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 focus-until 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(随意地)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.【4】The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby's .A. sense of hearingB. sense of sightC. sense of touchD. sense of smell【5】Babies are sensitive to the change in .A. the size of cardsB. the colour of picturesC. the shape of patternsD. the number of objects【6】Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.B. To see how babies recognize sounds.C. To carry their experiment further.D. To keep the babies'interest.【7】Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fiction.B. Children's literature.C. An advertisement.D. A science report.C(2018浙江温州九校高一第二学期期中联考)Sure, it's good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.And yes, it's good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it's smart to learn how to understand the different types of people you'll meet throughout your life.“But really, there's one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, learning bursts right open, "says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column(专栏)called“Teacher Says" for The Washington Post newspaper.In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but are more comfortable when asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do their best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school life like bullying.As a kid in a primary or middle school, you're at a wonderful stage in your life. You're like a sponge(海绵),able to absorb lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you're able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and, in most cases, is very excited to be the person who's giving you all that material and helping you make it. Remember, teachers are people, too, and theyfeel great if you're open to what they're teaching you. That's why they wanted to be teachers!Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren't going well, they won't learn as well and won't enjoy being in class.【8】In the passage, the author mainly talks about .A. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasantB. how much the students are expected of to get along with teachersC. the importance of a good relationship with teachersD. how to get along well with others【9】The underlined part “learning bursts right open”in the third paragraph probably means .A. there'll be no problems at all with learningB. there'll be more problems with learningC. you find an opening for learningD. learning becomes easier for you at once【10】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Teachers are excited even if you wouldn't like to accept their teaching.B. Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do.C. Some students can still learn even if they don't like the teacher.D. A bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies.第二节根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。

sort at a time in a shop located in Ginza, Tokyo's luxury shopping district.You might argue that it's hardly a bookstore if you can't go in and spend at least a few hours looking through hundreds of books, but Morioka never intended to create a classic bookstore.He notes that it's like a weekly suggested reading service.You just go in and directly pick up the book chosen for the week, relieving yourself of the burden of choice.“Before this bookst ore, I had been running another one in Kayabacho for ten years,”Morioka said, “There, I used to organize book launches (新书发布).During such events, a lot of people visited the store for a single book.I started to believe that perhaps with just one book, a bo okstore could be managed.”To finance the store, Morioka sold his huge collection of Japanese wartime propaganda (宣传资料).The store is very small, with walls and ceiling barely covered with a thin coat of white paint.An oldfashioned cupboard with many drawe rs serves as the counter, while a wooden table in the center displays the title of the week.The bookstore serves as an exhibition of the book and its plot, making the story come alive.Morioka also asks the author to be at the bookstore for as much time as possible.It isn't clear how Morioka goes about choosing which book to sell.However, he has sold out a total of 2, 000 books up to now.“The concept of this bookstore seems to have gained the sympathy of people, and I receive a number of guests from all over the globe, ”he said.5.What makes Morioka's bookstore special?A.It is in the shopping center.B.The authors act as

The book has shown us how a warmhearted writer can arouse people's sympathies.The author herself had neither been to the Southern States nor seen a slave.The Southern Americans were very angry at the

Dian Fossey, one of the world's leading women scientists, had a remarkable career.The work — she devoted her life to protecting and studying the mountain gorillas (大猩猩) of Africa —has proved highly effective and has resulted in the steady (平稳的) increase of this mostendangered great apes.Fossey made her first trip to Africa in 1963.Three years later, she returned to Africa to begin a longterm study of the mountain gorillas.She set up camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo but moved to Rwanda because of political reasons in 1967.She established her “Karisoke” Research Centre camp on September 24, 1967.Fossey's aims were to study gorilla ecology (生态学) and social organization.She found that in order to achieve this, she needed to recognize individual gorillas, which required that the gorillas get used to her presence (出现).By copying gorillas, behaviour and sounds, Fossey began to gain their trust, and in 1970 an adult male gorilla she had named “Peanuts” reached out to touch her hand.Close observations over thousands of hours enabled Fossey to gain the gorillas' trust and bring forth new knowledge about their behaviour.Stories and photographs of her work were published in National Geographic Magazine and elsewhere.In 1977, one of Fossey's favorite gorillas, Digit, was killed by poachers and she established the Digit Fund to help raise money for gorilla protection efforts in the same year.On December 26, 1985, Fossey was murdered while going back to her house in Karisoke.Her body was discovered near the research centre.Most probably, Dian Fossey had been killed by the poachers she'd fought against.On her tombstone (墓碑):“No one loved gorillas more ...”In 1988, the life and the work of Fossey were made into a movie based on her book.1.Why does the author say “Dr Dian Fossey had a remarkable career”?A.Because she travelled all over the world.B.Because she liked to play with gorillas.C.Because she studied gorilla ecology.D.Because she made great apes increase steadily.2.Which of the following shows the right time order of the events in Fossey's life?a.She established the Digit Fund.b.Her story was shown in a movie.c.She was killed probably by the poachers.d.She established her “Karisoke” centre.A.a,d,c,b B.a,c,d,bC.d,c,b,a D.d,a,c,b3.The underlined word “poachers” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to people who ________.A.sell drugs against the lawB.hunt animals against the lawC.hate successful peopleD.like to do harm to people4.From the words on Fossey's tombstone, we can infer that ________.A.Fossey was the person who loved gorillas mostB.after Fossey died, no one loves gorillasC.Fossey was the first one to study gorillasD.everybody loves gorillas as Fossey did课下能力提升(一)Ⅰ.1.解析:选D在考试中作弊要用cheat;fool表示“愚弄”;mean doing

