14、ed the South Vietnamese government. This governments policies led to rebellion in the South. In 1965 the United States sent in troops to prevent the South Vietnamese government from collapsing.

21、or. Their learning and problem-solving skills, together with their curiosity and often eager interactions with humans, have led some scientists to believe that whales possess a high level of intelligence. The large brains of whales also suggest a high intelligence. The sperm whale (抹香鲸 )s brain is c

22、onsiderably larger than an elephants, brain and six times the size of a human brain. However, relative to the rest of the body, a sperm whales brain is only about 0.02 percent of its body weight, while a human brain is about 2 percent. These animals tend to rely on hearing more than vision, which ex

23、plains why the visual centers of their brains are smaller proportionally than those in humans. Another feature is the degree of folding of the upper surface of the brain. This folding increases the surface area and has been observed in more intelligent animals. Whale brains generally show as much or

24、 more folding area as is seen in humans. Complex behavior may reveal more about whale intelligence than brain size. Perhaps the most interesting indications of whale intelligence came with the discovery in the 1970s of whale singing. Singing is most common on the winter mating grounds, for example i

25、n the Caribbean and Hawaii. There is no solid evidence that the songs encode language in an intellectual sense. The whale songs may be simply longer versions of the mating songs also noted in birds and amphibians (两栖动物 ). 26 The best title for this passage would be _ . （ A） Studies of Whales in Capt

26、ivity （ B） Whales Physiology and Social Behavior （ C） Study of Whales Intelligence （ D） Whale 27 Which of the following does not illustrate the intelligence about whale? （ A） Their learning and problem-solving skills, together with their curiosity and often eager interactions with humans. （ B） The l

30、ts burning chemical fuels. The first stage of a multistage rocket consists of rocket engines that provide a huge amount of force. The first stage lifts the entire launch vehicle-with its load of fuel, the rocket body, and the satellite-off the launch pad (发射台 ) and into the first part of the flight.

31、 After its engines use all their fuel, the first stage portion of the rocket separates from the rest of the launch vehicle and falls to the earth. The second stage then ignites, providing the energy necessary to lift the satellite into orbit. It, too, then separates from the satellite and any remain

32、ing rocket stages. The rest of the launch depends on the satellites mission. And a third rocket stage provides the energy to lift the satellite to its final orbital altitude. After the satellite has reached the final altitude, another rocket engine fires and gives the satellite a circular orbit. All

33、 rocket-engine burns occur at a precise moment and last for a precise amount of time so that the satellite achieves its proper position in space. In 1990 the United States began launching some satellites from aircraft flying at high altitudes. This method still requires a rocket-powered launch vehic

34、le, but because the vehicle does not have to overcome friction with the thick atmosphere found at low altitudes, much less fuel is needed. However, the size of the rocket is limited by the size and strength of the aircraft, so only smaller satellites can be launched this way. 31 What is the main ide

35、a about the passage? （ A） Placing a satellite into orbit. （ B） Multistage rockets. （ C） Launching some satellites from aircraft. （ D） Rocket launching. 32 According to the second paragraph, which of the following is NOT true? （ A） The first stage of a multistage rocket consists of rocket engines tha

36、t provide a large amount of force. （ B） The first stage lifts the entire launch vehicle off the launch pad and into the first part of the flight. （ C） After its engines use up its fuel, the first stage part of the rocket separates from the rest of the launch vehicle and falls to the space. （ D） The

37、entire launch vehicle includes its load of fuel, the rocket body, and the satellite. 33 In the sentence “The second stage then ignites, providing the energy necessary to lift the satellite into orbit.“, “ignites“ means _ . （ A） starts （ B） blasts off （ C） departs （ D） fires 34 Generally speaking how

38、 many stages are there in a multistage rocket? （ A） Two. （ B） Three. （ C） Four. （ D） Five. 35 Which of the following statements is NOT the characteristics of the United States aircraft launching some satellites? （ A） This method still needs a rocket-powered launch vehicle. （ B） The vehicle can pay n

39、o attention to friction with the thick atmosphere. （ C） Much more fuel is needed. （ D） Only smaller satellites can be launched this way. Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1.

42、ebel in 1837 in Blankenburg, Prussia (now part of Germany). Froebel chose the German term kindergarten (childrens garden) because he intended children in his school to grow as freely as flowers in a garden. Frocbels kindergarten was based on the then idea that childrens play was significant. At the

43、time. almost no children under the age of seven attended school, but Froebel designed his kindergarten for children between the ages of three and seven. The kindergarten became widely admired for its revolutionary teaching methods, and Froebels followers soon established other kindergartens based on

44、 his educational philosophy, Froebel developed his own ideas about education by combining his belief in scientific observation with his belief in the interconnection of all things. In addition. Froebel was concerned that the spread of industrialization would negatively affect the family, but he beli

45、eved that. kindergartens could increase the status of mothers and children. Froebels ideas became increasingly popular in the 1840s, but because kindergartens were associated with liberalism and free-thinking, they were banned by the Prussian government after the failure of the liberal revolution of
