But this is true of Nicholas MacMahon, who is now studying at college because he is very clever for school.Nicholas spoke well before he was one. At eighteen months he wrote telephone messages for his parents. At two he began to learn French. The strange thing about Nicholas is that he taught himself to read before he could speak.His parents knew immediately that he could read. When he could speak, he corrected his spelling. He tried two different schools, but he was bored and unhappy and his parents decided that he couldnt stay there, because they did not prepare special lessons for Nicholas. The MacMahons had no idea what to do with him. Then the West London Institute offered to help. Nicholas spends some of his time there, and also studies at home. He reads newspaper every day, and he can play the violin well. He doesnt have any social life. Nicholas is a clever child and the teachers want to help him in every way. We hope he will make much progress.

Bookstores arent exactly full of books of names for your new pet. But dont give up. You might want to pull a few ideas from the following list to see if you can find the perfect name for your new pet. Try some of your favorite books. Why not choose a character from one of these books? What is your favorite novel of all time, for instance? Pick your favorite place in the whole world and choose a name associated with that place. Sometimes even the name of a country will work. If some of your friends have a good sense of humor, choose one of their names and give it to your pet. Or, you can adapt it ever so slightly. If you have children, let your children use their wonderful imaginations. Chances are that they will have plenty of ideas if you go to them as a resource. Its also a nice gift to your children to give them this fun task. One thing to think about is that you will need to train your pet with this name. You want a name that will work well when you are calling the name of your pet time and time again! Names that end in “ie” and “y” are always fun and easy pet names. Ideas include Bonny, Bonnie, Friendly, Susie, Katie, Danny, etc. Yes, some of these names are typical names used for humans. But if you truly love your new pet, what difference does it make? You want, of course, not to offend anyone. If your grandmother is particularly stuffy, perhaps you do not want to name your new pet after her third husband! So youve brought home your new puppy, youve already gone to the pet store to buy a bunch of toys, and its time to name your new animal friend. Be original, have fun, and enjoy the new addition to your family!21.It can be inferred from the passage that.A.naming a new pet is not a difficult task at all B.most children would like to give their pets namesC.when youre naming your new pet, you wont get any help from bookstores D.most elderly people dont like a pet to be named after their husband or wife 22.According to the passage, a good pet name should .

B.Active. C.Boring. D.Optimistic. 【答案与解析】还在为给宠物起名字而发愁吗?读一读这篇文章,你或许会得到一些有益的启示。21.B根据倒数第5段“Its also a nice gift to your children to give them this fun task”可知答案。22.A文章最后一段说,如果你给你的宠物起的名字具有原创性且很有趣,那么你就会更加喜欢你家的新成员。23.B第5段说,如果你的朋友是个很有幽默感的人,那么你也可以用他的名字为你的宠物命名。24.C根据语境,你当然不想因为给宠物起名字而冒犯某人,如果你的奶奶是个古板的、枯燥乏味的人,你最好不要用她第三任丈夫的名字为你的宠物命名。B(Reuters)Australian scientists are gluing tiny sensors onto thousands of honey bees to track their movements in a trial aimed at ending the spread of diseases that have wiped out populations in the northern hemisphere.Scientists at the monwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australias national science agency, said the microchips could help deal with so-called colony collapse disorder, a situation where bees mysteriously disappear from their living places, and the attack of the varroa mite (蜂虱).Scientists will use small tools to glue on the sensors, weighing about 5 milligrams and measuring 2.5 millimeters (a little more than 1/16 of an inch) square, after calming the bees to sleep by refrigeration. Some young bees, which tend to be hairier than older bees, need to be shaved before the sensor can be glued on. Scientists will examine the effectiveness of pesticides in protecting the bees from colony collapse disorder and varroa mite.The study will also enable farmers and fruit growers to understand and manage their crops, given