and the boywho could not have been more than seven or eight years oldreplied, frankly, ive been feeling a little depressed lately.this incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. as far as i can remember, my friends and i didnt find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school.the evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. children dont seem childlike anymore. children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to. whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. childhood as it once was no longer exists. why? human development is based not only on innate (天生的) biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status(身份). children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.556. according to the author, feeling depressed is _. a. a normal sign of a psychological problem in a child b. something hardly to be expected in a young child c. a nice phase of childrens mental development d. a strange state present in all humans, including children57. traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world _. a. without contact with society b. gradually and under guidance c. by teaching themselves d. by watching tv58. why is the author in favor of communication through print for children? a. it enables children to gain more information about adults. b. it develops childrens interest in society. c. it helps children to enjoy the temptation. d. it can control some other information. 59.what does the author think of the change in todays children? a. he feels amused by their good behavior. b. he thinks it is a phenomenon worthy of note. c. he considers it a positive development. d. he seems to be pleased with it. byou may think that inventions are far away from your everyday life. but in fact, almost everyone can invent. its just that they do not recognize that their idea could be the start of an invention. once inventors see their ideas have some practical value, they dont let them slip away. for example, the inventor of the dishwasher, american josephine cochrane, loved to give dinner parties. but she found it took too long to wash her dishes by hand and too many of them broke. she decided that a machine could do the job faster and with fewer mistakes. so, in 1886, she set out to make one for herself. like cochranes, most inventions are created to solve a problem. so, the first and most important step is to find the problem. you can start by looking at what is wrong with things you use now. you can ask grandparents or neighbours if they remember ever saying: i wish someone would invent something for. or you can look at people in different areas such as on the street, or at school. then you might notice situations or things in need of improvement. remember to record your ideas and work. this will help you develop your invention and protect it when it is completed. the next step is to think about possible solutions. an invention is a new way of solving a problem. so think of many, varied, and unusual ways. you can often come up with a solution for a problem by looking at it from a different angle (角度) or thinking about it in a new way. example 1 instead of thinking of shoes as protecting your feet from the ground, think of using something to protect the ground from your feet. example 2 instead of thinking about how you can carry oranges home from a store, think of how they can come to you by delivery or growing your own. example 3 instead of experimenting with only one solution, can you put two or three solutions together, or arrange them in different orders? and if one solution doesnt work, can it be put to other uses? that was how yellow post-it notes (n次贴) came about a failed adhesive (粘合剂) experiment proved a weak adhesive had good uses too! after all, most inventions are not brand new. they do not come out of nowhere, but come out of things or ideas that already exist. and the hardest part of inventing, even for a lot of inventors, is coming up with a problem and finding a solution. once you have an idea, you can always get help building your invention. this problem-solving technique can also work in your everyday lives. so, why not try it in your studies, in your relationship with others, or even in the way you look at the world? 60. the main idea of this story is _.a. how to put your ideas to other usesb. that you can invent and how you will be able to do soc. problem-solving techniqued. how inventors invent61. what makes inventors different from other people is probably that _.a. they consider every thing as an inventionb. they are full of energyc. they enjoy solving their own problemsd. they look for problems and try to solve them in a new and better way62.what made josephine cochrane decide to invent the dishwasher?a. her love of parties.b. her dislike of dishwashing.c. her desire for something that could do the dishwashing better.d. her love of dishwashing.63. the underlined phrase come about probably means to _.a. come into being b. come back c. work d. stick c each new school year brings fresh reminders of what educators call the summer learning gap. some call it the summer learning setback. put simply, it means the longer kids are out of school, the more they forget. the only thing they seem to gain is weight. most american schools follow a traditional nine-month calendar with winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation. some schools follow a year-round calendar. they hold classes for about eight weeks at a time, with a few weeks off in between. the national association for year-round education says there were fewer than 3,000 such