the example of the blue whale:It has a huge brain,but it still doesn"t know how to avoid whalers or use its
large size and weight to deal with those who try to use their body for profit. Scientists hold an opinion that
the blue whale just likes some highly intelligent people who fail to succeed. Those highly intelligent people
can"t succeed in life because they can"t communicate well with the world around them.
Intelligence is a word in life that makes you think you are better than others. Intelligence can blind these
very people from how others view them. These people also think that the route to power and success
results purely from intelligence and they sometimes live in a fantasy world that they create by their
supposed brain power.
This is a distance that develops whether or not they realize it and sometimes,a person can be disliked
simply because of his or her intelligence. This distance is sometimes so far apart that it gets to the position
where they can"t listen to each other. One side thinks the other is stupid and the other thinks he/she is
haughty(傲慢的)．And most of the time it is the intelligent people who lose themselves in this situation.
They become unpopular with most of the people around them. This affects them in whatever they do and
sooner or later they will lose their confidence.
It doesn"t help that they get a culture shock-especially when they leave college and realize success and
richness don"t always and sometimes never come naturally with intelligence. While some might think this is
a dramatic picture to paint,it is sometimes the end result of some people.
e" is used to show _____.B. human beings are always more intelligent than animals
C. humans should have the sense of protecting animals
D. the blue whale is the largest animal
in the worldB. they should live in a better world than the others
C. they are sure to be successful because of their intelligence
D. other people"s opinion should be seriously considered
B. They often can"t get higher positions though they are intelligent.
C. They can"t persuade those stupid people to accept their ideas.
D. They often can"t make good use of their advantages.
B. more efforts
C. failure in the futur
e D. proper changes

classroom in ways unimaginable. Taking classes can be fun too. All you have to do is wipe your fingers on
your phone screen and download some Apps, which can make your study more fun and efficient.
Balancing study and play in a college setting has never been easy--and with the following few apps, it"ll
be tough to tell the two apart.
Evernote
Use: note－taking
Can be used on: Phone/iPad/iPod touch, Android, BlackBerry, PalmOS and Windows Phone 7
Price: free
It"s hard to imagine that with all the magical gadgets, the eager, studious types would still take out a
notepad, pencil, and highlighter－and take notes in class. While it"s not an actual planner or calendar App, if you take notes to stay organized, then Evernote is for you. The main thing about Evernote is that all of
your notes are automatically sent into the cloud(云储存平台上)--and then you can access them from any web－connected computer via the Evernote App or a web browser. Evernote also support audio and
photo notes－rather handy if you want to record your lecture or take photos of any projected notes.
But, of course, ask for permission first.
Wikpanion
Use: research database
Can be used on: iPhone/Pad/iPod touch
Price: free (Wikipanion Plus for$4, 99, or 31. 87 yuan)
Now, you don"t necessarily have to go to a library or anywhere with computer services to do
research work for your paper anymore. You can get access to the research databases just on your
smart phone or tablet. Wkipanion gives you a simplified version of Wikipeda without leaving out any of
the site"s extra features. The normal links that you"d see to each section of an article xre no longer on the
mainscreen. Instead，there"s a small icon located at the bottom of the app, which can be used to access
all the sections of an article. You can also open the links in Safari(苹果)Safari(浏览器). According to
the developers" site, loading Wikipedia pages with Wikpanion is a lot faster than accessing the Wikipedia
site from the iPhone"s browses. To be honest, we agree.

Much to the displeasure of some local businesses, the City Council in West Hollywood, California,
voted without opposition last week to ban the sale of fur products. Should laws be involved in this issue? Is it unfair to ban sales of fur, but not sales of leather and hides (兽皮)?
Animals Do Not Have Rights
By Tibor R. Machan
My view is that animals do not have basic rights. It is a matter of ethics (伦理学) and not of the laws of human societies. If animals had such rights as human beings do, they would have to be held responsible for killing fellow animals in the wild. That way of thinking about animals makes a category mistake. Using
animals, including their fur or organs, to improve people"s lives is acceptable.
A Small Step Against Cruelty
By Kate Carter
Both fur and leather are the skins of dead animals. Why should we think that the lovable furry ones
deserve more of a life than the less pleasing ones? Some say leather is less cruel because it"s a byproduct (副产品) of the meat industry. But this isn"t really true. Some cheap leather may be a byproduct of the
meat industry, but often it"s the other way round. In South Africa, where there is a developing market for
ostrich(鸵鸟)farms, the skins account for roughly 80 percent of the slaughtered (宰***)birds" value, a mere 20 percent of which comes from the meat.
"Who" Are You Wearing?
By Marc Bekoff
West Hollywood"s ban is a move in the right direction. However, we must work to ban the sales of
leather and hides, too. Furs come from animals who are attacked to become clothing, while some leather
and hides come from slaughterhouse(屠宰场) animals. We must remember that when people choose to
wear fur, leather and hides, they are wearing formering conscious beings. So it"s a matter of who they are wearing, not what they are wearing because these animals must be referred to as who and not what or that.
A. West Hollywood"s ban on fur products.
B. Differences between fur and leather sales.
C. The government"s role in protecting animals.
D. The ecological imbalance in West Hollywood.
2. Tibor R. Machan seems to believe that_____.
A. laws should be passed to protect animals
B. humans are respornsible for killing animals
C. it is not reasonable to use animals to improve life
D. animals and humans aren"t supposed to share equal rights
3. What is Kate Carter"s opinion about wearing fur and wearing leather?
A. Both are decided by the meat industry.
B. There is little distinction (区别) between them.
C. Wearing fur is generally more acceptable.
D. Wearing leather is cheaper than wearing fur.
4. What is Marc Bekoff"s attitude towards sales of fur?
A. Sympathetic.
B. Careless.
C. Tolerant.
D. Opposed.
The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated Arctic regions explorers have reported being
free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of
packages and mail dropped from airplanes.
During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches(战壕), cold and wet,
showed no increased tendency to catch colds.
In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp(奥斯维辛集中营), naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.
At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in experiments in which they put
themselves into the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in
drafty room. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.
If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most pains-taking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by
scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this
makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.
No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors(止痛片) such as
aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms.
1. The writer offered _______ examples to support his argument.
A. 4
B. 5

