As the only girl in a family of seven children, she often felt like she had “seven fathers,” because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated(躲避) into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school because she was too shy to participate.In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because he thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the universitys Writers Workshop, however, she felt lonely-a Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her “Creative voice.”“It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didnt think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance in my life, but it had everything to do with it! Thats when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldnt write about.”Cisneros published her first work, The House on Mango Street, when she was twenty-nine. The book tells about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish-speaking area in Chicago, much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school through graduate school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a childrens book, and a short-story collection.59. Which of the following is TRUE about Cisneros in her childhood?A. She felt herself a nobody .B. She had seven brothers. C. She was too shy to go to school. D. She did not have any good teachers.60. The graduate program gave Cisneros a chance to _. A. work for a school magazineB. run away from her family C. make a lot of friendsD. develop her writing style61. According to Cisneros, what played the decisive role in her success? A. Her early years in college.B. Her training in the Workshop. C. Her feeling of being different.D. Her childhood experience.62. What do we learn about The House on Mango Street? A. It is quite popular among students. B. It is the only book ever written by Cisneros. C. It wasnt success as it was written in Spanish. D. It won an award when Cisneros was twenty-nine.CMichael Fish may soon be replaced as a weather forecaster by something truly fishier-the shark(鲨鱼).Research by a British biology student suggests that sharks could be used to predict storms. Lauren Smith, 24, is close to pleting her study on sharks ability to sense pressure. If her studies prove the theory, scientists may be able to monitor the behavior of sharks to predict bad weather.Miss Smith had previously studied the behaviour of lemon sharks in the Bahamas.She then used their close relatives, lesser spotted dogfish, for further research at Aberdeen University. Her work-thought to be the first of its kind to test the pressure theory - resulted from the observation that juvenile blacktip sharks off Florida moved into deeper water ahead of a violent storm in xx.Miss Smith said: “Ive always been crazy about traveling and diving and this led me to an interest in sharks.”“I was delighted to have been able to research in the area for my degree. I know theres so much more we need to understand - but it certainly opens the way to more research.”It has been discovered that a shark senses pressure using hair cells in its balance system.At the Bimini Shark Lab in the Bahamas, Miss Smith fixed hi-tech sensors to sharks to record pressure and temperature, while also tracking them using GPS (Global Positioning System) technology.In Aberdeen, she was able to study the effects of tidal(潮汐的) and temperature changes on dogfish-none of which were harmed. She also used a special lab which can mimic(模拟) oceanic pressure changes caused by weather fronts.She is due to plete her study and graduate later this year. She says she will be looking for a job which will give her the chance to enrich her experience of shark research.63.The passage is most probably taken from _.A. a short-story collectionB. a popular science magazineC. a research paperD. a personal diary64 What do we learn from the first four paragraph of the passage?A. Sharks may be used to predict bad weather .B. Sharks behaviour can be controlled.C. Michael Fish is not qualified for his job.D. Lauren Smith will bee a weather forecaster.65. Lauren Smith conducted her research by _. A. removing hair cells from a sharks balance system B. measuring the air pressure of weather fronts C. recording sharks body temperature D. monitoring sharks reaction to weather changes66. What is the passage mainly about? A. A popular way of forecasting weather. B. Biologists interest in the secrets of sharks.C. A new research effort in predicting storms. D. Lauren Smiths devotion to scientific research.DA research shows that humans switch from selfish to unselfish behaviour when they are watched. Do you? A picture of a set of eyes on a puter screen can cause a change in the way people act. Even images of eyes on a charity donation collection box encourage people to be unselfish, because people put more money in a collection box that has a picture of eyes on it than they do when a flower symbol is on the box.Manfred Milinski from the Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Germany and Bettina Rockenbach of the University of Berlin, the authors of a new study, found that people act better when they are being watched because they feel they will be rewarded for good behaviour. Their report also referred to other researches showing that this response of behaving well when watched is somehow coded into humans, and people respond this way unconsciously, or without realising it.It is not just humans that act unselfishly when they are being watched. A fish called the grooming fish cleans other fish. When other fish are around, it is gentler. When no other fish are around, however, the grooming fish bites chunks from the fish it is supposed to be cleaning.The researchers suggest that the best way to get people to behave in the correct way is to make them feel watched. This could be the reason for the success of a famous American army poster. On it was a picture of an elderly man staring fiercely and pointing, it appeared, to the person who was looking at the poster. Under the picture was the caption “I Want You”. It encouraged hundreds of thousands of young American men to join the army during the Second World War to fight the Germans and Japanese.67. The underlined word “coded” (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to . A. hidden B. programmed C. forgotten D. learned68. What is the text mainly about? A. It describes changed behaviour when observed. B. It details ways to control peoples behaviour. C. It tells how to make people work harder. D. It discusses different advertising methods.69. According to the text, which of the following statements is true? A. People pretend to behave better when they are watched. B. Fish bite other fish in a fish tank when they are alone. C. People donate more money when they feel they are watched. D. Soldiers fought better during World War II because of a poster.70. Where would the study described in the text most likely be found? A. In a newspaper. B. In an advertising magazine. C. In a science textbook. D. In a scientific journal.第二节：根据短文内容，从从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项是多余选项。(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)Were raising children!A famous research scientist was being interviewed why he was so much more creative.71 He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his balance and it fell, spilling its contents all the kitchen floora veritable sea of milk!When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of yelling at him, she said , “Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have rarely seen such a huge puddle of milk. 72 Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”Indeed, he did. After several minutes, his mother said,“You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order. 73 We could use a sponge, a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?” He chose the sponge and they cleaned up the spilled milk.His mother then said, “You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle. Lets fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. 74 This scientist remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didnt need to be afraid to make mistakes. 75 Wouldnt it be great if all parents would respond the way Roberts mother responded to him?A. What set him so far apart from others?B. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just opportunities fo
