It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature — that's what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features. But Christiansen couldn't find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.Most of us, when we talk about volcanoes, think of the classic cone(圆锥体) shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro, which are created when erupting magma(岩浆) piles up. These can form remarkably quickly. In 1943, a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land. In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high. Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across. Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth，all but a few hundred of them extinct. There is, however, a second less known type of volcano that doesn't involve mountain building. These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack, leaving behind a vast hole, the caldera. Yellowstone obviously was of this second type, but Christiansen couldn't find the caldera anywhere.Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone.A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the visitors' centers. As soon as Christiansen saw the photos, he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera: almost the whole park—2.2 million acres—was caldera. The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across—much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level. At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans.58. What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone?A. Its complicated geographical features.B. Its ever-lasting influence on tourism.C. The mysterious history of the park.D. The exact location of the volcano.59. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?A. The shapes of volcanoes.B. The impacts of volcanoes.C. The activities of volcanoes.D. The heights of volcanoes.60. What does the underlined word "blow-up" in the last paragraph most probably mean?A. Hot-air balloon.B. Digital camera.C. Big photograph.D. Bird's view.CWho cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than the washing machine? Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes?It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people's opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.The fascination with the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the Internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so "yesterday" that they should try tolive on ideas. This belief in "post-industrial society" has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector(制造业), with negative consequences for their economies.Even more worryingly, the fascination with the Internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the "digital divide" between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people's lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages. I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a "borderless world". As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and our under-valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions.61. Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to _______.A. a lack of confidence in technologyB. a slow progress in technologyC. a conflict of public opinionsD. a waste of limited resources62. The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should ______.A. take people's essential needs into accountB. make their programmes attractive to peopleC. ensure that each child gets financial support D provide more affordable internet facilities63. What has led many governments to remove necessary regulations?A. Neglecting the impacts of technological advances.B. Believing that the world has become borderless.C. Ignoring the power of economic development.D. Over-emphasizing the role of international communication.64. What can we learn from the passage?A. People should be encouraged to make more donations.B. Traditional technology still has a place nowadays.C. Making right career choices is crucial to personal success.D. Economic policies should follow technological trends.DThe 65-year-old Steve Goodwin was found suffering from early Alzheimer’s(阿尔兹海默症). He was losing his memory.A software engineer by profession, Steve was a keen lover of the piano, and the only musician in his family. Music was his true passion, though he had never performed outside the family.Melissa, his daughter, felt it more than worthwhile to save his music, to which she fell asleep each night when she was young. She thought about hiring a professional pianist to work with her father.Naomi, Melissa’s bes t friend and a talented pianist, got to know about this and showed willingness to help.“Why do this?” Steve wondered.“Because she cares.” Melissa said.Steve nodded, tears in eye.Naomi drove to the Goodwin home. She told Steve she’d love to hear him pla y. Steve moved to the piano and sat at the bench, hands trembling as he gently placed his fingers on the keys.Naomi put a small recorder near the piano. Starts and stops and mistakes. Long pauses, heart sinking. But Steve pressed on, playing for the first time in his life for a stranger.