schools at last count.they were spread among forty-six of the fifty states. but many experts point out that the number of class days in a year round school is generally the same as in a traditional school. brenda mclaughlin is a research director at the national centre for summer learning at johns hopkins university. she says studies of year-round schooling have not found strong learning gains. lead researcher paul von hippel said, year round schools dont really solve the problem of the summer learning setback. they simply spread it out across the year. across the country, research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer than other students. experts say this can be prevented. they note that many schools and local governments offer programmes that can help.however, calling such programmes summer school could be a problem. the director of the summer learning centre at johns hopkins, ikon fairchild, said research with groups of different parents in chicago and baltimore found that almost all strongly disliked the term summer school. in american culture, the idea of summer vacation is connected to beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhood. the parents preferred other terms like summer camp, “extra time” and hands-on learning. 64. according to the first paragraph, the summer learning gap_. a. helps children to gain weight b. leads children to work harderc. improves childrens memories d. affects childrens regular studies65. compared to those in traditional schools, students in the year-round schools_. a. perform better and learn more b. have much less time for relaxation every year c. have generally the same number of class days d. hold more classes and have more weeks off66. why do almost all parents dislike the term summer school? a. they cherish the childrens rights and freedom. b. they are worried about the quality of the summer schools. c. they want their children to be forced to make up the gap. d. they cant afford to pay for studies during the vacation.67. the underlined word in the first paragraph mostly probably means_.a. 耽搁 b延迟c. 挫折d退步dcan you imagine traveling to work in a one-man submarine?scientists believe that someday one-man submarines will be as numerous as automobiles today. one says, one day soon, men will walk on the ocean floor as they do on the street. perhaps during your life time, people will travel, work and live under the sea. ships carrying oil and articles of trade will move beneath the ocean. passenger ships will be built to travel underwater, where storms cannot delay them or make people seasick. special underwater ships will be designed for mining, fishing, and exploring unknown areas. for military use, there may be submarines that can fly and then dive underwater to approach the battle area without being seen. first, however, the human problems associated with living in the ocean will need to be studied in detail. many of these problems are the same as the problems of living in outer space: pressure, lack of oxygen, and weightlessness. already scientists have begun to study these problems. in 1963 and 1964 scientists and navy divers lived and worked underwater for several days in two projects which were called sealab i and sealab ii. the sealab ii experiment kept the scientists and divers 215 feet below the surface for thirty days, studying marine biology, temperature, pressure, currents, and ocean bottom geology. many puzzling questions remain unanswered, however. mans warm blood makes it difficult for him to live long in the sea without some kind of warmth. can our blood be changed to fit new water surroundings? what will happen to our muscles if we live in the water very long? will they become soft away from our usual land existence? will bones become weak and our blood pressure change? scientists are searching for answers. by studying plants and animals deep in the ocean, scientists may find a cure for some of our most serious human diseases. we may learn to use plants to increase our world food supply. engineers may learn to use the power of the sea by building huge walls to catch the force of the tides.68. in the passage, the author is talking to us about the problems of _ a. pressure, lack of oxygen, and weightlessness in the sea b. living, working below the ocean c. underwater submarine d. walking on the ocean floor69. according to the author, in future, passenger ships might be the ones that can _a. be used for mining, fishing and exploring unknown areas b. carry oil and articles of tradec. travel underwater, not affected by storm d. fly and then dive underwater70. which of the following is true? a. sealab i worked for more than thirty days below the surface. b. sealab ii worked for thirty days under the sea for exploring unknown areas. c. sealab ii kept the scientists over 200 feet below the surface, studying temperature, pressure and so on. d. sealab i and sealab ii kept the scientists 215 feet below the surface for thirty days.第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。being healthy means taking care of yourself physically and mentally. here are some of my best tips on how to do both:break a bad habit.you dont really “break” habits. _71_. so if your problem is that you eat too much when you get home from work, find something new to do that is incompatible（不能共存的）with what you usually do. you cant walk around the track at the school and pig out in your kitchen at the same time.grow your marriage._72_. its always a give-and-take, always requires work. its as if you planted a garden and came back six months lateryou wouldnt even be able to find it. _73_.b
