People from other countries know the names Washington, Kennedy and so on. However, many men who ha
22、ve served as president of the United States have not been famous in other parts of the world. One example is J. Q. Adams, the sixth man to serve as U.S. president.Very little happened while Adams was president. It was an unhappy time for him, and he wasnt very effective, when his term ended, he went
23、 back to the Congress and served as a representative (众议院议员). While he was in Congress, people began to respect him more than they had done while he was president. Adams was strongly against slavery and tried to outlaw it in Washington D. C. People began to look back on his presidency with a differe
24、nt view. Now they saw that he was an independent man with high ideal who loved his country and hated slavery. Adams died in 1848 while speaking in the House of Representative.（分数：5.00）(1).When Adams served as the sixth U.S. president, _.（分数：1.00）A.his people didnt regard him as a great manB.he tried

28、ny animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.When cold weather comes, many birds move to w
29、armer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration (迁移) is probably the migration of fish, which is called “salmon“. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is o
30、ld, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed
31、 when they fall into the sea.Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster (龙虾). Every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go
32、.So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we dont. Maybe living things just like to travel.（分数：4.00）(1).Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to _.（分数：1.00）A.give birthB.enjoy warmer weatherC.find food more easilyD.find b
33、eautiful places(2).The mice in northern Europe move when _.（分数：1.00）A.they give birthB.the weather is badC.the place gets too crowdedD.they havent enough food(3).The lobsters move _.（分数：1.00）A.to the fresh waterB.to the sea floorC.at a certain timeD.to find more food(4).What is the main idea of the
34、passage?.（分数：1.00）A.Animals move in order to find food more easily.B.The migration of the fish called “salmon“ is the most famous migration.C.Living things move from one place to another because they like to travel.D.Sometimes we know why and how living things move from one place to another, but som
35、etimes we dont.CIn general, people talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors.The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm
36、colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people, those who like to be with others, like red. The cool colors are green, blue and violet. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people a
37、re usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggests that a warm color, such as red or orange is a good color for a living room
38、or restaurant. People who are relaxing or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices of factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly.Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool. However, almost ev
39、eryone agrees that red, orange, and yellow are warm and that green, blue, and violet are cool. Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.（分数：4.00）(1).Which
40、of the following colors belong to cool colors?（分数：1.00）A.Yellow, green,B.Blue, violet.C.Black, blue.D.Brown, white.(2).Which of the following statement is NOT true?（分数：1.00）A.Sociable people like warm colors.B.Warm colors can make people excited.C.People who like to be with others dont like red.D.Wh
41、ere there are warm colors, people want to be active.(3).Which is the right color for different rooms?（分数：1.00）A.Red or orange for offices.B.Orange for dining rooms.C.Blue for bedrooms.D.Red for studies.(4).What is the main idea of the last paragraph?（分数：1.00）A.ft shows the reason why people think so
42、me colors are warm and others are cool.B.Warm colors remind people of warm days.C.Cool colors remind people of cool days.D.People have an agreeable opinion of warm colors and cool colors.DCulture determines what kind of thinking is important and what kind is not so important. Learners use the langua
43、ge, tools, and practice their culture to learn concepts. Although students have their individual learning styles, their learning styles are often combined with cultural values. For example, Navajo (North American Indians living in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah) children often learn first by observin
44、g and listening. Then, when ready, they continue learning on their own in cooperation with and under the supervision of an adult. In this way, the children learn all the skills they need. Navajo children speak very little during this process. In contrast, many African American children learn effecti
45、vely by acting and performing. They like classroom activities such as oral presentations, role-plays, and dramatic performances. Lots of talking is useful for these students. Another way of learning is through reading and writing. Asian students generally need writing to support their learning, and
46、therefore do well in classes where there is lots of reading and writing. It is common to see Japanese students pay special attention to the spelling of words they have learned. They are more comfortable seeing new materials than hearing them. Koreans are believed to be the most visual (can be seen)
47、learners. So, although learning styles greatly determine how a person takes in new materials, ones culture also influences how he learns.（分数：4.00）(1).In this passage _ different cultures are mentioned.（分数：1.00）A.fiveB.threeC.twoD.four(2).The underlined part “In contrast“ in this passage means “ _ “.
48、（分数：1.00）A.InsteadB.ThereforeC.On the oppositeD.On the other hand(3).According to the passage, teachers should design some games for _ children.（分数：1.00）A.American blackB.American IndianC.ChineseD.Japanese(4).The passage mainly tells us about _.（分数：1.00）A.the importance of cultureB.different learnin
49、g stylesC.cultural influence upon learning stylesD.how to teach children from different cultureEMr John has paid much attention to his weight reduction programs. Just last year, for example, when he was the main speaker at the company dinner, he said he had put on 30 pounds instead of losing the forty he had promised he would.The year before that, he joined a health club.
