Jackson a famous person on MTV in the 1990s. With stage performances and music videos,

Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques, such as the robot

A study has found that taste is linked to the brain chemicals which control our moods(心
情 ) . When levels of these chemicals fall, which is thought to happen when a patient is
suffering from depression(沮丧), our sense of taste becomes less sensitive(敏感的). The team
from Bristol University says that their findings could explain why people lose their appetites
( 胃 口 ) when they are depressed. Doctors at present have no way of knowing which
medicine will work for which patient and often give the wrong drug to the patient. Their
discovery could lead to the development of a taste test that allows doctors to
quickly and exactly choose the right drug to treat a patient’s depression. Researcher Dr. Jan
Melichar said, “Until now, we have had no easy way of deciding which is the best medicine for
http://www.docin.com/sundae_meng
depression. As a result, we get it right about 60 to 80 percent of the time. It then takes up to
four weeks to see if the drug is working, or if we need to change it. However, with a taste test,
we may be able to get it right the first time. ”
Dr. Melichar added, “If you can get people back to feeling better quicker, it is something
that is worth doing. ”
The study, which was published in the Journal of Neuroscience, could also lead to
treatments for problems such as being overweight. “It could be that some people may be eating
more to get the same taste, because their sense of taste has become less sensitive, ” said Dr
Melichar. “So, if you could somehow improve people’s sense of taste, they might eat less. ”
55. When a person is depressed, ______ .
A. he has a strong appetite for food
B. doctors can give him right medicine
C. no chemicals in his brain reduce
D. his sense of taste becomes less sensitive
56. It is suggested in this passage that______ .
A. if someone eats more, his sense of taste will be more sensitive
B. loss of appetite has nothing to do with one’s moods
C. a patient is suffering from depression when the levels of all brain chemicals rise
D. depression could be a sign of the fall of some brain chemicals
57. We learn from the passage that_______ .
A. the research aims to solve people’s weight problems
B. patients are not always given the right medicine for their problems
C. people’s sense of taste is more important than the other senses
D. people’s moods mainly depend on people’s appetite

The Chinese People’s Liberation Army’s 15 female
pilots riding 15 training jets K-8 appeared as the final
formation of an air display at the end of a grand military
parade in Beijing on Thursday morning.
With music of a popular military song to express pilots’
enthusiasm for the nation’s blue sky echoing around
Tian’anmen Square, five training jets flew over hundreds
of thousands of spectators, leaving red, yellow and blue smoke trails behind to conclude the
air show that lasts for nearly ten minutes.
The aviators ( 飞 行 员 ) are China’s first generation of female fighter pilots who just
graduated from the Air Force’s third aviation college with full A scores of their training courses.
“Female pilots face more physical challenges and difficulties in operating a fighter jet for
maneuvers such as twisting and flipping(筋斗), ” said Wang Baoqun, an official from the
aviation college. “But considering precision and carefulness of operating the jet’s various
apparatus, the female has shown more advantages than male pilots, ” Wang said. The
college’s dean Wu Huiming said that the female fighter pilots have shown better endurance
than males.
The PLA’s Air Force started to recruit(吸收)female pilots in 1951 and has cultivated

ago with another 19 competitive trainees, and only 16 of them successfully graduated from

第六节 阅读填词
As poets go, Robert Frost was no longer young when he published his first book of poems,
A Boy's Will, in 1913. Though born in San Francisco, he came of a New England family which
returned there when he was ten. Like many other writers, he had a brief brush with college and
then supported himself by trying different jobs. However, he had been brought up on a farm
and he liked farming. Most of all, he liked to write but he could not support himself by writing.
In his late 30s he moved to England, where he produced his first book.
At the outbreak of World War I, Frost went back to farming in New Hampshire. Thereafter,
although he made many journeys elsewhere, he considered the farm to be his home and its
http://www.docin.com/sundae_meng
activities became the focus of his poetry.
Frost's verses(诗, 诗体) are a part of a great tradition, shaped by the Roman poet Vergil,
whose poetry was mainly about farming. However, though he used farm situations in much of
his poetry, he gave them a wide application. He might write about stepping on a rake(耙子)
and describe the feeling when it hit him, but he used the incident to show how life gave us
lessons.
Some talents in poetry are used up early, but not Frost's. He continued to publish fine
poetry for fifty years. He reached the height of his popularity after World War II. If America
had a national poet in the 20th century, it was Frost. He was chosen to read one of his poems at
the inauguration(就职典礼)of the late President John F. Kennedy, the first poet ever so
honored.

第七节 简答题
The computer makes doing schoolwork easier for me than it was for my mom and dad. For
example, when writing book reports and stories, I use Microsoft Word instead of a pen and
paper. That way, after my teacher checks my work, I can go back and make revisions without
having to rewrite the whole thing. And Microsoft Word has a spell check! I use it all the time.
For English class, we are reading The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton. As pre-reading homework,
my teacher asked us to research teenage groups on the Internet. I tried Google, Encarta, and
Yahoo first, and finally found an article on Time. com .
For geography homework on the United States, I used Encarta to learn about the
Mississippi River. I needed to find out how deep the river is, how its widths and depths are
different, what states it runs through, and what kinds of fish live in it. I used the information to
show how the geography of a country influences its economy. For example, the river’s trade
paths, the number of fish caught in it and the tourists it attracts directly affect Southerners’ jobs
and incomes.
I never go to the library to do research. It takes too much time. Since I live in New York
http://www.docin.com/sundae_meng
City and both my parents work, getting to the library isn’t always easy. For a big task or
research project, I used to stay at the library to read, or sign out whatever books or magazines I
needed. Now being able to find the information in my own living room makes everything a lot
simpler. Online dictionaries and encyclopedias (百科全书) also save time.
Sometimes, I think the computer spoils my generation because it is so easy --- at least
physically. But computers are not like television, which does the thinking for you. You still
have to use your mind. I prefer using a computer, easy, fun, and fast.
91. What does the writer use when he writes book reports and stories? (no more than 3
words)
92. Why doesn’t the writer go to the library to do research? (no more than 6 words)
93. How does the writer complete a big assignment or research project at present? (no more
than 10 words)
94. Why does the author prefer using a computer? (no more than 11 words)
