(1)证明设x 2>x 1>0,则x 2-x 1>0,x 1x 2>0,∵f (x 2)-f (x 1)=(1a -1x 2)-(1a -1x 1)=1x 1-1x 2=x 2-x 1x 1x 2>0,∴f (x 2)>f (x 1),∴f (x )在(0,+∞)上是增函数. (2)解∵f (x )在[12,2]上的值域是[12,2],又f (x )在[12,2]上单调递增,∴f (12)=12,f (2)=2.易得a =25.19. 解(1)∵f (x )是周期为2的奇函数,∴f (1)=f (1-2)=f (-1)=-f (1),∴f (1)=0,f (-1)=0. (2)由题意知,f (0)=0. 当x ∈(-1,0)时,-x ∈(0,1).由f (x )是奇函数,∴f (x )=-f (-x )=-2-x4-x +1=-2x4x +1,综上,在[-1, 1]上,f (x )=2x4x +1,x ∈(0,1),-2x 4x+1,x ∈(-1,0),0,x ∈{-1,0,1}.20.解 (1)当a =-2时,f (x )=x 2-4x +3=(x -2)2-1,∵x ∈[-4,6],∴f (x )在[-4,2]上单调递减,在[2,6]上单调递增,∴f (x )的最小值是f (2)=-1,又f (-4)=35,f (6)=15,故f (x )的最大值是35. (2)∵函数f (x )的图像开口向上,对称轴是x =-a ,∴要使f (x )在[-4,6]上是单调函数,应有-a ≤-4或-a ≥6,即a ≤-6或a ≥4. (3)当a =1时,f (x )=x 2+2x +3,∴f (|x |)=x 2+2|x |+3,此时定义域为x ∈[-6,6],且f (x )=?x 2+2x +3,x ∈(0,6],x 2-2x +3,x ∈[-6,0],∴f (|x |)的单调递增区间是(0, 6],单调递减区间是[-6,0].21.解 (1)可判定点(2,-6)在曲线y =f (x )上.∵f ′(x )=(x 3+x -16)′=3x 2+1.∴f ′(x )在点(2,-6)处的切线的斜率为k =f ′(2)=13. ∴切线的方程为y =13(x -2)+(-6),即y =13x -32.(2)法一设切点为(x 0,y 0),则直线l 的斜率为f ′(x 0)=3x 20+1,∴直线l 的方程为y =(3x 20+1)(x -x 0)+x 30+x 0-16,又∵直线l 过点(0,0),∴0=(3x 20+1)(-x 0)+x 30+x 0-16,整理得,x 30=-8,∴x 0=-2,∴y 0=(-2)3+(-2)-16=-26,k =3×(-2)2+1=13. ∴直线l 的方程为y =13x ,切点坐标为(-2,-26.) 法二设直线l 的方程为y =kx ,切点为(x 0,y 0),则k=y0-0x0-0=x30+x0-16x0又∵k=f′(x0)=3x20+1,∴x30+x0-16x0=3x2+1,解之得x0=-2,∴y0=(-2) 3+(-2)-16=-26,k=3×(-2)2+1=13.∴直线l的方程为y=13x,切点坐标为(-2,-26).22.解(1)f′(x)=3x2-3a=3(x2-a),当a<0时,对x∈R,有f′(x)>0,∴当a<0时,f(x)的单调增区间为(-∞,+∞).当a>0时,由f′(x)>0,解得x<-a或x>a.由f′(x)<0,解得-a<x<a,< p="">∴当a>0时,f(x)的单调增区间为(-∞,-a),(a,+∞),单调减区间为(-a,a).(2)∵f(x)在x=-1处取得极值,∴f′(-1)=3×(-1)2-3a=0,∴a=1.∴f(x)=x3-3x-1,f′(x)=3x2-3,由f′(x)=0,解得x1=-1,x2=1.由(1)中f(x)的单调性可知,f(x)在x=-1处取得极大值f(-1)=1,在x=1处取得极小值f(1)=-3.∵直线y=m与函数y=f(x)的图像有三个不同的交点,结合如图所示f(x)的图像可知:实数m的取值范围是(-3,1).</x<a,<>。

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.(A)Valuable By-Products of Space ResearchResearch that went into developing the highly specialized technology for space travel has resulted in many unexpected 21 applications back on earth. Out of the engineering that produced rocket motor, space suits, and other necessities of space flight came by products that no one had anticipated. Equipment and 22 designed for use in medicine, industry, and the home, these valuable by products of space research, called spin offs, have improved the quality of life on earth in many ways.Some of the best-known examples of spin-offs from space research are found in hospitals and doctors' offices. One such example is the sight switch, which was originally developed to allow astronauts to control their spacecraft without using their hands. It is now used by 23 people to operate devices using eye movements.Doctors have also benefited from the technology required to make electronic instruments small enough and durable enough for trips into space. From this technology have come hearing aids the size of an aspirin and television cameras small enough to be 24 to a surgeon's head to give medical students a close-up view of an operation.Biotelemetry, which was developed to 25 the physical signs of astronauts by checking their temperature, brain-wave activity, breathing rate, and heartbeat, offers doctors a new means of monitoring hospital patients. Biosensors attached to the body send data by wire or radio. This information is displayed on 26 for doctors to analyze.One of the most valuable 27 of aerospace technology to industry is a management technique called the systems approach. With the aid of computers, this technique brings together all the elements of a complex project, including people, money, and materials, to assure that everything is completed at the optimum time. It has been applied to a variety of situations 28 to space exploration. Among them are cancer research, hospital design, city planning, crime detection, pollution control, building construction, and transportation.The experience gained from developing NASA spacesuits was applied to the process of designing clothing for use in other 29 . Firefighters now have lighter and special fire blocking materials that are more 30 to cracking and burning. Spacers used for cushioning in moon boots were adapted for use in athletic shoes that are designed to reduce fatigue and injury.