Questions 31-36
The novelist Robert Herrick was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on April 26, 1868. His oldest American ancestor , a nephew of the author of Hesperides, had settled at Salem in 1638: he was related to the Hales, the Mannings, the Hawthornes, and the Peabodys: his immediate forebears were lawyers, teachers, and clergymen . At Harvard, he was a contemporary of Santayana, William Vaughn Moody, Norman Hapgood, and Robert Morss Lovett; he nearly wrecked the Harvard Monthly when he sullied its chaste pages with the first English translation of lbsen's Lady from the Sea. His teaching began at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but William Rainey Harper lured him to the new University of Chicago, where he remained officially for exactly a generation and where his students in advanced composition found him terrifyingly frigid in the classroom but sympathetic and understanding in their personal conferences . During his later years the spot of earth dearest to his heart was York Village, Maine, but after his retirement from teaching he brought his career to a rather amazing close as government secretary of the Virgin islands. He died at St. Thomas on Dcccniber 23, 1938.

There are two main kinds of sloth , the two-toed and the three-toed. Of these, the three-toed is considerably the more slothful . It hangs upside down from a branch suspended by hook-like claws at the ends of its long bony arms. It feeds on only one kind of leaf, Cecropia, which happily for the sloth grows in quantity and is easily found. No predators attack the sloth ---few indeed can even reach it---and nothing competes with it for the Cecropia. Lulled by this security , it has sunk into an existence that is only just short of complete torpor . It spends eighteen out of twenty-four hours soundly asleep . It pays such little attention to its personal hygiene that green algae grow on its coarse hair and communities of parasitic moth live in the depths of its coat producing caterpillars which graze on its mouldy hair. Its muscles are such that it is quite incapable of moving at a speed of over a kilometer an hour even over the shortest distances and the swiftest movement it can make is a sweep of its hooked arm. It is virtually dumb and its hearing is so poor that you can let off a gun within inches of it and its only response will be to turn slowly and blink . Even its sense of smell, though it is better than ours, is very much less acute than that of most mammal . And it sleeps and feeds entirely alone.
37. The purpose of the passage is to
A. compare the two-toed and the three-toed sloths
B. explain the parasitic relation of a type of moth to the sloth

A. hang ontreebranches C. catch prey
B. clean its coat D. swing from one place to another
39 What does the sloth eat?
A. Caterpillars C. Moths
B. Cecropia D. Algae
40 How does the sloth spend most of its time?
A. Eating C. Grooming itself
B. Sleeping D. Finding food
41 It can be inferred from the passage that if a person makes a loud noise near a sloth, the sloth will
A. attack the person C. show little response
B. run away as fast as it can D. become deaf
42 The author's discussion of the sloth focuses primarily on the animal's
A. solitary nature C. diet
B. physical handicaps D. inactivity
The Montessori method of educating children is guided by perhaps a half-dozen major principles of education, The first affirm the biological programming of child development, the child's capacity for self-realization , for “auto-education”. The second calls for -scientific pedagogy- a science of childhood based on observation. The third demands a natural environment in which self-development can be expressed and observed . Montessori believed that the school could be made into such an environment, thus becoming a laboratory for scientific pedagogy. This environment should be determined scientifically. In order to expand, children, left at liberty to exercise their activities , ought to find in their surrounding something organized in direct relation to the children's internal organization. All of these principles imply the next, which Mont essori calls the”biological concept of liberty in pedagogy” the child must be free to act spontaneously and to interact with the prepared environment. The entire program is concerned with the individual child; the spontaneity , the needs, the observation, the freedom are always those of the individual. Finally, the modus operandi of the method is sensory training.
43. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Principles of the Montessori Method
