Do you ever wonder why you yawn? Why do you open your mouth wide and take a deep breath? Well, a scientist at the University of Maryland is searching for the answer.
Professor Robert Provine has been studying yawning for the past two years. But he says he still does not know people yawn. In fact, no one seems to know much about it. Professor Provine’s students have helped him find out more about yawning. They agreed to (watch) while sitting alone in small rooms. In the rooms, they watched television programs, or pictures of people yawning. Or they just sat and (think) about yawning. Students also kept records of when they yawned throughout the day.
The professor says he has learned number of things from these experiments. He says yawning seems linked in some way to sleeping. His students yawned most just before sleeping or waking from sleep. He also found that people yawn much when they are (bore ) or not interested in what they are doing.
Now, Professor Provine is planning future experiments to help him find the purpose of yawning. He said there is some evidence yawning is linked to (excite). Yawning is common among runners (wait) to begin a race. It is also common among people waiting to make a speech.
Professor Provine says he is most interested in learning why seeing someone yawn makes others yawn as well. He says almost anything connected with yawning can make people yawn. As a matter of fact, I found yawning a lot as I prepared this report. I wonder if hearing it can make you yawn. If it does, excuse me, if you did yawn, write and tell me.

Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.
In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. With a TV set in the family people don’t have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera. All they have to do is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if he has a remote control. He makes no choice, does no exercises, and makes no judgment. He is completely passive （被动的）and has everything presented to him without any effort in his part.
Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one’s sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. We get so used to looking at the movements on it, so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and that they actually begin to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesn’t it?
There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that determine its value to society.
31. The main function of paragraph 1 is to __________.
A. introduce the theme of the whole passage
B. summarize the whole passage
C. arouse the reader’s interest
D. state the primary uses of TV
32. Television, as a source of entertainment, is __________.
A. not very convenient B. very expensive

