9、re wrong. Many people believe that its their job to 36 others how their positions, statements, and points of view are 37 , and that in doing so, the person they are correcting is going to some how 38 it, or at least learn something. Wrong! Think about it. Have you ever been 39 by someone and said to

10、 him, “Thank you so much for showing me that Im wrong and youre right.” Or, has anyone you know ever 40 you when you corrected them, or _de yourself “right” at their 41 ? Of course not. The truth is, all of us 42 to be corrected. We all want our positions to be 43 and understood by others. Being lis

17、are few pla _s on earth where nature can be seen in almost primitive（原始的）condition. One is the Galapagos Islands, where, largely unspoiled by _n, strange and unusual birds, ani _ls and plants settle and grow _ny of which are found nowhere else in the world. These islands lay directly on the Equator,

18、 about 1, 000 kilometers west of the South American _inland. But the Galapagos is now facing a crisis（危机）. Its hu _n inhabitants, who live on the island of Santa Cruz, want to develop the business and tourist possibility of the islands. Re _ntly, they have been having a bitter struggle with the natu

19、ralists who work at the Charles Darwin Research Center, alto on Santa Cruz. The naturalists want to keep the islands wildlife alive, which is already suffering as a result of hu _n activities. The ani _ls greatest danger used to be sailors who, hundreds of years ago, plundered（掠夺）the islands for foo

20、d. They wiped out about 250, 000 Giant Tortoises, causing extinction（毁灭）of several species which lived on some of the s _ller islands. The last survivor, an 80-yearold Giant Tortoise called Lonely George, lives under the protection of naturalists at the Darwin Center. 56. The best topic for this pas

21、sage is _. A. In Primitive Times B. Giant Tortoises Extinction C. Great Danger to the Galapagos D. Development of the Island 57.

23、 inhabitants on the Islands will be well off B Learning disabilities are very mon. They affect perhaps 10 per _nt of all children. Four times as _ny as girls have learning disabilities. Sin _ about 1970, new research has helped brain scientists understand these problems better. Scientists now know t

24、here are _ny different kinds of learning disabilities and that they are caused by _ny different things. There is no longer any question that all learning disabilities result from differen _s in the way the brain is organized. You cannot look at a child and _ if he or she has a learning disability. T

25、here is no outward sign of the disorder. So some researchers began looking at the brain itself to learn what might be wrong. In one study, researchers examined the brain of the learning-disabled person who had _d in an aident. They found two unusual things. One has something to do with _lls in the l

26、eft side of the brain, which control language. These _lls nor _lly are white. In the learning-disabled person, however, these _lls were gray. The researchers also found that _ny of the nerve _lls were not in a line the way they should have been. The nerve _lls were mixed together. The study was carr

27、ied out under the guidan _ of Nor _n Geschwind, an early expert on learning disabilities. Doctor Geschwind thought that learning disabilities resulted _inly from problems in the left side of the brain. He believed this side of the brain failed to develop nor _lly. Probably, he said, nerve _lls there

28、 did not connect as they should. So the brain was like an electrical devi _ in which the wires were crossed. Frank Duffy experimented with this technique at Childrens Hospital Medical Center in Boston. Doctor Duffy found large differen _s in the brain activity of nor _l children and those with readi

29、ng problems. The differen _s appeared throughout the brain. Doctor Duffy said his research proves that reading disabilities result from da _ge to a wide area of the brain, not just the left side. 59. Scientists found that the brain _lls of a learning-disabled person differ from those of a nor _l per

30、son in _. A. size and shape B. colour and shape C. size and arrangement D. colour and arrangement 60. It is NOT mentioned in the passage that learning disabilities _y result from _. A. the unknown area of the brain B. da _ge to a wide area of the brain C. unusual organization of brain _lls D. proble

31、ms in the left side of the brain 61. Doctor Duffy believed that the problem of learning disabilities _. A. was limited to the right side of the brain B. was not limited to the left side of the brain C. resulted from the left side of the brain D. did not lie in the left side of the brain 62. Aording

32、to the passage we can conclude that further researches should be _de _. A. to study possible influen _s on brain development and organization B. to study how children learn to read and write, and use numbers C. to help learning-disabled children to develop their in _igen _ D. to explore how the left

33、 side of the brain works in language learning C Sex education is a serious scientific subject, which is as important as the other scien _ and arts subjects, even if it is not included in the exams, especially the college entran _ examination. It shouldnt be overlooked or banned in school curriculum.

