he specialists in an embarrassing position because he is often unable to give a direct answer to this simple question.

But actually this question is not as simple as it seems. There are thousands of different kinds of fishes, and they vary a great deal in size and life span. Moreover, it is not easy to find out just how long a fish lives in its natural state. We can find out how old a fish is by studying its scales, but we cannot say how much more time it would live if we had not caught it.

We may rear fishes and record their life span but we cannot be sure that this is the length of time they would have lived, had they been left alone.

We may make marking to show how fast the fishes grow so that we can calculate the age of the largest on record, but unless this large fish dies of old age we are still not in a position to know its natural life span.

Unlike human beings, fishes do not stop growing when they reach maturity. They continue to grow as long as they live, although the rate of growth slows down in mature fishes.

People often ask the specialist on fishes regarding its _______.

A.size

B.life span

C.age

D.variety

The specialist is embarrassed by the question because _______.A.he does not know the answer

B.there is no answer to the question

C.it is a silly and simple question for him

D.there is no definite answer to this question

We can know a fish’s age from its ______.A.weight

B.size

C.scales

D.length

Which of the following statements is NOT true？A.Different kinds of fishes have different life spans.

B.It is hard for the specialist to know the length of time a fish lives in its natural state

C.Mature fishes grow more quickly than young ones.

D.The specialist makes marking to know the rate of growth of fishes so that they know the age of the largest ones.

Human beings, unlike fishes, _______.A.stop growing when they reach maturity

B.grow faster after maturing

C.continue to grow as long as they live

D.have a short life span

When America Online and Time Warner announced their merger in January 2000, at the height of the Internet boom, this mega-marriage of new technology and old media was enthusiastically received. The world's biggest online service was expected to inject its "Internet DNA" into the stodgy media giant. Together they -would come up with all sorts of lucrative synergies and "cross-fertilization". Even the Economist was excited: "For once, the superlatives and the hype seem justified," we opinioned.

Although interior design has existed since the beginning of architecture, its development 【21】______ a specialized field is really quite recent. Interior designers have become 【22】______ partly because of the many functions that might be 【23】______ in a single large building. There might be stores, theatres, restaurants, and other 【24】______ on the main floor or lower floors of building, while the upper floors might have hotel rooms, apartments, or business offices for many 【25】______ kinds of companies.

The importance of interior design becomes 【26】______ when we realize how much time we spend in places surrounded by four walls. Whether we need to be 【27】______ , we want our surroundings to be as attractive and comfortable as possible. We also expect each place to be appropriate 【28】______ its use. You would be shocked if the 【29】______ of your bedroom was suddenly changed to look like that 【30】______ a restaurant. And you 【31】______ feel right in a business office that looked like a school.

It soon becomes clear that the interior designer' s most important basic 【32】______ is the function of the particular space. For example, a theatre with poor sight lines, poor sound-shaping qualities, and too few 【33】______ and exits will not work for its 【34】______ , 【35】______ how 【36】______ it might be decorated. 【37】______ , for any kind of space, the designer needs to make various kinds of decisions. He or she must 【38】______ decoration of everything from the shape, textures, lighting, and 【39】______ to floor. 【40】______ addition, the designer must usually select furniture or design built-in furniture, according to the functions that need to be served.

iours. Scientists have already found that there is a critical period for learning in man and animals. Once the right time for learning a skill or a certain behaviour has passed, this skill or behaviour can never be properly learned.

Thorpe of Cambridge University found that the chaffinch has to learn most of its songs, and that this learning has to occur during the early weeks of the bird's life and also during the first spring. If the bird is handreared and isolated from other birds from the time of hatching, it sings only very simple songs and it never learns the song of its species correctly.

That we speak our own language perfectly and the languages we learn later imperfectly also depends on learning this skill at the right time. The brain develops in such a way that it is ready to learn to speak between the ages of about ten months and ten years. Languages learned later are not spoken perfectly. The ability to speak a language is a mixed motor and sensory skill. It is necessary to hear all the sounds, the subtle differences between similar but not identical sounds, the rhythm and lilt of the language. One has also to work tongue, throat, and lips, to control breathing. All this has to be managed at one and the same time. From some time after birth until the age of six or seven, normal children can learn all this perfectly, and without much difficulty they can learn two or even three languages at the same time, without muddling them up. But later, most of us cannot acquire this skill. We may learn to write and read the new language perfectly; but to acquire the right inflexion and the accent and the ability to speak so that no one can detect that the language is not our mother-tongue hardly ever occurs.

But those of us who still want to learn foreign languages after these early milestones have been passed need not worry; for though we may not learn to speak a new language like the natives, we know from thousands of examples that we can go on learning languages beyond the age of eighty. There are so many activities adding to the simple word "learning" that although some of the processes become less efficient with ageing of the brain, our actual experience of learning helps us in learning new material.

According to the study by Thorpe, a chaffinch reared in isolation after its birth ______.

A．never sings

B．cannot learn songs from other species of birds

C．never sings as well as other chaffinches

D．sings the same song all the time

There are three kinds of goals : short-term , medium-range and long-term goals.

Short-range goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possible months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, our long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.

The intermediate goals bulked (延伸) on the foundation of the short-range goals. They might deal with just one-term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.

Long-range goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static (静止的) thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.

Our long-term goals mean a lot______.

A．if we complete our short-range goals

B．if we cannot reach solid short-term goals

C．if we write down the dates

D．if we put forward some plans

, they replied, "Because it is right. " If we ask Americans why they eat with knives and forks, or why their men wear pants 27 skirts, or why they may be married to only one person at a time, we are likely to get 28 and very uninformative answers: "Because its right. " "Because thats the way its done. " "Because its the 29 " Or even ,I dont know. " The reason for these and countless other patterns of social behavior. is that they are __30 by social norms--shared rules or guidelines which prescribe the behavior. that is appropriate in a given situation. Norms 31 how people " ought" to behave under particular circumstances in a particular society. We conform. (遵守) to norms so readily that we are hardly aware they 32 . In fact, we are much more likely to notice 33 from norms than conformity to them. You would not be surprised if a stranger tried to shake hands when you were introduced, but you might be a little 34 if they bowed, started to stroke you or kissed you on both 35 . Yet each of these other forms of greeting is appropriate in other parts of the world. When we visit another society whose norms are different, we quickly become aware that things we do this way, they do that way. 第26题应填____
