    For many environmentalists, the world seems to be getting worse. They have developed a it-list of our main fears: natural resources are running out; the population  31  (grow), leaving less and less to eat? species are becoming  32  (extinction) in vast numbers, and the planet’s air and water are becoming dirty,  33  are ever more polluted.
    34  a quick look at the facts shows a different picture. First, energy and other natural resources have become more abundant not less so. Second,  35  food is now at any time in history. Third, although species are indeed becoming extinct, only about 0.7% of them are expected   36  (disappear) in the next 50 years, not 25~50%, as has so often been predicted. And finally, most forms of environmental pollution   37  appear to have been predicted, or are too short– associated  38  the early stages of industrialization.   39  bigger problem may well turn out to be an inappropriate response to it. yet opinion polls suggest that many people develop the   40  (believer)that environmental standards are declining and some factors seem to cause this disjunction.

    “Four Tigers” Ceremony of the Tu Minority
    Heigouding Village, Ledu County in the west of Qinghai province is a place where many people of the Tu minority have lived for centuries. As the little village is comparatively closed to the outside world, a custom called “Four Tigers” was created 200 years ago to protect its inhabitants(栖息地) from sickness and bad luck.
    Every year the ceremony is held on the eve of January 15th according to the Chinese lunar calendar to frighten off ghosts and evil souls, and to pray for peace.
    Normally four local villagers are selected to be the “tigers” in the ceremony. At first, they gathered with village elders at the mountain-god temple to offer sacrifices of wine, food and incense, and to ask the god to help the tigers. Then the tigers were adorned with herbs, candles and two batches of incense to serve as the tiger’s ears. Two red ribbons held in their mouths represented the tiger’s tongue. The “Tigers” drank wine, knelt and kowtowed to the mountain god before they received Hada, a kind of white silk scarf representing respects and good luck, from the village head with firecrackers crackling.
    As night fell, the candles on the tigers’ bodies were lit and the tigers began their visits to one household after another. Villagers followed, shouting “Tigers are coming!” The elder from each household welcomed the tigers at the gate, while the rest of the family knelt down in the courtyard. Firecrackers were set off, a toast made and candies, meat and wine were presented to the villagers following the tigers. After twirling (快速转动)in three circles in the courtyard while those present kowtowed and prayed, the tigers went through every corner of every room to drive away any hiding ghosts. If there was a sick person in the house, the tigers jumped around him or her, scratched their body and said lucky words to drive away diseases and ghosts. After the ceremony, the family would present wine and food to the tigers. Then, shouting “The tigers are leaving!” the whole family saw them off.
    After visiting all 30 or 40 households, the herbs were removed from the tigers and burned, to indicate that all the ghosts had been conquered. Then the villagers knelt and kowtowed with the sound of firecrackers, marking the end of the ceremony.
    The tiger image exists in other minority groups, also. In ancient times, people entrusted their happiness to gods. The “four tigers” ceremony is vividly held in memory of ancient times and a living fossil for academics studying the lives of ancient people. As it is not popular nowadays, this cultural heritage is on the edge of extinction and needs to be rescued.