B. TV viewers are totally passive.
C. TV has more disadvantages.
D. TV prices are very high.
34.One of the most obvious advantages of TV is that _______.
A. it is very cheap B. it controls our lives
C. it keeps us informed D. it enables us to have a rest
35. According to the passage, whether TV is good or not depends on ___________.
A. where we buy it B. how we think about it
C. how we make use of it D. where we make use of it
C
What will man be like in the future——in 5000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.
But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.
36. The passage mainly tells us that____.
A. man’s life will be different in the future
B. future man will look quite different from us
C. man is growing taller and uglier as time passes
D. the functions of man’s organs(器官) will function as well as today
37. Which of the following serves as the evidence that man is changing?
A. Man’s hair is getting thinner and thinner.
B. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.
C. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.
D. Man’s arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.
38. The change in man’s size of forehead is probably because__________
A. he makes use of only 20 % of the brain’s capacity.
B. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due（预定的） time.
C. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries.
D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on.
39. Which of the following is true about a human being in the future?
A. He thinks and feels in different way.
B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.
C. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.
D. His fingers grow weaker because he doesn’t use them.
40. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A. future life is always predictable（可预测的）
B. human beings hope for a change in the future life
C. human beings will become less attractive in the future
D. Less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration（衰退）
D
I sit at my kitchen table, while my daughter, Anna, sits next to my mother. On the wall hangs a photo of my father. “When is Rick going to be here?” My mother asks, referring to my husband.
“I don’t know, Mom,” I answer patiently. “He’ll be here for dinner.”
I sigh and get up from the table. This is at least the tenth time she has asked that question.While my mother and
daughter play, I busy myself making a salad.
“Don't put in any onions,” Mom says. “You know how Daddy hates onion.”“Yes, Mom,” I answer.I scrub(洗擦) off a carrot and chop it into bite-size pieces.
“Don't put any onions in the salad,” she reminds me. “You know how Daddy hates onion.”This time I can’t answer.
My mother had been beautiful. She still is. In fact, my mother is still everything she has been,just a bit forgetful.I cut off the end of the cucumber and rub it to take away the bitterness. Cut and rub. This is a trick I have learned from my mother, along with a trillion other things: cooking, sewing, dating, laughing, thinking. I learned how to grow up. And I learned that when my mother was around, I never had to be afraid. So why am I afraid now?
I study my mother's hands. Her nails are no longer a bright red, but painted a light pink. Almost no color at all. And a million tears off my cheeks. Now my hands have grown into those of my mother's. Hands that have cooked uneaten meals, held my own daughter's frightened fingers on the first day of school and dried tears off her face. I grow lighthearted. I can feel my mother kiss me goodnight, check to see if the window is locked, then blow another kiss from the doorway. Then I am my mother, blowing that same kiss to Anna. Outside everything is still. Shadows fall among the trees, shaped like pieces of a puzzle.
Someday my daughter will be standing in my place, and I will rest where my mother now sits. Will I remember then how it felt to be both mother and daughter? Will I ask the same question too many times? I walk over and sit down between my mother and her granddaughter.
“Where is Rick?” my mother asks, resting her hand on the table next to mine. And in that instant I know she remembers. She may repeat herself a little too much. But she remembers.
“He’ll be here,” I answer with a smile.
41. What’s wrong with the writer’s mother?
A. She is very old. B. She suffers forgetfulness.
C. She is absent-minded. D. She is eager to see Rick.
42. What can we learn about the writer’s father according to the passage?
A. He might have passed away for years.
B. He goes out for a walk by himself.
C. He is out doing something with Rick.
D. He loves the writer’s mother deeply.
43. The underlined sentence “I realize I am feeling them as they shaped my youth” probably means that ______.
A. Mother’s hands witnessed my growth as a youth
B. Mother’s hands are similar to mine as a youth
C. I like to feel mother’s hands when she was young
D. I realize her hands were exactly like those in her youth
44. Which of the following words best describe the writer’s mood towards her mother?
A. Content. B. Disappointed. C. Loving. D. Considerate.
45.The best title for the passage would be ______.
A. Mother’s beauty B. My father hates onion
C. Hard-working mother D. Mother’s hands
第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
请阅读下列有关婚姻的观点，按照要求匹配信息。并将答案填写在答题卷标号为56-60的相应位置上。请注意： E 填涂AB ， F 填涂AC
A. Being unselfish is very important to make a marriage work.
B. Becoming a person of independence and pride leads to a successful marriage.
C. Being able to communicate makes a marriage happy.
D. Divorced people will live an incomplete life.
E. Marriage is the result of extended love.
F. Divorce results from a lack of responsibility.
以下是五个人关于婚姻的讲述，请将他们的讲述和以上观点匹配。
46. Megan
Sometimes I think that successful marriages are an endangered societal species. It seems as though every time I turn around, another couple I know is getting divorced. It’s a shame because marriage is very important. I believe that if people put more effort into making their marriages work, there would be fewer divorces. Marriage takes certain characteristics to make it a success, such as responsibility and sense of humor. It partners all understand this, more happy marriages will be maintained.
47. Amanda
One thing I think that is important to successful marriage is that you should not always think of yourself. My husband and I have stayed happily for about ten years. He makes me know there are many times he would rather read, relax, or work on the car, but he only does something for himself when all the household chores are done and the kids have been taken care of. In return, I bake him all his favorite home-made cakes and cookies and try to go out of my way to do special things for him. I feel very fortunate to have married him.
48. Nicole
My husband is my best friend, with whom I share most of my thoughts. We find it easy to talk about most things, so we don’t have many secrets from each other. When my mother makes him upset he dose not hesit ate to tell me. Things like that are easier to deal with when they’re out in the open than when they’re kept inside. Thus, we have a very open, comfortable relationship.
49. Samantha
I feel sorry for what my divorced friends have lost. No matter how earnestly the former spouses try to “keep in touch”, no matter how generous the visiting privileges for the parent who does not win custody of the children, the continuity of their lives has been broken. The years they spent together have been cut off from the rest of their lives; they are an isolated memory, no more integral to their past than a snapshot.
50. Ashley
The very first trick to a happy marriage is to be a person of yourself who does not imagine a husband is necessary to make you magically complete. Successful partnerships are not between those who cannot live without each other, but between those who can live with each other. There is no room even in daydreams for the stupid idea that there is on earth only one mate intended for another.

Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.
In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. With a TV set in the family people don’t have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera. All they have to do is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if he has a remote control. He makes no choice, does no exercises, and makes no judgment. He is completely passive （被动的）and has everything presented to him without any effort in his part.
Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one’s sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. We get so used to looking at the movements on it, so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and that they actually begin to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesn’t it?
There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that determine its value to society.
31. The main function of paragraph 1 is to __________.

