Foxes and farmers have never got on well.
These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals.
They are officially classified as 41 and farmers try to keep their numbers
down by shooting or poisoning them.
Farmers can also call 42 the services of their local hunt to
control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the
countryside, with a group of 43 trained dogs, followed by men and women
riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter
shoots it.
People who take part in hunting think of it
as a sport; they were a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and 44 strict codes of behavior. But owning a
horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.
It is 45 that up to 100,000 people watch or take
part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people
opposing 46 fox hunting, because they think it is
brutal（残酷的）, has risen sharply. Nowadays it
is 47 for a hunt to pass off without some kind
of confrontation（冲突）between hunters and hunt saboteurs（阻拦者）. Sometimes these incidents
48 to violence, but mostly saboteurs
interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the 49 of the fox’s smell, which the dogs
follow.

IV.Reading
Comprehension (35 points)
Directions:
Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by five questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C
and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the
passage you have just read.
(A)
You either have it, or you don’t—a sense of direction, that is. But why
is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map,
while others can lose themselves in the next street?
Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not
properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense
of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried
out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t
use is, we lose it.
“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,”
says Jim Martland, Research Director of the project. “However, if they are not
allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the
skills.”
Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain
skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:
●If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.
●If you leave your bike in a
strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks
on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the
same route.
●Simplify the way of finding
your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in
the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you
have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help
to find out where you are.
Now you need never get lost
again!
65.
Scientists believe that_______.
A. some babies are born with a
sense of direction.
B. people learn a sense of
direction as they grow older
C. people never lose their sense
of direction
D. everybody possesses a sense
of direction from birth
66.
What is true of seven-year-old children according to the passage?
A. They never have a sense of
direction without maps
B. They should never be allowed
out alone if they lack a sense of direction
C. They have a sense of direction
and can find their way around
D. They can develop a good sense
of direction if they are driven around in a car.
67.
If you leave your bike in a strange place, you should ________.
A. tie it to a tree so as to
prevent it from being stolen
B. draw a map of the route to help
remember where it is
C. avoid taking the same route
when you come back to it
D. remember something easily
recognizable on the route
68.
According to the passage, the best way to find your way around is to ________.
A. ask policemen for directions.
B. use walls, streams, and streets
to guide yourself
C. remember your route by looking
out for steps and stairs
D. count the number of landmarks
that you see
(B)
Nervous suspects (嫌疑犯) locked up in Britains newest police
station may feel relieved by a pleasant yellow colour on the door. If they are
close to confessing a crime, the blue on the wall might tip the balance.
Gwent Police have abandoned
colours such as grays and browns of the 20th-century police cell (牢房) and have used colour psychology to decorate
them.
Ystrad Mynach station, which
recently opened at a cost of ￡5
million, has four cells with glass doors for prisoners who suffer from
claustrophobia(幽闭恐怖症). Designers have painted the
frames yellow, which researchers say is a calming colour. Other cells contain a
royal blue line because psychologists believe that the colour is likely to
encourage truthfulness.
The station has 31 cells,
including 12 with a “live scan” system for drunken or disturbed prisoners,
which detects the rise and fall of their chest. An alarm alerts officers if a
prisoners breathing stops and carries on ringing until the door is opened.
Designers and psychologists
have worked for years on colour. Blue is said to suggest trust, efficiency,
duty, logic, coolness, thinking and calm. It also suggests coldness and
unfriendliness. It is thought that strong blues will stimulate clear thought
and lighter, soft colours will calm the mind and aid concentration.
Yellow is linked with
confidence, self-respect and friendliness. Get the colour wrong and it could
cause fear, depression and anxiety, but the right yellow can lift spirits and
self-respect.
Ingrid Collins, a
psychologist who specializes in the effects of colour, said that colour was an
“energy force”. She said: “Blue does enhance communication but I am not sure it
would enhance truthful communication.”
Yellow, she said, affected
the mind. Red, on the other hand, should never be considered because it could
increase aggression. Mrs Collins praised the designers for using colours in the
cells. Gwent is not the first British force to experiment with colour to calm
down or persuade prisoners to co-operate. In the 1990s Strathclyde Police used
pink in cells based on research carried out by the US Navy.
69. The
expression “tip the balance” in paragraph 1 probably indicates that the
blue might _____.
A. let suspects keep their balance B.
help suspects to confess their crimes
C. make suspects cold and
unfriendly in law court D.
enable suspects to change their attitudes to colours
70. Which
of the following colours should NOT be used in cells according to me passage?
A. Pink. B.
Yellow C.
Blue. D. Red.
71. Which
of the following helps alert officers if someone stops breathing?
A. Scanning equipment. B. Royal blue lines. C. Glass doors. D.Yellow frames.
72. The
passage is mainly concerned with _____.
A. the relationship between
colours and psychology
B. a comparison of different
functions of colours
C. the use of colours in cells to
affect criminals’ psychology
D. scientific ways to help
criminals reform themselves in prison
（C）
73. The
word “talion” in introducing the book Eye for an Eye is probably
a concept of ______.
A. medicine B.
trade C.
avenging D.
striving
74. The
book entitled A History of Modern Indonesia has focus on _______.
A. 1andscapes and tourist

