Perhaps some early h unte rs found that they could roll the dead body of a heavy animal through the forest on logs more easily than they could car ry it.However , the logs · 127 ·

themselves weighed a lot.It must have taken a great prehistoric thinke r to imagine two thin slices of log connected a t their center s by a st rong stick.T his would roll along just as the log s did , yet be much light er and easier to handle.Th us the wheel and axle(輪

二、閱讀下面文字，完成7～10題。（共16分，每題4分）在所有靈長類動物中，人類的眼睛是最炯炯有神、引人注目的。通過眼睛，人們不僅能夠觀察外界，甚至能看出彼此的內心世界。為何人類的眼睛如此與眾不同？在對比了人類與其他81種靈長類動物的眼睛之后，科學家得出結論：只有人類擁有比臉上及其他部位顏色更淺的鞏膜——眼白。這個關鍵的解剖學特征加強了人類凝視的力量。而與此形成對照的是，其他靈長類動物都“隱藏”了自己的目光：他們有著暗色的鞏膜，這使對方很難確定它們鞏膜的邊緣，因而難以猜測它們的視線到底投向何方。事實上，也正因為我們如此獨特，我們的目光才具有更為豐富的含意。人類眼白的面積是其他靈長類動物的幾倍，這使得我們可以通過眼睛來表示我們在關注什么，也可以輕易地辨認別人眼睛注視的方向。一直以來，人們都把眼睛稱作心靈的窗口，由此可以看出眼睛在流露情感方面具有多么重要的作用。人與人的交往，有90%的非語言信息來自面部，眼、眉、嘴、鼻以及面部肌肉的細微變化，都會表達不同的含意——而眼睛則集中了面部表情的大部分信息。在眼球后方感光靈敏的視網膜含有1.37億個細胞，將收到的信息傳送至腦部。這些感光細胞在任何時間均可同時處理150萬個信息。這就說明，即使是一瞬即逝的一個眼神，也能發射出千萬個信息，表達豐富的情感和意向，泄露心底深處的秘密。現代研究發現，眼球底部有三級神經元，就像大腦皮質細胞一樣具有分析綜合能力，而瞳孔的變化、眼球的活動等，又直接受腦神經的支配，所以人的感情自然就能從眼睛中反射出來。瞳孔的放大和收縮，真實地反映出復雜多變的心理活動。若一個人感到愉悅、喜愛或恐懼時，他的瞳孔就會擴大平常的四倍；遇到郁悶、討厭、消極的心情時，他的瞳孔會收縮得很小；瞳孔沒有變化，表示他對所看到的物體漠不關心或者感到無聊。研究人員將人類嬰兒與類人猿進行比較測試，以觀察頭部與眼睛的運動對改變他們視線的效果究竟如何。實現結果表明，1歲左右的尚未進行語言學習的嬰兒便會追隨其他人的目光，而不是人臉面向的方向。因此，當一個大人頭不動卻只用他的眼睛表示他在看著天花板，嬰兒通常不會隨著看過去。非洲大猿（黑猩猩、倭黑猩猩、大猩猩）是與我們親緣關系最近的靈長類動物，它們恰好遵循同我們完全相反的視覺追蹤機制。當我們只用眼睛盯著房頂（臉朝前），它們一般不會跟著看。但是當人的臉朝著房頂（眼睛閉上），它們便會跟著看過去。當我們使頭和眼睛的指向不同時，我們便發現人不同于其他動物的地方了：人類對于目光的方向極其敏感。這恰恰是和我們親緣關系最近的靈長類動物和不具有的本領。7.對第一段內容的理解或分析，正確的一項是

A.“人類的眼睛是最炯炯有神、引人注目的”，這句話表明了人眼結構上的特別之處。B.“顏色更淺的鞏膜”，使人類的目光看起來更有凝聚力，有利于人們之間的交流。C.“其他靈長類動物都‘隱藏’了自己的目光，因為它們不想暴露自己的視力缺陷。D.“我們的目光才具有更為豐富的含意”，表明其他靈長的動物不用眼光來交流。

