In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition of each new skill-the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing．It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child: This might happen at any stage．A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads．On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself．
Patents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children．Some may be especially strict in money matters．Others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals．In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child’s own happiness．
As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching．To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality．Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”．If they are not sincere and do not practice what they teach, their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled．
A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment．
小題1:Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills _________．
A．should be avoided
B．is universal among parents
C．sets up dangerous states of worry in the child
D．will make him lose interest in learning new things
小題2:In the process of children’s learning new skills, parents ______．
A．should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read
B．should not expect too much of them
C．should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own
D．should create as many learning opportunities as possible
小題3:The second paragraph mainly tells us that __________．
A．parents should be strict with their children
B．parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the community
C．parental restrictions vary, and are not always intended for the benefit of the children alone
D．parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation
小題4:In moral matters, parents should __________．
A．observe the rules themselves
B．be aware of the marked difference between adults and children
C．forbid things which have no foundation in morality
D．consistently ensure the security of their children

小題1:B

小題1: 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段開頭In bringing up children，every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition of each new skill，既然是每位父母都會這樣做，那么這種做法在父母中就是普遍的，故選B。根據(jù)文章第一段第二句，選項C。sets up dangerous states of worry in the child是由hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate引起的，“迫不及待地要求孩子做超出其自然成長速度的事情”和“熱切地觀察孩子學(xué)會每一項新技能”顯然不是一回事，作者對后者沒有否定之意，所以A不對。根據(jù)文章第一段末句，選項取D。will make him lose interest in learning new things是由a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities引起的。故D也不合文意。
小題1: 推理判斷題。文章第一段第二句It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate，but this can set Up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child，說明在孩于成長過程中，父母不能拔苗助長。文章第一段末句又說：On the other hand，though，if a child is left alone too much，or without any learning opportunities，he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself，說明對孩子太放任自流同樣不利。根據(jù)這兩方面，應(yīng)選C，父母對孩子的“嚴”與“松”之間應(yīng)有一個恰當(dāng)?shù)亩取?br />小題1: 主旨大意題。文章第二段的大意是:“父母對孩子的嚴格程度有很大的不同”。
小題1:推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章第三段第四句If they are not sincere and do not practice…，再根據(jù)文章最后一段，可以得出結(jié)論，關(guān)于道德教育問題，父母應(yīng)該以身作則，帶頭遵循，故選A。

The subject of what separates art and design has been debated for a long time. Artists and designers both create visual works using a/an   1  knowledge background, but their reasons for doing so are   2  different. Some designers consider themselves artists, but few artists consider themselves   3 .
So what exactly is the difference between art and design? Perhaps the most fundamental difference that we can all agree on is their   4 . Typically, the process of creating a work of art starts with nothing, a blank sheet of paper. A   5  of art is born from a view or value that the artist holds within himself or herself. They create the art to share that feeling with others, to   6 
the viewers to relate to it, learn from it or be   7  by it. The most renowned and successful art today is something that establishes the strongest   8  connection between the artist and their
  9 .
By contrast, when a designer sets out to   10  a new piece, they almost always have a
  11  starting point, whether a message, an image, an idea or an action. The designer’s job isn’t to invent something   12 , but to communicate something that already exists, for a purpose. That purpose is almost always to motivate the audience to do something: buy a product, use a
  13 , visit a location, or learn certain information. The most   14  designs are those that most effectively   15  their message and motivate their consumers to carry out a task.

