　　82、根据以下资料，82-101回答题：

　　Like land, labor is means of production.In nonindustrial societies, access to both land and labor comesthrough social links such as kinship, marriage, and descent.Mutual aid in production is merely one aspect ofongoing social relationships that are expressed on many other occasions.

　　Nonindustrial societies contrast with industrial nations in regard to another means of production--technology.In bands and tribes manufacturing is often linked to age and gender.Women may weave and men make potteryor vice versa.Most people of a particular age and gender share the technical knowledge associated with that ageand gender.If married women customarily make baskets, most married women know how to make baskets.Neithertechnology nor technical knowledge is as specialized as it is in states.

　　However, some tribal societies do promote specialization.Among the Yanomani of Benezuela and Brazil, forinstance, certain villages manufacture clay pots and others make hammocks.They don't specialize, as one mightsuppose, because certain raw materials happen to be available near particular village.Clay suitable for pots iswidely available.Everyone knows how to make pots, but not everybody do~s so.Craft specialization reflects thesocial and political environment rather than the natural environment.Such specialization promotes wade, which isthe first step in creating an alliance with enemy villages.Specialization contributes to keeping the peace, althoughit has not prevented inter-village warfare.

　　Among the Trobriand Islanders of the South Pacific, Malinowski found that only two out of several villagesmanufactured certain ceremonial items that were important in a regional exchange network called the kula ring.Asamong the Yanomani, this specialization was unrelated to the location of raw materials.We don't know why thisspecialization began, but we do know that it persisted within the kula ring, which allied several communities andisland in a common trade network.

　　In nonindustrial societies, how do people obtain the means of production?

　　A.By land and labor.

　　B.Through social links.

　　C.By mutual aid.

　　D.By many other occasions.

　　83、 What does the sentence "manufacturing is often linked to age and gender" (Line 2, Para.2) mean?

　　A.People of all ages and both genders have to do manufacturing work.

　　B.People of all ages and both genders have to do the same work.

　　C.People of different ages and genders are assigned different jobs.

　　D.People of a particular age and gender are not specialized in the technical knowledge of other groups.

　　84、 In regard to technology, how do nonindustrial societies differ from industrial societies?

　　A.In nonindustral societies, there is not any kind of specialization of technology.

　　B.In nonindustrial societies, technology is not as specialized as it is in industrial society.

　　C.In industrial societies, women do different jobs before and after marriage.

　　D.In industrial societies, people are more easily adapted to certain technical field.

　　85、 The reason why some nonindustrial societies promote specialization is that __

　　A.certain raw materials are available

　　B.everyone can do eraftwork

　　C.it boosts trade among villages

　　D.it prevents intervillage conflicts

　　86、 The author compared Trobriand Islanders and the Yanomani to imply that __

　　A.they were in a regional exchange network called the kula ring

　　B.they were both manufacturing handcrafts

　　C.they were located where raw materials were available

　　D.their specialization had much to do with social and political environment

　　87、根据以下资料，87-106回答题：

　　Every year, 2,000 American lives are saved by the selflessness of others.These are the bone marrow donorswho give the gift of life to patients fighting deadly diseases such as leukemia, lymphoma, and aplastic anemia.That's the good news.The bad news is that thousands more die each year because not enough people have signedon to the registries that would help the ill find a suitable match for a transplant.

　　Bone marrow or stem-cell transplants are usually a last resort, intended for those whose illnesses have notresponded to traditional treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation.How do they work? We all store a specialtype of cell in our bone marrow called stem cells.These primitive cells give rise to the three types of blood cells:red, white and platelets.Everyone's stem cells have certain genetic characteristics or markers that make themunique from others.Despite this uniqueness, there are Some shared characteristics between people.This isimportant, because a patient's immune system will reject blood or organs received from someone else if they do notshare sufficient similarities.