(B)If your parents take out a loan, remind them to make the payments on time. Otherwise it will become a(n) 31 record in their personal credit reports, which are playing a(n) 32 big role in people's daily lives. A story carried by Chongqing Morning Post in June, 33 this trend.According to the report, a Chongqing student borrowed money from the bank to 34 his university studies. After he graduated in 2005, he went to work in Shenzhen. Later, he wanted to buy a house using loans. But several banks turned down his loan 35 . The reason was that he had not paid back 1,500 yuan he borrowed from a bank when he was at university.A personal credit rating is becoming a(n) 36 “pass” in everyday life, as China establishes a nationwide credit database. Personal credit systems go back 150 years. In developed countries, enterprises and banks use them to decide whether or not to loan money or do other business with a person.A credit report 37 the credit worthiness of an individual, a company, or even a country. It is a(n)38 made by credit bureaus of a borrower's overall credit history and his or her ability to repay debt. A poor credit rating means a high risk of defaulting on a loan, and thus leads to the 39 of a loan by the lender.Today in China, credit history in banks is the major 40 of a credit report. But in the future, reports will include information about the payment of telephone bills, water use fees, electricity and natural gas bills, and taxes, according to officials of the People's Bank of China, the central bank.The secrets of long lifeA long healthy life is no accident. It begins with good genes, but it also depends on good ___41___. So what’s the formula for success? In a recent study, scientists have focused on groups living in several refions where exceptional longevity is the norm: Sardinia, Italy, Loma Linda, California, and the islands of Okinawa, Japan.SardiniansWhy do they live so long? __42__ is part of the answer. By 11 a.m. Tonino has already milked four cows, chopped wood and walked four miles with his sheep. Now, taking the day’s first break, he gathers his grown children, grandson, around the kitchen table. Giovanna, his wife, unties a handkerchief containing a paper-thin flatbread called carta da musica, pours some red wine, and cut slices of homemade cheese.These Sardinians also benefit from their __43__ history. According to Paolo Francalacci of the University of Sassari, 80 percent of them are __44__the first Sardinians, who arrived in the area 11,000 years ago. Genetic traits made stronger over generations may favor longevity. __45__, too, is a factor.The Sardinians diet is loaded with fruits and vegetables, milk and milk products, fish and wine. Most of these items are homegrown.AdventistsThe study found that the Ad ventists’ habit of consuming beans, soy milk, tomatoes, and other fruits __46__their risk of developing certain cancers. It also suggested that eating whole wheat bread, drinking five glasses of water a day, and, most __47__, consuming four servings of nuts a week reduced their risk of heart disease. And it found that not eating red meat had been helpful in avoiding both cancer and heart disease.OkinawansThe first thing you notice about Ushi Okushima is her __48__. It fills the room with pure joy. This rainy afternoon she sits comfortably wrapped in a blue kimono. Her thick hair is combed back from her suntanned face, revealing alert green, eyes. Not long ago, she started wearing perfume. When asked about the perfume, she __49__that she has a new boyfriend.