III. Reading Comprehension (40 points)
A
　　 Although no one is certain why migration occurs, there are several theories. One theory is based upon the statement that prehistoric birds of the Northern Hemisphere(半球)were forced south during the Ice Age, when ice covered large parts of Europe, Asia, and North America. As the ice of rivers melted, the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer, and then went south again as the ice advanced in winter. In time, the migration became a habit, and now, although the glaciers have disappeared, the habit continues.
　　 Another theory proposes that the ancestral home of all modern birds was the tropics. When the region became overpopulated, many different sorts of birds were crowded north. During the summer ,there was plenty of food, but during the winter, short supply forced them to return to the tropics.
　　 A more recent theory, known as photoperiodism , suggests a relationship between increasing daylight and the feeling of certain glands(腺)in the birds’ bodies that may prepare them for migration. One scientist has been able to cause midwinter migrations by making birds uncovered to unreal periods of daylight. He has concluded that changes occur in the bodies of birds due to seasonal changes in the length of daylight.
56. According to one theory, when the glaciers disappeared, birds________.
　　A. stopped migrating　　　　　　 B. began migrating again
　　C. continued migrating　　　　　　 D. migrated south and stayed there
57. The author states that birds left the tropics because________.
　　A. there was not enough food there in the winter B. there were too many birds
　　C. there were too many glaciers 　　D. there was too much daylight
58. Why did one scientist expose birds to artificial daylight?
　　A. To test the relationship between daylight and migration.
　　B. To test the relationship between daylight and a disease of the glands common to birds.
　　C. To test the relationship between migration and temperature.
　　D. To test the relationship between daylight and changes in the season.
59. According to the theory of photoperiodism,________.
　　A. birds should migrate in the middle of the winter
　　B. longer days cause changes in the bodies of birds
　　C. seasonal changes in the length of days do not affect migration
　　D. increasing daylight increases the distance of migration
60. This passage supports the belief that________.
　　A. exact reasons for migration are not known 　　
B. birds migrate because of changes in temperature
　　C. the ancestral home of all birds was the tropics 　　
D. glaciers caused birds to migrate

　　The purpose of this book is to provide you with practice in spelling English. It is not a book that treats the complex rules of English spelling. Neither does it teach you how to use a dictionary. Its main objective is to introduce regular spelling patterns; that is, to present a regular system for spelling a large group of words. By learning these patterns, and by practicing them, you will master thousands of words.
　　Of course, there are exceptions to spelling patterns, which must be learned one word at a time. But, unlike some educators, I do not believe that learning to spell English is an impossible task, in spite of the exceptions. And I believe that this book of patterns will help you.
61. The main purpose of the book is to________.
　　A. present all of the rules of English spelling 　
B. list the exceptions to regular spelling patterns
　　C. teach students to use the dictionary 　　
D. provide practice in using regular spelling patterns
62. In the author’ s opinion, other educators________.
　　A. agree with him when he says that English spelling can be learned

　　C. disagree with him when he says that English spelling can be learned
　　D. disagree with him when he says that English spelling cannot be learned

The conventional(依照传统的) wisdom about what’s good for you and what’s bad changed over the years. Here’s what experts now say:
Off the Forbidden List
What We Used to Think
Eggs are so full of cholesterol(胆固醇) they might as well be poison. Stay away.
What Doctors Say Now
Cholesterol in food doesn’t necessarily raise blood-cholesterol levels.
What to Do
If you’ve got cholesterol problems avoid eggs. If not, they are fine in moderation.
Pass the Salt
What We Used to Think
It will send your blood pressure sky-high. Always choose low-sodium(低钠的)foods,
and don’t touch the salt jar.
What Doctors Say Now
It isn’t necessarily so, unless you’ve already suffered from high blood pressure.
What to Do
A low-sodium diet won’t hurt and may help. But don’t eat your fill.
Cereals and Grains
What We Used to Think
Filling, but they don’t help the heart.
What Doctors Say Now
They replace higher-fat foods, and when fortified by vitamins B, they help scour(消除) potentially harmful homocysteine from the blood
What to Do
Eat plenty , especially the whole-grain kind ; the extra fiber could help reduce colon cancer(结肠癌)
Red Wine
What We Used to Think
Alcohol(酒精) is bad for you, no exceptions
What Doctors Say Now
A substance called resveratrol, found in grape skins, may reduce levels of bad cholesterol.
What to Do
Alcohol in excess ( 过量) is still bad for you, but a glass of wine with dinner is probably fine for non-alcoholics.

Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties.
Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and daily difficulties. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off(挡开) illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.
Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting(转移...注意力)us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support, a financial aid, material resources, and needed services -- that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.
67. Research shows that people's physical and mental health _______.
A. relies on the social welfare systems which support them
B. has much to do with the amount of support they get from others
C. depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troubles
D. is closely related to their strength for coping with major changes in their lives
68. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word "cushions"(Line 1, Para.3)?
A. Adds up to. B. Does away with.
C. Lessens the effect of. D. Lays the foundation for.
69. Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work is an example of _______.
A. instrumental support B. informational support
C. social companionship D. the strengthening of self-respect
70. Social companionship is beneficial in that _______.
A. it helps strengthen our ties with relatives
B. it enables us to get rid of our faults and mistakes
C. it makes our leisure-time activities more enjoyable
D. it draws our attention away from our worries and troubles

Believe it or not，optical illusion (错觉) can cut highway crashes. Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. Bent stripes，called chevrons (人字形)painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are，and thus drivers slow down. Now the American Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japan's success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes. Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation .To help reduce those accidents，the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed - related hazards ar
