Theywere toys—play things for grown men who didn’t have much to do. No one thought that the automobilewould ever become the world’s most popular form of transportation.There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed isunknown. They probably came about just to give children something to do.In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls withanother. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activitiesof their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers. This is true because boys and girls are beingprepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world.What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries buthow much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship,mechanics, and technology. It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all parts ofthe world and their persistence to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, the Americas, China, Japan andamong the Arctic （北极的）peoples, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations dependedon local customs and ways of life because toys imitate their surroundings. Nearly every civilization haddolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject totechnological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use. The progress from the wheel to the oxcartto the automobile is a direct line of ascent （进步). The progress from a rattle （拨浪鼓）used by ababy in 3000 BC to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness. Eachrattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials. 6. The reason why the toys most boys play with are different from those that girls play with is that ___A___.A. their social roles are rigidly determinedB. most boys would like to follow their fathers’ professionsC. boys like to play with their fathers while girls with their mothersD. most girls would like to follow their mothers’ professions7. One aspect of “the universality of toys” lies in the fact that ___D___.A. technological advances have greatly improved the durability of toysB. the improvement of craftsmanship in making toys depends on the efforts of universities- 1 - C. the exploration of the universe had led to the creation of new kinds of toysD. the basic characteristics of toys are the same the world over8. Which of the following is the author’s view on the historical development of toys? BA. The craftsmanship in toy-making has remained essentially unchanged.B. Toys have remained basically the same all through the centuries. C. The toy industry has witnessed great leaps in technology in recent years.D. Toys are playing an increasingly important role in shaping a child’s character.9. Regarded as a kind of art form, toys ___C___. A. follow a direct line of ascentB. also appeal greatly to adultsC. are not characterized by technological progress|D. reflect the pace of social progress10. The author uses the example of rattle to show that ___D___.A. in toy-making there is a continuity in the sue of materialsB. even the simplest toys can reflect the progress of technologyC. it often takes a long time to introduce new technology into toy-makingD. even a simple toy can mirror the artistic tastes of the timePassage 2Space is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors（流星）but also because of rays from thesun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, andthis is essential for plants to make the food, which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable.Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation fromthe sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but theirspacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage. Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called “rem”.Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without beingdamaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sureabout radiation damage-a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may bedamaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed （ 畸 形 的 ） children or evengrandchildren. Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation and, during theoutward and return journeys; the Apollo crew accumulated a large amount of rems. So far, no dangerousamounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply donot know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection ofthe atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done byradiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.11. According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is essential to man in that ___A___.A. it protects him against the harmful rays from spaceB. it provides sufficient light for plant growthC. it supplies the heat necessary for human survivalD. it screens off the falling meteors12. We know from the passage that __B____.A. exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatalB. the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in comingC. radiation is avoidable in space explorationD. astronauts in spacesuits needn’t worry about radiation damage13. The harm radiation has done to the Apollo crew members ___D___.A. is insignificantB. seems overestimatedC. is enormousD. remains unknown14. It can be inferred from the passage that ___D___.A. the Apollo mission was very successfulB. protection from space radiation is no easy jobC. astronauts will have deformed children or grandchildrenD. radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers15. The best title for this passage would be ____D__.A. Astronauts in the Outer SpaceB. Research on RadiationC. Effects of Space RadiationD. Importance Protection against Radiation第三部分：词汇与结构（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）此部分共有 5 个未完成的句子，针对每个句子中未完成的部分有 4 个选项，请从A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。16.
