The story should begin from a girl called Catherine Lisa Bell. Catherine Lisa Bell was a girl from a remote mountain area. She was the first graduate in that area to reach Oxfords entry score, but her application was refused in the interview, because the professors thought she lacked creative potential. The government of the girls hometown paid a special visit to Minister of Education and asked him to speak for her to Oxford. The Minister called at Oxford and hoped they would give the girl special admission. Quite unexpectedly, however, his pleading was refused. The Minister turned to the deputy prime minister, but he got turned down as well. The deputy prime minister couldnt help but turn to Prime Minister Blair. Blair telephoned to Oxford himself to show his personal attention to the matter. He tried his best to persuade the university officials to change their decision, only to be greeted with a declaration from Oxford: “We admit that Prime Minsters proposal comes out of concern for the students from less developed areas, but it is unacceptable. There is but one reason: On matters of enrolment (招生), no one has the right to change the interview conclusion the professors draw. This is hundreds of years of tradition of Oxford.” Feeling a loss of face, Blair complained in private that Oxford was too stiff (古板) and needed reforming. Famous people have no privacy (隐私). The complaint soon found its way to the teachers and students of Oxford and aroused great anger among them. Immediately the university cancelled the plan to give Blair an honorary doctorate and delivered a strong protest against government intervention (干涉) on university affairs. 53.

She is quiet but alert(警觉). Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it.She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other，her gaze(凝视) starts to lose its focusuntil a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns：she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment，but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes.Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects(a comb，a key，an orange and so on)，changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves.Could it be the pattern that two things make，as opposed to three? No again.Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses.Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise(同样地) when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.60The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the babys_Asense of hearingBsense of sightCsense of touchDsense of smell61Babies are sensitive to the change in _Athe size of cardsBthe colour of picturesCthe shape of patternsDthe number of objects62Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?ATo reduce the difficulty of the experiment.BTo see how babies recognize sounds.CTo carry their experiment further.DTo keep the babies interest.63Where does this text probably come from?AScience fiction.BChildrens literature.CAn adve