__50__behavior for a young woman, perhaps, but Ushi is 103.With an average life expectancy of 78 years for men and 86 years for women, Okinawans are among the world’s longest lived people. This is undoubtedly due in part to Okinawans warm and __51__ climate and scenic beauty. Senior citizens living in these islands tend to enjoy years __52__disabilities. Okinawans have very low rates of cancer and heart disease compared to American seniors.A lean diet of food grown on the island and a philosophy of __53__--- may also be a factor. “eat until your stomach is80 percent full.” may also be factors. Ironically, this healthy way of eating was born of __54__.Ushi Okushima grew up barefoot and poor, her family grew sweet potatoes, which formed the core of every meal. During World War II, when the men of the island joined the army, Ushi and her friend Setsuko fled to the center of the island with their children. “We __55__ terrible hunger,” Setsuko re calls.(B)In today's American society, background checks have become a routine part of hiring process. Employers use them to assess ___56____ workers, judging whether they are qualified for the posts. Through background checks, employers can also make sure that the information applicants provide is ____57___, which suggests the applicants' moral quality.Then what do background checks investigate? Many ____58___ a review of the employee's___59____ history trying to confirm whether the employee has ever been fired or forced to resign. Employers also pay attention to the length of unemployment, afraid that long-time absence from___60____ may bring negative influence to the employee's performance. Sometimes, an applicant's residential history is also an issue. Jobs with state or local governments often require that the employee live in certain areas, ___61____the chances for them to have contact with ill-intentioned people. Besides, living near the work place is always ___62____as it saves time and fares on transportation. Another item which can't be ____63___ is the applicant's criminal history --- whether he has ever been arrested or put into prison. Although __64__ offences like traffic ticketing or queue jumping are usually pardoned, breaking a criminal law is rarely spared and, in most cases, is sure to result in the____65___ of the employment. Then comes the social history. A background check that involves the applicant's social history is generally needed for government posts or employment in finance and law industries that require greater self-dicipline. A small mistake in these ____66___ may result in huge loss. The investigation usually checks drug use, family relationships and social contacts, in order to avoid ___67____someone unsuitable for the posts. Background investigators who look into social history may interview neighbors and professional references recognized by the applicant.Finally in the field of education background, an application form may ask for copies of licenses or university diplomas to show the applicant's __68__ performances. In many instances, an education background check is so particular about ____69___ that investigators even confirm the date on which the employee earned his degree to determine if it ___70____ the information the employee provided on his application.56.

