We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. "Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting herd," William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the ever-changing 21st century, even the word "habit" carries a negative implication.So it seems paradoxical to talk about habits in the same context as creativity and innovation. But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel parallel paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks.Rather than dismissing ourselves as unchangeable creatures of habit, we can instead direct our own change by consciously developing new habits. In fact, the more new things we try—the more we step outside our comfort zone—the more inherently creative we become, both in the workplace and in our personal lives.But don't bother trying to kill off old habits; once those ruts of procedure are worn into the brain, they're there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberately press into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads."The first thing needed for innovation is a fascination with wonder," says Dawna Markova, author of The Open Mind. "But we are taught instead to 'decide,' just as our president calls himself 'the Decider.'" She adds, however, that "to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities."All of us work through problems in ways of which we're unaware, she says. Researchers in the late 1960s discovered that humans are born with the capacity to approach challenges in four primary ways: analytically, procedurally, relationally (or collaboratively) and innovatively. At the end of adolescence, however, the brain shuts down half of that capacity, preserving only those modes of thought that have seemed most valuable during the first decade or so of life.The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights analysis and procedure, meaning that few of us inherently use our innovative and collaborative modes of thought. "This breaks the majorrule in the American belief system — that anyone can do anything," explains M. J. Ryan, author of the 2006 book This Year I Will... and Ms. Markova's business partner. "That's a lie that we have perpetuated, and it fosters commonness. Knowing what you're good at and doing even more of it creates excellence." This is where developing new habits comes in.21.In Wordsworth’s view ,“habit” is characterized by being[A] casual[B] familiar[C] mechanical[D] Changeable22.Brain researchers have discovered that the formation of new habit can be[A] predicted[B] regulated[C] traced[D] guided23.The word "ruts"(Para.4) has closest in meaning to[A] tracks[B] series[C] characteristics[D] connections24.Dawna Markova most probably agree that[A] ideas are born of a relaxing mind[B] innovativeness could be taught[C] decisiveness derives from fantastic ideas[D] curiosity activates creative minds25.Ryan's comments suggest that the practice of standardized testing[A] prevents new habits form being formed[B] no longer emphasizes commonness[C] maintains the inherent American thinking model[D] complies with the American belief systemText 2It is a wise father that knows his own child, but today a man can boost his paternal (fatherly) wisdom – or at least confirm that he's the kid's dad. All he needs to do is shell out $30 for paternity testing kit (PTK) at his local drugstore – and another $120 to get the results.More than 60,000 people have purchased the PTKs since they first become available without prescriptions last years, according to Doug Fog, chief operating officer of Identigene, which makes the over-the-counter kits. More than two dozen companies sell DNA tests directly to the public, ranging in price from a few hundred dollars to more than $2,500.Among the most popular: paternity and kinship testing, which adopted children can use tofind their biological relatives and families can use to track down kids put up for adoption. DNA testing is also the latest rage among passionate genealogists-and supports businesses that offer to search for a family's geographic roots.Most tests require collecting cells by swabbing saliva in the mouth and sending it to the company for testing. All tests require a potential candidate with whom to compare DNA.But some observers are skeptical, "There is a kind of false precision being hawked by people claiming they are doing ancestry testing," says Troy Duster, a New York University sociologist. He notes that each individual has many ancestors-numbering in the hundreds just a few centuries back. Yet most ancestry testing only considers a single lineage, either the Y chromosome inherited through men in a father's line or mitochondrial DNA, which is passed down only from mothers. This DNA can reveal genetic information about only one or two ancestors, even though, for example, just three generations back people also have six other great grandparents or, four generations back, 14 other great-great-grandparents.Critics also argue that commercial genetic testing is only as good as the reference collections to which a sample is compared. Databases used by some companies don't rely on data collected systematically but rather lump together information from different research projects. This means that a DNA database may have a lot of data from some regions and not others, so a person's test results may differ depending on the company that processes the results. In addition, the computer programs a company uses to estimate relationships may be patented and not subject to peer review or outside evaluation.26.In Paragraphs 