the right change. the conductor counted the change again and found it to be correct, so he handed it to einstein, saying, “the trouble with you is that you dont know your figures.”einstein said that there were only twelve people living who understood his theory of relativity although a good many books had been written to explain it.he had nothing but contempt（藐视）for the things most people set their hearts onfor fame and riches（财富）and luxury（奢华）.he didnt want money or praise. he made his own happiness out of such simple things as his work and playing the violin and sailing his boat. einsteins violin brought him more joy than anything else in life. he said that he often thought in music.31. the conductor thought einstein . a. wasnt good at maths b. had good memory c. was either mad or strange d. liked to make trouble32. einstein meant that many people . a. knew his theory of relativity well because they could explain it b. had written to have grasped his theory correctly c. pretended to have grasped his abstract theory d. admired him very much33. the underlined part “sethearts on” means .a. believe b. have c. love d. hate ( b )deborah cohen is a senior natural scientist at the rand corp and the author of the book a big fat crisis: the hidden forces behind the obesity epidemic and how we can end it. according to the book, there are lots of misunderstandings of obesity.1. if youre obese, blame your genes.obesity rates have increased. yet, between 1980 and 2000, the number of americans who are obese has doubledtoo quickly for genetic factors to be responsible.at restaurants, a dollar puts more calories on our plates than ever before, because restaurant meals usually have more calories than what we prepare at home, so people who eat out more frequently have higher rates of obesity than those who eat out less.2. if youre obese, you lack self-control.research shows that if we are faced with too much information, we have a tendency to make poor dietary choices. our world has become so rich in temptation that we can be led to consume too much in ways we cant understand. even the most vigilant(警觉的) people may not be up to the task of controlling themselves.3. lack of access to fresh fruits and vegetables is responsible for obesity.although the us department of agriculture estimates that fewer than 5 percent of americans live in the “food deserts”, about 65 percent of the nations population is overweight or obese. for most of us, obesity is not related to access to more fresh fruits and vegetables, but to the choices we make in supermarkets.4. the problem is not that we eat too much, but that we dont exercise.michelle obamas “lets move” campaign is based on the idea that if kids exercise more, childhood obesity rates will decrease. but there was no significant decrease in physical activity levels as obesity rates climbed in the 1980s and 1990s. in fact, although a drop in work-related physical activity may account for up to 100 fewer calories burned, leisure physical activity appears to have increased. the problem is that we eat too much.34the author mentioned deborah cohens book in paragraph 1 to _.a. introduce the topicb. draw readers attentionc. introduce the author of the bookd. advertise the book35what is the relationship between obesity and the place where you eat?a. the less you eat out, the higher rates of obesity you have.b. the less you eat at home, the lower rates of obesity you have.c. the more you eat out, the higher rates of obesity you have.d. the more you eat at home, the higher rates of obesity you have.36whats the best title of this passage?a. four misunderstandings of obesity.b. four rules to help you avoid obesity.c. obesity leads to a big fat crisis.d. lacking self-control leads to obesity.( c )at a primary school in a small town in the east of south carolina, second-grade teachers garneau and lynne are convinced that separating elementary-age boys and girls produces immediate academic improvement in both genders（性别）david chadwell, south carolinas expert of single gender education says, “boys and girls learn, hear and respond to their surroundings differentlywe can teach boys and girls based on what we now know”male and female eyes are not organized in the same way, he explainsthe organization of the male eye makes it sensitive to motion and direction“boys understand the world as objects moving through space,” he saysthe male eye is also drawn to cooler colors like silver and blackits no accident that boys tend to create pictures of moving objects instead of drawing the happy colorful family, like girls do in their classthe female eye, on the other hand, is drawn to warmer colors like red, yellow and orangeto attract girls, chadwell says, the teacher doesnt need to move as much as in boys classusing descriptive phrases and lots of colors in presentations or on the blackboard gets their attentionboys and girls also hear differently“when someone speaks in a loud tone, girls understand it as yelling,” chadwell says“they think youre mad and can shut down” girls are more sensitive to soundshe advises girls teachers to watch the tone of their voicesboys teachers should sound more forceful, even exciteda boys nervous system causes him to be more cautious when he is standing, moving, and the room temperature is around 69 degrees fahrenheitstress in boys, he says, tends to increase blood flow to their brains, a process that helps them stay focusedgirls are more focused when seated in a warmer room around 75 degrees fahrenheitgirls also respond to stress differentlywhen exposed to threat and conflict, blood goes to their guts（肠道）, leaving them feeling nervous or anxiousthese differences can be applied in the classroom, chadwell adds“single gender programs are about making the best use of the learning”37what is david chadwells attitude toward separating elementary-age boys and girls while learning?asupportive bworriedcconcerned duninterested38to engage boy in a class, the teacher _amust have a moving object in this handbneeds to wear clothes in warm colorchas to speak politelydhad better move constantly while teaching39which of the following shows the organization of the passage?（ = paragraph 1 = paragraph 2 = paragraph 3 = paragraph 8 ）40which of the following students is most likely to be focused?aa boy sitting in a warm room ba standing boy who is faced with stressca girl standing in a cold roomda girl who is facing a lot of pressure四.七选五 (10分)doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. they warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer._41_ some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. others burst with anger, and scream and yell. but other people keep their anger inside. they can not or will not express it. this is called repressing anger.for years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a persons health than expressing it. they said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙). they speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. _42_some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. they believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure._43_ they say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. if it is, they say, “_44_ wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. _45_ 七选五答题卡41._ 42._ 43._ 44._
