One evening, sitting at the window sewing, my mother called me, “Come here, ”she said. “ 36 . ”She held my head against her 37 , and after a puzzled moment I felt a 38 foot drumming on my cheek. “You see ? ”she said, “It’s alive.

A

Dog Translation Products Coming to U. S.

A Japanese toy maker declares that they have developed a gadget that translates dog barks into human language and plans to begin selling the gadget——under the name of Bowlingual——in U. S. pet stores and gift shops this summer.

Tokyo-based Takara Co. Ltd. says about 300, 000 of the dog translator gadgets have been sold since it was on sale in Japan late last year. It is forecasting far bigger sales once an English language translation for dogs comes to America in August. The United States is home to about 67 million dogs, more than six times the number in Japan.

"We know that the Americans love their dogs so much, so we don't think they will mind spending $ 120 on this product, " the Takara marketing manager said during an interview at a recent pet products conference in Atlanta.

Regarded as one of the coolest inventions of 2002 by Time magazine, Bowlingual is made up of a 3 - inch long wireless microphone that is fastened to a dog collar and sends out sounds to a small console （控制台） that is connected to a database （数据库）. The console divides each bark into six emotional types——happiness, sadness, disappointment, anger, threat and desire——and shows common phrases, such as "You're ticking me off," that fit the dog's emotional state.

Takara says it has spent millions of dollars developing the gadget in cooperation with famous sound experts and animal behaviorists.

One thing that does appear certain is that the markets for animal translation products will likely remain a dog's world since Takara has no plans to develop a similar gadget for cats. "They are too unpredictable （反复无常） , " the marketing manager said.

56．This passage mainly tells us that Bowlingual ___________.

A．was invented in Japan 　　 B．has developed quickly

C．will be sold in America 　　　 D．sells well for its price

57．The underlined word "they" in the last paragraph refers to ___________.

A．markets B．products 　　 C．plans 　　 D．cats

58. When was this passage most probably published?

A．In the winter of 2002. 　　　　　　　 B．In the spring of 2003.

C．In the summer of 2002. 　　　　　　 D．In the autumn of 2003.

59. From the passage, we can see that Takara Co. Ltd. is ___________ the sale of its new product.

A．proud of 　　　 B．satisfied with C． confident of D．worried about

B

If you and your friends wish to share a secret, you can write it in code, and no one else will be able to read it. Codes are one way of writing in secret. Ciphers （暗码） are another. In a code each word is written as a secret code word or code number. In a cipher each letter is changed.

Codes and ciphers have played an important role in the history of the world. Julius Caesar, the Roman ruler who defeated almost all the countries in Europe about 2, 000 years ago, used a cipher when he sent secret messages to his troops. During the American Revolution, George Washington's spies used a kind of code to send him information about the enemy before his military （军事的） action. In World War Ⅱ, the Americans "broke", or figured out, Japan's most important navy codes and got enough information to destroy a powerful Japanese fleet.

Storekeepers use codes to mark their goods. The codes show how much was paid for the goods or when they were added to the stock （商品）. Businessmen use codes to hide plans from their business enemies. Sometimes personal letters or diaries are written in code. Many people enjoy figuring out codes and ciphers simply as a hobby.

In the 16th century, codes and ciphers were very popular among scientists. They wrote messages to each other in code so that no one else would learn their secrets. Geronimo Gardano, an Italian astrologer （星相家）, mathematician, and doctor, invented the trellis cipher. He took two sheets of paper and cut exactly the same holes in each one. Then he sent one sheet, which he called a trellis, to a friend and kept the other for himself. Whenever he wanted to write a message, he put his trellis over a clean sheet of paper and wrote the secret message through the holes. Then he removed the trellis and filled the rest of the paper with words that would make sense. When his friend received it, he put his trellis over the writing and read the secret message.

60．The best title of this passage is ___________.

A．Codes and Ciphers

B．Differences between Codes and Ciphers

C．History of Codes and Ciphers

D．Inventors of Codes and Ciphers

61．Which of the following statements is true?

A．Ciphers can be broken or figured out more easily than codes.

B．You could read some words in Geronimo' s letter without his trellis.

C．The first person who ever used a cipher in history was Julius Caesar.

D．Fondness of using codes was the hobby of the scientists in the 16th century.

62．According to Geronimo Cardano, a trellis is ___________.

A． a piece of paper with many small holes

B． a secret message with a lot of small holes

C． a letter with unreadable words and sentences

D． a sheet of paper with groups of Arabic figures

63．It is NOT mentioned in the passage that codes and ciphers are used for the purpose of ___________.

