16、1 My surprise over the past few winters has been the personality transformation my parents go through around mid-December as they change from Dad and Mom into Grandpa and Grandma. Yes, they become grandparents and are completely different from the people I know the other eleven and a half months of
17、the year.The first sign of my parents change is the delight they take in visiting toy and childrens clothing stores. These two people, who usually dislike anything having to do with shopping malls, become crazy consumers. While they tell me to budget my money and shop wisely, they are buying up ever
18、y doll and dump truck in sight. And this is only the beginning of the holidays!When my brothers children arrive, Grandpa and Grandma come into full form. First they throw out all ideas about a balanced diet for the grandkids. While we were raised in a house where everyone had to take two bites of co
19、rn, beets (甜菜) , or liver (foods that appeared quite often on our table despite constant complaining), the grandchildren never have to eat anything that does not appeal to them. Grandma carries chocolate in her pockets to bribe (贿赂) the littlest ones into following her around the house, while Grandp
20、a offers “surprises“ of candy and cake to them all day long. Boxes of chocolate-pie disappear while the whole-wheat bread get hard and stale. The kids love all the sweets, and when the sugar raises their energy levels, Grandma and Grandpa can always decide to leave and do a bit more shopping or go t
21、o bed while my brother and sister-in-law try to deal with their highly active kids.Once the grandchildren have arrived, Grandma and Grandpa also seem to forget all of the responsibility lectures I so often hear in my daily life. If Mickey screams at his sister during dinner, he is “developing his ow
22、n personality“; if Nancy breaks Grandmas mirror, she is “just a curious child“. But, if I track mud into the house while helping to unload groceries, I become “careless“; if I scold one of the grandkids for tearing pages out of my textbook, I am“ impatient“. If Paula talks back to her mother, Grandm
23、a and Grandpa smile at her spirit. If I say one word about all of this excessive love, Mom and Dad reappear to have a talk with me about petty jealousies.21 As regards his parents shopping for the grandchildren, the author _（A）feels jealous（B） feels amazed（C） thinks it unnecessary（D）thinks it annoyi
24、ng22 What happens after the kids have had all the sweets?（A）They get highly energetic.（B） They quiet down.（C） They want more sweets.（D）They go to bed.23 Which of the following is NOT true of the visiting children?（A）They behave very well.（B） They like chocolate very much.（C） They receive toys from t
25、heir grandparents.（D）They are having a lot of fun.24 It can be inferred from the passage that when the author was a child, he _（A）liked the foods he had（B） got a lot of pocket money（C） was spoiled by his parents（D）was scolded if he misbehaved25 “Personality transformation“ in the authors parents mea
26、ns that they _（A）have turned into loving parents（B） have become strict parents（C） no longer care for the author（D）used to believe in discipline for children26 Children live in a world in which science has tremendous importance. During their lifetimes it will affect them more and more. In time, many
27、of them will work at jobs that depend heavily on science-for example, concerning energy sources, pollution control, highway safety, wilderness conservation, and population growth. As taxpayers they will pay for scientific research and exploration. And, as consumers, they will be bombarded (受到轰击) by
28、advertising, much of which is said to be based on science.Therefore, it is important that children, the citizens of the future, become functionally acquainted with science-with the process and spirit of science, as well as with its facts and principles. Fortunately, science has a natural appeal for
29、youngsters. They can relate it to so many things that they encounter-flashlights, tools, echoes, and rainbows.Besides; science is an excellent medium for teaching far more than content. It can help pupils learn to think logically, to organize and analyse ideas. It can provide practice in communicati
30、on skills and mathematics. In fact, there is no area of the curriculum to which science cannot contribute, whether it is geography, history, language arts, music, or art!Above all, good science teaching leads to what might be called a “scientific attitude“. Those who possess it seek answers through
31、observing, experimenting, and reasoning, rather than blindly accepting the pronouncements of others. They weigh evidence carefully and reach conclusions with caution. While respecting the opinions of others, they expect honesty, accuracy, and objectivity and are on guard against hasty judgments and
32、sweeping generalizations. All children should be developing this approach to solving problems, but it cannot be expected to appear automatically with the mere acquisition of information. Continual practice, through guided participation, is needed.26 One of the reasons why science is important for ch
