15、.00）填空项 1:_八、Part Reading Compr(总题数：0，分数：0.00)Why dont birds get lost on their long migratory flight? Scientists have puzzled over this question for many years. Now theyre beginning to fill in the blanks.Not long ago, experiments show that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. B

16、ut what about birds that fly mainly by night? Tests with artificial stars have proved conclusively that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights.One such bird-a warbler-had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky. Yet it show

17、ed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The birds cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky at migration time. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of the make-believe stars caused a change in the direction

18、 of his flight. Scientists think that warblers, when flying in daylight, use the sun for guidance.But the stars are apparently their principle means of navigation. What do they do when the stars are hidden by clouds? Apparently, they find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coastlines, a

19、nd river courses. But when its too dark to see these, the warblers circle helplessly, unable to get their bearings.（分数：5.00）(1).Birds dont get lost on their migratory flights, and the reasons _.A) have been known to scientists for years B) have only recently been discoveredC) are known by everyone D

23、Surprisingly, there is a relationship between sea salt and the making of rain drops. Most of the water droplets that make up clouds are formed around small, solid particles. In order to fall as rain, the cloud droplets have to increase in size. Clouds from which rain does not fall have droplets that

24、 are fairly uniform in size. Clouds that produce rain have some droplets that are much larger than others.The production of rain depends on the presence of the large droplets that grow in size by coalescence (a fusing together). There is evidence to support the theory that a particle of sea salt ser

25、ves as the nucleus (核，核心) or center, around which the larger droplets form. Most of the sea salt probably enters the atmosphere from, bubbles that form on the surface of the sea. When the bubbles break, a tiny, even microscopic, droplet of salt water is cast into the air. Once in the atmosphere, the

26、 microscopic piece of salt collects water vapor from the air. The water vapor then condenses on the particle of salt. The moisture absorbed by the salt particles, dissolves the salt, thus leaving only a slightly salty cloud droplet.Cloud droplet, formed from condensation of salt particles of dust pa

27、rticles. The reason is that salt particles are usually larger than dust particles. Their larger size is instrumental (有作用的)in making the single rain droplet grow by coalescence with smaller droplets. Since low level clouds dont rise high enough to produce ice crystals as a source of condensation, it

28、 most likely is the salt particles that cause them to become rain clouds.（分数：5.00）(1).Rain clouds are characterized primarily by _.A) dust particles B) droplets that are uniform in sizeC) droplets that are large and small D) bubbles（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The passage implies that, in order for rain to

29、fall, its necessary for water vapor to _.A) turn to ice crystals B) collect on solid particles and condenseC) condense on salt particles D) rise above the lower level of clouds（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Coalescence, as it is described in the Second paragraph of the passage, is a process in which droplets

30、of water _.A) evaporate B) Condense C) fuse together D) dissolve（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The word “microscopic“ (Paragraph 2) could be replaced by which of the following?A) Minute. B) Massive. C) Middle. D) Attractive.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A) How a

38、 or Quality-orientedAt present there exists side by side two contradictory educational systems: the traditional exam-oriented system and the new quality-oriented one, which leads to a heated nationwide discussion as to which is preferable.The exam-oriented educational pattern is the inevitable (不可避免

39、的) result of the existing exam assessment (评估) system. In order to climb into the “ivory tower“ or work for their degrees, students are cramming data and facts only for exams and forget all the information right after the exams. Whats worse, when students become interested in testing techniques, the

40、y gradually lose their freedom and creativity. As a result, they always bury themselves in multiple choices and never attach importance to practical ability and originality (独创性).In contrast, the quality-oriented educational pattern stresses the creativity of students and their all-round development

41、. Students are not expected to memorize information mechanically and passively as computers. Instead, they are encouraged to do some creative work actively and independently as the programmers of computers. In this pattern, what students aim at is no longer their academic performances, but their pra

42、ctical abilities.No doubt, what the new quality-oriented pattern aims to train and bring up are not merely learners successful in studies, but responsible citizens fit in health, rich in knowledge and competent in their work.