“It was beautiful." Naomi said after listening to the recording. “The music was worth saving.”Her responsibility, her privilege, would be to rescue it. The music was sill in Steve Goodwin. It was bidden in rooms with doors about to be locked.Naomi and Steve met every other week and spent hours together. He’d move his fingers clumsily on the piano, and then she’d take his place. He struggled to explain what he heard in his head. He stood by the piano, eyes closed, listening for the first time to his own work being played by someone else.Steve and Naomi spoke in musical code: lines, beats, intervals, moving from the root to end a song in a new key. Steve heard it. All of it. He just couldn’t play it.Working with Naomi did wonders for Steve. It had excited within him the belief he could write one last song. One day, Naomi received an email. Attached was a recording, a recording of loss and love, of the fight. Steve called it “Melancholy Flower”.Naomi heard multiple stops an d starts, Steve struggling, searching while his wife Joni called him “honey” and encouraged him. The task was so hard, and Steve, angry and upset, said he was quitting. Joni praised him, telling her husband this could be his signature piece.Naomi managed to figure out 16 of Steve’s favorite, and most personal songs. With Naomi’s help, the Goodwin family found a sound engineer to record Naomi playing Steve’s songs. Joni thought that would be the end. But it wasn’t.In the months leading up to the 2016 Oregon Repertory Singers Christmas concert, Naomi told the director she had a special one in mind: “Melancholy Flower”.She told the director about her project with Steve. The director agreed to add it to the playing list. But Naomi would have to ask Steve’s permission. He considered it an honor.After the concert, Naomi told the family that Steve’s music was beautiful and professional. It needed to be shared in public.The family rented a former church in downtown Portland and scheduled a concert. By the day of the show, more than 300 people had said they would attend.By then, Steve was having a hard time remembering the names of some of his friends. He knew the path his life was now taking. He told his family he was at peace.Steve arrived and sat in the front row, surrounded by his family. The house lights faded. Naomi took the stage. Her fingers. His heart.65. Why did Melissa want to save her father’s music?A. His music could stop his disease from worsening.B. She wanted to please her dying old father.C. His music deserved to be preserved in the family.D. She wanted to make her father a professional.66. After hear ing Steve’s playing, Naomi _______.A. refused to make a comment on itB. was deeply impressed by his musicC. decided to free Steve from sufferingD. regretted offering help to her friend67. How can the process of Steve’s recording be described?A. It was slow but productive.B. It was beneficial to his health.C. It was tiresome for Naomi.D. It was vital for Naomi’s career.68.

excited within him the belief he could write one last song． One day, Naomi received an email．Attached was a recording, a recording of loss and love, of the fight．Steve called it"Melancholy Flower．"Naomi heard multiple stops and starts, Steve struggling, searching while his wife Joni called him"honey"and encouraged him． The task was so hard, and Steve, angry and upset, said he was quitting． Joni praised him, telling her husband this could be his signature piece．Naomi managed to figure out 16 of Steve's favorite, and most personal, songs．With Naomi's help, the Goodwin family found a sound engineer to record Naomi playing Steve's songs． Joni thought that would be the end． But it wasn't．In the months leading up to the 2016 Oregon Repertory Singers Christmas concert, Naomi told the director she had a special one in mind: "Melancholy Flower．"She told the director about her project with Steve． The director agreed to add it to the playing list． But Naomi would have to ask Steve's permission． He considered it an honor． After the concert, Naomi told the family that Steve's music was beautiful and professional． It needed to be shared in public．The family rented a former church in downtown Portland and scheduled a concert． Bythe day of the show, more than 300 people had said they would attend．By then, Steve was having a hard time remembering the names of some of his friends． He knew the path his life was now taking． He told his family he was at peace．Steve arrived and sat in the front row, surrounded by his family． The house lights faded． Naomi took the stage．

characteristics，such as large brains and the ability to walk upright on two legs．The first unique human characteristic is that humans have extraordinarily large brains compared with other animals．It seems obvious that evolution should select for larger brains． Mammals（哺乳动物）weighing sixty kilograms have an average brain size of 200 cm3． Modern man has a brain averaging 1200﹣1400 cm3．We are so fond of our high intelligence that we assume that when it comes to brain power，more must be better． Unfortunately， that is not the case．The fact is that a huge brain is a huge drain﹣consumption of energy﹣on the body． It's not easy to carry around，especially when boxed inside a massive skull（颅骨）． It's even harder to provide energy． In modern man，the brain accounts for about 2﹣3% of total body weight， but it consumes 25% of the body's energy when the body is at rest． By comparison，the brains of apes （类人猿） require only 8% of rest﹣time energy． Early humans paid for their large brains in two ways． Firstly， they spent more time in search of food． Secondly，their muscles grew smaller and weaker． It's hardly an obvious conclusion that this is a good way to survive． A chimpanzee（黑猩猩）can't win an argument with a modern man，but it can tear the man apart like a rag doll．Another unique human characteristic is that we walk upright．Standing up，it's easier to find food or enemies． In addition，their arms that are unnecessary for moving around are freed for other purposes，like throwing stones or signaling．As a result，humans can perform very complex tasks with their hands．Yet walking upright has its disadvantage． The bone structure of our ancestors developed for millions of years to support a creature that walked on all fours and had a relatively small head． Adjusting to an upright position was quite a challenge，especially when the bones had to support an extra﹣large skull． Humankind paid for its broad vision and skillful hands with backaches and painful necks．We assume that a large brain makes huge advantages．It seems obvious that these have made humankind the most powerful animal on earth． But humans enjoyed all of these advantages for a full 2 million years during which they remained weak and marginal creatures． Thus humans who lived a million years ago， despite their big brains and sharpstone tools， lived in constant fear of meat﹣eating animals．22.

