阅读下面短文,从各题 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳答案。
A
You either have it, or you don’t --- a sense of direction. But why is it that some people could
find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next
street?
Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it
works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at
developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests
that if we don’t use it, we lose it.
“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland,
Research Director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken
everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”
Jim Marland also said that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense
of direction. He makes the following suggestions:
· If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.
· If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree.
Note landmarks on the route (路线) as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back
along the same route.
· Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams,
or walls in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have
gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you
are.

A. some babies are born with a sense of direction
B. people learn a sense of direction as they grow older
C. people never lose their sense of direction
D. everybody has a sense of direction from birth

D. They can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car.

A. tie it to a tree so as to prevent it from being stolen
B. draw a map of the route to help remember where it is
C. not take the same route when you come back to it

There is an English saying :“laughter is best medicine .”Until recently ,few people took the
saying seriously .Now however ,doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on
the human body .They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health .
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body .People watched funny
films while doctors checked their hearts ,blood pressure ,breathing and muscles .It was found that
laughter had similar effects to physical exercise .It increases blood pressure ,the heart beating and
breathing ; it also works several groups of muscles in the face ,the stomach ,and even the feet .If
laughter exercises the body ,it must be beneficial .
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the
body .In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different
radio programmes .The group that tolerated(忍耐)the pain for the longest time was the groups
which listened to a funny programme .The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it
helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain .
As a result of these discoveries ,some doctors in the United States now hold laughter
clinics ,in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to
laugh .They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing ,making them
smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter .
51.Doctors have proved the following EXCEPT that .
A.smiling does good to health B.laughter can be tolerated
C.there is a way to reduce pain D.laughter can work the muscles in the feet
52.The main idea of the passage is .

B.smile can produce the same effects as laughter
C.pain can be reduced by laughter
D.laughter is the best medicine
53.The students who tolerated the pain for the longest time .
A.listened to different radio programmes B.could produce a kind of chemical
C.don’t have stress of pain D.listened to a funny programme
54.The underlined word“diminish”is similar to .
A.test B.stop C.reduce D.increase
55.Doctors hold laughter clinics _________.
A.to give better condition to their patients B.in order to improve patients’ health
C.to make patients smile D.to prove smile and laughter have the same effect

My house is made of wood , glass and stone .It is also made of software .
If you come to visit ,you’ll probably be surprised when you come in . Someone will give you
an electronic PIN (个人身份证号码) to wear .This PIN tells the house who and where you
are .The house uses this information to give you what you need . When it’s dark outside ,the PIN
turns on the lights nearest you ,and then turns them off as you walk away from them .Music moves
with you too . If the house knows your favorite music , it plays it .The music seems to be
everywhere ,but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music .If you get a
telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings .
Of course , you are also able to tell the house if you want something .There is a home control
console(控制台) , a small machine that turns things on and off around you .
The PIN and the console are new ideas ,but they are in fact like many things we have
today .If you want to go to a movie ,you need a ticket .If I give you my car keys ,you can use my
car . The car works for you because you have the keys . My house works for you because you
wear the PIN or hold the console .
I believe that ten years from now ,most new homes will have the systems(系统)that I’ve put
in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I’ve put in today .
I like to try new ideas .I know that some of my ideas will work better than others .But I hope
that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new ,and ask myself instead ,“How did I live
without them?”

One possible version:
We had a discussion about whether China should devote major efforts to
developing car industry.Opinions are divided on the question.
60 % of the students hold the belief that China should fully develop car
industry.They believe this will not only promote the development of the national economy
but provide more jobs to workers as well.Moreover,cars can help to save time and improve
people’s life quality.
On the other hand , 40 % of them think China should limit its car industry
development.Otherwise,the city traffic will be even heavier and more traffic accidents will
take place.At the same time,new roads will take up more farmland,what’s more,air and
noise pollution will become more serious.