1 and 2, the text shows PTK's[A] easy availability[B] flexibility in pricing[C] successful promotion[D] popularity with households27.PTK is used to[A] locate one's birth place[B] promote genetic research[C] identify parent-child kinship[D] choose children for adoption28.Skeptical observers believe that ancestry testing fails to[A] trace distant ancestors[B] rebuild reliable bloodlines[C] fully use genetic information[D] achieve the claimed accuracy29.In the last paragraph, a problem commercial genetic testing faces is[A] disorganized data collection[B] overlapping database building[C] excessive sample comparison[D] lack of patent evaluation30.An appropriate title for the text is most likely to be[A] Fors and Againsts of DNA testing[B] DNA Testing and It's Problems[C] DNA Testing Outside the Lab[D] Lies Behind DNA TestingText 3The relationship between formal education and economic growth in poor countries is widely misunderstood by economists and politicians alike. Progress in both areas is undoubtedly necessary for the social, political and intellectual development of these and all other societies; however, the conventional view that education should be one of the very highest priorities for promoting rapid economic development in poor countries is wrong. We are fortunate that it is, because building new educational systems there and putting enough people through them to improve economic performance would require two or three generations. The findings of a research institution have consistently shown that workers in all countries can be trained on the job to achieve radical higher productivity and, as a result, radically higher standards of living.Ironically, the first evidence for this idea appeared in the United States. Not long ago, with the country entering a recession and Japan at its pre-bubble peak. the U.S. workforce was derided as poorly educated and one of primary causes of the poor U.S. economic performance. Japan was, and remains, the global leader in automotive assembly productivity. Yet the research revealed that the U.S. factories of Honda Nissan, and Toyota achieved about 95 percent of the productivity of their Japanese counterparts -- a result of the training that U.S. workers received on the job.More recently, while examining housing construction, the researchers discovered that illiterate, non-English-speaking Mexican workers in Houston, Texas, consistently met best-practice labor productivity standards despite the complexity of the building industry's work. What is the real relationship between education and economic development? We have to suspect that continuing economic growth promotes the development of education even when governments don't force it. After all, that's how education got started. When our ancestors were hunters and gatherers 10,000 years ago, they didn't have time to wonder much about anything besides finding food. Only when humanity began to get its food in a more productive way was there time for other things.As education improved, humanity's productivity potential increased as well. When the competitive environment pushed our ancestors to achieve that potential, they could in turn afford more education. This increasingly high level of education is probably a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for the complex political systems required by advanced economic performance. Thus poor countries might not be able to escape their poverty traps without political changes that may be possible only with broader formal education. A lack of formal education, however, doesn't constrain the ability of the developing world's workforce to substantially improve productivity for the foreseeable future. On the contrary, constraints on improving productivity explain why education isn't developing more quickly there than it is.31.The author holds in Paragraph 1 that the importance of education in poor countries[A] is subject groundless doubts[B] has fallen victim of bias[C] is conventionally downgraded[D] has been overestimated32.It is stated in Paragraph 1 that the construction of a new education system[A] challenges economists and politicians[B] takes efforts of generations[C] demands priority from the government[D] requires sufficient labor force33.A major difference between the Japanese and U.S. workforces is that[A] the Japanese workforce is better disciplined[B] the Japanese workforce is more productive[C] the U.S workforce has a better education[D] the U.S workforce is more organize34.The author quotes the example of our ancestors to show that education emerged[A] when people had enough time[B] prior to better ways of finding food[C] when people no longer went hungry[D] as a result of pressure on government35.According to the last paragraph , development of education[A] results directly from competitive environments[B] does not depend on economic performance[C] follows improved productivity[D] cannot afford political changesText 4The most thoroughly studied intellectuals in the history of the New World are the ministers and political leaders of seventeenth-century New England. According to the standard history of American philosophy, nowhere else in colonial America was "so much importance attached to intellectual pursuits." According to many books and articles, New England's leaders established the basic themes and preoccupations of an unfolding, dominant Puritan tradition in American intellectual life.To take this approach to the New Englanders normally mean to start with the Puritans' theological innovations and their distinctive