8.對第二段內容的理解或分析，不正確的一項是 ．．．

A.人與人在交往的過程中，有90%的信息來自面部，而其中的大部分由人眼來傳遞。B.含有1.37億個感光細胞的視網膜，能及時處理收到的信息并將其傳送至人的大腦。C.眼球底部的三級神經元具有分析綜合能力，而腦神經也會支配瞳孔、眼球的活動。D.現代研究表明，瞳孔的放大、收縮及保持不變，反映出人類不同的心理活動狀態。

9.對第三段內容的理解或推論，不正確的一項是 ．．．

A.研究人員之所以拿人類嬰兒與類人猿進行比較測試，為的是排除成人思維的干擾。B.類人猿的目光表現為追隨觀察對象的頭部活動，而人類則是追隨對象目光的方向。C.只要大人閉上眼睛，然后不管他們頭部會如何活動，人類嬰兒都不會隨著看過去。D.人類的眼睛優越于其他靈長類之處，就是能夠更多地通過眼睛來傳遞信息和情感。

10.下列語句，最適合作文標題的一項是

A.人眼有哪些秘密

B.眼睛是心靈之窗 D.眼睛的實際功用 C.人眼如何表達情感

三、（25分）

閱讀下面的現代文，完成11～14題。在外行走，常有綠樹掩映的村莊撞進眼簾。樹木和村莊相融相映，讓人捉摸不透到底誰主誰次。其實，是村莊在樹木里還是樹木在村莊里并不重要，重要的是當叢叢翠色誘人地環繞著村莊、村莊也在樹木里更顯嫵媚的時候，讓人內心不由自主生出一份寧靜與祥和。由此，我固執地認為，樹木應該就是村莊的靈魂。只有樹木，才能讓村莊青春永在。面對這些村莊，心中莫名地翻騰著一種對家鄉怪怪的思緒，細細想來，這要歸結于那些矗立在眼前同時也植根于內心的樹木。很多年前，和鄰鄉一位當過支書的老人說起我的家鄉，“一個村莊里連棵樹都沒有。那地方有什么好啊！”他的這句話叫我的心急跳了一下，也急痛了一下。后來我自己回到家鄉，看著滿目荒涼然而又魂牽夢縈的土色故鄉，也只能任由五味交替腌漬靈魂。曾經的家鄉的樹木，就這樣又一次走進了記憶走進了心靈。我想，一棵樹立起來高不盈數丈，倒下去也高不過數尺。然而，就是在這尺與丈之間，卻又仿佛有一種痛處與依戀膠著在一起，讓人難以釋懷。現在的家鄉，幾乎看不到樹木，一個個村莊赤裸裸地矗立在黃土地上刺目刺心，灰蒙蒙地缺少生機和靈性，肆無忌憚地彌漫著一種悲哀的情緒。家鄉以前也曾有一片幾百畝大的樹園，綠在村莊的東南角。園子里長滿了杏樹、桃樹、柳樹、榆樹、沙棗樹、由玩伴兒牛牛的爺爺看護。每天放學，我和牛牛都要先到樹園里鏟草、玩耍然后才會回家。春天的榆樹，夏天的酸杏，秋天的毛桃和沙棗，可以說是我們童年最奢侈的果品。而離村莊不遠的看頭山則是公社的林地，山上同樣也長滿了榆樹、沙棗和毛桃樹。每年的春天，淡淡的花香都會彌漫在周圍的一片村莊之中，讓人不由得想把這清香的空氣永遠留存。現在這些樹木呢？我問過很多家鄉人，得到的結果卻讓我唏噓不已。包產到戶后，樹園也分片到戶了。滿園的樹木便陸陸續續遭到砍伐，能用的被搭了棚圈，不能用的成了燒柴；樹園的舊址現在早已經住滿了人家。曾有一段時間，政府為了減少開支，裁減了護林員，將防風林劃片承包給了個人，又引發了新一輪的砍伐。村莊里的樹木也因莊園的改建而無蹤影，以至于在后來好長一段時間中，家鄉都很難看到樹的身影了。前不久和童年伙伴聚在一起，說起童年趣事，說起看頭山、樹園，也談到家鄉的現狀，這才陸續知道，山上坡地因退耕還種植了檸條，今年的雨水好，山上又能看到綠色了。只是因為干旱，樹木的成活率不高。大家都說，恢復綠色家園的難度很大，但應該慶幸的是，畢竟已經邁出可貴的一步。一顆樹站起不盈數丈，躺倒也不過數尺，尺與丈之間就是丈量靈魂的尺度。一片站立的樹是一個地方靈魂的美麗展示，一片躺倒的樹則是這個地方靈魂在集結死亡。家鄉將何去何從？ 我當然忍不住要想，讓家鄉成為綠樹里的村莊，也應該是經歷了顏多變故的家鄉父老的愿望吧！11.文章從綠樹掩映的村莊帶給作者美好的感受寫起，這有什么作用？（6分）