B. Modern Principles of Education
C. Results of the Montessori Method
D. Stages of Child Development
44 In line 6, the phrase ”such an environment” refers to which of the following kinds of environment?
A. Biological, accompanied by specimens
B. Scientific, accompanied by experiments
C. Pedagogical, in which ideology prevails
D. Natural, in which self-expression prevails
45 According to the passage, the Montessori method focuses on
A. the individual child C. small groups of children
B. pairs of children D. large groups of children
46 It can be inferred from the passage that the Montessori method was named after a
A. school C. person
B. town D. book
47 Which of the following would NOT be advocated by the Montessori method?
A. Tightly controlling children's group activities
C. Permitting children to work at their own pace
B. Carefully teaching children to listen and observe
D. Allowing children to speak out and will during classes
In an experiment designed to study the effect of majority opinion even when it is contrary to fact, small groups of subjects observed a standard straight line, and then judged which of three other lines equaled it in length. One of the other lines was longer, one shorter, one equal to the standard; the differences were great enough that threshold
judgments were not involved. All but one member of each group had been instruct to agree upon a wrong answer for a majority of the trial . The experimental subject was thus pitted against a majority, and the subject's problem was whether to disagree with the majority, or to doubt his or her own judgment and agree. Many subjects refused to change, and continued to hold to their independent appraisals . But a substantial number yielded under pressure from the others' apparent judgments. The amount of yielding depended upon the clarity of conditions (lack of clarity led to conformity to majority opinion), individual differences, and the size and unanimity of the opposition . with the opposition of only one other person there was very little yielding; with two against one the amount of yielding became pronounced ; and a majority of three was nearly as effective as larger majorities against the lone dissenter .
48. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The accuracy of threshold judgments
C. The impact of majority opinion on the judgment of an individual
B. The inability of groups to estimate correct line length
D. The necessity of clear conditions in conducting successful experiments
49 A total of how many lines were shown to each group of subjects?
A. Two C. Four
B. Three D. Five
50 Why did all but one of the members of each group choose the wrong line?
A. They could not accurately judge which lines were equal in length.
C. They wanted to humiliate the person who disagreed.
B. They were told to do so for the purposes of the study.
D. They did not understand the instructions.
51 It can be inferred from the passage that the main purpose of the experiment was to examine the tendency that many people have to
A. compete C. criticize
B. conform D. communicate
52 The experiment described in the passage was most likely carried out by
A. physicists C. linguists
B. mathematicians D. psychologists
This vertical movement of the fieldstones is not simply an artifact of soil erosion; it is the result of frost heaving . In the fall the soil freezes first beneath stones, because stones are a better conductor of heat than soil, or put another way , soil is a better insulator than rock. In a sea of insulation , stones are chilly islands.
Because most glacial till has a fairly high water content , ice forms beneath fieldstones when they freeze, and the expansion of this ice forces them upward. Even when the ice thaws , the stones do not return to their original positions because during thawing particles of soil seep into the cavity beneath partially preventing the stone from dropping. Like a ratchet on a car jack each freeze---thaw cycle gradually lifts the fieldstones toward the surface. In a very cold winter there may actually be two thrusts per freeze. Ice expands when it initially forms, but as the temperature plummets, the ice contracts . In the reverse process, when this very cold ice finally melts, it must expand a second time, pushing the stone once more.
In theory, the upward movement of fieldstones should result in pure soil, all the stones above the frost line having been pushed to the surface and carried away, What a vision ! Acres of pure, deep soil and crowbars rusting away unused Alas, the fastest stones move only an inch or so a year, and most are orders of magnitude slower.
53. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The effect of frost heaving on stones.
