In fact, we can recognize the41 of our mother’s face well before we can recognize her body shape. It’s 42 how thebrain can carry out such a function at such a young age, especially since we don ’tlearn to walkand talk until we are over a year old. By the time we are adults, we have the ability to distinguisharound 100,000 faces. How can we remember so many faces when many of us find it difficult to43 such a simple thing as a phone number? The exact process is not yet fully understood, butresearch around the world has begun to define the specific areas of the brain and processes 44for facial recognition.Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology believe that they have succeeded in45 a specific area of the brain called the fusiform face area (FFA), which is used only for facial recognition. This means that recognition of familiar objects such as our clothes or cars, is from46 in the brain. Researchers also have found that the brain needs to see the whole face forrecognition to take place. It had been 47 thought that we only needed to see certain facial features. Meanwhile, research at University College London has found that facial recognition is not a single process, but 48 involves three steps. The first step appears to be an analysis of the physical features of a person’s face, which is similar to how we scan the bar codes of ourgroceries. In the next step, the brain decides whether the face we are looking at is already knownor unknown to us. And finally, the brain furnishes the information we have collected about the person whose face we are looking at. This complex 49 is done in a split second so that we can behave quickly when reacting to certain situations.III. Reading Comprehension Section AOver the past few decades, more and more countries have opened up the markets, increasinglytransformingthe worldeconomy intoone free-flowingglobal market. The question is： Iseconomic globalization50for all?According to the World Bank, one of its chief supporters, economic globalization has helpedreduce51ina large number ofdevelopingcountries. It quotes one studythat showsincreasedwealth52toimprovededucationandlonger life in twenty-fourdevelopingcountries as a result of integration ( 融合 ) of local economies into the world economy. Home tosome three billion people, these twenty-four countries have seen incomes53at an averagerate of five percent — compared to two percent in developed countries.Those who54globalization claim that economies in developing countries will benefitfromnew opportunitiesfor small and home-based businesses.55, small farmers in Brazilwhoproduce nuts that would originally have sold only in56open-air markets can nowpromote their goods worldwide by the Internet.Critics take a different view, believing that economicglobalizationis actually57thegap between the rich and poor. A study carried out by the U.N.-sponsored World Commission onthe Social Dimension of Globalization shows that only a few developing countries have actually58from integrationinto the worldeconomyand thatthepoor,theuneducated, unskilledworkers, and native peoples have been left behind.59, they maintain that globalization mayeventuallythreaten emerging businesses. For example, Indiancraftsmenwho currently seem tobenefit from globalization because they are able to60their products may soon face fiercecompetition that could put them out of61 . When large-scale manufacturers start to producethe same goods, or when superstores like Wal-Mart move in, these small businesses will not beable to62and will be crowded out.Onethingis certain about globalization — there is no63.

About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.”People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调 ). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of musicto pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy musicset them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. Infact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant ora shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties,”says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesn ’tinvolve defective hearing . Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’tsee certain colors.Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断 ). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say, ‘No thanks, I ’m amusic,’”says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”65. Which of the following is true of amusics?A. Listening to music is far from enjoyable for them.B. They love places where they are likely to hear music.C. They can easily tell two different songs apart.D. Their situation is well understood by musicians.66. According to paragraph 3, a person with “defective hearing ” is probably one who__________.A. dislikes listening to speeches B. can hear anything nonmusicalC. has a hearing problem D. lacks a complex hearing system67. In the last paragraph, Margaret expressed her wish that __________.A. her problem with music had been diagnosed earlierB. she were seventeen years old rather than seventyC. her problem could be easily explainedD. she were able to meet other amusics68. What is the passage mainly concerned with?A. Amusics ’strange behaviours. B. Some people’s inability to enjoy music.C. Musical talent and brain structure. D. Identification and treatment of amusics.BHome Laundry Automatic Dryer ProductFull Two Year Warranty (保修 )Limited Five Year Warranty on Cabinet ( 机箱 )Warranty Provides for ：FIRST TWO YEARS Amana will repair or replace any faulty part free of charge.THIRD THRU FIFTH YEARS Amana will provide a free replacement part for any cabinet whichproves faulty due torust ( 生锈 ) 。

The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.“ It ’ s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components ( 元件 ) , ” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team gotthe go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “ The added difficulty with a project likethis is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them allon our own, ” he said.They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “ The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it ’connecteds to, ”said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that theflying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal iseventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday performdata-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers the’ battlefieldfieldsoron.“Basically it should beable to take off, land and fly around, ”he said.Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “ Youcan start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, youknow, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robotsinstead, ” he said. “areSoatherelotof technologies and open interesting scientific questions thatare really what drives us on a day to day basis. ”72. The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that__________.A. they had no model in their mind B. they did not have sufficient timeC. they had no ready-made components D. they could not assemble the components73. It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly __________.A. consists of a flight device and a control systemB. can just fly in limited areas at the present timeC. can collect information from many sourcesD. has been put into wide application74. Which of the following can be learned from the passage?A. The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects.B. Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.C. There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.D. Wood ’s design can replace animals in some experiments.75. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Father of Robotic FlyB. Inspiration from Engineering ScienceC. Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life InsectD. Harvard Breaks Through in Insect StudyI. Translation1.今年元旦我们玩得很开心。
