plants and mankind
botany, the study of plants, oupies a peculiar position in the history of human knowledge. we don't know what our stone age ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of preindustrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient. this is logical. plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things, even for other plants. they have always been enormously important to the welfare of people, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, dyes, medicines, shelter, and many other purposes. tribes living today in the jungle of the amazon recognize hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. to them botany has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of \we bee the farther away we move from direct contact with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows. yet everyone es unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid. when our
neolithic ancestors, living in the middle east about 10,000
years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next season, the first great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken. grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture: cultivated crops. from then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild and the aumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and intimacy with plants in the wild would begin to fade away .
1. it is logical that a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient. a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned
2. people can not survive without plants. a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned
3. tribes living today in the jungle of the amazon teach botany to their children at school. a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned
4. our direct contact with plants grows with the process of industrialization. a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned
5. today people usually acquire a large amount of botanical knowledge from textbooks. a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned
6. people living in the middle east first learned to grow plants for food about 10,000 years ago. a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned
7. once mankind began farming, they no longer had to get food from many varieties that grew wild. a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned

more than 8 hours sleep too much of a good thing
although the dangers of too little sleep are widely known，new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences． investigators at the university of california in san diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep，as well as a number of other sleep problems，than people who sleep 8 hours a night．people who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night’s sleep than 8-hour sleepers． these findings, which dl daniel kripke reported in the journal psychosomatic medicine, demonstrate that people who want to get a good night’s rest may not need to set aside。more than 8 hours a night．he added that“it might be a good idea'’for people who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed, but cautioned that more research is needed to confirm
this． previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep一for instance, one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7
hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more． for the current report，kripke reviewed the responses of 1，004 adults to sleep questionnaires，in which participants indicated how much they slept during the week and whether they experienced any sleep problems．sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night，arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep，and having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning． kridke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours．in an interview, kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed．as evidence，he added that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed．“it stands to reason that if a person spends too long a time in bed, then they’ll spend a higher percentage of time awake．”he said．
1. paragraph 2 ___. 2. paragraph 4___. 3. paragraph 5___. 4. paragraph 6___.
a. keprike’s research tool b. dangers of habitual shortages of sleep c. criticism on kripke’s report d. a way of overing insomnia e. sleep problems of long and short sleepers f. classification of sleep problems
5．to get a good night’s rest，people may not need to ___. 6．long sleepers are reported to be more likely to___. 7． one of the sleep problems is waking in the middle of the night，unable to___. 8. one survey showed that people who habitually ___each night have a higher risk of dying．

some things we know about language
many things about language are a mystery, and many will always remain so．but some things we do know． first，we know that all human beings have a language of some
sort．there is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language，no set of speech sounds by which the people municate with one mother．furthermore，in historical times，there has never been a race of men without a language． second，there is no such thing as a primitive language．there are many people whose cultures are undeveloped，who are，as we say，uncivilized, but the languages they speak are not primitive．in all known 1anguages we can see plexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing． this has not always been well understood；indeed, the direct contrary has often been stated．popular ideas of the 1anguage of the american indians will illustrate．many people have supposed that the indians municated in a very primitive system of
noises．study has proved this to be nonsense．there are，or were，hundreds of american indian languages，and a11 of
them turn out to be very plicated and very old. they are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with，but they are no more primitive five than english and greek． a third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate．that is, each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language． finally, we know that language changes．it is natural and normal for language to change； the only languages which do not change are the dead ones．this is easy to understand if we look backward in time．change goes on in all aspects of
language．grammatical features change as do speech sounds，and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may our very rapidly．vocabulary is the least stable part of any language． 词汇： race／n．种族 primitive／adj．原始的 uncivilized／adj．不开化的，落后的 plexity／n．复杂性，复杂现象 nonsense／n．胡说，没有根据的话 extensive／adj．广泛的 vocabulary／n．词汇
练习： 1． in the second paragraph the author thinks that a)some backward race doesn’t have a language of its own． b)some race in history didn’t possess a language of
its own． c)any human race，whether backward or not，has a language． d)some races on earth call municate without language．

4. which of the following statements is incorrect? a)a language is a means of expressing a particular
culture． b)all languages can well express their respective cultures． c)american indian languages are as sophisticated as english． d)some languages are better than other languages．
5． aording to the author, language changes are most likely to our in
a)grammar． b)pronunciation． c)vocabulary． d)intonation． 第2篇
stress level tied to education level
people with less education suffer fewer stressful days, aording to a report in the current issue of the journal of health and social behavior． however, the study also found that when 1ess-educated people did suffer stress it was more severe and had a larger impact on their health． from this。researchers have concluded that the day-to-day factors that cause stress are not random．ⅵr11ere you are in society determines the kinds of problems that you have each day, and how well you will cope with them． the research team interviewed a national sample of 1．03 1 adults daily for eight days about their stress level and health．people without a high school diploma reported stress on 30 percent of the study days，people with a high school degree reported stress 38 percent of the time，and
people with college degrees reported stress 44 percent of the time． ‘‘less advantaged people are less healthy on a daily basis and are more likely to have downward turns in their health。’”lead researcher dr．joseph grzywacz，of wake forest university baptist medical center, said in a prepared statement．“the downward turns in health were connected with daily stressors．and the effect of daily stressors on their health is much more devastating for the less advantaged．” grzywacz suggested follow-up research to determine why less-educated people report fewer days of stress when it is known their stress is more acute and chronic． “if something happens every day, maybe it’snot seen as a stressor”grzywacz says．“maybe it is just 1ife．” 词汇： stressful adj．紧张的；压力重的 diploma n．毕业文凭，毕业证书 stressor n．紧张刺激物 devastating adj．毁灭性的 follow-up n．(对病人的)随访
1． stress level is closely related to a)family size． b)social status． c)body weight． d)work

