    8．In 1943，when George Patton took over the duties of commander，he soon discovered that the discipline of the 2nd army was really poor．Then he gave the orders：all the officers and soldiers should be through with breakfast before 7：30； no one should be late for work in the morning； soldiers with moust ache should shave daily．He required that every soldier should wear the helmet and necktie．Patton also set up a punishment system．Officers would be fined 50 dollars and soldiers 25 dollars if they broke the rules．
    Patton's rigorous measures brought great shock to the whole army at once．Three days later，the 2nd army staff brought open their dislike of Patton and soldiers complained strongly because the arrival of Patton put an end to their comfortable life．But Patton ignored this．
    Further，he gave the order that"The military rank （军衔） should be shown on the helmet"．A senior colonel （上校） believed that this rule meant to provide a firing target for the enemy．He argued with Patton，"I often go to the battleground．If I were dead，I could no longer serve you and my soldiers．"
    Patton smiled after hearing that and said，"Colonel，get on my car and we'd have a tour on the front line．"When they reached there，the colonel found Patton's helmet，shoulders，collars and even the jeep all had three stars．As a result，the soldiers recognized the general in the jeep was Patton，so they laid down what was in the hand and stood at attention and showed respect to him，cheering．At this moment，Patton said to the colonel，"The soldiers depend on you leading them．They have to realize who their commander is．Commander ought to lead in front of the soldiers，even if it means to die．Then wear your military rank mark．"This colonel was completely convinced："You are correct，General．"
    Just one week later，Patton achieved obvious effect．This fact proved Patton's statement that he was able to make any army in high spirits in less than a week．

    28．What is the text mainly about？B
    A．Patton's great organizing abilities．
    B．Patton's effective management of army．
    C．Patton's courage shown in the battlefield．
    D．Patton's friendly relationship with soldiers．
    29．The underlined word"rigorous"in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to"A"．
    A．strict  B．simple   C．strange   D．effective
    30．At first，what was the colonel's attitude to Patton's rule about helmets？
    D
    A．Tolerant．  B．Doubtful．  C．Uncaring．  D．Dissatisfied．
    31．Why did Patton ask the colonel to go to the front with him？D
    A．To test the colonel's courage．
    B．To give the soldiers confidence．
    C．To show his power over the army．
    D．To explain the reasons for his rule．

    12．Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too？Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself？Well，apparently it's because we have mirror neurons （镜像神经元） in our brains．
    Put simply，the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something，our brains copy it，whether or not we actually perform the same action．This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile，talk，walk，dance or play sports．But the idea goes further：mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions，they also tell us that there is biological basis for the way we understand other people．
    Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains，but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages，and to understand how other people feel．Researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to （for example：The hand took hold of the ball），the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed （in this example，actually taking hold of a ball）．
    Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior．Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning．However，it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders．
    Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and communicate．Indeed，it may turn out to be the equivalent （相等物） for neuroscience of what Enstein's theory of relativity was for physics．And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does-well，perhaps you'll understand why．

    32．Mirror neurons can explainC．
    A．why we cry when we are hurt
    B．why we cough when we suffer from a cold
    C．why we smile when we see someone else smile
    D．why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late
    33．The underlined word"triggered"in Paragraph 3probably means"B"．
    A．broken upB．set ofC．built upD．cut off
    34．Which of the following statements is TRUE about mirror neurons？D
    A．They result in bad behavior and social disorders
    B．They control human physical actions and feelings
    C．They determine our knowledge and language abilities
    D．They relate to human behavior and communication
    35．What is the passage mainly about？B
    A．Existence of mirror neurons．
    B．Functions of mirror neurons．
    C．Ways to find mirror neurons．
    D．Problems of mirror neurons．