34、 Instead of being regarded as a sinful subject, it should be treated with the right attitude. In China, for thousands of years, people have felt shy and embarrassed (窘迫的) when talking about _, which bees a mysterious thing in peoples view. Affected by this cultural tradition and social customs, peop

35、le hold a negative attitude towards it. That is why _ education is never allowed to enter schools in an open and broad _nner. As a result, few people have a correct and scientific knowledge about _. Many teenagers know very little about _. Driven by the for _s of instinct or curiosity, they mit _ny

36、crimes because of ignoran _, eg. illegal teen pregnancy (怀孕), taking drugs, contracting _ual diseases. They bee the inno _nt victims due to lack of _ education. Cant this be said to be the tragedy of our education and nation? Sex education is not new in the schools of Western countries, beginning as

37、 early as kindergarten and continuing into high school. Comprehensive _ education programs generally cover the biology of reproduction (繁殖), the psychology of relationships, the sociology of the family. These courses leading to straight talk about a variety of subject have neither produ _d _ny negat

38、ive impacts on the mental, physical and psychological development of the teenagers, nor resulted in _ny social troubles. It is clear that the teachers and parents cant perpetuate myths that could prevent childrens healthy _ual development. Under the proper guidan _ of the teachers and experts, stude

39、nts will grow into healthy-minded citizens and decrease the chan _s to see psychological doctors. 63. Chinese people hold a negative attitude towards _ education because _. A. it is sinful B. it is not included in exams C. theyre afraid that children will mit crimes D. theyre affected by the traditi

40、on and customs deeply 64. The underlined words “perpetuate myths” in the last paragraph mean _. A. keep _ education a mysterious thing B. discover the myths of _ C. _ke the _ education a secret thing D. _ke the secret of _ education known to the teenagers 65. What can we NOT infer from the last para

41、graph? A. Some teenagers go to see psychological doctors because of lack of _ education. B. Without the proper guidan _ of the teachers and experts, no teenagers will grow healthily. C. Proper _ education is mentally helpful for the teenagers growth. D. More and more people will regard _ education a

42、s a natural thing. 66. Which of the following is the _in topic of the passage? A. Cultural tradition and social customs about _ education in China. B. The different attitudes towards _ education. C. Sex education shouldnt be overlooked. D. The advantages of proper _ education. D A study of art histo

43、ry might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general classes. Most typical history courses con _ntrate on politics, economics, and wars. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religi

44、ous beliefs, emotions, and psychology. In addition, infor _tion about the daily activities of our an _stors-or of people very different from our own-can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a pla _, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understandi

45、ng than what can be found in most history books. In history books, objective infor _tion about the political life of a country is presented: that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Sp

46、anish painter Franciso Goya was perhaps the first truly political artist. In his well-known painting The Truth of May1808, he criticized the Spanish gover _ent for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic i _ges were used in Pablo Picassos Guernica to express the horror

47、of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clements Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros- as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martinez-depicted these Mexican artists deep anger and sadness about social problems. In the same way, art can reflect a cultures r

48、eligious beliefs. Four hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldnt read, they could still understand biblical s

49、tories in the pictures on church walls. By contrast, one of the _in characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absen _ of hu _n and ani _l i _ges. This reflects the Islamic belief that statues are unholy. 67. Which of the following senten _s is WRONG aording to the passage? A.

50、The way art expresses is the same all over the world. B. Art history supplies us with knowledge about everyday activities of people in the past. C. Most typical history courses dont cover peoples spirits. D. Art is subjective in that it will find a ready echo in our hearts. 68.Whats the probable mea

51、ning of the underlined word “essential” in the paragraph 1? A. natural B. ne _ssary C. strange D. possible 69. The passage is _inly discussing _. A. the differen _ between general history and art history B. the _ of art history C. what we can learn from art D. the influen _ of artists on art history

52、 70. It _y be concluded from this passage that _. A. Islamic artists have had to create architectural decoration with pictures of flowers or geometric (几何的)forms B. history teachers are more objective than artists C. it is more difficult to study art history than general history D. people and storie

53、s from the Bible were painted on churches and other buildings in order to popularize the Bible E From e- _il to on-line shopping, you _y think youve heard everything there to know about the electronic frontier (新领域). But with hundreds of thousands of Web pages being added weekly, there are plenty of

54、 surprises out there. Here are some of the most intriguing (有迷惑力的). Put your kid on a greeting card. Here is how: simply take some pictures with a regular camera, and then ask the photo servi _ to develop them digitally (数字化). For a s _ll fee, youll re _ive your photos on a disk. Put that into your

55、puter and, with a few clicks of the mouse, you can view your photos on the screen. With a few more keystrokes, you can attach (使附在)the photos to e- _il and send them to friends and relatives worldwide. Sign on to one or several greeting cards Web sites (.card _ntral. is an index of more than 1200 electronic card sites) and create an electronic birthday or holiday card. Using your digital photos, you can paste your grandchildren onto the cover. If
