Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a 21 problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Sometimes they begin to act without thinking. They try to find a solution by trial and error. Instead, when all of these methods 22 , the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stages in analyzing a problem. First, the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sams bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must 23 that there is a problem with the bicycle. Next, the person must find the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must 24 the parts that are wrong.Now the person must look for 25 that will make the problem clearer and lead to 26 solutions.After 27 the problem, the person should have 28 suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example 29 , his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change old ones.In the end, one 30 seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the 31 idea es quite 32 because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a different way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum stuck to a brake. He 33 hits on the solution to his problem: he must 34 the brake.Finally the solution is 35 . Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly. In short, he has solved the problem. 21. A. seriousB. usualC. similarD. mon22. A. failB. workC. changeD. develop23.

Songs from Elvis Presley to Ricky Martin, from the Beatles to Eminem and from Natalie Cole to Britney Spears have all been enjoyed by people around the world, even for people who dont speak English, and even for people who speak zero English.From my experience, some people listen to English songs for 20-30 years but still dont achieve any good English skills. Some people choose English songs to be their main learning method, but most of them fail.Listening to English songs does not help you to speak English fluently. It does help you gain some vocabulary, but most of these words are unusual ones that you dont use in everyday life. You wont learn the sentence “It is a difficult project. We really need to meet the deadline.” in any English songs. All you will hear are love, passion, affection, hate and blue, for the feeling, not the color.People like using English songs to practice English skills because its easy and enjoyable. They think that sitting in the car listening to English songs day after day will improve their English skills. It actually will not.You will definitely not improve your listening skills because normal people dont speak with a tune. People dont talk like Eminems songs. You cant get yourself familiar with English pronunciation or accent just from listening to English songs. The words that they pronounce in the songs are not the words that you will hear in your everyday life. They can even confuse you more about how English is pronounced.I would fully encourage you to watch English movies and listen to radio news or other normal talks, but not music. Of course, you can consume it for fun but not with the aim of improving your English skills. Having good English skills is not that easy. Remember you should work hard to improve your English step by step.46.

Many people are superstitious about numbers. They think that there are lucky numbers and unlucky numbers. The number 13 is often considered unlucky. In some parts of the world, buildings have no 13th floor and streets have no houses with the number 13. In Japan, “4” is considered unlucky because in Japanese the word “four” is pronounced the same as the word “death”. The Japanese never give gifts of four knives, four napkins, or four of anything.What are the lucky numbers? Seven is a lucky number in many places, and “8” is considered a lucky number in Japan and China. In China, businesses often open on August 8, and many couples register to get married at eight past eight on August 8. Superstitions about numbers are so widespread that some people - called numerologists - make a living by giving advice about numbers. In 1937, when the Toyoda family of Japan wanted to form a car pany, they asked a numerologist if “Toyoda” would be a good name for the pany. The numerologist said it would not be. He explained that “Toyota” would be a better name for the pany. The family took his advice. As a result, millions of people drive “Toyotas” and not “Toyodas.” There are many other kinds of superstitions. There are superstitions about eating, sleeping, sneezing and itching. There are superstitions about animals and holidays and horseshoes.There are even superstitions about superstitions. Those superstitions tell people how to reverse bad luck. When the Japanese bump heads, they immediately bump heads again. According to a Japanese superstition, the first bump means their parents will die, but the second bump “erases” the first bump. To reverse bad luck in general, people turn around three times, turn their pockets inside out, or put their hats on backwards.In the United States, baseball players sometimes wear their caps backwards when their team is losing. It looks silly, but the baseball players do not mind if it helps them win the game.51.

( C ) Of all the animals in the animal kingdom, which one (aside from man) is the cleverest? There are several ways of measuring the intelligence of animals. In one test a scientist sets three same cans on a table. While the animal watches, he puts food under one of the cans. Then he leads the animal away. Some time later, he brings it back to see if it remembers which can has the food. No smelling is allowed; the animal must go directly to the correct can or it fails. This is called a delayed-response test. The idea is to find out how long an animals memory can keep information. The scientists would try showing the cans to the animal one hour later, or two hours later, or even a full day later. They discovered that chimpanzees and elephants have the best memory, and were able to remember the correct can for at least twenty hours. No other animal is close. Dogs came next, but they only remember for nine hours. To settle the matter, the scientists designed a huge maze (迷宫) and ran the chimps and elephants through it. The maze was very difficult, with many blind paths and dead ends. It took the chimps ten minutes to find their way out. The elephants needed half an hour. Even allowing for the elephants slower rate of speed, the test shows that chimpanzees are the cleverest animals. From this and other tests, the scientists drew the following conclusion: an animals intelligence depends on the size of its brain in proportion (比例) to the size of its body. The elephants brain weighs ten pounds. But this is only 1/600th of its 6,000 pounds body. A chimps brain weighs about one pound, or 1/120th of its total body weight. So in proportion to its body size, the chimp has four times as much brain as the elephant-more brain for less body. The chimp is the champ!56. Which is the best title?A. The Elephants MemoryB. The Cleverest AnimalC. Judging IntelligenceD. The Chimps Brain 57. The main idea of this passage is that _.A. there are several ways of measuring the intelligence of animalsB. chimps and elephants have the best memoryC. intelligence tests show that the chimp is the cleverest animal D. the scientists designed a huge maze and ran the chimps and elephants through it58. The delayed-response test is designed to test an animals _.A. eyesightB. intelligenceC. learning abilityD. memory59. The passage tells that elephants _.A. never forget thingsB. are more clever than chimpsC. are slower-moving than chimpsD. have better memories than chimps60.