School kids can take field trips to the moon weekly. We will have found cures (疗法) for AIDS and cancer. The war will have ended and peace flows freely through the land. Kids will learn more and be smarter than ever before!History will be the main subject at school. Cafeteria (自助餐厅) food will be delicious!You just walk up to a machine, stick out your tongue, and it will scan your taste buds (味蕾) to see what you want to eat.—KristenHere I am in the wonderful year of 2500 and life is so easy. I work in a pet store and it is so hard!I have to wake up at midnight every day and fly my car to the store. It takes so long to get there. It takes me 20 seconds to get to the store in Mississippi from my home in Florida!At work, I have to push 5 buttons and then I go home. It takes 2 seconds and that is like forever.—MorganIn the year 2500, I think we will have invented cars that run on things we don't need like garbage. Tail gas will smell like whatever you like such as chocolate. I also predict that buildings will be able to go into a different dimension (维) so your car won't hit them. The cars in 2500 don't fly, for we haven't got that technology yet, but they can hover (回旋) up to seven feet. These cars are made for speed!—CarlyInstead of cars, we may have hovering devices that float around. We could also have electric cars instead of gaspowered cars. Food might be more healthy. What I believe is that the environment will change the most. The environmental changes will also determine many other changes. If more people try to help the environment, then perhaps in 2500 we will have more forests and wildlife. If people won't help the environment, then we will have no forests and little wildlife left.—Roberta1.According to Kristen, what will happen in 2500?A.English will be the main subject at school.B.Students can go to the moon every week.C.Cafeteria will replace other restaurants.D.AIDS and cancer will disappear.2.The underlined word “scan” in the text could be replaced by “________”.A.change B.treatC.examine D.improve3.Morgan thinks his work in the pet store is ________.A.difficult B.meaninglessC.important D.easy4.Roberta thinks that in 2500 ________.A.the environment will have changed a lotB.there will be more wildlife and forestsC.the environment will be seriously damagedD.cars will run on solar power and electricityBMy legs don't do much because I have a serious disease. They just sit there and look pretty. When people look at me, they only see the chair — my wheelchair. I've been in one since I was 3 years old. And it doesn't matter if I graduate at the top of my class and go to law school. To some, I'll always be the girl in the chair.But I don't think of myself as the kid who can't walk. Most of my friends don't even notice the chair anymore. I'm just the girl they've been friends with. My friends are good at lifting me in and out of my small car when we go to the movies. We even took the car to the dance. One of the boys helped me out of the car and all the girls helped me to fix my dress. Even in the crowded school elevator, there's always someone around to carry me.There are a lot of things I can't do for myself, such as lifting my arms, dressing myself, and feeding myself. Even so, I do very well at school and I always tell myself that I'm just like any other kid in my school.The truth is that my parents raised me to be proud of my disability (残疾). There are plenty of things I wish I could do differently. I wanted to be a doctor. But that's not going to work out. So I'll be a lawyer (律师) instead. I also wanted to dance and play soccer. My parents taught me that I'm like this for a reason — to educate people and show them that this disease affects (侵袭) my bones — not my brain. My friends Erica once said to me,“Kennedy, you're not disabled. You justcan't walk.”5.What does the underlined word“They”in the first paragraph refer to?A.The author's legs.B.The author's chairs.C.The author's friends.D.The author's diseases.6.We can learn from the second paragraph that the author ________.A.is the dancing queen of her schoolB.is afraid of taking the school elevatorC.often gets lots of help from her friendsD.can't be understood by her schoolmates7.Kennedy's story mainly tells us that we should ________.A.work hard B.smile at lifeC.have dreams D.thank our parentsCWhat will man be like in the future — in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now?We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones!This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular, the forehead will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair?This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then,both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at!This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.8.The passage mainly tells us that ________.A.man's life will be different in the futureB.future man will look quite different from usC.man is growing taller and uglier as time passesD.man's organs' functions will be on the wane9.What serves as the evidence that man is changing?A.Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.B.Man's hair is getting thinner and thinner.C.Man's arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.D.Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.10.Which of the following is TRUE about a human being in the future?A.He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.B.He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.C.His fingers grow weaker because he doesn't have to make use of them.D.He thinks and feels in different ways.11.It is implied that ________.A.human beings will become less attractive in the futureB.less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degenerationC.human beings hope for a change in the future lifeD.future life is always predictable课下力量提升(一)语篇解读:文章描述了到2500年人类的生活状况。

Japanese bookseller Yoshiyuki Morioka has come up with a highly unusual concept for a bookstore.He sells books of a sort at a time in a shop located in Ginza, Tokyo's luxury shopping district.
You might argue that it's hardly a bookstore if you can't go in and spend at least a few hours looking through hundreds of books, but Morioka never intended to create a classic bookstore.He notes that it's like a weekly suggested reading service.You just go in and directly pick up the book chosen for the week, relieving yourself of the burden of choice.
“Before this bookstore, I had been running another one in Kayabacho for ten years,”Morioka said, “There, I used to organize book launches (新书发布).During such events, a lot of people visited the store for a single book.I started to believe that perhaps with just one book, a bookstore could be。