A.refers to B.agrees with C.keeps up D.brings aboutBiology may not be everything, but genes apparently have a far greater influence on human behavior than is commonly thought. Similarities ranging from hobbies to bodily gesture are being found in pairs separated at birth. Many of these behaviors are “things you would never think of looking at if you were going to study the genetics of behavior,” says psychologist Thomas J. Bouchard, Jr. , director of the Minnesota Center for Twin and Adoption Research at the University of Minnesota.Bouchard reports that so far, exhaustive psychological tests and questionnaires have been completed with approximately 50 pairs of identical twins reared apart, 25pairs of fraternal twins reared apart and comparison groups of twins reared together. “We were amazed at the similarity in posture and expressive style,” says Bouchard. “It’s probably the feature of the st udy that’s grabbed us the most.” Twins tend to have similar mannerisms, gestures, speed and tempo in talking, habits and jokes. Many of the twins dressed in similar fashion--one male pair who had never previously met arrived in England sporting identical beards, haircuts, glasses and shirts.The most striking example of common psychopathology(精神病理学),however, came from a pair of twinsraised apart. One had been reared by his own(poor) family the other had been adopted into a “good solid upper-middle-class family.”Both are now considered to be antisocial personalities, suffering from lack of impulse co ntrol, and both have criminal histories. Although the twins share, on average, 50 percent ot their genes, Bouchard suggests that the overlap is probably considerably more with this pair.Personality similarities between the identical twins raised apart are almost the same as they are with identical twins raised together, according to the results of a test developed by University of Minnesota psychologist Auke Tellegen. His personality questionnaire contains scales such as “social closeness,””harm avoidance”and”well-being.”The researchers were especially surprised to find that”traditionalism”--a trait implying conservatism and respect for authority--can be inherited. In fact, says Bouchard, his and other studies have found about 11 personality traits that appear to have significant genetic input.Overall, the emerging findings of the Minnesota study constitute a powerful disproof of those who maintain that environmental influences are the primary shaping forces of personality. The textbooks are going to have to be rewritten, Bouchard predicts.80.Why does Bouchard say these behaviors are “things you would never think of looking at if you were going to study the genetics of behavior?”A. These behaviors seemed too unimportant for scientists to observe.B. These behaviors seemed too intimate to allow scientists to observe them.C. Psychologists assumed these external characteristics could not be biologically based.D. Psychologists assumed the causes of these behaviors were too complicated for current methods of observations.81.The word “identical”(in para.3) most probably means________.A. fashionableB. alikeC. complexD. identified82.According to the passage, Auke Tellegen agrees that _______________.A.some textbooks on genes and behavior will be rewritten quite soon.B.people’s behaviors and personalities depend at large on their genesC.his personality questionnaire can indicate people’s 11 personality traitsD.the environmental influences have great effect on peopl e’s personalities81.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.Twins generally share the same hobbies and gestures if they are raised apart.B.Genes have a greater influence on human behavior than is commonly thought.C.People from upper-middle-class family are the same as those from poor family.D.Twins tend to dress in similar fashion even when brought up in different families.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used onlySports stars have a natural advantageScientists have identified the clear biological advantages that give the world’s sporting champions a head start in life before they have even begun their rigorous training programmes.The coach for the French Olympic team says:” we measure special attributes between the ages of 16 and 18. But only one in 10,000 people has the physical aspects needed to compete at the very top level in sporting events. _82____ . We take into account the height, strength and endurance of a person. We also regard mental application as important, how an individual reacts when the competition gets really tough.”Scientists say that medical evidence is playing an increasingly important role in the selection of athletes. A study of the 40-year dominance of Kenyan runners in long distance athletic events has revealed that 45 percent of them come from the Nandi tribe. What is remarkable is that this tribe makes up only 3 percent of the Kenyan population.__83_____. Athletic organizations consider these genetic factors a good indicator when selecting sthletes to produce superior running performances.__84____. For example, David Beckham’s bandy legs have been partly credited with helping to put a spin on the football when he takes a free kick for England. Other biological characteristics are more measurable. The Americantennis player, Andy Roddick, has the fastest serve in the game. He is able to arch his back so much that it increases the rotation of his arm to 130 degrees. This is 44 percent better than the average professional player and this allows them to drive the ball over the net at 240 kilometers per hour. Michael Phelps, the 14-times Olympic swimming champion has over-sized feet which act like flippers to propel him through the water.