4．The children were always good during August，especially when it got near the twenty-third．It was on this day that the great silver spaceship carrying Professor Hugo's Interplanetary Zoo settled down for its annual six-hour visit to the Chicago area．
Before daybreak the crowds would form，long lines of children and adults，each one grasping their dollar，and waiting with excitement to see what strange creatures the Professor would bring this year．In the past they had sometimes been treated to three-legged creatures from Venus，or tall，thin men from Mars，or even snakelike horrors from somewhere more distant．This year，as the great ship settled slowly in the huge parking area，they watched with awe as the sides slowly slid up to reveal the familiar barred cages．
In them were some wild race of nightmare-small，horse-like animals that moved with quick motions and constantly made high-pitched sounds．The citizens of Earth pushed around as Professor Hugo's crew quickly collected the waiting dollars．The good Professor called into his microphone，"People of Earth，this year you see a real treat for your single dollar-the little-known horse-spider people of Kaan-across a million miles of space brought at great expense．"
The crowds slowly filed by，at once horrified and fascinated by these strange creatures that looked like horse but ran up the walls of their cages like spiders．"This is certainly worth a dollar!"one man remarked，hurrying away．
As the ship rose from the ground the Earth people agreed that this had been the very best zoo yet…
Some two months and three planets later，the silver ship of Professor Hugo settled at last onto the familiar planet of Kaan，and the horse-spider creatures filed quickly out of their cages．In one home，the she-creature was happy to see the return of her mate and offspring．"It was a long time you were gone．Was it good？"
The he-creature nodded．"The little one enjoyed it especially．We visited eight worlds and saw many things．"
"On the place called Earth it was the best．The creatures there wear garments over their skins，and they walk on two legs．"the little one smiled．
"But isn't it dangerous？"asked the she-creature．
"No，"her mate answered．"There are bars to protect us from them．We remain right in the ship．Next time you must come with us．It is well worth the nineteen commocs it costs．"
And the little one nodded．"It was the very best Zoo ever…"
21．Which of the following about Professor Hugo's zoo is true？B
A．The animals in the zoo were dangerous．
B．The horse-spider people thought the Earth people were the animals in the zoo．
C．Professor Hugo forced the horse-spider people to travel to Earth．

A．They were able to talk to the horse-spider people．
B．They knew the horse-spider people were dangerous and cruel．
C．They were afraid of the horse-spider people．
D．They were cheated by those horse-spider people．
23．What does"file by"in Paragraph 4 mean？A

24．Where does this text probably come from？A
A．Science fiction．
B．Children's literature．

15．Last year I ruined my summer vacation by bringing along a modern convenience that was too convenient for my own good：the iPad．Instead of looking at nature，I checked my e-mail．Instead of paddling a small boat，I followed my Twitter feed（推特簡訊）．Instead of reading great novels，I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning．I was behaving as if I were still in the office．My body was on vacation，but my head wasn't．
    So this year I made up my mind to try something different：withdrawal（退出）from the Internet．I knew it wouldn't be easy，since I'm bad at self-control．But I was determined．I started by giving the iPad to my wife．
    The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past，making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration （沮喪）．I was trapped，forced to go through with my plan．Largely cut off from e-mail，Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites，I had few ways to connect to the world except for the radio-and how much radio can one listen to，really？I had to do what I had planned to do all along：read books．
    This experience has had a happy ending．With determination and the strong support of my wife，I won in my vacation straggle against the Internet，realizing finally that it was I，not the iPad，that was the problem．I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi．"I don't need it，"I said．
    However，as we return to post-vacation life，a harder test begins：Can I continue when I'm back at work？
    There are times when the need to know what's being said right now is great．I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely．But I hope to resist the temptation （誘惑）to check my e-mail every five minutes，which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two．
I think a vacation is supposed to help you reset your brain to become more productive．Here I hope this one worked．
18．What do we know about the author's last summer vacation？D
A．He was determined to enjoy the beautiful view．
B．His iPad ruined his plan of finishing a great novel．
C．He felt satisfied that he had stuck to his usual timetable．

C．He refused to cheat in his house．
D．He listened to the radio most of the time．
20．When back at work，the author will probably choose toC．
A．stay away from the Internet for ever   
B．continue to road more and more books
C．keep control of when and how to use the Internet
D．stop checking what is being said right now completely
21．What is the author's opinion of a great vacation in the passage？D

9．Well，to pick up where we left off last time，I believe we agreed that creativity is a mysterious idea．It is those things we all recognize when we see it，but we don't really understand what it is．We seem to feel that some people are naturally creative，but we don't know how they got that way．Is creativity a natural gift like good looks，or is it something that can be acquired like knowledge？Perhaps if we analyze the creative process carefully，we might get some insight into what it is and how it might work in our lives．The creative process has always been accepted as the source of all important work in the arts，but we should not think the creativity plays a role only in the arts．Every major scientific discovery began with someone imagining the world to look differently from the way others saw it．And this is what creativity is all about--imagining the world in a new way．And despite what you may believe about the limits of your own creative imaginations，we all have the potential to imagine the world in an absolutely new way．In fact，you are born with it．It is your birth right as a human being．And what's more，you use it every day，almost every moment of your life．Your creative imagination is what you use to make sense of your experiences．（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10WORDS．）

