22、d so a poor man, who could read a little, bought it for very little money.The book wasnt very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed. Itwas a thin strip of animal skin on which was written the secret of the “Touchstone (试金石)! The touchstone was asmall pebble t

23、hat could turn any common metal into pure gold. The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it.

OpportunityCA thief entered the bedroom of the 30th President of the United States, who met him and helped him run away from punishment.The event happened in the early morning hours in one of the first days when Calvin Coolidge(卡尔文柯立芝) came into

30、 power (执政), late in August, 1923. He and his family were living in the same third-floor suite at the Willard Hotel in Washington that they had lived several years before. The former Presidents wife was still living in the White House.Coolidge awoke to see a stranger go through his clothes, remove a

31、 wallet and a watch chain.Coolidge spoke, “I wish you wouldnt take that. The thief, gaining his voice, said, “Why? “I dont mean the watch and chain, only the charm (表坠).

32、“Are you President Coolidge? he asked.The President answered, “Yes, and the House of Representatives (众议院) gave me that watch charm. Im fond of it. It would do you no good. You want money. Lets talk this over. Holding up the wallet, the young man said in a low voice, “Ill take this and leave everyth

33、ing else. Coolidge, knowing there was 80 in it, persuaded (劝告) the young man to sit down and talk. He told the President he and his college roommate had overspentduring their holiday and did not have enough money to pay their hotel bill.Coolidge counted out 32 and said it was a loan (借款).He then tol

DScientists have tried to come up with biological explanations for the difference between boys and girls.However, none we

38、re believable enough to explain the general picture. As one scientist points out, “There are slight genetic(遗传的) differences between the sexes (性别) at birth. They may affect the subjects boys and girls choose. But the difficulty is that by the time children reach school age, there are so many other

39、effects that it is almost impossible to tell whether girls are worse at science and maths, or whether theyve been brought up to think of these subjects as boys “territory.Statistics(统计数据) show that in mathematics, at least, girls are equal to boys. A recent report suggests that girls only stop study

40、ing mathematics because of social attitudes (态度). One of the reports authors says, “While it is socially unacceptable for people not to be able to read and write, it is still acceptable for women to say that they are hopeless at maths. Our research shows that, although girls get marks which are as g

41、ood as the boys, they have not been encouraged to do so.The explanation for the difference, which is very clear during the teenage years, goes as far back as early childhood experiences. From their first days in nursery school (幼儿园), girls are not encouraged to work on their own or to complete tasks

42、, although boys are. For example, boys but not girls, are often asked to help with repair work. This encouragement leads to a way of learning how to solve problems later on in life. Evidence shows that excellent mathematicians and scientists did not have teachers who provided answers; they had to fi

43、nd out for themselves.A further report on maths teaching shows that teachers seem to give more attention to boys than to girls.Most teachers who took part in the study admitted that they expect their male students to do better at mathematics and science subjects than their female students. All of th

44、is tends to encourage boys to work harder in these subjects, gives them confidence and makes them believe that they can succeed.Interestingly, both boys and girls tend to regard such male subjects like mathematics and science as difficult. Yet it has been suggested that girls avoid mathematics cours

45、es, not because they are difficult, but for social reasons.Mathematics and science are mainly male subjects, and therefore, as girls become teenagers, they are less likely to take them up. Girls do not seem to want to be in open competition with boys. Neither do they want to do better than boys beca

46、use they are afraid to appear less female and so, less attractive.42. The underlined word “territory in the second paragraph most probably means “ _.A. great interestB. big landC. special fieldD. crazy district43. According to scientific studies,_. A. maths is not fit for girls to learnB. boys have

47、a special sense of mathsC. girls are poorer at maths even though they are given enough encouragementD. girls can learn maths as well as boys if given enough encouragement44. Those who made great contribution in mathematics and science .A. usually had good teachers to help themB. had the abilities to

48、 solve problems by themselvesC. usually worked harder than othersD. were encouraged to repair things when young45.Which of the following is true according to the text?A. It is a social problem rather than a problem of brains that boys are poor at maths.B.It seems socially acceptable for a girl not t

49、o be able to read and write.C.Mathematics and science are easy subjects to either girls or boys.D. Girls do not want to compete (竞争) openly with boys.第二卷非选择题 共60分第II卷共36小题，请按要求将答案写在答题卡上。四、词汇(此题共15小题；每题1分，总分值15分)A. 请根据括号中的中文提示、英文释义或句意，写出句中所缺单词，使句子通顺。46. The tenth month of a year is .
