T

18、hey do not depend on the book or the teacher. Instead of waiting for teachers to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions. 3 Secondly, successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, succ

19、essful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language but . They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things. They are willin

20、g to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word. 4 Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. T

21、hey want to learn the language because they are interested in the language. 5 What kind of language learners are you If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively and purposefully. On the other hand, if your language learning has been less than suc

22、cessful, you might do well to try some of the techniques above. 【小题 1】 What is the main idea of the text？ (Please answer within 10 words.) _ 【小题 2】 Which sentence in the text can be replaced by the following one They make efforts to seek their own ways of learning rather than wait for explanations f

25、k for such a chance 【小题 1】 To be a successful language learner, I will learn more independently, actively and purposefully. 【小题 1】对于那些成功的语言学习者来说 , 学会用所学的语言去思考 ,远比单纯地知道每个单词的意思要重要的多。 The researchers, led by Hwang Woo-suk, insist they cloned an Afghan hound, only to help investigate (研究 ) human disease

26、, including the possibility of cloning stem cells (干细胞 ) for treatment purposes. But others immediately renewed calls for a global ban on human reproductive cloning before the technology moves any farther. “Successful cloning of an increasing number of species confirms the general impression that it

27、 would be possible to clone any species of mammals, including humans,” said Ian Wilmut, a reproductive biologist at the University of Edinburgh who produced the first cloned mammal, Dolly the sheep, from an adult cell nearly a decade ago. Researchers have since cloned cats, goats, cows, mice, pigs,

28、rabbits, horses, deer, mules and gaur, a large wild ox of Southeast Asia. So far, efforts to clone a monkey or another primate with the same techniques have failed. Uncertainties about the health and life span (寿命 ) of cloned animals continue to exsist; Dolly died at a young age in 2003 after develo

29、ping cancer and arthritis. Wilmut and others complimented Hwangs achievement, reported Wednesday in the journal Nature. But they said politicians and scientists must face the larger issue how to go on with the research without crossing the moral boundary of copying human life in the lab. “The abilit

30、y to use the technology is hopeful,” said Robert Schenken, president of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. “However, the paper also points out that in dogs as in most species, cloning for reproductive purposes is unsafe.” The cloned puppy was the lone success from more than 100 dogs imp

31、lanted (嵌入 )with more than 1,000 c loned embryos. In a news conference in Seoul, the cloning team also condemnedthe reproductive cloning of humans as “unsafe and inefficient.” Human reproductive cloning already is banned in South Ko rea. Other nations, including the United States, are divided on whe

32、ther to ban just human cloning or cloning of all kinds, including the production of stem cells. 【小题 1】 An Afghan hound is a kind of _. A cat B dog C cow D goat 【小题 2】 A _ is a large wild ox of Southeast Asia. A horse B deer C mules D gaur 【小题 3】 Accrding to the passage, scientists havent been able t

33、o clone a _ so far. A deer B mule C monkey D mouse 【小题 4】 The underlined word complimented is probably similar in meaning to _. A praised B doubted C refused D gave up 【小题 5】 The cloning of human beings is banned in _. A South Korea B the United States C both South Korea and the United States D neit

34、her South Korea nor the United States 答案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 1】 D 【小题 1】 C 【小题 1】 A 【小题 1】 A Are some people born clever and others born stupid Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences Strangely enough, the answer to both questions is yes.To some extent our intelligence is given

35、 to us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a persons intelligen

36、ce are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways. It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between tw

37、o people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random (随意地 ) from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intellige

38、nt as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that integigence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a unive

39、rsity and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates (表明 ) that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who lives in close contact with each other, but who

40、 are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence. 【小 题 1】 Which of the following best describes the writers point in Paragraph One A To some extent, intelligence is given at birth. B Intelligence is developed by the environment. C Some people are born clever and others bor

41、n stupid. D Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment. 【小题 2】 In the first paragraph,“no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence” suggests that . A no environment can change the least able into the most able B the difference i

42、n mens intelligence depends on the amount of their education C if a person is born clever, he is certain to be a genius D if a person is born stupid, nothing can change him into an educated person 【小题 3】 The last paragraph mainly shows . A the importance of education B the relationship between envir

43、onment and birth C the writers final conclusion D the relationship between intelligence and environment 【小题 4】 The best title for this passage would be . A Dependence on Education B Intelligence C Surroundings D Effect of Education 【小题 5】 Which statement about the passage is true A All twins have si

44、milar degrees of intelligence. B A man who is educated in university must make greater achievements than a man who works in a boring factory. C Proper education can change ones intelligence at some degree. D Education cant make a child born with low intelligence cleverer. 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 1】 A 【小题 1