the event in traditional Chinese dress may open up several opportunities for interaction． The organizer can come up with several activities based on the attire itself， such as inviting the foreign

not troubled anyone before：he couldn't find the park's volcano．It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature﹣that's what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features．But Christiansen couldn't find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere．Most of us，when we talk about volcanoes，think of the classiccone（圆锥体）shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro，which are created when erupting magma （岩浆）piles up．These can form remarkably quickly．In 1943，a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land．In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high．Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across．Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth，all but a few hundred of them extinct．There is，however，a second less known type of volcano that doesn't involve mountain building．These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack，leaving behind a vast hole，the caldera．Yellowstone obviously was of this second type，but Christiansen couldn't find the caldera anywhere．Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high﹣altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone．A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow﹣up for one of the visitors' centers．As soon as Christiansen saw the photos，he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera：almost the whole park﹣22 million acres﹣was caldera．The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across﹣much too huge to be seenfrom anywhere at ground level．At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans．（1）What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone？A．Its complicated geographical features．B．Its ever﹣lasting influence on tourism．C．The mysterious history of the park．D．The exact location of the volcano．（2）What does the second paragraph mainly talk about？A．The shapes of volcanoes．B．The impacts of volcanoes．C．The activities of volcanoes．D．The heights of volcanoes．（3）What does the underlined word "blow﹣up" in the last paragraph most probably mean？A．Hot﹣air balloon．B．Digital camera．C．Big photograph．D．Bird's view．29．（8分）Who cares if people think wrongly that the internet has hadmore important influences than the washing machine？Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes？It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people's opinions．However，they have real impacts，as they result in misguided use of scarce resources．The fascination with the ICT （Information and Communication Technology）revolution，represented by the internet，has made some rich counties wrongly conclude that making things is so "yesterday" that they should try to live on ideas．This belief in "post﹣industrial society" has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector （制造业），with negative consequences for their economies．Even more worryingly，the fascination with the internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the "digital divide" between the rich countries and the poor countries．This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and internet facilities．The question，however，is whether this is what the developing countries need the most．Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells，extending electricity networks and making more affordablewashing machines would have improved people's lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up internet centres in rural villages．I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important，but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long﹣term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money．In yet another example，a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a"borderless world"．As a result，in the last twenty years or so，many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress，going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back．Believing in such a world，many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross﹣border flows of capital，labour and goods，with poor results．Understanding technological trends in very important for correctly designing economic policies，both at the national and the international levels，and for making the right career choices at the individual level．However，our fascination with the latest，and our under﹣valuation of what has already become common，can，and has，led us in all sorts of wrong directions．（1）Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to．A．a lack of confidence in technologyB．a slow progress in technologyC．a conflict of public opinionsD．a waste of limited resources（2）The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should．A．take people's essential needs into accountB．make their programmes attractive to peopleC．ensure that each child gets financial supportD．provide more affordable internet facilities（3）What has led many governments to remove necessary regulations？A．Neglecting the impacts of technological advances．B．Believing that the world has become borderless．C．Ignoring the power of economic development．D．Over﹣emphasizing the role of international communication．（4）What can we learn from the passage？A．People should be encouraged to make more donations．B．Traditional technology still has a place nowadays．C．Making right career choices is crucial to personal success．D．Economic policies should follow technological trends．30．（12分）The 65﹣year﹣old Steve Goodwin was found suffering from early Alzheimer's（阿尔兹海默症），He was losing his memory．A software engineer by profession，Steve was a keen lover of the piano，and the only musician in his family．Music was his true passion，though he had never performed outside the family．