24、 that his diaper （尿布）needed changing. But it s hardly a joke. Helsinki is home to Nokia, the mobile- phone maker. It s one of the most“ mobile ” citiesDouthe2vp（eiiichnt ofits households have at least one mobile phone. And the kids start young.“ A relatively no rmal age to get a mobileph one is now

Among the sec ond graders at the Kulosaari Eleme ntary School, the most popular object of desire this year is not a Barbie or a Gameboy. It is a Nokia mobile phone with a picture of their own choice on the screen.“One of the first

26、 things we discuss when school starts is the rules for mobile phones, ” says TiiaKorppi, a teacher. Among the rules ：You have to put it away out of sight. You cannot turn it on. You cannot send text messages to your friends, or play amusing tunes （ 令人发笑的曲调 ） in class, or call your parents or call fo

27、r a pizza during history.56.

28、successful mobile-phone makerC. effects of mobile phones on childrenD. school rules for the use of mobile phonesBIf you dream of going someplace warm to escape the cold winter weather, a trip to a recently discovered planet would certainly warm you right up. The planet, named OGLE-TR-56b, has temper

29、atures of more than 3,000 F . “ ThiSs the hottest planet we know about, ”ays Dr. Dimitar Sasselov, a scientist who led the discovery team.“It is hot enough to have an iron fog and to rain hotiron droplets （ 细沫）. ”The new planet is 30 times farther away than any planet discovered by scientists before

30、. It is theMilky Way （ 银河） but it is not in our solar （ 太阳的） system. The new planet moves around a star much like our sun, however. Scientists discovered the planet by using a new planet-searching method, called “transitechnique.” yTwhere able to catch sight of the planet when it moved in front of i

31、ts star,causing the star s light to变暗（.Scientists compare the method to discovering the shadow of abee flying in front of a searchlight 200 miles away. “We believe the door has ben opened wide to go and discover planets like Earth,” says Sasselov.58. We can infer from the passage that .A. there is i

32、ron on the new planetB. we could go to the new planet in winterC. the star could block our view of the new planetD. scientists are studying the weather on the new planet.59. The “transit technique ” can .A. help dim the light of a starB. help scientists with a searchlightC. help discover a bee on a

33、planetD. help find a planet moving before its star60. Which is the best title for the passage?B. New Dista nt Discovery.D. Dream Pla net.A. New Plan et-searchi ng Tech nique.C. Space Searchi ng.CElepha nts don forget ateast, female （雌性的）elepha nts don tElepha nt families are matriarchal. And the soc

34、ial knowledge gained by the oldest females is the key to a family group s survival （生存）,according to a study published in April by Karen McComb, a biologist at SussexUni versity in En gla nd.Elepha nts announce their prese nee by making a deep, l ong sound, a practice referred to as con tact calling

35、 （联络呼叫 ）.An unfamiliar call may mean that an elephant from outside the family group is n earby. A stra nger can cause trouble, in terrupti ng feeding or disturb ing the young. So an elepha nt matriarch signals the family to gather around her ; then they all lift their trunks in the air to smell the

36、unfamiliar caller. False alarms can disturb the group and take time and energy away from feeding, so survival may depend in part on getting it right.Worki ng with Cyn thia Moss, who foun ded the Amboseli Elepha nt Research Project in Kenya 30 years ago, McComb tested the social knowledge of 21 Ambos

37、eli elephant families with matriarchs 27 to 67 years old. She played record ings of con tact calls to each family and found that the oldest matriarchs were much better at picking out unfamiliar calls. In fact, a group with a matriarch in her fifties was several thousa nd times more likely to form in

38、to a group upon heari ng an un familiar con tact call than when hearing a familiar call. However, families with younger matriarchs were less than twice as likely to gather together upon heari ng an un familiar con tact call as compared with a familiar call. And they gathered together a lot. Moreover

39、, the social kno wledge of older matriarchs tran slated into favorable results: Families with older matriarchs produced more baby elephants in each female-reproductive year.This finding shows how difficult it is to protect the oldest members of elephant families. As elepha nts age, they continue to

40、grow larger, as do their much wan ted tusks （象牙）.So the older-and-wiser-a matriarch is, the greater the chance she will be killed. About 800,000 elephants have bee n killed by people in the past 20 years.61. What does the underlined word matriarch ” mean?B. A female head of an elephant family.D. A l

41、arge elepha nt.B. When they see a familiar elephant.D. Whe n the leadi ng elepha nt gives out aA. An old member of an elepha nt family.C. A wise elepha nt.62. When do elepha nt form into a group?A. When they are feedi ng the young.C. When they are giv ing birth to baby elepha nts. warni ng.63. The r

42、esearch with record ings of con tact calls showsA. how fast elephants form into groups.B. how important the age of a leading elephant isC. how frightened elephants are when hearing a strange callD. how frequently old elephants call other members of the family64. The older a female elephant is, .A. t

43、he stronger she will beB. the poorer memory she will havec. the more useless her tusks will beD. the more likely she will be killed65. We can infer from the passage that elephants may .A. run into other elephant familiesB. give wrong warnings to their mothersC. run away upon hearing a strange soundD

44、. produce more babies by gathering together more oftenDIf there is no difference in general intelligence （ 智力 ） between boys and girls, what can explain girls poor performance in science and mathematics?It seems to be that their treatment at school is a direct cause. Mathematics and science are seen

45、 as subjects mainly for boys, and therefore, as girls become teenagers, they are less likely to take them. Interestingly, both boys and girls often regard the subjects for boys as more difficult. Yet it has been suggested that girls do not take mathematics courses, not because they are difficult, bu

46、t for social reasons. Girls do not want to be in open competition with boys because they are afraid to appear less feminine （女性的） and attractive.However, if we examine the performance of boys and girls who have taken mathematics courses, there are still more high-achieving boys than there are girls.

47、 This difference appears to be world-wide. Biological explanations have been offered for this, but there are other explanations too.Perhaps the difference which comes out during the teenage years has its roots in much earlier experiences. From their first days in kindergarten, boys are encouraged to

48、 work on their own and to complete tasks. Facts show that outstanding （杰出的 ） mathematicians and scientists have not had teachers who supplied answers.Besides, there can be little doubt that teachers of mathematics and science expect their boy students to do better at these subjects than their girl s

49、tudents. They even appear to encourage the difference between boys and girls. They spend more time with the boy students, giving them more time to answer questions and working harder to get correct answers from them. They are more likely to call on boys fro answers and to allow them to take the lead

50、 in classroom discussion.They alsopraise boys more frequently. All of this seems to encourage boys to work harder in science and mathematics and to give them confidence （ 信心 ） that they are able to succeed.Such a way of teaching is not likely to encourage girls to take many mathematics and scienee c

51、ourses, nor is it likely to support girls who do. When it comes to these subjects it seems certa in that school wide ns the differe nee betwee n boys and girls.66. Girls are likely to thi nk that.A. scie nee courses are for both boys and girlsB. scie nee courses make them more popularC. scie nee cou

52、rses make them successfulD. scie nee courses are difficult for them67. The text mainly discussesreas ons for the differe nee betwee n boys and girls in scie ntificachieveme nts.A. biologicalB. historicalC. socialD. pers onal68. What are boys usually en couraged to do at school?A. To get help with th

Their teachers did not supply an swers to them.B. They started learning mathematics at an earlier age.C. They sho

Nadia would not reply to anything Kate said. Kate was in charge of showing Nadia around on her first day at Buckm in ster Grade School. Kat