ideas about the church-important subjects that we may not neglect. But in keeping with our examination of southern intellectual life, we may not neglect. But in keeping with our examination of southern intellectual life, we may consider the original Puritans as carriers of European culture, adjusting to New World circumstances. The New England colonies were the scenes of important episodes in the pursuit of widely understood ideals of civility and virtuosity.The early settlers of Massachusetts Bay included men of impressive education and influence in England. `Besides the ninety or so learned ministers who came to Massachusetts churches in the decade after 1629, there were political leaders like John Winthrop, an educated gentleman, lawyer, and official of the Crown before he journeyed to Boston. These men wrote and publishedextensively, reaching both New World and Old World audiences, and giving New England an atmosphere of intellectual earnestness.We should not forget , however, that most New Englanders were less well educated. While few craftsmen or farmers, let alone dependents and servants, left literary compositions to be analyzed, it is obvious that their views were less fully intellectualized. Their thinking often had a traditional superstitious quality. A tailor named John Dane, who emigrated in the late 1630s, left an account of his reasons for leaving England that is filled with signs. Sexual confusion, economic frustrations, and religious hope-all name together in a decisive moment when he opened the Bible, told his father that the first line he saw would settle his fate, and read the magical words: "Come out from among them, touch no unclean thing , and I will be your God and you shall be my people." One wonders what Dane thought of the careful sermons explaining the Bible that he heard in puritan churches.Meanwhile, many settles had slighter religious commitments than Dane's, as one clergyman learned in confronting folk along the coast who mocked that they had not come to the New world for religion. "Our main end was to catch fish."36.The author notes that in the seventeenth-century New England[A] Puritan tradition dominated political life.[B] intellectual interests were encouraged.[C] politics benefited much from intellectual endeavors.[D] intellectual pursuits enjoyed a liberal environment.37.It is suggested in Paragraph 2 that New Englanders[A] experienced a comparatively peaceful early history.[B] brought with them the culture of the Old World[C] paid little attention to southern intellectual life[D] were obsessed with religious innovations38.The early ministers and political leaders in Massachusetts Bay[A] were famous in the New World for their writings[B] gained increasing importance in religious affairs[C] abandoned high positions before coming to the New World[D] created a new intellectual atmosphere in New England39.The story of John Dane shows that less well-educated New Englanders were often[A] influenced by superstitions[B] troubled with religious beliefs[C] puzzled by church sermons[D] frustrated with family earnings40.The text suggests that early settlers in New England[A] were mostly engaged in political activities[B] were motivated by an illusory prospect[C] came from different intellectual backgrounds.[D] left few formal records for later referencePart BDirections:In the following article, some sentences have been removed.

(10 points)Coinciding with the groundbreaking theory of biological evolution proposed by British naturalist Charles Darwin in the 1860s, British social philosopher Herbert Spencer put forward his own theory of biological and cultural evolution. Spencer argued that all worldly phenomena, including human societies, changed over time, advancing toward perfection. 41.____________.American social scientist Lewis Henry Morgan introduced another theory of cultural evolution in the late 1800s. Morgan helped found modern anthropology—the scientific study of human societies, customs, and beliefs—thus becoming one of the earliest anthropologists. In his work, he attempted to show how all aspects of culture changed together in the evolution of societies.42._____________.In the early 1900s in North America, German-born American anthropologist Franz Boas developed a new theory of culture known as historical particularism. Historical particularism, which emphasized the uniqueness of all cultures, gave new direction to anthropology.43._____________.Boas felt that the culture of any society must be understood as the result of a unique history and not as one of many cultures belonging to a broader evolutionary stage or type of culture.44._______________.Historical particularism became a dominant approach to the study of culture in American anthropology, largely through the influence of many students of Boas. But a number of anthropologists in the early 1900s also rejected the particularist theory of culture in favor of diffusionism. Some attributed virtually every important cultural achievement to the inventions ofa few, especially gifted peoples that, according to diffusionists, then spread to other cultures.45.________________.Also in the early 1900s, French sociologist Émile Durkheim developed a theory of culture that would greatly influence anthropology. Durkheim proposed that religious beliefs functioned to reinforce social solidarity. An interest in the relationship between the function of society and culture became a major theme in European, and especially British, anthropology.