__85_____. Mia Hamm, probably the best all-round woman footballer in the world, produces less than one liter of sweat an hour when doing vigorous exercise, which is half the human average. When it comes to speed, take the example of woman racing driver, Liz Halliday. A normal person would take 300 milliseconds to make a reactive decision. She can do it in 260 milliseconds. It may not sound much quicker but at top race speeds, this makes a difference of three car lengths.The difference between success and failure is very small and all these biological factors are crucial in finding future champions.Hitting the right buttonIt has been found that in some countries,achievement in some subjects at school is not always good for boys as it is girls.It is possible that using computers may be a way to solve this problem.Many boys seem to have a natural liking for computers,but it can often be hard to leave the screen and concentrate on the work the teacher wants them to do.As computers are becoming more and more important in the world of education today,it is natural to assume that computers can help greatly with boys who do not do too well at school and need to raise their general educational standards.Many boys appear to be more confident than girls in using it.and they need to use computers more frequently ,especially at home.Researchers at universities now think that it could be a really good way of re-engaging under-achieving boys in the learning process,and teachers have indicated that it does work.They have found that,although lots of boys do not seem to like writing in the classroom,when they use a computer they are more wiling to compose longer pieces of writing and use different styles.The issue of unintelligible handwriting is no longer a problem,either,as the neatness and presentation standards rise when boys use a computer to print out their work.Many boys welcome the “hands on” approach of computer,However,researchers and teachers need to be careful th at boys don’t just “cut and paste”things that they have found on the internet, but haven’t read,and hand it in as a completed assignment.Some boys overestimate how good they are and think they can do things without any effort.They need to develop proper research skills and make their written work more structured.Other boys take short cuts,or look at internet sites they haven’t been asked to look at.They may not plan or think carefully about their work,or they may try to finish their work quickly.This tendency is not going to be completely cured by using computers.One way to get boys to concentrate properly on the work they have been asked to do may be to encourage them to use their computers at home.However,they also need to be set tasks that are interesting and relevant to them.As in all things,the interaction between the pupil,the teacher and the computer is crucial.Translation:1.你知道如何给别人留下美好的印象吗?(leave)2.知道那时我才意识到我也许是最后知道这件事的人。

AAs a nation of animal lovers, Britain has been rocked by a study that at least ten million pets suffer mental or physical stress.Two million dogs are left alone daily for longer than recommended and 750,000 rabbits are fed too little grass, at least three million dogs and cats have never been vaccinated(接种疫苗), the research indicates. Shocked animal welfare campaigners are calling on owners to give their pets urgent attention.A spokesman for animal charity said, “We know that owners love their pets, but many do not understand what their pets need.”The charity’s survey is the first to measure the well-being of Britain’s 12 million cats, eight million dogs and 1.7 million pet rabbits. It found that five million cats, four million dogs and more than 700000 rabbits would be suffering mental or physical stress because their owners do not look after them properly. About 2.4 million dogs are mainly fed on leftovers, rather than nutritionally balanced dog food.About 1.9 million dogs are left alone each day for more than four hours, even though vets say four hours should be the maximum. Around 15 percent of owners believe it is acceptable to leave a dog for eight hours without attention while four per cent say dogs can be abandoned for more than ten hours without suffering.The survey also revealed the Britain’s cats are overfed, with more than half of ownersadmitting their cats are overweight. Rabbits are also neglected. In the wild they live in large groups, but 67 percent of pet rabbits live on their own, which creates the risk of boredom and stress.Another spokesman said, “Our report reveals that there is much work to do to raise awareness of what pets need to live healthy and happy lives.”21. The author has written this article to______.A. explain what pets should eat to keep healthyB. show the present physical and mental situation of petsC. tell readers what is a good happy life for petsD. call on people to take good care of their pets22. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the text?A. Dogs should be left alone for more than eight hours without suffering.B. About 2.4 million dogs are fed on nutritionally balanced dog food.C. Pet rabbits living together creates the risk of boredom and stress.D. More than half of cats in Britain are overfed and overweight.23. You can read this article in a _______.A. health magazineB. Biology textbookC. newspaper advertisementD. book reviewBA head teacher at a primary in Glasgow of Scotland has received a pressing request from a parent. Would it be possible,on the last day of the summer term, to separate the playing field so that a helicopter can land?It is for an 11-year-old pupil whose parents want to do something special to mark their last day at the school. They have spent $500 on a helicopter so that their child can make what they believe is a fitting arrival for the school prom(舞会).