the honey bees important role in the pollination (授粉) of crops globally, the CSIRO said in a statement issued on Wednesday. “Honey bees play a vital role in the landscape through a free pollination service for agriculture, which various crops rely on to increase production,” the CSIROs Paulo de Souza, who is leading the project, said in the statement. “Using this technology, we aim to understand the bees relationship with its environment.” Scientists plan to fit sensors on 5,000 bees in the southern island state of Tasmania over the Australian summer.The radio frequency identification sensors work like an electronic tag for cars on a charged road, recording when insects pass a checkpoint. That will allow scientists to build a three-dimensional image (三维图像) of the insects movements. The scientists are working on shrinking the sensor to 1 mm square so they can be attached to smaller insects, including mosquitoes.25.Why are the young bees shaved according to the passage?A.To glue the sensors on them easily. B.To recognize them easily. C.To get rid of the varroa mite.D.To make them lighter than before.26.What benefit can bees bring farmers and fruit growers according to the passage?A.Managing their crops effectively. B.Increasing crop production. C.Helping to get rid of the pests. D.Preventing pollination service between different crops. 27.What can we know about the sensor?A.It will bee cheaper. B.It will bee smaller.C.It will bee bigger. D.It will be exported.28.Whats the main idea of the passage?A.Bees are being endangered if not rescued by scientists.B.A study on the relationship between bees and the environment. C.Australian scientists microchip bees to map movements, stop diseases.D.New technology being used to stop the spread of colony collapse disorder.【答案与解析】蜂虱是蜜蜂的一种常见病,澳大利亚科学家正在通过向蜜蜂身上安装传感器来跟踪它们和阻止蜂虱的传播。25.A根据第3段可知,小蜜蜂身上多毛,科学家们为了更容易地把传感器粘到它们身上而剃掉他们的体毛。26.B根据第4段“Honey bees play a vital role in the landscape through a free pollination service for agriculture, which various crops rely on to increase production ”可知,授粉对庄稼的生长很重要,而蜜蜂却能免费为庄稼授粉,所以蜜蜂起着至关重要的作用。27.B根据最后一段,文章说这种传感器将应用到像蚊子那样小的昆虫身上,所以其尺寸会变得更小。28.C本文主要讲澳大利亚科学家通过向蜜蜂身上安装传感器来跟踪它们和阻止蜂虱的传播。 CThe Asian carp (鲤鱼), a species of fish brought from China to the US several decades ago, is a growing concern in the midwest state of Illinois. The number of Asian carp in the states waterways has soared in recent years, choking out many native fish species. But state officials hope to solve the problem, and also strike a blow against local hunger, by changing public attitudes towards the fish.Asian carp found in the Illinois River are large, much too plentiful, and, says Travis Loyd, deputy director of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. “Its ugly. The fish is not a pretty fish, ” he said. But Louisiana chef Philippe Parola strongly disagrees. “This fish is just as good-looking as a salmon (鲑鱼) or a lake trout or any others. So quit calling it ugly because its not ugly, its very palatable and very pleasing when you taste it.” he said.Asian carp is widely consumed in China, but most fish-eaters in the United States avoid it because they confuse it with native carp. These fish are bottom-feeders,which makes many people believe they are polluted by poisonous pollutants, including mercury (汞). But Asian carp, which are not really carp at all, feed on plankton (浮游生物) near the surface of rivers and lakes. That is why theyre often seen jumping out of the water.Another reason many Americans avoid eating Asian carp is that it is bony, and hard to sell in fresh fish markets. But Chef Creehan says when the fish is cooked, the bones e out easily, enabling food processors to package it as a ready-to-serve product. Better still, says Creehan: Asian carp is cheap. “The average price per pound of ocean fish is $6 a pound (or about $13 per kilogram) whole. This is looking at 12 to 20 cents (per pound, or about 26 to 40 cents per kilogram). So this is so affordable,” he said.29.Whats the main idea of the passage?A.Misunderstanding of Asian carp. B.Different opinions on Asian carp. C.Solution to Asian carp invasion.Dparison between Asian carp and native carp.30.Whats the writing method of Paragraph 2?A.By giving examples. B.By parison. C.By stressing exceptional cases. D.By giving definition.31.It can be inferred from the passage that. A.Asian carp is poisonous B.Asian carp is not popular in ChinaC.Asian carp will be killed in America D.fish eaters in the United States dont like native carp【答案与解析】本文介绍了亚洲鲤鱼入侵美国水系的情况,本文力劝美国人通过吃掉它们来解决这一问题。