detail. B.
They all have a hard back and a paperback.
C. Each of them is commented by a

They are published by the same publishing house.
(D)
The “Bystander Apathy
Effect” was first studied by researchers in New York after neighbours
ignored—and in some cases turned up the volume on their TVs—the cries of a
woman as she was murdered (over a half-hour period). With regard to helping
those in difficulty generally, they found that:
(1) women
are helped more than men;
(2) men
help more than women;
(3)
attractive women are helped more than unattractive women.
Other factors relate to the
number of people in the area, whether the person is thought to be in trouble
through their own fault, and whether a person sees himself as being able to
help.
According to Adrian Furnham,
Professor 0f University College, London, there are three reasons why we tend to
stand by doing nothing:
(1)
“Shifting of responsibility”－the
more people there are, the less likely help is to be given. Each person excuses
himself by thinking someone else will help, so that the more “other people’
there are, the greater the total shifting of responsibility.
(2)
“Fear of making a mistake’－situations
are often not clear. People think that those involved in an accident may know
each other or it may be a joke, so a fear of embarrassment makes them keep
themselves to themselves.
(3) “Fear
of the consequences if attention is turned on you, and the person is violent.”
Laurie Taylor, Professor of
Sociology at London University, says: “In the experiments I’ve seen on
intervention (介入), much depends on the
neighborhood or setting. There is a silence on public transport which is hard
to break. We are embarrassed to draw attention to something that is happening,
while in a football match, people get involved, and a fight would easily follow.
”
Psychotherapist Alan Dupuy
identifies the importance of the individual: “The British as a whole have some
difficulty intervening, but there are exceptional individuals in every group
who are prepared to intervene, regardless of their own safety: These would be
people with a strong moral code or religious ideals.”
76. Which
of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Pretty women are more likely to
be helped. B. People on
a bus are more likely to stop a crime.
C. Religious people are more
likely to look on. D.
Criminals are more likely to harm women.
77. Which
factor is NOT related with intervention according to the passage?
A. Sex. B.
Nationality. C.
Profession. D.
Setting.
78. Which
phenomenon can be described as the “Bystander Apathy Effect”?
A. When one is in trouble, people
think it’s his own fault.
B. In a football match, people get
involved in a fight.
C. Seeing a murder, people feel
sorry that it should have happened.
D. On hearing a cry for help,
people keep themselves to themselves.
79. The
author wrote this article ______.
A. to explain why bystanders
behave as they do B.
to urge people to stand out when in need
C. to criticize the selfishness of
bystanders D.
to analyze the weakness of human nature
E)
Directions:
Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each
paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
A. Goods for auction sales
B. Definition of bidding
C. Way to sell more goods by auction
D. Auction sales in history
E. Brief introduction to auctions
F. Making a larger profit as an auctioneer
80.
Auctions are public sales of
goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He asks the crowd
assembled in the auction-room to make offers, or “bids”, for the various items
on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the
highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down” the
goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer strikes a small hammer on a
table at which he stands.
81.
The ancient Roman probably
invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin auction,
meaning “increasing”. The Romans usually sold in this way the goods taken in
war. In England in the eighteenth centuries, goods were often sold “by the
candle”: a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while
it stayed alight.
82.
Practically all goods whose
qualities vary are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea,
furs, silk and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property.
Furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and similar works of art.
83
An auction is usually
advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and
where and when they can be viewed by potential buyers. If the advertisement
cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be
sold together, called a “lot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need
not begin with Lot 1 and continue in the order of numbers: he may wait until he
notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots
they are likely to be interested in.
84.
The auctioneer’s services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the
price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in
pushing up the bidding as high as possible. He will not waste time by starting
the bidding too low. He will also play on the opponents among his buyers and
succeed in getting a high price by encouraging two business competitors to bid
against each other.