$250-an-hour stretch limousines(加长豪华车)are being hired out at such a rate that most firms are fully-booked for Friday, July 23, the day on which most primary schools break up. The trend to celebrate the end of primary school in such an ostentatious(铺张的)way is new to us. After all, it’s only in the past five years that the high school prom, imported from the US and intended for 16-year-olds, has become popular in this country.In the past days, the end of primary school would have been marked with an autograph bookor T-shirt that friends could sign their names and messages. So what has changed? It is the children’s expectations. They see their older brothers and sisters celebrate in a certain way and want to do the same.Instead of telling them to wait until they are old enough, parents are only too easily persuaded that their children’s wishes should be honored. “More and more parents work, so I think there is a whole generation of parents who are feeling guilty about their children,”says Professor Cary Cooper, a psychologist at Lancaster University. “Because they spend too less time with their children, they tend to satisfy their demands far more than they would have done 20 years ago.”Thankfully, Mearns Primary in Newton Mearns turned down the parents’ request. But in a few years’ time, who knows the ways that things are going?24. The text is mainly about _____.A. the various ways to celebrate the end of primary schoolB. the bad trend in celebrating the end of primary schoolC. the most exciting moment at the end of primary schoolD. the gifts parents prepare for their children’s graduation25. What does the author think of this trend in the primary school?A. She thinks very lowly of it.B. She supports it very much.C. She shows no interest in it.D. She thinks it is worth a try.26. Which of the following is NOT true about the school prom?A. It was introduced from the US.B. It is mainly intended for 16-year-old students.C. It is usually held at the end of the school year.D. It became popular in the US two years ago.27. We can infer from the text that_____.A. parents work harder than before to make up for feeling guilty about their childrenB. parents tended to satisfy more of their children’s demands 20 years agoC. students often succeed in persuading their parents to satisfy their demandsD. parents tell their children to celebrate their graduation until they are old enoughCAt times my mom has been uncomfortable seeing these qualities in me. For example,when Iwas 12,I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it. She kept telling me how things were different in Puerto Rico,to always put on sunscreen,not to wander away from my grandmother,and other warnings. She helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off.But despite her worries,she let me go on my own. As I moved into my teens,she continued to give me space to grow and learn,even when it might have been difficult for her. When I reached my senior year,I decided to move away for college. Once again I found that I differed from my peers:While many of them wanted to stay close to home,I couldn’t wait to be out in the world on my own. While my mom may not have been happy at the thought of my going away,she was supportive and excited for me.One big thing I realized during my senior year,as my mom granted me more freedom,was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. That means a lot. Most of my life,and especially when I was little,the main person I tried to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother. I knew she expected nothing but the best from me. Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards: getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she wanted me to h ave all A’s.I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what’s important,like education,and made me who I am. I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life .Most of all I respect her. She is the strongest woman I know and that’s why I have turned out so strong and independent.28. When the author decided to go to Puerto Rico,his mother________.A.wanted to go with him B.worried about his safetyC.didn’t allow him to do so D.asked his grandmother for advice29. Why did the author decide to move away for college?A.He wanted to be different from his peers.B.He planned to keep away from his mother.C.He wanted to be independent in the outside world.D.He intended to make his mother unhappy.30. We can learn f rom Paragraph 3 that the author’s mother________.A.was too strict with him B.cared little about his learningC.used to expect nothing from him D.had a high expectation of him31. What does the author mainly want to tell us in the text?A.His mother’s deep love for him B.His long way to become independentC.His good relationship with his mother D.The importance of his mother’s trust and supportDThe Fourth "21th Century Cup" National English Speaking Competition is to be held in Shanghai.Organizers: China Daily and Shanghai Broadcasting Network.Co-ordinater: China University English Speaking Association (CUESA).Co-sponsors (联办单位): English Speaking Union (ESU), Lotus Software (China)Co.

