His parents must keep him intellectually simulated(启发)while making sure he is like any other little boy. Mark has been attracted by the way how the world works since he was a baby. When he was 3, Mark was reading fluently, mostly self-taught. His parents havent been able to keep him away from books since. “I tried many times to stop him reading. We worry about his crazy fond of reading because he constantly wants to read everything whatever it is. ” A psychologist at the Gerric Centre for gifted children tested Mark and gave him an IQ of 200. The average child of Marks age has an IQ of 100. At 200, Mark is a geniuseven compared with other child geniuses. “With children like Mark you can tell thats a bright child as soon as they walk in.They just have this sort of intensity, and maybe theyre not so good at communicating with people,” the psychologist said. “He will never fit perfectly into a class where hes with children of his age.” But Marks mother worries about the “socially isolated” labels. “Nobody wants their child to grow up with that image. I want him to communicate with others freely, but not to be frustrated（受挫的，沮丧的） academically, so its really hard to find a balance,”she says. Helen Dudeney from the Talented and Gifted Children Association says Mark is one in a million with such a high IQ. She points out those geniuses are still rare and difficult for the public education system to handle.“The lack of coping comes because teachers arent trained in teaching gifted children,”says Dudeney. Helen believes its also extremely important for them to be recognized and supported in their talents. Marks parents are trying to figure out how best to help Mark. At the moment,there are few options. Mark finds first year work boring and simple, but he must learn to complete the work. His mother says,“We just want to be happy. Just to have a happy childhood and want to go to school every day.”24. By saying “But his intelligence comes at a cost”, the author means that_. A. Mark must pay for his intelligence at a high price B. Marks parents make Mark clever at any cost C. Marks intelligence results from his parents D. Marks intelligence brings him negative effects at the same time25.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Mark began to teach himself reading at the age of 6.B. Marks parents are dissatisfied with his love for reading.C. Many child geniuses are not good at communicating with others. D. It is hard for parents to bring up a genius.26. If there are 5. 5 billion people in the world, the number of geniuses with an IQ of 200 will be _. A about 4,400 B. about 5,500 C. about 6,600 D. about 7,70027. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A Genius Craziness for Books B. The Life of the Genius Parents C. The Burden of Being Gifted D. The Characteristics of MarkCIn his widely-read book, Bowling Alone: The Collapseand Revival of AmericanCommunity, sociologist Robert Putnam told us a troubling truth: Americans were becoming more disconnected from each otherand in that isolation(孤独)was deep personal dissatisfaction.That book came out in 2000, before the age of mobile technology truly took hold Last year, a new book built on the conversation Ruth Whippmans America the Anxious: How Our Pursuit of Happiness Is Creating a Nation of Nervous Wrecks. Whippman looked around at the culture of self-help, self-care and happiness-seeking in todays America, saying, “Too often, we are told, Happiness comes from within. But what we should understand is, Happiness is other people. Study after study shows that good social relationship is a necessary condition for happiness, meaning that humans cant actually be happy without it.”Social engagement doesnt have to mean parties or huge circles of friends. As Whippman writes, “When asked, almost all people consistently report themselves as happier when they are around other people than when they are alone.” This can mean a quiet cup of tea shared with a trusted friend, or a small book club, walking group or a movie night with a neighbor.Christmas Day is a wonderful time to reflect on the power of community, the real joy that comes from accepting the fact that human beingswhether introverts(性格内向的人) or extrovertsare born social creatures who thrive(茁壮成长) when we develop relationships in ways that work for us.As Helen Keller once said, “Alone， we can do so little； together， we can do so much.” Together, we can make happiness a daily reality for ourselves and others.28. What is the attitude of Robert Putnam and Whippman towards todays American society?A. Confident. B. Disapproving. C. Unconcerned. D. Cautious29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Good social relationship. B. Whippmans new book.C. Study after study. D. The age of mobile technology.30. How can we achieve true happiness according to Whippman?A. By attending more parties. B. By making more friends.C. By standing in someone elses shoes. D. By surrounding ourselves with like-minded people.31. Why is Christmas Day mentioned in the text?A. To show the popularity of it. B. To demand more similar festivals.C. To stress the importance of social connection.D. To call on more people to join in the celebration.DDont let the name fool you : a black hole is anything but empty space. Rather, it is a great amount of matter packed into a very small areathink of a star ten times bigger than the sun squeezed into a ball approximately the diameter (直径) of New York City. The result produces such a strong gravitational field that nothing, not even light, can escape. In recent years, NASA instruments have painted a new picture of these strange objects that are, to many, the most fascinating objects in space.The idea of an object in space so massive and dense (密度大的) that light could not escape it has been around for centuries. Most famously, black holes were predicted by Einsteins Theory of General Relativity, which showed that when a massive star dies, the center of the star falls in upon itself, or falls apart. When this happens, it explodes part of the star into space and leaves behind a small core with its great density. If the core s mass is more than about three times the mass of the sun, then the force of gravity is greater than all other forces and produces a black hole.Scientists cant directly observe black holes with telescopes that detect (探测) x-rays, light, or other forms of radiation. We can, however, infer the presence of black holes and study them by detecting their influence on other matter nearby. If a black hole passes through a cloud of matter, for example, it will draw matter inside in a process known as addition. A similar process can occur if a normal star passes close to a black hole. In this case, the black hole can tear the star apart as it pulls it towards itself. As the attracted matter accelerates and heats up, it gives off x-rays that radiate into space. Recent discoveries offer some evidence that black holes have a dramatic influence on the neighborhoods around them - giving off powerful gamma ray bursts, swallowing nearby stars, and accelerating the growth of new stars in some areas while postponing it in others.32. Why does a black hole have such a powerful gravity?A. Its area is small. B. It is empty space.C. Its density is great. D. It contains much light.33. How many stages are there from a massive star to a black hole?A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.34. How do scientists research black holes?A. By studying matter nearby them. B. By observing them with telescopes.C. By collecting some light from them. D. By receiving powerful gamma ray bursts.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. The Birth of a Black Hole B. The First Picture of a Black HoleC. Some Unknown Secrets of Black Holes D. A New Scientific Discovery：Black Holes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。Most college students have their money from their parents, but college is the time for them to begin true responsibility. With the right information at hand and some practice, you can definitely get major financial assistance for college tuition(学费). 36 The following is the ways you should know about. Play a sport. 37 I know it is obvious to the foot ball player that sports will increase the possibility, but did you know you can get scholarships for less-known sports? Have a try on golf, sailboat and marathon! A senior year spent learning and perfecting a new sport can lead to a full ride in college. Do voluntary work. Most nonprofits have good scholarships for their volunteers Try volunteers. Try volunteering in your community or a community chapter of a major organization. 38 It can be best to work for an organization that you are familiar with or have a childhood history with. 39 Try building a personal connection with someone at a scholarship society. Building a relationship through visits, phone calls, and gifts can make you stand out of the crowd. Remember, these people chose the winners from hundreds of applications a day and a personal touch can really make a difference!Apply early. It can never be too early to apply for a scholarship. Applying early is another way to stand out of the crowd. You can definitely score a better scholarship earlier with much less competition. 40 Applying early can lead to more applications overall, and some one who applies to 100 scholarships against 10 has a much better chance of being awarded!A. Bear in mindB. Keep in touch. C. It can also be a numbers game. D. Living in a poor community may help you a lot. E. Some of the highest scholarships are given to college athletes. F. A high level of community service will give you a leg up in college. G. Experience has proven that scholarships will be given to those who deserve it. 第三部分 完形填空（满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中， 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Many of us dream of becoming our own boss.
