In the dark night of the desert a group of US Air Force scientists is testing a new device (設(shè)備) for guiding a missile(導彈) to its target. Designed to seek out the heat of an enemy aircraft engine, it is now going through its paces by tracing(跟蹤)the movement of a flashlight waving thirty feet away in the darkness. A hundred yards away, unseen by the man, a rattlesnake sliding between the stones senses a patch of warmth. Although the snake's mechanism(機制) is small enough to be packed into a head the size of a nut, it can detect a change in temperature of one thousandth of a degree. Without a sound the snake closes in and strikes for the kill.
Whenever we look in the animal world we find the same story. Almost anything that man can do, nature has already done better. So, for the purpose of learning from nature, a new science called bionics has grown up. Its aim is to find out how animal's instruments work so that man can copy them for his own use.
Imagine being able to know a friend several miles off by his smell. Male silk moths(蛾)can do this. Their antennae(觸角)are so sensitive to the chemical odor of female that they can detect their presence by picking up only one molecule (分子) of the chemical. Even with their most sensitive instruments, human cannot approach this perfection.
Studying beetle's(甲蟲的)eyes has already paid off. A group of scientists in Germany found that a beetle can accurately(精確地) measure with its eyes the speed of a moving background．After finding out how a beetle accomplishes this scientists built a machine that operated on the same principle(原理). This instrument is able to determine the ground speed of moving aircraft with a high degree of accuracy.
(1)The writer compares the rattlesnake with a missile in order to ________.
[ ]
A．show the deadliness of the missile
B．demonstrate(論證)what bionics is
C．show that man is wiser than nature
D．demonstrate that a rattlesnake is very dangerous
(2)Study of the male silk moth might lead to a new method of ________.
[ ]
A．locating underground streams
B．making smooth cloth
C．detecting poisonous gas
D．communicating
(3)Which of the following can be used to replace the underlined word“accomplishes”?
[ ]
(4)Which of the following is NOT right
[ ]
A．Studying the eye of the beetle has helped scientists to measure speed of objects.
B．Male moths can know female moths several miles off by their smell.
C．Devices of animals discussed here serve a purpose similar to the skin of the human.
D．The military uses of bionics are one reason for developing this science.
(5)According to the passage, the goal for bionics is to ________.
[ ]
A．explain how animal devices work
B．copy animal processes with man-made machines
C．prove the usefulness of this science
D．a(chǎn)pply(應用) science to the study of electronics

(10·江西E篇)
Every day we experience one of the wonders of the world around us without even realizing it. It is not the amazing complexity of television, nor the impressive technology of transport. The universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noise without mouths, and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each other’s minds. This ability comes so naturally that we tend to forget what a miracle (奇跡) it is.
Obviously, the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animal. Of course, some animals have powers just as amazing, Birds can fly thousands miles by \observing positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year. In Nature’s talent show, humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act. If we reduce it to basic terms, it’s an ability for communicating information to others, by varying sounds we make as we breathe out.
Not that we don’t have other powers of communication. Our facial expressions convey our emotions, such as anger, or joy, or disappointment. The way we hold our heads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad. This is so-called “body language”. Bristling (直立的) fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals. Similarly, the bowed head or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering.
Such a means of communication is a basic mechanism that animals, including human beings, instinctively acquire and display. Is the ability to speak just another sort of instinct? If so, how did human beings acquire this amazing skills ? Biologist can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms function, but this doesn’t tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history.

第二部分：閱讀理解（共25題，第一節(jié)每題2分，第二節(jié)每題1分）
第一節(jié)：閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A，B，C和D）中，選出最佳選項。
Trouve sat up on its back legs arid growled（吼叫）the words “How are you, Grandmama?” The audience roared with laughter and clapped. Twenty-year-old Aleck gave the dog a morsel（一口）of food. His hard wok paid off. His dog could talk!
Aleck was fascinated with the different sounds of people’s speech. His father taught students who had a speech problem to improve their speech. Aleck paid close attention. Could an animal form sounds into words, too? He decided to experiment with Trouve, the family dog.
The easy part was teaching Trouve to growl whenever Aleck wanted. The little dog growled for a morsel of food.
Next Aleck moved the dog’s “l(fā)ips’ as it growled. It sounded like “ma ma ma.” Trouve learned quickly to stop the growling just as Aleck’s hand moved away. They practiced and practiced until the dog said “ma ma” perfectly.
Soon Aleck discovered more. If he pushed gently under the dog’s jawbone（下顎骨）, it made the “ga” sound. If he pushed once and moved the dog’s lips twice, he could make the dog say, “ga ma ma”. With even more practice, it sounded like “grandmama.” Whenever Trouve said “grandmam,” Aleck gave the god two treats, so Trouve loved the lessons.
Aleck tried to teach his dog to move its tongue. So that Trouve could say more words. That didn’t work, but Aleck didn’t give up.
After many hours of practice, Trouve could say, “Ow ah oo ga-ma-ma?” This sounded just like “How are you, Grandmama?”
Friends and neighbors traveled to see young Aleck and his amazing talking dog. Rumors spread that the dog could speak by itself, which wasn’t true. No matter how much Aleck tried, the dog was never able to move its lips without help.
Aleck’s full name was Alexander Graham Bell. He wanted to know more about the world all his life. He had many ideas. Some worked; others didn’t. But he kept trying—always learning; One of his inventions was something called the telephone.
41．Which of the following is TRUE of Aleck?
A．His father had an influence on him.
B．He had a talent for giving speeches.
C．He taught Trouve to talk in honor of his grandmother.
D．He carried out many experiments to improve people’s speech.
42．Trouve grew fond of practicing talking because .
A．it liked being together with Aleck B．it was given some food for that
C．it would like to develop its potential D．Aleck treated it like one of the family
43．Which of the following words can best describe Aleck?
A．Humorous. B．Naughty. C．Knowledgeable. D．Curious.
44．What contributes most to Aleck’s success in teaching the dog to talk?

C．His father’s encouragement. D．The dog’s smartness.
