It’s an age-old saying: Men are from Mars; women
are from Venus. Males and females 36 different behaviors
almost 37 birth. Researchers say these behaviors are due to 38
differences in brain structure and activity. Studies show men are
better at hitting targets （靶子）and solving math problems 39 women
are better at memorizing words and 40 faces. Why the
differences?
A test of the brain’s electrical activity （EEG）shows
that women 41 use both sides of their brain while men rely
more on one. Scientists 42 know that the two sides of the
brain control different functions —one controlling the sense of space, 43 ,
the other controlling 44 . Some researchers 45 that
the different ways men and women use their brains 46 from
ancient times, when cave men hunted and women 47 the
children. Men had to have good 48 . Women had to talk to the kids.

sexes 50 . And although their brains are constructed slightly
differently, men and women may be 51 capable. They may
simply 52 different abilities. Take a couple arguing over

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
While the rest of the world carried on cycling
during the 1950 s and 1960 s, America forgot how; even high—school children
would drive to school. Recently there has been something of a renaissance （复兴）in
cycling, and in many areas it is a very useful way of getting around,
especially where bike paths or bike routes have been built. You may well want
to buy, hire or borrow a bike.
There are two important consequences （后果）of
this earlier drop in cycling in the USA. One is that many people do not know
how to cycle. That is, cyclists often behave more like pedestrians （行人）than
motorists :they ride on the sidewalk or on the wrong side of the road; they do
not care for stop signs or traffic lights; they ride without lights at night;
they give no hand signals. The other consequence is that cycling is regarded by
many people not so much as a way of getting from one place to another but as a
way of life, a form of exercise, etc. As a result, large number of young
Americans have ten-speed racing bikes. These are very high and fast and great
if you are cycling long distances, riding up mountains or racing. At first, though,
you may find them awkward for cycling in town, sight-seeing or shopping—they
are expensive, uncomfortable and hard to control until you get used to them,
and unsuitable for rough stony roads.
There are also ordinary bikes around. If you get
hold of one of these, you may find that the brakes work by pedaling（踩踏板）backwards.
This is perhaps safer than ordinary brakes when it is wet, but it seems to be
less effective. This arrangement also means you can’t pedal backwards in order
to get the pedals in the right place for getting on or moving off.
56. The passage gives us a brief introduction to .
A. advantages of bikes
B. cycling in America
C. American
transportation
D. how to ride a bike
57. Young Americans prefer racing bikes because they .
A. can help keep fit
B. are easy to learn
C. are safer to ride
D. are expensive and popular
58. Which of the following does NOT result from the early
drop in cycling in the USA?
A. Cyclists do not
care for traffic lights
B. People ride on the
wrong side of the roads
C. Cycling is not
considered a way of transportation
D. People have to
pedal backwards to stop the bike
59. From the passage we can learn that in the middle of the
20 th century .
A. many Americans
enjoyed cycling
B. cycling was popular
in the world
C. racing bikes were
better than ordinary ones
D. there were no
special roads for bikes in America
If Catlin was the painter of the American
Indians and Bierstadt the portrayer （painter）of
the Rocky Mountains, the artist of the Western cowboys and settlers was
Remington. Born in New York, the son of a wealthy publisher, Remington was a
boxer and a football player at Yale University—the last man would expect to
become the artist of the Old West. But as a boy he loved horses and fed on the
journals of some famous writers.
At the age of nineteen, he left college to
look for adventures. He traveled from Montana to Texas as a prospector （勘探者）.
Remington had always been interested in journalism. Now he began to write about
and to paint and draw what he saw. The subject of the “Winning of the West
”attracted the East. Magazines and newspapers were filled with account of
prospectors’ adventures, and of battles with cattle thieves and other
outlaws—all the tales that were then news and have since become legends. There
were also stories by many other writers. Often these were presented by drawings
and paintings from Remington’s hand, but it was as a successful journalist that
Remington was a great artist.
60. In his pictures, Remington often painted .
A. the prospectors’
stories
B. mountains and rivers
C. horse
races
D. American Indians
61. From the text, we can learn that Remington based his
art on the .
A. stories he had read
in the newspaper
B. things he had seen
and experienced
C. ideas he had
learned at Yale University
D. paintings he had
copied from early settlers
62. During his youth, Remington .
A. showed his gift as
an
artist
B. was influenced by his father
C. enjoyed sports and
reading
D.
learned journalism at Yale University
63. The paragraphs before this passage most probably
discussed .
A. cowboys in American
art history B. works of Catlin and
Bierstadt
C. the problem of
“Winning the West” D. magazines about the west
A person, like a commodity（商品）,
needs packaging. But going too far is absolutely undesirable. A little
exaggeration, however, does no harm when it shows the person’s unique qualities
to their advantages. To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural
way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself. A skilled
packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment （装饰）,
so that the person so packaged is not a commodity but a human being, lively and
lovely.
A young person, especially a female, shining
with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted by God. Any attempt to
make up would be self-defeating. Youth, however, comes and goes in a flash.
Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If
you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering
work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and
grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has
been, through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should.
You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self –satisfied stage
of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need
to make use of hair dyeing. The snow-capped mountain is itself a beautiful
scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with
natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony （和谐）with nature, for
harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in
unpleasantness. To be in the elder’s company is like reading a thick book of
deluxe (better quality) edition that attracts one so much as to be unwilling to
part with .
As long as one finds where one stands, one knows
how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right
packaging.
64. It can concluded from the text that .
A. people should be
packed at all ages B. people should be packed in a special way
C. elderly people also
care about packing
D. proper packing makes people attractive
65. According to the author, if you want to keep in harmony
with nature, you should
A. dye your
hair
B. make up at a young age
C. follow the ageing
process
D. give up fame and wealth
66. For the middle –aged, attractiveness
.
A. hardly
exists
B. is the strongest
C. comes from the
inside
D. comes from the appearance
67. The underlined sentence means that elderly people
A. are usually packed
like a finely-made book
B. experience a lot
and have rich knowledge of life
C. do a lot of
traveling and can give you much information
D. enjoy reading thick
books of beautiful nature and fairylands
With only about 1, 000 pandas left in the world,
China is desperately trying to clone （克隆）the animal and save
the endangered species （物种）. That’s a move similar to what a Texas A &
M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a
project called “Noah’s Ark. ”
Noah’s Ark is aimed at collecting eggs,
embryos（胚胎）, semen and DNA of endangered animals and
storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr.
Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & M’s College of Veterinary Medicine,
says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species
in the future.
It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species
of mammals, birds reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years. The panda,
native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.
This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an
embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a
Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host
animal.
The entire procedure could take from three to
five years to complete.
“The nuclear transfer （核子移植）of
one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available （capable
of being used ）panda eggs could be a major problem, ”Kraemer believes.
“They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one
pregnancy （having a baby）. It takes a long time and it’s difficult, but
this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not
putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort, ”adds Kraemer, who
it one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A& M, the first-ever attempt
at cloning a dog.
“They are trying to do something that’s never
been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah’s Ark. We’re both
trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their
effort and there’s a lot we can learn form what they are attempting to do. It’s
a research that is very much needed. ”
68. The aim of “Noah’s Ark”project is to .
A. make efforts to
clone the endangered pandas
B. save endangered
animals from dying out
C. collect DNA of
endangered animals to study
D. transfer the
nuclear of one animal to another
69. According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in
cloning pandas would be the lack to .
A. available panda
eggs
B. host animals
C. qualified
researchers
D. enough money
70. The best title for the passage may be .
A. China’s Success in
Pandas Cloning
B. The First Cloned
Panda in the World
C. Exploring the
Possibility to Clone Pandas
D. China —the Native
Place of Pandas Forever
71. From the passage we know that .
A. Kraemer and his
team have succeeded in cloning a dog
B. scientists try to
implant a panda’s egg into a rabbit
C. Kraemer will work
with Chinese scientists in clone researches
D. about two thousand
of species will probably die out in a century
Want a glance of the future of health care?
Take a look at the way the various networks of people about patient care are
being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being
exploited to deliver medicine to the patient —no matter where he or she may be.
Online doctors offering advice based on normal
symptoms （症状）are the most obvious example. Increasingly,
however, remote diagnosis （远程诊断）will be based on real physiological data （生理数据）from
the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by
using personal data assistance plus a mobile phone, it is perfectly practical
to send a patient’s important signs over the telephone. With this kind of
equipment, the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be
a thing of the past.
Other medical technology groups are working on
applying telemedicine to rural （countryside）care. And at least
one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster need—especially after
earthquakes. On the whole, the trend is towards providing global access to
medical data and experts’ opinions.
But there is one problem. Bandwidth （宽带）is
the limiting factor for sending complex （复杂）medical pictures
around the world, —CT photos being one of the biggest bandwidth users.
Communication satellites may be able to deal with the short-term needs during
disasters such as earthquakes or wars. But medicine is looking towards both the
second-generation Internet and third-generation mobile phones for the future of
remote medical service.
Doctors have met to discuss computer-based
tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price
of broadband communications, the new technologies should start a new time when
telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, experts’ opinions and
diagnosis are common.
72. The writer chiefly talks about .
A. the use of
telemedicine
B. the on-lined doctors
C. medical care and
treatment
D. communication improvement
73. The basis of remote diagnosis will be .
A. personal data
assistance B. some words of a patient
C. real physiological
information
D. medical pictures from the Internet
74. Which of the following statements is true according to
the text ？
A. Patients don’t need
doctors in hospitals any more
B. It is impossible to
send a patient’s signs over the telephone
C. Many teams use
telemedicine dealing with disasters now
D. Broadband
communications with become cheaper in the future
75. The “problem”in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact
that .
A. bandwidth isn’t big
enough to send complex medical pictures
B. the
second-generation of Internet has not become popular yet
C. communication
satellites can only deal with short-term needs
D. there is not enough
equipment for spreading the medical care
