britain will know, urban foxes are now commonplace. i recently saw one in the middle of the day, wandering along a street in pimlico. twenty years ago, that sight would have stopped the traffic. now, it is barely worth a remark. foxes are large animals, as big as many dogs. of course, as in the terrifying incident at homerton, one would attack a baby sooner or later. actually, this has already happened. in 2002, at dartford in kent, a fox bit a 14-week-old boy in the living room of the family home while his mother was sleeping. the last government preferred to ignore the incident; it was, after all trying to ban foxhunting at the time. it could see that some folk love urban foxes, perhaps having the same affection for wildlife as the people i have seen in london parks feeding rats along with squirrels and ducks. the foxites even include animal scientists, who would seem to have persuaded bristol city council (whose advisory living with urban foxes has been adopted by the chartered institute of environmental health) that foxes never attack humans. but then they also deny that country foxes target lambs, when every hill farmer i know would tell them differently. a lamb is much the same size as a baby. it is no more difficult to get into a house than into a hen cage. according to living with urban foxes, “the fox population is stable”, and has not significantly increased. is this true? when i first lived in london in the late 1970s, urban foxes had an almost mythical status. they were like yetis. you never saw one; you werent sure they really existed. now, they are part of the scene. i wouldnt be surprised to find one. friends in the suburbs are plagued（困扰）with them. a study in bristol showed that an astonishing 8 percent of pets caged in gardens are killed by foxes each year. surely, if foxes are now harming babies, it is time for something to be done about them, yet this is not as straightforward as it might seem. while country residents refer to foxes as harmful animals, that is not how they are officially classified; this means that local authorities do not have a statutory obligation（法定的义务）to control them. it would be an easy thing for this government to change the legislation.31.what is the authors purpose in writing the passage?a. to urge the government to control urban foxes.b. to show how to provide food for urban foxes.c. to protect urban foxes from traffic accidents.d. to prove urban foxes are not dangerous as expected.32.the underlined word “foxites” in paragraph 3 probably refers to those who _.a. hate urban foxesb. love urban foxesc. support foxhuntingd. oppose foxhunting33.what is the authors attitude toward living with urban foxes?a. support.b. praise. c. disbelief. d. tolerance.34.what kind of people is the author worried about most?a. farmers.b. students.c. drivers. d. babies.bone day edward brought a caterpillar ( a kind of worm) into the classroom he had found in an ear of corn. we placed the caterpillar in a glass fish tank with a metal mesh（网状物）cover for its protection. we couldnt be sure what type of leaves the caterpillar would eat, but as it had been found in an ear of corn we decided to feed it leaves from particular garden vegetables.soon we began collecting information about the caterpillar and noticing changes. the children wrote about what they saw in small groups. three weeks into the caterpillar observation, the teacher started a whole-group discussion going like this:teacher: “what do you notice about the caterpillar?”students: “its twice as big as when edward brought it to the class.”the students also commented that the caterpillars color had changed yellowish and brownish colors clearly appeared.teacher: “what do you think will happen next?”students: “i think its gonna make a cocoon（茧）.”teacher: “wait a minute! what do you mean? the caterpillar will become a cocoon?”there was a considerable pause allowing the children to organize their thoughts and make a prediction. at this point we took an informal survey showing more than half the class believed the caterpillar would make a cocoon.then, to further our learning, we connected the research to literature by reading the very hungry caterpillar by eric carle(1969). this book presents a fictional account of the “transformation” undergoing by a caterpillar: egg larva pupa butterfly. when reading the book, the teacher used the terms kids already knew like larva or pupa. she also pointed out an error in the book, moths have cocoons and butterflies have chrysalides（蝶蛹）.eventually, it developed a cocoon, which lay unnoticed for a week as the children had become distracted by other activities and events in our school and classroom. one day, the class noticed an open “case” with the contents gone. the children decided the caterpillar had “finished growing” and had changed into a butterfly or a moth. they guessed the creature had managed to escape through a tear in the mesh cover of the tank and found its way to a nearby park where there were many trees and some gardens. all these conjectures seemed reasonable and were supported by the teacher.35.the children gave the caterpillar vegetable leaves in the garden as food based on _.a. what it looked likeb. where it tended to make its wayc. where it had been found d. what they had learned from watching itcchannel