　　Family members, especially siblings, are always the first to be considered as donors, because there's a greaterchance that the genetic markers on their cells will have enough in common to prevent rejection aftertransplantation.In many cases, however, a familial match can't be found and then the search begins for anunrelated donor.These donors typically come from a pool of people who have already signed up on a donorregistry in the event that their cells match a needy recipient.

　　Once the lab has verified a match between donor and recipient, the next phase starts.The patient is givenradiation or chemotherapy to kill the unhealthy cells.Healthy cells are harvested from the donor-either extractedfrom the pelvic bones or taken from the ann in a way that is similar to having blood drawn--and prepared in alaboratory.Once they're ready, they're given to the patient through a vein--the same way as one would receive ablood wansfusion.Once these transplanted donor cells get settled within the patient's bone marrow, they make thehealthy red blood ceils, white blood cells and platelets necessary to support life.

　　One of the major problems currently faced by transplant centers is that while bone marrow transplants can curemore than 70 different diseases, there aren't enough donors on the registry to treat the more than 3,000 patientsawaiting transplants.The National Marrow Donor Program, the largest registry in the country, has approximately4.8 million adult volunteer donors, but that isn't nearly enough for the thousands who need transplants.

　　Why isn't a pool of more than 4 million donors isn't enough to cover 3,000 needy patients? Here's the reason:in the vast majority of cases, finding a suitable match isn't easy.Because we are unique individuals with a varietyof ancestral backgrounds and integration patterns, finding someone similar to us is a major task.In the end, itcomes down to a numbers game--the more potential donors listed on the registry, the greater a chance of finding amatch, especially for those with unusual genetic characteristics.

　　The shared genetic characteristic of stem cells is important in bone marrow transplant became __

　　A.the same primitive cells can produce the same type of blood cells

　　B.one's immune system will reject the blood or organ of different genetic markers

　　C.one's immune system will not function well when facing different stem cells

　　D.the uniqueness of genetic characteristics will destroy the patient's immune system

　　88、 Who are usually considered the best donors for bone marrow transplant?

　　A.Parents.

　　B.Brothers and sisters.

　　C.Registered donors.

　　D.Healthy donors.

　　89、 What should be done immediately after the matched donor has been found?

　　A.Unhealthy cells of the patient are killed through radiation or chemotherapy.

　　B.Healthy cells are extracted from the donor.

　　C.Extracted cells are prepared in the laboratory.

　　D.The donor's cells are transplanted to the patient.

　　90、 The healthy cells of donors will be transplanted to the patient through __

　　A.pelvic bones

　　B.arms

　　C.vein

　　D.artery

　　91、 The author cited the example of 4.8 million volunteer donors in America to justify __.

　　A.all the patients will be able to get transplant treatment

　　B.there are more patients who need transplant

　　C.it becomes much easier to find suitable donors for the patients

　　D.it is hard to find suitable match even with the large pool of donors

　　92、根据以下资料，92-111回答题：

　　The story that traces life from sea to land then into the multiple niches that exist there for a great variety ofliving things is a fascinating one, but far too detailed for our purposes.One key point for us in that story is theemergence of the biological class of animals that are called mammals.

　　Mammals have a number of features that distinguish them from the reptiles from which they developed.Theyare warm-blo0ded; that is, they have a system of temperature control that keeps the body at a constant temperature.Mammals have a set of teeth of different shapes that serve different functions such as cutting, gouging, andgrinding.Young mammals spend their earliest days of development shielded within the mother's body and are thenborn alive, rather than hatching from eggs.In addition, after bi~h they are nourished by milk provided by themother's mammary glands.The enforced association between mother and infant provides an opportunity .forlearning that does not exist for those kinds of creatures that are hatched from eggs long after their parents havedeparted from the scene.Young mammals play---something that amphibians and reptiles never do--whichprovides additional learning opportunities.

