BHow would you like to sleep with one half your brain asleep and the other half awake? Dolphins sleep this way. Recently, scientists at Indiana State University have discovered that ducks sleep this way too. They found that ducks sleep half awake so they can rest and watch for danger at the same time.After putting their ducks in a row and videotaping them, some researchers found ducks on the end of each row spent more time asleep with one eye open, apparently looking for predators.“The more the ducks felt threatened, the more they slept with one eye open,” said lead author Niels C. Rattenborg, a graduate student at Indiana State University,Terre Haute.”the unique aspect is not that they do it,but that they control it. When they sleep at the edge of a group,they tend to realize greater danger, so they spend more time sleeping with one half of their brain.” Ducks with one eye open were still awake enough to detect predators, said the authors of the study, which appears today in the journal Nature.The researchers studied four groups of four ducks held in plastic boxes, which were arranged in a row. Ducks on the end were found to sleep with one eye open 31.8 per cent of the time, compared to 12.4 percent of the time for ducks in the central position.Also, ducks in the central position did not open one eye more than the others, while ducks on each end kept the eye facing away from the group open 86.2 per cent of the time. Brain wave readings of the ducks showed that the half of the brain receiving signals from the closed eye indicated that half of the brain was sleeping. Signals from the half of the brain receiving signals from the open eye showed a state between fully awake and asleep.60. It was discovered that .A. most people would like to be half asleepB. ducks can sleep half awakeC. dolphins sleep on their wayD. ducks have different sleeping habits from each other 61. A predator is most likely to be .A. an animal that hunts,kills and eats other animalsB. a human being who looks after and feeds ducksC. a scientist who does research work on animalsD. an animal that is likely to be friends with ducks 62. Ducks at the end of each row sleep with one eye open because .A. they are looking for food B. they want to enjoy the sceneryC. they are watching out for danger D. they are unique in their sleeping habit 63. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Ducks on the northern end of a row would keep their eye facing the south open.B. Ducks with less sense of duty usually choose to stay in the center of a row.C. Ducks with one eye open at the edge can still enjoy a certain degree of sleep.D. A video tape recorder was the only electronic device used in the experiment. CIn the age of reality television, success isn’t the only way to the public eye. Failure can also create fame, just like William Hung, 21, a native of Hong Kong.Hung recently has made an agreement with US-based entertainment firms Koch Records and Fuse Music Network. They will publish a full-length record, titled “The True Idol” on April 6.The idol (偶像) is a civil engineering student at the University of California at Berkeley. He did a version (改写本) of Ricky Martin’s “She Bangs” on the television show “American Idol 3", on January 27. The Fox TV singing contest searches for pop stars among ordinary people. In the case of Hung, however, his act was so bad that the judges cut him off in mid-act. Hung’s response? “I already gave my best, so I have no regrets at all.” That’s interesting, because any common person would have found plenty to regret: the off-key singing, the blue Hawaiian shirt worn with pants pulled up too high, the terrible dancing, the hips jerking (摇摆) to a beat that did not belong to the song, maybe not even to this planet. It was, by all accounts, bad.But it was this very bad act that sold well.Marc Juris, president of Fuse, explained it this way: “Every one of us is happily guilty of singing our favorite song at the top of our lungs with complete freedom, completely off-key and completely unworried. That’s what William did and immediately won the hearts of America.”Whatever it is, for the moment it’s big. Three websites devoted to Hung have gone up on the Internet in the past few weeks. Versions of his performance have been remixed with hip hop and techno music and have made it to the top 10 request list at a Chicago radio station.So, what does Hung think of this?“There were all these people saying things about me. A lot were saying I was very courageous and that I was great on the show, but some didn’t have much respect for me and some were kind of mean.”Now he says he’s not so sure whether to distance himself from the glamour (魅力) or to accept it. Returning to normal hasn’t been easy.64. Hung was popular in American for all the following reasons EXCEPT .A. his shirt and pants B. his off-key singingC. his jerking hips D. his excellent version 65. Which of the following shows the correct order of what happened to Hung?a. The entertainment firms made an agreement with Hung.b. The judges cut Hung off in mid-act in the singing contest. c. Hung became popular among Americans.d. Hung gave a terrible performance though he tried his best.e. Three websites put Hung’s funny performance on the Internet.A. d, b, e, c, a B. a, c, d, b, e C. a, d, b, c, e D. d, b, a, e, c 66. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Sometimes an idol behaves quite foolishly. B. Hung's performance attracted the public eye.C. How an unsuccessful person became famous. D. Success sometimes does not require hard work. 67. Why was Hung able to win the hearts of America?A. His success was based on luck rather than his own hard work.B. He attracted people’s attention and won wide praise in the contest.C. He was good-looking in his pants and shirt though he didn’t sing well.D. In the contest he did what every one of us is happy to do in daily life. DIf you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others? 68. While taking a taxi in Finland, a passenger_______.A. can go anywhere without having to pay the driverB. only pays two US dollars for a taxi rideC. can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wants to goD. needs to provide good faith demonstration before leaving without paying 69. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Generally, in Finland, workers can get more pay by working long hours.B. The bosses are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.C. The workers are always honest with their working hours.D. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay. 70. The underlined word “those” in Para.5 probably refers to people _______.A. who are on guard against others B. who are dishonestC. who often have meals in big hotels D. who often take taxis 71. It can be concluded that _______.A. Finnish people are really foolish in daily life B. the Finnish society is of very high moral levelC. Finland has been a good place for cheatsD. all the Finns are rich and therefore honest EYou are from a middle-class family, and live in a normal size home without any showy possessions, but you are surrounded by surprising consumption (消费). This contrast is beginning to bother your 6-year-old son. You are worried that he will want to live as they do and wonder if you should move.Sometimes big pocket money, joyful birthday parties, special playrooms and super-big houses tell you that your neighbors probably have more money than you do, and that they’re not as careful as you are with money, but you may find that they cook and dig in the garden with their children just as often as you do, talk with them freely and read to them every night.Or you may find that some of these parents stay in one wing of their big house while their child plays by himself, way off in a wing of his own. In that unfortunate case, he is basically growing up alone without being looked after properly, but this can happen to a child who lives in a normal size house, too, if he has a TV, a computer and a few video games in his room. Even the most caring parent doesn’t walk in and out of it to see what show her child is watching, what Internet site he has found and if he’s still playing that video game.Too much uncontrolled screen time may lead to a certain loss of innocence, but mostly this child will lose the sense of unity and satisfaction that comes from being in a family.A neighborhood should also provide you with a sense of unity and satisfaction, and if it doesn’t, you might decide to move. Don’t judge your neighborhood too strictly, though. There are some things that are right with almost any neighborhood and some things that are wrong with the best of them — like those super-big houses. The wealth of their owners — and the way they throw money around — may make your son feel sorry for himself, unless you help him understand that you and his dad save some of the money, give some to people who don’t have enough and use the rest to pay for whatever the family needs.Children want, and should be provided with, explanations when their parents don’t give them what they want.72. What is the problem with the worried parent in the text?A. Her house isn’t as big as her rich neighbors’.B. Her son is left alone without anyone in charge.C. She worries about the effect of her neighbors on her son.D. She cannot provide her son with a special playroom.73. The author seems to agree that parents should .A. spend more time with their childrenB. give their children more freedomC. work hard to lead a richer lifeD. set an example for their children 74. By saying “throw money around” ( in Para.5 ), the author means that rich people .A. save money for their childrenB. spend money carelesslyC. help the poor people willinglyD. leave money all around the house 75. What is the main idea the author aims to express in the text?A. Children are unfortunate to have poor parents.B. Children should enjoy their comfortable life.C. Children feel ashamed of themselves in a rich neighborhood.D. Children need proper guidance from their parents.
第Ⅱ卷(非选择题 共35分)第四部分:写作(共两节,满分35分)第一节:任务型读写(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在表格中的空格处填入恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填一个单词。“HEARTLESS”— a word you wouldn’t want to use to describe a person. But having his heart removed was what saved Craig Lewis’ life—and what made him the first living “heartless” man.The 55-year-old,dying of heart disease,was told he only had 12 hours to live, when Billy Cohn and Bud Frazier, doctors from the Texas Heart Institute, decided to try something new. They removed Lewis heart and replaced it with an artificial (人造的) one. Less than a week after the operation, Lewis was able to sit and speak.Lewis kept on living like a normal person, with only one difference—he didn’t have a heartbeat. The human heart usually pumps blood through our bodies by beating regularly. By contrast, this artificial heart pushes the blood forward with two moving blades(桨叶). If you were to touch Lewis or listen to his chest, you would not feel a heartbeat. If you hooked him up to an EKG(心电图) machine, the line would be flat.Scientists have been trying to create a working artificial heart for years. Until now, all artificial hearts either broke down or caused blocks and infections.But after five years of hard work, Dr Cohn and Dr Frazier developed this artificial heart. It is smaller and quieter than other artificial hearts and can last much longer. They tested it on 38 calves (牛犊) and all of them turned out energetic and healthy. Lewis is the first human proof that the machine is a success.The doctors will have to work more on the device and decide on a final design before it can be widely used. The US Food and Drug Administration will also need to say that the machine is safe. But this artificial heart looks likely to bring a ray of hope to thousands of patients.
Passage outline Supporting detailsA (76) in the history of medicine ◆ 55-year-old Lewis was on the (77) of death. He was told that he only had 12 hours to live.◆ Two American doctors had his heart(78) and replaced it with an artificial one.

For example, there are “Shanzhai” cellphones, “Shanzhai” Spring Festival Galas and “Shanzhai”stars. “Shanzhai” has become a culture of its own. “Shanzhai” stars, who imitate the real stars and put on a variety of performances, bring people fun and pleasure. They offer people a chance to enjoy themselves.However, “Shanzhai”products, such as cellphones and computers, which are modeled after some famous brands, have no quality guarantee and sometimes bring people trouble. In that case, “Shanzhai” needs to be avoided because having quality goods is more important than buying things that are sold at a low price but that will not last.In a word, we must treat “Shanzhai” culture properly.