[A] Other anthropologists believed that cultural innovations, such as inventions, had a single origin and passed from society to society. This theory was known as diffusionism.[B] In order to study particular cultures as completely as possible, Boas became skilled in linguistics, the study of languages, and in physical anthropology, the study of human biology and anatomy.[C] He argued that human evolution was characterized by a struggle he called the "survival of the fittest," in which weaker races and societies must eventually be replaced by stronger, more advanced races and societies.[D] They also focused on important rituals that appeared to preserve a people's social structure,such as initiation ceremonies that formally signify children's entrance into adulthood.[E] Thus, in his view, diverse aspects of culture, such as the structure of families, forms of marriage, categories of kinship, ownership of property, forms of government, technology, and systems of food production, all changed as societies evolved.[F] Supporters of the theory viewed as a collection of integrated parts that work together to keep a society functioning.[G] For example, British anthropologists Grafton Elliot Smith and W. J. Perry incorrectly suggested, on the basis of inadequate information, that farming, pottery making, and metallurgy all originated in ancient Egypt and diffused throughout the world. In fact, all of these cultural developments occurred separately at different times in many parts of the world.Part CDirections:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (10 points)There is a marked difference between the education which everyone gets from living with others and the deliberate educating of the young. In the former case the education is incidental; it is natural and important, but it is not the express reason of the association. (46) It may be said that the measure of the worth of any social institution is its effect in enlarging and improving experience, but this effect is not a part of its original motive. Religious associations began, for example, in the desire to secure the favor of overruling powers and to ward off evil influences; family life in the desire to gratify appetites and secure family perpetuity; systematic labor, for the most part, because of enslavement to others, etc. (47) Only gradually was the by-product of the institution noted, and only more gradually still was this effect considered as a directive factor in the conduct of the institution. Even today, in our industrial life, apart from certain values of industriousness and thrift, the intellectual and emotional reaction of the forms of human association under which the world's work is carried on receives little attention as compared with physical output.But in dealing with the young, the fact of association itself as an immediate human fact, gains in importance. (48) While it is easy to ignore in our contact with them the effect of our acts upon their disposition, it is not so easy as in dealing with adults. The need of training is too evident; the pressure to accomplish a change in their attitude and habits is too urgent to leave these consequences wholly out of account. (49) Since our chief business with them is to enable them to share in a common life we cannot help considering whether or not we are forming the powers which will secure this ability. If humanity has made some headway in realizing that the ultimate value of every institution is its distinctively human effect we may well believe that this lesson has been learned largely through dealings with the young.We are thus led to distinguish, within the broad educational process which we have been so far considering, a more formal kind of education -- that of direct tuition or schooling. In undeveloped social groups, we find very little formal teaching and training. These groups mainly rely for instilling needed dispositions into the young upon the same sort of association which keepsthe adults loyal to their group.Section III WritingPart A51.

A(2009年全国卷)I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life-and-death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother's body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk(象鼻) against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.Just at this moment, she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot (地点) where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.While I was wondering what I could do next,I heard the sound of a mother‟s love.Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could,roaring(吼叫)all the time,but to her calf it was music.56.The moment the author got down to the river bank he saw .A.the calf was about to fall into the riverB.Ma Shwe was placing the calf on the rockC.the calf was washed away by the rising waterD.Ma Shwe was holding the calf against the rushing water57.How did Ma Shwe manage to save her calf from the fast-flowing water?A.By putting it on a safe spot.B.By pressing it against her body.C.By taking it away with her.D.By carrying it on her back58.How did the calf feel about the mother elephant‟s roaring?A.It was a great comfort.B.It was a sign of danger.C.It was a call for help.

Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life-and-death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother’s body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk(象鼻)against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.Just at this moment she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot(地点)where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mother’s love. Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could, roaring(吼叫)all the time, but to her calf it was music. 56.

