Why does a woman have the last (and longest) laugh? The answer is that women enjoy a joke more once they get it. If you tell a woman a joke and get a blank look, don’t 41 despair. She’s just taking her time to understand it. But if the punchline（妙语）does eventually make her laugh it will be 42 the wait.
Scientists have found that while women are slower than men at getting jokes, they enjoy them more when they truly understand. Research shows that women use their brain more than men to process witty 43 and have less expectation that they will be funny.
When a joke does hit the right 44 , however, women derive more pleasure from it. Scientists asked ten men and ten women to look at dozens of black and white cartoons and rate them on a “funniness scale”. During the process they underwent sophisticated scans that mapped which parts of their brain were lighting up and timed how long it took them to 45 to a joke. The women tended to use 46 parts of their brain. Professor Allan Reiss said: “We found greater activity in the parts of their brain in women, showing women are processing stimuli that 47 language areas of the brain.”
The 48 of a “feelgood” brain region also revealed that men and women have different attitudes to humour. Experts said: “Women appeared to have less expectation of a rewar d. So they were more pleased about it.” The funnier the cartoon, the more the women’s parts of their brain lit up. This was not the case for men. The women took 49 longer than the men to react to jokes that were funny — but were quicker to spot the “truth”.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
People with a positive attitude toward aging can adjust very well when individual circumstances change. Their positive outlook allows them to 50 to the inevitable physical and biochemical changes of the body that are associated with the natural 51 of aging. With a healthy outlook on the golden years, even unpredictable setbacks and disabilities can be managed 52 .
Individual genetic makeup (基因构造) explains the great 53 in the aging rate. Some seniors experience more challenges than others of the same age, and some seniors continue to function better than many younger people. But genetics only 54 about 30 percent of aging. Most of the changes we associate with age 55 factors such as diet and exercise habits; lifestyle issues, including over 56 of alcohol and tobacco, and psychological traits.
We can make healthy lifestyle choices by sta ying 57 both physically and mentally and by 58 a healthy diet. Some of the setbacks associated with advancing age such as 59 eyesight, loss of hearing, forgetfulness, weakness can be forestalled with some active intervention （干预）.
G rowing older does not always mean you see poorly. Many older people have 60 good eyesight well into their eighties and beyond. However, the single greatest contributor to vision loss is a lifetime of 61 to damaging ultraviolet (紫外线) radiation in sunlight.
Carotenoids（类胡萝卜素）, a nutrient found in brightly colored vegetables and fruits, are powerful protectors against free-radical damage. Research shows that simply eating leafy greens and other foods rich in these protective nutrients can 62 vision loss.
Problems with hearing can create 63 and insecurity in later years. One of the major causes of age-related hearing loss is damage to the hair cells in the inner ear that transmit sounds to the brain. These hair cells and their nerve endings can be damaged by infections, genetic diseases, or treatment with certain drugs. The most common cause, 64 , is loud noise.

Section B
Directions: 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)
From snow-clogged mountain roads to desert highways, freeways to crowded city streets, Californians face a variety of tough driving conditions. But thanks to savvy driving, they consume proportionately less gasoline the rest of the nation. Here, some tips from the Golden State that will help drivers all over the country to get up to 25% more miles per gallon! By SUSAN NESTOR
FREEW AY FRENZY
●Try to maintain a steady speed — especially on freeways and expressways. Never exceed a
steady 55 mph. Varying speed by as little as 5mph can reduce mileage by 1.5 miles per gallon.
Avoid constant lane changes to “get ahead.”
●Buy radial tyres. If you do a lot of expressway driving, they can increase mileage by as much as 10%. Your fuel savings will pay for the higher tyre price.
ON CITY STREETS
● Plan your route. City driving consumes about 50% more fuel than highway driving (100% more in crowed traffic). Always choose a route with synchronized traffic signals to get the best run for your money.
● Avoid unnecessary braking. Anticipate（预期）traffic light changes; it takes a lot of extra gas to get the car up to speed again.
COLD
●In winter, keep the car in a garage. It will start up easier, and start-up time is when you use the most gasoline. No garage? Cover the engine compartment with an old blanket or rug to shield it from cold winds; remove before starting up.
●Remove all ice and snow.Driving in snow consumes more gas anyway; no sense hauling around extra weight.
65. All these above are ______ for drivers.
A. notices
B. tips
C. lessons
D. advertisements
66. Highway driving can use about ______ fuel than city driving.
A. 20% more
B. 20% less
C. 50% more
D. 50% less
67. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. In winter, you will have difficulty starting up a car if it is kept in a garage.
B. Drivers should avoid necessary breaking and constant lane changes.
C. A steady 65 mph is the ideal speed to save gasoline.
D. Radial tyres can help increase mileage in expressway driving.
(B)
Martin Luther King, Jr., is well known for his work in civil rights and for his many famous speeches, among them his moving “I Have a Dream” speech. But few people know much about King’s childh ood, Martin Luther as he was called was born in 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia, at the home of his maternal grandfather. Martin Luther’s grandfather, the Reverend A.D. Williams, purchased their home on Auburn Avenue in 1909, 28 years before Martin Luther was born. The Reverend A.D. Williams, an eloquent speaker, played an important role in the community because so many people’s lives centered around the church. He allowed his church and his home to be used as a meeting place for a number of organizations dedicated to the education and social advancement of blacks. Martin Luther grew up in this atmosphere, with his home being used as community gathering place, and was no doubt influenced by it.
