back and do nothing.Some people go even further. They say that despite the moral and legal objections(反对),whatever is scientifically possible will be done-somewhere, sometime. They believe that science will get out of control in the end. This belief is dangerous too, because it fuels a sen
49、se of hopelessness and discourages then from making efforts to build a safer world.In our interconnected world, the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science. Without a common understanding, the challenges of “controlling science in th
50、is century will be really tough. Take human cloning for example. Despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge impact(影响)on traditional moral values, some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques. The outcomes are hard to predict.Ther
51、efore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. Only through the unties efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future.47. What can we conclude from the recent study?A.
52、People think highly of science. B. People hold mixed opinions about science.C. Science is getting dangerously out of control.D. Science is used for both good and bad purposes.48.According to the passage, what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control?A. The development of science
53、 will hopelessly slow down.B. Businesses will have even greater influence on science.C. The public will lose faith in bringing about a bright future.D. People will work more actively to put science under control.49. The discussion should reach beyond scientific societies because_A. scientists have f
54、ails to predict the outcomesB. the ties between different areas need strengtheningC. united efforts are necessary for the development of scienceD. people need to work together to prevent the bad use of science50. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Science and its applications bring us many dang
55、ers.B. The development of science mostly lies in peoples attitudes.C. Mankind can largely take control of science with their efforts.D. The future of science will be influenced by the dangerous ideas.第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。As you grow rapidly through your teen