　　The foregoing list leaves little doubt that we are mammals.There are, of course, a great many kinds ofmammals, most of which developed after the great extinction of dinosaurs and other reptiles about 65 million yearsago that opened opportunities for the few small mammals that were already in existence.One of the groups ofmarmmals that resulted was a biological order called primates which includes monkeys, apes, humans, and somesmaller creatures familiar only to ardent zoo goers.Primates share a number of behavioral features that have playedimportant roles in their evolutionary development.Most primates are arboreal; that is, they spend their lives in andamong trees.Their tree-climbing and tree-dwelling habits impose needs that are reflected in primate anatomy.Although diet varies from species to species, many primates are largely vegetarian.But they can eat and digestmeat, and some species vary their diets of leaves, shoots, and fruits by eating insects, birds' eggs, and even smallanimals.Primates are hand-feeders, depending on their hands both to collect food and to get it into their mouths.Perhaps the most important feature of their behavior is that primates are social animals.Their genetics, habits, andeven their survival are geared to living in groups.Although human beings have come to have a way of life verydifferent from that of typical primates, the basic primate adaptation provided prehumans with capabilities thatallowed them to become culture-builders.

　　The anatomical features that separate primates from other kinds of animals relate clearly to the way primates behave.

　　Where do you think is the passage from?

　　A.Newspaper.

　　B.Story books.

　　C.Journal.

　　D.Science magazine.

　　93、 Which of the following is NOT one of the features of mammals that distinguish them from the reptiles?.

　　A.They're warm-blooded.

　　B.They have a set of teeth of different shapes.

　　C.The first period of development of young mammals is within the mother's body.

　　D.There's some association between mother and infant.

　　94、 What can we learn from the passage?

　　A.Mammals developed from the reptiles.

　　B.The animals that are hatched from eggs have no opportunity for learning.

　　C.Mammals developed at the cost of the extinction of reptiles.

　　D.Not all the primates are mammals.

　　95、 According to the passage, many mammals developed___.

　　A.from a special kind of dinosaurs

　　B.from peculiar mammals

　　C.after the extinction of dinosaurs and other reptiles

　　D.after the extinction of all small mammals

　　96、 Primates are social animals because

　　While Mother was in New Orleans, I was in the care of my grandparents.They were incredibly conscientiousabout me.They loved me very much; sadly, much better than they were able to love each other or, in mygrandmother's case, to love my mother.Of course, I was blissfully unaware of all this at the time.I just knew that Iwas loved: Later, when I became interested in children growing up in hard circumstances and learned something ofchild development from Hillary's work at the Yale Child Study Center, I came to realize how fortunate I had been.For all their own demons, my grandparents and my mother always made me feel I was the most important person inthe world to them.Most children will make it if they have just one person who makes them feel that way.I hadthree.

　　My grandmother, Edith Grisham Cassidy, stood just over five feet tall and weighed about 180 pounds.Mammaw was bright, intense, and aggressive, and had obviously been pretty once.She had a great laugh, but shealso was full if anger and disappointment and obsessions she only dimly understood.She took it all out in ragingtirades against my grandfather and my mother, both before and after I was born, though I was shielded from mostof them.She had been a good student and ambitious, so after high school she took a correspondence course innursing from the Chicago Sebool of Nursing.By the time I was a toddler she was a private-duty nurse for a man notfar from our house on.Hervey Street.I can still remember running down the sidewalk to meet her when she camehome from work.

　　Mammaw's main goals for me were that I would eat a lot, learn a lot, and always be neat and clean.We.ate inthe kitchen at a table next to the window.My high chair faced the window, and Mammaw tacked playing cards upon the wooden window frame at mealtimes so that I could learn to count.She also stuffed me at every meal, because conventional wisdom at the time was that a fat baby was a healthy one, as long as he bathed every day.At least once a day, she read to me from Dick and Jane books until I could read them myself and from World Book Encyclopedia volumes, which in those days were sold door-to-door by salesmen and were often the only booksbesides the Bible in working people's houses.These early instructions probably explain why I now read a lot, love card games, battle my weight, and never forget to wash my hands and brush my teeth.