Thousands of dead red-winged blackbirds fell from the sky in an Arkansas town on New Year’s Eve after massive injuries, tests by Arkansas officials concluded on Monday. Some 5,000 birds mysteriously fell from the sky in Beebe, Arkansas after dark on New Year’s Eve. “The birds suffered from acute physical injuries leading to internal hemorrhage（大量出血） and death. There was no sign of infectious disease,” the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission said in a statement. The birds were otherwise healthy, it said.
One theory is that birds were frightened by New Year's fireworks and flew into buildings or other objects. “Loud noises were reported shortly before the birds began to fall from the sky,” the statement said, adding that blackbirds have poor night vision and seldom fly at night.
　　Another theory was that severe weather such as lightning accounted for the loud noises but this was discounted because the violent weather had already left the area. “We’re leaning more toward a stress event," said Arkansas Game and Fish Commission spokesman Keith Stephens.
The commission also is trying to determine what caused the deaths of up to 100,000 fish over a 20-mile stretch of the Arkansas River near a dam in Ozark, 125 miles west of Beebe. The fish were discovered on December 30. Stephens said the commission expected results on the fish tests in probably a month. Since almost all the fish were one species -- bottom-feeding drum, Stephens said, the test was very important. Stephens also said: “The events do not appear related.” Both that section of the river and the air at the site of the bird deaths were tested for toxins(毒素). Beebe is a town of about 4,500 people located 30 miles northeast of the state capital.
小題1:What is NOT the probable reason why the dead red-winged blackbirds fell from the sky?
A．Internal hemorrhageB．Fireworks
C．Lightning weatherD．Murder
小題2:In the third paragraph, the underlined word discounted probably mean________.
A．not to reduce costB．not to believe
C．to make up a part D．to explain mystery
小題3:According to Stephens, we can infer the probable cause of the dead fish is _________.
A．cold weatherB．poor management
C．diseaseD．lack of food
小題4:The passage is mainly developed by __________.
A．a(chǎn)nalyzing causesB．making comparisons
C．examining differences D．following the time order

There are many famous writers in the English world, among whom Jane Austen  (1775—1817) has been popular with all ages. But then Jane Austen wrote her novels in England, she was writing about a world that most of us would not recognize.
But today Austen’s books are in greater demand than ever. In the last ten years, five of the six novels have been made into Hollywood films, while her books continue to be bestsellers. So why is Austen still popular?
Richard Jenkyns, a professor of English at Oxford University, argues that her novels still appeal to people because they focus on issues that are as relevant today as they were when she wrote them. Her novels are about women trying to find a perfect husband, but also explore issues surrounding marriage, friendship and the family. “The plots are fairly timeless stories about human interaction which are familiar to us,” Jenkyns says.
The most famous book Austen wrote is Pride and Prejudice, a love story between Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy. At first the two characters do not get on. They finally fall in love, but still have to overcome opposition (反對) to their relationship from their families.
All of Austen’s books are easy to read, making them popular with children and adults, but they work on different levels so people can take what they need from them, author Kate Henry says.
Austen is often praised as the greatest romance writer in the English language, so it is surprising she remained unmarried. “Maybe she was too much of a romantic, waiting for a perfect man,” Henry says.
小題1:Which of the following can NOT explain why Austen is still popular?
A．Her novels are all about love and marriage.
B．Her novels still make sense to today’s people.
C．All her novels are easy to read.
D．Her novels benefit people of different reading levels.
小題2: The underlined word “relevant” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.
A．strangeB．relatedC．funnyD．unimportant
小題3:According to Henry, Austen remained unmarried because ______.
A．she was used to the life of being single
B．the perfect man didn’t appears in her life
C．she was too busy to think of marriage
D．she was afraid of marriage
小題4:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．More and more people like reading Austen’s novels.
B．Austen died when she was 42 years old.
C．Pride and Prejudice is a novel about love.
D．Austen is often regarded as the greatest writer in the English language.

As in the field of space travel, new technologies continue to appear in undersea exploration. They share a number of similarities with each other — as well as some important differences.
Manned submersibles (潛水器), like spaceships, must maintain living conditions in an unnatural environment. While a spaceship must simply be sealed against the vacuum space, a submersible must be able to bear extreme pressure if it is not to break up in deep water.
In exploring space, unmanned vehicles were employed before astronauts. In undersea exploration, on the other hand, men paved the way, and only recently have unmanned remote-operated vehicles (ROVs) been put to use.
One reason for this is that communicating with vehicles in orbit is much easier than talking to those underwater. A vacuum is an ideal medium for radio communications, but underwater communications are limited to much slower sound waves. Thus, most undersea vehicles — particularly ROVs — operate at the end of long ropes.(電纜終端)
For a similar reason, knowing where you are undersea is much more difficult than in space. A spaceship’s position can be located by following its radio signal, or by using telescopes and radar. For an undersea vehicle, however, a special network of sonar （聲納系統(tǒng)）devices must be laid out in advance on the ocean floor in the area of a dive to locate the vehicle’s position.
Though undersea exploration is more challenging than outer space in a number of respects, it has a distinct advantage: going to the ocean depths doesn’t require the power necessary to escape Earth’s gravity. Thus, it remains far less expensive.
小題1:The purpose of the passage is ______.
A．to persuade you to explore the depths of the ocean
B．to stress the importance of the undersea exploration
C．to make you believe that the undersea exploration is better
D．to tell some differences between two kinds of explorations
小題2: By saying “men paved the way” in Paragraph 2 the author means that in undersea exploration ______.
A．unmanned vehicles were used in the beginning
B．men covered the ocean floor with stones and bricks
C．manned vehicles were employed before unmanned ones
D．men invented unmanned remote-operated vehicles in the past
小題3:The sonar devices must be placed ______.
A．from time to time
B．a(chǎn)fter the undersea vehicles dive
C．before the undersea vehicles dive
D．when the undersea vehicles are diving
小題4:What can we infer from the passage?
A．Submersibles usually break up in deep water.
B．Undersea vehicles can receive signals immediately.
C．Going to space needs power to escape the gravity.
D．Radio communications are quite difficult in a vacuum.

