For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a singleline through the center.Passage OneMany people consider switching from homeschooling to traditional schooling as a student grows older, for reasons including more challenging content, social and athletic opportunities, and growth and independence.For the special needs child, the reverse often occurs. It is at home that the student can be appropriately challenged and can become an independent learner. This is for a number of reasons: First, challenges often become more troublesome, and often students are deprived of academic opportunities because they cannot take advantage of the way that learning is being offered. Second, school often simply becomes more competitive. Third, gaps between reading and writing skills and intellectual ability become much more of a problem as students are given reading and writing assignments that may be appropriate for most students - and if not, most students can survive them -- but are overwhelming to the student with dyslexia.Many schools that provide excellent special services to students in elementary school simply don't provide them at upper levels.Other schools don't provide the services students need at all -- but a bright student can compensate for a while. Many the student who has not been taught accurate reading skills has successfully memorized enough words and used his native intelligence and pictures and context to succeed in elementary school; then when a "reading problem" is discovered in middle school, parents are told "it's too late to remediate." It's not.16. According to the passage, which of the following is not mentioned as a benefit of traditionalschooling?A. IndependenceB. Social opportunitiesC. SafetyD. Athletic opportunities17. The special needs child most probably refers to _________ .A. a child with high intelligenceB. a geniusC. a child with ordinary abilityD. a child who needs special help18. ‘Dyslexia’ means _________ .A. reading problemB. sleeping problemC. physical problemD. problem in social interaction19. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to this passage?A. Not all the schools provide the services students need.B. It is too late to remediate a reading problem when it is discovered in middle school.C. A bright student can survive for a while without special help.D. It is easier to succeed in elementary school.20. According to paragraph two, _________ might be better for the special needs child.A. homeschoolingB. traditional schoolingC. more challenging tasksD. more competitive tasksPassage TwoEvery chance she gets, five-year-old Gina visits Grandma Lilly. Gina likes to talk with her grandma and watch her cook. Everything Grandma Lilly makes is delicious, but Gina especially loves the little cookies shaped like teddy bears, dolls, flowers, and hearts.And Grandma Lilly, who enjoys this precious time with her granddaughter, uses the cookies to teach Gina certain things she will need to know as she grows up by helping her to develop the five senses and her imagination. Perhaps the most important lesson Grandma Lilly teaches Gina is that most of the foods and the cookies she prepares taste so delicious because they are made with love.One day Gina’s mother tells her she cannot visit Grandma Lilly because she has become very sick and is in the hospital. Gina begs and cries, but her mother explains that Grandma Lilly is so ill that she is in a very deep sleep and needs her rest. Gina tries to think of something that will help her grandmother and suddenly remembers the cookies. She will bake a batch of them all by herself, and because she will make them with all the love she has in her heart, Grandma Lilly will feel better!Touched by her daughter’s love and determination, Gina’s mother finally agrees to take her to the hospital with her cookies to visit her grandmother. There, Grandma Lilly teaches her little granddaughter another lesson about love that she will be able to pass on to her own children and grandchildren in the years to come.21.

