Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by somequestions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the AnswerSheet with a single line through the center. Passage One
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
We sometimes think humans are uniquely vulnerable to anxiety, but stress seems toaffect the immune defenses of lower animals too. In one experiment, for example, behavioralimmunologist (免疫学家)Mark Laudenslger, at the University of Denver, gave mild electricshocks to 24 rats. Half the animals could switch off the current by turning a wheel in theirenclosure, while the other half could mot. The rats in the two groups were paired so that eachtime one rat turned the wheel it protected both itself and its helpless partner from the shock. Laudenslager found that the immune response was depressed below normal in the helplessrats but not in those that could turn off the electricity. What he has demonstrated, he believes, is that lack of control over an event, not the experience itself, is what weakens the immunesystem.
Other researchers agree. Jay Weiss, a psychologist at Duke University School of Medicine, has shown that animals who are allowed to control unpleasant stimuli don't develop sleepdisturbances or changes in brain chemistry typical of stressed rats. But if the animals areconfronted with situations they have no control over, they later behave passively when facedwith experiences they can control. Such findings reinforce psychologists' suspicions that theexperience or perception of helplessness is one of the most harmful factors in depression.
One of the most startling examples of how the mind can alter the immune responsewas discovered by chance. In 1975 psychologist Robert Ader at the University of RochesterSchool of Medicine conditioned (使形成条件反射)mice to avoid saccharin (糖
精)bysimultaneously feeding them the sweetener and injecting them with a drug that whilesuppressi
ng their immune systems caused stomach upsets. Associating the saccharin with thestomach pains, the mice quickly learned to avoid the sweetener. In order to extinguish thisdislike for the sweetener, Ader reexposed the animals to saccharin, this time without thedrug, and was astonished to find that those mice that had received the highest amounts ofsweetener during their earlier conditioning died. He could only speculate that he had sosuccessfully conditioned the rats that saccharin alone now served to weaken their immunesystems enough to kill them.
11.Laudenslager's experiment showed that the immune system of those rats who could turnoff the electricity ______. A) was strengthened B) was not affected C) was altered D) was weakened
12.According to the passage, the experience of helplessness causes rats to ______. A) try to control unpleasant stimuli B) turn off the electricity
C) behave passively in controllable situations D) become abnormally suspicious
13.The reason why the mice in Ader's experiment avoided saccharin was that ______ . A) they disliked its taste
B) it affected their immune systems C) it led to stomach pains
D) they associated it with stomachaches
14.The passage tells us that the most probable reason for the death of the mice in Ader'sexperiment was that ______ .
A) they had been weakened psychologically by the saccharin B) the sweetener was poisonous to them
C) their immune systems had been altered by the mind
D) they had taken too much sweetener during earlier conditioning
15.It can be concluded from the passage that the immune systems of animals ______. A) can be weakened by conditioning B) can be suppressed by drug injections
C) can be affected by frequent doses of saccharin D) can be altered by electric shocks Passage Two
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:
The destruction of our natural resources and contamination of our food supply continueoccur, largely because of the extreme difficulty in affixing(把…固
定)legal responsibility on thosewho continue to treat our environment with reckless abandon(放任).Attempts to preventpollution by legislation, economic in-centives and friendly persuasion have been net bylawsuits, personal and industrial denial and long delays-not only in accepting responsibility, butmore importantly, in doing something about it.
It seems that only when government decides it can afford tax incentives or productionsacrifices is there any initiative for change. Where is industry's and our recognition thatprotecting mankind's great treasure is the single most important responsibility? If ever therewill be time for environmental health professionals to come to the frontlines and provideleadership to solve environmental problems, that time is now.
We are being asked, and, in fact ,the public is demanding that we take positive action. Itis our responsibility as professionals in environmental health to make the difference. Yes, theecologists, the environmental activists and the conservationists serve to communicate, stimulate thinking and promote behavioral change. However, it is those of us who are paid tomake the decisions to develop, improve and enforce environmental standards, I submit, whomust lead the charge.
