【题目】"Shark on the bait (诱饵) !" shouted Andre Harman, pointing to a spot a few yards behind the outboard motors. His voice gave no indication of panic, but the crew suddenly became tense and fixed their eyes on the water. Slowly, smoothly, Andre drew in the bait.The shark followed. No one asked what kind of shark it was. Everything about it, from its color to its shape, tells that it was a great white shark.

Andre lifted the bait aboard. Placing himself between the two motors, he dropped his right hand into the water just as the great head reached the first motor.“My goodness Andre!” I said. His hand seized the big nose, moving it away from the tube of the motor, guiding the shark's head up as it rose out of the water. Andre's hand held the nose, touching it gently. No one spoke. No one breathed. The moment seemed endless. In fact, it lasted less than five seconds before Andre pulled his hand back.

Still nobody spoke. Then Andre smiled and said: "The first time was an accident. I was just trying to move the shark away from the motor. Sharks are attracted to motors by r.heir electrical signals and have a habit of biting them to see if they are eatable. " Andre has worked with great white sharks for years. "My hand landed on its nose, and it sort of paused, so I kept it there, and when I did let go, the shark bit and bit as if it was searching for whatever it was that had attracted it."

Nearly every encounter (遭遇) we had had with the great whites had been totally illogical. The more we learned, the more we realized how little was really known about them in the past years. Back then, it was generally accepted that great whites ate people by choice. Now we know that almost every attack on a human is an accident in which the shark mistakes a human for its normal food. Back then, we thought that once a great white smelt blood, it would lead to death. Now we know that nearly three-quarters of bite victims survive, perhaps because the shark recognizes that is has made a mistake and doesn't return for a second bite.

【1】The author said, "My goodness! Andre ! " when ________

A.Andre was about to fall into the water

B.Andre was about to touch the shark

C.Andre was followed by the shark

D.Andre was bitten by the shark

【2】B

【3】D

【解析】

试题分析:本文讲的是安德烈与一条鲨鱼的故事,安德烈去抚摸鲨鱼,但是没有被鲨鱼攻击,与人们的对鲨鱼的印象不符合,作者由此得到了感悟,本文具有教育意义。

【1】B细节理解题。根据Andre's hand held the nose, touching it gently.安德烈的手轻轻地抚摸着它,可知作者说,“我的天!安德烈!”是因为安德烈去摸那条鲨鱼,故选B。

【2】B推理判断题,根据最后一段Now we know that nearly three-quarters of bite victims survive, perhaps because the shark recognizes that is has made a mistake and doesn't return for a second bite可知作者认为与鲨鱼的遭遇是有教育意义的,故选B。

【3】D推理判断题。根据because the shark recognizes that is has made a mistake and doesn't return for a second bite.因为鲨鱼意识到犯了一个错误,没有再咬第二次,可知大部分遭遇鲨鱼攻击生还的人是因为鲨鱼停止了攻击。故选D。

【题目】“Mind over matter” is an English saying meaning that we can control our bodies with our minds. Now scientists are finding increasing evidence that our mind can have a great effect on our physical health. Since our mind influences how we feel, it’s not true to say if someone is ill just because he feels ill.

The influence of the mind on how well we feel is the basis of what is known as the placebo effect. A placebo (which is Latin for “I shall please”) is a harmless, inactive substance. Patients are sometimes given placebo pills and begin to feel better because they believe that they have been given real drugs and expect to respond to them. The placebo effect is very strong: research on pain suggests that up to 30% of the effect of most painkillers is a placebo effect.

So if it is so powerful, why don’t doctors use it today?

According to Dr Persaud, they really do. “All these things like seeing a doctor, going to a hospital, and being scanned(扫描) have a very strong placebo effect,” he says.

【1】According to the first paragraph, if you feel ill.

A. you don’t need to see a doctor

B. it doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re physically ill

C. you are in good condition

D. it is obvious that you suffer from a serious disease

【2】The English saying “mind over matter” means that .

A. a sound mind is less important than a good health

B. our mind has a strong effect on our body

C. our physical health has nothing to do with our mind

D. mental health mainly depends on our physical health

【3】According to the passage, placebos .

A. may make patients feel worse

B. are not effective pills

C. are not real drugs

D. can relieve all kinds of pains

【4】From the passage it can be seen that there will be no placebo effect if a patient .

A. is dressed in white B. has a physical exam

C. takes placebo pills D. sees a doctor