A．military affairs　　　　　　　　　　 B．commercial secrets

C．scientific achievements 　　　　　　 D．personal enjoyment

Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality （理性）, but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any reasonable student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, many famous professors and lots of good labs and research equipment. But that's not what I did.

I chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts （文科） university that doesn't even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice; I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility （灵活） and a value system to guide me in my job.I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision （眼界） by communicating with people who weren't studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a wise choice. They told me I was wise and grown-up beyond my 18 years, and I believed them.

I headed off to the college and sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering "factories" where they didn't care if you had values or were flexible. I was going to be a complete engineer: technical expert and excellent humanist all in one.

Now I'm not so sure. Somewhere along the way my noble ideas crashed into reality, as all noble ideas finally do. After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal-arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile （协调） engineering with liberal-arts courses in college.

The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply don't mix as easily as I supposed in high school. Individually they shape a person in very different ways. The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.

68. Why did the author choose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts university?

A．He intended to become an engineer and humanist.

B．He intended to be a reasonable student with noble ideals.

C．He wanted to be an example of practicality and rationality.

D．He wanted to communicate with liberal-arts students.

69. According to the author, by communicating with people who study liberal arts, engineering students can ___________.

A．become noble idealists

B．broaden their knowledge

C．find a better job in the future

D．balance engineering and liberal arts

70．When the author says "Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality, but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool" at the beginning of the passage, he actually means ___________.

A．he has failed to achieve his ideal aims

B．he is not a practical and rational student

C．his choice of attending to a small liberal-arts university is reasonable

D．his idea of combining engineering with liberal - arts is noble and wise

71．The author suggests in this passage that ___________.

A．liberal-arts students are supported to take engineering courses

B．technical experts with a wide vision are expected in the society

C．successful engineering students are more welcomed in the society

D．engineering universities with liberal-arts courses are needed

E

An 18th-century statesman Edmund Burke once said, "All that is needed for the success of a misguided cause is that good people do nothing. " One such cause now seeks to end biomedical research because of the theory that animals have rights to decide whether to be used in research. Scientists need to respond forcefully to animal rights advocates （鼓吹者） , whose arguments are puzzling the public and threatening advances in health knowledge and care. Leaders of the animal rights movement attack biomedical research because it depends on public funding, and few people understand the process of health care research. Hearing false reports of cruelty to animals in research settings, many are puzzled that anyone would harm an animal on purpose.

For example, a grandmotherly woman setting up an animal rights booth（摊位；展位） at a recent street fair was giving out sheets that encouraged readers not to use anything that comes from or is tested in animals——no meat, no fur, no medicines. Asked what will happen when epidemics （传染病） return, she said, "Don't worry, scientists will find some way of using computers." Such well-meaning people just don't understand.

Scientists must communicate their message to the public in an understandable way——in human terms, not in the language of biology. We need to make clear the connection between animal research and a grandmother's organ replacement, a father's bypass operation, a baby's vaccinations （接种疫苗）, and even a pet's shots. To those who know nothing about the animal research that was needed to produce these treatments, as well as new treatments and vaccines, animal research seems wasteful at best and cruel at worst.

Much can be done. Scientists could give middle school lessons and present their own research. They should be quick to respond to letters to the editor, in case animal rights misinformation goes unchallenged and gains a false appearance of truth. Research institutions could be opened to tours, to show that laboratory animals receive humane care. Finally, because there are a lot of patients, the health research community should actively admit to its cause not only well-known personalities such as Stephen Cooper, who has made courageous statements about the value of animal research, but all who receive medical treatment. If good people do nothing, there is a real possibility that uninformed citizens will wipe out the precious of medical progress.

72．The purpose of the author beginning his article with Edmund Burke's words is to ___________.

A．call on scientists to take some actions

B．argue against the cause of animal rights

C．warn of the failure of biomedical research

D．show the success of the animal rights movement

73．In the eyes of the author, misguided people are likely to think that using an animal in research is ___________.

A．cruel but necessary　　　　　　　　　B．justice but unnecessary

C．meaningful and wasteful　　　　　　　D．inhuman and unacceptable

74．What can be inferred from the passage?

A．People care very little about returns of epidemics.

B．The public lacks knowledge of biomedical science.

C．Stephen Cooper is very seriously concerned about animal treatment.

D．Scientists should make efforts to develop new cures by means of hi-tech.

75．The underlined word "threatening" in paragraph 1 means ___________.

A．doing a favor to　　　　　　　　　 B．drawing attention to

C．causing a danger to.　　　　　　 D．making their way to