33、ildren is that many of them will _（A）work in scientific research institutions（B） work at jobs closely related to science（C） make the final decision in matters concerning science（D）be fund-raisers for scientific research and exploration27 There is no doubt that children like learning science because
34、_（A）science is linked with many of the things they meet（B） science is a very easy subject for them to learn（C） they encounter the facts and principles of science daily（D）they are familiar with the process and spirit of science28 Pupils can learn logical thinking while _（A）practicing communication sk
35、ills（B） studying geography（C） taking art courses（D）learning science29 People with a scientific attitude _（A）are ready to accept the pronouncements of others（B） tend to reach conclusions with certainty（C） are aware that others are likely to make hasty judgments（D）seek truth through observation, exper
36、imentation and reasoning30 In the passage the writer seems to _（A）prove that science is a successful course in school（B） point out that science as a course is now poorly taught in school（C） suggest that science should be included in the school curriculum（D）predict that children who learn science wil
37、l be good scientists31 The average number of authors on scientific papers is sky-rocketing. Thats partly because labs are bigger, problems are more complicated, and more different subspecialties are needed. But its also because U.S. government agencies have started to promote “team science“. As phys
38、ics developed in the post-World War II era, federal funds built expensive national facilities, and these served as surfaces on which collaborations could crystallize naturally.Yet multiple authorshiphowever good it may be in other ways-presents problems for journals and for the institutions in which
39、 these authors work. For the journals, long lists of authors are hard to deal with in themselves. But those long lists give rise to more serious questions when something goes wrong with the paper. If there is research misconduct, how should the liability be allocated among the authors? If there is a
40、n honest mistake in one part of the work but not in others, how should an evaluator aim his or her review?Various practical or impractical suggestions have emerged during the long-standing debate on this issue. One is that each author should provide, and the journal should then publish, an account o
41、f that authors particular contribution to the work. But a different view of the problem, and perhaps of the solution, comes as we get to university committee on appointments and promotions, which is where the authorship rubber really meets the road. Half a lifetime of involvement with this process h
42、as taught me how much authorship matters. I have watched committees attempting to decode sequences of names, agonize over whether a much-cited paper was really the candidates work or a coauthors, and send back recommendations asking for more specificity about the division of responsibility.Problems
43、of this kind change the argument, supporting the case for asking authors to define their own roles. After all, if quality judgments about individuals are to be made on the basis of their personal contributions, then the judges better know what they did. But if questions arise about the validity of t
44、he work as a whole, whether as challenges to its conduct or as evaluations of its influence in the field, a team is a team, and the members should share the credit or the blame.31 According to the passage, there is a tendency that scientific papers _（A）are getting more complicated（B） are dealing wit
45、h bigger problems（C） are more of a product of team work（D）are focusing more on natural than on social sciences32 One of the problems with multiple authorship is that it is hard _（A）to allocate the responsibility if the paper goes wrong（B） to decide on how much contribution each reviewer has made（C）
46、to assign the roles that the different authors are to play（D）to correspond with the authors when the readers feel the need to33 According to the passage, authorship is important when _（A）practical or impractical suggestions of the authors are considered（B） appointments and promotions of the authors
47、are involved（C） evaluators need to review the publication of the authors（D）the publication of the authors has become much-cited34 According to the passage, whether multiple authors of a paper should be taken collectively or individually depends on _（A）whether judgments are made about the paper or it
48、s authors（B） whether it is the credit or the blame that the authors need to share（C） how many authors are involved in the paper（D）where the paper has been published35 The best title for the passage can be _（A）Writing Scientific Papers: Publish or Perish（B） Collaboration and Responsibility in Writing
49、 Scientific Papers（C） Advantages and Disadvantages of Team Science（D）Multiple Authors, Multiple Problems36 Diego Chiapello, legally blind since birth, isnt one of Italys famous “mamas boys“ who live with their parents into adulthood.
