For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use

16、one word that best fits each blank. (A) Learning in ChinaWe can always hear voices paring the educational systems in China and the US. It s true that there exist a lot of differences, but this cannot be an excuse (25) having a passive attitudetoward studying in China.When I came back from the US las

17、t year and continued my senior middle school education in China, I sensed many great differences. I thought that school in China was too hard, and that we didn t do enough fun exercise except running around playgrounds together. I was not patient enough and I couldn t help but (26)(cry) to my mom. I

18、n short, I _(2_7_)_ not face thechanges and the pressure.After a long talk with my mother, I realized that though high school life in China is (28) (hard), it can give us more. The pressure helps us learn the true meaning of petition before we step into society, which gives us a (29) (determine) hea

19、rt and teaches us to step forward (30)the reality is. It s like climbing a mountain, which might make you dizzy and nervous, but the top is always there waiting for you as long as you are strong enough (31) (take) one more step.Meanwhile, an easy life is not always good for us. Even some of my Ameri

20、can friends call (32) “ lazy Americans ” , because the school in the US is not always easy. When they go tocollege, they a lso need to work very hard. We plain mainly because we can t see the whole picture.Sometimes we just simply listen to others words without thinking about (33) theytrue. We can t

21、 always plain. Instead, we all need to understand that succetsaskes efforts and tears.(B)Science - A way of ThinkingMany scientists, from their earlier work, have enough knowledge to make good guess as to the solution to a problem which (34) (work) on. In making new discoveries, they may usethe tria

22、l-and-error method, they may draw on past experiences, or they may try to find out (35) others have discovered. They may design new investigations and new ways of testing their results. Scientists have to train themselves to use their brains efficiently.For example, when Thomas A. Edison was trying

23、to make an electric lamp, he needed the only substance inside the bulb (36) would glow brightly without burning up quickly. He triedmore than one thousand times (37) he found the exact substance he could use. After he hadexperimented for a long time, someone asked Mr. Edison whether he was discourag

24、ed at the waste of time. He replied,“ I have not been wasting time. I (38)(find) one thousand materials thatwon t work. Now I can look for others.” Edison s statement is very important. Above all, scientistsdemand to know when and where they are wrong. A good question to ask in science is not“ Arigh

25、t? ” but “ Am I wrong? ”.Scientists spend many years of study (39) (train) themselves to use their brains andthe tools of investigation. They also use each other wsork. Isaac Newton, (40) who is unique British scientist, said he saw further than others because he stood on the shoulders of giants.Sec

26、tion BDirections: plete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. dominanceB. consistentC. necessarilyD. adaptedE. senseF. emergenceG. expressiveH. simplyI. evolvedJ. copiedK. actuallyGrammar is universal a

27、nd plays a vital part in every language. So the question which has puzzled many linguists is: who created grammar?In order to answer the question of how plex languages are 41 formed, the researcher needs to observe how languages are started from scratch. To find out how grammar is created, someone n

28、eeds to be present at the time of a language 'creation, documenting its 42 . At first, it seems that this question is impossible to answer. Amazingly, this is possible.Some of the most recent languages 43 due to the Atlantic slave trade, when slaves from a number of different ethnicities were fo

29、rced to work together under the colonizer44 . Since ' sthey had no opportunity to learn each other ;languages, they developed a make-shift language called a pidgin （混杂语）.Pidgins are strings of words 45 from the language of the landowner. Interestingly, however, all it takes for a pidgin to bee a

30、 plex language is for a group of children to be exposed to it at the time when they learn their mother tongue. Slave children did not 46 copy the strings of words uttered by their elders, they 47 their words to create a new language.Further evidence of this can be seen in studying sign languages for

31、 the deaf. Previously, all deaf people were isolated from each other, but in 1979 a government introduced schools for the deaf. Although children were taught speech and lip reading in the classroom, in the playgrounds they began to invent their own sign system, which was basically a pidgin. Each chi

32、ld used the signs differently, and there was no 48 grammar. However, when this inventive sign system was already around, a quite different sign language was developed.Therefore it would appear that even the most widespread languages were partly created by children. Children appear to have innate （天生

33、的）grammatical machinery in their brains, which springs to life when they are first trying to make 49 of the world around them. Their minds can serve to create 50 , plex structures, even when there is no existing grammar for them to copy.III. Reading prehension Section ADirections: For each blank in

34、the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle viewed laughter as“ a bodily exercise precious to health.But 51 some claims to the contrary, laughing quietly probably

35、 has little influence on physical fitness. Laughter does _ 52_ short-term changes in the activity of the heart and its blood vessels, boosting heart rate and oxygen consumption. But because hard laughter is difficult to _ 53_, a good laugh is unlikely to have _ 54_ benefits the way, say, walking or

36、jogging does.55一 , instead of stretching muscles tightly to build them, as exercise does, laughter apparently acplishes the 56. Studies dating back to the 1930s indicate that laughter57 muscles, decreasing muscle tone for up to 45 minutes after the noisy laugh dies down.Such bodily reaction might im

37、aginably help moderate the effects of psychological stress. After all, the act of laughing probably does give rise to other types of 58 feedback that improve an individual emosti onal state. 59 one classical theory of emotion, our feelings are partially rooted in physical reactions. It was argued at

38、 the end of the 19 th century that humans do not cry because they are sad but they bee sad when the tears begin to flow.Although sadness also es before tears, evidence suggests that emotions can flow from muscular 60 . In an experiment published in 1988, social psychologist Fritz Strack of the Unive

39、rsity of w irzburg in Germany and his colleagues asked volunteers to 61 a pen either with their teeth - thereby creating an artificial smile or with their lips, which would cause a(n) _ 62 expression. Those forced to exercise their smiling muscles 63 more cheerfully to funny cartoons than did those

44、oup of baboons (狒狒)in the Namibian desert, Dr. Alecia Carter of the Department of Zoology, Cambridge University set baboons learning tasks involving a novel food and a familiar food hidden in a box. Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task, wh

45、ile others had to learn for themselves. To work out how brave or anxious the baboons were, Dr. Carter presented them either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake.She found that personality had a major impact on learning. The braver baboons learnt, but the shy ones

46、 did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did. In effect, despite being made aware of what to do, they were still too shy to do what the experienced baboon did.The same held true for anxious batx>OQS compared

47、 with calm ones. The anxious individuals leamt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not evun though they spent more time watching.This mismarch between collecting social inihrmation and using it shows that personality playw a key role in social learning in animaJsr something

48、 that has previously been Reared in studies on how animals learn to do things. The findings are significant because they suggest tliat animals may perform poorly in cognitive (认知的) tasks not because they aren't clever enougji to solve them, but because they are too shy or nervous to use ±e

49、social information.The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning. If some individuals are unable to get information from others because they don' t associate with the knowledgeable individuals, or they are too shy to use the information o

50、nce they have it, information may not travel between all group members, preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning.66. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The design of Dr. Carter' s research.B. The results of Dr. Carter' s research.C. The purpose of Dr. Carter &#
