  At a few minutes past five, Dave noted that the blanket of darkness was lifting.He was just able to make out the heavier masses that eventually appeared as the familiar trees that lined the road at the base of the hill.The upper reaches of the sky showed lighter shades of gray.

  Dave got out of bed quietly and dressed quickly.He mixed a spoonful of instant chocolate into a glass of cold water, and his impatience forced him to finish the drink in gulps.

  As he walked down toward the lake, Dave paused to reach for the fishing pole and gear box on the bench where he had left them the night before.

  By the time he reached the small boat, a thick white mist(雾)had spread over the surface of the water.He stepped into the boat, sat down, and rowed out of the weed beds that lined the edge of the shore.

  The outer fringe(边缘)of the lake disappeared as the boat moved forward noiselessly.All he could see was the enveloping whiteness.He could not tell where the boat and the surrounding air met the surface of the lake.

  Dave rowed steadily ahead, relying on a mental picture of the surroundings.Then the mist began to rise, slowly.It soon rested inches above the still surface of the lake.The heavy silence was now being broken by the fish breaking through the surface as they leaped out of the water for low-flying insects.

  The magic time had arrived.Dave raised his pole.Dawn was broken.He was excited with expectancy.

(1)

Dave got up early in the morning to ________.

[  ]

enjoy the scene of the lake

  Visitors to Switzerland usually include Basel in their list of cities to visit. It has a population of over350 000, the majority of whom speak German. However, it is considered a kind of international city, because it stands at the point where three countries meet. Many visitors go to the place in the city where a small three side marker stays?   France on one side, Germany on another, and Switzerland on the third. The Rhine, which divides the city, becomes wide and deep enough just at this point for ships to sail all the way up to the North Sea. Basel is quite an old city, too, having risen five centuries ago. The University Basel was founded in 1860, and it is well-known today.

阅读理解:阅读下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳答案。 

    Animals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and   they do not eat more than their bodies need. It has been demonstrated   (证实) that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time,   prefer water with vitamins (维生素) to water without vitamins, even   though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water   bottles. When a fragrant flavor (香味) was added to the   vitamin—enriched liquid, the rats did seem to develop a taste for it   and kept drinking it, even after the vitamins were switched (转) to   the clear water. In time, however, they broke the habit and went back   to where the necessary vitamins were.

  

      In an experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a   cafeteria (自助食堂) with a wide selection of baby food before them.   They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested   in. We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating   patterns, but over a period of time they managed to select a well   balanced diet (饮食).

  

       So, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on   what's best for them. Clearly, there is a kind of "body wisdom" which   humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many   of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced (影   响) by long-established habits. Some people eat fox, dog and   blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how   much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on   around them.  

  

(1)In the experiment on rats, a fragrant flavor was added to the   rat's drinking water to ________.

[  ]

A. encourage rats to drink it     

B. find out what kind of flavor rats prefer     

C. test whether rats know which drink is with fragrant flavor     

D. demonstrate that vitamins are tasteless     

(2)The expression "the habit" in the first paragraph refers to   drinking water which __________.          

[  ]

A. has no smell   B. is tasteless

C. has vitamins   D. is flavored     

(3)As far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats   are similar (相似) because ___________.      

  

[  ]

A. both have the wisdom to choose a balanced diet     

B. both prefer flavored food and drink     

C. both have the same eating patterns     

D. both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavors     

(4)In the experiment mentioned in the second paragraph, babies   were _________.

A. given many choices of drinks     

B. provided with various kinds of baby food     

C. placed and fed in a cafeteria     

D. trained to select a balanced diet     

(5)According to the passage, adults' (成年人) eating habits differ   from those of babies because ____________.    

  

[  ]

A. adults know better than babies what kinds of food are good for their health     

B. adults usually cannot resist the temptation of various delicious foods     

C. adults' eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customs     

D. adults have more choices of food than babies in eating patterns
