8、question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 To find out what the weather is going to be, most people go straight to the radio, television or newspaper to get an expert weather forecast. But if you know what to look for, you can use your own senses t
9、o make weather predictions.There are many signs which can help you. For example, in fair weather the air pressure is generally high. The air is still and often full of dust. Faraway objects may look hazy. But when a storm is brewing, the pressure drops and you are often able to see things more clear
10、ly. Sailors took note of this long ago and came up with a saying “The farther the sight, the nearer the rain. “Your sense of smell can also help you detect weather changes. Just before it rains, odors become stronger. This is because odors are repressed in a fair, high-pressure center. When a bad we
11、ather low moves in, air pressure lessens and odors are released.You can also hear an approaching storm. Sounds bounce off heavy storm clouds and return to earth with increased force. An old saying describes it this way: “ Sounds traveling far and wide, a storm day will betide. “And dont scoff if you
12、r grandmother says she can feel a storm coming.

At the same time, there is no question that social class is important factor in how children are raised and the kind o
16、f adults that children become. Regarding social class, sociologists have found that parents socialize their children into the behaviors and norms of their work worlds. Members of the working class are closely supervised and are expected to follow explicit rules at their jobs. If they do not follow t
17、he precise rules and do as they are told, they will not keep their jobs. Their experience influences how they deal with their children. As a result, their concern is less with their childrens motivations and more with their childrens outward conformity. Thus they are more apt to use physical punishm
18、ent in managing their children. On the other hand, middle-class parents, who are expected to take more initiative on the job, are more concerned that their children develop curiosity, self-expression, and self-control. They are also more likely to withdraw privileges or affection than to use physica
19、l punishment.25 The word “explicit“ means_.（A）vague（B） difficult（C） confusing（D）clearly defined26 According to this passage, working-class parents are more likely than middle-class parents to_.（A）use physical punishment for discipline（B） have children who finish college（C） have children who are out

Some, such as ho
22、rses and oxen, provide transportation and power to pull machinery. Livestock gaze on about 40 percent of the United States land area.Cattle provide meat, hides and dairy products. Beef and dairy cattle account for about a third of all farm income in the U. S. Farms in the Midwest and sprawling ranch
23、es in the West raise most of the countrys beef cattle. The main Dairy Belt in the U. S. extends through the Northern states from New England to Minnesota. Eastern dairy farmers in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa sell most of their milk to companies that make butter, cheese and evaporated milk.Hogs gro
24、w rapidly and provide meat and materials used to make many products. Hogs thrive on corn, and farmers in the Corn Belt of the Midwest raise more than two-third of U. S. hogs.Sheep and goats supply man with meat, wool and skins for leather. They are hardy animals that live well on poor grazing land.P
25、oultry includes chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys and other birds raised for meat or eggs. Many farmers keep small flocks of chickens to supply their families with eggs and meat. But some U. S. farmers specialize in raising large flocks of meat or egg-laying chickens. They use scientific breeding and

28、rred and whispered in awe as, on the stage, the horse slowly tapped out the beat. Everyone became tense and quiet as the number of taps neared the correct answer to the horse trainers question. After the final tap, the horse paused, seemed to look around and stopped. The crowd went wild!The horses n
29、ame was Clever Hans, the Educated Horse, and was featured in a vaudeville(杂耍 )act in the early 1900s, in Europe. When asked a complicated mathematical question by his owner, Clever Hans would tap out the correct answer with his hooves. For example, if the answer was sixty-eight, Hans would tap out s
30、ix with his left hoof and eight with his right hoof. Even more remarkable, the owner would leave the room after asking the question, so there could be no secret signal between owner and horse. A mere animal seemed to be accomplishing a highly technical skill of mans!It wasnt until years later that t
31、he secret of the trick was revealed. The owner had trained Clever Hans to respond to slight signals. The horse became so sensitive that he learned when to stop from the crowds reaction. Members of the audience would start involuntarily, or give some unconscious signal, when Hans reached the right an
32、swer.

Well, pine trees are the quickest growing trees, but still, they take twenty years to reach a size suitable for cutting and harvesting. An oak takes abo
35、ut sixty years to grow to a good size. A redwood may take hundreds of years.Lumber companies, which make their money on trees, depend on those that grow quickly. Therefore, they are always looking for methods to make trees grow faster. So far, the secret to fast growing trees seems to lie in “ super
36、-seeds. “ These are seeds that are gathered from the quickest growing trees in a forest. One company searched 100,000 acres of trees and selected the seeds from just fifteen trees. These two ounces of seed were enough to plant several hundred new trees. Eventually, when these trees have grown, seeds
37、 will again be taken only from the fastest growing trees of crop. This process of artificial selection will yield, in the future, a super-tree that will grow in half the time it takes normal trees to develop.Unfortunately, it takes a long time for a plan like this to reach its goal. The Weyerhauser
38、Lumber Corporation, which started its first collection of seed in 1958, is just now beginning to harvest the super-seeds of the first generation of the faster growing trees.37 This selection centers on_.（A）the life span of trees（B） the age of redwoods（C） making trees grow quickly（D）cutting trees for
39、 lumber38 Trees that grow faster are developed by_.（A）planting many trees and fertilizing them（B） collecting seeds from strong, slow growing trees（C） selecting the seeds of the fastest growing trees（D）feeding them high-energy plant foods39 Super-trees_.（A）will be a great benefit to lumber companies（