D. 3

3. Arctic explorers may catch colds when ________.
A. they are working in the isolated Arctic regions
B. they are writing reports in terribly cold weather
C. they are free from work in the isolated Arctic regions

A. the experiments on the common cold
B. the false opinion about the common cold
C. the reason and the way people catch colds
D. the continued spread of common colds
business, a person can feel alone among the millions of others.
There is a popular view that in cities, strangers are less likely to help an elderly person cross a street or call the police when they see a bike being stolen. Recently, a New Yorker named Casey Neistat did an
experiment. He chained up his bike in several public places, then "stole" it in a number of obvious ways,
such as using a hacksaw (钢锯). He filmed everything to see whether other New Yorkers would try to
stop a shameless bike theft. The result? People just walked on by.
Is this evidence of an immoral, selfish urban society? Not necessarily. According to another recent
study, the way city people mind their own business is about other factors besides morality (道德).
This is called the Bystander Effect, the theory that city people do not react because of the urban
enviromnent they live in.
Psychologist Dr. Harold explained why people did not involve themselves in Neistat"s bike theft
experiment with the Bystander Effect.
First, people who live in cities are surrounded by so much activity that they stop noticing what is going
on around them. Second, they are less easy to surprise and assume every activity has a logical explanation.
"The third is that people notice it, but they don"t know what to do," he continued. "And the fourth is fear they know they should do something, but they"re afraid to challenge someone with a hacksaw." A lack of
concern is only a small reason why people don"t take action, concludes Dr. Harold.
Despite the results of Neistat"s experiment, there is also evidence of a sense of team spirit that connects people in cities. All it takes is a funny joke or a shared interest to start a conversation with someone at a
bus stop. When city folk are in trouble, they come together for support - famously in New York on
September 11, 2001.
City society is different, but that doesn"t mean it"s cold or mean - it just means it"s busy!
A. proving that he was not the thief
B. telling people that bike theft was immoral
C. finding out who had a sense of right and wrong
D. making his experiment well-known to the public
2. We can infer from the third paragraph that morality _____.
A. can partly explain a selfish urban society
B. is what our society should pay special attention to
C. is the only factor that leads to a selfish urban society
D. is the root of the Bystander Effect mentioned in the passage
3. The underlined part September 11, 2001 in Paragraph 9 serves as_____.
A. a reminder of the sad memories
B. a way to prove Dr Harold"s Bystander effect
C. evidence that city life can be really dangerous
D. an example to show team spirit connecting city people
4. As can be inferred from the passage, the writer probably_____.
A. criticizes the loss of morality in urban society
B. feels sad about the result of Neistat"s experiment
C. thinks city people are too busy to care about others
D. disagrees that city life sometimes can be cold and mean
Now we’re always hearing about road accident, and when we’re in a car we try to drive carefully, but how many of us take the same degree of care in our homes? Any large hospital will tell you the number of
the accidents that happen in the home is almost the same as those on the road.
One of the commonest and most dangerous causes of home accidents is wrong and careless use of
electrical equipment. People will continue to use a loose plug or pull out a plug without first turning off the
power. In spite of warnings, one will carry an electric heater into the bathroom when he is going to have a bath. Sometimes one forgets to cut off the power before mending a lamp or something else. All this will
cause accidents. So the rule about anything that work by electricity is: Switch off before you touch
anything and don’t pretend you know when you actually don’t.
If you’ve got children in the house, it"s always best to keep medicines of any kind out of their reach.
Otherwise, they may be taken for candies or a new kind of drink. When there are older people living with you, you have to take particular care in a number of ways in order to make them safe and happy.
Fire, of course, is always a risk. So, remember not to dry clothes in front of fires, or leave stoves in the middle of rooms where they can easily be knocked over. And don’t forget to keep the children away from fire. Smoking, too, may cause fire. So you’d better give it up. Safety first may mean a little more time and
care, but it may save you a lot of trouble.
1. According to the writer, we try to drive carefully in a car while __________.
A. we take the same degree of care in our homes
B. We don’t care much about the accidents in large hospitals
C. We don’t pay enough attention to home accidents
D. We seldom think a lot about the road accidents
2. We can learn from the text that __________.
A. people should never be allowed to carry an electric heater into the bathroom
B. the improper use of the electrical equipment is the most dangerous cause of home accidents
C. people should cut off the power first before using the electrical equipment
D. both the children and the older people should be taken special care of at home
3. It can be inferred in the text that our life at home will be much safer if __________.
A. we know more about the accidents that happen in the home
B. all of us give up smoking as soon as possible
C. we take more time and care in our life
D. we keep the stoves at the corner of the rooms
4. The main purpose of writing the text is __________.
A. to tell how and why home accidents happen
B. to persuade people to get rid of bad habits
C. to explain how to use electrical equipment
D. to instruct people how to prevent home accidents