B. The water content of various types of soil
C. Factors affecting the rate of ice expansion
D. Seasonal variations in ground temperature
54 What statement was most probably made in the paragraph preceding this passage?
A. Pure soil is quickly eroded.
B. Fieldstones are lifted to the top of the soil.
C. It is not easy to move stones from fields.
D. Ancient cultural artifacts are buried deep in the soil.
55 Where does the soil freeze first in the fall?
A. On the tops of stones C. Under rocks
B. In areas of pure, deep soil D. On islands
56 In the first paragraph, the author gives an example of
A. glacier movement C. climate change
B. soil erosion D. heat conduction
57 According to the passage, why do fieldstones remain raised in the soil when the ice thaws?
A. Melting ice erodes the soil around them.
B. Soil fills in under them.
C. They remain in a frozen layer of topsoil.
D. The frost line under which they are resting moves upward.
58 The author refers to a car jack in an analogy that illustrates how
A. stones are pushed upward
B. heavy rocks press down on deeps levels of soil
C. a crowbar is used to remove stones from soil
D. automobile parts freeze in cold weather.
59 Which of the following conclusions is supported by the third paragraph?
A. Stones above the frost line will quickly be pushed upward.
B. The number of stones surfacing each year is decreasing.
C. Acres of pure, deep soil regularly result from frost heaving.
D. New stones will continue indefinitely to surface at a slow rate
60 In line 14. the author exclaims “What a vision” to express an attitude of
A. fear C. enthusiasm
B. disgust D. romance
unit1 我们如何处理我们的问题无论是富有还是贫穷，年轻还是年老，我们都有问题。如果我们不处理我们的问题，我们可能很容易变得不快活。担心我们的问题可能影响我们在学校的表现。它也会影响我们和家人相处的方式那么我们怎么处理我们的问题呢?有许多方法。学会忘记我们大多数人可以同我们的朋友，父母或者老师生过气。或许他们说过你们不喜欢的东西，或者你们干但他们不公平。有时，人么可以为一个小问题生气几年。时间过去了良好的友谊可能也失去了。然而当我们生气时，通常我们自己就是受影响的人。可能我们看见过小朋友们在一起玩耍。有时他们有不同的意见，并且决定互不讲话，不过这通常不会延续很久。这对我们是很重要的一个教训:我们可以通过学会忘记来解决问题。把问题看作是挑战许多学生经常抱怨学校。有时他们可能感但他们有太多作业要做，或者认为校规太严。我们必须学会如何把这些"问题"变为"挑战"。教育是我们发展中的一个重要部分。作为年轻人，我们的责任是尽力在老师的帮助下应付我们教育中的每一个挑战。想更坏的事情把自己与别人比较一下，你会发现你的问题并不是那么可怕。例如，想一下斯蒂芬。霍金，一个非常聪明的科学家，他把他身上的许多问他看得并不重要，但是太变得非常有名而且成功。我们很可能相当健康和聪明。让我们不讨为我们的问题担忧吧。相反，我们要面对挑战。 unit 2 他过去常常惹很多麻烦 马丁莫里是一个15岁的男孩。他曾经是一个问题儿童，但最近和她妈妈的一次谈话改变了他的人生，他过去不常给他妈妈惹祸。然而，在他父亲去世几年后，马丁的生活更加艰难。他的妈妈支付不了孩子的学费。为了交学费，他必须打工，并且因此常常不在家。 他的妈妈尽量照顾他，不幸的是，马丁仍给自己和全家惹麻烦。他对学习没兴趣，并经常和警察发生冲突，幸运的是，他妈妈很有耐心，从没放弃帮助他。最后，他做出一个艰难的决定，送他去一家男生寄宿学校。马丁讨厌学校，常常惹很多麻烦。一天，他告诉老师他想退学，甚至他的老师也认为马丁是在浪费自己的时间。 校长说马丁很有必要与他的妈妈商量一下。马丁给他妈妈打电话，但是他感到吃惊的是，这个电话改变了他的一生，“那正是我需要的、”他说。“我妈妈帮我明白他为我付出那么多，他还告诉我，尽管我爸爸不再和我们一起生活，他还在注视着我，并且永远为我做的每件好事而感到骄傲。这使我发生了改变。我认识到自从爸爸去世后，我一直害怕孤独，设法让妈妈多关心我。' 现在马丁确实变了，他一直刻苦学习。现在在班内名列前茅。他怎么改变的呢？他妈妈的爱心帮助他有了自尊，正如他自己说的：“父母和孩子待在一起是很重要的。” unie 3 很多青少年都有业余爱好。但是有时候这些爱好可能会妨碍到学习，而且父母们也会担心孩子们在学校的成绩，青少年们觉得应该尽可能按照他们自己的意愿来锻炼他们的爱好。你赞同吗？ 来自山东的一名15岁男孩刘宇，他是一名田径运动员，他现在在校田径队里，而且一直想成为一名专业的田径运动员，然而他的父母却不许他按照自己的意愿去更多的训练，刘先生说；“当然我们想看见刘宇实现他的梦想，而且我们也清楚他有多么热爱赛跑。这样很好，我和妻子看过他的每一场比赛。我们是在没理由反对赛跑！但我们的却觉得我们的儿子需要面对现实才行，既然他现在在逐渐长大，那么他就需要考虑到如果最终他没有成为一名专业的田径运动员那么会怎么办？

很多书被写的都是有关“给予的艺术”，那有关接受的艺术呢？有些时候接受一件礼物也是很困难的，特别是当别人给你买你不想要的礼物的时候。 我记得我在大约十二岁的时候，我的父母给我买了一个紫色的钱包”郭小景（音译）笑道，“这真的让我尴尬，因为老实说，我认为那个钱包真的很丑。但我还是假装我很喜欢，因为我知道这样会让我的爸妈很高兴。” 韩灵（音译）同意这个观点。“那听起来就像我的爷爷奶奶！几年前，过生日爷爷奶奶给了我一件橙色的毛衣。我每次去看他们的时候就会穿上它，但是当我离开他们家的时候，我就会脱掉它。当然，这让我觉得内疚。这是一个很好的想法，但是我祖父母和我有着不同的品味。我觉得给别人买衣服或者买其他的个人用品是很难的。” 为了省事，有些人宁愿只送钱。在一些文化中，接受钱会让人很不舒服。John Wilson说：“当别人给我钱时，这让我觉得他们很懒。在英国有句谚语，‘心意最重要’，当有人给我钱时，我觉得他们根本没有想过。我更喜欢收到背后融有想法的礼物，如果是我不需要的一些东西我也不介意。如果有人花心思在我的礼物上，这会让我感到很开心。”在这个问题上，不同的人有不同的想法。所以可能接受的艺术比给予的艺术更加复杂。你认为呢？ 3a 1.Receiving money might make people feel
uncomfortable. 2.We might pretend to like a gift because we don’t want to offend the person who gave it to us. 3.Han Ling wore the sweater to make his grandparents happy. 4.It’s important to make people feel that you like the gift they gave you. 5.It’s sometimes easier to give a gift than to receive one.
