A paper describing the incidents was recently published in the American Journal of Primatology.” In it, the scientists suggest that the animals might have learned their unusual behavior from interactions with humans. 45.

But with more blossoms appearing earlier this year, there is concern that climate change is affecting a much-loved national symbol of spring. The popular Somei yoshimo variety of cherry tree produces buds in mid-summer, but a hormone （荷尔蒙激素）in the leaves causes the buds to hibernate (休眠). When the leaves fall from the tree in spring, the flowers blossom, creating for a few short days a brilliant clouds of white to pale pink blooms. If the tree loses its leaves prematurely for any reason while the weather is warm, the buds may bloom early – and once they have bloomed, they won’t flower again this year. According to Hiroyuki Wada, chief researcher at the Flower Association of Japan, this year a number of factors have contributed to cherry tree’s eraly leaf loss. One was the unusually dry, hot summer followed by a severe typhoon that stripped many trees of their leaves. Another was a warm, late fall that allowed leaf-eating cherry caterpillars and fall webworms to flourish. With their leaves stripped and the temperatures balmy, many sakura trees were “tricked” into thinking that fall was actually spring. 49. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A. Sakura trees only bloom in spring. B. Hormone in the leaves causes cherry trees to produce buds in summer. C. Some popular sakura varieties bloom twice a year. D. The sakura is Japan’s national flower. 50. What causes the buds to bloom in advance? A. Early loss of leaves. B. Warm weather. C. Using of hormone. D. Both A and B, excluding C 51. What causes the trees to lose their leaves early this year? A. Global warming. B. Unusual climate change. C. A severe typhoon. D. Leaf-eating insects. 52. According to the passage, the next spring Japanese would expect to see _________cherry blossoms. A. even more B. relatively less C. some pale D. unusual D It doesn’t matter when and how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. That’s all doctors thought, until they heard about Al Herpin. Al Herpin, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves. Al Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every moment he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one. The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and read newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one would be sure. 53. The doctors came to visit Herpin, expecting _________. A. to cure him of his sleeplessness B. to find that his sleeplessness was not true C. to find out why some old people did not need any sleep D. to find a way to few people from the need of sleep 54. After watching him closely, the doctors came to believe that Al Herpin _________. A. needed some kind of sleep B. was too old to need any sleep C. needed any sleep at all D. often slept in a chair 55. One reason that might explain Herpin’s sleeplessness was _________. A. his mother’s injury before he was born B. that he had gradually got rid of sleeping habit C. his magnificent physical condition D. that he had not got a bed of his own 56. The passage mainly tells us __________. A. a large number of people do not need sleep B. A person was found who actually did not need any sleep C. everyone needs some sleep to stay alive D. people can live longer by trying not to sleep E In the last century, there have been revolutionary advances in our understanding of the body and in the development of life – saying medical tools, drugs, vaccines, and so on. However, accompanying the increase in abilities, medicine in the US has developed new problems. The first problem is the explosive increase in health care costs, which are now over $3,000 per person per year in the US. The main causes have been a sharp rise in hospital service costs and the increase of expensive medical malpractice law suits. The end result is that while we do pay $ 500 billion a year for insurance, some Americans have no medical care insurance, many are only partially covered. A second difficulty is that even though our country has enough physicians, they are poorly distributed. Suburban areas overflow with doctors; rural and inner city areas have far too few. A related imbalance is that there are too many medical specialists and not enough primary care doctors. One out of every 6 medical offices offers general and family care; the rest are specialists. The new technology itself is creating problems. For one thing, the dazzling new techniques raise the expectations of patients and their families to unrealistic levels, leading to heart-breaking disappointments and malpractice law suits. Medical progress has also led us into previously unexplored abilities. We can prolong life, but should we always do so? We can perform organ transplants, but is it right to remove organs taken from living donors? Soon we will need to decide if it is ethical to clone, to make duplicates, of human beings? 57. Which of the following is a true statement about American medicine? A. Most American do not have medical insurance. B. On average, Americans pay $ 3,000 in medical expenses each year. C. The medical insurance industry makes a profit of half a trillion dollars each year. D. Doctors are laving American cities in recorded numbers. 58. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a current American medical problem? A. Medical treatment has become very costly. B. We don not have doctors in many areas where they are needed. C. People believe medicine has almost miraculous power. D. We have to decide which people will be cloned. 59. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. It is more rewarding for a doctor to become a specialist. B. America needs to train more medical doctors. C. The insurance and legal industries are destroying American medicine. D. American doctors can avoid heart-breaking by returning to the basics. 60.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the underlined sentence? A. To discuss problems about doctors’ technology. B. To support the previous statement that doctors are distributed poorly. C. To provide a special example of medical specialist. D. to compare the poorly distribution of doctors in the US. 第二节 根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳答案。选项中有两项为多余选项。 — Good news!