A Matter of Life and DeathBComputer programmer David Jones earns $35.000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank ready to let him have a credit card(信用卡). Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18. The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David’s firm releases(推出)two new games for the fast growing computer market each month.But David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money. Even though he earns a lot, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage(抵押贷款), or get credit cards. David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. “I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs,” he said. David spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother 50 pounds a week. But most of his spare time is spent working.“Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school,” he said. “But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knewwhat I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway.” David added: “I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement(退休)is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.”60. In what way is David different from people of his age? A. He often goes out with friends.B. He lives with his mother.C. He has a handsome income.D. He graduated with six O-levels.61. What is one of the problems that David is facing now? A. He is too young to get a credit card.B. He has no time to learn driving.C. He has very little spare time.D. He will soon lose his job.62. Why was David able to get the job in the company? A. He had done well in all his exams.B. He had written some computer programs.C. He was good at playing computer games.D. He had learnt to use computers at school.63. Why did David decide to leave school and start working? A. He received lots of job offers.B. He was eager to help his mother.C. He lost interest in school studies.D. He wanted to earn his own living.CWe have met the enemy, and he is ours. We bought him at a pet shop. When monkey-pox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, it’s hard not to wonder of the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. “Most of the infections(感染)we think of as human infections started in other animals,” says Stephen Morse, director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.It’s not just that we’re going to where the animals are; we’re also bringing them closer to us. Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isaksen’s pets, and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea. “I don’t think it’s fair to have them as pets when we have such a limitedknowledge of them,” says Isaksen.“Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing,” says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug(病毒)may be kind at first. But it may develop into something harmful(有害的). Monkey-pox doesn’t look a major infectious disease. But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.64. We learn from Paragraph 1 that the per sold at the shop may .A. come from ColumbiaB. prevent us from being infectedC. enjoy being with childrenD. suffer from monkey-pox65. Why did Isaksen advise people not to have foreign pets? A. They attack human beings.B. We need to study native animals.C. They can’t live out of the rain forest.D. We do not know much about them yet.66. What does she phrase “the wake-up call” in paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. a new diseaseB. a clear warningC. a dangerous animalD. a morning call67. The text suggests that in the future we .A. may have to fight against more new diseasesB. may easily get infected by diseases from dogsC. should not be allowed to have petsD. should stop buying pests from AfricaDIt’s not easy being a teenager(13至19岁青少年)--- nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the spacehe needs to grow while gently letting him know that you you’ll still be there for him when he needs you.Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving; consider everything else open todiscussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll clam up. Instead, let him attempt to solve(解决)things by himself. At the same time, remind him that you’re always there for him should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy(隐私). Never read him his mail or listen in on personal conversions.Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation(节制). Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job.68. The main purpose of the text is to tell parents .A. how to get along with a teenagerB. how to respect a teenagerC. how to understand a teenagerD. how to help a teenager grow up69. What does the phrase “clam up” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. become excitedB. show respectC. refuse to talkD. seek help70. The last paragraph is about how to teach a teenager .A. to use the phone in a sensible wayB. to pay for his own telephoneC. to share the phone quicklyD. to answer the phone quickly71. What should parents do in raising a teenager according to the text? A. Nor allow him to learn driving or take drugs.B. Give him advice only when necessary.C. Let him have his own telephone.D. Not talk about personal things with him.ESunday, October 5Clear, 69°FMy wife, Eleanor, and I took the train from Paris to Strasbourg, where we weremet by our driver and guide.

Yes, I do【考点】JI:语言交际.【分析】﹣﹣它看起来很重,我来帮帮你吧?﹣﹣不用了,谢谢.【解答】答案:A.考查交际语言的使用,No, thanks用来回答对方的请求帮助,my pleasure是帮助别人的人说的,而不是回答对方的请求,never mind "别放在心上",Yes, I do用来回答由助动词do引导的一般疑问句,故答案为A.【点评】考查交际语言的使用,应联系前后句子的语境,对答案进行确定. 22.

