are they unluckier than cats of other colors? many people in western countries think so. scientists at the university of california, berkeley (uc berkeley), did a study on cat colours and peoples understandings of cat personalities. the study found that people do judge(判断) cat personalities by color. scientists did a survey on the internet. there were 49 statements (描述) matching five cat colorings with 10 personalities. people think orange and bi-coloured (双色的) cats are friendly, tri-coloured (三色的) cats are not generous, and white cats are calm, lazy and shy. as for black cats, people think they dont have special personalities. but why do so many people dislike keeping black cats as pets? people think black cats have less special personalities, which might be because of their bad reputation (口碑). they think black cats may bring bad luck, especially at halloween. movies and television shows also make people believe that.although people have these ideas, uc berkeley scientists give another reason: people dont think black cats are pretty enough. after all, nothing can show black cats are unluckier than other cats. “you cant judge a cat by its colour, because its the personality of the cat, not the colour, that will let you know if the cat is right for you,” cathy marden, a scientist said.( ) 58. many people in western countries may think black cats are _.a. lovely animals b. a sign of bad luck c. a sign of good luckd. unfriendly animals( ) 59. the main idea of paragraph 2 is that _.a. people often complain about black cats on the internetb. people think cats of different colours have different personalities c. black cats are less popular than other cats d. people dont think black cats have special personalities( ) 60. people dont like black cats for the following reasons except _.a. black cats often appear in tv showsb. black cats bring bad luck to peoplec. black cats have bad reputationsd. they dont think black cats are beautiful( ) 61. the passage mainly talks about _.a. why black cats are popular in moviesb. why people are not willing to keep black cats as petsc. different colour cats have different personalitiesd. different people have different ideas on black cats dreading oliver james affluenza, i thought about what often happens at home. my 12-year-olddaughter is in tears. “mom, i have to take a test tomorrow. i dont understand any of it,” she cries out. aftershouting and shutting her door, she calms down enough to go through her notes. the following day i ask her how the test went and she just says “ok, i got a nine”.“wow. well done!” i say, before she finishes with “but i never get a ten!”according to james, thisobsessionwith getting top marks has been a bad development, which encourages people to think of education in terms of work and money. to test this, i asked mydaughter why she was so worried about her tests. she looked at me as if i was sick. “well, if idont get good grades, i wont be able to afford nice things like a car and a house.”i was quite surprised, because i dont consider myself a pushy(有进取心) parent. but james suggests and it leaves students feeling failures(失败) even if they are very bright. he points to the danish system(体制) of education as a better model. creating happy citizens who have good social skills is seenas more important than high achievements at school or the needs of business.for me, i cannot remember the last time i had to work out the area of a circle, recite ashakespeare poem or grammar rules, yet i have lived a happy life. what i really needed to learn at school was how to make polite conversations, or how toavoid getting into debt(负债) or how to develop good personality.this is in fact similar towhat oliver james really has in mind. and he is looking for schoolswhere students are encouraged to find and follow their own interests, something more like tongjon. tongjon has been developed in some korean private schools.it is quite different from the more rigid(严格的) system of learning things by heart that is used in korea, and indeed in many other school systems around the world.as the russian poet pushkin said, “inspiration(灵感) is needed in geometry(几何学) just as much as in poetry”, and inspiration does not come from endlessly revising for tests or gettingworried about them.( ) 62. what does the writer probably think of her daughter? a. she sets herself a goal too high to reach. b. she should be more polite to her parents.c. she is hard-working but not very bright.d. she takes her grades much too seriously.( ) 63. what does the word “obsession” in paragraph 3 mean?a. a pleasant and interesting fact.b. a satisfied and proud state.c. a practical and widely-used way.d. a fixed and often unreasonable idea.( ) 64. what can we infer from the passage?a. social skills are as important as high grades.b. too much interest in grades may shake self-confidence.c. the writer regrets not having studied hard at school.d. danish educational system is for very smart students.( ) 65. the writer wants to tell us that _.a. learning happily is the key to self-development.b. top marks may be helpful to increase ones interest.c. tests should be improved to give children inspiration.d. education should meet ones needs for work and money.第ii卷 (非选择题,共60分)五、词汇（1*15）a. 请根据括号中的中文提示、英文释义或句意，写出句中所缺单词，使句子通顺。66. yang mi is such an excellent actress that she has won high (赞扬,表扬) for her wonderful acting skills.67. is everybody here?no, millie is (be away) because of her illness.68. you cant (form a picture in your mind of someone or something) the beauty of li river if you doesnt see it with your own eyes.69. my english teacher is very popular though she is (严格的,严厉的) with us.70. scientist has done a lot to study the between colours and personalities.b. 从方框中选择合适的词并用其适当形式填空。success silent patient twelve value 71. i can t understand his on such an important matter.72. i was born on the of march, do you know what my star sign is?73. we are proud that the youth olympics was held in nanjing.74. dont be so with your son. hes just a five year-old boy.75. it is kind of mr. friend to offer so much advice to teenagers who are sufferi