13．Watching some children trying to catch butterflies one August afternoon，I was reminded of an incident in my own childhood．When I was a boy of twelve in South Carolina，something happened to me that made me never put any wild creature （living thing）in a cage．?
We lived on the edge of a forest，and every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come and rest in the trees and sing．There isn't a musical instrument made by man that can produce a more beautiful sound than the song of the mockingbird．
I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way，I would have my own private musician．
I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage．At first，being frightened，the bird fluttered（撲騰）about the cage，but finally it settled down in its new home．I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my little musician．
On the second day of the bird's captivity，my new pet's mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth．The baby bird ate everything she brought to it．I was pleased to see this．Certainly the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby．
The following morning when I went to see how my captive （caged） bird was doing，I discovered it on the floor of the cage，dead．I was terribly surprised!What had happened!I had taken excellent care of my little bird，or so I thought．
Arthur Wayne，the famous ornithologist，who happened to be visiting my father at the time，hearing me crying over the death of my bird，explained what had happened．"A mother mockingbird，finding her young in a cage，will sometimes bring it poison berries（毒莓）．She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in a cage．"?
Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage．All living creatures have a right to live free．
21．Why did the writer catch a mocking-bird when he was a boy of 12？B
A．He had just got a new cage．
B．He wanted it to sing for him．
C．He liked its beautiful feather．
D．He wanted a pet for a companion．
22．The mocking-bird died because itC．
A．was frightened to death               
B．refused to eat anything
C．a(chǎn)te the poisonous food its mother gave it  
D．drank the poisonous water by mistake
23．What is the most important lesson the writer learned from the incident？A
A．Freedom is very valuable to all creatures
B．Be careful about food you give to baby birds
C．You should keep the birds from their mother
D．All birds put in a cage won't live long．

14．The gift of being able to describe a face accurately is a rare one，as every experienced police officer knows to his cost．As the Lancet put it recently，"When we try to describe faces precisely，words fail us，and we resort to identikit （拼臉型圖） procedures．"
Yet，according to one authority on the subject，we can each probably recognize more than 1，000faces，the majority of which differ in fine details．This，when one comes to think of it，is a tremendous feat，though，curiously enough，relatively little attention has been devoted to the fundamental problems of how and why we acquire this gift for recognizing and remembering faces．Is it an inborn property of our brains，or an acquired one？As so often happens，the experts tend to differ．
Thus，some argue that it is inborn，and that there are"special characteristics about the brain's ability to distinguish faces"．In support of this，they note how much better we are at recognizing a face after a single encounter than we are，for example，in recognizing an individual horse．On the other hand，there are those，and they are probably in the majority，who claim that the gift is an acquired one．
The arguments in favor of this latter view，it must be confessed，are impressive．It is a habit that is acquired soon after birth．Watch，for instance，how a quite young baby recognizes his mother by sight．Granted that his other senses help-the sound，his sense of smell，the distinctive way she handles him．But of all these，sight is predominant．Formed at the very beginning of life，the ability to recognize faces quickly becomes an established habit，and one that is，essential for daily living，if not necessarily for survival．How essential and valuable it is we probably do not appreciate until we encounter people who have been deprived of the faculty．
This unfortunate inability to recognize familiar faces is known to all，but such people can often recognize individuals by their voices，their walking manners or their spectacles．With typical human ingenuity，many of these unfortunate people overcome their handicap by recognizing other characteristic features．

72．It is stated in the passage thatD．
A．it is unusual for a person to be able to identify a face satisfactorily
B．the ability to recognize faces unhesitatingly is an unusual gift
C．quite a few people can visualize faces they have seen
D．few people can give exact details of the appearance of a face
73．What the author feels strange about is thatB．
A．people have the tremendous ability to recognize more than 1，000 faces
B．people don't think much of the problem of how and why we acquire the ability to recognize and remember faces
C．people don't realize how essential and valuable it is for them to have the ability to recognize faces
D．people have been arguing much over the way people recognize and remember faces
74．What is the first suggested explanation of the origin of the ability？C
A．It is one of the characteristics peculiar to human beings．
B．It is acquired soon after birth．
C．It is something we can do from the very moment we are born．
D．It is learned from our environment and experiences．
75．This passage seems to emphasize thatA．
A．the ability to recognize individuals is dependent on other senses as well as sight
B．sight is indispensable （必需的） to recognizing individuals
C．the ability to recognize faces is a special inborn ability of the brain
D．the importance of the ability of recognizing faces is fully appreciated by people．