babies, they will only remember one of those objects. but a new study, which was published in an issue of psychological science, a journal of the association for psychological science, finds that when babies “forget” about an object, not all is lost. researchers used to think that babies less than two years old did not understand that an object continues to exist when it is not in the babys view. but in the mid-1980s, new ways of doing experiments with babies found that they do, in fact, know that objects dont disappear when they are not looking at them a concept known as object permanence. but it was still unknown what babies needed to remember about objects in order to remember their existence. now melissa kibbe, of johns hopkins university, and alan leslie, of rutgers university, are working to figure out exactly what it is that babies remember about objects. for the new study, they showed six-month-old babies two objects, a disk and a triangle. then they hid the objects behind small screens, first one shape, then the other. earlier research has shown that young babies can remember what was hidden most recently, but have more trouble remembering the first object that was hidden. once the shapes were hidden, they lifted the screen in front of the first object. sometimes they showed babies the shape that was hidden there originally, but sometimes it was the other shape, and sometimes the object had vanished completely. psychologists measure how long babies look at something to see how surprised they are. in kibbe and leslies study, babies werent particularly surprised to see that the shape hidden behind the screen had changed, for example, from a triangle to a disk. but if the object was gone altogether, the babies looked significantly longer, indicating surprise at an unexpected outcome. “this shows that even though babies dont remember the shape of the object, they know that it should continue to exist,” kibbe says. “they remember the object without remembering the features that identify that object.” this helps explain how the young brain processes information about objects, leslie says. he thinks the brain has a structure that acts like a kind of pointer, a mental finger that points at an object.42.before the study, which of the following was unclear?a. whether babies know objects are gone.b. why babies were interested in what was hidden.c. what made babies remember objects existence.d. whether babies can remember what was hidden first.43.in the second paragraph, the underlined word “vanished” probably means _.a. disappearedb. forgotten c. discovered d. hidden44.the study is beneficial to know _.a. whether babies can remember features of hidden objectsb. how the young brain deals with information about objects c. whether babies were surprised when they found the objects disappearedd. why babies less than two years did not understand a hidden object still existed45.which would be the best title for the passage?a. a new concept object permanence b. what babies remember about objects c. a new study on psychology d. all remembered isnt lost第二卷 非选择题（两部分，共40分）第四部分：任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。we live in a time when the day is controlled by selfishness and greed. the battle of selfishness and greed has been increasingly fierce and there have been many casualties, but desire has tired too many people and we find that the populated areas of the twenty-first century have lost hope for the boring symphony of selfishness. now i have several suggestions that will get you back on your feet, so that you can continue walking down the road of life with your head held high, arm in arm with your fellow man as equal.money isnt everything. there exists a common understanding that everything around us is measured by money and an assumption that the meaning of life is to make as much of it as humanly possible, so that you can live a comfortable and luxurious life. it is clear that money is indeed necessary to get through life, whether spent on food or shelter, but the air we breathe and the love we share are both free and extremely rewarding. too many people die alone, only to be remembered for their full bank accounts or their shocking debts, so we must be remembered for our kindness to others and contributions to society.share with others. a miser is a person who cares extremely about their wealth and takes from everyone everything, with only one thing in their mind that they demand more. not only are misers hated by the people surrounding them, but they are also the death of many men. some of us will never admit that they take far more than they give. we are supposed to give a little, even if we receive nothing in return. show generosity to your friends, co-workers, family, neighbors and you will be on your way to removing the greed from your life.act unselfishly. we must learn to act unselfishly for people and help whoever in need, not because doing so makes us feel superior, not to expect something in return either, but because it helps them survive, which makes them feel connected with the world, with a smile on their face and a strong need to give to others. by acting unselfishly, we will teach others how to act unselfishly too. next time you stick your neck out for a selfish miser, be optimistic and think that maybe he will learn to pay it forward by following your example.the current (46） _ nowadays selfishness and greed have controlled our life, the battle of which have been much fierce.how toremove thegreed fromyour lifehave a right (47) _