The theme of this passage is _________ .A. the relationship with grandma and granddaughterB. cooking delicious foodC. loveD. visiting grandmaPassage ThreeChina's State Council pledged Monday to further upgrade the funding system for the country's medical institutions in small townships and cities.To ensure low income-earners can afford essential medications, the government will provide additional funding to these hospitals, while improving the funding system.Since August 2009, more than half of China's medical clinics in rural townships and small urban communities have been offering essential medications at low prices thanks to the ongoing healthcare reform, according to a State Council executive meeting presided over by Premier Wen Jiabao.However, some medical institutions were short of funds because of the lowered drug prices.According to the meeting, under the new system the operational expenditure of government-run hospitals and clinics in townships or urban communities would be covered by government subsidies and medical service charges.Also, government authorities were required to allocate enough funds so that medical institutions could purchase basic medical facilities and equipment, while also arranging subsidies for medical staff."Regular channels and ways of funding and subsidizing grassroots medical organizations should be established to ensure their smooth operation and development and the successful implementation of essential medical systems," a statement issued after the meeting said.The statement called for government authorities to offer more subsidies for rural medical practitioners and village-based clinics. Local authorities were also encouraged to support village clinics in terms of construction, equipment purchasing and personnel trainingAppropriate subsidies would also be provided to non-government run grassroots clinics for medical services that are open to the public. The medical insurance scheme would cover those qualified clinics26. ‘Pledge’ means __________ .A. refuseB. promiseC. declineD. declare27. The government will provide additional funding to the hospitals to make essentialmedications available to ___________ .A. people in big citiesB. foreignersC. people with low incomeD. all the citizens28. The State Council executive meeting was _________by Premier Wen Jiabao.A. chairedB. preparedC. offeredD. funded29. Accoding to the passage, _________ is the major means to guanantee the success of thehealthcare reform.A. purchasing basic medical facilitiesB. building more hospitalsC. personnel trainingD. government subsidy30. In this passage, the author is ________ to the ongoing healthcare reform.A. subjectiveB. objectiveC. sarcasticD. cynicalPassage FourWith the possible exception of equal rights, perhaps the most controversial issue across the United States today is the death penalty. Many argue that it is an effective way to stop murder, while others maintain that there is no convincing evidence that death penalty reduces the number of murders.The main argument by those opposed to the death penalty, basically, is that it is a cruel and inhuamn punishment that is the mark of a brutal society, and finally it is questionable whether it is effective to reduce crime anyway.The value of the death penalty as a way to reduce crime may be open to debate. But the overwhelming majority of citizens believe that the death penalty protects them. Their belief is reinforced by evidence which shows that death penalty reduces murder. For example, from 1954 to 1963, when the death penalty was consistently imposed in California, the murder rate remained between three and four murders for each 100,000 population. Since 1964 the death lenalty has been imposed only once, and the murder rate has risen to 10.4 murders for each 100,000 population. This sharp increase in the state’s murder rate, which began when executions stopped, is no coincidence. It is convincing evidence that the death penalty does stop many murderers. If the bill reestablishing the death penalty is vetoed, innocent people will be murdered—some whose lives may have been saved if the death penalty were in effect. This is literally a life or death matter. The lives of thousands of innocent people must be protected.31. ‘Penalty’ means _________ .A. rewardB. punishmentC. managementD. control32. Which of the following is NOT an argument by those opposed to death penalty?A. Death penalty is a cruel punishment.B. Death penalty is an inhuman punishmentC. Death penalty is an effective way to reduce crime.D. Death penalty is a mark of a brutal society.33. The majority of citizens believe that the death penalty is ______ .A. inhuman to all the peopleB. cruel to murderersC. a brutal way of punishmentD. effective to stop murder34. The murder rates from 1954 to 1963 and since 1964 in California are used to show that deathpenalty _________ .A. is effective to reduce murderB. is inffective to reduce murderC. does not influence murder rateD. fails to protect innocent people35. The author of this passage is ________ to the reestablishing of death penalty.A. negativeB. neutralC. positiveD. suspiciousPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

