24、Section BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Most peop

25、le agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can't talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal expertsmay not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees ( 黑 猩 猩 ), behave dishonestly

26、to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird calledthe plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator （獵食動物） gets close to its nest, the plover leads the pred

27、ator away from the nest. How? It pretends tohave a broken wing. The predator follows the "hurt" adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury t

28、heir food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They don't make nests. Instead, they get into othe

29、r birds' nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps ar

30、e friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps le

31、arn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don't hear them, and they don't need to share their food.As children, many of us learn the saying "You can't fool Mother Nature." But maybe you can't trust her, either.66. A plover protects its young from a

32、predator by.A. pretending to be injuredB. driving away the adult predatorC. leaving its young in another nestD. getting closer to its young67. By " Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky" (paragraph 5), the author means.A. chimps are ready to attack othersB. chimps are jealous of the w

36、ing to teach basic reading,writing and math skills, and more.The childrendon't just plan any city.They map and analyze the housing, energy, and transportation requirements of their own district and predict its needs in 100 years. With the aid ofan architect who visits the classroom once a week,

37、they invent new ways to meet these needs and buildmodels oftheircreations. “ Designing buildingsofthe futuregives childrena lotof freedom,”says the teacher who developed this program. “ Theyare able to use their own rich imagination and inventions without fear of blame, because there are no wrong an

38、swers in a futurecontext. In fact, as the class enters the finalmodel-buildingstage of the program, an elected“ official” and“ planning group” makes all the design decisions for the model city, and the teacher steps back and becomes an adviser.”CBEP is a set of activities, games and imitationsthat t

42、ealth center rather than a site for observing stars or a temple in honor of the dead, scientists said yesterday. New evidence unearthedat the World Heritage Site in more than 40 years suggests that the monument was a place where the diseased and injured went in groups, seeking cures.After a two-week

43、 dig, scientists have concluded that Stonehenge was“ the ancient healthcarecentre of southern England ”because of the existence of “ bluestones-th”e smaller columns of dolerite （輝綠巖） that formed an earlier stone structure.By dating pieces of remains to around 7330BC, Tim Darvill, of Bournemouth Univ

44、ersity, and Goff Wainwright, of the Society of Amtiquaries have found that hunter-gatherers were at the siteon Salisbury Plain4,000 years earlierthan thought. The firststage ofStonehenge, a round earthwork structure, was built around3000BC. Professor Wainwright added:“ I did not expect thedegree of

45、complexity we discovered. We re able to say so much more about when Stonehenge wasbuilt and why- all of which changes our previous understanding of the monument.”The research reveals the importance of the henge s famous bluestones. Hundreds of bluestone chips gathered at the site have led the team t

46、o conclude that the bluestones were valued for theircuring effects-the key reason that about 80 of them, each weighing up to 4 tons and a half, were dragged more than 150 milesfromthe Preseli HillstoWiltshire.Afteryears ofresearch, Professors Darvilland Wainwrighthave concluded that, forthousands of

47、years, the Preseli mountain range was home to magical health centers and holy wells.Even today there are those who believe in the curing powers of the springs for coughs andheart disease, and people who use crystals and bluestones for self-curing. Radiocarbon tests have also revealed that the constr

48、uction of the originalbluestone circletook place around 2300BC,three centuries later than originally thought. Interestingly, on the same day died the“Archer ”-a sick traveler from the Swiss or German Alpswho had an infected knee-whose remains were discovered about five miles from Stonehenge. The pro

49、fessors believe that he was adevoted religious person who was hoping to benefit from the curing powers of the monument.74. Stonehenge is recently believed to be a place for people.A to recover from poor healthB to observe star movementsCto hold religious ceremoniesD to gather huge bluestones75. What

50、 can be inferred about Stonehenge from the passage?A The springs could cure coughs and heart disease best. BThe new discovery was the same as what had been expected.CSome huge bluestones were not produced at Stonehenge.D The original bluestone circle was thought to be constructed around 2000BC.76. T

51、he sick traveler in the passage is supposed to be.A a devoted religious person from Stonehenge Bone of the earliest discoverers of StonehengeCthe first explorer to test the magical power of bluestones D a patient trying to cure his infection at Stonehenge77. Which of the following might be the best

52、title for the passage?A Stonehenge: A New Place of InterestB Stonehenge: Still Making NewsCStonehenge: Heaven for AdventurersD Stonehenge: Still Curing PatientsSection CDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.More and m

53、ore corporations are taking an interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR).CSR is made up of three broad layers. The most basic is traditionalcorporate charitywork. Companies typicallyspend about 1% of pre-tax profits on worthy projects. But many feel that simply writing cheques to charities i

54、s no longer enough. In some companies, shareholders want to know that their money is being put to good use, and employees want to be actively involved ingood works.Money alone is not the answer when companies come under attack for their behavior. Hence the second layer of CSR, whichis a branch of ri

55、sk management. Starting in the 1980s, with environmental disasters such as the explosion at Bhopal and the Exxon Valdez oil spill, industry after industry has suffered blows to its reputation.So, companies often responded by trying to manage the risks. They talk to non-governmentalorganisations (NGO

56、s)and to governments, create codes ofconduct（行為準則 ) and devote themselves to more transparency （透明） in their operations. Increasingly, too. they, along with their competitors, set common rules to spread risks.All this is largely defensive, but there are also opportunities for those that get ahead of the game. The emphasis on opportunity is the third layer of CSR: the idea that it can help to create value. If approached in a strategic way, CSR could become part of a company's competitiveadvantage. That is jus
