[单项选择] Passage Five
The California condor is the largest
bird in North America. It is an endangered species. 20 years ago there were less
than 30 birds left. All of the birds were trapped and kept in safe places. The
number of condors grew larger. Puppets that looked like condors were used to
take care of babies so that more eggs could be hatched.
In the
last few years, some of the condors have been returned to the wild. But they
seem to like humans now and come into danger around people. Some birds perch on
houses and tear up roofs. Some have even gone into houses. Birds have been shot,
poisoned, and killed by power lines.

A. Hunters shoot condors.
B. Puppet rearing practices have caused it.
C. Hunter’s bullets contain lead which poisons the meat condors eat.
D. They never used to like lead.

Several years ago during the dot-com
passion, Manhattan lawyer John Kennedy sometimes wore a dark blue suit to meet
potential Internet clients. But he soon realized that his conservative clothes
were a strike against him before he even shook hands. So he began to do business
in casual, open-shirt clothes.
But now the tables have turned.
Today Silicon Valley executives are the ones often coming out in suits. No
wonder that Fortune 500 executives are dusting off their silk ties and pants. "I
would say there is a trend now toward a little more business dress," said
Kennedy. "I find myself wearing suits more."
While there isn’t a
rush toward formal office wear, clothiers and executives say the workplace
uniform is heading that way. In many offices, men are wearing jackets, ties and
pants more frequently than a year ago. Top wom
A. the Manhattan law business grew very quickly
B. shaking hands with clients became popular
C. the country was fighting the conservatives
D. the Internet companies boomed then
[填空题]This passage outlines five strategies for making parents wise consumers.
[单项选择]Passage Five
In the early 20th century, a horse named Clever Hans was believed capable of counting and other impressive mental tasks. After years of great performance, psychologists discovered that though Hans was certainly clever, he was not clever in the way everyone expected. The horse was cleverly picking up on tiny, unintentional bodily and facial signals given out not only by his trainer, but also by the audience. Aware of the "Clever Hans" effect, Lisa Lit at the University of California and her colleagues wondered whether the beliefs of professional dog handlers might similarly affect the outcomes of searches for drugs and explosives. Remarkably, Dr Lit found, they do.
Dr Lit asked 18 professional dog handlers and their dogs to complete brief searches. Before the searches, the handlers were informed that some of the search areas might contain up to three target scents, and also that in two cases those scents would be marked by pieces of red paper. What the handlers we
A. each search area contained three target scents
B. there was actually no target scent in the search area
C. some target scents may be labeled with a special mark
D. their dogs were expected to find the scents of red paper
