Research on animal intelligence always makes us wonder just how smart humans
are. Consider the fruit
fly experiments described by Carl Zimmer in the Science
Times. Fruits flies who were taught to be smarter than the average fruit fly31to
live shorter lives. This suggests that32bulbs burn longer, that there is an advantage
in not being too bright.
Intelligence, it turns out, is a high
priced option. It takes more upkeep, burns
more fuel and is slow 33 the starting line because it depends on learning a
(an)34process instead of instinct. Plenty of other species are able to learn, and
one of the things they’ve apparently learned is when to stop.
Is there an adaptive value to35intelligence? That’s the question behind this
new reach. Instead of casting a wistful glance backward at all the species we’ve
left in the dust. I.Q.wise, it implicitly asks what the real36of our own intelligence
might be. This is on the mind of every animal we’ve ever met.
Research on animal intelligence also makes us wonder what experiments animals
would37on humans if they had the chance. Every cat with an owner, for instance, is
running a small
scale study in operant conditioning. We believe that38animals ran
the labs, they would test us to determine the limits of our patience, our faithfulness,
our memory for location. They would try to decide what intelligence in humans is
really for, not merely how much of it there is.39, they would hope to study a

Ⅲ. Reading comprehension(Questions 41 to 60)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some
questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked
A, B, C and D. You should choose the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter
on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
A
Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have
found out that stress helps to bring it on. It is worthwhile to consider, therefore,
what the causes of stress are in our life, and whether we can do something about
them.
Are we under
employed, or overburdened with too many responsibilities? Do we
have a right balance of work and leisure in our lives? Are our relationships with
family, friends or fellow workers in a good state?
All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them honestly,
and to bring our frustration into the open. People who have a row and then forget
it are doing their health better than those who bottle up their feelings.
If our self
examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us
consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more
leisure and fill in more fun, if we will accept a different living standard. We can
improve our personal relationships by a different attitude. It is we who allow other
people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not
worth an hour’s anger. The teaching in the Bible “Let not the sun go down upon
your wrath” is good advice from the health point of view as well as the religious.

A. Changing our job.
B. Changing our attitude about little things that makes us unpleased.

A. Don’t let your anger last long
B. Don’t get angry even though the sun is going down
C. Something important that disturb us is worth an hour’s anger

Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take
effect.But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled—to
$1.01 per pack——smokers have jammed telephone“quit lines”across the country
seeking to kick the habit.
This is not a surprise to public health advocates.They’ve studied the effect
of state tax increases for years,finding that smokers,especially teens,are price
sensitive.Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax
increase.
The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the
message.Tobacco taxes improve public health , they raise money and most
particularly,the deter people from taking up the habit as teens,which is when nearly
all smokers are addicted.Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.
In Manhattan,for instance,which has the highest tax in the nation,a pack of
Marlboro Light Kings cost $10.06 at one drugstore.In Charleston,S.C., where the
7
pack tax is the lowest in the nation,the price was$4.78.

The influence is obvious.
In New York,high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys—13.8%,
far below the national average.By comparison,26% of high school students smoke
in Kentucky.Other low
smoking records.
Hal Rogers, Representative from Kentucky, like those who are against high
income Americans “who
tax states have similarly depressing teen
tobacco taxes, argues that the burden of the tax falls on low
choose to smoke”.
That’s true. But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low
income workers from getting hooked in the first place. As for today’s adults,
if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families,
cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and fell better.

In spite of“endless talk of difference”, American society is an amazing
machine for homogenizing people. This is “the democratizing uniformity of dress
and discourse, and the casualness and absence of deference” characteristic of
popular culture. People are absorbed into “a culture of consumption” launched by
the 19th century department stores that offered “vast arrays of goods in an elegant
atmosphere.” Instead of intimate shops catering to “a knowledgeable elite,” these
were stores “anyone could enter, regardless of class or background.” This turned
shopping into a public and democratic act. The mass media, advertising and sports
are other forces for homogenization.
Immigrants are quickly fitting into this common culture, which may not be
altogether elevating but is hardly poisonous. Writing for the National Immigration
Forum, Gregory, Rodriguez reports that today’s immigration is neither at
unprecedented level nor resistant to assimilation. In 1998 immigrants were 9.8
percent of population; in 1900, 13.6 percent. In the 10 years prior to 1990, 3.1
immigrants arrived for every 1,000 residents; in the 10 years prior to 1890, 9.2
for every 1,000. Now, consider three indices of assimilation
language, home
ownership and intermarriage.
The 1990 Census revealed that “a majority of immigrants from each of the fifteen
most common countries of origin spoke English ‘well’ or ‘very well’ after ten
years of residence”.
The children of immigrants tend to be bilingual and
proficient in English. “By the third generation, the original language is lost in
the majority of immigrant families. ” Hence the description of America as a
“graveyard” for languages. By 1996 foreign born immigrants who had arrived before
1970 had a home ownership rate of 75.6 percent, higher than the 69.8 percent rate
among native

Rodriguez notes that children in remote villages around the world are fans of
superstars like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks, yet “some Americans fear
that immigrants living within the United States remain somehow immune to the
nation’s assimilative power.”
Are there divisive issues and pockets of seething anger in America indeed? It
is big enough to have a bit of everything. But particularly when viewed against
America’s turbulent past, today’s social indices hardly suggest a dark and
deteriorating social environment.
56. The underlined word “homogenizing” in Paragraph 1 most probably means.
A. identifying
C. assimilating
B. associating
D. monopolizing
57. According to the author, the department stores of the 19th
centry .
A. played a role in the spread of popular culture
B. become intimate shops for common consumers
C. satisfied the needs of the knowledgeable elite
D. owed its emergence to the culture of consumption
58. The text suggests that immigrants now in the U.S..
A. are resistant to homogenization
B. exert a great influence on American culture
C. are hardly a threat to the common culture
D. constitute the majority of the population
59. Why are Arnold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks mentioned in Paragraph 5?
A. To prove their popularity around the world.
B. To reveal the public’s fear of immigrants.
C. To give examples of successful of immigrants.
D. To show the powerful influence of American culture.

is.
A. rewarding