听说模拟考试题(文字稿):A卷(2011年1月15日上午使用)Part A Reading AloudOur sense of taste has evolved to guide us to what we need wherever we go. It lets us enjoy a wonderful range of foods, limited only by the preferences we’re born with, and the occasional dish that poisons us. It takes us right to the edge ofwhat’s safe to eat. And there’s one food above all others that shows just how far we’re willing to push those limits. We’ve come to a hot chilli-eating competition in the American Mid West, to find out just how far the human sense of taste can go. Keeping watch in the audience is Professor Paul Jones, who’s spent years studying why we keep coming back for the burn.Part B Role PlayM: Hi, Lucy. It’s you. What a surprise to meet you in the club.W: Oh, hi, Billy. I come here to take the modern dancing class. And what about you? Are you a member?M: Not yet. The summer holiday is coming and I want to take some lessons before I travel to Europe in August. So a few of my friends recommended that I join this club. You seem to be doing really well. How long have you been coming here?W: For about six months. I come here every Friday after school. I really love dancing. When I was young, I dreamed of becoming a dancer and giving performances on the stage. Now I am preparing for a dancing contest next month.Task 11) 你是怎么为舞蹈比赛做参赛准备的?W: Well, I mainly just practice really hard. I also like to dance in front of my friends to build up my confidence. Before going to bed, I also listen to the music to get familiar with the rhythm.2) 你喜欢俱乐部里的老师吗?W: Of course, they are all kind and patient. I have made great progress sinceI came here.3) 我怎样才能成为这个俱乐部的成员呢?W: Err…first, you have to fill a form at the reception desk. The teachers will introduce to you some popular courses. If you haven’t got time now you can call the office for more information on 866 17958. As we’re students, we will get a 10% discount for our courses.Task 24)What does Billy plan to do in August?5)What does Lucy study at the club?6) How does Lucy build up her confidence?7)What does Lucy think of the teachers in the club?8)What’s the phone number for more information?Part C Story RetellingA daughter complained to her father that her life was difficult and that she didn’t know what to do. Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen. He filled two pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Then he put potatoes in one pot and eggs in the second. He then let them boil, without saying a word to his daughter. The daughter waited impatiently, wondering what he was doing. After twenty minutes he turned off the burners and took the food out. He asked his daughter what she could see. “Potatoes and eggs,”she replied quickly. Her father then asked her to look closer and touch them. The daughter was still puzzled. The father explained to her that the potatoes and the eggs had each faced the same difficulty --- the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently. In the boiling water, the strong and hard potato became soft and weak. However, the egg, with only a thin shell to protect it became hard. The father asked his daughter again, “When difficulty knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a potato oran egg?”The daughter smiled and understood that when faced with difficulty, she should be determined to fight back.B卷(2011年1月15日下午使用)Part A Reading AloudTo test how well human beings balance, we’ve set up a simple test with a suitcase, some weights and a group of volunteers. First the suitcase is filled with around 12 kilos of weight. The volunteers are asked to pick up the suitcase and repeat the movement a few times. Then we take them out of the studio and ask them a question that has nothing to do with the experiment. And while the volunteer is elsewhere we replace the weighted suitcase with an empty one. Because they don’t know that a switch has been made they automatically balance themselves for a heavy case. So they falter but they don’t fall over.Part B Role PlayW: Officer, a man has stolen my car, just around the corner from my little boy’s school. It’s a Honda, a blue one.M: Madam, when did this happen? Where exactly was your car?W: I guess it was about 3:20 this afternoon. I had just parked the car in the school car park area, that’s where I always leave it, and was hurrying into the school playground to find my son and take him home.M: Hm, Madam. I’ll give you a crime report number and I will need some more information. Do you mind if I ask you a few more questions?W: Of course not.M: Did you see the person who stole it?W: Mm, only his back.Task 11) 你能把那个小偷描述一下么?W: Umm, well, he seemed quite tall and very thin.

He hadn’t eaten for three days, and the only thing he had was a cooking pot. He poured some water in the pot and put it on a small fire. When a few villagers asked what he was doing, he replied that he was making a special stone soup using a secret method. He took out an ordinary stone from his pocket and put it in the pot. As the water boiled, he tasted his soup and said it was delicious, but a bit of salt would make it even better. One curious villager brought him some salt. “How tasty it would be with some oil,”said the traveler. Another man rushed home and brought him some oil. This continued with the traveler casually asking for some tomatoes, potatoes and a bit of meat. Finally, the whole village was able to enjoy the delicious soup. “The soup smelled so good. It must be that special stone,”they said. But the secret is that life will be better with everyone’s contribution.A卷参考答案及要点Part B Role Play(接受所有正确的答案)Task 11) How do you prepare for the dancing contest? / What do you do to prepare for the dancing contest?/ How are you preparing for the dancing contest?2) Do you like the teachers in the club / here?3) How can I become a member of this club?/ How can I join?Task 24)He plans to travel to Europe./ travel to Europe.5)She studies modern dancing./ Modern dancing.6)By dancing before her friends./ She often dances before her friends./ Dances before her friends.7)She thinks they are all kind and patient./ They are all kind and patient./ Kind and patient.8)It’s 866 17958./ 866 17958.模拟A卷Part B Role Play评分细则B卷参考答案及要点Part B Role Play(接受所有正确的答案)Task 11) Can you describe the thief?/ What does the thief look like?/ Tell me what the thief look like.2) How (Why) did (could) he steal it so quickly?3) Could I have your name and phone number, please?/ Could you tell me your name and phone number? / What’s your name and phone number?/ And your name and phone number please?Task 24) (From) the school car park.5) (She came) to pick up (get) her son./ (She came) to take her son home./ Picking up (Getting) her son./ Taking her son home.6) He was quite tall and thin./ Tall and thin.7) The woman forgot to lock her car.8) Her phone number is 7956-117234./ It’s 7956-117234./ 7956-117234.A卷Part C Story Retelling应包括要点:(参考)1)女儿抱怨生活艰难2)父亲把马铃薯和鸡蛋放在锅里煮3)煮了很久,女儿不耐烦4)终于煮完,父亲问女儿看到什么,女儿不明白5)父亲让女儿仔细看并触摸一下,女儿仍不明白6)父亲解释马铃薯和鸡蛋面临两样困难7)但两者反应不同:马铃薯变软,鸡蛋变硬8)女儿明白道理:面对困难要抗争B卷Part C Story Retelling应包括要点:(参考)1)村庄发生天灾,庄稼死,人挨饿2)人们收藏食物防盗3)穷旅人到来,用仅有的锅煮水4)村民问他干嘛,他说煮特别的石头汤5)旅人尝了一下,说汤很美味,但缺点盐,马上有村民拿盐给他6)就这样,旅人从村民那得到油和其他食材7)最后,全村人都尝上了美味的汤8)秘诀在于:人人都奉献,生活更美好世上没有一件工作不辛苦,没有一处人事不复杂。

