Would you want to sit in a classroom looking at pictures in a textbook or working on a computer? Or would you like to perform experiments in a modern laboratory with help from real scientists? Students in one American state are doing that now. Most schools in America do not have the latest in laboratory equipment. It is just too costly. But the eastern state of Maryland and a non-profit group found a way to make such equipment available during some parts of the school yearthey put it in a bus!The 13-meter-long Maryland BioLab is a mobile classroom filled with equipment that lets students explore many kinds of science. It travels around the state visiting schools. Science teachers in the schools are very pleased that the students could perform an experiment using real chemicals. The schools do not have the newest equipment that the students use on the mobile BioLab. The instructors are actually scientists, who work alongside the teachers. They bring that science experience from the laboratory into the schools and teach the students how to use the newest techniques in science.The equipment helps students develop many different kinds of scientific interests. It has a blood lab where the students can go ahead and test if any of the evidence samples has blood on it. Another lab is the DNA analysis lab where the students try to test and see who carried out a specific crime. Many students finish their experiments and leave the bus being excited about the possibility of becoming a scientist.The mobile lab has been bringing bioscience education to schools in Maryland for more than 10 years. The Maryland BioScience Foundation supports the BioLab program. Brian Gaines is the chief executive officer of the foundation. He says the organizations goal is to help the students develop interest in science and create the next generation of scientists. 36. Most schools in America have trouble in .

Whats students attitude towards the mobile BioLab? A. Favorable.B. Doubtful.C. Unconcerned.D. Worried.BRetail (零售) experts found the hardest people might not have bought the product they were complaining about, but had strong feelings about a service or brand. The study is the first to take an in-depth look at the behavior of customers who write negative reviews online. It has proved that the popular theory that annoyed competitors or strange customers make the harshest critics is wrong. Researchers examined over 325,000 online reviews written by customers of a large clothing company and examined more than 7,219 book reviews on A to make their study.The experts concluded that a firms most loyal (忠诚的) customers are also their most negative reviewers. Professor Anderson said that when they told the clothing company they were receiving negative reviews from their best customers, they were shocked. The researchers found that these reviews were also on average much more negative than the 95 percent of genuine reviews by customers who had bought a product.After much research, the marketing experts concluded that reviewers were acting like “self-appointed brand managers” who like the company and continue buying from it despite a bad review. They found that critics were often complaining about a new product that is slightly different from a companys main offering and want to tell a company if they think it is making a bad decision and if something is to be done.Professor Anderson believes that customers feel the need to lie about buying a product to review it as they are looking for credibility (可靠). But many people ignore the importance of their reviews, which can have a harmful effect on a companys sales. He thinks the findings of the research might prompt companies to at least think that reviewers have bought a specific product first before giving their opinions on it.40. What can be learned about the study?A. It was based on online reviews only.B. Its results surprised many customers.C. Its results supported the traditional ideas. D. It was the first research on customers behavior.41. Customers give negative reviews to .A. affect the companys salesB. express their wish to be brand managersC. improve the companys product D. tell that they will stop buying from the company 42. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Companies should value customers reviews. B. Negative reviews are always from loyal customers. C. Customers need to be careful when writing reviews online. D. Reviews play an important role in todays online shopping. 43. In which column of a newspaper can we probably find the passage? A. Culture.B. Anecdote.C. Science.D. Business.CGenerally speaking, it is easy to find cheap items at garage sales that are held every other weekend in summer. But you need to keep an eye out and make sure that you dont fall prey to a bad deal. Weve brought you a list of items that you should stay away from during a garage sale.Anything related to safety during sporting activitiesIf you are new to adventure sports, and want to save money on equipment like helmets, wet suits, climbing gear and so on, you may do your shopping at garage sales. However, note that buying equipment which has been pre-used carries a lot of risks, since the new buyer is usually unaware of its possible damage. Be safe at all times and invest in new equipment, or rent it out from stores. Anything related to babiesBaby care items are quite expensive. That is why most young parents want to buy used goods. However, as a responsible parent, you will surely think over before making a decision. For example, stuffed toys carry the risk of infestation (寄生虫侵袭), so you need to keep in mind that they may bring a health risk to your children. Young parents should