23、s in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. As infants, we can recognize our mothers within hours of birth. In fact, we can recognize the 41 of our mothers face well before we can recognize her body shape. Its 42 how the brain can carry out such a f
24、unction at such a young age, especially since we dont learn to walk and talk until we are over a year old. By the time we are adults, we have the ability to distinguish around 100,000 faces. How can we remember so many faces when many of us find it difficult to 43 such a simple thing as a phone numb
25、er? The exact process is not yet fully understood, but research around the world has begun to define the specific areas of the brain and processes 44 for facial recognition. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology believe that they have succeeded in 45 a specific area of the brain c
26、alled the fusiform face area (FFA), which is used only for facial recognition. This means that recognition of familiar objects such as our clothes or cars, is from 46 in the brain. Researchers also have found that the brain needs to see the whole face for recognition to take place. It had been 47 th
27、ought that we only needed to see certain facial features. Meanwhile, research at University College London has A. restore B. recall C. processing D. previously E. necessary F. locating G. instead H. fascinating I. elsewhere J. found that facial recognition is not a single process, but 48 involves th
28、ree steps. The first step appears to be an analysis of the physical features of a persons face, which is similar to how we scan the bar codes of our groceries. In the next step, the brain decides whether the face we are looking at is already known or unknown to us. And finally, the brain furnishes t
29、he information we have collected about the person whose face we are looking at. This complex 49 is done in a split second so that we can behave quickly when reacting to certain situations.

30、four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Over the past few decades, more and more countries have opened up the markets, increasingly transforming the world economy into one free-flowing global market. The question is：Is econom
31、ic globalization 50 for all? According to the World Bank, one of its chief supporters, economic globalization has helped reduce 51 in a large number of developing countries. It quotes one study that shows increased wealth 52 to improved education and longer life in twenty-four developing countries a
32、s a result of integration (融合) of local economies into the world economy. Home to some three billion people, these twenty-four countries have seen incomes 53 at an average rate of five percentcompared to two percent in developed countries. Those who 54 globalization claim that economies in developin
33、g countries will benefit from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses. 55 , small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in 56 open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet. Critics take a different view, believing that economic
34、 globalization is actually 57 the gap between the rich and poor. A study carried out by the U.N.-sponsored World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization shows that only a few developing countries have actually 58 from integration into the world economy and that the poor, the uneducated,
35、unskilled workers, and native peoples have been left behind. 59 , they maintain that globalization may eventually threaten emerging businesses. For example, Indian craftsmen who currently seem to benefit from globalization because they are able to 60 their products may soon face fierce competition t
36、hat could pot them out of 61 . When large-scale manufacturers start to produce the same goods, or when superstores like Wal-Mart move in, these small businesses will not be able to 62 and will be crowded out. One thing is certain about globalizationthere is no 63 . Advances in technology combined wi
37、th more open policies have already created an interconnected world. The 64 now is finding a way to create a kind of globalization that works for the benefit of all. (347 words) 50.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given
41、in the passage you have just read. A For some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.” People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between
42、 two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale. As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy
43、music set them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentiona
44、lly stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to id
45、entify this unusual condition. Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesnt involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding
46、 ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just cant see certain colors. Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. T
47、hat makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say, No thanks, Im amusic,” says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.” (335 words) 65. Which of the following is true of amusics? A. Listening to music is far from en
48、joyable for them. B. They love places where they are likely to hear music. C. They can easily tell two different songs apart. D. Their situation is well understood by musicians. 66. According to paragraph 3, a person with “defective hearing” is probably one who _. A. dislikes listening to speeches B
49、. can hear anything nonmusical C. has a hearing problem D. lacks a complex hearing system 67. In the last paragraph, Margaret expressed her wish that _. A. her problem with music had been diagnosed earlier B. she were seventeen years old rather than seventy C. her problem could be easily explained D. she were able to meet other amusics 68. What is the passage mainly concerned with? A. Amusics strange behaviours. B. Some peoples inability to enjoy music. C. Musical t
