19、at can accompany those rains, its still important for parents to be able to answer the youthful questions about thunder and lightning.The reason these two wonders of nature are so difficult for many adults to explain to children is that they are not very well understood by adults themselves. For exa
20、mple, did you know that the lightning we see flashing down to the earth from a cloud is actually flashing up to a cloud from the earth? Our eyes trick us into thinking we see a downward motion when its actually the other way around. But then, if we believed only what we think we see, wed still insis
21、t that the sun rises in the morning and sets at night.Most lightning flashes take place inside a cloud, and only a relative few can be seen jumping between two cloud or between earth and a cloud. But, with about 2, 000 thunderstorms taking place above the earth every minute of the day and night, the
22、res enough activity to produce about 100 lightning strikes on earth every second.Parents can use thunder and lightning to help their children learn more about the world around them. When children understand that the light of the lightning flashing reaches their eyes almost at the same moment, but th
23、e sound of the thunder takes about 5 seconds to travel just one mile, they can begin to time the interval between the flash and the crash to learn how close they were to the actual spark.41 It can be concluded from the passage that_.（A）we should not believe what we see or hear（B） things moving downw
24、ard are more noticeable（C） people often have wrong concepts about ordinary phenomena（D）adults are not as good as children in observing certain natural phenomena42 What is TRUE about lightning according to the passage?（A）Only a small number of lightning flashes occur on earth.（B） Lightning travels 5
25、minutes faster than thunder.（C） Lightning flashes usually jump from one cloud to another.（D）There are far more lightning strikes occurring on earth than we imagine.43 According to the author, in the area of the Central Valley, _.（A）rains usually come without thunder and lightning（B） it is usually dr
26、y in April（C） children pay no attention to natural phenomena（D）parents are not interested in thunder and lightning44 The word “activity“(Para. 3, Line 4)is most closely related to the word(s)（A）cloud（B） lightning strikes（C） lightning flashes（D）thunderstorms45 We believe that lightning is a downward
27、notion because_.（A）we were taught so by our parents from our childhood（B） we are deceived by our sense of vision（C） it is a common natural phenomenon（D）it is a truth proved by science45 Most people would agree that, although our age exceeds all previous ages in knowledge, there has been no correspon
28、ding increase in wisdom. But Agreement ceases as soon as we attempt to define “wisdom“ and consider means of promoting it.There are several factors that contribute to wisdom. Of these I should put first a sense of proportion; the capacity to take account of all the important factors in a problem and
29、 to attach to each its due weight. This has become more difficult than it used to be owing to the extent and complexity of the special knowledge required of various kinds of technicians. Suppose, for example, that you are engaged in research in scientific medicine. The work is difficult and is likel
30、y to absorb the whole of your mind. You have no time to consider the effect which your discoveries or inventions may have outside the field of medicine. You succeed(let us say)as modern medicine has succeeded, in enormously lowering the infant death-rate, not only in Europe and America, but also in
31、Asia and Africa. This has the entirely unintended result of making the food supply inadequate and lowing the standard of life in the parts of the world that have the greatest populations. To take an even more dramatic example, which is in everybodys mind at the present time; you study the make up of
32、 the atom from a disinterested(无利害关系的)desire for knowledge, and by chance place in the hands of a powerful mad man the means of destroying the human race.Therefore, with every increase of knowledge and skill, wisdom becomes more necessary, for every such increase augments(增强)our capacity for realizi
33、ng our purposes, and therefore augments our capacity for evil, if our purpose are unwise.46 What is the main idea of the passage?（A）It is unwise to place the results of scientific research in the hands of a powerful mad man.（B） The more knowledge one has, the wiser one becomes.（C） Any increase of kn
34、owledge could lead to disastrous results without the guidance of wisdom.（D）Wisdom increases in proportion to ones age.47 The author uses the examples in the passage to illustrate his point that_.（A）its extremely difficult to consider all the important elements in problem（B） success in medical resear
35、ch has its negative effects（C） scientists may unknowingly cause destruction to the human race（D）its unwise to be totally absorbed in research in scientific medicine48 Disagreement arises when people try to decide_.（A）how much more wisdom we have now than before（B） what wisdom is and how to develop i
36、t（C） if there is a great increase of wisdom in our age（D）whether wisdom can be developed or not49 Lowering the infant death-rate may .（A）prove to be helpful everywhere in the world（B） give rise to an increase in population in Europe（C） cause food shortages in Asia and Africa（D）raise the living stand
37、ard of the people in Africa50 According to the author, “wisdom“ is the ability to_.（A）carefully consider the bad effects of any kind of research work（B） give each important problem some careful consideration（C） acquire a great deal of complex and special knowledge（D）give suitable consideration to al
38、l the possible elements in a problem50 It is everyone agrees, a huge task that the child performs when he learns to speak, and the fact that he does so in so short a period of time challenges explanation.Language learning begins with listening. Individual children vary greatly in the amount of liste
39、ning they do before they start speaking, and late starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey“ spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word obey is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they
40、can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.Any attempt to trace the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few mont
41、hs one or two noises sort themselves out as particularly indicative of delight, distress, sociability, and so on. But since these cannot be said to show the babys intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they pl
42、ay with sounds for enjoyments, and that by six months they are able to add new sounds to their repertoire(能发出的全部声音). This self-imitation leads on to deliberate(有意识的)imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that the
43、se imitations can be considered as speech.51 The best title for this passage would be_.（A）How Babies Learn to Speak（B） Early Forms of Language（C） A Huge Task for Children（D）Noise Making and Language Learning52 By “. challenges explanation“(Line 2, Para. 1)the author means that_.（A）no explanation is
44、necessary for such an obvious phenomenon（B） no explanation has been made up to now（C） its no easy job to provide an adequate explanation（D）its high time that an explanation was provided53 The authors purpose in writing the second paragraph is to show that children_.（A）usually obey without asking que
45、stions（B） are passive in the process of learning to speak（C） are born cooperative（D）learn to speak by listening54 The third paragraph is mainly about_.（A）the development of babies early forms of language（B） the difficulties of babies in learning to speak（C） babies strong desire to communicate（D）babi
46、es intention to communicate55 From the passage we learn that_.（A）early starters can learn to speak within only six months（B） children show a strong desire to communicate by making noises（C） imitation plays an important role in learning to speak（D）children have various difficulties in learning to spe
47、ak55 American society is not nap(午睡)friendly. In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. “Theres even a prohibition against admitting we need sleep. “ Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work. To quote proverb: “Some sleep fi
48、ve hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and wickedness eleven. “Wrong. The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them. “We have to totally change our attitude toward napping“, says Dr. William Dement of Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research.Last year a na
49、tional commission led by Dement identified an “American sleep debt“ which one member said was as important as the national debt, the commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness: people causing industrial accidents or falling asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White
