Passage One

Early this year, Captain Startup was flying an aeroplane over New Zealand. There was a television camera crew on board. Suddenly, out in the night sky, a bright sphere came into view. Everyone on board saw it and everyone thoughtUFO ”一Unidentified Flying Object. Many people believe that a UFO is a visiting craft from outer space. The camera crew went into action and started filming. That week people all over the world saw the film of this mysterious light on their television screens. Someone described the object as “a shining ping-pong ball”. What was it? Was it a spaceship full of visitors from another planet? The Captain and the film crew believed it was. Other observers had many different explanations. Some say it was Venus. Some say it was just a trick of light. The people on the aeroplane were not the only ones who saw the "UFO”. An air traffic controller also saw it on his radar screen. When a reporter asked him if he believed in UFOs, he said，" I don' t know what they are, but I' ve got an open mind on them. " Like many scientists, he thought that a flock of birds caused dots on his radar screen when the UFO appeared.

Most astronomers now believe that what these people saw was almost certainly the planet Venus. At that time of year it is very bright and easy to see. And from a moving aeroplane it can appear to be moving fast. So far there is no proof that UFOs or spaceships from other planets do exist.

The flying fox is not a fox at all.It is an extra large bat that has got a fox' s head, and that feeds on fruit instead of insects.Like all bats, flying foxes hang themselves by their toes when it rest, and travel in great crowds when out flying. A group will live in one spot for years. Sometimes several hundreds of them occupy (占据)a single tree. As they return to the tree toward sunrise, they quarrel among themselves and fight for the best places until long after daylight.

Flying foxes have babies once a year, giving birth to only one at a time.At first the mother has to carry the baby on her breast wherever she goes.Later she leaves it hanging up, and brings back food for it to eat.Sometimes a baby falls down to the ground and squeaks (尖叫)for help. Then the older ones swoop (俯7中)down and try to pick it up.If they fail to do so, it will die.Often hundreds of dead baby bats can be found lying on the ground at the foot of a tree.

A college education is an investment in the future. But it can be a costly investment. The College Board estimates that the costs at fbur-year public college in the United States increased ten percent this past school year. That was less than the thirteen percent increase the year before, but still much higher than the inflation rate. Public colleges and universities still cost a lot less than private ones.

Financial aid often helps. But financial advisers tell parents to start college savings plans when their child is still very young.

All fifty states and the District of Columbia offer what are called five-twenty-nine plans. These plans are named after the part of the federal tax law that created them 1996. States use private investment companies to operate most programs.

Every state has its own rules governing five-twenty-nine plans. Some of the plans are free of state taxes. And all are free of federal taxes. However, the government could start to tax withdrawals in 2011 if Congress does not change the law.

Five-twenty-nine plans include investment accounts that increase or decrease in value with the investments they contain. Families must decide how aggressively they want to put money into stocks, bonds or other investments.

Another kind of five-twenty-nine plans begin to pay for their child' s education long before their child starts college. This kind of savings program is called a prepaid tuition plan.

Passage Four

For some time past it has been widely accepted that babies and other creatures learn to do things because certain acts lead to" rewards” ； and there is no reason to doubt that this is true.But it used also to be widely believed that effective rewards, at least in the early stages, had to be directly related to such basic physiological “drives” as thirst or hunger.In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink or some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise.

It is now clear that this is not so.Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward except the successful outcome.

Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way tou rewardn the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure.So he began to study the childrenJ s responses in situations where no milk was provided. He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement u switched on,, a display of lights-and indeed that they were capable of learning quite complex turns to bring about this result. For instance, two left or two right, or even to make as many as three turns to one side.

Papousek' s light display was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting observation that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the lights closely although they would “smile and bubble" when the display came on.Papousek concluded that it was not primarily the sight of the lights which pleased them, it was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in mastering the skill, and that there exists a fundamental human urge to make sense of the world and bring it under intentional control.

46.According to the author, babies learn to do things which .

A.are directly related to pleasure B.will meet their physical needs

C.will bring them a feeling of success D.will satisfy their curiosity

47.Papusek noticed in his studies that baby .

A.would make learned responses when it saw the milk

B.would carry out learned movements when it had enough to drink

C.would continue the simple movements without being given milk

D.would turn its head to right or left when it had enough to drink

48.In PapusekJ s experiment babies make learned movements of the head in order to .

A.have the lights turned on B.be rewarded with milk

C.please their parents D.be praised

49.The babies would u smile and bubble" at the lights because .

A.the lights were directly related to some basic "drives"

B.the sight of the lights was interesting

C.they need not turn back to watch the lights

D.they succeeded in u switching on,, the lights

50.According to Papusek, the pleasure babies get in achieving something is a reflection of

Passage Five

Most of the world has stopped the spread of the polio (小儿麻痹症)virus. But the disease is now increasing in some places. The World Health Organization says it may not be able to meet its goal to end polio in 2005.

The W. H. 0. says more than one thousand children have been infected in 2005. That is more than two times the number as compared to the same period in 2004.

Polio began to spread in 2003 when immunization (免疫接种)campaigns were stopped for a year in northern Nigeria. As a result, the virus returned to a number of African countries that were free of polio. There are several hundred new cases in Yemen.

Children under age three suffer more than half of all cases of polio. The virus is spread through water and human waste. The virus enters the mouth and invades the nervous system. The W. H. 0. says most people who are infected never show signs of polio. But they can spread the virus for several weeks.

The W. H. 0. says one out of two hundred infections leads to paralysis that never goes away. Usually the victims lose the ability to move their legs. Some lose control of their breathing muscles and die.

People who recover from polio can suffer additional muscle weakness and other disorders years later. Doctors call it post-polio syndrome (综合征).

There are no cures for polio, but it can be prevented. Indonesia has plans for national immunization campaigns on August thirtieth and September twenty-seventh. The goal is to vaccinate more than twenty-four million children under age five.

51.Why did the polio virus spread to a number of African countries again?

A)Because immunization campaigns were stopped for a year in northern Nigeria.

B)Because the W. H. 0. did not help the African countries.

C ) Because people didn' t take the virus seriously.

D) Because people were ignorant of the virus.

52.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A)The polio disease is now decreasing in some places.

B)Only in 2005 can we end polio.

C ) Most people in the world are suffering from the polio disease.

D) About five hundred children were infected with polio in 2004.

C)no one died of polio disease

D)there are some cures for polio
