(23)_ _a sudden sw
12、itch of interest to the depth of the sea seems peculiar.To explain, Id like to share my reasons behind this unusual change of mind. The first reason I give is an economic one. Underwater exploration is so much cheaper than space flight. (24)_On the other hand, the diving suit and a set of basic tool
13、s needed for diving can be bought for 120 dollars. My second argument is more philosophical. The ocean, surprisingly enough, has many things in common with space. (25)_.

SECTION II READING (40 points)Part A Reading Comprehension (15 items, 2 points for each item) In this part of the test, you will read three passages. For each passage there are five questions or unfi

16、ht, fellowship with any stranger whom I identify as left-handed. We are in a minority of about one tenth of the worlds population. Though I cannot claim to have been much inconvenienced by my left-handedness, let alone persecuted for it, there are countries where children who show a preference for u
17、sing their left hand are cajoled or forced by adults into using their right. The author of the book Left-handedness? Its a right mystery, who is himself left-handed, decided to explore the biological and social meaning of left-handedness. Why does Man have a dominant hand at all? Is left-handedness
18、inherited, or is it environmental? Why is left-handedness everywhere regarded as well, sinister (evil in appearance)? Readers should not be disappointed by the authors weak attempts to be funny: he writes much better when he is simply relaying the scientific issues without his own explanation. In ad
19、dition to the opinions of scientists, he seeks those of practitioners of fringe(边缘) activities such as palmistry(手相术) and graphology, and takes part in a left-handed golf game in Japan. These leave him none the wiser. Even the scientists who study the question have not found the answer to why Man sh
20、ould show such marked right-sided dominance. Moreover, it is not yet certain whether Man is the only creature to do so. One hypothesis is that left-handers differ genetically from right-handers. They have a slight tendency to certain mental illnesses and more of them suffer from physical or mental d
21、isability. But larger numbers of them are highly intelligent or especially gifted, so mankind needs a certain number, though, perhaps, not too many of them. It is hardly surprising that there are no conclusive answers to a scientific question so complex. Left-handers will emerge from reading this wi
22、th confirmation of what they always secretly believed: left-handers are superior to right-handers; while right-handers will appear glad that they belong to the majority.26. Where would you most probably find this passage? A. In a scientific report. B. In a dictionary.C. In a travelogue. D. In a news
23、paper.27.

The purpose of the
24、book is to _.A. collect all the scientific and superstitious findings about left-handednessB. explain the biological and social implication of left-handednessC. find out why most people are right handedD. prove that left-handers are superior to right-handers29. Which statement is INCORRECT according
25、 to the passage?A. Parents in some countries tend to discourage left-handedness.B. Scientists failed to find out why most people are right-handed.C. Other creatures might also be right-hand dominant.D. Palmistry and graphology helped the writer a lot in solving the mystery.30. After reading the book
26、, _. A. everybody will be happy with being themselvesB. people will be surprised at the conclusion of the bookC. left-handers will be glad because theyre more giftedD. right-handers will be glad because theyre more normalTEXT B Cooking it sets us apart from the animals. Weve moved on from the catch-
27、it-eat-it custom and developed a more civilized way to consume nosh. We burn it, boil it and do everything we can to make sure its dead before putting it in our mouths. None of us wants to put something alive and kicking down our throats. Nobody, that is, except proponents of living food. According
28、to them, dead food has been robbed of vast amounts of goodness and is nowhere near as nutritious as food thats alive. Now, before we get carried away, these guys arent suggesting you eat beef that is still mooing (although they do claim youd get more nutritional value if you did). No, the thrust of
29、their argument is that we should consume more living vegetables. There is a huge difference between raw food and living food, says Michael Bedar from the Tree of Life, an organization leading the way in what it calls spiritual nutrition. “Being fresh off the tree or vine is one part of living food,” he says. “It is still growing.
