[单项选择]Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.
Most people think of lions as strictly African beasts, but only because they’ve been killed off almost everywhere else. Ten thousand years ago lions spanned vast sections of the globe. Now lions hold only a small fraction of their former habitat, and Asiatic lions, a subspecies that spit from African lions perhaps 100000 years ago, hang on to an almost impossibly small slice of their former territory.
India is the proud steward of these 300 or so lions, which live primarily in a 560-square-mile sanctuary(保护区). It took me a year and a half to get a permit to explore the entire Gir Forest—and no time at all to see why these lions became symbols of royalty and greatness. A tiger will hide in the forest unseen, but a lion stands its ground, curious and unafraid—lionhearted. Though they told me in subtle ways when I got too close, Gir’s lions allowed me unique glimpses into their lives during

[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

Can money buy happiness Yes, (47) the authors of a new study--but only up to a point.
Psychology has shown that richer people generally rank the overall quality of their lives more (48) than poorer people do. At the same time, their actual happiness seems to be (49) less by their ability to buy more than by being able to keep up with those with comparable resources in their own age group.

[单项选择]Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.
Most of us have seen a dog staring at, sometimes snarling at, and approaching a reflection of itself. For most animals, seeing their own image in a mirror acts as a social stimulus. But does the dog recognize itself, or does the reflection simply signal a potential companion or threat
This question is interest for a number of reasons. Apart from curiosity about the level of animals’ understanding, research on self-recognition in animals has several benefits. It provides some insight into the evolutionary significance of this skill of self- recognition and into the level and kinds of cognitive competence that the skill requires. Such research also indicates the kinds of learning experiences that determine the development of self-recognition. In addition, work with animals fosters the use of techniques that are not dependent on verbal responses and that may therefore be suitable for use with preverbal child

[单项选择]Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
The president of the United States has one of the toughest jobs in the world. Hardly anyone else is watched so closely by so many people. Reporters follow the president patiently, eager for his opinion on everything from nuclear warheads to the outcome of a football match. The president must be careful at all times that his answers to reporters’ questions reflect his policies. In addition, wherever the president may go, he never for a moment escapes the responsibilities of his office. The evening news may show him on a working vacation, but the work is always with him.
The job seems to demand a person of outstanding ability, so you might think the US Constitution (宪法) would contain a long list of job qualifications. However, it lists only three. Article Ⅱ , Section 1 of the Constitution states that the President must:
1. be a natural-born citizen of the United States ;
2. be at least 35
A. The US President is always attention focused of people worldwide.
B. It is prescribed by law that Government branches supervise each other.
C. American people expect more of their leaders than other peoples do.