Melissa，his daughter，felt it more than worthwhile to save his music，to which she fell asleep each night when she was young．She thought about hiring a professional pianist to work with her father．Naomi，Melissa's best friend and a talented pianist，got to know about this and showed willingness to help．"Why do this？"Steve wondered．"Because she cares．"Melissa said．Steve nodded，tear in eye．Naomi drove to the Goodwin home she told Steve she'd love to hear him play．Steve moved to the piano and sat at the bench，hands trembling as he gently placed his fingers on the keys．Naomi put a small recorder near the piano．Starts and stops and mistakes．Long pauses，heart sinking．But Steve pressedon，playing for the first time in his life for a stranger．"It was beautiful，"Naomi said after listening to the recording．"The music was worth saving．"Her responsibility，her privilege，would be to rescue it．The music was still in Steve Goodwin．It was hidden in rooms with doors about to be locked．Naomi and Steve met every other week and spent hours together．He'd move his fingers clumsily on the piano，and then she'd take his place．He struggled to explain what he heard in his head．He stood by the piano，eyes closed，listening for the first time to his own work being played by someone else．Steve and Naomi spoke in

characteristics，such as large brains and the ability to walk upright on two legs．The first unique human characteristic is that humans have extraordinarily large brains compared with other animals．It seems obvious that evolution should select for larger brains．Mammals（哺乳动物）weighing sixty kilograms have an average brain size of 200 cm3．Modern man has a brain averaging 1200﹣1400 cm3．We are so fond of our high intelligence that we assume that when it comes to brain power，more must be better．Unfortunately，that is not the case．The fact is that a huge brain is a huge drain﹣consumption of energy﹣on the body．It's not easy to carry around，especially when boxed inside a massive skull（颅骨）．It's even harder to provide energy．In modern man，the brain accounts for about 2﹣3% of total body weight，but it consumes 25% of the body's energy when the body is at rest．By comparison，the brains of apes （类人猿）require only 8% of rest﹣time energy．Early humans paid for their large brains in two ways．Firstly，they spent more time in search of food．Secondly，their muscles grew smaller and weaker．It's hardly an obvious conclusion that this is a good way to survive．A chimpanzee（黑猩猩）can't win an argument with a modern man，but it can tear the man apart like a rag doll．Another unique human characteristic is that we walk upright．Standing up，it's easier to find food or enemies．In addition，their arms that are unnecessary for moving around are freed for other purposes，like throwing stones or signaling．As a result，humans can perform very complex tasks with their hands．Yet walking upright has its disadvantage．The bone structure of our ancestors developed for millions of years to support a creature that walked on all fours and had a relatively small head．Adjusting to an upright position was quite a challenge，especially when the bones had to support an extra﹣large skull．Humankind paid for its broad vision and skillful hands with backaches and painful necks．We assume that a large brain makes huge advantages．It seems obvious that these have made humankind the most powerful animal on earth．But humans enjoyed all of these advantages for a full 2 million years during which they remained weak and marginal creatures．Thus humans who lived a million years ago，despite their big brains and sharp stone tools，lived in constant fear of meat﹣eating animals．The Cost of

They’re really t errible, but they occur somewhat often, and this is why you see so many charities these days which focus their efforts on helping people who have been affected by natural disasters.While the world is a very beautiful place to live in, there will always be parts of the world where natural disasters happen more often than in other places, where properties and lives are destroyed. Only the people who live in the country where tsunamis and earthquakes as well as other disasters occur experience these, and we can only imagine the suffering that they go through.For some people out there, the world is cruel, but they have no choice but to stay where they are. A lot of the time people simply cannot afford to move away, as they might not be able to find a job when they leave.In 2004, there was a tsunami in the Indian Ocean. A tsunami is a large wave that towers hundreds of feet into the air, and covers whole areas when it comes crashing down on to dry land. This particular tsunami was caused by an earthquake that happened in the middle of the sea, shooting the water away from the ground and towards dry land. This tsunami actually reached thirty meters in height, and was one of the worst tidal waves the world has ever seen. Over 200,000 people were hurt in the disaster.In 2005, we also saw a hurricane happened in the United States. This hurricane was known as hurricane Katrina, and is perhaps the worst in the history of the world. It happened in 2005 and destroyed millions of properties in the area. It also cost nearly 2,000 American people their lives. It was known that for ten days, the wind swept through the area, meaning the most powerful country in the world became helpless in their attempts to save the people who were affected by the hurricane.Finally, in 2008 we saw yet another natural disaster. This time it was a cyclone (旋风), which is similar to a hurricane but happens in a circular motion (圆周运动). This cyclone Nargis had been one of the strongest to have ever occurred, reaching a death toll of nearly 150,000 people.All of these were typical examples of terrible disasters that couldn’t be avoided.Title: Forces of Nature答案：71. like /including 72. destruction 73. suffering 74. available / found 75.

