enough to begin again in the morningHowever, television watching, for most people, does not really lower stressStudies show that TV viewing more than an hour or so actually creates stress and, especially in women, may lead to the bluesMost individuals are unaware that doing some exercise after work makes them more energetic since it increases energy levelsWise use of free time does not mean getting an advanced degree, although the mental encouragement gained through education is unbeatable in keeping your mind activeLearning new things nearly always adds a spark to your daily life, especially if it is a favorite topic, such as sport, fashion, or artAlso, look through your bookstore or library to find books on your interestsTry to replace a half hour TV watching with readingItis reported that in the United States recently, many individuals have as few as two good friendsLong work hours and car commute act to separate people from each otherThis separation is deadlyFind ways to meet people at the end of the day and on weekendsOften this can be best done by combining activities, such as by joining a walking group to get both exercise and companionshipTaking a class will lift your spirits and allow you to meet others with similar interestsHobbies are great for reducing stress and provide another opportunity for social interactionUsing your free time to aid your health may include these elements and many more, such as going to concerts and spending time with familyOverall, the key is to spend less free time being passiveThe best ways to use free time are to be mentally and physically active, spend some time outdoors, and interact with other people on a regular basis60What can we learn from the passage?AWatching television may cause women to feel depressedBFinding interests and hobbies in common means taking a classCGoing to concerts is the best way to make you mentally activeDGetting an advanced degree in education always lights up your life61What does the underlined word commute in Paragraph 3 probably mean?AThe arrangement to work every dayBThe journey to work every dayCThe communication between peopleDThe separation between people62Which would be the best title for the passage?ALive a Happy and Healthy Life BRelax Yourself in Various WaysCSpend Your Free Time Wisely DInteract With Others OutdoorsCOur brains work in complex and strange waysThere are some people who can calculate the day of the week for any given date in 40,000 years, but who cannot add two plus twoOthers can perform complex classical piano pieces after hearing them once, but they cannot read or writeDrJLangdon Down first described this condition in 1887He called these people idiot savantsAn idiot savant is a person who has significant mental impairment （损伤） , such as in autism or retardationAt the same time, the person also exhibits some extraordinary skills, which are unusual for most peopleThe skills of the savant may vary from being exceptionally gifted in music or in mathematics, or having a photographic memoryOne of the first descriptions of a human who could calculate quickly was written in 1789 by DrBenjamin Rush, an American doctorHis patient, Thomas Fuller, was brought to Virginia as a slave in 1724It took Thomas only 90 seconds to work out that a man who has lived 70 years, 17 days, and 12 hours has lived 2,210,500,800 secondsDespite this ability, he died in 1790 without ever learning to read or writeAnother idiot savant slave became famous as a pianist in the 1860sBlind Tom had a vocabulary of only 100 words, but he played 5 ,000 musical pieces beautifullyIn the excellent movie Rain Man, made in 1988 and available on video cassette, Dustin Hoffman plays an idiot savant who amazes his brother played by Tom Cruise, with his ability to perform complex calculations very rapidlyToday we more clearly recognize that the idiot savant is special because of brain impairmentYet not all brain impairment leads to savant skillsSome studies have shown that people who have purposeful interruption of the left side of the brain can develop idiot savant skillsHowever few people wish to participate in such experimentsThere are many excellent reasons for not undergoing unnecessary experimentation on ones brainThe term idiot savant is outdated and inappropriateVirtually all savants have a high degree of intelligence and are thus not idiots63What does the passage mainly talk about?AIdiot savants have areas of outstanding abilitiesBHuman Beings have complicated thinking processCThe brains of the idiot savants are partly impairedDThe reasons why people have wonderful skills vary64Which of the following can be done by Rain Man?AHe can play wonderful pieces of classical musicBHe can guess out exactly the length of a mans lifeCHe can memorize the contents of the pictures fastDHe can count matches dropped on the floor quickly65What can you infer from the passage?AIdiot savants have real talents for art and mathBDrDown is the first person who found idiot savantsCFew people wish to risk becoming savants by brain operationsDIntentional left brain impairments will surely lead to idiot savants66Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?15refer to