SCIENTISTS have discovered that living to the age of 100 may have nothing to do with the lifestyle you lead and everything to do with the type of genes (基因) you have.
For the lucky carriers of “Methuselah” genes, worries over smoking, eating unhealthily and not getting enough exercise may not be as necessary as to those of us without the special gene pattern .
The “Methuselah” genes could give extra protection against the diseases of old age such as cancer and heart disease. They could also protect people against the effects of the unhealthy lifestyles that we believe will lead us to an early death, scientists say. However, the genes are very rare.
The genes include ADIPOQ, which is found in about 10 percent of young people but in nearly 30 percent of people living past 100. They also include the CETP and the ApoC3 genes, which are found in 10 percent of young people, but in about 20 percent of people over 100 years old.
Some of those genes were discovered by a research group at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, led by Professor Nir Barzilai. The team studied the genes of over 500 people over 100 years old, and their children.
The studies show that tiny mutations (變異) in the make-up of some genes can greatly increase a person’s lifespan. Barzilai told a Royal Society conference that the discovery of such genes gave scientists clear targets for developing drugs that could prevent age-related diseases, allow people to live longer and stay healthy.
David Gems, a researcher at University College London, believes that drugs to slow ageing will become widespread.
“If we know which genes control longevity (長壽) then we can … target them with drugs. That makes it possible to slow down ageing,” he told The Times.
“Much of the pain and suffering in the world are caused by ageing. If we can find a way to reduce that, then we are obliged to take it.”
小題1: According to the article, which of the following is the most important if a person is to live to the age of 100?
A．Eating healthy food every day.
B．Having the right types of genes.
C．Having a healthy lifestyle.
D．Taking drugs that prevent ageing.
小題2:According to the article, the ApoC3 gene is found in ______ of people over 100 years old.
A．10%B．20%C．30%D．50%
小題3:Which of the following statements is TRUE of the research led by Professor Nir Barzilai?
A．The team studied the genes of over 100 people over 100 years of age.
B．The researchers found that mutations in certain genes lead to longer life.
C．The researchers found ways to develop drugs that could cure age-related diseases.
D．The study suggested that most people have genes that could lengthen their lives.
小題4: According to David Gems, ______.
A．drugs to slow ageing will be very expensive
B．modern science will be able to find more longevity genes
C．it is the duty of medical scientists to fight the problems of ageing
D．scientists can make new genes that will allow longer life

