The world is known to us through many senses not just hearing, smell, vision and at close

range, touch, and taste.

Our skins let us know whether the air is moist or dry, whether surfaces are wet without being sticky or slippery. From the uniformity (均匀) of slight pressure, we can be aware how deeply a finger is thrust (刺) into water at body temperature, even if the finger is enclosed in a rubber glove that keeps the skin completely dry. Many other animals, with highly sensitive skins appear to be able to learn still more about their environment. Often they do so without employing any of the five senses.

By observing the capabilities of other members of the animal kingdom we come to realise that a human being has far more possibilities than are utilized. We neglect ever so many of our senses in concentrating on the five major ones. At the same time a comparison between animals and man draws attention to the limitations of each sense. The part of the spectrum (光谱) seen by colour conscious man as red is non-existent for honey-bees. But a bee can see far more in flowers than us, because the ultra-violet (紫外线) to which our eyes are blind is a stimulating (刺激的) part of the insect's spectrum and for honey-bees at least constitutes (构成，组成) a separate colour.

From the passage we realise that ______.

A．man possesses far more senses than the five major ones

B．man possesses a few more senses than animals

C．man possesses as many senses as animals

D．man has fully utilized his senses

Independence Day

In 1767, England placed a tax on all tea used by the American colonist. The colonists protested "taxation without representation" and refused to allow the tea to be unloaded. In 1773, colonists dressed as Native Americans, boarded ships from the East India Company and threw 300 chests of tea into the Boston Harbor. This became known as the Boston Tea Party and the road to freedom was begun.

On January 10, 1776 the famous pamphlet Common Sense, by Thomas Paine, was distributed. It swept the colonies invoking a sense of pride and determination. The Spirit of '76 was born.

On July 4, 1776, Congress passed the Declaration of Independence. It announced to the world that "these United Colonies" are "Free and Independent States" and absolved their ties with England, thus beginning the war for independence. They had declared their right to "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Which year is the year when the American colonists began to fight a war for independence？

A．1767.

B．1776.

C．1777.

D．1779.

听力原文： Thomas Edison is a well known American inventor. He was taught by his mother when he was a child. Later he learned things by himself by reading and experimenting. He built a lab for himself to work in, and he worked very hard in his sixty years of scientific activities. He made over a thousand inventions. Few inventors in the world have had such great success.

Edison's first invention was made in 1868. He was then a telegraph operator. He wished to work out a new method to improve the old telegraph system because it was impossible at that time for the system to send more than one message along the same line at the same time. He read all the works of Faraday, another great scientist, before starting his invention. Sometimes he didn't go to bed and didn't even stop to eat. He thought he had very much to do and there was no time to lose. Days and nights he was reading and reading. After he read through Faraday's writings, he began his experiments. A few months later he succeeded in building a double transmitter and improved the old telegraph System.

(30)

A．He went to a famous school.

B．He was taught by his mother.

C．His parents employed a good teacher to teach him.

D．He was taught by his father.

听力原文： World Trade Organization chief Supachai Panitchpakdi says all WTO nations need t

o pull together in the coming months, if the ambitious economic blueprint known as the Doha Development Agenda is to succeed. Supachai Panitchpakdi says most WTO nations have indicated that they want to complete the so-called Doha round of trade talks by 2006. But the director general of the World Trade Organization says finalizing the negotiations requires a consensus of the 148 member nations. And that, he says, means they must work hard over the next several months to finalize details of the wide-ranging agreement. "This means there will be no deal Until there is agreement on the whole negotiating package, because there are linkages between different subject areas," he said. "The 2006 deadline is feasible, I am confident, is still feasible. But it will require major advances in technical discussions and strong political determination." Mr. Supachai spoke at the Pacific Basin Economic Council in Hong Kong on Monday. He stressed the need to strengthen trade negotiations at next December's WTO ministerial conference, which will be held in Hong Kong.

Mr Supachai stressed that ______.

A．the Doha round can't be finished by 2006

B．strong political will is necessary

C．nations can continue the negotiation even if there were no consensus among them

D．December's conference to be held in Doha next year is important

Ford 1．Ford's great strength was the manufacturing process--not invention. Long befor

Ford

1．Ford's great strength was the manufacturing process--not invention. Long before he started a car company, he was a worker, known for picking up pieces of metal and wire and turning them into machines. He started putting cars together in 1891. Although it was by no means the first popular automobile, the Model T showed the world just how creative Ford was at combining technology and market.

2．The company's assembly line alone threw America's Industrial Revolution into overdrive (高速运转). Instead of having workers put together the entire car, Ford's friends, who were great toolmakers from Scotland, organized teams that added parts to each Model T as it moved down a line. By the time Ford's Highland Park plant was humming(嗡嗡作响) along in 1914, the world's first automatic conveyor belt could turn out a car every 93 minutes.

3．The same year Henry Ford shocked the world with the $5-a-day minimum wage scheme, the greatest contribution he had ever made. The average wage in the auto industry then was $2.34 for a 9-hour shift. Ford not only doubled that, he also took an hour off the workday. In those years it was unthinkable that a man could be paid that much for doing something that didn't involve an awful lot of training or education. The Wall Street Joumal called the plan "an economic crime", and critics everywhere laughed at Ford.

4．But as the wage increased later to daily $10, it proved a critical component of Ford's dream to make the automobile accessible (可及的) to all. The critics were too stupid to understand that because Ford had lowered his costs per car, the higher wages didn't matter--except for making it possible for more people to buy cars.

第7题

About the year 1900, a small dark-haired boy named Charlie Chaplin was often seen waiting

out- side the black entrances of London theatre. He looked thin and hungry. He was hoping to get work in show business. He could sing and dance, and above all, he knew how to make people laugh. But he couldn't get work and therefore wandered(徘徊) about the city streets. Sometimes he was sent away to a home for children who had no parents.

But twenty years later this same Chaplin became the greatest, best known, and best loved comedian(喜剧演员) in the world. Nearly all visitors to cinema must have seen some of Chaplin's films. People everywhere had sat and laughed at them until the tears ran down their faces. Even people who don't understand English can enjoy Chaplin's films because they are almost silent. It isn't what he says that makes people laugh. His comedy doesn't depend on words or languages. It depends on little actions which mean the same thing to people all over the world. Acting out, without words, of common human situations plays an important part in the dances and plays of many countries. It's a kind of world language.

Chaplin lived most of his life in America and died in Switzerland on Christmas 1977, at the age of eighty-eight. There was sadness all over the world at the news of his death.

Why was young Chaplin waiting outside the back entrances of the theatres？

A．Because he wanted to enjoy a play in the theatre.

B．Because he was hungry and wanted some food.

C．Because he liked to play a part in a play and thus make a living.

D．Because he wished to become a man of business.