12.文中說，“就是在這尺與長之間，卻又仿佛有一種痛楚與依戀膠著在一起，讓人難以釋懷”。結合全文，說說這句話的含意。（6分）

13.家鄉樹園的昔興今廢，分別帶給作者怎樣的感受？（6分）

14.作者在文中說，“樹木應該就是村莊的靈魂”，后來又追問“家鄉將何去何從。”對此，你 是如何理解的？（7分）

四、（25分）

閱讀下面的文言文，完成15～17題。予嘗步自橫溪，有二叟分石而釣，其甲得魚至多，且易取。乙竟日無所獲也。乃投竿問甲曰：“食餌同，釣之水亦同，何得失之異耶？”甲曰：“吾方下釣時，但知有我而不知有魚，目不瞬，神不變，魚忘其為我，故易取也。子意乎魚，目乎魚，神變則魚逝矣，奚其獲！”乙如其教，連取數魚。（林昉《釣魚記》)15.翻譯文中畫線的句子。（5分）

16.文中先說“乙竟日無所獲也”，結尾說“乙如其教，連取數魚”，這樣的對比說明了什么？（6分）

17.釣魚對于得失的理解，其中包含著怎樣的生活道理？（5分）閱讀下面的古詩，完成18～19題。

PassageTwo

Mr．Leonard，the principal of the Bedford Academy High School in Bedford-Stuyvesant，Brooklyn，is a man of many solutions，many of them creative，many of them，apparently, also effective．In New York City, only about 50 percent of students manage to graduate in four years．At Bedford Academy 63 percent of the students qualify for free lunch，a majority of which are being raised by a single mother and another significant number are being raised by someone other than a parent．Yet close to 95 percent of students graduate，and actually every one of those goes on to college．

Mr．Leonard does not achieve those results by admitting only high-testing students into his school．Of the students arriving with lower test scores，Mr．Leonard says that he is not looking for the students with the highest grades，or even the best behavior．He? S looking for the ones who understand his basic mission of discipline and respect，and are willing to devote themselves to his regular training course．

The Bedford Academy High School is famous for its autonomy．For Mr．Leonard，autonomy means insisting that all entering students spend their Saturday mornings in preparatory classes the summer before they enroll．Autonomy also means an automatic weeklong suspension for any student who “disrespects a female，”said Mr．Leonard．It means requiring struggling students，in the weeks before the Regents exams，to attend studying sessions on Saturday from 9 a．m．until 9 p．m．It means the most senior, experienced teachers，including Mr．Leonard，teach not the school?S academic jewels，but the most struggling students．

And autonomy also means the school? S teachers administer almost no homework．Instead they emphasize after-school tutoring where the teachers Can keep a better eye on whether the student is actually grasping the material．

A．leave the school if they fail to respect a woman B．attend the preparatory classes in the summer before enrolling

C．do their homework to review what they have learned D．come to the school on Sundays Passage Three

People joke that no one in Los Angeles reads；everyone watches TV, rents videos，or goes to the movies．The most popular reading material is comic books，movie magazines，and TV guide s．City libraries have only 10 percent of the traffic that car washes have．But how do you explain this?

