The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck,who first appeared in 1934 in the film-The Wise Little Hen.Donald lived in an old houseboat and wore his sailor jacket and hat.Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film.The cinema audiences liked him because he was lazy and greedy,and because he lost his temper very quickly.And they loved his voice,when he became angry with Mickey's eight nephews.Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself.probably because he wasn't goody-goody like Mickey. In the 1930s.40s and 50's.Donald and his friends Mickey.Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons.He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world,and safety in the home.Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared--there were no more new cartoons

He had unusual voice and he wanted to do work in Disney's cartoon films for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash's voice, he said" Stop! That's our duck!" The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film---The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audiences liked him because he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very quickly. And they loved his voice, when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn't goody-goody like Mickey. In the 1930s, 40s and 50's, Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared---there were no more new cartoons

Yet,people began to understand how electricity works only a little more than two centuries ago. Nature has obviously been experimenting in this field for millions of years.Scientists are discovering more and more that the living world may hold many interesting secrets of electricity that could benefit humanity. All living cells send out tiny pulses of electricity.As the heart beats.it sends out pulses and if recorded,they form an Electrocardiogram().which a doctor can study,to determine how well the heart is working The brain,too.sends out brain waves of electricity,which can be recorded in an electroencephalogram().The electric currents generated by most living cells are extremely small--often so small that sensitive instruments are needed to record them.But in some animals

D) Mickey Mouse wasn't a goody-goody Passage Three Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage: The modern age is an age of electricity. People are so used to electric lights, radio, televisions and telephones that it is hard to imagine what life would be like without them. When there is a power failure, people grope about in flickering candlelight, cars hesitate in the streets because there are no traffic lights to guide them, and food spoils, in silent refrigerators. Yet, people began to understand how electricity works only a little more than two centuries ago. Nature has obviously been experimenting in this field for millions of years. Scientists are discovering more and more that the living world may hold many interesting secrets of electricity that could benefit humanity. All living cells send out tiny pulses of electricity. As the heart beats, it sends out pulses and if recorded, they form an Electrocardiogram(心电图),which a doctor can study, to determine how well the heart is working. The brain, too, sends out brain waves of electricity, which can be recorded in an electroencephalogram(脑电图). The electric currents generated by most living cells are extremely small---often so small that sensitive instruments are needed to record them. But in some animals
certain muscle cells have become so specialized as electrical generators that they do not work as muscle cells at all.When large numbers of these cells are linked together,the effects can be astonishing. The electric eel is an amazing storage battery.It can send a volt of as much as eight hundred volts of electricity through the water in which it lives (An electric house current is only one hundred twenty volts).As many as four-fifths of all the cells in the electric eel's body are specialized for generating electricity.and the strength of the shock it can deliver corresponds roughly to the length of its body. 11.What is the main idea ofthe passage? A)Electricity is dangerous. B)Biology and electricity appear to be closely related C)People would be at a loss without electricity D)Scientists still have much to discover about electricity. 12.How many volts ofelectricity can an electric eel send out A)1,000B)800C200 D)120 13.The word"grope"in line 3 is closest in meaning to which of the following?

A)To warn the reader to stay away from them B)To compare their voltage to that used in housed. C)To givean example generator.D)To describe a new source of electrical power 15.It can be inferred from the passage that the longer an eel is the A)more beneficial it will be to science B)more powerful will be its electrical charge C)easier it will be to find D)tougher it will be to eat PartI Vocabulary and Structure (10 points) Directions:There are 20 incomplete sentences in this part.For each sentence there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).Choose the ONE that best completes the sentence.Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center 1.Scientists will have to come up ()new methods of increasing the world's food supply A.to B.with C.against D.for 2.The decision().the next problem was how to make a good plan A.having made B.having been made C.has been made D.having been making 3.We take this opportunity of expressing our sincere ()of your help A.competition B.attention C.concentration D.appreciation 1
