Some animals grow hea
9、vy coats of fur or feathers, while others dig into the ground to find a warm wintertime home. Some animals spend the winter in a deep sleep because by going to sleep they avoid the time of the year when food is scarce and the temperatures are low. Their sleep is known as hibernation . There is much
10、about hibernation that puzzles scientists. For example, they are wondering how hibernation came into being. Some scientists have explored the possibility that animals release a chemical that starts them hibernating. One thing that scientists are certain about is that animals hibernate only when it i
11、s cold. Hibernation is a seasonal practice. Some animals that fall into a wintertime sleep are not true hibernators because they spend only a part of the cold season asleep. Bears, for example, can easily be awakened from their winter nap. They are not true hibernators. Sometimes it is difficult to
12、determine whether a particular animal is a true hibernator. For example, some mice hibernate, but others do not. The same is true of bats. Some of them hibernate. Other do not.（分数：8.00）(1).Hibernation is a seasonal practice. This means it _.（分数：2.00）A.takes place only during a particular seasonB.occ
13、urs only during the nightC.is a daily practiceD.only happens when a species becomes over-populated(2).Some scientists believe that hibernation is started by _.（分数：2.00）A.over-eatingB.calcium depositsC.a body chemicalD.a lack of water(3).The underlined word “hibernation“ in paragraph 1 means _.（分数：2.
14、00）A.a sleep to avoid eatingB.a temperature in cold weatherC.a sleep in the cold seasonD.an animal to practice sleep in winter(4).The main idea of this passage is that _.（分数：2.00）A.many animals die during hibernationB.hibernation protects animals during the wintertimeC.scientists feel puzzled about
15、hibernationD.some bats hibernate and others do notThe strange close understanding between twins is a familiar enough phenomenon. Often they seem to understand each other and share each others emotions to such an extent that one suspects some kind of thought communication. What is not so widely known
16、 is that this special relationship often acts as brake on twins intellectual development. As they are partly isolated in their own private world, twins communicate less with adults than do other children. The verbal ability of a four-year-old twin is typically six months behind that of a non-twin. T
17、he problem can be particularly severe in an underprivileged family, a one-parent family for example, where there is little stimulation for children anyway. Such children, while capable of mutual comprehension in a private language, often remain incomprehensible to outsiders and thus at a severe educ
18、ational disadvantage. The only solution to the problem, cruel though it may seem, is to separate the twins thus forcing them to acquire ordinary speech helped and guided by sympathetic parents and teachers.（分数：8.00）(1).Many people dont know that _.（分数：2.00）A.twins understand each other very wellB.tw
19、ins are slow to learn to talkC.twins are unlikely to do less well at school than other childrenD.there exists more communication between twins(2).Whats the reason for twins to be at a disadvantage in their intellectual development?（分数：2.00）A.They can only understand their own private language.B.They
20、 communicate with outsiders less than non-twins.C.There is little stimulation for them.D.Adults dont like to talk with them.(3).The author probably feels that twins problem _.（分数：2.00）A.can not be solved because solution is very cruelB.can be solved because twins will be separatedC.can not be solved
21、 unless the twins are forced to live in an ordinary environmentD.can be solved if the adults communicate with them more often(4).The writer mentions all of the items listed below EXCEPT _.（分数：2.00）A.twins can help each otherB.twins share each others emotionC.twins are able to understand each other i
22、n a private languageD.twins communicate less with their parentsThe 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 were too “ment
23、ally 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 chosen on t
24、he 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 Binets and Simons work: (1) that children with more intell
25、igence will do better in school and (2) that older children have a greater ability than younger children. Binets 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 age. Binet dec
26、ided 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：8.00）(1).The main purpose of this passage is to _.（分数：2.0
27、0）A.tell the origin of intelligence testsB.explain the basic principle of intelligence testsC.describe the changes in the content of intelligence testsD.state the development of intelligence tests(2).What was the purpose of the intelligence test designed by Alfred Binet in 1905?（分数：2.00）A.To select

29、ildren usually do better in school.C.The French Ministry of Education was charged with the development of first intelligence tests.D.Intelligence is related with age.(4).How did Binet decide which task to include on his first test?（分数：2.00）A.He first worked out thirty tasks for mentally deficient ch
30、ildren.B.He first gave all the tasks to many children both younger and older.C.He first gave the tasks to many children he thought appropriate.D.He first gave some of the tasks to different groups of children.How men first learned to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is
31、 a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those
32、sounds and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters, we call words. The power of words, then, lies in their associationsthe things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain w
33、ords recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions
34、. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary(文字的) style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words care
35、fully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and rude.（分数：8.00）(1).The origin of language _.（分数：2.00）A.is a legend handed down from the pastB.is reflected in sounds and lettersC.dates back to the prehistoric periodD.is a problem not yet solved(2).One of the reasons why men inven
36、ted certain sounds to express thoughts and actions is that _.（分数：2.00）A.they could agree upon certain signsB.they could write them downC.they could communicate with each otherD.they could combine them(3).What is true about words?（分数：2.00）A.They are used to express feelings only.B.They can not be wri
37、tten down.C.They are represented either by sounds or letters.D.They are visual letters.(4).The real power of words exists in their _.（分数：2.00）A.accuracyB.beautyC.charmD.representative functionIt is customary for adults to forget how hard and dull and long school is. The learning by memory of all the
38、 basic things one must know is a most incredible and unending effort. Learning to read is probably the most difficult and revolutionary thing that happens to the human brain and if you dont believe that, watch an illiterate adult try to do it. School is not easy and it is not for the most part very
39、much fun, but then, if you are very lucky, you may find a real teacher. Three real teachers in a lifetime is the very best of my luck. My first was a science and math teacher in high school, my second, a professor of creative writing at Stanford, and my third was my friend and partner, Ed Ricketts.
40、My three had these things in common: They all loved what they were doing. They did not tell; they catalyzed a burning desire to know. Under their influence, the horizons sprung wide and fear went away and the unknown became knowable. But most important of all, the truth, that dangerous stuff, became
41、 beautiful and very precious. I shall speak only of my first teacher because in addition to the other things, she brought discovery. She aroused us to shouting, book-waving discussions. She had the noisiest class in school and she didnt even seem to know it. We could never stick to the subject. Our
42、speculation ranged the world. She breathed curiosity into us so that we brought in facts or truths shielded in our hands like captured fireflies. I can tell my son who looks forward with horror to fifteen years of drudgery that somewhere in the dusty dark a magic may happen that will light up the ye
