a. children have different abilities. b. reading for information needs more skills. c. reasoning is higher than reading and writing in school. d. mathematics is the most difficult in school. 29. which of the following is not mentioned in this passage?a. basic reading skills.b. ways of thinking.c. who wrote the detective fiction.d. how much to pay for the course. 30. what is the chosen series of fiction mainly about? a. how some brave boys find their cats. b. how some brave children help find the lost cat. c. how people help the boys solve the crime.d. how some brave boys fight against crime. 31. what will mostly likely be presented after this passage? a. the private eyes club mysteries. b. other ways to interest the readers. c. how girls can keep on reading the stories.d. where to buy these interesting stories. dronald hoffman born in 1937 is polish-born american organic chemist and nobel laureate(桂冠). as a theoretical chemist, hoffmann studied energy levels in chemical bonds during chemical reactions. he put computers to use to solve his problems and, despite the complexity of his research, was able to explain his theories and discoveries to the non-specialist. for his work he was awarded the 1981 nobel prize in chemistry, which he shared with fukui kenichi.born in poland, hoffmann settled in new york city as a child and became a united states citizen. he received his undergraduate degree in premedical studies from columbia college in 1958. he attended harvard university, where he received his ph.d. degree in chemical physics in 1962. he joined the faculty of cornell university in the mid-1960s and remained there throughout his career.hoffmann and nobel laureate chemist robert burns woodward developed rules, based on quantum mechanics, to determine how energy levels in atomic electron orbits influence how a chemical reaction takes place. these simple rules, known as the woodward-hoffmann rules, allowed chemists to predict reaction results and was quickly accepted and put to use in a wide variety of situations.hoffmann later turned his research to a variety of problems related to discovering the molecular structure of inorganic and organometallic compounds. hoffmann is also known for what is called the isolobal analogy, which is yet another discovery linking all areas of chemistry. it is useful in predicting the behavior of new molecules based on the orbit structure of the components used to form them.aided by computers, hoffmann was able to generate a vast amount of data to support his ideas. unlike the scientific papers of many chemists, hoffmanns publications contain little raw data but instead are filled with diagrams and pictures to explain his results. his drawings of shaded balloons to indicate eigenvectors, a unit used in mathematics, are now the accepted scientific notation for illustrating this value.32. what can be inferred from the above passage about hoffman? a. he left his homeland when he got the nobel prize. b. he went to the united states to gain his nobel prize. c. he might find the unites states a better place to learn chemistry. d. his family may have settled in the united states. 33. how did hoffman make his research popular? a. he applied some computer skills to help explain his ideas. b. he established a special computer system to help. c. he drew some forms explaining his ideas. d. he did series of experiments to prove his ideas. 34. the underlined word “generate” in this passage might most probably mean “_”.a. bring in b. break downb. move awayd. keep secret 35. why was ronald hoffman awarded the 1981 nobel prize for chemistry?a. he established rules to predict chemical reactions . b. he succeeded applying computer science to chemistry research.c. he shared what he had achieved with another scientist named fukui kenichi.d. he succeeded in both chemistry and computer researches.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。most people actually do not know how to do basic first aid on mild burns. it is normally taken for granted since most people think that soacking (浸泡) the burn with water is the way to go. 36 once the burn appears, you will surely feel much pain on the actual burned skin. technically, this is the time to stay calm. 37 finding a source of running water is recommended. however, if there is none, any source will do. if there is running water, simply place the burned area under it and allow it to soak the water for about 5 to 10 minutes. 38 if you have access to ice or a cold compress（冷敷布）, you can use that as well. you can place the ice or cold compress on the affected area and leave it there about 15 to 30 minutes. the ice will numb the pain and will also stop more injury on the skin. after soaking in water or cooling the area with ice, remove from the water source and allow the moisture to dry naturally. you may also consider patting it down dry with a towel or napkin, however, this could damage the burnt skin even more. 39 as soon as the area dries up completely, get a bandage or a strip of cloth. 40 this will protect that area from infection caused by outside dirt and dust getting into the open burn. a. call a doctor may as well help in most burn cases.b. the thing is that treating a mild burn goes deeper than just soaking the affected part in water.c. it is best to dry it naturally instead. d. wrap it around the burn to cover the open area of skin.e. the truth is that soaking is the last thing to do to deal with mild burn. f. the first thing you will need to do will be to find a clean water source.g. this will relieve some of the pain, cool down the skin, and stop additional burning.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。nowadays a lot of people will like to have some adventurous experience. some will try to go to the 41 sea to have a close look at the bottom of it 42 some others will like to arise into the sky 43 up till now to greet the so-called heavens. but you see, 44 all of them will have good memory after the adventures. dont you believe that?
