15．--And it was the ship that brought you to England．-Yes．The fact is that I earned my passage by working as an unpaid hand，which（ 58）accounts （59）for my appearance．I went to the American embassy to seek help，but…（the brothers smile at each other．）

分析 --是这艘轮船把你带到英国．
--是的．事实上我靠做义工来顶替船费．这就是我为什么衣冠不整的原因了．我上美国大使馆求助，但是…（兄弟俩相顾而笑）．

解答答案是58．accounts 59．for；本题考查语境中选用恰当的词的适当形式．account for 解释…的原因，占据（比例）；根据语境，小说百万英镑的主人公Henry 向两名富翁解释自己衣冠不整的原因，关系词which指代上文一件事，是单数，故答案是accounts for．

点评单词填空必须在对语境整体理解的基础上抓住指向答案的关键线索、固定句型或搭配等，同时注意所选词的形式变化．

5．Scientists have long wondered what benefit zebras might get from their fancy black-and-white coats．Those stripes（条纹） may be most useful as protection from biting flies，a recent study concludes．
Biologists studied zebras and other closely related African animals．They tested five popular ideas about how the stripes might function．No evidence emerged to support most of these notions，Tim Caro told Science News．As a wildlife biologist，he works at the University of California，Davis．
  ①．Some scientists had proposed those stripes help zebras hide from predators，such as lions，or confuse them．Still others suggested that those stripes might offer some cooling or help the animals in forming social groups．
  ②．Instead，the stripes appear to help the animals avoid the bite of bloodthirsty flies．This finding supports some studies had found signs that flies prefer solids to stripes when hunting for a landing place．
  ③．To test all of the theories，Caro's group used geographic information．They looked at where in Africa the 20different types of animals belonging to the genus （类别） equus lived．Some of these equines（马科动物） have stripes，including zebras and asses（驴） with striped legs．Others are stripe-free．These include other asses and wild horses．
The scientists found no connection between stripes and whether the animals lived in woodsy areas．That suggests stripes don't camouflage（伪装） zebras in those places．
The scientists also saw no link between where striped animals lived and where lions hunted．In the studies，researchers found that lions ate plenty of zebras．The new observations suggest stripes don't confuse the predators．
The experts also looked for---and found---no evidence that stripes cool the zebras or help them recognize each another when forming social groups．
  ④．Striped animals often live in places where the environment is just right much of the year for biting flies to flourish．In those areas，horseflies，tsetse flies and other biting flies spread fatal diseases to zebras and horses．That connection now suggests stripes may help zebras reduce the number of bites and the infections they can spread．
The study doesn't answer how the zebra got its stripes in the first place，Caro admits．Science may never know．Inns Cuthill is a biologist at England's University of Bristol．He finds the new study"convincing"．Until now，Cuthill's favorite hypothesis had been that zebra stripes confused predators．It's too soon to say the mystery of the zebra's stripes has been solved，he notes．But he says that keeping flies away is now probably"the leading contender"．
59．According to the recent study，the stripes in zebras may be used toC．
A．offer some cooling when it is hot
B．help them hide from or confuse predators
C．protect themselves from being bitten by flies
D．help them in forming social groups
60．The missing sentence"None of those ideas make sense．"can be put inB．
A．①B．②C．③D．④
61．It can be inferred from the passage thatC．
A．the study answers how the zebra got its stripes
B．flies prefer solids to stripes when seeking a landing place
C．Cuthill now tends to believe the new theory
D．the mystery of the zebra's stripes will be solved soon
62．Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage？A
A．One Plus to Wearing Stripes
B．How Does Zebra Get Stripes
C．Mystery Solved
D．Zebra's Stripes．

6．Many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack，reduce loneliness and help control body weight．
Any pet owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings．For some，an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife．A 2002study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress levels and blood pressure in people （half of them were pet owners） while they performed 5minutes of mental arithmetic （算术） or held a hand in ice water．People completed the tasks alone，with a husband/wife，a close friend or with a pet．People with pets did it best．Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates．With pets in the room，people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions．It seems that people feel more relaxed around pets，says Allen，who thinks it may be because pets don't judge．
A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog may also have an effect on your body weight．Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying two groups of fat people who were put on a diet-and-exercise program：one group with pet dogs，and the other without．On average，dog owners lost about 11pounds，or 5% of their body weight； While those without dogs lost about 8pounds．The pet owners，said researchers，got more exercise overall （mostly with their dogs） and found it worth doing．
45．What does the text mainly discuss？C
A．People's opinions of keeping pets．
B．How pets help people calm down．
C．What pets bring to their owners．
D．Pets can help in medical research．
46．We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well ifA．
A．he has a pet companion
B．he has less stress of work
C．he often dose mental arithmetic
D．he is taken care of by his family
47．According to Allen，why did the people do better with pets around？A
A．They are less nervous．
B．They are in higher spirits．
C．They become more patient．
D．They have lower blood pressure．
48．The research mentioned in the last paragraph suggests thatA．
A．people with dogs did more exercise
B．dogs lost the same weight as people did
C．dogs liked exercise much more than people did
D．people without dogs found the program unhelpful．