How much _____ she looked without her glasses!A. wellB. goodC. bestD. better【考点】61:形容词的比较级与最高级.【分析】不戴眼镜,她看起来更好看了!【解答】答案:D.分析句意可知,此处表示两者的比较,即将她戴眼镜与不戴眼镜时的相貌之间进行的比较,因此应使用形容词good的比较级;故选D.【点评】本题考查了形容词的比较级的用法;做类似的题时,首先应根据句意判断出比较的范围(即:表示两者还是三者以及三者以上的比较),来确定是使用比较级还是最高级;其次,还应掌握形容词比较级的变化规则及其意义用法. 24. Could I speak to is in charge of International Sales please?A. whoB. whatC. whoeverD. whatever【考点】HA:介词的宾语从句.【分析】请找任何负责国际销售的人接电话好吗?【解答】答案为C.本题考查名词性从句中引导词的运用.根据"speak to sb.(与某人讲话)"判断空格处需要的是"人",排除B和D;whoever表示"任何人",相当于"anyone who",不表示疑问;而who表示疑问;根据语境判断,说话人要找"任何负责的人",不表示疑问,故选C.【点评】名词性从句考查的关键是连接词的选用和语序,因此,我们首先要搞清从句的性质,掌握各连接词的用法,在此基础上判断.此外,关注名词性从句用陈述语序.25. What do you mean, there are only ten tickets?There be twelve.A. mustB. canC. willD. should【考点】A6:情态动词.【分析】你什么意思,只有十张票?应该有十二张的.【解答】答案:D.must一定,can可能,will会,should应该;句意表达的是对事实的怀疑和惊讶,should有这种含义,其它选项没有这样的用法.故选D.【点评】情态动词的用法是英语中常考的语言点.通常考查的方式有虚拟和推测,本题考查的是情态动词的特殊含义.学习时要注意积累.26. His sister left home in 2010, and ____ since.A. had not been heard ofB. has not been heard ofC. had not heard ofD. has not heard of【考点】E8:现在完成时.【分析】他的妹妹在2010年离开家,自从那时就没有音讯了.【解答】答案为B.根据句意可知,sister与hear of之间是被动关系,since后其实要省略了时间点2010,由此可知,要用现在完成时.故选B.【点评】考查现在完成时被动语态,结构是现在完成时态和被动语态结构的叠合,即"have+been+动词过去分词".since的四种用法1)since+过去一个时间点(如具体的年、月、日期、钟点、1980,last month,half past six).例如:I have been here since 1989. 1989起,我一直在这儿.2)since+一段时间+ago.例如:I have been here since five months ago.我在这儿,已经有五个月了.3)since+从句.例如:Great changes have taken place since you left.你走后,变化可大了.4)It is+一段时间+since从句.例如:It is two years since I became a postgraduate student.我考上研究生有两年了27. I tried phoning her office, but I couldn’t________.A. get alongB. get onC. get toD. get through【考点】A9:动词短语.【分析】我试着打她办公室的电话,但没有接通.【解答】答案D.考查词组的意义.前句意思是"我试着打她办公室的电话",根据后面的转折词语but告诉我们,这个电话没有"打通".get through表示"打通"电话,与某人通电话则是get through to sb,其它短语无此意.get along与某人相处,get on上车,上马,进展.get to到达.【点评】考查短语的题,熟记短语的意思,将选项分别代入题干进行选择. 28. She brought with her three friends, none of I had ever met before.A. themB. theseC. whoD. whom【考点】H2:非限制性定语从句.【分析】她带来了三个朋友,我以前一个都没见过.【解答】答案;D.句中none of I had ever met before修饰名词friends,是一个非限制性定语从句;关系词指代先行词friends,且在从句中作介词of的宾语,要用whom来引导.故选D.【点评】定语从句是用来修饰名词的形容词性从句,相当于一个形容词.连接定语从句的引导词分为关系代词和关系副词,关系代词在从句中要作主语或宾语;关系副词在从句中作状语.这也是选择关系词的一个判断方法. 29. Edward, you play so well. But I you played the piano.A. didn’t knowB. hadn’t knownC. don’t knowD. haven’t known【考点】E2:一般过去时.【分析】Edward,你弹的太好了.可我都不知道你会弹钢琴.【解答】A.根据句意可知,说话者是"过去"不知道,现在已经知道了,因此句子用一般过去时.【点评】本题考查时态.做时态题时,首先要看句子的时间状语,如果没有时间状语,就从句子暗含的意思来确定句子的时态.30. The children all turned the famous actress as she entered the classroom.A. looked atB. to look atC. to looking atD. look at【考点】BA:不定式.【分析】当那位著名的女演员走进了教室,所有的孩子都转过头去看她.【解答】答案:B.转过头去看turn to在这里是不定式表示目的,转过头(为的是)看一眼那个女演员.故正确答案为B.【点评】本题考查不定式的用法,属于语法知识,这就要求学生平时注意掌握积累语言基础知识.31. The computer was used in teaching.

It was her father who laid down the rules in her family and t here was never any appeal, any second chan ce. After protracted discussion and her repea ted pleas she had been allowed this weekly visit to the disco run by the church youth cl ub, provided she caught the nine-forty bus without fail. It’d put her down at the “Cro wn and Anchor” at Cobb’s marsh, only fifty yards from her cottage. From ten fifteen her father would begin watching for the bus t o pass the front room where he and her mo ther would sit half-watching the television, th e curtains drawn back. Whatever the progra mme or weather, he would then put on his coat and come out to walk the fifty yards to meet her, keeping her always in sight. Sinc e the Norfolk Whistler had begun his killing s, her father had an added justification for t he mild domestic tyranny which she half-real ized, he thought right in dealing with his on ly child and rather enjoyed. The concordat had been early established:“You do right by me, my girl, and I’ll do right by you.”She both loved him and slightly feared him and she dreaded his anger. Now there would be one of those awful rows in which she knew she couldn’t hope to look to her mother for support. It would be the end of her Friday evenings with Wayne and Shirl and the ga ng. Already they teased and pitied her because she was treated like a child. Now it woul d be total humiliation.Her final desperate thought was to hire a taxi and chase the bus, but she didn’t kno w where the cab rank was and she hadn’t e nough money; she was sure of that. She cou ld go back to the disco and see if Wayne a nd Shirl and the gang between them could l end her enough. But Wayne was always skin t (身无分文的)and Shirl too mean and by th e time she had argued and cajoled(哄骗)it w ould be too late.1. What was the girl’s problem now?A. The bus was lateB. She was late for the nine-forty busC. She was afraid to encounter the Norf olk WhistlerD. Her father would not come out to m eet her on her way home2. Why did the girl think "This was the end"?A. She had seen the Norfolk Whistle co mingB. She would never be able to get homeC. Her parents would give her a hard t imeD. She would never be allowed to visit the disco again3. How long would it take her to get to the "Crown and Anchor"by bus?A. 40 minutes or soB. About half an hourC. Over an hourD. Hard to tell4. Which of the following statements is probably true?A. Her father had been strict with her ever since the Norfolk Whistler began his kil lingsB. Her father had always been strict wi th her since her childhoodC. She dreaded her father because he w as always angry with herD. Whatever happened her mother alwa ys sided by her5. "She