adaptation of living things
certain animals and plants develop characteristics that help them cope with their environment better than others of their kind. this natural biological process is called adaptation. among the superior characteristics developed through adaptation are those that may help in getting food or shelter, in providing protection, and in producing and
protecting the young. that results in the evolution of more and more organisms that are better fitted to their environments. each living thing is adapted to its way of life in a general way, but each is adapted especially to its own distinct class. a plant, for example, depends upon its roots to fix itself firmly and to absorb water and inorganic chemicals. it depends upon its green leaves for using the sun's energy to make food from inorganic chemicals. these are general adaptations, mon to most plants. in addition, there are special adaptations that only certain kinds of plants have. many animals have adaptations that help them escape from their enemies. some insects are hidden by their body color or shape, and many look like a leaf or a little branch. the coats of deer are colored to mix with the surroundings. many animals have the ability to remain pletely still when an enemy is near. organisms have a great variety of ways of adapting. they may adapt in their structure, function, and geics; in their development and production of the young; and in other respects. an organism may create its won environment, as do warm-blooded mammals, which have the ability to adjust body heat exactly to maintain their ideal temperature despite
changing weather. usually adaptations are an advantage, but sometimes an organism is so well adapted to a particular environment that, if conditions change, it finds it difficult or impossible to readapt to the new conditions.
1. some plants and animals develop superior characteristics so that they may a. help others of their kind get food, shelter and other things needed. b. survive even in extremely severe conditions c. bee better adapted to the environments than others of their kind. d. result in the evolution and production of more in ___igent organisms.
2. in the first paragraph, the word \best be replaced by a. contexts b. surroundings c. neighbors d. enemies
3. it can be inferred from this passage that the feathers of a bird care colored a. to frightened its enemies. b. to attract its enemies c. to adjust its body heat d. to match its environment
4. which of the following is not directly mentioned? a. a living thing may adapt in its structure. b. an organism may adapt in its function. c. a living creature may adapt in its geic makeup. d. a living organism may adapt in its sleeping habit.
5. the author cites the behavior of warm-blooded mammals in order to illustrate which of the following? a. a living thing may have the ability to create an environment of its own b. a living creature may have the ability to remain still when an enemy is near. c. a living creature may have the ability to make food from its inorganic chemicals d. a living creature may have the ability to change the color of its skin.

1． b．分析：借助划线短语中的基本词汇含义猜测短语可能的含义为“为了钱和爱”。而这四个备选答案中只有答案b （at any price/以任何代价）在基本用词上（price）与划线短语一致，而且在句意上也合理。该句含义是“某些流行书籍的首印版是无论如何也很难得到的。”
2． c．分析：该题考察与虚拟语气相关的常见动词。 remend是“推荐”； order是“命令”； insist是“坚持”； demand 是“要求”；suggest 是“建议”。只有suggest与remend语义相近，所以答案为c。

5． d。 分析：借助联想法。画线词shine与常见词汇sunshine（阳光）有关。又因shine 的宾语是鞋子，所以推测shine 的含义与“使鞋子光亮”有关。所以polish（擦亮）d是答案。另外：lighten是“to make or bee light or brighter/减轻(负担); 缓和, 使轻松, 使愉快，（使能发光的东西）变亮”，而wash是（洗）； clean是（使干净）。
6． b．分析：借助句意（20世纪70年代初期当barbara jordan在参议院里任职的时候，他就支持有关禁止种族歧视和解决环境问题的立法）判断答案b（禁止）。forbid（forbade; forbidden） vt.禁止，不准，不许；handle vt拿；处理；应付；控制； ban vt./n.（法律上）禁止

10. a. 分析：根据搭配结构含义（..事件）判断a（控制）合适。该句含义是“成功的领导者是事先控制事件而不是事后才做反应”。 contribute v.捐助, 捐献, 贡献, 投稿; convey vt.搬运, 传达; contact n.接触, 联系vt.接触, 联系
11. c. 分析：根据句意（这个例证是论据中的一个主要例证）判断c（主要的）合适。fundamental adj.基础的, 基本的； impressive adj.给人深刻印象的； public n.公众adj.公众的, 公共的；slight adj.轻微的, 微小的
12. b. 分析：借助搭配结构“..on sth.”判断b（影响） 是答案。该句含义是“他们仍然在估测自动化对工厂工人生活的影响。”influence on../对..的影响； impact n.冲击, 影响, 效果 vt. 撞击, 压紧, 对...发生影响； impact也是通常和介词 on搭配（impact on..），含义是“对..的影响”; passion 通常和介词for搭配，表示“对..的热爱”; affect vt.影响, 感动, 侵袭; pressure n.压, 压力, 电压
13. b. 分析：借助句意（在她做了手术后的一个月以后她终于有了好转（恢复了健康））判断b（好转）最合适。get along v.生活, 融洽相处, 进展； get on v.生活, 融洽相处, 进展； get out v.出去, 离开, 逃脱, 泄露
