Liz PayneBFive years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said:”Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today - and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style. of thinking. Without fail one would declare, ” But Im just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when youre asleep？”“Oh, sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “Thats pretty creative. Who does that for you？”“Nobody. I do it.”“Really-at night, when youre asleep？”“Sure.”“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay？”4. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to _？A. raise the students interest in art B. make the lessons more excitingC. know more about the students D. teach the students about toy design5. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3？A. He was imaginative. B. He preferred to study alone.C. He was active in class. D. He liked to help his teacher.6. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean？A. Mistake. B. Drawback.C. Difficulty. D. Burden.7. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams？ A.To find out about their ways of thinking B. To find out about their sleeping habits.C. To help them to improve their memory. D. To help them to see their creativity CA warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good nights sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod offif it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice(老鼠) being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at nightThose given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists营养学家 recommending skimmed milk脱脂奶 as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.8.According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_.A. started sleep more easily B. were less activeC. were more anxious D. woke up later9.Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?A.

Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations major food sources (来源) for the wolf grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park s red foxes, and completely drove away the park s beavers.As early as 1966,biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park.They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk麋鹿 and coyote郊狼 problems.Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves. The U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone.Today,the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone.Elk,deer,and coyote populations are down,while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback.The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.12.What is the text mainly about?A.Wildlife research in the United States.B.Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.C. The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.D. The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.13.What does the underlined word “displaced” in paragraph 2 mean?A.Tested. B.Separated. C.Forced out.

You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. 16 Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, theyll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.First of all, good talkers ask questions. _ 17 One wellknown businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. Its a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters sometimes to really personal questions. 18 Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isnt. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively聚精会神._19 If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that hes really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, its time for you to change the subject.Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If youre saying goodbye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “Ive really enjoyed meeting you.” 20 Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if theyve known you half their life.AYou can become a popular person.BThese people have something in common CIts polite to listen to others with a smile.DReal listening at least means some things.EIf you want to see that person again, dont keep it a secret.FAnd how he answers will let you know how far you can go.GAlmost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question.第二部分 英语知识运用（共一小节，满分30分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的（A、B、C、D） 四个选项中选出能填入相应空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Imagine being born without arms.