Do you say yes to the world? Most of us have a habit of going through our days saying no to the things we don't like and yes to the things we do, and yet, everything we face is our life. We won't say yes to the things we do not like, because we fear that we will not remove them forever.But in fact, it is only through accepting the existence of what's not working for us that we can begin the process of change. When we say yes to the world, we enter into a state of trust that whatever our situation is, we can work with it. We express belief in ourselves, and the world, and we also express a willingness to learn from whatever happens to us, rather than running and hiding when we don't like what we see. Therefore, in one word, saying yes is definitely good for our life.The question we might ask ourselves is what it will take for us to get to the point of saying yes. For some of us, it takes dealing with something we can't escape or refuse, and so we are left with no choice but to say yes. For others, it just seems a natural process of events that leads us to make the decision to say yes to life. Saying yes to life might be difficult at first, and even painful at times, but if we continue to say yes to every moment through the process, it will be far less difficult in the end.

It’s a good moment to reflect on what else we should be giving our kids as they head off to school.American parents are feeling particularly anxious about that question this year. The educational process feels more than ever like a race, one that starts in pre-preschool and doesn’t end until your child is admitted to the perfect college. Most parents are more worried than they need to be about their c hildren’s grades, test scores and IQ. And what we don’t think about enough is howto help our children build their character—how to help them develop skills like perseverance, grit, optimism, conscientiousness, and self-control, which together do more to determine success than scores or I.Q.There is growing evidence that our anxiety about our children’s school performance may actuallybe holding them back from learning some of these valuable skills. If you’re concerned only with a child’s , then you will likely choose to minimize the challenges the child faces in school. With real challenge comes the risk of real failure. And in a competitive academic environment, the idea of failure can be very scary, to students and parents alike.But experiencing failure is a critical part of building character. Recent research by a team of psychologists found that adults who had experienced little or no failure growing up were actually less happy and confident than those who had experienced a few significant setbacks in childhood. “Overcoming those obstacles,” the researchers assumed, “could teach effective coping skills, help engage social support networks, create a sense of mastery over past adversity, and foster beliefsin the ability to cope successfully in the futur e.”By contrast, when we protect our children from every possible failure—when we call their teachers to get an extension on a paper; when we urge them to choose only those subjectsthey’re good at—we are denying them those same character-building experiences. As the psychologists Madeline Levine and Dan Kindlon have written, that can lead to difficulties in adolescence and young adulthood, when overprotected young people finally confront real problems on their own and don’t know how to overcome them.In the classroom and outside of it, American parents need to encourage children to take chances, to challenge themselves, to risk failure. In the meantime, giving our kids room to fail may be one of the best ways we can help them succeed.Back to School: Why Grit Is More Important than Good Grades?Common phenomena ◆Parents throughout America(76) ▲t heir kids’ backpacks up with snacks and school supplies.◆Many American parents don’t(77) ▲enough importance to their kids’ character building.The writer’s(78) ▲◆Parents should pay more attention to their kids’ character building.Evidence and (79) ▲findings◆Parents’ anxiety about their kids’ performance may(80) ▲them from learning some valuable skills.◆Parents concerned only with a kid’s have a (81) ▲to minimize the challenges the child faces.◆Adults who have experienced a few significant setbacks in childhood are (82) ▲and more confident than those who haven’t.◆Denying kids character-building experiences can(83) ▲in difficulties in adolescence and young adulthood.The writer’s suggestions ◆(84) ▲kids to be risk-takers.◆Give kids room to experience(85) ▲.答案解析：76. load 77.attach 78.view/opinion 79.research 80.discourage/prevent/hinder/stop/keep 81.tendency 82.happier 83.result 84.Encourage 85.failure(s)7、安徽师大附中、安庆一中2013届高三联考第一节：任务型读写.(每空1分,共10分)阅读下列短文, 并根据内容在文章后表格中旳空格里填入一个最恰当旳单词·注意: 每个空格只填1个单词·Parents are responsible for naming your baby. Psychologists find that if people are happy with their na mes, they’ll be happy with themselves. Time spent considering the most fitting and pleasant name for your baby is time well spent.1. Consider your last name when selecting a given name for your baby. The name should combine, visually and vocally, with your family name. A short first name with a short last name may sound less agreeable to the ear. If you have a short surname such as Smith, Brown, or Hill, perhaps you’d choose a longer first name. Thus, John Westermore and Meredith Brown.2. Select a first name which is different from your surname. It is best not to use names which run together when spoken, as in Ralph Forbes or Sheri Yeets. If these names are spoken rapidly, the distinctive sounds of the separate names disappear.3. Watch out for the spelling. An unusual change in the spelling of a name may cause some trouble for your child, as in Jyssica spelled with a “y” instead of an “e”.4. Take care before giving your child a unisex name. There is a growing trend toward giving children names like Alex, Toby, Page, Kelly, and Jamie, names that can be used by girls or boys. Ingeneral, giving a girl a unisex name may not cause a problem, but giving a boy such a name may.A boy named Shirley or Carroll is likely to suffer teasing.To sum up, the best name for your baby is one that you love and feel your child will be happy with.