Passage Four

Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask someone for a date?

Many people are afraid to assert themselves(堅持己見)．Dr．Robert Alberti，author of Stand Up, Speak Out，and Talk Back, thinks it?s because of their lack of confidence．“Our structure of organization tends to make people distrust themselves．”says Alberti．“There?s always a?superior?around-a parent，a teacher，a boss-who?knows better?．These?superiors?often gain when they keep breaking at your self-image．”

But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves．They offer“assertiveness training”courses-AT for short．In the AT course people learn that they have a right to be themselves．They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so．They learn to be aggressive without hurting people．

In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear．A group taking an AT course will help the shy person to lose his fear．But AT uses an even stronger motive-the need to share．The shy person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels．

Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image．If someone you face is more“important”than you，you may feel less of a person．You start to doubt your own good sense．You go by the other person? s label．But，why should you?AT says you can get to feel good about yourself．And once you do，you can learn to speak out．

48．People are reluctant to talk back because____．

A．they have a poor self-image B．they have not received AT courses

C．they have not grasped communication skillsD．they are not generous enough to share things

49．According to Dr．Alberti，our organization is constructed to____．

A．get people to trust their own solutions to problemsB．keep people as knowledgeable as their“superiors”

C．train people? s capacity to speak up for their righ

D．make things more favorable for“superiors”

50．One of the objectives of AT courses is to____．

A．train people to trust othersB．encourage people to share their thoughts

C．tell people of their right to be“superiors”D．help people overcome their fear of asserting themselves

51．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．Protect Yourself

B．Try to Speak Out C．Share Your Opinion

D．Face Your Superior

Passage Five

A wind tunnel is used for testing planes or plane models．In a wind tunnel air is blown over a plane ora model placed in a test section．Wind tunnel test sections are different in size depending on airflow speed requirements．Some low-speed tunnels have test sections large enough for a complete small plane．In the very high speed tunnels used for space testing，however，the model may be as small as a pencil．

There are two ways of feeding air to the test section．In the constant flow tunnel，airflow produced by electric fans is forced through the tunnel to the test section，then through another tunnel section back to the starting point for reuse．The other way involves storing high-pressure air in a

box，sending it out by a controlling device to pass through the tunnel and test section into another box．This way is usually used for a very short period of high-speed airflow．

Wind tunnels are usually used to test planes before they are flown．Problems in a plane carl be found when it meets the high-speed airflow in the tunnel．For example，if the wings are built so that they would weaken at high speeds，this fact can be discovered in the tunnel，thus saving many lives and millions of dollars．

In a wind tunnel，scientists also find out how different planes will act at different speeds．They find out such things as how the air dives by the wing surfaces，how slowly a plane can fly before it starts to drop，and howfastit can climb．

52．Some wind tunnel sections are larger than others because____．

A．they are used for large planes

B．they can produce a stronger wind

C．they are built to conduct a high-speed test

D．the air in them flows at a lower speed

53．The underlined words“this fact”in Paragraph 3 refer to the fact that____．

A．it costs a lot to test a plane B．the wings are not good enough C．some problems are found with a plane D．the wings meet the high-speed air flow in the tunnel

54．As mentioned in the last paragraph，a wind tunnel can be used to find out____.A．how fast a plane can rise

B．how smooth a plane?s surface is

C．how a plane lands in a strong wind

D．how a plane drops at a low height

55．What can we learn from the passage?

A．It is very expensive to build a wind tunnel． B．Wind tunnels are very essential in testing planes．

C．Scientists still have a lot to learn about wind tunnels． D．There are new ways to feed air to the test section．