    As you dash outdoors in the middle of winter, you might make it halfway down the block before realizing that your ears are freezing because you forgot your hat.
    Now, scientists have shown that even though you’ve had an apparent memory lapse(丧失), your brain never forgot what you should have done.
    Memory works mainly by association. For example, as you try to remember where you left your keys, you might recall you last had them in the living room, which reminds you that there was an ad for soap on television, which reminds you that you need soap, and so on. And then, as you’re heading out of the door to buy soap, you remember that your keys are on the kitchen counter. Your brain knew where the keys were all along. It just took a round-about way to get there.
    Now, scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies are studying associative memory in monkeys to figure out just how this complicated process works.
    First, the researchers trained a group of monkeys to remember arbitrary(任意的) pairs of symbols. The researchers showed the monkeys one symbol(cold weather) and then gave them the choice of two other symbols, one of which (a hat) would be associated with the first. A correct choice would earn them a sip of their favorite juice.
    Most of the monkeys performed the test perfectly, but one kept making mistakes.
    “We wondered what happened in the brain when the monkey made the wrong choice, although it apparently learned the right pairing of symbols,” said study leader Thomas Albright.
    Albright and his team observed signals from the nerve cells in the monkey’s inferior temporal cortex (ITC), an area of its brain used for visual pattern recognition and for storing this type of memory.
    As the monkey was deciding which symbol to choose, about a quarter of the activity in the ITC was due to the choice behavior.
    Meanwhile, more than half the activity was in a different group of nerve cells, which scientists believe represent the monkey’s memory of the correct symbol pairing, and surprisingly, these cells continued to fire even when the monkey chose the wrong symbol.
    “In this sense, the cells ‘knew’ more than the monkeys let on in their behavior,” Albright said. “Thus, behavior may vary, but knowledge endures.”
    57．The example of the keys and soap is given to explain the relationship between __________.
    A．memory lapse and human brain      B．memory and association
    C．memory and television ads         D．memory and our daily life
    58．Which of the following best expresses the general idea of the text?
    A．Your brain may forget something, but not always.
    B．Activity is a round-about way to memory.
    C．Your brain remembers what you forget.
    D．Monkeys have better memory than us.
    59．The researchers believe the monkey that made the wrong choice ________.
    A．also knew the correct answer         B．had the worst memory
    C．failed to see the objects well          D．had some trouble with its nerve system
    60．The underlined word “endures” may be best replaced by __________.
    A．disappears   B．increases       C．improves        D．remains

    Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all. It is said that our body movements communicate about 50% of what we really mean while words themselves only express 7%. So, while your mouth is closed, just what is your body saying…
    Arms.  71 If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way.  72 If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you’re unhappy.
    Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are monitor in class, you can take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously.   73 
    Legs. Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If you are at interviews, try to keep them still.
    Posture. A good posture makes you feel better about yourself.  74 This makes breathing more difficult, which in turn can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.
    Mouth. When you are thinking, you often purse (皱拢) your lips. You might also use this position to hold back all angry comment you don’t wish to show.    
      75  .
    A．If you are feeling down, you normally don’t sit straight, with your shoulders inwards.
    B．If you are pleased, you usually open your eyes wide and people can notice this.
    C．Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies.
    D．How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you meet.
    E.However, it will probably still be noticed, and people will know you’re not pleased.
    F.However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little to one side.
    G.Don’t say too much when you’re happy.

    While many young celebrities, especially pretty women, are unwilling to talk about their humble origins, Lu Yan is never too shy to talk about her hometown a small village in northern Jiangxi Province. Surrounded by high mountains, silver stone mining is the major source of wealth in the town where she was born in 1981. When she goes home to visit, she has to take a train from the provincial capital Nanchang for more than an hour, then change to a bus for another hour and a half.  
    Lu is the eldest of three siblings. "We broke the family planning policy, because village people always want a son," she said smiling. Lu wears clothes from big-name designers now, but when she was a child she often went several years without new clothes. "I grew tall so fast that my mother thought buying new clothes was wasteful," she said. She had no choice but to wear hand-me-downs from relatives. 
    Lu still remembers clearly her first "made to order" clothing. She picked cotton for a whole summer vacation and earned 90 yuan (US$11). She spent 6 yuan (US$0.70) to take a bus to the county where she asked a tailor to make a coat according to a design in a magazine. "At that time, I thought it was a very modern design," she said. It meant more to her than all the haute couture（高级时装设计）she owned later.
    When she graduated from middle school, the 16-year-old Lu was 1.78 metres high. She left for Nanchang to study accounting. "My parents thought the major would help me find a job," she said. She was self-conscious of her height and began walking hunched（拱背）over. "I always bowed. As I grew up, I started to know that my posture（姿势）was not good, so I attended a figure-building class," she said. Little did she know that it would lead her to a bright future.  
    64. The underlined word “humble” in Paragraph One means_______.
    A. rich         B. poor         C. bright          D. modern
    65. What does Lu Yan mean by referring to her first "made to order" clothing?
    A. Lu Yan made her coat to her own measure by herself.
    B. She thought it was a very interesting..
    C. She earned the money through her own hard work.
    D. It meant a lot to her and her future.
    66.Which of the following about Lu Yan isn’t mentioned in the passage? 
    A. Age.        B. Height.      C. Hometown.          D. Salary.