Reading Skills Increasing Word Power 扩大词汇量 Words are the bricks to build up any language. How can we increase our word power? 1. Read Extensively 2. Listen and Note. 3. Etymology 4. Check Unfamiliar Words 5. Solve Crosswords 6. Use the Words You Learn Preventing Regression 避免回视 Regression means rereading a word, phrase, or sentence out of habit and not because of need. Sometimes, it is necessary to reread something, especially in a difficult passage. But habitual, unnecessary regression really slows you down. To reduce the number of times that the eyes skip back to a previous sentence, run a pointer along the line as you read. This could be a finger, or a pen or pencil. Your eyes will follow the tip of your pointer, smoothing the flow of speed-reading. The speed at which you read using this method will largely depend on the speed at which you move the pointer. You can also use a card or paper to cover the text after you read it to prevent regression. This will train your eyes to look forward, and eventually you won’t need the guide to focus your vision. Avoiding Vocalization and Inner Speech 避免出声阅读 Put a finger over your lips or on your vocal cords! Broadening Eye Span 扩大视幅 Reading is composed of a series of fixations (注视) which the eye makes while viewing a printed line. During these fixation pauses, the material viewed is translated into meanings by the brain. A good reader will make three to four fixations for ordinary line of print; the poor reader eight to twelve or more. To reduce fixations, take several words or chunk words together in parentheses. Practice seeing more than one word at a time, and increase the amount of words in parentheses each time you practice. With time, you may be able to read an entire line of text in one fixation. Reading in Thought Groups 按意群读 While making constant efforts to improve your reading comprehension, you should try consciously to increase your reading speed. And to read in thought groups is an easy, yet effective way of picking up speed and fluency. It means when you read, try not to think of a sentence as a string of single words. Instead, think of it as several thought groups. In other words, try to move your eyes group by group, not from word to word. In this way you will read faster. However, there are no solid rules for dividing longer sentences into thought groups. It really depends on the idea that you are trying to convey. Taking notes 做笔记 Taking notes during your reading at the recall stage keeps you active and concentrating. Besides, they provide a written record for revision. The content should include: 1. The author’s main ideas and any important details; 2. The logical structure of his/her argument; 3. Any important references he/she mentions. Basic Reading Process 基本阅读步骤 It is preferable to read a passage at least twice: the first time, to get the main idea of the passage, and then a second time, to focus on the important details. Sometimes a third time is necessary—to

人教版八年级下册英语课本翻译 ---------新目标（GO for it） 第一单元 Reading Section2 你认为你将拥有自己的机器人吗？ 在一些科幻影片中，未来的人们拥有自己的机器人。这些机器人像人类一样，他们帮助人们做家务，做人类最不想做的工作。一些科学家相信未来会有这样的机器人，然而，他们认为这样可能需要数百年的时间。科学家们现在正尽力使机器人看起来像人一样，与我们做同样的事情。日本的公司已经能让机器人走路、跳舞了。这种机器人看起来也是很有趣的。 但是机器人科学家詹姆斯·怀特不同意。他认为对机器人来说与人做同样的事情会很难。例如，对一个孩子来说醒来并不知道他在哪里是很容易的。怀特先生认为机器人将不能做到这一点。但是其他的科学家不这样认为。他们认为在25到50年内机器人将能够与人们对话。 机器人科学家们不仅仅是在尽力使机器人看起来像人，例如，已有机器人在工厂工作了。这些机器人看起来更像巨大的手臂。他们反复做那些简单的工作。人们不愿做这样的工作并且会厌烦。但是机器人永远不会厌烦。 在未来，到处都将有更多的机器人，并且人类将做更少的工作。新的机器人将有很多不同的形状。有些看起来像人，有些将会看起来像蛇。一场地震后，一个蛇形机器人能够帮助我们寻找（埋在）建筑物下面的人。现在看来似乎是不可能的。但在100年前，电脑、太空火箭甚至电动牙刷似乎也都是不可能的。我们永远都不知道未来会发生什么！ 第二单元 Reading Section2 也许你应该学会放松！ 对于凯西.泰勒三个孩子来说，生活非常繁忙。他们在学校已经够忙了，但放学后凯西还会把两个男孩带去打篮球和踢足球。她还会把女儿带去上钢琴课。疲惫的孩子们7点才能到家，他们很快吃完晚饭后又到写家庭作业的时间了。泰勒家的家长和许多英美的家长一样，他们带着孩子参加一个又一个活动，尽他们所能把孩子的生活添满。医生说很多孩子就生活在很大的压力下。老师们也抱怨课堂上有太多疲倦的孩子。大多数孩子都参加课后俱乐部。这些活动包括运动，语言，音乐和数学。心急的家长现在已经不是什么新鲜事了，但是现在的家长督促得有点太过了。家长看见其他家的孩子参加很多活动，所以他们就觉得他们自己的孩子也应该去参加。林达.米勒是住在伦敦的一位三个孩子的母亲，她就很清楚这中压力。她说，在一些家庭里，竞争在孩子很小的年龄时就开始了。母亲们在孩子很小的时候就把孩子送去参加各种课程，而且还老把他们和其他孩子比较。这是很疯狂的举动。人们不该这么硬逼孩子们。爱丽丝·格林博士也同意这个观点。她还说这些孩子长大后发现很难对自己的生活进行思考，因为家长过多地为他们计划了他们的人生。当他们成年后就不会自己计划自己的人生了。家长应该给孩子多一点属于他们自己的时间。一方面，孩子们需要组织好的活动，另一方面，他们也需要时间和自由来放松和更多的时间来独立完成一些事情。3a 美国和英国的孩子参加许多课外活动。许多孩子出于压力之下。如今的家长们给孩