Mom and Dad lived on a small farm that they had owned since I was seven. I hated going there every weekend. There was nothing for a young girl to do but watch the one station on the old TV set, if the weather allowed reception.My mom, on the other hand, loved the peace and quiet of the land. The place was rustic, with no indoor plumbing or heat. We had a big wood stove in the kitchen that did its best to heat the little farmhouse, but it always seemed cold and too quiet to me.In the evenings, my mom and I would sit for hours singing in the little kitchen. I sang the melody and Mom harmonized. Her favorite song was "Moon River" and we sang it over and over. Mom told me stories about how when I was a little girl, I could sing before I could talk.As time passed, I had my own children and went to visit them every week or two. The kids loved the farm and the tractor rides with my dad. Me, well, I still hated the silence of the farm. While my mom loved to sit at her kitchen table and look out at her garden and flowers and retell all the old stories, I missed the hustle and bustle(喧闹)of my life at home. But I sat there listening quietly as she reminisced.Now, I sat back in the silence and the silence was deafening so I finally leaned over to turn on an old radio. Music always comforted me.My heart skipped a beat. "Moon River" was playing on the radio. I sat there stunned, with a tear running down my cheek, as I listened to every familiar note.56.

Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? _______A. Cherish(珍惜) lifeB. My happy childhoodC. Our small farmhouseD. Mom‘s musicBIn her new book, ―The Smartest Kids in the World,‖ Amanda Ripley, an investigative journalist, tells the story of Tom, a high-school student from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, who decides to spend his senior year in Warsaw, Poland. Poland is a surprising educational success story: in the past decade, the country raised students‘ test scores from significantly below average to well above it. Polish kids have now outscored(超过……分数) American kids in math and science, even though Poland spends, on average, less than half as much per student as the United States does. One of the most striking differences between the high school Tom attended in Gettysburg and the one he ends up at in Warsaw is that the latter has no football team, or, for that matter, teams of any kind.That American high schools lavish more time and money on sports than on math is an old complaint. This is not a matter of how any given student who plays sports does in school, but of the culture and its priorities. This December, when the latest Program for International Student Assessment(PISA) results are announced, it‘s safe to predict that American high-school students will once again display their limited skills in math and reading, outscored not just by students in Poland but also by students in places like South Korea, Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland, Singapore, and Japan. Meanwhile, they will have played some very exciting football games, which will have been breathlessly written up in their hometown papers.Why does this situation continue? Well, for one thing, kids like it. And for another, according to Ripley, parents seem to like the arrangement, too. She describes a tour she took of a school in Washington D.C., which costs thirty thousand dollars a year. The tour leader—a mother with three children in the school—was asked about the school‘s flaws(暇疵). When she said that the math program was weak, none of the parents taking the tour reacted. When she sa id that the football program was weak, the parents suddenly became concerned. ―Really?‖ one of them asked worriedly, ―What do you mean?‖One of the ironies(讽刺) of the situation is that sports reveal what is possible. American kids‘ performance on the field shows just how well they can do when expectations are high. It‘s too bad that their test scores show the same thing.60. Tom decides to spend his senior year in Poland because _______.A. there are striking differences between the 2 countriesB.

