Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.10 Venus(金星) is known as the earths “twin
7、“ because the two planets are so like each other in size. The diameter of Venus is about 7, 520 miles (12,100 km. ), smaller than that of the earth. No other planet comes closer to the earth than Venus. At its nearest approach it is about 25,000,000 miles (40,2000,000 km. ) away.As seen from the ear
8、th, Venus is the first planet or star that can be seen in the western sky in the evening. At other times, it is the last planet or star that can be seen in the eastern sky in the morning. When Venus is near its brightest point, it can be seen in daylight. Early astronomers called the object that app
9、eared in the evening Hesperus, and Phosphorus in the morning. Later, they realized these two objects were the same planet.

13、cy could be achieved if several people worked together to solve a problem than if only one individual works on it.Although groups often may increase the motivation of their members to deal with problems, there are conflicts arising among members of a group. Problem solving needs the presence of an e
14、ffective leader who not only provides direction, but also permits the orderly, constructive expression of different opinions; much of the leaders effort may be devoted to resolving differences. Success in problem solving also depends on the distribution of ability within a group.Although groups may
15、reach a greater number of correct solutions, or may require less time to discover an answer, their efficiency is typically lower than that achieved by skilled individuals working alone.In brainstorming, a problem is presented to a group of people who then proceed to offer whatever they can think of.
16、 Theoretically these unrestricted suggestions increase the probability that at least some better solutions will appear. Nevertheless, studies show that when individuals work alone under similar conditions, performance tends to proceed more efficiently than it does in groups.Under special circumstanc
17、es, however, a group may solve problems more effectively than a competent individual does. Group members may contribute different resources to a solution that no individual can achieve alone. Sometimes social demands may require group agreement on a single issue, as in making national economic or mi

When only one among several solutions is correct, even if a group requires more time, it has a higher probability of identifying the right one than does an individual alone.16 In a group, problem solving needs_.（A）the presence of an effective leader（B） the best

22、hemselves20 Do we need laws that prevent us from running risks with our lives? If so, then perhaps laws are needed prohibiting the sale of alcoholic drinks.Weve already tried that. For 13 years, between 1920 and 1933, there were no liquor stores anywhere in the United States. They were shut downabol

After January 20, 1920, there was supposed to be no more manufacturing, selling, or transporting of “intoxication liquors. “ Without any more liquor, people could not drink it.