We must recognize that environmental health issues do not stop at city limits, countylines, state or even federal boundaries. We can no longer afford to be tunnel - visioned in ourapproach. We must visualize issues from every perspective to make the objective decisions. We must express our views clearly to prevent media distortion and public confusion.
I believe we have a three - part mission for the present. First, we must continue to press forimprovements in the quality of life that people can make for themselves. Second, we mustinvestigate and understand the link between environment and health. Third, we must beable to communicate technical information in a form that citizens can understand. If we canaccomplish these three goals in this decade, maybe we can finally stop environmentaldegradation, and not merely hold it back. We will then be able to spend pollution dollars trulyon prevention rather than on bandages.
16.We can infer from the first two paragraphs that the industrialists disregard environmentalprotection chiefly because ______.
A) they are unaware of the consequences of what they are doing B) they are reluctant to sacrifice their own economic interests C) time has not yet come for them to put due emphasis on it D) it is difficult for them to take effective measures
17.The main task now facing ecologists, environmental activists and conservationists is ______. A) to prevent pollution by legislation, economic incentives and persuasion B) to arouse public awareness of the importance of environmental protection C) to take radical measures to control environmental pollution D) to improve the quality of life by enforcing environmental standards
18. The word “tunnel - visioned” (Line 2, Para.4) most probably means“______ ”. A) narrow - minded B) blind to the facts C) short - sighted
D) able to see only one aspect
19.Which of the following, according to the author, should play the leading role in the solutionof environmental problems?
A) Legislation and government intervention. B) The industry's understanding and support.
C) The efforts of environmental health professionals.
D) The cooperation of ecologists, environmental activists and conservationists. 20. Which of the following is true according to the last paragraph?
A) Efforts should be exerted on pollution prevention instead of on remedial measures. B) More money should be spent in order to stop pollution.
C) Ordinary citizens have no access to technical information on pollution. D) Environmental degradation will be stopped by the end of this decade. Passage Three
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
British universities, groaning under the burden of a huge increase in student numbers, arewarning that the tradition of a free education is at risk.The universities have threatened toimpose an admission fee on students to plug a gap in revenue if the government does not actto improve their finances and scrap some public spending cutbacks.
The government responded to the universities' threat by setting up the most fundamemtalreview of higher education for a generation, under a non - party troubleshooter(调停人)，Sir RonDearing.
One in three school - leavers enters higher education, five times the number when the lastreview took place thirty years ago. Everyone agrees a system that is feeling the strain afterrapid expansion needs a lot more money - but there is little hope of getting it from thetaxpayer and not much scope for attracting more finance from business.
Most colleges believe students should contribute to tuition costs ,something that iscommon elsewhere in the world but would mark a revolutionary change in Britain. Universitieswant the government to introduce a loan scheme for tuition fees and have suspended theirown threatened action for now. They await Dearing's advice, hoping it will not be too late - some are already reported to be in financial difficulty.
As the century nears its end, the whole concept of what a university should be is under themicroscope. Experts ponder how much they can use computers instead of classrooms, talk ofthe need for lifelong learning and refer to students as “consumers.” The Confederation(联
盟)of British Industry, the key employers' organization, wants evenmore expansion in higher education to help fight competition on world markets frombooming Asian economies. But the government has doubts about more expansion. The Timesnewspaper egress, complaining that quality has suffered as student numbers soared, withclose tutorial supervision giving way to “mass production methods more typical of Europeanuniversities.”
21. The chief concern of British universities is ______ . A) how to tackle their present financial difficulty
B) how to expand the enrollment to meet the needs of enterprises C) how to improve their educational technology
D) how to put an end to the current tendency of quality deterioration
22. We can learn from the passage that in Britain ______ . A) the government pays dearly for its financial policy B) universities are mainly funded by businesses C) higher education is provided free of charge
D) students are ready to accept loan schemes for tuition
23. What was the percentage of high school graduates admitted to universities in Britain thirtyyears ago?
A) 20% or so. B) About 15%. C) Above 30%. D) Below 10%.
