They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places t
25、hat are too crowded. When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration (迁移 ) is probably the migration of fish, which is called “salmon“. This fish is born in fresh water but it trave
26、ls many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometime
27、s they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea. Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster (龙虾 ). Every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the
28、 ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go. So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we dont. Maybe living things just like to travel. 55 Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to _. （ A） give bi
29、rth （ B） enjoy warmer weather （ C） find food more easily （ D） find beautiful places 56 The mice in northern Europe move when _. （ A） they give birth （ B） the weather is bad （ C） the place gets too crowded （ D） they havent enough food 57 The lobsters move _. （ A） to the fresh water （ B） to the sea fl
30、oor （ C） at a certain time （ D） to find more food 58 What is the main idea of the passage?. （ A） Animals move in order to find food more easily. （ B） The migration of the fish called “salmon“ is the most famous migration. （ C） Living things move from one place to another because they like to travel.
31、 （ D） Sometimes we know why and how living things move from one place to another, but sometimes we dont. 59 In general, people talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and peo
32、ple who prefer cool colors. The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people, those who like to be with others, like red. The cool colors are green, blue and
33、violet. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue. Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool c
34、olors. He suggests that a warm color, such as red or orange is a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are relaxing or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices of factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly. Researchers
35、do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool. However, almost everyone agrees that red, orange, and yellow are warm and that green, blue, and violet are cool. Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days. Because in the no
36、rth the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow. 59 Which of the following colors belong to cool colors? （ A） Yellow, green, （ B） Blue, violet. （ C） Black, blue. （ D） Brown, white. 60 Which of the following statement is NOT true? （ A） Sociable people like warm colors. （ B
37、） Warm colors can make people excited. （ C） People who like to be with others dont like red. （ D） Where there are warm colors, people want to be active. 61 Which is the right color for different rooms? （ A） Red or orange for offices. （ B） Orange for dining rooms. （ C） Blue for bedrooms. （ D） Red for
38、 studies. 62 What is the main idea of the last paragraph? （ A） ft shows the reason why people think some colors are warm and others are cool. （ B） Warm colors remind people of warm days. （ C） Cool colors remind people of cool days. （ D） People have an agreeable opinion of warm colors and cool colors
39、. 63 Culture determines what kind of thinking is important and what kind is not so important. Learners use the language, tools, and practice their culture to learn concepts. Although students have their individual learning styles, their learning styles are often combined with cultural values. For ex
40、ample, Navajo (North American Indians living in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah) children often learn first by observing and listening. Then, when ready, they continue learning on their own in cooperation with and under the supervision of an adult. In this way, the children learn all the skills they n
41、eed. Navajo children speak very little during this process. In contrast, many African American children learn effectively by acting and performing. They like classroom activities such as oral presentations, role-plays, and dramatic performances. Lots of talking is useful for these students. Another
42、way of learning is through reading and writing. Asian students generally need writing to support their learning, and therefore do well in classes where there is lots of reading and writing. It is common to see Japanese students pay special attention to the spelling of words they have learned. They a
43、re more comfortable seeing new materials than hearing them. Koreans are believed to be the most visual (can be seen) learners. So, although learning styles greatly determine how a person takes in new materials, ones culture also influences how he learns. 63 In this passage _ different cultures are m
44、entioned. （ A） five （ B） three （ C） two （ D） four 64 The underlined part “In contrast“ in this passage means “ _ “. （ A） Instead （ B） Therefore （ C） On the opposite （ D） On the other hand 65 According to the passage, teachers should design some games for _ children. （ A） American black （ B） American
45、 Indian （ C） Chinese （ D） Japanese 66 The passage mainly tells us about _. （ A） the importance of culture （ B） different learning styles （ C） cultural influence upon learning styles （ D） how to teach children from different culture 67 “Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.“ goes the popula
46、r Christmas tune. With the song in my head, I felt a bit sorry for myself. Instead of rushing back and forth across a freezing school campus, I could have had a cozy Christmas dinner at home or enjoyed the fabulous fireworks lighting up campus at night. But this Christmas would not be celebrated as
47、usual. One month ago, all six girls in my dormitory (including me) had made detailed plans for a more-exciting-than-ever Christmas holiday. But one day we received an unusual mission: we were asked to organize a party that would be a fund-raiser for mentally disabled children from the hospital. The
48、children would perform on stage while volunteers offered food to the spectators (观众 ) and collect some money for the organization. Naturally, we were supposed to support the idea wholeheartedly, and we did. But wait-the date of the show was set right on Christmas Eve! This meant that all our origina
49、l Christmas plans would have to be set aside. However, we took the plunge into preparations for the party. We spared no effort in organizing, designing, propagandizing, and so on. We went through thick and thin and finally made it, though with a bit of reluctance. Finally, Christmas Eve arrived. As I dragged myself into the auditorium after another day of hard work, I detected the notes of a beautiful Christmas song that immediately fil