The purpose of this article is to _______.A. draw public attention to a weakness in American school traditionB. call on American schools to learn from the Polish modelC. compare Polish schools with those in AmericaD. explain what is wrong with American schools and provide solutionsCWe regularly hear how important consumer spending is for the economy. The story goes like this:the more consumers spend,the more money circulates in the economy, which contributes to healthy job growth and profits. Keynes, a British economist,went as far as to say that individuals saving their money may actually be hurting the economy. Sounds troub ling, doesn‘t it?Fear not. You aren‘t actually hurting anyone else by saving money. Strong economic growth only comes from one place:savings. Not consumption. In fact,economic activity should not be mistaken for economic growth. For example,somebody takes their money, walks into a store, and purchases goods. The store increases its revenue.But what happens to all of those goods and services that people have chosen not to consume by saving their money? Simple:Other people are allowed to consume them. Think of it this way:When you lend out your savings, you are actually saying,―Here, I am not going to consume right now, so why don‘t you?‖ Banks simply play the middleman:they collect lots of people‘s savings and then lend out lots of funds.It takes an unbelievable amount of goods and services to construct a building. It takes food, shelter, and entertainment for all of the workers, as well. Without savings,it is quite impossible to finance such a construction. The coordination(协调)between savings and consumption is a necessary basis for sound economic growth. This coordination is also why consumer lending (say , to borrow a big sum of money to buy a car) is not productive,in a strict sense. It doesn‘t increase the net (净的) amount of wealth of an economy. Those savings could have been used to construct, say, factory equipment.None of this means consumption and spending are ―bad‖ things. They simply do not make us wealthier. After all, the final goal of production and savings is to consume. But to say that consumption is the engine of economic growth is to put the cart before the horse. Or, to rephrase: the consumption of wealth can never make you wealthier. Happier, perhaps. Wealthier, no.64. What is the author‘s attitude towards Keynes‘ theory?A. Approving.B. Reserved(矜持的).C.

Whistles and chirps are like the sounds that many birds make. Now scientists have translated some of their squirrel-speak.Hare, a professor of zoology at the University of Maniloha in Winnipeg, and his team managed to record squirrels' alarm calls. The researchers studied the sounds and then played them back to 60 wild squirrels, which the scientists approached individually with a video recorder to capture(抓拍)their responses. Some squirrels lifted their heads up and became alert(警惕的). Creatures that were more frightened simply ran for their lives and dived into caves."In effect then, whistles that mix with chucks say 'there's an enemy of average threat that's here', and whistles without chucks say 'there's an enemy of seemingly average threat around here somewhere', while pure chirps say, 'I'm hiding here because there's an immediate danger. ' " Hare told. Discovery News.Hare and some other researchers believe such sounds are part of an advanced language that develops just as all other communication systems.Although squirrels risk their lives when they call out to warn others of threats, other squirrels might admire this behavior, thus increasing the caller‘s social status, like humans who look up to heroes. Hare added that other animals, such as birds, probably understand at least some squirrel language, since they also may benefit from the alarm calls.In fact, another Canadian study found that deep-voiced, black-capped chickadees have their own language too. According to certain research, there are a lot of tidings in chickadees' calls, such as directing fellows' activities, keeping in contact between mates, and raising alarms.While chickadees and other birds are often welcomed into gardens by homeowners, squirrels are frequently viewed as pests(害兽). Hare wishes a greater understanding of the complex social lives and communication systems of squirrels will provide ―hope that humans will gain a g reater appreciation and stop doing harm to these animals‖.72. The text mainly talks about _______ .A. the ways for squirrels to escape from their enemiesB. the comparison between squirrels and chickadeesC. the calling for the protection of squirrelsD. the study on the language of squirrels73.

The underlined word ―tidings‖ in p aragraph 6 probably means ____.A. difficultiesB. noisesC. messagesD. languages75. What can be learned from this text?A. Squirrels communicate with each other as humans do.B. Some squirrels understand the recorded alarm calls.C. Other animals also well understand the language of squirrels.D. Birds such as chickadees don‘t have their own language.第二卷(计分:35分)注意:本卷答案一律写在答题纸上......,请看清题号作答。
