The first 19 is gratitude. All happy people are 20 . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that b

16、 40 分) A Among various programs, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style(风格). But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerr
17、y Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows. Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk”. The contents on his show are as surprising as can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry
18、Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other peoples lives. Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality
19、(质量) of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors. Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech about the en
20、tire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable. Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The shows main viewers are middleclass Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and ability to deal with lifes tough problems. Jer
21、ry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the shows exploitation. 31. Comp
22、ared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are HLLYBQ 整理 供“高中试卷网（http:/sj.fjjy.org） ” 4 _. A. more interesting. B. unusually popular. C. more detailed. D. more formal. 32. Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch the
23、shows_. A. remain interested in them. B. are ready to face up to them. C. remain cold to them. D. are willing to get away from them. 33. Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show? A. A new type of robot. B. Nation hatred(憎恨). C. Family income planning. D. Street accide
24、nt. 34. We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows_. A. have become the only ones of its kind. B. exploit the weaknesses in human nature. C. appear at different times of the day. D. attract different people. B If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find h
25、ow “foolish” the Finnish people are. Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without
26、 paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety. The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show
27、 their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge. The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the
28、 boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly. With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always c
29、ome back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a soc
30、iety has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”. HLLYBQ 整理 供“高中试卷网（http:/sj.fjjy.org） ” 5 In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others? 35.We can know from the passage that in Finland_. . A.both hotel guests and outside diners are served food
31、 free of charge B.big hotels provide meals for all kinds of diners C.guests can enjoy free food once they stayed in the hotel D.big hotels are mostly poorly managed 36.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A.Generally speaking, in Finland, workers can get more pay by working l
32、ong hours. B.The bosses are too busy to check the working hours of their employees. C.The workers are always honest with their working hours. D.The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay. 37.The underlined word “those” in the 5th paragraph probably refers to people
33、_. A.who often take taxis B.who often have meals in big hotels C.who are dishonest D.who are on guard against others 38.It can be concluded that _. A.Finnish people are really foolish in daily life B.Finland has been a good place for cheats C.the Finnish society is of very high moral level D.all the
34、 Finns are rich and therefore honest C How would you like to sleep with one half your brain asleep and the other half awake? Dolphins sleep this way. Recently , scientists at Indiana State University have discovered that ducks sleep this way too. They found that ducks sleep half awake so they can re
35、st and watch for danger at the same time. After putting their ducks in a row and videotaping them, some researchers found ducks on the end of each row spent more time asleep with one eye open ,apparently looking for predators. “The more the ducks felt threatened ,the more they slept with one eye ope
36、n,” said lead author Niels C. Rattenborg ,a graduate student at Indiana State University ,Terre Haute .”the unique aspect is not that they do it ,but that they control it . When they sleep at the edge of a group ,they tend to realize greater danger ,so they spend more time sleeping with one half of
37、their brain.” Ducks with one eye open were still awake enough to detect predators ,said the authors of the study ,which appears today in the journal Nature. The researchers studied four groups of four ducks held in plastic boxes ,which were arranged in a row .Ducks on the end were found to sleep wit
38、h one eye open 31.8 per cent of HLLYBQ 整理 供“高中试卷网（http:/sj.fjjy.org） ” 6 the time, compared to 12.4 percent of the time for ducks in the central position. Also ,ducks in the central position did not open one eye more than the others, while ducks on each end kept the eye facing away from the group op
39、en 86.2 per cent of the time. Brain wave readings of the ducks showed that the half of the brain receiving signals from the closed eye indicated that half of the brain was sleeping. Signals from the half of the brain receiving signals from the open eye showed a state between fully awake and asleep.
40、39. It was discovered that_ . A.most people would like to be half asleep B.ducks can sleep half awake C.dolphins sleep on their way D.ducks have different sleeping habits from each other 40. A predator is most likely to be_ . A.an animal that hunts ,kills and eats other animals B.a human being who l
41、ooks after and feeds ducks C.a scientist who does research work on animals D.an animal that is likely to be friends with ducks 41. Ducks at the end of each row sleep with one eye open because_ . A.they are looking for food B.they want to enjoy the scenery C.they are watching out for danger D.they ar
42、e unique in their sleeping habit 42. How many ducks were used in the experiment? A. Four B. Eight C. Twelve D. Sixteen 43.Which of the following is true according to the passage? A.Ducks on the northern end of a row would keep their eye facing the south open. B.Ducks with less sense of duty usually
43、choose to stay in the center of a row. C.Ducks with one eye open at the edge can still enjoy a certain degree of sleep. D.A video tape recorder was the only electronic device used in the experiment D One summer evening I was sitting by the open window, reading a good science storybook. I was so inte
44、rested in the story I was reading that I did not notice that it was getting dark. When I realized it was too dark for me to read easily, I put the book down and got up to turn on the light. Just then I heard someone crying, “Help! Help!” It seemed to come from the trees at the other end of the yard.
45、 I looked out but it was now too dark to see anything clearly. Almost immediately I heard the cry again. It sounded like a child, but I could not imagine what anybody could be doing in our backyard, unless one of the neighborhood children had climbed a tree and had not been able to get down. HLLYBQ
46、整理 供“高中试卷网（http:/sj.fjjy.org） ” 7 I decided that I should go out and have a look in the yard, just in case someone was in trouble. I turned on the light and found for myself a flashlight and a stick in the room. I thought they might be useful. Armed with these, I went out into the yard. Once again I
47、 heard the cry and this time there was no doubt that it came from the trees at the far end of the yard. “Whos there?” I called out as I walked across the yard towards the trees. But there was no answer. With the help of my flashlight, I searched all over that end of the yard, including the branches
48、of the tree. There was no sign of anybody or anything. I came to the conclusion that my imagination was playing tricks on me, probably because of the story I was reading about strange creatures on another planet. Feeling rather foolish about hunting around in my own backyard with a baseball bat, I went back into the house and put the bat and the flashlight away. I had just sat down to read my book again when I was frightened by the cry of “Help! Help!” from r