avoid buying them.Anything that you sleep onBedding items are a safe shelter for all kinds of harmful insects. While garage sales may offer some tempting (诱人的) bargains on these, it would be wiser to stay away from them. If you really need to buy these anyway, you must put them through a strict quality check.Garage sales are a lot of fun, as we all know. However, do not be charmed into buying something that you are unsure of, and save yourself from being at the receiving end of an unfair deal. 44. Whats the meaning of the underlined phrase “fall prey to” in Paragraph1? A. Worry about. B. Be harmed by. C. Care for. D. Be protected by.45. According to the text, bedding items offered at a garage sale . A. are popular with young parents B. are often sold at the same price as the new ones C. are usually forbidden due to some reasons D. need to be checked thoroughly before you buy them46. The author holds the view that . A. garage sales are charming in their own way B. everyone can get a good bargain at a garage sale C. one should avoid doing the shopping at a garage sale D. shoppers need to act cautiously at a garage saleDThe New York Times states that cheerleading (拉拉队) is the fastest growing girls sport, yet more than half of Americans do not believe it is a sport. Thats because they fail to distinguish between sideline cheerleaders and competitive ones. Sideline cheerleaders main goal is to entertain the crowd and lead them with team cheers, which should not be considered a sport. On the other hand, competitive cheerleading is a sport. A sport, according to the Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Advisors, is a “physical competition against an opponent, governed by rules and conditions under which a winner is declared, and the primary purpose of the competition is a comparison of the relative skills of the participants.” Because cheerleading follows these guidelines, it is a sport.Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activity. Like gymnasts, cheerleaders must learn rolling or bouncing. They perform standing back flips, round flip flops and full layout twists. Cheerleaders also perform lifts and tosses (抛). This is where the “fliers” are thrown in the air, held by “bases” in different positions that require strength and cooperation with other teammates. Just as basketball and football have guidelines for competitive play, so does competitive cheerleading. The whole routine (成套动作) has to be completed in less than three minutes and 15 seconds and the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area.Competitive cheerleaders goal is to be the best. Just like gymnasts, they are awarded points according to difficulty, technique and creativity. The more difficult, the better the score. Cheerleading is a team sport, so without cooperation, first place is out of reach. According to the National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research, cheerleading is the number-one cause of serious sports injuries to women. Emergency room visits for cheerleading are five times the number than for any other sport, partially because they do not wear protective clothes. While many athletes are equipped with hip pads, knee pads, shin guards or helmets, smiling cheerleaders are tossed into the air and spiral (盘旋) down into the arms of trusted teammates. The fliers must remain tight at all times so that their bases can catch them safely. Also, because cheerleading is not yet recognized as a sport by many schools, neither proper mat nor high enough ceilings are provided to ensure safety. Instead, the girls use whatever space that is available. More recognition of competitive cheerleading as a sport would decrease the number of injuries.Why dont many Americans think cheerleading is a sport? It cannot be because cheerleaders do not use balls or any other sports objects. Wrestling, swimming, diving, track, cross-country, gymnastics, ice-skating and boxing are recognized sports that do not use balls. Some people argue that cheerleaders are just doing their only job to entertain the crowd, but cheerleaders today compete against other groups and work just as hard as other athletes. Competitive cheerleading is a sport. It is a physical activity that is governed by rules under which a winner can be declared and its primary purpose is to compare the skills of participants. Hopefully, cheerleading will become as well-known a sport as football and basketball, and even appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports. 47. Most Americans dont regard cheerleading as a sport in that .A. all cheerleaders only intend to please the audienceB. they think cheerleading is not so popularC. they dont have a clear idea of the competitive cheerleading D. the cheerleaders are not in possession of attractive skills48. What can we learn from the third and fourth paragraphs?A. Every cheerleader should be better than gymnasts. B. There are no guidelines for competitive cheerleading.C. Teamwork plays an important role in cheerleading.D. Cheerleaders are the best sports players.49. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. the audience is content to see dangerous movesB. protective measures should be given to the cheerleadersC. only young people are interested in cheerleadingD. it is impossible to give recognition to cheerleading50. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Cheerleading is actually a sport.B. Cheerleading will appear in the Olympics.C. More girls develop interest in sports.D. It is not safe to be a cheerleader.四、任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下面短文，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：每个空格只填一个单词。Attending a concert
