7．Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable，whether you are a booklover or merely go there to buy a book as a present．You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower．
Whatever the reason，you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings．The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust-jacketis irresistible，although this method of selection ought not to be followed，as you might end up with a rather dull book．You soon become absorbed in some book or other，and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment-without buying a book，of course．
     This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is，I think，the main attraction of a bookshop．There are not many places where it is possible to do this．A music shop is very much like a bookshop．You can wander round such places to your heart's content．If it is a good shop，no assistant will approach you with the unavoidable greeting："Can I help you，sir？"You needn't buy anything you don't want．In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finis hed browsing．Then，and only then，are his services necessary．Of course，you may want to find out where a particular sec tion is，but when he has led you there，the assistant should retire considerately and look as if he is not interested in se lling a single book．
     You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop．It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on，say ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest bestselling novel and perhaps a book about brass-rubbing--something which had only slightly interested you up till then．This volume on the subject，however，happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting that you just had to buy it．This sort of thing can be very dangerous．Apart from running up a huge account，you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section．
51．The underlined phrase"dust jacket"meansB．
A．a(chǎn) kind of clothes           
B．a(chǎn) paper cover of a book
C．a(chǎn) dusty book

15．A wood fire can be handy when you're camping．You can roast marshmallows or stay warm，for example．Forest fires that rage out of control，however，are a big problem．
Wildfires cause hundreds of millions of dollars in damage every year．And the amount of destruction has grown over the last 2 decades，especially in the western United States．
To understand better why the northern Rocky Mountains region has been hit especially hard by wildfires，scientists from the University of Arizona in Tucson looked at weather，snow，and fire records from 1970 to 2003．^
Their study showed that，between 1987 and 2003，fires burned an area 6.5 times larger than the area burned between 1970 and 1986．The fire season also started earlier-，and its average length increased by 78 days．
Warmer spring and summer temperatures appear to be part of the explanation for this change．The average temperature in the study's more recent period was 0.871 higher than it was in the earlier period．And this trend is likely to continue．Experts predict that average summer temperatures may rise between 2¾and 5¾by the year 2050 in western North America．‘
Hie timing of snowmelt appears to be another cause of the fire boom．When snow melts early in the season，forests become drier through the summer and catch fire and burn more easily．Western snow packs now typically melt a week to a month earlier than they did 50 years ago，according to recent studies．
Some people have blamed the growing fire risk on policies that allow bush and branches to build up on forest floors．But clearing bush by itself won't help much if changes in climate are largely responsible for increasingly severe forest fires．
43．The main purpose of studying the records from 1970 to 2003 was toD．
A．find out solutions to forest fires
B．prevent wildfires from happening frequently-
C．know more about the climate changes in the past decades
D．find out the causes of wildfires in the northern Rocky Mountains region
44．Scientists fix＞m the University of Arizona found out the following EXCEPTD
A．western snow packs melt earlier than they did 50 years ago
B．fires burned larger area between 1987．a(chǎn)nd 2003 than between 1970 and 1986
C．the fire season between 1987 and 2003 was longer than that between 1970 and 1986
D．the average summer temperature will be I9C and 5¾higher by 2050 than it is now
45．Which of the following statements will Scientists from the University of Arizona agree to？C
A．More wildfires lead to the trend of global warming．
B．Hot summers have nothing to do with the increasing wildfires．
C．The earlier snow melts，the more probably forest fires will happen．
46．Clearing bush will help control the increasingly severe forest fires．What is the main idea the author aims to express in the passage？C
A．The damages caused by wildfires．
B．The results of a study on wild fires．
C．The causes of fires in the United States．
D．The changes in climate in the western United States．

2．A new college guide in the United States compares educational requirements in seven subjects．These include math，science，writing and United States history or government．The other subjects are economics，foreign language and literature．
The free online guide is from the American Council of Trustees and Alumni．The council is a nonprofit group that supports liberal arts education．
Its president，Anne Neal，says these areas of knowledge are needed to succeed in a twenty-first century society and an increasingly connected world．Yet she told VOA's Faiza Elmasry it was surprising how many students can graduate with，in her words，a"thin education．"
Forty-two of the one hundred colleges and universities surveyed received the lowest marks．This meant they required two or fewer of the seven subjects．Five schools received a top grade for requiring six subjects．These were Brooklyn College in New York City，Texas A&M，the University of Texas-Austin，West Point and the University of Arkansas．
Robert Costrell is a professor of education reform and economics at the University of Arkansas．He says many，if not all，of the top American colleges once had a core curriculum-a set of courses required for all students．
But over the years，many have dropped these requirements．Or they have watered them down，Professor Costrell says，into what became known as distribution requirements．This system lets a student choose from a number of different courses to satisfy a requirement．
ROBERT COSTRELL："And in many cases these courses went too far，I would say，towards the fluffy treatment of serious material，and students could satisfy their requirement by taking such courses．"
Professor Costrell says schools should not only re-examine what they teach．They should also measure what students have learned-for example，through some form of examinations or papers．
A new report this week from the College Board showed that college prices continue to rise．But Anne Neal from the American Council of Trustees and Alumni says higher prices do not guarantee a better general education．In fact，the group found that the higher the tuition，the more likely that students have to develop their own general education．
The college guide is on the Web at whatwilltheylearn．com．Anne Neal says her group is surveying more colleges．The hope，she says，is to discover what college graduates have really learned，and how ready they are to compete in the global marketplace．