paragraph 15.DThe recent, apparently successful, prediction by mathematical models of an appearance of El Ninothe warm ocean How that periodically develops along the Pacific coast of South America has excited researchersJacob Bjerknes pointed out years ago how winds might create either abnormally warm or abnormally cold water in the eastern equatorial （赤道附近的） PacificNevertheless, before the creation of the models, no one could explain why conditions should regularly change between appearances of the warm El Nino and the so-called anti-El NinoThe answer, at least if the current model that links the behavior of the ocean to that of the atmosphere is correct, is to be found in the oceanIt has long been known that during an El Nino, two conditions exist: unusually warm water extends along the eastern Pacific and winds blow from the west into the warmer air rising over the warm water in the eastThe contribution of the model is to show that the winds of an El Nino, which raise sea level in the east, send a signal to the west lowering sea level at the same timeAccording to the model, that signal is created as a negative （负的） Rossby wave, a wave of lower sea level, that moves westward parallel to the equator at 25 to 85 kilometers per dayTaking months to move across the Pacific, Rossby waves march to the western boundary of the Pacific basin, which is modeled as a smootli wall but in reality consists of quite irregular island chainsWhen the waves meet the western boundary, they are reflected, and the model predicts that Rossby waves will be broken into many coastal Kelvin waves carrying the same negative sea-level signalThese eventually shoot toward the equator, and then head eastward along the equator drove by the earth at aspeed of about250 kilometers per dayWhen enough Kelvin waves of adequate amplitude （振幅） arrive from the western Pacific, their negative sea-level signal overcomes the feedback mechanism, raising the sea level, and they begin to drive the system into the opposite cold modeThis produces a gradual change in winds, one that will eventually send positive sea-level Rossby waves westward, waves that will eventually return as cold cycleending positive Kelvin waves beginning another warming cycle67What is the passage mainly about?AHow Rossby waves are foundBWhere El Nino is formedCWhat the models predictDHow the models work68Where does El Nino often appear?AAlong the western coast of the USA.BIn the Pacific in the south, of the equatorCIn the Pacific in the north of the equatorDAlong the southern coast of South America69What is right according to the passage?ARossby waves and Kelvin waves move in opposite directions along the equatorBPeople could explain El Nino before the creation of the mathematical modelsCAdequate sea-level waves can produce westward positive cold cycleDThe speed of Rossby waves is faster than that of Kelvin waves70What does the underlined word waves in Paragraph 3 refer to?AKelvin wavesBSea-level signalsCCoastal wavesDRossby waves第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Linguistic（语言学的） PuzzlesHow did language begin? What was the worlds first language? Do all languages come from one, original language? 71 .In the 4th century BC, the Greek historian Herodotus wrote this account: Psamtik I an Egyptian King, wanted to find out what the oldest language in the world was 72 He told his servant to find two newborn babiesWhen the servant had found them, the king gave them to a shepherd （牧羊人） and said, Keep these babies with the goatsTake care of them, but do not talk to themListen for any words that they say The king wanted to find out what language the children would speak if they were left aloneHe said, The first words they speak will come from the original language of the world_73 He told the kingwho asked his scholars about this wordThey told him that the Phiygians, who lived in an area which is now Turkey, called bread becos The king said, Then Phiygian is the oldest language Today we know that the kings conclusion was wrongWe dont know why the children said becos 74 . Scholars discovered that many European and southern Asian languages belonged to the same family and that they started from the same parent language, Proto-Indo-EuropeanLinguists think that it had split into several different languages, including Greek and Sanskrit, between 2000 and 1000 BCOther languages, such as English and Spanish, developed from later splits75_ . Two questions that interest linguists are: How does language change? Why does language change? If you like solving mysteries, historical linguistics may be the job for youANowadays, we study the origin of language more scientificallyBHe was talking about this problem with his scholars when he had an ideaCThe King was very kind to his servant and his servant remained royal to himDLinguists are the scholars who are very interested in categorizing the language familiesEPeople have been trying to find the answers to these questions for more than 2 ,000 yearsFOne day, while the babies were babbling to each other, the shepherd heard them say becosGLinguists have classified many language families, and they are still trying to categorize others第
