It was hard to get up for that class, but every morning I would 26 the cold winds and went to the

12、 lecture. The professor for the class would step 27 into the room. He was terribly nervous about the class and always fixed his eyes on his book, never 28 us. I felt that I needed to do something to 29 the boredom, so I tried to find something in his lecture to ask him, forcing me to pay attention r

13、ather than letting my eyes close. The first time I raised my hand, he was surprised but was obviously 30 to have a question to answer. In fact, his answers were always _31_. I continued to do this every day. The professor seemed to become a bit more 32 and some students even joined in. In this way,

14、I learned quite a lot and realized the professor was indeed a(n)_33_ in his field. On the last day of class we gathered our books and headed out. The professor stepped directly in frontof me, with obvious 34 , putting out his hand. He said, _35_ you for making my class so interesting, shaking my han

19、have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away-straight up. A decade ago,adopting the infrared(红外线)scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress.

20、The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide(杀虫剂)spraying rather thanrain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that dont have pest problems. Even better, Paleys Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before theybecame visible to the eye. Mounted on

21、 a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a colour-coded map showing where plants were running fevers. Farmers could then spot-spray（点喷）, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would. The bad news

22、is that Paleys company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern aboutpesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation.Agriculture experts h

23、ave no doubt the technology works. This technique can be used on 75 percent ofagricultural land in the United States, says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the deca

24、de.But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.41. Plants will send out an increased amount of heat when they are_.A. sprayed with pesticidesB. in poor physical conditionC. facing an infrared scannerD. exposed to excessive sun rays42. In order to apply pestic

25、ide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to_.A. estimate the damage to the cropsB. measure the size of the affected areaC. find the exact position of the problem areaD. draw a color-coded map43. Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by_.A. discovering crop problems at an ea

26、rly stageB. consulting infrared scanning expertsC. transforming poisoned rainD. making use of spot-spraying44. The use of infrared scanning technology in agriculture met with some difficulties in _.A. the lack of financial supportB. its high costC. the lack of official supportD. its failure to help

27、increase production45. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of _. A. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produceB. the forceful promotion by the Department of AgricultureC. growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on cropsD. full supp

28、ort from agricultural expertsBWhen my daughter was five, we gave her a piano as her birthday gift. With great excitement, she began learning piano under the teachers guidance. Nevertheless, when she was no longer curious about it, she became sick of it. After all, it is a tough job to learn piano, n

29、ot to mention the daily routine of practice. Therefore, every time, I had to urge her again and again, either to force or offer her some profits for the practice. She always felt uncomfortable sitting on that school, so she would either scratch her nose or ears, or hide in the bathroom for quite a l

30、ong time.Her first teacher left and moved somewhere else. My friend introduced me to an American teacher. The American teachers way of teaching was completely American style. After practicing, she would give my daughter some good comments on the excellent part (despite it being just a small one), an

31、d then point out what should be improved. Whats more, every time she came, instead of beginning the lesson right away, she would first play some music. She said, “To learn playing the piano, you should learn not only the skills of playing, but more importantly, to feel the music and love it.”To my s

32、urprise, my daughter gradually became fond of piano lessons. Sometimes she even would like to show off a little bit in class after her skill had reached a certain level. Her confidence and sense of achievement were enhanced (=increased) with the appreciation and acknowledgement from her teachers and

33、 classmates.Surprisingly, my daughter said to me one day, “Morn, I was lucky because you didnt give up my piano lessons. Learning piano is like climbing a mountain. Youll feel tired when you are on the way. When you look down from where you are, you will realize that you have been making progress. B

34、ut if you stop, you will never take one more step.” Hearing these inspiring words, I could not hold my tears, thinking that is the very thing I want to teach her, something that is more important than learning piano.46. The daughter was not curious about piano when she _。A. became sick B. got tired

35、of itC. was angry with her lessons D. felt sad47.

38、can music teachers are skillful in teaching children.C. learning to play the piano is very important in ones life.D. well succeed if we are devoted to something.CIn the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time forms a relationship with one familiar teacher. O

39、n entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less free in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need f

40、or a more cautious approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in a week, and a pupil may be able to form

41、relationships with very few of the staff. He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is availablebut whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is ano

42、ther matter.Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of peopleoften rather frightening-looking peopleand realizes that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through the school

43、the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for personal and

44、 group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils. 51.According to the passage one of the problems for pupils entering secondary schools is that _.A. they are taught by many different teachersB. they do not attend lessons in every subjectC.

49、significance of trust is that it allows the parties involved in the relationship to show how they feel, what they behave, and where they disagree without fear of contradiction(矛盾) or revenge (报复). Trusting relationship encourage people to make their plans and ideas known without hurting themselves o

50、r others. Hurt, whether real or imagined, is one of the most harmful consequences of personal relationships with other human beings. In situations which you feel that the other person has the power and intention to hurt you, trust decreases quickly. Thus a climate of distrust appears in your relatio

51、ns with others. On the contrary, if I can say whatever comes to my mind without getting hurt, the relationship is filled with a climate of trust. Trust is a perceptual(知觉的，感知的) phenomenon that evolves from our experiences with others. If trusting were so easy, we would not need to make such a point

52、of its importance in human relationships. To say that a person should trust others is to reduce the difficulty of producing trust. In mutual relationships, both parties must behave toward one another in trusting ways. Even though it hurts in the pit of the stomach (心底), you must trust the other pers

53、on and encourage him or her to say those things that demand a trusting response. No one likes to get hurt and few like to hurt others, especially not those others who are close to us in person-to-person relationships. We avoid expressing our true feelings in case we become the target of a revenging

54、attack from the other person. If I indicate that I do not appreciate having you smoke in my car, I may love you as a friend or I may become the subject of ridicule(嘲笑，奚落) for allowing little things like that to bother me. If that happens, I will be less open and less trusting of you the next time.56. The significance of t
