7、ldren learn their mother tongue so well? When we compare them with adults learning a foreign language, we often find this interesting fact. A little child without knowledge or experience often succeeds in a complete mastery of the language. A grown-up person with fully developed mental powers, in mo
8、st case, may end up with a faulty and inexact command. What accounts for this difference?Despite other explanations, the real answer in my opinion lies partly in the child himself, partly in the behavior of the people around him. In the first place, the time of learning the mother tongue is the most
9、 favorable of all, namely, the first years of life. A child hears it spoken from morning till night and, what is more important, always in its genuine form, with the right pronunciation, right intonation, right use of words and right structure. He drinks in all the words and expressions, which come
10、to him in a flash, ever- bubbling spring. There is no resistance: there is perfect assimilation.Then the child has, as it were, private lessons all the year round, while an adult language-student has each week a limited number of hours, which he generally shares with others. The child has another ad
11、vantage: he hears the language in all possible situations, always accompanied by the right kind of gestures and facial expressions. Here there is nothing unnatural, such as is often found in language lessons in schools, when one talks about ice and snow in June or scorching heat in January. And what
12、 a child hears is generally what immediately interests him. Again and again, when his attempts at speech are successful, his desires are understood and fulfilled.Finally, though a childs “teachers“ may not have been trained in language teaching, their relations with him are always close and personal
13、. They take great pains to make their lessons easy.(分数:7.00)(1).Compared with adults learning a foreign language, children learn their native language with ease.A. Right B. Wrong C.

17、数:1.00)A.B.C.三、第 3部分:概括大意与完成句子(总题数:1,分数:8.00)Hurricanes (龙卷风)1. Did you know that before 1950, hurricanes had no names? They were simply given numbers. The first names were simply Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc. But in 1953, females names were given because of the unpredictability (不可预知) factor of the s
18、torms. In 1979, realizing the sexist (性别歧视的) nature of such names, the lists were expanded to include both men and women.2. Hurricanes and typhoons (台风) are the same things. If they form in the Atlantic, we call these strong storms hurricanes, from the West Indian word hurricane, meaning “big wind“.
19、 And if they are Pacific storms, they are called typhoons from the Chinese taifeng, meaning “great wind“. To be classified as a hurricane, the storm must have maximum winds of at least 75 mph. These storms are big, many hundreds of miles in diameter.3. Hurricanes get their power from water vapor as
20、it gives out its stored-up energy. All water vapor gives out heat as it condenses (凝结) from a gaseous state to a liquid state over fixed points on the equator (赤道). To make a hurricane, you must have extremely wet, warm air, the kind of air that can only be found in tropical region.4. Scientists hav
21、e determined that the heat given out in the process of water condensation can be as high as 95 billion kilowatts per hour. In just one day alone, the storm can produce more energy than many industrialized nations need in an entire year! The problem is that we dont know how to make sure such great en
22、ergy work for us.5. Predicting the path of a hurricane is one of the most difficult tasks for forecasters. It moves at a typical speed of 15 mph. But not always. Some storms may race at twice this speed, then suddenly stop and remain in the same location for several days. It can be maddening (发疯的) i
23、f you live in a coastal area that may be hit.6. The biggest advance in early detection is continuous watch from weather satellites. With these, we can see the storms form and track them fully, from birth to death. While they can still kill people and destroy property, hurricanes will never surprise
24、any nation again.(分数:8.00)(1).A. A Short History of Naming HurricanesB. Harnessing the Hurricane EnergyC. Difficulty in Forecasting the Course of a HurricaneD. Huge Energy Stored in a HurricaneE.

27、题数:1,分数:15.00)A Sunshade for the PlanetEven with the best will in the world, reducing our carbon emissions is not going to prevent global warming. It has become clear that even if we take the most strong measures to control emissions, the uncertainties in our climate models still leave open the poss
28、ibility of extreme warming and rises in sea level. At the same time, resistance by governments and special interest groups makes it quite possible that the actions suggested by climate scientists might not be implemented soon enough.Fortunately, if the worst comes to the worst, scientists still have
29、 a few tricks up their sleeves. For the most part they have strongly resisted discussing these options for fear of inviting a sense of complacency that might thwart efforts to tackle the root of the problem. Until now, that is. A growing number of researchers are taking a fresh look at large-scale “
30、geoengineering“ projects that might be used to counteract global warming. “I use the analogy of methadone,“ says Stephen Schneider, a climate researcher at Stanford University in California who was among the first to draw attention to global warming. “If you have a heroin addict, the correct treatme
31、nt is hospitalization, and a long rehab. But if they absolutely refuse, methadone is better than heroin.“Basically the idea is to apply “sunscreen“ to the whole planet. One astronomer has come up with a radical plan to cool Earth; launch trillions of feather-light discs into space, where they would
32、form a vast cloud that would block the suns rays. Its controversial, but recent studies suggest there are ways to deflect just enough of the sunlight reaching the Earths surface to counteract the warming produced by the greenhouse effect. Global climate models show that blocking just 1.8 percent of
33、the incident energy in the suns rays would cancel out the warming effects produced by a doubling of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. That could be crucial, because even the most severe emissions-control measures being proposed would leave us with a doubling of carbon dioxide by the end of this ce
34、ntury, and that would last for at least a century more.(分数:15.00)(1).According to the first two paragraphs, the author thinks that _.A. strong measures have been taken by the government to prevent global warmingB. to reduce carbon emissions is all impossible missionC. despite the difficulty, scienti
35、sts have some options to prevent global warmingD. actions suggested by scientists will never be realized(分数:3.00)A.B.C.D.(2).Scientists resist talking about their options because they dont want people to _.A. know what they are doingB. feel their efforts are uselessC. think the problem has been solv

Methadone is not a correct way to treat a heroin addict.C. Hospitalization together with methadone can work effectively
37、with a heroin addict.D. Methadone and heroin are equally effective in treating a heroin addict.(分数:3.00)A.B.C.D.(4).What is Stephen Schneiders idea of preventing global warming?A. To ask governments to take stronger measures.B. To increase the sunlight reaching the Earth.C. To apply sunscreen to the

It deflects sunlight reaching the Earth to counteract the warming.B. It blocks the incident energy in the suns rays.C. It is a controversial method.D. I

You might imagine that Casper was raised to be an adventurous thinker, but de Bono name
40、 was so famous, Caspers parents worried that any time he would say something bright at school, his teachers might snap, “Where do you get that idea from?“We had to be careful and not overdo it,“ Edward admits. Now Casper is at Oxford which once looked unlikely because he is also slightly dyslexic (诵
41、读困难). In fact, when he was applying to Oxford, none of his school teachers thought he had a chance. “So then we did several thinking sessions,“ his father says, “using my techniques and, when he went up for the exam, he did extremely well.“ Soon after, Edward de Bono decided to write his latest book
42、, Teach Your Children How to Think, in which he transforms the thinking skills he developed for brain-storming businessmen into informal exercises for parents and children to share.Thinking is traditionally regarded as something executed in a logical sequence, and everybody knows that children arent
43、 very logical. So isnt it an uphill battle, trying to teach them to think? “You know,“ Edward de Bono says, “if you examine peoples thinking, it is quite unusual to find faults of logic. But the faults of perception are huge! Often we think ineffectively because we take too limited a view.“Teach You
44、r Child How to Think offers lessons in perception improvement, of clearly seeing the implications of something you are saying and of exploring the alternatives.(分数:15.00)(1).What is TRUE about Casper?A. He is Edwards son.B. He is an adventurous thinker.C. He first described lateral thinking.D. He is