Merely by altering your wording and your attitude, you can help someone grow as opposed to making them feel defeated.Phrases like "You're wrong!" and "Your presentation was terrible!" have no place in effective criticism. In fact, it's best to leave the word "you" out, if at all possible. Personal attacks make people feel defensive, and then they won't really listen to anything you have to say.Before starting with the criticism, warm the person up with compliments(恭维). If you are discussing their work, find several things you truly like about what they have done. For example, "I enjoyed your presentation today. You presented a lot of good and helpful information in it, and I can tell you put a lot of effort into it. I appreciate your hard work." This will lower their defenses and make them feel appreciated.However, a short, vague compliment fo llowed by “but” such as "It was a helpful talk, but you really need to improve your presentation skills" won’t do much to help the process. After you've shared your compliments, allow them time to be absorbed. Immediately following your compliment with a "but" will destroy all you've tried to accomplish by making your praise seem false and insincere.Remember that the goal of constructive criticism isn't to make the person feel terrible; it's to help them grow. Instead of directly accusing the person, try to get the message through to them in the form of light-hearted advice. Phrases like, "Next time you might want to ? or "I find it helpful to ? can take away the blame while still leaving an impact: "Next time you might want to give a little more attention to the audience. I find it helpful to look people in the eyes while I am speaking."People can't change overnight, especially if they don't get detailed direction. Simply saying "you need to work on your presentation skills" won't help a soul! Be detailed in your advice, and don't overload anyone with criticism. Remember, you want them to keep trying and improving. Don't leave them feeling defeated!Title :How to give (71)▲without offending anyone in English[答案]71. criticism 72. grow 73.

Asthma(哮喘) is a long-lasting breathing disease that affects millions of Americans, many of whom are children. People who get asthma will suffer from lack of breath, difficulty in breathing or coughing--which are caused by the tightening of the muscles in airways. Untreated asthma can lead to poor lung function and death,but asthma can also be effectively controlled with proper treatments.Researchisdiscovering genes that contribute to the development of asthma.This development has pointed researchers to the role of indoor and outdoor pollution as environmental factors that contribute to the increased occurrence of asthma.The Indoor PollutionIndoor pollution has increased with the developments in building materials and in heating and air conditioning systems. In addition to poisonous gases that come from paint, other materials like dust and perfumes used in household products such as washing powder are recycled continuously through the house,winter and summer.Unlike the days before central heating or before whole-house air conditioning,these materials and chemicals cannot get out of modern homes. Most often, they cause breathing problems in the members of the family with the least-developed autoimmune(自身免疫的) systems. Proper venting (通风) and use of environmentally-friendly building materials and carpeting can help reduce the presence of these chemicals.The Out door pollutionResearchers have also established outdoor pollution's role as a probable cause of asthma. Asthma has been provento result from some fuel products. Smog and the small matters carried by it have been recognized as a factor which leads to asthma since the 19th century when London saw more and more diseases in the industrial population. Industrial pollutants and other chemicals which are produced in water treatment and open treated water like that found in the swimming pools also contribute to increased cases of asthma as well as other illnesses.Those most affected by the increase of industrial and environmental pollution are children.Although much has been done to control the levels of pollution in the US,there still remains much to do as it is a worldwide phenomenon. Until an international effort can be made to limit carbon emissions, the occurrence of environmental asthma will probably continue to increase.第四部分任务性阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

Park，Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that，oddly，had not troubled anyone before：he couldn't find the park's volcano．It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature﹣that's what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features．But Christiansen couldn't find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere．Most of us，when we talk about volcanoes，think of the classic cone（圆锥体）shapes ofa Fuji or Kilimanjaro，which are created when erupting magma （岩浆）piles up．These canform remarkably quickly．In 1943，a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land．In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high．Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across．Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth，all buta few hundred of them extinct．