67．Where does the passage probably come from？B
A．A scientific fiction．      B．A research newspaper．
C．A fashion magazine．        D．An entertainment newspaper．
68．The American Council of Trustees and Alumni does all the following EXCEPTD．
A．support liberal arts education
B．concern itself with education in America
C．devote time to helping improve college education
D．make money by helping with college education
69．The words"watered them down"underlined in Paragraph 6most likely mean"A．"
A．reduced required courses                   B．improved required courses
C．increased required courses                 D．developed required courses
70．In this passage，the new college guide mainly tells its readers that American colleges  shouldA．
A．meet the requirements of the new century
B．reduce the number of required courses
C．have different standards on required courses
D．cut down on their tuitions．

12．To help make up for sleep lost during marathon night flights，migrating（遷徙） birds take hundreds of power nap（小睡） during the day，each lasting a few seconds．
Every autumn，Swainson's thrushes（畫(huà)眉） fly up to 3，000miles from their breeding grounds in northern Canada and Alaska to winter in Central and South America．Come spring，the birds make the long trip back．
The birds fly mostly at night and often for long hours at a time，leaving little time for sleep．So to get through these tiresome periods，thrushes，during autumn and spring when the birds are normally migrating，change their sleep patterns，staying awake at night and resting during day．But instead of sleeping for a long period at a time，the birds took several naps a day，each one lasting only 9seconds on average．
The thrushes also mixed up their shut-eye sessions with two other forms of sleep．In one，called unilateral eye closure，or UEC，the birds rested one eye and one half of their brains while their other eye and half brain remained open and active，protecting them from danger．
The birds also occasionally slipped into another state，one that any college student who has ever been stuck in a boring lecture can relate to．Called drownsiness（睡意），this state is characterized by a partial shutting of both eyes that still allows for some visual processing．
"In terms of quality，drowsiness may be less useful than normal sleep，but it may also be safer．"said Fuchs．
What's interesting is that even animals should make up for sleep loss．That a need for sleep cannot be lost even in these birds means the importance of sleep for many，if not all，animals，not to mention human．

29．What would be the best title for the text？D
A．Migrating Birds Travel for Long Hours
B．Migrating Need Help
C．How Birds Migrate during Autumn
D．Migrating Birds Take Many Daily Power Naps
30．According to the text，when having drowsiness，the thrushesC．
A．will rest one eye and the other active
B．will often sleep during day
C．will still be careful with the possible dangers
D．will not see anything in front of them
31．What can we learn from the text？A
A．Sleep is important for human being．
B．Animals need sleep to rest．
C．Migrating birds need sleep only during day．
D．College students often have drowsiness in fall．

19．Some people are like homing pigeons：Drop them off anywhere，and they'll find their way around．Other people，though，can't tell when they're holding a map upside down．Are the directionally challenged just bad learners？
Not all of your navigational （導(dǎo)航的）skills are learned．Research shows that your sense of direction is innate．An innate ability is something you are born with．Your brain has special navigational neurons-head-direction cells，place cells，and grid cells （網(wǎng)格細(xì)胞）-and they help program your inside compass when you're just a baby．
In 2010，scientists carried out an experiment to study baby rats'neural activity in their brains．Although the rats were newborns，the researchers discovered that their head-direction cells （which help them recognize the direction they're facing） were fully grown and developed．The rats，it seemed，were born with a sense of direction．And they hadn't even opened their eyes yet!
Humans，of course，are not rats．But the hippocampus-the brain area we use for navigation-is similar in most mammals．If the rat's compass develops this way，then it's likely that a human's compass does，too．
If we're born with a sense of direction，then why are some people so good at getting lost？The scientists found that the two other cells-place and grid cells-developed within the first month．Place cells are thought to help us form a map in our mind，while grid cells help us navigate new and unfamiliar places．The two cells work together，and that's where the trouble might be．
People who took part in a 2013study played a video game that required them to travel quickly between different places．Monitoring their brains，the scientists found that grid cells helped the gamers recognize where they were-even without landmarks．According to researcher Michael Kahana，differences in how grid cells work may help explain why some people have a better sense of direction than others．

32．What did the 2010research find？A
A．Rats have a natural ability to recognize directions．
B．Rats'hippocampus is different from that of humans．
C．Rats usually find their way without opening their eyes．
D．Baby rats have as many head-direction cells as grown-ups．
33．What do we know about our navigational neurons？D
A．Place cells let us know how to read a map．
B．Grid cells help us reach the place we are going to．
C．They help us use a compass when we lose our way．
D．Place and grid cells grow later than head-direction cells．
34．Why are some people so good at getting lost？B
A．They can't remember landmarks．
B．Their grid cells can't work very well．
C．They are unfamiliar with new places．
D．Their ability to follow directions is poor．
35．What is the text mainly about？A
A．Human navigational skills．
B．The compass in rats'body．
C．Why grid cells are useful．