29.C根据第1段可以看出,美国水系遭到了亚洲鲤鱼的入侵,为解决这一问题,官员们想改变美国公众对亚洲鲤鱼的态度,以此来解决亚洲鲤鱼入侵的问题。30.B第2段介绍了两种不同的观点,故通过对比的方法进行写作。31.D根据第3段,美国人不喜欢亚洲鲤鱼的原因之一是他们分不清亚洲鲤鱼和当地鲤鱼的区别,他们认为当地鲤鱼生活在水的底层,受到了污染。D The two thingssnow and mountainswhich are needed for a ski area are the two things that cause avalanches (雪崩), large mass of snow and ice crushing down the side of a mountainoften called “White Death”. It was the threat of the avalanche and its record as a killer of man in the western mountains that created the snow ranger (管理员). He first started on avalanche control work in the winter of 193738 at Alta, Utah, in Wasatch National Forest. This mountain valley was being well known to skiers. It was dangerous. In fact, more than 120 persons had lost their lives in 1936 and another 200 died in 1937 as a result of avalanches before it became a major ski area. Thus, development of Alta and other major ski resorts in the west was dependent upon controlling the avalanche. The Forest Service set out to do it, and did, with its teams of snow rangers. It takes many things to make a snow ranger. The snow ranger must be in excellent physical condition. He must be a good skier and a skilled mountain climber. He should have at least a high school education, and the more college courses in geology, physics, and related fields he has, the better. He studies snow, natural features of the ground, wind and weather. He learns the conditions that produce avalanches. He learns to forecast avalanches and to bring them roaring on down the mountainsides to reduce their killing strength. The snow ranger learns to do this by using artillery (炮火的总称), by exploding with TNT, and by the difficult and skillful art of skiing avalanches down. The snow ranger, dressed in a green fur coat which has a bright yellow shoulder patch, means safety for people on ski slopes (斜坡). He uses guns to test snow stability or talks with the ski areas operator as he goes about his work to protect the public from the danger of deep snow on steep mountain slopes.32.A snow ranger himself must be a .A.college graduate B.physicist C.geologist D.mountaineer33.A snow ranger uses very powerful artillery.A.to warn skiers of an approaching avalancheB.to municate with the ski area operatorC.to signal for help in an emergencyD.to create an avalanche34.What is the primary duty of the snow ranger?A.To make sure ski area operators are following safety rules.B.To predict and control avalanches in mountainous areas.C.To check skis and repair them.D.To forecast the weather.35.The passage implies that a snow ranger.A.has a long working dayB.knows how to use a gunC.must write lengthy reports on his workD.may travel many miles when he is on duty【答案与解析】本文主要介绍了雪地管理员这一职业。 32.D根据第5段“He must be a good skier and a skilled mountain climber”可知,雪地管理员应是优秀的登山运动员。33.D根据第6段“He learns to forecast avalanches and to bring them roaring on down the mountainsides to reduce their killing strength”可知 ,雪地管理员要使雪崩沿着山坡轰隆隆地滚下以减少杀伤力。34.B根据第2段和第6段综合可知,为了减少雪崩对人的安全威胁,才产生了“雪地管理员”这一职业。故B项符合题意。35.D第5段中说“雪地管理员必须是身体素质好”,所以暗示他们值班时可能要徒步走好长的路。 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。Have you heard the sentence “No man is an island”? It is a well-known line from John Donnes Devotion, written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. Without other people, life became empty and sad. 36There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegies How to Win Friends and Influence People is the most famous. 37 It was later put into 28 languages. Here is the list of advice from this book:38Always greet with a smile. Begin with “excuse me” or “would you please”, when you want to ask somebody. Remember to say “thank you” and try to be as helpful as you can.Go out of your way to be nice.39 Making some soup for a sick neighbour may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbour feel a lot better.Remember names.They say that the sweetest music to a persons ears is the sound of his or her own name.40Try to understand other peoples ways and ideas and learn something from them.Listen patiently.When someone is talking to you, look at him or her, listen carefully and sa
