Some scientists say time is (21)    —from the future to the past. Can time move backward? by the movement of matter in our universe. They say time flows (22)        because the universe is expanding. Some say it will stop expanding some day and will begin to move in the opposite (23)          , to grow smaller

Most people have no trouble (24)          that time moves forward. We remember the past, but we do not know the future. We know a film is moving forward if it shows a glass falling off a table and (25)          into many pieces. If the film were moving backward, the pieces would re-join to (26)               a glass and jump back up onto the table. This can only be seen in a film.

Some scientists believe there is one (27)                    —the second law of thermodynamics. That law says disorder increases with time. (28)                                                                                        .why time only moves forward. It is a well-known scientific law

For example, there are many ways a glass can break into pieces. That is disorder. But (29)                                                                .That is order. If time moved backward, the broken pieces could come together in a great many ways. Only one of these many ways, however, would re-form the glass. (30)                                                                              .

 

Directions: There are 3 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.

Geneticists have called into question the old assumptions about human migration out of Africa. Because of fossil evidence of earlier species, it was at one time thought that perhaps humans had migrated from Africa as long as several million years ago, in different waves, and slowly settled around the world. For a long time, many people believed that humans had evolved somewhat independently in separate groups that we now call races. However genetics has shown that we all very closely related and that what we call races are social rather than biological constructs. In recent times, scientists had come to believe that there had been one migration between 200,000 and 300,000 years ago from east Africa to different parts of the world.

But the human genome project and other work done with human genetic populations has suggested that the species from which we are all descended left East Africa at around the same time, as recently as 100,000 years ago. The new date for the emergence of Homo sapiens is around 120,000 years ago.

But some of our human predecessors used tools, created art and even had fire. There are some signs of tool usage as long as 2.5 million years .

It was in relatively short period of time that modern humanity developed. However, ether is much we don't know yet. For instance there is evidence of boat usage as long ago as 60,000 years. This has suggested that migration we had previously believed to occur almost exclusively by land may have had a substantial water component.

The more we learn from science about human history, the closer we realize we all are. All modern humans are very close relatives. So, look around and say hello to your family. It’s bigger than you think.

32、What is the date some research has suggested the first emergence of our ancestors?

A）Around 200,000 years ago.             B）Around 100,000 years ago.

C）Around 120,000 years ago.             D）Around 300,000 years ago.

33、What are there some signs of 2.5 million years ago?

Everybody gets sick. Disease and injury make us suffer throughout our lives until, finally, some attack on the body brings our existence to an end. Fortunately, most of us in modern industrialized societies can take relatively good health for granted most of the time. In fact, we tend to fully realize the importance of good health only when we or those close to us become seriously ill. At such times we keenly appreciate the ancient truth that health is our most precious assel, one for which we might readily give up such rewards as power wealth, or fame.

Affecting both individual and society, the human response to sickness is always socially organized. No society leaves the responsibility for maintaining health and treating ill health entirely to the individual. Each society develops its own concepts of health and sickness and authorizes certain people to decide who is sick and how the sick should be treated. Around this focus there arises, over time, a number of standards, values, groups, statuses and roles: in other words, an institution. To the sociologist, then, medicine is the institution concerned with the maintenance of health and the treatment of disease.

In the simplest pre-industrial societies, medicine is usually an aspect of religion. The social arrangements for dealing with sickness are very elementary, often involving only two roles: the sick and the healer. The latter is typically also the priest, who relies primarily on religious ceremonies, both to identify and to treat disease: for example, bones may be thrown to establish a cause, songs may be used to bring about a cure. In modern industrialized societies, on the other hand, the institution has become highly complicated and specialized, including dozens of roles such as those of brain surgeon, druggist, hospital administrator, linked with various organizations such as nursing homes, insurance companies and medical schools. Medicine, in fact has become he subject of intense sociological interest precisely because it is now one of the most pervasive and costly institutions of modern society.

A）Nowadays most people believe they can have fairly good health.

B）Human life involves a great deal of pain and suffering.

C）Most of us are aware of the full value of health.

D）Ancient people believed that health was more expensive than anything else.

A）make way for       B）give power to       C）write an order for     D）make it possible for

43、In Para.2, we learn that the sociologist regards medicine as             .

A）a system whose purpose is to treat disease and keep people healthy

B）a universal problem that affects every society

C）a social responsibility to treat ill health   

D）a science that focuses on the treatment of disease

44、According to Para.3, which of the following is NOT true?

A）In the past, bones might be used to decide why people fell ill.

B）In pre-industrial societies priests sometimes treated patients by singing

C）Modern medicine is so complicated that sociology no longer has a place in it.

D）There were only two roles in an elementary medical system, the patient and the one who tried to cure him.

45、The author of this passage is mainly concerned with          .

A）sociological aspects in medicine                B）medical treatment of diseases

C）the development of medical science             D）the role of religion in medicine

 

Past research has shown that children highly sensitive to stress tend to be at higher risk for health and behavioral problems. Yet, a new study finds that sensitivity in of itself may not necessarily be what primes (使准备好) children for  46  . According to it, highly sensitive children in challenging, high-stress settings are indeed more  47  to have healthy and behavioral troubles as they grow up. But emotionally  48  kids in supportive, low-stress environments tend to  49  and excel. The findings  50  that being extraordinarily reactive to stress isn’t necessarily a bad thing for children and is in fact  51  influenced by home environment.

To analyze how family environment  52  child development, researchers recruited 338 kindergarteners and their teachers and families. As the children completed a series of tasks, researchers found that certain children  53  signs of heightened sensitivity to stress. They also found that,  54  with less sensitive peers, how these children reacted to stress was more strongly influenced by their home and family  55 －both for better and for worse.

 

As you probably know from the appeals being made for funds to fight cancer, and from all the research that is being done, 56  this subject-cancer is a great threat to the health and life of mankind. We will only discuss cancer in general  57  , so you can have an idea of what  58  in a body that has cancer.

A cancer is a continuous growth in the body which doesn't follow the normal growth  59  . The cells  60  the cancer spread through the body to parts which may be  61  , the spot where the cancer began.  62  it is removed or destroyed, the cancer  63  the death of the person.

Cells in the body are growing  64  . As they wear  65  and disappear, their places are  66  by new cells of exactly the same kind. But cancer cells look and act  67  from normal body cells.

When these cancer cells divide and increase in  68  , they don't change into the fully grown form and then stop reproducing.  69  they remain young cells and continue to reproduce in number until they are harmful.

As the cancer cells grow, they do not  70 in one spot, but separate and move in  71  the normal cells. They may become so  72 that the normal cells in this part of the body cannot continue to work or even remain alive. When the cancer 73  into the blood, it is carried to distant parts of the body.  74  it may grow to form large masses which  75  with the activities of the normal cells.
