Reading prehension (每题2分，共20分)Directions: Reading the following passages. Each passage is followed by unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(1)For the last couple of weeks, I had been stuck in front of my puter working on a project that was very important to me. My every waking hour was consumed by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after pleting parts of the project, I was confused to find that instead, I was feeling rather depressed. I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up. I had a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted movie, but to no avail. It was only when I turned to meditation fro a solution that the answer came to me: turn to nature!The very next day, I grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve, even though it was pouring with rain. Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again. To be honest. I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the path singing, “Im singing in the rain”, a song I used to sing when I was a child. I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain our own spirits, which only leads to depression and stress.Interestingly, it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels, but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre.If you feel a little low in spirit and know that you have spent too much time indoors, relax pletely, remove your shoes and let your inner child e out and play. 66. The author felt depressed because she _.A. couldnt consume her waking hourB. had not seen a film for a long timeC. had worked on a hard job for too longD. had not finished her work on time67.

Imagine trying to do it with 30 or so,” he said.Researchers tested the ability of African elephants to remember where each family member had gone. Elephants have poor eyesight but an excellent sense of smell and are able to identify one another from traces of urine (尿) on the ground.To test the memories of the elephants, samples of urine-soaked earth were collected by researchers and placed in positions where a herd was about to pass. Observation showed that the animals exhibited surprise when they could detect the odor (气味) of a family member they knew was behind them. Interest was shown when the urine was that of a close relative travelling in the same group or in a separate herd, but samples left by unknown elephants were ignored.The researchers, who reported their findings in the journal Biology Letters, concluded, “It seems that female elephants have a general interest in monitoring family members with whom they are travelling. Elephants order of travelling often changes and overtaking is mon, suggesting that elephants must frequently update their expectations of where others are in relation to themselves.” 72. From the passage we know that female elephants _.A. are usually stronger than male elephantsB. can remember where their family members are while travelling C. can recognize the odor of a human beingD. usually stay at home while male elephants search for food73. The third paragraph is developed using _.A. timeB. spaceC. parisonD. frequency74. Whats the researchers conclusion about their findings?A. An elephant never goes to search for food alone.B. Elephants dont stay in the same order while travelling in groups.C. Male elephants have no interest in other family members.D. Elephants abilities to survive are beyond our expectations.75. Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage?A. Male elephants have a general interest in monitoring family members.B. Elephants eyesight is poor but their sense of smell is wonderful.C. Richard Byrne is a professor at the University of St. Andrews.D. An elephant never forgets where to find its nearest and dearest.VI.
