A mistake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value.The mistake was made more than a hundred

16、 years ago in the British colony of Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a London printer Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps.Before the order was filled and delivered, a ball was planned at Mauritius Government Ho

17、use, and stamps were needed to send out the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy the design for the stamps.

20、ldren start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; theres no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your childrens curiosity. Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a clas

21、sroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions“ about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, “Now that were finished with your lists, do you have questions of y

22、our own about science?“After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper (蚱蜢) eat? When 1 try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?“This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years hav

23、e shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time“ to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers.Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a c

24、hild involved in a science discussion, dont jump in with “Thats right“ or “Very good“. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “Thats interesting“ or “Id nev

25、er thought of it that way before“, or coining up with more questions or ideas.Never push a child to “Think“. It doesnt make sense, children are always thinking, without your telling them to. Whats more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want,

26、in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement.Lastly, show; dont tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying-g

27、lass(放大镜), and theyll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates (蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.23 According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interest, the most important th

28、ing for adults to do is_.（A）to let them see the world around（B） to share the childrens curiosity（C） to explain difficult phrases about science（D）to supply the children with lab equipment24 In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the word “lists“ could best be replaced by_.（A）any questions（B） an

29、y problems（C） questions from textbooks（D）any number of questions25 According to the passage, children can answer questions in a more logical, complete and creative way if adults_.（A）ask them to answer quickly（B） wait for one or two seconds after a question（C） tell them to answer the next day（D）wait

30、at least for three seconds after a question26 In which of the following paragraph(s) does the author tell us what to say to encourage children in a science discussion?（A）The second and third.（B） The fourth and fifth.（C） The fifth and sixth.（D）The seventh.27 The author mentions all of the following t

31、echniques for adults to share with their childrens curiosity except that adults should_.（A）tell their children stories instead of reciting facts（B） offer their children chances to see things for themselves（C） be patient enough when their children answer questions（D）encourage their children to ask qu

32、estions of their own27 At the dawn of the 20th century, Antarctica was the last theater for heroic adventure and exploration on the planet.Explorers called it “White Hell.“ Although there were no dangerous beasts or jungle bush to block a would-be heros way, there were obstacles unlike all others: t

33、emperatures that can drop to minus 100 degrees Fahrenheit and winds that can blow at a speed of 200 miles an hour.In 1914, Sir Ernest Shackleton and a crew of 27 men set sail for the frozen continent. His miss: on was to claim one of the last remaining prizes in Earth exploration for Britain: to be

34、the first to cross the icy continent on foot.Shackletons expedition stopped when his ship, The Endurance, became frozen in pack ice about 80 miles from his mainland destination. He and his crew comprising scientists, seamen, officers, 69 sled dogs, two pigs, and a cat spent months camping on The End

35、urance.The ship was eventually crushed by ice and sank. For five months, Shackleton and his crew survived on drifting ice packs.When supplies ran low, the captain decided to set sail again in the ships lifeboats. This rescue attempt turned out to be a painful week-long journey on high seas. Finally,

36、 Shackleton landed on a large piece of rock called Elephant Island. From there, he sent a small crew to the whaling stations at South Georgia Island, 800 miles away across the worlds most violent stretch of ocean.When The Endurance began to sink, Frank Hurley, whom Shackleton chose to record the voy

37、age, managed to save most of the plate-glass negatives as well as an album of photos he had already printed. Although Shackletons trans-Antarctic expedition failed, his heroic adventure won him a place as one of the bravest polar explorers ever.28 Which of the following particularly makes Antarctica

38、 a dangerous place?（A）Wild beasts.（B） High mountains.（C） Jungle bush.（D）Low temperatures.29 We can infer from the passage that_.（A）human beings had explored most of the dangerous places on earth by the early 20th century（B） Shackleton went to Antarctica to win a prize（C） no one had been to Antarctic

39、a before Shackleton（D）Frank Hurley was braver than Shackleton because he recorded the whole voyage faithfully.30 We know from the passage that Shackleton and his men were saved by_.（A）a ship passing by（B） themselves（C） Frank Hurley（D）people on the Elephant Island31 Shackleton was regarded as a hero

40、because_.（A）he crossed Antarctica on foot（B） he took many photos of Antarctica（C） he showed great courage in the face of danger（D）he had many adventures32 Which of the following was not a purpose of Shackletons adventure?（A）To do scientific research.（B） To show his strength.（C） To explore a dangerou

41、s place.（D）To know more about Antarctica.32 Who are the most beautiful women in the world? Looking at the records, people might think Venezuelan women are. They win the Miss Latin American, Miss Universe, and Miss World contests more frequently than women from any other country. In Venezuela, the te

42、rm “Miss“ as in “Miss Universe“ is an honored title.These days, people in some cultures consider beauty contests to be silly. They have tried to stop these contests, saying the contests treat women as objects and place too much importance on womens looks. But in Latin America, beauty contests are a

43、source of pride.Are Venezuelan women really more beautiful than other women? “They are not really more beautiful here,“says Selena, who trains girls for the contest. “Its just that the girls here work harder and prepare more than anyone else.“The preparation takes many hours a day. The contestants s

44、tretch their bodies and practice then-walks down the runway. They work on their speeches and practice answering questions such as, “Whom do you admire most in the world?“ They starve to stay slim.They take classes to learn how to style their hair and apply make-up.It isnt easy. One Miss Universe win

45、ner immediately put on 20 pounds after the contest. She said the only thing she wanted to do after the contest was to eat. The cost is high as well. Fortunately the television station that holds the contest pays the costs.Yet most of the contestants say its worth the effort. A former Miss Universe i

46、s now mayor of a district in a large city. Although she had no political experience before that, she has been asked to run for higher political office. Another winner has her own television show. Winners have an advantage they could not get anywhere else. “Its the only chance you have to make it. “s
