10、ic and learning how clocks worked. Harrison used his skills as a carpenter in making new clocks. His most important invention was finding a solution to the issue of longitude. For a long time, the ability to know a ships longitude position had not been found. It was very necessary for the safe trave

11、l of ships. The problem was considered so important that the government offered a £20,000 reward for the first person who could provide a solution. Harrisons invention was a clock able to tolerate changes in temperature and air pressure. It took Harrison five years to develop his first sea cloc

12、k (H1). It was given its first sea trial on a route to Portugal. The test proved very good, and Harrisons clock helped people determine the longitude accurately. However, this was not enough for the prize of the government, which required use on trans-Atlantic routes. Over the next years, Harrison k

13、ept improving on the design. His next models, the H2 and H3, were never entirely successful. Adding elements of other watches, Harrison worked on a marine watch (H4). It took him another six years to build it. On the first trial to Jamaica, the marine watch proved very accurate. However, the governm

14、ent refused to give him the prize, arguing that it might have been due to good luck. Harrison came up with a second sea watch, the H5. Again, it proved reliable, but again, the government didnt give him the full prize. With the help of King George III, Harrison was eventually awarded £8,75

All Austin Gutwein wanted to do when he was in school a

18、s get into the basketball team. Well, he didnt make it, and thats just what got him started in his journey. Meanwhile, Austin had a pen friend in Africa who helped him realize that we have more than they do. Were actually lucky enough to have doctors and nurses to cure our illnesses. In Africa, they

19、 have a disease that spreads like wildfire called AIDS. “I know it is a disease that when it gets to parents it kills them, and I feel that pain that the kids feel - waking up and their parents are dead,” says Austin. This 14-year-old boy started to shoot hoops (投篮) to raise money for the orphans (孤

20、儿). “I was shocked,” says his father, Dan Gutwein, “People that we had never met before donated!” He raised $3,000 to help, but he knew that wouldnt be enough. So when Austin was 14 years old he started an organization called Hoops of Hope. Austin decided to build a school. He went around the U.S.A.

21、 and encouraged kids to shoot hoops to raise money, so he could donate the money they raised to help build a school in Africa for orphans. “This is something that I realized - if you do just the littlest thing, you can make a difference, and thats what Im trying to do,” says Austin. This is somethin

22、g that he loves to do and his persistence and energy to help these kids and learn from them inspires people all around the U.S.A. to help out these orphans. These kids have to walk 7-8 miles just to go to school and we dont even want to get out of bed and take a bus! These little kids that are 7, 8

23、or 9 cant walk that far every single day. This school would be an orphanage, housing 450 students and teachers. Everyone should be educated and everyone should be cared for and loved.

CIf youve heard a story about dolphins rescuing a person in the ocean, youre not the only one. For thousands of years, dolphins have interacted with

27、humans in several ways that most animals do not. The intelligence of these cetaceans (鲸类动物), highly developed and similar in some aspects to that of humans, places them in a position that no other species has. Dolphins show behaviors similar to those of humans at times. In the wild they usually help

28、 their sick group members, supporting them to reach the surface so they can breathe. Females are loving mothers devoted to their offspring while they feed on breast milk. But why do dolphins save humans, if they are a different species There are many theories that try to explain the reason, but unti

29、l now none have been widely accepted. Researches think that sometimes the relationship between humans and dolphins has nothing to do with empathy (共情), but rather it is a relationship of help-reward. An example of this is the case of dolphins which help fishermen to find fish or other prey, since, i

30、n the end, these cetaceans receive some of the fish obtained. The question here is why they began to do this if no one taught them. The act of defending humans from an animal that can attack them, like sharks, is similar to the behavior of mothers protecting their babies. Many disabled swimmers or d

31、ivers claim that they were help and transported to surface with the aid of a dolphin, an action that has been used with other cetaceans. Another explanation may be related to the comparison between the body characteristics of dolphins and humans, since both are intelligent mammals. Thanks to its sen

32、se of echo-location (回声定位), a dolphin can hear a heartbeat and realize when a person is in trouble. It is the moment when they act, just as they would do with a mate. There are only two cetacean attacks on record against people, one from a killer whale that confused a surfboard for a seal and the ot

33、her by an angry dolphin mother who had just given birth and its baby was taken away from her. 27. What does the underlined word “offspring: in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Companions.B. Babies.C. Husbands.D. Parents. 28. A possible explanation of why dolphins save humans is _. A. dolphins sense of

34、echo-locationB. humans training and command C. dolphins desire for rewardD. humans understanding and care 29. What can we infer from the passage? A. Dolphins are more intelligent than humans. B. Dolphins will help and protect other cetacean species. C. There are a few records of dolphins attacking h

35、umans. D. There are a bond between dolphins similar to that of humans. 30. What is probably the best title for the text? A. Dolphins Rescuing Humans B. Dolphins, a Different Species C. Dolphins Interacting with Humans D. Dolphins, Humans Best Friends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。

36、选项中有两项为多余选项。Parents praise their children everywhere when they do something astonishing. Whenever I hear a parent shout “good girl”, I often wonder what message those words send. In my years of working with children and parents, Ive found that general, empty phrases like “good job” or “nice work” do

37、nt get you very far. Now dont get me wrong. _31_ However, it may be just the opposite if praise is not properly offered because not all kinds of praise fit the bill. For example, theres a big difference in telling a child “Youre a good girl for cleaning up your toys” and “I really like how quickly y

38、ou put your blocks away.” _32_ When a child hears the former, a message is being sent that if she didnt clean up her toys, she wouldnt be good and be loved. If you are hoping to positively impact your childs self-image, you may consider using positive purposeful praise as follows. _33_ For example,

39、“You worked really hard at solving that math problem.” When we praise a childs effort, we help them see that they are in control of their success. Praise good behavior. “I really like how you shared your truck with Tommy. That is kind.” When we praise good behavior on the spot, we make childrens wil

40、lingness to do good deeds stronger. Praise your child in front of others. “Did you see Abbys ballet performance She worked so hard! Wasnt it great” _34_ When she hears it, she feels good. When she hears others hear it, she feels great. Praise without comparison. “I love how you swam across the entir

41、e pool! That must take great strength.” Even when she is better than any others, dont compare. _35_ Positive, purposeful praise is an effective tool in helping your child to develop a positive self-image. Next time you want to offer words of encouragement effectively, please consider your words care

42、fully. A. Here is the difference. B. Overpraise is not encouraged. C. Praise can be harmful in some cases. D. Praise for effort, rather than outcome. E. The effect of praise is increased in this way. F. The best type of praise keeps focus on her effort. G. Actually, praise is important to promote a