    2．The extraordinary Eastgate Building in Harare，Zimbabwe's capital city，is said to be the only one in the world to use the same cooling and heating principles as the termite mound（白蚁堆）．
    Architect Mick Pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the Eastgate Building，which has no air-conditioning and almost no heating．The building-the country's largest commercial and shopping complex-uses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size．The Eastgate's owners saved 3.5millionona36million building because an air-conditioning equipment didn't have to be imported．
    The complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady，glass-roofed atrium（天井） open to the air．Fans suck fresh air in from the atrium，blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through baseboard vents（通风口）．As it rises and warms，it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through forty-eight brick chimneys．
    During summer's cool nights，big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors．By day，smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building，to circulate the air which has been in contact with the cool floors．For winter days，there are small heaters in the vents．
    This is all possible only because Harare i 1600feet above sea level，has cloudless skies，little dampness and rapid temperature changes-days as warm as 31℃commonly drop to 14℃at night．"You couldn't do this in New York，with its hot summers and cold winters，"Pearce said．
    The engineering firm of Ove Arup&Partners monitors daily temperatures．It is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed etween 23℃and 25℃，with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summer rains in October and three days in November，when a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night．And the air is fresh-far more so than in air-conditioned buildings，where up to 30% of the air is recycled．

    29．Why was Eastgate cheaper to be built than a conventional building？B
    A．It was designed in a smaller size．
    B．No air conditioners were fixed in．
    C．Its heating system was less advanced．
    D．It used rather different building materials．
    30．What does"it"refer to in Paragraph 3？A
    A．Fresh air from outside．B．Heat in the building．
    C．Hollow space．D．Baseboard vent．
    31．Why would a building like Eastgate Not work efficiently in New York？D
    A．New York has less clear skies as Harare．
    B．Its dampness affects the circulation of air．
    C．New York covers a larger area than Harare．
    D．Its temperature changes seasonally rather than daily．
    32．The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgate's temperature control systemB．
    A．allows a wide range of temperatures
    B．functions well for most of the year
    C．can recycle up to 30% of the air
    D．works better in hot seasons．

    6．Many of the world's countries have reached or are approaching zero population growth （ZPG）．Nearly all such lands are economically well developed．They include much of Europe（including Russia），the United States，Canada，Japan．and Australia．As the rate of natural increase（RNI）declines（下降），two things happen．First，the population begins to decline if the loss is not balanced by immigration（移民）．Second，a country's population ages because there are fewer births．
    Is achieving ZPG good or bad？What happens when a country's population begins to drop？Many people，after all，believe that population decline is a good thing．But is it good for everyone？Does everyone agree？
    An aging population can create many problems．Senior citizens require more health care and medical attention．Rather than paying into retirement programs，they begin to draw from their pensions（退休金）．In the US，the Social Security program，according to many experts，will be used up by 2018．It will pay out more money than it takes in．Additionally，a great number of jobs go begging in search of people willing or entry level positions that pay low wages．With an ability to do them many of these jobs are aging population，who will fill them？At the other extreme，some positions require a large number of training and highly specialized skills．Who will fill these positions as retirees leave the workforce？
    The answer to the problem of declining and aging population is simple：increased migration（移居）．
    Today many people，particularly those from less developed countries，are migrating in search of employment．Many are willing to take jobs that cannot（or will not） be filled bythe domestic（国内的） population．Others are well educated and highly skilled．Both groups contribute to a country's economy progress in many ways．Further，they add to the richness of a country's culture．Of greatest importance，perhaps，is the fact that they have become absolutely（完全地）necessary to the economy of many lands．As you can see，for many countries and for most immigrants，migration is a win-win situation．

    29．In the writer's view，which of the following statements is TRUEA？
    A．Not everyone agrees that achieving ZPG is absolutely good
    B．Achieving ZPG is every country's aim（目标） in spite of its side effects
    C．Achieving ZPG is bad for senior citizens
    D．Achieving ZPG is good for employment
    30．According to the passage，the best way to solve the problem of declining and aging population isD．
    A．to improve the health care system
    B．to increase RNI
    C．to increase employment               
    D．to increase migration
    31．The main idea of the last paragraph isA．
    A．the advantages of increased migration
    B．the problem of declining and aging population
    C．how to increase migration
    D．some ways to enrich a country's culture．
