14、g Comprehens(总题数：0，分数：0.00)Train companies in Tokyo are taking action to reduce the number of people jumping in front of trains. They are fitting blue lights on station platforms to try and create a more calming atmosphere. The East Japan Railway Company has invested almost $170,000 to install the l

15、ights in all of the 29 stations on the capital“s busy Yamanote Line. There has been an alarming rise in the number of people committing suicide at train stations. A total of 68 people threw themselves under trains in the year up to March. This compares with 42 suicides in the same period a year earl

16、ier. In 2008, Japan had nearly 2,000 suicides by jumping in front of a train; around six percent of all suicides nationwide. Suicides have risen sharply in the past decade due to poor economic conditions. No one knows if the blue lights will work. There is no evidence to show that blue light reduces

17、 suicidal feelings. Keihan Railway spokesman Osamu Okawa stated: “We thought we had to do something to save lives. We know there is no scientific proof that blue lights deter suicides, but if blue has a soothing effect on the mind, we want to try it to save lives.“ The Associated Press news agency r

18、eports on a Japanese therapist called Mizuki Takahashi. She explained her reasons why the blue lights might be a good idea: “We associate the color with the sky and the sea. It has a calming effect on agitated people, or people obsessed with one particular thing, which in this case is committing sui

19、cide,“ she said. Other companies are watching this experiment with interest.（分数：12.00）(1).Why blue lights are installed in many train stations?（分数：3.00）A.Because they do not hurt human eyes.B.Because they are cheaper than regular ones.C.Because they can help people at night.D.Because they can reduce

21、d peopleC.only people with trouble in mind need blue colorD.blue color will definitely work to save suicides(4).What is the writer“s attitude toward the experiment? He is _.（分数：3.00）A.interestedB.denyingC.objectiveD.indifferentI was 14 when Mr. Ingram knocked on our farmhouse door in Sacred Heart, O

22、kla. The old farmer lived about a mile down the road and needed help cutting grass. It was the first time I was actually paid for work- about 12 cents an hour, not bad when you consider it was 1939, a time when there was little business activity. Mr. Ingram liked the job I did and ended up hiring me

23、 to dig potatoes. I even helped when a baby cow was being born. One day he found an old truck that was stuck in the soft, sandy soil of the melon(瓜)field. It was full of melons that someone had tried to steal before their truck got stuck. Mr. Ingram explained that the truck“s owner would be returnin

24、g soon, and he wanted me to watch and lean. It wasn“t long before a man from a nearby village, who had a terrible reputation(名声)for fighting and stealing, showed up with his two full-grown sons. They looked very angry. Calmly Mr. Ingram said,“Well,I see you want to buy some watermelons.“ There was a

25、 long silence before the man answered,“Yeah,I guess so. What are you getting for them?“ “Twenty-five cents each.“ “Well. I guess that would be fair enough if you help me get my truck out of here.“ It turned out to be our biggest sale of the summer,and an unpleasant,perhaps unfortunate,incident had b

26、een prevented. After they left,Mr. Ingram smiled and said to me,“Son,if you don“t forgive(原谅)your enemies, you“re going to run out of friends.“ Mr. Ingram died a few years later,but I have never forgotten him or what he taught me on my first job.（分数：9.00）(1).Which of the following best explains “end

29、s about 12 I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by week her list grew: I was skinny, I wasn“t a good student, I was boyish, I talked too loud, and so on. I put up with her as long as I could. At last, with great anger, I ran to my father in tears. He listened to my out

30、burst quietly. Then he asked, “Are the things she says true or not?“ True? I wanted to know how to strike back. What did truth have to do with it? “Mary, didn“t you ever wonder what you are really like? Well, you now have that girl“s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the po

31、ints that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.“ I did as he directed and discovered to my surprise that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn“t change (like being skinny), but a good number I could and suddenly wanted to change. For the first time in my life I go

32、t a fairly clear picture of myself. I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That“s just for you,“ he said. “You know better than anybody else the truth about yourself, once you hear it. But you“ve got to learn to listen, not to close your ears in anger or hurt. When something said

33、about you is true you“ll know it. You“ll find that it will echo inside you.“ Daddy“s advice has returned to me at many important moments.（分数：12.00）(1).What did the girl“s enemy like to do?（分数：3.00）A.Talking with her.B.Pointing out her weak points.C.Reporting to the teacher.D.Quarrelling with her.(2)

44、BavyCare and DoctorsC.American Company ModelD.Educational Toys On ChallengeThe intelligence test used most often today are based on the work of a Frenchman, Alfred Binet. In 1905, Binet was asked by the French Ministry of Education to develop a way to identify those children in French schools who we

45、re too “mentally deficient (不足的)“ to benefit from ordinary schooling and who needed special education. The tests had to distinguish those who were merely behind in school from those who were actually mentally deficient. The items that Binet and his colleague Theophile Simon included on the test were

46、 chosen on the basis of their ideas about intelligence. Binet and Simon believed intelligence includes such abilities as understanding the meaning of words; solving problems, and making commonsense judgements. Two other important assumptions also shaped Binet“s and Simon“s work: (1) that children wi

47、th more intelligence will do better in school and (2) that older children have a greater ability than younger children. Binet“s first test consisted of thirty tasks. They were simple things most children learn as a result of their everyday experiences. The tasks were arranged in groups, according to

48、 age. Binet decided which tasks were appropriate for a given age group by giving them first to a large number of children of different ages. If more than half of the children of a given age passed a test, it was considered appropriate for that age group.（分数：12.00）(1).The main purpose of this passage
