     Scientists at Harvard University and Bates College find female chimpanzees (黑猩猩) appear to
treat sticks as dolls, carrying them around until they have children of their own. Young males engage
in such behavior much less frequently.
     The new work by Sonya M. Kahlenberg and Richard W. Wrangham, described this week in the
journal Current Biology, provides the first evidence of a wild nonhuman species playing with dolls, as
well as the first known sex difference in a wild animal's choice of playthings.
     The two researchers say their work adds to a growing body of evidence that human children are
probably born with their own ideas of how they want to behave, rather than simply mirroring other
girls who play with dolls and boys who play with trucks. Doll play among humans could have its origins
in object-carrying by earlier apes (猿類), they say, suggesting that toy selection is probably not due
entirely to socialization.
     "In humans, there are obvious sex differences in children's toy play, and these are remarkably similar
across cultures," says Kahlenberg. "While socialization by elders and peers has been the primary
explanation, our work suggests that biology may also have an important role to play in activity
preferences."
     In 14 years of data on chimpanzee behavior at the Kibale National Park in Uganda, Kahlenberg
and Wrangham counted more than 100 examples of stickcarrying. Some young chimpanzees carried
sticks into the nest to sleep with them and on one occasion built a separate nest for the stick. "We have
seen juveniles occasionally carrying sticks for many years, and because they sometimes treated them
rather like dolls, we wanted to know if in general this behavior tended to represent something like
playing with dolls," says Wrangham, a Professor at Harvard. "If the doll hypothesis (假設) was right,
we thought that females should carry sticks more than males do, and that the chimpanzees should stop
carrying sticks when they had their first child. We have now watched enough young chimpanzees to
prove both points."

1. What does a female chimpanzee do with sticks?

A. She gives them to her child to play with.
B. She treats them as dolls.
C. She makes useful tools from them.
D. She treats them as weapons.

2. What causes the different toy selection of chimpanzees, according to the passage?

A. Sex difference.
B. Socialization.
C. Environment.
D. Cultural difference.

3. We can infer from the fourth paragraph that ________.

A. socialization has nothing to do with human's choice of playthings
B. sex difference is the only factor in human's choice of playthings
C. the biology factor may also influence toy choice
D. people choose different toys in different cultures

4. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.

A. both humans and chimpanzees choose their playthings due to sex difference
B. different factors cause humans and chimpanzees to choose different playthings
C. only female chimpanzees have playthings
D. chimpanzees usually choose playthings for their children

Football--called soccer in the United States--is probably the most popular sport in the world today, It has been popular for a long time. But many years ago each country had different rules for its own football game.
In 1863 a group of people met in England to change this. They wrote a set of rules for all countries to follow. They also planned for soccer teams from different countries to play against each other. The idea worked. These rules are the same today, more than 100 years later. Now teams from all the world compete in the famous World Cup. The cup is a series of games which is held every four years. Team from many countries plays to see which is the best. Soccer is so popular today that it is not unusual for 600 million people to watch a World Cup match on television.
How did the World Cup start? The soccer team from Uruguay won the Olympic championship in soccer in 1924 and 1928. That country decided to have the first World Cup games in Montevideo in 1930, These first games were not very successful. Only thirteen teams arrived to play and eight of them were from South America.

     My friend Robert started a new job this week and he's been in the training class for two days. The
employer has a very strict dress code-dark blue shirts and pants.
     On the first day, an older gentleman in his class did not have the proper clothes and he was strictly
told that he would be fired if he didn't have the right clothes the next day. He explained, "Sir, I had been
told about this, but because of my larger size, it's sometimes difficult to find the right clothing for a price
I can afford."
      Last night, Robert and I decided that this old man shouldn't lose the chance of work simply because
he couldn't afford the clothes. I had some cash on hand and Robert took it with him this morning just in
case it was needed.
     When training started this morning, the trainer was ready to fire the older gentleman. "You have 10
minutes to be in proper clothes," he was told. At this point, Robert spoke up and asked if he could have
10 minutes to get him the clothes. He then ran out to the store and bought the proper-sized pants and a
shirt; he returned with both and gave them to the older man.
     The older gentleman began to cry and told him that he couldn't accept such a gift from a stranger.
Robert told him he had to because he had lost the receipt(收據) and couldn't return them-a little white
lie. The pants were a perfect fit, the shirt was a bit tight but he was able to keep his job.
     "My wife and I tried to gather together some money last night, but we didn't have enough to buy the
clothes," he told Robert. "It's unbelievable to me that a person would do such a thing for only knowing
me a day!"
     More unbelievable is how good it has made Robert and me feel to do this.

