his wife, elizabeth mccourt, better known as “baby doe”. their history is fast becoming one of the legends of the old west. horace austin warner tabor was a school teacher in vermont. then he moved west to the small colorado mining camp known as california gulch, which he later renamed leadville when he became its leading citizen. “great deposits of lead are sure to be found here.” he said.as it turned out, it was silver, not lead, that was to make leadvilles fortune and wealth. tabor knew little about mining himself, so he opened a general store, which sold everything from boots to salt, flour, and tobacco. it was his custom to “grubstake” prospective miners, in other words, to supply them with food and supplies, or “grub”, while they looked for ore（矿石）, in return for which he would get a share in the mine if one was discovered. he did this for a number of years, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.finally one day in the year 1878, so the story goes, two miners came in and asked for “grub”. tabor had decided to quit supplying it because he had lost too much money that way. these were persistent, however, and tabor was too busy to argue with them. “oh help yourself. one more time wont make any difference,” he said and went on selling shoes and hats to other customers. the two miners took $17 worth of supplies, in return for which they gave tabor a one-third interest in their findings. they picked a barren place on the mountain side and began to dig. after nine days they struck a rich vein of silver. tabor bought the shares of the other two men, and so the mine belonged to him alone. this mine, known as the “pittsburgh mine,” made $1,300,000 for tabor in return for his $17 investment.later tabor bought the matchless mine on another barren hillside just outside the town for $117,000. this turned out to be even more fabulous than the pittsburgh, yielding $35,000 worth of silver per day at one time. leadville grew. tabor became its first mayor, and later became lieutenant governor of the state.59which of the following can be the best title for the passage?atabors life. ba legend of the old westclead makes leadvilles fortune dthe best investmentb pupils remember more and behave better when 3d images are used in lessons, research suggests. they are quicker to learn and absorb new concepts, and display higher levels of concentration.professor anne bamford, of the university of the arts, london, studied the effectiveness of 3d content in 15 schools across seven countries, including the uk. pupils in 3d classes could remember more than those in the 2d classes after four weeks, improving test scores by an average 17 percent compared with eight percent for 2d lessons. they gave more detailed answers to the tasks and were more likely to think in 3d, using hand gestures and mime (模仿动作) to answer the test questions successfully.the teachers commented that the pupils in the 3d groups had deeper understanding, increased attention span, more motivation and higher engagement in the lessons.children are used to 3d with the rise of computer games that use the technology90 percent of those in the study had seen a 3d film. schools would need 3d-enabled projectors（投影仪）, laptops with good picture capabilities, 3d software and glasses for children to introduce animations (动作) into classrooms.but danny nicholson, an educationist, said the technology would be impractical to use in schools and could be costly. he said, “while i think the idea of 3d technology is very interesting, i worry that 3d is a bit of an expensive gimmick (小玩意儿). there are a few cases where a true 3d image might help, but most of the time, good 2d models that can be moved , would be just so effective.”in colorado, the us, one school district is already in the process of having 1,000 3d projectors fixed in classrooms. and the university of caledonia, which carries out scientific research into the lake tabon basin, has used 3d presentations with grade six pupils. those who watched the 3d presentations were more engaged and reported a general increase in their interest in science compared with students who watched the 2d version.60. danny nicholson tends to think that .a. many pupils prefer 2d models b. 3d is a bit expensive for some schoolsc. true 3d images would not help in classes d. 3d technology has a bright future in classes61. what can we learn from the last paragraph? a. 3d classes will soon be given in one school district in colorado.b. teachers will use the 3d technology through specific training.c. many pupils are now more interested in science than before.d. 3d technology will replace 2d models in the future.62. what is the text mainly about?a. 2d models are always more effective than 3d images.b. the differences between 3d and 2d images.c. how schools can make full use of 3d technology.d. pupils behave better when 3d images are used in classes. cnorthern lights tourlocated in the middle of the northern lights belt, tromso can offer some of the highest levels of northern lights activity on earth. perhaps tromso is the worlds best place for a northern lights tour.join one of our northern lights holidays this winter. it could become one of the greatest experiences in your life.destination troms county, norway.price $450 per personwhen 2th september until 31st march.pick-up each evening at 6 pm pitside your hotel.drop-off earliest at 12 am. when we have a sighting we often stay out later, at no extra cost.size of group maximum 8 participants is recommended and normal, but not absolute. a small group allows more freedom in terms of chasing the northern lights.included- transportation each day in a comfortable car- a meal each day- all necessary equipment such as snowshoes, flashlight, water-filled bottle, woolen underwear, a war, hat, warm shoes, warm stockings, and reindeer skin to lie on, if needed.- a guide who will do anything necessary to find the northern lights.exciting chasea northern lights holiday means an intense and exciting chase to the coast or deep into the wild, perhaps even to the finnish border. each day on a northern lights tour we contact meteorologists shortly before departure to get accurate information. in order to find out where we will have best chances to see the northern lights.we guarantee a great tripthe northern lights are unpredictable, but we guarantee that we will do everything to find it. patience is a keyword on northern lights tour.eco-tourismwe offer ecologically sustainable and responsible tours. travelling in small groups is an essential part of the ecotourism concept, as small groups have lesser impact on nature and will not disturb the wildlife unnecessarily. din the case of mobile phones, change is everything. recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well first, lets talk about culture. the difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, is that a mobile number corresponds to a person, while a landline goes to a place. if you call my mobile, you get me. if you call my fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it this has several implications（含义）. the most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the “meeting” influence. people no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet. twenty years ago, a friday night would need to be arranged in advance. you needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place. now，however, a night out can be arranged on the run. it is no longer “see you there at 8”，but text me around 8 and well see where we all are. texting changes people as well. in their paper, “insights into the social and psychological effects of sms text messaging, two british researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the “talkers” and the “texters”those who prefer voice to text messages and those who prefer text to voice. they found that the mobile phones individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality. texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts. this suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. there are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone. there is the “speakeasy”: the head is held high, in a self-confident way, chatting away. and there is the “spacemaker”: these people focus on themselves and keep out other people. who can blame them? phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera- phones intrude（侵入）on peoples privacy. so, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. but perhaps you neednt worry so much. after all, it is good to talk.第卷 (非选择题 两部分 共35分)四任务型阅读 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10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一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。scientists, doctors and mental health professionals have been studying the connection between colors and mood for years. many now believe that colors can not only bring about emotional reactions, but can also correct mood. colors behave in three basic ways: active, passive and neutral (中和的). active colors are warm colors, including yellow, orange and red. these colors bring confidence. warm colors can also bring cheerful attitudes. yellows and golden colors work well in offices, kitchens and study areas. reds heat up a room. passive colors or cool colors make people calm, quiet and satisfied. bedrooms, private areas and bathrooms are great places for blues and greens. beige, gray and white are thought of as neutral colors. they help to put the focus on other colors or serve to tone down colors that might otherwise be overpowering on their own.you can easily change the look or feel of a room by making good use of different colors. mixing and matching colors is an excellent way to balance color and emotion, and provide a welcoming feel for guests. to create a feeling of warmth and comfort in a room, use bright, warm colors like yellow, orange and red. these colors are good choices for rooms that appear cool due to limited sunlight. yellow adds cheerfulness to dull rooms. you can add yellows to rooms which are not closely related to happy thoughts, such as kitchens and laundry room. in rooms wh
