Of course, this is not surprising. Without the nose, We could not breathe or smell. It is the part of the face that gives a person special character. Cyrano de Bergerac said that a large nose showed a great man—courageous, manly, and wise. A famous woman poet wished that she had two noses to smell a rose! Blaise Pascal made an interesting remark about Cleopatra’s nose. If it had been shorter, he said, it would have changed the whole face of the world! Man’s nose has had an important role in his imagination. Man has referred to the nose in many ways to express his emotions. Expressions dealing with the nose refer to human’s weakness, anger, pride, jealousy and revenge（报复）. In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example, to hold up one’s nose expresses a basic human feeling—pride. People can hold up their noses at people, things, and places. The phrase, to be led around by the nose, shows man’s weakness. A person who is led around by the nose lets other people control him. On the other hand, a person who follows his nose lets his instinct（本能）guide him. There are a number of others. However, it should be as plain as the nose on your face that the nose is more than an organ for breathing and smelling. 46、The passage is about ____________. A、an organ, with which people can breathe and smell B、the nose, which gives different and useful expressions C、the nose giving a person special character D、the interesting remarks about the nose made by some people 47、From the passage we know ___________. A、“Cleopatra’s nose”changed the whole face of the world indeed B、Cleopatra had a strong will to change the whole look of the world C、Cleopatra’s nose was not short D、Cleopatra hoped that people would change the whole face of the world 48、The nose expresses ______. A、some human weakness or other B、people’s shortcomings C、people’s different emotions D、human feelings in bad sense 49、A person who follows his nose _______. A、won’t take others’ advice B、is easily controlled by others C、is weak—minded D、will let his will guide him 50、How many expressions about the nose are mentioned in the passage? A、Two B、Three C、Four D、Five B 　　Perhaps Professor Ray Birdwhistell suggested the most famous theory， the study of body movement. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed. In other words， we learn our looks —— we are not born with them. A baby has generally informed face features. A baby according to Birdwhistell， learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around —— family and friends. This helps explain why people of some areas of the United States look so much alike. New Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that cannot be explained by genetics (遗传学). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth， it is learned after. In fact， the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many， this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look somewhat alike. We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in other areas. In the United States，for example，the South is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less，and in the western part of New York States still less. Many Southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly，partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta，Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do. 51.Ray Birdwhistell believes that physical appearance ______. 　A has little to do with culture　B. has much to do with culture 　C is ever changing D is different from place to place 52.According to the passage，the final mouth shape is formed ______. 　A. before birth　　 B. as soon as one s teeth are newly set 　C. sometime after new teeth are set　　D. around 15 years old 53.Ray Birdwhistell can tell what area of the United States a person is from by _____ . A. how much he or she laughs B. how he or she raises his or her eyebrows. 　C. what he or she likes best　　 D. the way he or she talks 54.People who live ____ are more friendly. 　　 A. in largely populated areas B. in New York City 　　 C. in the country D. in the North 55.This passage might have been taken out of a book dealing with _____ . A. physics B. chemistry C. biology D. none of the above C On the old-time farm in America there were chickens and turkeys（火鸡）. There were alsocows, pigs, and other livestock (家畜). But there were very few machines. Most of the workwas done by the entire farm family with the help of a "hired man". Sometimes extra labourers（劳工） were needed in busy seasons. Horses provided 79 percent of the power used, human labour 15 percent, and machines only 6 percent. Today all that has changed. On many modern farms machines now finish 96 percent of the power, human labour 3 percent, and horses 1 percent. The children go to school by bus every morning, the parents work on the farm or in the house, and hired help is seldom needed. Theirwork has been replaced by a whole army of farm machines. 56.

Glass has many extraordinary qualities and it is frequently being used in new ways.One of the most interesting new uses for glass is in telephone communication. Scientists have developed glass fibres as thin as human hair which are designed to carry light signals. When the light reaches the other end，it is first changed into electrical signals，which are in turn converted(转变)into sound messages.Called lightwave communication the new system was used successfully in an experiment in Chicago in 1977. During the experiment two glass fibres were able to carry 672 conversations at the same time. The lightwave cable, containing 144 glass fibres, has the capacity(容量)to carry 50，000 conversations at the same time. The lightwave communication system has two important advantages. First the glass fibre cables are smaller and weigh less than copper (铜)cables;second，they cost less. 61.One of the extraordinary qualities of glass is that it can carry ____. A. any signal B.light signals　 C.sound signals D.electrical signals 62.Before you can hear a message on the telephone using the new system , _______. 　A.the light signals have to be changed into electrical sound 　B.neither the light nor the electrical signals have to be changed in any way 　C.light must first be changed into electrical signals and then into sound 　D.electrical signals must first be changed into light signals and then into sound 63.According to the passage , the new telephone communication system ______ . A. was put on experiment in 1977　 　B.had been put into actual use by 1977 C.had been repeatedly experimented before 1977 D.was first put into actual use in 1977 64.From the passage， you can tell that people prefer glass fibre cables to copper cables because ______ . A. glass fibre is easier to make 　 B.glass fibre is less expensive C.glass fibre is more up to date D.glass fibre delivers messages directly 65.Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage? 　　A.Light signals have changed the use of glass in industry. 　　B.Glass fibres have reduced t
