       Some inventions are so useful, but seem so simple, that we wonder why no one thought of them long ago. Post - it Notes -- the pieces of paper that you can fasten almost anywhere and then remove without leaving any sign that they were there -- are an example of such an invention.

   Post- it Notes were invented about twenty years ago by Art Fry, a scientist at 3M Corporation. The idea for the product came from a frustrating (令人沮丧的) experience he often had while singing in his church choir(唱诗班). Fry used pieces of paper as bookmarks to mark the places in his book of songs, but these bookmarks were always falling out. He knew he needed a bookmark that would stay where he put it, but that he could remove without damaging the pages.

    Around that time, Fry heard about a new adhesive (粘合剂) that a colleague (同行), Dr. Spence Silver, bad created. This adhesive was special because it was sticky, but not too sticky. It was strong enough to hold papers together, but weak enough to not tear the paper when it was removed. Fry saw that the new adhesive could help solve his bookmark problem. One morning, Fry put some of the adhesive on the edge of a piece of paper. Just as he hoped, it made a perfect bookmark.

    A short time later, Fry realized that his new invention bad even more uses than being a great bookmark. He came to this realization when he wrote a note on one of his new "bookmarks" and attached (附着) it to a report he was going to give to a colleague. Soon, co - workers were asking Fry\" for more samples(样品) of his invention so that they could use the new type of notes themselves.

    Fry and some other people at 3M believed so much in the new product that they persuaded the company to give away thousands of the "sticky pieces of paper" for trial use. When some salespeople at 3M ;vent to offices and showed workers just how helpful the new type of notes could be, they immediately received many orders. As more and more people discovered how useful Post - it Notes could be, the product took off.

       59. The invention of Post - it Notes showed that Art Fry        

       A. had a lot of knowledge                  

       B. was very hard -working

       C. was good at creative(创造性的) thinking    

       D. loved his job in the church

       60. In what way did Dr. Spence help Art Fry?

       A. They worked together and often discussed science.

       B. His invention of a special adhesive made Art\" s invention possible.

       C. He persuaded 3M Corporation to give away lots of Post -it Notes for trial use.

       D. He cooperated with Art by providing the new adhesive for Art.

       61. Which of the following is a possible use of Post - it Notes?

       A. A note on a friend\"s door.         

       B. An e -mail to a friend.

       C. A postcard from abroad.            

       D. An ad in a newspaper.

 

C

       The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospital may play an important role in helping patients to get better.

       As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the museums and into public places, some of the country’s best artists have been called in to change older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2500 national health service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have very valuable collections of present art in passages, waiting areas and treatment rooms.

       These recent movements first started by one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital on northeastern England during the early 1970s.

 

He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience.

A common hospital waiting room might have as many as 5,000 visitors each week. What a better place to hold regular exhibitions of art! Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the outpatients waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britain’s first hospital artist, Senior was so much  in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates.

The effect is striking. Now in the passages and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colors, playful images(形象) and restful courtyards.

       The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view onto garden needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.

       62. Some best artists have been gathered to _________ .

       A. pull down older hospitals and build up new ones

       B. make the corners of the hospital building round

       C. bring art into hospitals

       D. help patients recover from illness

       63. From this text, we’ve learnt that ________.

       A. artists in Britain have completely lost their places in modern society

       B. patients should be encouraged to learn art

       C. hospitals in Britain should be changed into art museums

       D. art is encouraged to be introduced into British hospitals

       64. After the improvement of the hospital environment, _______.

       A. patients no longer need drugs to kill their pains

       B. patients needn’t buy any expensive drugs

       C. patients need fewer pain killers when they are getting better after illness

       D. patients can take fewer pills each time

        65. It can be inferred from this text that ________.

       A.  the role of hospital environment is being recognized

       B.hospital artists have done a lot for patients

       C. exhibitions of art in hospital attract more audience than that in museums

       D. hospitals in Britain look more beautiful than those in other countries

       Chameleons are tree dwelling lizards. There are approximately eighty-five different kinds of chameleons in the world. About half the species occur in Madagascar; others occur mostly in Africa, south of the Sahara. Two species occur in western Asia, one in southern India and Sri Lanka and the other in northern Africa.

       Chameleons are remarkable creatures because they are able to change the color of their skin. Nerves cause areas of color to spread out or shrink to the size of tiny dots. When chameleons are angry, the color became darker and brighter. However, when they are afraid, their skin becomes lighter.

