[填空题]Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.
With the release of The Piano, a powerfully emotional story set in nineteenth-century New Zealand about a woman’s sexual awakening, the New Zealand-born Jane Campion has established herself as one of the most talented female filmmakers to come upon the scene in recent years. The film not only received praiseful reviews from critics and moviegoers but also won the Cannes Film Festival’s top prize, the Palme D’Or, making Campion the first woman ever to be so honored. Campion’s success is notable also because she is a relative newcomer to the film world: the director was only forty years old and she has made just three features (including The Piano), a television movie, and a handful of shorts dating from her student days.
Although Campion’s films appear at first glance to have little in common—her first feature, Sweetie, is a very honest portrait of a dysfunctional family and her second, An Angel at My Table, is

The sight of eight long black legs moving over the floor makes some people scream and run—and women are four times more likely to take fright than men. Now a study suggests that females are genetically prone to develop fears for potentially dangerous animals.
David Rakison, a developmental psychologist at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, found that baby girls only 11 months old rapidly start to associate pictures of spiders with fear. Baby boys remain merrily indifferent to this connection.
In an initial training phase Rakison showed to baby girls and boys a picture of a spider together with a fearful face. In the following test phase he let them watch the image of a spider paired with a happy face, and the image of a flower paired with a fearful face.
Despite the spider’s happy companion, the girls looked significantly longer at it than at the flower. The researchers took t

[单项选择]Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
Cambridge University closed down in the summer of 1665 when the plague broke out. New ton, a student there, went home to Lincolnshire. He stayed home for two years while the disease ran its course in the area around London. The 23-year-old Newton spent that time studying and laying the foundations for his greatest work, the Principia. One day he sat thinking in his garden, when an apple fell. Then he realized that the direction the apple fell, along with every other object on this round earth, was always toward Earth’s center. It wasn’t just that the apple fell, but that it tried to go to Earth’s center. That was Newton’s eureka moment. He realized that Earth had drawn the apple to it. He realized that every object in the universe draws every other object— probably in proportion to its mass. Newton didn’t publish his Principia until 20 years later. But he formulated the Law of Universal Gravitation (LUG) there in his
A. Newton was motivated to write the Principia after he saw the apple fell.
B. The Law of Universal Gravitation was originally included in the Principia.
C. Newton began to form the idea of the Principia when he was a college student.
D. The Law of Universal Gravitation was formulated long before the Principia.
[单项选择]Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
For some time past it has been widely accepted that babies-and other creatures-learn to do things because certain acts lead to “rewards”; and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective rewards, at least in the early stages, had to be directly related to such basic physiological (生理的)“drives” as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink or some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise.
It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward except the successful outcome.
Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to“reward” the babies and so taught them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but wou
A. would make learned responses when it saw the milk
B. would carry out learned movements when it had enough to drink
C. would continue the simple movements without being given milk
D. would turn its head to right or left when it had enough to drink
