• 12．An old story goes that once there were four single men，leading very boring lives.None of them were married，or had lovers，or did anything exciting.They just sat around all day and played Mahjong （麻將）.One day they played Mahjong from 11 in the morning until 11 at night.During the game，no matter who won，the winning card was always the "four columns" card （the card shows four independent，parallel columns in two lines）.Even more of a coincidence，it was November 11，or 11/11.In order to commemorate the day，they nicknamed it Singles Day.
     Singles Day was first celebrated at various universities in Nanjing，capital city of Jiangsu Province during the 1990s.It got the name Singles Day because the date is comprised of four "ones".These college students have since graduated，and carried their university tradition into society.Singles Day is now a special day for all fashionable youths.

     Many singles also choose to say goodbye to their single lives on this day.Many attend "blind date" parties and many people choose to marry on this day.In addition to meaning "Singles"，the four "ones" of the date can also mean "only one" as in "the only one for me".Some people will use this date and this meaning to tell their special someone that they are the only "one" in their hearts.

• 13．The twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before.Changes for the better，changes for the worse，changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings，changes that put man in danger.Many things caused the changes，but，in my opinion，the most important was the progress in science.
     Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views.It has given us a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe.It has brought us a better understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous development.Technology in the application of science has made big advances that have benefited us in nearly every part of life.
     The continuation of such activities in the twenty-first century will result in even greater advantages to human beings；in pure science—a wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of learning；in applied science—a more reasonable sharing of material benefits，and better protection of the environment.
     Sadly，however，there is another side to the picture.The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankind.The application of science and technology to the development and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet.We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons.Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War，the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actually been used，the result could have been the ruin of the human race，as well as of many kinds of animals.
     William Shakespeare said，"The web of our life is of a mingled yarn（紗線），good and ill together."The above brief review of the application of only one part of human activities—science—seems to prove what Shakespeare said.But does it have to be so？Must the ill always go together with the good？Are we biologically programmed for war？
  
  （1）What can we infer from the fourth paragraph？

  
  A．A great many nuclear weapons were actually used for war.
  B．A large number of nuclear weapons should have been used for war.
  C．The author is doubtful about the ruin of human beings by nuclear weapons.
  D．The author is anxious about the huge number of nuclear weapons on the Earth.
  （2）What does the underlined word "mingled" most probably mean？

  
  A．Simple.
  B．Mixed.
  C．Sad.
  D．Happy.
  （3）What do you think the author is most likely to suggest if he continues to write？

  
  A．Further application of science to war.
  B．More reading of William Shakespeare.
  C．Improvement of science in the future.
  D．Effective ways to separate the good from the ill.
  （4）Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage？（①="Paragraph"1， ②="Paragraph"2， ③="Paragraph"3，④="Paragraph"4， ⑤="Paragraph"5）

  
  

  A．

  B．

  C．

• 14．There are 156 known species of glass frogs living throughout the neotropics.Recent advancements in genetics are giving researchers a revealing look into the lives of these one-inch-long tree dwellers，some of which are the size of a paper clip.
     Scientists have discovered，for example，that male glass frogs in some species are stellar parents-a rare trait among vertebrates （脊椎動物）．Males of at least 24 species not only protect their eggs from predators but also actively care for them.While the embryos（胚胎） develop，males of some species，such as the sun glass frog sit atop their egg clutch "like a chicken，"keeping the eggs hydrated until they hatch into tadpoles（蝌蚪）.
     New research is also discovering how the glass frog's transparent belly forms.It's suspected that young glass frogs physically rearrange the insides of their cells and tissues to become transparent adults.Fluid between the tissue cells may also contain a substance that allows light to travel through.
     Another mechanism that may allow glass frogs to blend into the green leaves on which they doze during the day is called "a biological mirror"，a kind of shield or covering of crystals in many of their tissues，which reflects up to 30 percent of the light that normally reaches them.Those crystals amplify the light signal，and the frog's green looks brighter.
     Many scientists studying glass frogs arc motivated by the fact that some of their subjects are disappearing-and fast.Agriculture，cattle grazing，and mining projects in the Andes are taking over the frogs' already fractured forest homes.
     "As soon as they are discovered，many species are declared endangered，" Guayasamin，a biologist in Ecuador，says "yet there could be an advantage in conserving such isolated ponulanons." All could be inspired to work together to set aside frog-rich patches of land as reserves，ensuring that these delicate creatures have a solid chance at survival.
  
  （1）What can we know about glass frogs？

  
  A．They are regarded dangerous.
  B．They are small animals.
  C．They are of different colors.
  D．They live in the water.
  （2）What does the underlined word "stellar" in paragraph 2 probably mean？

  
  A．Strange.
  B．Ambitious.
  C．Excellent.
  D．Different.
  （3）How can glass frogs hide themselves in the green leaves？

  
  A．They physically change their cells.
  B．They contain transparent fluid.
  C．Crystals in their tissues reflect light.
  D．Light signal makes them greener.
  （4）What is Guayasamin's suggestion for endangered glass frogs？

  
  A．Stopping cattle grazing.
  B．Building frog reserves.
  C．Improving frog popularity.
  D．Planting more forest trees.
