16、omised D.conceivedPart IV. Reading Comprehension (30%)Passage One Why do people always want to get up and dance when they hear music? The usual explanation is that there is something embedded in every culture-that dancing is a cultural universal. A researcher in Manchester thinks the impulse may be
17、even more deeply rooted than that. He says it may be a reflex reaction. Neil Todd, a psychologist at the University of Manchester, told the BA that he first got an inkling that biology was the key after watching people dance to deafeningly loud music. There is a compulsion about it, he says. He reck
18、oned there might be a more direct, biological, explanation for the desire to dance, so he started to look at the inner ear. The human ear has two main functions: hearing and maintaining balance. The standard view is that these tasks are segregated so that organs for balance, for instance, do not hav
19、e an acoustic function. But Todd says animal studies have shown that the sacculus, which is part of the balance-regulating vestibular system, has retained some sensitivity to sound . The sacculus is especially sensitive to extremely loud noise, above 70 decibels.Theres no question that in a contempo
20、rary dance environment, the sacculus will be stimulated. Says Todd. The average rave, he says, blares music at a painful 110 to 140 decibels. But no one really knows what acoustically stimulated sacculus does. Todd speculates that listening to extremely loud music is a form of vestibular self-stimul
21、ation it gives a heightened sensation of motion. We dont know exactly why it causes pleasure. he says. But we know that people go to extraordinary lengths to get it He lists bungee jumping, playing on swings or even rocking to and fro in a rocking chair as other examples of pursuits designed to stim
22、ulate the sacculus. The same pulsing that makes us feel as though we are moving may make us get up and dance as well, says Todd. Loud music sends signals to inner ear which may prompt reflex movement. The typical pulse rate of dance music is around the rate of locomotion, he says. Its quite possible
23、 youre triggering a spinal reflex.61. The passage begins with_.A. a new explanation of music B. a cultural universal questionedC. a common psychological abnormality D. a deep insight into human physical movements62. What intrigued Todd was_.A. human instinct reflexesB. peoples biological heritagesC.
24、 peoples compulsion about loud musicD. the damages loud music wrecks on human hearing.63.Todda biological explanation for the desire to dance refers to_.A.the mechanism of hearing soundsB.the response evoked from the sacculusC.the two main functions performed by the human earD.the segregation of the
25、 hearing and balance maintaining function64.When the sacculus is acoustically stimulated , according to Todd._.A.functional balance will be maintained in the ear B.pleasure will be arousedC.decibels will shoot up D.hearing will occur65. What is the passage mainly about?A.The human ear does more than
26、 hearing than expected.B.Dancing is capable of heightening the sensation of hearing.C.Loud music stinulates the inner ear and generates the urge to dance.D.The human inner ear does more to help hear than to help maintain balance.Passage TwoHave you switched off your computer? How about your televisi
27、on? Your video? Your CD player? And even your coffee percolator? Really switched them off, not just pressed the button on some control panel and left your machine with a telltale bright red light warning you that it is ready to jump back to life at your command?Because if you havent, you are one of
28、the guilty people who are helping to pollute the planed. It doesnt matter if youve joined the neighborhood recycling scheme, conscientiously sorted your garbage and avoided driving to work. You still cant sleep easy while just one of those little red lights is glowing in the dark.The awful truth is
29、that household and office electrical appliances left on stand-by mode are gobbling up energy, even though they are doing absolutely nothing. Some electronic products -such as CD players -can use almost as much energy on stand-by as they do when running. Others may use a lot less, but as your video p
30、layer spends far more hours on stand-by than playing anything, the wastage soon adds up.In the US alone, idle electronic devices consume enough energy to power cities with the energy needs of Chicago or London-costing consumers around $1 billion a year. Power stations fill the atmosphere with carbon
31、 dioxide just to do absolutely nothing.Thoughtless design is partly responsible for the waste. But manufacturers only get away with designing products that waste energy this way because consumers are not sensitive enough to the issue. Indeed, while recycling has caught the public imagination, reduci
32、ng waste has attracted much less attention. But “source reduction”, as the garbage experts like to call the art of not using what you dont need to use, offers enormous potential for reducing waste of all kinds. With a little intelligent shopping, you can cut waste long before you reach the end of th
33、e chain.Packaging remains the big villain. One of the hidden consequences of buying products grown or made all around the world, rather than produced locally, is the huge amount of packaging needed to transport them safety. In the US, a third of the solid waste collected from city homes is packaging
34、. To help cut the waste and encourage intelligent manufactures the simplest trick is to to look for ultra-light packaging.The same arguments apply to the very light but strong plastic bottles that are replacing heavier glass alternatives, thin-walled aluminum cans, and cartons made of composites tha
35、t wrap up anything drinkable in an ultra-light package.There are hundreds of other tricks you can discuss with colleagues while gathering around the proverbial water cooler- filling up, naturally, your own mug rather than a disposable plastic cup. But you dont need to go as far as one website which
36、tells you how to give your friends unwrapped Christmas presents. There are limits to source correctness.66.From the first two paragraphs, the author implies that_A hitech has made life easy everywhereB B .nobody seems to be innocent in polluting the planetC C. recycling can potentially control envir
37、onmental deteriorationD Everybody is joining the global battle against pollution in one way or another.67. The waste caused by household and office electrical appliances on stand-by mode seems to _.A. be a long-standing indoor problem B. cause nothing but troubleC. get exaggerated D. go unnoticed68.

Ultra-light packaging_.A. is expected to reduce American waste by
39、 one-third.B, is an illustration of what is called “source reduction”C. can make both manufacturers and consumers intelligentD. is a villain of what the garbage experts call “source reduction”70. The conclusion the author is trying to draw is that_.A. One person cannot win the battle against polluti
40、onB. anybody can pick up tricks of environmental protection on the webC. nobody can be absolutely right in all the tricks of environmental protectionD. anybody can present or learn a trick of cutting down what is not needed.71.Schallert issued a warning to those who_.A.believe in the possibility of

44、to administer drugs to block the effects of glutamate.B.to be watchful of the amount of exercise for stroke victimsC.to prescribe vigorous exercise to stroke victims one week after injuryD.to reconsider the significance of physiotherapy to brain damagePassage FourOur understanding of cities in anyth
45、ing more than casual terms usually starts with observations of their spatial form and structure at some point or cross-section in time. This is the easiest way to begin, for it is hard to assemble data on how cities change through time, and in any case, our perceptions often betray us into thinking of spatial structures as being resilient and long lasting. Even where physical change is very rapid, this only has an impact on us when we visit such places infrequently, after years a
