Three yearsBIn 1826, a French man named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. He invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo. The next important date in the history of photography was in 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype. Soon, other people began to use Daguerres way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains. In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of films and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked so hard. Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike. Photography also became one kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just copies of the real world. They showed our feelings, like other kinds of art.25. The first photo was a picture of Niepces _.A. business B. house C. garden D. window26. The Daguerreotype was _.

It is used for describing either male or female, or someone not wanting to be described with those terms. Today “hen” is frequently used by Swedish children and adults alike. Now other European countries are joining the gender-neutrality trend.“Fourteen major retailers(零售商) have made changes since we started our campaign almost two years ago,” reports Tricia Lowther, a mother-of-one in northern England and a member of the Let Toys Be Toys initiative, which lobbies for gender-neutral toy aisles. “Theyve taken down boys and girls signs. The blue and pink aisles remain, but things are happening.” The retailers doing away with boys and girls toy signs are major ones indeed: Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrisons, Boots. Marks & Spencer has gone even further, making its toy labeling gender-neutral. In the efforts to achieve gender equality in the children world, no country has gone as far as Sweden. The nurseries that first introduced “hen” still use it, and others have joined them. “All children should be able to wear what they want. Dresses are not just for girls. And pink is a beautiful colour that should be available to everybody,” says Maria Hulth of a gender equality consulting firm. “Sweden is really the pioneer,” says Lann Hornscheidt, a professor of gender studies. “No other country has made such an effort to break down gender barriers among children.” Though there are no official statistics regarding the number of Swedish nurseries using “hen”, Maria Hulth notes that individual teachers now often opt to use “hen” even when its not the nurserys policy. But, she notes, “Swedish nurseries and primary schools gender-neutral efforts dont end at the neutral word. Theyre putting a lot of effort into avoiding words like boys and girls, instead just saying children. To its supporters, Swedens nursery world of “hen” and pink-for-all is a civil rights heaven. But, Dr David Eberhard argues that a new word wont change the fact that the vast majority of peopleidentify either as men or women. “Whatever you choose to call people, the biological differences between men and women remain,” he notes. “We should treat each other with respect, but ignoring biological gender differences is crazy. Making us the same wont create more equality.” He thinks boys should be allowed to play with dolls and girls with cars if they like to. “But”, he adds, “calling them hen instead of him or her? Thats child cruelty.”Given that Sweden is the worlds fourth most gender-equal country, as measured in the World Economic Forums latest gender gap report (only Iceland, Finland and Denmark score higher), practices like the use of “hen” suggest an already progressive country trying to fix a minor problem.“Far from it, the gender gap creates poverty among women,” argues Hornscheidt. “Movements like the use of “hen” are all part of an effort to create a more just world.”28. The author mentions some major retailers in Paragraph 2 to show_. A. the influence of the gender-neutral campaign B. these retailers efforts to promote toy salesC. the importance of making boys and girls equal D. the varieties of toys for children to choose from29.The underlined word “opt” in Paragraph 5 is closes in meaning to _. A. hesitate B. prefer C. pretend D. refuse 30. Which of the following would Lann Hornscheidt most probably agree with? A. Both men and women should wear pink clothes to show equality. B. Kids and adults will stay equal if they both use the word “hen”. C. Sweden has taken the lead in advocating the real gender equality. D. There are no biological gender differences between men and women. 31. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To seek a new solution to gender inequality. B. To introduce a new development in gender equality. C. To stress the significance of Swedens gender neutral movement. D. To compare Swedens education with that of other European countries. DSix people have kept themselves inside a white dome in Hawaii to have an eight-month test of how their mental health might experience during a mission to Mars.The NASA-funded project involves three men and three women who have no access to fresh food and limited access to Internet that requires 20-minute intervals between click and response, as it might be in deep space.They are allowed to step outside their igloo-like enclosure which measures 11 meters in diameter and six meters tall only if wearing a space suit.