       Most chameleons are 17-25 centimeters long; the longest grows to 60 centimeters. The chameleon\"s tail is sometimes curled and its bulged eyes can move independently of each other. Some male chameleons have three long horns coming out of their heads. These are meant to intimidate any intruders.

       Most chameleons eat insects but large chameleons also eat birds. Most species lay eggs; they come down from trees to lay eggs safely in the soil. They can lay between 2 and 40 eggs.

       66. How many different species of chameleons can be found throughout the world?

       A. 17.       B. 25.      C. 60.        D. 85.

       67. How do chameleons react when they are angry?

       A. They hide themselves in the soil.

       B. They climb down from the trees.

       C. They change the shape of their eyes.

       D. They darken their skin color.

       68. The third paragraph is about ________.

       A. where chameleons live

       B. the physical features of chameleons

       C. how chameleons capture their food

       D. different types of chameleons that exist

       69. Another word for "intimidate", as it is used in the passage, is ________.

       A. compare               B. frighten

       C. recognize              D. observe

       70. The passage states that ________

       A. the nervous system of the chameleon controls its skin color.

       B. three different species of chameleon can be found in Sri Lanka.

       C. a chameleon will lose its tail as it gets older.

       D. chameleons usually lay only one egg.

       Experiments on monkeys were viewed much more negatively than those involving mice. Indeed, only experiments to test or develop drugs to treat childhood leukemia were seen as justifying monkeys suffering. In Britain, experiments involving primates are very tightly controlled. Researchers must convince government officials that the knowledge to be gained justifies any suffering to the animals, and that that adequate date cannot be obtained by using other species.

       In practice, this means that monkeys are unlikely to be used in leukemia research, as the disease can be studied in other animals. But attempts to develop AIDS vaccines depend heavily on experiments with related viruses in monkey, in which some of the animals are likely to become ill. Our poll indicated that a majority of British people would oppose these experiments.

       In the US, where regulations are less stringent, the goal of developing an AIDS vaccine is seen as sufficient justification for injection chimpanzees, our nearest relatives, with potentially lethal strains of HIV. And while most people are probably not aware of such facts, 64per cent of those we polled judged correctly that regulations governing animal experiments in Britain are as strict, or stricter, than those in other developed countries. Just 11 percent though those British rules are less strict, while 24 percent said they didn’t know.

       In one respect, however, our poll reveals a disturbing gap in people’s knowledge, which the British government might want to address. No prescription drug is marketed without first being tested in animals, yet people are either unaware that this is the case, or don’t want to acknowledge the fact, While 35 percent of the people we polled said they or close family member had been prescribed a drug for a serious illness in the past two years or so, lonely 18 percent of these people-6 percent of the total sample-knew it had been tested on animals. Significantly, this small group was more favorably disposed to animal experimentation than the larger number who said they weren’t aware their drugs had been tested on animals. Indeed, with 66 percent of then backing animal research in our question, they were more positive about animal experiments than everyone we polled except the hunters and fur coat wearers.

       While people may not be in full possession of the facts about animal research, many experiments that arte licensed in Britain-including hundreds of thousands of toxicity tests and fundamental biological studies-could be banned if regulators were to follow the majority views expressed in our poll.

       People can clearly weigh the pros and cons of animal experimentation. It’s time for those who want to pursue a peaceful debate to seize the initiative.

       71. Most people ignore the fact that         .

       A. no new drugs would ever be developed without monkeys being involved

       B. all the prescription drugs sold on market have been tested on animals

       C. leukemia can hardly be studied in animals other than monkeys

       D. adequate data can still be obtained without using monkeys in animal research

       72. In the US, it is believed that ___.

       A. monkeys can be involved in the experimentation to develop an AIDS vaccine

       B. to test potential lethal drugs on animals isn’t justifiable in any case

       C. animal research is justified only if it helps us gain new knowledge

       D. the regulations governing animal research should be less strict

       73. According to this passage, ___ of those being polled were aware that the drug they had been prescribed had been tested on animals.

       A. 6%    B. 18%    C. 35%    D. 66%

       74. We can learn from this passage, ___ may be negative about animal experimentation.

       A. the hunters and fur coat wearers

       B. those who support animal research

       C. those who are unaware that their drugs had been tested on animals

       D. those who are in full possession of the facts about animal research

       75. The author’s attitude toward animal experimentation is ___.

       A. negative               B. positive

       C. subjective              D. objective