1. If the older man did not have the proper clothes, he would _____.

A. be punished
B. be offered another job
C. put off the training class
D. lose his job

2. The money which was paid for the clothes was _____.

A. the trainer's
B. the older man's
C. the writer's
D. Robert's

3. How did Robert persuade the older man to accept the clothes?

A. He told the older man that he would lose his job if he did not take them.
B. He told a lie that the clothes didn't fit himself.
C. He told the older man that he could save money and return it later.
D. He told the older man that he had no way to send them back.

4. What might be the best title for the passage?

A. Proper clothes for a stranger
B. Fight against strict rules
C. A strange employer
D. An unbelievable thing

閱讀理解。

     Like many other small boys, I was fascinated by cars, not least because my oldest brother
was a bit of a car guy and subscribed to cool magazines like Car and Driver and Motor Trend.
Every so often, one of those magazines would run an article on the "Car of the Future". They
featured unconventional styling and things like small nuclear reactors as power sources. Yet,
frankly, my car doesn't do anything that my brother's Studebaker didn't do. It goes, it stops, it
burns gasoline, it plays music. I still have to steer it, and it still runs into things if I don't steer it
carefully.
     But guess what? All of these things are subject to change in the not-so-distant future. It will
still go and stop, but it may not burn gasoline, I may not have to steer it, and it may be a lot better
at not running into things.
     Airbags aren't the be-all and end-all in safety. In fact, considering the recent news about people
occasionally being killed by their airbags in low-speed collisions (碰撞),they obviously still need
some development. But they aren't going away, and in fact, you can expect to see cars appearing
with additional, side-impact airbags, something some European car manufacturers already offer.
     Better than systems to minimize (使減少到最低限度) injury in the event of an accident,
however, are systems that minimize the likelihood of an accident happening in the first place. Future
cars may be able to eliminate many of the major causes of accidents, including drunk-driving,
tailgating (與前車距離過近) and sleepiness. Cars could be equipped with sensors that can detect
alcohol in a driver's system and prevent the car from being started, for example. Many accidents
are caused by people following the car in front too closely. As early as next year, you'll be able to
buy cars with radar-equipped control systems. If the radar determines you're closing too quickly
with the car in front, it will ease up on the throttle (油門). For city streets, expect other radar devices
that will give advance warning that the car in front of you has slowed abruptly (突然地) and you
should step on the brakes-or that may even brake for you.
     Will cars eventually be able to drive themselves? There's no reason to think it won't be technically
possible, and Mercedes is working on a system that can brake, accelerate and steer a vehicle down
a highway on its own. Nobody really expects people to give up all control to their cars, but such
systems could be used as failsafe systems to keep cars on the road and bring them safely to a stop
even if the driver suddenly became disabled.

1. Why was the author fascinated by cars?

A. Because other small boys liked to own a car of their own, too.
B. Because he read exotic things about cars in his brother's magazines.
C. Because his oldest brother loved to take him to places in his car.
D. Because he subscribed to cool car magazines.

2. By saying "my car doesn't do anything that my brother's Studebaker didn't do", the author
means that_____.

A. my car is far better than my brother's
B. my car is not as good as my brother's
C. not much has changed in the performance of cars so far
D. much improvement has been made in the design of cars recently

3. Which of the following statements is true of airbags?

A. They are in need of further improvement.
B. They are going to disappear gradually.
C. They kill people instead of protecting them in low-speed collisions.
D. They are a standard feature of European cars.

4. According to the author, what will future cars do if the sensors detect alcohol in the driver's
system?

A. They will give a warning in advance.
B. They will brake automatically.
C. They will ease up on the throttle.
D. They will not start.

