For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Shee

27、t.Passage One Whats the best way to protect a tender, green seedling from the hungry stomach of deer? Give the seedling bad breath! The same chemical that gives people bad breath after they have eaten garlic can save small trees from being eaten by animals. A kind of chemical selenium(硒), which is a

28、lso found in garlic, is planted in the soil near a young tree. The trees roots absorb the selenium which is then carried to the leaves. From there the selenium is used to form a chemical called dimethyl selenide (乙烷硒化物)the same chemical made in the human mouth after eating garlic. As deer wander aro

29、und looking for food, they smell the seedlings leaves and leave the plants alone. The selenium is important. Why? Because each year deer eat millions of dollars worth of trees farm seedlings. So far, selenium has been tested only on Douglas fir (枞树) seedlings, but researchers think they could protec

30、t fruit trees and garden plants, too. 61. When people eat garlic, _. A. they send out a horrible smell B. they are out of breath C. they will feel sick D. it is hard for them to breathe 62. According to this passage the bad smell given off from those leaves is that of _.the young trees absorb garlic

31、 the roots of the young trees smell like garlic the young trees arent fit for the deer to eat the leaves of the young trees smell like garlic 64. Up till the time the news was announced, this kind of chemical was used _. A. all over the world B. all over the United States C. on fruit trees and garde

32、n trees D. on Douglas fir young trees 65. The best title of this passage is _. A. Hungry Deer and Young Trees B. Why Dont Deer Eat Young Fruit Trees C. Plants Saved by “Bad Breath” D. How to Protect Young Trees Passage Two Hair loss is one of those things we still do not understand. Science has, of

33、course, shown that men are more likely than women to suffer major hair loss. Some kinds of hair loss are temporary (暂时 的), an effect of illness. In those cases we can expect the hair to grow back. It all depends on whether the hair root is alive. If it is not, hair loss is permanent and nothing will

34、 help. Some daily loss of hair is a normal, healthy sign. Most people lose between 40 to 50 scalp hairs each day. Each of these scalp hairs grows for from two to six years and then rests. About three months later it is pushed out by a new hair growing from the same root. This is not something that s

35、hould cause great concern. Something else we know is that normal hair loss is seasonal, with the most hair loss occurring in the fall. Everyone experiences a normal cycle of loss and growth. The problem of hair loss results when loss is greater than growth. The main cause of hair loss in men seems t

36、o be accumulation (积累) of a hormone (荷尔蒙) in the body. When that hormone reaches a certain level, the hair growing period is shortened and hair loss is the result. This is no cure for most cases of hair loss. This, however, is not the end of the world.66. According to science, _. hair loss is a norm

37、al, healthy sign man should pay special attention to hair loss its likely that men have more problems of hair loss men lose more hair than women do 67. The writer thinks _. illness causes hair loss human beings have no way to cure hair loss hair loss happening in the fall is an effect of illness hai

38、r loss is permanent 68. We now know that the most hair loss happening in the autumn is _. A. permanent B. healthy sign C. seasonal D. nothing serious 69. The sentence “This, however, is not the end of the world” means _.man is sure to find the best way of curing his hair loss in the future the write

39、r believes the earth exists for ever we cant destroy the world by any means the last day will never come to our people 70. The best title for the passage may be _. A. Loss or Growth B. Hair Loss C. Healthy Sign D. Change with SeasonsPassage Three On the morning of November 18,1755, an earthquake sho

40、ok Boston, Massachusetts. John Winthrop, a professor at Harvard College, felt the quake and awoke. “I rose,” Winthrop wrote, “and lighting a candle, looked on my watch, and found it was 15 minutes after four.” John Winthrop went downstairs to the grandfather clock. It had stopped four minutes before

41、, at 4:11. Except for stopping the clock, the quake had only thrown a key from the mantel (壁炉台) to the floor. The clock had stopped because Winthrop had put some long glass tubes he was using for an experiment into the case for care. The quake had knocked the tubes over and blocked the pendulum (钟摆)

42、. Winthrop, therefore, had the exact time that the earthquake had hit Boston. He looked at the key on the floor. The quake had thrown it forward in the direction of the quakes motion (运动) by a shock coming from the northwest, perhaps in Canada. 71. The text proves that _. the power of nature is terr

47、aphy has been defined as “The application of all sciences to the study of the sea”. Before the nineteenth century scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant to go to sea to further

48、his work. For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question “What is at the bottom of the oceans?” had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cab