From childhood to old age, we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of ourselves and the world about us. When humans first 1 , they were like newborn children, unable to use this 2 tool. Yet once language developed, the possibilities for human ki nd‘s future 3 and cultural growth increased.Many linguists believe that evolution is 4 for our ability to produce and use language. They 5 that our highly evolved brain provides us with an innate language ability not found in lower 6 . Proponents of this innateness theory say that our 7 for language is inborn, but that language itself develops gradually, as a function of the growth of the brain during childhood. Therefore there are critical 8 times for language development.Current 9 of innateness theory are mixed, however, evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable. Indeed, more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in the lower grades. Young children often can learn several languages by being 10 to them, while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the 11 of their first language have become firmly fixed.Although some aspects of language are undeniably innate, language does not develop automatically in a vacuum. Children who have been 12 from other human beings do not possess language. This demonstrates that 13 with other human beings is necessary for proper language development. Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language14 than any innate capacities. These theorists view language as imitative, learned behavior.15 , children learn language from their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually shape their child's language skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcingimprecise ones.1. A. generated B. evolved C. born D. originated2.

II.阅读(共两节,满分50分) 第―节阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分) A I had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal, eggs and toast. Others had cokes and candy for lunch, while we had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different than the othe r kids’. But at least I was not alone in my suffering. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did. My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. We had to wear clean clothes every day. Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace because she made our clothes herself, just to save money. The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and up at 7:45 the next morning. So while my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labor Law. She made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, our friends’ report cards had beautiful colors on them, bl ack for passing, red for failing. My mother, however, would merely be content with black marks. None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Using this as a background, I’m now trying tobring up my three children. I’m filled with pride when my children think I am mean because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world. 26. From the passage we can learn that the writer’s mother was __________. A. not generous at all B. very strict with her children C. very mean with money matters D. very cruel to her children 27. Which of the following things did the writer hate to do most? A. Eating differently from other kids. B. Wearing clean clothes made by mother C. Going to bed early and getting up early D. Letting mother know where they were 28. It can be inferred from the passage that____________. A. the writer worked hard and usually got good grades in studies B. mother was punished for breaking the Labor Law C. all the other kids studied better than the writer D. the writer’s family lived a miserable life 29. Which of the following statements is Not true according to the passage ? A. Mother practised economy in running her home B. The writer is very thankful for her mother C. The writer is severe with her children when bringing them up D. The wrier has a deep hatred for her mother 30. The passage was written in a way of _________ tone. A. humorous B. hateful C. ridiculous D. criticalB As is reported, 113,000,000 Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They use credit cards in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in different places, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the "cashless society" is not on the horizon----it's already here. While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers(记录器) can do much morethan simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customer for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself. Many other companies, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas station to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.31. According to the passage, the credit card makes its owner to _______________ . A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes B. obtain more convenient services than other people do C. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper D. cash money where he wishes to 32. From the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that ______________. A. in the future all the Americans will use credit cards B. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cash C. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before D. credit cards are mainly used in the United States today 33. The phrase “ring up sales” most probably means _______________. A. make an order of goods B. record sales on a cash register C. call the sales manager D. keep track of the goods in stock 34. What is this passage mainly about? A. Approaches to the commercial use of computers. B. Conveniencesbrought about by computers in business. C. Significance of automation in commercial companies. D. Advantage of credit cards in business. 35. It can be inferred that ________________.A. computers will bring disasterB. computer industry will not develop fasterC. computers will bring about more convenience to people’s lifeD. computers can only used in banks C Designed specifically for kids that live online, Discovery announced a new fun and interactive homework tool that uses the power of broadband and media to help achieve academic breakthroughs at home.

COSMEO also has 15,000 interactive quizzes and 200subject-related Brain Games---making homework fun! And most importantly-----all the content is aligned (调整) by state curriculum standards and grade level----- COSMEO gives kids the tools they need to succeed and gives parents the reassurance that the content is not only safe, but powerfully engineered to help their kids with academic breakthroughs.

