16、分）AHow much living space does a person need? What happens when his space requirements are not adequately met? Sociologists（社會學(xué)家） and psychologists（心理學(xué)家） are conducting experiments on rats to try to determine the effects of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behavior of

17、 rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have adequate living space, they eat well, sleep well, and reproduce well. However, if their living conditions become too crowded, their behavior patterns and even their health perceptibly （顯然地）change. They cannot sleep and eat well, and signs of fear and

18、tension become obvious. The more crowded they are, the more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus for rats, population and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is adequate（適當(dāng)?shù)模?space not only desirable, but essential for human survival

19、?56. What is the purpose of the experiments described in the passage?A. To determine how much living space a rat needs.B. To see what happens when rats live in a limited space.C. To know the likely effects of inadequate living space on human beings.D. to find out the relationship between population

20、and living conditions.57. Which is NOT a result of being too crowded for rats?A.They become nervous. B. they show signs of fear.C.They eat less. D. They become less active.58.

B. birth control is essential for a better lifeC. efforts should be made to improve living conditionsD. rats are not social animalsBWASHINGTON: C

But people in the Australian outback cant get to a doctor quickly. The nearest doctor is so

30、metimes hundreds of kilometers away so they have to call him on a two-way radio. This special doctor is called the “flying doctor”. He visits sick people by plane. When someone is very sick, the doctor has to fly to the persons home. His plane lands on a flat piece of ground near the persons house.

31、Sometimes the doctor has to take the patient to hospital. Flying doctors take about 8,600 people to hospital each year. However, most of the time the person isnt very sick, and the doctor doesnt have to visit. He can give advice on the radio from the office at the flying doctor center. He can tell t

32、he patient to use some medicine from a special medicine chest (箱子). There is one of these chests in every home in the outback. Each bottle, tube （管子） and packet （包） in the chest has a number. The doctor often says something like this,“take two tablets （藥片） from bottle 5 every four hours.”63. Some pe

36、d girls are learning foreign languages. Many grown-ups are doing so in their spare time. Everybody knows his own language, but to know another is very useful.Which is the best way to learn a language? We should remember what we all learnt our own language well when we were children. If we could lear

37、n a second language in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. Think of what a child does. It listens to what people say and it tries to imitate(模仿) what it heard. When it wants something, it has to ask for it. It is using the language. It is talking in it and thinking in it all the time, they

38、 would learn it quickly.It is important to remember, also, that we learn our own language by hearing people speak it not by seeing what they write. We imitate what we hear.

39、Of course, you must listen to them, spell them, and write them, too.There is no easy way to success in language learning.

40、tudying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language.

44、s everything” is a piece of good advice for language learning.DIt is not much use studying the dictionary.E When a friend is sad about a tragedy, its hard to know how to comfort him/her.

This helps us decide what to wear. 76 we want our food to be a certain coldness in the

53、refrigerator( 冰箱 ). We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we dont feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.Not all the thermometers use the same system called the Fahrenheit scale(華氏溫度計), b

54、ut most other countries use the centigrade scale(攝氏溫度計).Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide. 77 The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury (水銀) inside a clear glass tube. As mercury ( or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts. That is why on got days the mercury line is high in the glass tube. 78 First, take a clear glass juice
