4.Society is the term to describe human beings gathered together by social networks t and power networks.It does not refer to everything everybody thinks or does,but,only refer to those things that everybody depends upon,for example,public services,governments,and all kinds of communities.
A society must keep even the poorest and weakest members willing to help even the richest and strongest,so it is very concerned with citizenship,rights,ethics (倫 理)and time limits.These are basic ways to achieve fairness.If they break down badly,people will think the society is unfair and start taking things from each other,refusing to help each other,or seeing those who have more as cheats.
When this happens,it is time for the society to break down or fail.Theft,violence and war are things that can make a society break down.A new society may be formed out of the collapse (崩潰)of an old failed one when people of different kinds reach an agreement about fairness and are willing to live together in harmony again.
To adapt to the society,people should make sure that their behavior can be supported by the society,that is to say,there must be some social rules on which citizens base what they do.However,some people take risks that the society will support them when they do whatever they intend to.For instance,they may refuse to obey the law,and count on their fellow society members to free them in a court of appeal,which harms the society.
Therefore we need a social contract which sets out rules for the society.One kind of the social contract is a constitution (憲法)-which allows a jury or court to decide what is right or wrong according to the social rules.

分析 文章講述了社會的構(gòu)成.社會是有公共設(shè)施,政府和團(tuán)體構(gòu)成的.理想的社會應(yīng)該是人人都互相幫助,公民權(quán)利,倫理道德起著很大的作用.一旦社會規(guī)則被破壞,那么社會就會解體,新的社會就會取代.因此,建立在公平基礎(chǔ)上的社會規(guī)則很重要,憲法就是這樣的規(guī)則,它可以讓人們知道什么是對的,什么是錯的.

解答 答案:48.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.文章第一段說only refer to those things that everybody depends upon,for example,public services,governments,and all kinds of communities社會指的是所有事物和每個人賴以生存的東西.故選B.

12.Towards evening,Jennifer was walking on the beach with a gentle breeze blowing through her hair.Looking up at the golden red sun ball,she was surprised by its color,deep red in the middle,softly fading into yellow.She could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky.
The atmosphere relaxed her.This was what she needed."It's getting late,"she thought,"I must go home.My parents will be wondering where I am."She wondered how her parents would react when she got home after the three days she was missing.She kept on walking,directing herself to bungalow(平房)163,where she spent every summer holiday.The road was deserted.She walked slowly and silently.Just in a few hundred meters,she would have been safe in her house.
It was really getting dark now.She wished she had her favorite coat on.It might keep her really warm.She imagined having it with her.This thought dissipated(消散) when she finally saw her front door.It seemed different.Nobody had taken care of the outside garden for a few days.She was shocked:her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy,and now…

"Dear Ellen,there's some coffee ready; I went looking."But where was Ellen?On the right side of the hallway was her parents'room.She went in and saw her.Her mother,lying on the bed,was sleeping.Her face looked so tired,as if she hadn't slept for days.She was really pale.Jennifer would have wanted to wake her up,but she looked too tired.So Jennifer just fell asleep beside her.When Jennifer woke up something was different.She wasn't in her mother's room and she wasn't wearing the old clothes she ran away in.She was in her cozy bed in her pajamas(睡衣).
It felt so good being back home.Suddenly she heard a voice."Are you feeling better now,dear?You know you got us very,very scared."

19.Oscar the cat seems to have an unnatural ability for predicting when nursing home patients are going to die,by curling up (蜷伏) next to them during their final hours.His accuracy,observed in 25 cases,has led the staff to call family members once he has chosen someone.It usually means the patient has less than four hours to live."Many family members take some comfort from it.They appreciate the companionship that the cat provides for their dying loved one,"said Dosa,a doctor and assistant professor of medicine at Brown University.
The 2-year-old cat was adopted as a kitten and grew up in a third-floor dementia (癡呆) unit at the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center,where the facility treats people with Alzheimer's,Parkinson's disease and other illnesses.After about six months,the staff noticed Oscar would make his own rounds,just like the doctors and nurses.He'd smell and observe patients,then sit beside people who would end up dying in a few hours.Dosa said Oscar seems to take his work seriously."This is not a cat that's friendly to people,"he said.
"Oscar is better at predicting death than the people who work here,"said Dr.Joan Teno of Brown University,who treats patients at the nursing home and is an expert on care for the terminally ill.She was convinced of Oscar's talent when he made his 13th correct call.While observing one patient,Teno said she noticed the woman wasn't eating,was breathing with difficulty and that her legs had a bluish color,signs that often mean death is near.Oscar wouldn't stay inside the room,though,so Teno thought bis streak was broken. Instead,it turned out the doctor's prediction was roughly 10 hours too early.Sure enough,during the patient's final two hours,nurses told Teno that Oscar joined the woman at her bedside.
Doctors say most of the people who get a visit from the sweet-faced,gray-and-white cat are so ill that they probably don't know he's there,so patients aren't aware he's a predictor of death.Most families are grateful for the advance warning,although one wanted Oscar out of the room while a family member died.When Oscar is put outside,he paces and meows his displeasure.
No one's certain if Oscar's behavior is scientifically significant or points to a cause.Teno wonders if the cat senses mysterious scents or reads something into the behavior of the nurses who raised him.Nursing home staff aren't concerned with explaining Oscar,so long as he gives families a better chance at saying goodbye to the dying.The staff recently gave Oscar a wall sign publicly praising his"sympathetic care."