24. It can be inferred from the passage that _______ .
A) the British government will be forced to increase its spending on higher education B) British employers demand an expansion in enrollment at the expense of quality C) the best way out for British universities is to follow their European counterparts D) British students will probably have to pay for their higher education in the near future 25. Which of the following is the viewpoint of the Times newspaper?
A) Expansion in enrollment is bound to affect the quality of British higher education. B) British universities should expand their enrollment to meet the needs of industry. C) European universities can better meet the needs of the modern world. D) British universities should help fight competition on world markets. Passage Four
Question 26 to 30are based on the following passage:
There's simple premise behind what Larry Myers does for a living: If you can smell it, youcan find it.
Myers is the founder of Aubum University's Institute for Biological Detection Systems, themain task of which is to chase the ultimate in detection devices - an artificial nose.
For now, the subject of their research is little more than a stack of gleaming chips tuckedaway in a laboratory drawer. But soon, such a tool could be hanging from the belts of police, arson(纵火)investigators and food - safety inspectors.
The technology that they are working in would suggest quite reasonably that, within threeto five years, we'll have some workable sensors ready to use. Such devices might find wide usein places that attract terrorists. Police could detect drugs, bodies and bombs hidden in cars, while food inspectors could easily test food and water for contamination.
The implications for revolutionary advances in public safety and the food industry areastonishing. But so, too ,are the possibilities for abuse; Such machines could determinewhether a woman is ovulating(排卵),without a physical exam - or even her knowledge.
One of the traditional protectors of American liberty is that is has been impossible to searcheveryone. That's getting not to be the case.
Artificial biosensors created at Auburn work totally differently from anything ever seenbefore. Aroma Scan, for example, is a desktop machine based on a bank of chips sensitive tospecific chemicals that evaporate into the air. As air is sucked into the machine, chemicalspass over the sensor surfaces and produce changes in the electrical current flowing throughthem. Those current changes are logged into a computer that sorts out odors based on theirelectrical signatures.
Myers says they expect to load a single fingernail - size chip with thousands of odorreceptors(感受器)， enough to create a sensor that's nearly as sensitive as a dog's nose.
26. Which of the following is within the capacity of the artificial nose being developed? A) Performing physical examinations. B) Locating places which attract terrorists. C) Detecting drugs and water contamination. D) Monitoring food processing.
27.A potential problem which might be caused by the use of an artificial nose is _______ . A) negligence of public safety B) an abuse of personal freedom C) a hazard to physical health D) a threat to individual privacy
28.The word “logged” (Line 5, Para. 7)most probably means“______ ”. A) preset B) entered C) processed D) simulated
29. To produce artificial noses for practical use, it is essential ______ . A) to develop microchips with thousands of odor receptors B) to invent chips sensitive to various chemicals C) to design a computer program to sort out smells
D) to find chemicals that can alter the electrical current passing through 30. The author's attitude towards Larry Myers' works is ______ . A) cautious B) approving C) suspicious D) overenthusiastic

Reading electively or Extensively?
Knowledge is power. Everybody knows it. the main way for us students to gain knowledgeis from the books. So some students argue that we should read extensively in order to knowsomething about everything, thus broadening our knowledge and enriching experience.
As books are of different kinds and have different content, so some students argue that weshould read selectively, that is to read those book which are of benefits both to our mind andbody and dismiss those which are of no good to us.
As far as I am concerned, I think we should selectively do extensive reading. Knowledge is limitless while life is short. So we should make full use of our time to do the mosteffective reading and make the greatest to our motherland. 1999年6月大学英语六级考试听力材料 Section A 1.
