Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
Just like children, deer often cross British roads to get to the other side. But the cost is the deer's life. At night, speeding carshit and kill the animals. Now foresters are using natural animal instincts（本能）to prevent dangerous crossings.
In England, the British Forestry Commission has installed thousands of glowing red \"wolf eyes\" along woodland roads. Theeyes are actually reflectors, plastic bars like the red reflectors on your bike. The ten-centimeter long bars are fixed on top ofposts, with only these signs directed towards the woods rather than the roads.
When cars speed by, light rays from car headlights reflect off the reflectors' shining surface and flash into the woods. Deer areinstantly scared by the wolf eyes ―even though wolves haven't hunted deer in Britain or even lived there for a hundredyears!
Scientists think the glowing light imitates the \"eye shine\" of nightly beasts. (You've probably seen eye shine on cats. Mirror-like cells in the eyes reflect some light that hits them.)
The deer must not have \"forgotten\" that a wolf can run up to 72 km per hour in hot pursuit, or can sniff（嗅）deer out from 2.4km away. In some areas where \"wolf eyes\" keep watch, 90 percent fewer deer have been killed at night.26. In Britain, deer's life is threatened _____ .A) by worsening environmentB) by nightly beastsC) by automobilesD) by illegal hunting

B) Great Britain pays great attention to animal protectionC) a wolf's smell is ten times more sensitive than man'sD) Britain has built many highways through woodlandsPassage 2
Question 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
\"Mind over matter\" is an English saying meaning that we can control our bodies with our minds. Now scientists are findingincreasing evidence that our mind can have a great effect on our physical health. Since our mind influences how we feel, it'snot impossible to say that someone is ill just because he feels ill.
The influence of the mind on how well we feel is the basis of what is known as the placebo (which is Latin for \"I shall please\")effect. A placebo is a harmless, inactive substance. Patients are sometimes given placebo pills and begin to feel better
because they believe that they have been given real drugs and expect to respond to them. The placebo effect is very strong:research on pain suggests that up to 30% of the effect of most painkillers is a placebo effect.So if it's so powerful, why don't doctors use it today?
According to Dr. Persaud, they do. \"Things like wearing a white coat, going to a hospital, being scanned（扫描）all have avery strong placebo effect,\" he says.
31. The English saying \"mind over matter\" means that _____.A) sound mind is more important than good healthB) our mind has strong effect on our body

34. The placebo effect is based on _____.A) a response of the body to drugsB) a harmless, inactive substanceC) the constant use of some special drugsD) the influence of our minds on our bodies
35. Which of the following may least have a placebo effect?
A) Concentrating one's mind over a matter.B) Taking sleeping pills before going to bed.C) Taking a physical examination.D) Talking with a doctor.Passage 3
Question 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but its ancestors（先驱）can be found in bookswritten hundreds of years ago. These books were often concerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society, atheme which is still often found in modern stories.
Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last one hundred years. Books by writers suchas Jules Verne and H. G. Wells, to mention just two well-known authors, have been translated into many languages.Modern science fiction writers don't often write about men from Mars or space adventure stories. They are more interested inpredicting the effects of technical developments on society and the human mind; or in imagining future worlds which are areflection of the world which we live in now. Because of this their writing has obvious political undertones.
In an age where science fact frequently overtakes science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientificadvances. Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson onhow to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to master its new technology and come to termswith a continually changing view of the world.36. Science fiction appeared _____.A) a few decades ago

Directions: Read the following passage and translate the 5 underlined sentences into Chinese.(5 points)
Two groups who want to clone human babies defended their efforts yesterday before a panel（专门⼩组）set up by theNational Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C. (66) But they failed to erase concerns raised by animal-cloningresearchers, who believe attempts at human cloning are unethical and may lead to dead, deformed or ill infants.
(67) For a moment, many thought one would-be cloner had claimed her research group had cloned human embryos ―
something researchers have avoided for ethical reasons.Brigitte Boisselier, who runs a human-cloning operation associatedwith a UFO-worshipping religious sect, made reference to cloned embryos while being questioned by one of the panelmembers about human cloning. (68) Later, she told a group of reporters she had been misunderstood: Her research teamwas working with cow embryos.
(69) The whole exchange was typical of those between would-be human cloners, the press and the panel: sound, fury and alot of nothing. Often, the sideshow created by the would-be cloners seemed like it might take over the meeting.
Scientists at the meeting didn't doubt either group would try. (70) The chances of success appear relatively slim ― and itseems certain they would create a lot of pain and suffering.