Martin Luther’s childhood was not especially memorable. His father wa s a minister and his mother was a musician. He was the second of three children, and he attended all-black schools in a black neighbourhood. The neighbourhood was not poor, however, Auburn Avenue was the main artery through a prosperous neighbourhood that he had come to symbolize achievement for Atlanta’s black people. It was area of banks, insurance companies, builders, jewelers, tailors, doctors, lawyers and other black-owned or black-operated businesses and services. Even in the face of Atlanta’s segrega tion (种族隔离), district thrived. Dr. King never forgot the community spirit he had known as a child, nor did he forget the racial prejudice（歧视）that was a seemingly insurmountable barrier that kept black Atlantans from mingling with whites.
68. This passage mainly gives an account of ______.
A. the prejudice that existed in Atlanta
B. Martin Luther’s grandfather
C. Martin Luther King’s childhood
D. the neighbourhood where King grew up
69. According to the author, King was influenced by ______.
A. community spirit
B. black lawyer
C. his mother
D. his grandfather’s speeches
70. The word “mingling” in paragraph 2 is the closest in meaning to ______.
A. interfering
B. consuming
C. associating
D. meeting
71. This passage tells us that Martin Luther King, Jr. ______.
A. had a difficult childhood
B. was a good musician when he was a boy
C. loved to listen to his grandfather speak
D. grew up in a relatively rich area of Atlanta
(C)
A weather map is an important tool for geographers. A succession of three or four maps presents a continuous picture of weather changes. Weather forecasters are able to determine the speed of air masses and fronts（冷暖空气团接触的锋）to determine whether an individual pressure area is deepening or becoming shallow and whether a front is increasing or decreasing in intensity. They are also able to determine whether an air mass is retaining its original characteristics or taking on those of the surface over which it is moving. Thus, a most significant function of the map is to reveal a synoptic picture of conditions in the atmosphere at a given time.
All students of geography should be able to interpret a weather map accurately. Weather maps contain an enormous amount of information about weather conditions existing at the time of
observation over a large geographical area. They reveal in a few minutes what otherwise would take hours to describe. The United States Weather Bureau issues information about approaching storms, floods, frosts, drought s, and all climatic conditions in general. Twice a month it issues a 30-day “outlook” which is a rough guide to weather conditions likely to occur over broad areas of the United States. These 30-day outlooks are based upon an analysis of the upper air levels which often set the stage for the development of air masses, fronts, and storms.
Considerable effort is being exerted today to achieve more accurate weather predictions. With the use of electronic instruments and earth satellites, enormous gains have taken place recently in identifying and tracking storms over regions which have but few meteorological stations (气象站). Extensive experiments are also in progress for weather modification（改变）studies. But the limitations of modification have prevented meteorological results except in the seeding of super-cooled, upslope mountainous winds which have produced additional orographic (山岳形态的) precipitation on the windward side of mountain ranges. Nevertheless, they have provided a clearer understanding of the fundamentals of weather elements.
72. By reading weather maps, students majoring in geography can .
A. design a project of weather modification
B. interpret the weather condition before the time of observation
C. obtain data on atmospheric conditions over a wide area
D. survey ever-changing fronts in local meteorological stations
73. A thirty-day forecast is determined by examining .
A. daily weather maps
B. upper air levels
C. satellite reports
D. changing fronts
74. The observation of weather conditions by satellites is advantageous because ______.
A. electronic instruments are used
B. it enables man to alter the weather
C. it makes weather prediction more time-consuming
D. information not obtained readily otherwise can be gained
75. At the present time, experiments are being conducted in .
A. controlling and influencing weather
B. determining density of pressure groups
C. 30-day “outlooks”
D. predicting storms
Section C
Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
A. The power and habit of thinking
B. The value of previous education
C. The correctness in using mother tongue
D. The development of an educated man
E. The possession of gratitude
F. Refined and natural manners
76.
The first characteristic of an educated man is the precision of the use of the native language. When one hears English well spoken, with pure diction, correct pronunciation, and an almost unconscious choice of the right word, he recognizes it at once. How much easier he finds it to imitate English of the other sort.
77.
When manners are artificial and forced, no matter what their form, they are bad manners. When, however, they are the natural expression of fixed habits of thought and action, and when they reveal a refined and cultivated nature, they are good manners. There are certain things that gentlemen do not do, and they do not do them simply because they are bad manners.
78.
Human beings for the most part live wholly on the surface or far beyond the present moment and that part of the future that is quickly to follow it. They do not read those works of prose and poetry which have become classic because they reveal power and habit of reflection and induce that power and habit in others. When one reflects long enough to ask the question how? He is on the way to knowing something about science.
79.