There is，however，a second less known type of volcano thatdoesn't involve mountain building．These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack，leaving behind a vast hole，the caldera．Yellowstone obviously was of this second type，but Christiansen couldn't find the caldera anywhere．Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high﹣altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone．A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow﹣up for one of the visitors' centers．As soon as Christiansen saw the photos，he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera：almost the whole park﹣22 million acres﹣was caldera．The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across﹣much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level．At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans．（1）What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone？A．Its complicated geographical features．B．Its ever﹣lasting influence on tourism．C．The mysterious history of the park．D．The exact location of the volcano．（2）What does the second paragraph mainly talk about？A．The shapes of volcanoes．B．The impacts of volcanoes．C．The activities of volcanoes．D．The heights of volcanoes．（3）What does the underlined word "blow﹣up" in the last paragraph most probably mean？A．Hot﹣air balloon．B．Digital camera．C．Big photograph．D．Bird's view．29．（8分）Who cares if people think wrongly that the internet has had more important influences than the washing machine？Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes？It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people's opinions，However，they have real impacts，as they result in misguided use of scarce resources．The fascination with the ICT （Information and Communication Technology）revolution，represented by the internet，has made some rich counties wrongly conclude that making things is so "yesterday" that they should try to live on ideas．This belief in "post﹣industrial society" has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector （制造业），with negative consequences for their economies．Even more worryingly，the fascination with the internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the "digital divide" between the rich countries and the poor countries．This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and internet facilities．The question，however，is whether this is what the developing countries need the most．Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells，extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people's lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up internet centres in rural villages．I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important，but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long﹣term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money．In yet another example，a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a"borderless world"．As a result，in the last twenty years or so，many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress，going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back．Believing in such a world，many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross﹣border flows of capital，labour and goods，with poor results．Understanding technological trends in very important for correctly designing economic policies，both at the national and the international levels，and for making the right career choices at the individual level．However，our fascination with the latest，and our under ﹣valuation of what has already become common，can，and has，led us in all sorts of wrongdirections．（1）Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to．A．a lack of confidence in technologyB．a slow progress in technologyC．a conflict of public opinionsD．a waste of limited resources（2）The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should．A．take people's essential needs into accountB．make their programmes attractive to peopleC．ensure that each child gets financial supportD．provide more affordable internet facilities（3）What has led many governments to remove necessary regulations？A．Neglecting the impacts of technological advances．B．Believing that the world has become borderless．C．Ignoring the power of economic development．D．Over﹣emphasizing the role of international communication．（4）What can we learn from the passage？A．People should be encouraged to make more donations．B．Traditional technology still has a place nowadays．C．Making right career choices is crucial to personal success．D．Economic policies should follow technological trends．30．（12分）The 65﹣year﹣old Steve Goodwin was found suffering from early Alzheimer's（阿尔兹海默症），He was losing his memory．A software engineer by profession，Steve was a keen lover of the piano，and the onlymusician in his family．Music was his true passion，though be had never performed outside the family．Melissa，his daughter，felt it more than worthwhile to save his music，to which she fell asleep each night when she was young．She thought about hiring a professional pianist to work with her father．Naomi，Melissa's best friend and a talented pianist，got to know about this and showed willingness to help．"Why do this？"Steve wondered．"Because she cares．"Melissa said．Steve nodded，tear in eye．Naomi drove to the Goodwin home she told Steve she'd love to hear him play．Steve moved to the piano and sat at the bench，hands trembling as he gently placed his fingers on the keys．