7、 your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.10 Venus(金星)is known as the earths “twin“ because the two planets are so like each other in size. The diameter of Venus is about 7, 520 miles(12,100 km.), smaller than that of the earth. No other planet comes closer to the earth

8、than Venus. At its nearest approach it is about 25,000,000 miles(40,2000,000 km.)away.As seen from the earth, Venus is the first planet or star that can be seen in the western sky in the evening. At other times, it is the last planet or star that can be seen in the eastern sky in the morning. When V

9、enus is near its brightest point, it can be seen in daylight. Early astronomers called the object that appeared in the evening Hesperus, and Phosphorus in the morning. Later, they realized these two objects were the same planet. They named it Venus in honor of the Roman goddess of love and beauty.11

13、nd the Earth（C） Venusthe Earths “Twin“（D）The Nearest Neighbor15 It might be supposed that greater efficiency could be achieved if several people worked together to solve a problem than if only one individual works on it.Although groups often may increase the motivation of their members to deal with

14、problems, there are conflicts arising among members of a group. Problem solving needs the presence of an effective leader who not only provides direction, but also permits the orderly, constructive expression of different opinions: much of the leaders effort may be devoted to resolving differences.

15、Success in problem solving also depends on the distribution of ability within a group.Although groups may reach a greater number of correct solutions, or may require less time to discover an answer, their efficiency is typically lower than that achieved by skilled individuals working alone.In brains

16、torming, a problem is presented to a group of people who then proceed to offer whatever they can think of. Theoretically these unrestricted suggestions increase the probability that at least some better solutions will appear. Nevertheless, studies show that when individuals work alone under similar

17、conditions, performance tends to proceed more efficiently than it does in groups.Under special circumstances, however, a group may solve problems more effectively than a competent individual does. Group members may contribute different resources to a solution that no individual can achieve alone. So

18、metimes social demands may require group agreement on a single issue, as in making national economic or military policies under the governments. When only one among several solutions is correct, even if a group requires more time, it has a higher probability of identifying the right one than does an

19、 individual alone.16 In a group, problem solving needs_.（A）the presence of an effective leader（B） the best way to collect resources（C） everyone to work harder（D）more funds17 According to the author, it is easier for groups to reach_.（A）mistakes they want to make（B） the place which they want to go（C）

21、cussing directions（B） correcting mistakes（C） dealing with national problems（D）finding a problem20 According to the author, which of the following statement is TRUE?（A）A group of people may solve problems more effectively than an individual.（B） The efficiency of a group is worst in the world.（C） A gr

22、oup will not be efficient in dealing with national policies.（D）Effective leaders often solve the problems themselves.20 Do we need laws that prevent us from running risks with our lives? If so, then perhaps laws are needed prohibiting the sale of alcoholic drinks.Weve already tried that. For 13 year

23、s, between 1920 and 1933, there were no liquor stores anywhere in the United States. They were shut downabolished by an amendment(修正案 ). After January 20, 1920, there was supposed to be no more manufacturing, selling, or transporting of “intoxication liquors. “ Without any more liquor, people could

24、not drink it. And if they did not drink it, how could they get drunk? There would be no more dangers to the public welfare from drunkenness and alcoholism. It was all very logical. And yet prohibition of liquor, beer, and wine did not work. Why?Because, law or no law, millions of people still liked

25、to drink alcohol. And they were willing to take risks to get it. They were not about to change their tastes and habits just because of a change in the law. And gangs of liquor smugglers made it easy to buy an illegal drinkor two or three. They smuggled millions of gallons of the illegal beverages(饮料

26、 )across the Canadian and Mexican borders. Drinkers were lucky to know of an illegal bar that served Mexican or Canadian liquor. Crime and drunkenness were both supposed to decline as a result of prohibition. Instead people drank more alcohol than everoften poisoned alcohol.On December 5, 1933, they

27、 removed prohibition by approving the 21st Amendment to the Constitution.21 All of the following were reasons for the proposal of the 18th Amendment to the Constitution and the Volstead Act, except that_.（A）there would be no further danger to the public from alcoholism（B） there would be a rise in th