What is reading? Reading is actually a very complex process that requires a great deal of active participation on the part of the reader. It is an active thinking process involving the interaction between the reader and the print. That is to say, the reade r?s schema (former or previous knowledge) about the topic to be read and his language knowledge (vocabulary and grammar) directly affect his understanding of the reading material and in turn, the new information about the topic contained in the reading mat erial will enlarge the reader?s former schema. Reading is a very important means of gaining knowledge about culture, custom, science education and technology from others or other countries. It is a good way of learning the most advanced hi-technology to serve the needs of the social development and the interests of our people through reading. Reading is an inseparable component of the English learning. We should lay solid foundations for our advanced education, and we can master the language by reading largely. However, it is a very complex activity involves almost all psychological processes including sensation, perception, motor behavior, motivation, attention, emotion, cognition and all kinds of memory. Reading is an active process; the reader can talk with the characters, acting the role, seeing through the thought of whiter. A good reading teacher A good reading teacher can use certain motivational strategies that encourage independent learning and help weak learners. Through these strategies, learners have a better chance of developing strong reading skills. It is essential for a good reading teacher to know that the learner starts reading before he or she even begins school, and the activity continues throughout their school career. Hence, it is advisable for us to give our students the right reading instructions from the very beginning. There are certain techniques and methods applied by us to improve the reading skill of the students. It is essential that the teacher understand and relate to the reading instructions that were previously introduced and practiced on the student. Experienced teachers must know the different ways to teach effective reading and must be able to use a variety of materials and texts to ensure the success of the exercise. Good reading teachers constantly attempt to introduce different reading strategies in order to improve the reading skills of children. Some reading instructions need to be given to children according to their reading abilities. Moreover, it is essential that reading teachers give personal attention to each of their students. The most important quality of a good reading teacher is that he or she must always regard themselves as life-long learners, so that they will be able to teach their students in the best way possible. Reading provides detailed information on Reading, Home Reading, Reading Glasses, Reading Comprehension and more. Efficient reading Actually, efficient reading is about reading in a way that allows us to understand the writer's message without spending too much time in the process. That means two things, understanding texts ands reading fast. Someone think understanding is more important, or someone thinks reading fast is more important. I tend to be both. The first step for efficient reading is to know what you want. So the first thing for the student to do is to decide what he wants to get out of his reading. Hence as a reading teacher, the first thing for the student to do is to decide exactly what he wants to get out of his reading.