was sure of that."This means th at she was sure___A. she could catch up with the bus if s he took a taxiB. she could not borrow any money fro m either Wayne or ShirlC. she did not have enough money on h er to hire a taxiD. she would never be able to get home in time2. Are some people born clever, and oth ers born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? S trangely enough, the answer to both these q uestion is yes. To some extent our intelligenc e is given us at birth, and no amount of sp ecial education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the othe r hand, a child who lives in a boring enviro nment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundin g. Thus the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he re aches those limits will depend on his environ ment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. T he closer the blood relationship between twopeople, the closer they are likely to be in i ntelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated pe ople at random from the population, it is lik ely that their degree of intelligence will be c ompletely different. If on the other hand we take two identical twins they will very likel y be as intelligent as each other. Relations li ke brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this cl early suggests that intelligence depends on bi rth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environment s. We might send one, for example, to unive rsity and the other to factory where the wor k is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a pa rt. This conclusion is also suggested by the f act that people who lives in close contact wi th each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelli gence.1. Which of these sentences best describ es the writer’s point in Paragraph 1?A. To some extent, intelligence is given at birthB. Intelligence is developed by the envir onmentC. Some people are born clever and oth ers born stupidD. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is d eveloped by the environment2. It is suggested in this passage that__ _.A. unrelated people are not likely to ha ve different intelligenceB. close relation usually have similar int elligenceC. the closer the blood relationship betw een people, the more different they are likel y to be in intelligenceD. people who lived in close contact wit h each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.3. Brothers and sisters are likely to___.A. have similar intelligenceB. have different intelligenceC. go to the same universityD. go to the same factory4. In Paragraph 1 (line 5), the word "s urrounding"mean___.A. intelligenceB. lifeC. environmentsD. housing5. The best title for this article would b e___.A. On IntelligenceB.

them closer to us Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country A strange illness killed Isaksen’s pets and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea ―I don’t think it’s fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them ―says Isaksen―Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing ―says Peter Schantz Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners We know very little about these new diseases Anew bug(病毒)may be kind at

You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you y ou’ll still be there for him when he needs you.Expect a lot from your child, just not everything.Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving; consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discus s something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll clarn up. Instead , let him attempt to solve(解决)things by himself. At the same time, remind him that you’re always there for him should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy (隐私). Never read him his mail or listen in on personal conversions.Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation(节制). Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part –time job68.

Nearly everyone is exposed to risk of some sort. The house owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire; the ship-owner knows that his ships may be lost at sea; the breadwinner knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire nor every ship is lost at sea. If these persons each put a small sum into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer losses. In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contribution are known as insured and those who administer the pool of contributions as insurers. The legal basis of all insurance is the policy. This is a printed form of contract on a piece of paper in best quality. It states that every year the insured shall pay a named sum of money, which is called the premium; in return, the insurer will pay a sum of money or compensation for loss if the risk or event insured against actually happens. The premium for an insurance naturally depends upon how likely the risk is to happen, as suggested by past experience. If companies fix their premiums too high, there will be more competition in their area of insurance and they may lose business. On the other hand, if they make the premium too low, they will lose money and may even have to drop out of business. So the ordinary forces of supply and demand keep premiums at a level satisfactory to both the insurer and the insured. 21. By “the pool of contributions” (Para. 1) the writer means______. A. money paid by the insurers B. the amount of each premium C. money paid by all those insured D. the cost of administering insurance 22. A policy is ______.