41.What makes Oscar the cat so special?D
A.He observes the cases of dying patients. B.He curls up next to the patients.
C.He calls family members to the hospital. D.He senses when patients are to die.
42.The passage tells us OscarA.
A.would go round and observe patients         
B.may sometimes fail to predict death
C.is friendly and liked by every nurse         
D.was born and grew up in the hospital
43.The underlined words "his streak was broken" probably meanB.
A.his bones were severely injured             B.his magic power stopped working
C.his devotion to work got changed            D.his friendship with patients ended
44.From the passage,we learn thatC.
A.Oscar's behavior is scientifically significant      
B.Oscar can read something of the nurses'behavior
C.Oscar might like to stay with the dying patients   
D.Oscar is sympathetic to the dying patients
45.The best title for this passage is"C".
A.Cats Can Be Used for Looking After Patients      
B.Oscar,the Sweet-Faced,Gray-and-White Cat
C.As Death Comes Calling,So Does Oscar the Cat    
D.Oscar the Cat,the Best Helper of Our Hospital.

9.Junk is everywhere,even in space.But getting rid of space junk is much harder than simply cleaning your bedroom.Space junk travels at 8 kilometers a second,according to an article in the Guardian.Catching it is a bit of a challenge.
     Luckily,scientists at the Swiss space center have a new cleaning plan.Theyare about to send a"cleaner satellite"into space within the next five year?.It will clean up space junk,according to a report in the Guardian.
     Named"Clean Space One",the Swiss satellite finds its target and moves close to it.When it reaches its target,it will catch the junk with a gripping claw (抓手).This is not going to be an easy task because both the satellite and the junk are traveling so fast.
     Once Clean Space One has caught the junk,all it has to do to get rid of it is to fly back to Earth.This is because the junk will bum up when traveling through the atmosphere.The satellite itself will burn up a',the same time.
     Ever since people started to send objects into space more than 50 years ago,there has been junk in space.Junk on Earth like food wrappers (包裝紙)or waste paper is also a problem.But space junk is mainly made up of exploded rockets and broken satellites.If no one cleans them away,they just keep traveling around Earth.
     So far,NASA has found 16.000 pieces of junk that are larger than 10cm in diameter(直徑)and more than 500,000 pieces measuring between 1cm and 10cm.You can imagine how many even smaller ones there are in space.
     Space junk is dangerous for spacecraft (飛船) and the International Space Station.Even a very small piece could seriously damage-or even destroy-a satellite or space-craft if it collided (碰撞) with the junk.The International Space Station has to regularly change its orbit to avoid space junk,
     Space junk might also be a danger to humans.During the last four months,three very large spacecraft have fallen to Earth.Fortunately,no one was hurt because the junk landed in the ocean.
45.According to the article,space junkD.
    A.travels at the same speed as satellites
    B.could be cleared away within five years
    C.travels at 8 kilometers per hour
    D.will cause a lot of trouble to space stations
46.What will happen to the space junk if it is not cleaned up?C
    A.It will explode in a few years.
    B.It will drift away from Earth eventually.
    C.It will keep traveling around Earth.
    D.It will gather and become a large mass.
47.Which of the following is TRUE about a"cleaner satellite"?B
    A.The junk is dealt with after it reaches Earth.
    B.Catching space junk is difficult for a satellite.
    C.The'satellite can catch several pieces of junk at once.
    D.The satellite goes back to space after it has finished its task.
48.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A
    A.The history of space junk dates back 50 years.
    B.Space stations travel in the same orbit as the junk.
    C.Space junk is harmless to people on Earth.
    D.It's impossible to stop space junk from colliding with spacecrafts.