C
What will man be like in the future——in 5000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.
But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.
36. The passage mainly tells us that____.
A. man’s life will be different in the future
B. future man will look quite different from us
C. man is growing taller and uglier as time passes
D. the functions of man’s organs(器官) will function as well as today
37. Which of the following serves as the evidence that man is changing?
A. Man’s hair is getting thinner and thinner.
B. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.
C. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.
D. Man’s arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.
38. The change in man’s size of forehead is probably because__________
A. he makes use of only 20 % of the brain’s capacity.
B. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due（预定的） time.
C. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries.
D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on.
39. Which of the following is true about a human being in the future?
A. He thinks and feels in different way.
B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.
C. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.
D. His fingers grow weaker because he doesn’t use them.
40. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A. future life is always predictable（可预测的）
B. human beings hope for a change in the future life
C. human beings will become less attractive in the future
D. Less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration（衰退）
D
I sit at my kitchen table, while my daughter, Anna, sits next to my mother. On the wall hangs a photo of my father. “When is Rick going to be here?” My mother asks, referring to my husband.
“I don’t know, Mom,” I answer patiently. “He’ll be here for dinner.”
I sigh and get up from the table. This is at least the tenth time she has asked that question.While my mother and
daughter play, I busy myself making a salad.
“Don't put in any onions,” Mom says. “You know how Daddy hates onion.”“Yes, Mom,” I answer.I scrub(洗擦) off a carrot and chop it into bite-size pieces.
“Don't put any onions in the salad,” she reminds me. “You know how Daddy hates onion.”This time I can’t answer.
My mother had been beautiful. She still is. In fact, my mother is still everything she has been,just a bit forgetful.I cut off the end of the cucumber and rub it to take away the bitterness. Cut and rub. This is a trick I have learned from my mother, along with a trillion other things: cooking, sewing, dating, laughing, thinking. I learned how to grow up. And I learned that when my mother was around, I never had to be afraid. So why am I afraid now?
I study my mother's hands. Her nails are no longer a bright red, but painted a light pink. Almost no color at all. And a million tears off my cheeks. Now my hands have grown into those of my mother's. Hands that have cooked uneaten meals, held my own daughter's frightened fingers on the first day of school and dried tears off her face. I grow lighthearted. I can feel my mother kiss me goodnight, check to see if the window is locked, then blow another kiss from the doorway. Then I am my mother, blowing that same kiss to Anna. Outside everything is still. Shadows fall among the trees, shaped like pieces of a puzzle.
Someday my daughter will be standing in my place, and I will rest where my mother now sits. Will I remember then how it felt to be both mother and daughter? Will I ask the same question too many times? I walk over and sit down between my mother and her granddaughter.
“Where is Rick?” my mother asks, resting her hand on the table next to mine. And in that instant I know she remembers. She may repeat herself a little too much. But she remembers.
“He’ll be here,” I answer with a smile.
41. What’s wrong with the writer’s mother?
A. She is very old. B. She suffers forgetfulness.
C. She is absent-minded. D. She is eager to see Rick.
42. What can we learn about the writer’s father according to the passage?
A. He might have passed away for years.
B. He goes out for a walk by himself.
C. He is out doing something with Rick.
D. He loves the writer’s mother deeply.
43. The underlined sentence “I realize I am feeling them as they shaped my youth” probably means that ______.
A. Mother’s hands witnessed my growth as a youth
B. Mother’s hands are similar to mine as a youth
C. I like to feel mother’s hands when she was young
D. I realize her hands were exactly like those in her youth
44. Which of the following words best describe the writer’s mood towards her mother?
A. Content. B. Disappointed. C. Loving. D. Considerate.
45.The best title for the passage would be ______.
A. Mother’s beauty B. My father hates onion
C. Hard-working mother D. Mother’s hands

请阅读下列有关婚姻的观点，按照要求匹配信息。并将答案填写在答题卷标号为56-60的相应位置上。请注意： E 填涂AB ， F 填涂AC
A. Being unselfish is very important to make a marriage work.
B. Becoming a person of independence and pride leads to a successful marriage.
C. Being able to communicate makes a marriage happy.
D. Divorced people will live an incomplete life.
E. Marriage is the result of extended love.
F. Divorce results from a lack of responsibility.
以下是五个人关于婚姻的讲述，请将他们的讲述和以上观点匹配。
46. Megan
Sometimes I think that successful marriages are an endangered societal species. It seems as though every time I turn around, another couple I know is getting divorced. It’s a shame because marriage is very important. I believe that if people put more effort into making their marriages work, there would be fewer divorces. Marriage takes certain characteristics to make it a success, such as responsibility and sense of humor. It partners all understand this, more happy marriages will be maintained.
47. Amanda
One thing I think that is important to successful marriage is that you should not always think of yourself. My husband and I have stayed happily for about ten years. He makes me know there are many times he would rather read, relax, or work on the car, but he only does something for himself when all the household chores are done and the kids have been taken care of. In return, I bake him all his favorite home-made cakes and cookies and try to go out of my way to do special things for him. I feel very fortunate to have married him.
48. Nicole
My husband is my best friend, with whom I share most of my thoughts. We find it easy to talk about most things, so we don’t have many secrets from each other. When my mother makes him upset he dose not hesit ate to tell me. Things like that are easier to deal with when they’re out in the open than when they’re kept inside. Thus, we have a very open, comfortable relationship.
49. Samantha
I feel sorry for what my divorced friends have lost. No matter how earnestly the former spouses try to “keep in touch”, no matter how generous the visiting privileges for the parent who does not win custody of the children, the continuity of their lives has been broken. The years they spent together have been cut off from the rest of their lives; they are an isolated memory, no more integral to their past than a snapshot.
50. Ashley
The very first trick to a happy marriage is to be a person of yourself who does not imagine a husband is necessary to make you magically complete. Successful partnerships are not between those who cannot live without each other, but between those who can live with each other. There is no room even in daydreams for the stupid idea that there is on earth only one mate intended for another.
