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 100 000 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
S60-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 mc in
subtle ways when I got too close, A. have killed off other lions B. have descended from African lions C. used to span vast sections of the globe D. have lost their habitat

[单项选择]Passage One
Most people lie in everyday conversation when they are trying to appear likable and competent, according to a study conducted by University of Massachusetts psychologist Robert S. Feldman. The study found that lies told by men and women differ in content, though not in quantity.
Feldman said the results showed that men do not lie more than women or vice versa, but that men and women lie in different ways. "Women were more likely to lie to make the person they were talking to feel good, while men lied most often to make themselves look better," Feldman said.
A group of 121 pairs of undergraduate UMass students were recruited to participate in the study. They were told that the purpose of the study was to examine how people interact when they meet someone new. Participants were told they would have a 10-minute conversation with another person. Some participants were told to try to make themselves appear likable. Others were told to appear competent. A thi A. the purpose to achieve B. the amount of time taken C. the place of their occurrence D. the people they’re meant for
[单项选择] Passage Two
Many people think a telephone is
essential. But I think it is a pest and a time waster. Very often you find it
impossible to escape from some idle or inquisitive chatter-box, or from somebody
who wants something for nothing. If you have a telephone in your own house, you
will admit that it tends to ring when you least want it to ring; when you are
asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation, or when you are just going
out, or when you are in your bath. Are you strong-minded enough to ignore it, to
say to yourself, "Ah, well it will all be the same in a hundred year’s time"
You are not. You think there may be some important news or message for you. I
can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or
later. Have you never rushed dripping from the bath, or chewing from the table,
or dazed from th A. Harmful thing. B. Insignificant thing. C. Troublesome thing D. Trivial thing
[单项选择] Passage Two
Ask why most people are right-handed,
and the answer might fall along the same lines as why fish school(鱼成群地游). Two
neuroscientists suggest that social pressures drive individuals to coordinate
their behaviors so that everyone in the group gets an evolutionary
edge. Approximately 85 percent of people prefer their right
hand, which is controlled by the left hemisphere of the brain. One
theorized benefit of locating a particular function in one hemisphere is that it
frees the other to deal with different tasks. But that idea does not explain
why. population-wide trends for handedness exist in the first place.
Moreover, evidence gleaned in recent years has overturned the long-held
belief that human handedness is a unique by-product of brain specialization
attributable to language. A suite of studies has revealed brain lateraliz A. does not explain why handedness is such an overwhelming trend B. does not explain why 85%people are right-handed C. shows that human handedness is a unique by product of brain D. enable people to think with the other hemisphere
