2.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage
Those of us who have to spend a great deal of time in crowded conditions become gradually better able to adjust, but no one can ever escape completely invasions of Personal Space. This is because they remain forever associated with either personal hostile or equally powerful loving feelings. All through our childhood we will have been held to be loved and held to be hurt, and anyone who invades our Personal Space when we are adults is, in effect, threatening to extend his behavior into one of these two highly charged areas of human liberation.
Unfortunately, different countries have different ideas about exactly how close is close .It is easy enough to teat your own "space reaction": when you are talking to someone in the street or in any open space, reach out with your arm and see where the nearest point on his body comes. If you come from western Europe, you will find that he is at roughly fingertip distance from you. In other words, as you reach out, your fingertips will just about make contact with his shoulder. If you come from eastern Europe you will find you are standing at "wrist distance." If you come from the Mediterranean region you will find that you are much closer to your companion, at little more than"elbow distance."
Trouble begins when a member of one of these cultures meets and talks to one from another. Say a British diplomat meets an Italian or an Arab diplomat at an embassyfunction. They start talking in a friendly way, but soon the fingertips man begins to feel uneasy. Without knowing quite why, he starts to back away gently from his companion. The companion edges forward again. Attempts to adjust this situation often lead to a talking pair entering into a room and many an embassyreception is dotted with western Europe finger-distance men pinned against the walls by eager elbow-distance men.
1.Why can't we completely escape the invasion of Personal Space?
A. Because we are always in crowded conditions.
B. Because we cannot adjust ourselves to the situation.
C. Because Personal Space is closely related to our feelings.
D. Because Personal Space may remind us of our childhood.
2.The two areas mentioned in para 1 are___________.
A. love and hostility
B. childhood and adulthood
C. invasion and threat
D. Personal Space and communication
3.A/An_______speaker tends to keep the shortest distance to the other speaker.

D. An Italian and an Arab diplomat are charging their companion.
5.It can be concluded from the passage that_______.

3.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
If we look at men's reaction to the women's movement, we find several ideas that conflict with each other. Men consider the movement dangerous, but they also consider it ridiculous. On the one hand, men fear that it will ruin the balance of power between the sexes and destroy normalrelationships of all kinds; but on the other hand they claim it success in the world; yet it is also said that they will compete so successfully that they will take jobs away from deserving men.
Oppositions to the women's movement has many causes. The first is the fact that the movement raise questions of power. The changes women demand are compelling men to do some serious thinking, not only about their relationship to women but also about their relationship to the whole power structure of our society. That is a hard and unwelcome task.
Secondly, there is the very real problem that women's demands mean different things to men from what they mean to women. Women say," We are human beings like you in whom there happens to exist a sex difference. We recognize that difference, but why should it apply to more than sex?"
To men, this is a dangerous and disturbing question. The ability of women to see themselves as human beings first and females only second is the product of a change in women's life experiences. This change has not yet been matched by a corresponding change in men's lives.
Some men naturally fear that admitting women to equality will threaten their own insecure position. This is less true for the powerful male, who finds it easy to dominate. To the weak male, however, women have become the only territory on which his power can be exercised. And so, for such men, women must be a nameless and faceless creature with the right to say yes but not no.
1.Men's reaction to women's movement is that________.
A. ridiculous
B. dangerous
C. fearing

A. there should be no difference between men and women
B. men believe there is more than the sex difference between men and women
C. men have neglected the difference between men and women
D. the difference between men and women is not important at all

4.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
Scientists who work on animal behavior are always at risk of being fooled by the animals they are studying or, worse, fooling themselves. Whether their experiments involve domesticated laboratory animals or wild creatures in the field, there is no end to the surprises that an animal can think up in the presence of an investigator. Sometimes it seems as if animals are biologically programmed to puzzle human beings, especially psychologists.
The risks are especially high when the scientist is engaged in training the animal to do something or other and must bank his professionalreputation on the integrity of his experimental subject. The most famous case in point is that of Clever Hans, the turn-of-the -century German horse now recorded in the language of behavioral science by the technical term, the "Clever Hans Error".
The horse, owned and trained by Herr von Osten, could not only solve complexarithmetical problems, but even read the instructions on a blackboard and tap out, with one hoof(蹄子),the right answer. What is more, he could perform the same computations when total strangers posed questions to him, with his trainernowhere nearby. For several years Clever Hans was studied intensively by groups of puzzled scientists and taken seriously as a horse with something very like a human brain, quite possibly even better than human.
But finally in 1911,it was discovered by Professor O.Pfungst that Hans was not really doing arithmetic at all; he was simply observing the behavior of the human experimenter. Subtle, unconscious gestures-nods of the head, the holding of breath, the cessation(停止)of nodding when the correct count was reached-were accurately read by the horse as clues to stop tapping.
31.The first sentence implies that the scientists who study animal behaviors_______.
A. are always fooled by their colleagues
B. are more likely to make mistakes
C. have more chances to succeed
D. live a more dangerous life
32.It can be learned from the first two paragraphs that_______.
A. the study on animal behavior belongs exclusively to the field of psychology
B. animals always surprise and puzzle the scientists who study their behaviors
C. scientists who study animal behaviors tend to have a bad reputation
33.The word "bank" in paragraph 2 can be replaced by________.
A. pile
B. deposit
C. build
D. defend
34.Which of the following statements about Clever Hans is NOT true?
A. Clever Hans is a very intelligent horse that can do complicated calculations.
B. Clever Hans has puzzled many scientists who have studied him intensively.
C. Clever Hans is good at observing the subtle behaviors of the experimenters.
D. Clever Hans Error has become a technical term in behavioral science.
35.The author mentions the case of Clever Hans for the purpose of ___________.
A. introducing a new way of teaching mathematics
B. arguing for the necessity of doing experiments on animals
C. illustrating how scientists are fooled by animals
D. proving the high intelligence of a horse
