A doctor will tell you that the brain is the organ (器官) of the body in the head. But a brain can mean so much more. To tease is to make fun of someone. But a brainteaser is not one who makes fun of someone elses brain. A brainteaser is a puzzle that makes you think. To understand the next brain expression you first need to know the word “drain”. As a verb, to drain means to remove something by letting it flow away. So, a brain drain may sound like a disease where the brain flows out the ears. But a brain drain is when a countrys most educated people leave their country to live in another. Next, we have a brainchild. A brainchild sounds like a really smart kid. But it isnt. A brainchild is an idea that one has without any help from others. If you have a really great idea, it is your brainchild no one elses. However, if many people are responsible for a great idea, you can say they brainstormed it. It is a process of thinking creatively about a difficult topic. For example, business leaders may use brainstorming to create new products. But if you cant find a solution to a problem, you may have to rack your brains. In this way, you may find a solution. Sometimes, you have to rack your brains, trying to remember someones name.Now, if people are brainwashed, it does not mean their brains are nice and clean. To brainwash means to make someone accept new ideas by using repeated pressure in a forceful way. Keep in mind that brainwash is never used in a positive way.24. What can we learn about a brain drain?A. It refers to a brain disease. B. It means a very difficult puzzle.C. It means something that flew away. D. It may put a country at a disadvantage.25. By saying they brainstormed the idea, we mean they_.A. got the idea quickly B. thought poorly of the ideaC. thought up the idea together D. didnt know how to use the idea26. What does the underlined phrase “rack your brains” mean?A. Think hard. B. Become smarter.C. Create new things. D. Touch your head.27. If someone is brainwashed, he _.A. thinks very clearly now B. looks at things negativelyC. is under a lot of pressure D. is forced to accept new thingsC Every day 25 million US children ride school buses. The safety record for these buses is much better than for passenger cars: but nevertheless, about 10 children are killed each year riding on large school buses, and nearly four times that number are killed outside buses in the loading zones. By and large, however, the nations school children are transported to and from school safety.Even though the number of school bus accidents is not large, the safety of children is always of intense public concern. While everyone wants to see children transported safely, people are divided about what needs to be done- particularly whether seat belts should be compulsory.People in favor of seat belts on school buses- many parents and medical organizations -argue that seat belts are necessary not only to reduce fatality（灾祸，死亡）and injury, but also to teach children lessons about the importance of using them routinely in any moving vehicle. A side benefit, they point out, is that seat belts help keep children in their seats, away from the bus driver.People who object to seat belt installation suggest that children are already well protected by the school buses that follow the Nation Highway Traffic Safety Administrations (NHTSA) safety requirements set in 1977. They also believe that many children wont wear seat belts anyway, and that may damage the belts or use them as weapons to hurt other children.A new Research council report on school bus safety suggest that there are alternate safety devices and procedures that may be more effective and less expensive . For example, the study committee suggested that raising seat backs four inches may have the same safety effectiveness as seat belts.The report sponsored by the Department of transportation at the request of Congress, reviews seat belts extensively while taking a broader look at safety in and around school buses.28 According to the passage, the school bus is _.A. is driven by the students B. has no difference from the public busC. offered by the school and different from the public bus D. is not safe29. According to the passage, who has the greatest degree of control of the school buses safety?A. A new Research Council B. The Department of TransportationC. The Medical Organization D. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration30. It can be inferred from this passage that _.A. many of the opponents of seat belt installation are parents and officials of the Department of Transportation.B. proposals of seat belts on school buses would be seriously considered.C. an alternate safety device (raising seat backs four inches) may be taken into consideration.D. the Department of Transportation may either take the idea of seat belts or other measures when it reviews the whole situation31. Which can be the best title for this passage?A. Alternate Safety Devices and Procedures B. Seat Belts Needed on School BusesC. Making School Buses Even Safer for Children D. Safety in and around School BusesDA scientist working at her lab bench and a six-old baby playing with his food might seem to have little in common. After all, the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature of the physical world, and the baby is, well, just playingright? Perhaps, but some developmental psychologists(心理学家)have argued that this “play” is more like a scientific investigation than one might think.Take a closer look at the baby playing at the table. Each time the bowl of rice is pushed over the table edge, it falls to the ground-and, in the process, it brings out important evidence about how physical objects interact(相互作用): bowls of rice do not float in mid-air, but require support to remain stable. It is likely that babies are not born knowing the basic fact of the universe; nor are they ever clearly taught it. Instead, babies may form an understanding of object support through repeated experiments and then build on this knowledge to learn even more about how objects interact. Though their ranges and tools differ, the babys investigation and the scientists experiment appear to share the same aim (to learn about the natural world), overall approach (gathering direct evidence from the world), and logic (are my observations what I expected?).Some psychologists suggest that young children learn about more than just the physical world in this way-that they investigate human psychology and the rules of language using similar means. For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering, and finally overturning a theory, that a baby will come to accept the idea that other people can have different views and desires from what he or she has, for example, unlike the child, Mommy actually doesnt like Dove chocolate. Viewing childhood development as a scientific investigation throws light on how children learn, but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientists. Why do young children and scientists seem to be so much alike? Psychologists have suggested that science as an effort-the desire to explore, explain, and understand our world-is simply something that comes from our babyhood. Perhaps evolution(进化) provided human babies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds, and adult scientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children. The same cognitive（认知的）systems that make young children feel good about figuring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists. As some psychologists put it,“It is not that children are little scientists but that scientists are big children.”32. According to some developmental psychologists, . A. a babys play is nothing more than a gameB. scientific research into babies games is possibleC. the nature of babies play has been thoroughly investigatedD. a babys play is somehow similar to a scientists experiment33. We learn from Paragraph 2 that .A. scientists and babies seem to observe the world differentlyB. scientists and babies often interact with each otherC. babies are born with the knowledge of object supportD. babies seem to collect evidence just as scientists do34. Children may learn the rules of language by .A. exploring the physical world B. investigating human psychologyC. repeating their own experiments D. observing their parents behaviors35. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. The world may be more clearly explained through childrens play.B. Studying babies play may lead to a better understanding of science.C. Children may have greater ability to figure out things than scientists.D. Ones drive for scientific research may become stronger as he grows.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。I was heading home after a long day at work, and I was tired and looking forward to getting home.