5. Which of the following statements is true according to the last paragraph?

A. People will give up all control to their cars.
B. Cars will be able to drive themselves.
C. No cars will ever break down on the roads.
D. Cars will all be equipped with failsafe systems.

     When I was six years old, my mom told me that I could find anyone's number in the phone book. I
used to look through the phone book for hours trying to find Michael Jordan's phone number. When I
couldn't find it, I just dialed seven numbers. When someone answered, I'd ask, "Is that Michael Jordan?" Obviously, I always had the wrong number.
     A year later I started playing basketball at my local recreation center. It was very big. I never thought
in my wildest dreams that a basketball court could be inside a building. The recreation center had a
special smell in it, sort of like hot rubber. I guessed it was from the shoes hitting the floor so fast and hard. The atmosphere on the court was carefree. Our biggest excitement of the day was when we actually
made a shot.   We celebrated wins over ice cream at a fast food restaurant.
      I got good at it, and my confidence grew. I played it all the time until the sixth grade. As soon as
junior high school came, I stopped playing basketball and focused on school. When senior high school
started, I tried out for the school team and made it. We worked hard. Every week we did 300 push-ups
and 300 sit-ups on our own. Our coach encouraged the sit-ups to keep stomach power, because it gave
us so much control when we were playing basketball. If we didn't want to do the sit-ups and push-ups,
we could practice dribbling (運球) and shooting more. It's just us, the ball, the court and the net. But
don't take my word for it. See for yourself. After all, I'm just one kid playing the game.

1. From Paragraph 1 we know that ____.

A. the author's mother gave him some wrong phone numbers
B. the phone book contained everyone's phone number except Michael Jordan's
C. the author wanted to contact Michael Jordan very much
D. the author didn't know how to use a phone at that time

2. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A. The days of the author playing basketball at a recreation center.
B. The author's excitement of making shots when playing basketball.
C. The days before the author went to senior high school.
D. The author's happy childhood with his teammates.

3. What surprised the author most at the recreation center?

A. That it was very near to his home.
B. That there was a basketball court inside the building.
C. That there was a special smell in it.
D. That there was a fast food restaurant in it.

4. The author's coach encouraged them to do sit-ups because ____.

A. it is the basic preparation to play basketball
B. it is more useful than dribbling and shooting
C. it is the only way to make people stronger
D. it helps keep stomach power

5. What's the author's purpose in writing this passage?

A. To introduce some skills in playing basketball.
B. To tell us about his dream of becoming a basketball star.
C. To introduce his own experience of playing basketball.
D. To tell us how to balance playing basketball and studying.

     It is difficult to imagine what life will be like without memory．The meanings of thousands of
everyday perceptions(感覺、知覺), the bases for the decisions we make, and the roots of our
habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by
memory．
     Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use．It includes
not only "remembering" things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involves any change in
the way an animal typically behaves．Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain
because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile．Memory is also involved when
a six-year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat．
     Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and
machines．Computers, for example, contain devices from storing data for later use．It is
interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being．
The instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 "words"-ready for
instant use．An average U．S．teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000
words of English．However, this is but a fraction(部分、片斷) of the total amount of
information which the teenager has stored．Consider, for example, the number of faces and
places that the teenager can recognize on sight．
     The use of words is the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings．A large
part of a person's memory is in terms of words and combinations of words．

1．According to the passage, memory is considered to be ________．

A．the basis for decision making and problem solving
B．an ability to store experiences of future use
C．an intelligence typically possessed by human beings
D．the data mainly consisting of words and combinations of words

2．The comparison made between the memory capacity of a large computer and that of a human being shows that ________．

A．the computer's memory has a little bigger capacity than a teenager's
B．the computer's memory capacity is much smaller than an adult human being's
C．the computer's memory's capacity is much smaller even than a teenager's
D．both A and B

3．The whole passage implies that _______．

A．only human beings have problem-solving intelligence
B．a person's memory is different from a computer's in every aspect
C．animals are able to solve only very simple problems
D．animals solve problems by instincts rather than intelligence

4．The topic of the passage is __________．

A．What would life be like without memory?
B．Memory is of vital importance to life．
C．How is a person's memory different from an animal's or a computer's?
D．What is contained in memory?