Naomi put a small recorder near the piano．Starts and stops and mistakes．Long pauses，heart sinking．But Steve pressed on，playing for the first time in his life for a stranger．"It was beautiful，"Naomi said after listening to the recording．"The music was worth saving．"Her responsibility，her privilege，would be to rescue it．The music was still in Steve Goodwin．It was bidden in rooms with doors about to be locked．Naomi and Steve met every other week and spent hours together．He'd move his fingers clumsily on the piano，and then she'd take his place．He struggled to explain what he heard in his head．He stood by the piano，eyes closed，listening for the first time to his own work being played by someone else．Steve and Naomi spoke in musical code：lines，beats，intervals，moving from the root to end a song in a new key．Steve heard it．All of it．He just couldn't play it．Working with Naomi did wonders for Steve．It had excited within him the belief he could write one last song．One day，Naomi received an email．Attached was a recording，a recording of loss and love，of the fight．Steve called it"Melancholy Flower．"Naomi heard multiple stops and starts，Steve struggling，searching while his wife Joni called him"honey"and encouraged him．The task was so hard，and Steve，angry and upset，said he was quitting．Joni praised him，telling her husband this could be his signature piece．Naomi managed to figure out 16 of Steve's favorite，and most personal，songs．With Naomi's help，the Goodwin family found a sound engineer to record Naomi playing Steve's gongs．Joni thought that would be the end．But it wasn't．In the months leading up to the 2016 Oregon Repertory Singers Christmas concert，Naomi told the director she had a special one in mind："Melancholy Flower．"She told the director about her project with Steve．The director agreed to add it to the playing list．But Naomi would have to ask Steve's permission．He considered it an honor．After the concert，Naomi told the family that Steve's music was beautiful and professional．It needed to be shared in public．The family rented a former church in downtown Portland and scheduled a concert．By the day of the show，more than 300 people had said they would attend．By then，Steve was having a hard time remembering the names of some of his friends．He knew the path his life was now taking．He told his family he was at peace．Steve arrived and sat in the front row，surrounded by his family．The house lights faded．Naomi took the stage．Her fingers．His heart．（1）Why did Melissa want to save her father's music？A．His music could stop his disease from worsening．B．She wanted to please her dying old father．C．His music deserved to be preserved in the family．D．She wanted to make her father a professional．（2）After hearing Steve's playing，Naomi．A．refused to make a comment on itB．was deeply impressed by his musicC．decided to free Steve from sufferingD．regretted offering help to her friend（3）How can the process of Steve's recording be described？A．It was

characteristics，such as large brains and the ability to walk upright on two legs．The first unique human characteristic is that humans have extraordinarily large brains compared with other animals．It seems obvious that evolution should select for larger brains．Mammals（哺乳动物）weighing sixty kilograms have an average brain size of 200 cm3．Modern man has a brain averaging 1200﹣1400 cm3．We are so fond of our high intelligence that we assume that when it comes to brain power，more must be better．Unfortunately，that is not the case．The fact is that a huge brain is a huge drain﹣consumption of energy﹣on the body．It's not easy to carry around，especially when boxed inside a massive skull（颅骨）．It's even harder to provide energy．In modern man，the brain accounts for about 2﹣3% of total body weight，but it consumes 25% of the body's energy when the body is at rest．By comparison，the brains of apes （类人猿）require only 8% of rest﹣time energy．Early humans paid fortheir large brains in two ways．Firstly，they spent more time in search of food．Secondly，their muscles grew smaller and weaker．It's hardly an obvious conclusion that this is a good way to survive．A chimpanzee（黑猩猩）can't win an argument with a modern man，but it can tear the man apart like a rag doll．Another unique human characteristic is that we walk upright．Standing up，it's easier to find food or enemies．In addition，their arms that are unnecessary for moving around are freed for other purposes，like throwing stones or signaling．As a result，humans can perform very complex tasks with their hands．Yet walking upright has its disadvantage．The bone structure of our ancestors developed for millions of years to support a creature that walked on all fours and had a relatively small head．Adjusting to an upright position was quite a challenge，especially when the bones had to support an extra﹣large skull．Humankind paid for its broad vision and skillful hands with backaches and painful necks．We assume that a large brain makes huge advantages．It seems obvious that these have made humankind the most powerful animal on earth．But humans enjoyed all of these advantages for a full 2 million years during which they remained weak and marginal creatures．Thus humans who lived a million years ago，despite their big brains and sharp stone tools，lived in constant fear of meat﹣eating animals．The Cost of