“We are surrounded by basaltic lava(玄武岩火山石) and living on the slopes of Mauna Loa where there is little evidence of plant or animal life,” wrote crew member Jocelyn Dunn, a doctor at Purdue Universitys School of Industrial Engineering, after her first day in the dome on October 17. “The training wheels are coming off as our new reality is setting in,” Dunn wrote on her blog, http:/fivestarview.blogspot.com, which she plans to update throughout the mission.NASA is spending $1.2 million on a series of three such projects known as Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation (HI-SEAS) to determine the potential risks of sending people together to spend long periods on a distant planet.NASA is aiming for a human mission to Mars by the 2030s, but experts are still not sure if humans can with-stand the radiation that the journey would involve.It could take eight months to reach the Red Planet, not to mention time spent on it with a thin atmosphere and no known food source, followed by an attempt at returning to Earth.One recent study found that with the current limits of technology, adventurers to Mars would start dying in 68 days. Another study this week said the risk of radiation-induced cancer would limit any trip to one year.NASA considers it just as important to study whether peoples mental states could hold up under the pressure of a Mars journey, said principal investigator Kim Binsted.Both crew psychology and radiation are considered “red risks” for Mars, “which means essentially, until we solve these problems, we are not going,” Binsted told AFP. Binsted is coordinating the experiment from the outside the dome. Those inside are healthy, educated people in their 20s and 30s, each with a keen interest in science and space. “It is kind of the opposite of a reality show. We select against drama.” explained Binsted. “We try to pick a crew that will get along with each other. We pick generally level-headed and easy-going people.”They include Allen Mirkadyrov, an aerospace engineer for and Neil Scheibelhut, a microbiologist and former soldier in Iraq. Sophie Milam is an expert in robotics who is pursuing a masters degree in engineering, and Zak Wilson is a mechanical engineer. The commander is Canadian-born Martha Lenio, who earned a doctor degree in engineering and has worked in the sustainable building industry, according to her biography.As time wears on, experts want to see how they get along with each other, and how they relate to mission control.One potential problem may come late in the game, when a depression known as “third-quarter syndrome” kicks in. There is also the issue of communication breakdown between the crew and ground control, which happens often in these kinds of missions, Binsted said.32. “A white dome” in Paragraph 1 is the same place as _.A. “deep space” in paragraph 2 B. “their igloo-like enclosure” in Paragraph 3C. “the slopes of Mauna Loa”in Paragraph 4D. “Purdue Universitys School of Industrial Engineering” in Paragraph 433. What is the aim of Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation (HI-SEAS)?A. To reduce the time to reach Mars to less than 8 months.B. To make sure if humans can with-stand the radiation involved in the journey.C. To find out the possible risks of having people travel to Mars and stay there.D. To aim for a human mission to Mars by the 2030s.34. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. it is likely to take a year for adventurers to have a to-and-back trip of MarsB. most adventurers-to-be are healthy, educated people in their 20s and 30s, each with a keen interest in science and spaceC. If possible, the crew will have a Canadian-born man-commander, Martha LenioD. Should the “red risks” not be solved, NASA would never try the exploration of Mars35. The passage is intended _.A. for informing us of a new research project B. as an introduction of some great adventurersC. for informing us of the exploration of Mars D. as a report of the latest space voyage第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项HomeworkDo arithmetic problems 15 through 25.

As I often did when 41 to hard labor in the garden, I suspected this was my parents way of 42 me to do their dirty work. It was a Sunday morning. With some tools, I went at the tree, dismantling (拆卸) it branch by branch and limb (枝干)by limb, 43 all that remained of the once-proud specimen（标本）was a sorry-looking stump（树桩） of a thing. “What did that 44 ever do to you?”, my father said, “You left some taproot (主根), at least. Go and load up the truck.” On any other day before, during the 45 to Mumsys, we would have pleasantly 46 school as usual, but I fenced myself off that time. Then, at Mumsys, instead of sitting back to watch me work, he 47 me. As my father and I took turns to work, I could feel my anger 48 , making room for the simple satisfaction of working at my fathers side 49 a common goal. “ Well,” my father said when we 50 , “ weve done what we can do.” “Do you think theres any 51 that it can grow up?” I asked. “Its rich dirt. They say you can 52 toenails in it and grow little kids.” My father answered. I never tried the toenail trick, but I did 53 as it settled in, took root, and began to prosper. I was amazed and 54 when bowls of figs began to fill the fridge. In a 55 fair world, I dont deserve the reward. I had 56 the tree for my own complaints. What right did I have to the fruit? Years later, I put this 57 to my father. Watching him slide a bowl of figs from the fridge one morning, I felt a sudden stab of shame for my boyhood 58 . My father took a fig from the 59 and let me think of the fruit as forgiveness. “You,” he said, “ 60 some of that.”41. A. sentenced B. puni
