home for a weekend visit.the incident happened about 3pm on a cul-desac（死胡同）in the 1700 block of cedar cove court, said sgt. williams of the harris county sheriffs department.an investigation found that rick james lohstroh, 41, was shot by his son, who was sitting in the back seat of the mans toyota 4-runner, said sgt. williams. the shooting took place outside the home of lohstrohs ex-wife, where the boy lives with his mother and a 7-year-old brother.were not certain of anything until we finish our investigation, williams said. the information we have at this time is that the 10-year-old did fire the weapon.the mother and the 7-year-old were inside the house when the shooting occurred, said williams. williams said the gun belonged to the boys mother. after firing shots through the back seat, the boy exited (离开) the back of the vehicle and continued to fire at the car.the man died on the way to memorial herman hospital.lohstroh was a doctor at the university of texas medical branch.the man and woman shared custody（监护）of the children.williams said the mother and the boy were still in the home talking to investigators friday night.neighbors described the family as being quiet and keeping to themselves.justin gray, 17, was walking in the neighborhood when he heard gunshots. weve had a suicide in this neighborhood once, but never anything like this, gray said.31.the

underlined word suicide most probably means _.a. the act of killing the lives of a whole familyb. an instance ( example ) of deliberately killing oneselfc. the situation of getting on smoothly with othersd. the peaceful surroundingsbwhat makes one person more intelligent than another? what makes one person a genius, like the brilliant albert einstein, and another person a fool? are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? these are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.we know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. in some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. it needs exercise. mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. the children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. if, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. according to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. so it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “that was a very clever thing you did.” or “you are such a smart child.”36. the words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _ while “dull” in the second paragraph means _.a. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingb. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingc. great and important; commond. hopeful and helpful; careless37. according to the context we can guess that a genius is _ while an idiot is _.a. a normal person; a funny personb. a strong person; a weak personc. a highly intelligent person; a foolish or weak-minded persond. a famous person; an ordinary person38. a person _ is more likely to become a genius.a. whose parents are cleverb. often thinking about difficult problemsc. often helped by his parents and teachersd. born with a good brain and putting it into active use39. it is better for parents _.a. to praise and encourage their children more oftenb. to be hard on their childrenc. to leave their children alone with nothing to dod. to give their children as much help as possible40. which of the following is not true according to the article?a. parents play an important part in their childrens growth.b. the less you use your mind the duller you may become.c. intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.d. what makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.c america is a mobile society. friendships between americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. neither side feels hurt by this. both may exchange christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while-then no more. if the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. this can be quite difficult for us chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending sometimes deeply into both families. americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. they will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality easily. another difficult point for us chinese to understand americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they dont show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. this is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. we may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. the americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. they will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. and they expect that we will phone them from there. once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. we will find ourselves treated hospitably.for the americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. so accept their hospitality at home!41. the writer of this passage must be _.a. an american b. a chinese c. a professor d. a student 42. which of the following statements is true according to the passage?a. friendships between americans usually extend deeply into their families.b. friendships between americans usually last for all their lives.c. americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.d. americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.43. from the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in america to visit an american friend, we will probably be _.a. warmly welcomed at the airport b. offered a ride to his homec. treated hospitably at his home d. treated to dinner in a restaurant44. the underlined words “generous with our time” in paragraph 3 probably mean_.a. strict with time b. serious with timec. careful with time d. willing to spend time45. a suitable title for this passage would probably be _.a. friendships between chineseb. friendships between americansc. americans hospitalityd. americans and chineses views of friendshipdfuturologists(未来学家) predict that life will probably be very different in 2050.tv channels will have disappeared. instead, people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the programme directly to the television. today, we can use the world wide web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away. by 2050, music, films, programs, newspapers, and books will come to us by computer.cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast. cars will have computers to control the speed and there wont be any accidents. today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. by 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. space planes will take people halfway around the world in 2 hours. today, the united states space shuttle can go into space and land on earth again. by 2050, space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from los angeles to tokyo in just two hours.robots will have replaced people in factories. many factories already use robots. big companies prefer robots-they dont ask for pay rises or go on strikes, and they work 24 hours a day. by 2050, we will see robots everywhere-in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.medical technology will have conquered many diseases. today, there are electronic devices that connect directly to the brain to help people hear. by 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people to see and hear again.scientists will have discovered how to control genes. scientists have already produced clones of animals. by 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people, and decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have. scientists will be able to do these things, but should they?46. which of the following can not be realized today? a. reading newspapers on a compute.b. making a space shuttle go into space and land on earth again.c. creating cloned animals.d. choosing tv program