Students who were exposed to their service in the classroom have been scientifically proven to perform 12 to 15 percent better than those who were not. Now kids can access this proven content in their homes, and COSMEO presents the information in a way that is kid-friendly, interactive, appealing and fun. COSMEO is structured for use by multiple children in the same family. Parents simply select the grade level of the user for accessto age-appropriate learning materials. COSMEO can help a third-grader with multiplication tables and an older student with algebra equations(代数等式). COSMEO uses a multimedia, multi- sensory environment to let kids learn in the way they learn best----- in formats they know, use and, most importantly, enjoy! 36. What’s the purpose of the passage?

Children model themselves largely on their parents. They do so mainly through identification.

AChildren start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there’s no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children’s curiosity(好奇). Firstly, listen to their questions.I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary(薪水) and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, “Now that we’re finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?”After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?”This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical(符合逻辑的), complete and creative answers.Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, don’t jump in with “That’s right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior(行为). But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying “That’s interesting” or “I’d never thought of it that way before”, or coming up with more questions or ideas.Never push a child to “Think”. It doesn’t make sense, children are always thinking, without your telling them to. What’s more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target(目标) for your disagreement.Lastly, show; don’t tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than anylesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass(放大镜), and they’ll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates(蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.36. According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interest, the most important thing for adults to do is _______.A. to let them see the world aroundB. to share the children’s curiosityC. to explain difficult phrases about scienceD. to supply the children with lab equipment37. In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the word “lists” could best be replaced by ______.A. any questionsB. any problemsC. questions from textbooksD. any number of questions38. According to the passage, children can answer questions in a more logical, complete and creative way if adults ________.A. ask them to answer quicklyB. wait for one or two seconds after a questionC. tell them to answer the next dayD. wait at least for three seconds after a question39. In which of the following paragraph(s) does the author tell us what to say to encourage children in a science discussion?A. The second and third.B. The fourth and fifth.C. The fifth and sixth.D. The seventh.40. The author mentions all of the following techniques for adults to share with their children’s curiosity except that adults should ________.A. tell their children stories instead of reciting (背诵) factsB. offer their children chances to see things for themselvesC. be patient enough when their children answer questionsD. encourage their children to ask questions of their ownBDear all,Please read Professor Hume's email about his next lecture on Rosa Parks.Susan MillerSecretary*************************************Dear Susan,Please forward this message to students of my history class.Besides the life story of Rosa Parks in the textbook, the students are also required to read the passage below and some related stories that can be borrowed from the school library.Ted Hume.*************************************The early experiences of Rosa Parks(1913-2005), long known as the “mother of the civil rights movement,” were not different from those of many African-Americans at that time. The black woman, however, turned the course of American history in December 1955 when she ref used to give up her seat on a bus to a white man. “By sitting down,” remarked John Lewis, “she was standing up for all Americans.”Among the numerous awards Parks received in her life were the Presidential Medal of Freedom(1996) and the Congressional Gold Medal(1999).Parks died on Oct. 24, 2005. At St. Paul A. M. E. Church in Montgomery, a large crowd including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice celebrated her life. Rice said she and others, who grew up when the political activities of Parks held public attention, might not have realized her impact(影响) on their lives, “but I can honestly say that without Mrs. Parks, I probably would not be standing here as Secretary of State.”After her casket(灵柩) was placed at the Capitol, U. S. President Bush, members of Congress and ordinary Americans paid their respects. In American history Parks is the first woman to lie instate at the Capitol, a very high regard usually reserved for Presidents of the United States.31. What is the main purpose of Susan’s email?A. To make arrangements for Professor Hume's class.B. To introduce to the students Rosa Parks.C. To help the students organize a lecture.D. To answer Professor Hume's last email.32. What does the underlined word “forward” mean?A. Explain.B. Send.C. Take.D. Read.33. The political impact of Rosa Parks lies in the fact that she ______.A. helped Condoleezza Rice achieve political successB. joined the civil rights movement at a young ageC. made racial equality a common value in American societyD. set a good example in her early life for other black Americans34. How was Rosa Parks treated after her death?A. She was named “mother of the civil rights movement. “B. She was received by President Bush at the Capitol.C. She was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom.D. She was honored to lie in state at the Capitol.35. Which of the following statements about Rosa Parks is wrong?A.

Parks died at the age of 92.D. Rosa Parks won respects both ordinary Americans and members of Congress.CDanielle Steel, America’s sweetheart, is one of the hardest working woman in the book business.

As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna(大草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat.It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and under-bushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.41.
