13、ress people in English when you want to talk to them? The following may be some simple rules the beginners should follow. 1. When talking to strangers there is often no special form of address in English. Usually, if you want to catch the attention of a stranger, it is necessary to use such phrases

15、whose names you don t know. 3. When you talk to some people you know, you can use their names. If you are friends, use their first names; if your relationship is more formal, use “Mr. “ “Mrs. “ “Ms. “ etc. before their family names. 4. There are many other forms of address which can be used between

For example , “ pal “and mate“ can be used between strangers, but are usually only used by men talking to other men.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, “Excuse me“ is mainly used to_.（分数：2.00）A.address a person you dont knowB.apol

When Steven Erickson and his colleagues asked 348 men and 142 women who had been admitted to the hospital for a heart attack about their symptoms and medication(用药情况), they found that even though the women had more symptoms

If a group of researchers in India are successful, the earthqua
26、ke might not be as destructive. British and Indian engineers are developing earthquake-proof housing using a cheap, universal material: bamboo. They designed a model house built around waterproof bamboo-sheet roofing and bamboo-reinforced concrete walls. To test the structure, the engineers, sponsor
27、ed by the U. K. Department of International Development, took it to the Earthquake Engineering and Vibration Research Centre in Bangalore, which has a state-of-the-art earthquake simulator(模拟装置). The researchers shook the house with five house with five successive 30-second pulses, being equal to 7.
28、 8 on the Richter(里氏)scale. The simulation was more than 10 times as violent as the Bam earthquake, yet the house emerged undamaged. “We didnt even crack the paint,“ says engineer Paul Follett, of Britains Timber Research and Development Association. By some estimates, more than a billion people alr
29、eady live in bamboo structures. The innovation lies in developing ways to exploit bamboo s spring. Easily pre-built, fire resistant, and far lighter than steel, bamboo-based structures could be assembled in three weeks and last 50 years. At five dollars a square foot, they would last roughly half as
30、 much as brick-and-block constructions. Follett says the project will follow an “ open source“ model: “ Whatever is developed is freely available for the common good. “（分数：10.00）(1).Thousands of people died in the Bam earthquake mainly because_.（分数：2.00）A.the earthquake occurred in the cold December

34、ecent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy(婴儿), every child needs opportunity and the right materials for play, and the main tools of play are toys. The main function of toys is to suggest, encourage and play. To succeed in
35、this, they must be good toys, which children will play with often, and will come back to again, and again. Therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child s development. In recent years research on infant development has shown that the standard a child is likely to
36、reach, within the range of his inherited(遗传的)abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby s ability to benefit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. A baby who is encouraged, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of
37、growing up successfully. In the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toys should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability: Bricks and jigsaws(七巧板)and construction toys
38、; painting, scribbling(涂鸦)and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending playthe first social games for learning to play and get on with others. But at the third stage of play developmentfrom five to seven or eight years oldthe child is at school. But for a few more year
39、s play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys. Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child. But once reading has been mastered, then books become the main source of learning. Toys are stil
40、l interesting and valuable, which lead up to new hobbies, but their significance has changedto a child of nine or ten years old, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the first paragraph we know that as a child grows up_.（分数：2.00）A.he should be allowed to c
