Some features of the television business D. NBC SportsBBeijing (Oct. 15)China is going green. In order to reduce air pollution and oil shortages, carmakers have announced their plans to develop hybrid vehicles(混合燃料汽车) for the Chinese market. The first China made Toyotas hybrid car Prius hit the road last week. Lets have a look at the new car. Any vehicle is a hybrid when it bines two or more sources of power. Hybrid cars use an electric motor with rechargeable batteries(充电电池) and a gasoline engine. A hybrid car has a smaller than traditional gasoline engine and an electric motor. The gasoline engine provides 99 per cent of the power when the car is cruising(匀速行车)。 The electric motor provides extra power for running up hills or when extra acceleration(加速度) is needed. Step into a Prius, and turn on the power. The first thing you notice is that it is quieter than a traditional car. At this point, the cars gasoline engine is dormant. The electric motor will provide power until the car reaches about 24km/h. If you stay at low speed, you are effectively driving an electric car, with no gasoline being used, and no exhaust gas given off. An onboard puter decides when to use the gasoline engine, when to go electric, and when to use a bination of the two. If you go over 24km/h, when you step on the gas pedal(油门), you are telling the puter how fast you want to go. The electric motor recharges automatically when braking. And when driving at certain speeds, the gasoline engine not only powers the car but also recharges the batteries. When you use the brake, the electric motor acts like a generator(发电机) to produce electricity to recharge the batteries. Batteries will last for around 200,000 miles.25. When the hybrid car is cruising, _. A. only the gasoline engine provides power B. only the electric motor provides power C. there is no need to provide power D. both the gasoline engine and the electric motor provide power26. The underlined word “dormant” means _. A. inactiveB. out of orderC. workingD. nonstop27. Which of the following statements is false according to the text?A. The hybrid car is friendly environmental. B. The hybrid car is able to get itself charged.C. The hybrid car has been made in mass. D. The hybrid car can decide which power to use28. The best title of the text is_.A. Two powered Cars B. Greener Hybrid Motors for ChinaC. Cars of Saving Oil D. Safer Motors at Present CTwo recent studies have found that punishment is not the best way to influence behavior.One showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards. Researchers at Harvard University in the United States and the Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden did the study.They had about two hundred college students play a version of the game known as the Prisoners Dilemma. The game is based on the tension between the interests of an individual and a group. The students played in groups of four. Each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain equally. But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players, at a cost to the punisher. Harvard researcher David Rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation. The groups that rewarded it the most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded it the least. The study appeared last month in the journal Science.The other study involved children. It was presented last month in California at a conference on violence and abuse. Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups. More than eight hundred children were ages two to four the first time they were tested. More than seven hundred children were ages five to nine. The two groups were retested four years later, and the study pared the results with the first test. Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not. The study says the IQs of the younger children who were not punished were five points higher than those who were. In the older group, the difference was almost three points. The more they are punished, the slower their mental development.29According to the first study, we mainly infer that _.Athe game is called Prisoners DilemmaBthe less a group punished itself, the lower its earningsCadults are much more cooperative if rewardedDthe game is introduced in the journal Science30Which of the following is TRUE according to the second study?AChildrens IQs has much to do with physical punishment.BThe study is about violence and abuse of children.CThe children tested were divided into groups of four.DChildrens mental development only relies on their IQs.31What might be the best title for the text?AThe Best Way to Correct Misbehavior.BPunishment Is the Best Way of Education.CCooperation Is the Most Successful Behavior.DPunishment or Reward: Which Works Better on Behavior?DThroughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists. No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change-to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before. Landscape (风景) is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice. Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees. In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background. He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom. Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods. Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings. 32. Leslies paintings are extraordinary because_.A. they are close in style to works in ancient times B. they look like works by 19th-century painters C. they draw attention to mon things in life D. they depend heavily on color photography 33. What is the authors opinion of artistic reality? A. It will not be found in future works of art. B. It does not have a long-lasting standard. C. It is expressed in a fixed artistic form. D. It is lacking in modern works of art. 34. What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph? A. They express peoples curiosity about the past. B. They make people interested in everyday experience. C. They are considered important for variety in form. D. They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.35. Which of the following is the main topic of the passage? A. History of the arts. B. Basic questions of the arts.C. New developments in the arts D. Use of modern technology in the arts第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The job of raising children is a tough one. Children dont e with an instruction manual. And each child is different. So parents sometimes pull their hair out in frustration, not knowing what to do. Naturally then, American parents teach their children basic American values.To Americans, the goal of parents is to help children stand on their own two feet. From infancy, each child may get his or her own room. 36 Teenagers choose their own forms of entertainment, as well as the friends to share them with. When they reach young adulthood, they choose their own careers and marriage partners. The relationship between parents and children in America is very informal. American parents try to treat their children as individuals-not as extensions of themselves. They allow them to fulfill their own dreams. 37. When children bee adults, their relationship with their parents bees more like a friendship among equals. 38 . Mothers have traditionally stayed home with their children. Many Americans have strong feelings about which type of arrangement is best. Some argue that attending a day care center can be a positive experience for children. 39 A number of women are now leaving the work force to bee full-time homemakers.Being a parent is a tall order. 40. So Some people are just deciding not to have children at all, since theyre not sure its worth it. But raising children means training the next generation and preserving our culture. What could be worth more than that?A. Most young couples with children struggle with the issue of childcare.B. Disciplining children is another area that American parents have differing opinions about.C. It takes patience, love, wisdom, courage and a good sense of humor to raise childrenD. As children grow, they gain more freedom to make their own choices. E. Americans praise and encourage their children to give them the confidence to succeed.F.