An educated man continues to grow and develop from birth to his dying day. His interests expand, his contacts multiply, his knowledge increases, and his reflection becomes deeper and wider. It would appear to be true that not many human beings, even those who have had a school and college education, continue to grow after they are twenty-four or twenty-five years of age. By that time it is usual to settle down to life on a level of more or less contented intellectual interest and activity. The whole present-day movement for adult education is a systematic and definite attempt to keep human beings growing long after they have left school and college, and therefore, to help educate them.
80.
The more visionary dreamer, however charming or however wise, lacks something that an education requires. The power to do may be exercised in any one of a thousand ways, but when it clearly shows itself,that is evidence that the period of discipline of study and of companionship with parents and teachers has not been in vain.
SectionＤ
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
Exceptional children are different in some significant ways from others of the same age. For these children to develop to their full adult potential, their education must be adapted to those differences.
Although we focus on the needs of exceptional children, we find ourselves describing their environment as well. While the leading actor on the stage captures our attention, we are aware of the importance of the supporting players and the scenery of the play itself. Both the family and the society in which exceptional children live are often the key to their growth and development. And it is in the public schools that we find the full expression of society’s understanding —the knowledge, hopes, and fears that are passed on to the next generation.
Education in any society is a mirror of that society. In that mirror we can see the strengths, the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the central values of the culture itself. The great
interest in exceptional children shown in public education over the past three decades indicates the strong feeling in our society that all citizens, whatever their special conditions, deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities.
“All men are created equal,” we heard it many times, but it still has important meaning for education in a democratic society. Although the phrase was u sed by this country’s founders to indicate equality before the law, it has also been interpreted to mean equality of opportunity. That concept implies educational opportunity for all children — the right of each child to receive help in learning to the limits of his or her capability, whether that capability is small or great. Recent court decisions have confirmed the right of all children — disabled or not — to an appropriate education, and have ordered that public schools take the necessary steps to provide that education. In response, schools are modifying their programs, adapting instruction to children who are exceptional, to those who cannot profit substantially from regular programs.
（Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.）
81. This passage is concerned primarily with the necessity of adapting ________________.
82. What affects the growth of exceptional children according to the author?
83. People have shown great interest in the education of exceptional children over the last three
decades because they believe that ________________________________________.
84. According to the passage, what does “All men are created equal” mean to the country’s
founders?

Paul Railton, 23, was seen driving at 5mph along a country lane in County Durham, dragging a dog along from a car. A policeman explained to him the dangers to the other road users. Due to the narrow road there was no area for other cars to pass. Railton was told to put the dog in the
back of the car and was allowed to go, but five days later police turned up at his home to charge him.
Railton said: "I accept it wa s a silly thing to do and there was an element of laziness. I don’t usually drive in such a manner."
The court confirmed that Railton, who is unemployed, was fined ￡66 and ordered to pay ￡43 costs.
He had three penalty points added to his license and, because he already had nine points, this meant he was banned from driving for six months.
Questions:
14.What’s the danger of Railton’s behavior?(A)
15.What did the policeman do on the scene?(C)
16.What can we learn about Railton?(B)
Section C Longer Conversations
Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
W: Good morning, sir.
M: Good morning. I’d like to make an appointment with Dr. Pane.
W: He’s on vacation until the 20th. Is it an emergency?
M: Yes. What other doctors are on duty today?
W: Dr. Pilz and Dr. Blud.
M: Is Dr Pilz available this afternoon?
W: Yes, we have an opening at 2:45.
M: That will be fine.
W: What are your symptoms?
M: I went to Brazil on business two weeks ago and came back home yesterday. In the past week, I’ve gained some weight, I’m tired, and I feel sick to my stomach a lot.
W: Have you experienced any vomiting?
M: Mostly in the mornings.
W: Ok, I’ll let him know. Can you confirm your name with me?
M: Yes, it’s Michelle. M-I-C-H-E-L-L-E. Burns. B-U-R-N-S.
W: And your phone number please?
M: It’s 8-3-5-2-1-5-6-7.
W: So, that’s Michelle Burns at 83521567?
M: Yes.
W: Do you still have the Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance?
M: Yes.
W: Ok, we’ll see you at 2:45.
Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.
W: What do you think the world will be like 50 years from now?
M: I suppose it’ll be different.
W: Do you think there will be many natural resources left?
M: There should be some left.
W: Do you think there will be enough resources for people in the world to live co mfortably?
M: Sure. I don’t think life will be extremely different. I think we’ll use fewer resources than we do
now, though.
W: I don’t think we’ll be able to afford to use half as much as we do now.
M: Really? What do you think the price of gas will be?
W: I think it will double in price every year from now on.
M: You’re crazy. There’s loads of gas to be found in this world.
W: That’s not what some people say. I don’t think many of us will have private cars in 20 years’ time.
M: That would be horrible.
W: It could be a good thing. If gas becom es too expensive, maybe the government would try to improve the public transportation system.
M: I hate using public transport.
W: If it were more convenient, I bet you would love it. You can save money, save the environment, and save time.
M: I guess. Do you think it’s too late to change the oil situation now?
W: I do feel like it’s out of our hands already. However, you can start to do things now, like riding your bicycle to work, sharing a ride with others, and using the public transportation system.
M: I’ll think about it.