Tired of telling students to ask questions and to think about what they were doing, Damien Hynes, a high school geography teacher in Australia, decided to do an experiment to test what he had long been thinking．He wrote some well-organized nonsense （something untrue） on the blackboard．The students simply copied it but very few asked any questions．This shows that students are willing to believe anything given by teachers．The story is repeated in support of the Project for Enhancing Effective Learning （PEEL）．
PEEL was carried out by some teachers and researchers in Melbourne who had concluded that normal teaching methods seldom achieve their intended goals; what the teachers think they are teaching is one thing and what the students actually learn is something else．Students’ lack of an over-all view of learning goals and their concentration on test scores make them see each lesson as a separate activity．
Researchers realized that many students do not come into class empty-headed but have their own explanations of how the world works．Their own ideas can remain important to them even when they differ from scientific explanations that are learned later．In fact such ideas are hardly affected by traditional teaching．Students accept the teacher’s scientific explanation, but do not drop their own．They simply keep both and use them practically: in a class test, they copy the teacher’s idea, but in real life they use their own．
Clearly what was needed was to make students understand their learning process（過程）, and this is what the PEEL teachers set out to deal with．On the surface,（表面） a class being taught by PEEL methods only differs from an ordinary class in being a little noisier, because more people are talking．But there are some meaningful changes．Students are given much more time to express their views, and teachers don’t make immediate judgment．The students are allowed to guide what is done in class and their own ideas are always respected．This draws their attention to the actual learning process, and they become responsible for their own progress．
小題1:The aim of Hynes’ experiment was to ______．
A．show that students didn’t think about what they learnt
B．prove the effectiveness of the project known as PEEL
C．test students’ general knowledge about geography
D．encourage students to ask more questions in class
小題2:Why did some teachers and researchers carry out PEEL?
A．To ensure teachers do scientific work．
B．To help students get higher test scores．
C．To find the differences between what is taught and learnt．
D．To help normal teaching methods achieve their goals．
小題3:An important difference between PEEL and non-PEEL classes is that in the PEEL classes ______．
A．the teacher does not give the usual scientific explanations
B．students always have their own knowledge of the subject
C．more attention is paid to the students’ own ideas
D．the best explanations are given by the students
小題4:What is Damien Hynes？
A．He is a teacher who teaches geography in a high school in Australia
B．He is a geography teacher and a researcher in Australia
C．He is a teacher teaching geography in a high school in Austria
D．He is a high school geography teacher in Austria．

What does fizz (氣泡) taste like? In Bubbly (多泡的)drinks such as sodas, tiny bubbles give the drink a lift--- and have a distinct taste, In a new study on mice, scientists have connected that fizzy-taste feeling to the ability to taste sourness, such as that of oranges or vinegar.
Scientists first thought the taste of bubbles came from the bubbles bursting on the tongue, but now ate starting to think differently. Charles Zuker, of Columbia University, and his team studied the nervous system of mice to understand how the tongue tastes carbon dioxide, which is the gas that makes up the bubbles.
Animals, including human beings, are able to detect different tastes by using taste buds(味蕾) which pick up tastes in the mouth, and then send them to the brain. In the experiment, different groups of mice were genetically engineered to be missing one of the senses involved in taste. “Genetically engineered” means the researchers were able to turn off the switches for certain senses by changing the genes responsible for taste. The mice in one group could not taste sweet; another, sour; the third, bitter, and the fourth, salt. When the scientists gave carbon dioxide to the mice, the nervous systems of all the mice responded to the gas, except those of the mice that could not taste sour.
This shows that the taste of the bubbles must be sour, and that by turning off the ability of the mice to taste sour, the scientists also turned off their ability to taste carbon dioxide. When they studied the cells that detect sourness, the researchers found a protein attached to the cells that is important to the process of tasting carbon dioxide. When carbon dioxide comes into contact with this protein, the protein knocks off particles called protons. These protons(質(zhì)子), in turn, travel to the brain, which says ,” Hey! That’s a taste!”
It may seem like a lot of work to get from a can of soda to a taste, but the science of the senses is anything but simple, “  Taste is a challenging system to study,” one researcher says.
小題1: What is the most important function of the bubbles?
A．To look interesting . B．To make drinks taste good.
C．To make drinks funny. D．To produce a lot of fizz.
小題2:From the experiment the researchers learned that______.
A．sourness has nothing to do with the taste of bubbles.
B．there is a connection between sourness and bubbles.
C．the taste of bubbles is better if it’s less sour.
D．most mice cannot taste carbon dioxide.
小題3: It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．the taste of bubbles is produced by the bubbles bursting on the tongue.
B．the nervous systems of mice show how the tongue tastes carbon dioxide.
C．taste seems simple but is very complex to research.
D．nerve cells sending signals to the brain is the first step in tasting something.
小題4: Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．Nervous Systems Understand How the Tongue Tastes.
B．The Process of Taste
C．The taste of Bubbles.
D．Different Animals Detect Different Tastes.
