David, a French priest (牧师)of thirty-six, was sent to China by the church in 1872. He did well in the natural and social science besides his religious activities (宗教活动). He was also very interested in the rare wild animals and plants in China.

On May 4th ,1879, after searching for half a month in the western part of Baoxing, Sichuan the hunters hired (雇用) by David succeeded in bringing him a “black-and-white bear”. “The bear is extremely lovely”, he wrote in his diary excitedly. Meanwhile, he felt it might be a new species (物种)never discovered by scientists.

He then decided to send it to Paris for a further study. Unfortunately the poor “black-and white” bear died of Jolts (颠簸) of the mountain roads and the climatic (气候) change. He had to send its pelt (皮毛)to the National Museum in Paris for display (展览). In fact, the so-called “black-and white” bear was neither a bear nor a cat. After a complete study, Milla Edwards, head of the museum, judged that it was a new species. He gave the “giant panda”.

The discovery made the world excited and Baoxing was also made famous for “home of the giant panda”

1From the passage we can see that David mainly came to China to     .

A. learn Chinese science and history

B. look for a panda for church

C. do something on religion (宗教)

D. study the wild animals and plants in China

2The word “rare” in this passage means     .

D. running very fast

3The first giant panda was caught     .

4. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?

A. The giant panda died when it was on display.

B. David had never seen a giant panda before.

C. Milla was sure the animal was neither a bear nor a cat.

D. The discovery made the world excited with interest

 

答案:1C2A3B4A
解析:

1.      根据第一段可知,他来中国主要是为了进行与宗教有关的活动。

2.      Rare是“稀有的、珍稀”的意思,而且可以根据全文进行推测,故选A。

3.      根据第二段可知,那些猎人是很偶然的抓到大熊猫的。

4.      Unfortunately the poor “black-and white” bear died of Jolts (颠簸) of the mountain roads and the climatic (气候) change.根据这句可知,大熊猫是在路上死的,所以A错误。

When Dr David Weeks,a clinical neuro-psychologist at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital in Scotland.wanted to look into the secrets of eternal(永久的) youth ,he advertised for subjects who looked younger than their age.An independent panel examined photographs of respondents,and selected 3,500 people who looked on average l2 to 14 years younger than their actual age to take part in the study.

These subjects were studied for eight years.The main aim of the study was to discover whether environment or heredity had more effect on the ageing process.The conclusion was that genetic programming is the main factor.But the study also showed that avoiding stress can slow down the ageing process.

78.________________

Stress seems to have an immediate effect on appearance.A separate study of middle-aged women showed that women suffering form serious stress looked older in just a few months.Yet when the problem causing the stress was removed,they very quickly looked younger.

79.________________

Here is a list of the factors that Dr.Weeks found that allowed his subjects to lead less stressful lives than others.First,they tend to have happy relationships with their partners.These relationships are based on trust and empathy,and provide security and comfort when dealing with stressful problems.Secondly,they tended to avoid sources of hostility instead of allowing them to make them angry.

80.________________

Next, they seem to have a good sense of humor.They like to have fun,and are enthusiastically involved in a variety of hobbies.They also seemed less willing to conform to others’ ideas.They prefer to think for themselves.They tend to have a good attitude towards health and exercise as well.They avoid the sun,do not smoke, and eat a healthy diet.
