"We’re more than halfway (中途) now; it’s
only two miles farther to the tavern (客栈) ," said the driver.
"I’m glad of that," answered the stranger, in a more sympathetic way.
He meant to say more but the east wind blew clear down a man’s throat if
he tried to speak. The girl’s voice was quite attractive; however, later
he spoke again. "You don’t feel the cold so much at twenty below
zero in the Western country. There isn’t such damp chill (潮冷)", he said, and
then it seemed as if he had blamed the uncomplaining young driver. She had not
even said that it was a bad day, and he began to be conscious of a warm
hopefulness of spirit, and sense of pleasant adventure under all the woolen
scarves. "You’ll have a cold drive going back," he said
anxiously, and put up his hand for the twentieth time to see if his coat collar
was as A. One mile. B. About four miles. C. Two miles. D. Less than four miles.
[单项选择] Passage Four
We sometimes think humans are uniquely
vulnerable to anxiety, but stress seems to affect the immune defenses of lower
animals too. In one experiment, for example, behavioral immunologist (免疫学家) Mark
Laudenslager, at the University of Denver, gave mild electric shocks to 24 rats.
Half the animals could switch off the current by turning a wheel in their
enclosure, while the other half could not. The rats in the two groups were
paired so that each time one rat turned the wheel it protected both itself and
its helpless Partner from the shock. Laudenslager found that the immune response
was depressed below normal in the helpless rats but not in those that could turn
off the electricity. What he has demonstrated, he believes, is that lack of
control over an event, not the experience itself, is what wakens the immune
system. Other res A. was altered B. was strengthened C. was weakened D. was not affected
[单项选择]Mayor: Four years ago when we reorganized the city police department in order to save money, critics claimed that the reorganization would make the police less responsive to citizens and would thus lead to more crime.

[单项选择] Passage Four
We walked in so quietly that the nurse
at the desk didn’t even lift her eyes from the book. Mum pointed at a big chair
by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. While I watched, mouth open in
surprise, Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked
quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop. She pushed the mop
past the desk and as the nurse looked up, Mum nodded and said, "Very dirty
floors." "Yes. I’m glad they’ve finally decided to clean them,"
the nurse answered. She looked at Mum strangely and said, "But aren’t you
working late" Mum just pushed harder, each swipe of the mop
taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until she was out of
sight and the nurse bad turned back to writing in the big book.
After a long time Mum came back. Her eyes were shining. A. Polite. B. Patient. C. Changeable. D. Clever.
